Anthony, who was waiting for Gu Zheng in the distance, saw that the two men were at war, and wanted to step forward to help Gu Zheng, but he found that he could not get close to Gu Zheng and Egmont at all.

Anthony could feel that there seemed to be something between the two of them. He wanted to break the barrier in front of him, but he suddenly froze in place, unable to move.

Egmont was taken aback by Gu Zheng's question at this moment, and he took it for granted, "Why should I care? I'm a devil, not a saint. Why should I consider other people's thoughts when I do things?"

Gu Zheng didn't like his attitude very much, and he seemed to realize that the other party didn't seem to be an obedient person. He said in a cold tone: "Since you have said that, then I can't help it."

Seeing that Gu Zheng rejected him, Egmont made a fuss unreasonably: "Since you can make Kronos obey you obediently, the ability must not be extraordinary, and you also said before that you have a way."

Originally, Gu Zheng was thinking about saving some trouble, but he didn’t expect Egmont to seek his own death, so he can’t be blamed, Gu Zheng shrugged and pretended: “I do have a way, but you may not be willing .”

When Egmont heard that there was still hope, he couldn't help but excitedly grabbed Gu Zheng's wrist and said, "What way? As long as you can cure Alinda, I will give you whatever you want."

Gu Zheng shook off his hand, and said in a cold tone: "I can cure Alinda, but the price is your life."

Egmont was obviously a little sluggish. He didn't expect that since this would happen, it wasn't that he didn't want to, but he didn't understand it for a while, he hesitated, and didn't know how to answer Gu Zheng.

His idea was very simple, if he sacrificed his life to save Alinda, what would happen afterwards?Would Alinda remember him, or would she just turn around and marry someone else?

Egmont is a demon after all, he doesn't have the spirit of dedicating himself to love, and he was willing to give up the power of demons to stay with Elinda, that was the premise that the two could stay together.

But now Gu Zheng told him that he had to sacrifice his life to save Alinda, so what was the point of him saving Alinda?He doesn't seem to have any interest in doing this. This is not the way a devil should behave.

But he didn't want to just watch Alinda die like this. He is a demon, and Alinda is a human being. After she dies, she will go to heaven, which means that the two will be separated forever. the reason.

In his eyes, the kind and pious Alinda is destined to enter heaven to meet the God of Light after death, but Egmont is a demon, an ugly and treacherous demon, and he cannot step into that place after all.

If Alinda dies, he will never see Alinda again. If he blindly wants to keep the other party and use his demon power to infect Alinda's soul, then Alinda's soul will be polluted , she can no longer be that kind and happy Alinda.

But do you really want to dedicate your life for a human being?does it worth?Could it be that Alinda didn't even know that he had saved her?Egmont's mind was full of confusion at the moment, and he fell into a daze.

Egmont's hesitation was expected by Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng deliberately prodded him with contemptuous words: "Why... are you hesitating? If you don't want to, forget it."

Gu Zheng's original intention was to scare Egmont, and by the way, he wanted to see what his so-called sincerity was like. Now it seems that it is nothing more than that. Devils are devils, and selfishness and greed are their nature.

However, Egmont seemed very calm in the face of Gu Zheng's sarcasm. He was not angry, but said slowly: "Wait, wait, let me think about it, let me think about it before I speak."

In other words, Biegmont disappeared directly in front of Gu Zheng, and Antoine, who was at the entrance of the corridor in the distance, also recovered his mobility. He rushed to Gu Zheng immediately, worried: "Father, are you alright?"

Gu Zheng didn't take Egmont seriously, and wasn't worried that he would disturb his plan at all, but he felt that it was time for Antoni to leave, otherwise it would be quite noisy to have such a person by his side.

Gu Zheng was about to go back, and now he just had to wait for Egmont to throw himself into the trap, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said in a good mood: "I'm fine, let's leave first."

Anthony looked at the place where Egmont suddenly disappeared just now. It was very strange. Except for him, the maids around him didn't seem to notice anything strange. He tentatively asked Gu Zhengdao: "Is that Earl Egmont a demon?"

"It won't be soon." Gu Zheng said in a flat tone, as if he was talking about a very normal thing. After speaking, he walked outside, followed by Antoni.

Seeing the two people coming out, the housekeeper hurriedly greeted them. He asked about Ilinda's condition with concern, "Father Harris, how is Miss's condition? Is it better?"

Gu Zheng frowned, sighed softly, and deliberately shifted the responsibility to Egmont, "Your lady's condition is a bit tricky, and the later stage will depend on Earl Egmont's wishes."

The housekeeper seemed to trust Egmont very much, and he was not worried that Egmont would refuse the matter. Instead, he agitatedly asked Gu Zheng: "Are you sure you can cure Miss?"

Gu Zheng had already discussed the matter of suspended animation with Ailinda, so naturally he wouldn't say everything, he shook his head, "No, it's better to just give it a try than to give up."

The housekeeper who did not get Gu Zheng's 100% guarantee looked rather disappointed, but he knew that life is impermanent, these things are not something they can decide at will, "I'm sorry to trouble you, I'll send you back home."

Thinking of Egmont's rude behavior just now, Gu Zheng couldn't help putting eye drops on purpose in front of the butler and said, "Okay, it just so happens that Earl Egmont just left us, so I'm still worried about how to go back."

The butler was always polite to these guests who came for treatment, he felt guilty, and apologized to Gu Zheng: "I'll let someone take you to the carriage, please."

Gu Zheng didn't intend to stay any longer, so he smiled and replied to the butler: "You're welcome."

Soon the two got into the carriage arranged by the butler, and after confirming to leave the manor, Antoni slowly asked Gu Zheng: "Father, what does that Egmont want to do?"

Gu Zheng didn't bother to hide it at the moment, anyway, Antoni had seen Egmont's sudden disappearance just now, "Can't you see it? He wants to save people, but demons can't save people."

Anthony suddenly felt a little uneasy, and he didn't know why, he just felt that Gu Zheng was a little too calm, thinking of Gu Zheng's calm appearance during the exorcism, he was a little uneasy.

Antony didn't know why he was uneasy. He just wanted to ask Gu Zheng why he was so calm when facing the devil, as if he was planning some plan.

If it's him... Anthony recently felt that something was wrong with him. Although he didn't know how to exorcise demons, after following Gu Zheng for so long, he had a premonition that something was wrong with him.

After struggling for a long time, Antoni said softly: "Father, if one day, I will become a devil too..."

Sometimes courage is just a moment. After realizing that Gu Zheng was asleep, Antoni couldn't say anything behind him. He looked at the fascinated face in front of him and asked softly, "Father?"

Sure enough, there was no response. At this moment, Antoni let go a little bit. He stared at Gu Zheng carefully, and said what he hadn't finished asking just now, "If one day I become a demon, will you also have nothing to do?" Except me without hesitation?"

Just when Antoni thought that Gu Zheng would not respond to him, a voice suddenly appeared in Antoni's ear. The voice was cold and calm, as if deliberately imitating Gu Zheng, "Do you want to know the answer?"

Anthony was taken aback. He thought that Gu Zheng was not asleep, but after careful observation, he found that Gu Zheng's mouth did not move at all, and the voice did not come from Gu Zheng.

That voice seemed to be able to hear what Antoni was hiding in his heart, and he laughed lightly at Antoni and said, "Don't you feel that you are useless? You are useless when the priest exorcises demons."

Anthony was still in shock, and the voice began to bewitch him again: "Your priest cares about too many people, and you can't be ranked at all. You say he knows your heart, will you feel disgusted?"

Anthony, who has been with Gu Zheng for so long, is not stupid. He knows that it is probably the voice of a demon, but he ignores one thing, that is, although Gu Zheng is asleep, Cronus in his body is always there. .

Kronos didn't make any movement, it could only show that the voice next to Antoni's ear was not of the same kind at all. Otherwise, with Kronos' sensitivity, it would be impossible not to notice the approaching danger.

Anthony was surprised but did not dare to scare the snake. Gu Zheng was opposite, and what he was afraid of happened. He didn't know why he was the only one who could hear the voice.

It was obvious that there was no one in front of him who could hear his heart, and now his ability to hear his heart was getting weaker and weaker. Anthony was a little scared, but he didn't dare to disturb Gu Zheng who was resting.

Anthony cautiously questioned the voice in his heart, "What the hell are you? Why are you here? Are you a demon?"

However, that voice suddenly disappeared, it didn't respond to Antoni, and just fell silent like this, Antoni's hanging heart slowly relaxed, he was a little uneasy, and looked at the corner of Gu Zheng's clothes.

The voice didn't sound again, Antony just thought it was an accident, he grabbed Gu Zheng's clothes tightly, as if this could dispel these harsh voices.

It's just that even Antoni didn't notice it, his expression seemed to gradually become greedy, greedy for the moment when he was so close to Gu Zheng, trying to go further.

The time on the road blinked in Antoni's eyes. Antoni reluctantly let go of Gu Zheng's clothes and woke Gu Zheng softly, "Father, we are here."

Gu Zheng fell into a deep sleep, but he woke up when he heard Antoni calling him. He looked at the familiar scenery outside the car window, pushed the door and walked down, followed by Antoni.

The two went straight back to the church. It was time for afternoon prayers. Even if Gu Zheng wasn't there, there were still some praying congregants gathered in the church. When they saw Gu Zheng coming back, they respectfully greeted him, "Good afternoon, Father Harris."

Although Gu Zheng slept all the way, he was a little tired from the carriage ride. He wanted to go back to sleep, nodded to everyone, and then whispered to Antoni behind him: "I'm tired, let's cook first, and wait until it's ready." Wake me up again."

Anthony nodded obediently, as if everything just now had never happened. He looked at the devoutly praying crowd, and then at the empty space in the middle of the church. He was suddenly a little confused. Does the God of Light really exist?
