Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life
Chapter 310: The Stake
Changes continue.
Everything in front of me seemed to have gone through thousands of years of time in an instant. The broken walls, broken stone bricks, dark iron fence surrounded by coldness, and the collapsed bell tower were all flashing back.
The noisy voices in my ears became clearer and clearer.
"Burn them!"
"How dare you do such a dirty thing in a holy place!"
"The gods will make the whole church angry because of you!"
"..."
"What's going on...?"
Cheng Shen's eyes flashed, and he saw many strange figures appearing around him and Goviya. They were all wearing black and white classical religious uniforms. There were priests and nuns, and they all looked indignant.
He wanted to move his body but found that he had been tied to a wooden stake, with firewood piled at his feet, and the liquid spilled on it gave off a strong smell of kerosene.
Also tied to the burning platform was Goviya.
She looked dazed at first, then showed a cold look on her face, and struggled hard with her hands and feet.
"Fog mirage..."
Cheng Shen scanned his surroundings to assess the situation in front of him.
"If you are injured in the surface world of nightmares, you will die. Once you are burned to death in this foggy city mirage, it will definitely mean that your soul will be destroyed... I don't know why these magicians are crazy. The top priority now is to escape from here..."
The cold, hard object stuck in the sleeve of his arm aroused Cheng Shen's thoughts. Although this sudden mirage in the fog put him in a difficult predicament, it did not affect the items he carried.
The Nightmare Blade is still there.
At this time.
A solemnly dressed priest walked up the aisle holding a torch:
"Poor Daniel, Goviya! Your two souls have been eroded by the devil's desires and tainted by evil. Only the holy fire can wash away the sins in your bodies and purify your hearts!"
"This is God's punishment, but also God's gift. It is God's incomparable tolerance towards her believers..."
"Before you are completely purified, you have one last chance to repent to the tolerant and merciful God. God knows that what you have done is not your original wish, and you can still enter the sanctuary of God..."
He said with a pitiful tone.
"Repent you **!"
Govia couldn't help cursing immediately. She heard the whispers of the people on the side and roughly understood why she and Cheng Shen were tied to the stake.
This made her feel extremely angry after being coldly rejected by Cheng Shen.
"I will not choose to commit adultery with anyone! You bunch of blind things! Hypocritical! Despicable! Shameless! You are a vicious bastard! You have been dead for eighteen hundred years and you are still restless. You are here to act like a ghost!"
She kept swearing like a barrage of curses.
Cheng Shen couldn't even listen and glanced at her, "Don't take this opportunity to criticize Sang and Huai!"
The crowd below has become excited.
"madman!"
"How evil!"
"Govia has been corrupted by the devil and is hopeless!"
"It was because her faith in God was not firm enough that the devil took advantage of her. Her soul and faith were already impure!"
"Burn these adulterers and adulterers to death!
"
"..."
The face of the priest who presided over the purification ceremony turned livid, his palms trembled, and he said sternly: "I will pronounce God's punishment on you..."
"Wait! I confess! Oh no, I confess!"
Cheng Shen shouted hurriedly.
The priest's expression softened. He stopped throwing the torch and turned to look at Cheng Shen, "What else do you want to say?"
"We were bewitched by the devil and committed unforgivable crimes. We should accept God's punishment. This is what we deserve. I sincerely repent to God, pray for my soul to be purified, and ascend to God's sanctuary..."
Cheng Shen pretended to ramble a lot.
Immediately afterwards.
His conversation suddenly changed.
"But... we are not the only ones who should be punished!"
"Pooh!"
Goviya on the side immediately guessed what he was going to do, and couldn't help but spit, secretly cursing him for being shameless.
Even ghosts lie!
"You mean there are others in the temple who have been tempted by the devil!?"
The priest's expression looked uncertain under the firelight.
"That's right! I am willing to confess everything in order to repay God for his tolerance towards us."
Cheng Shen Shen knew how to use magic to defeat magic, and she never strayed from the gods they believed in. She seemed to have become her most devout believer...
"Tell me carefully. If there is concrete evidence, the place where God's glory shines will not shelter any evil bewitched by the devil!"
The priest said seriously.
Cheng Shen turned his head and glanced at the crowd. The expressions on the faces of the believers who had harshly accused him, were so righteous, and wished they could personally go on stage to burn him to death, now had a subtle change in their expressions.
Some people subconsciously hid behind others, for fear of being seen by Cheng Shen; some people looked at him angrily, seemingly fearless, but those eyes contained more of sternness and inner turmoil.
There was a commotion among the crowd hidden in the darkness.
Cheng Shen called him a good guy from the bottom of his heart.
He just wanted to delay, but he actually got mad! Did he come to Xiaoleiyin Temple? What kind of monsters are these people!
I have an idea in my mind.
Cheng Shen looked at the nun who had yelled the loudest before, "I saw her having an affair with a believer the night before yesterday, in front of the statue!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
The nun immediately shouted in shock and anger.
Cheng Shen didn't want to hear her explanation, and continued to look at another tall believer, "I saw that he hid God's wealth secretly!"
"I, I didn't!
"
"I saw him torture and kill innocent animals, perform evil rituals, and even find statues of evil gods enshrined in his room!"
"I saw him deceive his most trusted companions, hide the credit of others, and take it as his own!"
"I also saw..."
Cheng Shen called the names in the crowd one by one. He had no intention of confronting them anyway.
They just made up random charges and covered it up.
This ghost place is a sinful place where evil spirits breed. There is evil hidden in everyone's heart.
Therefore, when Cheng Shen told about the sins a person had committed, the first reaction of others was not to question, but to subconsciously believe...
The priest's expression could no longer maintain his composure. His cold gaze swept across the crowd, and his face was filled with terrifying veins.
"Is there any evidence for what you said!?"
he asked.
"hehe."
Cheng Shen did not answer, but said, "Don't forget that you are there."
"The crimes you have committed are countless, and your hands are stained with innocent blood! Why can't we get a response from the gods? Because the people who guard the temple have long since fallen into minions of the devil!"
The conclusive look on his passionate words made even Goviya feel a little confused.
Could everything he said be true...?
wrong!
This shameless liar!
An inexplicable feeling of empathy made Goviya feel quite complicated.
On the one hand, she should be happy to see that the horror in this mirage was contained by Cheng Shen's few words.
On the one hand, she can't even stand it anymore and wants to stand up and expose it for justice...
"What nonsense are you talking about!?"
The priest said angrily.
"oh?"
When the surrounding believers heard Cheng Shen's explosive revelation, they couldn't help but focus on him.
"You are slandering! I understand...The devil has taken over Daniel's body! Everything it says is false!"
The priest hurriedly explained.
"I risked my life to frame you!" Cheng Shen said in an exaggerated tone.
"You damn devil!"
The priest was extremely regretful.
He shouldn't have given Daniel a chance to confess and speak!
"Accept the purification!"
He immediately threw out the torch in his hand, and as soon as the burning flame came into contact with the dry wood stained with kerosene, a raging fire immediately arose!
call!
"Your sins will be in the holy fire..."
The priest's face was ashen as he pronounced the sentence, but before he could finish his words, he saw a black shadow flying out of the flames in front of him! There were still flames hanging on the corners of his clothes, and the momentum was as fierce as a tiger descending from the mountain!
Whoosh!
The cold light swept across!
The priest felt a chill in his throat and couldn't help but reach out to cover it. He pointed at Cheng Shen's back and wanted to call the guards to catch him, but he could only hiss, and when he saw the looks of the believers around him, they became very strange.
.
"Run separately! Meet at the old place!"
After Cheng Shen attacked the priest with one blow, he immediately disappeared into the crowd, leaving only his shout in the crowd.
"Old place?"
Govia was also stunned, and then she quickly realized that the purpose of Cheng Shen's words was to mislead everyone so as to distract their investigation efforts, but she still couldn't help but cursed in her heart: "You are lying to everyone!"
"The devil has escaped!"
"But Father Hughes was murdered by the devil!"
"Catch them!
"
"..."
It wasn't until the priest's body fell to the ground stiffly that the believers, who were still suspicious of each other, finally realized what had just happened.
The place suddenly became chaotic.
Some people went to arrest Cheng Shen and Goviya who were escaping, some people knelt down and prayed anxiously, some people stepped forward to lift up the priest's body and tried to treat it, and some people secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they looked at the chaotic scene.
No one noticed.
But the blood sprayed from Father Hughes' neck slowly flowed on the surface, and then quietly seeped into the ground.
The ground that was supposed to be filled with the blood of Cheng Shen and Goviya had strange lines of evil drawn out...
"Catch him! He's running that way!"
The shouts behind him were only separated by a corridor from Cheng Shen.
He fled through the intricate church building, killing two more pursuers on the way.
The blade of the knife in his hand gradually became dyed red.
Cheng Shen was not familiar with the terrain. He knew that escaping inside the church would be a trap. The route he chose was to lead to the outside as much as possible. But when he ran to the fence outside the church, what he saw in front of him made him feel distraught.
block.
Outside the cold iron fence was boundless white mist. When the mist surged, the sight that was occasionally revealed would make his heart tremble.
White fog area!
This terrible fog mirage brought them to the white fog area!
With the last glimmer of hope in his heart, Cheng Shen took out the soil from the town in his arms, but there was no response. His location was an unknown distance away from the town where he first came in, and the contact had been completely cut off.
"Look here...!"
The sound in his ears made Cheng Shen immediately squat down and hide his body in the thick grass.
The sudden turn of events threw his mind into confusion, but he soon calmed down.
"The current situation is not the worst... at least I am not tied to the stake and burned to death...
As long as you live, you will find a way out one day."
Cheng Shen woke up.
"Right now, we need to figure out what this foggy mirage is...the past scenes are reappearing through the power of nightmares? But in such a reappearance of the past, what can be called a nightmare?"
Cheng Shen wiped the blade in his hand, making it shiny and reflective again. What was reflected on the mirror-like blade was not his face.
It's a blood-red world.
Cheng Shen couldn't see anything, and his thoughts quickly returned to the present, "The priest and several pursuers I just killed are equivalent to the level of ordinary people. Will they turn into nightmares after being killed?"
Shaked his head.
He felt that there should be other terrifying places in this foggy mirage.
"Did you find it there?"
"No!"
"Where are you?"
"..."
Cheng Shen peeked through the gaps in the grass at the chasing soldiers. Some of them were ordinary believers, wearing simple cloth and posing no threat to Cheng Shen.
But there are also some guards who are fully armed and wearing metal armor.
To kill this kind of guard, it is unrealistic to rely solely on the Nightmare Blade in his hand. His ability to instantly kill other pursuers is based on his dual advantages of physical and psychological quality.
However, this advantage is not enough for him to achieve cross-level combat.
"Um?"
When Cheng Shen was moving slowly in the grass, he suddenly touched something under his feet. He lowered his head and dug lightly with the Nightmare Blade for a while under the dim skylight. A foul-smelling rotten corpse liquid suddenly flowed out.
"This is……"
Cheng Shen held his breath and continued digging, and soon dug out a human arm that was already infested with maggots. He had a strong psychological quality, and of course he would not be frightened by this mere corpse.
But just when he was about to look away, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the fingers that had exposed joints seem to be beating...
"ah!
"
A scream suddenly sounded.
"Leihan? Leihan!"
Cheng Shen then heard the shouts of other believers. There was no response for a long time. Someone whispered in horror: "I heard that a demon was buried in the garden behind. Strange things have happened more than once..."
“What evil can be at work in God’s glorious place!?”
Someone immediately scolded.
"Daniel possessed by the devil must be hiding here! This crazy guy, Hughes and he were so good friends, but he was brutally killed by him! I swear I will find him out!"
However, his righteous words did not make others change their minds, "Then you can continue looking here, let's go to the other side and have a look..."
Less than a moment.
There was only one figure left who was still checking the area.
"You idiots with weak beliefs!...Daniel, I know you are hiding inside! I, I will guard the entrance today to see how long you can hide!"
Cheng Shen looked through the gap and watched this guy's bluff shouting.
I was planning to sneak up and kill him.
Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he saw something in the grass next to the man...
It was a "person" with reversed joints, twisted limbs, and a sinister face.
