Being too ferocious because of caution

Chapter 564 "Disease" holds the knife

"Sacrifice torture instruments?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"A long time ago, this Marquis has done enough homework. Sacrifice of torture instruments cannot be blessed."

Ke Laibin's tone was slightly sullen.

Zhao Yi said unhurriedly:

"Yes, facing such a cautious Marquis, how could the church not make some preparations in advance?"

"I visited your study and found the secret compartment. Inside, I saw the book given to you by the church."

"In that book, you sketched a total of one torture instrument and annotated three torture instruments."

"This shows that you have made three torture instruments for yourself."

"And among these three instruments of torture, one has never been blessed."

Ke Laibin fell into silence.

In the darkness, his slightly rapid breathing could be vaguely heard.

Just when Ke Laibin was about to refute, Zhao Yi said again:

"I didn't find what I wanted from your letter and the sage's letter, but after thinking about it, the church should have told you in some way that the divine gift of one of the instruments of torture is the most powerful, but it needs The most severe test... am I right, Marquis?"

"They are dispelling your doubts and giving you psychological preparation in advance."

Ke Laibin's cold voice was filled with more intense sullenness.

"Take your own guesses and run wild here. Are you the 'catastrophe' that the sage calls you?"

Zhao Yi smiled slightly:

"I knew you wouldn't believe it if it was just empty talk."

"But it happened that when I came to visit you at the manor, I met an equally devout believer in the true God."

"He does not have such a powerful vitality as the Marquis, and he has not received the blessings of other torture instruments. Instead, he truly dedicated his life to the true God and used the sacrificial torture instruments."

"If such a devout believer cannot receive the gift of the true God, does it mean that... the church is using the name of the true God to deceive?"

Ke Laibin's heart was in a state of confusion, and he was already talking to himself with a hint of madness:

"One more day...one more day and my cultivation will be completed, and the true God will give me a divine gift!"

"I have done so much, if the true God can see my dedication, He will certainly be able to!!"

"You damn guy... ruined my mind!"

"Deserves to be killed!"

Zhao Daodao:

"Marquis, with your ability, it only takes a moment to kill me. This is not the first time I have seen this instrument of torture. If I hadn't admired your merits in sacrificing your life to catch the witch, I would never have risked my life. Discourage you."

"If you don't believe it, maybe you can see with your own eyes how that devout believer lost his life?"

Ke Laibin's breathing was wild and rapid:

"Where is the believer?"

Zhao Daodao:

"On your estate."

Ke Laibin:

"Ask your friend to bring him to me."

Squeak——

The closed door opened.

The strong light outside made it difficult for the two people who had been in darkness for a long time to open their eyes.

It took a while for Qin Bai to adapt.

He went to the earth and fire room as agreed.

After he left, the bell tower door closed again.

Zhao Yi asked:

"As a believer, I'm afraid I can't convince you."

"Marquis... let's make a bet?"

Clebin's voice sounded in the darkness again, and this time, he seemed a little anxious.

"What bet?"

Zhao Yi:

"Tomorrow is the end of your days of ascetic training, right?"

"Someone from the church should come by then to take you to that holy place."

"And you find a reason to pretend to reject them. For example, you feel that your hard training time is not enough, you have gained some understanding, and you want to work hard for a few more months... and see their reaction."

Ke Laibin thought and remained silent.

And Zhao Yi continued:

"If these people appear happy or respectful, that means they really want to accept you into the church."

“But if they have an anxious look on their face, urging you to go to church, that’s proof that they’re just treating you as a sacrificial offering.”

"And... the sacrificial ceremony is about to begin."

"If my guess is correct, it is false to ask you to practice hard for several months, but the ceremony they prepared to sacrifice is true."

Zhao Yi's words were as sharp as a knife, which made Ke Laibin feel dizzy.

"Anyway, you only have one day. If I lose the bet, you can kill me."

After pondering for a long time, Ke Laibin said sadly:

"Then I'll give you a chance..."

While talking, there was a knock at the door.

Ke Laibin opened the door, and a dying man was dragged in by Qin Bai.

The young man gasped, out of breath.

Ke Laibin closed the door, took the man to the second floor, and carefully examined his body.

"Who are you?"

The man replied mechanically like a puppet:

"A believer in God."

"What god?"

"The god of suffering."

"When were the instruments of torture put on?"

"No... not long ago."

Ke Laibin's eyes were dark.

"Who put it on you?"

The man opened his mouth and laughed for a long time, with saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth. Finally he said with difficulty:

"I...myself."

"I...I am willing...to dedicate all my flesh and blood...to the true God..."

He said these words with all his strength, and the last bit of spirit in his eyes disappeared.

The whole bell tower fell into silence again.

After a long time, Klaibin opened the door:

"You go out first."

The two looked at each other and prepared to leave the bell tower. When they left, Zhao Yi said again:

"By the way, Marquis."

"Someone should come to see you today."

"Although what I said may be a little irritating to you, your manor... has always been under the surveillance of the church."

After saying that, he left with Qin Bai.

After they walked away, the bell tower door behind them was tightly closed.

Qin Bai asked curiously:

"Brother Yizi, how do you know that someone will go to Ke Laibin today?"

Zhao Yi smiled slightly and said:

"Last night, I went to Ke Laibin's study and tampered with the letter inside."

Qin Bai thought for a moment and looked up suddenly:

"You mean... those four trialers!?"

Zhao Yi stretched out his finger and gently tapped his forehead:

"Did you see it?"

"Your brother killed Li Chenglong in this way."

"But at that time, I was the knife."

"And now... I am the knife holder."

PS: Second update.
