Escape from the world [Cthulhu]

As soon as Mrs. Shelley finished speaking, several tentacles climbed up from all directions of the altar and attacked the investigators.

Before He Ying could react, An Xian stuffed a Leonard in her arms, and then the two people who had no combat power watched the other people skillfully shoot those tentacles with their guns.

He Ying thought for a while, and felt that she was safe with them, so she walked towards Mrs. Shelley.

Mrs. Shelley looked at him with a gentle expression: "Young man, you are really brave."

"No, I just think that with my ability, it's useless to be on guard." He Ying said honestly, "I just want to chat with Madam, why did you do this, even sacrificing your own granddaughter."

"You are an interesting child," Mrs. Shelley smiled. "It may be that you are old, or you have nothing to regret or fear. Since you want to know, then I will tell you—the real secret."

An Xian successfully knocked out one of the tentacles, and Lange was whipped by the tentacle. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and was not caught.

"Why did I do this? It's because it's the will of the gods." Mrs. Shelley gently stroked Alicia's hair, "I know how you outsiders see us, closed, backward, uncivilized... ...But we have the favor of the gods, so we have been able to reproduce from generation to generation, and have never encountered any major crises."

"Our God blesses us with enough food, clothing and warmth, and not to be troubled by diseases. The only price is that when a family naturally gives birth to three girls, it is necessary to hold a divine descent, to descend the will of the gods on this land, The one chosen among the three sisters is the new incarnation of the god—for example, Yossi." Mrs. Shelley looked at the waving tentacles tenderly, "When Alicia was born, I knew it was time to ask Our god has come."

An Xian dodged the tentacle's blow, Yan An raised his hand and broke the tentacle.

Chu Lishu snatched Lange from the tentacles, and was hit hard. It is estimated that his arm was not broken or fractured.

Leonard was lying in He Ying's arms, looking at An Xian, wishing he could rush up to help.

He Ying didn't even turn her head: "Then it's a very honorable thing for you to become the new incarnation of gods, why do you still want to do this?"

"Because no one knows that the price of the coming of the gods is so high." Mrs. Shelley smiled wryly. "We thought that only one child would be sacrificed, but the gods asked for more than we expected. Nina's ending was too much." Unfortunately, Alicia has become like this, and Yossi will be trapped here until the next victim appears..."

He Ying looked at one of the three sisters among the tourists—she seemed to be called Lorraine: "So you asked Croft to find you a new victim, what about the others? Where did they go?"

"As I said, the gods asked for more than we expected," Mrs. Shelley looked at the altar under her feet. "I want my children to be free, so I have to pay other prices... Those tourists are one of the prices." one."

An Xian and Yan An cooperated tacitly, and at this moment they disabled two more tentacles.

Lange was accidentally rolled up by the tentacles again.

After Chu Lishu was injured, her strength and agility dropped drastically. There was no way to grab Lange again, so she could only hide and shoot from a distance.

Mrs. Shelley's expression became more and more fatigued. He Ying guessed that it should be related to those tentacles. She might have paid some price in exchange for the right to control the tentacles: "Don't you think about leaving here? Even if you go to the island Live on the other side, or leave here entirely by ship."

Mrs. Shelley coughed twice: "Do you know what our god is? He is not an illusory existence."

"He is the island itself."

"As long as we don't get what we promised, He will follow us until our hearts are satisfied."

The last tentacle was wiped out, and Lange fell from the altar, his life and death unknown.

Yan An was treating Chu Lishu's wound impatiently, while An Xian rushed over to check Leonard's condition.

He Ying returned Leonard to An Xian, and took two steps closer: "Have you been liberated now?"

Mrs. Shelley's complexion was pale, and Alicia's support kept her from falling down: "I will soon be freed. Without me, the ceremony cannot be carried out... You will also be freed from here."

Alicia looked up at Mrs. Shelley ignorantly: "Grandma, what's the matter with you?"

Mrs. Shelley touched her granddaughter's face: "Grandma is going to accompany Nina."

"Milk……"

With a "bang", a blood hole appeared on Alicia's forehead.

He Ying turned her head in disbelief, behind her was the priest Shu Ning who sneaked up to the altar at some time, holding a gun, there was no doubt that he was the one who fired the shot just now.

Two lines of tears flowed from Mrs. Shelley's eyes: "Alicia..."

"Bang", there was another sound, and the grandparent and grandson fell down while maintaining the posture of embracing each other.

And the altar under their feet was completely quiet.

"Why do you do this?" He Ying turned to look at Shu Ning, "They won't live long anymore."

"You can't give the evil a chance to breathe." Shu Ning put down his gun, his tone was flat, "So many innocent people died because of their selfish desires. Even if they have their own reasons, they can't cover up their selfishness and greed. Don't you Because the evil will be shaken by a few words, and it will be punished if it does something wrong."

"It's really touching justice." Yan'an said with sarcasm, "Then, when we were fighting, where were you, Father Justice?"

"When I arrived, Mr. Lange had already fallen off the altar." Shu Ning made a cross on his chest, "I don't have the skills to save him, so I can only watch him leave helplessly, and then come up in time to punish him." evil."

"They are hateful, but it doesn't mean you are right." Yan An couldn't understand Shu Ning's attitude, "You are not a victim, so there is no need to judge anything from the standpoint of justice and morality. They are for selfish desires Killing, you kill for your own ideas, in essence, there is no difference between you, you may even kill more than them."

"There are always people who want to carry their sins to carry out justice." Shu Ning said one last sentence, then stopped talking, turned and left the altar.

Yan An looked at his back with serious eyes: "Hypocrisy."

He Ying scratched her head, feeling that she understood something, but didn't seem to understand anything, so she stopped thinking about it and went to see Chu Lishu's injury.

The author has something to say: Happy New Year (づ￣3￣)づ╭?～

Thank you Huai Xu XV for mine

In order to avoid misunderstanding, I think it is necessary to explain that I have no religious beliefs, and I respect all religious beliefs that lead people to be good. or judge

Shu Ning is not a hypocrite. His setting is a person who is really willing to bear the sins to execute justice. He is a very, very pious and strong-willed person. I originally set his will to 65, but after thinking about it, I changed it to 85=-=

Yan An is a kind of person...he is not a good person at all. He is selfish, indifferent, has no love for the world, and only cares about his object. It is two extremes with a self-sacrificing person like Shu Ning. Unaccustomed to Shu Ning

As for He Ying, he is just a little brainy and extremely soft-hearted and unsteady.
