Chapter 56: The Sealed Crystal Coffin
Rin was a little speechless by the scene in front of her, which was what caused the entire hospital to fall into a strange labyrinth and trapped them here...... Behind this?
How much can a person who sleeps quietly and has no vital signs?
Rin couldn't believe it, but she couldn't argue with the real scene in front of her.
At this moment, another drop of water dripped from the sharp spot that was already almost at the lower end of the crystal.
The pale red liquid, each drop is like a highly concentrated essence extracted from this crystal, viscous, slowly at the bottom of the crystal, which is enough to be called the terminal place, gradually accumulates, and then falls faintly.
'Tick-'
The long-standing drop of water finally fell, and the scene fell into the eyes of Rin and Talos like a slowed slide.
But the subtle sound that should have been crisp and not even too noticeable was now as if it had been amplified countless times, and in addition to being harsh, it was also echoing in this huge and empty space.
Like the echo of the valley, it can't be stopped for a long time.
Rin Rin almost subconsciously helplessed her ears, and half-squatted on the ground with a painful face.
It wasn't because the presence of this sound made her miserable, but because of the reverberating reverberation, like the chirping of thousands of insects in her ears, flapping their wings, gnawing, and even hissing.
Not only does it make the body feel uncomfortable, but what is even more annoying is the rhythm of this kind of mental attack.
However, such a voice did not seem to have any effect on Talos, he just had an expression of no idea what was happening, and watched Rin lie on his knees in pain, his hands holding his head deadly.
Around Talos, who is usually dull, he reacted immediately.
Looking at the round mirror under the huge crystal in front of me, it trembled from the fall of water droplets, and the sound kept echoing. Talos stepped forward, and almost without hesitation, landed a heavy punch.
The fist slammed into the mirror, and the liquid that had accumulated on it splattered everywhere. It even dyed Talos's fair arms red.
But even so, the mirror itself has not changed in the slightest, and even the half-split marks have not appeared.
The sound that continued to spread with the air flow around him still had no intention of stopping. The strength of Talos's fist increased, but he relied on his brute force alone, crushing down the round mirror under his hand.
The ground under the round mirror has obvious signs of depression, and the originally solid cement floor has begun to splash fine stones due to squeezing.
Let it be a mirror and be strong, will it be difficult or not bad?
Talos struggled with all his strength, but his wrist suddenly turned, thinking that the metacarpal bone on the back of his hand was the focus point, and he poured all his strength into it.
I don't know if it's because the solid metacarpal bones are pressed and make a crisp sound, or if the mirror under the fist is not so powerful.
A crackling sound erupted, and then it was out of control.
The crisp sound of cracks kept coming from under Talos's fist, embossed on the mirrors of flowers, the cracks went from small to large, from deep to shallow, and crackled like the surface of ice scorched by the sun on a spring day.
The petals shattered irregularly, and the reflections in the mirrors distorted as the cracks appeared.
'Smack-'
A piercing cracking sound suddenly came out, and with that shattering sound, the waterdrop track that had been echoing here was interrupted and quickly disappeared.
The shattered mirror was sunken into the surface, and the pale red liquid that had been stored on it became deep and intense in an instant. From the original translucent pale red, it is transformed into a touch of crimson.
As...... Blood.
The red liquid splattered everywhere, including Talos's face. But he didn't care, just wiped it casually with the back of his hand.
And as the sound stopped, Rin Rin slowly let go of the ears he had been covering as if he had been saved, leaned back like a loss of strength, and sat on the ground gasping for breath.
“…… I thought I was going to be deaf. Rin calmed her breath, still a little afraid of the sound.
It was a kind of sound that gradually seeped through the ears and gradually penetrated all parts of the body, like a hundred bones of the limbs.
Previously, because of the relatively long distance, when the sound of water droplets came from this empty room, when they arrived in the space where they were, it was basically the most basic and single rhythm left after filtering out a lot of spiritual power and impurities.
Now face to face, listening to the voice coming from such a close distance, Rin only felt that he had experienced a lot of dangerous things, and if it wasn't for Talos, this little life would have almost ended here.
"Rin, are you alright?" Talos got up and walked towards Rin.
At the same time, he carefully rubbed the red liquid on his fingers on his pants. Although it is unbearable for his clothes to be soiled in terms of his cleanliness, it is better to just have dirty pants than to let this unknown colored liquid probably stain his skin.
After all, the pants were dirty in the first place, but Rin kept staring at her and wouldn't let him take them off.
"I'm fine, it's just better for you to speak quietly." Rin frowned, but grabbed the hand that Talos was reaching out to her, struggling to stand up.
In fact, Talos's voice was not high, cold and somewhat condensed. It's just that although the surroundings have quieted down, there are still some lingering sounds in Rinrin's ears that have not yet dissipated, and there is always a voice buzzing in her head.
Talos moved his mouth, and was about to say 'um', but after seeing Rinrin's still uncomfortable look, he closed his mouth in amusement, and nodded obediently instead.
"Talos, what the hell is that?" Rin came back to her senses for a moment, looking at the shattered mirror of Tarus not far ahead.
"I don't know now, but I don't think it's that simple here." As he spoke, Talos looked at his hand, and the red marks were still faintly there.
However, just as the two were talking, there was a sudden 'gurgling' sound behind them like boiling water.
The blisters go from boiling to rising, then bursting, boiling, tumbling. In this room that had just been quiet, there was another wave of restlessness.
Rin quickly noticed the source of the voice, and immediately raised her hand and pointed upward, "Talos, turn back!" ”
Looking in the direction of their fingers, they saw that the remaining liquid in the huge crystal was burning and boiling just as they had just heard.
As the pale red liquid transformed into a deep crimson, it no longer dripped downward, but evaporated, forming a thick stream of water vapor throughout the crystal, floating upwards and quickly filling the entire crystal pillar.
The woman who floated peacefully inside, wrapped in this cloud of steam, her pale face gradually dyed with a faint flush.
The whole person seems to have been suddenly given life, as if he has the color of blood that he should be a human being.
The red liquid that originally covered half of her body was absorbed into her body by the woman due to high temperature distillation, but it became less and less at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, just after the red liquid had completely disappeared. The long-haired woman who was originally standing in it, like being sealed, suddenly opened her eyes at this moment!
As the dark blue eyes opened violently, the huge crystal that sealed her in it also vibrated violently at this moment.
The five stone pillars in the room, as if they were secretly competing with them, suddenly tightened the chains, trying to forcibly seal her inside.
But the woman opened her eyes, and then the long fingers began to move slowly. Then the feet, then the arms, and finally the whole body gradually regained its mobility.
Finally, the five slender chains could no longer restrain them.
One, two, three......
The sound of chains being broken came one after another. The woman in the crystal stared almost angrily at the chains around her, and at the strange and empty environment around her.
"Talos, I, should we stop her from coming out?"
Rin Rin looked at the scene that was happening almost quickly in front of her, although her mind didn't have time to react. However, she always had a hunch that this woman who was sealed in the crystal was by no means a good person.
And the liquid that flowed from her crystal before was most likely mixed with all the spiritual power and blood in her body.
Originally, the blood mixed with spiritual power was dripping down, and it should be used to fill the relief flowers located below.
But because of Talos's punch, it obviously destroyed a certain technique here. Or a special kind of psychic that is in progress, which takes a long time to complete.
Now, the spiritual power has returned to the blood, and it has all returned to the woman's body, so that she has been reawakened.
Although the matter has come to this point, it is impossible to judge the right and wrong of all this. But whether it was to let the blood nourish all the flowers in the mirror, or to let this woman wake up, in Rinrin's always sharp and accurate intuition, it had been decided that between the two might not be a good thing.
"Do you want to stop it?"
Seeing that Rin Rin wasn't completely determined, Talos just asked rhetorically.
“…… Perhaps, it's too late. ”
It's no wonder that Rin Rin is stammering a little at the moment, but looking at the scene in front of him, the five chains have all been broken by the woman in the crystal.
With a roar that was almost like a roar, the huge crystal in front of him exploded!
The moment the crystal exploded, countless fragments mixed with the wind speed struck fiercely.
Talos quickly hugged Rin, defenseless, using only his back to block the flying debris.
Like ice crystals scattered all over the ground, there was a crisp sound of 'crackling'.
Talos shielded Rin, and a dodge quickly dodged behind a nearby square rock.
I saw that the woman in front of her was still floating in mid-air after breaking away from the seal of the crystal, her long black hair barely reaching her ankles, and she was still floating behind her in this space where there was no trace of wind at all.
Glancing angrily, he glanced at everything around him.
