Chapter 392: The God of Desire (I)
The city of Itan fell into chaos and winter, more and more people contracted strange diseases, and the destruction of boilers and heating caused the city to fall into an extremely cold situation, and dozens of people froze to death overnight, and several families were poisoned by burning coal because of ignorance and cold.
The next day, firewood from the market was looted, and a large number of citizens poured out of Itan City, cutting down the nearby snow maple forest, but after only a week's support, it was exhausted, and people began to demolish houses and public buildings to make fires or cooks.
Panic pervades the city, as some people become unscrupulous because of the disappearance of the Temple Rites and the Templars, and at first, it was just robbery, and on the eighth day, a family of three in the east of the city was killed in the house, and the hostess was insulted before her death, which completely plunged the city into chaos.
Families were closed, gunshots rang out in the streets, the original granary was ablaze in a chaos, food was burned, and soon several shops in the city were looted, and food began to run short.
They began to slaughter ice bears, kill camels, and go out in search of fruit and food, but the less food they ate, the people began to practice making fires and cooking, because the aroma of food would surely attract hordes of mobs.
Helen carefully locked the door and rushed into the room, looking at Bart and her sister Agatha lying on the bed, Helen's sister Agatha had also contracted the strange disease, and after only three days, she had lost her former vitality like a female leopard.
In three days, Agatha had changed from a young girl to a fifty-year-old man, approaching the gradual completion of the demonic sacrifice ritual, and the power of the curse was eroding faster and faster, and it would have taken more than ten days to age, but now five days was enough to make people die.
The hospital has long been closed, and as for the patients inside, they don't need to think about it to know what the outcome is, and most of the patients who fell ill later were just waiting to die at home.
The streets and houses were littered with corpses, sick to death, frozen to death, or killed in the chaos, darkness and death, enveloping the sky of the entire city of Itan, the smell of decay and stench filled the streets, and even scavenging birds from afar began to hover over the city of Itan, and some people began to flee from the city of Itan, but most people knew that their end was likely to be death on the way.
In a short period of time, the city of Etan seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell on earth.
"Bart! Agatha! Look, I've got food! ”
Helen took out two maple fruits, the unripe kind, but at this time in Etan City, panic had been pervading for ten days, and the food was enough to make people crazy.
"Agatha! Agatha, you eat! You eat and see, it's very ......."
Helen put one into Bart's hand, and then sat next to Agatha, holding her sister, obviously Helen is a sister, but at this moment Agatha is aging like Helen's mother, Helen wants to feed her, but Agatha, who is weak and seems to have only one breath left, shook her head.
"No need, sister, my illness can't be cured, I ...... I'm going to die! ”
Agatha looked at her sister with despair in her eyes: "Don't waste food!" Leave me alone! ”
Helen still supported Agatha, and even chewed the maple leaf fruit, and fed Agatha little by little to eat it before she felt at ease.
At this moment, Bart was also consumed by the seal of the saint's soul power gradually dissipated, the whole person is weakened and there is no difference between the cursed person, but the spirit is not bad, he is trying every way to block the power of the seal of the saint, but it is still inevitable to die, it only takes a few days, his soul will completely dissipate.
But he also knew that in just a few days, the gate of the abyss would be opened, and then he would be able to recover completely, and he would be able to go one step further and have more power to become a powerful demon baron in the abyss.
Bart chewed and ate the maple fruit with all his might, and suddenly looked at Helen at this time: "Helen, why don't you eat it?" ”
Helen looked at Bart and said, "I'll wait again, you can eat first!" ”
Bart reacted suddenly: "No, only two?" Don't have any food? ”
Helen was speechless: "I'm fine!" ”
Bart instantly fell silent, and for some reason, it was as if a light poured out of Helen's body, illuminating the whole room, illuminating his ugliness and hatred, and making him feel his skin hurt from the light.
On the fourteenth day Helen fell ill.
There were three sick people in the house, Bart lying on the bed in the corner, and Helen holding Agatha on another large bed, and the three were silent, as if waiting for death in silence.
Agatha's aging head was gray, like an eighty-year-old grandmother, her skin was covered with brown patches, hanging on the bones, looking intimidating, and Helen didn't mind holding her, but at this moment, Agatha seemed to be unable to speak, only her last breath was hanging, and she could die at any time.
"Agatha! Don't be afraid! Sister accompanies you, sister...... Sister ......"
"My sister will always protect you!"
Speaking of this, Helen, who had a smile on her face, didn't know why, couldn't say any more, tears continued to flow down from her eyes, dripped down her collar, and hugged Agatha deadly.
When night came, Agatha suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Helen, who was weakly propped up and looked at Agatha.
"Sister, I see the light, I seem to see another world, I ......"
"Mom...... Mom came to pick me up, and Abba, and ...... And ......" Agatha's voice was hoarse and harsh as if her fingers had scraped over a template, but her words brought tears to her eyes.
Agatha let go of the hand holding Helen and tilted her head and fell into Helen's arms, Helen looked at this scene, trembling violently, as if there was no moment to give her such a big impact, there was no unexpected death of her father, nor did she die of illness, but only Agatha, Agatha is his everything, as long as Agatha is there, she is happy.
Helen wailed like a child, desperately holding Agatha's corpse, tears streaming down her face.
Bart looked at Helen in her arms at this moment, lying in the dark corner of the room, her jaw trembling, turning her head away and not daring to look at this scene, he was afraid to see Helen's eyes, afraid to hear her voice, afraid to see her crying and desperate.
And at this moment, suddenly, the beads that Helen carried on her chest bloomed with a blue light, like the ocean and the current, filling the room.
Bart immediately turned his head and looked at Helen and the shining beads, and suddenly remembered a legend.
"The Orb of Dinah, the legendary Orb of Wishes!"
Bart immediately saw that Agatha, who was held in Helen's arms, the demons and curses that were originally shrouded in her body were dispelled little by little, and the body was gradually full of vitality, and the originally depleted body became full little by little, the skin began to become actinized, and the hair became the original red.
"It turns out that the legend is true!"
Bart got up from the bed little by little, watched Agatha recover little by little, asked for the curse from the Abyss Demon Lord, regained her health, and Agatha, who was obviously completely dead, came back to life again.
"The power to bring the dead back to life, the power to really bring the dead back to life, is even more magical than the resurrection!"
Helen looked at Agatha floating in the blue light in a daze, and the moment she fell, she instantly caught her, hugging her as if she were holding the whole world, for fear that he would accidentally pass through her arms again.
Bart said to Helen, "Let's send Agatha out together, only by leaving here can she survive, as long as she stays in the city, she will be cursed again, and when the gate of the abyss opens, everyone in the city will die!" ”
Helen looked at Bart in a daze, not understanding what the person she rescued was talking about, Bart looked at Helen's eyes, and her originally vicious and hideous face became soft at this moment: "Believe me, only in this way can we save Agatha's life!" ”
