Chapter 11 May Your Lord Protect You
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
Aimed at the sleeping Haynes, Luo Yao pulled the trigger. Six silver demon-hunting bullets, carrying the power of the Evernight Goddess's prayers, slammed into Haynes's corrupted body.
"Ah ah ah!"
Haynes suddenly awoke from his sleep, letting out a heart-wrenching scream. The skin hit by the demon-hunting bullets instantly turned black and did not recover, like rotten wood struck by lightning. The blackness then rapidly spread and disintegrated. He clutched his abdomen, knelt on the ground, curled into a ball, and stopped moving.
"Did we get him?"
Klein thought nervously.
"Clink clink."
Luo Yao skillfully ejected the spent casings and reloaded, then approached Haynes, pointing the gun directly at his head. She wasn't taking any chances; she intended to fire another round of demon-hunting bullets while Haynes was weak!
But just as Luo Yao's muzzle touched Haynes's head, he suddenly looked up.
"Praise the Lord."
Haynes said with a crazed smile.
Something hidden beneath his black robe stirred, and only when Luo Yao got close enough did she see what it was—they were two human faces! One large, one small, embedded directly in Haynes's chest and abdomen. Through the black robe, the two faces twisted and contorted, their solidified pain palpable!
With Haynes's prayer, the two human faces opened their mouths simultaneously:
"Praise you, my Lord,
Your will shall be done on earth,
As it echoes within our flesh and blood."
It was an indescribable language of corruption. The two mouths constantly opened and closed, forming a duet, as blasphemous and mad prayers poured out!
Boom!
Klein only felt a buzzing in his head, as if a bomb had exploded inside, and his consciousness went blank for a moment. When he came to, he was already lying on the ground, nosebleed dripping down to his chin, dizziness and pain filling his mind.
What the hell?
The sharp, blasphemous language still echoed. Klein struggled to lift his head and saw Luo Yao lying on the ground, bleeding from her mouth and nose, unconscious. She was closer to Haynes, and the impact she received was greater. In the hall, covered in bullet marks and blood, only Haynes remained standing. The two faces beneath his black robe were still chanting, accompanied by the corrupt language, and the wounds caused by the demon-hunting bullets had already healed.
He spread his arms, his face filled with fanaticism and piety.
"This is the supreme power of the Lord! I received His revelation in my sleep!"
"Oh my god!"
Klein cursed silently. He tried to struggle to his feet, but his body was completely uncontrollable. The corrupt sound constantly stimulated his brain, making his limbs weak. If he hadn't already adapted to the ravings above the gray fog, he probably would have completely fainted like Luo Yao.
The two faces beneath the black robe prayed, and in the gaps between their words, they let out desperate pleas and cries.
"Darling, please stop..."
"Daddy, it hurts so much."
Klein noticed that Haynes, who had been ecstatic, suddenly froze upon hearing the woman and child's cries, and then a look of pain welled up on his face. But very quickly, those few emotions dissipated, and he smiled once more.
"Hahahaha... This is... this is the Lord's grace! This way, our family can be together forever!"
Haynes wept, his face filled with joyful yet desperate expressions, completely abandoning his last shred of humanity and fully immersing himself in the belief of the evil god. He gently stroked the two human faces on his abdomen, yet paid no heed to their screams and wails, only offering the purest, most insane prayers to his "Lord," forcing the two faces to continuously utter corrupt words amidst extreme torment.
This Lunatic, did he sacrifice his wife and child?!
Klein felt his scalp tingle as disgust and anger surged within him. He had never seen this side of Haynes before. Indeed, as long as one became a follower of an evil god, no matter how normal their behavior, they had essentially become a Monster in human skin!
Haynes muttered to himself for a while, then suddenly began to move again. He looked at the fallen Luo Yao, his eyes flickering with hunger and greed, and opened his mouth, which split to his ears, his stark white teeth covered in bloody mucus.
"Daddy, I'm so hungry."
"Darling, let's eat her."
The two human faces on his abdomen also spoke simultaneously, encouraging him to continue his actions.
"Oh no!"
Klein suddenly tensed. This guy was going to eat Ms. Luo Yao! He had to stop him!
But Haynes's blasphemous language continued, and he couldn't stand up. Seeing the other party squat down and open his mouth towards Luo Yao, he gritted his teeth and whispered:
"Life's blessing."
"Bang!"
Just then, a crisp sound drowned out Klein's murmur. He saw an exquisite teapot fly across the hall, hitting Haynes squarely on the head and shattering with a crash.
"Die!"
A roaring voice came from behind. A figure quickly crossed the distance, rushing in front of Haynes, and swung a hard staff held in both hands in a full arc, striking him fiercely across the face.
"Smack!"
Like smashing a watermelon or crushing an insect—that's how satisfying the sound was. Haynes fell backward, a deep indentation from the staff on his face. Klein looked at the figure in surprise; it was Luze Longdaoer, the person they were supposed to protect!
"Scream! Why don't you scream, you bastard!"
Lu Ze's eyes were bloodshot, and blood streamed from his nose and ears. He cursed Haynes through gritted teeth, his staff continuously smashing against Haynes's head. The splashing blood landed on his face and hands, burning and smoking with a hiss, but it couldn't stop him from delivering the killing blows.
"Ah ah... Praise the Lord."
Haynes, being beaten, said in a muddled voice. Immediately after, the two human faces on his abdomen opened their mouths simultaneously.
"Watch out!"
Klein quickly warned, but it was too late. A piercing shriek, accompanied by corrupt language, erupted again from those two mouths, slamming into Lu Ze. Klein, who was behind, only received the aftershock, yet he felt as if his head had been violently hammered again, dizzy and in pain.
Through his blurry vision, Klein saw Lu Ze stop moving, staying still in place.
"Heh heh."
Haynes looked at Lu Ze, who seemed to be in a daze, and let out a chilling smile. "You have the Lord's... Oh oh oh—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Ze lifted his foot and brutally kicked him between his legs!
"Crack!"
A sound like something breaking seemed to ring out, and even the observing Klein felt a chill down below.
"What, screaming so loudly, did your Lord not protect your dick?"
Lu Ze sneered, raising his leg for another kick. Blood was gushing from his nose and ears, but his mind was very clear. Although his face showed ferocity, his mind was racing, thinking about how to deal with this Monster.
Why did Lu Ze appear at this moment?
Because he never intended to put his life entirely in the hands of others from the beginning.
After hiding his sister Cecilia, Lu Ze slipped out of the lounge and hid behind the partition, observing the scene. The battle had been fierce, and the two Nighthawks present hadn't noticed him.
Haynes seemed to have noticed, but he was too beaten to act.
So initially, Lu Ze was relatively safe as an observer.
Until Haynes awakened the two faces beneath his black robe, using them to amplify himself and corrupt others. The defiling language of corruption initially gave Lu Ze a great shock, but just as his mind was about to collapse, the illusory ocean he had experienced when drinking the potion reappeared, as if non-existent tides gently supported his mind, resisting the chanting.
However, this power seemed to be limited. While resisting the erosion, the cool sensation was also gradually disappearing. If Haynes wasn't dealt with, he too would eventually fall into madness.
Are there any friends watching? Give me some feedback, please.
