Chapter 10: Cursed Possession
It has been said that when night comes, you don't know when it comes, but it must have left a legacy of brilliance when it left.
In a hut, we saw Alice sit up from the bed, Anne said, I want to help her become a normal girl, Alice was surprised, looked at me blankly, suddenly she shook her head and said to us, "I can't do this, since I have borne such a fate, let it have a beginning and an end!" After speaking, he lowered his head gloomily.
I walked up to Alice, crouched down, raised my head and said to her, "Since God has given you such a fate, do I have a choice?" Since I was a child, I have been able to do nothing but murder, and now I am also being hunted down, since God has arranged for us to meet, since we all have to face future death, so that one can live, then my death is worthwhile, I beg you, let me remove the sins of my body, and use my body to atone for my sins, please live with another life and way of life on my behalf, promise me! ”
I took off Alice's gloves and reached out to hold her white and delicate hand, staring at her deeply, but Alice tried to break free but couldn't.
In the face of the shroud of death, fear is normal, how many people want to die without dying?
Anne stroked my head and said, "Child, every time death comes to take life, it's at midnight, so let's wait for that moment to come." ”
Our eyes were focused on the wall clock on the right wall, which showed that it was 10:20 p.m., and there were less than two hours left
A voice in the darkness asked, "How is it, how many have been found by the hidden agents nearby?" ”
A deep voice replied, "There are only three, but their targets are all concentrated in the town, and there is no suspicion of the church, and the noise of the car is too loud, so let's go on foot." ”
The voice that spoke first went on to ask, "Isn't it the FBI's deliberate posturing?" Is there any movement on the church side? ”
The deep voice replied, "It doesn't look like it, it stands to reason that the church must have been searched many times, and if there is no suspicious one, it will be let go, and the church is business as usual." ”
The man who had been in the dark nodded, "Okay, in an hour and a half, split up, gather at the cemetery in the back mountain, sneak into the church to kill the target, and prepare a dry cloth bag for the head." ”
A deep voice replied, "Yes." ”
The clock struck zero o'clock, and in the dim light of this small room, I held Alice's cold hand tightly, and sat with her for that moment, and Anne sat on the chair against the wall on her left, and Alice spent every full moon night under the kind and encouraging gaze of Anne.
The cursed person has no right to commit suicide, so Alice has no success in committing suicide every time, and can only wait for death to harvest life every time the moon is full.
At this time, Alice's whole body glowed with red light, as if burning with red flames, her whole body spasmed, she couldn't help shaking, her eye sockets were deep, and she was in pain, because I quickly felt empathy when I touched her body, and blue light came out of her whole body, like a blue flame, and every inch of her body was scorched, like hellfire, burning every inch of skin, a feeling of tearing her heart and lungs, and her whole body was torn into thousands of pieces.
There was an inexplicable energy that plunged the entire church into darkness and left no lights.
Alice's hands and I were still holding tightly, the blue flames and the red flames alternately interchanged, fused together, I forgot the pain in my body, I found that I entered a pitch-black space, an Alice-like almost transparent pink object was not far ahead, I approached, only to see that the thing like Alice's soul floated motionless in the dark space.
I shouted to Alice, who seemed to be asleep, "What's wrong with you, wake up!" ”
I only heard a cold and pleasant voice in my head: "A new life, what are you doing here?" ”
I was startled by the sudden voice, and then reacted, hesitating, "Are you the Grim Reaper?" I have come here to accept the curse that has been placed on Alice. ”
The voice sounded again without any emotion: "I can be the god of death in your mouth, but to be precise, I signed a contract with this person's ancestors a long time ago, we traded power and life with each other, I am responsible for receiving the life including him and his descendants, and he will accept all my abilities, and the life of their family is my slave for the rest of their lives, this is the last person in their family, and the transaction will be over when she dies." ”
I said to the sky, "I am willing to be your slave, please let her go, I am willing to take the curse left by the previous generation, and ask you to promise me." ”
The voice continued to say coldly: "Your life energy is obviously more than hers, your life is the energy we rely on to survive, I can't seem to refuse such a good proposal, but after the curse is transferred, every time I have a full moon, I will come to collect your life span for one year, and you will not get any benefits from me, this is not a transaction, it is the rest of the curse, are you willing to bear it?" ”
Without hesitation, I said, "I do!" ”
The voice wondered, "It's the first time I've encountered something like this in thousands of years, it's really funny to be human, okay, you belong to me." ”
I felt like my body was being squeezed, almost suffocating, and then my heart felt cold, as if something had been taken away, and I reluctantly asked, "How much time does Alice have left to live?" ”
A cold and somewhat ambiguous smile: "You can't say this kind of thing, leave it to your own guess, haha." ”
Consciousness returned to the body, the whole body was paralyzed, all cold sweat, I fell on the bed, my hand was still holding Alice's hand tightly, I saw that her whole body was not abnormal, as if in sleep.
Anne approached and asked, "Did you succeed?" ”
I nodded, wiped the sweat from my forehead, and Anne looked at me and said, "I'm sorry for you, child, if not" said this, her voice was a little choked, and tears flowed from her eyes.
I didn't care and said, "It's okay, I'm a killer who won't live long anyway"
Just about to continue, at this time a man in black broke into the door, I felt that something was wrong, a push away Anne, straightened up and went up, the man was holding two short knives, the blade was very sharp, I really didn't expect that there was such a primitive killing tool in today's era, I didn't have time to think about it, I saw his right hand swinging a knife from the left side of the abdomen.
Because I was moving forward, I had no time to change the inertia, my body was slightly skewed, and the knife in my right hand had been inserted into the ribs, and at the same time, I saw that the knife in his left hand had come to his neck, and he was slashed, and his head could say goodbye to his body.
As soon as I raised my right hand, I sealed his left wrist with my palm, clasped it with my backhand, and held it tightly, just when my hand touched him, his sharp eyes suddenly became dull, his pupils contracted, and his whole body twitched, and then a trace of white gas came out of the pores, fused in mid-air, forming an oval spherical object, and the thing came to my body and attached it.
Then something more strange happened, his body seemed to have lost his life, he fell on his back, I didn't expect the sudden miracle to resolve the crisis, I pulled out the knife inserted in the rib with my right hand, and the wound also came out of the trace of white gas and actually healed, no need to ask if it must have something to do with the curse, because of the blessing of misfortune.
A force entered my body and replenished a certain amount of my physical energy.
At present, the form is in my favor, maybe the other party still has manpower, otherwise I can't break into the door like this, I feel confident with a knife in my hand, and I turned back to Anne and explained: "Stay here with Alice and don't go out." ”
I leaned against the corner, not daring to be careless, and waited for a while, but found that there was no movement, guessing that it was because of the death of my companion, who did not know the situation, and did not dare to come rashly, there was a window in the left wall of the hut, and I moved it lightly, and quietly came out of the window.
My current position is on the right side of the whole church house, that is, to the west, I go around to the front door of the church, and through the glass on the door, I can see that there are three dark shadows lurking on the left and right of the church near the cross, and they are facing Alice's hut, and from the gesture, there are two people with guns, and one of them has a lock-like tool linked to a lock.
I only heard a deep voice whispering, "What's the matter, how did Ricky go in and fall?" ”
A serious voice said: "Before I came, I said don't be careless, just see that the 'leopard' didn't kill him, he must have a special ability, you cover me, I will pass." ”
Is "Leopard" Eretta's code name?
When I heard that they were coming, I quickly knocked on the glass with my knife and crawled to the back of the church.
Tonight will be a fierce battle to protect Anne and Alice.
