This is a giant eye, with a diameter of no less than three meters. As Felkin described, there is a narrow and long damage in the middle, and inside the damage is a dark and deep cosmic void.
The moment this thing appeared, everyone staring at it couldn't help but tremble.
[That’s it…]
A soft voice rang in their hearts.
[Bring her up here, good boy.]
[Bring them all up, quickly...]
The giant worm's body wrapped around the statue, surrounding the giant eye in the rotten flesh, and trembled back and forth impatiently in the flashing red light.
Hitzfeld squinted at the eyeball and saw a silver hand-and-a-half sword stuck in its lower edge.
This is the light source.
Ever since the giant eye appeared, the rotten flesh around it... and the part that merged with the stone sculpture had been constantly flowing with scarlet liquid. At least half of them would violate the laws of physics and forcibly change direction during the flow, and be summoned by the silver sword.
Corrupted blood surrounded the sword and seeped into it.
The lower half of the sword blade had already merged with the coagulated corrupted blood, becoming a stalactite cone-like shape.
There was a constant stream of bright red light shining through it, flickering, as if it was giving birth to something ominous.
[It’s now…]
She heard the call of the insect mother in her heart.
[Say it...say the name you heard then.]
Chapter 93 Dislocation
Why should I do what you ask?
After taking a breath, Hitzfeld asked himself directly in his heart.
[Even if you beg me, you should at least tell me what you want.]
[Are you trying to trick me...?]
The giant insect was vaguely angry, and her voice no longer sounded as sweet as it had at the beginning.
[This is nothing to you.] She kept trying to persuade the girl, [You don’t need to touch anything that looks dangerous, as long as you say that name... I promise to let you go, and you can be free again.]
[You can also choose to refuse.] She added immediately before Hitzfeld could answer, and at the same time a group of cloaked men came forward to surround them, with various swords and weapons in their hands pointed at their vital parts.
[But I can't guarantee what will happen to your companions...]
"Aisun, don't worry about us." Xia Yibing was keenly aware of the girl's difficulties and leaned close to her and whispered, "Just do what you want. Don't worry... I will be with you no matter what the result is."
Although I am very touched by what you said, how can anyone really feel at ease...
Hitzfeld curled his lips and looked back at Darent.
"Me too." Darent nodded at her, imitating the woman's way. "We have already discussed this, haven't we? If it's really as you guessed..."
He didn't finish, but it was enough to provide the girl with the final courage.
"Okay." With his eyes closed, Hitzfeld's tone gradually became firm, "If you can keep your word... I will help."
[I never lie...] Rou twisted her body, [Read quickly... baby... quickly... call His name to me...]
"Abu..." Hitzfeld uttered one syllable directly.
"Aibu... Gesar..."
"Aibu... Gesar..."
"She said Abu Qasar..."
When the people nearby heard the syllables, they immediately fell into a state of confusion and stagnation. They subconsciously moved their lips and tongues to repeat it, and one person spread it to ten people, ten to a hundred, and quickly led the entire tribe.
"Aibu... Gesar..."
People murmured the name, knelt down once again, and worshiped the statue of the goddess - the wriggling thing at the top.
"Aibu... Gesar..."
It was as if all time had come to a halt and all space had come to a standstill. The scene in Hitzfeld's eyes changed dramatically once again.
Like turning pages, images appeared before her eyes.
She saw a thin man sitting on the windowsill playing the violin.
He saw a pretty girl with brown hair leaning on the windowsill, supporting her chin and looking at him with a smile.
They lived together, interacted with each other, sometimes quarreled but quickly made up, and she saw him start to teach her the violin... starting from the most basic music scores to let her appreciate the charm of music.
She didn't notice - no one noticed, except for one person - a person who looked like the girl in the picture she had glimpsed was slowly walking up the stairs.
The sound of her footsteps was drowned out by the people's singing. The huge sound waves and the chirping of insects merged together. Everyone was just staring at the statue. Only one person seemed to have realized something and turned back.
"you……"
Darente opened his eyes slightly when he saw the person's face.
He finally understood what Hitzfeld meant by the "tearing feeling".
At first glance, the person who came was also a worm species. But beneath her figure was another body and face, and that face was 80% similar to the person in his dream.
"Roula..." His lips trembled as he stepped towards her, "I...why would you..."
He miscalculated.
Yes, Hitzfeld did tell him everything, and he was ready to face her.
But the reality is not like this.
He had thought he could do it, that he could do his job conscientiously, face her calmly as an agent, and ask her what had happened over the years.
He overestimated himself.
He couldn't do it... He finally decided that he couldn't do it.
Especially when he saw her face clearly and saw her pointing his gun at him, that feeling... that pain... he wished he had never existed.
"I see."
Hitzfeld suddenly looked up and stared at the giant insect.
"You want to break away from the identity of Roula...you want to take its place."
Since they have already fallen out, there is no need for her to follow her gentle nature.
What is 'Him' and what is not 'Him'...
A monster is a monster, no matter how many people worship it.
[You guessed it…]
The giant insect's body slowly pressed down.
[Yes.] It admits it directly.
[I want the name you said.]
"why?"
Hitzfeld narrowed his eyes.
"You know that the phenomenon of 'cognitive tampering' exists, which means that you at least have moments of clarity."
"You are well aware of the dangers of doing this. You know what you are dealing with. Why did you choose this? You clearly had the opportunity to talk to her... and to Jonah, but you chose the worst path..."
[What is the worst!]
The giant insect interrupted her harshly.
[What do you know? The feeling of your perception changing every moment... the person who greeted you with a smile in the last second turned into a monster in the next second! And this situation keeps switching! Who can stand this kind of life?]
[I remembered it a long time ago!]
It wrapped around the goddess statue and poked its head towards the girl from the other side.
[That old bastard Jodin... that's how crazy he is... it's not enough for him to be crazy alone! He wants to drag me into this... drag me into this never-ending purgatory!]
"Yordin is dead."
[No!] It retorted angrily, [They merged! He will always bear this sin!]
[I don’t want to be like him…]
[Can you imagine? That feeling... I thought I could end it all by jumping down... But the Sword of Ahoyin...]
[Then tell me why I have to endure all this? ]
[I wish I hadn’t thought about it…]
[I am tired of...]
[I want to make a change but I don’t know where to start…]
[I can hear those whispers every day, every hour, every moment...]
[But I can’t understand their meaning… I feel confused… Sometimes I even forget who I am…]
[Until you... until fate brought you to me...]
[I knew I was saved...]
"So you have to look for the memory of Roula." Hitzfeld looked at her, "It would be best if... you could destroy the memory that Roula values most. This way, you can successfully get rid of the cognitive burden, eat Jonah as you imagined, and try to combine with it with a complete personality..."
[That’s right…] The giant insect admitted.
[And the most convenient way to destroy memory is to directly destroy its carrier.]
[So you have to say goodbye to your friend.]
[Maps-Dyrant…]
[Although I don’t even know what happened between us, but——]
"boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, gunshots were heard under the statue.
Darent's body trembled violently.
The others... Xia Yibing, Bruce, and Leah all stared at him with wide eyes, their faces devoid of any color.
"puff!"
Suddenly, a bloody hole appeared on the big ball of flesh on the statue, and it began to spray out rotten blood crazily.
[…This is impossible!]
The giant insect was stunned for a moment, then suddenly screamed.
[I clearly borrowed His power! I gave her a hint——]
"You mean the emotional implications?"
Darent suddenly turned around and smiled brightly.
"Tampering with her cognition, making her think that I betrayed this relationship or something like that... and then exaggerating and describing other bad things I have done, will indeed have a good effect."
[Then why……]
"But who told you?"
The wooden man frowned.
"We are lovers now."
Chapter 94: All the cards are revealed
Hitzfeld respects experience.
She knew that even though she had performed well in many cases, she was still far from being experienced. At least compared to Xia Yibing and Dai Lunte, she still had some shortcomings.
So she actually respects these people very much, and when they insist on something, she will not force them too much.
Darent never revealed the true relationship between Roula and him from beginning to end. Even when he was "forced" by her, he only said something vague.
