Chapter 218: Fragments of the Key to Courage
“Ahhhh, what?”
A playful smile appeared on Bai Ying's lips.
"Those parents are the ones who sold you to me!"
"Do you think they really love you? No, they just pushed you into the fire pit for the sake of money, for those insignificant silver coins."
He whispered in the girl's ear, and every word was like a sharp blade, cutting the last line of defense in the girl's heart.
"These two guys, knowing that we have the habit of eating people, still decided to send you to us."
"And this is just so that your brother can have a meal of meat on his birthday."
"After all, women who come back from the Goblin's lair have already lost their value as human beings, so it's not worth marrying them off."
"Varied……"
The girl's eyes widened in disbelief, and then she was swallowed by despair.
"No, it's not... it's not..."
She murmured, her voice weak and trembling.
Bai Ying chuckled, as if everything was under control.
"Yeah, then let's just take it as it is."
He patted the girl's shoulder gently, as if to comfort her, but with an irresistible majesty.
"Hey, girl, I remember your name is Xiaoyu, right?"
"Xiaoyu, I'll give you a choice."
"As long as you can let this guy eat a piece of meat, it doesn't matter whether you let your parents go or kill them."
The girl took the bowl with trembling hands. In the bowl was a piece of bright red meat, which she was once familiar with but now found disgusting.
"Eat, please."
The girl looked at De Zheng pleadingly with tears in her eyes.
"ate"
Even though they abandoned her, they still gave birth to her and raised her.
"I--"
"eat"
De Zheng interrupted the girl, lowered his head, and said submissively:
"I eat!"
"Is this right?"
The villains laughed out loud with ferocious faces:.
"Don't worry, it's delicious."
"after all."
Bai Ying looked at everyone and said with a smile:
“That’s how we got here.”
"Hahahahaha!"
Bai Ying's words caused everyone to laugh.
De Zheng clenched his fists, hating his own incompetence.
His dream was to be a righteous knight, but now his dream has deviated and he has become an adventurer.
But he still looks forward to that day.
Looking at the meat in front of him, De Zheng was thinking.
If he eats it, will he lose his bottom line as a human being?
If only he were stronger.
You won’t be faced with such a choice.
I'm sorry, mom and dad.
If you can't even protect the life in front of you, how can you be a knight of justice? !
De Zheng swallowed and drooled just as he was about to eat.
"no, do not want!"
Xiaoyu suddenly burst out with unprecedented strength and knocked away the bowl of disgusting "food", with unprecedented firmness and determination in her voice:
"do not eat!"
This shout penetrated every corner of the basement and shook the hearts of everyone present.
De Zheng's eyes were filled with confusion and heartache as he stared blankly at the crying girl.
"why."
"In that case, your parents"
"Xiaoxue knows"
Xiaoyu's tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string, and she choked up and said:
"Even if you eat it, they will kill me, my mom and dad, they are beasts."
Her voice became lower and lower, but it was filled with unspeakable pain and self-blame.
"So am I in helping them."
"Yu'er, you're a bad kid."
Xiaoxue raised her eyes, her eyes filled with tears and pain.
"But you are not."
"you"
Dezheng was about to say something, but was interrupted by an angry roar.
"What the hell are you doing, man?"
Snapped!
The next moment, Xiaoyu was knocked away by a powerful force and fell heavily to the ground.
De Zheng roared and tried to rush forward, but was held firmly by the villain's men, unable to move. "It's really a waste of time!"
Bai Ying sneered and signaled his men to untie the cloth strips that bound the two men.
At that moment, Xiaoyu's parents finally showed their true colors, with only greed and cruelty in their eyes.
"You little beast, aren't you just eating a piece of meat?"
They roared as if all evil was justified.
"Are you going to be content only if you watch your parents die?"
"Who hasn't eaten this during the famine a few years ago?"
next moment.
A cold light flashed, and the knife light was as fast as lightning, instantly cutting through the gloomy space.
The two people's voices suddenly stopped, and were frozen at that moment forever.
"I originally thought that you were in the same group with us."
Looking at the slowly approaching white shadow, the girl felt calm.
Even the words her parents said before they died failed to stir any emotion in her heart.
betray?
This is not the first time.
No.
Maybe not betrayal.
They themselves had no obligation to help her.
Putting aside their status as parents, her parents have no obligation to raise her, right?
Goblin?
How are humans any better than goblins?
The girl shook hands and suddenly realized.
At some point, a dagger appeared in her hand.
Hold tight.
“I didn’t mean to kill you.”
Bai Ying's expression gradually became gloomy.
"Is it bad to be alive?"
"did you know!"
Bai Ying became more and more excited as he spoke.
"How did we survive that hell?!"
"For what? Just to survive!"
"What I hate most is people who give up their lives easily!"
"I'll give you a chance, kill that guy"
Bai Ying stared at the dagger in the girl's hand and said:
"Use the dagger in your hand"
"Kill them, and we will accept you."
"Become us, the disciples of the Gate of Truth!"
Shiro spread his arms and laughed crazily.
give up?
The girl clenched the dagger in her hand.
Doesn't she want to live?
She wants to live!
No matter what, you have to survive.
But what can she do?
"Humph!"
Bai Ying looked at the girl in front of him who was like a puppet and had no reaction. He snorted coldly, very disappointed, and raised the knife.
"In that case, then you go die!"
No matter when it started, she has always been submissive.
She's tired of it.
I remembered the goblin that kept getting up.
If only she had the courage of that goblin.
courage?
Give me a little at least.
She is a coward and a bad kid.
"Stand up and kill him"
Almost at the same time, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.
