Train to Moscow
Although the words spoken by the man in front of her sounded like this to Tana, Tana knew that he was not saying what she heard, and she could not tell which one was the illusion she was experiencing.
Tana finally cried, tears flowing from her eyes. No matter how strong she was or how much she accepted madness, she could not resist the fear in her heart. She hated this existence that was out of her control. She could see the reality from time to time but was pulled back into that horrible dream in a moment.
Tana's tears wet Count Stanford's hands. She murmured to herself, "I can't tell, Ellisted, Ellisted... I really can't tell... where are you."
Count Stanford put down his hand in disgust, but the woman's pale face couldn't hide her trance as she fell heavily to the ground due to inertia, making a sound of bones cracking.
After a while, Tana fell into a coma and stopped mumbling.
Count Stanf could not expect this woman to bring him any useful information, nor did he want to repeat the meaningless question of where her companions were. Count Stanf thought coldly that this human was crazy. He was as unmoved as if he saw an ant die, and it was a commonplace occurrence.
Count Stanf wiped his hands with a handkerchief and looked at the sky. The moon was high in the sky at this time, and a new restart was about to begin. Stanf, who was used to this, suddenly frowned. He missed Jiang Kexin. He wanted to see Jiang Kexin, even if she was afraid of him and tried to please him in a way that would take advantage of him. Thinking of this, he thought of Hagen's stupidity.
Then he said mercilessly, "Hagen, you idiot, humans are cunning creatures. What will happen if you come to kill me? The consequence is that our humans escape. Besides that, what else?"
Hagen kept his mouth shut and said nothing. A large piece of skin on his face was scraped off, revealing tentacles underneath. His body was covered with broken pieces of human skin, hanging lightly, as if a large piece of skin had been rubbed off from a robot. Hagen didn't say anything, and Earl Stanford didn't care whether Hagen answered him or not. He continued.
"I know you like that human, too. We'll discuss this in detail later, but the prerequisite is that we must keep him here, in our latitude. Do you want him to leave us?"
"Where's Iris, that idiot who can't keep his eyes on her." Seeing that Hagen still didn't answer, Stanford changed the subject.
Hagen lowered his eyes, his tone filled with confusion. "Iris is still sad. His aquarium has become his lair... Iris couldn't keep him, but I don't understand why he rejected me. I suppressed many instincts for him, and for him..."
Hagen said this completely unconsciously in search of an answer. In Hagen's opinion, he had paid so much, but why couldn't he get what he wanted.
Count Stanford laughed. He didn't bother to pay attention to Hagen. He watched his fellow men staggering forward. They left here, and in 45 minutes the celebration would begin again, and they would have to repeat a new round.
That is to say, 45 minutes is the time they have to restore their original appearance and move freely, and Earl Stanford never stops them.
Count Stanf stepped on the woman on the ground. The woman looked painful while unconscious. Count Stanf did not take it seriously and his words were cruel and realistic.
"First of all, Hagen, first, you can't kill me, and second, you're not as cruel as I am.
Okay, let's not discuss this anymore. Let's notify Iris first and have him come over. Have him take this woman away as well. She should be one of our little humans. Although she's crazy, she's not completely useless."
After all, this woman and the one he was referring to, Ellisted, were so conspicuous that it was obvious that they were both humans who had fallen on the snowfield.
After he finished speaking, he lit a cigarette and lowered his head. The smoke filled the air, and Earl Stanford's face was covered with a hint of mist. He gently bit the cigarette holder and sighed that cigarettes were a good invention of mankind.
At this time, Earl Stanford looked more human than a human. He said word by word, "He actually wants to escape. Then tell our little humans that this world is so cruel. What will happen to us if he leaves?"
"Find that Ellisted and tell him that he can save this woman's life in exchange for betraying our human. This is a win-win deal, and then the fun will begin."
Count Stanford looked at the human on the ground, his eyes narrow and charming, a smile on his lips, he lowered his head and pinched the cigarette on the human's body with one hand.
"If that Ellisted makes the right choice, that would be great... Even if he can't, that's fine. His choice doesn't matter. The key is to let us humans know about this. Got it, Hagen? This is the best way for us to keep him."
Hagen understood, he lowered his head and did not refute. He had always felt that this kind of plan was murderous and heartbreaking, which he did not like and would also make Jiang Kexin sad. In comparison, he preferred direct action. He was reluctant to make Jiang Kexin sad, so he would secretly get rid of those people.
But now, Hagen pursed his lips. Stanford was right. Only if they stayed could they talk about those empty things. Only if they stayed could they settle their accounts with each other.
"I want his love, fear, respect and dread. I want him." Count Stanf said this while looking up at the stars. In fact, when he learned that the other party was going to escape, Count Stanf felt a strange excitement and possessiveness in his heart. He was different from Hagen.
Hagen still had the illusion of being obedient to him, but Steve was even worse, and Jiang's running away gave him an opening.
A place where one can treat him, dominate him, possess him, and deal with him as he pleases.
Ellisted and Jiang Kexin are staying in Miss Leir's clothing store at this moment. This is the place Ellisted led Jiang Kexin to find. Ellisted said it was very safe here, but Jiang Kexin didn't think so. He has always been cautious.
The clothing store was even more chaotic than the last time. There were clothes scattered all over the place, and tags were scattered all over the place. Ellisted also saw scissors that had never appeared last time and new design drawings.
And now Miss Leir went to bring hot cocoa to Jiang Kexin, so she is not here at the moment. Originally, it should be a thing worth celebrating for teammates to meet again. According to the routine, the next step for teammates to meet is to work together, but the atmosphere between them is obviously wrong. A serious and indescribable atmosphere spread between the two.
Ellisted and Jiang Kexin didn't even look at each other. They were obviously excited before, but now they were more like "strangers" who would never see each other again.
Why things turned out like this has to do with why they left the sewer and returned to Miss Riel instead of going to find Tana. Ten minutes ago, when they had just walked forward from the sewer and were about to reach the gate to gather, but had not yet gone out, a voice came from above - it was a terrible, inarticulate scream that only a mute could make; it was a scream that could only be made in the most terrible moments of fear or pain.
They heard those chaotic voices from ancient times.
The sound was like a whisper from ancient times, or like the sound of a simple fight between ordinary humans. In short, the sound was so loud that they all heard it, so they stopped.
And the identification voice sounded continuously.
That was a response to their precarious sanity.
[Jiang Kexin's SanCheck: 71/47 The voice from the ancient existence is not allowed to be heard by you, so be careful.
san=47-3=44】
[Ellisted's SanCheck: 8/52 The sanity check submitted this time was successful. You are so lucky. Maybe you have seen too many such existences, which has trained your good luck. In short, congratulations.
san=52-1=51】
Ellisted didn't quite understand what was going on, but Jiang Kexin seemed to have guessed something. His face froze and he frowned as he told Ellisted the general situation and his own guess. In order not to appear OOC, Ellisted didn't show much expression on the surface, but his teeth were clenched tightly.
Now according to what Jiang Kexin said, Tana is in great danger now. No wonder she hasn't replied to her new messages. It turns out that she had a direct encounter with the two bosses.
He wanted to go out and find Tana right now, but he also knew that it was irrational to go out at this time. On the bright side, what if Tana was hiding? Wouldn't he be exposed if he went out at this time?
Moreover, his current personality has nothing to do with Tana. Ellisted tried to turn his eyes away and sent some messages before leaving with Jiang Kexin.
Back to the present, Ellisted closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a trance in his eyes. He held the cup and lowered his head, his eyes fell on the cup. The self in the cup began to sway with the surface of the water. As he looked at it, Ellisted put his lips on it in a daze.
The rim of the cup slid slowly, and the water slid into his mouth with the movement. When the water entered his mouth, Ellisted felt a different taste, a burning taste.
But the water did not soothe his worries. Ellisted could not calm down and he became even more worried.
He stroked the wall of the cup, and the cup shook with Ellisted's movements, and water spilled out. He was absent-minded, as if he was there but his soul was gone long ago.
His worry for Tana was almost overflowing. Tana was his friend, comrade-in-arms, and even family member. Tana had gone through the first, second, and even third dungeons with him.
Ellisted took another sip of water, and he looked a little gloomy as he held the cup.
Jiang Kexin was also silent. He was sitting on a chair and tapping the handle.
He did not expect that Tana would run into the two monsters again, or to be more precise, he did not expect that his actions would lead to a high possibility that Tana and the two monsters would meet.
Jiang Kexin didn't know what to think about this. He didn't think there was anything wrong with his plan to escape. If he didn't escape, he would have to keep dealing with those loves. If he had to deal with them, there was a high possibility that he would be forced to stay, which would not benefit his chances at all.
He also didn't expect that Tana was just at the gate. In short, everything was not what Jiang Kexin wanted to see. It was just the butterfly effect.
A butterfly flapping its wings in the tropical rain forests of South America may cause a tornado in Texas, USA. Without these slight wingbeats, the flapping would be meaningless.
A tiny flap of a butterfly's wings can be the cause of the next tornado. A tiny initial deviation can lead to a huge difference in the results.
Jiang Kexin is that butterfly, and it can only be blamed on fate.
Such is fate.
However, it was obvious to the naked eye that Ellisted was in a bad mood, and no matter how hard he tried to hide it, it was of no avail. Jiang Kexin knew that the relationship between Tana and Ellisted was more than what it seemed on the surface. They had a friendship engraved in their souls, a friendship that went beyond ordinary friends.
Therefore, even if Ellisted has a good impression of himself, he might still be more worried about Tana and run back to find Tana.
Jiang Kexin just looked away lightly. Therefore, if Ellisted wanted to go back, he would not stop him. This was the other party's choice. Everyone had different choices about events, and he would not go back.
He had finally gotten out of there, he couldn't forget about passing the customs, he couldn't let all his efforts go to waste.
Tana and Jiang Kexin will continue to choose to clear the level.
Don't say he is cruel. To put it bluntly, he is just a passerby to them. He is not even sure whether these people are the chosen ones. But in fact, Jiang Kexin already has a vague answer in his heart.
In the past four years, there has never been three Chosen Ones appearing at once, and two of them are friends. But if they are not the Chosen Ones, then who are they exactly, and what is the purpose of this Ascension Competition for them? Jiang Kexin's doubts about them rose again.
Companions can certainly bring comfort, but if there are disagreements, the best way is to avoid them temporarily, choose your own path, and keep going.
It can't be done without anyone leaving the other.
