Horror Nightmare Game: Peak Slayer

[War is a beast far bigger than Leviathan.]

With a flash of white light, the scene in front of Yun Fan changed again.

The sun is high in the sky, and its fiery light covers the earth.

Boom!

Accompanied by an astonishing noise, a long queue stretching for miles passed through the shadows, escorting prison vehicles slowly into the thick city.

The angle of view kept getting closer, and Yun Fan also saw the figure detained in a prison car.

It was a male mermaid with blue hair.

The exposed skin of the mermaid was covered with dense wounds, and its flesh was rolled up, looking like it had been seriously injured.

"Oooo!"

"These damn devil people!"

"...."

Along the way, cheers of joy came from the mouths of the sallow-looking people.

While their faces were filled with joy, their eyes were also filled with malicious glances.

That's undisguised resentment.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

I don't know who started it first, triggering a riot among the people. They threw bright red tomatoes, rotten apples, or eggs like crazy people, mixed with some sharp gravels.

"Devils! You devils!"

The old woman wearing a white scarf threw an orange, then covered her face and cried bitterly.

Snapped!

The strong man opened his slingshot, and the rocks shot out hit the mermaid with bruises on her nose and face.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Daddy, give me back my daddy!"

The barefoot little girl rushed out of the crowd like crazy, waving the sharp knife in her hand.

but...

clang!

Just as the little girl picked up the sharp knife and stabbed it into the railing along the gap of the prison car, the heavily armored knight at the end of the queue pulled out the long sword from his waist in time.

The sharp knife hit the stone pavement hard, making a crisp sound.

bass!

"Poor child." The knight sheathed his sword and made a complicated prayer. "All your hatred is known to the Lord."

"He will judge on behalf of you who are suffering and judge these devil believers!"

"And only the Lord can do this."

"As mortals, we are not qualified to make judgments on behalf of the Lord."

"The Great Lord has vanquished the evil Velov Sea Monster!"

Taking off his visor, the knight shouted loudly.

"Therefore, let us hail the victory of the war together!"

But to Yunfan's expectation, the roaring crowd was now silent.

They looked at each other blankly, as if they didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all.

But after a few seconds, the confusion on everyone's faces was wiped away, replaced by twisted smiles.

It was a weird smile that contained hatred and joy.

Even though he was under the sun, Yunfan still shivered involuntarily.

The same goes for the mermaid next to him.

"Is this, is this true? Sir?"

An older man of considerable status walked out, stood tremblingly beside the knight, raised his head and asked.

However...

Although he was asking the knight in front of him, his eyes, like most others, were directed at the leather-armored man wearing a white cloak who was walking at the front of the queue.

"Victory? The Kraken fell?"

"How can this be?"

"The war is over! Haha!"

More and more people started talking to each other.

Their voices gradually turned from whispers to manic roars, forming a wave of sound that shook the earth.

"grown ups!"

"Lord Hunter! Is this true?"

"Son of the Lord! Please tell us the truth."

"Son of God with holy blood flowing! Only your words can convince the suffering people!"

"..."

And this time...

Da, da, da, da, da!

The brisk sound of horse hooves suddenly disappeared.

Click.

The leather-armored commander at the front of the team turned around on horseback and fired the bolt of his gun.

"Yes."

Ancient golden formations emerged from his eyes, drawing sacred golden threads in the air in front of him.

The voice of the Holy Hunter is low, but sonorous and powerful.

He declared this.

"Yesterday, I performed the Lord's will!"

"He heard your prayers and brought His divine power to the world!"

"He said that the sin of the sea monster in Vilov's ocean is unforgivable! It must be judged by the Holy See!"

"The Siren of Weilov has fallen!"

boom!

Pull the trigger lightly, and a pillar of holy light rises into the sky.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The light pillar climbed to the top and exploded into a rain of light that filled the sky. The strong momentum seemed to overwhelm the weak sunlight in an instant, as if a grand fireworks were launched in the night.

Click.

The bullet casing fell to the ground, breaking the dead silence of the world.

The knights in the middle of the queue reacted quickly. They immediately pulled back the black cloth covering a long carriage pulled by several handsome horses, and a huge rotting sea beast corpse was exposed to the public's view.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

The crowd clapped their mouths excitedly, and there were waves of powerful sounds.

The man excitedly hugged the woman next to him and shouted his vows of love.

The muscular blacksmith tore his shirt to pieces like a beast, even though it was a new piece of clothing he had just worn in the morning.

"Oh, Lord!"

The little girl who just wanted to commit murder with a knife knelt on the ground. She picked up a sweet apple that rolled to her hand and kissed its dusty surface inch by inch with her chapped lips.

"Lord, thank you for loving me so much..."

"host."

Hot tears rolled out of the girl's eyes and streaked across her cheeks silently.

When she looked up at the merman again, there was no trace of hatred or pain in her eyes. She just looked at the merman who was covered in wounds calmly, showing a grateful smile.

"Lord! Please don't let it die so happily..."

In the prison car, after hearing the little girl's sinister murmur, the mermaid wiped the blood spilled from her nostrils and looked away in fear, not daring to look at the girl who looked like a gust of wind could blow her away.

【What has the war brought to us?】

The mermaid lowered its head, and Yunfan could hear its heartbeat.

[Pain and hatred fill everyone's hearts, and I can feel their gazes that want to eat me alive.]

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! [Some of them lost their sons, and some of them lost their fathers.]

【Yes, they are victims.】

[The pain caused by the war inspired the hatred in their hearts, and the endless hatred made people fall into deeper pain, unable to extricate themselves. ]

【This is an endless cycle.】

【From the moment the war began, it was destined that no one could escape.】

"Hate makes people distorted."

The mermaid moved her lips and opened her mouth, attracting the attention of many people.

"And what brought all this was war."

"War turns innocent creatures into bloody executioners. War makes creatures only indulge in hatred, causing them to involve more innocent people and create batches of insensitive executioners..."

The mermaid's words were suddenly interrupted.

"The devil's people who confuse people's hearts! Even now, do you still want to incite us and make us condemn our hearts?"

In the crowd, countless people rose up, opened their slingshots and shot stones one after another.

"No!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The mermaid smiled.

From the moment he entered the prison car until he was tied to the stake, he smiled for the first time.

"I'm not just talking about you."

"And us."

"Why would we involve innocent people in this? Who can tell me?"

The mermaid uttered an inarticulate whisper.

[Who turned the blue whale into a killing machine? And who turned the octopus in the deep sea into a murderer who destroyed the city? 】

【When did the mermaids collectively fall into endless hatred? 】

[Rick put down his beloved accordion, Helena said goodbye to Mermaid Paradise, Luya resolutely abandoned everything about it...]

[Even Lore, that idiot who could only write long poems stupidly, actually took up the halberd of war.]

【When I was frightened by the twisted humans, I realized how similar they were to my companions.】

[Perhaps, they are not the only ones who are so twisted. There is also...]

【ourselves.】

"Therefore, I pronounce the sentence on behalf of my father!" The holy hunter's eyes were bright, and he raised his arms and gave the order, "You deserve to be burned!"

Bang bang bang bang!

The crowd applauded and cheered.

"May the fire drive away the evil water of the Velov Ocean, and may you no longer fall into its arms in the next life..."

The priest holding the Holy Light walked up to the high platform and recited a sung prayer.

"Hahaha!"

The mermaid laughed crazily. It seemed to have figured out something and howled loudly: "But we, we are not the same!"

"We belong to Leviathan, the executioner, and are evil demons, but what about you?"

"The one you believe in is a noble and kind Lord!"

"You humans are obviously more twisted and dehumanized than the devil's servants!"

"You first plundered our sea, slaughtered our compatriots, and polluted our living place."

"It's you! It's you who completely killed the tolerant and protective Vilov. It's you who personally created Leviathan, this terrifying beast."

Torches light the pyre.

"The executioner stems from human evil! Human beings!"

"Your ugliness and desires have created such a terrifying beast as Leviathan, and the method you use to shape it is called war!"

"War is a beast far bigger than Leviathan!"

In the raging fire, the mermaid kept wailing.

"As long as the ugly desires of living beings exist, executioners will continue to emerge!"

"..."

The fire spread from the heel to the whole body, and the mermaid's voice gradually weakened.

【All suffering has its source.】

[Lord Leviathan, I finally understand what you said...]

[You once said that the party that made the mistake was neither human beings nor us.]

[Now I understand that the source of suffering is the desire of living beings, which is war!]

[As long as desire exists, war will inevitably start. The only difference is whether humans start it first, or mermaids. Or other races with the ability to think. 】

【War is the source of suffering!】

The mermaid's heartbeat echoed in Yunfan's mind.

It came to an unequivocal conclusion.

But at this moment, at the moment when the mermaid turned into a piece of coke and its life disappeared, a gentle but powerful voice slid into Yunfan's eardrum like flowing water.

【All suffering has its source.】

[Mermaid, your thinking direction is correct, but what you realize is just a representation. 】

[War is no more the source of suffering than tools are the culprit.]

[What dominates all this is a giant beast that is far bigger than war.]

[Unfortunately, when I realized this, it was too late. I had naturally fallen into its trap. 】

[The war will inevitably begin. But the reason is not the desire of living beings, but its driving force.]

[It dominates everything and drives everything. Hidden above everyone’s head, it watches everything in the world all the time. 】

【You have done a good enough job. Now, sleep peacefully.】

【Go to sleep.】

[Leave the battle against the source of suffering to the warriors who have not yet fallen.]

The ethereal neutral sound fades away.

In a place where no one could see, a drop of turbid black water slipped from the mermaid's body and was instantly swallowed up by the fire.

【Ah ah ah ah...】

The mermaid revealed his last words.

【Home....】

【I want to go home...】

Whoosh!

The world was frozen at this moment, and the next second, the scene in front of Yun Fan's eyes shattered like glass.
