Chapter 175: Night, Pawn?
“…… Where am I going? ”
The narrow field of vision gradually becomes dim, the brain can no longer think normally, and it takes a while to answer any random question.
“…… Adventurer's Guild? ”
As he walked, he came up with this answer.
It's just that the direction he's heading is not towards the Adventurers' Guild branch in North City...... Again, the Adventurers' Guild is just a place in his life that he passes by accidentally, not his home, not his home.
- So, where is my place?
Ye Yu thought to herself.
“…… Unexpectedly. ”
In the end, the exhausted brain couldn't answer the question, perhaps because he was resisting to think about it.
"I'm sleepy."
I opened my eyelids as much as I could, so sleepy, but I couldn't sleep yet.
Now that I'm asleep, I may never wake up again. I've worked so hard to survive, but I can't fall in a place like this. You have to think of something to get your brain active...... Like, where am I now?
Nightpale blinked, and the action of opening her eyes was extremely long.
He tried to see his surroundings while avoiding the blood from the wound seeping into his eyes.
"How did I get here......"
Barely make out that you are in the depths of an abandoned alley, flanked by gray walls. It looks like an old town, and the simple houses on the left and right belong to the kind of old houses waiting to be demolished.
Maybe it's because of the habits of the previous life.
Whether after completing a mission or when a mission fails, he will try to get as close as possible to a dark and uninhabited place to avoid approaching the lively crowd. In addition to not letting people notice the smell of blood on his body, the most important reason is ...... Yeyu will think more.
Seeing the inhabitants living in the sun, he contrasts himself with the dark world in which he lives.
Seeing those couples who are still snuggling up to each other on a hot day, he will compare himself to a Wang.
He will long, yearn for, and look forward to their lives, but he will deeply understand that his blood-stained hands have long since lost the qualification to live in the sun.
Bang Tower, Bang Tower.
Nightshade turned her head in shock, and there was no one behind her.
He paused for a long time before realizing that it was the sound of rain, not footsteps.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time it has rained since coming to the Helset continent......"
Yelu raised his head, the gray mobile Wangcheng hood slipped quietly, and the black hair stained with blood and coagulated together was scattered over his shoulders.
Thin drops of rain fell on his face, down the amplitude of Panish's soft cheeks, and splashed red on the ground.
He loves rainy days, and when it rains, it will be easier to assassinate his target, and the other party will be distracted by this.
Even if there is no mission that day, Yeyu will stop training and sit on a high platform and quietly watch the rainy city. Looking down on those who were fleeing in the rain without umbrellas, it was enviable to think that they were enjoying a warm bath and warm cold powder after returning to the warmth of their homes.
Nightshade suddenly hated the rain.
As the rain began to fall heavier and heavier, Yelu smiled bitterly—though he didn't know if his blank expression was a bitter smile.
Bad...... The body that has lost too much blood is already cold, and if it rains like this, the last trace of temperature of the body will be taken away. Yelu looked into the depths of the alley, the end of which was pitch black, and he couldn't feel the presence of hope at all.
He paused as if thinking of something, and raised his right hand tremblingly and placed it in front of his eyes.
…… Can't see clearly.
The things in front of me seemed to be wrapped in a black shadow, and so was my right hand, which looked blurry. Yezhu knows very well that this is caused by excessive ischemia, and after a little more, it is estimated that he will not be able to see anything clearly.
Nightshade lowered his heavy head and looked down at the cause of his blood loss—a deep wound on his abdomen that was visible to the bone. During the battle with Anderson in Ignis Prison, he was deeply stabbed by Anderson, and was directly hit by a tentacle attack, adding to injury, exceeding the limit of his self-recovery ability.
Under the huge creation, Yelu should have fallen, but survived in the strong desire to survive and the resonance of "Night". depend on
With his strong willpower, he could hold on a little longer...... But when this will is burned out, what can he use as fuel to supply this body for action?
He had to have medicine to survive, but he looked around and saw nothing but the broken walls and the dripping autumn rain...... Nothing.
"Hah...... Ha...... It sucks. ”
Nightoshi leaned her shoulders against the wall, gasping for breath.
Escaping Ignis Prison is only the first step, and his enemies will never let him go.
When Yezhu left the prison, he sensed the arrival of enemy reinforcements, and presumably it would be followed by a series of pursuits. He should have run fast, but he couldn't, his legs were as heavy as if they had been poured with lead, and he had to use all his strength with every step.
"I ...... Can't die here. ”
Speaking of the tense spirit, Yelu struggled to drag his cold legs forward.
Losing the source of spiritual power, the tattered mobile royal robes rubbed against the walls and made a small cracking sound, and the walls were scratched with blood-colored traces, but they were washed away by the shower.
He didn't know what was in the depths of the alley, and he didn't know what the use of going on.
All he knew was that he couldn't stop, and his ears buzzed with auditory hallucinations, as if he heard the sound of heavy boot steps, as if thousands of pursuers were following him, and when he stopped, it would be his time of death.
I don't know how long it has been, maybe minutes, maybe an hour or two. When the night came to an end...... Veritably coming to an end. Looking at the dead end in front of him, Yeyu was silent for a long time, leaning his back against the wall and slowly landing on the ground.
The long hair soaked by the rain stuck to his face, and the soaked mobile Wangcheng robe was indescribably cold, and Ye Xi hugged his knees, trying to give himself a little warmth.
It's over.
It's over.
He didn't have the strength to turn around and walk out of the alley, and even if he did, he might be surrounded by enemies.
It's a dead end anyway, so it's better to sit here and wait quietly for death to come.
…… I don't know if Candle and Youmu have managed to escape, they haven't returned to the union for so long, Nimeng and Nuo Yi will also be worried, right? I'm sorry...... I probably won't be able to go back......
The desire to survive burned out, and Yelu closed his eyes weakly, unlike when he was killed by Wanwan, he still had some time to remember his life this time.
Many things that had happened in the past, as well as people who were very important to him, came to his mind one by one.
When Panishy pops into his mind, Nightshade is surprised to find...... Her figure occupies all of him.
Obviously they haven't been together for a long time, but his empty heart is filled with her.
