Chapter 35: Harmony
After Rorschach broke away from the group, the three of Cornelia did not stop much and continued to hurry.
Maybe it's because of the thrilling fight before, or maybe it's because of their personalities, the three of them don't talk much.
Only when Cornelia, who was at the front with the map, stopped, did Lim and Elsa look up and ask, "What's wrong?" ”
"Hole in the ground." Cornelia's voice seemed to have a sense of urgency.
Hole?
Elsa and Lim hurried to Cornelia's side and looked ahead.
On the road in front of the three of them, a dark hole appeared in the ground, it was not wide, and it could only accommodate two people to jump into it at most.
Moreover, everything seems to be normal, and there is no weird atmosphere.
But all three were inexplicably uneasy.
"Go around it and move on." Lim whispered.
Elsa nodded, she didn't think it was reasonable to go into the cave and explore.
Preferably...... Leave it alone.
Cornelia looked at the two in silence, then raised her hand, pointed ahead, and said, "There is no way, this is the way." ”
What the?
Lim and Elsa both seemed surprised, and when they looked ahead, they saw a dense tree, with thorns between the trees, and there was no road at all.
This hole ...... It really seems to be moving on, the way to the temple.
"Then let's go in." Elsa said as she took the lead to go in.
She had no time to waste, Jason and his party were still trapped in the warehouse, and the patience of those monsters might have been worn out.
She couldn't imagine what would happen if the metal doors of the warehouse were breached.
Cornelia grabbed her and said, "Wait." ”
Elsa was stunned and turned her head to look at her.
"Tell me, your cotone level." Cornelia said strange things, but Elsa wasn't surprised.
The name of the Holy Maiden of the Church of Order is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Cornelia's attunement is only higher than hers, but the coherence level is not necessarily as high as hers, although ...... A high level of cohomology is not a good thing.
"Eight in tune." Elsa didn't hide it.
That's what she and Jason were born with, the plague......
"What about you?"
Cornelia turned to look at Limu.
Limu frowned, looking a little confused, "I don't understand what you're talking about. ”
"Heka Kingdom, court fighting." Cornelia's ice-blue eyes fell on Lim and she said, "You're deliberately avoiding martial arts. ”
Lim tightened, and the dagger was already tightly held in his hand.
He stared at Cornelia and said again, "I don't know what you're talking about. ”
Cornelia didn't say anything more.
She didn't seem to be interested in Limu's origin or purpose at all, but turned her head to look at the hole, and said, "Its limit is six in tune, and if you are five or more in harmony, you'll go crazy if you go in." ”
Lim gave Cornelia a deep look and whispered, "I don't know what you mean, I'm just an ordinary person. ”
Hearing this, Cornelia let go of the hand holding Elsa, "Let's go." ”
As she spoke, she pulled out the branch in front of her and walked towards the hole in the ground.
Elsa, who heard the conversation between Cornelia and Limu, seemed to understand what was coming, and glanced at Limu.
Want...... Kill them?
A cold light flickered in Limu's pupils.
He didn't want to make a fuss, but Cornelia's words just now directly touched the bottom line in his heart, which was caused by the mistake just now, and between life and death, it was impossible for him to completely hide his strength.
However, what he didn't expect at all was that the woman who looked stunned would actually recognize the court fighting techniques of the Heka Kingdom.
Lim's gaze followed the two until they jumped into the burrow.
No...... You can't kill them.
He needs witnesses, and only if witnesses are there can he become a real hero.
Not to mention...... The dilapidated and withered Church of Order does not necessarily have the same heart as Dulan.
The old duke, who was eloquent and ambitious, but had a very small heart, could not allow praise of God to spread in his territory.
The only remaining bishop of the Order Church may be the one who can cooperate......
Lim quietly let go of the dagger in his hand and jumped out of the hole with the two of them.
"Boom-"
After landing, Elsa closed her eyes, accustomed to the darkness of the cave for a moment, but when she opened her eyes again, she was frightened by what was in front of her.
There are embedded in the walls of the caves around them, not ...... It should be a strip...... Person?
Although Elsa is not a person who lacks the ability to express herself, she really can't find any words to describe the strange and terrifying scene in front of her.
The walls of the cave are densely packed with people twisted into a spiral.
Their chests are still going up and down, and they're still alive!
The eerie impact condensed into an indescribable madness in Elsa's eyes.
They...... Is it really still human?
No, at least they used to be human.
At this moment, they are dead embedded in the wall, their torso, limbs, joints, skin, and their whole body are twisted and distorted.
Only the head is a normal, living human face.
Just looking at their faces, these twisted people seem to be asleep, without a trace of pain.
The atmosphere of oppression, horror, grotesqueness, and evil permeates the cavern.
Cornelia, Limu, and Elsa were speechless for a moment.
These people ...... What's going on?
Some of their eyes were open and some were closed, but there was not the slightest sparkle in those eyes that were open.
They looked at each other lifelessly, their pupils dilated, gloomy and eerie.
"Vomit ......"
Elsa suddenly covered her mouth and retched.
She had seen many infected people, such as the dead Mrs. Green, or the murderer of Mrs. Green.
After all, the infected are the same creatures as her.
But these people in front of them ...... No.
They have been transformed and distorted by some strange force, and have ...... It can't be considered alive.
"These ...... What the hell is ......"
Elsa muttered.
Although she is a member of the Special Defense Department, she doesn't know many secrets.
She only knows that in the human community, there are a very small number of people who may have abnormal "diseases", and those "diseases" can make them do many unbelievable things.
That "disease" will give birth to another self in the heart, and the higher the level of harmony with the other "self", the more terrifying the power that can be possessed and used.
And after being completely in tune with the other "self", what awaits them will be complete madness.
Elsa and Jason also have another "self" in their hearts.
Their job is to eliminate the "aliens" in human society who have been completely in tune, until one day, they will be eliminated.
Are these in front of you also the existence of complete harmony?
Elsa shuddered, she could feel that these were the most ordinary people, they weren't sick at all.
Is there something...... forcibly distorted them.
