“Please, my lord! I am not guilty… !”
One of the knights hit the priest on the stomach. The priest held his stomach in agony and stopped speaking. The other Temple Knight said respectfully to Du Ze: “Pray excuse us, we are sending this criminal to the House of Sinners.”
The House of Sinners is the place where the Temple of Light disposes of criminals. No one returns alive from that place and their corpses do not leave intact. The priest looked a little weak but also very honest and simple. Du Ze didn’t know what the priest had done to be sent to the House of Sinners but he stared at the priest’s face that had a huge scar across his nose. Du Ze’s heart beat faster. He knows a person who was one of Xiu’s best friends. Xiu rescued him from some mercenaries, but that person betrayed Xiu to the Temple of Light and the black-robed skeleton cut him across the nose, leaving a scar.
Seeing Du Ze staring at the priest, one of the Temple Knights explained: “This criminal is a thief.”
The priest was still hissing in agony but struggled to defend himself by saying: “I… No… This is not true, I have no reason to steal the Saint’s things.”
The knight said disdainfully: “Everyone knows that your family is poor.”
The priest asked a rhetorical question in disbelief: “My family is poor… Does that mean I’m going to steal something?”
—— He transformed into the undead form, does that mean he is evil?
Du Ze stared at the priest with a scar on his face and when he spoke his voice was as dry as though it was not his own: “… What’s your name?”
The two knights were stunned because God’s Messenger was rumored to be indifferent to everything and never spoke. Now God’s Messenger opened his mouth to ask the name of the person they had arrested.
The priest’s eyes lit up as he tried to kneel in front of Du Ze and said in an excited voice:
“Daniel. God’s Messenger, my name is Daniel.” Daniel’s gaze was filled with hope: “God’s Messenger … Please believe that I did not steal.”
Du Ze’s blood went cold. It is Daniel. This scum was the reason that the Moe Master could no longer believe in others.
The Temple Knights seemed to have misunderstood and thought that Du Ze plans to save Daniel. One of them hurriedly said: “God’s Messenger, perhaps you don’t know but this person is not someone who was qualified to enter the Temple. He is here because he came running to the Saint with a shameless request.”
The other Temple Knight said: “Yes, in order to enter the Temple, this man betrayed his companion- “
“I didn’t!” Daniel interrupted the Temple Knight’s words and tried to explain to Du Ze: “That was not my companion! He is evil. I asked the Saint to destroy evil!”
… This is why you rescued Xiu then betrayed him? To win a place in the Temple of Light?
Daniel looked up at Du Ze hopefully. He saw the black-haired youth bent down over him slightly and whispered softly in his ear: “Daniel, sorry, the best thing you can do now is to enter the House of Sinners.
——“Xiu, sorry, the best thing you can do now is to die.”
When the Knights of the Temple dragged Daniel away, the priest’ face was disbelieving. Du Ze did not feel the least bit of sympathy.
Giving someone hope then replacing it with despair, that is the most cruel thing in the world.
Kelly betrayed Xiu. Rose and Eddie gave up on Xiu. Daniel betrayed Xiu. Because of arrogance, jealousy, and greed, they killed Xiu’s natural disposition with a knife.
