Soul echo

Chapter 384 Beheading
"First of all, this person needs to have a certain status, otherwise, he can't control so many people staying around Constantia."

As the distance from those ships got closer and closer, Zhong Ye summed up several characteristics of the target.

"On top of that, he also needs to have a decent amount of cachet so that he can use 'leading by example' as an excuse to get people to stop by."

When the people on the boat saw Zhong Ye and the others swam back in a small boat, they couldn't help being surprised, and asked loudly, "Why are you back again?"

Hearing this voice, other people came out of the boat and shouted loudly: "Go back quickly! Go away! Don't come here!"

"What are you doing back here? Run away!"

"Could it be that the plague broke out in Kreuzlingen?"

There were different opinions, and panic and anxiety gradually spread.

Under such circumstances, Zhong Ye did not answer, but continued to calmly talk: "In the end, that person's identity is not a disguise, otherwise someone will always be able to see his flaws - even civilians, at this time , will also contradict the nobles for his own survival, as long as he reveals the slightest flaw, he will definitely be pointed out by others."

That being the case, the identity of that person is already very clear!

Lily took Zhong Ye's lead and said, "He can't be a priest, because the gods can monitor his beliefs at all times, and once the beliefs have deteriorated, the gods will immediately notice."

"So, the person we are looking for...is that noble young man we met before?" Lilian asked in a deep voice, frowning slightly.

Hearing people's shouts, the noble youth also came out of the cabin.

Seeing Zhong Ye and the others come back by boat, the noble youth frowned slightly.

"Is something wrong?" he asked distantly.

Zhong Ye took a deep breath and stood up, "There is indeed something wrong!"

Zhong Ye's answer caused an uproar. People asked what went wrong, and even the noble youth frowned tightly.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhong Ye stepped on the void and walked step by step to the ship where the noble youth was.

"What happened?" the noble youth asked seriously.

"I just suddenly noticed something—"

Zhong Ye lowered his head and stared at the noble youth, "The mastermind behind the spread of the plague may still be staying in Constantia and has not left."

The noble young man was shocked, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who is that guy?!"

"you!"

This sentence shocked the people who followed the noble young man out of the cabin, they couldn't help turning their eyes to the noble young man, trying to find out something suspicious about him.

"Me?" The noble young man blinked and laughed out of breath, "How could I be the mastermind behind the spread of the plague? Are you joking?"

"After thinking about it, you are the biggest suspect."

Zhong Ye held down the handle of the straight knife, and looked at the noble young man.

"Can I ask, how did he come here with you?"

The question caught people off guard, and they looked at each other, each wanting an answer from the other.

"...How many priests did Lord Neil board the ship with?" The person who answered was not sure whether the answer was correct, so he used interrogative sentences.

"Yes, he was on board with us."

The pastor also got out of the cabin, and nodded to Zhong Ye.

"Then why is he with you?" Zhong Ye asked again.

"Because..." Mentioning this, the pastor frowned, and turned to look at the noble young man, "Master Neil, why did you go to that farm?"

The noble young man's face was livid, and he snorted coldly: "...for a tryst with Winnie! As a result, you also know that because of the plague in that farm, everyone in the farm was taken in by you, and Winnie and I naturally couldn't escape. If it weren't for you, Winnie and I wouldn't have been kicked out by my father!"

"But isn't Miss Winnie Lord Neil's younger sister..." As he spoke, the voice of the person who spoke became smaller and smaller.

Everyone realized what was going on, and there was something indescribable in the eyes of the noble youth.

Aware of those needle-like gazes, the face of the noble youth became even uglier.

But at this moment, Zhong Ye seemed to realize something, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and drew his knife out of its sheath!

A sharp knife light pierced the air, and at the same time cut off the head of the noble young man.

The head flew into the air, but the expression on his face changed.

"It's a pity that you found out."

It took only a second to change from anger to laughter.

Before the people screamed, they saw the headless corpse raised its arms, grabbed the head that fell from the air, and pressed it on the neck. Granules grew from the fracture and quickly healed.

"Uh……"

The scream came to his mouth, and for some reason it turned into a cry of pain.

Everyone except the priest widened their eyes and covered their necks.

The severe pain even blocked their throats, making them unable to speak.

The lacrimal glands were stimulated, tears quickly filled the eye sockets, and then rolled down the cheeks.

The pastor watched this scene in shock and wanted to make a sound, but at this moment a large number of viruses broke through his immune system and invaded all parts of his body at the same time.

"You..." The pastor's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and what shocked him even more was that the muscles on Zhong Ye's face also twitched.

Zhong Ye could feel that the muscles all over his body tensed up in an instant, almost strangling himself.

However, the immune system that had been ravaged several times was completely remodeled in the next moment, remembering the virus released by the noble youth.

The body of the noble youth swelled up, and the skin grew along with the swelling of the muscles, wrapping the muscles and bones under the skin.

In just an instant, he changed from a handsome and strong young man into a huge monster with swollen and pustules all over his body.

"Eternity is bone, immortality is blood, self-existing and eternal, praise the loving father!"

With the roar of stench and virus rushing towards his face, Zhong Ye pressed his lips tightly and pulled out his long knife brazenly.

The boat under his feet sank suddenly, and in the violent shaking, the long knife split half of the monster's body, and then it was stuck inside.

Bones and muscles clamped the blade of the long knife, the monster grinned ferociously, swung its long and thick right hand, and grabbed Zhong Ye.

At this moment, an electric attack from the lake surface came, nailing into the side of the monster, and the blazing glue hanging on the front of the arrow burst into violent flames.

The sudden light and heat even pushed the monster's huge body, causing the ship to shake.

The waves on the lake were choppy, and Lilian couldn't bear it anymore, so she sat back on the boat.

However, on this swaying ship board, Zhong Ye was walking on the ground, controlling his body with a strong will, and the flowing breath gathered the strength of his limbs and bones, causing the long knife to exert force again, tearing open the monster's flesh body.

"I feel bad about it."

The monster looked down at his body, and found that the torn wound could not heal at all.

It slapped the board angrily and stood up.

Dirty yellow-green gas was released as it got up, and the gas instantly filled the ship's deck and overflowed from the side of the ship.

Zhong Ye's face became ugly, "Lilian, run!"

Without his order, Lilian and the others didn't plan to stay in this area any longer.

Lily and Lilian hurriedly swung the oars to stay away from the ship where the monster and Zhong Ye were. Several ships around also wanted to escape, but the huge hull made it difficult to turn and start.

After the monster stood up, organs leaked from the huge gash across the body.

It saw Zhong Ye raised his left arm, and slashed out with a straight knife.

The blade directly broke through its head, and a powerful force overflowed from the blade.

Only then did it understand why its wounds could not be healed!

The eyeballs on both sides separated by the blade turned and looked at the man in front of him, intending to engrave his face into memory.

"legend……"

Zhong Ye exerted force with both arms at the same time, and the monster's body was divided into three pieces, which were scattered on the board of the ship, still wriggling.

"I will not...die...be blessed by my loving father..."

When the light of the knife fell, the scattered bodies were chopped into more fragments. Zhong Ye didn't stop until the monster could no longer utter a single syllable.

He stood up straight and looked around blankly.

The dead boat floated quietly on the lake, and everyone on board collapsed, life and death unknown.
