To put it simply, when people realize that their surroundings are full of threats, they will be more motivated by vigilance and fear. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This is brought about by the desire to survive.

Even a race like Aya, created by angels, has the same desire to survive as the descendants of Ebon who crawled out of the Black Lake.

It has to be said that it is the commonality of biology.

Fear is not a bad thing, and without fear you can miss out on many opportunities for vigilance and the activation of potential, which can have terrible consequences.

It was this fear that Lusha held on to and buried it in the bottom of her heart. Don't let fear cloud your actions and judgment, and don't ignore the panic and warnings it brings.

Aya walked softly into the library, passing bookshelves and chairs along the way—and frozen shadows in them.

Those phantoms were all magic mechs and Eborn guards.

They were all frozen in place. It can even go straight through their bodies.

When a person dies, he loses his body that can move.

The soul is gone, and the "person" is truly finished.

But in this situation where time and space stand still...... They don't even die of any kind.

Life itself seems to have lost its meaning. They just merge into the space and become the backdrop of the stage.

And the active actors are Lusha and another unknown guy.

This still space is very uncomfortable.

There is no wind blowing.

There is no sound from the sound of all things.

There are no snowflakes falling in the sky.

..................

Nothing. This static world is like a real place of death.

The gray hue eats away at the human spirit.

Gray, gray, gray...... Still gray.

Everything is off-white.

No vitality, nothing lifeless.

...... No, it's not the land of death.

It's hard to even say if there is a life other than Lusha.

If anything, it may be the person who made that loud noise before. But who is that?

Lusha almost thought she was crazy. She resisted the urge to shout frantically in the depths of her soul, and continued to slowly step out of her feet.

Step on the floor and make the only echo in the world. The sound waves passed through her eardrums, stimulating Aya's spirit, reminding her of her presence.

It's all very crazy and scary. Lusha, who had just suppressed the torture of the phantom wings because of her sister's magic, was not sure if she was still mentally normal.

Does that space-time stand still? What if it's just my hallucination?

Did the sound I just hear really come from?

What if I'm crazy? Phantom Wings...... No one can guarantee that it won't eat away at my mind, right?

No one else can see the world when time and space stand still...... So if it's really just an illusion, then wouldn't I......

Lusha is completely helpless about everything. The frustration in her heart began to grow again. However, she also knew that only she could help her in this world where time and space were still. So there's no point in being coquettish or anything.

And she has always preferred to work her own. The Ayans understood what the word "strong" meant, but it started at a very young age.

Because of all kinds of pain, after being magnified by the Ayas to five times, it is not easy to endure it. Aya's ability to tolerate pain is not innate.

Each Aya tries to get used to it differently.

But since Lusa pulled out the pitchfork that had accidentally pierced her stomach by falling at the age of twelve, her endurance had been particularly remarkable.

Aya's slight footsteps echoed through her eardrums. In a quiet world, this subtle sound sounds so clear.

Maybe it's because Lusa's werewolf ears are too sensitive.

Soon, she was in a daze to the wooden staircase that led to the second floor of the library.

There are a few bends in the staircase, and the wood looks heavy and old. The library has three floors, and this staircase connects the traffic from the first to the third floor.

At this moment, Lusha suddenly felt a strange gaze coming from above.

Aya's perception immediately fed back this information.

This made her hurriedly raise her head to look, but she saw nothing. When Lusha noticed that the other party had left without making a sound, she immediately focused and began to listen.

Werewolf blood, naturally with the hearing of a wolf (about four times that of the average person). But you have to listen intensively so that you can use your full strength.

At the same time, a clear sound of footsteps reached the ears of the focused Rusa. It sounded like the man was running fast from a distance. But still on the third floor.

Given that the various walls of the library are well attenuated, it may be difficult to hear the man's footsteps without using the wolf's hearing.

Just now, the enemy may have flashed some distance backwards.

As long as you don't use the silent magic that completely eliminates the sound of footsteps, or deliberately sneak quietly, Lusha's ears can catch clues.

In this way, it is natural to just look past and no one is there, because if that person flashes backwards.

Come to think of it this way, the sound I heard at the beginning was ...... It seems to have been sent from the third floor?

Doubts welled up in my heart. Lusa has so much to ask.

She knew her best solution was to look for it.

Instead of choosing to fly up, Lusha hurried up the stairs and chased her to the third floor, concentrating once more: just like before, she had already heard footsteps.

I don't know where the man is.

Aya deliberately hid her footsteps and quietly sneaked forward. Of course, the pace didn't slow down at all.

With a weight of only thirty pounds and an innate skill in quiet walking, Aiya can easily hide her position without making a sound.

Even the faint sound of breathing can be completely hidden. Aya was able to hold her breath for long periods of time. Hold your breath for more than 20 minutes.

Of course, this is not a problem for mages. They can protect themselves from suffocation in the water in a variety of ways.

Lutha remembered the direction of the footsteps she had heard earlier, and followed the footsteps she remembered.

Along the way, I passed by the side of two magic mechas. The sight made Lusha very uncomfortable.

She was never able to adapt to such an environment.

It really gives an unspeakable sense of despair. Maybe one day there will be no color in the world, and that's it.

This reminds Lusa of the legendary Silent Hell.

That's one of the fifteen layers of hell. In that hell, everything was gray and white, and there was no sound.

Staying there makes it easier to go crazy than you think.
