Start Cthulhu with priest

Chapter 128 127. Father's Kindness and Daughter's Filial Piety (3000) (12)

In the main city, inside Edward's mansion.

Lisa is sitting in the dining room where several siblings are present.

They sat around the dining room in silence, with maids and servants beside them, seemingly the same as usual.

But Lisa was restless, there was always a slight tingling between her brows, and unspeakable heart palpitations appeared from time to time.

She looked at the solid wood floor under her feet, and for a moment, the floor seemed to be no longer a floor, but a moss covered with fresh granulation, blood vessels were beating, and there was a human face staring at herself with hatred .

"hiss--"

Lisa's heart almost stopped beating, her little hand shook, and the fork she was holding fell to the ground.

She blinked again, and everything was back to normal.

No granulation, no blood vessels, no human face, all of them no longer exist.

Lisa's eldest brother, Benjamin, cast a glance: "Huh?"

"Why are you so careless?"

Immediately, a maid stepped forward to help Lisa pick up the fork and put on a new pair.

Lisa said apologetically, "Sorry."

She looked at the dining table, her eyes froze again, and a coldness rushed into her heart.

In her eyes, the delicate and simple mahogany dining table was made of white bones, and right in front of her, there was a human skull with empty eye sockets, staring at her.

'calm down……'

Lisa said silently in her heart to avoid being too gaffe.

In all fairness, Lisa is by no means timid, as can be seen from her five kills in the underground garage, she is not the kind of delicate young lady.

It's just because the scene around him is too frightening.

Lisa's symptoms have been going on for some time.

In this mansion, things are obviously normal, but in Lisa's view, they will turn into flesh and bones from time to time, just like what she just experienced.

'Is it a hallucination? '

Lisa thought.

This explanation is very reasonable, but in Lisa's heart, there is a kind of terrifying guess—maybe, the normal picture she sees now is an illusion?

She silently hid this thought in the deepest part of her heart, preparing to confide to the priest when she was pulled into the church.

Unlike Guangtai, Chen Ye and other employees, for Lisa, that church is not just a place to improve her strength.

It also has an important function, as a tree hole, to confide Lisa's secrets and relieve her pressure.

It's hard to keep everything inside.

Especially for a girl like Lisa.

Moreover, although the priest's aura is mysterious and weird, he has a gentle attitude towards believers like her, always smiles, and will not reveal her secrets to others, so he is the best person to confide in.

Lisa eats with a new knife and fork, watching her siblings out of the corner of her eye.

The weirdness in this house is not just hallucinations that appear from time to time.

The two older brothers and one older sister treated Lisa neither cold nor cold, neither close nor distant.

Although she didn't treat Lisa as a younger sister, she didn't deliberately make things difficult.

In fact, this was how they treated Lisa.

Even if Lisa moved into this home, nothing changed.

The only thing that has changed is the beautiful blond girl who was supposed to be hostile to Lisa—Charis.

She was the second youngest daughter of Edward's heir - Lisa was the youngest.

From the very first meeting, Xia Lisi showed her incomprehensible hostility towards Lisa, and then the relationship between the two deteriorated step by step, until the vicious incident happened not long ago, Lisa severely angered Xia Lisa. When Liz returned, she felt elated.

After that, Lisa rarely saw her at school.

When she first lived in this house, Lisa was prepared to be made things difficult by Xia Lisi everywhere, and violent conflicts broke out again.

However, the state of Xia Lisi made the girl unpredictable.

Just like at this time, Xia Lisi clearly noticed Lisa's undisguised gaze.

However, she just raised her head slightly, looked at Lisa, nodded slightly, and continued to eat gracefully.

There seems to be no problem with this performance itself, but once Lisa associates her current self with the proud and unyielding little princess in the past, she can't help feeling an indescribable absurdity in her heart.

It was as if the Xia Lisi in front of her was false, empty, and unreal.

Even her reaction is like a program written by code, which only determines different outputs according to the input.

And last time, the members of the investigation team came here to investigate, which was also very strange.

They asked the maids and servants living in the house, and also interviewed Lisa, Benjamin and other Edward's children, but they turned a blind eye to a living person like Xia Lisi, as if they didn't see her at all. It seems that he didn't go to her room to search.

And when answering, the investigators still didn't seem to hear about the existence of Xia Lisi when they clearly mentioned it.

It was almost as if the investigator's mind automatically filtered certain things, leaving only what someone wanted them to see and hear.

It is not difficult for Lisa to guess that this is Edward's handwriting.

He is the white-clothed bishop of the Misty Sect, and Lisa will not be surprised if he has any means of distorting his thinking.

It is understandable to hide the secrets in this mansion, but why did he deliberately conceal the existence of Xia Lisi?

Lisa is not from the Security Department, so naturally she doesn't know about the disappearance of "Charles".

But she could intuitively tell that there was something weird in it.

Moreover, thinking of this, Lisa couldn't help but feel suspicious—is the scene she saw in this mansion really real?

Could it also be an illusion created by Edward?

The abnormal scenes that flashed before the girl's eyes from time to time intensified her suspicion.

The reason why Lisa was able to perceive this was probably related to the church and the priest. The tentacles would regularly reach into her brain to extract the filth and purify the soul.

But to be honest, she would rather not see the "real" side.

These days, there are often ominous signs in Lisa's heart.

She vaguely guessed that perhaps it was not for the purpose of protection that Edward brought her to her side, but...

The so-called "deep love between father and daughter" could not have appeared between them.

'I am still too weak now. '

Lisa knew very well that if she refused Edward's order some time ago, or wanted to escape, there was a high probability that she would be caught secretly, unable to resist, and her true thoughts would be exposed.

In order to accumulate more strength, Lisa had to endure temporarily and develop wretchedly.

During this period of time, she asked Edward for many secret books in the church, read forbidden knowledge and offered sacrifices. This is her unique channel, and the effect is remarkable.

[Soul scream (+5)! 】

Lisa thought to herself: ‘But, it’s not enough. '

‘Father is right, in the face of sufficient strength, everything is vain. '

'At least to the point where I can escape. '

*****

After eating.

A maid walked up to Lisa and said respectfully.

"Miss Lisa, the master wants you to go to his study."

Lisa nodded gracefully: "Okay, I see."

She knew it was a daily prayer session.

Although they live under the same roof, Lisa and the others don't see Edward much every day.

Even though Edward is temporarily out of work due to the recent investigation, he still has a lot of business to deal with, and spends most of his time in the study.

Edward's meals are taken care of by a special person, and he does not eat with his children.

Feeling slightly uneasy, Lisa knocked on the door of the study.

Edward was sitting behind the desk, concentrating on writing something.

After seeing Lisa, he raised his head and showed a gentle smile: "You are here."

His demeanor and demeanor are like a father who cares for his daughter.

Edward asked: "Is the dinner satisfactory? If you want to eat anything, you can tell the butler, and he will meet your request."

"The taste is good, I am very satisfied."

Lisa also acted like a well-behaved daughter, and replied quietly.

The father and daughter talked about some life matters one after another, including how they are used to living, whether there is any discomfort in life, and whether they want to buy some new clothes.

What a scene of loving father and daughter, filial piety and joy.

"By the way, this is the book you asked me to bring you last time."

Edward pointed to a few books stacked on the table. The covers of the books were old, like sheepskin.

Lisa knew that this was a classic in the religion, and said softly, "Thank you."

Edward said with a long heart: "It's good that you want to know more about the history of the Mist, but be careful not to get too addicted, or you may become a madman."

Lisa thought to herself; "Mist believers themselves, in the eyes of ordinary people, are already lunatics, right?" '

For some reason, Edward's tone was a little sad, and his eyes fell on Lisa's face.

"Every time I see you, I think of your mother, you are very similar to her..."

Lisa remained silent, a little angry in her heart... Are you worthy of mentioning her?

"I know, you never forgave me and thought what I did was crazy."

"You don't even...don't want to call me father."

"However, I firmly believe that you will understand later."

Edward raised his head and looked somewhere in the void.

"After I bring your mother back to life."

Lisa's heart trembled.

Not only because of Edward's words, but also because, at that moment just now, she saw a mouth full of sharp teeth split open on this man's face, and he was laughing softly.

But in the blink of an eye, the mouth disappeared, as if the picture she saw only existed in her imagination.

Edward turned his head and asked, "Huh? What's the matter, is there something on my face?"

Fortunately, Lisa has honed enough psychological quality, she shook her head.

"I'm just shocked by what you said, mother... can she really be resurrected?"

Lisa's eyes were filled with genuine hope.

"This also requires a little help from you."

Edward said seriously: "You have to believe in the mist more devoutly."

"Our family will meet again one day."

"Now, pray with me."

Edward took out a scroll, hung it on the wall, and began to pray.

"The mist will come eventually..."

Lisa was beside him, doing a similar movement.

The white mist spread densely.

And the girl could feel that the mist was penetrating into her skin, body, and even soul, undergoing some kind of transformation.

At the same time, Lisa glimpsed out of the corner of her eye a scene that made her heart tremble.

Several mouths split from Edward's face and hands, making heart-throbbing whispers.

The eyeballs seem to have grown countless thin limbs, trying to crawl out of the eye sockets.

The weird whiskers are growing and swaying in disorder.

This is a... flesh and blood monster in the mist!

You won't even call me meow!
