Suddenly, I don't know where the night birds are singing, like water birds and like night owls, the voice is high-pitched, one long and one short one after another, and people feel as if there is a cat's claw scratching their hearts, and it is unspeakably uncomfortable. I looked around, and the banks of the river were covered with papyrus, high enough for no one, and the night was dark, like a black obstacle that could not be crossed.

It seems that I have seen such a picture in a nightmare. It was dark on all sides, and it was in a daze, making it difficult to discern the direction.

People often do this, and there is a mysterious and inexplicable feeling. I haven't experienced everything in front of me, but I feel like I've seen such a scene at a certain time and place, and the shadow of the past and the current glance seem to coincide.

In that trance-like feeling of déjà vu, the next thing that seemed to happen seemed to happen......

My heart suddenly tightened, and I turned to look over to the shore where Memphis stood.

As if agreed, the moment I turned my head, Carol suddenly moved.

It's like a movie that plays back slowly, like an old drama that was once staged.

I saw her knife falling, and I saw Memphis stabbed and bloody.

Silent, silent.

Even the river seemed to stop flowing, and everything stood still at this moment.

Memphis slowly fell to the ground, and when Carol drew his knife to stab again, Unas finally came to his senses and rushed up to knock her down, snatching the dagger from her hand.

I fell to my knees on the plank, a soft gurgling sound in my throat, but I couldn't scream.

The moment of silence had passed, and a sea of voices rushed towards me, like a cacophony of human voices, many people talking, arguing, cursing, as if someone were screaming, terrible, like a ghost crying like a wolf, no, more terrible than those sounds. There were countless other voices, weights and shadows, and when the head was smashed, as if it was predestined, I felt as if I had foreseen this scene to happen, and the scene in front of me seemed to be in the past, and it seemed to be in the distant future, that it should not happen in the present.

"Ethis!"

Who's shaking me, who's shouting at me?

I turned my head blankly to see Immorton's eager face.

He grabbed me on the shoulder and it hurt.

It hurts, not just the shoulder.

It was as if the whole body was tied with needles, and every inch of skin was about to crack in pain.

No, no...... It's not that the body is hurting, in fact, it's the heart that hurts.

I took a deep breath: "Paddle back, go back." ”

The guards who rushed to hear the noise, Memphis who fell to the ground, and Carol who was escorted...... There was chaos on the shore. Finally, someone saw that I was about to get off the boat, and saluted in a panic, and everyone separated, and I walked over step by step.

"How?"

Unas straightened up, his eyes dark: "The wound is on the side of the waist, and the knife is very deep...... It was also quenched with poison. ”

"What poison?"

"I don't know."

I crouched down, and Memphis was blue and his lips were purple, and in a few moments he was out of shape. I knelt down and let Kim lean against the wound. But it just swirls around my wrist, not the wound to suck the venom. The blood was still flowing outward, dark red, and there was already a pool of blood under him.

The medical officer had already arrived in a hurry, but he could not remove the poison and could only bandage it to stop the bleeding. Feed Memphis the pills again. But after these tosses, Memphis did not improve at all, but it can be seen that blood seems to be oozing out under his skin, and on his neck and body, all the skin that appears outside is gradually dark red and purple, and slowly emerges and takes shape one by one, which is shocking to see.

I only felt that I was not stepping on the ground, and the whole person was falling into the bottomless abyss. Turning his head, he pointed at Carol: "Wake her up and drag her over." ”

A basin of cold water went down, and Carol snorted, but he hadn't opened his eyes yet. I grabbed her by the hair, and I listened to my own voice change its tone, sharp and ugly, and asked eagerly, "What poison is on the sword?" Is there an antidote? ”

But when he opened his eyes, Carol looked at me with a look of horror and surprise: "What? ”

"What's the poison on your sword?"

"What...... Poison? She was dazed as if she had just woken up from a big dream, and her soul had not yet returned to her body: "What are you talking about, Isis?" This ......" She saw Memphis lying there dying, and exclaimed: "Mefetz! What happened to Memphis? What happened to him? He...... Is he hurt? ”

I slapped her in the face: "You just drew your sword to kill Memphis and stabbed him in the waist!" Poison on the sword! Tell me honestly, what kind of poison is it? ”

"How could it be! No, it won't! She exclaimed, a look of fear and suspicion on her face: "How could I hurt Memphis!" Not me! Not me! I didn't do anything, I, I don't know ......"

Immorton looked down at Memphis, turned to look at Carroll, and whispered, "The poison spreads quickly." ”

His voice was low, but in the dark night it sounded like a hammer hitting my chest, and his blood was churning, but his hands and feet were cold.

"Also...... How long? ”

"He has lost a lot of blood, and he can't use bloodletting and detoxification, and the current antidote stones and antidotes are useless. If there is no cure for the symptoms," he paused, he said, "Pharaoh will not support him until dawn." ”

I closed my eyes hard, and it was Carol who screamed and screamed.

"Nope! You lie! Memphis will be fine, how can I hurt Memphis...... I like him, how can I hurt him...... Memphis! Memphis, wake up! Memphis you don't want to die......"

I was furious in my heart just now, but when Imorton said this, I only felt that my heart collapsed all at once, and I couldn't grasp anything.

"Medic," I said indifferently to the healers gathered in a circle, "if Pharaoh is not cured, you ...... Let's all go along and continue to serve, you know? ”

"Your Majesty Isis......" Sinuye knelt down, "and another assassin was in his hand, and he hid near the left." ”

I turned my head, and the guards dragged over a man wrapped in black and with black mud on his face. The man's arm had been broken and hung limply, and his head was bowed, dead. Sinuye's men presented a short wooden whistle at the same time.

I asked, "What is this?" ”

The guard said, "This man has no weapons on him, so that's all." He brought it to his lips and blew it, and the shrill sound was like the cry of a night bird. After this sound, Carol, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly shrank up, trembling, his eyes were blank and empty, and he behaved like ...... It's like losing your mind and going crazy, being manipulated.

I've learned that Bitaidos manipulated Kyrol in this way, and at the critical moment, gave Memphis the fatal blow.
