Slowly, the slender shadow on the top of the mountain moved with one foot in front of the other, holding a spear in one hand, and still ZìYóu in the other. Thanks to the dark sky, I couldn't find any feature of the shadow, except for its murderous eyes, burning the purest hatred and anger I have ever seen.
"Your presence has defiled my princess's temple." The shadow spoke in a serious voice, making my heart a little bit tingling. "So you all will die."
Incredibly fast, the shadow rushed forward, the spear pointed directly at my chest.
The guardian of the Sinner's Garden is back.
I yawned, yawned big. It's been several weeks, and this kind of sleeplessness doesn't help much. Strangely, I didn't feel any fatigue at all, despite these painful prolonged periods of time I remained awake. This is just a side effect of all the souls I have absorbed, a positive effect, I thought so at the beginning, until I realized how long a day can last.
These two weeks have been very busy. From one side of the map to the other, I piled up scraps in some underground facilities until the remaining four siblings were discovered and released. Naturally, the old world won't just forgive my small attacks, of course I have expected it. Nevertheless, being able to predict such obvious movements did not alleviate the boring struggle in the small-scale battles, which made it possible for only one of the six of us to have actual combat effectiveness with the other.
These five brothers and sisters, if you can call them that, they are a powerful force for mankind. I must commend the old world for the methods used in their pursuit; they must have figured it out. Had it not been for me, they might have successfully retaken the fugitive. Four of these powers seem to directly attack the mind, while only one can indulge in the physical world itself. Because of this, the creatures that attack us are not made of meat and bones, but are made of different metal components fused together. It seems that these creatures, or the machines I have learned, do not have their own thoughts or wisdom, but are controlled by something or someone, far away from its safety, which proves how weak our opponents are.
"Where are we going?" the old man on my right croaked. ""Does this take a long time? I am worried about other people. "
"Can you stop talking about this?" I groaned in pain. "Seriously, you have been worrying about your worries all the time! I have troubles too, you know, but you didn't hear me chattering how much I want to see what my dear Lily is doing. I mean, That animal should be able to complete the task I set for him, right? I told him that I would help him solve the problem in return, but it has been several weeks and the constellations on the stars have not changed. This is not a good thing, right? What if he fails? Well, if it does happen, I think I can only cure her, but what if it’s too long? What if she is dead? So what should I do? ? My life will become meaningless! What should I do? What... "
Just as my heartbeat speeded up to the peak, I cut myself off. This is not the first time I have left like this. I'm pretty sure this is the effect of fear, but I don't know if his ability leaked out uncontrollably, or if he did it intentionally. I bet a lot of money on the latter, because I can hardly believe that he will let his family be ordered to run around like slaves.
I turned to the white-haired grandfather and looked at him accusingly. His face remained in the state they usually worried about, making it difficult to determine if he just wanted me to have a heart attack. Fortunately, the ability of our other companion will not affect my thinking, otherwise I will have all kinds of troubles.
As soon as I met each of them, I noticed their uniqueness. Just like "Fear", his ability makes a person's soul so scared, it only takes a few seconds for their heart to beat fiercely and explode. I don't know if their names are just labels given to them by the old world, but they seem to represent their abilities, and strangely, their personality is perfect. Obviously, the people who came up with these tags didn't have any creativity, which reminded me of some pictures of extremely lazy office workers.
"Anyway," I calmed down and began to say, "If the thief succeeds, we don't have to do this. If we meet him again, you can treat him as a chew toy or something."
"But how long does it take? What if something happens to other people?"
"They'll be fine, won't they? Your little brother has the ability to ensure this, doesn't he? Besides, if half of the metal organisms are beneficial to other organisms, it will be easier for us."
"As I fear. You leave them behind, hoping they are bait!"
"Of course I know! Your mind doesn't rot because of aging, does it? Because it's obvious."
Fear stopped walking, and looked back at the way we came. I don't know what he is looking for, but his eyes may mean that he is looking for the other three people we left behind. I don't know why he is so troublesome. We broke up two days ago, so he seems to never see them again. In addition, we will meet in a completely different place. As for how they can get there so quickly, it's best not to worry about the details.
He turned his head and looked at me. I was moved by his pleading and worried expression. This worried expression told me that he wanted to go back very much; it was indeed a bad expression, especially since he was the one who insisted on coming. People because he doesn’t trust me and other people. I have passed, and I regret not taking that quiet, masked girl! Damn, I can even be content with that angry man now! At least the madness behind us kept her talking to herself, so why can't "Fear" do the same thing
"Can you stop complaining?" I begged him. "Look, this is where the necklace is, so once we find the necklace, we can start."
I don't know the exact location of this necklace, but I can feel a huge jīng divine energy flowing from the inside of the earth, which means it somehow finds underground. How troublesome.
"I can't determine its exact location." I muttered loudly, letting the fear show unexpected signs of relief.
"Does it matter? If it is lost, it is lost. Let's go back."
"You don't know how powerful that necklace is. Is it the only one who knows its capabilities? Listen, you just want to ensure the safety of your family, right? Well, that necklace has the ability to do so."
"How can you be so sure? You said yourself that even its creator doesn't know its capabilities."
"She is not as smart as she said. The reason I know what I know is because I have done a lot of research. I saw the constellations on the stars and I didn't believe it at first. I mean, who will be receiving After such crazy information? But when I joined the witch rally and read their books, I began to understand how true this prophecy was! "Damn, my tongue slipped. I really hate this word. prophecy. This is a stupid word, belonging to the fanaticism of those paranoiacs.
"Prophecy? What do you mean?"
"Ah, this is the good part!" I continued excitedly. "I even went to a foreseeer to see if my prediction was true, although they would not confirm or deny it. You see, what I read from the stars is the pinnacle of my legacy. Unfortunately, I decided Nothing like this will happen in the years after that, so I took some steps to make sure I was alive and witnessed."
"So this prediction is not actually about the necklace, but about you."
"It's much more than that. The stars have issued a decree that after completing a ritual that changes the world, I will achieve such a great achievement. This ritual requires a lot of things, one of which is a necklace, which is one of the few items I have left. The problem is, I don’t know where it is hiding. So in the end, after so many painful and futile searches, I had to drag its creator to this point. It’s not that I have any problems with your ideas. . If I want to witness my rise as an eternal star, the person I want to meet is her. "I really can’t wait to see the expression on her face, once my name is consolidated at all times in the future, she That angry, vicious expression. I get excited when I think of this! "I know that when she reappeared in this world, this was the first thing she thought of. Of course, I was right!"
"It's all good," murmured fearfully, "but can this necklace help my brothers and sisters?"
"Who cares what some old accessories can do? Don’t you hear the incredible story I just told you? I will be immortal! No time will people stop admiring me! Praise me! I’m just a little sad, I Will not live to enjoy the imminent eternity!"
There is also the fact that once my goal is achieved, what will Lily think. When she discovers what is about to happen, she will lose her favorite thing instead of herself! Oh my God! The expression on her face! I couldn't help but smile stupidly, only seeing her image, not the angry expression.
"Tell me what it does now, or I will let you experience what my dear sister can do." He told me threateningly.
I looked back at the woman with horrible hair and tights, slowly following us behind. Since we let her go, her mutation has not stopped once. (To be continued) (End of this chapter)
