Chapter 129 Death First as a Sign of Respect
When Lin Fan opened his eyes again, the blinding sunlight was already shining on the bed.
As a result, my mind felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead.
"Depend on!"
He rubbed his slightly throbbing head. "Looks like I overexerted my brain last night with the live stream!"
He sat up and looked out the window.
quiet,
It was very quiet!
"Heh, I have to say, these American police officers really know how to do things! They've probably chased away even the stray dogs, haven't they?"
He muttered to himself as he threw off the covers and got out of bed.
I pushed open the door to the motel room, but there wasn't a soul in sight outside.
Ok?
However, he soon realized that something was wrong.
Logically speaking, it's one thing for the town's residents to be evacuated, but why is there not a soul in sight?
"Old Lin... Mom..."
He called out twice, but received no response. Suddenly, a bad feeling arose in his heart.
Just like when he was a child, he would come home from school.
But when they got home, there was no one there.
After three days of hunger at home, his parents finally returned and told him they had gone on a trip!
Thinking of this, he quickly looked towards the parking lot...
empty.
Whether it was the Ford Raptor he drove yesterday or the black SUV of that woman in red, they both vanished without a trace.
Seeing this, Lin Fan stood in the empty parking lot, bewildered in the wind.
A gust of cold wind blew by, swirling several plastic bags around his feet.
"Holy crap?"
Lin Fan stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief.
Where are they?
"Where's the car?"
"Lin Jianguo! Li Xiulan!"
After a long while, Lin Fan looked speechless.
"You guys are really something! You just throw away your own son like that? Even if I was a free gift with a phone plan, shouldn't there be some after-sales service?!"
"You left me here all alone, don't you have any conscience?!"
Lin Fan was so angry that his liver hurt.
Familiar recipe, familiar taste.
These are my biological parents.
They disappear without warning, just like that.
However, just as he was standing in front of the parking lot complaining...
A sudden burst of synchronized footsteps reached my ears.
Click, click, click.
Lin Fan turned around in confusion.
A group of people had appeared in the open space opposite the hotel.
There are twelve in total.
They were all dressed in blood-red robes, wrapped from head to toe, and wore silver masks that only revealed their eyes.
Everyone was holding a weapon.
Some carried greatswords, some carried spears, and some carried scepters.
The sunlight shone on their weapons, giving them a cold, menacing gleam.
The group of people stood there quietly, not saying a word, their twelve pairs of eyes fixed on Lin Fan with the same calm as when looking at an inanimate object.
Lin Fan was stunned for a moment.
He looked the group up and down a few times, then tentatively asked:
"Hey guys...are you at a comic convention?"
No one answered.
The leader, a man in a red robe, took a step forward.
This man was a head taller than the others, and the giant sword in his hand was as wide as a door panel, covered with strange, scribbled patterns.
"Lin Fan".
His voice was deep and hoarse, like two rusty pieces of iron rubbing together, "Son of heresy, we have come to punish you."
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow.
The lines, the look.
Could it be that church knight order that Mom was talking about at dinner yesterday?
Holy crap!
Could it be that the couple... knew these guys were coming and ran away beforehand?
I rely on!
Is this really that unreliable?
Where is your expert demeanor?
"that……"
Lin Fan pointed to the road behind them.
"You're too late. The person you're looking for has run away. If you drive after them now, you might still be able to catch up."
"No rush, we'll go find Lin Jianguo..."
The tall, imposing man at the head of the group stepped forward and spoke coldly.
"You are also our target."
"Before the purification, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Uriel, the Knight Commander of the Templars..."
Lin Fan: "..."
What the hell is your name?
"No, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor."
Lin Fan shrugged.
"The one who has a grudge against you is Lin Jianguo. What kind of skill is it for you to bully an unarmed student like me?"
"student?"
Uriel slowly raised the greatsword in his hand, its tip pointing directly at Lin Fan.
"Child of disaster, don't try to argue with us. We already know your information."
Oh……
"Looks like you came prepared!"
Lin Fan looked at Uriel with a cold smile.
He had just gotten up when he was abandoned by his parents, and then he encountered this group of lunatics.
Even though he doesn't usually have a bad temper when he wakes up, he couldn't help but feel a little irritable at this moment.
"Purify me?"
He simply stopped pretending, stood there, stiffened his neck, and said, "Fine, come on, chop this way."
He patted his carotid artery.
"Whoever doesn't chop him up is a grandson."
"You're tired of living, hurry up and give me a quick death."
As the saying goes, you get used to some things after you've experienced them a lot.
The same is true of death.
Lin Fan no longer has any fear of death, except for the slight pain.
Faced with these twelve church members who clearly weren't exactly benevolent, his choice was very straightforward.
As long as I die.
Calamity Body triggered.
Not to mention these twelve red-robed monsters, everyone within a radius of dozens of miles will have to pay with their lives.
however.
Despite Lin Fan's provocation, the twelve people opposite him remained unmoved.
A hint of mockery flashed in Uriel's eyes, hidden behind the mask.
"Want to die?"
Uriel's tone was flat.
"Before the Knights Templar, death is a luxury."
Lin Fan frowned slightly.
What does that mean?
"We have reviewed your file."
Uriel waved his hand.
Two knights stepped forward from behind.
A person holds a scepter, the top of which shimmers with a milky white halo.
The other person held a golden rope with strange runes flowing across it.
"According to intelligence, your death will trigger a disaster."
Uriel said slowly and deliberately, "Although I don't know the principle, as long as you don't die, the disaster won't happen."
"So, we won't kill you."
"We will break your limbs, seal your mouth, and maintain your vital signs with holy light at all times."
"Even if you're on your last breath, our priest can bring you back to life."
"You will live."
"And we will imprison you in the sullen tower of the temple, where you will live for eternity until your soul is completely dried up."
Lin Fan's expression froze.
These charlatans.
That's pretty harsh.
They actually figured out his skill mechanics?
You're exploiting a bug, right?
As long as you don't kill them, beat them to death?
"Scared?"
Seeing Lin Fan remain silent, Uriel assumed he was afraid, and a hint of pleasure crept into his tone.
"Heretical is heresy. In the glory of the Lord, your little tricks are meaningless."
"take away."
Uriel gave the order.
The knight holding the golden rope strode towards Lin Fan.
The runes on the rope seemed to come alive, writhing like snakes.
Lin Fan stood still, without moving.
He watched the approaching knight, then glanced at Uriel, who looked confident in the distance.
Sudden.
He smiled.
It wasn't an awkward laugh, nor a laugh of fear.
Rather, it is a kind of...
A wicked grin.
"you're right."
Lin Fan nodded, the gloom on his face vanishing. "As long as I don't die, there will be no disaster."
"This logic is very sound."
"but……"
"Who told you I needed you to kill me?"
Upon hearing this, Uriel on the other side was taken aback, and then his heart skipped a beat.
An unrealistic idea popped into his mind...
That kid's eyes...
Not right.
"What do you want to do?"
Uriel shouted sharply, "Grab him! Now!"
The knight holding the rope suddenly accelerated and reached out to grab Lin Fan's shoulder.
However, Lin Fan neither dodged nor evaded.
next second.
He pulled a switchblade from his pocket and, without hesitation, plunged it into his own heart...
At the same time, a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
"Suicide is also killing!"
