Chapter 287: Chapter 244 Accusation_2

Looking around, there was no one to shield her from it all, she was enduring everything alone...

"Speak now, or else..." At that moment, Hele, standing in front of Gladys, said coldly, "Do you... want to die?"

"...!"

In Gladys’s mind, she subconsciously thought of a name, one she knew from elsewhere.

Then... she instinctively uttered that name.

"...Tiya."

"What...!?" Upon hearing Gladys say that name, both Carl and Xiao Yi were shocked!

"...Eh?" It was only then that Gladys realized what she had said, and she quickly tried to correct herself, "No... that’s not it!"

"...!" Without a moment to think, Xiao Yi urgently said to Carl, "Carl, stay here and take care of Tess! I’m going to find that mother and daughter!"

Don’t worry...

Xiao Yi comforted himself in his mind, it was just a name after all, they couldn’t possibly know who it referred to!

Therefore! All he had to do was hide the mother and daughter before their investigation was complete... there was still plenty of time.

"...The name of the daughter of the refugee mother and daughter?"

But, to Xiao Yi’s surprise, Hele was actually aware of their situation!

"I remember they are currently working for that gentleman... another troublesome fellow. Well then, Judges... you go first, I’ll follow shortly."

Hele immediately dispatched several Judges to the gentleman’s Club, and their movements were even quicker than Xiao Yi’s! Xiao Yi still had to fight his way through crowds.

"...!"

With that, Xiao Yi had no choice but to pursue the Judges with all his normal human ability, as fast as he could!

By the time Xiao Yi arrived at the gentleman’s place, it was already too late.

The Judges were already there, and... they had captured Tiya.

The others at the Club, who had never seen such a situation before, hurriedly ran away, fearing they’d get dragged into the mess.

The gentleman stood by, frowning, watching intently.

The smile that once adorned his face was now gone.

The only one still resisting was the mother, whom someone pressed fiercely to the ground.

"Mama!!!"

"Get off her!" Bianca’s face twisted, and tears streamed down uncontrollably.

But no matter how hard she tried, with all her might to stand up, the Judges pressing her down didn’t budge an inch.

The powerlessness of her resistance meant she could only beg the people around her.

"Please... she’s all I have in this life, I can’t lose her... It’s all my fault! She’s innocent! Take me! My life should be enough to pay for everything! Let her go, please let her go... I’m begging you..."

"What are you talking about?" But the Judges said, "You too must face trial, don’t resist, just be honest!"

"..." Bianca’s eyes deepened with despair.

"...Mama." Tiya tried to reach out to her mother, but she was... so far away.

"I’m sorry..." Bianca sobbed, "I’m sorry, Tiya, I can’t give you anything..."

But fortunately, Xiao Yi was late by just a moment.

"...!"

Xiao Yi rushed forward! Taking advantage of the Judges’ momentary unawareness! He attacked them by surprise!

Before they could react, Xiao Yi used a technique that could knock people out instantly, and in a flash, all the Judges were down!

"Eh?"

Both the mother and daughter, Bianca, and the gentleman beside them were all stunned.

"There’s no time to explain!" Xiao Yi looked at the gentleman, "Act like you know this place! Hurry up!"

"Ah... Yes!" The gentleman also immediately snapped back to his senses and said to the mother and daughter: "There’s a hidden basement here! No one else knows about it but me! You guys hide there for now!"

"Ah... Okay! Thank you both!"

Bianca didn’t have time to say much else and hurriedly entered the hidden basement under the guidance of the gentleman.

Then, Hele arrived with his people. Hearing the noise, Xiao Yi and the gentleman quickly worked together to conceal the entrance to the basement.

"You... Why are you here?" Hele, upon arriving, looked at the situation on the scene, then glared at Xiao Yi and accused, "Weren’t you just in the church? Could it be... did you knock them out?"

"Uh..." Xiao Yi, who didn’t have time to hide as well, thought quickly and came up with a perfect excuse, "The thing is, I needed a place to relieve myself urgently, so I was looking for a spot and ended up here. As for those people, I’ve got nothing to do with it. I came in and saw the gentleman here hitting them, and he knocked them out cold."

"...What?" The gentleman, who was about to help clear things up, was dumbfounded and swallowed his words.

"..." Hele’s tense face involuntarily twitched.

He certainly didn’t believe it. He immediately woke up the Judges and asked them, "What happened?"

"Ah?" The Judges were also completely baffled, "We don’t know, we just felt a gust of wind, and then it was like we were slapped by the wind, and we can’t remember anything."

Hele: "..."

Hele was sure that it was Xiao Yi’s doing, so he coldly said to Xiao Yi:

"Are you trying to protect the followers of the Evil God? If so, you’ll be seen as a member of the Evil God’s followers!"

"Although I’m not clear about the situation, I can assure you, they are not followers of the Evil God," Xiao Yi replied, standing his ground, "In fact, no one is a follower of the Evil God! Because the Evil God simply does not exist! Your actions will only cause greater errors!"

"What did you say?" Hele’s face revealed a trace of anger, "After all this! Do you still believe the Evil God does not exist? Those monsters are very real! How can you explain that!?"

"..." Xiao Yi didn’t know how to explain that and could only reply, "Blindly believing in gods won’t solve any problems. Either way, we should believe in science, dispell superstitions, and only then can..."

"What are you talking about?" Hele said coldly, "You understand nothing, yet you refuse to listen and stubbornly believe in science... Your blind faith in science is no different from the blind faith in the gods you despise."

"...!" Xiao Yi was taken aback.

The accusation of having blind faith in science shook Xiao Yi to his core... and made him feel nauseous.

"The Evil God definitely exists!" Hele asserted confidently, "Your shielding of the Evil God’s followers will bring destruction and calamity not just to this town... but to everyone in this world! Even so! Are you still going to obstinately stick to your own views?"

"I..."

If anyone had told Xiao Yi something like this in the past, he would never have listened, but now... things were different.

Everything he had experienced in this town had tormented Xiao Yi greatly, hence, he felt weary deep inside.

[Rule Five: Hallucinations will always accompany you, unaffected by any ability or other methods, and your sanity will inevitably suffer time and time again.]

Xiao Yi had to admit that with his current sanity, he really didn’t know what to do...

He didn’t know whether he should... keep doing this?

"It seems there’s no point in talking to you anymore." Hele immediately commanded, "This man is suspected of harboring the followers of the Evil God, arrest him..."

However, before Hele could finish speaking, the gentleman interrupted him.

"Listening to you assert so firmly on the existence of the Evil God has got me a bit puzzled. What exactly are you basing your certainty on that all of this trouble is the work of an Evil God? Could it be the work of a demon? I am... quite interested in that."

The gentleman, once again, revealed that familiar inscrutable smile.

Hele: "... What are you trying to say?"

"I did some investigating." The gentleman said smilingly, "After all, it’s strange for a Grand Priest to come to such a small place, isn’t it? Then, I found out that you were punished and temporarily stripped of your real authority, because... in the area you were previously in charge of, you also propagated the existence of the Evil God and initiated numerous trials... thereafter, you were reported to the Church Court for abusing the trials for personal gain, that’s why you were punished, right?"
