A World Where You All Are The Villains - Chapter 60.1
In an instant, the woman’s face was revealed.
“……!”
I held my breath for a moment and examined her carefully from head to toe.
Brown hair, deep green eyes.
She definitely had features similar to Llewellyn, but…
“Tsk, not her.”
Suddenly, Serge clicked his tongue.
Just as he said, she only looked somewhat similar at a glance. The woman was not Llewellyn.
‘Ah.’
An indescribable feeling welled up inside me, whether it was relief or disappointment, I couldn’t tell.
“Ah…!”
Startled now that her face was exposed, the woman hurried to pull her hood back on.
But for some reason, no matter how much she tugged, the hood wouldn’t move at all.
When I glanced sideways, I saw Male Lead #4 tilting his head slightly, as if something displeased him.
It seemed he had used his ability to keep her from pulling the hood back up.
“Waaaa! It’s the Purifier!”
“Purifier! Purifier!”
At the sudden reveal of the Purifier’s face, the believers shouted in excitement.
‘Something’s strange.’
The Purifier’s concealed face had been forcibly exposed by an invisible force.
But aside from the woman herself, none of the church officials standing on the platform looked surprised.
The reason was revealed soon enough.
“Behold! The new power Brother Anderson has gained! The miracle of Sephirot!”
The speaker shouted at the top of his lungs, veins bulging.
“It is clearly telekinesis! Brother Anderson has overcome impossible odds and has been reborn as an Awakener…!”
“Whoooaaa!”
At those words, the believers erupted in fervor.
“Ahh, Sephirot!”
“This is a miracle! Praise, praise! Praise Sephirot!”
“Congratulations, Brother Raymond!”
“Purifier! Over here, over here! Please give our child a chance too, Lady Purifier!”
Shouts of joy, exclamations, and sobbing burst out from all directions.
Seeing not just one or two, but dozens of people acting like that, a chill ran down my spine.
‘Are they insane?’
Even for a cult, this was too much.
If the hood came off on its own without a single breeze, the normal reaction would be to suspect someone used an ability, not believe that the Corrupted who had just been convulsing had awakened…
But the speaker, Baron Gavent, and even the woman impersonating the Purifier.
“Give thanks for Sephirot’s grace, Brother Anderson!”
“Congratulations, Brother Raymond. You’ve suffered so much until now!”
Every single one of them was congratulating the Baron’s son with hopeful expressions, without the slightest doubt.
People consumed by madness.
A grotesque scene.
My head was spinning.
The Baron scrambled up onto the platform and tightly embraced his rotting, decayed son.
“Hiic, Anderson! I’m proud of you! By Sephirot’s grace, you’re an Awakener now!”
“Father…”
“Yes, it’s me! You’ve suffered so much, my son! Now go ahead and use your power to your heart’s content!”
“My body, my body feels strange… the smell… it smells good…”
Couldn’t he see the pale face as his son muttered weakly?
Baron Gavent kept urging him to use his ability again and again.
Just then, as if Serge had withdrawn his telekinesis, the woman who had been struggling with her robe quickly pulled her hood back on.
And then.
“K, Kraaah!”
A horrifying scream suddenly rang out.
I quickly turned my gaze away from the woman, and what I saw was none other than.
The son biting into his father’s neck.
“Kyaaaaah!”
“M, my God! B, Brother Anderson is, Brother Raymond is…!”
The cheers and exclamations instantly turned into screams and shock.
“Ghh, ghh! Kugh!”
“Grrr! Keeeeek!”
Riiip! Crunch, crunch!
As if the moment of regained sanity had been an illusion, the Corrupted chewed and swallowed the flesh he had torn off, shrieking wildly.
The large men rushed forward to restrain him, and the woman impersonating the Purifier hurriedly fled to the left.
“E-Everyone, please remain seated! It’s only a minor mistake, nothing serious!”
The speaker hurriedly tried to calm the panicking crowd.
At that, the large men who had been standing along the edges moved and forcibly pushed the confused people back into their seats.
“Time to bounce.”
At that moment, Serge lightly tapped my shoulder.
I turned to him with startled eyes, then quickly looked around.
Even if we tried to leave right now, there were guards standing by the door…
“C-Can we really just leave like this?”
“Then what else are you planning to do here? What, do you want a new ability too while you’re at it, Ducal Lady?”
He wrinkled his nose and gave a teasing smile.
Even in this situation, his flippant attitude made my brow furrow.
“That’s not what I mean…!”
Didn’t we just witness it together?
The Corrupted briefly regaining his sanity after being forced to drink that unknown liquid!
“I’m asking if it’s okay to just leave this alone.”
“Leave what?”
“She’s impersonating the Purifier. And we need to find out what that liquid was that they gave the Corrupted… mmmph!”
That was when.
Suddenly, he reached out his large hand and clamped it over both my mouth and nose.
