Your Majesty, drink the medicine quickly

Chapter 361 Devil
Lip rolled his eyes secretly. He knew that something bad would happen if Katerina interrupted him.

Katerina realized that she had said the wrong thing and looked a little embarrassed. She quickly said, "We are locals, but I am a knight of the Thorn Birds. I have been fighting outside in recent years and have not been back for more than a year. I just came back with my husband, so I don't know much about the things in the city."

The father showed a look of realization. It sounds like this young lady knows something about Auroville, but only about Auroville a year ago. At that time, the Thorn Birds were still called the Thorn Birds.

Lip was afraid that Katerina would say too much and let something slip, so he interrupted with a smile, "Yes, a lot has changed in this year. In the past, although life was hard and tiring, at least I had a goal, so I was fulfilled and happy. Now that I am free from worries, I can't find any fun."

The father nodded and sighed: "Yes, now there is no entertainment except 'relief'."

As he spoke, he touched his son's head and said, "The child has grown up, and it's time for him to get involved in these things. Since last week, I have been taking my son out to help the poor every day."

Li Pu said "Oh" as if he suddenly realized something. He looked at the child who had come out with his father to help others and smiled kindly.

At this time, the little boy pointed to a little refugee boy in front of a shack not far away and said, "Father, I want this. He is the same age as me. I want to help him."

The father shook his head to stop him and said, "No, no, no, he doesn't need help."

My father looked at a couple kneeling outside a rotten tent. The man had no sign hanging around his neck, and the woman was a bit pretty.

They looked haggard, but loving and relatively clean. They were new refugees who had not suffered much.

The father said, "Son, you have no experience and don't understand. We should help people like this."

Having said that, the father said goodbye to the two of them and took the child away.

Katerina was confused. She looked at Lip and asked, "Why don't they help those who are suffering the most? They seem to have food and water, and they are not desperate yet. They should be able to hold on for a while."

Lip shook his head and said nothing: "Come on, Katerina, let's not watch it. You won't be able to bear it."

Elizabeth's voice reached the hearts of the two people: "Brother-in-law, don't hide it from my sister. This kind of thing is everywhere in and outside the city. She will see it sooner or later."
Katerina frowned and asked, "What are you and Elizabeth hiding from me?"

At this moment, a mournful plea came from the refugee couple not far away.

Katerina looked over there and saw the citizen father, grinning and hugging the refugee husband's neck from behind. In his hand, he held a knife, as if he was going to execute the refugee husband.

The refugee husband did not dare to resist, but kept begging the citizen to let his family go: "Master, please don't do this, we don't need food, we don't need relief, let me go, I have a child, don't let her see it."

The refugee’s wife was also crying: “Please, citizen, please don’t do this, give us some hope, we can survive, we can survive!”

The citizen father ignored the two men's pleas and handed the knife to his son. The little boy took the knife, smiled excitedly, and cut the husband's throat.

"Nip, what are he, what are they doing?" Katerina asked with a stiff face.

Lip said, "Looking for fun."

Katerina: "Looking for fun?"

Lip said, "Yeah, for fun. They are using the excuse of helping refugees to have fun."

Elizabeth's words appear in the book.

[Andarinel is named after pain. The devil's happiness is built on the pain of others.]

[The people of Dawn City were very afraid of his rule. So when the devil came here, the smart citizens of Dawn City made a request to the devil. The devils of the Pleasure Hell wanted to treat people like the gods in heaven and turn Dawn City into a paradise. They wanted to meet all the needs of the people.]

【The devil agreed to this condition and began His reign.】

[He gave people abundant food, endless wealth, endless works of art, and endless joy. ]

[He is like God, taking care of his people, giving them meticulous care and satisfying all their desires.] [The land in the city is made of soft bread, and the rivers in the city flow with milk.]

[There is no aging or death here. Life is eternal. ]

【People seem to be living in paradise, but they are becoming more and more miserable. 】

[God fills the gap of human desires. The extreme of joy is pain.]

[After people lost all their desires, they also lost their souls. They wandered numbly in this paradise like shells.]

[They are constantly searching for desire, which is the source of their existence and their salvation.]

[Finally, the peaceful days of Dawn City were broken—a group of refugees arrived from outside the city.]

【God told people: "Your salvation has come."】

【God gave people two choices, both of which could stop them from suffering.】

[One is to give those people hope and share their happiness. ]

[Another is to give them despair and share their happiness from their pain.]

[People initially chose the first path of salvation, but gradually, they found that it was difficult for them to empathize with other people's happiness. ]

[This road is not exciting enough. It cannot stimulate their souls that have long been numb to happiness.]

[On the contrary, whenever they saw those suffering people feel happy and satisfied because of a small piece of bread, these citizens of Dawn, who had lost the right to satisfaction and happiness, felt deep jealousy.]

[One day, a citizen killed a hopeful person while giving relief. He felt a great sense of satisfaction from the despair and pain of that person.]

【Evil is contagious.】

[——Andarinel is the culprit! He is extremely mean, extremely sinister, and a complete devil. ]

[The fall of the citizens of the City of Dawn was caused by Him, but this devil had given them many opportunities to turn back. He even gave them a true path to redemption.]

[But at this crossroads of fate, people ultimately chose the path of depravity that leads to the abyss of desire.]

【The citizens of Dawn cannot redeem themselves.】

The citizen father threw down a piece of white bread, grabbed the desperate mother's hair with a grim smile, and dragged her to the tent: "This piece of bread, half of it buys your husband's worthless life, and the other half buys your service!"

"Please, sir! My child is still in the tent, don't do this in front of him!"

The citizen father became excited and asked: "Is your child a boy or a girl?"

The mother showed a look of despair, and the citizen father grinned and threw out half a piece of bread, then dragged her into the tent.

Lip turned back to Katerina and said, "Go, Katerina, grab the documents - don't kill anyone."

Katerina drew the sword from her waist and walked over.

"Alas." Li Pu shook his head and looked at the naughty kid who was torturing the corpse not far away. He walked over with a gentle smile.
