Chapter 284: Chapter 243 Correct

And so, the girl inevitably began to accuse the other girls as well.

Watching this unfold, Xiao Yi, squeezed among the crowd in the church, heard Carl say to him:

"This is bad, Xiao Yi. If this pointing continues, Tess will get dragged into this sooner or later."

"Yes, but..."

"I know what you want to say." Carl clenched his fist and then helplessly released it, "What can we do, just standing here in silence, even if we know this?"

"..."

Xiao Yi immediately looked towards Gladys and couldn’t help but start thinking, what other choices did he have besides just silently watching this trial spiral out of control?

"No! No... it wasn’t me! I too..."

And the girl being accused was also ready to do like the others, to shift the blame onto someone else.

But before she could, Hele interrupted her.

Hele knew that if this continued, the trial would just be endless, so he asked again:

"Before that, I want to ask you a question. You said that you don’t know what happened after leaving with that woman, right?"

"... Ah, yes!" The girls nodded hastily, "We don’t remember anything! We don’t recall what we did!"

That was impossible.

Xiao Yi had seen with his own eyes how they laughed and roughhoused, danced, and... with expressionless faces, carried out some sort of ritual.

At that time, they didn’t look unconscious or like they would forget everything.

"That’s impossible! Because I saw it with my own eyes, those girls singing and dancing happily! It’s impossible for them to forget everything! They are lying!"

At that moment, a juror suddenly stood up and loudly rebuked the girls.

It seemed that, aside from Xiao Yi, there were also others who had witnessed their actions.

And those girls, once accused, immediately panicked.

"Is that so?" Hele looked at them again and challenged, "Do you still want to deny this?"

"I... I..." Suddenly, someone cried out, "I really don’t know anything... I don’t know what came over me, just went along with them like that, I felt as if I was controlled by a demon, my own thoughts and actions were controlled..."

Her plaintive cries and glistening tears touched the majority within the church.

"Maybe... maybe they were all bewitched by the power of the Evil God to act like that."

With that statement, the crowd immediately nodded in agreement!

"That’s right! It must be so! That’s the Evil God, after all! Using any kind of wicked tricks to bewitch people’s hearts to gain followers wouldn’t be surprising at all!"

"And they’re still just children! Their minds aren’t mature, their faith can’t be as steadfast as ours, easily bewitched, no wonder all the bewitched are children!"

Inside the church, the more people talked, the more plausible this explanation seemed!

Seeing this, the girls quickly took advantage of the situation and exclaimed:

"We really don’t know what happened then, but now that we think about it, we might indeed have been bewitched by the Evil God, which led to our strange behavior!"

"That’s right! I always thought it was strange. My parents strictly forbid me from interacting with those from outside our community. How could I possibly defy my parents’ orders and follow that outsider? It turns out I was seduced by the power of the Evil God!"

"Now! Inside the church! Facing the glory of God! We have finally come to realize the sins we have committed!"

"Ah! God... I am guilty! To think I was bewitched by the Evil God! Both my body and soul are tainted! I beg God to bestow His divine aura, to cleanse my filth!"

Then, the girls began to pray fervently, all displaying signs of repentance.

Now that their interests were aligned, they naturally began to work together. Instead of accusing each other, they now appeared inseparable.

"Forgive me! Forgive me!"

"I beg to return to God’s side, to kiss God’s hand, to beg for forgiveness!"

They raised their voices, loud and striving to show their penitence.

The shrill voices crowded together, making the already crowded church feel even more congested.

"...So noisy!" Xiao Yi couldn’t help but cover his ears, "Am I at the site of some cult ritual? No... It does seem to be the case."

Following this, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but look towards Gladys among those girls.

If it was piercingly noisy here, it must be even more painful for Gladys.

In fact, at this moment, Gladys, among the girls loudly repenting, seemed so out of place.

Scared, she clung tightly to her legs, almost curling up into a ball.

"..." Xiao Yi felt uncomfortable.

But others didn’t feel the discomfort like Xiao Yi; instead, they showed excited and joyful expressions.

Because these girls had woken up from the bewitchment of the Evil God, wanting to return to the embrace of God!

"...Oh!" Some Church Court officials were even moved to tears, "Glory be to God! They have been liberated! They are free!"

"..." Although the entire church was immersed in an atmosphere of redemption, Hele’s expression remained stern.

He opened his mouth slightly, as if to say something, but seeing the devout expressions on the faces of the people, he hesitated and ultimately said nothing.
