Chapter 142: Misty Town (19) Residents with Changing Personalities

A crowd holding torches and chanting "Kill the devil" walked past them.

No one knew what kind of tricks the devil used, but these people ignored the two of them. When they walked by, they didn't pay any attention to them, but just stared fanatically ahead.

Yan Jinyue saw clearly that they were all residents of the small town, and there were a few familiar faces to her, such as their neighbors Charles and his family, and Mrs. Louise and Mrs. Lulang, who loved her the most.

But these usually kind and amiable people had a drastic change of temperament at this moment, and the viciousness and madness in their eyes seemed to be able to condense into a entity.

What on earth were they doing? A huge doubt buried in her heart.

When she could only see their backs, the demon patted her on the back and smiled, "Come on, follow them."

Yan Jinyue said nothing as he held her waist and she walked forward obediently. Her sixth sense told her that this was definitely not a good thing.

She was very scared and anxious for no reason. The devil beside her became her only support at this moment. His strong and irresistible embrace actually gave her the most powerful comfort.

Yan Jinyue felt very complicated. Her mind told her that she should not rely on the devil, but her heart was not controlled by her mind.

After struggling for a while, she gave up struggling completely, took the initiative to grab the corner of his clothes, and confessed softly: "I'm a little scared, I feel uneasy."

The devil was greatly pleased by the girl's trust and dependence. He held her tighter and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here. They can't hurt you."

they?

Yan Jinyue keenly caught the word "demon" and she was thinking about who they were.

The residents of the town? But these residents would never hurt her.

Who could that be?

The doubts were soon answered. They followed the crowd to the door of the church. The building, which used to be holy and solemn, was now bright but eerie under the firelight. There was a half-person-high execution platform at the door, and on the execution platform was a huge cross.

The archbishop, who had clearly left long ago, was now standing on the execution platform, wearing a red monk's robe. The flames flickered on his body, and it seemed as if flames were flowing on the hem of his robe.

His kindness and gentleness were gone, and there was only indifference and coldness on his face.

"..." The archbishop first recited a series of hymns praising God, and finally got to the point: "In order to praise the grace of our Lord, I hereby offer the flesh, blood and soul of the devil. Because the devil is the filthiest existence in the world, it must be cleansed by burning for seven days. Today is the third day."

"Bring the devil up." The archbishop said coldly.

Then, the clergymen in white carried a man to the execution platform.

Yan Jinyue's pupils shrank when she saw the person tied to the rack.

The man had silver hair as bright as the moon, and a face as clear and elegant as jade. Even though he looked disheveled and covered with wounds, he could not hide his cold and noble demeanor.

He was hung on the rack, his face was as pale as the cold frost on an autumn night, but the criss-crossing bloodstains were scarlet and terrifying, which was shocking.

"Colwin..." Yan Jinyue subconsciously wanted to rush out, but was held down by the devil.

Devil: "Don't worry."

"But, Korwin..." Tears flashed in the girl's eyes.

Although the devil was jealous, he did not add insult to injury: "Don't worry, he won't die. He is a devil, humans can't kill him."

"He is a devil?" Yan Jinyue was confused by his words, "Aren't you the devil?"

"My dear Jinyue, can't you see our relationship now?" The devil curved his red lips, holding her face with both hands, his blood-red eyes like gems were meaningful.

Yan Jinyue blinked: "You guys..."

They are all demons, they look the same but have different temperaments. That can only be one possibility.

"Are you twins?"

"Ah?" This time it was the devil's turn to be confused. He pulled the corner of his lip and said, "How bold can you guess?"

"It can't be father and son, right?" Yan Jinyue showed a look of horror. The devil almost laughed out of anger, rubbing the girl's cheek vigorously, gritting his teeth: "Then tell me, who is the father and who is the son?"

Yan Jinyue was also hot-headed and said something that she had always thought was the most absurd guess: "Are you really the same person? But why——"

"Will they separate?" the devil continued.

"Yes." Yan Jinyue nodded vigorously.

The demon looked at his other self who was being held on the rack by humans and smiled coldly: "That's the reason."

Yan Jinyue followed his gaze and saw Colwin was also smiling, with a sarcastic smile.

His cold and powerful voice came through the burning flames and the clamor of the crowd, resoundingly:
"I am a pastor, a messenger of God, not a devil. I have been with you for so long, you should all know what kind of person I am. I am not a devil."

The crowd, that is, the residents of the town, began to talk, but suddenly someone shouted: "Who knows if you are pretending, you are only nice to us to hide your identity as a devil!"

The person who was speaking was a middle-aged man with brown hair, brown eyes and a rough and unruly appearance. His face was unshaved, making it look prickly and untidy.

Yan Jinyue recognized the man as the owner of a leather boots store in the east of the city. At this moment, he attacked Colwin with a ferocious look on his face. What was funny was that a few days ago, Yan Jinyue had accompanied Colwin to treat his mother's illness, and he was so grateful that he cried.

What a heartless person!

Yan Jinyue wanted to go up and slap him twice, but the devil held her back and she could only bite her lips on the spot.

Others, many of whom had been helped by Colwin, joined the boot shop owner in denouncing Colwin's "crimes."

But what was his "crime"?
All they could say was that he was a "devil," but being a "devil" was the greatest "crime."

Yan Jinyue found it extremely ridiculous. Seeing that they were about to light the fire and burn Colwin, she rushed out without caring about anything else.

Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, she rushed to the execution platform. She didn't know where she found the strength from, but she pushed away two clergymen in white robes holding torches and stood in front of the rack with a resolute attitude.

"No one can hurt Colwin!" The little girl opened her arms and glared at everyone fiercely.

Everyone shouted in dismay: "What are you doing, Audrey? He is a monster!"

"Audrey, come down quickly and don't interfere with the devil's torture!"

"..."

"Shut up!" Yan Jinyue raised her voice. "Kerwin didn't hurt anyone, so he shouldn't be punished. It's you who should be punished, you accomplices, you ruthless villains!"

Silence, after a long silence, someone exclaimed: "Audrey, you are crazy!"

Yan Jinyue sneered: "You are the ones who are crazy."

Colwin looked up at the figure standing in front of him. He was thin and fragile, but his small body seemed to contain great power.

He spoke weakly: "Jinyue, go quickly, don't let them hurt you."

Yan Jinyue turned her head and looked at him, and said firmly: "I won't leave. I can't watch them burn you with fire."

"I'm fine." Kerwin managed a little laugh. "I'll be fine."

"Anyway, I just won't leave."

Yan Jinyue was determined, but the clergy in white stepped forward coldly and tried to drag her away, but was stopped by the archbishop: "No need."

The cardinal came over with a kind smile, but it made people feel cold all over.

Yan Jinyue looked at him warily, "What are you going to do?"

The Archbishop smiled, turned to face the crowd and said loudly:

"Miss Audrey Felix, bewitched by the devil, her body and mind are tainted by the devil."

"She needs to go through the fire with the demon, or she will become—"
