In the heavy snow, not only Sean's side was on the road, even on the other side of the revolutionary camp, there were people taking risks to escape.
Dashigi and Tatsumi, both wearing fur coats, dragged their companions on the sled and ran forward with all their might, trying to escape from this terrible area.
"We'll be out soon. As long as we cross this mountain, we'll be able to get out immediately. Just wait a while," Tashigi kept comforting Jibek behind her.
"Soon, very soon"
Behind me, there is always the other party's howl of pain
However, the other party did not let them look back, but just let them run with him, keep running, and don't look back.
"Does it hurt?"
"Don't worry about it, don't look back, don't look back or you will be finished. None of us can escape. Someone must tell the captain about this. One of us has set foot in the realm of the evil god." He shouted with almost his last bit of strength, and there was an obvious sound of coughing up blood while speaking, but Tashigi and Tatsumi both followed each other's instructions and did not look back.
I really want to look back to see what it is, but the other party keeps emphasizing that I can't look back.
This is the sentence I said the most during the journey, and my voice became hoarse because of this sentence. What is there that I cannot turn back to?
The Revolutionary Army camp had recently been smelting puppets for defensive purposes, as recommended by the alchemist Ulysses. This seemed to be working without any problems. The remaining hundred or so soldiers were still remnants of the defeated army, few of whom were willing to fight. Tashigi even believed that a little persuasion would be enough to get some of the Revolutionary Army to surrender.
After all, life in the mountains is not easy, and with the heavy snow blocking the mountains, the cold weather may last for several months.
The fighting spirit of many people was extinguished in an instant. Moreover, the Earl of Oro City was a cunning guy.
However, as Ulysses used alchemy recklessly, even asking his brothers to donate a portion of their blood in exchange for more alchemical products, Tashigi and her two companions did not understand alchemy and could only let him do it.
But it wasn't until recently that we discovered something was wrong in the camp.
Yesterday, Jibek went to the camp to get food as usual. When he came back, he was covered in wounds and asked Tashigi and Tatsumi to take him away overnight. He could not turn back no matter what happened, even if he died tragically.
"What exactly happened? How are we going to report to the captain later?" Tatsumi kept asking.
The five members of the assassination team have been living together and carrying out missions together since they were taken in by the revolutionary army. Except for this time, they have never paid such a tragic price before. If they can't get Jibek out, there will be only two people left in the assassination team.
"you"
The voice behind him suddenly became weak.
"What's wrong, Jibek."
"Don't look back"
This reminder scared the two people who were about to turn around back.
"What is behind this, Jibek? We can't just stand by and watch you get hurt." Tatsumi roared helplessly.
None of the three spoke, and the only sound around them was the howling of the blizzard.
"Remember what I am going to say next, this may be our final farewell." Jibek said suddenly.
The sled stopped
"Don't look back. You can listen to me, but don't look back. Since yesterday, I thought I could escape, so I let you take me away, but now I find that I can't escape at all."
"What's behind that? Why aren't we allowed to see it?" Tatsumi asked hurriedly.
"It's something you can't bear. It's definitely not some alchemical product, but something else terrifying. I never believed in evil gods or ancient gods before. Even when I was sent to a place near the old city of Tacoma, I was never afraid. But only recently did I feel that there are indeed things in this world that we cannot reach."
Jibek's words reminded the silent Tashigi of the words she saw in the Earl's dungeon.
"Someone in our team has already joined the followers of the evil god. That Ulysses must be one of them. He keeps asking us to perform blood sacrifices. This isn't alchemy at all, but rather summoning their so-called evil god. Don't look back. If it sees you, you'll never be able to escape."
"What exactly is it?" Tatsumi asked.
"It's something I can't even describe. I saw it last night and it's been following me ever since, and I can't get rid of it. I don't think anyone could get rid of it. It's not human at all. Go back and tell the commander to conduct a thorough investigation of the people in the team. Tell him what happened today. Also, if possible, leave. We've done a lot in the revolutionary army over the years, and killed a lot of people who deserved to be killed."
Gibek paused.
"But who deserves to be killed? The revenge we sought has already been taken, ever since we formed the assassination squad. The rest is just helping the organization. But even hunters will eventually become hunted. It's time to let go."
Jibek didn't know why he suddenly became religious, but when faced with life and death, he really hoped to have faith, so that the legendary gods could save him and let him rest in peace after death.
"Let me go, you are tired and I can't escape"
Looking at the bandaged man in front of him who couldn't escape no matter what, he had been in front of him since the first time he saw him.
It doesn't move or talk, but it always stays within a few hundred meters of you. No matter how hard you run, you can't escape. As long as you close your eyes or don't stare at it, it will instantly appear in front of you.
