quicksilver blood

Chapter 205 Fear and Lies
An Ruosi followed Esther, walking slowly in the corridor without any light source.

He didn't know where it was.The two of them have been walking here for five or six minutes since Esther teleported in with him.

Because of the experience of this adventure, An Ruosi did not let down his vigilance because of the safety during this period, but carefully felt everything around him, lest he suddenly stretch out a dry hand in the dark world. of.

The magic power he derived from his body was condensed on his fingertips, ready to go.

It is true that in this case, An Ruosi's magic power will gradually drain away at a slow rate over time.But at least this is much better than not being able to mobilize magic power after something happens.

This was also the spell-casting technique Captain Macon taught him after he separated from Roland and the others.

With a nervous mood, An Ruosi followed Esther carefully.

Almost every step he took was in the footsteps of Esther.

An Ruosi could hear the sound of splashing water under his feet resounding in the dark corridor, echoing lonely.

The stench in the air is sticky and heavy, and it is inhaled into the lungs through the trachea, and one can even feel something slippery rolling in the throat.

An Ruosi even suspected that her exposed skin had been coated with a film.

In this weird environment, An Ruosi didn't even dare to speak——

It was too quiet around.An Ruosi even had the illusion that the two of them were walking in the esophagus of the giant beast.

He took two quick steps and grabbed Este's sleeve.I want to slow down the pace of Esther's feet.

But unexpectedly, Esther ignored him.Instead, he walked faster.

A huge force came from Este's sleeve, pulling An Ruosi forward suddenly, and he was almost pulled back.

I always feel like I've overlooked something.The rapidly fermenting anxiety made An Ruosi's heart beat faster and faster.

He even felt the violent roar in his chest now.Even not only the heart, An Ruosi could even clearly hear the pulsation of the blood vessels on the neck and wrists.

The whole world is as quiet as an illusion.

An Ruosi's eyes trembled nervously.Looking around nervously.

His Adam's apple slid up and down, and he swallowed heavily.

An Ruosi finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He stretched out his hand to grab Esther's sleeve again, and at the same time said hurriedly: "Wait, wait, Ai..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a sudden chill.

——Because An Ruosi's outstretched right hand did not touch the texture of the fabric before.

Wherever his right hand touched, there was something slippery and sticky.The slippery and cold feel is reminiscent of aquatic products, feces, or rotting internal organs.

An Ruosi was taken aback, and reflexively threw something out of his hand.

But at that moment, An Ruosi suddenly realized what was wrong——

...Why, before, when I took every step, there was the sound of water on the ground?
An Ruosi suddenly held his breath.His heartbeat became more intense, and he even faintly felt a blankness in his brain caused by lack of oxygen.The scene in front of me also began to fade.

But it doesn't matter.I can't see anything anyway...

There is no light source around, it is really too dim.

An Ruosi could only see a vague black figure in front of him.

Now he suddenly began to wonder if it was Esther who he had been following all this time?

Moreover, why can I see the footprints on the ground clearly without a light source?
Don't look down--

Such an alarm sounded crazily in An Ruosi's heart.

But because of this, he lowered his head subconsciously.

Immediately, An Ruosi almost fainted.

I don't know when it started, the footprints under An Ruosi's feet have turned into wet marks three times the size of adult feet.

——However, it is indeed the trace of human feet.

But human feet will never be so big——

An Ruosi raised his head in panic, only to find a half-rotten head hanging in front of his eyes with a very strange smile.The nose of the rotten skull was not even more than three centimeters away from An Ruosi's cheek.

Being so close, the rotten stench has even rushed into An Ruosi's nasal cavity.

An Ruosi's pupils instantly contracted to the limit.

There was a gurgle in the depths of his throat, and his body instinctively wanted to escape, but the place below his knees seemed to be embedded in place.

Accidentally, he fell to the ground.

With a "pop", the sound of viscous water resounded crisply.

That's not a deep water mark.About a finger deep to say the least.But An Ruosi was almost completely soaked at this moment.

His gaze had grown hollow.

An Ruosi raised his water-soaked hands in a daze, and raised them to his eyes.

Strange to say.The surroundings should have been extremely dark without any light sources—but at this moment, An Ruosi saw his hands extremely clearly.

It was covered with sticky bright red.

is blood--

An Ruosi made a judgment instinctively.While he was making a judgment, the blood on the entire floor came into An Ruosi's sight.Let his eyes become blood red.

Yes, the blood was only a finger wide - but what if you counted the entire 5 minutes I walked?
An Ruosi's heart was beating desperately, but he still couldn't breathe.

The world in front of me has begun to be gradually pulled away.

At this moment, he heard the sound of ticking water coming from his ears.

— don't look up.

— don't look up.

— don't look up.

— don't look up!
His reason desperately warned himself.But An Ruosi's neck seemed to be manipulated, making a dry creaking sound, and raised it rattling.

——It was Esther's body.

No, it's not so much a corpse as it is a corpse.

No legs, no forearms.His remaining limbs were tattered, full of scars caused by crushing and twisting.

Now it seems that the half-rotted head is the most complete part of the body

What remains of his torso looks like a crucifix.Seven or eight thin black threads hung down from the sky, tying up Esther's body from all angles.Hanging in the air like a pendulum, it swings slowly from side to side.

Dark red blood oozes from the place that is tightened by the black thread, and falls on the water with a special rhythm.

At this moment, a soft laughter came from his ears, something warm and smooth wrapped the top of his head, and slowly swallowed it down.

Like something was going to swallow him whole.

"Ahhhhhhhhh-"

An Ruosi finally broke down.

The magic power in his whole body exploded out, creating a violent hurricane.

But at the same time, the excessively rough use of magic power also shattered the skin of his whole body.At that moment, An Ruosi seemed to have turned into a blood man.

His actions set off the prelude to the mutation.

The blood on the ground, the surrounding walls, and the corpse behind them all moved at that moment.And An Ruosi has no magic power in his body at this moment.

Without hesitation, he dragged his weak legs and ran backwards desperately.

But soon, a thick wall formed by tightly winding steel chains appeared in front of him.

At a cursory glance, he even thought it was a mechanism wall formed by countless sawtooths.

But An Ruosi showed an excited expression, and his pace was a little faster——

There is a way……

Although his blank mind hadn't thought of a specific solution, his body instinctively told him that "iron chains" could be easily broken by himself.

Absolutely shatterable——

An Ruosi ran towards the dead end, but the light of life shone in his eyes.

Never die—

At the last moment, An Ruosi's confused brain finally remembered the secret technique that Esther had taught him.

"Bastard ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—"

Howling in a hysterical hoarse voice, he stretched out his right hand forward.

The moment his hand touched it, countless steel chains shattered.Light poured in from outside.

……what.

Finally, saved.

An Ruosi forced a smile, fell into the soft and fragrant light, and lost consciousness.

------

"...Good boy, thank you for your hard work."

Esther accurately hugged An Ruosi, who fell unconscious and fell, and there was a long-lost apology on his always smiling face.

He gently put An Ruosi flat on the ground.Covered him with his coat.

Beside Esther, the ground was covered with broken chain fragments.

However, these chains are completely different from what An Ruosi saw in the illusion before.

They are made of platinum, with inexplicable and graceful arcs, and are covered with extremely tiny inscriptions in Celestial language.

It was a holy chain that would never be imagined by anyone who had never seen it once.

And in the very center of the room, someone who was bound in mid-air by countless chains fell to the ground, but was startled awake and opened his eyes.

"Ah, my friend, long time no see."

Esther looked down and gave a really gentle smile.

"...Ah, my friend, long time no see."

Someone who was stunned on the ground raised his head, and a hoarse voice came.
