Chapter 103 102 Buried Memories

Chapter 103 -102- Buried Memories

A huge amount of memories flooded into Charlotte's mind, and her vision suddenly shattered.

No, it was not her vision that was shattered.

She closed her eyes in reality.

What was shattered was actually her perception.

After a flash of light, Charlotte came to a magnificent world.

To be more precise, it was a dream world.

She found herself standing in a long floating corridor, surrounded by darkness, with countless broken lenses floating on both sides.

Each fragment exuded a faint halo, like a slide, playing one independent picture after another.

Some were bright, emitting soft light, quiet and peaceful.

Some were bloody and cold, and just looking at them made people feel strongly uncomfortable.

Charlotte chose the one closest to her.

The next moment, her vision changed, and she saw a cute little girl, giggling, sitting in a shabby house and celebrating her birthday with her parents who were dressed simply.

On the simple wooden table, the food was not rich, just some simple black bread and a small piece of dry cheesecake that had been there for who knows how long.

However, looking at the girl's innocent and bright smile, and the doting and gentle eyes of her father and mother, one can truly feel the small and easily satisfied happiness of the family of three.

But the next moment, the picture was engulfed by the flames.

Amid the shrill cries, the girl's parents fell in a pool of blood, and the black-robed blood demon cultists grabbed the girl's hair and stuffed her into a cloth bag roughly...

The picture continued to flicker, and Charlotte saw the girl being imprisoned, the girl being auctioned in the Drunken Dream Salon, and the confusion and fear on the girl's face...

She saw the girl being violated, the blood demon cultists chasing the girl after the Drunken Dream Salon, and the girl slowly dying in pain and fear.

Charlotte quickly withdrew from the memory fragments, and the despair and pain of being there made her heart cold.

After a slight perception, she judged that it only took her a moment to browse the memory.

Although she saw many scenes, the huge amount of memory information actually poured into her consciousness in an instant.

After hesitating for a moment, Charlotte looked at the next memory fragment...

The field of vision changed, and another new girl appeared in the picture.

This is the memory of another girl.

It is still happy and beautiful.

However, the plain happiness was soon swallowed up by blood and despair again.

Charlotte saw the appearance of the blood demon cultists again, saw them kidnap the girl, saw them use the girl as a sacrifice and push her into the abyss of death in the desperate cry...

Charlotte quickly exited the memory fragment again.

Her mood became heavier.

Looking at the countless fragments around, she knew that each of these fragments represented the girl who died.

The memories here are the deepest memories of their short lives.

Happy memories, fearful memories...

Painful memories, desperate memories...

Even if they died, their memories were retained as residual souls.

Charlotte didn't dare to watch it anymore.

The feeling of despair in her own life made her heart cold and her soul tremble.

But she knew that she had to keep watching.

The secret of the Blood Demon Cult might be hidden in these memory fragments.

She continued to look at the next fragment...

One, one after another...

Charlotte didn't know how many memory fragments she had seen.

She only knew that she saw one happy family after another broken, and one innocent girl after another swallowed by despair...

She saw the evil and cruelty of the Blood Demon Cult, and she saw the corruption and darkness of the nobles.

She looked and looked, and she felt that she was almost numb.

In her heart, there was only disgust and anger towards the Blood Demon Cult and the corrupt nobles.

After reading countless memories, Charlotte suddenly paused and stopped in front of one of the memory fragments.

In this memory fragment, she actually saw an acquaintance.

The chief captain of the Boulder Demon Hunting Institute, Kara!

However, this is not Kara's memory fragment.

This is a little girl's.

The little girl is 70% similar to Kara, and Kara in the memory fragment has no scars on her face.

Not only that, Kara in the memory fragment is quite young.

She looks at most 18 or 19 years old.

That was a beautiful memory of a pair of sisters.

As mercenaries, the older sister brought the younger, lovely sister.

They depended on each other and lived happily. Although not rich, they were warm and happy.

The beginning of the memory was still plain and beautiful.

But when the gangster appeared, everything changed.

She saw the girl being kidnapped and Kara seriously injured.

She saw the hideous scars on the face of the female knight, who awakened extraordinary power in despair, but could only watch her sister being taken away.

Hmm?

Gangster?

Wait...

Not a blood demon cultist?

Charlotte was stunned.

And the development of the next memory image was even more different.

Charlotte did not see the Drunken Dream Salon.

Instead, there was fire.

Raging fire.

She heard countless hazy voices praying and chanting.

She heard someone praising the abyss and darkness, and heard someone singing the praises of depravity and decay.

She heard fanatical voices shouting the title of the Blood Demon Archduke!

She saw the girl in the cell and more girls hugging each other, fearfully looking through the window at the tall figure burning with flames in the night outside...

The ferocious goat head, the blazing flames, the deafening roar!

That is a terrifying Balrog!

Charlotte understood instantly.

This memory fragment is even older, from ten years ago!

What she sees now is the scene of the Fire Demon disaster ten years ago!

This little girl who is suspected to be Carla's sister was not snatched away by Zuimeng Salon in the past few years, but was kidnapped by Count Broglie ten years ago!

After realizing this, doubts quickly came to Charlotte's mind...

etc.

If she remembered correctly, the Balrog ritual originated from Count Broglie ten years ago.

According to records, all the underage girls abducted during the Fire Demon Disaster eventually died in sacrifices.

As for the Drunken Dream Salon, it gradually appeared after the Fire Demon Disaster.

But here is the bottom of Drunken Dream Salon...

If Kara's sister had been kidnapped ten years ago, how could her memory fragments appear here, in the ritual sacrifice place of Drunken Dream Salon?

wrong.

In her memory, the girl saw the Balrog.

This shows that she was not dead at that time.

Not only that, the girls held in that cell were not dead.

So...what happened next?

Charlotte was filled with doubts.

But soon, her doubts were answered.

With an angry roar, the Balrog disappeared in a bright light.

After an unknown amount of time, the dark cell was smashed open with a roar.

The dazzling light comes, penetrating the darkness of despair and bringing reassuring warmth.

A figure wearing a holy white robe appeared in the girl's field of vision.

That was an old priest.

His expression was full of exhaustion.

After seeing the girls in the cell, he was slightly startled.

Then soon, he showed a kind smile.

I saw him reaching out his hand and gently touching the little head of the girl closest to him.

The old and gentle voice slowly sounded in the girl's ears:

"Children, you are saved."

His smile was extremely kind and gentle.

It's so soft, even a little false, that it makes people shudder.

That priest was none other than someone else.

It was the highest cleric in the Principality of Bold, High Priest Linus.

I am too sleepy. I have been thinking a lot about how to proceed with the plot. This chapter is written much slower than I thought... There will be no third update tonight. I will continue to add more tomorrow! _(:з　∠)_
