Chapter 9: Pray for Your Attention

Who the hell are these guys?!

As he walked through the tunnels with his brother in his arms, this thought crossed Colin's mind.

Along with this thought came a question.

That's his father, the honest-looking redneck......

Who is it?!

With similar questions in mind, Colin led his mother and brother forward.

But before he could get there.

"Wait...... Wait......"

Behind him, the mother panted and said, "Colin, wait. ”

Colin turned around: "What's wrong?" Mother? ”

Mother took Colin's hand: "We haven't put all the things in the house yet, if someone comes in, they will probably be snatched away." And your dad, he hasn't ...... yet."

When have you been still caring about things at home?!

Colin was a little annoyed, but remembered that his mother didn't see the danger of those guys at all, so he could only patiently reply, "It's okay, let's just go outside and avoid it first." Will be back soon, dad he may need some time...... Pack up and keep up. ”

Right.

It only takes a moment for the father to catch up with them.

There is no need to worry too much about the mother, just let her continue to know nothing, which is a good thing for her.

All you need to care about is yourself.

Hugging his brother tightly, Colin thought in his heart.

Behind him, his mother wiped the sweat from her head and smiled plainly: "That's right." ”

"It really scares me, is there an earthquake? Or is there a debt collector coming? I remember that we still owe some people in our family, and if we talk to them, we might be able to ......."

Halfway through the conversation, it stopped abruptly.

It was as if something had slashed across from a distance, and it passed through the tunnel in front of it like a glimpse of light, grazing the walls on both sides at a rapid pace.

The speed of this thing was so fast that Colin, who was now a transcendent, didn't have time to react.

The only thing he could do was bow his head.

Other than that, he didn't even have a word to spare.

Because his younger brother was held in his arms, after Colin bowed his head, his younger brother also bent down, avoiding the invisible edge.

But......

"Mom......?"

Only after dodging the danger did Colin raise his head.

Colin saw a scene he might never forget in his life.

His mother, who was still chattering just now.

From the center of its face, a red line of blood spread to both sides.

Then, it was blown by the wind.

The upper half of my mother's face, which was still haired, fell into the dust next to her with a "click".

Her eyes were still looking in Colin's direction until this time.

And the bottom half of her face is still smiling.

Blood trickled down the smooth cracks, soaking her smile before falling to the dust like her body.

And with the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, there is also surging blood like a wave.

All this blood splattered on Colin's body, and he was covered in scarlet!

The field of vision is red.

In the bloodied gaze, Colin repeated again blankly: "Mom? ”

As he spoke, his body's instinct prompted him to raise his hand and press it against his brother's eyes.

And directly behind the tunnel.

A hoarse voice came slowly: "Missed? ”

"It's okay, the transcendent isn't dead, I can barely react at a speed," it was another voice, sounding younger, "As for the others, it doesn't matter if they kill." ”

"Well, take the mission objective anyway."

Two men dressed in black walked slowly from the direction of the passage: "That vision must be ours. ”

"The 'Holy Son' needs healing, and the forbidden knowledge that induces the vision is likely to restore him."

"Oh, Holy Son? Do you really believe that? To be true to the doctrine, He had to live at least...... Thousands of years. Do you really think anyone can survive from before the cataclysm to now? ”

"Shut up and don't talk about doctrine. Anyway, you do it, cut off the limbs of that transcendent, and put it in a 'cupboard'. If not for the Son, it is for the Virgin. ”

"Yes, yes, got it."

The younger man in black sighed and tapped his fingers.

Then, Colin could feel the invisible blade once again sprinting back from the end of the tunnel, gliding against the wall, seemingly back into the young man in black's hands.

"Hmmm......"

Shaking his head, the young man in black made a bitter face: "The price of this taboo is too heavy, I feel that I see that I am too grandma." ”

"Grandma?"

"Yes, she mutated in front of me. At that time, another face grew out of her mouth, and it was her own head, exactly the same. The new face was still looking at me in horror and told me to get rid of the imposter on it. ”

"What did you do then?"

"It's easy," the young man in black stretched out his hand and threw it at Colin, "of course kill both." ”

The voice fell.

The invisible blade was wrapped in a huge wind pressure, and slashed straight towards Colin's front door!

It was an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Just feeling the trajectory of that forbidden object made Colin brow ache, almost tearing his head apart!

Can't hide.

Colin thought to himself.

But he was relieved.

After witnessing his mother's death in front of him, his spirit almost collapsed as if something had broken.

Maybe death would have been a relief for him.

Just when he was thinking so.

In the next second, a burst of light suddenly erupted in his arms.

And with this light, there is a familiar "thrust".

This is......

Colin felt the power blankly.

He knew exactly where this power came from.

Because not long ago, it was the same force that pushed him into the room and told him to enter the basement.

And opposite him, the two black-clothed men changed their faces: ", it's 'film'!" ”

"That old thing also put a 'film' on his son!"

The voice fell.

Under their noses, Colin's figure slowly faded away.

The remaining two men in black looked at each other.

"This is a problem."

The hoarse voice said, "Your Excellency is still fighting with that old thing, and there are less than ten people who can use it now." ”

"Yes," the young man in black sighed again, "anyway, that's all I have to do now." ”

Find it.

"I'll take a few people to the snowy mountains, and you're around here. Kill people when you see them, don't leave them behind, you know? ”

"Understood, understood."

After communicating with each other, the two went their separate ways.

Nothing but blood and mess remained.

And when Colin woke up again.

Others are already at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

The snow floating in mid-air pressed down on his face, making his facial expression distort and twitch, as if a flame was burning.

"Go up the mountain."

His voice was hoarse and distorted: "I'm going up the mountain." ”

He just hugged his brother and escaped countless searches and went up the mountain.

And now.

He was hugging his brother in a cabin.

The cold and overexerted physical strength had already made Colin dizzy and barely able to stand up.

But his gaze kept burning, staring at the mirror in front of him.

Using all his strength, he climbed to the mirror step by step.

Then he stretched out his hand with the last of his mother's blood.

Slowly point on the mirror.

"I ...... Pray for your attention. ”

In the midst of his chapped lips was Colin's almost instinctive chanting: "Please show me the way, great ......"

"Lord of Truth."

Underneath his word.

Inside the mirror, like the ripples of water.
