The Death List Novel - Chapter 756
Chapter 756 Ceremony
“Originally, I still needed to raise them for a while, but since these two little things have already detected them, then let’s hold the ceremony tonight!” Sir Wilson said expressionlessly.
“Hmph, don’t change the subject with these two cubs. What are you going to do with that little bitch Diana?” Keira Wilson looked at her husband with disgust.
“Hehe, darling, since you care so much about Diana’s existence, what do you think of letting her serve as a sacrifice for the ceremony?” A false smile appeared on Sir Wilson’s face.
“Oh? Are you willing?” Keira asked in surprise.
“Of course, always using those dirty slaves seems to be disrespectful to Master.” Sir Wilson smiled coldly with a hint of mockery in his eyes. ‘It’s just that Diana isn’t enough. I think we need a young white man. I think … the handsome coachman who came back from London with you is very good. Let me see, what’s the young man’s name? Jack, isn’t he?’
“You … you dare!” Hearing her husband’s words, Keira widened her small eyes, which had been squeezed into cracks by the fat meat, revealing a trace of shock and anger.
“As long as it’s a sacrifice to Master Father, why would I not dare? You shameless fat woman, haven’t you brought enough shame on the Wilson Family?” Sir Wilson grabbed his wife’s arm and roared, his fierce face almost pressing against her nose.
“You, you’re hurting me!” Keira’s fat body was like a deflated ball, and she shrank her neck in fear.
“It’s fine if you mess around London. If you bring your concubine into Wilson Manor next time, I’ll offer you as a sacrifice to Master.” The knight grinned. “Anyway, your father once said that sooner or later, all of us believers will have to serve by your father’s side. A little sooner or later doesn’t seem to make much of a difference!”
“I, I’ll change my clothes first, and then go to the ceremony!” Hearing her husband’s words, Keira’s pupils dilated, and a burst of brute force broke free from Sir Wilson’s palm and ran out of the living room with a sorrowful expression.
“Haha ~ ~ ~” Seeing his wife’s panicked back, Sir Wilson let out a nervous laugh. When the laughter stopped, he expressionlessly turned around and lowered his head to look at the Harry siblings who were hugging each other.
“Hey, in your eyes, Keira and I are both Abyss Devils, aren’t we?” ‘”Of course, I shouldn’t blame you,” Sir Wilson said, as if he were muttering to himself. “Perhaps what you see is the truth. Many years ago, when I made an agreement with Keira’s father, I was already a demon in human skin!”
“At that time, not long after I retired from the army, I came to this new continent known as the Gold Land with just a little bit of savings. I contracted railway projects, ran a small newspaper, and even worked as a mine supervisor … But it turned out that I was not the right person to do business, and all my efforts to revive the family failed …”
Thomas Wilson smiled and cried, “I thought of dying, but at this moment, an old businessman came to me. He wanted me to marry his less beautiful only daughter, he needed the Wilson family’s dignity, and I could inherit all his inheritance after he died.”
“I thought, ‘Why not? Keira is not beautiful, but it doesn’t matter to me. I just want to revive the family and my marriage is not important. But there are other questions that the old businessman has. He asks me if I dare to kill and if I’m willing to sell my soul to the devil for the sake of wealth and glory.”
Sir Wilson suddenly revealed a strange expression of regret. “I said that killing people was nothing. When I was in the army, I sold my soul to the country and killed many people on the battlefield. Now, even if I sold it to the Abyss Devils, it would only be a change of master.”
“The old man got my answer and only said one thing. He said he wanted me to remember what I said and never hate him again. Then he asked me to put a picture of myself in an iron box filled with mud from the cemetery and bury it at a crossroads. After I did so, he said that I had received Master’s attention.
Before he dies, I don’t have to worry. He does all the evil things. But when he dies, I have to honor him every three years. The ritual requires at least a couple of boys and girls to be killed. The more people die, the more fortunate I will be in the next three years. Otherwise, everything I have will leave me until I die on the streets. ”
Sir Wilson said, seemingly lost in a distant memory, and fell silent.
“What happened afterwards?” Suddenly, a childish voice broke the calm. Harry lowered his head and saw that it was Elaine who asked. He quickly covered his sister’s mouth.
‘”Later …” Later, the old man was killed by a rebellious nigger, and he didn’t even have time to explain his future affairs. This change also made me forget what he had warned me about, causing me to not hold a ceremony to honor my master for six years. ”
Sir Wilson glanced at Elaine and smiled bitterly. “The first three years weren’t serious. It was just that a lot of the properties that I inherited from the old man had encountered accidents. Keira and I were in an economic crisis.
However, this kind of warm water boiling frog model has not awakened us. So the next three years, Harry and Elaine, Keira’s children and I, died of illness. It wasn’t until then that we remembered what the old man said back then. So it wasn’t a joke … ”
Sir Wilson lowered his head slowly and said in a low voice, “In the seventh year, we … filled in the ceremony. The effect was obvious, the bankrupt plantation was about to reap a good harvest, and we closed the financial hole.”
“But … the deaths of Harry and Elaine hit us too hard! Keira and I broke up our originally harmonious marriage. We blamed each other and immersed ourselves in the grief of losing our son. I started looking for a mistress, and she used money to seduce a handsome young man …”
“You deserve it. You will definitely go to hell in the future!”
Sir Wilson looked at Elaine with a face full of righteous indignation. This adopted baby girl made him feel mature beyond his age for the first time.
“That’s right, Keira and I deserve it. However, you and your brother will probably go to hell before us!” The man expressionlessly stretched out his hands, and a powerful hand grabbed the necks of the two of them.
“Damn it!” As Harry’s consciousness slowly faded, Kieran’s vision gradually blurred, causing him to feel extremely irritated. However, there was another force that forcefully suppressed his emotions, preventing him from erupting, lest he withdraw from Harry’s consciousness and be unable to participate in the plot again.
…
After waiting like crazy, Harry finally woke up from his coma. Qin Lun’s vision gradually became clear again.
He found that Harry’s body was not harmed. He was only tied to a wooden stake. His sister Elaine was on another wooden stake beside the boy. They were no longer in the living room of the manor. From the looks of it, the surroundings seemed to be the rooftop of the manor.
Although it was still late at night, Qin Lun noticed that the surroundings were very bright, as if there was even a slight abnormality in the temperature.
Harry quickly regained his senses and began to survey his surroundings. Beneath him and Elaine was a huge hexagram formation. The strange paint carried a strong smell of blood. It seemed to be painted with some kind of blood. It was just that they didn’t know if it was a livestock or a human.
A large group of people were currently standing around the Hexagram Array with torches in their hands. Qin Lun didn’t know them, but judging from the firearms and axe blades these people were holding, they should be the Manor Supervisors Thomas Wilson had mentioned.
For plantations like Wilson Manor, where slaves were abundant, the supervisory team was indispensable. The slave rampage of this era was no joke. If a single measure was inappropriate, the entire manor could be compensated.
In the crowd, Qin Lun noticed the gloomy and unbearable Housekeeper Parker. Perhaps this old man was not involved in the Wilsons’ evil deeds. However, he did not have the ability to resist. He could only endure the condemnation of his conscience and choose to turn a blind eye.
Other than Housekeeper Parker, none of the other servants of the manor showed up. Qin Lun guessed that none of the ordinary servants, including Tony, knew about this evil ceremony.
Otherwise, Old Parker wouldn’t be the only one here. Perhaps those servants had been drugged, or they were temporarily placed under house arrest, and they were in their respective rooms at a loss as to what had happened on the rooftop.
Slave rampage was a good excuse. No matter how many people died tonight, even if the Harry siblings had temporarily “disappeared” for a period of time, and even if the servants had guessed the truth, they would still be unable to prove what had happened that night in front of outsiders.
“Brother, what do you think?” Elaine seemed to have woken up as well, looking behind Harry.
The boy struggled to turn his head and discovered that there were a few wooden stakes behind him. Several of them were bundled with bloody black slaves, men and women. There were also two wooden stakes binding Susan and another handsome young man, probably Jack, the unlucky coachman Sir Wilson spoke of.
“Uncle Kanda, Uncle Hobby … I’m sorry!” Harry looked at the several black slaves covered in blood and finally let out a cry.
Hearing Harry’s voice, one of the robust black men slowly opened his eyes and laughed loudly while spitting out blood, “Haha, Little Harry, cough, cough, you’ve also been captured. I thought you betrayed us …”
“There’s no need to apologize, kid. Our slaves are different from you two white kids. You can still survive after escaping the manor, and sooner or later we’ll be captured and hanged again. My only regret is that we didn’t kill a few more white people before we died …”
It looks like they’re going to burn us alive. That’s fine. I hope they can return to our hometown after they die … “Big Black’s eyes were a little blurry.” How many years have I forgotten what that grassland in my hometown looks like? ”
“Here, what kind of place is this? Why am I here?” A female slave beside the big black man suddenly woke up and began to scream in panic.
Hearing her voice, Susan groaned and opened her eyes. “Dana, is that you? Dana, it’s Susan. I’m Susan!” She cried out in surprise.
