[Body trembling from a shot to the head, Mary staggered but did not collapse.
She continued to talk to the person in front of her with a low and hoarse voice caused by sothing blocking her windpipe Karina, you dontwant to keep looking..
With the hand holding her gun shaking, Karina tried to keep calm while yelling: I have to do this, all this evil must be destroyed!
It was then that Marys twisted and broken skull suddenly swelled into an unidentifiable mass of flesh; her appearance was beyond recognition at this point.
So, my present is your futurethis is Gods punishnt.[1]
Bang
Marys head burst open.
Fortunately, Karina quickly darted behind the sofa and avoided being hit by the blood.
Everything quieted.
Karina crawled up and stared at the puddle of goop with a sorrowful look on her face.
She reached out and clenched a necklace around her neck, hoping that the charm the priest gave her would bolster her courage.
The door of the room suddenly slamd open.
Karina had no ti to control her sentint and raise her gun before she got shot in the neck with a needle full of anesthetic.
She thudded to the ground heavily, white light clouding her mind.
Who?
The last thing she heard before she fell into a coma was a rough, male voice reporting: Your Excellency Bishop, weve found the Virgin Mary.
She rembered the na of the religious group recorded in the journal she foundthe Holy Sect.
Inside the ominous manor, several n dressed masquerading as bodyguards scooped up the unconscious blonde girl, and then left the building.
After a long ti, low laughter echoed from inside the empty ho.
JiejiejieJudgent Day has arrived
From Nightmare
The dark-haired and green-eyed teenager stared blankly at the driver in the front seat.
Please slow down.
The driver looked at the teenager sitting in the passenger seat via the rearview mirror. In the dark of a rainy night, this kid really had so montum.
A few drops of cold sweat beaded on the mans forehead before he slowed down obediently, maneuvering much more smoothly.
Peeking at the young man averting his dreadful green gaze, the driver nervously exhaled, releasing so stagnant air from his lungs.
Now that he thought about it, it was strange. Hed been in the industry for many years and weathered many storms, but got frightened by a little brat who hadnt even grown hair down there. It was really embarrassing.
Despite thinking such, the driver drove as honestly as a quail, not daring to play any tricks.
While remaining silent the entire ti.
The anxious chauffeur deliberately maintained a steady pace in order to appease the weird child behind him, but fortunately the town was small, so he quickly arrived at Zhou Yus house.
Zhou Yu got out of the car, walked to the drivers side, and handed over the taxi fare.
The driver quickly counted the bills, and then just as quickly turned the key and left.
Zhou Yu watched the taxi get farther and farther away, and, humming softly, turned around and unlocked the door.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhou Yu noticed that it was very dark, not even a single light was on.
Flicking the light switch allowed him to see the figure that was sitting on the couch.
It was a middle-aged man, flabby and wan.
Who was panting while holding a bag of powder.
Hah, haah, hahhhh-save -hah. Weird noises ca out of his mouth and his eyes shifted around constantly with a hint of despair.
Zhou Yu blinked, sitting indifferently on the chair opposite him, just quietly watching him moan and groan in pain.
I saw you pick this up from a car earlier this afternoon. Zhou Yu pald the Gods Blessing and examined it carefully, I thought you had recovered, but now I think that you just forced yourself to get up out of your desperation forthis.
Montary lucidity?
Zhou Yu looked at the white powder left on the corner of Eugenes mouth and held his own chin, uttering, Maybe not, you look like youre about to keel over, but you looked fine before.
Looks like youre taking too much.
Eugenes eyes widened narrowly inside his hideous face and he shouted indistinctly, Hey-you, hahh, little bastard! Hurry up! Take to-huhhh, the hospital!
The pools of Zhou Yus erald green eyes surged with cold derision. He tossed the bag of powder into the trash can and jeered, Its a pity that your favorite blessing of god will kill you.
He knew for a fact that the curse he implanted into his drawing was far from deadlyhe didnt want to get rid of his father right away because he hadnt heard anything about his mother.
Eugenes appearance now was purely from his own greed.
Ill ask you one last ti, do you know what happened to my mother, your wife? Zhou Yu interrogated, eyes locked onto Eugenes dully shifting ones.
Eugene began to froth at the mouth, hazy mindedly cursing: Hahh, that bitchhuhhh, that bitch, dared to take away my drinking money, the slut!
Zhou Yu glared at him with eyes like icy daggers.
He should have known that this piece of trash could never realize his mistakes.
Hahhh, hehe, bitch, serves you right to be a sacrifice! You dare to report the Archbishop, you bitch, hahhh, hahhhhh! Eugenes eyes had began to lose focus, like he was staring into an empty void, as if looking at the woman who had tried to keep him in check.
Zhou Yu clenched his fists, and his breathing fluctuated violently.
Sacrifice.
Archbishop.
Those words always made him rember so unsavory things.
When I was a kid, you always locked in the cabinet and said you wanted to teach independence. I know you actually just thought it was troubleso to take care of . Zhou Yu ridiculed the man on the sofa. Later, you began to indulge in the stupid Gods Blessing, beat and berated all the ti; sotis I even starved for days on end.
One ti, I almost died because you slamd an alcohol bottle into my head.
Zhou Yu rembered being a child who was too terrified to even cry, and an unfamiliar fury coursed through his entire body.
Looking at the man who had started talking nonsense, Zhou Yu forced himself to calm down and turned to leave the living room.
He knew the truth of everything, although it was painful.
No, save -save ! Ill take you to your mother tomorrow! Huehh-in the villa
Behind him, Eugene continued weakly calling for forgiveness.
Towards the man who was still trying to manipulate him, Zhou Yu ignored his plight and strode to his bedroom.
Closing the door, Zhou Yu wiped so teardrops off his blank face, showered, got changed, and finally laid in bed.
He looked out at the bright points of stars in the dark sky, beautiful eyes were full of complex emotions.
After a while, he closed his eyes and peacefully fell asleep.
***
Darkness abounded, and the entire town had entered a sweet dreamland. Only the villa, which was so securely abandoned, was brightly lit.
Inside, the white-haired captain, Al, looked at the burly Warren standing beside him and inquired, What do you think of this plan? Is it difficult?
Warren looked at the list projected on his watch and shook his head expressionlessly: Dont worry, Al, these students are weak, and Ill bring them over smoothly.
Milo, the redhead, cheered on Warren with excitent: Co on, big guy! The future of the team is on your shoulders!
Warren looked at this child-like innocence, wondering if Milo had never grown up, and with a milder aura around him corrected: Its not so exaggerated, in fact, whether or not these people are actually important, killing at least one of them would still complete the mission.
Milo grinned, You dont need to lie to , Captain, uh, hum, Al just told that those small fries arent enough for the Lord God, we have to take out the supporting characters!
After hearing that, Wallen smiled helplessly, and looked down again to confirm the list.
Obviously, he knew that as well.
[Full Nas: Johnny Joyce, Zhou Yu, Kenny Jessley, Vincent Fergus]
Al, Ill go back to the room to rest first, just in case Emily gets suspicious. Warren flicked away the projection on his watch.
Al acquiesced, Okay, you go first, you worked hard. Try to follow the plan as closely as possible. We need to finish this in the next few days, before the judgent.
Warren nodded and left.
Several other reincarnators in the room also vacated after Warren did. In the end, Al was left all alone.
He loosened his collar and then realized that he was thirsty, so the man reached for the tea cup on the table next to him.
CrackkkCrang!!!
The tea cup shattered, and the pieces sohow threw themselves into his arm.
Al frowned, straight up pulling the pieces out and ignoring the blood that welled up.
Due to his line of work, he was used to pain, but he still felt uneasy, as if what just happened was a bad on.
He ca from a more advanced planet in the interstellar world; his race had evolved to instinctively sense oncoming danger, sotis even things such as cups breaking out of nowhere was a direct warning from the heavens.
That was one of the most important reasons for his rise to power as a leader of one of the top 5 teams-sotis his seemingly insignificant perception of danger had saved his entire group.
And now, he felt the looming sense of death, the sa ominous force he faced in other worlds right before the BOSSes were about to end his existence.
This world is getting more and more dangerous.
Al sent a ssage warning of his premonition to the team mbers, then gloomily stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and stared at the lonely forest outside the window.
I hope everythingll work out.
He sighed helplessly.

Just after dawn, Zhou Yu was awoken by a dudududu sound.
He opened his eyes and looked at the crow who was still pecking at the window.
That red-eyed crow saw him look over and imdiately stopped knocking on the glass. He behaved like a child who got caught doing sothing illegal red-handed.
A grin started spreading on Zhou Yus pale face. He put on a coat after getting up and then opened the window.
The bird on the windowsill didnt get antsy from his movents, still watching Zhou Yu, as if he would disappear at any mont.
Zhou Yu slowly reached out his hand and stroked the crows smooth and silky feathers.
Are you hungry? The dark-haired and green-eyed boy looked down at the crow, and in the reflection of his eyes, it seed that the only thing that existed in the world was that crow.
The youths eyes crinkled in happiness, and a soul-stirring smile curled his lips.
The crow stretched out its wings and rushed into the boys arms.
Zhou Yu held the scavenger in his arms in a daze.
He had never seen such a fearless animal.
