Chapter Twenty-Three: A Brief Awakening
The skin gradually dissolved in the early winter's body, revealing the familiar eyes that were as venomous as poisonous snakes, and it was frightening that he had been imitating the face of early winter.
"I can't believe it, Ewell, I'll do it to you at this time."
Barras smiled proudly, and when he was still in the sick village, he sneaked out, and in order to get through the terrible forest, he also took a lot of effort, and even almost took his own life.
In any case, it can only be said that he was lucky to come to the sick village smoothly, and he also met them in early winter.
Of course, he didn't lie to Ethan, those two people did take advantage of Jiang Chenchuan's absence and wanted to do something to Chu Dong, but it was just a coincidence that Baras saved Chu Dong.
Early winter, wounded in battle, made it difficult to move around, when it rained, and the fog in the forest filled the village.
In order to survive, Barras hid Early Winter in an unoccupied house and lit a candle for her to ensure that there was a light to keep her alive.
And he himself, with an oil lamp, set off to seek rescue, but unexpectedly, he accidentally discovered Ethan's existence.
"Huh? Is there a person? ”
He had a head popping out of the window, and at that time, it was already early winter, and he pulled down the sleeve of his coat to cover the bracelet on his wrist.
"Miss Early Winter?"
With the muzzle of the gun down, all the hostility was retracted, and Baras feigned surprise and met Ethan without incident.
When he learned that Ethan wanted to destroy the village, he hesitated, but only briefly, and then he listened to Ethan's words and left the forest.
Out of nowhere, a strange wind blew, and the sound was like someone was knocking, and the sky was inexplicably darker, Ballas raised his head slightly, looking at Jiang Chenchuan with his back to the bright face, which looked a little gloomy.
"You can't blame me, Ewell, if you want to take off this bondage, you can only do it to you, I'm afraid they think I can't beat you."
The edge of the dagger glowed abnormally, and the complicated runes began to spread along Jiang Chenchuan's body, as if some strange power covered the surface of the skin.
"Don't worry, this dagger is also a relic, which can suppress your breath of life, that is, when this broken thing can be removed, I will save you."
Barras looked down to himself as he spoke, fiddling with the bracelet that had imprisoned him, not noticing that some black silk qi came out of Jiang Chenchuan's wound.
"Shhhhh
I don't know when, suddenly there was another person in the room, leaning leisurely to the side as if watching a play, the whole person was immersed in shadows, and only a rough black outline could be seen.
"Who are you!?"
Ballas looked surprised.
There was no movement, when did he show up, or was he in this room from the beginning?
Ballas, who couldn't figure out the situation and the identity of the other party, didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only try to fiddle with the bracelet and try to break free.
There seemed to be an endless wail in their ears, and the monsters in the city seemed to sense something, and under the invisible pressure, they hid one after another, and their trembling bodies showed their fear.
"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that once a storm is formed, no one is spared."
As the man said this, black shadows spread out from Jiang Chenchuan's feet, and the shadows were like flowing rivers, from which severed limbs and internal organs kept gushing out, as if as long as they were touched, they would be pulled into hell by those strange things.
Fear involuntarily welled up from the bottom of his heart, and Barras kept backing away from the shadow that spread towards him, until his back was pressed against the cabinet.
There is no way back.
"How dramatic, the conspirators die in darkness, and the holy fall into uncleanness......"
The man said without changing his face in the face of the powerful oppression.
"I have a story from a long, long time ago here, would you like to hear it?"
It's like a relaxing time in a tavern, almost shaking a glass of red wine in your hand and tirelessly talking about your glorious past.
"Damn! What kind of monster is Ewell, don't talk about it next to you, think about how to stop him! ”
Barras was not in such a comfortable mood, he desperately pulled the bracelet in his hand, looked at Jiang Chenchuan who seemed to be in a coma with his head down, and his dagger still stuck in his body, suddenly, some thoughts popped up in his mind.
"Ewell! Wake up! ”
Barras yelled, the shadows closing in, and he had a premonition that if he didn't do something about it, he would definitely die!
His fingers trembled slightly, and Jiang Chenchuan, who heard the call, reacted, and even the shadow under his feet began to grow upward, as if he was trying to get rid of some kind of restraint.
"Ewell!"
If he doesn't wake up, something will wake up.
What could it be?
Barras couldn't figure out why, all his actions were driven by the instinct to survive.
Stay alive.
After staying in the eternal darkness of the mansion for so long, he was finally able to come out and see the outside world, he couldn't die here, no matter what, he had to live!
"Ewell!"
Barras yelled again.
"Heh......"
The man on the side let out a disdainful sneer, he seemed to know the result early, and just looked at Jiang Chenchuan like this.
Look through Ewell's exterior and look at his soul from the depths.
"Someday, you'll remember."
Muttering to himself with a slight sense of loss, in the reflection of the man's pupils, Jiang Chenchuan slowly opened his eyes.
In an instant, the suffocating sense of oppression dissipated, as if a wind blew away the dark clouds in the sky, and the golden light fell from the sky, and with Jiang Chenchuan's sobriety, even the black shadows spreading on the ground disappeared completely.
It's like a trick, and what just happened is like a fleeting hallucination.
"Ballas."
Jiang Chenchuan's voice was hoarse.
But it is better to hear him than to die.
"I'm ...... I won't let you get away with it. ”
Slowly raising his hand, he grabbed the dagger that pierced his body.
Bang dang.
Throwing the dagger aside, before the blood could splash, Jiang Chenchuan blocked the bleeding mouth, and the cane and recovery box were placed not far away, even if Ballas made a move, he could immediately have the ability to fight back.
However, Barras reacted differently than he had imagined, almost not aggressively, instead slumping stupidly on the ground, panting with his back against the closet.
"Ewell ......"
He muttered something out of his mouth.
"What?"
Ewell looked at his abnormal expression, a little puzzled.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong......"
