The Death List Novel - Chapter 69

Chapter 69 The Grievances Of Orphans
Catherine leaned against the high walls of the courtyard and curled up in a corner, looking at Albert Castle in front of her at a loss. Blazing flames could be vaguely seen in the windows of certain floors of the castle. This ancient castle, which had ruled the Audi á region for more than 300 years, would probably become a pile of rubble after tonight.

Everything in front of her made Catherine feel extremely scared. She was now very close to the castle gate. As long as she turned around and left, she could still leave the castle through the stone bridge.

However, this charming hostel lady was unwilling to leave this place like this. Unlike the other townspeople who were dominated by anger and fear, she did not come to Albert Castle alone to seek justice from the Albert family or to find an antidote to the disease.

Catherine had a feeling that if she did not take the initiative to look for her little lover tonight, the young Dr. Stan would probably disappear from her life forever.

A cold voice reminded the owner of the inn that she should leave this place immediately to find a safe place. Even if she had found Wellington Stan, the promising young doctor would not have taken her to heart. They would never have had a happy ending.

However, another voice was always tempting and inspiring her. That young man was different from the others. He would definitely leave his chest to her, just like the nights he spent in the inn.

“Catherine, why are you here?” Just as the owner of the inn was at a loss, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.

“Wellington!” Catherine turned her head in shock and looked at the figure who was still struggling to move in this direction despite being squeezed by the crowd in the distance. Her charming eyes flickered with a bright divine light.

“Wellington!” The hostel owner opened her arms and flew into Qin Lun’s embrace like a bird. Her plump body almost caused the young doctor to stagger.

“What are you doing here? Are you sick too?” Qin Lun hugged the woman’s soft and plump body and asked confusedly.

“I…” The usually shrewd boss lady blushed and felt a little embarrassed. This was not easy to explain for the hostel lady who had lived independently since she was a teenager.

“Alright, no matter what, let’s leave this place first!”

Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at the hostel owner whose hair was messy and whose skirt was covered in mud. He pulled her towards the stone bridge.

Just as the two of them squeezed out of the castle gate, Qin Lun suddenly felt a chill down his neck and couldn’t help but look up at the sky.

“It’s raining!” Qin Lun reached out to catch a pea-sized water droplet and sighed in his heart.

Before this, he had been worried that this storm that had been brewing would delay the townspeople’s arrival at Albert Castle. And now … for the Albert family, this rain was already too late!

“Wellington, your shirt is torn!” Katherine frowned and flipped through Kieran’s sleeves. After finding the little lover, the landlady no longer cared about the chaos around her. She pressed the young man’s arm tightly on her full chest and was unwilling to let go of it at all.

“Haha, go back to the inn and help me sew it up!” Qin Lun patted the back of Catherine’s hand. The nervous and panicked lady boss revealed a calm expression before the collapse of Mount Tai. He was very surprised.

“En!” Catherine nodded happily, as if she was a little girl who had just begun to fall in love.

“Look, what is that?” The screams of panicked townsfolk suddenly came to mind behind the two of them.

Qin Lun immediately turned his head vigilantly and saw some black dots flying out of a floor-to-ceiling window in the middle of the castle.

After jumping out of the window, a few of the black dots spread out their giant bat wings, like a glider, flying through the dark sky in the face of a growing storm. A few other black dots grabbed onto the outer wall of the castle and climbed down like apes. Amongst them, a silvery-white figure was the most eye-catching.

“Catherine, you go first!” Qin Lun stared at the black dots and pushed away the owner of the inn.

“No, I want to be with you. If you want to leave, then leave together!” Catherine’s expression changed. Not only did she not let go of Qin Lun, she even hugged him tightly.

“Catherine, listen to me. It’s not safe for you to be with me.” Qin Lun shook his head solemnly. “Follow the fleeing townsfolk and hide in the forest! When you’re free, go straight back to the inn. I’ll find you!”

“You promise!” The hostel lady bit her lips with a pale face.

“I promise!” Qin Lun revealed a stiff smile.

Catherine glanced at her lover with resentment and walked back to the stone bridge step by step.

Seeing the owner of the inn being coaxed away by him, Qin Lun heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to run towards the castle courtyard. The doctor’s expression was a little ugly. There were too many werewolves and vampires, so it was normal for Nova and the others to be unable to stop them. However, he did not expect that the werewolves and vampires had already escaped from the banquet hall before he could escape into the woods on the hillside.

Compared to the exorcists, these werewolves and vampires probably hated him more. Although they were currently fleeing for their lives, if they discovered him, they might lose their rationality and chase after him first. It was too dangerous for Catherine to stay with him, and it would be safer for the innkeeper’s wife to be alone.

As for Qin Lun himself, he felt that it was not a good idea to flee to the hillside forest. Instead, it was safer for the townsfolk to hide in the courtyard. After all, he was different from Catherine and was the target of hatred. If werewolves and vampires were to discover them in the sparsely populated forest, there would be no way for them to escape.

On the contrary, the appearance of the werewolves and vampires caused the villagers in the courtyard to panic. Some of the people began to flee towards the castle.

Qin Lun could only go up against the current again and squeeze back into the courtyard with great difficulty, hiding behind a neat bush.

“These exorcists are really useless!” The doctor panted heavily and cursed to himself. However, he also understood that this was not Nova’s fault. There were too many violent people in Albert Castle. He did not expect that he would still not be able to escape the castle after spending so much time.

“Ao!” The silver werewolf quickly descended to the ground and roared at the townsfolk in the courtyard. The townsfolk retreated in horror, spreading out a large circle in the courtyard.

“Laura!” Looking at the scarlet-eyed silver werewolf, Qin Lun let out a long sigh.

Laura didn’t have Little Miller by her side. It seemed that the youngest Albert member really couldn’t escape.

“Surround it, don’t let it go!” A group of people wielded torches and filed out of the main hall of the main castle. The official Holy Healing Master Totti and the mayors of several small towns were followed by a group of heavily armed small town security forces.

Seeing the appearance of the mayors, the townsfolk finally regained their composure. Although the werewolves that Laura had turned into looked ferocious and terrifying, they were not unacceptable creatures to the townspeople who lived in the mountains and forests and were accustomed to seeing wild beasts.

Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at the group of policemen holding guns and knives behind Totti. He slowly stood up and walked towards the crowd.

The death list had already reminded him that Laura was the werewolf progenitor, and if nothing unexpected happened, she was also one of the two key figures that ushered in the Dark Age. If Laura died here early, would the Dark Age still appear and where would the history of this world go?

Countless thoughts surged through Qin Lun’s mind. His rationality told him that he had achieved all his goals and should not continue to risk appearing in front of Laura. However, right at this checkpoint, the silhouettes of many victims appeared in front of the doctor.

Oddo, Bly, Frank, Mary, Elizabeth, Baron Albert, and even the half-ghost face of Bonny seemed to murmur something to him.

Perhaps after killing a werewolf progenitor, the Dark Age would shrink once again. If the shattered starry sky was able to plunder more world essences, the higher the reward for his own world exploration would be?

Qin Lun instinctively refused to think of the victims. He slowly approached the crowd amidst the contradictory mentality. When he regained his senses, he discovered that he had unknowingly arrived not far from Totti and the others.

“Doctor Stan, are you still alive? That’s great!” Toddy’s eyes suddenly lit up and he saw Qin Lun outside the encirclement.

“Wellington Stan!” The silver-white human wolf turned its head sensitively and looked at the culprit who had caused all of this. Sparks of hatred appeared in its scarlet eyes.

“Yes, I’m still alive!” Qin Lun smiled bitterly and shook his head. He walked to Toddy’s side. Since they had already discovered him, there was no need for him to hide anymore. “What’s the situation upstairs?”

‘”I didn’t have time to enter the banquet hall. I just listened to the remarks of my companions. The situation was terrible. Lady Nova was killed, Bonny and Myr were seriously injured, and the other exorcists were almost unable to move. I left behind a few paramedics and came back down!” Toddy said solemnly.

Nova’s dead? Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat. This rough-built Overlord Flower was very powerful. It was probably because of this incident that she was determined to live and die that she pleaded for mercy in the battle.

“Wellington Stan, I didn’t expect to see you here again!” The werewolf’s hateful gaze made Qin Lun feel a slight stinging pain on his face.

“Miss Laura, please forgive me for the harm I’ve done to the Albert family!” Qin Lun smiled and nodded at Laura.

“Why, why must we be killed? We did not harm humans like evil witches. We are not guilty!” Laura stared at the doctor with great hatred.

“The loneliness and sadness of your loved ones leaving one by one makes you thirsty for affection and recognition and turns the people around you into inhuman beings one by one. While giving them undying lives, you leave this sorrow to them forever.” Qin Lun lowered his eyelids and said indifferently.

“When you become werewolves and vampires, no matter how many humans are around you, you are just another form of orphans. You can only walk in the darkness and can never coexist with humans! Your sorrow is the death of an orphan, your resentment is the resentment of an orphan! You cannot forget it, nor can you extinguish it!”

“Miss Laura, your existence is a sin!”
