Chapter 69: Wake Up
I, where?
Lyle opened his eyes slightly, and in front of him was a black and red chaotic substance, he moved his body, but found that his whole body was not direct, as if his body no longer belonged to him, only a lonely consciousness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The viscous sensation slid on the surface of his skin, the temperature was close to zero, his chest was stuffy and blocked, he could barely breathe, the air seemed to be emptied, completely clean, and the feeling of being pressed tightly by a heavy object flashed in Lyle's mind, and he tried his best to keep his eyes open to determine the current situation.
Then, he saw clearly, although the color of black and red blood was about to dry up, it had a sparkling texture, and the feeling of liquid flowing, and countless tiny crimson bubbles were slowly rising upward from the bottom of his body, bursting at a distance of less than a meter in front of him, shaking and making a splash, and a sweet and greasy taste.
Here it is, the sea?
Lyle thought quickly about his current environment based on his own perceptions, and finally came to the conclusion that he was slowly sinking in a place similar to the bottom of the sea, like a drowning man.
It's just that this is a sea of blood, there is no pale blue water and soft waves, and there are no beautiful fish, the only thing that has is an endless stream of dark red blood.
Like a projector working, many staccato images vaguely appeared in front of Lyle's eyes, the pitch-black underground, the crowded and eerie research room, the cyan liquid flowing in the rows of huge glass containers, and then a young man with a black knife on his back and the length of his body running rapidly in the dark corridor.
That's right, me? yes, I think I'm going to go to that dark place, and then I'm going to .......
There seemed to be a thread in his brain that had been broken suddenly, as if it had been forcibly cut by someone, and a sneer was faintly heard all around, and Lyle's eyes rolled, and the only organ he could grasp now was the pair of red pupils, and his eyes looked around along the edge of the limit he could reach, and there was no one, deathly silence.
And then there's the to, what?
Lyle suddenly had a splitting headache, and the things he was about to recall were erased by the unexplained pain, which seemed to be deliberately hindering himself.
The speed of the body sank faster, and the temperature dropped again, this time like falling to the bottom of an ice cellar, and the cold breath began to erode the skin, but Lyle was unconscious, and could only silently endure the attack of the cold.
As if echoing the speed of sinking, the rate of picture alternation also suddenly accelerated, like a projector that could not control the parts out of control, and at the same time, the pain from the head became more unbearable, Lyle wanted to stop his recollection, but he didn't do it in the end, incredible, a thought flashed in his heart, if he gave up here, it would really be over, and then, something terrible and irreparable would happen, thinking in his heart, Lyle endured the pain and accelerated the speed of his brain.
The picture leaps rapidly, more and more scenes are displayed one by one, and the memory is gradually awakened.
Like the ruins of the land, occupied by the power of darkness and surrounded by powerful fields, the man with a hideous and terrifying face grabbed the neck of a young girl and lifted it high, the girl was covered in blood, and her face was full of pain.
Lyle stared carefully at the girl's figure, the girl's figure seemed to be a great attraction to him, he saw more and more clearly, the girl's touch was completely displayed in his heart, stroke by stroke, every outline, every edge, became clear.
His heart suddenly twitched violently, as if he had been beaten hard by someone, and as if he had been cut by a thousand knives, and the feeling that was more uncomfortable than the pain coming from his head instantly filled his atrium.
He suddenly remembered, and remembered that the broken silk thread had been forcibly sewn up by him. He remembered his purpose, he wanted to save that girl.
The body suddenly regained consciousness, Lyle waved his arms and legs in surprise, rolling his body, and the control of his body was returned to his hands, he saw the whole picture of this sea of blood more clearly, the eyes on all sides, the distant place is endless darkness, and below his body is also the darkness that cannot see the end, the center of the darkness, the extremely suppressed suffocation feeling comes from it, as if there is a most terrifying beast lurking inside.
I can't sink down, I can't sink to the bottom like this, Lyle suddenly felt such a thought in his heart, he deeply felt that real pressure, if he really fell into the deepest place, he would definitely be devoured by the devil who lived in the deepest place.
You can't stay in this kind of place anymore, you have to go back, back to the original world. Lyle thought to himself, this should be the world of the spiritual level, and he seems to have just been pulled into his consciousness, although he doesn't know much about this level of things, and he doesn't even know what kind of person is in what kind of reason to sink his consciousness into the abyss of this sea of blood, but since this is a place similar to the ocean, then just swim up and swim out of the water.
I have to go back, Suzu is still waiting for me to save her. Lyle shouted in his heart.
He moved, his body that was originally horizontal became a standing posture, his arms were constantly spread to the sides, his legs staggered back and forth, his body slowly swam upwards under the movement of his limbs, his movements were clumsy, like a duckling who had just begun to learn to swim, but even so, he did not relax for a moment. Even if his whole body lacks strength, even if he is haunted by the pain of broken bones and flesh, as long as the belief in his heart does not disappear, Lyle will not give up.
The most real him is not the kind of master who will give up easily.
Heheββ
The sneer reverberated through Lyle's eardrums again, this time so loud that Lyle could clearly discern the tone, timbre, and even the frequency of the vibrations as it passed through the medium.
In the darkness around him, it was like a ghost emerging, and the faint voice did not carry a little warmth.
Do you think you can save her without me?
Lyle's movements stalled for a moment, and a kind of fear and nervousness suddenly spread in his heart, and he remembered that the voice made him more familiar than familiar, and he could never forget the face of the owner of the voice, although it was only a one-sided relationship, but the impact on him was so great that every time he thought about it, he would have a chill down his spine.
Now, that person has reappeared, the boy who is exactly like himself. No, or can it be said, I have always been in the palm of that person's hand.
"Who the hell are you, and what's going on here. Lyle shouted eagerly, but his voice seemed to be blocked, and his voice could not be heard at all, only his mouth fluttering in the empty darkness.
But as if hearing Lyle's words, the demonic voice of the young man sounded again, "Didn't I say it, I am you, I am the truest instinct in your heart." β
"Stop talking nonsense, what is the truest instinct, I don't understand it at all, ahhhh β
"Don't you understand, I'm the most real you, your anger, your fear, your sadness, your hatred, hatred, dissatisfaction, grievance......" The young man's voice became more and more eager and excited, as if he couldn't help but roar loudly, "And yours, killing intent." β
"Are you talking about dreams anymore, it's all bad things. β
"Is there anything wrong? It is precisely because of anger that you feel full of power, it is precisely because of hatred that you will fight without scruples, it is precisely because you have killing intent that you can burst out with the greatest energy, isn't this what people are, the desire for power, the desire for power, the desire for everything, because of desire, anger is born, hatred....... and it is precisely because of anger and hatred that you will gain great power. β
"Are you, are you crazy?" Lyle was speechless in shock, the boy's words were like a flood of hatred and anger, even sadness, as if telling of a real tragedy and disaster.
"Have you forgotten, forgotten that powerless self, watching your important person get hurt in front of your eyes, but you can't do anything. The boy's tone changed suddenly, and great sorrow came towards Lyle like a raging wave.
Lyaldon felt that his whole body had become stiff, and the feeling of suffocation from being able to breathe became more and more intense, and the cells in his whole body seemed to be wailing, conveying pain as if they were broken.
The boy's words pierced the most vulnerable part of Lyle's heart like the sharpest blade.
Yes, I'm weak, I'm really weak, it's because I'm weak that I can't even protect the only important person, even if I die very close to myself, I can't do anything. Lyle said in his heart.
Memories were like electric shocks, stinging his brain, the tombstone at dusk, the back of the broken red-haired girl, and then the pitch darkness underground, Suzu endured the pain of bleeding all over her body and was pinched in Daus's hands, but she collapsed to the ground, not even having the strength to stand up.
I'm so sad, I don't have the strength to do all this.......
All of Lyle's movements slowed down, and finally came to a standstill, like a doll with a broken string.
"That's right, you're so weak, so even if you return to the original world, what can you do, you don't have the power to save people at all, what you are facing is to witness the death of that person, and then just like before, curl up in the corner and cry, crying, all you can do is cry helplessly and cowardly. The boy said unhurriedly, his voice was like a lullaby, snatching people's hearts, and the sound of a nightmare eroded Lyle's heart again, and Lyle's eyes that had been gas to survive dimmed again.
"But you still have me, throw away your consciousness, I will give you the power to bring down all obstacles, you don't have to do anything, you just let your body fall naturally," the young man's voice was like a demonic temptation, it was the bell that led to the end, "the moment you fall completely, that is when you gain unparalleled power, at that time, no one can snatch your things in front of you." β
Lyle's body lost strength again, and he sank alone into the deepest abyss.
The consciousness is cloudy, the whole body is weak, all the organs and cells in the body seem to have stopped moving, and they can't even use the strength to lift a finger, and the rest is only a short period of thinking ability, and after a while, even this little bit of consciousness will completely dissipate.
Everything can't be done, it's too late for anything, I'm a waste who can't do anything, so it's okay to sink like this, he said in his heart, that guy said that sinking is good to have power, he wants me to close my consciousness so much, then just abandon it, it's just ......
It's just, why, so unwilling, unwilling, unwilling to fall like this, I really want to do something, even if I don't have the strength, I want to do something, I'm now, it's just like, see you again, Suzu.
Why, what is that irrepressible expectation in my heart!
Suzu's appearance appeared in Lyle's eyes, her smile, her voice, her every movement, frantically pouring out of Lyle's memory, as if to burst Lyle's brain.
However, now I can't even fulfill this little wish, and sure enough, if I had had great power in the first place, all this sad thing would not have happened.
A teardrop appeared on Lyle's cheek.
Lyle -
Lyle -
Wake up, Lyleβ
Please.
It's strange, who is calling me, it's not the boy's voice, it's a girl's voice, so beautiful, so sweet, so sultry, so ...... Familiar.
Suzu, is that you?
Lyle could hear it, the voice that made himself dream at the moment, the voice that frantically longed to hear again, it turned out that Suzu was fine, she was always by her side, she was calling me, she was calling!
Lyle's heart was beating violently, and the voice that seemed to be a natural sound was like a good medicine to save his heart, and Lyle suddenly felt that his heart had become very calm, without fear and self-blame for weakness, but only the excitement that could no longer be suppressed, and the mood of wanting to see that person again.
In the distance, where it seems to be the surface of the sea of blood, a white spot of light suddenly appeared, like the reflection of the sun shining down, after the division of the water flow, it turned into many mottled points of light, and it was colored by the reflection point of the sea water, and the light spot became bigger and bigger, as if a sun was about to fall, and in the center of the light spot, something like a TV screen appeared, and a blurred scene was reflected in it.
The city in the dark night, on the top of the abandoned building, under the light of the bright moon, Suzu hugged the neck of his body, his worried expression hung on his face, tears fell on his body, and his mouth kept calling.
Wake up, Lyle-
The girl's voice became louder and clearer, and Lyle felt the light projected by the light spots, the warm feeling dispelled the coldness of the sea of blood, and the warmth came from the skin, as if bathed in the sun, living under the dark night of the moonlit night world for more than ten years, Lyle experienced for the first time the beauty of the so-called sunshine.
The stiff body was illuminated by the warm light, the temperature seemed to burn all the darkness and cold, the power that blocked Lyle's body disappeared, the vitality was restored again, Lyle swam towards the water again, the light spot gradually enlarged in front of his eyes, it was a proof of gradually getting closer to the water, the throbbing that wanted to see Suzu became the biggest motivation to support him, all the haze that had filled his heart before was dispelled by the light at the moment, and he now, just wanted to break out of the water that bound him.
Finally, the light spots occupied all the field of vision, and the eyes were white, and the consciousness was scattered, but it was very reassuring, because, this time, it was no longer cold that surrounded the body, but warmth.
"Wake up at last, boy. An old voice sounded in his ears, and Lyle opened his eyes, and it was an incredible feeling, as if he had spent a long dream.
The vision in front of him gradually widened, but the next moment Lyle's heart rose to his throat again, his body was still unable to move, and there was still an endless space alternating black and red around him, but it didn't look like he had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
He glanced over his body and realized that he was nailed to a huge cross, bound by several chains that emitted a blood-like light.
"What's the situation?" Lyle was startled again, he did hear his own voice, he could speak now.
Thankfully, it seems that I really escaped from the sea of blood just now, and now that I think about it, that thing is really terrible, and I shiver with cold, and I don't let people complain, Lyle said in his heart.
"It's not really an escape, cheer up some imps. This time Lyle finally found the person in front of him, silver-white hair, red pain that was even more dazzling than himself, an old but resolute face, and a black cloak that covered his whole body, it was the mysterious old man he had met before.
"Oh, isn't this an old man. Lyle said with some excitement, compared to the boy who was exactly the same as himself, the old man in front of him made him feel more trusted, after all, he had saved himself once before, that young man not only pirated his own face, but also dared to rob the dominance of his body and consciousness, it was hateful to think about it, and he still had the same face as himself.
"Old man, why did you say that you would disappear if you disappeared before, I was still counting on you to help me ......" He suddenly couldn't continue, in the end, he was still counting on the old man to help him, and he still had no strength himself. There was an infinite feeling of discomfort in my heart.
"There are some things you have to know sooner or later, but not now, I'll send you out of here now, otherwise that guy will come out to make trouble again in a while, and I won't be sure of winning at that time. The old man said, speaking eagerly, it seemed that the situation was really urgent, and Lyle immediately answered, "What the hell is going on with that guy, you are more powerful than the old man?"
Like the sound of hot water beginning to boil, Lyle's attention was attracted, he looked into the distance, there was a huge waterfall behind the old man, a waterfall composed of blood and water, the fierce water of the waterfall rushed down, and then, not far from his feet, he could vaguely recognize the red water surface, countless bubbles appeared violently on the water surface, like rolling molten slurry, the bubbles burst into blood mist, and a huge black shadow was dormant under the water surface.
"That guy is handed over to me to block, you can go out with peace of mind now," the old man quickly got up, the afterimage flickered, and he couldn't see the speed of his steps at all, his old hand pressed on Lyle's abdomen, and a blood-colored thing suspected of being a magic array appeared, and unconfirmed runes swam in it, emitting a blood-colored red light.
Lyle's body gradually became blurry, and at the same time, Lyle himself had a strange feeling, a sense of dissociation like weightlessness.
"What about you, old man?"
"I've drunk more black tea than you've washed with more oxygen, and I don't need a kid like you to worry about me, I'll make a little fuss in your body, help you suppress that guy, and you can go out with peace of mind." β
The old man is reliable, but making a fuss or something sounds terrible, Lyle's belly.
"Isn't there a gentler way, you said to make a big fuss inside me, I feel very uneasy. β
"Boy, listen to the old man before leaving," the old man turned around, "hatred or anger or something is the source of power, this is, think about what is really powerful." β
Old man, what you said is handsome, it's so cool, Lyle said in his heart.
But how did the old man know that the guy who touched me was talking to me? He wanted to live in my body, and he said that he drank more black tea than I did, and the two were not comparable at all.
Although there were many questions, there was no time for Lyle to ask, and everything fell silent with a flash of white light in front of him.
Why is it always flashing white and dizzy, these were the last words that Lyle thought before leaving that place.
