Chapter 55 Your efforts are meaningless
Taking advantage of the human nature of "love of laziness and hate of work", the person in charge was basically always successful in controlling the priests.
Everyone is his accomplice, and the priests can only helplessly accept his manipulation.
So what if you have great magical powers and strong strength, aren't they still firmly under his control?
However, people always make mistakes.
The person in charge only calculated people's hearts, but forgot that there are not only humans but also other animals in this world, such as dogs.
When he heard that the priest had suddenly brought back a dog from the people, he did not take it seriously and chose to let the priest's behavior go.
As long as the priest is willing to serve the Marrow-sucking Kingdom obediently, the person in charge will give him whatever he wants, even his own position. What's more, he is just a dog who can't even speak human language?
However, it was precisely because of this dog that the person in charge almost lost the priest, causing the priest to flee from the marrow-sucking country.
For hundreds of years, the leader thought that life would be so smooth sailing. Every time a priest escaped, he could easily bring the person back. But it happened that one time that the dog appeared and made him fall.
Dogs don’t understand any big principles. In their world, the owner who is willing to treat them well is their heaven and everything to them.
When the priest becomes its master, it is willing to give everything it has, including its life.
Because it doesn't need to think too much, it doesn't have the complex human nature that the master is used to seeing, and the master doesn't take it seriously.
So, in such a huge marrow-sucking country, the priest finally welcomed the first companion in his long life who was willing to stand by his side unconditionally.
The priest had undergone a brainwashing ceremony and was not aware that he would be put into a coma by Lunxuntang's musical instruments. When he woke up again, his memory was gone, and he believed everything Lunxuntang said.
But the fact that the priest doesn’t remember and has lost his memory doesn’t mean that the “Laughing King” doesn’t remember and has lost his memory together.
Due to long-term contact with the priest, the white dog named "Xiao Ba" absorbed some of the priest's energy. Its strength and speed have surpassed ordinary people's cognition, and its IQ has reached the level of a 20-year-old adult.
Because it has the intelligence of an adult, it quickly realized that its owner was accepting restraint.
The priest fainted after hearing the playing of musical instruments, and then received something called "Piaoqi", which made him lose his memory and listen to the words of the master obediently.
At first, it felt nothing.
If it forgets it, then it can just get along with the priest again.
It is cute and has a gentle personality. It does not need the blessing of memory to easily gain the favor of the priest. What's more, the priest's memory has only been cleared, but the feelings are still there.
They can still continue to live happily.
but……
It was precisely because they had spent so much time together that it could understand the priest's emotions even if the priest had a blank expression.
He is in pain, he is struggling, and he longs for redemption.
As it said before, even if the memory disappears, the feelings remain.
The owner's feelings are still close to it and love it;
The master's emotions are still rejecting and hating the person in charge.
It watched the priest repeatedly fight against Lunxun Hall for freedom, but was repeatedly pulled back and his memory was changed.
It doesn't mind getting to know its owner again and again, but it can't just watch its owner savor the sadness over and over again without caring about it.
It clearly saw the master's soul crying out.
It knew that it had to do something to help him and rescue him!
It does not need the gratitude of its owner, and it does not matter even if the owner completely forgets it.
It only wants its owner to be happy, happy for the rest of his life, to live a life surrounded by love, and to end this cycle.
After it made up its mind, and after the priest had undergone the brainwashing ceremony for the last time, it did not choose to take the initiative to step forward and meet the priest again and get to know him again.
What it was about to do next would affect its life, and the priest might very well lose it forever.
Getting to know each other again will only add to the sadness.
In order to help the priests escape from the sea of suffering, it familiarized itself with the terrain of the Marrow-sucking Kingdom, and took advantage of the fact that the priests had no vigilance against creatures other than humans, and quietly stole all the musical instruments that could be played from them, and replaced them with some folk imitations.
It had observed these people. Although they used musical instruments to control the priests, they were not familiar with the instruments in their hands and could not tell the difference. This was why it dared to make the bold change.
When the priest could no longer tolerate Lunxuntang's exploitation and repeated the cycle, and rebelled against the crowd led by the leader, Lunxuntang immediately took out his musical instrument.
Then they were surprised to find that the musical instruments had no effect on the priests! !
"What's going on?!"
"How is that possible?!"
“It’s actually a fake?!”
"What on earth just happened?!"
The continuous exclamations made it feel happy, as if it was listening to a beautiful song.
Its actions created an opportunity for the priests.
The priest didn't understand why these people suddenly became so abnormal, but he knew that the opportunity was rare and he must seize it to clear the obstacles in front of him in one fell swoop.
"Don't panic."
Just when the other people in Lunxun Hall thought they were going to fail, the person in charge suddenly stood up calmly and spoke slowly.
“Even if the instruments in our hands have been replaced, that only applies to the instruments that can be seen.
As for the mastermind behind this, he probably doesn't know that as long as they are determined, there are always some items that are extremely difficult to replace."
The boss gave a look to one of his few trusted subordinates, a skinny man.
The skinny man smiled sinisterly. He swept his eyes over the crowd, and then, in full view of everyone, his nails suddenly became extremely sharp. The next second, he aimed at his own chest and stabbed it hard. Blood splattered everywhere. His expression remained unchanged as he quickly took out a piece of black bone from his body.
Then he broke the bone in half with force, revealing the dark black whistle inside.
This time, it was Xiaoba's turn to have his smile disappear.
However, this was not beyond its expectations. It had anticipated it long ago and this was the part it had been waiting for.
This should be Lunxuntang’s last trump card.
Xiaoba didn't hesitate at all. He used all his strength to rush towards the skinny man. Under the skinny man's astonished gaze, he caught the man off guard and snatched the whistle from the skinny man's hand.
It turned its back to the priest and glared fiercely at everyone in Lunxun Hall, as if it was protecting the priest.
In front of everyone in Lunxuntang, it bit off the last whistle with force, destroying Lunxuntang's hope.
"Damn it! Where did this beast come from? How dare you ruin my good thing?"
The skinny man reacted and was furious, and was about to attack Xiaoba immediately.
The priest naturally came to the rescue without hesitation.
"Woof!"
Xiaoba turned around and looked at the priest in front of him gently, taking in the priest's face. He knew that the priest could understand his language, so he said his last words.
Don't worry about me, leave the rest to me, you must leave the Marrow-sucking Country!
As soon as it finished speaking, it raised its front paws and, without giving the priest any time to recover, threw him hard into a corner of the sky.
That location is the border of the Marrow-sucking Country.
Master, you must be happy!
Xiaoba roared angrily towards the sky, and the next moment, his muscles swelled greatly, revealing a mouthful of fangs. The fangs lengthened, and he turned his gaze towards everyone in Lunxun Hall.
“Kill it!”
The person in charge watched the priest leave from his sight, how could he not be angry? His face turned ashen and he gave orders on the spot.
"Don't worry! Leave it to me! I'm going to dismember it alive bit by bit, then make dog soup for myself to nourish myself!"
As soon as the boss finished giving the order, the skinny man immediately responded.
The sky gradually darkened and time passed by little by little.
The person in charge quietly looked at the white dog that the priest had raised before. The white dog favored by the priest was naturally strong in combat. What's more, this white dog had been secretly and consciously studying them, analyzing the weaknesses of each of them, and considering targeted response strategies.
However, even if it had made preparations in advance, the people from Lunxun Hall were not so easy to deal with.
For the sake of the priests, Xiaoba fought with them continuously, exhausted his physical strength, and fought with them until the last second of his life.
"Xiao Ba, do you think you really helped the priest?"
Suddenly, the person in charge made a gesture, asking everyone to stop, and spoke to Xiaoba.
At this time, Xiaoba was already dying. They didn't even need to do anything. In less than a quarter of an hour, he would die of exhaustion.
The chief's lips curled up. He knew that Xiao Ba could understand human language, so he didn't need to consider whether the other party could understand or not. With the purpose of killing the other party and making him die a miserable death, he spoke word by word:
"Your actions were good, but unfortunately, you received too little information and were completely helping in the wrong direction.
Do you think that if you destroy all the musical instruments in our hands, we will not be able to find and control the priests?
Then you are totally wrong. What we really rely on are never these musical instruments. They are just derivatives of "Piaoqi".
We can make as many as we want later.”
After finishing speaking, the person in charge looked at him with contempt and said sarcastically:
"Until death, your efforts will be meaningless."
It's just a matter of time. He can still find the priest and let the priest continue to serve the Marrow-sucking Kingdom.
"Woof!"
After hearing what the boss said, Xiaoba suddenly shouted.
The person in charge heard the sound and looked down at it, expecting to see a pair of desperate and painful eyes, but there was none.
He couldn't understand the language of dogs, but he was not blind, he could read the other's eyes.
It says: It won't be meaningless.
Just laugh as much as you want, and I will let you be proud for a while. I believe that if you have reincarnation, then I must have it too. God cannot be so unfair as to allow a wicked person like you to be so rampant.
I will definitely come back one day in the future, and when I come back that day, you will definitely lose everything!
