Fantasies That Descend on Collapse

"Hey, I would have brought the communicator with me when I came out today, so that I can check what kind of mission Youlandell has received..."

"Crack!"

Just when Teresa was complaining about her inconvenient behavior caused by laziness, the touch from the soles of her feet and the sound in her ears attracted her attention at this moment.

"Huh? What?"

Teresa moved her foot that stepped on something, then bent down, and picked up a few dust-stained fragments from the dirt that she had stepped on.

"The black fragments... seem to be able to be put together?"

The dust-stained black fragments lay quietly in Teresa's white palm. When looking at these black fragments that seemed to come from the same thing, Teresa just put her hand on her palm, Doing this job with almost no difficulty.

The dust on the fragments was carefully wiped off by her, and the corresponding interfaces were accurately aligned by her. After a while, the fragments, which were originally invisible, were all combined together by her.

And those fragments in her hands made up about a third of the black ring...

"This...is this...?"

Looking at the broken ring that was spliced ​​together by herself, Teresa's voice trembled a little.

I can't be wrong, this broken ring is the ring I have seen and worn myself...Then the ring is broken...Isn't it....

When thinking of the result that made her a little scared, Theresa faintly felt uneasy in her heart.

"No...it won't be...it's just a coincidence...that kind of ring should be very common..."

The broken ring turned into fragments in her hand again. Teresa held the fragments tightly and put her hands on her chest, and then kept saying words that could make her feel at ease.

"Hello, Teresa!"

However, at this moment, Ji Zi's sudden calling from a distance made Teresa, who had calmed down a little, become uneasy again.

"What's wrong, Ji Zi!"

Holding the fragment of the ring carefully in her hand, Teresa ran all the way to Jizi's side, and saw Jizi who was squatting on the ground with a serious expression.

"Yeah... did you find anything...?"

It seemed that she was a little flustered by Ji Zi's serious expression, and then she followed the direction Ji Zi pointed, and saw something that was enough to make her faint.

The white sclera, the dusty, slushy lens, and the cerulean iris, which is still eye-catching even if it is shattered.

"Jizi...this...this..."

"Wait for Teresa, it's not necessarily...you need to confirm..."

After understanding what Teresa wanted to express, Ji Zi just silently took out the communicator he carried with him, and then dialed the number that he hardly used.

However, the inability to connect to the notification sound inadvertently confirmed the most unwilling idea in the hearts of the two of them.

"Damn! Why doesn't that brat answer the phone!"

"Don't try, Ji Zi..."

Just when Jizi was cursing and was about to try again, Teresa, who had witnessed everything, just lowered her head, and her tone was calm and somewhat scary.

"I probably know what's going on..."

Facing the unacceptable fact for the two of them, Teresa inexplicably remembered the conversation she had with her grandfather in the room the night before she left.

Her grandfather wanted her to know that the so-called truth...

But is this truth really what she wants to know?

"The bishop must have sent someone to do this..."

"Before I left... I accidentally revealed the news that we will come to Denmark..."

"Being able to cause the previous commotion, the person who captured him must not be able to return unscathed, and with one person, they must not be able to go very far."

"Let's go, Jizi... Let's go find him... After all, we have received so much help from him... It's time to repay him..."

Speaking of which, Teresa slowly raised her head, and looked at Ji Zi who was half squatting in front of her, but her calm expression contained emotions that Ji Zi had never seen before.

"Even if you don't want to come, I will go alone..."

"No matter who takes him away, it can't stop me..."

"Get him back from the bishop's hand!"

Chapter 34

The oppressive darkness that feeds on panic is gradually dissatisfied with the silent path where only fragments of moonlight exist.

Steady steps, trampled on the pavement and fresh fallen leaves on the ground, facing the cold moonlight, raised the humble dust full of oppression on this quiet path.

The weak body, leaning against the slender body under the moonlight, took blood-stained steps, swaying bloodstains in this silent path shrouded in oppressive darkness.

But even so, the steps that trample on the fallen leaves and the steps that are stained with blood can only be insignificant and powerless to resist before the ending swallows everything.

And this resistance, just getting rid of that in an instant, can decide the fate of life and death...

That is like the sky full of gloom, the worst ending where no light can be glimpsed...

------

As the night fell, the forest outside the town, which was less visited by people and became inaccessible, also fell into a panic-stricken silence at this time.

The huge trees as far as the eye can see, the withered yellow leaves and dry texture on the ground, and the whispering insects hidden in the dense bushes, everything is the same as it is when night falls on weekdays, without any difference.

However, at this moment, the sound of heavy breathing and the noise of stepping on dead branches and leaves broke the tranquility in the woods that was almost the same as before.

"Huha... Huha..."

Although it was the first time for Qiyana to break into this place that she had never set foot before, she was being hunted down and had no time to slow down her pace.

Running wildly as hard as possible, plus helping the injured, under the influence of these two difficult factors, that represented the exhausted sweat, which was soaking her entire underwear as the running time lengthened.

The sweat that could irritate the wound gradually penetrated the bandage on the shoulder used to bind the wound, licking the flesh and blood that hadn't fully healed, bringing her the pain that was not serious but hard to last.

As the sweat penetrated more and more completely, the pain from the shoulder wound gradually increased.The excruciating pain consumed her spirit and devoured her physical strength, making her even more tired after a battle.

But no matter how tired her body was and how veiled her spirit was, she still dragged her body, which was almost at the limit of her physical strength, to shuttle through this uninhabited forest.

And her actions were just to repay the unforgivable mistake she made earlier, and to get rid of that, which was almost a foregone conclusion for the two of them.

However, the real reality, compared with that relatively perfect plan, is still much crueler after all.

Qiyana, who helped her mother break into the forest and ran wildly for a long time, was still unable to rely on this body whose physical strength was at its limit to complete the perfect goal specified in her plan.

"Hoo...cough...cough..."

Kiyana, who stopped running wildly, just hugged her mother's waist tightly with her hands, and then leaned against the tree trunk next to her, breathing in the air with her remaining strength.

Tired sweat ran across his cheeks and fell to the ground, and his silver bangs were wet with sweat and became messy.Looking at the dense forest where the two of them were, Qiyana's mood became extremely tense at this moment.

To clear the troops, Qiyana knew the abilities of the team members. If the two of them just ran away like headless chickens, then the only thing waiting for them was to be arrested.

In the original plan, Kiyana planned to take advantage of the darkness of the night and the complexity of the forest in front of her to disrupt the hunting rhythm of the comers, so as to return to the town smoothly. Now, as long as they are careful, they can find a suitable hiding place before the troops find out.

However, it is a pity that in this plan, Qiyana overestimated herself, overestimated her body that had been fought and was already close to its limit.

Now, with her exhausted body alone, it was impossible for her to walk out of the woods with a handicapped wounded person and that heavy weapon, and then enter the small town.

Completely, miscalculated.

Kiyana meditated, leaning against the tree and hugging her mother's waist, feeling the pain of her wet underwear and wound, looking up at the night sky that could only be seen through the branches, her tired heart was full of anxiety.

What should I do... what should I do...

There must be a way, there must be a way...to escape the hunt...!

"Kiana..."

Just when Qiyana was anxiously thinking about how to deal with it, the weak voice that came from her ear made her already exhausted body tremble uncontrollably.

"Mom...how did you...!"

Qiyana, who had a bad heart, stopped looking up at the sky, but when she turned her head to see the whole picture of her mother, what appeared in front of her was the body that made her lean on the tree trunk in shock, They all became stiff.

What catches the eye is the other party's bloodless lips, almost unconscious face, and the overflowing from the abdominal wound, dyed red gauze, extending to the thigh, and finally the ankle, leaving a dazzling bright red clear spot on the ground. blood.

Undoubtedly, the wound on the other party's abdomen, which had barely stopped the bleeding by external force, finally re-opened after this high-intensity escape.

"Ah... ah...!"

Facing such a bloody and strange scene, Qiyana, whose mind was almost blank, just murmured and covered the already blood-red gauze with her hands...

And the one who got it was only the bright red blood with warm body temperature and stained hands...

"It's okay... Kiyana..."

Luo Chen, who was almost unconscious due to excessive blood loss, just leaned his body against Qiyana's body that became stiff from fear, and then rested his head on her shoulder.

"You go first...I just..."

She said, and then put her hands on Kiyana's shoulders, but her words were full of undisguised weakness.

"I'm a little tired...that's all..."

The weak words spoke of a request that Kiyana could not agree to, as if after completing her mission, she just closed her remaining eyes, and the arm that was resting on Kiyana's shoulder, which she used as a support, also fell down. For a moment, it slipped off his shoulder.

And the blood-stained body that lost its fulcrum was also leaning against Kiyana's stiff body, and was about to slide to the ground...

"No... no, don't do this!"

Kiyana shed tears, and then embraced the other party's blood-stained, dead body, and then she put her ear close to the chest where she saw her mother's existence before, listening to what was conveyed from it. The last message out.

The heart in the chest was still beating, but it felt like a weak candle in the cold wind, extremely fragile.

"No... Mom... I won't let you die...!"

After hearing the faint heartbeat from her chest, Qiyana just put the blood-stained fragile body on the ground carefully against the tree trunk.

Then she threw the container carried on the other shoulder to the ground. After wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, she reached out and took out the pure white lance that represented creation.

The pure white lance clings to the penetrating wound on her abdomen. Kiyana, who holds the handle of the lance with both hands, just grits her teeth, and then uses her remaining strength to guide the lance into the wound. The creative power to heal wounds.

A faint white light covered the surface of the pure white lance. It wasn't until Qiyana let go of the hands holding the handle of the gun that the faint fluorescence gradually evaporated, and then completely disappeared.

"That's... just fine..."

Qiyana, who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, finally let go of her hanging heart when she saw that the other party's lips that had turned pale due to excessive blood loss regained the blood color that an ordinary person should have. down.

At least her mother will not die in this silent and inaccessible woods because of the mistakes she made earlier.
