under hope

"Ah... Holy Emperor, I... I'm sorry, I... broke my oath..."

The ceremonial sword could no longer support Blake's lifeless body, and fell into the bloody water with him.

After confirming that Blake was dead, he huddled in the corner Only then did the pioneers dare to stand up

"It must be those extra eyes..."

The pioneer gasped, and Blake's sudden change frightened him a lot.

The old man seemed to have discovered an upward passage and had already walked in first.

After the pioneer calmed down, He also quickened his pace to keep up with the old man.

He opened the trap door at the end of the passage. In the angry voice of the old man, the pioneer learned that this was the president's office.

Regardless of the emotional old man, the pioneer was minding his own business in the meeting. He rummaged through the chief's office.

The pioneer found a family photo and a document on 'Holy Blood'.

He thought the document might be useful, so he folded it and put it in his pocket. There was a girl who looked like Ella in the photo. It's very similar. He has to go back and ask about this.

The pioneer searched for a long time, but he didn't find anything interesting. He already wanted to go home.

"old timer, i……"

The pioneer waved to the old man, and just as he was about to say goodbye, he suddenly heard a faint prayer.

The sound was really small, so small that the sound of breathing could easily cover it.

The pioneers held their breath and patiently captured the tiny sound waves among the various noises.

"I heard it, it came from underground!"

The pioneers deduced the source of the sound, which turned out to be coming from the underground corpse pile they had just left.

"Black is resurrected?"

There are not many people that the pioneers can think of in their prayers, and the only one who can pray among the underground corpses is Blake.

Now the old man is still immersed in memories, and he can't help but the pioneers themselves. Went to check.

So, with an uneasy mood, the pioneers returned to the underground corpse pile.

A man in black with a goat skull stood next to Blake's body, with a black flame burning in his hand.

"who are you?"

The pioneer drew his weapon, but almost instantly, his waist was pressed against something.

"Don't move, otherwise Titi will cut you off."

A relatively immature girl's voice sounded from behind.

"Um? It's really interesting, you exceeded my expectations."

The man in black turned around and looked at him with dark eye holes, as if he was surprised by the arrival of the pioneers.

"This country has fallen under the thirst for power, and the god in the form of the red moon will eventually come."

The man in black walked towards him slowly, saying words of unknown meaning.

"Who are you?"

The pioneer asked the other party while trying to get his back away from the threat.

"Sir, he moves too much, can Titi cut off his legs?"

The cold blade touched his skin, and the threater behind him seemed to be impatient.

"impossible."

The man in black refused.

"Why is this so, okay then."

The cold touch disappeared, and something was pressed against my back. It should be the handle of the knife.

"Now that you have found this place, let me give you a tip."

The man in black raised his arm and pointed at Blake's body with withered yellow fingers.

"Eat its eyes so you can resist them."

As he said that, the man in black grabbed the pioneer's hand and pulled him to the body.

Looking at the cloudy eyes on one side of Black's face, the pioneer felt a little nauseous.

"Why are you still standing there? Sir, I want you to eat it."

The blade touched the back of his neck this time. Perhaps it was because the man in black didn't say anything to stop him this time. The threatener even rubbed the back of the knife against his skin.

"Life is important, Ella is still waiting for me."

The pioneer narrowed his eyes, held his breath and dug out Blake's eyeballs with his hands.

Looking at the dilated pupils, he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.

"Eat it. Do you want Titi to help you?"

Without the stop of the man in black, the threatening person went even further. The back of his head seemed to have been stepped on, and his lips were already touching the surface of his eyeballs.

"Forget it, just eat!"

The pioneer was so upset that he opened his mouth and ate the eyeballs. He swallowed the eyeballs without even chewing them.

"Have you eaten it?"

The threatener grabbed his hair again and asked him to raise his head.

"Very good, I have other things, I hope you can achieve your wishes, human being."

The man in black rolled his eyelids, and then disappeared into the black flames, and the touch of his hair also disappeared.

"Let's go to the clinic for a checkup soon."

The pioneer swallowed several times in succession to make sure there was no peculiar smell in his mouth.

After that, the pioneer said goodbye to the old man, left the cathedral district through the newly discovered path and stopped by the clinic.

In the clinic, he saw The picture shows a female doctor who was frozen in a strange posture on the hospital bed.

The female doctor’s limbs were twisted together and she was mumbling indistinctly.

The pioneer felt disgusted by this, and after finding the pills in the female doctor’s pocket, he Leaving in a hurry.

Without taking any rest, Pioneer returned to the workshop non-stop after leaving the clinic.

Under the guidance of Miss Ella, he found Ms. Ella in the basement.

The truth was revealed through Pioneer's mouth It was revealed that it was almost completely consistent with Ella’s guess.

The pioneers learned Ms. Ella’s true identity and told her about the man in black.

It was just like what was written in the diary left by her father:

——The mysterious man in black robe brings divine revelation

"All this comes from the moon god, from the damn red moon!"

Ella suppressed her anger, gritted her teeth and stared at the place where the moon belonged.

"Can you also see the red moon?"

The pioneer asked with some surprise.

"Yes, I can see it all the time…

Ella lowered her head and repeated the contents of her father's diary:

——He has cursed my family, it is so abominable, and now I have to take communion to enter His presence

"I'm going to the cathedral. There must be something else my father wants to tell me. There must be something else hidden under the cathedral!"

Ella suddenly became excited and immediately switched to wheelchair form and walked towards the exit.

"Wait for me."

The pioneers didn't ask any questions and hurriedly followed Ella.

They found a downward cave in the prayer room of the cathedral, and Ella's father's diary only recorded this.

Going down to the cave Inside, there was a very spacious space, with many six-legged monster corpses prostrate and worshiping on the floor.

There, they found Arthur, the president of the Holy Church, who had turned into a monster.

Although they had had a premonition, their father's sudden change It still caused a big blow to Ella, who was her only family.

Facing Ella who was almost desperate, the pioneer said these words:

"And me, I will always be by your side, like...family"

"oh? What's going on in your head, pioneer."

Ella was amused when she heard this, but she smiled and her tears fell down uncontrollably.

"Are you... fantasizing about... saving a cursed girl?"

With a crying voice, she still did not forget to say teasing words, but after saying that, Ella buried her head on the pioneer's body and sobbed silently. Her mother left her, and now her father is no longer with her, leaving only She was left alone.

After the sad atmosphere lasted for a while, Ella came back to her senses, because the pioneer's shirt was soaked through.

"Forget what happened, pioneer."

Ella coldly dropped a word and slid her wheelchair to investigate this space.

"Good...good..."

The pioneer twisted the soaked piece of cloth and agreed helplessly.

Ella found the Holy Grail for the Holy Communion at the end, and the materials inside were roughly ready.

But according to the murals behind the altar, , there is still one missing material, the Holy Grail only contains blood, eyes and internal organs.

"There is one more thing missing, but what is it?"

Ella looked at the kneeling figure on the last mural and pondered.

There were many claw marks on the stone surface of the altar, but most of them were smaller and bloody marks.

"My father was going crazy. What kind of material could be so hard to find?"

Look carefully at the little man on the mural. He is kneeling on the ground devoutly. There is a clay pot in front of him. A dot is dotted on the side of his head close to the pot.

"Is it tears?"

The approaching pioneers guessed

"Tears? But if it's tears, my father shouldn't find it difficult."

Ella said in confusion, but suddenly, she seemed to think of something.

The president of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic once said the word Familia. The Familia is considered to be a race that serves the gods.

If the four-armed monster belongs to the moon god, Familia, those tears belong to the Familia

"I see, that's why my father is going crazy, because if he wants to get the tears of his family, he must mutate."

"After the change, he will not be able to perform the Holy Communion ceremony normally."

"Hahaha...that damn god!"

Ella, suddenly enlightened, burst into laughter that was close to collapse. She couldn't help but feel frightened by the cunningness of the Moon God.

"Pioneers, go ahead and get the tears of your dependents."

Ella used the mechanical arm to hand the Holy Grail into the hands of the pioneers.

"You mean your...father?"

The pioneer pointed at the huge sleeping monster lying on the ground.

"Yes, this is the only thing left and we are almost at the end."

Looking at Ella's expectant eyes, the pioneer swallowed in horror and carefully took the Holy Grail.

The monster's eyes were really difficult to find. The pioneer only received a few strands of crystal clear eyes from two gaps. Liquid.

Leaving the monster quietly, the pioneer put the Holy Grail back on the altar.

Ella controlled the mechanical arm and used the stone pestle to mash the materials and stir them together thoroughly.

The fishy smell made the two of them choke, Ella He even put on the gas mask that comes with the wheelchair

"Okay, drink it, so you can enter the plane of the god."

Ella raised the Holy Grail to the pioneers

"You...won't you come with me?"

The pioneer pinched his nose in disgust and didn't even dare to open his mouth.

"I'll drink later, you first!"

The Holy Grail was raised to the mouth of the pioneer this time. To be honest, the smell was so fuming that I couldn't even open my eyes.

"Let’s fight!"

The pioneer gritted his teeth and took a big sip under Ella's shocked expression.

The bitter and slightly sweet taste spread in his mouth, the liquid slid down his esophagus, and his stomach seemed to be burning.

The body seemed to be turned upside down, the annoying murmurs became louder, and countless moans and screams echoed in his ears. Suddenly

, he heard a sharp voice chanting a prayer:

——Oh, Cyclops! Oh, Cyclops! Please let this poor bug go, hahahaha...
