Above the sky, it should be a dark night as deep as ink.

But at this moment, it is as if it is noon when the sun is in full bloom.

Looking up, you can even see a few white clouds drifting leisurely.

And above the white clouds, a sun shimmered brightly, and the comfortable temperature radiated the city of Wolliv, with a population of 10 million.

The cold winter is dispelled by it, and the full moon is hidden in its light, becoming a foil.

If it weren't for Ji Yan being able to see the buried night in the distance, he wouldn't have thought it was daylight.

What the hell happened during the time I was gone?

……

Go back in time.

It all the way to the moment when the alienated face stretched out its clutches to Alice.

Listen to the voice in your ears that is beyond the ordinary people's acceptance.

In sight is the ugly sarcoma that obscures everything.

The thick mucus that covered it was dripping downward.

However, it may be because the mucus is too thick, so it is not disconnected from the middle.

Instead, pillars were formed, sealing all Alice's retreats.

Smelling the rotting smell of a fish that had been dead for an unknown number of days, Alice's face lost its color and turned pale.

Her body trembled slightly, and her heart beat faster.

Alice's breath was short, and she kept comforting herself.

God Optus put her here, and he certainly won't let her go.

But at this moment, the monster seemed to hear Alice's constant prayer.

The noisy whisper suddenly became something that Alice could barely hear clearly.

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Waiting for the God of your faith?"

"She can't save herself now, so how can she save you."

Alice's body trembled again, with a slight panic in her eyes, but on the surface she still seemed calm enough.

She was convinced that the power of the gods could not be as unbearable as the monster's mouth said.

The sarcoma continued to descend, and Alice could clearly see her face covered in cloudy mucus.

They looked so desperate as if they had never waited for true salvation.

The eye sockets of a black hole are indicting everything.

For some reason, a trace of pity for them rose in Alice's heart.

And the monster seemed to see Alice's eyes.

That one with a hint of compassion, a gentle mercy.

It seemed to be stung, and it suddenly roared.

"What are you expecting?"

"Maybe when your god comes out, she'll be like me!"

"When the time comes, I'll see how you still believe in her!"

The sarcoma accelerated, and in an instant, it crossed the distance, almost close to Alice's hair.

looked at the sarcoma in front of him that seemed to be in control of his own destiny.

Alice's nervous mood suddenly calmed down.

You can even feel a little bit of relief.

Time seems to be stretched out to the point where there is no end.

The sarcoma seemed to move a hundred times slower than a snail.

Alice seems to have entered a world of immobility.

This should be the protection of God Optus for himself.

After all, her power is related to time.

But there is no way for her to get out of it.

Because the surrounding slime, which was like a pillar, was densely packed, restricting her movement.

Ah, Mr. Puppet......

Alice sat quietly, but for some reason she was the first person she thought of at such times.

It turned out to be Mr. Puppet who bought her.

What would he be like if he saw me disappear?

Is it anxiously searching all over the ground?

Or is it normal on the surface, but secretly sad alone?

Or is it ......

Thinking of these possible scenarios, the corners of Alice's mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

She didn't actually resent the god Optos too much.

Even if this monster says it so badly.

and his own mother, I hope she can be safe.

But it's really reluctant to think about it.

The corners of Alice's mouth began to slowly retract, and finally squeezed tightly.

I hope Mr. Puppet won't cry like a tearful man if he doesn't find me.

Although Alice could not imagine the scene where Mr. Puppet shed tears.

After all, I didn't see his mood swings too much.

Time seems to be slowing down, and Alice can even make a few more moves.

It seems to feel something.

Her gaze was on her hand.

I saw that my fingers were tightly pinching a match, and its strength was so great that it made my hand slightly white, as if it was about to be broken.

That was after the last summon, and there was a spare match left behind.

But this time it says that the god Optos is not protecting itself.

Naturally, summoning is difficult.

She looked up at the wailing face that was close to Chi Chi.

Then he looked down at the match in his hand.

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he swiped the match aside.

There was no hesitation in its movements.

"Whew-"

That's the sound of matches touching the wall and rubbing against each other.

This was followed by a few sparks shining.

They emit light and heat, as if they were meteors falling from the sky, directly igniting the head of a match.

A small flame lit in the midst of this gloomy, desperate environment.

It is like the newborn morning sun, warming the cold left behind after a long night.

The shadow of the flame in Alice's blue eyes kept jumping.

The flames seemed to be crumbling under the pressure of the sarcoma, but in fact they were tenacious, and the flames were even bigger.

"I want them to be redeemed."

Alice stared at the endless face wrapped in cloudy slime.

At the moment when the words fell.

The slime melted away in the light like ice and snow, revealing distorted faces.

Then the sarcoma spread upwards from Alice, emitting a gentle white light.

Countless tiny cracks appeared on the faces of those faces.

Light peeked through the cracks, and faces began to disintegrate.

They turn into bright star shavings, which wrap upwards with the light.

"No!"

"How is that possible!"

The monster watched its reserves disappear one by one, and began to feel panic like never before.

It wailed feebly, but soon it could no longer howl.

Because at this point the madness has completely taken over.

It became a beast that acted on instinct.

Sensing the threat of those stars to itself, it chose to flee.

But those points of light are still in hot pursuit.

And not far away, next to the puppet's body.

A crystal that was about to go out seemed to sense something.

Suddenly there was a burst of intense light, which could not be concealed even in the gray mist.

Outside the gray fog, a group of people saw a faint light flickering.

"Kacha!"

A crisp voice sounded.

I saw that the crystals wrapped outside had been scattered all over the ground.
