Soul echo

Chapter 231 Chasing and Killing

In the second mansion, Zhong Ye also killed the seemingly innocent butler and noble heir, the child was only 14 years old, just because of the identification of [Detect Evil], there was a little red light on his body ...

Pastor Candida frowned. She even suspected that Zhong Ye would have killed the child even if there was no 【Detect Evil】.

Looking at Zhong Ye, Pastor Candida couldn't help being suspicious.

Is this adventurer... really the rumored hero who saved several cities?

Although he does look like an Eastern native, tall, handsome, and powerful as rumored, his acting style does not look like a 'hero'.

But these thoughts only lasted until the third mansion...

Pastor Candida carried the 'icon' with her, only in this way would she have enough strength to screen the nobles in the entire town - the 'icon' of the Dimother Church is actually a handful of fresh soil, as long as it is packed Put it in a bag and take it anywhere.

The servants and nobles in the third mansion hid in the room and refused to come out, so Priest Candida simply let [Detect Evil] cover most of the mansion, and the light of divine power penetrated the wall and shone into the room.

Under the leadership of Zhong Ye, a group of soldiers entered the mansion and searched for the living one by one.

But what puzzled them was that there seemed to be no living people in this house, and no one was hiding in every room they opened.

Suddenly, Zhong Ye stopped and looked up to the second floor.

His movement attracted people's attention, and the soldiers holding the torches also raised the torches, letting the light radiate to the second floor.

When people moved their eyes to the second floor, they suddenly saw a hideous and terrifying face, and they were startled immediately, and their heart stopped suddenly.

The grinning, ferocious-looking man was on all fours, lying on the edge of the stairs, beside him, there were several people in the same posture...

Zhong Ye's eyes narrowed, and he shouted, "Hit!"

The soldiers didn't move, they turned their heads to look at their superiors, and at the moment they hesitated, those 'people' with distorted appearances jumped down from upstairs.

"what!!!"

Those guys screamed and jumped down, Zhong Ye snorted coldly, pulled out his big sword, cut several of them in half, and threw the rest on the soldiers, biting and scratching with his hands!
"Ah!" The soldiers who were thrown to the ground screamed, and the guy who jumped on them seemed to be desperate and crazy.

The eyes of the other soldiers turned red, and they raised their feet and kicked the 'lunatics' who were emitting gray light, but their attacks were not strong enough or deadly enough to save their companions from these guys.

A soldier holding a torch was also thrown down, but he was holding the torch tightly in his hand. When the man who threw himself on him was about to attack, he started his heart, shouted, and stabbed the torch into the ground. madman' mouth.

Zhong Ye swung his big sword and killed all the 'lunatics'. However, among those soldiers who were thrown down, several of them had been bitten to the throat, and they were about to die.

The violent movement made people gather in the hall. Priest Candida, who was acting separately from Zhong Ye, saw the soldiers clutching their necks but couldn't stop the bleeding. He was taken aback for a moment, and then ran to them and healed them with magic. .

"This is the consequence of disobeying orders!"

Zhong Ye shouldered the big sword and looked coldly at the soldiers lying on the ground, "If you obey my orders, there will be no casualties that shouldn't have happened!"

Even if the injuries were recovered through divine magic, several soldiers were seriously injured and it was difficult to continue fighting—their newly grown trachea could not even support them to breathe heavily!
Hearing this, the other soldiers silently clenched their muskets tightly, their brows were filled with grief and a little happiness.

Fortunately, because he did not obey the command, he was not the one who almost died...

After the treatment, Pastor Candida looked at the corpses around him, his eyes slowly widened, "This, these are cultists?"

"They're not!" Zhong Ye snorted coldly, then turned and stepped up the stairs, "They're just poor people who were harmed by cultists!"

Lilian and Purcell followed, and several officers discussed and arranged for a few soldiers to stay behind, while the others followed Zhong Ye with them.

Although their companions did not die, this revenge must be avenged!
Pastor Candida had a complicated look on his face. He stood there in silence for a moment, then sighed, and walked up to the second floor.

After reaching the second floor, the breath of living people suddenly increased.

Zhong Ye carried the big sword and strode forward towards the end of the corridor, and at the same time issued an order: "Kick open the door of every room you see, and shoot every living creature hiding inside!"

Hearing this order, everyone felt their scalps go numb.

Another way of saying this order is 'slaughter'!
"Your Excellency Zhong Ye, what are you going to do?!" Pastor Candida couldn't bear the anger even more, ran to Zhong Ye's side, and asked sharply.

"Ms. Candida, have you ever seen the cultists? Have you ever fought them?" Zhong Ye glanced at her lightly, "I have not only seen them, but I have also fought them! Do you know why we must kill the cultists?" Christian?"

Zhong Ye's rhetorical question blocked what Pastor Candida wanted to say.

She has never seen cultists, nor has she ever fought against cultists. She doesn't understand this group, at most she knows that they 'believe in evil gods'... that's all.

"The day a cultist becomes a cultist, they are no longer human!"

Zhong Ye kicked open the door of the room at the end of the corridor. In this room, Pastor Candida saw a pair of trembling siblings hugging each other.

The older sister was looking at the gate, and the younger brother was huddled in her arms. When she heard footsteps stop in front of the gate and saw the gate being kicked open, she couldn't help showing despair and crying silently.

boom! boom! boom!
One after another gunshots rang out in other rooms, mixed with screams like monsters and the exclamation and shouts of soldiers.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhong Ye kicked open the door and walked straight towards the pair of siblings.

There is a red light on their bodies, but the degree is not deep...

—Stop, stop!
Pastor Candida stood at the door dully. Seeing Zhong Ye approaching the pair of siblings, he wanted to stop him, but his tongue was dry.

——Don't continue, they are just a pair of ordinary siblings!

The big sword was raised and suddenly fell!

"Do not--"

Pastor Candida's eyes widened, and just as he raised his hand, he saw that the faces of the siblings suddenly became distorted and hideous. They both turned their heads to look at Zhong Ye, screaming.

what! ! !
The sound wave failed to stop the sword from falling, and the elder sister threw the younger brother out to block the sword, while she threw herself to the side.

The newly mutated body was cut in half by the moonlight, but the cultist hadn't died yet, the broken body was still struggling on the ground, screaming and crying.

Zhong Ye directly passed the cult member who was doomed to die, and walked towards 'sister'.

Her transformation was more complete than that of her younger brother. Not only did her ten fingers turn into sharp claws, but a long and slender tail grew out of her tailbone.

The big sword was swung, and a strong wind blew in the room, but in the blink of an eye, the sword edge appeared beside my sister.

It's a pity that she reacted very quickly and jumped up when Zhong Ye swung his sword.

But she didn't expect that Zhong Ye's left hand reached out while her body was still in midair, grabbed her by the neck, and threw her into the wall.

Fearing that she would not die, Zhong Ye threw another punch, smashing that beautiful head to pieces.

"Cultists are such a thing——" Zhong Ye walked past Pastor Candida coldly, "The servants in this mansion have been destroyed by them into 'lunatics', and they are hopeless. After their death , Those guys are the new source of infection, so no living things can be left in this mansion!"

Pastor Candida's dull eyes followed Zhong Ye's figure, she was a little hard to imagine - have Zhong Ye and his colleagues in other regions been fighting this kind of thing all the time?

After cleaning up this mansion, Zhong Ye led the team to the next mansion without stopping.

Priest Candida stopped expressing his opinions and silently cast [Detect Evil] one after another.

This operation lasted from midnight to dawn, most of the soldiers were unable to continue their operations, but Zhong Ye was still full of energy.

After looking at Zhong Ye wearily, Pastor Candida couldn't help but look back at the residential area.

This night, blood flowed like a river...
