Human nature cannot stand the test because the essence of human nature is selfish. △↗

Relf's departure caused a serious psychological blow to Corrett. Its harshness was even far greater than that of Greene who ran away. After all, Greene had extended a helping hand before abandoning them. But what about Relf? Faced with the dilemma of helplessness, what he thought of was not a solution at the first time, but resolutely chose to abandon his companions and escape.

Now, no matter how much he denounces and condemns it, it will be useless. Since he is unwilling to abandon his companions against the bottom line of conscience and morality, the important task of how to rescue his companions naturally falls on his shoulders. But what can he do alone?

At dawn, the morning light is dim, and the sky is bright. Unconsciously, the hanging purple moon slips out of the clouds, and the outline is becoming more and more hazy and dim. The early wind in midsummer is refreshing and cool, and the awakened birds circling in the mountains and forests singing cheerful songs. The moist and fresh air is filled with the fragrance of the earth, and the white mist flows ethereal, like a dream and an illusion, immersed in the influence of nature, as if you forget all your worries in an instant.

With a shield on his back, Corret emerged from the lush wild bush. His face was pale and tired, and his narrow eyes were full of firm eyes. Some roads always needed to be walked, and some things needed to be done. Sometimes he felt that he was stupid and rigid. He knew that there was an unpredictable danger ahead, but he still walked on me. Perhaps there was a complex feeling of regret in his heart, but he had no choice because he didn't want to lose his bottom line of being a human being, and he didn't want to live in self-blame and guilt all his life.

...

...

"It's dawn."

At the bottom of the well, Connell leaned against the well wall, staring at the light cast from the narrow wellhead above his head. His voice was very light, so weak that he could not hear any energy. His dry stomach was turning the pain of hunger, and his dry throat was lacking in water to make him hoarse. He was very suspicious now. Judging from their current situation, he might not be able to wait for two days and then he would be completely slumped in the bottom of the well and no longer be able to move.

"I brought water and drink some."

Willie, who was half asleep and half awake, opened his eyes and noticed the abnormality of Connell's voice. He reached out to take off the water bag on his waist, threw it at him casually, and finally reminded him.

“Remember to save some.”

Connill took the water bag, pulled the plug, raised his head and took a small mouthful, then stopped, covered the plug, and threw the water bag back to Willy, and his spirit improved slightly, "You say, what are Corrett and Relf doing now? There is such a big disturbance in the village, and they cannot not know."

"Who knows?" Willie said indifferently: "Maybe searching around for information about us."

"I'm most afraid that they will break into the village now. If anyone doesn't find it, they will fall in instead." Connill tilted his head, his eyes drooped at Willy, and his dark face was not visible at all.

"With Corrett's calm and cautious personality, he would not do such a reckless thing, but Relf has this possibility." Willie said softly.

"I hope Relf won't really break into the village," sighed Connill. "His personality is getting more and more extreme, and I always worry that he will do something stupid."

"Maybe Green's incident stimulated him," Willie speculated. "After all, before Green left, his performance was still normal."

"Green..."

When the name was mentioned, the atmosphere suddenly fell into a long silence.

"What do you think he is doing now?" Connill couldn't help but think curiously.

"I don't know, maybe I'm observing our ridiculous behavior in the dark." Willie snorted coldly. "Connell, if you have the opportunity to see Green's true face in the future, you will truly understand why he is hated and disgusting."

"It seems that when we were in a coma, Green caused you a lot of damage." Connill said.

"Yes, I don't want to deny this." Willie calmed down and said, "because my self-esteem was insulted, and it was an insult that I would never forget."

"But... he is really strong." Connell hesitated for a moment.

"What makes him strong is not his strength, but his mentality." Willie took a deep breath, recalling the scenes of contact with Green in his mind. Even if he hated Green, he had to admit one thing. "He has a strong mentality that none of us don't have."

"The mentality of a strong man?" Connill seemed to understand.

"In short, he is the one who is most qualified to be a Knight of the Celestial Hall." Willie changed a statement that the other party could understand.

"He is really amazing." Connell sighed.

"This is what makes me confused. Everyone is obviously old, and based on his living habits and words and deeds, it is not difficult to judge that he came from a very well-educated and wealthy family, but his temperament is full of incompatible contradictions with his background." Willie thought deeply.

"Maybe his life has gone through something ulterior motive," Connill said.

"I have doubted this too." Willie frowned and said, "But I am still suspicious, because his temperament is not just a so-called accident that can be formed in a short period of time. You have never seen him calm when he killed someone, so casually that it seemed like a bug crushed. What kind of person does this look like?"

"Only people who are like grass can do this." Without waiting for Connell to respond, Willie had already given the answer.

"Can he be a murderer once?" Connill was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and denied: "Impossible. If he really had this experience, the Holy Church would never recruit him to participate in the Knights of the Holy Church."

"I have many doubts! That's why I can't understand him." Willie said with a slightly bitter tone.

Perhaps influenced by the sounds of the two people's speech, the girl who could not help but fall asleep before gradually woke up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked around with the help of the faint light from the well. She didn't know whether she should be said to be too naive or simple. Facing the situation of two "bad people" who have kidnapped her and being in danger at any time, she would easily believe them, and even fall asleep peacefully without any defense. It was incredible that people with a little common sense and a little cautious will not be like her.

"Is it dawn?" The girl covered her mouth and yawned a long time, then reached out to touch her hungry belly, and said pitifully, "Fina is so hungry. Do you have any food on you?"

Willy and Connill looked at each other, and they saw surprise and helplessness in their eyes. Finally, Willy spoke: "Did you eat? There is some water. Be patient for the time being. We will quietly investigate the situation outside at night and make sure it is safe. You will take you out. Then you will be fine if you want to eat it."

"But Fina is really hungry." The girl said aggrievedly.

"I have a way to stop feeling hungry and uncomfortable. Are you sure you need to try it?" Willie said lightly.

"What's the solution?" the girl asked curiously.

"Knock you out." Willie smiled inexplicably. "As long as you faint, you will feel hungry."

"No!" the girl screamed immediately. "Fina, don't faint!"

"Then let's go along." Willie said with a restrained smile: "Look at us, we have nothing to eat to accompany you to starve. Do you feel a little more comfortable?"

"It seems...it makes some sense." The girl said ignorantly.

"Fina, when will your sacrificial ceremony be held?" Willy suddenly asked after successfully distracting the girl's mind.

"In the next ten days, the village elders have not yet determined the specific time." The girl said casually.

"Nervous?" Willie said.

"A little bit." The girl nodded. "The thought of saying goodbye to her parents and sisters and following Earl to another world, Fina felt uncomfortable. It would be great if they could accompany Fina."

After hearing the girl's words, Connill couldn't help but grin. The cult is really poisonous. Just die, but he still naively wants to pull his parents and relatives. He really doesn't understand how their brain circuits are formed. No wonder the temple wants to implement cruel means of extermination. This is not just a matter of faith, but a fundamental problem that escalates to endanger society. If the source of the cult spread is not completely eliminated, once it spreads, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the entire Northeast mountainous area in the future.

"Fina..."

Willie wanted to speak but stopped, and finally, he sighed and stopped talking.

He wanted to save the girl and all the innocent villagers in the village who were bewitched by cults. But from what the girl said, he knew that no matter how she persuaded her, it would be useless, and it would cause the other party to reject and hate. Did he have to pull her sleeve and roar loudly and say, "What you are talking about is fake, there is no such so-called evil god in this world. Everything is a scam, a lie to deceive you! What is the issue of childbirth and sacrifice! Someone must be manipulating the ulterior motive behind the scenes!

He felt very tired. If it was physical fatigue, he could recover through rest, but what about the heart?

Could it be that he really has only one way to kill all the villagers now?

Looking at the innocent girl in front of him, he felt that he could do it, let alone those babies who are still in their cradles!

As time goes by, the light projected from the wellhead changes its position lightly and darkly. Night gradually descends, and the people at the bottom of the well gradually become energetic. Even though hunger and fatigue seriously affect their physical condition, they cannot stop their yearning for freedom.

"I'll go out to find out the situation first."

When the night was deep and everything was quiet, Connell could not wait to pull the hanging rope, then said to Willy, and then began to climb hard.

"Be careful of everything!"

Willie reminded him, looking up at the other person's figure who was constantly striving for progress, feeling both nervous and hopeful.

About ten minutes later, Connill had climbed to the wellhead. He carefully poked his head out and observed the movements around him. After a long time, everything was normal, he climbed out of the wellhead along the edge of the wellhead.

According to the prior agreement, he pulled the rope with rhythm and signaled that there was nothing wrong in Inoue. While Willy was climbing up with the girl at the bottom of the Hole, he took off the crossbow he carried, pulled the strings and arrows, and patted with vigilance.

The moonlight was bright tonight, and the soft moonlight poured on the earth and dyed a faint purple mist. I don’t know how long it took, but there was finally a movement at the wellhead. The girl Fina took the lead and climbed out of the wellhead with difficulty, and Willy appeared immediately afterwards.

At this moment, the ground was vibrating, and countless fires gathered near the wellhead in an instant.

Willie looked up and looked stunned.
