Bang!

Bang!

Bang bang!

I couldn't tell if the heartbeat was mine or not, but the glowing things in the distance were becoming more and more obvious. All around, the rocks I was able to hold onto, and which I had been able to climb onto, began to loosen, and on several occasions, I almost fell.

I began to realize that the "stones" didn't seem to be what I had imagined.

"This is ...... There is a smell on it, it is their smell, here is ......" I stopped climbing for a while, and the flashlight tied to my head shone on the "rock" in front of me, and tiny traces appeared in my eyes, like the distribution of capillaries.

In my mind, I suddenly flashed to the withered monster on the stone tower.

In the body,

The monster's body?

Looking up, the light source in the distance was still flickering, the frequency perfectly matched the heartbeat I could hear.

The sound seemed to have a fatal attraction to me, and I didn't care where the place was, as if the flickering light source contained memories of me and Mina.

My fingers, digging into the monster's withered entrails, climbed upwards step by step.

The hands have long been worn out, the blood is flowing along the lines of the capillaries, and the sound of the heartbeat seems to have become more intense!

When I looked up, I suddenly found one, wrapped in something like withered vines, golden, glowing, shrinking flesh......

Sure enough, is it a heart?

It seemed to be the highest place to climb, and there was nothing but the beating golden heart. Every time it beats, it's like a call to me. I want to go over, but the place in front of me that I can crawl through with the strength of my strength is almost non-existent.

The nearest "vine" I was close to, about three meters away from me, and if I could turn and pounce, grab it, and climb along it, I should be able to get close to the golden heart.

But I'm almost exhausted, can I really make my body pop up three meters away?

The distance between it and me seems to be separated from the whole world at this moment.

I didn't dare to let go, fearing that if I let go, I would never have a chance to come back here. But how can I cross the distance of the whole world......

"You only have two hands, you can't grasp everything, and if you want to get more important things, you have to let go...... You don't even have the courage to give up comfort, why do you want to? On what basis do you say you deserve better? You're a coward, all your life! ”

Mina's voice, in my ears.

It seems like she used to say to me, I can't remember, why she said it to me.

"I've never been a coward. I'm not afraid of losing the comfort I have. What I'm afraid of is shattering my dreams with my own hands......" I breathed as I looked at the beating golden heart, "Will there be traces of you there?" ”

"Shattering dreams with your own hands? Afraid of failure? That's a coward, too. ”

Her voice reappeared, and she spoke to me.

Her words hit me straight to the heart.

"Are cowards damned?" I asked.

"Damn."

"You're going to hate people like that, aren't you?"

"yes, I feel disgusting."

"Understood." I clenched my hands tightly, the back of my hands bruised, and then I pushed my body away with all my might! In the air, I twisted my body to face the stout "vine......

At that moment,

I felt like I saw Mina's hand.

She was right there, holding me.

I grabbed the one as if it were her "vine".

"Hah...... Hahaha...... "I don't know if there will be traces of Mina and our memories here, but I actually jumped over."

I jumped over.

I lay on the "vine" and quietly listened to the golden heart beating, its frequency, always in line with my heart, and we all gradually became quiet, steady, and no more waves.

The heart was only an arm's length away from me, and in the midst of that "vine", I reached out to it, as if it was an action that was not controlled by my own brain, and the closer I got to it, the more I could feel something, like coming home.

Go home?

The sensation from the previous hallucination, suddenly appeared!

I remembered that the feeling of "going home" was the summoning of the monster in my dream.

Mina stopped it and told me she was in the tower.

But the direction she was pointing seemed to be......

Below.

The underside of this stone tower.

And not the top floor.

The moment I thought of this, my left hand suddenly felt a sense of touch, and I touched the heart, and it began to twitch violently with my touch!

There was a faint sound in my ears like the roar of a wild beast, and the "vines" beneath me began to shake, and then, it seems, the whole stone tower began to shake!

"Damn! What's going on, is it because I touched it? ”

I tried to withdraw my hand, but the heart seemed to be glued to mine, the flesh and skin had fused together, and it was impossible to separate them, so in desperation, I pulled out my dagger and prepared to forcibly separate them. But the heart was so tough that my dagger couldn't pierce it, let alone separate the flesh.

Then the only way is to cut yourself.

The scale of the tremor is getting bigger and bigger, and I have no room for hesitation, I can only stick to the palm of my hand, grit my teeth and cut the flesh, and at the same time the blood gushes out, there is also mucus, that kind of thing flows down with my blood, I am surprised that the amount of mucus is so much, has it filled my body!

But that's not the point!

The point is, I don't know if my heart began to tremble rapidly because of my blood or this mucus, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, it contracted rapidly, getting smaller and smaller, and began to gradually dry up!

I felt something cold burrowing through the gap in my palm.

At first, it was just cold in my palm, but soon, my body began to ache, like thousands of insects and ants gnawing at it!

"Uh...... Uhhh "The pain was unbearable and I screamed uncontrollably.

And the vibration of the stone tower has reached the extreme at this moment!

Rumble!!

With a loud bang, vines, stone towers, and monsters shriveled flesh ...... All around this collapsed! I lost my center of gravity and fell rapidly among the shards, and the golden heart was now gone.

……

The moment my body hit the ground, I experienced for the first time what it was like to be "broken", and I felt that at that moment, every muscle and bone in my body had been torn and broken, and it was a desperate pain. What's even more terrifying is that the flashlight tied to my head shines on the pieces of rubble falling from the sky.

They were in front of my eyes, completely drowning me in the ruins.

bang

bang

Bang......

My heartbeat, stopped.

Is what awaits me, or what I have been waiting for, death?

I really miss the moment I opened my eyes.

I wish I could open my eyes again.

……

Heaven seems to hear my prayers.

The light appeared.

Through the gap between my eyelids, it burrowed in and stimulated my vision.

At that moment, I was ecstatic. Is there no death, or is it heaven or hell? It doesn't matter, as long as I exist.

And in the blurred light, Guan Hao's face appeared immediately.
