Chapter 142: Misty Town (19) Residents whose temperament has changed drastically
Crowds carrying torches and chanting "Kill the devil" walked past them.
I don't know what kind of blinding trick the devil used. These people turned a blind eye to the two of them. When they passed by, they didn't even look at each other, and they only looked forward feverishly.
Yan Jinyue saw clearly that they were all residents of the small town, and there were a few familiar faces to her, such as her neighbors, the Charles family, and Mrs. Louis and Mrs. Lu Lang, who loved her most.
But the usually kind and amiable people's temperament changed drastically at this moment, and the viciousness and madness in their eyes seemed to condense into reality.
What on earth are they doing? Huge doubts were buried in her heart.
When she could only see their backs, the devil patted her back and smiled: "Let's go, follow them."
Yan Jinyue didn't say a word. He held her waist and walked forward obediently. Her sixth sense told her that this would definitely not be a good thing.
She was scared and anxious for no reason, and the devil beside her became her only support at this moment. His strong and irresistible embrace actually gave her the most powerful stability.
Yan Jinyue felt very complicated. Reason told her that she should not rely on the devil, but her heart was not controlled by reason.
After struggling for a while, she gave up the struggle completely, took the initiative to grab the corner of his clothes, and confessed softly: "I'm a little scared, and I feel very uneasy."
The little girl's look of trust and dependence greatly pleased the devil. He hugged her tighter, "Don't be afraid, they can't hurt you as long as I'm here."
them?
Yan Jinyue keenly caught the word devil, and she was thinking about who they were.
Town residents? But these residents would never harm her in the first place.
Who could that be?
The doubts were quickly answered. They followed the crowd to the door of the church. The holy and solemn building in the past was now illuminated brightly but strangely by the firelight. A half-person-high execution platform was built at the door, and on the execution platform was a huge of cross.
The Archbishop, who had obviously left long ago, was now standing on the execution platform, wearing a red monk's robe. The firelight was swaying on him, and there seemed to be flames flowing on the hem of his robe.
His kindness and kindness no longer existed, and there was only indifference and coldness on his face.
"..." The archbishop first recited a series of eulogies in praise of the gods, and finally got to the point: "In order to praise the kindness of our Lord, I hereby offer the flesh and blood soul of the devil, because the devil is the most filthy existence in the world and must be burned at the stake. Seven days of washing, today is the third day.”
"Bring the devil here." The archbishop said coldly.
Immediately, the white-clothed clergy carried a man onto the execution platform.
After Yan Jinyue saw the person tied to the torture rack clearly, his pupils shrank.
That man had silver hair as bright as moonlight and a face as clear as jade. Even though he was in a mess and bruised, he could not hide his cold and noble demeanor.
He was placed on the torture rack, his face as pale as frost on an autumn night, but the interlaced bloodstains were terrifyingly scarlet, which was shocking.
"Kerwin..." Yan Jinyue subconsciously wanted to rush out, but was held down by the devil.
Devil: "Don't worry."
"But Kerwin..." Tears flashed in the girl's eyes.
Although the devil was jealous, he did not add insult to injury: "Don't worry, he won't die. He is a devil, humans can't kill him."
"He is a devil?" Yan Jinyue was confused by his words, "Aren't you the devil?"
"My dear Jinyue, can't you see our relationship now?" The devil curled his red lips, held her face in his hands, and his eyes as red as gems were meaningful.
Yan Jinyue blinked: "You..."
They are all demons, they look the same but have different temperaments, so that can only be a possibility.
"Are you twins?"
"Ah?" The devil was confused now, and he twitched the corners of his lips, "How bold are your guesses?"
"It can't be father and son, right?" Yan Jinyue looked horrified. The devil almost laughed angrily, rubbed the girl's cheek vigorously, and gritted his teeth: "Then tell me, who is the father and who is the son?"
Yan Jinyue's head was also burning and she casually said what she had thought was the most absurd guess: "Are you really the same person, but why -"
"Will we separate?" the devil asked her.
"Yes." Yan Jinyue nodded vigorously.
The devil looked at his other self who was put on the torture rack by humans, and smiled coldly: "That's the reason."
Yan Jinyue followed his gaze and saw that Kerwin was also smiling, with a sarcastic smile.
His cold and powerful voice passed through the burning flames and the hustle and bustle of people, and came out loud and clear:
"I am a priest, a messenger of God, not a devil. After spending so long with you, you should all know who I am, and I am not a devil."
The crowd, that is, the residents of the town, started talking, but suddenly someone shouted: "Who knows if you are pretending, you are just being nice to us to hide your identity as a devil!"
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with brown hair, brown eyes, and a rough and unruly appearance. His face was not cleanly shaved and looked scratchy and unclean.
Yan Jinyue recognized that man as the boss of the leather boots in the east of the city. At this moment, he was attacking Kerwin with a ferocious expression. What was ridiculous was that a few days ago, Yan Jinyue had accompanied Kerwin to treat his mother. Sick, but he was so grateful that he had runny nose and tears.
What a ruthless thing!

Yan Jinyue wanted to go up and slap him twice, but the devil held him back and could only bite her lips in place.
Others, many of whom had been helped by Kerwin, joined the boot shop owner in denouncing Kerwin's "crime."
But what is his "crime"?
They can only say that he is a "demon", but being a "demon" is the biggest "crime".
Yan Jinyue thought it was extremely ridiculous. Seeing them trying to set fire to Corwin, she rushed out without caring.
Amid everyone's astonished eyes, she rushed onto the execution platform. She didn't know where the strength came from, pushed away the two priests in white clothes holding torches, and stood in front of the execution rack with a decisive gesture.
"No one can hurt Kerwin!" The little girl opened her arms and glared at everyone fiercely.
Everyone yelled with hatred: "What are you doing, Audrey, he is a devil!"
"Audrey, come down quickly and don't interfere with the devil's torture!"
"..."
"Shut up, everyone!" Yan Jinyue raised her voice, "Kerwin didn't hurt anyone, so he doesn't deserve to be punished. The ones who deserve to be punished are you, a group of villains who help the evil tyrants do evil and have a bad heart!"
Silence, after a long silence, someone exclaimed: "Audrey, you are really crazy!"
Yan Jinyue sneered: "You are the ones who are crazy."
Kerwin raised his eyes and looked at the figure standing in front of him. He was thin and fragile, and his small body seemed to contain huge power.
He said weakly: "Jinyue, go quickly, don't let them hurt you."
Yan Jinyue turned to look at him and said firmly: "I won't leave. I can't just watch them burn you with fire."
"I'll be fine." Kerwin smiled a little, "I'll be fine."
"I just won't leave anyway."
Yan Jinyue was determined, but the white-clothed clergy stepped forward indifferently and wanted to drag her away, but the archbishop stopped her: "No need."
The red archbishop came over with a kind smile, but it made people feel cold all over.
Yan Jinyue looked at him warily, "What are you going to do?"
The archbishop smiled, turned to face the crowd and said loudly:
"Miss Audrey Felix, bewitched by the devil, her body and mind were polluted by the devil."
"She needs to go through the cleansing of fire with the devil, otherwise she will become-"
