Kicked out of Rhodes Island, a small quilt was covered in the hole of the Longmen Bridge

When people are dreaming, they occasionally seem to encounter the situation of "dream within a dream". Obviously, for Bai Hua, this is the situation now.

"Hmm... I always feel that if I go on like this, I won't even be able to distinguish between reality and dreams—anyway, where is this?"

Gray Wolf rubbed his head and got up from the ground. This is not the tavern in Poshan Town as the 'birth point', nor the hidden studio of Huiqishan, but a place that is even more unfamiliar and palpitating.

Bai Hua staggered up from the ground, although her mind was still a bit confused, but at least this time, she was able to record the ins and outs of the past in a coherent manner.

Li's actions, Xi's confusion, the boundaries of the "picture scroll", the sun and the moon hanging in the sky—Bai Hua knew that her last thought was "wanting to devour the moon", and this thought was like a key that would hold her Something was released from the seal, dragging the birch in the scroll into the lower abyss.

After sorting out the previous situation a bit, Bai Hua finally had the time to observe the surrounding environment.

Unlike Poshan Town, it is surrounded by a dark corridor, and the only thing that can be felt around it is the ground under its feet. This cold touch will not make Bai Hua mistakenly think that he is floating in mid-air.

The only thing that can be seen by the eyes is the farthest blue flame, but because the distance is too far, it looks like a light spot.

Although it is not clear what that thing is, it may even be a lantern used by monkfish to lure the enemy, but because there is no other target to confirm at this time, Bai Hua can only move towards that light.

step - step - step -

The echo of the feet stepping on the ground can vibrate back from the sides, but the sound is extremely dull, and this echo disturbs the hearing of the ears.

Except for vision, almost all other perceptions were deprived. Although Bai Hua had also experienced temporary blindness and deafness on the battlefield, this feeling of being slowly "swallowed" by the endless darkness was still unbearable for Bai Hua. .

However, it didn't take long before the sense of smell suddenly started to work.

"—the smell of decay"

Bai Hua, who was walking towards the pale blue spot of light in the distance, sniffled. Her sense of smell, which had not been functioning well, suddenly caught a stench of decaying flesh in front of her.

This smell is very familiar to Bai Hua. Although it has been a while since I have come into contact with it, Bai Hua will definitely not be able to forget this smell due to the experience she had.

"Click!"

In the originally invisible environment, dazzling white lights suddenly appeared on both sides of the road, and these white lights stretched forward parallel to the lights on both sides of the catwalk.

But different from the catwalk, under the shroud of these white beams of light, there is a corpse lying in each beam of light.

Well-dressed in suits and leather shoes, but the only corpses that have lost their heads, dressed in ordinary clothes holding tableware in their hands, waiting for a meal to be pierced through the throat, wearing body armor, holding crossbow arrows and wearing sunglasses, but the heart has been taken out entirely A corpse, a corpse wearing a top hat and windbreaker, holding a high-end cigar with its fingertips, but its jaw is completely separated——

"……what is this?"

On both sides of the road leading to the farthest blue flame, under the white spotlights, these corpses with different expressions and different methods of death are lined up in two rows, extending continuously like a stair railing.

"Why are there so many dead bodies? And why, this feeling..."

Bai Hua's left arm was cut off, and there was a corpse with a penetrating wound in his abdomen. Qian stopped, he looked at the corpse, and then suddenly found that there was a mark on the collar of the shirt worn by the corpse, a mark for Bai Hua. Said to be very strange, but very familiar with the mark, a birch tree.

"This is, the mark on the coin...?"

Bai Hua leaned closer to observe the symbols on the corpse's clothes, the mark on the outline of the big tree, no matter how you looked at it, it matched the coin that Bai Hua carried with her and had always had before she lost her memory.

After confirming this, Bai Hua immediately came to the nearby corpse, and as expected, Bai Hua saw the symbol again on the matchbox used in the opponent's pocket.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Hua found this symbol in various positions of more and more corpses.

Texas once said that the symbol on this coin seems to be an old gang in Syracuse, but that gang disappeared mysteriously more than ten years ago, and has never been heard from since.

If the symbol was for some old mob family, then why they disappeared—maybe that's why these bodies were here.

These corpses were so familiar, yet extremely unfamiliar, a slight stabbing pain came from his forehead, so that Bai Hua could only continue to walk forward.

Accompanied by countless corpses, Bai Hua got closer and closer to the blue flame in front of him, from the initial blue light spot to the distance where the outline could be clearly seen.

It was at this time that Bai Hua realized that it was not a 'flame', but a 'pupil', emitting a blue light, staring at her pupils motionlessly.

After confirming that the blue flame was the pupil, and that it was staring at him, Bai Hua ignored the corpses around him that seemed unreal to him, and strode forward.

Although the identities of those corpses and the coat of arms of the Syracuse gang all make Bai Hua feel a kind of mysterious nostalgia, but now the most urgent task is to obtain the power of the real "behemoth", and close the last "hole" in the scene of Poshan town. Just wipe it off completely.

Bai Hua walked straight towards the blue pupil, and the pupil became bigger and bigger accordingly.

When the eyes were shining like moonlight, almost half the height of Bai Hua, a white beam of light lit up again, but this time it was not the corpses on both sides, but the middle of the road, a person Turning his back to his own figure.

The shadow looked like a little girl in her teens. The other party had long pure white hair and was of the Lupus tribe like herself, with fluffy pointed ears and a fluffy tail.

Bai Hua has never seen such a back view... It can't be said that he has never seen it. In fact, when he was in Longmen, he seemed to vaguely remember that there was indeed such a white wolf, but Bai Hua didn't know the specific existence of the wolf.

however--

"Managalm?"

Looking at the back figure kneeling on the ground in front of her, Bai Hua didn't even think about it, and completely relied on instinct to say a name that even she felt was extremely strange.

This is like some kind of muscle, no, like some kind of memory engraved in the soul, even though Bai Hua's reason and memory have worn out the relevant area, she still can't help calling out that name.

"..."

The white wolf girl in front of her froze for a moment when she heard the name. Her ears twitched, and her tail also wagged accordingly. It seemed that she had reacted to the name.

"You're back...? Didn't you abandon me?"

The girl's voice came out, similarly, this voice was inexplicably familiar to Bai Hua's ears, and for some reason, even his heart trembled a little.

The white-haired wolf responded to Bai Hua. She got up from the ground, and she was indeed just a girl in her teens in terms of height.

She turned her head slowly, ready to meet Bai Hua's eyes, but just before Bai Hua saw the girl's face clearly——

"boom!!!!"

"Well--!?"

The blue pupils behind the girl suddenly closed, and the cold light source suddenly disappeared. Immediately afterwards, a bloody maw full of fangs shot out from the darkness, completely devouring the girl with precision.

"Wait a moment!!"

The sudden change made Bai Hua's eyes widen. He instinctively ran towards the front, and at the same time stretched to his waist to try to draw out the weapon, but he pounced, because he had nothing on him at this time.

"What a hypocrite, those corpses are obviously your masterpiece, but at this time you hypocritically want to save people?"

In the bottomless darkness ahead, a deep and oppressive voice came out.

"--Who are you"

Bai Hua frowned, he stood where he was, and asked the darkness in front of him.

Facing Bai Hua's questioning, a giant wolf slowly came out from the darkness.

"……Wolf?"

Bai Hua finally saw the figure of the monster in front of him. The other party was a giant wolf returning to his ancestors. The blue pupils were its eyes. The huge body was at least 4 or 5 meters high, and the whole body was covered with gray hair. It's just that the fur doesn't match up with 'Smooth' at all, it's almost like it's covered with sharp thorns.

Not only that, but the giant wolf just stood in front of Bai Hua, and the constant oppressive feeling was enough to make people sweat, not to mention the scorching breath from the other party's nostrils.

"You left all those corpses in the corner of your memory, thinking that you could escape the past in this way—I have to say, it's really childish and ridiculous behavior."

The giant wolf stared at Bai Hua, and sneered like a mocker.

"What are you talking about, I caused those corpses?"

For some reason, although the giant wolf in front of him was undoubtedly a 'giant beast', the oppressive feeling it gave off did not make Bai Hua panic, and she was still able to face this giant beast calmly.

At this time, Bai Hua was more confused than panicked and surprised. Where is this place?This gray wolf in front of me, those corpses, girls, badges—what the hell is going on?

"Huh...interesting."

Facing Bai Hua's question, the giant wolf sneered.

"You guys have obviously destroyed and forgotten all the memories of the past, but you suddenly grabbed a fragment at this time. Could this also be the ability of the painter? But it is true, the so-called world in the painting, in fact The essence is nothing more than a rough dream drawn by human hands. On this basis, searching and stitching the discarded fragments together does not sound like a troublesome task. It is a pity that the artist himself has no dreams for a hundred years, so he can only be a painter after all. You're a second-rate guy who doesn't know the way, heh."

The giant wolf laughed at Bai Hua and Xi mercilessly. It seemed that it was not an "illusory" existence like those corpses and the white wolf girl, but a creature with its own will and even a certain degree of perception of the outside world.

"What are you talking about over there like you know everything—wait, are you that monster?"

Bai Hua was a little puzzled by this giant wolf who had been chattering since he came up, but immediately realized that the giant wolf with blue pupils in front of him might be himself as a 'Chimera' mixed with the power of a false king and a giant beast One of those 'behemoths'.

"Ha, you just realized it now? This is really stupid, but it's true to say that, after all, you have been resisting my ability from the beginning, and you even hesitated to do that kind of thing. Now you will It’s reasonable to forget all these things.”

The giant wolf snorted mockingly, its eyes were fixed on Bai Hua, and a cold breath was exhaled from the corner of its mouth.

"'That kind of thing'—what do you mean? What do you mean when you say I have forgotten these things? This power is not suppressed by the doctor, but by my own choice?"

Bai Hua blinked, and the words spoken by the giant wolf sounded so strange that he couldn't understand them at all, but there still seemed to be some fragments left.

Before he became Kazdel's mercenary and wandered with W, Bai Hua didn't have any memories of the past. The only thing he had was a coin with a birch tree on it, and he didn't know where he learned it, even in the worst A killing technique that can survive even on the battlefield.

Now facing this giant blue wolf in this dark corridor, Bai Hua vaguely senses that the past that he once lost may be found by him again.

"You used to be not the kind of mother-in-law who would ask a lot of questions, wolf cub. And this is really interesting. At that time, you obviously took the initiative and almost gave up your life, just to seal up everything about this place. Wake up, but now you want me to help you remember again? But unfortunately, I have no obligation to help you with that kind of thing. I am happy to admire your dying figure, or the appearance of being entangled in the mystery of the past, haha .”

The giant wolf questioned and laughed at Bai Hua, but at the same time, he changed his direction to help Bai Hua confirm that the culprit who caused his memory loss in the past and caused himself "although he has the power of a giant beast, but can only be sealed in the body" - is himself .

——This guy’s personality is too bad

Listening to the words of the giant wolf, Bai Hua frowned. The other party didn't seem to have any intention of communicating with him, not only that, but also seemed to have a lot of hostility towards him.

It seemed that he had really had something to do with this giant beast before.

But even so...

"Giant wolf, as you said, I have no memory of the past at all, and I don't know why you are here, but I need your power of the giant beast now. I have something I want to eliminate, but Only relying on the current me, even if I turn on the 'Eternal Day' mode, I'm afraid I can't completely swallow it, and my current situation is not stable, I may suffer more serious backlash after forcibly turning on the 'Eternal Day' mode, I promise But Dr. Kelsey will try not to take any more risks in the future."

Regarding her past, Bai Hua decided to put it aside for the time being, the only thing she needs to do now is to obtain the power of this giant beast.

"Swallow?"

After hearing this word, the giant wolf raised his eyebrows for the first time.

"What are you going to devour?"

"The boundary between the sun and the moon in the picture scroll."

"—"

Hearing Bai Hua's words, the giant wolf froze for a moment, and then let out a blatant laugh.

"Hahaha!! Swallow the sun and moon in the picture scroll? Interesting—this is really interesting! Okay, then swallow the sun and the moon completely! It's just that you don't have the qualifications yet, wolf cub , if you really plan to devour the moon in the water, then you can only let me occupy and guide your body. Your consciousness and existence may also be swallowed by me who is interested, so it doesn't matter?"

The giant wolf laughed, then looked at the gray wolf boy in front of him, and questioned himself.

"Using the power of a giant beast is itself a curse for a mortal. Backlash and self-destruction are common behaviors. Unless it is like the giant beast of Ursus, which weakens its own ability and simply uses 'extending life' as a The goal, otherwise the power of the giant beast—it will never be something that people can covet and control. Do you understand, wolf cub? There is a price to pay for using power—the price of being swallowed and dissipated.”

Facing the aggressive questioning from the giant wolf, Bai Hua held her chin and thought for a few seconds.

"From what you said before... I've 'sealed' you once before, and it has continued?"

"Don't get me wrong, wolf cub. That kind of half-baked behavior is not a 'seal'. You just happened to get a not-so-bad result with a lunatic's action."

The giant wolf snorted unhappily. Although the process was different, it seemed that it did suffer from itself before.

"That's enough. I've done similar behaviors before, and it's fine this time. Lend me your power, giant wolf."

Bai Hua made a judgment, and the process was very decisive.Facing the quick judgment of the gray wolf in front of him, it was obvious that even the giant wolf was stunned for a moment.

"You lunatic... Even if you lose your previous memories, the result is still the same as before—what's the point of doing this for that guy?"

The giant wolf was slightly stunned, and then asked Bai Hua why he was so desperate for a small world in the painting.

"It has nothing to do with meaning. I just want to help Xi and Li. They shouldn't end up like this, that's all."

Bai Hua replied flatly, because she wanted to help, so she went to help. This is a very simple and natural reason.It's just that I have to find someone to help me with this help, that's all.

"What a wayward brat, then after seeing this thing, can you still respond so easily?"

The giant wolf was a little annoyed by Bai Hua's response, he took two steps forward, and this time his huge body came out of the darkness completely.

It was at this moment that Bai Hua finally saw what was 'carried' on the back half of the giant wolf behind the wolf's head——

"what is this?"

Bai Hua's eyes widened, and the scene he saw in front of him made him a little hard to understand for a moment.

Although the giant wolf had hair like steel needles, even so, the back half of his body was already covered with brass-colored thorns.

Those thorns pierced into the giant wolf's body fiercely like barbed wire. The sores were very deep, and because they could not be healed, those 'copper-yellow spikes' that stuck into the giant wolf's body had already made the wound gradually fade away. become inflamed and rotten.

However, even so, the vine-like spikes were still slowly spreading forward, intending to completely turn this giant wolf into a mass of rotten food.

"You've been dragging these things...?"

"Ha, you should be very familiar with this thing, right? This is what your loved one made - the so-called 'false king', which is kept in your and my bodies in this parasitic way."

The giant wolf taunted Bai Hua mercilessly, and at the same time retracted the almost pierced body into the darkness again.

"See? This thing is oozing pus in my body and in your spirit. 'Help if you want to help'? Ridiculous, you want to help those people with idiotic behavior, but they do it in such a way Come to 'repay' you, how many years do you have left to live? This thing not only penetrates my body, you will eventually die because of it, just like the garbage on the side of the road."

"..."

"Are you satisfied? Just 'wanting to help' turned into this appearance, being manipulated at will like a tool man, and becoming a sad existence that will eventually die—do you still want to help those hypocritical guys?"
