Chapter 146 Gem
Sawyers' abilities aside—what abilities do I have?
We have the same body, so there's no reason why he has it and I don't, right?
[Is it possible that you are not the same soul? - If you have more golden fingers, the world consciousness will kick you out.]
I'm here to work!!!
…
Forget it, if I don’t have it, then I don’t have it. I checked the existing props and there are quite a lot of them.
"Who else has toys?"
I continued to ask.
"Besides my father, there are Aunt Grey, Uncle Grey, Sister Grey, the postman, a crow, and a black cat."
I:……
There are only four people in Gray's family, and they're all taken?!
Gary is our neighbor and his family often comes to visit.
Their family was engaged in textile trade and was considered wealthy in the town. Mr. Grey even had a title. The sisters were twelve and fourteen years old.
...So, only those who have more contact with Sawyers will be controlled by him?
"Is there a jewel on my head?"
I asked him.
He nodded and said, "My brother's gem is the most beautiful gem I have ever seen. It is white and sparkles."
"Why do gemstones turn black? Will mine turn black too?"
I asked again.
He shook his head. "I don't know either..."
"But Sangsang's gemstone has never turned black."
Okay, not bad.
It seems his abilities are of no use to me either.
Although he probably won't hurt me, but just in case.
——But I am really curious, why do gems turn black?
And why can Sawyers only control her after she turns black... If this gem represents the soul or mind, then turning black means corruption, or being seduced?
Is there an inducement or is it themselves?
I do have a guess.
Villar suddenly spoke, and then he appeared next to us.
"Sawyers, want to go out for a walk with me?"
He held out his hand to Sawyers, who stared at him, as if hesitating.
"Where's my brother...?"
He asked this.
"Go out separately, and then you'll know..." Veraer lowered his voice, "whether their gems have changed."
Sawyers' eyes lit up.
Then she grabbed his hand.
I was left at home like this.
——It’s afternoon now, which is our time for a walk.
It only took about ten minutes for the two men to come back, and then Villar took me out.
There were quite a few people in the town in the afternoon, and many of them had just finished their meals. I could see their eyes focused on me. Sawyers and I were easy to tell apart, even though we looked the same, but Sawyers always had a smile on his face, while I usually had a blank expression.
The cheerful eldest son and the introverted younger son.
This is what everyone knows about the twins of the Miliel family.
But I usually stay with Sawyers all the time, so don’t I feel that... When Villar and I come out together, isn’t it a bit too much attention on me?
[As expected.]
Villar whispered.
Xiaoyu, on the same route, more people are looking at you than Sawyers.
I:?
No, I remember I had a buff that everyone disliked.
Then Villar took me home and went out again with Sawyers.
When they came back, half an hour had passed.
"Sangsang, their blackness has increased."
Sawyers told me excitedly.
"I'm about to get a new toy!"
No, wait, that's not the point?!
No matter how I think about it, it can only mean that their gems turned black because of me, right?
It looks like it.
It doesn't look like I have that ability... No, I do.
I suddenly remembered that in the world of Arinea, when I turned into a mermaid and killed the killer whale man for the first time - Yang Muqi and the others were "charmed" by me.
I shouldn't have been able to notice it, but I still remember Yang Muqi's vigilance after that - it was too obvious.
So, is this a natural talent of mine?
Or maybe it was something the protagonist had, the ability to charm and control, but because of my arrival, they became twins, so this ability was simply divided into two.
I'll tempt them to fall, and then Sawyers will control them.
This kind of thing is not impossible.
So how did I get this buff of being hated by everyone? It’s obvious that I now have a strange and popular physique!
And that Allah, if he is about to turn completely black as Sawyers said, it means that the Allah covets me too much. The look in his eyes before was indeed not my illusion.
—I thought it was due to his ambition, but it turns out it was my fault?!
But it seems that as long as Sawyers and I stay together, there will be no danger to either of us.
Soon, even, the town would be completely under Sawyers' control.
The future is bright!
【The villain's path is bright! 】
And Sawyers obviously figured out the reason behind this. He looked even happier, his golden eyes filled with excitement.
"We're awesome!"
Then he hugged me tightly.
But I always feel that... things won't go so smoothly.
…
Six months later, as we moved around more and more, everyone except Asu Yue became Sawyers's toy - and none of them noticed.
This is Sawyers' ability. He can control these people. These people still have their own will and may not even have any abnormalities, but as long as Sawyers has a thought, they will do what he says.
Even if it means death.
But Sawyers is not really a naughty kid. Although we are only three years old, we know what the world is like well enough. We have to disguise ourselves because we are abnormal. Neither of us is strong enough to fight against all the dangers outside.
But it was discovered——
We were having class in the Red House when a group of masked men wearing black clothes and red cloaks rushed into the Red House.
"Lord Eramor Allah, we sense that your soul is tarnished - this is a betrayal of the Great Father. Please come with us."
The leader said this to Allah who was teaching.
Sawyers and I sat in the front row, wearing the same frightened expressions as the other kids.
“This is slander.”
The old man said this, with no concealment of anger in his eyes.
"Even the Judge of the Divine Court cannot say such unforgivable words to me... a believer loyal to the Father!"
He said loudly, slamming his hands on the table.
But the masked men ignored his words. The leading masked man took out a golden bottle from his pocket and unscrewed the lid. "If you are so confident, then extend your hand."
"I will judge you here—whether you have betrayed the Father."
The old man held out his hand firmly, and Sawyers and I watched nervously.
I even started thinking about how we were going to get away.
The golden bottle tilted, and the liquid inside slowly poured out. It should be the same pure holy water that we use during baptism. The liquid dripped onto Allah's hand, and his palm instantly turned black.
“Ahhhh—”
A sound of pain came out of his mouth.
In just a moment, his entire hand turned into black carbonization and then shattered.
The masked man was not surprised at all, but waved his hand. The two masked men behind him skillfully took a golden dagger and stabbed it into the old man's head.
Quickly and neatly, the old man's entire body began to collapse along the dagger.
"...The toy is ruined."
Then the first child started screaming, followed by a group of children crying and screaming.
The masked man's gaze swept over us, and I held Sawyers' hand tightly.
This holy water is of no use to us.
But... it works for those we control.
"Go check if there's anything wrong with them."
He wiped his hands and spoke to the people behind him. At once, every man in black rushed forward with a golden bottle in his hand.
Then all the children behind us rushed over in an instant.
I looked at Sawyers in surprise.
"Wow--"
He was the first to cry, and I instantly understood what he meant.
but……
It's too easy to see through.
I hugged him and started crying. At worst, we could run away with Asu Yue.
The setting that you can't leave Asu Yue is very deceptive.
Of course, the few kids were no match for that group of people. They were turned into ashes by the holy water almost instantly, and then only the two of us were left.
Holy water thrown at us is of no use.
The masked man in the lead looked over.
"Are you the culprit?"
He looked down at us.
"Or - are you really innocent?" His eyes swept between the two of us.
"...His jewel hasn't changed."
They should be the people from the Divine Court that Asu Yue was afraid of before - then they must have ways to guard against monsters.
So he won't be easily charmed by me.
Through the mask, his pair of purple eyes looked at me without any fluctuation.
Then he picked us up, one in each hand, and walked out of the classroom, soon crossing the main hall.
Asu Yue is here, we two can't run away.
——What should I do? Should I kill them all?
A three-headed dog emerged silently from the shadows and bit the last person.
With a scream of terror, the masked man who was carrying us stopped, dropped us, took out a golden musket, and the bullet shot out from the muzzle and hit the three-headed dog.
Blood spurted out, but it was obviously not a fatal injury.
The injured puppy attacked the people around it like crazy. I turned my head and found that Sawyers looked a little nervous for the first time.
I:……
Okay, no need to think about whether or not to kill them.
The protagonist has already taken action, I can’t be a drag, right?
Villar——
In an instant, Verar appeared behind the masked leader like a ghost, and the dangling black tentacles instantly pierced into his body.
Then it was dodged, the red cloak fluttered in the air, and was directly crushed by the tentacles.
Villar's ability was also suppressed. After all, the power of [God] was enough to break through this world. His current strength was less than one percent. Unless he wanted to be kicked out of the world by the world consciousness, he had to restrain his own strength.
But it's obviously enough to deal with these people.
"heresy--"
The mask was broken in half, revealing half of a face that looked a little too young.
He pointed the gun at Villar, and Villar reached out and lifted the black ribbon from his face.
Those star-like eyes looked at him.
The young man choked for a moment, his expression became confused, his eyes became a little dazed, and then he could no longer support himself and knelt on the ground. But soon, he covered his head with his hands, and the golden badge with four hands painted on it hanging on his chest began to glow.
"Praise be to my Lord Heraen, your children pray for your power."
The hymn came out of his mouth quickly, and the golden light quickly enveloped it, then bounced off Verar's tentacles.
Villar frowned and jumped back.
【It is the same class of energy as mine.】
I looked at the four-handed statue in the middle of the main hall in some disbelief.
——Does this [God] really exist?
Villar was temporarily unable to get close to the young man, and with the help of this young man, the three-headed dog was gradually suppressed.
Sawyers and I exchanged a glance.
Veral pulled the ribbon, quickly picked us up and rushed outside.
The three-headed dog was at the rear to cover our retreat, but it soon collapsed and returned to the shadows, while we had already run out.
Now I have to go find Asu Yue.
Only with Asuzuki can we leave.
Maybe Villar was fast enough and the group of people didn't catch up with us, but when we walked home we found a mess on the ground - black debris everywhere.
"All the toys...are gone."
In other words, everyone in the town was killed by that group of masked men.
Asuyue and Huoyol...are they okay?
Although it is a good thing for us that they both died, I can feel that Asu Yue is still alive.
Just before we arrived, I saw a carriage pull up at the gate of the manor.
There was something on there that made me feel very uncomfortable.
Then Asuyue and Huoyol were dragged out by several people - and then they were forced into the car.
who are they?
Is that the "Monster Alliance"?
To be honest, I really don't want to follow him - it's obvious that nothing good will come of it!
Then I got the warning again.
"...We need to go find our mother."
Obviously, Sawyers also received this warning, and his expression was a little gloomy.
I asked Villar to go back. He is my absolute trump card - he must not be exposed.
Holding Sawyers' hand, we ran out of the hidden haystack.
"Father, Mother—"
I shouted loudly.
They looked over.
I found that the people who were pulling Asuyue and Huoyol were wearing the same white uniform. Their faces were not purely human faces, but had the features of monsters, and some even looked very scary.
"My child!"
Asuzuki yelled.
Then we got caught.
Asu Yue's expression suddenly became relieved - that's why I said her acting was very poor.
How could a mother who truly loves her child want her child to be caught?
She didn't even say "don't come over here" to us.
——She was very afraid that we would not show up, after all, we were her only support.
We got on the carriage and were guarded by a group of people.
"Brother, do you have any gems?"
"What gem?"
An unfamiliar voice interrupted, and Sawyers and I paused at the same time.
"You don't think you can get away with talking like that, do you?"
"There are many people in the guild who can hear, little brat."
"Come, tell uncle, what gem?"
I:……
Help, there's a pervert.
Sawyers and I kept silent—our most private conversation had been discovered.
What's going on? Isn't this our Gemini's special way of communicating?!
[…That’s not what I said. I said it’s similar to ultrasonic sound, but humans can’t hear it.]
I was careless.
I looked at the "special phone" in my bag.
Since entering this world, it has returned to its original state.
[Host, if you want to use this item, I won't be able to speak when you call me.]
It was a special situation, and I couldn't keep in touch with him like before.
After using the props, a familiar pager appeared on his waist. Then he thought about it and opened the contacts list, only to find it was blank.
I thought about it and shook Sawyers' hand.
To outsiders, it looked like I was huddled next to my brother out of fear.
A black gem suddenly appeared on the panel in front of him.
#Brother, can you hear me?
That's what I called him in my head.
