Section 197: City of Tears (1)

Opening her eyes, the owner of the inky eyeballs lifted her head, and in the distance, light was projected through the broken void, pulling out the eternal light of day under her eyes.

I don't know when, the scorching sun will set, I don't know when, the Lord of the Night will pull up her curtain.

A small singing sound came from the empty underground.

The princess and the prince, the eternal psalms, clasped each other's hands and each other's hearts, to destroy all the dragons and chaos in this world.

She turned her head to look at the voice, but didn't notice anything.

"Mira." She said with a hint of question, but also with a hint of nervousness: "Where are you?" ”

I'm in your heart.

The owner of the song replied.

As if she had discovered something, she lowered her head and looked at her chest, in the center of the young chest, in the center of the carapace pure white chitinous shell, there was a sac like a blue gem, and there was a small person in it.

"Mira." She happily stroked the blue sheath, which was as translucent as a gem and as hard as a crystal: "Are you better?" ”

Thank you, Vasper.

The little figure in the sheath replied, as if soaked in liquid, her hands and feet twisting irregularly.

Only then did tears roll down the girl's dark eyes.

"It must have hurt." After speaking, the girl raised her head and looked at the light in the distance: "When Vaspu fell before, it was also painful, but it must not be as painful as yours." ”

Yes, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much that I want to cry, but the tears are dry, my heart is dead, I want revenge, revenge on your kind, won't you blame me, Vasper.

"No, since my father is gone, Vasp has been bullied, my mother left Vasp, I can't eat, I can't dress warmly, my home is gone, and I was taken away by my uncle......" Speaking of this, the little figure raised his head and looked at the light: "Vasp, I haven't felt warm for a long time, and with Mira, I feel warm and happy." ”

Happy, happy, Vaspu and Mira, heterogeneous, we wait, we pray, we come to build a new Hallownest, we take revenge on the bad guys!

In the empty underground, the singing continued, like a whisper, like a whisper.

………………

Marlin frowned.

Standing on the street leading to the excavation site, Marin had just found himself hearing singing.

It was only for a moment, but the sound was definitely singing.

Happy, happy, Vasp and Mira...... Plural suspected evil gods?

Oh my God, how can Silent Hill be able to do it, how can this be fought, Marin really doesn't dare to expect when the help from the outside world will arrive - it is certain that the Silent Hill outside is definitely shrouded in a dense fog at this moment, and if he can't crack it, no one is sure that he will be able to pass through the fog alive.

This made Ma Lin retreat - people in the rivers and lakes, one is afraid of old, the other is afraid of being small, the singing is obviously two children singing, it doesn't matter if the children sing, but the key is whose little cub can sing so exaggeratedly and be able to whisper in the ears of others.

The singing was staccato and staccaly, and Marin found that the closer he got to the excavation site of the tomb, the more coherent the singing became, until Marin stood in front of a gap.

The song was no longer a whisper, but a way that Marin could hear directly, and by this time, the song was no longer a coherent word, but a whimpering sound like a mournful scream.

With a strong hint, Marin felt that if it wasn't for him to stand here, he was afraid that he would have been hinted at to the point where he was willing to die for the owner of this song.

Now that the location has been found, Marin is not in a hurry to jump in - jumping in at this time is no different from suicide, or rummaging through the excavation site to see if there is any new information.

In the largest tent, Marin found half of Professor Odham Sherrington's head, which had been washed with the blood of bugs, because the tent had good light transmission, and the bugs did not choose this place as a 'residence', so Marin walked in here and did not break into the empty door to break into a family reunion, but only Mr. Professor's head full of tooth marks.

Taking a cloth over poor Mr. Professor, Marin took the diary and opened it.

Turn to the first day of work, the goddess, and see what we have found in the city, an ancient tomb of the Second Age, full of secrets that we do not know, Your Excellency has done a very good job of protecting the relics, except for the unlucky ones who fell into the tomb because they stepped on the hollow, no one has entered, so that at least we don't need to take the city guards to chase down the artifacts that may be lost, one by one.

The next day, the work was not going well, Quinine Street was a slum, full of people who wanted to make a fortune, and in the morning, we even found a guy who had dug out a passage to the tomb from a nearby house, and this guy had dug through, and it can only be said that the transcendent, even if it was just a powerful guy, was a very headache.

And here's the good news...... He triggered the trap, we had to find someone to shovel him out of the tomb, and his death was very effective in deterring many outlaws, and it has always been the ultimate philosophical question in front of every outlaw.

On the third day, today received a very interesting child, her name is ...... Vaspur.

According to the locals, it was a poor child, not long after he was born, his father died in an accident, and within two years, his mother disappeared with the compensation money, and he didn't know whether he was flying away with other men, or he was kidnapped and became a brand new meat ticket, this child named Vaspu became an orphan, and the family house was also taken away by his father's younger brother, if it were not for the relief of the Church of Love and the Harvest Church, she was afraid that she would have died long ago.

It's a shame, if she's a few years older, I wouldn't mind putting her in charge of some of the normal physiological needs of our team.

Marin glanced down at the half of his head, wondering what was going on with you, but thought about it...... It's probably just the fault of the world, this damn world, it's not unusual for a fourteen-year-old girl to be a mother.

Turning the page - really, I confirm my thoughts yesterday, Vasp is not saying that there is not much flesh, but there is no flesh at all, the skin is covered with bones, it is so small, but it is so hard, just to earn five dollars from me, and this makes me feel guilty for the first time, the goddess has mercy, maybe I should go and do an atonement prayer.

The corners of Marin's mouth twitched, and half of his head shot out of the tent under the psionic wrap, turning into a puddle of flesh on the wall.

Angry, Marin sighed again - this damn world, these damn bastards.

Turning the page again - we've dealt with the traps in the tomb today, and we can only say that the guys of the Second Age are really very good, such elaborate traps, such elaborate instruments, we have never seen those things, but then again, that coffin is awesome, the burial person has a set of all-silk burial clothes, if I can have such a coffin and such a set of clothes after I die, then my descendants will probably be able to blow the cattle of the next era.

…… Forget your pathetic dreams, Mr. Professor, you're disgraced to the intellectuals, you know.

Marlin snorted, then flipped the page.

It rained today, we raised the hole and put on a tarp to protect us from the rain, and we rested for the day, and in the evening, exhausted, I wanted to pray for sins again, I didn't want to, but I didn't estimate the child's courage to fight for money...... I hate myself a little now, oh, man, always like a man after the fact, and always a beast at other times.

Marin turned his head, and the flesh on the wall began to spontaneously combust and then turn into a cloud of black ash.

Turning his head back, Marlin turned a page.

And the last page.

I heard a cry today, a very small cry, which made me think that we had encountered something bad, but the chaos detector showed that there was no problem, and the adjudicators of the Church of Justice who had come said that they could not hear the singing, and the acohorts of the Church of the God of War who had come with me even looked at me with suspicion, which was really offensive to me.

I can't understand the singing, but the singing is very good, obviously not a singing voice that I can understand, but ...... It's really unexpectedly good.

The goddess has mercy on me and helped me through this difficult time.

The diary is no longer written here, but it is very important information for Marin.

He can now hear the chorus of two girls, this should be the existence of the girl named Vasp and a certain suspected evil god, it is possible that Vasp is possessed, this is normal, this child is pitiful, helpless, but willing to use his own efforts in exchange for money to buy bread, what a good child, if she was in Fort Carter, Marin would never let her fall to such a point.

It's a pity that at this moment, his human and financial resources are exhausted, and Marin once again deeply understands his shortcomings.

This evil god has something to do with bugs...... Just as he was thinking about this, Marin suddenly heard a new singing voice—this time, he understood the content.

Under the Holy Nest, the relatives admonished, little Mira, went out on an adventure and met a handsome earthman, and Mila liked him.

What is Hallownest?

With this in mind, Marin took the stone and asked the bishops on the other side of the stone.

Soon, news appeared and jumped into Marin's mind.

I'm Rahabrea, kid, you want to know about Hallownest, if there's any place in this world called Hallownest, it's probably the Innsmouth Bug Hallownest.

That's the myth of the Second Age, boy, at that time, there were still wormmen in this world, and it is said that they were the alchemical beings made by the ancestors of the First Age, or even before the Great Destruction Era, and they were able to combine with humans to become their spears and armor, of course, these are all legends, no one has ever seen these.

At the time of the destruction of the Second Age, the Zerg retreated underground, and they established a lair that housed many humans and other races.

After the end of the Second Age, the survivors of humanity and other races left Hallownest, and no one knew where it was.

There are only such stories in the ancient history books of the Church, and the average Church member doesn't even know about them, child, where did you hear the word Hallownest?

Marin thought about it and decided to tell the truth.

I heard it in the whispers ringing in my ears.

There was silence for a while, Marin rolled his eyes and decided to leave—knowing enough information, he decided to go down and confront the two children.

There is indeed an aura of chaos here, but the concentration is far from dangerous.

There's no madness in the song, so Marin prepares to confront them and find out why the children of Hallownest have turned the city into a giant morgue.

Bishop Rahabrea said that the Zermen of the Hallownest were capable of becoming the spears and armor of humans, but the current situation was that the Zermen had become human coffins, like a pathetic container that would walk on its own.

Standing at the mouth of the cave, Marin was about to jump off when news jumped into his head.

My brother told me that you can still be trusted, because you once faced terror and then were brought back to this world by the Lord of Justice, and it seems that the secrecy of Fort Carter is doing a good job, or my brother is lying to me, if it is the former, then you can listen, if it is the latter, I will kill him first, and then find time to kill you...... Because you're not you anymore.

Hurry up, old man.

Marin replied.

Well, if you hear a song that is really from the Children of Hallownest, then you can try to communicate with her, from the texts, they are a civilized race that can communicate, although they have not been able to sign the civilization pact, but at least they have always been able to understand human speech, so ...... Go ahead and see if you can put an end to this nightmare for us.

By the way, don't forget that running away is the way to survive, and I hope you can fulfill your promise, run faster than death, and it will not be able to catch up with you.

I know.

After Marin finished speaking, he jumped off the tomb, and in his raised hand, a faint light lit up.

Before Marin could see what the nicks on the aisle of the tomb were, he heard a scream of fear coming from inside, and then a small figure rushed out of it, and the two World Tree twigs on Marin's wrist immediately shot out, tying the figure in a knot...... No, the two branches were not tied to the person, and Marlin subconsciously reached out and grabbed a small hand.

In the next second, the slimy little hand came out of his hand, but this time the twig of the World Tree had blocked the exit, and there was no way to escape, and the small figure burrowed into the corner, and Marlin turned around, brightened the light, and saw a small insect and the blue sac sheath on her chest, and the chitin carapace was covering her completely.

Marin watched as her little hands slowly covered with carapace, amazed at the touch they had just touched, so that the strange yet familiar letters on the wall could not attract Marin's attention.

This is...... The Legend of the ...... Biological armor?

Glancing at the letters on the wall again.

ULM-The handwriting is blurred-113.

Marin didn't pay attention to the little bug, but turned around and walked towards the main burial chamber of the tomb, and as the brightness of the ball of light in his hand gradually increased, Marin saw the cracked metal plate, saw the pipeline, and saw the so-called coffin in the center of the tomb.

Half-covered transparent hatches, shriveled corpses and silk tights that wrap around it, refrigerated human bodies? Is it a fatal sleep after a running error? Or is it ...... Wait a minute, this dress looks a little different from this one's size, Marin, who has doubts in his heart, checked the hatch and found that it was glued to it later, and then went around, and when he came to the cabin, he saw the large mass of cut cables and the stone shelves that held it.

I just wanted to say how this thing can be suspended, and the feelings are trusted.

Marin returned to the 'coffin' and sighed - this is the Second Age after the Great Destruction?

It was a creative idea to dismantle the life-support pod and make it a coffin.

Thinking of this, Marin reached out and rubbed his temples, feeling that he somewhat understood what the history books mentioned about the Great Recession.

There was an uneasy whisper behind him, like two children talking, and Marin turned his head to look into the depths of the dark tomb.

I don't know if it was Fio or his friend who hung the glowing branches of divinity and illuminated everything for Marin, the eyes of the little insect were as round as copper bells because of the light, and there was not a trace of impurity in the pure black eye sockets, as if looking at him, and like a dull dead silence.

Time was advancing, Marlin was silent, and so was the little wormman, and at the 32-second mark the little thing sniffled.

The silence continued, and just as Marin pondered whether or not to break the damn record-breaking silence, in the 64th second, the little bug-man's voice rang out in the graveyard full of postmodernism.

"I'm Vasper, are you a bad person?"

Marin's smile was a little distorted - it was the first time in years that someone had used such an adjective to describe themselves when they first met.

"I'm not, on the contrary, I'm a good person, and I'm here to find out who planted bugs in people's bodies." Speaking of this, Marin strode towards it: "Is that you." ”

It's me.

Another voice rang out in Marin's head.

Following the fluctuations of psionic energy, Marin saw the tiny worm-man in the blue sheath.

"You're a Nest bug?" Marin asked.

Do you know the Holy Nest, looking at your age, it doesn't look like you know?

Faced with its question, Marin smiled: "I heard your singing, at first I couldn't hear it when I was far away, but when I got closer to here, I began to hear it clearly, and before I jumped down, I heard your song mention the Holy Nest." ”

You hear my singing.

There was a hint of doubt and surprise in the little worm's voice.

It seemed to be attached to the outer shell of the capsule, but Marlin noticed that its limbs seemed to be broken: "What's wrong with your body, broken?" You need to repair your body and let those bugs possess the innocent...... Including this child. With that, Marin stood up.

He was waiting for an answer, and if he wasn't satisfied, the tiny wormman would have to die to atone for his sins.

"No, Sister Mira is also very pitiful, I volunteered." The girl said loudly: "When I found my sister, she was struggling in the sewers, her whole body was covered with black mist, I picked her up, she didn't mean to!" ”

Marin took a deep breath: "Then Miss Mira, can you give me a very reasonable explanation, if this explanation can satisfy me, and you can release this possession, then I can consider letting you live." ”

This statement is true.

If the city is rescued, Marin doesn't mind letting her go.
