Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 562 Everyone must die

Chapter 562 Everyone must die

"Where are you two coming from? Is this still China?"

Miao Yinzi stopped, looked at the surrounding environment and the three people in front of him, and said this to Sun Huang.

"Hehe..." Huang Donglai smiled awkwardly, "Master, this place is called Transylvania, I wonder if you have heard of it?"

"I've heard that I'm that one!" Miao Yinzi made a very rude gesture at the time, and it was obvious that he was very angry.

However, even though he was angry, he still trusted Shuangxie and knew that they would not bring him here for no reason, so after a few words of ridicule, he continued, "Forget it, tell me, what's going on?"

When Sun Huang saw that Miao Yinzi had given him a way out, he decided to leave quickly. So they briefly summarized to Miao Yinzi what had happened here and introduced Philibert who was standing nearby to him.

Philibert was also a very polite young man. When he saw Shuangxie introduce himself, he took a few steps forward to greet Miao Yinzi.

unexpectedly……

The next second, Miao Yinzi actually responded directly, and he did not use any translation techniques, but responded directly in a foreign language.

These words sounded awkward to Sun Huang, who was using translation skills.

"Wow, Taoist priest, what are you talking about?" Sun Yixie asked curiously.

"Latin." Miao Yinzi answered in a matter-of-fact tone, "What's wrong?"

"Where did you learn this?" Huang Donglai was also confused.

"Didn't Tyrael live in the mountains for a while last year? I learned some English and Latin from him when I had nothing to do." Miao Yinzi said, "You know what...it was only after I learned it that I realized I have a talent for languages. I can understand them very quickly. I would like to learn a few more languages ​​if I have the chance in the future."

"Oh...you are really multi-talented." Huang Donglai nodded and continued.

"I am a man of both virtue and talent." Miao Yinzi said, raising her whisk and hitting Huang Donglai on the head. "Is this the time to flatter? You two are in trouble again, don't you know?"

Upon hearing this, Sun and Huang looked at each other in surprise.

"What do you mean?" Sun Yi asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the Taoist priests on the mountain can't handle Hugo, and we replaced him and put the other side in danger?"

"They are not dangerous at all." Miao Yinzi denied with a look of disgust, "We are the ones in danger." He paused, and then said, "Have you ever considered what will happen to this city after Hugo and Nancy are gone?"

Before he finished speaking, the castle shook again, just like when the boundary between the two worlds was broken in the first place.

"Oh no..." Huang Donglai seemed to understand. "With Hugo, the controller, gone, and Nancy, the stable hub, gone... the two worlds will most likely be separated again, and the castle in the surface world will collapse into its original ruins."

"Fuck! You just remembered this now?" Sun Yixie cursed, "The demolition team is about to blow up the building and you just remembered to go out, right?"

Before Huang Donglai could say anything, Miao Yinzi said, "Stop arguing. Let's go to the organ room first. The most urgent thing is to help the remaining Western comrades here escape."

Because the situation was urgent, Miao Yinzi was already walking out when he said this, and had no intention of discussing it with Sun Huang.

Seeing this, Shuangxie and Philibert had no choice but to catch up quickly.

With Miao Yinzi's cultivation level, it was no problem for him to see through the various "trap arrays" in the castle. He walked a very short route as if he had a map in his mind, opened and closed the "transfer door" several times, and arrived at the organ room easily.

At this time, the people left in the house were: Coman and his unconscious wife, Tyrael, Roman and Balder.

They all gathered near a carpet with a magic circle drawn on it in the corner of the room, but Andrei and Maria were nowhere to be found. As for the organ playing, it had stopped just before the earthquake.

"Oh! You're still alive!" Tyrael saw an acquaintance coming to the door and immediately went up to greet him, "Master Miao Yinzi? Why are you here too?"

"It's a long story." At this time, in order to cooperate with Sun Huang so that they could understand him more fluently and to prevent meeting people who spoke different languages ​​later, Miao Yinzi used a translation spell on himself on the way to the organ room. "Let's talk about it after we escape."

Miao Yinzi responded while walking to the corner of the room and taking a look at the magic circle on the ground.

"You don't have to wait, Andre and Maria won't come back." After just a few seconds of looking, he said this.

As we mentioned in the previous article, each of the Taoist priests at the head level of Xuanqi Sect has his own strengths.

Budongzi is good at divination and fortune-telling, Chunchenzi is proficient in talismans, alchemy and illusion, and Miaoyinzi... is good at magic weapons and formations, so these Western magic formation rituals that even Huang Donglai can modify a little are child's play in the eyes of Miaoyinzi.

"Old Immortal, Yixie, you lead everyone to retreat first." Miao Yinzi then said, "After leaving this room, go down the stairs when you see them, turn left when you see a painting with the word 'water' on the wall, open the door next to the chandelier with an even number of candlesticks and go in, and you will soon find a way out of the city."

"No... who are you?" Coman looked at the oriental Taoist in front of him, who looked to be in his early twenties, dressed in Taoist robes and spoke in a very arrogant manner. His head was full of question marks. For a moment, it was really difficult for him to accept Miao Yinzi's command.

"Stop talking so much. This is my master. Just listen to what he says." Huang Donglai was afraid that the lord would make his master unhappy and start a quarrel, so he quickly stepped forward and pulled Coman out.

"Without further delay, let's listen to the Taoist priest." Tyrael also knew that Miao Yinzi was much more reliable than Sun Huang, so he immediately joined in and asked Balde and Roman to follow.

Unexpectedly...

"Wait, you must be Roman." At this moment, Miao Yinzi called out to Roman, "You have to stay for a moment, I have something to tell you."

This statement surprised everyone a little.

Of course, Roman himself seemed to have already vaguely sensed something...

After a breath, Roman said with his usual stern attitude: "Well, you guys retreat first. I think this gentleman needs my help..." He even glanced at Tyrael, "Tyrael, let's meet outside."

He spoke these few words in a very restrained manner, without revealing any emotional changes, and the content of his words was quite ordinary, so everyone greeted him a few more times and then left.

Soon, Miao Yinzi and Roman were the only ones left in the organ room.

"You must be Taoist Master Miao Yinzi, right?" Roman already knew Miao Yinzi's identity from what Tyrael and Huang Donglai had just said. "I've heard about your deeds. Nice to meet you."

"I've also heard Tyrael mention you, Mr. Nicholas Roman." Miao Yinzi said as he slowly walked towards the organ.

Seeing this, Roman slowly walked over to his side.

These two were both masters, and they had some sympathy for each other, so some things were harder to say.

"Do you know how long you have been 'over there'?" Miao Yinzi thought about it and decided to start with this question.

“I don’t know.” Roman answered first, paused, and then added, “But I guess… it’s been too long.”

"Yeah...it's been too long." When Miao Yinzi said this, she was already pressing some keys on the organ in a regular pattern.

Naturally, he didn't know how to play this instrument, but he could tell at a glance how to use this magic weapon made from the flesh and blood of countless wronged souls, so he was now using the simplest method of operation to influence the current castle through this organ; on the one hand, this could guide the remaining, scattered rangers in the castle to escape out of the city; on the other hand, it could also delay the speed of the castle's collapse.

"What will happen to me if I step out of this castle?" Roman then asked directly.

"Your life span is almost over. You will become old and frail and dying within three days after you get out. You will probably not live more than seven days after that." Miao Yinzi replied.

"So what you mean is... let me stay?" Roman asked again.

"It's useless to stay here." Miao Yinzi shook her head. "Unless you go back to 'the other side' and continue to suffer in that hell, you will quickly grow old and die in this castle ruin."

“Hmm.” Roman thought for a moment, “Then I’d better choose… to die outside.” He was still very calm, as if he had accepted this outcome calmly. “You kept me here just to tell me this, right? Thank you very much.”

After saying that, Roman turned around and left.

But at this moment, another figure appeared at the door, blocking Roman's way.

That person was Balder who had returned.

"Why are you back again?" Roman asked suspiciously.

“I heard everything you said just now.” Balder’s answer surprised and puzzled Roman. “Mr. Roman, I think I might be able to offer you an additional option.”

"Have you made up your mind?" Miao Yinzi suddenly took over the conversation, as if he had known that Balde would come back and knew what the "choice" Balde was talking about was.

"Ah... of course." Balder said in a deep voice, "I have never been more sure than I am now."

This is the truth, and at this moment, he seems to have understood everything.

He finally understood why he ended up here at this time after so many twists and turns, and why his previous attempts to survive, die, find the truth, and be complete... all ended in failure due to his anxiety about gains and losses.

When he was young, Balde was a devout believer. Under the arrangement of the church, he followed Father Norchi to exorcise demons everywhere and acquired a lot of skills. At this time, he was like a seeker of truth.

In his middle age, Balder continued to follow the corrupt Father Norchi and aid him in his atrocities for the sake of his previous oath and his reputation; although he also tried his best to help some people, he had already become a person who had lost his way at that time.

And now, he finally saw everything clearly. He saw that all his previous experiences, all his struggles... were tests from God. They were all necessary for this moment, for him to sacrifice himself to save Roman and become a martyr.

On the other hand, Roman was a little confused when he first heard Balde's words. Although Roman and Balde had just fought side by side for a few hours, they had known each other for a short time. Therefore, the former did not know the latter's past and did not quite understand what the other was going to do.

But soon Roman guessed something from the other party's expression and the fact that Hugo had clearly pointed out that Balde could correspond to the "repentant soul" in a certain ritual.

"You two have already made up your mind. There is no need to worry about it any more." Miao Yinzi, who knew everything, did not wait for the two to communicate. He operated the organ and said, "It is no coincidence that I am here today. Only by being here can I complete this matter."

…………

Ten minutes later, outside the main gate of the castle.

When the rangers entered the city, it was broad daylight, but now it was already dark outside.

Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai, Tyrrell, Philibert, and Coman who was carrying his wife on his back, were the first six people to escape.

It was only when they were almost at the exit that they realized Balder had left the team at some point, but it was unlikely for them to go back and look for him at this point.

Then, not too long after, other rangers escaped from the castle one after another; they were undoubtedly the survivors who were guided out under Miao Yinzi's "operation", but this process took some time, some longer and some shorter.

Fortunately, the collapse of the castle did not happen all at once, or in other words... even if it completely collapsed and turned into its original ruins, some people could still climb out of it, but the chances of being crushed to death or trapped to death would be higher.

Just like this, after a while, Lao Feng, Zhuangke, An Zhui, Mi Gen, and dozens of other rangers also ran out one by one.

It seems that Hugo's previous claim of "mostly dealing with those rangers" was just bragging. Many rangers who he thought had been forced into desperate situations and would die if left alone, successfully overcame the difficulties and finally survived.

Of course, there were still quite a few wounded. After all, even Sun Huang was injured. It was really good to be able to get out alive.

In this way, everyone continued to wait at the city gate, hoping to see more survivors; at the same time, they also exchanged information.

After hearing about what happened to Sun Huang and the stories of Andre and Maria, Lao Feng and the others sighed, and the rangers all expressed their admiration for the real Philibert...

The wait lasted for a moment.

Finally, there was no movement in the castle, and the inside looked like a quiet ruin again. Lao Feng's cross and the scar on Brother Sun's face no longer reacted.

"Something's wrong? Why hasn't my master come out yet?" Huang Donglai was not panicking, because he knew Miao Yinzi was probably fine. He was just wondering why he had been delayed for so long.

Sun Yixie remained silent, but was already secretly suspecting with his defensive mentality: Did Balde, who disappeared halfway, come up with some conspiracy and go back to stab Miao Yinzi and Roman?

Tyrael, on the other hand, should be the most panicked one right now. He has finally reunited with Roman and is really afraid that something unexpected will happen in the end.

It was at this time that suddenly...

In the distance, footsteps were heard on the only mountain road that led everyone to the castle.

That was not the voice of one or two people, but the sound of a large group of people marching.

Within a few minutes, a large amount of flames and human figures emerged from that side.

Lao Feng immediately stepped forward, came to the bridge head, looked up, and his first reaction was overjoyed: "Great! It's the church!"

Lao Feng believed that the church had learned about the situation here through some means and sent people to reinforce.

However, Sun Huang doesn't think so...

They had such sharp eyes that they didn't need to go forward. They could already see from their original position that, a little ahead of the large group of people, surrounded by many guards, there was an old man on horseback wearing a bishop's robe, and beside the old man were two figures they had seen before.

Everyone knew these two men. They were the killer brothers who had been captured alive by the rangers and handed over to the local authorities. They were the elder brother Sip Popescu and the younger brother Ion Popescu.

Of course, I know that when I say this, many people will ask, who are these people? I have long forgotten them.

So I'll just mention this: the younger brother is the big, stupid one who doesn't wash his hands before eating; the older brother is the short, cruel and ruthless one whose pants were pulled up by Brother Sun when he had diarrhea.

These two were well-known killers and wanted criminals. Logically, they would not be able to escape the double hanging after being handed over to the government. However... they appeared here now and stood with the church people.

Of course, there is someone with great connections helping them.

The person who saved them... or the person who could get them released through some "operations" was the old bishop who was riding on the horse at this moment.

We have mentioned this person in the previous article. He is actually the "superior" of Father Norch. He is the umbrella that enabled the Order of the Ring to act arrogantly in the local area in the past years without being liquidated... Nearly half of the wealth looted by the Order of the Ring actually fell into his pocket.

We won't keep you in suspense here. His name was Matej. As the bishop of one of the largest dioceses in Romania at the time, Matej was very skilled in using ecclesiastical power for personal gain.

Compared to him, local tyrants like Norchi who bully men and women are nothing compared to him; the Order of the Ring is just one of Matei's many money bags...

People like Matei, who use the most righteous banner but have been squeezing donations from ordinary people and believers for decades to satisfy the selfish desires of himself and his cronies... are the real traitors and evildoers.

And now Matei appeared here, and met with the two killers whom he had contacted through his men without any hesitation... In Sun Huang's opinion, this was 120% certain that he was here to "silence" them.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Lao Feng's expression changed from surprise to shock.

Because the troops led by Matei not only did not come to greet and help the wounded rangers who had just fought a desperate battle with the evil forces, but instead blocked the other end of the moat bridge, lined up in a battle array, pulled their bows and crossbows, set up their muskets, and prepared to open fire from across the river.

"Pagans ahead!" An old hand like Matei would first put the blame on them and then make demands. "Your crimes of kidnapping girls from nearby villages and performing evil sacrifices here have been discovered by the church. Now you have two options..."

"Okay, you don't need to say anything." Sun Yixie walked directly to the bridge and interrupted loudly, "I know your two options. One is to be shot on the spot, and the other is to surrender... and then be paraded through the streets and burned to death, right?"

"Hmph..." Matei sneered. He did not answer the other party. He just turned around and lowered his voice to Xipu beside his horse and said, "Is it him?"

"Yes, I would recognize him even if he turned into ashes." Xipu gritted his teeth and looked at Sun Yixie in the distance and replied, "The one walking towards him now is another one."

At this time, Huang Donglai also stepped forward and stood beside Sun Yixie, and shouted: "The man on the horse, considering that all of us are about to die, can you tell me your name?"

"That's Bishop Matei." The next second, Matei didn't reply, but Coman whispered behind Huang Donglai.

It was no surprise that Coman recognized Matei, because part of his territory was also within the other party's diocese. As a noble, it was impossible for him not to have dealt with the church before: "I used to suspect that the Divine Ring was working under his protection, and now it seems to be true... Oh, it's a pity that I seem to understand it a little late."

"Oh? You know him?" Sun Yixie turned around immediately and whispered, "Why don't you go forward and reveal your identity? Maybe he will give you, the lord, some face."

“Heh…” Coman laughed. “Even if I reveal my identity, he can just play dumb and say I’m an imposter. Anyway, after he kills us all, if he says I’m me, then I’m right. If he says I’m not me, then I’m not right… I don’t want to humiliate myself before I die.”

When they said these words, Matei finally responded: "Pagans! Don't waste your time. I don't need to say more to you. If you don't want to surrender, you will all die here today! Then you can ask God for my name."

"Hmph..." Huang Donglai sneered, "Okay, you wait, forget about the others, but today you have to die in shit."

“Hahahaha…” Matei felt that he had won and thought that the other party was just saying this before he died, so he laughed out loud. He loved the feeling of his prey struggling to death in his hands. And because he was so happy, he couldn’t help but become a little playful. “Well, I want to see how you make me die in shit today, my Oriental friend.”

As soon as these words were spoken and the voice fell, a loud bang was heard from the ruins of the castle.

Three figures flew out in response.

The two men on the left and right, one with black hair, wearing red, the other with blond hair, wearing green, both had oval heads and big eyes. Many demon hunters could recognize that these two were brothers of different surnames, two members of Roman's elite team - Terrence and Philip.

The sturdy man who rushed out of the castle ruins with them and stood in the middle was their fellow villager and friend, and also the one we haven't seen for a long time... Ugly Bob.

Ugly Bob was certainly not dead. Not only that, after parting with everyone in the banquet hall, he went through a long adventure alone and successfully found his two old friends who had long been thought to be dead in an area that was "sealed in time".

And now that they had escaped, the first words they said were the three of them shouting in unison to the army on the other side of the bridge...

"We're not your friends, man!"
