Angel looked at the little girl trapped in the blood formation. Her expression was gloomy. She was not surprised when she saw them, she just stared at them with dead fish eyes.
"Sanny, right? Who trapped you here and when were you trapped?" Angel looked directly into Sanny's eyes.
Shanni just sneered and said nothing.
Angel turned his head and looked at the little boy standing by the blood array. He wanted to touch Shanni, but he was afraid of the blood on the ground and turned around anxiously: "You said before that Shanni hasn't left here for several months. In other words, she was trapped here within these few months?”
The little boy nodded: "Yes, Shanni was fine half a year ago..."
"You don't know why she was trapped?" Angel continued to ask.
"I don't know, Shanni usually doesn't allow me to go near this building." The little boy lowered his head and said.
Angel said "Oh" to express his understanding, then looked at Shanni who said nothing, and said twice: "We are obviously just children, how come your anger is so much stronger than his?"
"Furthermore, even though you were so violent and angry, you were locked up in the Blood Array for more than half a year, but you didn't turn into an undead." Angel asked curiously: "What's the reason? Is there any belief that supports you?" Not fallen?"
The little girl had a cold face and still stared at Angel with vicious eyes, but did not answer.
"Sanny is not like this when she falls asleep. She is very gentle." The little boy whispered at this time: "But when she wakes up, she will be very strict, as if she has changed..."
Before the little boy could finish speaking, Sunny shouted: "You idiot Ada, shut up!"
The little boy called "Idiot Yada" pouted in grievance and took two steps back in fear.
At this time, Duru, who had been shivering, suddenly stammered to Angel: "Pa, Pa... Sir Pat, why are there so many here..."
Drew swallowed the last word, his eyes fixed on a transparent water tank.
There was a corpse frozen in the water tank, and the fluorite light shone in. Judging from the size of the corpse, it should be a child.
Dulu was a little timid and slowly shined the light on the child's head, and finally he saw the child's appearance clearly...
He looked back at the boy with his head lowered, and then at the body in the water tank. Their faces were exactly the same. The only difference was that the body in the tank had many scars and even one foot was missing.
Dulu noticed that there seemed to be a label on the water tank. He looked closer and saw a row of words written on it.
Dulu read it out: "Yada, eight years old, died in the year 3389 of Jin Qi."
The current almanac of the Central Empire is named Jin Qi. The current year is 3421. In other words, the little boy Ada has been dead for 32 years.
If age was calculated in terms of time, Ada would be 40 years old by now, older than both Duru and Angel.
"This is you, right?" Drew looked at Ada.
Ada hesitated for a moment and nodded: "It's me."
"Why is your body here?" Drew said while looking elsewhere. There were water tanks everywhere, and there was a child's body frozen in each water tank.
"Because Dean Thiessen killed them, he froze them here as souvenirs." It was not Ada who spoke, but Angel.
Flood had told him about the situation here early in the morning. Therefore, he was not surprised when he saw it, but facing the innocent corpses of so many children, Angel still felt a little intolerable and angry.
"Dean Thiessen, is he the dean of the orphanage? Why did he do this?" Dulu said with anger.
"Because you can't bully adults, you can only vent your anger on children." Angel recalled Froude's words before -
Frod's full name is Frod Thyssen. Dean Thiessen of the Nightmare Orphanage is his father.
Dean Thiessen was once an orphan. He was abused as a child, resulting in physical disability. His left leg permanently lost function and had to be amputated. Fortunately, when he was in the most pain, Dean Thiessen's biological parents found him and took him back to the Thiessen family.
The deeds in the middle need not be mentioned. Later, when Dean Thiessen became successful and famous, he opened this orphanage called "Dream". He spoke to the outside world, hoping to bring sweet dreams to homeless orphans, but what he did was abuse and murder.
All the things he suffered when he was a child were inflicted on these weak and innocent orphans. Just like reincarnation, the sufferings of the past did not bloom bright flowers, but turned into a lifetime of demonic obstacles, bringing evil karma to the same innocent children.
But the only thing that is more gratifying is that this reincarnation has ended in Froude's generation.
Angel didn't know if Froud had this tendency, but he couldn't tell from his usual signs. But even if he inherited his father's karma, it didn't matter, he was already dead anyway.
"Human nature is a multiple-choice question. Some people choose to forgive after suffering, and some choose revenge. Both of these have merits; but there is another one that is the most cowardly and unqualified, that is, there is no revenge for those who have hurt him. people, but choose to be them.”
Having become the person I once hated the most, I will no longer shiver with fear in my midnight dreams. But the end result of such collusion is that the worst part of human nature is brought out to the extreme.
Angel did not tell Dean Thiessen's story to Duru, but inexplicably, Dulu seemed to understand some of the key points in it. Originally he was still very afraid of Ada and Shanni, but now he looked at them with a hint of pity in his eyes.
However, Shanni only responded with a disdainful sneer at Drew's pity.
Drew sighed and came to Angel: "Master Pat, what should we do now? Where is the thing you are looking for?"
Angel looked at the huge circular workbench behind Sunny. According to Froude, he placed the Dream Conch inside the workbench.
However, judging from the current situation, Meng Conch is very likely to have been caught first. Perhaps, he will return empty-handed.
Angel walked to the workbench and quickly divided the workbench into two halves according to the mechanism Froude said.
Seeing Angel's action, Sunny's eyes froze, as if she remembered something, and there was a trace of resentment in her eyes.
"Sure enough, there is nothing." Angel sighed helplessly, with a look of disappointment on his expression. It seems that it is really going to be in vain.
Only then did Angel notice that Sunny had been glaring at him. Angel thought for a while, squatted down, and looked level with Sunny.
"Do you know who took the contents inside?" Angel looked at her: "Tell me, who took the box inside?"
"Impossible!" Shanni said firmly.
Angel looked directly into Shanni's angry and resentful eyes, as if he could see through her mind, and said softly: "Tell me, and I will let you leave this blood array."
Shani still adopted an attitude of non-violence and non-cooperation.
Angel: "After you were killed by Dean Thiessen, you have been resentful. You hate humans, so you killed those construction workers. The accumulated hatred has allowed you to reach the point of depravity countless times. On the edge, right?”
"But why didn't you fall? This makes me very curious." No matter what expression Shanni put on, Angel still said to himself: "I think there must be some reason for you not to fall. Maybe you still There is something to place your faith on, or there are some other bonds that make you unwilling to fall."
"I just heard Ada say that you will be very gentle in your dreams."
"In the dream, I was a gentle little girl, but when I woke up, she became a murderous evil spirit. So, is the dream your gentle home and the source of your belief?"
"Shut up! I told you to shut up, did you hear it?" Shanni roared, a powerful wave of soul trying to break through the shackles of the blood array.
"If you continue to use the power of soul, you will really fall." Angel used a gentle and attributeless soul power to inject into Shanni's violent soul.
The anger that had already risen was suppressed unconsciously.
Seeing this, Angel continued: "At first, I thought that dreams were the source of your belief. After all, the thing hidden in the table, in addition to its useless function, can also control you like a dream-weaver ant. Pull me into the dream and have a gentle and lingering dream."
"But it has been taken away now, maybe even half a year ago. In the past six months, you have been unable to sleep, and you have been trapped in the blood array, unable to get out. Your resentment should be enough to turn you into an undead. , but you have not fallen." Angel looked at Shanni with a smile: "So, the dream is not actually the source of your belief, but the person who created the dream is the concern for you not to fall, right?"
After listening to Angel's long words, a figure flashed in Shanni's mind. It was a young man with two big dark circles under his eyes all year round. From birth to death, apart from the idiot Ada, he was the only person who made her feel warm.
"Still not replying?" Angel didn't care and continued: "You don't want to talk to me. Do you think I'm in the same group with the people who took the box and shackled you here?"
Shani didn't deny it.
In fact, Angel was also deceiving her, but she did not deny it, which meant that the people who trapped her in the blood array and took away the dream conch were indeed the same people.
"I said I'm not the same person as them, do you believe it?" Angel asked Shanni.
Shanni still didn't want to speak.
"You are too guarded, which is not cute at all." Angel muttered in a low voice: Ada is still cute.
"No matter how I explain it, you probably won't believe it." Angel thought for a while: "How about I let the person you have been worrying about come and tell you?"
After Angel said this, Sunny was stunned for a moment, but continued to show disdain the next second.
Angel didn't say anything and casually released Froude in the Church of the Dead. From the conversation just now, he had already deduced that the reason why Shanni was unwilling to fall was probably because of Froude.
But the location where Froud appeared happened to be behind Dulu. Dulu's tall back blocked the sight of others.
But except for Dulu, everyone else noticed an additional figure behind him.
Dulu was still confused. Why did Angel, Shanni, and Ada all look at him? However, at this moment, someone patted him gently on the back, and at the same time, a cold wind with a cold voice came into Du Lu's ears.
"Come on, alive, you're blocking the way."
