Chapter 250
Due to the monstrous creatures in the space, every organ in Lilith's body, even her nails, hair, and cells, is undergoing random displacement and repositioning, such as bones being inserted into her lungs and hair growing onto her spine, at a frequency as fast as the flapping of a hummingbird's wings.
Lilith felt as if her body and even her soul had been thrown into a giant meat grinder. Her consciousness was shattered under the sharp blades, and pain, sorrow, madness, and fear were all mixed together.
She screamed, she broke down, she cried, she felt helpless.
When Xie Yuchun arrived, Lilith didn't feel anything was real. In her dazed state, she only sensed a very strong fluorescent light approaching her.
Then the surrounding noise receded like a tide, and the sky and the ground disappeared without them noticing, revealing a dazzling array of stars beneath their feet.
— Xie Yuchun took her to a time rift.
Under Xie Yuchun's divine power, Lilith's tormented soul was extracted from her body.
The first thing she saw when she regained consciousness was her twisted and mutated body. A pile of mud, a bloody mess, no longer recognizable as human. She and the spatial beast inside were frozen in time, frozen within the protective barrier.
However, the power of the spatial beasts affects the soul, and even if the soul is separated from the body, the pain cannot be completely isolated.
So not long after, Lilith's mind was in turmoil again. Although she was in a spirit state, she could feel acid rising and burning her throat, and she felt nauseous.
My body isn't myself, my mind isn't myself, it's nothing. Only Xie Yuchun's embrace is the only clear and reliable thing in the chaos.
So she huddled desperately into Xie Yuchun's arms like a frightened quail, crying her heart out and laughing maniacally.
At that time, her soul was already showing signs of distortion. If she could not withstand this mental pollution, she would undoubtedly become twisted and turn into a complete monster.
In order to help Lilith stabilize her personality, Xie Yuchun used the power of time to help her re-establish her anchor point through past fragments.
Then Lilith remembered that woman again.
That woman, for the time being, could be considered her mother. Lilith had been abandoned by that woman once, but later the woman heard from somewhere that her adoptive parents' children liked to put thumbtacks in her food and shoes, so she took her back.
It was a beautiful day, with the first light of dawn and a gentle breeze. A disheveled woman stood outside the door, her eyes filled with weariness and numbness. Despite the intense heat of the sun overhead, nothing seemed to penetrate her gloomy gaze.
That was the first time Lilith clearly realized that a person's eyes could indeed look like a dead fish.
When the woman saw her, she didn't offer any words of comfort or concern, but simply said, "Let's go, I still need to go to the supermarket to unload some goods at 1:30 this afternoon," and walked away without looking back.
She hurriedly followed, sweating profusely, but her pace slowed down, and finally she couldn't help but squat down, clutching her stomach.
About ten minutes later, the woman, who had almost reached the intersection, turned back.
As if sensing something from her abnormal reaction of sweating and trembling slightly on her forehead, the woman's breath hitched. She quickly grabbed her clothes and looked at the large, bluish-purple bruise on her stomach. In an instant, her empty, numb eyes changed again and again.
"Who did this?" the woman asked.
Lilith paused for a moment, then glanced back.
The foster parents' child stood by the second-floor window of the villa, dressed in a beautiful princess dress and wearing an expensive and cute hair clip, and raised her chin at them with malice.
The woman followed Lilith's gaze and saw the child.
This is not a well-established metropolis with a sound legal system; it's just a remote and underdeveloped town that doesn't even have a welfare home.
The entire town has only one school and one weapons shop, both of which belong to the mayor.
Nearly 85% of the jobs in the town are linked to the mayor's family's businesses, and even the channels for transporting daily necessities are firmly controlled by the mayor.
Lilith's adoptive parents were not the mayor, but the mayor's driver and nanny. Yet they had the money to build a mansion, buy cars, and even own a ranch, hiring people to look after it.
The woman knew about this, of course; otherwise, she wouldn't have deliberately left Lilith at her adoptive parents' doorstep. Unfortunately, she didn't have the energy to learn more about the family's character.
Driven by anger or impulsiveness, the woman and her adoptive parents' child stared at each other for several seconds from half a street apart, but quickly fell silent.
She timidly lowered her head like an ostrich, her back hunched over as if weighed down by something, and hurriedly whispered to Lilith: Let's go, stand up when it doesn't hurt anymore, and hurry up and go.
Lilith stared blankly at the woman.
For a moment, she did indeed sense a courage that moved her from the other person's suddenly excited eyes.
However, before she could remember that look, the woman turned away again and walked forward.
Lilith squatted down, staring at the retreating figure of the man as he fled, and suddenly felt like laughing.
After a while, she rubbed her still painful stomach, quickly caught up with the woman, and said softly, "Don't misunderstand, I fell by myself."
The woman's frightened face instantly brightened, as if she had received some kind of salvation: Really?
Lilith nodded: Really, really.
It was from a fall.
Her adoptive parents' child suddenly bumped into her from behind. She lost her balance and hit her stomach on the corner of the desk, resulting in a bruise.
The students around all saw it.
She fell by herself.
