Skadi was beside Ashes, her silver hair spread out in the sea water, shining with a slight silver light, and her red pupils were also bright.

They are still holding hands, there is no communication between the two, but they have a tacit understanding, swimming in the sea like fish.

But the strange thing is that this sea is too quiet.

There are no fish swimming, no seaweed growing, no sea cats... Cough, in short, the place is too quiet and too empty.

There was nothing in the huge sea water, it was dead silent.

Where is the food that Anita said she picked up on the shore?

There was nothing to gain, and the two were about to return to the sea, but in this silent emptiness, a voice suddenly sounded.

"...of..hunting... towards"

"...good hunter...to...."

The voice gradually changed from indistinct to clear, Ashes heard more and more, but when he turned his head to look, Skadi was as usual.

"Come, good hunter, to the meeting place."

He finally heard it clearly, and the voice echoing in his head disappeared, replaced by a sudden light spot in the bottomless sea below.

It exudes a faint blue-purple light, but penetrates the barrier of the dark and oppressive sea water and is reflected in the eyes of the two, like a guiding light, urging them to go.

Looking at each other, they both read affirmation from each other's eyes. Skadi and Ashes stagnated, then turned over gracefully and fell downward.

As the dive deepened, the pressure from the sea water in all directions continued to squeeze towards the two of them.

But Skadi, who is originally Agor, seems to be coming home in the sea, brisk and carefree.And Ashes who used the power of runes has also fully adapted to the deep sea environment, these pressures are just drizzle to them.

Getting closer, getting closer.

The light became clearer, and they were able to see its true body clearly.

It was a hunter's lantern that was emitting blue-purple light continuously on the bottom of the sea, and it was exactly the same as the one that Ashes hung on his waist.

But in particular, it is not fixed to the ground and hung up like the lanterns Ashes used before. This lantern presents a strange upside-down posture. Its head faces the bottom of the sea, but its bottom faces the sea surface.

The somewhat hazy light flickered, as if urging Ashes to touch it.

What next?Want to touch the lantern?

Ashes looked at Skadi, but found that she was also looking at him.

She tightened the strap of the box in her hand, and also tightened Ashes' hand.The body temperature of the two intertwined here, which also showed her determination.

If danger comes, resist it, and if you can't change it, seek help.

They once made an agreement on the bridge to advance and retreat together, but now, how can there be any reason for her to let Hui Hui go to the unknown alone?

Looking into Skadi's eyes, Ashes also smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and snapped his fingers in front of the lantern.

"Pong-"

The blue-purple light soared, turning into an illusory flame that enveloped the two of them, and the seabed returned to silence again.

--------

In the dilapidated house, there was a big hole in the ceiling, and the few lights shone through it and sprinkled in this house.

This place is very old, and most of the accumulated items have been damaged, exuding a musty smell.

But there is a chair in the middle of the house, which is classical and elegant, which is incompatible with the environment here.

And there was a person sitting on the chair, her face was beautiful, and her silver hair was combed meticulously.He was wearing a brown and red Gothic costume, with a bright red silk scarf hanging around his neck.

The light from outside the room shone on her body through the misty smoke, making her skin that was not human-like even paler.

Her knuckle-like hands folded on her lower abdomen like a puppet, her expression was serene, with a tiny smile on her face.

Who is she waiting for?

no one knows.

--------

The illusory flames dissipated.

The blurred scene in front of them gradually became clear, and the sense of detachment disappeared as if separated by a layer of glass. With the feeling of being down-to-earth, Ashes and Skadi found themselves back on the land again.

It's just that this isn't Saltwind City anymore, or rather, it isn't even Terra anymore.

The soaring floors are stacked on top of each other, connected by a staircase in the center.Intricate and exquisite patterns are everywhere, but most of them are faded and stained with blood.

The two are now in the same building, the faint light from each floor reflects them, strange sounds that seem to be absent linger in their ears, and there is a disgusting smell in the air.

Picking up the fragments of memory again, Ashes recognized this place.

Hunter's Nightmare - Research Building.

"Where is this place?"

Skadi took two steps, and the boots and floor tiles made a kicking sound.She looked up at the high floor, and there seemed to be something on the top.

"...the research building, or rather, the ward."

Ashes naturally knew about this place, this place is where evil gathers, where pain and torture coexist.

"Is this where you fought? What do we have to do to get out?"

Skadi asked, tightening the straps around her hands.

"Didn't you already say that?"

"Fight, move forward, those who block us, destroy."

"it is good."

After all, he was still a foolish and foolish person, and Skadi didn't procrastinate. The box in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and kicked away the box that had condensed the efforts of Rhodes Island's engineering department.

A large sword was lying quietly inside, with a black blade, heavy weight, and the abbreviation SK, that was her name, Skadi.

Bending down to pick up the big sword, Skadi skillfully put it on her shoulders, but because she changed her clothes, she was no longer the bounty hunter outfit, so she adjusted her posture slightly uncomfortable, so that the pressure on her The straps on the snow-white shoulders were changed.

Old Jose, you still understand this aspect!

Seeing Skadi's ready appearance, Ashes also shrugged, he had already crossed once, and now it's just doing it again.

A meat saw, Evelyn, that's his go-to match.

"Let's go, the things ahead may exceed your imagination, be careful not to spit it out."

"Hmph, no."

With a rather cute snort, Skadi turned her head away.

Ashes could only sigh helplessly about this, and walked forward to lead the way, his complexion also sank.

What he said was not an exaggeration.

The things in front are really disgusting to the extreme.

Suddenly, a bell seemed to ring.

long... long...

The long singing sounded, and the clear singing voice sang, pouring out the boundless loneliness.

It was a sad song.

Chapter 168 Don't Look, Don't Listen, Don't Talk

When the azure color is full and the sky and the sea are completely integrated, if you look up, can you see the stars in the sky?

------

"guu—"

"waa—"

Uncomfortable sounds are everywhere, lingering in your ears like annoying flies.

Skadi's expression was not very good-looking, and she carefully walked around a corpse in front of her.

Originally, she didn't care about this kind of thing, but this mass of things that had lost their vitality and limp on the ground really made her not want to get close.

Judging from the appearance, it should be a person, the limbs are already emaciated, and only a layer of skin is left covering the bones.

He was wearing a slightly tight white hospital gown with straps that had been broken off, and his gender could no longer be seen.

If that's all, it wouldn't make Skadi feel uncomfortable, but the abnormality of its head made Skadi, a seasoned deep-sea hunter, a little sick to his stomach.

It is a bit inaccurate to say that it is the head, a bag was put on the neck, and the mouth was tightly tied.

And its head has swelled, and the blood seeping from the inside stained the bag. What's even more disgusting is that it is still wriggling, as if there is a living thing inside.

This is the research building, the people in this ward, or can they still be called people?

Ashes didn't care, he had seen much more than this disgusting thing.He opened the way ahead, whenever these guys who were either manic or quiet rushed towards the two of them, Ashes could always easily wipe them out.

The quicksilver bullet in Evelyn's body exploded, followed by the sawing knife.The sharp blades directly split these aliens in half from head to tail, splashing out large swathes of black blood.

After glancing at the patients who had been chopped into two pieces, Ashes greeted Skadi.She didn't care about other things, and stepped forward quickly, the dirty blood stained her white short boots.

"what are these?"

Skadi asked, and at the same time saw half of the corpse on the ground, the cross-section of the abnormally swollen head still squirming.

"If it's identity, then they are patients, after all, this is a ward."

"But if it is about their existence, it is a manifestation of evil, because this is also a research building."

Ashes didn't look back, but killed the demented patients in front very efficiently.

Skadi followed behind him, trying not to look at the horror of the corpses.

Suddenly, a burst of words came, it was not a meaningless roar, but a word with continuous words, echoing in this somewhat empty floor.

"Someone... talking?"

"Well, do you want to take a look?"

Ashes knew who was talking, and the two of them went down the stairs, all the way to the bottom, where there was a pool-like place filled with blue-gray corrosive liquid.
