Chapter 248 Cause of Death
"Tell me again, what happened to my brother Godzilla?"
Vivian bent down and helped up the servant who had fallen to the ground, her tightly furrowed brows forming shallow wrinkles.
"Your Majesty, Lord Gesila committed suicide in the confinement room!" the servant repeated again.
The family members who had not heard clearly what the servant said just now now had different expressions on their faces, and they all turned their eyes to Goda and Griffin - the two people closest to Godzilla.
Gotha rushed forward and grabbed the servant by the collar.
"What the hell are you talking about! How could my father commit suicide!"
"Gotha... Master, I don't know either. You... you guys should go and have a look!"
"Gotha, father, let's go take a look first."
Seeing Gotha's impulsive look, Vivian gently patted Gotha's hand that was holding the servant's collar, and said to Griffin.
The incident happened so suddenly that the crowd was already discussing it.
Most of the family members standing here are not Griffin's descendants, but they were still shocked by the death of Godzilla, the son of Griffin.
Everyone has more or less heard that Godzilla has a rebellious son, and the reason he was put in solitary confinement was because this son ran away from home.
But in fact, many people know the details.
It is said that after Gotha ran away from home, Godzilla led the family's magic group to chase Gotha, but was later attacked by a group of monsters, resulting in the deaths of more than a dozen magicians and more than twenty great magicians in the magic group.
This reckless behavior is the real reason why Godzilla was put in solitary confinement.
However, this matter was later suppressed by Griffin, and the only people who knew that the magic group had suffered a severe blow were some surviving magicians and a few core members of the family.
But no matter what, Godzilla was the leader of the family magic group at the time. Although he led the team and left his post, this was not intentional.
The clan put their own son into solitary confinement, which was considered a severe punishment, so those who knew about it did not spread the matter widely. After all, if other people knew about it, it might cause the patriarch's anger.
At this moment, this matter was brought up again because of Godzilla's suicide in the confinement room.
The gossip filling my ears is getting louder and louder.
"That's enough! Today's meeting is disbanded, everyone go back!"
Griffin roared, the old patriarch's power still remaining, his angry eyes swept across the entire field, and immediately the voices in the field were suppressed.
At this point, everyone dispersed, but some people walked very slowly, as if they wanted to follow to the confinement room to see what was going on.
Griffin snorted coldly, glanced at Godard, and then turned to Vivian.
"Vivian, you go back first and leave the housework to your father," Griffin said.
"How can I do this? Now that I know about such a serious matter as my brother's suicide, I must stay. How could my brother, such a strong person, commit suicide?" Vivian said.
Suddenly, Vivian seemed to notice something and looked to the side. She found someone was staring at her.
It was the man named Lin Feng.
"Let's go take a look first." Vivian retracted her gaze and walked out the door first, regardless of her father Griffin's objection.
"Let's go." Griffin patted Goda's arm and walked quickly towards the confinement room.
At that moment, Gotatu and others rushed out of the door together. The building courtyard that was crowded with people just now was now empty.
"Brother Feng, I can't entertain you for the time being." Goda found it hard to accept this. He clenched his fists and wanted to leave but hesitated.
"Go, don't worry about us. If you need anything, feel free to contact me using the team badge." Lin Feng patted Goda's shoulder.
He knew that Gotha was in a state of confusion at the moment. Although Gotha always said that he and his father did not have a very good relationship, his father's death, and suicide at that, would inevitably cause great trauma to Gotha.
Soon, Gotha left too.
"There's something wrong with Vivian." At this moment, Gunara on the side suddenly said.
"Oh? What's the problem?" Lin Feng looked at Gunara in surprise. He didn't expect that this woman was so sensitive.
"Intuitively, it seems like her reaction to Godzilla's suicide wasn't very big." Gunara couldn't explain it.
"After all, she has been married to Emperor Fury for a long time. It's normal that she has little affection for her family. She is used to seeing life and death, so the death of a younger brother is nothing?" Lin Feng said.
"Maybe."
"But your instinct was right this time."
"Ok?"
"Because, Godzilla didn't commit suicide, she killed him."
"Ah? Where are you going?"
"I'll go with you and take a look. You go back to Ace and the others. I'll come find you guys later."
After saying that, Lin Feng drew a space vortex and disappeared into it.
Only Gunara was left standing there confused.
……
The confinement room is located below the central palace of the tribe and is suppressed by a crouching tiger statue over 20 meters long. The tiger's mouth is the door to the confinement room.
The place where the confinement room is located is also called Tiger Prison, where the prisoners are basically the tribesmen who have committed crimes or made mistakes.
Each cell is independent of each other, with only one iron window that is just large enough to allow the view to interact with the corridor.
At this moment, dense footsteps sounded in the corridor, alarming many family prisoners imprisoned there. Everyone looked outside at the same time. It had been a long time since it was so lively here.
In the innermost confinement room of Tiger Prison, the metal cell door engraved with a magic circle was open.
A dead body was lying on the bed, with a knife stuck in the chest, tightly grasped by the dead man's hands.
The blood had dried and turned brown, and it was obvious that the person had been dead for quite some time.
"When was it discovered?" Gotatu asked the servant who first discovered the body.
"As soon as I found out that Lord Godzilla was dead, I came to pass on the message," the servant said shakily.
"It's been dead for at least a day! Didn't you notice it when you came here to clean yesterday?"
"No, Master Chief, when I came here yesterday, Master Godzilla was still fine! He couldn't have been dead for more than a day!"
The servants were terrified by the patriarch's scrutinizing gaze.
"Father, if you want to find out how my brother died, use Shadow Trace to recreate it."
Vivian, who followed him, stood at the door of the confinement room and said to Godatu, whose eyes were red, "Brother, go and invite the priests of the tribe. We must find out why my brother committed suicide and how he died."
Gotatu nodded, activated a message scroll, and waited for the priest who could reappear to come.
After a while, a priest with animal feathers on his head came to the confinement room.
Everyone made way.
"The shadow can only reappear one day ago at most. I can't do anything longer than that." The priest was the first to greet.
"Affection."
Griffin also has great respect for the priests.
At this time, Lin Feng had quietly walked out of the space vortex, and the priest began to cast magic.
Rays of light appeared in the priest's magic light curtain, and the scenes of time going back appeared before everyone one by one.
Until a middle-aged man with disheveled hair, lifeless eyes, knelt on the bed, muttering to himself.
"I can't sleep day and night. I feel guilty towards my dead brothers and sisters in the magic group. Because of an unfilial son, more than 30 lives of my people were sacrificed. I am willing to use my own death to atone for my sins!"
As he spoke, Godzilla in the light and shadow raised the knife in his hand and stabbed it into his own heart.
The shadow reconstruction ended, and the time stopped exactly one day ago.
