demon godfather

He stepped between Chris and the glass container, opening his arms as if to protect the pale maiden in the container.

"You are really crazy!" Dominic yelled, "You killed so many people and turned them into zombies, and now you are talking about this?!"

"So what?" Lazarus's face was like an exquisitely carved sculpture, beautiful but without any emotion. "What does the life and death of those people have to do with me? In this world, except for the pale daughter, who else is like me?" What does it matter? I just need to serve her."

"Where are your brothers and sisters? Where's your family?"

Lazarus looked at Dominic with a terrified look, reminiscent of lightning flashing across the sky on a summer thunderstorm night. "They're Jared's family, not mine!"

"You are Jared!"

"Jared is dead! I'm just a shell shaped by human delusions! I have nothing, I am nothing, the only purpose of my existence is to fulfill the pale daughter's wish, and her wish is everything to me! "

Lazarus' fingers curled like eagle's talons, ready to attack them.

"Get out of the way!"

There was a loud shout from behind.

Dominic didn't react, and stood there in a daze, but Chris threw himself on him.The barn door slammed open, and Dominique felt something scurrying over them like a tern breaking through a storm.He opened his eyes wide and looked at Lazarus, but all the moving pictures disappeared in an instant, and he could only see a still picture——

Lazarus was still standing in front of the glass container, a saber pierced his body, and he stared at the person holding the knife in disbelief, because that person should have been dead, killed by him himself, even the one who turned into a zombie There is no possibility, how could it appear in...

"You... are not dead...?"

"I won't die until you die."

Belen said.

"God! Belen! You're still alive!" Dominique exclaimed in surprise.

Beren turned the handle of the knife, and the saber turned in Lazarus' abdomen. If it was a human being, the internal organs should have been crushed.

Yet Lazarus did not shed a drop of blood.He is not human, and there is no blood in his body.From his wound came something dusty, like specks of dust falling from a roof during an earthquake.

"In a world far away, in a world of fire and brimstone..." he murmured, "under the bones of a giant dragon..."

His figure suddenly collapsed, like a sand sculpture turning back into sand, everything about him was collapsing, shattering, turning into dust, and the dust melted in the transparent air.Not long after, Lazarus had disappeared, leaving a pile of clothes on the ground.

Beren lowered his saber, pointing the tip at the ground.

"Belen!" Dominic pushed Chris away and rushed towards Belen, trying to give him a hug, but when he got close, he stopped again.

"Well, Beren, didn't you die? I saw it with my own eyes, you were headshot by Lazarus. Could it be...you..." His eyes hesitated and dodged, "turned into a zombie?"

"Are you really my master! I am a hellhound, I have three heads!"

"Really! As the myth says, if one head is cut off, two will grow back?" Dominic patted Belen's head in relief, "Then don't you have four heads now?"

"Nothing like that!"

As they engage in this wise conversation, Chris picks up the pile of laundry at Beren's feet.I can't believe it, just now Lazarus was still standing here, and the next second he collapsed and disappeared.is he deadNo, it is not appropriate to say "dead". He is a dead person himself, and a dead person will not die again, so he just "disappears", does not exist in this world, and does not exist anywhere.

Something shattered.

click-

The sound of glass breaking.

A spider web-shaped crack appeared on the surface of the pale girl's glass container, like the special pattern caused by bullets hitting bulletproof glass.The crack was only as big as a palm at first, but gradually spread with the continuous "click" sound, and jumped across the entire surface of the glass container like a snake. Soon, the smooth mirror-like surface was covered with criss-cross cracks.

"Ah! Pale daughter! This moment has finally come—" Dr. Hill knelt down on his knees excitedly, "You are awake! You are back! You are free!" He prostrated himself on the ground, worshiping his pale body devoutly goddess.

"not good!"

Chris pulled Dominic back, and Belen held the general knife across his chest, as if expecting this weapon to resist the might of the Apocalypse Knight.

boom -

The glass container was completely shattered, splashing glass shards mixed with viscous liquid, reminiscent of a broken fish tank, but what slowly emerged from the damaged container with suspicious liquid was not dragging a beautiful fish tail. A goldfish, but a girl with white hair and fair skin.

"Plague Knight!" Chris whispered.

The girl twisted her hair hanging on her shoulders, "I haven't heard this name for a long time. They always call 'Pale Girl', 'Pale Girl', as if this is my real name."

Dominic and Chris retreated to the edge of the barn, ready to flee at any time, but facing the Apocalypse Knight, it is still unknown whether they can successfully escape.Beren was also constantly retreating, and the hand holding the knife trembled slightly.

"De-Death Knight sent us to this small, small, small town..." Dominique stammered, almost biting his own tongue, "We want us to stop you..."

"Oh." The girl turned her face that was as pale as a plaster cast to Dominic, "It's just as it should be. We have agreed that we can move freely in the world, but we can't desecrate each other's domain no matter what. She is Do you think the Lazarus virus profanes the sacred death by awakening the dead?"

Dominic was speechless. He felt he should say "Yes, that's it," but he couldn't.

"However, it can't be all my fault." The girl spoke in a rhythm like reciting poetry, slowly and with ups and downs, "I am also a victim, locked in that glass coffin, and I can only let human beings do this kind of blasphemy. Experiment. The birth of Lazarus is beyond my control. It is a good thing that he returns to ashes and ashes to ashes now."

Chris muttered something in a low voice, and the girl raised her eyebrows: "What did you say?"

"You said that his...death...was a good thing?" Chris's face was livid, "He has dedicated everything...for you from the beginning to the end, but you actually said that his death...is a good thing?"

"Because this is all he pursues. He was born out of human madness, and his birth profaned the sacred death. His existence is a distortion of the constant truth in the world. There is no other way to restore everything except to eliminate himself. He was born from the meaningless nothingness, and finally returned to the meaningless nothingness of nothingness. This is his true destination and the direction of his heart. Originally, after I regained my freedom, I also wanted to destroy him. Now I don’t need to I'll save trouble by doing it."

Dominic hugged Chris' waist tightly to prevent him from rushing up to fight the Plague Knight.

"As for the zombies infected by the Lazarus virus, I also let them return to dust." The girl raised her slender wrist and swept around her body, "I originally created them as a barrier to protect me, but now I don't need them." gone."

Barefoot, she stepped through the liquid and glass all over the floor, and walked towards Dominique and the others.

"What do you want!" Beren warned.

"Of course I leave. Continue my roaming. Wherever I stopped, I started again."

"Are you going to Africa?" Dominic gasped, "No! You must not be allowed to leave! You carry so many viruses on your body, who knows how many people you will infect! If you are asked to go all the way to Africa, how can you Isn't half of the world's people going to die?"

"Don't you think what you said is illogical? I have lived in this world for an unimaginably long time, but the human race has not been completely extinct until today. Doesn't this explain anything?"

"...What?" Dominic humbly asked for advice, and asked without shame.

"The power of the Apocalypse Knight only acts on others and affects them. The War Knight will not start a war, but the humans around her are always more fierce and aggressive. The Death Knight will not directly kill people, but the death events around her are always So do I. I do have a lot of viruses in my body, but they can't infect others unless someone deliberately takes them out of me. It's just that around me, humans are more likely to get diseases, and the viruses in the human body will be more active, mutate faster and more horribly, and those who are infected will die more easily. I just stimulate the power of those latent diseases, not spread them."

"Ah? Is that so?" After the Plague Knight explained, Dominic became confused.What she said seemed to make sense. Didn't Helen often say that she never started a war, and that the fire of war was always ignited by humans themselves?

"Besides, do you think you can stop me with a mortal sword?"

The Plague Knight walked gracefully in front of Beren, clamped his blade with two fingers, and gently pushed it aside, as gently as a lady pushing away a bunch of drooping flower branches.Beren showed an expression of being pierced by thousands of arrows, and retreated in horror.

"Plague Knight!" Dr. Hill climbed up behind her with hands and feet, trying to hug her thigh, but he didn't dare to do so, he could only look at her tremblingly and in awe. "I have been loyal to you, you know! Please take me with you! I can serve you better!"

"Stay here, Rodriguez." The Plague Knight said calmly, "Humanity's mistakes will eventually be repaid by humans themselves."

"They won't let me go!" sobbed Dr. Hill. "Miss Morrison will kill me! Oh, she will!"

"She won't. I know. There is a familiar force working on her body, which is not her original will, and all of you are like this. What a wonderful karma."

"But I want to follow you! This world is meaningless to me!"

"What if this is my order?" The Plague Knight looked down at him.

Dr. Hill looked at her blankly.

"I order you to stay, live like all other humans, and die. Maybe someday we will meet again."

Dr. Hill curled up on the ground, shrugging his shoulders.Dominic couldn't imagine that this person twice his age would cry like a child.

"Yes, great lady!"

The Plague Knight stepped out of the barn gate and entered the vast white mist outside. Soon, her figure was swallowed up by the mist.Dominique vaguely heard a horse neighing, and then, the white mist dissipated, like dewdrops on the grass and trees disappearing into the dawn light.

The blockade of Haitong Town has been lifted.
