Chapter 1489: Deception
Mrs. Connie felt herself floating in the darkness, and various images kept flashing in her mind, all of which were warm scenes when she was with her son Raven.
But suddenly, these warm scenes broke into countless pieces, and only one picture remained.
The usually gentle Knight Raven showed a hideous and evil face, raised his sword high, and slashed at her fiercely-
Mrs. Connie opened her eyes suddenly.
Her forehead was full of sweat, and she kept panting. It was not easy for her to calm down from the scene just now.
"Is it a dream?" Mrs. Connie whispered softly, but at this moment, a familiar voice came to her ear: "Mrs. Connie, are you okay now?"
Mrs. Connie turned her head and saw Alex, who was wearing a white robe, appeared beside her at some point.
"Alex, why are you..." Mrs. Connie was about to ask, why are you in my house, but as she tried to support the bed and sit up, she suddenly discovered something horrifying, she seemed to be unable to feel her left hand.
She suddenly seemed to remember something, raised her left arm, and looked at the empty left hand. Countless memories flashed through her mind, the forest in the dark night, and the two people chasing her!
"My left hand, Raven... Camelot..." Mrs. Connie muttered absentmindedly.
Alex: "Mrs. Connie, can you tell me what happened? Your left hand... why is it gone?"
Mrs. Connie turned back hesitantly: "Can you help me sit up?"
Alex helped Mrs. Connie sit on the bed, and Mrs. Connie had the opportunity to look around. She found that she was not at home, but in a narrow wooden house.
The air was filled with the smell of stale wood.
"Where is this?" Mrs. Connie said in a trance. She remembered that she seemed to have escaped to a cave yesterday, and she had no memory of it afterwards.
"This should be a ranger's cabin, but when I came, it had been abandoned for a long time. Because you bled too much and your condition was very critical, I couldn't take you back to town immediately, so I could only treat you here temporarily."
"How did you find me?" Mrs. Connie looked at Alex with hesitation. After everything that happened last night, she now felt that the whole world was full of weirdness. Even though Alex in front of her smiled elegantly and gently, she couldn't let down her guard.
Alex said with compassion: "Last night, I remembered some things I had talked about with Knight Raven. I was sad and wanted to talk to Mrs. Connie, but I found that Mrs. Connie was not there."
"I waited for a long time, but Mrs. Connie didn't come back. I remembered some of Knight Raven's last wishes that I told you during the day. I wondered if you would run to the Holy City overnight. I thought the night road was very dangerous, so I chased you. Later, I searched the mountain and found Mrs. Connie lying in a cave."
Alex's lie was extremely clumsy. But his tone was very sincere, with an elegant chanting tone, as if someone was reciting the divine scriptures with compassion, which made people's thoughts unconsciously guided.
In addition, Mrs. Connie had experienced a huge change and was very uneasy, so she didn't think about whether Alex was lying for a while. As long as Alex could come up with a reason, she would believe it.
"Is that so... When you found me, did you see..." Mrs. Connie swallowed her saliva and her expression suddenly became horrified.
"What did you see?"
"... My son, Knight Raven, and Miss Camelot." When Mrs. Connie said these two names, she was not only horrified, but her voice was also slightly trembling.
"Isn't Knight Raven dead? Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to expose your scars, I just have some doubts. And Miss Camelot was buried last year... Mrs. Connie, are you seeing hallucinations?" Alex looked at Mrs. Connie with confusion.
Mrs. Connie lowered her head and trembled: "I also hope that it was an illusion, but my left hand is gone. This means that those are not illusions, but real! They are not dead, they even want to kill me! Even my Raven has forgotten me and wants to kill me... woo woo woo."
"Mrs. Connie, please don't get excited. You can't get excited in your current physical condition. If the stitches just sutured break free again, it will be bad." Alex made a "compromise" look: "Okay, I believe you."
Mrs. Connie looked at Alex with tears on her face, and said: "Do you really believe me?"
Alex sighed helplessly, like comforting a child: "Of course I believe you, but when it comes to the resurrection of the dead, I still feel a little creepy. Can you tell me what happened to you last night? Your hand looks like it was cut by a sharp blade. Who did it?"
Mrs. Connie no longer cared whether Alex was perfunctory to her. She also wanted to tell the nightmare of yesterday to relieve the psychological pressure.
"It all started yesterday afternoon..." Mrs. Connie talked incessantly, telling her story from leaving Gust Town to heading to the Holy City.
Alex knew everything about the first half, but he still controlled his facial expressions, showing surprise and sadness at the right time.
It was not until Mrs. Connie talked about the most critical moment, when she had to climb over the mountain to the other side, that she would touch the barrier, that Alex pricked up his ears.
"I clearly saw the road ahead, and even saw the shadowy trees, but suddenly -" Mrs. Connie looked weird: "I hit a wall! Where the air should be, a wall appeared. There is no road ahead!"
"I thought I was confused at the time and wanted to go around to the other side to have a look, but it turned out there was no road on the other side either!"
"Just when I was wondering, a human figure suddenly protruded from where the wall was. A man came out of the wall... When I saw his appearance clearly, I realized that it was actually my son, Raven!"
"I was very excited to see Raven appear alive in front of me, but the next second I discovered that Raven had pulled out the knight sword from his waist and slashed it at me. I subconsciously used the first gear , As a result, my left hand..." Mrs. Connie swallowed, with fear on her face.
Mrs. Connie continued to talk about how she ran away and finally escaped...but Alex already knew everything about what happened next, and he even knew it better than Mrs. Connie.
After Mrs. Connie finished speaking, she looked at Alex eagerly: "Do you still believe me now?"
Alex nodded: "I believe you."
Mrs. Connie finally smiled, but she smiled and cried again: "That's great, there are still people who believe in me, I am not crazy, those people really showed up."
Alex stepped forward gently and hugged Mrs. Connie: "I believe you. Relax, the nightmare will end and everything will be fine."
Mrs. Connie breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on Alex's shoulder, and whispered: "Thank you."
Angel, who was hiding aside, looked at this tender scene and wondered in his heart: What would Mrs. Connie's reaction be if she found out that the origin of everything was caused by Alex?
However, it is difficult for Mrs. Connie to find out. After all, Alex only instigated her inadvertently with words, and everything was made by Mrs. Connie "by herself".
After a while, Mrs. Connie's mood calmed down a little, and Alex let go of her and said: "Although I believe you, I still don't know why the dead come back to life..."
After attracting Mrs. Connie's attention, Alex continued: "If the Knights of Raven and Camelot are resurrected, will all those who died in the past be resurrected?"
Mrs. Connie was in a daze: "I don't know, maybe it really will be?"
"If the city is resurrected, then there must be some secret in it, and this secret may be an undercurrent hidden under Gust Town." When Alex said this, he seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly a look on his face The severity of:
"Oops! It seems that we can't bring Mrs. Connie back to the town for the time being. You discovered the secret of 'resurrection'! If someone deliberately concealed this secret and lasted for so many years, there is absolutely no way you would be alive to tell it! Someone will definitely come after you.”
"That abominable mastermind! What exactly does he want to do? Resurrect the dead and control them to kill people. According to the teachings of God the Father, this is the behavior of the devil and an unforgivable sin!"
"These people will definitely be punished by God the Father!"
Alex acted to himself for a while, and then looked at Mrs. Connie, who had not yet come to her senses: "Let's do this, Mrs. Connie, you stay here for the next while, and I will go back to town to investigate secretly. Explore this matter. As the preacher of God the Father, I must find a way to expel this undercurrent from Gust Town!"
Alex's impassioned words made Mrs. Connie feel a little uneasy: Was she really in an unsafe situation?
But she did discover the secret of resurrection as Alex said. Many times, the more you know, the more dangerous you are. Mrs. Connie still understands this truth.
"Alex is very reliable. Maybe what he said is right. I can't just show up now, otherwise... the consequences will be unpredictable!" Mrs. Connie thought to herself.
Angel was amazed to hear that Alex had fooled Mrs. Connie with just a few words. He also secretly replaced the secret of the cage with the secret of resurrection, which made Mrs. Connie even more convinced. .
This guy is really a born priest. At least he is already very good at deceiving people.
"But, wouldn't it be safe for me to stay here alone?" Mrs. Connie was a little afraid of staying here alone.
"I can stay with you here, but in this case, I won't be able to find out the truth." Alex paused: "Besides, after listening to what you said before, I just feel horrified that Mrs. Lian's biological son has come back to life. You have been brainwashed in the end, and I don’t even know who to trust, so I don’t dare to let others secretly come to take care of you.”
"In addition, you are injured now and cannot move at will." Alex looked distressed: "I can only wrong Madam. Don't worry, I will come here every day to bring food and the latest information to Madam... …”
After hearing what Alex said, Mrs. Connie understood that this was all. She nodded: "Okay, I will wait for you."
"If...if I don't come one day, it means that I may have been..."
Mrs. Connie said quickly: "No, you must be careful! My matter can be put on hold for now, but you must pay attention to your life safety."
Alex nodded solemnly and tragically.
