Chapter 10 Forget it
==============
Nothing that happened in the castle escaped the dark watch.
Arthur lowered his jaw and his dark red hair swayed. He still maintained the posture in which Lin Qiao left without moving a bit, just like a flawless statue.
He just watched quietly.
……
at the same moment.
Lin Qiao was running in the corridor.
He thought that killing the countess was the end of the story, but he didn't expect that there were terrible dark creatures hidden in the castle.
One after another, the skinned corpses "resurrected from the dead". They staggered forward and stretched out their skinny and twisted fingers, trying to drag the living into hell.
Holding the brass key tightly in his hand, Lin Qiao quickened his pace, trying to get rid of these living corpses.
But the living corpses longed for the breath of the living, and kept chasing after them.
Lin Qiao accidentally grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands and almost fell into a living corpse.
His heart skipped a beat, and he took out the cross in his arms and smashed it hard.
It's a pity that the sacred seal inside the cross is a one-time item, and now it's just a piece of useless scrap iron.The cross hit the living corpse's head with a bang.
The living corpse tilted its head against the half-exposed cross, which was quite funny.
But now is not the time to laugh.
Lin Qiao took the opportunity to tear off the black robe indiscriminately, and ran away.
The black robe was contaminated with the breath of the living, fell into the hands of the skinned corpse, and was immediately torn to pieces.
From this, we can see what will happen if he is caught by a skinned living corpse.
Lin Qiao's skin tightened, and he jumped up the stairs in two or three steps.
The skinned living corpses chased after them, getting more and more excited.
Lin Qiao turned a corner and was about to rush through the corridor in one breath, when there was a sudden noise in the darkness ahead.
There is an ominous premonition.
Thinking of this, he stopped in his tracks.
A stench of stench came over his face, and then, a peeled face came up directly.
If Lin Qiao hadn't stopped in his tracks, he would probably have played with the skinned living corpse in front of him.
Lin Qiao and the skinned zombie looked at each other, without changing expression, they directly overturned the decorative picture frame in the corridor.
There was a loud bang.
The heavy picture frame was pressed down, and the skinned living corpse fell to the bottom, unable to move.
Lin Qiao was about to cross it, but he didn't expect that several bloody figures appeared indistinctly in front of him.
Lin Qiao: ...how much skin the skinning witch has peeled is enough for a corpse party!
There are skinned living corpses before and after, and there is no way to retreat.
The stench came from all directions, Lin Qiao was blocked in a corner and could not move.
He leaned against the wall, breathing unsteadily.Because he had been running, the black hair on his forehead drooped messily, and a thin blush appeared on his cheeks. He didn't know whether he was feeling desperate or afraid at this time.
A poor and lovely lamb.
……
Arthur saw everything in his eyes, but he didn't intervene to stop it, but waited patiently.
As long as Lin Qiao calls out the name of Abyss in his heart, all dangers will disappear.
Light is fleeting and will eventually be swallowed by darkness.
Only the abyss is the eternal destination.
Arthur looked forward to this moment.
He glanced down unhurriedly.
The corridors were dark and dark.
The living corpses staggered, leaving muddy footprints on the ground one after another.They roared and approached, surrounding the boy, whenever they had the chance, they would pounce on him and tear the poor boy into pieces.
The boy's body trembled slightly, and there was a gleam of water in Xingren's eyes, like a little lamb lost from the flock, ignorant and at a loss.
Is he begging now, or is he praying to God?
At this moment, Arthur finally heard the sound of devout prayers.
——Whoever mentions His name will spread his words to the abyss.
Arthur opened his eyes, and there was a ripple in the darkness.
Satisfied, he almost couldn't wait to tear open the darkness, ready to embrace his own sacrifice.
Darkness dissipated.
Arthur landed in another room, but... the prayer who appeared in front of him was not Lin Qiao.
The Countess prostrated herself on the ground and prayed with the most pious voice: "The controller of the abyss, the god of evil that does not belong to the world, I pray to you in the name of the Skinning Witch—"
Arthur's face slowly sank.
He obviously has an overly perfect face, but somehow it makes people feel eerie.
The countess sensed the dark and ominous aura, she lowered her head more and more, and begged humbly: "I am willing to pay any price and dedicate all the lives and souls in this castle to the abyss, as long as I can get the black Fat boy..."
Arthur's eyes deepened.
In the darkness, a mysterious and terrifying voice echoed: "Are you sure?"
The countess didn't think much, and hurriedly said: "I'm sure!" Her face was fierce, "I want to get that black-haired boy, skin him while he is still conscious, and hang his body in front of the tombstone , to make his soul howl day and night without sleep--"
The Countess spoke more and more excitedly, but she didn't notice that the temperature on her side dropped, and the darkness boiled and filled with angry flames.
Jojo is his sacrifice.
A dirty, stupid skinned witch who dares to think of his sacrifice.
Arthur just wanted to teach the disobedient sacrifice a little lesson, let Jojo know that the outside world is dangerous, and only staying by his side is safe.
He never thought of hurting Jojo.
But this molted insect actually wanted to hurt the sacrifice that tortured him.
Arthur's gaze was cold and dead. After a moment of silence, he uttered a word: "Okay."
The Countess didn't know the danger was approaching, and thought that the Lord of the Abyss had agreed to her prayer, and immediately used various praise words to compliment the greatness of the Abyss.
Arthur was unmoved, and his voice was still cold: "However, I have to accept some price."
The countess agreed without even thinking about it: "This is what it should be. I am willing to give everything to the abyss."
After she finished speaking, she had already started fantasizing about the skin of the black-haired boy.
If that white, soft, milk-soaked skin could be worn on the body, how youthful and beautiful it would be...
The Countess kept wriggling, imagining how she would look like with a new skin, her saliva almost flowed down.
At this moment, Arthur said coldly: "Then I want your...soul."
The Countess was taken aback for a moment, thinking she had misheard, and said in a panic, "You, are you joking with me?"
Arthur's eyes didn't waver at all.
The countess finally understood that this was not a joke, she wanted to run away, but under the gaze of the abyss, she didn't even have the courage to resist.
She was like a poultry that had been strangled by the neck, unable to struggle or break free.
The expression on the countess' face changed from horror to despair, and finally accepted death peacefully.
She was swallowed by the darkness without leaving even a trace.
The skinned witch who skinned countless skins died quietly.
Arthur lowered his fingers, his face still unmoved.
He turned around, and thick darkness surged in like a wave, gathering behind him.The black shadow twisted, and it could be seen faintly that it was a demon with black horns on its head.
……
Lin Qiao was still in the corridor.
He didn't pray to the abyss, but held a skinning knife in his hand, confronting those skinned living corpses.
The skinned living corpses were all skinned alive before they were alive, so they had a natural fear of skinning knives, they didn't dare to approach them, and they were unwilling to leave like this.
Lured by the breath of the living, more and more skinned corpses gathered.
Lin Qiao had a hunch that if they reached a certain number, they would lose their fear of skinning knives.
And at that time, he will only have a dead end.
Lin Qiao seized the only gap, thinking about how to get out.
The more danger approached, the calmer he became.
The slender, white fingers slowly loosened, and they gripped the skinning knife again.
The black hair was scattered and scattered, and underneath was a fair and weak face, but his eyes were firm, and he never flinched or feared.
At this time, shrinking back is tantamount to death.
Lin Qiao was not afraid of those bloody faces, and went straight up.
His calm analysis.
There are relatively few skinned corpses on the right side. You can rush out from there with a skinning knife, and then use the decorations in the corridor to stop their footsteps. Take the opportunity to find Arthur on the third floor...
Even at this time, he has not forgotten Arthur.
He was the one who brought Arthur out of the abyss, so he naturally shouldered certain responsibilities.He wants to protect Arthur, and let Arthur know that there are not only eerie abyss in the world, and most importantly, stop believing in evil-gods!
Just when Lin Qiao decided to put all his eggs in one basket, a skinned living corpse in front of him suddenly "crashed" and fell straight back.
The living corpses in front collided with the living corpses behind, and fell down one after another.
Like dominoes, one by one, the skinned zombies fell to the ground, twitched, and immediately lost their breath.
Lin Qiao: "..."
Why did he fall down before he even made a move?
But now is not the time to explore, he rushed out directly and escaped from the location of the living corpse.
As soon as he escaped from this corridor and turned a corner ahead, he bumped into a familiar figure at the other end.
"Arthur..." Lin Qiao froze for a moment, grabbed Arthur quickly, and asked with concern, "Why are you here? Are you okay?"
Arthur's state was a little bit wrong, a pair of black grape-like eyes stared straight at Lin Qiao: "Looking for you."
Lin Qiao thought that Arthur had been frightened, so he looked him up and down, and after confirming that he was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Stop talking, let's get out of here quickly..."
He was afraid that those skinned corpses would live and die, and die and live again, so he dragged Arthur outside.
Arthur wanted to say something, but was interrupted, and could only stare at the boy's back.
He was deceived.
It is clearly a sacrifice of the abyss, but its heart is toward the light.
Even in the face of the threat of death, he would rather seek help from the God of Light than send a prayer to the abyss.
Faced with such behavior, Arthur should be outraged.
If other believers dare to do this, Arthur will drag that ignorant and ignorant person into the abyss.Let him serve the flame demon's plate, and leave the bones for the hyenas to eat, and even the soul will be torn to pieces by the ghosts.
But if it's Jojo... Arthur couldn't help hesitating when he thought of that scene.
There are many monsters in the abyss.
Ugly flame demons, rotten and smelly ghouls, screaming harpies...these are all creatures born from the cold darkness.
No temperature, no sanity.
But Jojo is different.
Qiaoqiao is not afraid of him, he will let go of the chains that imprison him, he will stroke his head with soft hands, and he will care about him with a nice and clear voice.
Even "protect" him.
From the beginning of his birth, Arthur would only be feared and feared, even those gods would not dare to approach the abyss.
The abyss has always been cold and lonely, shrouded in eternal darkness, cursed by the gods, leaving only killing, despair and death.
It wasn't until Jojo came that a different color appeared.
jojo...
Lin Qiao seemed to have sensed something, and turned around, her voice was a little hoarse after running for too long: "What's the matter, have you been frightened?"
He reached out to touch Arthur's forehead.
Lin Qiao was disheveled and embarrassed, but his eyes were bright and moving.He looked at it seriously, and Arthur's appearance was reflected in his clear pupils—as if this was his whole world.
Arthur felt a soft touch on his forehead and suddenly deflated.
Forget it...
He could give Jojo another chance—this was the favor and kindness from the gods.
Arthur made a decision to go against the abyss, he relaxed, and hooked Lin Qiao's finger silently.
Lin Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and clenched Arthur's hand behind his back, and said lightly, "Let's go."
……
Lin Qiao came to the door and opened it with the key found in the countess' boudoir.
Insert the brass key into the lockhole and turn it hard.
click-
The lock cylinder turned, the chain was undone, and the heavy lock fell to the ground.
Using both hands, Lin Qiao slowly pushed open the door.
A ray of light shone through the crack in the door.
I don't know when, the rain outside has stopped.
After the heavy rain is sunny.
The wind blowing on the face is moist and refreshing, mixed with the smell of soil.
Lin Qiao came to the trail among the trees and took a deep breath.Looking back, the castle stood erect in the shadows, returning to its original gloomy and dilapidated appearance.
The wallpaper was old, and there were skulls piled up in the corner; there was a gap in the floor, and a group of red-eyed mice gathered underneath; the skinned corpses fell on the ground in disorder, exuding a rotten smell...
When the merchants woke up, they were frightened by what they saw, and they all fled out, panicking.
"God of light, what happened?"
"Where is the Countess? I need an explanation!"
"Damn it, I was knocked out last night, can someone tell me what happened?"
Amidst the uproar, the merchants finally understood what had happened.
There have never been noble and rich countesses here, only cruel skinning witches.The skinning witch lured them here with witchcraft, trying to peel off their skins to preserve their youth.
The merchants narrowly escaped death, covered in cold sweat.
They didn't want to stay here anymore, and couldn't wait to leave with the goods. It didn't take long for them to see no one around the castle.
Lin Qiao stayed at the end and didn't leave in a hurry - mainly because his eyes were darkened and he didn't know where to go.
While he was hesitating, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of him.
The carriage opened, and the noble son poked his head out of it, and said arrogantly: "Go through this forest and go north to Liming City. If you want to go to Liming City, I can reluctantly take you for a ride."
Lin Qiao didn't know where he was going, but when he heard the noble son say that, his mind moved.
Dawn City.
In the original book, the protagonist was born in Dawn City.
The protagonist was originally the son of a downcast nobleman, but he was hugged wrongly at birth and reduced to a lowly slave. He was not found by the noble family until he was 16 years old.
I don't know how old the protagonist is now, and where the plot has progressed.
Lin Qiao didn't think too long, and decided to go to Dawn City.
He was sacrificed to the Lord of the Abyss as a sacrifice. Although he escaped from the abyss now, he provoked the existence in the abyss after all.
What if the Lord of the Abyss wanted to capture him back on a whim?
To plan ahead, he should first find the protagonist who is the Holy Son of Light, and think about how to deal with the Lord of the Abyss.
Arthur sat obediently in a corner of the carriage, inexplicably feeling a chill on the back of his neck: "...?"
