I Became a God in a Horror Game
Chapter 533 Witch Trial
When the bishop saw Hearts abruptly lowered his head and fell silent, he carefully glanced at Hearts' expression and was abruptly stunned.
There was nothing on Hong Tao's face, no sadness, no joy, no anger or fear, and there was not a trace of light in those purple eyes that were originally flowing. That crack in the rock, those cool, moist winds blowing on his parched face, made him blink a little, then chuckle slightly.
Then, he wept.
The bishop was stunned, and because of his surprise, he stopped talking for a while: "You, are you crying?"
On this island for so long, the bishop has seen thousands of women weeping on the island, but he has never seen the tears of hearts, not even on the night that hearts came to the island at the age of twelve.
All the men who have ordered hearts complained that no matter how hard they tried, they would never cry, that face was so beautiful, those eyes were so glinting, how charming it is to cry, why not cry?
Later, the tears of Hearts and his beauty became a legendary existence on this island. There are always men on the island who get drunk and ask Hearts with obsessive eyes and yearning - why don't you cry? I have to sacrifice my life, are you willing to cry for me?
Hearts just raised her eyes lazily and smiled: "Tears are a symbol of pain."
"I cry, and the pain I turn over will be less. For the god I believe in, I won't shed a single tear for you mortals."
"You are not worth it."
"Did I cry?" Heart asked suddenly, "So it was me who cried?"
"I thought it was rain from the crevices outside the island, blowing water down my face."
"...A gap? There is no gap for the wind to blow in..." The bishop followed the eyes of the hearts, and then looked at it, "Is that gap?"
"Look more closely, Hearts, that crack isn't a crack in the rock, it's a door crack."
With the bishop's reminder, the crack in the rock instantly turned into a gap where the silver-blue door was slightly opened, and there were endless silver-blue brilliance stars flowing in it. The crack in the rock that Hearts saw just now was like an illusion. .
The bishop looked at the hearts: "This is the second organ of this prison, and it is also the secret of the island's ability to float."
"The reason why the city in the sky never falls and floats in the sky is because of the wind blowing from the gap at the bottom of the island."
"This gap was left by the gentleman. He said that this gap was a door gap that he deliberately left. The other end of the door leads to the abyss and sin. He asked us not to look directly at the silver-blue behind the door gap. The light, which would allow those looking directly to see the psychedelic scene, and what was on the other side of the door would slowly suck us into the other side of the door and never get out again."
"This is an unspeakable and unspeakable rift. We deliberately built the sky prison on the opposite side of the gap. If you want to leave, you must pass through this gap. In addition to the male eel pond, no one can successfully come out from below."
The bishop condescendingly pronounced on the hearts: "Don't struggle, you will be trapped on this island for the rest of your life."
After the bishop who was in charge of imprisoning the hearts came out from the bottom of the prison, he quickly received a call from the Pope, he answered the phone respectfully, and the Pope asked heavily: "Have you locked him up? "
"Close it up." The bishop said in a submissive tone, "Hang him up for two days. After he is weak, we will interrogate him well, and we will definitely ask him how he learned these witchcraft."
"Well." The Pope was silent for a while, "Don't be too harsh on him, may God bless us all."
Taking advantage of the Pope's words, he asked, "...What did he see when he looked directly at the gap at the bottom of the prison?"
Hearts is not the first prisoner in the Sky Island they are imprisoned in. In addition to the tightness of the prison, because the gap is confusing and allows people to see the most lustful things in their hearts, it is equivalent to a test. Liar and Veritaserum, as well as good interrogation effect of prisoners.
Just put the prisoner in, and when the prisoner looks up and sees the fissure and says what he sees, he can know what the prisoner is thinking in the depths of his heart - no matter how stubborn, he has even deceived himself. The senior swindler, in front of this rift, has to face his inner desires and truth.
The bishop was not surprised to ask the Pope about this, because the hearts didn't make a dead hand today, which surprised everyone, and they were all waiting for the results of the hearts interrogation after seeing the rift.
But this result is obviously no way to satisfy everyone.
"Hearts... what I saw was a crack on an island." The bishop replied hesitantly, "He said that he opened from the crack and saw rain outside the island."
"Cracks won't deceive us." The Pope was silent for a long time, and he slowly repeated the bishop's words, "So what the Queen desires is... a crack on an island that is raining?"
Palace of the Popes, main hall.
The Pope and Phoebe were face to face with the bishop who brought Phoebe, his eyes were cloudy on his aging face, and with a slightly trembling tone, he did not look like some high-ranking Pope, but an ordinary old man who was about to rot into the ground.
"I ordered the cardinal to detain the person who attacked me at the bottom of the city in the sky, where it is absolutely impossible for him to escape."
"But this thing is enough to wake us up."
The Pope's turbid eyes suddenly sharpened, and his tone was abruptly low: "Island in the sky! This pure land that belongs to me and God can actually have the power of witches to go up!"
He raised his heavy scepter and slammed the pestle on the ground heavily, causing the ground to vibrate, and angrily rebuked: "You people who guard the ground, how dereliction of duty are you, to let the witch climb the ladder, the only human being Noah's Ark is polluted by the spreading evil!"
"Twenty-one cardinals died, and even I was threatened." The Pope shook his head sadly, "These are all the meritorious servants who have tried countless witches in the witch trials, and actually died in the Holy See. What do you want the people to think of us in the divided security zone? If the news spreads, wouldn’t the prestige that the Holy See finally built up overnight?”
"We are no match for a group led by the captain of the Saintess Patrol who defected from the Holy See and defected from the Inquisition, and they said that they would clean up all the witches!" Where's the captain of the guard? Severe punishment!"
The bishop who led Phoebe in shook his shoulders and reported in a very low voice: "Sir Pope, we have strictly blocked the news, and it should not be spread."
"And the ladder..." The bishop paused, he raised his head slightly, looked at the scepter in the Pope's hand that was not light at first glance, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and reminded in a low voice, "Sir Pope, did you forget? Is it? Only you can open the ladder."
Phoebe, who had been keeping her head down, also raised her head at the moment. She followed the bishop's gaze, looked at the scepter in the Pope's hand, and raised her eyebrows.
The scepter looks simple and heavy, like it was carved from a very old wood. Mysteriously, this gem is not engraved, but suspended on a scepter. The gem is the size of an adult's fist. It is not clear, but a little turbid. You can see some cotton wool-like debris inside. But none of this is the first reason why this uniquely shaped scepter is eye-catching—
——The center of this gemstone is slightly emitting a layer of silver-blue light, with the shape of the scepter of the tentacles, and the head of the suspended gemstone, it looks like a comb jellyfish glowing in the ocean.
The bishop raised his hand carefully and motioned the Pope to look at the scepter in his hand: "Sir Pope, the ladder to the island can only be opened with the scepter in his hand."
"You begged the gentleman who sold the island to you, saying that you hoped that this floating island, the [Sky City], would be very secretive, and that only those you wanted to go up could go there, and those who didn't want to go up there. You can't go up, you want this island to be like your home, and only you have the keys to this island."
"The gentleman agreed to your request and really gave you a key to the city in the sky."
"He wrapped a small section of the fissure with a gem, so that the light from the fissure became gentle and safe, and it would be safe to look directly at it, and then put this gem on your scepter and give it to you. I give you as the key to the island. The fissure wrapped in the gemstone is of the same origin as the fissure in your gemstone, so only the scepter in your hand can open the ladder to the island, no matter whether the captain of the guard guards the ladder or not, as long as the The scepter is still there, and the [key] to open the island is still there, so it is impossible for any witch to come to the island and contaminate it."
The Pope looked at the gem on the scepter and fell silent.
After a long, long time, the Pope said, "You are right, as long as the scepter is in my hand, no one can land on the island."
The bishop, who thought he was going to be severely punished, let out a sigh of relief.
"The fissure wrapped by the scepter gem that the gentleman gave me..." The Pope fell into memory, and he whispered in a trance, "It has a very strong power, and there is such a short fissure at the bottom of the island, less than one meter, It can hold an island in the air for more than ten years without sinking, such a dangerous and sharp gap, but the gentleman can easily wrap it into a safe gem and give it to me as a key."
"I used to be curious about the material of this gemstone. Like the scepter in my hand, I used a lot of hard materials to try to wrap the gap at the bottom of the island. I've tried all the gemstones in the world, and there is no single one. It can resist the strength of the crack, but in the blink of an eye, it is gone."
"In the end, I couldn't help my curiosity. I asked the gentleman what kind of gems and materials can wrap and fill the cracks under the island."
"The gentleman told me with a smile that there is no gem or material in this world that can fill the gap leading to the abyss."
"I raised the scepter and asked him, what is this gem in my hand?"
The Pope paused, then said in a trance: "The gentleman replied with a smile—"
"—it's the heart of a painful soul condensed."
"Only a gem of a soul that has been congealed from the body by enough pain can close the door to desire and the abyss."
