CH 82

[Black-suited personnel roughly dropped Karina to the floor.

She grimaced when the manhandling jolted her from her anesthesia-induced coma.

A woman with a gentle appearance stood before them and informed her in an airy tone: “My child, you have been chosen as the Holy Maiden. This is the greatest honor you have ever achieved.”

Karina twisted her tightly bound hands and realized that, hey, this is bad.

“If I’m thinking correctly, you’re Emily, Morris’s mother!” Karina simply gave up struggling after scoping out her predicament, and just fiercely glared at the woman she’d seen in a photograph when searching for clues earlier.

Emily frowned when she heard that name exit Karina’s mouth. “It is disrespectful to say that demon’s name while in the arms of the Lord.”

She then motioned to the bodyguard next to her with her eyes.

The man nodded respectfully, took out a silver dagger, and deftly cut a line on Karina’s wrist.

“!!!!”

Karina screeched as a universe-defying agony swept through her entire being.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You! What have you done!!”

Even though a young girl in the prime of her youth was being put in such a miserable position, the audience wasn’t sympathetic at all; some even started to cheer

“Virgin Mary! Virgin Mary!”

Tonight would be the day the Holy Maiden was sacrificed to the Lord.

To them, there was a large visual appeal to seeing such beauties become offerings.

Emily took off the necklace around her neck with a sympathetic look.

“The blood of the maiden will wash away all sins, and that demon will be banished forever.”

“Tonight will be the day of judgment!”

The necklace was placed into a silver bowl full of Karina’s blood, waiting for it to regain its previous luster.

However, as Karina’s blood was gradually sucked into the pendant, the necklace’s originally smooth, black colored appearance started to break into cracks.

Seeing this result, similar cracks broke apart Emily’s expression.

“No, no-how could this happen! No!!!”

She hissed down at the girl kneeling on the carpet, “You damned bitch! You’re unclean!”

Karina, revealing a malicious smirk.

Her original sky blue eyes had somehow turned a fuller hue.

“Of course, my dear mother, and tonight is Judgement Day, isn’t it.”]

——From《Nightmare》

Zhou Yu hugged the crow who was repeatedly rubbing against his neck. His rising depression had all but dissipated, and he couldn’t help laughing, “Haha, that tickles.”

“You must be hungry. Let’s go, I’ll get you something to eat.”

Holding this crow that seemed to imprint on him, Zhou Yu tentatively closed the open window.

“Kakakak–” The crow in his embrace docilely clicked with bright red eyes were clearly trying to sell meng.

This thing really isn’t very vigilant.

Zhou Yu beamed and walked into the hallway.

Sunlight came in through the windows of the living room, lighting up the dingy room.

A pale middle-aged man lay quietly on the sofa, his face blanketed with white powder, and a slightly torn bag was even hanging from his grip—a lot of it was strewn all over his shirt.

It seemed that even the threat of death couldn’t stop his addiction.

Zhou Yu briefly glanced at the overturned trash can; apparently Eugene had riffled through it in order to find the “God’s Blessing”.

Uninterested in checking on Eugene’s state of life or death, Zhou Yu bypassed the messy sofa and walked into the kitchen.

Opening a refrigerator that had lost its only function of preservation, the youth took out a gallon of expired milk and some oatmeal.

He could only eat this stuff due to the fact that he’d spent the last of his money and because he wanted to save the only bread and eggs he had left.

Will the crow like this?

Doubting his instincts, Zhou Yu solemnly soaked two plates of oatmeal with milk, one for the crow, and the other for himself.

“Ka–” The crow stood on the table, with a dish of oatmeal milk in front of it.

Watching the vapor of the warm milk rise, it couldn’t help tilting its head.

“Do crows have a sense of taste?” Zhou Yu picked up a spoonful and took a bite, then stared at the crow that was pecking at the cereal in surprise.

The crow swallowed a piece of soaked meal into his stomach and gazed at the teen who was actually showing a little bit of youthful zeal for once.

His Zhou Yu finally wasn’t frowning.

“It seems that you like it.” Zhou Yu’s eyes crinkled as a touching smile appeared on his pale face. “I don’t appreciate it myself, personally”

“Kakak—” Noticing Zhou Yu’s grin, the crow bobbed his neck in excitement and screeched.

“Okay, you should leave, and I have to go to class … Ah, I forgot, today’s the weekend.”

The dark-haired and green-eyed teenager blinked at the calendar on the side wall.

“The police station might not be open yet.”

Zhou Yu walked to the sofa and glared at the corpse lying on it, expressionless.

The crow balanced on Zhou Yu’s shoulder with ruby ​​eyes reflecting the ugly silhouette.

And the extremely thick black gas entangled with his aura.

There’s no doubt that this was a sinful soul.

Click—

The boy trotted to the porch and left the scrap heap of a building.

The weather today was very nice; it might have been due to the cleansing of the rain yesterday, but the blue sky was incomparably clear, and the wind whistled in a refreshing breeze.

Zhou Yu looked at the crow sitting in his arms and smiled helplessly: “I still have something to do, see you tomorrow.”

This is a wild crow that doesn’t deserve captivity—it needed to stay in the freedom of the skies.

“Kakak, ka—” the crow cried sadly, but was still ruthlessly plucked off by Zhou Yu and dropped onto a branch.

The crow stood on the branch, and it seemed like it would never stop cawing in sulkiness.

Zhou Yu, who was about to leave, had to stop and turn around in exasperation while trying to soothe it: “Well, we’ll see each other again tomorrow, so don’t yell at me so wretchedly.”

The red-eyed, intelligent crow seems to have revealed some human-like grievances “…I keep feeling like everything I run into acts like Morris. “

Watching the crow’s aggrieved body language, he seemed to see a coquettish Morris that urged him to agree to every request, it was strange.

“…Ca-” The crow’s flapping wings paused, and even it’s open beak snapped closed, which was similar to a deer caught in headlights

“…” After seeing this crow’s performance, Zhou Yu, who was only momentarily doubtful previously, couldn’t help showing a skeptical expression.

“Morris?” The dark-haired youth narrowed his beautiful green eyes.

The crow shook his head, vehemently denying any knowledge of this “Morris”.

Zhou Yu helplessly and gently chuckled: “Morris, you don’t have to worry about me, I’ll be careful, and I swear that I’ll stay in the city tonight, I won’t go to that villa. “

Morris, this guy. Acting the same as usual.

He was usually very clever, but when he stood in front of Zhou Yu, his IQ immediately plummeted to 0, like a child with a short attention span begging for attention.

It’s just that this time he (M) was toeing his (ZY) bottom line.

Zhou Yu thought of the crow that kept flapping wings just now and replaced it with Morris, then burst into laughter.

If viewed in human form, wasn’t Morris just rolling around?

He took the crow who was acting awkward because his identity had been laid bare and kissed his little head, giggling, “Morris, you know I’m not that weak, don’t you? “

The Zhou Yu of two weeks ago may have been a bread roll that had no fighting capability, but now he could easily put down a bully.

Morris naturally knew this as he’d watched him the whole time.

But knowing that someone could take care of themselves doesn’t assuage a worriers’ anxiety. The enemy this time wasn’t immature and violent children, but felons who truly belonged to the dark side of the world.

How exactly could Morris stay calm?

“Keep this crow near you, it’s been ordered to protect you against danger.”

Morris’s disembodied voice drifted from the bird’s beak.

Zhou Yu knew Morris intimately and realized that if he didn’t take the crow, the man would just end up being continuously high-strung.

So he grinned and promised with glimmering eyes.

“Ok, no problem.”

The crow tilted his neck uncomfortably with a more-or-less embarrassed attitude.

“Goodbye, Zhou Yu, I’ll be back in a little bit, when I get done with some things.”

Zhou Yu pursed his lips in silence, pausing for a moment before replying, “I hope everything goes well, Morris.”

Watching the bright red eyes of the crow in his arms turn to black, Zhou Yu’s cheerful demeanor abruptly faded back into his consistent apathy.

He heed Morris’s advice and not wander around.

Although he was worried about his friend, the youth knew how weak he was.

Following would just cause complications. He observed the villa yesterday and didn’t think he would be of any help.

“Cawcaw—” The crow in his embrace suddenly extended its wings, flew out and landed on the branch from earlier.

Zhou Yu studied the crow that was staring at him and then headed over to the street corner not far away.

There was a public telephone there.

Entering the unmanned booth, Zhou Yu inserted some coins and dialed the number of the police station.

“Hey? Please help me, my dad, he, he! He passed out! He, wuwuwu-I don’t know, I really don’t know what happened….OK, the address is …”

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Yu stopped creating a blubbering facade and returned to his detached bearing.

Woooooooo—wooo—

The whistle of a police car and several policemen in police uniforms soon poured into the shabby and gloomy house.

The dark-haired teen stood by the side feigning anxiety while watching the police examine the situation.

The inspection went quickly as Zhou Yu stood on the side pretending to be upset and helpless until they lifted the heavy body into the police car.

“Sorry boy, you’ll need to come back to the police station with us to report what happened.” One of the officers put away the logbook they had with them, and gently appeased the young man who’s life had suddenly and irreversibly changed forever.

“Ok.”

This is really troublesome.

Zhou Yu nodded with a lowered head, which made it hard for others to see his expression.

It’s probably because of that “God’s Blessing”.

Thinking of the white residue that was collected as evidence, Zhou Yu followed the policeman in front of him and walked out of the house.

“Ca- caawww!”

The crow, perched silently on the tree by the sidewalk, suddenly hollered with terrible keening.

Zhou Yu stepped out of the house and looked around in doubt and found nothing wrong, but he still halted immediately and didn’t move forward.

He believed in Morris’s reminder and thought that there must be something dangerous in the neighborhood he hadn’t noticed.

Under the street light across the house, a tall man with an exaggeratedly muscular figure looked at the address on his watch with a cold face before hefting a heavy laser gun that had apperated in his hand.

Boom—

A police car parked on the side of the road exploded, and a huge, hot, shockwave threw Zhou Yu and the policeman nearest him to the lawn.

“Ooph!” The policeman was pierced through by shrapnel from the smashed car door, ending his life in an instant.

Zhou Yu’s dark green eyes trembled as he speechlessly stared at the body of the policeman who had protected him.

Bang!

The laser beam went off again, and the other two policemen standing by the house turned into smoke.

Zhou Yu carefully laid the policeman’s body on the flat ground, then dragged his sprained ankle to stand up

The sound of the explosion was too loud. His ears were still ringing and blood was pouring down his face from gash in his forehead. He couldn’t see anything, much less who the shooter was.

About all he could do was run and hide behind various things.

“Caaawww!!” The crow shrieked, with his sharp talons clawing at the big man who was getting closer.

Warren looked at his second destination [1], and had some impatience about the law enforcement situation here, so he just shot them.

These officers were nothing but background objects in horror movies that had no effect on the plot, so it was of no consequence to break them

He’d been delayed too much, he might not be able to finish the task by nighttime.

Watching the teenager in the holograph ruing to run and hide in the side house, Warren immediately sped up and raised his gun, ready to shoot the cannon fodder’s leg so that he couldn’t escape.

But for some reason, a crow suddenly attacked him, and those claws scratched skin that had been strengthened nth times over.

“What the hell!”

Warren quickly raised his laser gun and knocked the crow to the ground.

The crow squeaked a few times, and its breath kept flowing out along with viscera from the big hole in its chest.

A dark light flashed in its black eyes, and curses that were fatal to mortals leaked from its eyes.

Warren glared at the bird that fell to the ground and then swayed at the abrupt onset of vertigo.

He immediately took out Samael’s Staff in the backpack space and felt everything go back to normal in a split second.

Warren clenched Samael’s Staff in his hand, and trampled the dead crow into a pool of goop with a rush of savagery.  

He needed to hurry up, it was ominous when even a regular crow could injure him.
