Chapter 16: Aizhou, Aizhou, the pale shadow of the soul struggled from the page...
The pale shadow of a soul broke free from the pages of the book, and its bright wings were incredibly beautiful in the moonlight, like a wisp of misty smoke.
It reached out and gently hugged Sakori from behind.
The non-human's slender hand, twice the size of a normal person's, covered the back of the sacrifice's hand.
The dagger ignited with a pale flame.
Cut down like a crescent moon!
Sakori was completely unskilled in combat, and even the basic techniques of swinging a sword took him several hours to learn.
You know, she has no experience using a kitchen knife or a fruit knife.
Therefore, the posture of this sword strike can be described as unremarkable.
Only beginners are filled with the flames of anger.
Pale flames surrounded the reflection of the god, and almost in the blink of an eye, the god's thoughts were devoured like wildfire in the spring breeze.
It expanded according to Sakori's will, and grew rapidly with the reflection of God as nourishment.
It doesn't even look like a flame, but rather some kind of living organism whose illusion has not yet been exposed.
You once had only enough courage to hold a dagger.
But now, the courage born of love is enough for you to wield the knife against God.
The cold flames shot straight into the sky.
The heavy rain stopped at some point, and the thick clouds moved away from the area covered by the flames.
The sky suddenly became clear and the crescent moon shone again.
The stars were deathly silent.
Sakeli tilted his head to see what was behind him, but there didn't feel anything, but the back of his hand seemed a little cold.
And she had already seen the long, transparent fingers.
It was so long that it seemed like it could easily hold her entire head.
That thing—which was definitely not a human—had a face exactly like my mother's.
But apart from the head, the rest of its body is more like a spider.
Those hands are actually the most human-like part.
"What you see is what you miss the most." The black cat said lazily.
As if her mission had been accomplished, the Spider-Woman slowly left her, her ethereal spirit returning to the pages of the book.
It was then that Sakori realized that the book had opened by itself.
But she still doesn't know the reason.
Because it was a god who was attacking her?
The black cat ignored her doubts and instructed her, "Do you see that glowing thing on the sea?"
"Go, bring that thing back and give it to Lin."
It's easy to know that Sakri will definitely get it. The main reason is that there are not many capable fighters in this area.
After President Lu's flames indiscriminately burned the reflections of the two gods, the huge figure began to shrink and eventually returned to a size almost the same as before.
It shook its body.
Then he fell down unexpectedly.
The black cat jumped flexibly and landed gracefully.
Sakeri was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
"President Lu?" She brushed the sand off her palms, sat up, and tried to shake the president's antlers.
The jewelry on it was completely destroyed this time, and the president's antlers were probably so relaxed for the first time in his life.
President Lu was still somewhat conscious and murmured, "Don't shake..."
"I'm too tired. I need to sleep for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, the deer fell asleep as if it had fainted.
After Sake Rui confirmed that President Lu was really fine - and not pretending to be dead - he decided to get the thing from the sea.
She didn't know why the black cat asked her to get it, but no matter what, the black cat helped her a lot, and she was willing to do something to help the black cat.
This time the sea water in Nanxi Harbor has not dried up yet.
The black cat watched her walk across the beach, find a plank, and then float on the sea toward the tree roots.
You dare to play like this even though you can't swim. Do you really think you are not an expert?
But the master was unable to stop her.
Needless to say, President Lu is almost sleeping like a dead deer.
Ke Jinzhu was seriously injured and was more than capable of dealing with the investigator, but it would be difficult for him to compete with Sakribi, who had just awakened and was resonating with his inspiration.
As for the only one who wasn't injured...
He would never stop Sakeri from getting the tree roots.
Just thinking about this makes me want to laugh.
Fate, you play with the world.
On the sea, Sakeri was already standing unsteadily under the tree roots.
She reached out her hand.
The bright light fell into her palm by itself.
At the same time, memories flooded into my mind.
People crying for mercy under the butcher's knife, people fleeing in panic from the fire, people struggling to survive on the sea but not knowing where to go...
All fragile yet brilliant lives constitute this energy aggregate.
She shed silent tears.
It wasn't that she wanted to cry, but that all the souls that made up the roots of the tree were crying.
They are crying, crying for their own lives.
As if he had learned it by himself, Sakeli held the tree roots tightly and closed his eyes.
The sea was calm and the waves were small enough not to overturn the small wooden plank of offering.
Then countless starlights came from the abyss, trekking from the center of the earth and the deep sea to the human world.
The roots of the tree emit a huge light.
The mysterious phenomenon is gradually disintegrating and collapsing.
Because the course of history has been changed, it no longer exists.
But before the ocean dissipated, starlight broke through.
Those are the mourning boat flowers all over the mountains, they grow on hillsides, mud and sea surface.
The dark blue petals are like small boats, supporting each broken body.
Aizhou, oh Aizhou, please extradite every innocent soul.
*
After the mysterious phenomenon completely collapsed, Sakori found Lin.
Lin was lying on the ground, her cloak had become dirty and the hood had fallen off.
Revealing the upper half of Lin's face.
Sakori helped her put the hood back on her head.
Lin, who was awakened, grabbed her wrist, then realized that it was not the monster and slowly let go.
She stood up from the ground and looked around, but did not see the leader of the tower.
"Feel sorry."
Sakeli shook his head, stood up and handed her the root.
Lin was a little confused, but soon thought of the IOU.
"Did the black cat send you here?"
Sakori scratched his chin. "I didn't come here because of Him... but He did say He would give this thing to you."
Lin took the tree root without hesitation and hid it in her arms.
Everything has a price, but the value of tree roots is almost infinite.
The people around them slowly approached. All the investigators were dead, leaving only their bodies lying on the ground.
There were only three people left in the rebel army. The Secret Mark Society had a lot of members, but President Lu was in a coma, and—
"Mountain orange?" Lin asked loudly.
No one answered.
Ke Jinzhu said, "The leader of the tower is also missing."
It is difficult to say whether the other party took Shanju away or Shanju followed the other party.
Lin's face darkened. If Shanju was taken into the tower, it would be really difficult to rescue him.
We have to contact the association first, divine where Shanju is, and then think about how to get him back.
Ke Jinzhu put the sword back into its sheath. She was actually in a very bad condition, but she was still holding on.
"Let's go, let's leave Nanxi Harbor first."
Now that the tree roots are in hand, although it is a bit regrettable that they are not in my hands, this is not the time to worry about this matter when the crisis is at hand.
There is more than one mysterious phenomenon in Nanxi Harbor. If there is another one, a group of elderly, weak and sick people will be wiped out on the spot.
And I don’t know what’s going on outside.
The speed of time flow in mysterious phenomena is different from that in the outside world. Even the speed of time flow before and after the same mysterious phenomenon is different.
They spent less than a day inside, but had no idea how much time had passed outside.
