Christina reached up to touch the wound, and immediately, her hand was stained red with blood. Blood flowed down from her forehead, forming a gruesome scene. Christina tried to wipe it away with her hand. The recent impact left her dizzy, her limbs trembling, and everything in front of her now spinning uncontrollably. Even her gaze seemed to lose focus.Tension filled the air as Mei slowly stood up, water dripping from her body in rivulets. In front of Christina’s bewildered eyes, Mei stood up, stepping out of the bathtub. Each drop of water fell on the ceramic tiles, forming puddles on the floor and mixing with Christina’s blood.“Mei...” Christina called in confusion, her lips trembling, but Mei seemed unresponsive to that name or Christina’s words. Mei awkwardly wrapped a towel around her slender figure. The once tranquil room was now filled with the impending storm.“You...” Christina finally realized what was happening. It wasn’t Mei standing before her; it was someone else, and
Evan’s car suddenly braked in front of Christina’s house. Still the same atmosphere, gloomy and quiet, along with a chillingly impersonal space.The layer of mist surrounding the garden seems thicker than usual, like a scarf wrapped around the house. It sounds romantic, but in reality, it is extremely sinister.As soon as the car stopped, all four people jumped out of the car. Anyone who was there would feel the strangeness.Jonas got out of the car. Even though he couldn’t see anything, his senses told him that something bad was happening. He raised his head to the sky. Suddenly there was a bird’s cry in his ear. The pig bird kept flying above people’s heads, making a few loud screams. And with each bird’s chirp, Jonas moved his mouth every time he counted, exactly nine.Ancient Eastern people often had the notion that wherever a pig or bird cried, someone would die in that area. If it cried seven times, the dead person would be a man, and if it cried nine times, the person would be
Jonas suddenly turned to Mei. Mei said, she was waiting for him, but more specifically, waiting for his eyes? Why, why is it like this, he and she don't know each other at all, this is the first time he comes to this town, I'm afraid the thing that possessed Mei now he doesn't know either. So why did she say she was waiting for you? Still waiting for your eyes? What do the eyes of a blind person have to wait for?" What did you say?" Jonas spoke up and asked Mei, or rather what possessed Mei.“Oh, your innocent, clueless appearance is so adorable!” After Mei finished speaking, she held her stomach and burst out laughing. This appearance of hers could not help but remind others of Liliana, it was just as horrifying and barbaric. No, perhaps more than Liliana, because now it was coming from a girl not yet thirteen years old, an innocent-looking girl in a pure white dress. The current Mei and her appearance have nothing to do with each other, no matter how innocent and pure her appearanc
Both quickly gained the upper hand, and Mei was pushed against the wall.“Kill that witch!” Etham, seeing the situation turning favorable, quickly emerged from the corner of the room, swinging two unknown grass blades back and forth. With the current situation, Jonas and Evan had a solid victory, and he had nothing to fear anymore.“Turn her into a roasted cushion for me!”On the other side, Brendan began to eagerly watch. He held Christina’s waist with one hand and pointed straight at Mei’s face with the other, his mouth no less “naughty” than Etham’s.“Yes, yes, beat that monster out of Mei! Show those people who don’t act like people and ghosts who don’t act like ghosts what respect means!”Towards Jonas and Evan, meeting Etham and Brendan’s expectations, the two quickly controlled Mei. Mei was cornered, resembling a fish on a chopping board.“Damn it! Damn it! Filthy humans!”Mei continued to curse, and she could barely hold on. From the beginning until now, she had exhausted all
Etham stood absentmindedly whistling next to Evan's new car, in his hand was Brendan's stolen cashew nut package.“It would be great to have grilled rabbit meat!” Etham looked into the distance, his mouth yawning, lazily speaking. The weather is getting colder and colder, the ginkgo hill next to Evan's house has also become bare of leaves, they look as flat as dry bones, stretching out to welcome the cold, gut-wrenching wind. Lately, although the sky is still clear and the clouds are white, perhaps the cold of January is approaching, so the temperature has also dropped.Etham wore a warm fur coat, biting cashews and thinking about the things that had happened, from Liliana's story, to Christina's story, it was as fast as a dream.“That said, living today cannot predict tomorrow. So Etham, most of all you should enjoy it!”The words had not yet completely left his mouth when an unknown object suddenly fell from the sky, landing right in front of Etham's feet.“Fuck, what the fuck!” Eth
“I really don't understand you guys, suddenly separated like this, what do you want me to do!” Etham trotted after Jonas, muttering. Lately, his relationship with Brendan has been extremely good. If it weren't for Jonas in this direction, he would definitely follow Brendan. Etham still keeps Evan's talk in his heart. This time he agreed to return only because of Jonas and Brendan, absolutely not because of that heartless person, nor because at Evan's house there were warm blankets, soft mattresses, or delicious food. Sometimes chilling in the forest is even better than that place!“Hey you two, wait for me!” Just engrossed in thinking for a bit, Etham was almost left behind by Evan and Jonas's group.“Hey, I'm still behind!”“Hey Jonas, wait for me!” Etham put his feet on his head and ran."You have to wait for me, Jonas. I'm so scared here alone. What if that ghost comes again, this time it possesses me?" Jonas! Jonas! Wait for me!" Elder Etham ran his entire neck screaming, this hou
“So what about your sword? Is it a family heirloom from the Oslates family?” In addition to Cuktor's story, there was still another story related to Evan that made him curious, which was his sword, the sword that was broken in half.“That's right, that sword is something my grandfather left behind, it wouldn't be wrong to say it's a hereditary thing from the Oslates family.” Evan nodded slightly, he had nothing to hide about this.Pausing for a moment, Evan continued“It's just that it's no longer intact. It's not like it just broke in half, it was already broken when my grandfather was alive. As far as I know, it was because during a fight with Cuktor, my grandfather broke it, and that time my grandfather was also injured quite a bit.”Hearing that, Jonas pondered for a while. He knows that the sword's origin is not simple, it may carry immense power that both he and Evan have yet to discover. Evan only had the hilt and half of the blade, the whereabouts of the remaining half of the
Although Alice didn't say anything, her expression seemed to give Jonas the answer, he understood.“Alice, where is the gate of paradise?” For some reason, Jonas keeps having the feeling that the gate of paradise is closely related to his real world, and now it could be one of the important keys to help him win with Cuktor. Knowing me, a hundred battles and a hundred victories, you cannot help but know about the place where Cuktor used to live and always wanted to return.“Where is the Gate of Eden? You have to find this out yourself, the system will not reveal it.” Alice replied with a cold voice, the wings behind her flapping continuously.Jonas remained silent and said nothing. In fact, he had already guessed Alice's answer, he just wanted to confirm it again.“Okay, I'm done asking.” After Jonas finished speaking, he closed the system. He no longer trusted this system absolutely anymore.Jonas left the library, Evan and everyone else also left to go to Christina's room. It was not
