Chapter 425 I Will Recall God for You
The pale and weak smile on the high priest's face made Zhong Mu clench his fists silently.
He must try once, and try to take the initiative to save someone who has nothing to do with him, and he will definitely succeed.
This is a hurdle. Once he crosses it, he will step into a new level and become stronger than he is now, both mentally and physically.
"Yes." Zhong Mu murmured, "I will let you see the most beautiful sun outside Mingyue City."
The high priestess nodded silently, and after gradually relaxing, her body became heavy and weak, and she looked shaky.
"If we want to perform the summoning ritual, we need to hurry up." Mu He urged softly, "She won't be able to hold on for much longer."
Zhong Mu nodded, took a deep breath, and became extremely alert, ready to take this person out no matter what this time and deal with those selfish and extreme residents.
"I'll get someone to unlock all the doors. Let's go down quickly. If possible, I want to take you away alive." Zhong Mu immediately turned around and walked towards the elevator. "Doctor, wait here for me. I'll be right back."
"Yeah." Mu He nodded, listened to the sound of Zhong Mu's footsteps as he left, lowered her head and searched for her medicine, trying to maintain the high priest's state to ensure she could hold on for a while longer.
"If I can't hold on, you must take part of my body and burn the rest, and let me resurrect outside of Lifefall City." The high priest murmured softly, feeling Mu He's concern for her, "Even if I can't get out alive, you must get out safely."
"Yes." Mu He responded, "I believe he can lead us out."
"You two have such a good relationship... You trust each other." The high priest curled up against the wall, steadying his breathing as he looked at Mu He. "You seem to be blind?"
"Yeah." Mu He nodded. "It's been a long time. I've long been accustomed to the darkness."
"Habits aren't good, but they do make people feel more comfortable." The high priest turned his head and looked out the window. "It's a shame you'll never see such a beautiful sky again. I almost didn't see it either."
"How about I give you my eyes as a reward? My body will still be intact the next time I'm reborn anyway."
Mu He paused for a moment as he shook out the pills. Then he shook his head silently, a smile playing on his lips. "I've said before, I'm used to the darkness. It doesn't matter if I don't have new eyes. Besides... I've found a replacement that can help me see the world."
"If I suddenly regain my sight, I'll be very troubled."
The high priest looked thoughtful, "Can't bear to part with that nice blind stick you found?"
"I found a very good guide dog."
The high priest shook his head speechlessly. "It seems that you really like that little dog. It's worth giving up restoring his eyesight for him."
"It's okay. I don't want to use someone else's eyes, and they're yours. I don't want you to lose anything anymore. Protect everything you have. They all belong to you and shouldn't be taken away by others." Mu He murmured softly, not knowing whether he was telling the high priest or himself, but his voice was very gentle, which made the high priest feel very comfortable.
If two such good people are not worthy of being like gods in her heart, then what is the point of the god who abandoned this place?
Her faith in God had long been wiped out, and now she only believed in what she believed in.
"Thank you." The high priest took a deep breath, her eyelids drooped, and her breathing became weaker and weaker. If she had not chatted with Mu He to maintain consciousness and hope, she would have collapsed in this darkness.
"Don't thank me, just thank my lovely guide dog. He loves to be praised." Mu He stuffed the pill into the high priestess's mouth, gave her a sip of water, touched her blood-stained hair, and said gently, "Hold on a little longer. I can't see the sky anymore, but you can still see it. Don't give up easily."
"Hmm..." The high priest nodded, his eyes slightly red.
After staying in the cold City of Death for too long, I had long forgotten the kindness from others. It was like warm sunshine falling into my heart, soothing all the pain.
Zhong Mu brought the gods' messengers back to unlock the door.
After entering this area, the messengers became cautious in their movements. After quietly unlocking the door for the high priest, they stood aside without saying a word.
When Zhong Mu came back, he brought a blanket. He put it on the high priestess and helped her walk out.
After being trapped for so long and being so weak, her slender legs trembled with every step she took, and her whole body was staggering, as if she was using up the last bit of her strength to leave the city.
Zhong Mu supported the high priest worriedly while holding Mu He's hand as they entered the elevator and went down to the main city.
When he walked to the gate outside the main city with a staggering step, the high priest ignored the expectant faces crowded in front of the main city, but slowly looked up at the vast sky and took a deep breath, as if it didn't matter if he died here at this moment.
She broke free from the cage and died looking up at the vast sky, her body and mind free.
"High Priest...! Long time no see..."
"The high priest looks so weak. It's all that damned city lord's fault! I don't know what he did to the high priest!"
"Yes, yes, but we have already killed the city lord! After the high priest summons the gods, he will be free! No one can bully you anymore!"
"Come on, High Priest! God is back. Everyone can be happy, including you, High Priest. Hurry and call God back."
Those voices that were looking forward to enthusiasm were now filled with concern, as if the word "cold" had never appeared in Mingyue City.
They showed their concern for the high priest and strongly condemned the city lord's actions. Their faces were full of innocence, which almost made people think that they were a group of innocent people who were unaware of the situation.
The high priest withdrew his gaze from the sky and did not look at those people. He just lowered his eyes and stared at the ground below. With the support of Zhong Mu, he stepped tremblingly onto the ladder of the summoning platform.
The last time he appeared on the podium where everyone was paying attention was when God had not yet disappeared.
At that time, she was still the high priestess admired by everyone and the representative of hope and life in Mingyue City. What she faced were also faces like these, full of enthusiasm and love for her.
It felt like just the day before she set foot in such a place again, but her heart had turned cold and she could no longer smile at the residents of Lifefall City as she did before.
The same person once wore a white dress, the hem of the dress fluttering in the wind, like flapping wings and flying, with a pretty face and a smile as beautiful as a flower.
At this moment, she was just standing there in a tattered, gray, bloodstained dress with an expressionless face. Her body was thin and fragile, her eyes were dark, and she responded woodenly to the hypocritical shouts of the group.
"Okay... I will call back God for you."
