Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: The Cold Light of Despair

In the next second of terror, Jiang Yuan quickly reached out towards the head of the bed.

The straight knife was placed there.

Now he didn't care about the consequences of killing the other person. Right now, he just wanted to kill him!

"If you dare to take the knife, I guarantee your head will explode like a watermelon crushed by a car in the next second!"

The words and the dark muzzle of the gun froze Jiang Yuan's movements instantly.

"W-what do you want?!"

Jiang Yuan's Adam's apple rolled, and he gritted his teeth and asked: "You're a security guard! This is breaking into a private residence!"

"You're pointing a gun at me. I want to know what law I've violated?!"

The young security guard sneered and said coldly: "Stop pretending, you're a heretic!"

"If I kill you, I won't be punished at all. Instead, I'll be rewarded and receive the blessing of the Righteous Courage Saint God!"

"Stop ing, admit your guilt, heretic!"

As he spoke, the young security guard's tone gradually became, and his finger rested on the trigger, as if he might pull it at any moment.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan was grateful that he had a healthy heart.

Not to mention the fear and anxiety of these past few days.

Especially the face he had just seen in his daze, and now being held at gunpoint by a madman, anyone with a slightly weak heart would likely be scared to death.

Jiang Yuan was afraid, afraid that this madman would suddenly go crazy and pull the trigger.

But fear was useless.

He could only bite his tongue hard, forcing himself to calm down a bit. With this slight calmness, he quickly heard the subtext in the young security guard's words and saw the other person's concerns.

If he was truly 100% sure that he was a heretic, Jiang Yuan was afraid he wouldn't even have the chance to open his eyes.

Now the other person wouldn't point a gun at his forehead and force him to admit he was a heretic.

Clearly.

The other person was also unable to be certain that he was definitely a heretic.

This included his sister and Aunt Wang as well.

None of them could be 100% certain.

For example, if his sister was truly 100% sure that he was a heretic, then under the control of the demon god, she would definitely not give him another chance, nor would she calmly get along with him for a few days. Instead, like his parents, she would try to kill him on the spot.

His parents' state was the 'normal state' after being 100% sure that he was a heretic.

Understanding this, Jiang Yuan felt slightly relieved and angrily said: "What are you talking about!"

"How could I be a heretic!"

"Our family has been believers of the Merciful Saint God for generations. My grandfather and father were even fanatical believers of the Merciful Saint God!"

"And my goal is to become a fanatical believer of the Merciful Saint God too!"

"How can you suspect me of being a heretic? You're slandering me. I will definitely report you, definitely!"

Jiang Yuan was shouting angrily, full of rage. His angry and wronged expression from being slandered really looked convincing.

But the young security guard looked at him expressionlessly, completely unmoved.

After Jiang Yuan finished shouting, he sneered again, pressed the gun harder against Jiang Yuan, and said coldly: "Pretend, keep pretending."

"From our investigation results, your mother has been a faithful believer of Mercy from beginning to end, never betraying. Naturally, she wouldn't encourage you."

"Secondly, your mother was just an ordinary believer, while your father was a fanatical believer. She couldn't possibly defeat your father."

"The autopsy results showed no signs of mutual struggle on their bodies."

"So... it's even more impossible for them to both fall from the ninth floor due to fighting."

"All your statements are false, all made up!"

"Therefore, we conclude that the 'heretic' they mentioned is 99% you!"

"Tell me! Why did you make up this lie!"

Bitterness welled up in Jiang Yuan's heart.

As expected... there were too many loopholes.

But that was already the best explanation he could think of.

"I didn't make it up, this is the truth, this is how it is!"

Jiang Yuan said stubbornly: "No matter how you slander me, I'm telling the truth. I'm not a heretic. I even just performed the worship ceremony last night!"

"If you don't believe me, you can call my sister. The worship ceremony can't be faked!"

The young security guard stared at Jiang Yuan's face, and Jiang Yuan looked back at him calmly.

Soon, a trace of struggle appeared in the young security guard's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by madness and desire.

"Hmph, still trying to lie to me, you heretic, still trying to lie to me!"

"Don't try to lie to me, I'm going to sacrifice you, sacrifice you!"

"Then I can become a fanatical believer of the great Righteous Courage Saint God. If you don't admit it, you're the biggest obstacle to me becoming a fanatical believer!"

"Won't admit it? It doesn't matter, I'll make you admit it, I'll make you admit it!"

Bloodshot veins gradually appeared in the whites of the young security guard's eyes, and he seemed to be losing his reason more and more. Jiang Yuan also became more and more flustered.

Fortunately... the worst outcome didn't happen. The other person at least retained his last bit of reason and didn't directly shoot him.

He didn't shoot, but he reached out and took the straight knife that Jiang Yuan had placed at the head of the bed. With a 'clang', he directly drew the silver-white straight knife.

Moonlight poured in from outside the window, and the blade glinted coldly.

Jiang Yuan's face changed drastically, his voice trembling as he shouted: "What do you want to do!"

"I've already said I'm not a heretic, not a heretic, not a heretic!"

"I've already gone through the worship ceremony!"

"If you kill me, you'll have to pay for my life too!"

The young security guard laughed madly, running his left index and middle fingers across the blade, quickly cutting his skin and causing blood to flow.

He didn't care at all and said coldly: "Not bad, very sharp."

Then he looked up, his bloodshot eyes filled with malice as he sneered: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Kill you? No, I won't kill you."

"At least not until you admit you're a heretic... no!"

"Even if you admit you're a heretic, I still won't kill you. Sacrificing you alive will give me more blessings from the Righteous Courage Saint God!"

"Still not admitting it? It doesn't matter, I'll make you admit it."

"No one can withstand my interrogation!"

"I'll cut the flesh from your body piece by piece, peel your skin off little by little!"

"I don't want to do this either, but... who told you not to help me?"

Listening to the other person's words, Jiang Yuan's heart turned cold.

Did he believe he was a heretic?

He didn't dare to kill him, but directly used interrogation methods to make him admit it.

How can I save myself?

Jiang Yuan was at a loss.

This seemed to be... a dead end.

"So... where should we start? Hmm... you're quite handsome, so... let's start with your face!"

Following the young security guard's words, Jiang Yuan couldn't take it anymore. Without thinking, he kicked towards the other person. If he didn't escape now, he wouldn't be able to escape!

But Jiang Yuan still underestimated the strength of believers in this world.

Even though most believers in this world were ordinary people and didn't master supernatural powers.

But after years of worship, they were more or less enhanced in various aspects.

At least their physical fitness, strength, and speed were much stronger than people from Earth.

Although all of this was exchanged by selling their souls.

This kick was easily caught by the other person. He didn't even sway much. With a sneer, he raised the straight knife in his hand and stabbed straight towards Jiang Yuan's thigh.

"Still trying to resist? Then I'll cut off your leg first!"

Under the moonlight, the cold light was dazzling.

Jiang Yuan's eyes were filled with despair.

It seems... I'm going to die here today.

Just as the knife was about to stab into Jiang Yuan's thigh, suddenly, a figure rushed in from the open window at lightning speed!

Jiang Yuan couldn't even clearly see the other person's movements. He only saw a crescent-shaped cold light flash by. The young security guard's body trembled violently, and the excited smile on his face even froze.

But his whole person froze in place, motionless.

The next second.

His neck suddenly tilted to the side, and a line of blood appeared at his neck.

Then... his head rolled to the ground.

Blood spurted out in all directions.

Like a red fountain.
