Chapter 42: Lullaby
"I see. This guy's real body is an aggregate of countless resentful spirits gathered on the basis of a rag doll, as for the body that can bleed, it is just an organic matter artificially put together with different corpse fragments, and the only use is to protect the rag doll. Cassius read the magical constructs of this difficult foe.
Now that the shell used to protect the ragdoll no longer exists, there is only one thing to do.
Cassius used the ice again to immobilize his immobile left leg and limped over to the ragdoll. But he had just taken a few steps when he suddenly felt something kick at his feet. Cassius looked down and saw that it was the "Grip of Endurance", the magic wand he had accidentally lost in the haunted house.
Now that the Assist Staff has returned, there is no need for Cassius to get too close to cast his magic, and at this distance, it is still enough to freeze the ragdoll to pieces.
But just as Cassius was injecting magic into the "Endurance Grip", a thought suddenly rose in his mind: you must not attack it!
"Huh?" Cassius paused, the magic injected into his wand drastically reduced.
He suddenly remembered that when he was in the haunted house, even if he had encountered this rag doll many times, he had never wanted to attack it, and it seemed that the first impression of this rag doll on Cassius was absolutely inviolable......
"Put away your psychological hints!" Cassius snorted.
The wraith that whispered in his ear slipped away in fright.
Without those boring obstacles, Cassius was convinced, and he accelerated the magic power into his magic wand, but when the ice ball with the disintegrating cold was about to shoot out, the ice ball suddenly disappeared.
"What?" Cassius was taken aback.
He knew that the reason why the hockey ball disappeared was not because of his inner wavering or any psychological suggestion, but because of the interference of the outside world. At this time, the chaotic elemental reaction in the surrounding air just confirmed Cassius's guess.
"The stars in the sky shine brightly;
That's an angel beckoning.
Baby's sleep is sweet;
Grow wings and fly to heaven......"
Just when Cassius was at a loss, a well-known lullaby suddenly came to his ears. The song is so serene and calm, listening to it, it feels like returning to swaddling clothes, snuggled in the arms of your mother, groggy and comfortable......
What is it!
Cassius suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and he used freezing air to forcibly stimulate his pain nerves to bring him to his senses.
"It's so dangerous, I was almost hypnotized by the enemy. Once he had settled down, Cassius began to look around and discovered the source of the lullaby.
On a rock about 10 meters away from the rag doll, a tall young woman sat sideways on it. She held a baby in her arms, gently patted the swaddling clothes that wrapped the baby, looked at the baby in her arms with a smile and warmth, and sang this lullaby that had been praised for thousands of years in a very gentle and gentle tone.
She is not an illusion or an illusion, but a real entity.
The young woman did not look at Cassius or speak to him, but sang to the baby in her arms. But the lullaby's singing, after reaching Cassius's ears, turned into normal words.
"Stop there, can you?" was the lullaby's message in Cassius's head.
Cassius knew, of course, that the young woman was interceding on behalf of the rag doll, or rather the true body of Sariktin, the "Nether Corridor." But how could Cassius say yes?
"No!" Cassius flatly refused, "How can such a guy be so easy to hurt and kidnap Sophia, and also to involve all the innocent people in the vicinity?"
"Please. Once again, the lullaby translated into actual language in Cassius's mind, "They are all poor people who have died with great grievances, because their resentment and unwillingness are too strong to be reincarnated normally, and they can only wander in this world as lonely ghosts, and that rag doll is their only place to live, and if they are destroyed, they will be homeless." ”
"Stop quibbling!" Cassius replied again, "I don't believe that a group of geymers could carry out such an organized, targeted attack, and that someone must be behind them. You're not the one behind the scenes, are you?"
"Yes or no, and what if?"
"If you were the one who hurt my companion, I would be unkind to you. ”
As soon as these words came out, the lullaby came to an abrupt end. Everything was so sudden that Cassius wasn't even mentally prepared to stop communicating.
When the lullaby stopped, the baby in the young woman's arms immediately woke up, and let out a childish but terrible cry.
"Ah...... How come?"
The baby's cry seemed to turn into an invisible spear that pierced Cassius's eardrums, and Cassius felt a splitting headache and crouched down with his head in his hands.
"Sure enough, she's an enemy!" Cassius struggled through the pain and straightened up with his wand.
Ben Ben didn't attack immediately because the other party was holding a baby, but now it seems that this baby is not a normal person, no, that strange baby should be this woman's attack weapon. Although Cassius had already experienced a great battle and was seriously wounded, he had no choice in the face of the enemy. Without mercy, Cassius waved his magic wand and fired an ice arrow at the young woman who was holding the baby.
However, Cassius's body froze, leaning forward with one hand in his wand, as if frozen in ice, and his magic remained condensed, neither growing nor dissipating.
Now Cassius couldn't move at all, he couldn't even move his eyes, he could only stare straight ahead.
The young woman slowly raised her head, and her face, full of the word "poignant", revealed anger that could not be hidden.
"Po" - the wand fell to the ground, but Cassius's left hand kept holding the wand tightly and did not let go, even though it left his body.
A stream of blood arrows erupted from the severed wound in his left wrist.
When did the enemy cut off his hand?Cassius was at a loss, but before he could react, Cassius suddenly felt his body lose balance.
His right foot, which he used to support his body, was also cut off entirely.
Cassius only felt his body tilt to the side, but he didn't cut to the ground. He suddenly felt his body lighten, and the whole sky, the ground, the nearby villages, and the distant woods were constantly turning and turning.
No, it was not the heavens and the earth that were spinning, but his head, for he saw one of the images of his own body lying on its side on the ground with its head lost.
Eventually, the head that was spinning in the air by inertia also landed.
Before his brain stopped moving due to lack of oxygen, Cassius opened his eyes and looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, and the soft lullaby sounded in his ears again:
"The stars in the sky shine brightly;
That's an angel beckoning.
Baby's sleep is sweet;
Grow wings and fly to heaven......"
