"At 29:37 am [-] days ago, when you were kneeling on her bed, you whipped yourself while comforting her and called her name [-] times." The voice of the young doctor was concise and effective.

Kelsey's mind suddenly went blank.

Then, it rose to a bright red.

"you you……"

"You see, I only need one sentence to break your psychological defense. As long as I want, I can completely modify your spirit into any shape I need just now without setting up any illusions at all." Polseford Nirvana, replied lightly. "Are you going to be tough now? Kelsey."

"I..." Kelsey opened her mouth.And his face turned from red to pale in an instant.

If this is not an illusion.So--

"You still have one last chance. I can only help you get this last chance. If you still can't accompany her during this dream journey, I suggest you get familiar with living alone after waking up .”

"……What should I do?"

The phantom of Persephone looked at the surrounding environment.

"Go to the right and see the balcony? Go over there."

The essence of the balcony is a huge protruding rock, and under the rock is a deep and distant abyss—a few stones slid down with her footsteps, and after dozens of seconds, there was no sound of bottoming out. outgoing.

"This memory will be deleted, and I can't leave traces of my past, otherwise everything will be useless. So I will only say this sentence once."

The phantom of Persephone looked into the depths of the abyss.

"Jump down, Kelsey. Shirtel may still be paying attention to you, or he may have left completely. You only have half the chance, it depends on whether you dare to bet."

Her figure gradually dimmed.And the memories and traces that she had appeared were also eliminated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Jump down, Kelsey. Survive."

Chapter 180: There is no way out

come down--

The fall is accompanied by the light and fire of transformation.

'Bah——' There was a muffled sound, and the back touched the ground, but it was not accompanied by severe pain that shook the bones and flesh.

It's actually a little soft to the touch.

"What are you doing, Kelsey!"

After regaining consciousness, what came into view was a gloomy forest - barren and dilapidated, but the muddy road among the grass could be vaguely seen.The dim sun hung high in the sky, dyeing the sky a dull white.And under the bleak cloudy sky and sparse trees, there are the slightly angry eyes of the girl with red hair.

— Sturtle, angry.

—Why is she angry?

Kelsey blinked, suppressed a smile on her lips and raised her head.

——Oh... I remembered, I jumped off a cliff.

——Because she doesn't want me anymore... She doesn't want me anymore, so what's the point of me being alive?

There was always a feeling that something was missing in her mind, but this strange perception quickly disappeared—yes, this was her own idea, her own decision.Her own struggle—she felt and believed so.

She saw the woman known as the Fireproof Woman raised her hand, and shed a warm light.Something was washing back and forth in my body, but in the end nothing was found.

"Not tainted or hinted at, miss." The fire lady whispered in Stelter's ear. "This lady's decision is due to her own will without any external interference."

She was stating a fact - Kelsey saw Shirtel's face turn blue and bitter in an instant.

"You are so eager to leave, so urgent, so resentful...even if you are taking an unknown risk. You don't want to be in the same world as me—"

Kelsey cut her off abruptly.

"I'm not going to leave, I'm going to be with you." When she said this, she felt her heart was beating hard, and her chest was burning like a fire.

"With me?" The flaming-haired girl raised her voice, but her complexion improved a bit. "But I just said it's safe there. You have a lot of uncertain risks with me—"

"I know." Kelsey propped herself up on the grass and got up.The fire lady gave her a hand—she resisted the instinct to slap her away with difficulty—and she stared intently at Stelter. "But I don't like it there, I don't want to be alone. I only know you in this world, no matter where you go, I will watch - I will follow you!"

"...For the first time, I know that you are also unreasonable, Kelsey."

—Maybe I've been making trouble for no reason.

Kelsey bit her lower lip lightly, and patted the grass stalks off her skirt.

"You just think I'm being vexatious, Sturtle. Let me follow you, or—" Her voice trembled. "I'll die again." Then quickly added. "Anywhere without you is hell for me."

"You..." The flaming-haired girl rubbed her temples fiercely—she seemed to want to say something angrily.But eventually he slumped his shoulders and sighed.

"I don't know why you say that, I don't know why you do this - Kelsey. Let's just get straight to the point. I know you don't like me, and I'm almost fed up with it actually… ...Forget it, regardless of the past. But no matter what, I will always maintain respect and respect for you."

"Follow if you want. I won't interfere with what you plan to do. But I'm going to do some big things. If I see any danger. I hope you can protect yourself."

"I won't hold you back!"

"I don't mean to be a hindrance. I mean..." The flaming-haired girl let out a long breath. "Don't worry about me when you are in danger, you can just run."

She got no response.

Because Kelsey just gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and stared at her without saying a word.

This might also count as a response.

As a result, the corners of the girl's eyes twitched, she turned her gaze, and looked at the fireproof girl beside her.

"I didn't feel the aura of a strong person around me, and this is not the abyssal church that I arrived at in the last teleportation—fireproof girl, where did we move to?"

..............................

"This is the forest near the deep church, miss."——After a few minutes, the fireproof woman gave a reply.

"The teleportation has been hindered. It should be that the white monks were alerted when we arrived last time - I feel that there is a power barrier in this forest that confuses the spatial coordinates. No matter how you teleport here, you should not be able to reach the depths of the dense forest. where the church is."

"...How long has it been since we were last here?"

"Eleven days, Miss. Salary King Eldridge should have stabilized its shape, and I can still feel the breath of the firewood here. This proves that it has control over this church. Perhaps it has organized A guard has been raised, perhaps it is waiting for your return."

Miss Steele, lower your eyes.

Coming for the second time... Indeed, when I came for the first time, my body hadn't been strengthened at all.The strength is very weak, and it is not like in the world of godslayers that you can use various means to urge your own body to obtain a temporary burst.After all, it was a body of ashes, and what flowed in its veins was fire rather than blood.And since it is already burning, it is nonsense to want to burn it again without flesh and blood.

At that time, his visit should be regarded as a temptation - some unknown force, some kind of spying or coveting on the awakened king.

——Although the miracle of teleportation is profound, it is not so mysterious that no one can match it on this continent.So this enchantment should be the alert limit set by Eldridge.Even Eldridge probably didn't know about it, and it was handled casually by her high priests.

——Eldridge will eventually reach Cold Valley, and Pope Salivan will be in the same pit.With the assistance of Sullivan, it will bypass the guards of the Silver Knight and sneak into Anor Londe.Swallowed the weak Shadow Sun, Gwyndolin into his belly.

——It should not have negotiated with Sullivan yet...

Miss Shirter clenched her fist lightly, and she could feel the flames of sin burning inside this body.Many negative emotions emerged from the depths of my heart and were suppressed by my own will.However, compared to the previous ease and freehand brushwork, the current self has to spend more effort in dealing with this infinite sin.

——Is the intellectual damage limiting my carrying capacity?

——Indeed, if I recover from my injuries for another month and a half, then even on this continent of fire and light, I can still display a mid-to-late stage combat power that is similar to the world view of the godslayer.But now, I'm just a salary king... a salary king who is slightly stronger than other salary kings.

——It’s okay to wait a while, let’s recover.Find out if Sullivan is coming in person.And if possible, keep the root of the conspiracy on the mainland, the initiator of all the tragedies in Dark Souls III, here.and--

The girl glanced at Kelsey indiscriminately.The lynx lady was standing there quietly now, as if she wanted to say something but closed her mouth tightly.

——Sure enough, I still can't put her here and ignore her.Even if she was told to run away when she was in trouble... But with her personality, it is really unlikely that she would become a deserter.

——Just for... no, take care of her.

So she let out a sigh of relief and made a decision.

"This means that we still have plenty of time, and we don't need to be so urgent... Although the fire is gradually extinguished, it is only gradually extinguished. It will take a long time for the order of time and space to collapse, and before that. We can methodically Figure out the situation here and let it run in the most appropriate direction-"

Her speech was interrupted, because she saw that Kelsey's eyes that wanted to speak had become so intense that they were about to materialize—and this made her tilt her head in doubt, looking at the lynx lady.

"Sirtel..." Kelsey pursed her lips lightly, as if she was being careful with every word.

"I noticed something through the perception of Mon3tr. In the dense forest about two kilometers behind you, there seems to be a convoy approaching..."

"It might be some local people, priests, or a supply wagon." Miss Stelter raised her eyebrows, but she wasn't surprised. "You don't need to pay too much attention, but you can also try to get some information from there."

"But..." However, Kelsey's words were not exhausted.

"I also heard that many children were crying."

..............................

"Quiet! Meatmen, you are walking on the road of glory!"

The priest dressed in white had a fleshy face and a glint of light in his eyes.He was riding a horse, with the heavy iron book in his hand, waving it menacingly, and it was blown by the wind.

Around the convoy, there are still several priests dressed in the same way.There are men and women, but they are basically fat and apparently eat meat all the year round.

A dozen ragged men and women were chained behind a wagon containing an equal number of children in iron cages.They screamed before the priest swung the iron book.And after swinging their flails, they weep.

And the priests just laughed lowly.

"Why cry, why suffer. Your soul and blood will be integrated with the Supreme Holy One, and through the mouth of the Holy One, you will reach the Land of Bliss."

They looked at them, salivating.

Shirtel missed, or overlooked one thing - that is, Saint Eldridge is not an orthodox salary king.It is not a hero who has gone through the fire-passing pilgrimage, but a fake that acquires the qualification to become firewood by devouring food and accumulating a huge amount of souls.And the food it devours is the flesh and blood of the person whose soul resides.

Because on this continent, spreading fire is an honor above all else.To go on a pilgrimage and be a firewood is certainly the way of a hero.But if no one can become a hero, then, for the continuation of the world, even some filthy and despicable means will be tolerated or acquiesced by the world, the gods and kings as long as it creates an instant fact.

If you don't go on the table, but enter the stove, you won't pursue it anymore.

But Eldridge was the first king who became a saint based on human flesh and blood.

And the church it formed would naturally follow suit.

Perhaps when the flames are strong, they will be restrained.However, at the moment when King Xin was awakened, these devout followers of Youyuan would naturally offer food for their only Lord.

Like this time, like now.

And at some special times, these secluded seekers are more willing to practice the path of the Lord.

Wind blows.

There's something unique about the wind...a burning sensation, a destruction.The feeling of being hungry...

Someone... no, something, hungry.

The priest who was driving stopped the car, and the car stopped at a safe and quiet place—as if even wild beasts were afraid of these humanoid beasts, and even the sound of insects could not be heard.

"I think this is a good place for Holy Communion." A priest licked his tongue. "Adults like tender meat, and those old, clogged, sour holy things may not be suitable for adults' mouths."

"It's a good idea, priest. My horse and I are hungry. The holy way is waiting for us to practice." Another priest looked at the trembling man and woman.

"Maybe we can find a voluntary believer?" The plump female prayer woman chuckled, she suddenly raised her hand and grabbed the head of a child in the iron cage!

"Anli!" A bound woman suddenly screamed.And the next moment, her face turned pale.

Because the eyes of the priests all fell on her, like butcher knives, picking up and down fat and thin.

"Oh, believer. Is this child called Anli?" The prayer teacher smiled lowly, with saliva flowing from the corner of her mouth. "Perhaps we can use our authority a little bit. Let him be last in the list of adults? Of course, this requires the sincere prayer of a pious man."

"Are you willing to pray? Believers. Or we can also arrange a unique, long, glorious path for this lovely child?"

The woman was trembling, tears welling in her eyes.The child in the iron cage screamed to call for mother, but the prayer master pinched his head forcefully.

The child in the cage let out a suppressed cry.

"I do!" the woman screamed, then fell to her knees. "I would like to... pray to the Holy Messenger."

The priests opened their mouths in cries of contentment.

And when they got off their horses and prepared all kinds of... ritual utensils.The priest at the outermost corner suddenly tilted his head in doubt.

"What's that?" it murmured.

And at the end of its line of sight, in the depths of the dense forest, a red line of fire glowing with darkness is rushing towards her, or the direction of this convoy!

Iniquity—incurring the fire of sin!
