The crowd that slowly gathered towards Calvin and the others was still alive, but they acted like dead people. The staggering, wobbly bodies render the entire area ghostly, almost like the set of a horror movie. The stench I had smelled in the garage before was blood, rotting wounds, body fluids oozing from all over the body, stains from all kinds of food that had deteriorated...... The choking flavor from the mixture and fermentation has become stronger and stronger.

Most of them could only walk on their feet (Calvin noticed that many of them were injured to varying degrees), and their footsteps sounded more like the sounds of insects.

Rustle, rustle......

"That brother of yours is disgusting. ”

Han slowly pulled out a long dagger from his waist and held it in his right hand, while the gun in his left hand had already opened the safety bolt. In the same way, Joyce, like his partner, took his weapon.

Calvin calmly looks around you, and then is not surprised that he has been completely surrounded by the group of people manipulated by Joshua.

I should have known that sooner or later I would pay the price for my stupidity—

Calvin heard a voice in his heart muttering softly.

But I didn't expect the price to be so severe.

He replied in the same voice.

Calvin then realized that he was talking to himself in his own brain, and if it weren't for the apocalyptic scenario they were currently facing, Isaac would have been nervous again and urged him to see a doctor.

At this thought, that absurd, completely disconnected feeling of soul from reality hit Calvin again.

"Calvin. ”

As if vaguely sensing something, Isaac stepped forward without a trace and stood in front of Calvin.

"Don't be afraid. ”

He said.

Calvin looked at Isaac's back, and suddenly bit his lip hard, forcing himself to return to reality because of the pain. Now is not the time for weakness and evasion.

Calvin stepped forward and stood beside Isaac as he drew the dagger that had been strapped to his waist - a long dagger with a blood channel would be very useful against such a madman who had completely lost his normal mind, and they could drain a person's blood in the shortest possible time, and make the other person completely incapacitated.

"Looks like we're going to have a tough battle ahead—"

Calvin said calmly.

Isaac tilted his head to look at his brother in some surprise, and after a moment's pause, he smiled softly.

He finally realized that Calvin had grown up a long time ago, and he could have left the fighting position on his side to him.

"You've grown up—"

"We have to find a way to stall for time so that Red Deer is ready. ”

Calvin spoke almost at the same time as Isaac.

Isaac was full of emotion and disappeared without a trace in an instant when he heard the name of the red deer.

Calvin blinked, forcing himself to ignore the momentary embarrassment.

He didn't follow. Calvin subconsciously explained, in a very soft voice, and then he glanced back at the path where the four had come.

"No one can stop him, the only reason he's not here is because he has his own reasons why he hasn't kept up with us. ”

"That's enough, you don't have to explain. ”

Isaac said dryly, and when Calvin looked at him again, Officer Holden was already staring intently ahead, as if the intimate conversation between the brothers that had been a few moments earlier.

"Take it easy, guys. They're just a bunch of □□ maniacs......"

Han said on the side.

Under the unusually vigilant gaze of the four, the puppets of □□ control were getting closer and closer. And at this moment, almost everyone noticed one thing - in front of those zombie-like madmen, there was a "person" who was not in place with the others.

The visitor had a handsome face, a tall physique, and beautiful muscles that he could tell at a glance that had taken a considerable amount of money to exercise.

Of course, the most striking thing is that the man also had slightly curly brown hair and turquoise eyes—although those eyes were now as dull as polished glass beads, anyone could tell that he had been a pretty man before he lost his mind.

"Oh my God, isn't that guy ......"

Han glanced at the man, and his face suddenly changed.

Joyce frowned and muttered a name.

He knew Han's preferences well.

With his help, Calvin suddenly remembered the true identity of the beautiful man, who was a fairly famous male star, who should not have appeared on the streets of such a small town - unless it was someone who, in order to achieve some kind of rotten, disgusting ** of his own, controlled the too unlucky male star in advance and deprived him of his soul.

It was a ridiculous idea, but Calvin's instincts told him that the speculation was probably the truth.

The corners of Calvin's mouth pursed tightly, and the intense feeling of nausea almost drove him crazy.

He was even a little disgusted with the subtle connection between himself and Joshua, because if that were the case, at least he wouldn't have to feel Joshua's presence so clearly—yes, it was Joshua who was in the body of that incredibly beautiful man, and the soul that controlled that man's body.

Joshua chose a body that was seven points similar to the red deer, and he did it on purpose.

In Joshua's view, the appearance of the red deer undoubtedly represented Calvin's aesthetic and appreciation for other men. He almost instinctively attempted to use a male body that was closer to that of Red Deer.

Joshua's covert way of currying favor angered Calvin without any doubt, and he didn't care, and was a little triumphant.

"Brother Calvin, I'm here to take you home. ”

At a distance of about ten meters from Calvin and the others, the zombie-like crowd suddenly stopped in unison.

But the man Joshua manipulated didn't mean to stop, he tilted his head, his clean, untouched face becoming more and more conspicuous as he approached (especially against the gray-faced, foul-smelling crowd around him). He even wore a neat suit, but it didn't fit at all, and the buttons and ties were badly fastened. The man stared at Calvin, his facial muscles spasming and smiling eerily.

In this way, he came to Calvin, and when he was still a dozen meters away from Calvin, Calvin suddenly drew his gun and fired a series of bullets in front of his toes.

But this fierce display of disgust did nothing to normalize "Joshua."

"Oh, Brother Calvin......"

Joshua stared nervously at Calvin, and after seeing Calvin's pair of snow-white wings, his mental state was visibly excited.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee, you're waiting for me. ”

He said excitedly, probably because of the remote invasion of other people's bodies, his movements were more or less uncoordinated, and a line of saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth as he spoke.

"It's good, it's good, I'm so happy. ”

With that strange shrill voice, he opened his arms toward Calvin.

"I'm here to take you home, Brother Calvin...... Home for both of us...... You'll be happy, there are no more annoying people there, I know I did something wrong with my previous life, and I actually hate them too...... Look, they're dead now, we don't have to worry anymore, and from now on, our home will be just you and me...... Home, we've got a home......"

"Hmm......"

Calvin's vision suddenly became a little blurry.

He snorted involuntarily as he clearly felt Joshua's spiritual power pierce into his mind once more.

It wasn't the first time Joshua had done this, but Calvin swore he would never really fit in—Joshua's mental power was viscous, cold, and twisted, like the fingers of a dead man who had rotted and been frozen in the freezer for a long time.

His emotions and memories were stirred up uncontrollably.

Calvin was able to press Joyce and his plan hard into the areas that had not yet been invaded by Joshua—

No!

He won't allow it.

At the slightest hope, Calvin would not allow the plan to destroy the Adventists and kill Joshua to be disrupted.

What's more, he's had enough.

"Get out of my brain!"

In reality, Isaac and the others suddenly turned around and saw Calvin fall to the ground like that—and then grabbed his head and twitched.

Joshua stole your power......

[Your wings have become a conduit for that special ability, drawing your power into his body......]

……

In the basement, Joyce and Han's analysis of Joshua, and the research reports they had managed to get their hands on, slid through Calvin's eyes like fast-forward videotapes.

That's his power.

In the confusion, Calvin grabbed the thread between him and Joshua.

The silk thread is a continuous stream of untouchable two people in a world that cannot be understood by human beings.

Strength.

Light and power born from Calvin's body.

The power was so familiar, so familiar, as if it were his own blood, his own body temperature, his own breath......

For the first time in his life, Calvin unleashed his spirit without any scruples and threw himself into the surging power of the vast sea.

Those forces rejoiced at His acceptance, surging and churning violently.

In this instant, time is stretched.

Calvin saw countless images and heard countless voices.

He felt as if he had suddenly exploded—his spirit and soul had been blasted into countless tiny shards, piercing deep into the bodies of the other individuals.

It turns out that the human soul is so weak and easy to fiddle with.

Calvin thought coldly.
