Chapter 19: Alive
It was a roar from the depths of the throat, countless figures twisting in the field of flowers, having lost their form as human beings.
Perhaps, the contaminated family in Decavo was among them.
It's like a myriad of people whispering in your ear, the anxiety and uneasiness that it brings with it trying to disturb Yulia's sanity, and she runs with her suitcase all the way, while the little girl is long lost in the dark.
She tried to look back, but came across a new monster with a strange shape, leaning over and slowly approaching, still muttering something in its mouth, hoarse and dark, unable to hear clearly.
The monster blocked the way, Yulia could only run in the direction of Jiang Chenchuan, she had to find Jiang Chenchuan, that cold and enthusiastic detective Mr. can bring her an unprecedented sense of security.
Even, she couldn't be sure if Jiang Chenchuan had been devoured by monsters and died.
The sizzling sound of the street lamp overhead, which could go out at any moment, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the darkness behind him.
"Mr. Ewell! Where are you! ”
Yulia called out loudly.
But there is no response in the darkness ahead, only the footsteps behind you follow you like a shadow, like a god of death that can't be shaken off, holding a scythe and approaching you step by step.
Just like that day, the feeling of powerlessness that could not be changed and shaken off, and the pressure and fear that gradually came from persecution, were on the verge of collapse in the endless mental torture, but in the same way, Jiang Chenchuan was also experiencing these.
In order to protect herself, Yulia chose to use the relic, and the power of [Resistance] fluctuated, and a yellow light lit up to envelop her.
Sure enough, under the protection, the lingering murmurs in her ears were much quieter, and it also allowed her to find a trace of reason in the chaos.
"What the hell is this...... What is it? ”
But before she could catch her breath, the monster that was waiting for the opportunity to move seized the opportunity and pounced on her.
There wasn't even time to scream, and a blade flew out of the darkness ahead, sticking straight into the monster's head.
The twisted monster let out a wail and fell straight down.
"It can't be seen, it can't be heard, it can't be touched, and it has a certain pollution, which is difficult to define in words."
Jiang Chenchuan walked out of the darkness, pulled out the staff sword on the monster's head, and the viscous blood threw an arc along the sword body on the ground, looking at him neatly and neatly, it didn't look like he had fought with a monster at all.
"It's too conspicuous, Yulia, you're going to attract them all, put this light away, I just discovered that those dark shadows in the flower field have a certain phototaxis, and they will slowly gather under the street lamp."
Yulia, who uses the relic, is like a big shining light bulb in the night, as if beckoning to the monsters, "Come on, come to me".
Following Jiang Chenchuan's instructions, she hurriedly put away the power of the Guardian Bracelet.
"Follow me, Yulia."
Yulia had no choice, she could only choose to believe that Jiang Chenchuan had stepped into the darkness.
Obviously, this kind of erosion is enough to make people crazy, but Jiang Chenchuan still looks calm and calm, as if he has not been affected at all.
"Don't you feel it? Mr. Ewell, those whispers and emotions. ”
Yulia couldn't help but ask.
"We once had a training called 'Habit of Fear', this training is very subtle, after all, weirdness is not encountered every day, those instructors will do some immoral things, what to lock people up in abandoned hospitals for one night, or ask people to take turns pretending to be ghosts to scare you, or let you watch fifty ghost movies in a week, and write a paper, etc., etc., after more experience, you will feel that these are all trivial."
Until, the darkness engulfed the figures of the two.
"Do you feel less pressured to gaze?"
Staying in the dark, on the contrary, felt much more comfortable, Yulia could also take this opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief, and when she heard Jiang Chenchuan's question, she nodded and replied:
"Much better, Mr. Ewell, was that what you did before joining the museum? What a detective's ...... Training? ”
"Sort of, when facing fear becomes a job, day after day, year after year, you will eventually find a way to convince yourself to get used to it, Yulia, if you can, I hope you will never touch it for the rest of your life, live an ordinary life, and then, to become a doctor to be proud of."
I'm going to be a doctor to be proud of!
For some reason, Yulia's mind conjures up the scene of making her vows, and when she is admitted to medical school, she excitedly returns home to show off her dreams.
Family......
If it weren't for the pain, everyone would have ended well.
“……”
It turns out that
No one wants to forget!
"No, Mr. Ewell, I'm a C-class medical staff member at the Capital Museum of Polnia, waiting for your instructions!"
In the darkness, Yulia stood up straight, her tone firm, and she took her responsibility.
"Yulia ......"
In his eyes, the immature little girl seemed to have grown up.
"That's right! That little girl from the Karen family, she's lost with me, we need to find her quickly! Yulia suddenly thought of something, grabbed Jiang Chenchuan's sleeve in a panic, and said eagerly.
Compared to Yulia's urgency, Jiang Chenchuan was obviously much calmer.
"Do you think that the group of black shadows are so far away, why is there one following behind you, and it can still find the right time to sneak up on you so accurately."
"You mean ......"
"Yes, the pain and madness that even an adult awakened person can endure and how can a child who has been eroded by relics escape."
Jiang Chenchuan said indifferently, as if he had seen many, many times, and the calm after grief was numb.
When he rushed back, the tragedy had already happened, and he couldn't stop the little girl from changing, so he could only choose to observe in the dark and silently protect Yulia.
Defend those who are still wise, purge those who are polluted and distorted, day after day, year after year, even teammates.
"You know what? Yulia, I have carefully observed all the way, whether it is the surroundings, the monsters in the flower fields, or the flowing air, nothing is quite right, at first, I felt a pair of eyes staring at us, and then, it became like this, so I reasoned...... In all likelihood, we're hallucinating. ”
Like everyone who has been polluted and turned into a monster, they are dying in agony in this endless torture and darkness.
"Hallucinations? So what do we do now? ”
Yulia didn't quite understand, since just now, they had been hiding in the shadows for a while, and if they wanted to break the illusion, they had to do something, but Jiang Chenchuan still had no intention of acting.
"Do nothing."
"Huh?"
"Yes, that's it, wait."
Waiting...... The opportunity has come.
