Chapter 196: Ember
"No, no...... No!! β
Extreme fear robbed Zhuo Xuan of what little reason he had left, and also drained what little courage he had left.
The crying voice dissipated in the wind, and did not penetrate into the ears of Fang Ting, who was staggering towards the bathroom. Her figure slowly became smaller, turned around, and disappeared in the moment of Zhuo Xuan's sight, as if taking away the last trace of his strength.
The gentle sunlight shone down on the young man, and he sat on the cold floor, frightened, his eyes split, and trembling as if he had been thrown into the abyss.
Why is this happening?
Why did the same thing happen in front of my eyes again?
Falling into despair again and again, do we have to make the wrong choice, and then we can only face the future by escaping and spend the rest of our lives by deception?
It's a beast!!
This strange name hit Zhuo Xuan's head like lightning, and there seemed to be a war drum ringing in his ears, causing him to unconsciously let out a low roar, and then he stood up!
Still trembling, but the remaining courage was like a thick arm that grabbed the last straw that crushed him!
"Fang Tingββ!!"
Zhuo Xuan frantically called out the name of the figure, hoarse, as if something was rushing out of his body, giving people the courage to look at death as if they were at home.
At the moment when Zhuo Xuan rushed towards the direction where Fang Ting's figure disappeared, suddenly, the surrounding scene once again became as blurred as a mist!
He stopped in a daze, and in front of him, the short distance of a few meters was infinitely stretched, making him lose his way. Such a strange scene made Zhuo Xuan's eyes widen, and before he could realize anything, the air became so hot that in an instant, a little bead of sweat oozed from the pores of his body......
Again.
The vision slowed down like a movie, and Zhuo Xuan only felt that his lower body seemed to be being dragged by something, and it was moving away from Fang Ting's direction.
A pair of large hands imprisoned his body, and he wanted to scream, but his throat stinged as if it was smoky, as if it was torn, and all he could make was a grunt.
"Hurry up! If you don't go anymore, the gas will blow up! β
A shout exploded in his ears like thunder, and Zhuo Xuan raised his eyelids with difficulty, only to see a figure wearing a firefighter suit with a blurred face quickly passing by him.
Yes.
Back to that day.
A hint of clarity flashed in Zhuo Xuan's eyes, and he closed his eyes tightly and began to struggle frantically. But the hands that held him in prison were like shackles and clamped his body, making it impossible for him to break free!
The air became more and more dull, and in the black smoke environment, Zhuo Xuan, who had fallen to the ground, opened his eyes suddenly, and a smell of blood rushed to his nose, and the feeling of being firmly bound disappeared.
Just when Zhuo Xuan wanted to continue to move his steps, suddenly, he noticed the lower half of himself. Body!
Empty!
It was like a long trail of blood dragged out of the body that had been cut in half, and the smell of blood was burning. The hot air became more and more irritating and unbearable, and the dull senses were dominated by the sudden sensation of pain, which also caused the young man who was about to tear his eyes to cry out in frenzy......
"Ahhhββ!!hh
The intense pain made Zhuo Xuan's cry extremely fierce, and the long blood stain turned black in the blink of an eye. Behind him, two firefighters in orange firefighting suits faded away, one of them still holding his waist tightly on his shoulders. The legs of the body were dripping with blood, and the flesh and blood were blurred, but they were unconscious.
This scene is extremely weird, like purgatory, filling Zhuo Xuan's vision, his face is pale, his lips have lost their blood, maybe the surrounding environment is fierce, more like pain, bean-sized beads of sweat are like rain.
The image before me became blurred, and in the smoky, flame-scorched vista, a small figure stood blankly, holding a broken doll in its hand. When she looked around and found Zhuo Xuan, who was about to lose consciousness and crawl towards her with difficulty, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had recovered her vitality since then, and ran towards Zhuo Xuan.
Fang Ting slowed down and squatted lightly beside Zhuo Xuan, as if she didn't see the cruel scene of Zhuo Xuan being cut off, let alone realizing that Zhuo Xuan was already in a desperate situation, she just said to herself gently: "Zhuo Xuan, do you regret it?" β
Do you regret it?
Every moment since then, Zhuo Xuan has not been in a mood of regret, but when things can no longer be repaired, he has to weave a lie to escape.
How dare such a cowardly act be praised by others?
Zhuo Xuan struggled to lift his eyelids, his lips were dry from the scorching flames, and the sweat on his face kept pouring out, taking away the moisture from his body.
He stared at the girl in front of him, the childish face that overlapped with the image in his memory, and suddenly squeezed out an ugly smile: "I regret it." β
"It's you who it wants to kill, but I'll go for you," Fang Ting's eyes were a little lonely, "You owe me." β
"I owe you ......" Zhuo Xuan muttered and repeated, and then a clear look flashed in his eyes, and a relieved smile naturally bloomed on his face, "Then now, I don't owe you anymore." I paid it off. β
As the words fell, the young man's head slammed into the charred ground, and the sparkle in his eyes gradually dissipated. The flames crackled and burned like a giant mouth devouring them in their direction.
The smell of burning protein began to fill the air, which was disgusting.
The girl looked at the burning figure in front of her, quietly, she stared at him as if she were staring at a dead tombstone, and sighed suddenly. With this sigh, her body seemed to be blown away by the sudden wind, shattering into bits of ash.
β¦β¦
Snap your eyes open.
The flame-swept streets exude extremely high temperatures, and the burning houses are like a towering hell.
Alice, whose expression was distorted, shook Zhuo Xuan's body frantically, until the latter opened his eyes, then stopped his movements and exclaimed in surprise: "You finally woke up!" β
With a buzzing in his head, Zhuo Xuan sat up straight, he swept around blankly, and also swept Alice's tired and embarrassed face, and the strange face in his hand. The sense of things made him unconsciously cast his gaze, which was a tricky dagger "magic spear".
The sharpshooter has returned to its normal size.
Zhuo Xuan suddenly remembered the last scene, Fang Ting and himself turned into embers, but I don't know why, I returned to the real world.
According to the Black Watch's description of the strange creature "Nightmare Eye", when the Chosen One is lost in the Nightmare Eye, then he should never wake up again.
"I'm really scared you'll never wake up again," Alice smiled reluctantly, no longer thinking of joking, and seemed to cry with joy, something transparent rolled down the corner of her eye, dripping down her dirty cheeks.
