God's Gift

Before Ye Li could answer, Shen Minghua heard a crisp voice.

Shen Minghua turned his head to look at Yu Youyou, and suddenly smiled.

"It would be nice if I were like Youyou, who doesn't have to think so much and is happy all day long, doing whatever I want and saying whatever I want."

Ye Li looked at Yu Youyou and said inexplicably: "She is indeed very happy."

It's like someone's brain stem has been chewed, and all he can do is laugh foolishly all day long.

But the pope did not let them refuse, and said to the priest, "Preside over the sacrifice."

The priest's face was filled with undisguised joy. "I have finally waited for this day. God bless me!"

So he turned around and ordered his men to arrest the elderly villagers, including the village chief.

The village chief stood there, looking at Lu Keming motionlessly, "Will the fire of hell really go out if you kill us?"

There was a dark light in Lu Keming's eyes and he nodded calmly.

The village chief did not resist and let them do what they wanted.

It seemed that I had made this preparation from the moment I went out.

Looking at the appearance of the village chief, the old people finally gave up compromising and allowed the followers to take them away.

In the end, they gave up on themselves and chose to let the young people live.

Or maybe it's out of guilt.

-

The young people in the village were imprisoned, and the rest of the people in the square also dispersed to prepare for the next day's sacrifice.

Lu Keming led a group of Blue Dragon members to escort the village chief and the old man. When they passed by Shen Minghua and Ye Li, Lu Keming stopped and looked at them meaningfully, "It seems that you have made the best choice."

"It turns out that the kind-hearted and loving white dove will also abandon others for the sake of profit." Lu Keming looked at Shen Minghua and said something vaguely.

White Dove has been in opposition to Blue Dragon for many years. She has been advocating that people without psychic powers are equal to everyone else, criticizing Blue Dragon for suppressing people without psychic powers, and pretending to be a saint to win the approval of the people of the empire.

It's just because of interests.

Who is nobler than whom?

Lu Keming looked at Shen Minghua sarcastically.

Even though the White Dove has worked hard for many years, it is still vulnerable to the Blue Dragon.

Incompetent organizations will always be trampled underfoot.

Shen Minghua's face darkened. "People without psychic powers are different from them. People without psychic powers have not committed any crime. You have no reason to belittle or hurt them."

"No crime?" Lu Keming didn't know what he was thinking of. The corners of his mouth curved up and he said vaguely, "You really think they are treasures."

After saying that, he glanced at Yu Youyou, who was standing next to him and looked like a bystander, and sneered.

Yu Youyou scratched her hands in confusion.

What do you mean?

Lu Keming shifted his gaze back to the two of them, "But the important thing now is the mission. Let's celebrate our success in advance."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Shen Minghua took a deep breath and looked at Ye Li and Fang Ziang again, "Let's go."

Ye Li nodded, and before leaving, he suddenly realized that one person was missing.

"Where's Yu Youyou?"

The three of them looked at each other, wondering how the person who was there just now suddenly disappeared.

On the other side, Yu Youyou followed the Blue Dragon team stealthily, squeezed next to the village chief, scratched her hands and smiled embarrassedly.

"Village Chief, can I ask you a question?"

When the village chief heard the sound, he turned around and found that a little girl had appeared next to him out of nowhere.

But he didn't have a good impression of this group of outsiders now, and asked Yu Youyou with a cold face.

"what is the problem."

"What is your treasure?" Yu Youyou was still thinking about what the village chief's son said, "I heard your son say that you used the treasure to exchange for the lives of the villagers. Who is that?"

Her last sentence did not use "what" to refer to the treasure, but directly asked who it was.

She knew that the treasure was a person.

"I don't understand what you are saying." The village chief froze for a moment, "I have already said that I am exchanging the lives of other people for the lives of the villagers."

"Okay." Yu Youyou nodded and asked a different question in a very humane way, "Who is that villager?"

"Is it your relative?"

Yu Youyou counted on her fingers and said, "Your son is still alive, but your wife and daughter are dead. However, only your daughter died that year. After analyzing it, the most likely person is your daughter."

"But I can't be sure. What if you have other relatives?"

Yu Youyou is very thoughtful.

The village chief's face turned dark blue and he was shaking all over. "Stop talking!"

Yu Youyou looked at the angry look of the village chief and nodded affirmatively, "It seems that it should be a daughter. She is your treasure."

Humans are really strange. They can easily discard something that is clearly a treasure.

"I told you to stop talking!" The village head roared angrily, attracting the attention of others, Lu Keming stopped and walked towards the back of the team.

"Are you angry?"

Yu Youyou tilted her head, her eyes bright and clear.

"But your daughter should be more angry?"

The village chief opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he saw a hand reaching out from behind Yu Youyou and carrying Yu Youyou out.

"What are you doing here?" Lu Keming carried Yuyouyou to the side of the road, and looked at her indifferently with his arms folded.

"I'll ask the village chief what his treasure is." Yu Youyou straightened her messy clothes and answered everything.

Lu Keming looked down at Yu Youyou, "His daughter."

"You know that too!" Yu Youyou opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Lu Keming stroked the dragon ring and said, "This is not difficult to guess."

When he heard Yu Youyou talking about the village chief's treasure, he guessed what the treasure was.

But even if she was a daughter, so what? She was no different from those villagers who were sacrificed. She was just a sacrifice, one of those undead monsters.

"Oh, that's right." Yu Youyou nodded in agreement. Knowing that the villagers sacrificed their relatives, it was not difficult to guess that the village chief also sacrificed his daughter.

"Humans are really strange. If they say it's a treasure, then it must be a child they love very much. But why would they abandon it so easily?"

Lu Keming's expression froze for a few seconds. The night concealed his features, and one could only tell that his voice was even colder than the icy night.

"Because human beings are all equally hypocritical and disgusting."

“Hmm?” Yu Youyou disagreed with Lu Keming’s words, “Not all humans are like this. My mother is a good person, A-li is also a good person, brother Minghua is also a good person, Fang Ziang is also... barely a good person..."

Lu Keming turned and left, "All people are the same."

Yu Youyou followed him, "No..."

Lu Keming glanced at Yu Youyou, Yu Youyou shrugged, "Okay."

"leave me alone."

Yu Youyou snorted and stood a little further away.

Lu Keming walked forward, and Yu Youyou followed him closely.

Lu Keming stopped and Yu Youyou bumped into his back.

"Don't follow me."

Yu Youyou said "Oh", nodded obediently, and turned back. After walking a few steps, she turned back and waved to Lu Keming.

"Lu Keming, see you tomorrow!"

Lu Keming took a look and left without any emotion.

-

The second night came quickly.

In the forest, believers and blue dragon members stood around the altar in turn, holding blessings, and in the center of the altar were villagers kneeling on the ground.

The moon is slowly rising.

Lu Keming was wearing a black robe, and his delicate and gloomy face was hidden under a hat, blocking the moonlight.

He and the priest stood on the left and right sides of the Pope, while the believers and Blue Dragon members stood next to the villagers in the altar, holding blades in their hands.

The village chief's back could no longer be straightened, but he still tried his best to stand.

Shen Minghua and Ye Li stood around the altar, waiting for the sacrifice to begin.

The surrounding hellfires are still burning.

Yu Youyou and Fang Ziang were squatting in the corner, sharing a piece of bread.

Strictly speaking, Yu Youyou was staring at the bread in Fang Ziang's hand, her eyes moving with his movements.

Fang Ziang turned his back to Yu Youyou, Yu Youyou stared at the bread covetously, and moved to Fang Ziang.

Fang Ziang turned in another direction, and soon Yu Youyou also moved over.

for a long time.

Fang Ziang tore off half of it and handed it to Yu Youyou, "Here, don't just sit there and look at it. It's annoying."

Yu Youyou's eyes lit up and she took the bread.

Fang Ziang sighed, "Sometimes I think it's really good to be like you."

Unlike him, he is still worried about the villagers.

"Can these fires really be put out in this way?" Fang Ziang looked at the white flames around the altar, worried.

"Sure." Yu Youyou answered nonchalantly while eating bread.

"You said the same thing to Shen Minghua yesterday. Why do you think it can be destroyed?" Fang Ziang became excited when Yu Youyou said this.

"Because it doesn't like death." Yu Youyou finished eating the bread and was looking for water everywhere. Fang Ziang took a bottle from the storage space and gave it to her.

Fang Ziang frowned, "Why don't you like death? The fire of hell is fueled by eating people, so how can you not like death?"

“Oh.” Yu Youyou twisted the bottle cap and answered casually, “But this is not the fire of hell.”
