As far as Esther knew, the dream should have ended here.

But it's as if someone has knocked over the palette, and after falling into darkness, the image that has been shown to her has resurfaced in color.

At the center of the picture is a young but melancholy lady, whose quiet temperament and feminine appearance can easily impress others. The lady wore a ruffled hat, her long smooth blond hair was draped around her cheeks, her green eyes were unfocused, her lower abdomen was raised high under her long loose skirt, and she was putting her hands on her belly with a trance smile on her face.

The lady walked slowly into the Blackthorn Security Company and into the reception foyer, which Esther knew all too well, where Crane, Leonard, and Roseanne were all there.

They seemed to say something, but there was no more sound from the dream, only intermittent tinnitus, and Esther seemed to hear a heartbeat.

Why is there a heartbeat sound?

Crane ran through the back door and down the underpass, presumably to report to Dunn. Leonard poured warm water for the lady and sat stiffly on the couch. Esther struggled to make out the way their lips opened and closed, and barely recognized the word that appeared most frequently, and that was a name:

Lanlius.

When Crane turned back again, he whispered to persuade Roseanne away, and Esther saw the redness in Roseanne's eyes and the admiration in them.

The sound of the heartbeat gradually became more and more intense, and the sound of "bang" knocked directly on Esther's hearing, and the humming sound seemed to compete with it, and it also became louder and louder.

Siga was on duty at Chanis' door, and after a brief exchange with Crane, she went in and retrieved a seal, which was the 2-105 Vascular Thief, a thick, rigid vessel with strange stealing abilities.

This scene made Esther instantly recognize the time when this happened, this is Xiga's schedule today!

So that's all what's going to happen today?

The scene turns back to the reception hall, Leonard's demeanor is still so subtle, he is not a person who is too good at disguising emotions, especially after the lady directly ripped a handful of hair from her head, Leonard's face has deteriorated again.

Handful after handful, the lady seemed completely unaware of her abnormality, she kept picking up the cup and drinking water, taking a sip and putting it down, then grabbing a handful of hair down, as if she had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Her expression became more and more distorted, until it was no longer her hair but her own thin, smooth cheeks, and she easily tore off a strip of flesh with her fingernails, and smiled apologetically at Leonard.

The sound of her heartbeat began to rise and fall, as if it were strong with fear, and the humming sound in opposition became clearer and clearer, and Esther suddenly remembered where she had heard a similar sound, when the dots of light in her hair were working violently!

Leonard suddenly got up and walked to the back door, where Crane and Dunn were there, Leonard took the seal from Crane's hand, and Dunn was holding a silver square box in his hand.

They were all ready for battle, Siga was still guarding Chanis Gate, the rest of the civilian staff had been evacuated, and according to the internal procedures of the night watchers, the police should have begun to evacuate the residents of the vicinity.

The moment Dunn stepped into the reception hall, the lady pointed at Dunn and stood up screaming, her screams suddenly appearing outside the silent image, causing the buzzing in Esther's ears to pause for a moment:

"You want to kill my child!"

All the images immediately dissolved into a blur of color, like an abstract painting, so that Esther could not see anything clearly. The shrill sound sounded again and again, like smashing through the calm pebbles on the surface of the lake, setting off ripples in circles and circles.

"You must die!"

“——”

The sound seemed to be stopped by some force, the blurred patches of color swayed, and then, everything Esther "saw" was swallowed up by a blinding ball of light like the sun - she could almost directly feel the purifying power coming from the picture, pure, wild and violent, giving her a plausible sense of familiarity.

But it wasn't over, and Esther's eyes remained a chaotic palette, and as several black figures collided and staggered again, Esther knew that the night watchmen were still holding on to the battle.

From one of the figures spread a large dark thread, almost woven into a web, about to envelop the most agile figure in the room, the half-black, half-white.

"Wow-"

A baby's cry shattered all the scenes, dissipating the humming sound that Esther was struggling to support.

Since the scene unfolded, it was the baby's heartbeat that had been disturbing Esther's vision, and when it cried, all images and sounds sank into complete darkness.

Esther sat up abruptly from the bed, breathing hard like a drowning man who was almost suffocating, and only Esther's own throbbing heart was constantly tapping at her chest.

The moment she opened her eyes, Esther saw something strange around her: the black stone house was illuminated by dozens of points of light, all of which were following a circular path, turning in regular circles, drawing countless circles in the air, slowly hovering around Esther.

Esther watched this strange and beautiful scene in amazement for more than ten seconds, and then those points of light slowly stopped, floating disorderly in the air, she rubbed the throbbing pain of her right eyebrow, and felt that her whole person was about to collapse.

After Esther beckoned, the flickering dots of light approached as she wished, clinging back into Esther's hair and burrowing into her head.

What is this, parasiticism?

Esther was finally able to calm down and regain her thoughts, and although her head still ached, at least the horrible voices in her ears were gone.

What is the origin of the good-looking pregnant woman and the baby in her womb? When she chatted with Leonard, the "Lanerus" that she frequently mentioned was clearly a name, and it sounded familiar......

Esther sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing her right eyebrow, and at the same time touched the lampshade, letting the candlelight illuminate her room, the familiar environment made her mind calm a lot, and after reviewing the details of the dream twice, she decisively got up and changed her clothes, ready to report the matter to the captain.

Esther rushed into Dunn's office in a panic, her superficial anxiety making Dunn's heart tighten: "What's going on?" ”

The moment she looked at Dunn, Esther's vision suddenly became hazy, and the color-like scene unfolded before her eyes again, although it was only for a few seconds, but it was enough for her to see the specific scene:

The captain, dressed in a thin black trench coat, opened his five fingers and inserted his heart into his heart, pulling it out and putting it into a silver box.

That heart is still beating.

But in the end, the power of this heart was completely absorbed by the object in the box that emitted black silk threads, and it turned into a point of light and completely collapsed.

The bloodied, hollow figure in his chest fell backwards and fell on a broken wall.

It was the Black Thorn Security Company, whose ground buildings had been destroyed after the battle.
