Rib Flower [Ability]

It also seemed that at this moment, he had finally surpassed the irreducible distance between him and this man.

Even if their lives ended at this moment, it would be a great harmony for the two to be buried here together.

He thought so contentedly, the moment he passed through the smoke, Sayero lifted him up vigorously, and threw him directly onto the spherical altar.Hero half-kneeled tacitly, shot a rope towards the entrance of the cave, and turned around to reach Sayaro, but in an instant, he saw the black ghost boys rushing towards Sayaro like a nest of locusts, and he missed his hand.At the same time, a huge force sucked him into the altar.With the sound of cracking stones, he fell backwards all at once.

Then he fell onto something soft.

A viscous sound came from below.

Countless sticky tentacles bound his body.

"Sayero!!"

With no time to pay attention to his own state, he raised his voice and looked out of the altar.

The infected gathered together like a group of hungry beasts, so that he couldn't see Sayero's condition, but he saw the ghost boys arguing and biting a severed arm.

A handful of metal wires used to strengthen bones hang from the bloody fracture of the arm, which is sparse, like a piece of torn rag.

Suddenly, as if receiving some signal, the infected spread out like birds and beasts, revealing a blood-soaked person on the ground—or it should be said that it was no longer a person.

Most of his body was missing, and half of his handsome face was gnawed off, his smoke-gray eyes stared blankly in his direction, and the remaining hand remained in the posture of sticking out towards him.

He Luo just glanced at it, as if struck by lightning, he struggled hysterically, his eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were clenched tightly, but he couldn't even shed a tear.

Is this a dream... this must be a nightmare.

Let me wake up, wake up!

He tore at the tentacles on his body, turned his head like a wild beast, and beat the ghost thing that bound him, but through the translucent texture of the thing, he saw at a glance that there was a human figure wrapped inside.

The face was his familiar Asian face.

It's Ando.

"No no no..."

This must be a ridiculous nightmare!Helo struggled violently, but at this moment, he saw Ando move from the transparent flesh under him, and slid out from the inside, and a pair of black wings grew out of his back, his body was naked, dangling Yoyo stood firm.

He stared at him, eyes ablaze with purple fire, a hand on his cheek.

But Helo had no time to pay attention to other things, and all his mind was focused on Sayero.The person he loved the most and the only one he loved in his life turned into a mutilated corpse.His soul seemed to be shattered into ashes, nothing mattered anymore, even Ando leaned down and kissed him indifferently.

"Ai Ling..."

His familiar voice called in a tone he was not unfamiliar with.

Helo stared blankly at Sayero's body, letting "Ando" unbutton his clothes and press his body up.All the infected people gathered around the altar, as if recreating the situation in the mural.He didn't know that this was a grand sacrifice to resurrect the "God of Creation".

A hand poked into his clothes, it was as cold as a python.

He shivered, looked at Ando blankly, his mind was in chaos.And at this moment, a voice sounded in his mind: "Don't be afraid, Helo, I'm here."

It was Sayero who was talking, and he wasn't sure it wasn't a hallucination that he was about to collapse, but he heard the voice continue: "Talk to him, try to delay the time, and don't let him notice my change."

Hero was shocked, and noticed that Sayero's mutilated corpse on the ground had grown bones and muscle tissue from the torn wound, and he was resurrecting.The dead thing in his chest seemed to be alive again, he stared at him with wide eyes, and those ghost boys pounced on him again, gnawing at Sayero's flesh and blood, like a vulture pecking at Prometheus.He suppressed the heart-piercing pain, looked at Ando, ​​and then realized that the person in front of him was not Ando, ​​but the man who called him "Ai Ling" Isaiah.

"You're not Ando...you occupied his body!"

"That's right, I'm not." Ando smiled eccentrically, he compared his temples, "Because you opened a hole in my brain, and I can't clone a new one in a short time. I have no choice but to borrow someone else's skin."

"Why is Ando here with you?" Herlo struggled a few times, but the tentacles entangled him tightly.

"I instigated him, and he was the one who brought you to me...Why, do you care about him? I thought you only had your brother in your eyes?" Isaiah frowned, with a strange look in his eyes.This tone made Helo smell a little familiar. He looked into the eyes of "Isaiah", as if he had spied a different thing from the bottom of his eyes.Whether it was an illusion or not, he felt that Ando had not been completely taken away by Isaiah, and he still existed in this body.

"Yes, of course I care. He is my important friend. Why... You should be very envious of the emotion of 'caring'. At least you haven't experienced it with Ai Ling, and you won't have it with me."

He stared into Isaiah's eyes, focused his attention, trying to find the crack that had invaded his brain, and sure enough, his words successfully aroused Isaiah's emotional fluctuations.He grabbed his neck, leaned down and tore off his pants, and squeezed a knee between his legs: "It's okay, when I give birth to a child with Ai Ling gene with you, I will sacrifice it to God, and God will give birth to you." Make my wish come true..."

madman.Hero thought in his heart, and the picture on the mural emerged again. Maybe what Isaiah said was not crazy, but imitating the actions depicted in the mural.

"What is your wish?" He locked Isaiah's eyes, and suddenly his eyes went dark, and when he opened them again, he had already come to another dimension.This space is viscous, dark, and full of bloody smell. The viscera-like inner wall is wriggling around his body, as if to swallow him up.

He knew he had successfully hacked into Isaiah's brain through his mind.

Here, maybe a way to kill Isaiah can be found, he thought to himself, but the fear of being transformed came back again, and the limp tentacles harassed his legs, seeming to penetrate him into his body, making him almost unsteady.But a pair of arms caught him just in time.

He turned his head, and Sayero stood behind him, gestured to him to silence him, and disappeared in an instant.Gathering up his courage again, Hero walked forward, calling Ando's name loudly. Suddenly, the fleshy inner wall squirmed, and a human figure was exposed.

A naked young Asian.

"Ando! Ando!" Hero called to him in a low voice, trying to pull him out, but half of Ando's body seemed to be melted and embedded in the inner wall of Isaiah's brain.

A bad thought filled Helo's brain, and Ando might have some kind of "fusion" with Isaiah, and there might be no way to wake up again.He patted his face, and saw Ando's eyelids tremble slightly, and slowly opened.

The moment he saw him, Ando showed an incredulous expression: "Hello? Why are you here?" Then he looked around in confusion, "I...where am I?"

"I'm in Isaiah's brain, or...in your brain, how about it, can you break free?" Helo supported his upper body.

Ando lowered his head and suddenly understood what was happening. He pushed Helo away: "Listen to me, Helo, I have no way to leave here. Isaiah brainwashed me and destroyed my consciousness. Now you see I'm just a part of my remaining thinking, not enough to compete with Isaiah..."

"No..." Hero's heart twitched. He looked at those long and slender eyes that always had a playful look, and suddenly realized that this friend who was playing tricks on him, making jokes that had no limit, but always tolerated him how important.Because he only looked at Sayero, he ignored too many people and too many things.

"But you can. While he was occupying me, I also knew the weakness in his thinking. If you go deep, you will see... a person who looks exactly like you, and treat him as not you."

"You mean Ai Ling?" Herlo frowned.

"You already know of his existence?" Ando was a little surprised, and smiled wryly again, "I thought he would hide it from you for the rest of his life. Then...maybe I still have a chance to sneak in."

Helo was dumbfounded: "You still have the mood to think about such things at this time!"

"God knows I spend my days here like years, but I just pass the time imagining how wonderful it would be to have sex with you." Ando curled his lips, and started to be mean again, "Hey. For the sake of my death, pick me up once kiss."

"You bastard..." Herlo grabbed his shoulders, and slowly loosened them again.

Gritting his teeth sadly, he lowered his head and blocked Ando's mouth.At this moment, the surrounding space shrank violently, and Ando suddenly pushed him away. He tried his best to support the inner walls on both sides that were approaching, and shouted at him: "Hurry up, find Isaiah!" Ai Ling in thinking!"

With raging heat in his eyes, Hero clenched his fists and rushed forward. In a space made up of dirty flesh and blood, he saw a glowing object. It was a person lying quietly on a In the dormant cabin.The master of his genes sleeps inside.

Even though Helo knew that this was not the real Ai Ling, but just an illusion that Isaiah imagined and lived in his thinking and memory, when facing the other party, he still felt at a loss for a while.

"Hey... Eileen?" He tapped on the glass, waiting for his eyes to open, but nothing happened.So he pressed the button to open the hatch, and Ai Ling fell from inside, and he caught it in time.

A series of groans weaker than breathing came from Herlo's ears, and he listened carefully several times before he could hear what Ai Ling was saying.He was saying "kill me".Helo suddenly felt a kind of creepiness—if this was Isaiah's imaginary Ai Ling, would he say such a thing?

"Eileen? Eileen? How long have you been stuck here? Can you hear me?" he asked tremblingly.

"25 years ago... when I died." Ai Ling murmured, his tone did not fluctuate, neither sad nor painful, as if he was just executing a simple program instruction.

Holo understood it all at once.This may be a remnant part of Eileen's consciousness that invaded the neo-Nazi army system, somehow preserved by Isaiah, and imprisoned in his own brain.This was probably the most appalling way of captivity he had ever heard of.

And the consciousness that belongs to Ai Ling in front of him may just be the spiritual pillar of Isaiah.

"Kill me. Set me free."

After answering his question, Ai Ling repeated it over and over again.

Helo released him carefully, holding his breath.He didn't dare to look at the face that was exactly the same as his, and he couldn't let go of this hand. When he was hesitating, a figure appeared in front of him.Sayero looked down at the people in the cabin, and suddenly, Ai Ling reached out and grabbed his wrist.

"Brother...is that you?"

He was wide open, his eyes were grayish blue, he couldn't see anything, it was just a remnant of consciousness, or some obsession.

"It's me, Ai Ling. What do you want to say to me?" Sayero bent down, stroked his eyelids, and put his head on his shoulders, "Just say what you want, I'm listening."

Holo stood aside, staring blankly at the pair of real brothers. He was both saddened by Ai Ling's experience and also a little panicked.He was afraid that Ai Ling would say something like "I love you", which would be enough to make his newly built confidence collapse in an instant, because Sayero's posture in front of him was too gentle.

"Don't trust William. I know he is like our father... But after hacking into the neo-Nazi system I found William's access records, his fingerprints and images. He is a member of the Neo-Nazi. I didn't have time to tell You, the high level of the United States has been gradually infiltrated, you have to leave the cia as soon as possible, hide your identity, disappear, and don't let them find you and use you."

"Our larger-than-life mission was a total hoax. Sadly, I was dead when I found out."

When he said this, Ai Ling's voice finally fluctuated, as if he had evolved from a simple program into a living person.

"I already know about William's deception. In fact, I have already noticed that something is wrong, but I have been unwilling to believe it, otherwise I will doubt whether the life of the previous 30 years is real." Sayero seemed to smile, hehe Luo felt palpitations.

Sayero hid his emotions so well from him that he didn't feel how painful Sayero must have been when he realized the truth.

Betrayed by a father-like existence, everything that he was born and died for was a deception.But in front of him, Sayero just brushed it off, just like treating that wound, as if he would not have any pain and fear about himself, and would always just show the most fearless and relaxed side in front of him.

This is probably the most hateful kindness of this man.

"So you see, I also have emotional mistakes. I am no longer a mission machine." Helo saw Sayero looking at him, as if he had made up his mind.

"I'm sorry, Ai Ling. At that time, I didn't choose to save you, nor did I keep my promise to you, let you look at this world again. But... I want to put you down. Can I?"

Helo stared blankly at Sayero asking the people in the cabin, like a solemn farewell from the living to the dead, maybe a bouquet of daisies and a tombstone are missing, but everything is not that important anymore.

Importantly, this farewell.

"It's okay, brother. It's just that I will still love you, just like loving the sky, loving the rain, loving the sea... loving all the beauty that has ever appeared in my life."

The blond youth stretched out his hand to caress Sayero's face, his body and the dormant capsule gradually disintegrated, decomposed into countless glowing particles, and finally left behind a smoky sigh.

"Sorry to leave you."

"Isaiah."

In the silent darkness, a mournful sound suddenly sounded, like the mournful cry of a wild beast, the surroundings shrank sharply, and cracks spread from the place where Ai Ling disappeared.
