Chapter 337: Sisters

Catherine re-entered the forest after Kali, and Number 33 followed behind Catherine.

Kali's speed was so fast that even if she was carrying a large black goat, it didn't take a few minutes to throw Catherine away, but Catherine didn't give up, because the blood of the black goat was like a signpost, all the way into the depths of the forest.

However, the blood stains have a tendency to gradually fade and thin, and I don't know if it is because the blood of the black goat has finally run out, or if Kali is sucking blood while running.

After chasing for a while, Catherine had to stop, because she had not seen any blood since just now, and she could only chase blindly.

No. 33 caught up with her panting, her throat was so dry that she wanted to peel off the bark like a goat and munch it to quench her thirst with the sap.

Catherine was also very thirsty, and the last time she and No. 33 drank clean water, they drank the glass of orange juice that the flight attendant forcibly handed over to them on the plane, and they knew that they would want an extra glass.

"It's not an option. No. 33 swallowed, "Now that the offense and defense have changed, the Kali who has drunk blood is no longer so thirsty, and we are getting thirstier and thirstier, maybe she will attack us in turn." ”

Now they are fighting, let alone fighting, if they really want to fight, they will have the strength of three axes, and it would be good if they could play 50% of their state. They were able to scare off Kali just now, mainly by Catherine's cross sword.

Catherine had just opened her mouth to say something when she heard a rumbling thunder in the distance.

Is it going to rain?

When they looked up, they could only see a small patch of the sky above them, broken by the canopy, as if there were indeed more clouds.

When they need water the most, it would be great if there was a heavy rain, and as for whether they would have diarrhea after drinking rainwater, they couldn't care so much for the time being.

"Listen!"

Catherine condensed.

In addition to the muffled thunder, there seemed to be something else mixed in with the thunder.

Number 33 also heard, "Is it the sound of a helicopter's propeller?"

From yesterday to today, they have heard the sound of the propellers of the helicopter several times, but they have only heard the sound of it, but they have not heard it.

"Go up the tree and have a look. ”

Catherine proposed, and jumped on the branches of the trees first, and climbed as high as she could.

Since there has been no large-scale human activity for many years, the trees in this forest have grown almost tall, and in order to get more sunlight, each tree grows tall and thin, like a giraffe, so it is difficult to climb up to two-thirds of the height because the branches of the canopy are too thin to support people.

Number 33 also climbed to another tree and did not stop until he could climb any further, but even then, his vision was only slightly wider.

They saw several helicopters hurrying past the horizon in a line, with no intention of flying towards them.

No. 33 has some tightness in his chest, how do these rescue teams do it, why are they always so far away?

They were unaware of the official search and rescue guidelines, and the area they were in was not within the official priority search range, and the officials did not even expect that there were victims at this location, because the models given by aviation experts showed that after the plane disintegrated, both passengers and wreckage would continue to fly forward in a parabola form before landing.

The official didn't know that the two of them left the plane so early, and they didn't expect that they had a parachute, which fell almost vertically, so even if the official would search this area, it would probably not come until half a month to a month later when the finishing work was done.

After a few seconds, the helicopter team disappeared, and the roar of the propellers also disappeared, and it seemed that they noticed that the sky was about to change, and the search and rescue ended early today.

If it were night, Catherine lit the crosssword, maybe the search and rescue personnel would notice the light she created in the dark night, but unfortunately, the search and rescue team only works during the day, and the search and rescue at night is neither dangerous nor efficient, let alone working in a thunderstorm, and the helicopter is at risk of being hit by lightning.

Catherine and 33 jumped off the tree in disappointment, and it seemed that they could not count on the official rescue team unless they moved in the direction of the helicopter flight, but when they got there in a few days, maybe the rescue team would be in a different area to search.

"Forget it, before it rains, let's find a place to hide, cut down a few trees by the way, and make a few simple wooden barrels, wooden bowls, etc. to hold the rainwater, and I don't know how long it will take to rain next time." Number 33 proposed.

The others can bear it, thirst is really deadly, Catherine is also anxious to get out of the dilemma of lack of water, and agrees to the proposal of No. 33.

They made a few marks around it, then returned to the foot of the ridge and found a corner formed by two boulders huddled together, barely sheltering from the wind and rain, and then cut down a few more trees, cut them into several sections, hollowed out the inside of the trunk with short knives and goat horns, and then used the scraps to form a flare to collect rainwater, which was the only solution they could make at the moment.

The goat's horns are sharp, much sharper than the short knives commonly used in size 33, and the texture is extremely hard, with a certain toughness in the hardness, and the bottom and middle are fine, but the closer you get to the tip, the sharper the edges.

No. 33 became more and more comfortable with it, and she liked it very much, she felt that this horn could be made into a weapon similar to a short knife - cut from the middle, the middle and upper sections were about the same length as the short knife, and the middle and lower parts were used as storage scabbards.

The fly in the ointment is that it would be nice to get another horn, just to make a pair, perfect for the double knives she is using now, and then slightly different at the handle, one thicker and the other thinner, and the two are threaded on the inside and outside, so that they can be combined into a long knife if necessary.

Thundered.

They had just made a few improvised wooden barrels when the sound of thunder came over their heads, followed by a crackling rain of beans.

They couldn't wait, they didn't even wait for a second, they directly held the rain with their palms to drink, and even opened their mouths to catch the rain, for fear that it would be a common thunderstorm in summer, the kind that would stop in a minute or two.

Fortunately, after the thunder rolled over, the rain did not abate, and the wooden barrels were quickly filled, and they each held a bucket and greedily poured it into their stomachs, obviously their stomachs were full, and refused to continue drinking, but they still kept drinking, until the rain overflowed from their mouths, and they still stopped unsatisfied, and poured themselves to the point of vomiting.

The rain in the forest is clean and not full of dust and sulfide like the rain in the city.

"When the rain stops, let's get a few animals to eat, and after drinking so much water, you should be hungry in a while. No. 33 said, "I think those goats just now are good, they are quite fat. ”

She glanced at Catherine's cross sword across her lap, "You don't need to make a fire, just put the meat pieces on your sword and roast them, it should be cooked quickly, right?"

"My sword is not for you to roast lamb on a sizzling plate!" Catherine grimaced.

Number 33 felt much more relaxed, because she had completed her revenge, and she would be able to hold her head high when she saw her colleagues in the future, plus she had drunk enough water, and if she filled her stomach again and successfully left the forest, she would have no regrets.

Catherine was in no mood to laugh, she had lost four sisters in her mission, and she had been run away by Kali, and she was now in a state of confusion as to what to do.

Letting Kali go away is not her style, and if the vampire Kali walks out of the forest, she will definitely cause disaster to all sentient beings.

And Lilith, I don't know if Lilith is still in the forest, Lilith is her ultimate goal.

"When your monastery hears about the crash, will it send someone to you?" asked 33.

Catherine came back from her contemplation and thought for a moment, "I guess so, my sister should know I'm still alive, so someone will come." ”

She thought of Arabella, but as a foreigner, the messenger of the hermitage should still turn to the local Momiji Academy for help, otherwise it would be difficult to find a needle in a haystack in the forest if she was unfamiliar with the place.

"You still have a sister?" No. 33 thought of Fu Su, and couldn't help but have a headache while being interested, "She won't be the kind of person who is clumsy and has to braid your hair, right?"

She didn't tell Fu Su when she left this time, otherwise Fu Su would definitely pester her to get to the bottom of it.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Catherine glared at her dissatisfied, "my sister is well-behaved, sensible, obedient, ingenious, beautiful and lovely like an angel, with a beautiful voice, the best sister in the world." ”

"Yo, can't you see that you're still a sister?" No. 33 unexpectedly found a cute spot for Catherine, "Do all sisters spoil their sisters so much?"

Catherine exasperated, "What I said is the truth, and if you have the opportunity to meet her in the future, you will understand that I have no exaggeration!"

No. 33 didn't believe it, she felt that Catherine must be a deep sister, so she praised her sister to the extent that it was unreal.

"Where's your sister now?" asked Number 33.

"Also in the monastery. ”

"Is there a Monastery in Mount Aare?" asked No. 33.

Catherine corrected solemnly: "The monastery is the monastery, and within us, it is only called the monastery, the so-called Monastery of Mount Aare, but outsiders say so, and then we say this in order to adapt to outsiders. ”

Oh, number 33 understood, it seems that Catherine's sister is also in the monastery of Mount Aare.

"She's a nun too?" seems like a nonsense.

"Hmm. ”

No. 33 hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "What about your parents?"

This is not the ancient times when religion was rampant, so there should not be a parent who sent both sisters to a convent to become nuns, right? If it makes sense that Catherine became a nun out of her own will and faith, why is her sister also a nun?

"They died, when Alabella and I were very young. Catherine's expression darkened.

Number 33 has a sense of empathy.

"I'm also an orphan. No. 33 held his chin and stared at the drizzling rain.

"But I'm worse than you, I haven't even seen my parents, I don't know if they're dead or alive, if they're alive, why throw me away?" she smiled self-deprecatingly, "Is it that I was so naughty as a baby, crying all day long, and annoying them to cry?"

Catherine glanced at her unexpectedly, and her tone softened, and she comforted: "It should be that something happened to them, or they lost you because of some accident, such as you were stolen by a kidnapper." ”

"Probably. No. 33 shrugged, "I don't care anymore anyway, even if they appear in front of me now, I don't want to jump into their arms and cry, and it's not a family soap opera, I will probably just say 'lucky' and say goodbye." ”

Catherine's lips moved, "If it's worse than miserable, I should be worse than you, because my parents were killed in an accident or by illness, but in front of my eyes." ”

"Huh?"

No. 33 was agitated, the hairs on his body stood on end, and he turned his head to stare at Catherine in shock.

That's right, what is even worse than the death of parents when they were children is that they have never seen their parents, because children whose parents died when they were children at least once had been favored by their parents...... However, if a parent is killed in front of a child, it is probably better than never seeing the parents.

There is no wind, and the rain line goes straight up and down, and there will be no sign of stopping for a while and a half.

The rain clattered on the water of the simple wooden barrels, and together with the rustle of the leaves on the trees, it formed a relaxing and distant music.

Catherine stared at the rain curtain and unconsciously clenched the hilt of the crosssword.

"It was my mother who killed my father. She said, in a flat tone, but underneath it seemed as if a storm was converging.

No. 33 doesn't dare to answer, is this a terrible family ethics drama?

Catherine continued: "Because, Lilith bit her, turned her into a vampire, and then ......"

No. 33's mouth opened wide, and she instantly understood why Catherine had such a big obsession with Lilith, and she had to fight to the death as soon as she met on the plane.

On the plane, Lilith and Catherine seemed to have known each other for a long time, and No. 33 noticed it at that time, but at that time there was no time to ask more, and now the truth is revealed.

If 33 were replaced by Catherine, her mother would be transformed into a vampire and killed—most likely by biting her father—and she would also have a great hatred for Lilith and would spend her life hunting down the demon.

"That was a long time ago, when I was only seven years old, and the blessing of misfortune was ...... My sister was born blind and she didn't remember much at the age of four and a half, so I put my hand over her ear......"

Catherine looked down at her chest, as if she saw her seven-year-old self holding her four-and-a-half-year-old sister in her arms and covering her sister's ears tightly, while her eyes widened and the scene of her parents' death was etched in her memory.

At least, she protected her sister, and the angelic sister only needs to grow up like an angel, and it is her duty to avenge her parents.
