Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 190: Evil Whispering (Part 2)
"I remember, I will always remember, the victim's mother was furious when she testified in court," Slimani said, "but what could she do? She was just a peasant woman who had been a widow for many years. The bond for the second appeal cannot be afforded."
"Grand Inquisitor Brennan, that unselfish Inquisitor," said Thales, who had been silent, "he didn't say anything when he went to court?"
Slimani shook his head.
"I'm lucky that Brennan wasn't listed for that trial," the defense said with a wry smile, "but so what? He knows the law, and we, we know the law— The rule of law in the Emerald City is the best among the stars."
Tales was silent.
"What happened to that peasant woman?" Xilai asked.
Slimani shook his head blankly:
"I don't know, I didn't go...don't dare to ask."
He rubbed his face:
"Just like that, I got away with it, my boss said I exceeded his expectations... Anyway, he kept his promise and gave me a chance to be a vigilante, 'you'll be a good vigilante' he So, good vigilante, haha..."
Slimani couldn't stop laughing, sarcastic.
"But what else can I do? Can I say no? My wife has been in poor health and spirit since giving birth, and the official vigilante's salary..." He sniffed, eyes wet, "We , we can finally get a big house and afford a servant."
But his eyes darkened:
"But just after I put on my uniform with confidence, instead of a baton, they gave me pen and paper..."
Thiers frowned in anticipation of something.
Slimani nods painfully:
"So, under the arrangement of my boss, I started to write a second investigation or conclusion report, then a third one, a fourth one...the next one, the next one..."
"The granary outside the city ignited and caught fire at the end of the year, and I was abruptly torn apart and improperly stored; my colleagues in the same hall committed manslaughter while driving away hawkers, and I tried my best to dig out the deceased who had underlying diseases; ha West Town has written four circulars and they can't explain the bad thing about women's abduction and trafficking, and this is the fifth I wrote to them, instructing them to lock up protesting crazy women..."
"When you thought you could escape the test, you were wrong," Priest Chadvi shook his head with a sad expression, "every escape and trickery just made the delayed test more cruel."
Slimani speaks faster and faster, like a madman:
"There are also security officers such as Caqueret, who is in charge of receiving the prince. Do you know how he was promoted from the head of the jailer to the security officer? Not only that, but also the inexplicably lost loot and blood bottles from the Canal Security Hall. Helping the drug trafficking business in the warehouse, there have been several cases of murder that are unclear whether it is offshore or high seas..."
The more Thales listened, the more uncomfortable it became.
"The Angel of Tamer has something to say!"
Chadvi suddenly raised the volume, interrupting Slimani.
"Show the sunset of interest to the devout, and what you are willing to pay will be paid," the scriptures in his mouth seemed to have a force, making everyone a little sober, "The fate of the river of **** verifies people's hearts, those who owe It will be repaid in the end.”
Slimani wakes up, staring blankly at the stove.
"At the end, I thought, I thought I'd just get out of the guard hall, but, but..."
He looked at Thales, his eyes full of confusion and helplessness:
"Look, I once wanted to be a good man, a good husband, a good father, a good vigilante, and even a good defense attorney."
"Instead of sitting behind a desk, confounding black and white, confounding right and wrong, framing and slandering."
Slimani said:
"Once."
No one spoke, and the tunnel was silent, except for the occasional groan of Kathleen's dreams.
"Uncle Hauser, Aunt Gadama, I, I don't want to go to the ground," Dorothy put down her romance novel in disappointment. "It's... so complicated."
Gadamar hugs her.
Slimani took a deep breath and came to his senses.
"Then, maybe the sunset goddess knew what I did, and punished me..."
His eyes are frozen and his expression is dull:
"She doesn't bless us anymore, my mother-in-law and I, we'll never have children again."
"Never again."
Slimani's words echoed through the tunnel, vulnerable.
"But if, if your child was born healthy, everything was different from the beginning," Woniak's voice came out, his words trembling slightly, "then it will be all right after that. ?"
Slimani's eyes clear for a moment.
He froze for a while, then chuckled:
"Maybe."
"No!" Xilai said coldly, making Slimani tremble, "Of course not."
Tales sighed and patted Xilai's hand:
"We don't know."
"The test of the goddess is everywhere," Chadway said, his voice was extraordinarily gentle, "the birth of a child is a test, the landlord's blackmail is a test, the boss's threat is a test, and writing every report is also a test , every moment of life is a test.”
"Cigarette addiction is also a test." Xilai said disdainfully.
Chad Wei was stagnant, and his face was a little overwhelmed, but he still insisted on finishing:
"If your child was born healthy, Mr. Slimani, congratulations, you have avoided this unfortunate test compared to many..."
He paused for a moment and continued:
"But even without this test, if you are still you, with no change, no awakening, and no self-reflection, will you do better next time when you face a different test?"
Slimani smiled bitterly.
"Yeah, look at me now," he said disappointedly, "No, I'm going to a dead end, and I'm at a dead end."
Chadwei frowned slightly: "But..."
But he was interrupted.
"Priest Chadvi, you said," Srimani was a little lost, and there was some hope in his words, "My daughter, incomplete as she is, will her soul return to the kingdom of heaven, to the goddess of the setting sun?"
Chadvi took a deep breath: "Of course..."
"Of course not." Xilai said coldly.
Chad Wei choked.
"The heaven of the gods is just made up, to deceive the powerful and powerful to pay for their sins, and to deceive the powerless and incompetent to keep their peace. Everyone, everyone's soul will go to Hell River after death, where it will be completely Destruction, there are no exceptions." Xilai said coldly.
Slimani's eyes dimmed.
Tales glanced at Xilai, but the latter's expression was cold.
Slimani let out a sigh of relief, as if giving up something;
"Then you say, the sin is as deep as mine, can I see her after death?"
Xilei was about to speak, but this time, Thales held her hand tightly.
"I don't know," Thales tried his best to be gentle, "but at least, at least I believe that when you speak your heart out and sincerely repent - you have passed the test of this moment."
Xilai raised her eyebrows, but Thales held her wrist tightly to prevent her from speaking to spoil the atmosphere.
Slimani's breath shuddered.
He shook his head with a wry smile: "It's too late."
"Not later."
Chadwei took over the conversation and smiled, but unfortunately, with his respectful face, he looked like a strange uncle who deceived children:
"It's never too late."
But Slimani seemed to be encouraged, he sniffed, his eyes were wet, and he nodded gratefully:
"Thank you."
The tunnel was quiet for a while, but Priest Chadwe finally broke the silence with a slap on the thigh.
"Okay, the sun is starting to go down," he patted his head and pointed to the top of his head, "I have to get back to the temple, or if they check the post..."
"Then we should go back to the nest too, Bobo, keep up," Hauser stood up and greeted Aunt Gadama and the rest, "If you need any help, come to us at any time, you guys Remember how we got to the tunnel, Wyya?"
The pile of tunnels that go up and down?
Tales said with a smile; "Of course."
Ah, fortunately, the mountains accommodated his footsteps.
Let him never get lost.
Watching the large group of people like Chadwei and Hauser leave sparsely (Woniak punched Thales hard before leaving), Thales exhaled.
"Then it's time for us to go too, Luo, Teto, and brother, um, Fatty Wyatt, you stay here and watch them, someone will come down for shifts in two hours," Thales greeted Rolfe and Glover after the rest, "Don't forget our schedule today, Wyana."
Xilei snorted disdainfully, but stood up anyway.
Slimani looked up in surprise:
"Ah, you're leaving? What about me?"
He looked in horror at Catherine, who was sleeping on the opposite side, and then at Glover and Rolf, who looked bad:
"You're going to keep me with a hunted mob boss and these two rogue outlaws?"
Glover and Rolf stared at the defender and snorted in unison, but when they found someone snorted at the same time as them, they turned to look at each other again, and snorted a second time in unison.
"Forget it," Thales frowned as he watched their relationship, "Two hours is too long, I'll find someone to work shifts later."
He turns his head to Slimani:
"Trust me, Manny, it's safer for you to stay here now than to go out with us."
"No! Boy! I don't, I don't know either of them at all! You've got to stay with me yourself-" Slimani wanted to say more, but Glover and Rolf were left behind On the right, both clasped his arms and dragged him back without resistance.
Tales and Xilai looked at each other and turned to leave.
Seconds later, Srimani finally stopped struggling, but something came to his mind.
"Wait, Brother Wyah, there's something else!"
Tales turned his head.
Slimani hesitated for a while, but finally made up his mind and nodded earnestly:
"Thank you, thank you. Either for saving my life or for...my daughter."
Tales was silent for a while, then nodded:
"I see."
Xilei next to her raised her eyebrows:
"Only him? You don't thank me?"
Slimani gave her a look and leaned back in disgust.
Tales glanced at Xilai, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"So take care, Brother Wyah, although I know this is not your real name," Slimani snorted and sat down on the bed, "Yes, I remembered, the real Wyah Ka. Servant Officer Suo is not your thirteen or fourteen-year-old appearance, after all, he still has to protect the Duke of Xinghu, and he can't be younger than a fourteen-year-old prince..."
Huh?
A fourteen-year-old prince?
Slimani was stunned at this point.
Tales was also stunned.
Glover and Rolf frowned.
In the narrow and dim tunnel, several people blinked.
At that moment, the defender looked at Thales carefully, widened his eyes in shock, and shouted:
"Ah sunset, ah! ah! ah! ah! You are, you are—that who!"
Tales' complexion changed:
"Manny! Calm down!"
But Slimani obviously couldn't calm down. He pointed at Thales excitedly and shouted:
"My lord, you're... a jerk! I should, I should have thought of it, there is no other cub in this world who dares to use the name of a prince's attendant to go on the streets and deceive, and there are maids by his side when traveling... "
Xilei was originally watching a good show with a pestle on the side, but his face sank when he heard that.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Thales rushed forward in three or two steps, and cooperated with Glover and Rolf, who were on the left and one on the left. The three threw the excited Slimani on the bed and died. Cover his mouth.
"Manny, listen!"
Tales can't hold back the struggling Manny:
"Listen, you're safe here, safe, this big guy is the royal guard, and the other one is... someone I trust. So there's no need to be so nervous, okay?"
Manny, whose mouth was covered, understood something, and nodded "woohoowoo".
"So, you stay here, keep a low profile, take care of yourself, and wait for me to send someone to get you out of the Emerald City, okay?"
"woohoo!"
"Very good, then I'm going to let you go now, don't get excited, don't yell, don't struggle, okay?"
"Ooooooooooo!"
Tales made a look, and the three of them let go together, freeing Slimani, who was so crushed that his wig fell off.
"His Royal Highness, you actually... oh my God, I was personally... by the Duke of Xinghu... By the way, why didn't you reveal your identity earlier?"
As soon as Slimani got out of trouble, he couldn't wait to speak, he danced and couldn't hide his excitement:
"If you had identified yourself earlier, I wouldn't have to, I wouldn't have..."
“Someone has to believe that.” Xilai rolled his eyes.
"Oh, calm down, Manny," Thales had to stretch out his hand again, signalling him to calm down, "At least, now you know, don't you?"
"As the priest Chadvi said, it's never too late, no matter when, it's never too late."
At that moment, Srimani was stunned.
"See you then."
Tales waved his hand, and left with Xilai.
But just as he turned around, Slimani's voice sounded again: "His Royal Highness Thales!"
Tales sighed in pain.
Why are you here again?
Slimani took a deep breath, and just as he was about to continue, Glover and Rolf squeezed up from left to right.
"Listen, little Manny, if you dare to say one more word, just say..." Glover stared at him coldly.
"Huh! Huh?" Rolfe made a ferocious gesture with a ferocious expression, clenching his chin.
Crap.
Slimani swallowed.
But...
"Diop, the mothballed wool dealer!"
The defender tried his best to speak out before he was killed by the prince's two terrifying killers: "He is involved with many dignitaries!"
Tales changed his face and turned around.
"Oh?"
"Because, because Diop can do the dirty work for them!"
Slimani said anxiously:
“Diop has many illegal contacts in his hands, from lockpickers and thieves on the street to outlaws of the Blood Bottle Gang, these dirty jobs, the dignitaries only need to go through Diop’s channels to pay the bills. , no handle is left."
Tales pondered for a while, then looked at Xilai and nodded.
"I already know - Diop is the one who manages the secret accounts for the Kongming Palace."
At Thales' gesture, Glover and Rolfe reluctantly let go of Slimani.
"What? And this layer?"
Slimani was startled, but under the bad eyes of Glover and Rolfe, he quickly went straight to the subject:
"Oh yes, Your Highness, what I want to tell you is that Diop wasn't the only one who died... One of Diop's clients died shortly before his death."
A Diop client?
Tales' eyes narrowed:
"Who?"
"Jeff Rene," said Slimani through gritted teeth, and said an unfamiliar name, "he was my boss at the police station many years ago, for negligence - that's just a statement, in fact It was a political strife - fired."
"Jeff Rene?" Thales muttered the name without a clue.
Damn, just like Lausanne II.
They still have too little information about the Emerald City.
But Xilai next to him reacted:
"Wait, you mean your boss? Could it be..."
Slimani sighed:
"Yes, the one who promoted me from a temporary worker to a vigilante. You can call him my nobleman, benefactor, or..."
He was silent for a second and continued:
"After being dismissed, Rene relied on his past savings and connections to support his later years in the blood bottle gang's territory."
Tales frowned:
"This Rene was Diop's client? How did he die? Why?"
Slimani nodded:
“According to the Police Department’s death report, Rene was involved in a gang fight while playing poker in an underground casino and died in the sink. When found, his neck was slit and the A pool of water is dyed red."
Tales was wondering, but Glover remembered something and was startled.
"Gang fight?"
The zombie gave Rolf a look:
"Wait, aren't you talking about the blood bottle gang's underground casino? The one that Garmentia managed? Two bodyguards died in one night?"
Slimani was equally surprised:
"Yes, it's Garmentia's Harvest Casino, how do you know?"
The zombie turns to the doubtful Thales:
"Because Garmendia - some head of the casino - reported it at a Blood Bottle gang meeting: his casino was attacked by the fraternity, two bodyguards were killed, one of... He also died in the sink, dyeing the water red, just like this Rene."
Tales frowned: "What do you mean? Rene was killed by the Brotherhood?"
Slimani sighed.
"I don't know about the rest, but as an old subordinate and a former gambling partner, I know that Rene stopped going to the casino a year ago, not because the bad gambler has changed his mind, but because Sitting on the mountain and emptying his debts, he will be charged for debts if he shows up, you must know that he came to me to borrow money six months ago..."
Tales looked up:
"He shouldn't be at the casino."
Slimani nodded:
"He shouldn't."
"So I continued to check...According to the information I bought from the hair salon, Rene didn't die in the casino," Slimani continued, "The truth is, he died in his own home, when he died. That's it, the neck was cut open, and the blood bleed to death."
Xilei was puzzled:
"Wait, then why did the vigilante report that he died in..."
"Because that report was redacted, I know this way too well," Slimani sighed, "Rene didn't get involved in a gang fight and died, his body was transported to the blood bottle gang underground. Casinos, tucked into a real struggle—with evidence, locations, and circumstantial witnesses, with few openings.”
Tales reacted:
"Someone is covering up Rene's death as an accident."
Slimani nodded and took a deep breath:
"And in the Emerald City, who has the ability and courage to use the blood bottle gang's territory to cover up the fate?"
"Empty Palace."
Tales concluded:
"The Blood Bottle Gang received an order from Jenn to cover up Rene's death?"
"Why?"
Healy spoke in surprise, her position here confounding Glover and Rolfe even more.
Slimani shook his head, but his expression became more serious:
"I don't know, I didn't take it seriously at first until I continued to investigate: On the same night, another person disappeared from the Blood Bottle Gang."
Another one?
Tales frowned: "Who?"
Slimani swallowed his throat and told the prince his information: "A boxer, who fought black fists in the underground ring, according to the police report, he was missing, and a few days later, his body was in the river. was found."
Glover was startled again:
"Wait, it doesn't happen to be the underground arena of the Blood Bottle Gang, the Black Fist business managed by Gutierrez?"
Slimani turned his head, puzzled:
"How did you know that?"
"It's the same as the previous one," Glover stared at Thales in a daze. "The boxers were attacked in the underground arena of the Blood Bottle Gang. A few days later, the bodies were found in the river."
Slimani patted the forehead:
"So, the same for this fighter, yet another redacted death report!"
Tales asked:
"Who is that fighter? Why is Jenn covering up his death?"
"Here's the problem," Slimani's breath was quickened, "that boxer, especially when his name was linked to Rene and Diop, everything was terrifying... …”
"What kind of terror law?"
"Let's try it together and see!"
She turns from her chair, her voice bright and cheerful as always:
"Don't worry, it's definitely not as exaggerated as a horror movie..."
"Not yet," he shook his head, looking back at his computer screen, "you know I don't like this..."
"Oops, try something new! That's a horror-themed secret room..."
The voice was still enthusiastic, urging him to try something new—
【Wake up. ]
Huh?
He looks up from the code on the screen, slightly startled.
What wakes up?
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Did you listen to me!" the voice urged him.
He shook his head.
Ah, it must be because the model has been running too much in the past few days, and it has run out of hallucinations, this **** R language...
【Wake up, Thales. ]
Tales?
Who is that?
Looks like a foreigner's name?
He sat blankly at the computer.
Strange, why do I always feel that there is a voice in my heart speaking to myself?
[Playing with time is Bloodthorn's forte, it has caused countless heroes to fail, but you, you, Thales Shining Star, the one destined to end fate, you should not stop here, you are not that weak, Don't succumb to the clumsy tricks in front of you...]
Time?
Bloodthorn?
End fate?
What?
Have you read too many Brendan Sanderson novels?
No, I've been watching Stormlight for months...
"Wu! Yu! Jen!" The voice began to call out his full name, apparently ignoring her, she was about to get angry.
"Alright, alright, here we come... um, what did you just say?"
He replied to her words, rubbing his ears, feeling flustered for some reason.
Strange, what happened?
【You still have your mission to complete. ]
Damn, the voice in my heart is real, and it continues...
He's breathing faster and faster, blinking faster...
"Wu~葺~Ren~" The voice became more and more ethereal and illusory, and moved away from him.
As if in another world.
No!
He panics more and more and tries to reach for her, only to find that he can't find them.
What's the matter?
Where are my hands?
No, no, no, no.
There's nothing wrong with this!
【Wake up, Thales. ]
It feels, like, like...
Like I was... dreaming?
The moment he woke up to this point, his forehead jumped.
As if something broke free.
【Wake up! ]
The next moment, Thales took a deep breath and woke up!
"Ha, ha, ha—" He was in shock, slapping his chest, gasping for breath, apologizing to the others in the tunnel, "Sorry, just lost my mind..."
But Thales was stunned.
I don't know when, in the ghoul tunnel, Xilai, Slimani, Glover, and Rolfe all lay down on the ground.
Unconscious.
He was alone, standing alone in the dark.
Tread.
Footsteps sounded.
Tales was startled and turned around!
"It's rare," an unfamiliar voice said from the darkness. "You're not affected at all, Your Royal Highness."
In that instant, the crime of Hell River exploded!
It's like a beast that just woke up when the danger was already at hand.
Being caught off guard.
Infuriated.
Burning with rage.
"I'm honored and relieved that not everyone is able to chat with me in my power - they call it 'The Evil Whisper', which is said to be taken from "The Teaching of the Setting Sun" , how ironic, those monsters actually quoted the classics of sunset belief, are they worthy..."
Tales subconsciously pulled out the JC dagger, but his brain was still in chaos.
What's the matter?
What's the matter?
I was talking to Srimani just now...
Why all of a sudden——
"I guess the guy next to you is the one the barber said, the apologist who asked around?"
In the darkness, the voice continued.
The senses of **** were stimulated, and Thales saw the opponent in the dark:
A man who was tightly wrapped in black cloth from head to toe, even wearing jet-black goggles, was walking slowly towards him on the other side of the tunnel.
Tales is a shock!
"You are..."
He reacted and found the description from his memory, terrified and shocked:
"Lausanne II?"
The man in black in the darkness sneered.
He looked at the ground behind Thales - Slimani closed his eyes, drooling and smiling.
"Looks like I'm not too late, before he starts talking - and thanks to his loud voice, I can hear it clearly on the ground and I'm in the right place."
Oops!
Tales gritted his teeth, raised his dagger at the enemy, and kicked Rolf and Glover **** the ground at the same time.
But one of them trembled desperately, the other muttered something "apple" and showed no sign of waking up.
What, what's going on?
How could Lausanne II, the man I only heard about in the report, appear here?
Should not the ghoul tunnel ~IndoMTL.com~ be a place known to the very few?
The most important thing is... now what?
One step at a time, the enemy slowly appeared in front of the stove.
"Ah! No, no, no!"
With an exclamation, Thales turned his head: Kathleen, who was sleeping on the bed, woke up and looked at the man in black in disbelief:
"Lausanne?"
It was him!
Tales took a deep breath and forced himself to move—perhaps due to the influence of the opponent's ability, he now felt cold and numb in his hands and feet, and his movements were sluggish and difficult.
Get moving.
Get moving, Thales.
tmd get moving!
"Hello, Little Knife, we meet again," the man in black waved calmly at Kathleen, making the latter even more terrified, "You actually woke up—oh, it hurts, they Forgot to give you anesthesia?"
Catherine held the ground in pain and tried to get up, but then fell to the ground.
Tales took a deep breath and forced himself to pull out an "iron body pose".
No way.
Here, only he can fight alone.
"Iron body style - Northern military swordsmanship? This is rare," Luosang nodded with interest and patted the sword at his waist, "Don't worry, Your Royal Highness, I will not do anything with you."
"Why, what, what?" Thales said with difficulty.
Now, he just feels like he's struggling to move his teeth.
"Because my employer specifically told you not to touch a single hair of you."
The dark Lausanne II hummed disdainfully:
