"Did I disturb you?"
The first thing he said after opening the door was Xiaoniao, with a slight sense of alienation in his tone, which made Tianyang feel slightly sentimental.
If it weren't for Xiaoniao's identity, if it wasn't for Xiaoniao hiding it from him, if it wasn't for Xiaoniao's approach, he had other motives. Then, they would become better friends than they are now, at least without having to talk in this tone.
Unfortunately, life never has an if. Once something has happened, it cannot be erased. It just so happens that the crack has already occurred. Even if we try to make up for it, it will only make it look less obvious, but it cannot cover up the fact that it already exists.
Perhaps Xiaoniao herself had not realized this, but she instinctively distanced herself slightly from the boy. I don't dare to approach as recklessly as before, so be cautious.
Tianyang shook his head and said with a gentle smile: "Can't you sleep? Want to find someone to chat?"
There was an inexplicable glint in the little bird's eyes, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised, forming a smile: "No, let alone how soundly I slept. Ah, I'm not here to chat with you. Come on, Miss Xun just informed us that Mu Qing The priest is awake, would you like to go over and take a look?"
of course yes!
Of all the people, Tianyang was the one who understood Mu Qing's condition best. The female priest could be said to have 'died' once. What condition is she in now? Do you still retain the will of 'Mu Qing'? Are there any abnormalities in your body? Tianyang is eager to confirm these issues.
"I'll change my clothes."
Tianyang hurriedly put on his coat and shoes, and left the room with Xiaoniao.
When they arrived at Mu Qing's room, they heard the news. Han Shu, Priest He, and even Shen Mozhu were here.
Except for Mu Qing and Reverend He, all church members are now dead.
Priest He is a middle-aged man. His soft, slightly yellowed hair covers his broad forehead. The lenses of his glasses, which are frequently wiped, are clean and bright. His eyes were gentle and eager, but not as panicked and fearful as they were in the hall.
After leaving the gap, Tianyang was a little surprised when he saw Priest He. This gentleman was so panicked and frightened before entering the crack that he once thought about escaping. Originally, people like this were more likely to die in the cracks, but I never thought that he would come back safe and sound.
This is such enviable luck. At least compared to Pastor Chen and even Mu Qing, this middle-aged priest's luck can be said to be unparalleled.
In front of the room door, Xun, who was slightly tired, was telling people what he was talking about. When he saw Tianyang, he just nodded slightly and continued: "... Miss Mu Qing has woken up, but she has just woken up. There may be huge irritation in the gap. As a doctor, my advice is that it is best not to see too many people.”
"It's best to send only one person to meet her, preferably someone she is familiar with, so that the stimulation she receives will be minimized."
Several eyes were directed towards Pastor He. Among these people, who was most familiar with Mu Qing, it was undoubtedly Pastor He. After all, they were all members of the church.
But Priest He raised his glasses and said unexpectedly: "No, I think Lieutenant Tianyang is a more suitable candidate. After entering the gap, we separated. Lieutenant Tianyang and Priest Mu Qing were together. They have a common experience."
"If the priest wants to say something, Lieutenant Tianyang is a more suitable person to talk to than me."
Xun nodded and said: "Priest He's words are not unreasonable. If Commander Shen has no objection, let Tianyang go in?"
Of course Shen Mozhu had no objection, so Tianyang became the representative and opened the door to the room.
The light inside the door is soft, and there is a small bed
, Mu Qing sat and leaned against the pillow.
When she heard the door open, she raised her head, and when she saw it was a boy, she smiled and said, "Are you okay?"
Tianyang closed the door gently, took a chair, and sat beside the bed: "I'm fine."
Mu Qing stretched out her hand and stroked Tianyang's face: "You certainly don't look like you're being parasitized. What happened after that thing, that 'splitting agent' entered your body?"
Tianyang's body tensed slightly, and then he slowly relaxed after a moment: "So, do you remember the process of being possessed by it?"
Mu Qing breathed out softly, lowered her head, and looked at her hands on the sheets: "Yes, I remember. I don't know when, I was possessed by it. In this process, I couldn't control myself body, words, deeds, and even thoughts.”
"It was a very scary experience."
"I was like a bystander, squeezed into a corner, forced to watch everything that happened in front of me. My eyes were the windows through which I observed the outside world, and it was difficult for me to get close to those two windows."
"There is a short distance between me and the window, but no matter how hard I try, I can't get close. I can only watch from a distance and hear some vague sounds."
"It's like being in water, the sound penetrates many obstacles before it is received by me. I am like a walking zombie, unconscious."
"Even if I see you 'killing' me, I won't feel anything at all."
Tianyang coughed dryly: "Well, I..."
Mu Qing's gentle and warm hand patted Tianyang's shoulder gently: "It's okay, I heard what you said at that time. You were right what you said and what you did was correct. In that case, you can't agree to it The request. Killing me is equivalent to saving me."
Tianyang sighed: "It's a pity that I couldn't do it in the end. What do you still remember?"
Mu Qing shook her head gently: "The memory lasts until it passes from me and enters your body. After that, there is darkness. When I wake up, I am already here. I have no memory of what happened in the middle."
fine.
She didn't see the process of me using the relics, didn't know that Bo Xun was 'eaten' by the person in my body, and didn't realize that I made a deal with Yama.
Tianyang felt a little relieved and looked at the female priest calmly. He organized his words and said slowly: "Priest Mu Qing, I suggest you forget about the process of possession. I can keep this secret for you. "
Mu Qing's eyes were blank at first, then gradually turned into gratitude, and finally became calm.
"Thank you."
"I know what you want to say."
"No, although I was very scared and would feel terrified. But I still decided to confess everything to the church."
Mu Qing looked out the window, which was filled with eternal darkness in the reverse world: "When that thing was in my body, at some level, I shared something with it. It dug into my memory, and I peeked into its knowledge. "
"I believe that this experience will be of great help to the church in studying the reverse world and these 'invisible beings'. Even so, it may bring me some painful and bad experiences."
"But as a priest and as a believer in the Lord, I have a duty."
"I must give everything to sing the glory of the Lord."
She drew the Holy Symbol of the Lord of War in front of her.
What a man of firm faith.
Tianyang said softly: "Then I can only bless you."
If it were Tianyang, the boy would never reveal this process to the church. He could probably imagine what would happen if he said it.
I guess you will never be free in this life, right
"By the way, how did we get out?" Mu Qing raised her head and asked the question that troubled Tianyang the most.
Fortunately, the boy had already thought of the answer.
"have no idea."
Tianyang shook his head: "After that thing entered my body, I fell into a coma. When I woke up, I had already returned to the base with you. Right next to me, there was a strange finger. It faded in color before my eyes and turned into "Ashen."
Mu Qing said with certainty: "That finger is the Splinter."
"Strange, how could this happen..."
Mu Qing thought for a moment and tried to explain: "I can only think of one possibility. Your body rejects it. It seems that your will is stronger than mine, so when it thought it had taken over the skin, it took me back to the base. At that time, I was rejected by you.”
"In the end, it can only leave your body. Now, it has either died or has escaped into the cracks again. No matter which one it is, it is a good thing for us."
"Just as someone who has been possessed by the 'Invisible One', the church and the fortress will probably pay close attention to you and may secretly monitor you for a period of time to prevent accidents. If you feel anything abnormal, such as hearing and visual hallucinations If so, the church must be notified immediately so that we can intervene in a timely manner.”
Sure enough, in this kind of matter, the answer full of loopholes is the most appropriate. On the contrary, if you make up a seemingly perfect answer, the church will probably think that it is a lie by the possessed person.
Moreover, Mu Qing also helped me figure out the process of leaving. As a clergyman who had been possessed, the church would definitely trust her judgment.
They will be monitored, which is a bit troublesome. So how do I go to the Gray Market and attend the secret party...
There was a knock on the door.
Kaoru opened the door and said, "Visiting time is up."
Tianyang stood up and said, "Have a good rest, Priest Mu Qing. When I get back, I will go to the church to visit you."
Mu Qing laughed and said, "Take care of yourself too."
Leave the room.
Shen Mozhu immediately asked: "How is the situation of the priest?"
Tianyang thought for a moment: "It's very stable. His emotional and physical conditions are no different from those of normal people."
Shen Mozhu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I can retire in two years, but I don't want to be involved in the church's mess at this critical time. If something happens to her, I will definitely ask the church people to do it." So annoying."
Han Shu laughed loudly: "Uncle Shen, let's have a few drinks to celebrate our honesty."
Shen Mozhu glared at him: "Are you a pig? The situation inside the Beidou base is still unclear. Maybe Yan Mo will jump out. Drinking at this time, Han Shu, where is your brain?"
Han Shu looked aggrieved: "I don't think you're too nervous. I want you to relax."
Shen Mozhu kicked him: "If you want me to relax, just go down to the base and take a look around to see how the situation is down there."
Han Shu said awkwardly: "Okay, okay, why don't I go?"
Shen Mozhu pulled Tianyang over again: "Go and write a report. I want to know what happened after you entered the crack."
Tianyang nodded his head and agreed: "I obey."
