Quenched long order

Chapter 123 Growth and Surrogate Death

"Navin!" Kraut shouted loudly, his eyes seemed to be revitalized, and the silk thread was tightened immediately, pulling the body controlled by the evil spirit towards the pit again.

It really works...

It seems that the pale puppet didn't hear my practice in the strange space just now.

Saul thought to himself, and then, he planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

At the same time, the suspicion of imitating the voice is completely ruled out.

"Thank you for everything you have done for me..." This was Naveen's voice imitated by Sauer.

"Kraut, it's time to let him go." This was Saul's own words.

The two voices appeared almost at the same time, and within a short time, Kraut would not realize that he was imitating.

After all, Naveen is the person Klaut cares about the most. If he is caught imitating this kind of thing, it will give people a feeling of being deceived. Even if it is out of good intentions, at this critical point, it is still possible Accidents happen and the situation becomes uncontrollable.

"No, Dad, I was wrong..." The evil spirit was not to be outdone, "I don't dare anymore..." There was even a tear in his voice, as if Navin had really come back to life.

Clout loosened his hands unconsciously.

Oops……

Saul thought something was wrong.

He couldn't imitate such emotionally charged words.

However, the most critical moment has come now. If he is not worried that there may be a reaction, he even hopes that he will step forward to catch the bandaged man and throw him directly into the pit.

If I can't reach the same level emotionally, it seems that I can only change the track and convince Kraut in terms of content.

What exactly does Kraut want?Under the circumstances that Naveen cannot be truly revived, what can be said to satisfy Kraut's inner desire?
Sauer felt that his brain was running fast, and countless conjectures appeared in his mind, but at the same time, he also had to face a very important thing, that is, his memory was not complete.

The lack of memory makes him feel as if a piece of himself is missing, always incomplete, and always flawed. For this, he often doubts himself and thinks about himself.

However, this situation is not without advantages. For example, he found that it was easier for him to substitute for others, and after substituting Kraut, he did not feel any discomfort.

For a father, the child's departure is inevitable, not necessarily in the form of death. So, how can a father watch his child leave with peace of mind?

Soon, he thought of the answer.

The answer is when the child grows up, when the child matures.

Therefore, what he wants to say is ready to come out, as long as Navin can prove that he has grown up.

"Dad, you have to take care of yourself, eat on time, don't stay up late, stop living in the suburbs, move to Ximu Harbor, chat with others more, and don't be bored at home alone."

"Dad, I'm leaving, remember to visit me often."

The imitated Naveen's voice came from above with a hint of echo.

All the words were no longer entangled in the matter of Navin's death, and no longer discussed who was right and who was wrong, or whose words were more reasonable.

Navin and Kraut are family members, and Navin's death was essentially caused by the accumulation of daily conflicts.

Therefore, no matter what Navin himself is, it doesn't matter whether he has such an idea. What is important is how Kraut can let Navin leave with confidence.

A Navin who cares about his family is enough to show that Navin has grown up, at least for an outsider like Sauer, it is enough proof.

"Navin, you've grown up a lot." In order to cooperate with himself, Saul also whispered something. After finishing speaking, he looked down at Kraut lying in the pit. As soon as he took a look, his eyes widened .

Kraut's reaction was even more exaggerated than he had imagined. His eyes and nose were already wet, tears could not stop flowing from both sides of his eyes, and he could even hear faint sobs.

Sauer felt that if he wasn't here, Kraut might really cry out loud.

Then, he saw a scene that shocked him. Claude sat up with strength in his waist, and then seemed to be about to climb out of the pit.

No way... Could it be that what I said made Kraut ignite his desire for life again?
Saul nearly vomited blood.

On the other side, due to Kraut's actions, instead of approaching, the man in the bandage moved away a lot.

"Kraut."

Saul's tone was serious.

"We are running out of time, and we don't have time to think of other ways. I can make a long air tube and put it in your mouth, so that even if you are buried in the soil, you will not suffocate."

He quickly thought of a remedy.

Kraut thought about it carefully, then nodded slightly, and carried out the plan just now again.

This time, no matter how much the bandaged man tried to persuade him with Navin's voice, under the control of the pale puppet's silk thread, he finally lay down in the pit and was tied together by Kraut.

Sauer quickly used the air shovel to shovel down the soil on the side, starting from the feet, filling it up little by little, but he didn't step on the soil firmly. During the period, the pale puppet was also helping.

Until the soil came to Kraut's neck, Sauer gave up the air shovel and started to make the air tube.

At this time, Kraut, who was lying in the pit, suddenly said, "I can't control it, be careful."

Saul quickly lowered his head, but his neck was still caught by a noose, and then, there was a pulling force from above, trying to pull him upwards.

He tried his best to resist, grabbing the bandage with his left hand, the veins on his arm were exposed, while his right hand was still making the long air tube.

On the other side, the pale puppet flipped back, came to Saul, and cut off the bandage forcefully.

Sauer coughed twice, and put the long air tube that had been made into Kraut's mouth.

Kraut was very confused. After feeling the entity of the long air tube, his eyes widened, feeling very surprised.

Saul didn't hesitate, and quickly pushed the remaining soil into the pit with the other hand, filling the pit completely. After doing this, he gasped heavily, and his whole body was already wet with sweat.

Then, he looked up and looked around, and the pale puppet was standing around him, which also proved that Kraut was fine now.

There are no bandages around.

Suddenly, some strange sounds came from the earth-filled pit, like screams and wailing mixed together, but they couldn't come out because of the earth's barrier.

The sound grew louder over time until it reached its peak and then gradually calmed down.

During this period, Sauer kept staring at the ground, occasionally looking around, to beware of the bandaged man who might appear again.

……

As the first rays of the morning sun pass through the leaves and fall over the woodland.

In order to save soul energy, Kraut retracted the pale puppet.

During this period, Sauer was still able to detect the breathing under the soil by virtue of the effect of air perception.

The long air pipe has already been replaced with a hollowed-out tree branch. After all, the pit is not deep, and the soil is not compacted. It only needs to provide enough air for Kraut.

Kraut is fine.

It took Saul a while to get Kraut out of the soil. As for Navin's body, for the sake of safety, he temporarily buried it in place and will deal with it later.

After Kraut came out, he sat down by the tree, his head tilted to the side, obviously very tired, and within a few seconds, he fell into a deep sleep.

The same is true for Sauer who is sitting on the other side. Since he appeared yesterday, he has hardly rested. It is also thanks to his majestic characteristics that he can persist for so long.

Saul didn't wake up until the sun rose above his head. He stood up and stretched his waist. After that, he began to check his body for any abnormalities. The most important point was to touch his back.

Opposite him, Kraut was sitting by the tree, looking at Saul with a pair of eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

"Thank you, Saul."

A thank you came from Kraut's mouth.

"I feel like I've been stuck in a nightmare these past few years. Maybe the Sandman is still affecting me. I can't wake up. I keep struggling, but I get deeper and deeper, and life gets worse and worse. Until today, I just realized that."

Saul waved his hand and didn't say much, he didn't know what to say for a while.

The reason why he came here was actually just a routine inquiry. After all, he had accepted Mrs. Mariela's commission, but this kind of thing happened to him.

"That voice from yesterday." Kraut remembered something.

"What's the sound?" Sauer turned his head, not looking at Kraut.

Kraut frowned, put his left hand on his chin, and fell into deep thought, then he said in a deep voice, "I always have an illusion that Navin's voice last night, and his comforting words sounded a little different. "

"Really?" Saul turned his head back, raised his left hand, and put it on his forehead to block the warm sunlight falling from the gap between the leaves, "I don't know, maybe you haven't heard his voice for too long gone."

Kraut shook his head, not thinking about it anymore, and then he said loudly:

"You also helped me a lot. Tell me, what do you want me to help with? By the way, I remember that you came to ask...what are you asking?"

As he spoke, he fell into deep thought.

"I came here to ask you if the Mance family is still saved, that is, the family that turned into furniture..." Shalton paused, "...and the security guards."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt very strange.

He did come for this matter, but mainly to ask, not to desperately.

"I can think of a way." Kraut said seriously.

"That..." Saul shouted, then he shook his head, "...forget it."

It would be even more strange to say "it doesn't have to be saved" at this time.

"But..." Kraut looked at Saul's face, "...Isn't this something you need help with? From your tone, I can feel that you don't actually know them, if I guess right , is actually commissioned?"

Saul told the truth.

It's normal for Kraut to not remember these things, after all, it has nothing to do with him.

Since Kraut took the initiative to ask, Saul was not polite and told his current situation.

Taking this opportunity, he also asked about the door of borrowing life.

"The door of borrowing life?" Kraut frowned, but did not shake his head, as if he had heard this word before.

After seeing Kraut's expression, Sauer's eyes lit up, expecting Kraut's answer.

"I do know something about the door of borrowing life. The door of borrowing life is not so much a door as a passage to another world. Ordinary people, no, including quenchers, if they want to enter, At least I need a second life." Kraut said in a very serious tone.

"A second life?" Saul suddenly recalled the scene he saw when he was dying. On the beach, there was another Saul and a small boat. "How can a person have a second life?"

He was very puzzled.

Kraut smiled and said: "Of course, there are all kinds of miraculous creations in this world, born from the combination of blessings and curses, and naturally there are items that can replace death, and even the ability of some quenchers is It has a similar effect, naturally, some relics have also inherited a similar effect, but as far as I know, although I don't know the specific reason, it is very strange that a person can only have the death replacement effect once in a period of time."

Can't be resurrected, but can die instead.

Because of relevant experience, it is not difficult to understand.

"Why, do you want to go in?" Kraut asked, "Where did you see the door of borrowing life?" He asked.

Saul opened his mouth and looked Kraut up and down.

Shall I tell him about Stewart Island?If he betrayed me... probably not, but what if?
Saul was very hesitant, and couldn't help but think of his experience on Stewart Island.

If it is not uncertain, he actually wants to share this information with Kraut, hoping to get some suggestions from Kraut. After all, the other party has a broader vision and stronger strength than himself.

He is currently staying in Westwood Port, and there is really not much he can do other than saving money and improving his strength.

As for the investigative team, since the conditions are too harsh and the situation is not clear, they can only choose other methods.

Even if you go to the library to investigate disaster-related matters, it will be difficult to start with the not-uncommon expression of black mist for a while. If you talk too much, you will expose yourself instead.

"Are you afraid?" Kraut stood up with his left hand on the tree trunk, "I felt this way when I first met you. You are very cautious, as if you don't trust everything around you. This kind of distrust Trust has nothing to do with the ability of other people, but a natural reaction to the surroundings, like, how should I put it... just like a child, since birth, has been in an environment where life is threatened, so even if you will He put it in a safe place, and he will still be very careful."

Sauer froze for a moment, he didn't expect Kraut to judge himself.

He was indeed very scared and worried. Even when he came to Ximu Port, this sense of uneasiness had always enveloped him, making him unable to really feel at ease.

In fact, before coming to Westwood Port, he still had nightmares on the Moonlight Wheel, and the content of the dream was related to what happened on Stewart Island, but every time he woke up, he almost forgot , I just remember some rough ideas.

"Is there... is there? Many people are like this, right?"

Saul smiled awkwardly.

"First of all, the pretense and deceit for the purpose of self-protection are not out of habit, but only out of need; secondly, when life is threatened, they will fight each other with their lives, but even if they are at a disadvantage, they don't have the slightest intention of begging for mercy , that is to say, begging for mercy is almost out of your scope, which is interesting, isn't it? Sauer, you will pretend to cheat for profit, but you will not beg for mercy, which does not make sense, unless, in the circumstances where you live Here, begging for mercy is useless." Kraut raised his head and glanced up, as if he was looking at the location where Navin's voice appeared last night.
