Chapter 239

How could anyone come up with such a terrible idea?

Who gave you the courage to do this?

But looking at these people, Theresa really had nothing to say.

This Chief Priest just so happened to strike at Theresa's weak spot; she couldn't possibly lay a hand on these unarmed villagers, even though she knew their actions were wrong.

Although she knew that what the villagers were doing was pointless.

She even knew that these villagers shouldn't have done that.

But...

"No!" Theresa said. "It's pointless, and you're doing it wrong."

"We have no choice," the Chief Priest cried, almost sobbing. "If the gods do not appease their anger, then Yae Village will be doomed forever! You, you are Heavenly Being!"

"O celestial beings, have pity on us ordinary mortals."

This is not something to be pitied or regretted at all.

Theresa then realized that these people were simply impossible to persuade!

Because reason, judgment, and humanity are absent in these people.

You could tell from their fanatical eyes.

At least for them, this is now about reason, judgment, and humanity!

That doesn't make sense.

What to do?

Taking action was out of the question; these were all prominent figures in the village. Most of the others were just ordinary elderly people, incapable of fighting.

In Theresa's own words, they are people who need to be protected.

Yet this very group of people is now forcing themselves to become sacrifices in a Sacrifice Ritual.

This...

What should we do?

Theresa panicked.

I have absolutely no idea what to do next.

This is something that cannot be agreed to.

But it seemed impossible for these villagers to refuse her request!

"Did Miss Theresa agree?" Seeing that Theresa hadn't answered for a while, the Chief Priest was certain he had made the right bet. This little girl was indeed very naive.

Once that seemingly calm and assertive guy is driven away, isn't the rest of us completely at his mercy?

Even if he is a little stronger than I expected, so what?

He's not that idiot who's Guardian Deputy.

If words don't work, then use force.

These people are just lucky to have received the Wen (文) designation.

Even if it's cheating.

As long as you don't take action, your own things will definitely be fine.

And as long as she doesn't lay a hand on me.

Then we can try to find a way to get her to 'agree'.

Just like now!

"Thank you so much!" The Chief Priest didn't give Theresa any chance to speak at all.

"Thank you so much for your contributions to Yae Village."

"Thank you for voluntarily becoming Wife of the God."

"Yae Village will never forget you."

Chapter 274 We Escaped the Ducks

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

Such a banquet.

Theresa felt completely bewildered.

You could totally ask yourself these classic questions: Who am I? Where am I? What the hell am I doing? The three classic questions!

After being promised to be a sacrifice, what followed at the banquet was more like a celebration for those people, and had nothing to do with me. They laughed, they sang, they danced.

Their excitement did nothing to sway them.

And his own sluggishness was completely incapable of infecting anyone.

At this moment, it's as if the human capacity for empathy completely disappears.

They were all in the same room.

These people seemed to be in another world, while I was in another world.

They waited until everyone had left.

When the room was empty, Theresa was the only one left.

She was left alone in the room.

Theresa couldn't understand why she had become a sacrifice. Why did these people use living people for Sacrifice Ritual? It shouldn't be like this! The Chief Priest had clearly said so at the beginning.

They do not use living people for Sacrifice Ritual.

Clearly...

Clearly...

Theresa couldn't understand it at all.

He could only sit alone in the reception room.

Until someone walked in.

Yae Sakura.

The Miko at Yae Shrine had something indescribable in her eyes. It was as if she had long anticipated things would turn out this way.

The guy who said he would protect everyone ran away.

Only these two people remained.

Things have still progressed to this point, as if there is no way to break the deadlock.

"The other person chosen as a sacrifice was my sister." Yae Sakura pushed aside some clutter on the tatami mat and sat down. She clenched her fists and placed them on her thighs, lowering her head and saying hatefully, "In the end, even if things were different."

"History will remain unchanged."

"Yae Sakura?" Theresa looked at Yae Sakura with a slightly puzzled expression.

Why does Yae Sakura look different now compared to the Yae Sakura from before?

She seemed even more indifferent, even more grief-stricken, and even more heartbreaking.

"What... nothing has changed." Yae Sakura sighed. "No matter what, nothing can be changed."

"What are you talking about?" Theresa asked, somewhat puzzled. "Nothing has changed?"

"What is it? What hasn't changed?"

"History." Yae Sakura looked up at Theresa and said, "I know how you got here, I know who you are looking for. You are in Hi-Fyūmaru."

"That fox."

"This..." Theresa felt startled.

Is this Yae Sakura's revenge?

Theresa has played Kallen Fantasy before, could this be Yae Sakura's revenge? She remembers it well, Yae Sakura opened the box herself and released the Demon in the Box.

He then used the power of the Demon in the Box to take revenge on the villagers.

Could it be...

Was what happened this time her way of getting revenge?

"No, that's not it." Yae Sakura seemed to know what Theresa was thinking. She shook her head and said, "I just made a bet with her. She said no matter what happens."

"No matter who it is, I can't be saved, let alone save my own sister."

"I... I can't do anything."

"No one can save him."

"Nothing can be changed."

It's like a curse, no matter how many times it happens, no matter what method is used. It all seems unchangeable! She will ultimately sacrifice her own sister.

She will eventually become that dark, hateful avenger.

"I'm sorry," Yae Sakura said with a sigh, "I've dragged you all into this."

"The Chief Priest and the villagers should have let their guard down by now."

"You can leave here as soon as possible, just like your friends."

Theresa was a little confused by Yae Sakura's long speech. She tilted her head, feeling that what had happened today was a bit too fast and hard to digest.

But...

"Leave? Run away?" Theresa tilted her head and asked, "Why?"

"Why did you run away?!"

"Why?" Yae Sakura seemed to have been asked the same question.

She stared blankly at Theresa for a while.

"Ha... hahahaha..."

And then, without any warning, I burst into laughter.

He burst out laughing.

Escape?

Where did they run off to?

This is a cycle; when one round ends, the next begins. The things that have happened before are replayed before your eyes again and again, one after another, continuously.

Escape...

She never succeeded.

And even if you succeed, so what? Isn't it just going through the same cycle again?

There is no future here, no present.

Only the cycle of the past repeats itself again and again.

"I'm sorry." Yae Sakura stopped smiling and said calmly, "I know that running away is useless, but at least it can save us from some trouble."

"So you should just hide, and take your student with you."

"I don't think the villagers will relentlessly pursue you."

"I'm not going to run away." Theresa seemed a little unhappy with what Yae Sakura said. Although she was indeed stunned by these actions, it didn't mean she was going to be a deserter!

"I'm not going to run away!"

Theresa, looking both serious and reliable, said, "I will save your Yae Sakura!"

"I will save you, and I will save everyone!"

"I, Theresa, will never abandon you and run away alone!"
