I Became a God in a Horror Game: 533, Witch Trial

The bishop saw Hearts lowering his head abruptly. There was a silence. He glanced carefully at Hearts' expression, and suddenly froze.

There is nothing on Heart's face, no sadness, no joy, no anger, no fear, and there is no light in those purple eyes that were originally roving. He raised his head slightly and looked Looking at the sky? The road at the bottom of the city island? The road poured into the wind and rain? Rock cracks, those cool and moist winds blowing on his dry face, made him blink for a while, and then smiled lightly .

Then, he burst into tears.

The bishop stood there stunned, and because he was surprised, he paused when he spoke: "You, are you crying?"

Being on this island for so long, the bishop has seen thousands of women crying on this island, but he has never seen the tears of Heart, even the night that Heart came to the island at the age of twelve.

All the men who ordered hearts complained, no? No matter how much you toss, you won’t cry. That face is so beautiful, those eyes are so bright, and it’s so charming to cry. Why? Why don’t you cry? ?

Later? Heart's tears and his beauty have become a legendary existence on this island. There are always men on the island who are drunk and ask? Heart—— why don't you cry I have to give my life, are you willing to cry for me?

Heart just raised her eyes lazily and smiled: "Tears are a symbol of pain."

"When I cry, I will pay less pain. For the gods I believe in, I will not shed a tear for you ordinary people."

"You are not worth it."

"Did I cry?" Heart suddenly asked, "So I cried?"

"I thought it was the rain from the cracks outside the island, the water that fell on my face."

"...a gap? There is no gap here where the wind can blow in..." The bishop followed Heart's gaze, then paused, "Is that a gap?"

"Look carefully, Heart, that? The gap is not a crack in the rock, it's a crack in the door."

Following the bishop's reminder, the gap in the rock instantly turned into a gap in which a silver-blue door was slightly opened. ? The cracks in the rock are like an illusion.

The bishop looked at the heart: "This is the second mechanism of this prison, and it is also the secret of this island's ability to float."

"The reason why the city in the sky will never fall and float in the sky is because of the wind blowing from the gap at the bottom of this island."

"This gap is left by that gentleman. He said that this gap is a gap in the door that he left on purpose. The other end of the door leads to the abyss and evil. He told us not to look directly at this gap. There is a silver-blue light behind the crack of the door, which will make people who look directly see the scene under the psychedelic, and the things on the opposite side of the door will slowly **** us into the other side of the door, and then... I can't come out anymore."

"This is an unspeakable gap. We deliberately built the sky prison on the opposite side of the gap. If you want to leave, you have to go through this gap. In addition to the male eel pool, no one can get out of it." Here it comes out successfully."

The bishop condescendingly pronounced the sentence on the heart: "Don't struggle, you will be trapped on this island for the rest of your life."

After the bishop responsible for imprisoning hearts came out from the bottom of the prison, he soon received a call from the Pope. He answered the phone respectfully, and the Pope asked heavily ? Voice: "Have you locked him up?"

"It's closed." The bishop said in a respectful tone, "Hang him up for two days first, and when he becomes weak, we will interrogate him. We must ask him about the process of how he acquired these witchcrafts. Clear."

"Well." The Pope was silent for a moment, "Don't be too harsh on him, may God bless us all."

Using the words of the Pope, he turned around and asked: "... When he was at the bottom of the prison, looking directly at the gap, what did he see?"

Hearts are not the first prisoner from the Island of the Sky they locked in. In addition to being tightly locked up in this prison, because the gap in the prison is confusing and allows people to see the most desireable things in their hearts. The function is equivalent to a lie detector and veritaserum, and it is also very effective in interrogating prisoners.

You only need to lock the prisoner in, and when the prisoner looks up? See? That crack? Say what he saw? Then you can know what the prisoner is thinking deep in his heart—no matter what Stubborn, even a senior con artist who has deceived himself before, has to face his inner desire and reality in front of this "crack".

The bishop asked the Pope? This is not surprising, because Hearts didn't make a death move today, which surprised everyone. They were all waiting for the results of Hearts' interrogation after seeing the "crack".

But the result? Obviously? There is no way to satisfy everyone.

"Hearts... What I saw? It was a gap on the island." The bishop replied hesitantly, "He said that he drove out from the gap and saw that it was raining outside the island."

"The gap will not deceive us." The pope was silent for a long time, and he slowly repeated the words of the bishop?, "So what the queen desires in her heart is...a gap on an island that is raining?"

Papal Palace, Main Hall.

The Pope was face to face with Phoebe and the bishop who brought Phoebe. His old and sunken face had cloudy eyes, and with his slightly trembling tone, he didn't look like a pope who was about to decay into the ground. ordinary old man.

"I ordered the cardinal to imprison the person who attacked me at the bottom of Sky City? There is absolutely no way for him to escape."

"But this incident is enough to warn us."

The pope's originally cloudy eyes suddenly turned sharp, and his tone suddenly became low: "Island in the sky! This pure land that belongs to me and God, how can there be a witch's power to go up there!"

He raised his heavy scepter and slammed the pestle heavily on the ground, causing the ground to vibrate, and angrily reprimanded: "You guards on the ground, how dereliction of duty, actually? Let the only Noah's Ark of mankind be polluted by the spreading evil!"

"Twenty-one cardinals have died, and even I have been threatened." The Pope shook his head sadly, "These are the merits of countless witches who were tried during the witch trials. You minister, you actually died in the safe zone designated by the Holy See, how do you make the people think of us? If the news gets out, wouldn’t the prestige that the Holy See has built up so hard be wiped out overnight?"

"We even defected from the Tribunal led by a group of saintess patrol captains who defected from the Holy See? We are invincible, and even said to clean up all the witches!" The Pope shook the scepter to the ground. , "Where is the captain of the guard guarding the ladder on the island? Severe punishment!"

The bishop who led Phoebe in shook his shoulders and reported in a very low voice: "My lord, we have strictly blocked the news, so we should not let it out."

"And the ladder..." the bishop paused, raised his head slightly, looked at the heavy scepter in the Pope's hand, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and reminded in a low voice, "My lord pope , have you forgotten? Only you can open the ladder."

Phoebe, who kept her head down all the time, also raised her head at this moment. Following the eyes of the bishop next to her, she looked at the scepter in the Pope's hand, and raised her eyebrows.

The scepter looks simple and heavy. What does it look like? It is carved from extremely old ancient wood. The surface of the scepter is uneven. It is a shape of an octopus tentacles embracing upwards. At the top should be the octopus head? The place where there is a huge gem, the magic is that this gem is not inlaid, but suspended on the scepter, the gem is the size of an adult's fist, it is not clear, but a little cloudy, can you see it? There are some cotton-like debris inside, but none of this is the first reason why this unique scepter attracts attention——

——There is a layer of silver-blue light in the center of this gemstone. With the scepter shape of the tentacles and the suspended gemstone head, it looks like a comb jellyfish glowing in the ocean .

The bishop carefully raised his hand to signal the pope to look at the scepter in his hand: "My lord, the ladder to the island can only be opened with the scepter in the expert hand."

"You begged the gentleman who sold the island to you back then, saying that you hoped that this floating island, that is, [Sky? People who don't want to go can't, you want this island to be like your home, and only you have the keys to get there."

"That gentleman agreed to your request and really gave you a key to the city in the sky."

"He used a gem to wrap a small section of the crack, making the light from the crack gentle and safe, and nothing will happen if you look directly at it, and then put this gem in your On your scepter, it was given to you as the key to the island. The cracks wrapped in the gems are from the same source as the cracks in your gems, so only the scepter in your hand can open the ladder to the island, regardless of the captain of the guard As long as you still have the scepter in your hand and the [key] to open the island, it is impossible for any witch to go to the island and pollute it."

The Pope looked at the jewel on the scepter and fell silent.

After a long, long time, the Pope said: "You are right, as long as the scepter is in my hand, no one can go to the island."

The bishop who thought he would also be severely punished let out a sigh of relief.

"The scepter gem wrapped in the scepter that that gentleman gave me..." The pope fell into memory, and he whispered in a trance, "It has very strong power. There is such a thing at the bottom of the island? Short, less than? A gap of one meter can prop up an island floating in the air for more than ten years without sinking. The gentleman can easily wrap such a dangerous and sharp gap into a safe gem and give it to me as a key. .”

"I have been curious about the material of this gemstone. Like the scepter in my hand, I have used a lot of hard materials. I want to try to wrap the gap at the bottom of the island. I have tried everything in the world. None of the gemstones can resist the strength of the crack, but in the blink of an eye, it will be wiped out."

"In the end, I really couldn't help my curiosity. I asked the gentleman what kind of gems and materials can wrap and fill the cracks under the island."

"The gentleman told me with a smile that there is no gem or material in this world that can fill the gap leading to the abyss."

"I held up the scepter and asked him, what is this gemstone in my hand? What is it?"

The pope paused, and he said in a trance: "The gentleman answered with a smile——"

"——is a heart condensed by a painful soul."

"Only a soul that is suffering enough to leave the body? The condensed gem can close the door to desire and the abyss."
