Chapter 53: A False Life
"Mr. Ian, what's wrong?"
Looking at the young man in front of him who suddenly stopped, Seran was shocked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info She looked ahead and saw the boy around the corner of the alleyway ahead.
"Did you find anything?" said Camilla, who hurried forward.
Several people have been searching the alleys around this neighborhood for a long time, but they have found nothing.
But at this moment, the young man in front of him suddenly stopped. He stood where he was, stepped forward with his left foot towards the mouth of the alley, and then retracted it at once.
Such an abnormal behavior obviously means that he has discovered something!
The two girls approached and cautiously peeked into the alleyway. However, they couldn't see anything but the darkness, and they frowned and walked forward, but at that moment, Ian suddenly raised his right hand to stop them.
"Be careful!" Ian began, "This alleyway is unusual. He narrowed his eyes, because just as he had just stepped half of his foot into the alleyway, the sword intent in his soul suddenly warned him!
He ascended his consciousness and looked down from the sky, intending to get a glimpse of what was going on, but the information that came back from his conscious sense surprised him.
This alley is almost like a living thing in the consciousness sense!
It's so bizarre that a hallway actually exudes the fluctuations of life, as if it were a living creature!
"Heart!"
Ian had the answer in his head. It is not known what caused the mental image, but it is never a natural occurrence.
"Seran, Camilla, we might have found it. Ian turned to the two girls behind him and said, "This alleyway has been subjected to some kind of mental image. ”
"What?" The two girls glanced at each other, but as capable people, they didn't feel the fluctuation of the power of the mind at all.
"Is it an endowed mind?" Seran quickly concluded: "Only the endowed mind, after it has worked, will not leave any fluctuations in the power of the mind." ”
"Perhaps. Ian nodded, his knowledge of mental imagery was far less professional than that of the two girls, so he naturally did not dispute their judgments.
He took another step forward, and at the same time instructed the two girls behind him: "I'll go in first, you follow me, don't get separated!"
"Understood. ”
"Hmm. ”
The two girls nodded, and followed Ian into the strange alleyway.
Unbeknownst to them, just as Ian took his first steps into the alleyway, Lilith in the alley smiled wickedly.
Another wave of prey has been caught.
Thinking so, Lilith turned her head and looked at the blue-haired girl who was kneeling on the ground, showing a smile that became more and more joyful: "Wendy, aren't you happy to see me?"
"What have you done to me, what have you done to me?" the blue-haired girl lowered her head and hugged her chest and wailed in pain: "Senior Cassius, Senior Cassius, he ......"
"So, you're really forgetful. Lilith knelt down in front of her, "Have you forgotten my mind?"
Wendy, who realized something, was stunned, and she raised her head tremblingly and looked at the girl in front of her like a dream demon.
"Behavior...... Interference?"
"That's the name of the past. Lilith shook her head happily and stroked the other's hair, "It should be called now: Behavior Domination." As long as it's a living creature, I can control their behavior to a certain extent. ”
"For example. As she spoke, a black tentacle suddenly protruded from between the collar on Lilith's chest: "This disobedient child." ”
......Seeing this tentacle, Wendy's pupils suddenly dilated, revealing a terrified expression: "Impossible, impossible, it's obvious, it's obviously ......."
"You've already been killed by the Juggernaut, right?"
"That's right, it's indeed dead. Lilith sneered, "But, I'm sorry, I brought it back to life." ”
"What did you say?"
"False life. ”
The corners of Lilith's mouth crossed a happy arc: "I can give life to dead things other than myself, whether abstract or concrete." ”
"How could this kind of mental image be ......" Wendy already felt that she had lost the ability to speak, and deep despair had wrapped her whole body.
"Why do you think you can't get out of the alley anyway?"
"Because, I want it not to let you out. ”
Lilith chuckled as a black creature crawled out of her chest and landed on her hand.
She looked at the globular creature tenderly, as if she were looking at her own child: "I, ah, have given this child a false life. And this child also allowed my life to continue. ”
"Why, that's a demon......"
"Why?" Lilith was surprised for a moment, then laughed, "Because I want to live." Can't you think of such a simple and pure answer?"
Wendy was speechless for a moment, this girl's obsession with survival was so strong that it produced such a bizarre mental image.
Seeing that the other party stopped talking, Lilith couldn't help but feel depressed.
"Wendy, do you know how painful it is to be soul-drained by a demon?"
"Little by little, the memories in my mind disappeared, I couldn't remember my parents, I couldn't remember my past experiences, I couldn't remember the things I used to love, I couldn't remember many, many things. ”
"And, ah, lately, this kid has been getting more and more greedy, and he was going to eat you both, but I can't let it go on so willfully, so it's enough to let him eat one. ”
A sudden sense of dread swept over her body, and Wendy realized something, but she realized that she couldn't even move a finger.
"For ...... Why, do this to us?"
"I said, I've forgotten a lot of things. Lilith laughed out loud, and the Pansemo in her hand suddenly stretched out countless tentacles.
"However, when I was born as a human being, there were at least two things that I still remember very well. ”
"The first point. Lilith held out a finger in front of Wendy: "My name is Li~Li~Si~"
"The second point. The blonde girl paused, then raised a second finger: "You guys...... will all die. ”
"Goodbye, then, Wendy. ”
Countless tentacles spread out in an instant, and looking at the desperate look on Wendy's face, Lilith couldn't help but smile with great pleasure.
However, just as the tentacles were about to touch the blue-haired girl, they suddenly trembled.
Lilith felt the ball in her hand vibrate, as if she felt a great danger approaching quickly.
Lilith shuddered.
From the beginning, she knew that someone else had broken in, and she had thought that she would wait until Wendy had cooked it before harvesting the newcomers, but she never expected that the other party would come so quickly, and the alley that was given life could not hinder the other party in the slightest.
How is this possible?
The thought crossed her mind when she suddenly felt the alley lose its breath of life for a moment. With a crisp hum, an invisible blade of qi severed all the tentacles in the field in an instant, causing the Pansemo in his hand to let out a terrifying and painful howl!
"Who?"
A panicked Lilith jumped to her feet, as if her previous calmness was nothing more than vanity.
Wendy, who never died, couldn't help but want to look back and see who saved her. But before she could make a move, a familiar dark back suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Miss Lilith. A familiar deep male voice sounded, and Wendy only felt a trance after hearing this figure, as if she had returned to that day, back to the outside of the circle. She didn't notice the two other footsteps approaching behind her, but sat down as if she had lost all her strength.
Not because of despair, but because of an incomparable sense of peace.
She looked in Lilith's direction, and saw that the face that had been terrifying a moment ago had turned pale and ridiculous.
At this moment, in front of the trembling blonde girl, the hooded man raised his head slightly and made a voice full of inexplicable emotions.
"I've been looking for you for a long time......"
