The city of Etan fell into chaos and cold winter. More and more people were infected with strange diseases. The destruction of boilers and heating plunged the city into an extremely cold situation. Dozens of people froze to death overnight. Because There were actually several families who died of poisoning due to burning coal out of ignorance of the cold.
The next day, the firewood on the market was robbed. A large number of city residents poured out of Etan City and cut down the nearby snow maple forest. However, it only lasted for a week before it was exhausted. People began to demolish the houses. Demolish various public buildings to make fires or cook meals.
Panic spread throughout the city. Because of the disappearance of the Temple priests and Templar Knights, some people became unscrupulous. At first, it was just robbery. On the eighth day, a family of three in the east of the city were killed. Inside the house, the hostess was still humiliated before her death. This scene completely plunged the city of Etan into chaos.
Every household stayed behind closed doors, and gunfire rang out from time to time on the streets. Fires broke out in the original granary in the chaos, and the food was burned. Soon, several shops in the city were robbed, and food began to be in short supply. .
They began to slaughter ice bears, kill camel beasts, and go out to look for fruits and food. However, the food became less and less. People started to practice making fires and did not dare to cook, because the aroma of the food would definitely attract hordes of thugs.
Helen carefully locked the door, rushed into the room, and looked at Bart and her sister Agatha who were lying on the bed. Helen's sister Agatha also contracted the strange disease and only passed three years. By the end of the day, the person had become extremely thin and lost the vitality that he used to have like a female leopard.
In three days, Agatha transformed from a young girl to a fifty-year-old man. As the devil's sacrifice ceremony was gradually completed, the power of the curse eroded faster and faster. It originally took more than ten days to age. To the extent that five days is now enough to kill someone.
The medical clinic has long been closed. As for the patients inside, it is not necessary to think about the outcome. Most of the patients who fell ill later were just waiting to die at home.
There were corpses everywhere on the streets and in every house, either dead of illness, frozen to death, or killed in the chaos. Darkness and death shrouded the sky throughout Etan City, and the smell of rot and stench filled the streets, even from afar. The carrion birds that came began to hover over Etan City, and some people began to escape from Etan City, but most people knew that they would probably die on the way.
In a short period of time, Etan City seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell on earth.
"Bart! Agatha! Look, I found food!"
Helen took out two maple leaf fruits, the unripe kind, but at this time, panic had been spreading in Etan City for ten days, and the food was enough to drive people crazy.
"Agatha! Agatha, you eat! Eat and see, it's very..."
Helen put one in Bart's hand, then sat next to Agatha, hugging her sister. Obviously Helen was the sister, but at this moment Agatha was aging like Helen's mother. Helen wanted to After feeding her, Agatha, who was so weak that she seemed to have only one breath left, shook her head.
"No need, sister, my illness can't be cured, I... will die soon!"
Agatha looked at her sister, with only despair in her eyes: "Don't waste food! And leave me alone!"
Helen still supported Agatha, even chewed the maple leaf fruit, fed it to Agatha bit by bit, and then she felt at ease.
At this moment, Bart's soul power, which was consumed by the Seal of the Saint, gradually dissipated. His whole body was weak and no different from a cursed person, except that his energy and spirit were not bad. He was trying every means to stop the Saint's attack. Although he has the power of the seal, he will inevitably die. In just a few days, his soul will completely dissipate.
But he also knows that in a few days, the door to the abyss will open, and by then he will be able to fully recover, and he will be able to go one step further, possess more powerful power, and become a powerful demon baron in the abyss.
Bart chewed the maple leaf fruit with all his strength and ate it. At this moment, he suddenly looked at Helen: "Helen, why don't you eat it?"
Helen looked at Bart and said, "I'll try again later, you just need to eat first!"
Bart reacted immediately: "No, only two? No food left?"
Helen was speechless: "I'm fine!"
Bart instantly became silent. For some reason, it was as if a light came from Helen's body, illuminating the whole room, illuminating his ugliness and hatred, making his skin feel painful as the light stung him.
On the fourteenth day, Helen fell ill.
Three patients appeared at home, Bart was lying on the bed in the corner, and Helen was lying on another large bed with Agatha in her arms. The three of them were silent, as if waiting for death in silence.
Agatha's aging hair was white, like an eighty-year-old grandmother, and her skin was covered with brown patches that drooped on her bones. She looked intimidating, but Helen didn't mind hugging her. Looking at her, Agatha seemed to be unable to speak at this moment, only hanging with her last breath, and she might die at any time.
"Agatha! Don't be afraid! Sister is with you, sister... sister..."
"Sister will always protect you!"
After saying this, Helen, who had a smile on her face, couldn't say any more for some reason. Tears continued to flow from her eyes, dripping onto her collar, and she hugged Agatha tightly.
When night came, Agatha seemed to be having a flashback. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Helen. Helen held herself up weakly and steeled herself to look at Agatha.
"Sister, I saw the light. I seemed to see another world. I..."
"Mom... Mom is here to pick me up, and Abba, and... and..." Agatha's hoarse voice made people feel as harsh as fingers scraping against a template, but her words made people shed tears involuntarily.
Agatha let go of Helen's hand, tilted her head and fell into Helen's arms. Helen looked at this scene, her whole body trembling violently, as if no moment could have given her such a big impact, the unexpected death of her father. No, not even his mother's death from illness, but only Agatha, Agatha was everything to him, and as long as Agatha was around, she was happy.
Helen cried loudly, crying like a child, desperately holding Agatha's body, tears streaming down her face.
At this moment, Bart looked at Helen holding Agatha, lying in the dark corner of the room. His chin was trembling constantly. He turned his head and did not dare to look at this scene. He was afraid of seeing Helen's eyes and hearing her. voice, afraid to see her crying and desperate.
At this time, suddenly, the beads Helen wore on her chest bloomed with blue light, filling the entire room like the ocean and water flow.
Bart immediately turned back and looked at Helen and the glowing beads, and suddenly remembered a legend.
"Dina's Pearl, the legendary wishing orb!"
Bart immediately saw that as Agatha was held in Helen's arms, the demons and curses that had originally enveloped her body were being dispelled bit by bit, and her body was gradually filled with vitality. The originally depleted body became fuller bit by bit. As he stood up, his skin began to become actinic and his hair turned into its original red color.
"It turns out that the legend is true!"
Bart stood up from his bed little by little, watching Agatha recover little by little, and thanks to the curse from the demon lord of the abyss, she regained her health. Agatha, who was obviously completely dead, came back to life again.
"The power to bring the dead back to life, the power to really bring the dead back to life, is even more magical than resurrection!"
Helen stared blankly at Agatha floating in the blue light. The moment she fell, she caught her and held her as if she were embracing the whole world. She was afraid that he would accidentally fall out of her arms. passed again.
Bart said to Helen: "Let's send Agatha out together. Only by leaving here can she survive. As long as she stays in the city, she will be cursed again, and when the gate of the abyss opens, the entire city will Everyone will die!"
Helen looked at Bart blankly, not understanding what the person she had rescued was talking about. Bart looked into Helen's eyes, and his originally fierce and ferocious face softened at this moment: "Believe me, only in this way can we... Agatha’s life can be saved!”
