Chapter 40: Earthworms
"How can this be...... "Takegami Yuki said without being stunned, "Wait, sister, if these tasks are caused by a curse, then, is my sister's disappearance also part of the curse?" ”
Hearing Takegami Yuki's words, An Lingxian was stunned for a moment.
Her home is far away, and the distance between her and Dark Raven Ridge is extremely far. However, she was affected by this curse and was transferred to the village alive.
She never thought about it. Now that she suddenly realized this possibility, she suddenly felt creepy.
She suddenly understood that what she had just said that if this continued, this curse would cover the whole world sooner or later, it was simply wrong. Because, the curse has spread everywhere.
I know that twenty years ago, there was a strange incident in which all the living people in the business circle disappeared overnight. She also knew that the director of the psychiatric hospital was a foreigner.
It was a distant country that spanned the entire earth, but the people there were also affected.
"I ...... How did I disappear back then? ”
An Lingxian looked at Yukino Takekami, and asked with a somewhat pale face.
"I didn't know, I was too young at that time. Sister, haven't your memories been restored yet? ”
"Most of them recovered, but I can't remember what happened before and after the disappearance."
An Lingxian frowned and thought hard.
"I was like ...... Deceived by a man who left the house with him...... When I woke up one day, I found myself fainting in the mountains and forests of Raven Ridge...... No, it's not! An Lingxian's eyes widened instantly, "Man? No, there doesn't seem to be such a person...... I was never deceived, I just lived peacefully, but one day I was suddenly transferred to the Raven Ridge ......"
She remembered, all of them.
There is no man with any rhetoric at all, and her life has always been peaceful.
She was simply chosen by "that power" and teleported to Raven Ridge. Then, her memory was erased.
As for her family, her memory has also been tampered with, and she mistakenly believes that she ran away from home with a man.
"I ...... Why me? The answer to this question, I think, I already know. ”
An Lingxian muttered.
From a very young age, she showed a special ability.
The ability to perceive one's own family's situation.
No matter how far away she is, she can sense the location and condition of her family. If they were in danger, she would immediately recognize them.
And the young Yukino Takegami is completely different from other children. He was able to sense a strange fluctuation and found special items several times, such as a statue with mysterious powers, antiques buried deep in the ground, and so on.
Their performance was too conspicuous, which upset their parents.
However, this uneasiness disappeared completely with the disappearance of An Lingxian.
After that, Yukino Takegami did not show his special features again, and lived an ordinary and peaceful life with his parents.
Until now.
When he realized that his memory had been modified, Yukino Takegami couldn't help but feel a chill.
From a certain point of view, memory is a person's greatest wealth, but also the most personal thing.
However, this kind of thing has been inexplicably changed. This is almost a complete denial of one's existence.
However, the sister and brother quickly adjusted their mentality. They know that if they can't live, it doesn't matter if they have a background or a memory.
Yukina Takegami said, "Sister, I feel it, not far from our right front, there is something that can save lives. ”
"Where?"
An Lingxian immediately asked.
"Over there."
Before the words fell, Yukimi Takegami had already run.
Shi Yuan and Gou Xiaoxiao naturally followed him closely.
Time is running out.
Just as the four of them were running briskly towards the place where Takegami had no point, the earth suddenly trembled.
"Was there an earthquake?"
Gou Xiaoxiao asked with a pale face.
"This is not our original world, it should not be an earthquake, but a ......"
Before Shi Yuan's words were finished, the trembling on the ground suddenly became extremely violent, and everyone stood unsteadily, swaying from side to side.
Immediately after, cracks appeared in the ground, making extremely terrifying sounds.
Is it really an earthquake?
Shi Yuan looked at the cracks in astonishment.
However, his shock had just begun, when he saw that in those cracks, some extremely distorted "things" appeared.
"Those are ......"
Takegami said unconsciously.
But in the next second, he could see the appearance of those "things" clearly.
It turned out to be a "person" who wriggled like an earthworm.
Each of them seemed to be elongated by some kind of force, their limbs, torsos, and even their heads became elongated, and the facial features on their faces were extremely strange.
Their arms seemed to be glued to their bodies, clinging to their torsos without any other movement. The two legs are also completely close to each other, losing the function that the legs should have.
It is not so much that they are people, but that they are a combination of the characteristics of people and earthworms.
In Shi Yuan's perceptual domain, all those things were "invisible".
Not white, not black. Nothing. Not perceptible at all.
What the hell are those things?
Even Shi Yuan felt a burst of horror at this moment.
While they were stunned, the monsters had crawled out of the chasm and crawled on the ground like real earthworms.
They squirmed and approached Shi Yuan and the others.
They looked up at them.
Those elongated faces seemed to be screaming silently. Their eyes, which had no eyeballs, stared at them coldly.
Shi Yuan and the others subconsciously retreated. No one wants to be touched by those monsters.
Suddenly, one of the monsters broke off at the waist, and the monster's mouth was wide open, and his whole body was constantly convulsing, as if in extreme pain.
However, even then, the monster did not die.
Instead, the waist of the upper half of its body sprouted new sprouts at a rate visible to the naked eye, then condensed into two other legs that stuck together. And the waist of its lower body is broken, and there are also flesh buds that keep squirming, and gradually grow another upper body.
One monster, just like that, turned into two before their eyes.
Takegami looked at the monsters without horror, and then looked ahead again.
The strange fluctuations he perceived were just ahead. However, they were unable to move forward.
Looking at those "earthworm people" from afar, Shen Ethereal was frozen all over his body at the moment, and his scalp was numb for a while.
"Earthworm...... Earthworm ......"
She muttered to herself unconsciously.
She couldn't forget, what happened in her childhood.
