"This time, it's time to die, right?"

Xia Nan's voice was in my ears, distorted to the extreme.

I never dreamed that she would have a knife in her hand, the one I had before? But these questions don't seem to be that important anymore, the reality is that the blade is in my body at the moment, and then it was pulled out by Xia Nan violently, and then stabbed hard!

"The ...... Damn it, right? She asked me again.

I tried my best to push her apart, but I could no longer support my body and fell to one knee.

The sharp pain in my abdomen, and the fear of death, made me feel limp.

My hand grabbed like it was in the dark, as if it had caught someone, I don't know if it was Xia Nan or Yao Qianwen, she shook me off, and then stepped on my collapsed body and fled behind me.

The sound of running footsteps, farther and farther away, more and more indistinct.

I felt the warm blood flowing beneath me, a shout in my ears, a light shining on me, but the damn consciousness was too numb to accurately transmit this information to me, it struck, and my consciousness fell into endless darkness.

Is this what it feels like to die?

I don't want to die yet......

I haven't found Mina yet.

What exactly is my lost memory?

Why did I lose her?

Now she is a corpse in the forensic center, or the person who accompanied me for a month and finally left inexplicably!

Mina, where the hell are you?

This is when I was at the end of my confusion, at the last thought.

……

"Mina......!" I don't know how long it took for me to shout.

Open your eyes!

But the world in front of me is difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction, and I seem to be still in the cave before, but in this world where there should be no light, I can see everything very clearly. I tried to hold up my body, but it was still weak, "This is, where am I dead?" ”

At this moment, there is no Yao Qianwen or Xia Nan by my side.

And I was surprised to find that my body was very clean and there was no blood.

That's impossible.

If my memory is not wrong, Xia Nan's first knife is very fierce and powerful, and after the piercing, it is immediately cut horizontally, and my entire abdomen is cut open by her!

So, this is a pre-death hallucination?

But the illusion was too long, and I felt like I had been walking through the tunnel for a long time.

But I had to go down again, and I heard a voice, right at the end of the tunnel. It was as if something was calling to me, and it wasn't the first time I had heard it, as if it had been rooted in my head for a long time.

In a trance, I seemed to remember that it was the laughter that had appeared in my head before.

But that's not laughing......

So what is it exactly?

It was getting closer, and I saw the fork in the tunnel at the end. This time there were three forks in the road, and the voice appeared at the entrance on the far right. I walked in and continued to move forward, I could still hear it, it seemed to have a kind of magic, I couldn't resist it, and even felt that it was not so important whether the place in front of me was real or illusory, and finding the source of that sound was the most important thing for me to do at this moment.

So, in the criss-crossing labyrinthine lines, I followed the sound, step by step to a certain point.

I felt the labyrinth keep sloping downward, and at the end of the tunnel in front of me, a hole appeared. Walking into it, the road ahead disappeared, and in its place was a cliff, and in front of the cliff was an incomparably empty and huge space, and under the cliff, there was a dense and shiny thing.

In the center of this huge empty space, there is a column-shaped boulder, extremely high, like a tower, a mass of fleshy, the body is full of dense tentacles, coiled on the stone tower, the body of the flesh is drummed together, like a huge beating heart!

And that thing that makes a sound, that's it.

It also seemed to sense my presence, and on its body, countless tentacles extended towards me on the side of the cliff, forming a bridge made of flesh.

"Giggle......!" It made an eerie loud noise.

A tentacle split from the bridge of flesh, slowly extending towards me, wrapping around my waist, dragging me onto the bridge.

The moment I was entangled, my fear, my surprise, completely disappeared, replaced by a feeling of home.

It's been a long time since I've experienced that warmth.

At that moment, I even felt that death was not so fearful, everything in this world seemed so worthless, and there was nothing for me to be nostalgic for.

Only that lump of meat!

Close to it, in harmony with it, I am who I am, and I am the ultimate perfection.

But just as I was pulled by the tentacles to the middle of the meat bridge, a voice suddenly appeared on the other side of the bridge, on the edge of the cliff.

Smash all these illusory feelings!

"Zoraku"

She called my name.

It was a familiar voice to me, a voice I had lost.

Mina's voice.

I twisted my stiff neck and looked back at her, but I couldn't see anything, there was no one on the other side of the cliff.

"Giggle......!!" The sound of the mass of flesh became manic, and the tentacles that tugged at me were no longer gentle, and it pulled me so hard that it almost broke my waist.

But I know I can't go there.

She was reminding me that it had to be Mina.

My hands grasped the flesh touch that was wrapping around me, and with all my might, split it in two! Clear slime splashed all over me, just like that pool, just like those monsters! My belly tumbled over, I struggled to break free, and then ran back.

Sensing that I wanted to escape, the mass of flesh withdrew from the bridge of flesh, and I fell from a great height and fell heavily to the ground.

I felt real pain, and it was heartbreaking.

But I wasn't dead, and I saw the glittering things under the towers that coiled around the flesh, and they were translucent eggs. Among them were twisted insects, which were dancing at me through their eggs, and seemed to be about to break out of their shells and devour me in the next moment!

I tried to escape, but suddenly Mina's voice reappeared, in the direction of the tower.

I turned to look, but she was already face to face with me, and our faces were almost on the line.

"Zora, you're here."

"Nana...... Really, yes, is that you? I grabbed her by the shoulders.

She smiled at me, as she had done before, softly.

But my hands moved uncontrollably from her shoulders to her neck, I shook my head, trying to resist, I don't know what happened to me, my hands didn't seem to be mine anymore, they actually ...... actually grabbed Mina's neck and began to exert force!

"No, that's not right...... What's going on?! Mina, Mina! ”

Her neck began to bleed, blood running down my hand, staining the dress red, and her neck was pinched by me to the thickness of her wrists, pinched until her eyes bulged out, and her seven holes were bleeding.

But she was still smiling.

"Zora, don't forget that you want to find me, where you lost me, find me."

"I know, but you're ...... Right in front of me, but I couldn't help it...... I don't want to kill you, I don't want to! "I couldn't control the force of my hands.

"I'm not here, I'm here." Mina raised her hand with difficulty, pointing to the tower behind her, where it was below.

"No...... No! ”

I yelled no, but the picture in front of me began to blur rapidly, the light became dark, Mina's face was also distorted, she was no longer Mina, but Yao Qianwen who grabbed my wrist in pain and begged for mercy.

"Live...... Stop, save ...... Help ......"

At that moment, I regained control of my hands and let go of my hands in a panic, Yao Qianwen knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, and I stepped back step by step.

This is not the place it was, there are no towers, no giant lumps of meat coiled.

I was still in the tunnel before, and the flashlight that Xana had left on the ground provided the light to make me see everything in front of me.

Is it really a hallucination?

Wait, if that's an illusion, then ......

I slowly lowered my head and looked at my abdomen.

My clothes were stained red with blood, and I slowly lifted up the torn clothes, and the bloody and fatal wounds, like stingers, pierced my eyes!
