Chapter 333 Monster Hospital (Thirty-Two)
It returned to the blood-soaked place. The sky had completely cleared, but for some reason the sky was always covered with a layer of fog and not very transparent. Its vision had fully recovered, so it could easily see A Xi who was standing in front of it.
Axi wanted to protect herself from becoming food for monsters, but the temptation she exuded was extremely delicious to those monsters. Or perhaps she was the first other species to appear on this land, so she attracted the attention of all monsters.
The more the monster struggled to rise from the darkness and filth, the more it wanted to go forward and take a look. Its pure and flawless existence was more like pulling the bright moon completely into the quagmire, marking it with a mark of filth.
The internal fighting and power struggle just now seemed to have evolved into a kind of competitiveness in front of aliens, but what remained unchanged was the war between A Xi and all the other monsters.
It didn't quite remember why it suddenly appeared here, and it wasn't too afraid of the monsters' eager eyes, because all its attention was naturally attracted to A Xi. It wanted to see why the other party made such a choice, and also wanted to know what this alien in the eyes of other monsters was insisting on, when it was obvious that going with the flow was the best option for her.
The monsters rushed forward and began to tear and wrestle. The other monsters seemed to have learned a lesson from the previous fight and no longer dared to engage in a fair one-on-one war. Instead, they swarmed together to use human wave tactics to pull down their former leader, step on her broken limbs and arms, and drag the one behind her into the mire and blood.
Although Axi's body was not tall among the monsters, and even looked a little weird due to poor development, the energy contained in her body was beyond its imagination.
From the moment it chose to stand in front of him, A Xi never looked at him, as if no matter what kind of existence it was, whether it was the same species or a different species, as long as it appeared here, the other party would not allow others to hurt him.
Those monsters were frightened by the unprecedented power that Axi erupted, and failed to succeed for a while. They chirped in a hurry, and it was obvious that they didn't understand why Axi didn't react so much when they said they wanted to seize power just now, but now seemed so angry when facing an outsider.
But after all, she was alone and weak. Even if the energy exploded, hundreds of monsters surrounding her would be enough to make her temporarily unable to move and be trapped in place, unable to move.
Dark black air rose from the ground, bound up all the monsters and entangled Axi. She howled to the sky, as if she was unwilling to give up, and looked back in its direction with great attachment.
Even though Axi had no human form, no facial features, and even no expression, but at this moment, it felt that it could understand the tears in her eyes, which seemed to imply apology to itself and helplessness about what was about to happen.
A Xi didn't care about her position as leader, nor did she care about the monsters challenging her. After all, they always had the dignity of being the strong. But she always felt that not hurting others was the lowest bottom line, so she worked hard to defeat all the monsters and stood on the top.
But now she was defeated so completely that she couldn't even save a tiny baby behind her. A strange emotion rose in her heart, which seemed to have never happened before. In addition, the baby was looking at her unconsciously, with a pair of ink-black eyes, which seemed to carry some emotions that made it difficult for her to let go.
She had no regrets when she was challenged by others, nor did she regret realizing the betrayal of her companions. But until this moment, she felt a little regretful. She was afraid that she would never see such a gaze again in the future, and she also felt a little regretful that this child would die with her in this blood.
Due to the disparity in power, Axi was trapped by other monsters. Seeing that an incredibly large monster was about to swallow Axi and other monsters were already approaching its body, it no longer waited and watched, but looked in Axi's direction and moved its fingers.
Suddenly, a breeze blew up from somewhere on this vast land that had been silent for a long time, and then a small vortex was seen forming on the ground with it as the center.
Then, the monsters with beast-like instincts realized something was wrong, because they suddenly felt that the binding force of the black air rising from the ground and entangling them seemed to have weakened by more than a little.
Amid the panicked cries, the monsters finally saw that all the black air on the earth where they lived, as if summoned by something, gathered into the small vortex from all directions, like a strong tornado rising from the ground, and the center of the storm was the pure baby.
In fact, when it opened its eyes and saw those monsters, it had already noticed the black gas rising from the ground in the distance. This breath made it feel familiar and a little salivating. Now that those monsters came to its door, there was no reason for it not to help them.
However, as more black gas emerged from the ground, it noticed that the monsters seemed to have broken free from the black gas and returned to their original appearance. The images of those monsters with fangs and claws entangled in the black gas gradually faded away, revealing the original appearance of the monsters. They were no different from normal humans. It was not even known whether it was because everything in front of them was too shocking, or because the black gas left their bodies, and they had not yet come to their senses and fell into a brief daze.
It originally thought that the black air on the monsters was transformed from their violent spirit. After a long period of ups and downs, the land had been contaminated by it. However, as the true appearance of the monsters appeared, it realized that the black air did not seem to be produced by the monsters themselves, but was born from this land. The monsters living here seemed to be controlled by the black air, so they became extremely brutal.
But there was an exception. When other monsters had gradually revealed their true faces, the black energy was still entangled very deeply on Axi's body. However, she seemed not to be controlled by the black energy, and she did not seem bloodthirsty and cruel. Her small body should not be affected by too much black energy, but it seemed as if there was a bottomless pit in her body, and she was reluctant to reveal her original appearance.
Because of this sudden change, the monsters returned to their original state and also regained their sanity. The clamor and killing just now were no longer there. They stood there in a daze, not knowing where they came from and why they were here now.
It temporarily gave up absorbing the black air hidden deep underground and focused its attention on Axi. The black air underground was endless, and it was not sure how long it would take to completely absorb it, but the black air on the surface had been cleared and would not affect the monsters again for the time being.
At this moment, the black air attached to Axi's body seemed to sense something and automatically left her body and quickly disappeared into the ground. At the same time, Axi felt that something had separated from her body. It was not just a problem of the black air, but more like a part of her originally complete self was suddenly missing.
But before she could be surprised, everything disappeared. She saw her real body for the first time. After the tornado gradually dissipated, she saw the baby growing rapidly after absorbing the black air.
It was clearly the first time she saw that look, so she should have been shocked, but at the same time, she felt it was very familiar, as if she had seen this face many times in her dreams.
For it, when it saw Axi's true face, it felt that the other person should look like this, and the other person's face was really outstanding, so it had no time to think about the sudden departure of the black air and the incomplete aura on Axi's body.
Just like that, it stayed here, unaware of the years in the mountains and unconcerned with the vicissitudes of life, as if it was born to come to this place. Every once in a while, it absorbed the black air spreading from the ground to ensure that those monsters would no longer be controlled by the black air and become cruel and violent.
The land that was originally full of sin seemed to be purified because of its arrival. The foggy sky finally became clear, the bloody smell on the land was gone, and even after another season of spring breeze, green buds appeared.
For Axi, its arrival was like sowing a seed of light in the darkness. From then on, her dark world was completely illuminated, including those dark corners that no one could talk about.
She will no longer be restricted by the black air and unable to leave this land, and the monsters will no longer show their sharp claws to other creatures.
In spring, Axi can hold its hand and go to see the newly sprouted buds, and take her to taste the cool and sweet dew.
In summer, Axi used yellowed grass leaves to weave a straw hat and put it on her head to block the golden sunlight.
In autumn, they also usher in the harvest season. When other monsters are busy harvesting, they will secretly go and cause trouble.
In winter, Axi takes it to a vast expanse of white, looking at the deep blue sky above and the twinkling stars.
Maybe it didn't know what happiness was before, or maybe it had forgotten it, but every day it spent with Axi, it felt like happiness.
It wasn't long before one day it suddenly felt the pain it hadn't felt for a long time, and the scene in front of it changed again.
It was far away from the vast fields and the beauty of the wild, and suddenly came to a place with tall buildings. The sparsely populated quietness turned into the noise of coming and going. It stood there, looking at the colorful wall behind it, a little dazed.
But not long after, its little hand was wrapped by a larger palm, and then a familiar smell came from its side, "Why are you standing here in a daze? Are you happy because you know I'm going to take you to the amusement park secretly?"
It looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl who was much taller than it, holding its hand and looking at it with a pair of gentle eyes. She also took the schoolbag from its back.
It didn't say anything, but instinctively wanted to get closer to the other party. It was led away by the other party without much resistance. On the way, it learned that the other party's name was Abei, and it also got a strawberry-flavored ice cream.
"Here, since Anan has been so good today, this is a reward."
It reached out to take the ice cream, but instinctively took a bite with restraint. Two thoughts suddenly came to its mind. One was, this is what ice cream tastes like, icy, sweet and delicious. The other was, my name is Anan.
The weather was a bit hot and the ice cream melted very quickly. Anan thought that he should like eating this thing. After all, both the taste and texture were very good. But for some reason, he just took a bite instinctively and didn't eat it anymore. His other hand would unconsciously press on his chest, as if he felt a little uncomfortable there, but after feeling carefully, he didn't find any problems.
But Abei seemed to have noticed something, but he said nothing. He took the uneaten ice cream with a smile and put it into his mouth, then wiped his fingers clean one by one with a wet wipe.
The amusement park was not far away, and despite its current age and physical strength, it did not feel uncomfortable. It even felt that its body was very light. It seemed to be surprisingly fascinated by the feeling of being able to run and jump. When being led by Abei, it would always jump after taking two steps, as if it liked this feeling very much.
The bustle and grandeur of the amusement park were beyond its imagination. However, based on its own knowledge, it felt that it would not be surprised or delighted by these things. However, it was undeniable that since it stepped into the amusement park, it felt that its heartbeat seemed to be faster, as if it was the excitement after some long-suppressed needs were met.
Roller coasters, bungee jumping machines, pendulums, it felt the excitement in every ride that could make its heart beat faster and its blood flow faster, but Abei took it to the carousel queue for its first stop.
As if he had noticed the little man's displeasure, Abei squatted down and explained to it, "You are not tall enough, so you can't play those intense rides. Let's start with the carousel, okay? This is also fun? Hmm?"
Her tone was very gentle and sincere, and her arguments were well-founded. Anan could not refute, nor did he want to refute, so he followed her to the carousel.
It's fun, but it's always a little lacking.
Anan didn't have the chance to try the haunted house, roller coaster, bungee jumping and other intense rides. He only followed Bei to try the bumper cars, pirate ship and other milder rides, and bought a lot of loot.
Anan's small figure walked around until the evening when they watched the fireworks, and he was still very energetic. There was no one to disturb them today, and the two of them had a lot of fun playing together. Staying with Abei also made her feel very peaceful.
But when the last firework fell, the smile on its face faded a little, and even the childishness in its eyes disappeared. The crowd in the amusement park was surging in the previous second, and the next second everyone seemed to be frozen and stopped where they were.
Ah Bei smiled helplessly and turned to look at Ah Nan, "What went wrong this time? I didn't let Ah Man come with me this time, but you still noticed it?"
Although the sentence structure was doubtful, the tone was very certain. It seemed that it didn't like showing Bei Xi's face, so the moment it was discovered by Nan Hua, it had already returned to its original face that was exactly the same as Nan Huan's, looking at the other's face with a bit of seriousness and helplessness.
Nan Huan's body returned to its normal size, but his hand habitually touched his chest as before, as if he was reluctant to let go of the good condition of his small body just now. "Although my body has become smaller, you have deliberately adjusted some of my thresholds, but it is obvious that you don't understand me accurately enough. You think that since I have become a frail and sickly child, I must want to have a healthy body and be able to jump around like other children."
The feeling just now was so strange that Nanhu didn't notice it at first, because the feeling was too real, just like a scene he had seen in his dreams countless times.
They can go to the colorful kindergarten and play in the crowded amusement park with other children without being restricted by their own bodies.
Maybe it was because both of them knew that in this environment, it was impossible for them to hurt each other, so they rarely showed hostility. In response to Nan Huan's question, the evil god raised his eyebrows and admitted it all, "My information should not be wrong, so isn't that the case?"
Although the completion of this task does not have a big impact on her, especially since she hopes to some extent that Nan Huan and Bei Xi can remember their previous memories, she still feels a little embarrassed after being seen through by the other party so quickly twice in a row. Now that the other party has spoken, she certainly wants an answer from you.
"That's right, but not entirely." This scene was different from the first one. After she exposed it, it immediately disappeared, and then Bei Xi appeared in front of her. Nan Huan was not sure whether it was a system setting or the evil god's intention. Since she could not see Bei Xi for the time being, she was willing to say a few more words. "When I was young, it was an exaggeration to describe my body as weak. I would take a long time to breathe even after walking two steps. The scenes you just took me to see, in fact, I have seen them many times in my dreams, and I also hope that one day I can run and jump."
The evil god revealed a puzzled look at the right moment, and Nan Huan showed a faint smile on his face, as if he remembered something interesting, and continued.
"But actually, do you believe it? Bei Xi had already taken me to do all the things I hoped to do in my dreams. When I was still not feeling well, she took me to kindergarten, had ice cream, rode roller coasters, and entered a haunted house."
These experiences were like treasures buried in Nan Huan's memory. She explained to the evil god in detail, "Bei Xi hopes more than anyone else that I can experience everything like a normal person, rather than being put aside like a doll. So if you had taken me to ride the roller coaster just now, maybe you would have confused me for a longer time?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the scene in the amusement park broke apart.
