moon shot plan

The phantom of the Virgin drew out the long sword, and then it was scattered in the wind, and the dazzling white light wrapped around the wound of No. 8. He convulsed his body and wailed on the cross.

"He really is a devil!" The believers screamed angrily, "Take off his human skin and let everyone see his true face!"

They rushed forward, and someone took a silver dagger and cut open a small piece of skin on his body. The dark red blood oozed out and turned black when it touched the dagger.

Regardless of No. 8's screams, the rest of the believers tore open the flesh beside the wound, and more than a dozen hands crazily and cruelly tore at his body:

"Only under the skin of a devil can it be so ugly. If you are loyal to God, your blood should smell like fine wine, and your bones should be forged from mithril."

The believers peeled off his skin, looked indifferently and frantically at the bloody No. 8, which was still wriggling slightly, "Hang him here, let the night owls peck at his body, after tonight he won't die." can die."

The bloody trial scene made An Ran dizzy for a while, and at the same time, she was deeply afraid of this round of adventure. If Xu Heng still firmly believed in him and Xie Yi in the end, and people from the Holy See camp split their votes for each other due to mutual distrust. Two people, now the one hanging on the cross dripping with blood is not No. 8, but him or Xie Yi.

He is still too reckless!

In addition to being afraid, he also feels a little bit guilty about No. 8. In fact, No. 8 just got the card of the black wizard. Was voted out by them to die.

Still such a cruel and painful way to die.

Don't those believers believe in gods and the Virgin Mary? Don't their teachings require believers to be kind, lenient, and merciful?

What is the difference between them and demons in doing so?

[The second round of the referendum meeting in the first round of the game is over, and now the crown transfer link is underway. King No. 7 can secretly choose a player to inherit the crown, and the selected player will become the new king, and he can decide the candidate for the third round. 】

[No. 7, please choose a player to succeed the king. 】

"...Number 1."

In fact, it doesn't matter who the crown is given to. The demon camp has already determined who the Virgin is, and the next round is to assassinate the Virgin. No matter who becomes the king, no matter how the team is chosen, they will not vote against it. The expedition will definitely be successful.

But to be on the safe side, of course the crown was given to Xie Yi, and the next round of expedition candidates was entirely up to him.

[The new king has been confirmed, and the owl will pass the crown to his hand before the speech tomorrow. 】

[The day belonging to the Holy See is over, all players return to their rooms immediately to rest, and night will fall in 60 seconds. 】

The setting sun was still falling and the bell was still ringing. An Ran ran against the wind all the way back to the room. He told himself never to look at the number 8 on the cross again, but the guilt in his heart became heavier and heavier.

Without even knowing his name, they teamed up to push him to his death.

This is the rule of the game, this is "elimination".

And the girl who disappeared inch by inch because the chair was robbed by No. 8... The rules of this game just let them kill each other in a seemingly fair and orderly way.

Lying on the bed, filled with the grief of the death of the rabbit and the helplessness of being played by the rules of the game, An Ran lost consciousness uncontrollably.

He still woke up very early the next day. It was just dawn, and a little golden light pierced through the dark clouds, tenaciously radiating to the earth. The believers who were rushing to morning prayer walked by the door, and the sound of small conversations could be heard. into the room.

"A demon was crucified yesterday, and he should be dead now."

"It may not die so fast. I heard that demons don't have to breathe like humans."

"We skinned him. He shed all his black blood last night, and night owls pecked at his carrion. Even if he doesn't need to breathe, he should be dead by now."

"The punishment for the devil is still too light..."

They talked and drifted away.

An Ran dragged her heavy body to push open the door, but saw Xie Yi leaning against the door, seeing him coming out, her phoenix eyes slightly bent: "Good morning, An Ran."

"……morning."

Although both of them belonged to the demon camp, it seemed pointless to exchange any tactics now that they were almost certain to win.

An Ran walked outside in silence, Xie Yi asked behind him: "Is it in a bad mood? Because of this game?"

"...Yes." An Ran replied sullenly.

"The dungeon of Greedy Demon King is like this, he likes to watch players kill each other." Xie Yi followed up a few steps, and walked out side by side with him, "The place he rules is called 'Game Street', where almost all the games are like this .”

"Game Street? What is that? Is it also a dungeon?" An Ran remembered that the word was mentioned on the 2nd before, and she also said that this place is "famous"... When he asked so directly, would Xie Yi think that he had no common sense?

Fortunately, Xie Yi didn't care about it, but patiently explained to him: "It is indeed a dungeon...but it is actually a part of the 'Blood Moon' world, and it is a place directly ruled by a demon king. People outside call it like this. The domain of the Demon King is the 'Blood Moon', if a player rashly steps into the domain of the Demon King, there will be no turning back in the end."

"But... I heard from the administrator that the 'Blood Moon Book' of the two demon kings is very weak..."

Right after he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful, he didn't know Xie Yi well at all, so he said everything, but when he touched Xie Yi's smiling eyes, he couldn't control it at all, and asked what was in his heart as if he had been bewitched. think.

It seems that he is late in color control?When did you develop the habit of telling the truth whenever you meet a handsome guy?

Xie Yi smiled and said, "Let me guess...you are talking about laziness and gluttony..."

"The two of them can also be called the devil..." His slender fingers nodded his chin, as if he just knew about it.

"..." An Ran didn't know what to say, is Xie Yi so arrogant?

"Aren't they? Don't the seven deadly sins correspond to the seven devil kings?"

Xie Yi smiled and shook his head: "No, the origin of the Seven Sins was originally controlled by an innate demon king, that is... the demon king who captured Baicheng in the background of our game. Later... the Seven Sins gradually separated, and only The source of jealousy... And such as greed and lust, they are all acquired demon kings who are crowned after obtaining the source of sin."

Jealous of the devil!

As soon as the name was mentioned, An Ran's heart trembled, and she managed to calm down and asked, "Then...the gluttonous and lazy, are they all acquired demon kings?"

"No, laziness can barely be counted. Gluttony is just a human being who has been imposed with the essence of evil. He is not a demon. The essence of evil cannot bring him any power. It will only make him suffer more and more, lose himself, and finally become a monster."

It turns out that some "devil kings" are actually human beings?

"Don't you want to ask about other demon kings? For example... the jealous demon king who rules Baicheng?" Xie Yi guided.

Just as An Ran was about to agree, she suddenly realized that he had said so much to Xie Yi again... This, this, this, this is simply defenseless. If Xie Yi deliberately tried to trick him, wouldn't it be accurate?

This is not only a matter of color control, right?Is he the kind of person who can play horror games without reservation just because he covets beauty?

That bit of curiosity was instantly covered up by panic and vigilance, An Ran exhausted all her strength and politely refused, "No need, I don't care about that His Majesty at all."

In fact, it's not very euphemistic...

But the effect is still there, Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "...Okay."

He lowered his head, his slender eyelashes fluttered slightly, casting a faint shadow on his fine white skin, his expression was a bit lonely.

... Are you so enthusiastic to give him science?

It's not that he deliberately wanted to hurt the beautiful boy's heart, the key is that in the dangerous dungeon game, the enthusiastic handsome boy has to guard against it! ! !

Because of this weird gay episode, An Ran's heavy heart eased a little in the morning. Seeing Xie Yi's hurt face, she took the initiative to touch Xie Yi's shoulder: "Let's go, let's go to the meeting!"

Seeing his approaching behavior, Xie Yi smiled through his tears (heavy fog), nodded obediently and followed him out.

Because they had just talked for a while, it was not too early for them to go out at this time, and the round tables were almost full, and only seats 5 and 8 were still vacant.

An Ran couldn't help but look at the cross where No. 8 was tortured—but there was no figure of him on it now, only some dried blood.

"Are you looking for No. 8 who was killed by you?" No. 2 scolded coldly, "Is your conscience disturbed?"

Although No. 8's death was indeed related to their vote, but this is the rule of the game, and he can't change it. Could it be possible to settle his conscience by voting for himself?

Hearing her accusation, An Ran felt a little displeased, while No. 9 sitting over there sighed, "He was already dead when we came this morning...it should be due to excessive blood loss and suffocation..."

"Ye Xiao pecked his body to pieces... He must have died in pain..."

"It shouldn't be him who died yesterday..."

They looked at An Ran with condemning eyes.

Although the death of No. 8 did make An Ran feel a little guilty, did he or Xie Yi get what he deserved if he or Xie Yi was voted out and accepted the 'trial'?

He admitted that yesterday they voted out on the 8th, tantamount to murdering him indirectly, but why didn't they vote for themselves on the 2nd and 9th? Didn't they also try to murder him and Xie Yi?

It's just an attempted murder, and it's not an abstention. What's more, No. 8 is indeed a devil, and he is not a good person who has been wronged. What position do other people have to sympathize with No. 8 and blame themselves?

"It's just the rules of the game." An Ran stopped pretending to be a good person, and sneered back at their condemnation. "There is no rule in the game, only the Holy See can win, right?"

No. 2 frowned, and was about to retort when he saw something, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at An Ran proudly: "Although there is no rule, it seems that we will win in the end."

An Ran followed her gaze, and saw a thin figure coming out of the church. When she got close, she could clearly see her bloodshot eyes and chapped and purple lips.

number 5? !

The author has something to say:

Xie Yi: Are you interested in learning more about the Demon King of Envy~

An Ran (very tactful refusal): No, no, I'm not interested in him at all.

Xie Yi (wronged): Alright...
