Chapter 36: Loneliness

In the dim candlelight, in the midst of countless cycles, blood-red tears slowly flowed from the faces of the Dekavo family.

Crunch –

The door to the next room opened on its own.

"Woo woo woo ......"

There was a girl's cry from inside the door, looming, as if there was nothing, it stands to reason that Jiang Chenchuan should be afraid.

Fear is an instinct that is a defense mechanism for the body to act in response to an unknown event or danger, such as running away or asking for help.

But the cleaners can't, the training that used to be was to wipe out the fearful nature of people, and they could only keep moving forward in the face of crazy mental torture or unimaginable weirdness.

The way back is blocked, and if they don't rush forward, there will be no one to protect those who live in the light.

In order for them to live a peaceful and stable life, the cleaners are heroes who walk alone in the darkness and do not stand in the light.

Clenching the baseball bat in his hand, which was the only weapon he had, he gently pushed the door open, but inside the door, there was a scene he couldn't imagine at all.

The whole room was red, and the corpses of the Dekavo family were stacked on top of each other like garbage, each corpse alienated into the form of monsters, flesh and bones mixed together.

And the cry came from the ear, and the girl who looked like Yulia knelt in front of the pile of corpses, hiding her face and weeping.

It's hard to convince yourself that Yulia will appear here, no matter how you reason, the possibility of being an illusion in front of her is higher than that of a real person, but Jiang Chenchuan doesn't dare to take risks, the price of alarming a spirit is too high, and if you are not careful, you will die in this infinite cycle.

Gotta get out as soon as possible!

Jiang Chenchuan chose not to make a sound, and retreated silently, and as soon as he left the room, there were some strange sounds behind him, which seemed to be the sound of the door being opened, not big or small, but resounding in this narrow and dark corridor.

The crying stopped at the same time.

At times like these,

Silence is the most terrible of all.

Obviously feeling that something was behind him, his intuition told Jiang Chenchuan not to look back.

【Come here......】

I don't know who whispered softly.

【Come here......】

At some point, another door appeared next to the one that had entered the loop, and the whisper seemed to come from there.

Yulia in front of the corpse suddenly turned her head one hundred and eighty degrees, her two eyes were dark and hollow, she seemed to see Jiang Chenchuan, and opened her big mouth full of blood.

There's no time to hesitate!

Jiang Chenchuan ran away, he needed to escape from here as soon as possible.

【Come and ......】

The whispers rang out again.

Jiang Chenchuan, who was about to open the door of the original house, hesitated for a second, if he took this road, there was still this circular corridor behind the door, in this long and unchanging world, only this new door was a different path.

at all costs

He only had one chance.

【Come on......】

The whisper sounded again, the footsteps behind him gradually approached, and he knew that his time was running out, and after only a second of hesitation, he still chose the original path.

Contrary to expectations, when the door was opened, it was not the hallway of Decavo's house.

It's as if at some specific trigger, the loop disappears automatically, and you are greeted by a dark world.

Under his feet was an endless black, like the sea, with ripples of water, and from time to time an unknown corpse emerged from underneath, revealing a blurred facial features, and slowly sank again.

A beam of light struck, and it was a wooden bench that was everywhere, like the kind that had been placed in the corner of the park, discarded haphazardly.

Sitting on it was a lonely figure.

"What you need to know is that reality can be escaped, but facts can never be escaped."

Jiang Chenchuan approached with a light foot, and heard the man say calmly.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Chenchuan asked vigilantly.

The man did not answer, but patted the bench and gestured:

"Sit down."

The man's face was not clear as in the painting, it was covered with a layer of fog Jiang Chenchuan thought about it and sat down next to him there was a distance between the two of them different from the tense and terrifying atmosphere in the cycle there was a strange calm here.

"Remember, how you died?"

In a long silence, the man was the first to speak, he raised his head slightly, as if looking into the distance, there was nothing in the distance, perhaps, he was not looking at something, but at the memory.

"In order to save the child, the child's mother saw my appearance and screamed, which attracted the attention of the patrol mounted police, but I don't blame them, after all, I am a notorious murderer."

Jiang Chenchuan said indifferently.

"Hahahaha, it's obviously to save people hahaha, every time it's like this, you're so miserable."

The man completely ignored Jiang Chenchuan's feelings, and suddenly laughed, but he could hear that there was no happiness in the laughter, it was a kind of helplessness and ridicule.

"Hahahaha......"

The laughter sounded like crying.

"Tell me, who the hell are you? Why am I here? ”

Jiang Chenchuan turned his head and asked.

"What do you mean by the word 'extraordinary' after experiencing the Church of the Dawn...... You don't have to answer me, you just think for yourself, I don't need your answer, they divide the relics into nine sequences and explain them simply with one...... Well...... Words to describe, but the essence of things is not. ”

The man also turned his head, did not answer Jiang Chenchuan's question, but said in a different tone.

"Let me give you a hint to think about the higher levels of ...... behind the surface of things. Spiritual ...... Like what...... Soul. ”

"Soul ......"

"Yes, human beings are born with the greatest value...... Truth be told, the Atlas Alchemy did a good job of this, after all, they had the best alchemists in Polnia. ”

The man said with a smile, his tone sounding lighthearted.

Jiang Chenchuan seemed to suddenly remember something, and he asked:

"Where are we?"

"Hahahaha......"

The man laughed happily.

"You're smarter than I thought, it looks like you've found ......"

The man's praise did not make Jiang Chenchuan happy, in other words, this answer also confirmed his conjecture.

This is not an easy nightmare.

"Alright, it's time, it's time for me to go."

The man stood up from the bench, his clothes moving with him, and under the overcoat was a broken body, bloody bones exposed, and muscles stitched everywhere.

He walked slowly forward......

"Wait! I have something to ask you! ”

Jiang Chenchuan wanted to stand up and catch up with him, but he felt pressed on the bench by an invisible force, unable to move, and could only watch his back gradually fade away.

Finally, disappear into the endless darkness ahead.

The only beam of light hit Jiang Chenchuan's body, like a stage play, leaving the last lonely brave.
