Chapter 46: "None"
As a coma professional, Elsie didn't feel much headache at this time, but his brain was in chaos, his eyes seemed to be still in the fog, his vision was white, and his surroundings were quiet.
"I was been... Did Doro kill him, and why was he still conscious. Elsie couldn't see anything, so she simply closed her eyes again, waiting for her consciousness to slowly wake up.
"Doro got into that situation first, and then he... It must have swung a sword in my direction, but before that I just took a step back, so the tip of the sword slashed my neck, so it's better to say... His sword would have cut off my head. Thinking of this, Elsie felt unusually calm, and little by little she recalled everything that had happened, as if she was recalling someone else's affairs.
"After that, I screamed, ran backwards, hit a tree, and was about to get up, unconscious. Elsie closed her eyes and opened her mouth to say softly, "So I died at that time." ”
"What do you say?" a female voice suddenly rang in Elsie's ears.
Elsie was still startled, she opened her eyes, but they were still white: "Who is it?"
"My name is Lanresa. If you are thirsty or not, I will help you up and drink some water. The female voice said, and before Elsie could reply, she felt her hands hold her up, and Elsie lay in the arms of a man.
"Am I dead?" asked Elsie.
"So your biggest fear is to die yourself, hehe. Lanressa's laughter rang out, and something moist touched Elsie's lips, and she took a sip and drank a little water.
"Don't worry, you didn't die, we saved you, oh... And your companions. Lanrissa helped her to lie down again.
"What's going on? why do I feel so weird?" Elsie asked, she couldn't see anything now, and
The most important thing is that she feels that her emotional calm is abnormal, and what is even more strange is that she can realize it.
"Sequelae, do you think your vision is vain, and there are no mood swings?" Lan Ruisha asked, but everything was quite consistent.
"Hmm. ”
"You must have met "nothing", it's really bad luck, I see that you are still children. Lan Ruisha sighed, then explained, "Nothing is the fog you see, it's... It's not a living thing, it's like a living being, it doesn't stop moving, sucking out the consciousness of all the life that comes into its range, or... Under normal circumstances, consciousness will gradually assimilate into emotionlessness in "nothingness", and eventually merge with "nothing", while the physical body will instinctively follow "nothing" and kill all conscious creatures until it falls forever. ”
"I see. Elsie's eyes were open, but blank.
She felt that Lan Ressa seemed to be pressed to her face for a while, and then heard her say: "Basically, being assimilated by "nothing" is the end of extinction, but you were lucky to meet us and were rescued, and we were ready to run away as soon as we realized "nothing", but when we saw your body walking in "nothing", we looked like you had just entered, and we took a big risk to bring back your consciousness. ”
"Thank you. Elsie thanked him calmly.
"You... Alas, forget it, what about your sequelae now, you should have been in Wuli for at least a day, and you have been assimilated a lot, and now your consciousness has just returned to your body, and there are some sequelae, such as the white in front of your eyes, and the lack of emotion, the eyes are estimated to be fine within a day of waking up, and the lack of emotion does not know how long it will take, but generally normal life will come back. Lan Ressa explained.
"Was my companion rescued too?"
"Hmm... There are more than a dozen, quite a lot, although you have different clothes, but you have the same badge, it should be from the same academy. Some of them woke up, some of them were still unconscious, but you were the only ones who woke up and talked to me, and the others were still in a daze, I think you should be the last to lose consciousness, it's amazing. Lan Resa said.
Elsie blinked, "Dozen?"
"yes, probably, I'll count them...... Well... Sixteen!" Lan Ruisha said excitedly, "Grandpa and I are just two people, and it took a lot of effort to get you out! Especially that black-haired boy, he is very powerful, he has no consciousness and only instinctive fighting, and we were almost killed by him." Lan Ruisha booed.
"Sixteen," Elsie muttered, and Lanrissa realized something, "Could it be... Didn't we save all of you?"
"Hmm—" Elsie didn't know what to say, she must be sad now, but she couldn't feel it.
"Alas, I'm sorry, we've done our best, don't blame us. Lan Ruisha's voice lowered, and her tone was a little lost.
"No, thank you. Elsie interrupted her, and Lanressa sniffed and plucked up her spirits: "You can rest first, and then call me when you feel that your eyes can see something." ”
"Hmm. ”
Elsie blinked again, but the vision was still white, as if it was still in the fog, and Lan Ruisha's voice sounded again not far away, as if someone had woken up again.
After some time, Elsie seemed to fall asleep again, and when she opened her eyes, she finally saw the sky with the shadows of the trees. She seemed to be still in the jungle, but in an improvised camp, surrounded by a clearing, with a campfire in the middle, and a bunch of people lying around.
She raised her head slightly, recognizing her faces one by one, Lily, Mousse, Doro, Angel, Andrew...... One by one, she already knew the four people who were missing, the three Chris who disappeared first and a girl named Mary, they are all very good people, they always volunteer when they encounter problems, they are very responsible, and they are very enthusiastic.
Elsie lowered her head, and a teardrop actually dripped down, she wiped her face, and found that she had burst into tears unconsciously, although there was no emotion, but the body still followed instinct?
In this way, her heart must be very painful right now.
"You're up!"
A cry of joy broke Elsie's thoughts, and a girl came running up from behind. She wore a cloak with many patchwork, her hair was braided back with many strands, her brown hair and brown eyes, and she looked sunny and enthusiastic.
Lan Ressa ran to Elsie, saw her stunned for a moment with tears on her face, and then noticed that Elsie was staring at her face, and quickly asked, "Can you see it?"
"Hmm. Elsie nodded.
"Are you hungry, I picked some berries to pad my stomach? Grandpa went hunting, but he hasn't come back yet, probably because he thinks that there are many of you, and he wants to make some big ones back, so that it will be enough to eat!" Lan Ruisha smiled and her eyebrows curled.
"No, I'd like to go see them first, okay? Elsie asked.
"Of course, if you want to see who, I'll help you. Lanressa put down the mass of packages in her hand and helped Elsie to her feet.
Elsie's leg was extremely painful, but she had been through so much that she was able to force herself to endure it, and looked at Lily first, Lily frowned, but it didn't seem to be a big deal, Mousse had already woken up, just staring in a daze, there were a few scratches on his body, but it was not in the way, Elsie called him a few times, Mousse did not answer.
Walking up to Doro, Elsie squatted down, Doro closed his eyes tightly, as if he was in great pain, his face was pale and full of cold sweat, and even tears fell from the corners of his eyes. Elsie grabbed his sleeve and wiped his face for him, asking, "What's wrong with him?"
"Uh..."Lan Ruisha paused: "To awaken your consciousness, you need a little stimulation, grandpa has cast a spell on you, which can make you see the most fearful things, in short, it is to wake up." Lan Ruisha glanced at Doro and smiled lightly: "He is such a young and promising person, and he doesn't know what he is afraid of being like this, it is reflected in reality." ”
Elsie was silent, just gently brushed away the broken hair on Doro's forehead and touched his forehead, she didn't know what someone like Doro would be afraid of, but she understood that what she was most afraid of was that Doro, who was like a protector, would swing his sword at her.
Lan Ruisha saw that she had stopped here for a long time, and asked half-jokingly, "Do you like him?" ”
Elsie shook her head and said, "He's my brother, and we grew up together. He protected me many times and we have a deep affection. ”
Lan Ruisha touched her head and stuck out her tongue: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I misunderstood, by the way, what's your name, why are you here?"
"I'm Elsie, and we're from St. Rinny's College, and we're here for a week-long out-of-house practice. ”
"I see, your academy is really good at picking places, if it weren't for me and grandpa, you would all be wiped out here. Lan Ruisha complained, seeing that Elsie didn't speak, she quickly explained: "I don't mean anything else, it's too dangerous for you to come!"
Elsie shook his head: "I'm not thinking about this, I'm thinking, the academy has made a lot of preparations for the practice outside the academy, including investigations, it should be very safe here, how can there be such an extremely dangerous existence as "nothing"?"
Lan Ruisha touched her chin and nodded: "Indeed, how could "Wu" wander in the Abraham Mountains in the eastern jungle of the Lost Valley, this is a hundred and eight thousand miles away. Is it natural?But I don't know how this thing came to be, oh it doesn't matter," Lan Ruisha shook her head irritably, "You can just escape, and when you get to Lonely City, tell me and let them deal with it." ”
"Lonely City?" Elsie hadn't heard of the name.
"That's right, the city deep in the forest in the eastern part of the Lost Valley, my grandfather and I are going to be there this time, you can go with us, it's beautiful, and there is a teleportation array, you can go there first and then go back to the academy. Lan Ruisha happily proposed.
