“Dong! Dong! Dong!”
The ancient bell sound echoed throughout the entire village.
Immediately after, fire lights lit up all around the outside of the inn.
Henry looked through the window and saw densely packed villagers had already surrounded the inn.
Villagers were constantly dragging soldiers out from the restaurant.
Henry could clearly see that those soldiers were actually still conscious.
They tried to struggle free, but couldn’t exert any strength.
On the contrary, those villagers’ eyes were filled with madness and excitement.
They casually dragged out an unlucky guy, then used steel forks to cruelly pierce through his stomach, and then other people came forward and began dismembering that soldier with meat cleavers.
That soldier didn’t make a sound from beginning to end. Even if it was extremely painful, he could only watch himself die in despair.
Everyone looked at this scene in horror.
Fear continuously spread from their bodies.
Through magic power, Sherisa clearly saw that from those fearful soldiers’ bodies, something was constantly being absorbed by that crimson moon in the sky.
However, Henry only saw these despairing soldiers being cruelly murdered.
He was helpless to do anything about it.
His current responsibility was to protect Sherisa, to let Sherisa live safely — that was the only thing he had to do.
“No, Henry! You have to stop them from continuing this slaughter!”
Sherisa suddenly spoke out.
Henry was stunned for a moment. He remembered that Sherisa wasn’t supposed to be this saintly.
He saw Sherisa seriously turn around.
“I have a premonition that if these villagers kill all these soldiers, I’m afraid some very powerful existence will descend!”
Upon hearing this, Henry could understand Sherisa’s words.
Although he couldn’t sense the existence of magic power, Sherisa wouldn’t lie to him.
Moreover, this world indeed had existences that needed to be summoned through sacrifice.
“Alright, you wait here for me. I’ll go and come back.”
Henry hadn’t thought before that he had just finished showing that video to Sherisa, and the mission was already complete.
What happened next had nothing to do with him.
However, there was one thing he hadn’t told Sherisa.
That was, possibly under the influence of that crimson moon.
The entire village had formed a barrier, and people inside simply couldn’t get out.
To avoid making Sherisa panic, Henry hadn’t revealed this fact.
But now, he roughly had some clues.
****
The villagers here were still slaughtering soldiers. On the other side, someone came running back urgently.
“Someone’s dead! Someone’s dead!”
“Shut up, Terry! We’re killing people and sacrificing them right now! Is this your first time seeing corpses? Making such a big fuss!”
Someone scolded Terry who had rushed back.
But Terry’s expression was tense, and his voice was somewhat urgent.
“No, Old Wang is dead! He died together with Aunt Nancy!”
“Fuck! I knew those two were having an affair, these damn bastards, I’m going to kill them!” A bald middle-aged man started cursing furiously.
Obviously, he was Aunt Nancy’s husband.
Now that his own wife died together with another man, how could he accept this?
Even if they were dead, he wanted to imprison Nancy’s soul by his side. He wanted to severely punish this stinking whore!
“Barton! Is that the point? The point is they were killed by someone else! There are other villagers’ corpses beside them.”
Terry finally managed to say what he meant.
At this moment, everyone finally reacted – there was a ghost in the village.
Someone must be secretly targeting them, these devout believers.
Besides these soldiers, someone had infiltrated!
“I remember now. When I entered the inn earlier, a young man greeted me. He’s not among this group of soldiers.”
The inn’s boss suddenly remembered.
He felt it must be that evil young man who killed their simple villagers.
Redefining the word ‘simple’.
“Damn it, there’s an intruder!”
They had decided they must tear that intruder into pieces.
However, Barton still wanted to bring back his wife’s corpse.
After all, she died together with another man.
His bald head inexplicably grew green hair, which he couldn’t accept.
“Oh? There’s a party and you didn’t invite me? You can’t exclude me just because I’m from out of town.”
A young voice sounded behind the crowd.
Everyone turned around to see Henry looking at them with curiosity.
The soldiers on the ground were also stunned for a moment.
Wasn’t that someone from the Noel Family?
How did he appear here? Was he here to save them?
For a moment, the soldiers felt touched emotions rising in their hearts.
You know, they had just personally witnessed their companions being tortured to death. Now someone appeared to divert these villagers’ attention — he was simply their savior!
They felt they might betray the Church’s faith and choose a new god.
The inn’s boss pointed at Henry after seeing him, showing a crazed expression.
“It’s him, it’s him!”
“Your little hero? Too bad I’m not Nezha, I’m Batman~”
Henry shrugged, feeling sorry that he wasn’t Nezha.
But these crazed villagers didn’t care what Henry said.
“You killed my wife, I’ll make you accompany my wife in death!”
“This uncle, your wife was getting very close to another uncle. I was just helping you solve the trouble of wearing a green hat.”
“Damn! I knew it, I knew they were having an affair! Wuu wuu wuu.”
Barton suddenly knelt on the ground and started crying without warning.
“Barton, don’t listen to his nonsense! He just wants to destroy your faith. Hurry up and kill him!”
Someone roared behind Barton, but Barton remained unmoved.
They angrily stared at Henry, saying they absolutely couldn’t let Henry shake their faith.
However, Henry helplessly shook his head.
“You guys having a party without bringing me is one thing, but now you’re misunderstanding me too. I’m feeling very bad right now.”
Henry slowly raised his hand and pointed at them.
But in the villagers’ view, Henry looked like an idiot showing off.
Someone coldly laughed out loud.
“Do you think your magic works here? This is our territory, any magic is useless!”
“Very good plan, but take a look behind you?”
Someone looked back as instructed, only to be startled by the scene before them.
Countless longswords were floating in the air, as if they would stab toward them at any moment!
They had no doubt that if these longswords fell, they would definitely be turned into pincushions!
“Impossible, the Lord’s crimson moon cuts off all magic. How did you do it?”
Someone couldn’t believe it.
However, Henry’s face showed a gentle smile.
“I believe what you said. But who told you I use magic?”
One sword blade precisely pierced through the body of a villager who wanted to resist, nailing him firmly to the ground.
“Now, calmly listen to what I say. Put down your weapons and start over as decent people, alright?”
At this moment, Henry was like a saint radiating his own compassion.
