Chapter 44: Hearing the News

The bright moonlight seeped into the mountain forest, leaving only a faint glimmer, and in the small flat under the trees on the edge of the cliff, two figures were talking.

"She's awakened."

Galadia's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her somber eyes revealed her dissatisfaction.

"Why stop me from reminding them that they could have escaped."

"Don't be overpowered, you should be able to perceive that Livlu is not an enemy you can fight at all, if she finds out, the organization may lose both NO.7 and NO.9 at the same time, especially as the 'eye', you are far more important to the organization than ordinary warriors. That's why I'm stopping you, but it's for your sake, Galadia. ”

Shrouded in black robes, with only a pair of dead fish eyes on his entire head, Elomeda coaxed the warrior in charge of him in a tone that had no credibility.

"The warrior you got my special attention to finally awakened, doesn't that matter?"

"After all, they are facing Liv Road, and casualties are inevitable, and it can even be said that they are lucky to have escaped from Liv Road at the cost of only one awakening. Of course, for the organization, it is very reluctant that this awakened person happens to be a very valuable object of observation. ”

"Then I'll pick up the two escaped warriors now, and you won't object again." Not wanting to communicate with the hypocritical agent any longer, Galadia turned and walked into the woods, vaguely hearing Elumida's voice of agreement before quickly disappearing into the shadows of the trees.

"Are you disgusted by the warriors in charge again?" Elrumida's gaze never moved, as if it had been hollow.

The release of demonic power has exceeded the boundary, and awakening is inevitable.

Although she is not a warrior who is good at perceiving demonic energy, the demonic energy that bursts out after Anna's awakening is too strong, so even from a distance, Deborah can sense it.

At this time, she was returning with a confused Quintina along the route she had come from during the day, and because she didn't bother to stop to heal her wounds, the blood had uncontrollably stained large areas of her clothes.

"What people!" Deborah sensed that the shadows of the trees beside the road hid a demonic aura stronger than when she was in her prime.

"Don't be nervous, I'm Galadia, ranked No.7. I'm not very good at it, but I'm here to help you support this fighter. "When Galadia got closer, she sensed the demonic power of the riot in Kuntina's body more carefully, and it should be too late.

"Also, don't ask me what I'm doing here."

……

In the town of your, before the cold fog of the early morning had cleared, a figure appeared at the entrance of the town.

According to Kimir, the location of the Awakened is not far from the town of your, but why hasn't Anna returned after a day and a night?

As time went by, Li Fang's heart became more and more anxious, so in the early morning when there was still silence around, he went to wait, hoping to see the person who was worried about him come back as soon as possible.

In the early morning, there were few pedestrians on the road, and in the eyes of passers-by, the image of a teenager leaning against the wall and waiting motionless seemed to have been engraved into the mist.

Finally, the figures of the two warriors appeared at the corner of the road, and Li Fang hurriedly stepped forward, only to find that it was Deborah and Quintina, who were covered in scars and tired, and they didn't see Anna!

"She ......" Li Fang couldn't speak, because he was afraid that he would hear a bad answer, and he couldn't even ask a word.

With the help of Galadia, Quintina was lucky enough to retreat from the brink of awakening, and the injuries on the two of them recovered overnight and initially stabilized.

And Galadia, who used demonic energy to help them, chose to leave after their injuries stabilized. She is the 'eye' of the organization, often performing some secret tasks, basically alone, this time to help them is just out of sympathy, of course, there is no need to dwell on it after the end.

"After the crusade, we encountered two Awakened with overwhelming strength, and all three of us were captured except for Cynthia. The other party wants us to awaken and become their subordinates, so they torture us in every way. In the end, it was Anna who offered to leave alive at the cost of her own voluntary awakening. ”

When Quintina said this, her eyes were red, and she felt very remorseful for her weakness at that time, and she was the one who longed to stay and awaken.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's good to be alive. I don't know whether it was joy or pain, Li Fang looked distractedly in the direction they were coming.

Anna is still alive, but now she has become an Awoken who feeds on human entrails, but it's better than being a cold corpse at the hands of the Awoken, right?

Unable to bear to see the dejected appearance of the young man in front of him, Deborah stepped forward and pressed Li Fang's shoulder with one hand: "Anna finally said, let me take care of you on her behalf, and I agreed." I'll always take you with you in the future, if you want. ”

Without waiting for Li Fang to respond, she said again: "This place is still very dangerous now, we have to leave immediately." ”

But Li Fang pushed away Deborah's hand on his shoulder.

He returned to the place where he had been waiting, looked at the misty mountains in the distance, and said to them, "Anna will definitely come back to me, and whatever becomes of her, I will wait for her here." ”

"Now is not the time to get emotional!" Deborah's voice was a little angry: "Don't you understand, once our warriors awaken, their minds will be infinitely closer to the demons, and it can even be said that the part of the human body after awakening has died, and only the part of the demon is left in that shell!" ”

"And now the closest human gathering place to Anna is this town, and she will definitely come to hunt for food when she has just woken up...... I really don't want to face her again so soon. ”

Li Fang understood that what Deborah said was basically the truth, and he himself knew very well that continuing to stay here was almost equivalent to gambling with his life, betting that Anna would be able to resist the desire to eat for him......

Although he knew that there was little hope, the image of Anna eating human internal organs in his mind made his heart unbearable!

"I won't run away, if Anna really turns into a monster that only eats people, then I'd rather die at her hands." Li Fang showed a fearless smile after letting go of everything, and said to them: "Thank you for your concern, although Anna asked you to take care of me, I will not go with you." I just want to travel with her, no matter how hard it is, even if it's the end of our journey. ”

"Don't worry, you didn't break your agreement with Anna, because it's my own choice."

Is this the words of a teenager who looks no more than thirteen or fourteen years old? Deborah and Quintina didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Deborah and Quintina didn't forcibly take Li Fang away in the end, and they respected his choice. Although they hadn't experienced it, they could still see the feelings of the teenager in front of them for Anna.

Because the Great Sword, a sidearm weapon, was lost in that cave, both Deborah and Quintina have now lost most of their combat power, and even if they stay, it won't be of much help.

So Li Fang persuaded them not to stay.

After several persuasions, the two big swords reluctantly agreed, after all, this was his own will, how could they force him.

Before leaving, Li Fang received a large sum of money from the two of them, which was stored in a similar money bank institution in this world. They said that this was prepared in case Anna could resist the longing for her internal organs, and at that time they hoped that Li Fang would take Anna to find a place to live in seclusion.

Although they themselves feel that this is almost just a naΓ―ve fantasy.

Barely covered with almost tattered clothes, Deborah and Quintina set off as the morning fog faded.

Looking at their backs as they drifted away, Li Fang fell into deep thought, he was not a person who liked to sit still.

What else can I do?
