Chapter 352 Lan Qi kills people and kills people
The door of the governor's office extends on both sides. It is carefully carved from old maple wood felled three hundred years ago. The door frame is inlaid with delicate silver patterns, which is noble and full of history.
The office was unusually quiet, and even Agnello's previous hoarse roar stopped abruptly and no longer echoed on the third floor of the spacious Governor's Palace.
“Loren…!”
Agniello's body, whose whole body was bound by the Forbidden Demonic Ice Spikes, began to feel stabbing pains due to being moved, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the mental panic.
Seeing Loren in person again, Agniello's breathing became rapid, and every time he took in a breath, there was a slight choking sound, as if the air was condensing in his throat.
The noise around him gradually blurred, and Agnello's eardrums fell into a silent blank, only echoing his own heartbeat - it was a rapid, chaotic rhythm. His hands and feet could no longer move. Between him and Loren The distance is an abyss that can never be crossed.
The panic in his eyes, the fear that penetrated deep into his bones, tightly bound him like invisible chains.
The two figures on the sofa, Lanqi and Sigrid, were sitting quietly, looking even more calm and relaxed.
Lanci sat on the left side of the sofa, as dignified as a chess player, caressing the dark kitten in his hand.
On the other side, Sigrid was leaning on the back of the sofa, holding her chin with one hand and resting her palm on the armrest. Every knuckle showed strength, as if with just a wave of her hand, the entire empire would tremble. He glanced at Agniello lying on the ground, it was a look from above.
The two people have completely different temperaments and sitting postures. One is as gentle and elegant as a poet, while the other is as majestic and domineering as a queen. However, they can get along surprisingly well with each other.
Looking at this atmosphere, Agnello's eyes revealed rage, despair and disbelief.
He originally thought that after he left, the high priest Loren would first control the weak Overlord Catholic Church.
Unexpectedly, this woman actually trusted each other with the high priest.
Could it be that the Overlord Catholic Church had already betrayed the Protos Empire and reached an ulterior cooperation with the high priest Loren...?
Agnello has gradually been unable to understand the scene in front of him, and all kinds of emotions in his heart are surging like a tidal wave.
He couldn't bear the feeling of losing everything and falling into the abyss.
Agnello's breathing was rapid and his vision was skewed. He just wanted to find a breakthrough, but every ounce of reason he had left wanted to tell him that there was nowhere to escape.
He suddenly shouted: "Loren! You are a sanctimonious, despicable hypocrite! Didn't you agree to let me go?!"
Agnello's voice was as shrill as a night owl, mixed with all his resentment and unwillingness.
Lanci still kept the slightly upward corners of his mouth, and his smile, in this situation, actually made Agnello even more creepy.
“I really won't kill you. Are you not living well now?”
He spoke with a hint of naturalness, as if everything was natural.
The brief response pierced Agnello's heart deeper, and his body shook violently again.
He didn't understand why it was rumored that Loren, the high priest who had always been noble, could be so cold, hypocritical, and liked to play with others, even worse than the Cardinal of the Church of Resurrection who had a bad taste.
Agnello took a deep breath, which was his last strength.
He looked at Viscount Kingston, with a hint of broken bitterness and struggle in his voice: "You guys were deceived by him! He is Loren, the great priest of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny in the Southern Continent, and he is the enemy of the empire! You all If you do this, you will become a sinner of the empire! You...you have no idea what disaster you have caused!!"
But.
No one between Viscount Kingston and the Guards soldiers stood up, and no one expressed agreement with Agnello's words. Or they didn't care at all, but they were still terrifyingly indifferent, staring at Agnello without any trace of emotion in their eyes. Moved.
They may even become more convinced of something.
That kind of look is like looking at a crazy, stupid person who has completely lost his mind.
Viscount Kingston shook his head and chuckled. He walked gently to Lan Qi's sofa, lowered his head and said respectfully: "My Lord Governor, you are really good at predicting things. You have hit the mark on every one of them."
At this moment, Agnello completely collapsed.
That kind of despair surrounded his whole body like ice, even worse than his frozen body.
The few hopes in his eyes were shattered, and he felt like he was about to lose everything.
“He is a big liar! You have all been deceived by this liar!!”
Agnello shouted, crying and laughing, as if he had finally been driven crazy by the absurdity of it all.
The heartbroken man screamed unwillingly, and every word was like his last voice of despair.
Everyone else in the room turned a blind eye and listened without hearing. No one showed the slightest sympathy or understanding, and no one came to his defense.
They just looked at Agnello quietly. His madness and delusion were so real in front of them, but they were just looking at a desert scenery, so distant and indifferent.
Finally, Lan Qi sighed.
He looked down at Agnello, his compassionate eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and saw Agnello's soul naked.
But he was not as aloof as Agnello had seen him in the snowy field before.
There is no cat-and-mouse banter at all.
There is only pity and regret, like a kind-hearted old principal looking at a student who is about to be expelled.
Agnello held his trembling hands on the ground, trying to stabilize his body and emotions.
His eyes were filled with extreme confusion and fear, and he stared at Lan Qi intently, trying to find a real answer or a possible glimmer of hope from those unfathomable eyes. No matter what, it was the great priest Loren who caught him. As a believer of the goddess of destiny, he should be a very kind person, right?
He said that he would use love to influence himself, and he promised not to kill himself!
"Loren, let me go. You shouldn't attack me in your position."
Agnello's voice gradually increased, and the tears in his eyes fell down, flowing on his pale and firm face, with a sense of remorse as if he was looking forward to death, and as if he was praying for Loren's compassion.
At this moment, he was like a misunderstood child who did not understand why everything around him had become so strange and indifferent.
“Son, do not believe in him…”
Sigrid seemed to be full of anger and wanted to say something, but Lan Qi raised her hand to stop her, meaning please trust him and leave it to him.
Lanci is still looking at the Son of Annihilation, and the Virgin-like forgiveness has not receded.
“Do you think the purpose of rules and laws is more important: prevention or retribution?”
He asked.
"It's prevention! It's prevention. I promise that I will never be an enemy of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny again! I swear to the Goddess of Destiny!"
Agnello replied to Lanci as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.
However, Lan Qi just smiled, with a hint of regret and distress in his smile, and shook his head.
“It's retribution. Deterrence and reform of criminals are secondary, but if you do bad things, you will be punished, and if you don't do bad things, you should not be punished. This is the foundation of punishment and justice, and retribution is also its most important role.”
Lanchi looked unusually serious and told Agnello the correct answer.
Hearing Lanci's words and looking at his attitude, Agnello's slightly parted lips trembled, and his empty pupils seemed to foresee his future.
His body became even colder, everything around him became blurry, and even his own sense of existence became so void.
“Let me go, otherwise Lord Askosan will not let go of those innocent priests of the Goddess of Destiny Church…”
Agnello repeated this sentence over and over again, crying as if it was his only support, but every time, his voice seemed weaker and more powerless.
“Why? I'm not from the Church of the Goddess of Destiny.”
Lan Qi was stunned for a moment and asked slightly doubtfully.
Suddenly, Agnello was also stunned.
He didn't know what Loren meant.
Is Loren still planning to act stupid and go rogue?
“I'm Rocky McCarthy.”
Lan Qi raised his hand and said very clearly.
"No!! You are Loren, if you kill me, Asksan will know sooner or later that it was you who did it!"
Agnello seemed to be afraid of a fact, and screamed that he could no longer distinguish between true and false in this city. Ever since he stepped into this office, the world seemed to be a real nightmare.
But the only thing he must be sure of, and the only hope he has left, is the answer that the other party is the great priest Loren!
"well-"
Lan Qi sighed helplessly,
“Why don't you believe it? Everything I say to you is the truth.”
Lanqi took out the [Fake Slate-Wind] and at the same time took out his imperial identity document to show Agnello.
The certificate clearly says - Rocky McCarthy.
“Look, the snowfield was joking with you earlier.”
Lan Qi smiled sheepishly. No one knew whether he was really feeling guilty or couldn't hold back his smile.
Hide on the side finally leaned on the sofa and hugged her belly and laughed. Seeing Agnello's silly appearance, she couldn't bear the laughter and kept patting Lan Qi beside her.
At this moment, Agnello opened his eyes wide. Everything, the mystery was finally solved in his mind.
“Ah…ah…”
After being completely imprisoned, he realized that at that time, he had the means to kill the Overlord Catholic Church and the Overlord Holy Son.
However, I was deceived out of fear.
Step by step, we were deceived from the gate of heaven to this inescapable abyss.
His eyes slowly turned blood red, like two pearls soaked in blood, about to shatter. It was a furious flame that had been extinguished burning inside, about to jump out of the eye sockets and destroy everything. .
Every cell, every inch of skin, was trembling. The corners of Agnello's mouth twitched, his teeth creaked, and drops of dark red liquid fell from the corners of his eyes. It was not tears, but blood, but his extreme resentment. Proof of almost tearing himself apart.
The Son of Annihilation's heart-piercing shrill voice is also a signal that represents the death of all his thoughts.
