Chapter 948: Mother of Darkness and Father of Dawn

Let him cry?
Faced with the sudden and strange request from the red-haired director, Director Ophiuchus wanted to ask in detail, but after Leon untied the rope that tied the security guard, his hand had already retracted into the mirror world.

Seeing that time was running out, Director Snake had to hurriedly follow the red-haired director's request, bit his finger, and then stretched out his palm, which was thinner than a needle tip, from the cone and probed into the security guard's blood vessel.

"Wow!!!"

As Director Snake's blood mixed into his veins, an inexplicable sadness suddenly surged into the security guard's heart, causing him to burst into tears uncontrollably.

But after hearing his cry, which did not sound like that of someone who had survived a disaster but rather one of complete despair, the "hand" that was originally planning to leave after saving the man couldn't help but pause for a moment, then reached out and grabbed the security guard's belt buckle and pulled him out of the dungeon through the mirror world.

"I...this is what I am?"

"why are you crying?"

After checking the security guard's heart, he found that it was filled with despair and pain, as if there was no hope for the future. Leon couldn't help but frowned and said:

"I spared you a flogging, but why do you act as if you have been punished?"

"me……"

"Don't worry."

Following the security guard's gaze, Leon saw Prince Vernon chatting and laughing with "himself", then he took the security guard and walked a few steps to the side, leaving the crowd of Prince Vernon and his guards.

"They can't see you now. They can only see the illusion I released. No one knows that I brought you out."

"Then you..."

"You don't need to care who I am."

Although he didn't find anything unusual after secretly reaching out his hand to touch the security guard's body, Leon was still not completely relieved. Instead, he stared at his soul state and asked with narrowed eyes:
"Just tell me why you suddenly started crying."

I... I don't know why, I just suddenly feel like crying...

Facing Leon's questioning, just as the security guard was about to answer, strands of crimson blood liquid had already gone up along his blood vessels, silently invading his brain, and several dark bloodshot veins appeared on the whites of his eyes, causing his gaze to slightly become fixed.

Soon after, more crimson blood spread out, occupying most of the security guard's organs, including the root of the tongue, sinuses, eardrum, and frontal lobe...

Several drops of crimson blood stretched out and spread out, rushing through his blood vessels at an extremely terrifying speed. In just less than one tenth of a second, they completely flowed through the security guard's body, weaving a dense blood network in his body.

"I... I'm worried that I'll be fired by the boarding tower security department for evading punishment..."

After being stuck for about a tenth of a second, the security guard pleaded in a low voice while stealing a glance at Leon’s expression:

"My Lord, you may not be familiar with the situation in our kingdom. The justice of the law cannot be violated, so... so please send me back and let me finish the flogging!"

"..."

"Please!"

After taking a peek at the dazed Leon, the security guard knelt down with a plop, leaned over and begged, "I really can't lose this job. I have a family to support. I... I have a sister who is in poor health and a brother who is in school. My whole family depends on my salary... Please! Please send me back! If they find out that I am evading punishment, they will definitely kick me out!"

My sister is in poor health, and my brother is still in school...

Upon hearing this, Leon could not help but remain silent for a moment, then he pulled the security guard up, stretched out his fingertips and gently scratched a few times on his chest and abdomen, using the power of [Pseudo-Illusion] to create more than a dozen bloody wounds, and then said to the security guard with wide eyes in a gentle voice:

"These scars on your body will last for about a month, and even if someone touches them, they will never be able to tell whether they are real or fake... Go back, you don't have to worry about being chased away now."

"Thank you! Thank you!"

After he touched his wound and found that he could actually wipe off the blood, the security guard nodded repeatedly in surprise and joy, then grabbed Leon's arm desperately and said with tears of gratitude:

"Mother without Light... No, no! Father of the Dawn Horn! The light cast by Father of the Dawn Horn will surely illuminate your way forward!"

Mother Without Light, Father of the Horn of Dawn...are these the "gods" that the Church of the Deep and the Church of the Luminous each believe in?

After looking at the security guard’s white hair, which was completely different from his own, Leon nodded slightly and imitated him and said:

"Then may the Mother of Darkness bless you... Let's go. When you get back to your home, reach out and touch your buttocks and take off the things hanging on it. Then others will be able to see you."

"thanks, thanks!"

After thanking Leon repeatedly incoherently, the security guard walked away with a sheep's tail on his butt and a grateful face.

And two red cones, so small that they were almost invisible to the naked eye, emerged silently from the blood vessels on the security guard's back while he kept pleading with Leon, floated away in the wind in the blind spot of Leon's vision, and finally landed on Prince Vernon's neck.

Hmm...what is that?
Suddenly feeling an itchy sensation on his neck, Prince Vernon reached out to rub it, but he felt nothing. So he had to put his arm down and looked at Prince Leon, who was smiling happily in front of him, with an embarrassed expression.

"In fact, the streets of Lily City are usually very clean, and most of the dust is kept outside the city. I don't know what happened today, but there was suddenly a bit of wind and sand... No!"

When he said this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and Prince Vernon's whites of his eyes were covered with bloodshot. He couldn't help but groan, and then said apologetically:

"Sir Lyon, I just remembered that my father is not in good health and is used to taking a nap in the afternoon. The door of the inner hall should be about to close by now. If we go there now, I'm afraid we will have to wait for several hours before we can see him."

"That's it..."

After quickly chasing forward a few steps and merging with the illusion that he had deliberately left behind to "chat", Leon looked at Prince Vernon who had suddenly changed his mind, and said calmly:

"Although my business is urgent, it doesn't cost a few hours... How about this, since I can't see His Majesty the King now, why don't you take me around Lily City?"

"Haha, I thought so too."

Facing Leon's proposal, Prince Vernon's eyes lit up slightly, then he looked at the black hair on Leon's head, and then said with a smile:

"It just so happens that the two churches in Lily City are preparing for their own ceremonies recently. How about I take you to visit the Deep Church?"
