Verse 158: Ignition (3)
After a while, Maya, who was sitting there, was unmoved, she neither moved curiously, nor turned her head to look at Marin, time seemed to be frozen for her, Marin instinctively felt wrong, but the two great gods seemed to have found a problem.
Together, they pulled up a mirror made of water elementals in front of Maya.
At that moment, Marin saw Maya in a black wedding dress in the mirror, and beside her, there was Maya in her usual clothes, Maya in torn armor, and Maya holding a book.
More and more Maya appeared in the mirror, of all ages and appearances, with red hair, gray hair, and silver braids; There are old women, young children, adult proud breasts, and girls like bulletproof chest armor.
"What are those leopards doing with a water mirror, I can't see anything." Xingyan frowned, "Do their potions work?" β
"It's not the time for you dwarven black orcs, that's Marin's sister." Colin frowned after speaking: "But I don't know what this mirror is for." β
Then he saw Marlin walk forward: "Marlin! Where are you going! β
Then Marin turned his head to look at him: "I can see Maya in the mirror, many, many times." β
"Goddess, great, Mr. Marin, it looks like you are Maya's child of destiny, please come here." Ollie sighed, her summoning made Marin quicken his pace, and finally he stood in front of the mirror: "What's going on now. β
"Something went wrong, the Spiritual Energy of Enlightenment is effective for most children, but there are a very few children who are too effective, if the general Spiritual Energy of Enlightenment is to open a spiritual pool on this child, then Maya's current spiritual energy pool is too big...... It's like a dry lake. β
"Simple, what do I have to do to save Maya?" Marin decided to make things simpler first, otherwise the Great Divine Lord was afraid that before he finished explaining, his little leopard sister would really have to become a living leopard.
"You have to enter her dreams, it's very dangerous." Another priest, Mina, said: "The danger is that if you fail, you will die with your sister, and in the dream world, you will not have a blood roar, you will not have your World Tree branches, you will not have your elf pet and the child in your hood, you will face your sister with your soul, tell me, Marin, what will you choose." β
Marin pursed his mouth, the appearance of his soul made Marin hesitate for a moment, and finally he laughed: "How am I going to dream." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Maya wanted to sleep a little because she felt a little dizzy in her head, but there was a fog all around, which made the little leopard girl a little wary because she felt that she should not have been here, not here, not under the car...... Wait a minute, what's underneath the car?
The little leopard girl looked around in confusion, she took two steps, the mist seemed to flow with her movements, the appearance of the ground changed, there were more fragments of the dry earth, Maya crouched down and picked up a piece, it was metal, it seemed to be a weapon?
She picked up two more pieces, carefully put them together, and found that it was a long sword.
Where is this?
Maya stood up and took two steps, this time, she saw a victim who had been killed in the pit, saying that it was the lover because it had completely dried and ossified, and a rotten metal pipe that could no longer be seen was on his body, and Maya picked up the pipe...... Looks like the barrel of an older brother?
Brother?
Who is my brother? The little leopard scratched its head and barked...... What's it called?
The little leopard, which felt as if it was not old and decrepit, deflated its mouth, its tail moved uncontrollably to its mouth, and its small mouth, which had been opened, stopped at the last moment.
Maya took her tail away from her mouth, she didn't know why she was doing it, but instinct told her she couldn't.
Yes, you can't.
With this in mind, Maya moved on.
Gradually, the fog lifted, and Maya found herself standing inside the west gate of the city, the former slum was gone, and a huge battlefield appeared in front of her eyes.
Like ...... It's like my brother once described his experience in the Northlands.
Fort Carter: What's going on.
Maya jumped over the trench and looked at the dead inside, scuffling each other to death, Maya resisted the uncomfortable feeling - she had never seen so many dead people like this.
In times of peace, the death of a person can make people sad for a lifetime.
I don't know why, this sentence jumped out of Maya's mind, and there was another sentence in the opposite direction.
In war, a million people who died could not make people cry.
Says who?
Brother?
Maya was becoming more and more confused, and she didn't know how to explain how it all came to her mind.
Just as the girl was looking around blankly, a figure that made Maya burst appeared on the street in the distanceβa huge, skinless xenomorph.
She'd seen that two years ago, the north side of Fort Carter was full of these monsters.
But haven't they already been killed?
With this question in mind, Maya saw it start running towards her, and the little leopard girl immediately glanced around, then picked up a rotten dagger from the ground - the only weapon she could find, the children of the Gayat family could die, but not without resistance.
The xenomorph was so close that Maya could clearly see its fangs and see the excitement in its eyes, similar to when she saw the barbecue.
The little leopard clenched the short sword in his hand, the metal hilt was a little rusty, and it was uncomfortable to hold, but at this moment of countdown to her life, Maya rarely thought of her brother's name.
Marin.
That's right, it's called Marin.
β¦β¦ It's just that...... It's called Marlin.
Xenomorph jumps up like a big dog.
Maya shrank back, trying to pounce and stabbed her dagger into its waist.
This will definitely not cause this xenomorph to lose its life, and even die in the next second from a second blow...... But at least the Gayat children resisted.
With this thought, Maya saw herself, the figure she had seen in the mirror, the self in a black wedding dress, leaping out of the sudden opening of the rift, and slashing the xenomorph into two with a single sword.
She landed, and the other sword in her hand had already sliced the front half of the xenomorph's body open.
Maya watched the xenomorph corpse pieces fly over her head, and she stood up and looked at herself in front of her.
Overwhelmed.
"Hello, me on another timeline." But this one opened his mouth.
Her voice was hoarse, not at all as agile and crisp as Maya.
"Me? You? "Maya felt like she was too stupid.
And Maya, who was facing her, shook her head: "These monsters, you've seen them, right." β
"Yes, two years ago, but everyone said they had been killed, and they had good materials on them." Maya replied immediately.
"You are different from mine, it seems that it is from your mouth for two years...... No, maybe it started earlier. The big leopard girl with black gauze glanced at her little self: "It's really ...... It's a jealous difference. She sighed, the red soul fire in her eyes rolling.
"You...... Are you alone? Maya looked at her big self, and for some reason, she wanted to ask the question.
"There are no living people in the city anymore, and even I am no longer alive." Maya nodded, and instead of looking at her little self, she walked to the center of the battlefield, where there was a small skeleton.
She knelt in front of the skeleton.
"Where's my brother?" Maya followed her big self to the skeleton.
She saw that her big self did not answer, but reached out and stroked the skeleton.
ββ¦β¦ Is my brother dead? Maya's eyes widened.
"It's dead, everybody's dead." Maya turned her head and looked at her little self parallel to herself: "You ignited the psionic energy, I didn't, I learned to fight with a sword and a gun, I was an assassin in a large woodland, I died in Nancheng District, and then I became what I am now...... An ugly spirit. β
"Why do you have sanity, everyone says that if you become a spirit, you will lose your mind." Maya looked at the big self in front of her, a little puzzled by her performance.
"I don't know, I just know that Sister Faye blessed me before she died, and she said that I would be the last survivor...... But I failed her blessing. Lowering her head and kissing the skull in front of her, Maya got up and looked at her little self in front of her: "It's always a little ...... to see yourself still alive Anyway, I don't know how to explain it, if Brother Lorraine is still here, he will definitely laugh at me. β
"Lorraine, my brother's name is Marin." Maya looked at the big self in front of her, with vigilance, doubt, and confusion in her eyes.
ββ¦β¦ I see. The soul fire in Maya's eyes was rolling, she looked at herself, although there was no expression on her dry face, but she was joyful, she was crying: "It turns out that the difference between me and you is here." β
"What do you mean?" Maya looked at herself in front of her, although she didn't know what this big self meant, but she could feel that she was crying, and the sadness from the depths of her soul was clearly transmitted to Maya's heart.
"The fate of my world and the fate of your world started with my brother, and there is a difference." Maya said, looking at her little self, she was just about to say something, when she felt something coming in the distance, she looked up, and saw a man who did not look tall or athletic.
She reached out and tapped her little head lightly.
"What did you do to my sister." The man who walked over asked.
"Let her sleep well, brother." Looking at the man in front of her, Maya wanted to laugh, but she sadly found that she was already dead and dead, and a smile was a luxury for her that she would never have again.
The man's steps paused for a moment, he seemed to be confirming, he seemed to be wary again, and finally, he tried to laugh a little: "I have seen the ...... of this world Malgen. β
"Malgen, my poor sheep sister, she was twisted into a monster by the Chaos Cultists......" Maya sighed, "She...... Finally rest in peace. β
"Rest in peace, I have given her eternity and peace with my own hands." The man stopped, and he looked at Maya: "What's wrong with this world. β
"In my own conversations, I learned that the invasion of Chaos began when we were young, that sacrifice north of Fort Carter was not controlled, and that it eventually led to a major invasion, and that the army of Chaos is now heading east, and the whole world is sounding the death knell." When Maya said this, she stretched out her hand and picked up the small skull: "My brother's name is Lorraine, and you're called Marin...... You have a completely different soul from him, I watched my brother's soul finally burn out, and in the last moments, he was still smiling, obviously he couldn't speak, but he still told me with his eyes, run away, Maya, the farther away from here, the better......"
Speaking of this, Maya, who was dressed in a black wedding dress, stood up, she held her skull, and looked at Marin: "I...... I failed everyone, my brother sacrificed himself to save many people, Cross twisted herself to exchange herself for me in exchange for the opportunity to escape into the south of the city, Sister Faye blessed me before she died, and Margen was caught with a voice so that I could escape...... "Her withered body changed, her body was revived, her soul fire was replaced by an organ called the eyeball, and long hair grew out of the resuscitated hair follicles: "There was a boat group to take the survivors away, Sister Jessica volunteered to stay, she put our baby on the ship, but she didn't know it, I stayed too, I volunteered to swap with the four children, and although they said there would be a second wave of boats, it turned out to be too late, and Fort Carter fell much sooner than expected. β
Speaking of this, Maya, who had returned to her living appearance, smiled at the man in front of her: "I am jealous of myself, jealous of her good luck, jealous of the change in the direction of her world, jealous of her bright future, jealous of her happy appearance when she mentioned your name, I am jealous of everything about her, brother." β
"Is that why you chose to fall in the end?" There was a sad look on the man's face.
"Yes, the world is coming to an end, and I hear the death knell ringing every day, and our children with my brother are destined to die in this catastrophe...... Everything I have guarded, what I love, everything I have given for will be destroyed before me...... So, I'm begging for death. Sharp teeth erupted from Maya's mouth, and her snow-like skin began to harden: "Please, my brother from another world, purify ...... I, before I get uglier, kill me, destroy me, purify me. β
In the last moments of Maya's consciousness, she saw a small tree grow in front of the man, and it grew rapidly, eventually winding around the ...... That brother's arm.
"I accept your request, my sister...... And also. The man was smiling, even though he was crying better than that.
"Good night, Maya."
He said.
"Good night, brother."
At the last moment, Maya laughed, and then threw the skull in her hand at the man.
Don't forget to say goodnight to yourself.
