The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Xie Yuan was very unhappy with Udarek.

It was just a self-mutilation caused by the psychological stress of fear of retribution due to parricide. It turned into sacrificing his own flesh and blood in order to "please" the gods, and he became a hero in the hearts of the islanders.

Listening to the "Voice of the Gods" was so serious. If he hadn't seen the invisible shadow of the monster in the haunted house, Xie Yuan would have directly attributed it to hypocrisy.

Because there are no traces of resentful souls here at all!

Of course, contempt is contempt, Xie Yuan is a professionally trained person, and he will show the qualified qualities of a service industry person at any time - he will not comment on any situation of the parties involved.

So in order to coax the little girl, let her leave as soon as possible, and at the same time, it also appeases Udarek's mind. Xie Yuan volunteered to deliver the sword to the body of Udarek's brother Aki buried at the bottom of the sea.

The area where Aki fell into the water is a water area with whirlpools. The wind has been clear recently, which is a good time to go into the water. If there is a storm... it will be the end of death.

After packing his armor and putting it aside, Xie Yuan put on his underpants, tied a sheathed diving knife to his thigh, and carried it to the water's edge.

He walked to a place that was gradually out of reach of his feet, took a deep breath, and then plunged into the water like a fish.

Due to the algae and corals, the bottom of the water looks colorful and gorgeous under the diffuse reflection of the sunlight on the surface of the water... But please note that there may be some creatures with their own toxins here.

Xie Yuan did not pay special attention to this... Anyone who has accepted the frogman tactics in the military, except for things that threaten you, it is best not to distract too much - in case an unexpected situation arises, you will be caught off guard .

Following the instructions of family advisor Yote, Xie Yuan was quickly thinking about swimming to the bottom of the sea.

Although this place is not in the industrial age, Xie Yuan also saw a lot of human domestic garbage and the remains of wooden ships piled up here. Shells and corals are settling on these man-made objects.

There are also a large number of human remains at the bottom of the water. Don't think that they all died in accidents, but don't think that they all died in murder - at least some of the white bones that Xie Yuan can still see are dead. For more than 10 years, any grievances and grudges have nothing to do with me.

He hadn't even come yet at that time!

In the end, Xie Yuan found a specious white skeleton based on Yote's sign of a precious bracelet on his hand. The others were either in the wrong position or had no special decoration on his hand...

"It's up to you." Xie Yuan put the sword directly into the arms of the skeleton without thinking. The sea water will directly corrode this sword, which is said to be the inheritance sword of the Blovac family.

But in order for Udarek himself not to be troubled by the "Voice of the Gods", he still sacrificed the sword as a disposable item. As expected, the method of disposal was quite flexible.

But after putting it away, nothing happened.

Pouring his lips in boredom, Xie Yuan decided to swim back. The return trip was uneventful. Xie Yuan could feel that there seemed to be water ghosts or sea monsters moving further away, but it was just like Xie Yuan had no interest in facing them. The monster had no intention of hunting Xie Yuan.

But something unexpected happened soon after Xie Yuan just put his head out of the water——

"what!!!!!!"

A shrill scream suddenly came from a distance, and it sounded like it was Udarek's voice... the direction was also coming from the longhouse.

"What kind of trick are you doing?!"

Xie Yuan was confused by the scream, but it was obvious that something unexpected had happened, and Xie Yuan needed to rush back immediately.

However, out of caution, Xie Yuan immediately opened the communication and contacted Geralt.

"What's wrong?" Geralt was much better this time than when he made a fuss after receiving high-tech communication tools, and his tone seemed very calm.

"Are you almost at Skellige now?" Xie Yuan rushed towards the longhouse, wanting to know the location of the witcher.

"We will arrive at Keldro Port in the next two days. What's wrong?" Geralt was a little curious that Xie Yuan would ask for help. With his combat power, he could honestly say that he could fight any physical monster.

So Xie Yuan gave a brief introduction to how he came to pick up Keris, encountered the strange situation of Udarek, and encountered a strange monster phantom in the old longhouse in the past.

At the end, he revealed his thoughts: "If there is no emergency around you, can you keep the call? I will listen to the details of the call with Udarek to see if there is really anything dirty. Tangled him up.”

Geralt had no objection to this, but he reminded Xie Yuan that this situation where Udarek heard the words and ordered himself to harm himself strangely, if it is not a mental illness, it is likely to be a very difficult situation. situation - but he still has to hear Udarek describe more details before he can make a decision. When Xie Yuan arrived at the door of the longhouse, he saw the family warriors with respectful expressions on their faces. They stood on both sides, but they were also whispering.

“I never thought someone could be so brave…and so pious.…”

Xie Yuan ignored these messages. Maybe the self-mutilation of Udarek at the beginning was indeed a show or a sign of mental illness, but now, the self-mutilation from time to time is probably because he was entangled with something unclean.

As soon as he opened the door, Xie Yuan heard Caris shouting in disbelief: "But why? Why did you do it?"

Udarek, who turned his back to everyone, endured the severe pain and said slowly: "I...I must obey, this is the will of the gods."

Isn't this the will of some evil god? Xie Yuan thought in a hurry.

Caris probably had the same idea: "No god would order people to do such a thing!"

Why not? The Gods of the Old Testament often set up difficult situations to test believers and require devout people to make sacrifices to please Him.

But Xie Yuan felt at most a deep turbidity here, rather than the pure and bright sense of heaven-besides, if there is such a sacrifice, Udarek should be able to get something superhuman. Ability?

But there is none...except for his increasingly weak body and exhausted spirit due to constant self-mutilation...

Wait, Xie Yuan suddenly had an enlightenment. Maybe this is the real purpose of the "Voice of the Gods", to absorb the spiritual emotion of pain?

But Xie Yuan still wanted to discuss the specific signs with Geralt, so he immediately entered the hall, looked at a few people and asked, "What happened?"

"It's Udarek..." After being shocked, Caris tried to stabilize her emotions, but this couldn't stop her from covering her mouth. "Those voices ordered him to dig out his eyes." .”

'The monster behind the scenes is getting angry? Xie Yuan became serious now. He didn't expect that just an act of returning the sword would lead to such a violent reaction.

"What?!" But thinking in his mind, Xie Yuan looked at Udarek with his back to them with a "shocked face" and asked, "What are you doing this for?"

"This is...the...will of the gods." Udarek endured the severe pain and slowly turned to face Xie Yuan and Keris, "I want to sacrifice...for Aki."

At this time, Udarek turned around and showed what he looked like after one of his eyes was gouged out. Fortunately, this was a magical world, otherwise he would have died of blood loss with such a big blood hole in his left eye socket.

But at this time, such a big bloody hole is also very scary.

"What did the Voice of the Gods say to you?" Xie Yuan began to ask introductory questions, both for himself and for Geralt.

Udarek described the demands he heard: "They were angry...A voice said: You filthy evil man, you failed to save Aki, and now you can't even go to sea to ask for his forgiveness." . Gouge out your eyes and repent of your evil deeds in pain!"

There is a phenomenon that makes Xie Yuan feel strange. The time when Udarek heard the "oracle" was not long after he went to sea. Because he fell asleep, he received the instructions in his dream - and he was always asleep. , constantly conveying instructions.

The "Voices" would always send Udarek to his old longhouse, order him to light a torch, and would then convey their voices in the darkness.

Udarek once lit the torch out of curiosity in his dream, but could only see a vague shadow in the darkness.

Of course, this is why Udarek cannot light too many lamps at home - in their understanding, mortals cannot look directly at the gods.

And because only by constantly torturing yourself can you gain the joy of the gods, the gods will ask for more.

He looked at Udarek, who was constantly falling into a weak state and was feeling dizzy, and looked at the ferocious black figure with two horns on his head under the dim light.

Xie Yuan said goodbye to Udarek, and then turned to Caris and said, "Can I talk to you in private?"

"Come, follow me to the guest room." Caris understood the meaning and simply left Udarek alone and acted alone.

Udarek's state is obviously not a small problem.
