Dead or alive
Wan Jie couldn't sleep peacefully from the shattered and torn dream, and she woke up from the nightmare again to look at the 'familiar but unreal' scenes around her, and sighed.
Since losing her divinity, her whole person is as if more than half of her soul has been stripped away, and a sense of emptiness that cannot be ignored is eating away at her will.
Even, for a moment or two, in her rationality, there was a trace of intolerable madness. And this madness made her have some bad thoughts.
Quickly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, Wan Jie lifted the quilt, her body was still sweating, she decided to take a shower first, and then ask Father An who didn't plan to sleep a little advice.
However, what she didn't expect was this. When she came out of the cell, she did not see the priest immersed in the ocean of knowledge in the expected picture, nor did she see the saint who was supposed to protect the place. Even Fair, who was supposed to be in the showroom, was nowhere to be seen at this moment.
These seemingly inconsequential things, in her opinion, are actually very likely to represent something that happened quietly when she didn't know it.
In order to deepen her point of view, but also to sort out the thoughts in her head, she decided to go step by step, step by step.
At first, she set her eyes on the table.
The book is more than half turned over, and the lack of closed pages and the lack of bookmarks seem to suggest that the reader himself may not have expected to be gone for long.
And considering that there are a lot of books that have already been read next to that book, this reader may be Father Ann himself.
After confirming the priest's whereabouts, Wan Jie took it for granted that she pulled her mind to the next target, the reckless young man who always liked to follow the priest.
There wasn't anything in the cubicle that she was looking for, as she had confirmed in just a few minutes. Although, something unpleasant happened along the way. For example, the guy named Gong Chen seems to dislike people intruding into his 'private territory'. And the one named Xie Baozhen slept so soundly that he couldn't wake up at all.
Not being in the cubicle means that he is not sleeping, or... Is he, like himself, entangled in dreams? ’
Putting aside some confusion in her thoughts, Wan Jie came to Shengjia's temporary 'residence'. The remaining drops of slime on the desk indicate that the core of Shengjia was once here, but it was taken.
She didn't think that the priest and his students would be interested in an AI like Shengjia, nor did she think that Shengjia would be able to leave here on his own feet.
So, someone got in here and took her, or was it them?
As more and more thoughts poured into Wan Jie's mind, she began to hate why her head was not as good as before. Just as she was trying to sort out the mystery one after another, behind her left, a small noise came to her ears.
Looking in the direction where the sound came from, Wan Jie didn't find anything. Still, she trusted her ears. After all, if the eye is one of the organs that are most easily deceived, then the ear is certainly the least deceived.
After repeatedly scanning back and forth in the direction where the sound came from a few times, she finally found the dying William in the very inconspicuous blind spot.
This 'little sparrow', who has a good relationship with Shengjia, seems to have been subjected to inhuman treatment.
The twisted body and the wings that have been completely deformed all indicate that someone has done terrible things to him. You know, although Wan Jie herself has never liked small animals very much. However, when she saw the abuse and abuse that William had suffered, she still showed some sympathy.
"You don't look good."
Wan Jie wanted to reach out and pull William out of the crack in the wall, but found that the other party didn't seem to want her to do so.
"Don't be in vain... Strength... I know my situation... Thank goodness you woke up at the right time. I... Still thinking... If I wasn't there, I'd be too embarrassed to die. ”
William, who heard Wan Jie's voice, shook his beak a few times and slowly opened his eyes. Bird Bead, who was already completely engorged, seemed to be barely able to see anything, because the direction he was looking at now was exactly the opposite of where Wan Jie was standing.
"As a bird, you're already living a much more brilliant life than most of your kind."
Wan Jie uncharacteristically told a cold joke, which made William cough, probably because he wanted to laugh but couldn't.
After a series of intermittent coughs, William said with blood foaming at his mouth, "Quick... Go and save someone... If only there was still time..."
"I don't need to say it, I'll do it. Just until then, I hope you'll be able to hold on a little longer, even if you tell me any useful clues, it's excellent. ”
Wan Jie, who couldn't bear it, tore off the hem of her clothes and began to wipe the filth from her mouth for William. This thoughtful move moved William a lot, and it also made the scene sensational for a while.
They continued unaccustomed to each other, until William reopened: "I don't know when the priest left, but I suspect that his departure must have something to do with his student's resignation. All I can tell you now is what Fell, a traitor, did to Sainte. It is precisely because of this incident that Shengjia... She'll be... Punch me up. ”
"Did you her off?"
Throwing aside the wiped rags, Wan Jie looked at William with strange eyes and asked.
"I'm just saying she shouldn't go with another man, that's all."
William twisted his neck indignantly, only to see that his whole body was even more twisted due to the excessive force.
"You may have talked about her sore spots. Or maybe you are completely unaware of the ambiguity your words are provoking. In any case, I appreciate the information you have provided. ”
Wan Jie, who turned around and wanted to leave, was quickly stopped by William, so she added, it was a question.
"Anything else? If you're going to have a pretty grave, I'm afraid I'll have to finish it for you after I'm done with all this. ”
"No... I was just... I just think I can salvage it... Can you please hit me again? The harder the better. ”
When William said this, his body was already in a state of near collapse. But judging from his request and the subsequent conversation, it seemed very unusual.
Wan Jie could have left directly, but she cared about this very much. It's as if deep down in her heart, she also longs to know what will happen next. This very primitive impulse caused her to grab a thick book from the side and swatt it towards William like a fly.
With a 'chirp', as blood and feathers continued to flow from between the books and the walls, Wan Jie's heart actually surged a trace of ecstasy. She hadn't felt so comfortable for a long time, as if that long-lost feeling had returned to her.
It's a pity that this feeling only lasted for a few seconds, and it made her return to a 'normal person'.
Putting away the loss in her heart and trying to calm down, when she put down the blood-stained book, she saw a milky white figure flying out of the bird's beak, which had been completely shriveled.
It's a standard human soul, but why is it in the body of a bird? ’
Wan Jie didn't ask such a question in the end, because she felt that it might seem that she was less knowledgeable.
"Finally, free!"
William happily walked towards Wan Jie and tried to give her a warm hug. But in the end, he gave her a 'special experience' of a bucket of ice water to pour her head.
"Stay away from me, you uninteresting fellow."
Wan Jie, who threw away the 'murder weapon', wanted to try to push the other party away, but found that she couldn't do it at all, and she didn't need to. Because William quickly passed through her body and appeared behind her.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know I would be able to be a human again one day."
William raised his hands high and said with emotion. After noticing Wan Jie's disdainful eyes, he immediately changed his words and said, "At least there is a human form, isn't it?" ”
"I remember who urged me to save someone a few minutes ago?"
Wan Jie's words directly made William freeze in place. To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that he doesn't have a physical entity now, I'm afraid that his current face is probably as hot as a monkey's ass.
