Chapter 330: Chapter 261 Don’t Be a Hindrance_3
“………….”
Staring at the opened door, Ashley hesitated for a mont before deciding to step out.
The corridor was eerily silent, and not a single guard was in sight. Ashley nervously made her way to the end of the corridor and looked down, only to be left dumbfounded.
The church hall on the first floor was strewn with corpses, the villagers lay butchered, their flesh torn and bloodied. And there, a towering man held a can of gasoline, splashing it all over the floor… his deanor murderous, hinting at an intent to burn all evidence.
Wait, he is actually going to burn this place down!!
Breathing in the sharp sll of gasoline, Ashley shivered uncontrollably. She didn’t want to die here with these lunatics!
...
“Wait for , you giant!!”
Simultaneously screaming and rushing down the staircase, Ashley caught Duanmu Huai’s glance. Only after Ashley reached the entrance did he deliberately knock over the candlestick. Suddenly, flas roared, spreading rapidly throughout the church.
When Duanmu Huai and Ashley exited the church, it was already engulfed in flas, illuminating the surroundings brightly.
“Ugh…….”
At that mont, in the flickering glow of the fire, Ashley saw the mutilated corpses of the villagers Duanmu Huai had massacred. She instantly turned deathly pale and knelt down, vomiting frantically. After all, she’d never witnessed such a horrific and bloody scene before.
Only when Ashley had nothing left to vomit, did she find the strength to lift her head and see Duanmu Huai walking away.
“Hey, giant, where are you going?!”
At this mont, her primal survival instinct overshadowed her fear. Ashley hastily wiped her mouth and staggered to her feet, rushing to Duanmu Huai’s side. While she was clueless about his real identity, at least, for now, he didn’t seem like a threatening villain.
“I have my own affairs to attend to.”
Duanmu Huai looked at Ashley.
“You can stay here, soone might co to rescue you.”
Taking the ti into account, Leon should be on his way soon.
Stay here?
Ashley turned her head, looking at the surrounding graveyard, the dismbered corpses, and the howling wind blowing across, carrying with it the sll of charred remains… it sent another shiver down her spine.
“I don’t want to stay here. I want to go with you… You’re not with them, right?”
“Of course, I ca here to eradicate these evil heretics.”
“Uh…….”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, Ashley was left speechless. She never imagined that in this era, soone would act under the banner of “eradicating heretics”.
But regardless, this was indeed a chance, the chance for her to escape those killers!
“Can I … go with you?”
As she spoke, Ashley carefully watched Duanmu Huai, afraid of upsetting him. Hearing Ashley’s proposal, Duanmu Huai stared at her, remained silent for a mont, then finally spoke.
“Just don’t get in the way.”
Having said that, Duanmu Huai turned around and began to walk away, while Ashley, after hesitating for a bit, closely followed behind him.
At this point, for Ashley, this intimidating giant in front of her was her only lifeline.
