Chapter 852: Why Are Gods Protecting Bad People?

Editor: Henyee Translations

Amelia couldn’t help but hug Alex. Goosebumps appeared on her skin. “Does anyone really do this in this world? How do you pray for the protection of the gods to make a drum out of human skin?” Shouldn’t such a cruel method be punished by the gods?

Ery chuckled. “They said no. They took my sister away, but they told the people kneeling that there was no such thing. They said it was a rumor that bad people were spreading and deliberately smearing them.”

Those people brought the drum made of their sister’s skin and walked around, enjoying the worship of countless people. In the end, they returned to the original spot where they had made the drum.

Relying on her small and agile body, Ery crawled through the cracks in the wall and the bushes. She found her sister’s hair and eyes where the people were.

“I hid my sister’s hair and eyes in the doll’s body.” Ery hugged the doll tightly, her eyes filled with attachment. “I wanted to snatch my sister back, but those people were too fierce and there were clubs and knives, so I burned their house in the middle of the night. They caught me and said in front of everyone that I was a bad child and they were going to redeem me with kindness, so they sent me back to Mommy.”

When her mother heard what she had done, she was very angry and locked her up. Ery cried and asked her mother if she knew long ago. She was the one who gave her sister to those bad people, right? Her mother told her to shut up in exasperation. Her mother refused to admit it and even said that if she spoke nonsense again, she would sew her mouth shut.

Ery looked down and said, “I was holding the rag doll. I asked the rag doll if it wanted Mommy. I could give it half of Mommy.”

Amelia was at a loss. “Why split Mommy in half…”

Ery giggled. “Because Mommy isn’t a good Mommy.”

On the night of the lightning and thunder, Ery took advantage of her mother’s sleep and smashed her to death with a very big rock. Lightning illuminated the mirror in the house. She saw that her face was covered in blood. It was terrifying. She also saw the rag doll sitting up behind her, as if encouraging her. So she split it with her mother and finally returned to the place where the people who had taken her sister lived. This time, she set a very, very big fire. Even she was burned to death. Many people died in that place. Hundreds of people.

The ghosts were silent. As expected of a ghost king, she was a ruthless person! She killed her mother, killed the demons who took her sister, and even burned herself to death. No wonder she could become a ghost king. She was a little ruthless!

At this point, Ery grinned and said, “I’m done with my story. Do you think I did the right thing? Am I very brave? In the end, I even found my sister. I placed her eyes here. Her hair is also her hair, but I can’t take back her skin.” There was a golden light in that place, as if there was really a god protecting her.

Ery’s eyes were filled with confusion. “But why? Those people are all bad people. Why are the gods still protecting them?” That was why she brought the doll and ran so far to come here. In the beginning, this was only a deserted island. There was nothing and no one. After she came in, she seemed to be trapped and could not leave. After a long time, she felt so lonely and bored… Until a beautiful uncle came to the island and built an amusement park. She realized that she could move and play everywhere. She still wanted to look for that uncle, but for some reason, she could not get close to that uncle. As long as that uncle was around, she was ostracized.

Ery stopped talking about the rest and looked stubbornly at Amelia. “Tell me, am I right? Are they bad people? Why are the gods protecting bad people?”

Amelia opened her mouth, but she couldn’t count the words. Were the people who had made the Phantom Drum, who surrounded it and begged for the protection of the gods, really unaware? Ery had burned so many people, but did everyone deserve to die? So who was right and who was wrong?

In the end, Amelia shook her head honestly. “I don’t know if you’re doing the right thing now. I don’t know why they did so many bad things and have the protection of the gods. If I know the answer in the future, I’ll definitely tell you.”

Ery looked at Amelia steadily. After a long time, she nodded. “Alright, I’ll wait for you. Remember to tell me when you find the answer!”

Amelia nodded and made a pinky promise with Ery.

It was almost dawn.

Alex looked at the sea and said, “We should go back.”
