animal ears

?flame……

Rarely seen, the flames under the night are dim yellow, beating, and swaying constantly, like devil's claws.

The hazy color, looking at the lamp in a trance, seems to be in a dream, but the consciousness is clearly awake, the dark night, the sound of the wind leaking through the gaps in the ears, and the leaves flapping the branches, become so clear.

I moved my fingers that regained consciousness, and the pain gradually penetrated into every inch of my skin, a bone-piercing pain.

...alive.

Alive, but incomparably at a loss.

So I just kept my eyes open, and over time, I suddenly became panicked.

Too quiet.

As quiet as death, he felt that he couldn't hear anything, was alone, floating like a ghost, floating in the air, and then became colder and colder.

So he stretched out his hand and waved it desperately in the air, as if trying to grab something.

But was gently grasped.

The cold fingers and gentle movements unexpectedly made him feel at ease, but the hand that grabbed him was different from what he expected... What was the difference?

Guessing, but he still let out a slight cry.

The weak call of the beast.

There was a sigh in the silent air, and then someone stroked his forehead, and then his back.

Gentle sigh.

Is it Ley?

No, it's not.

These hands are very cold, but now he can't take care of that much. He was hurt too badly, and he just wanted to find a warm place to rest, so he continued to curl up next to the other party and closed his eyes. The night was so silent, the wind was blowing Gentle, someone whispering in my ear accompanied me into dreamland.

Just like this, I woke up vaguely like a dream, like a dream but not a dream, until I remembered the last bloody smile at a certain moment, and I suddenly woke up.

Same room, same morning.

"You're awake." Sara walked over quietly, stood beside Cole, lowered the corners of her eyes, looked carefully for a while, and said with a half-smile, "It seems that the injury has healed a lot, and you can sit up now." .”

Light tone.

hurt?

As soon as Sarah finished speaking, there was a sharp pain in her chest and abdomen, and the palms wrapped in thick bandages were so painful that she almost lost consciousness. Cole couldn't help but arched his body and hugged himself. Although the wound had scabbed over, the severe pain The movement still made the wound slightly open, and the pain made his forehead sweat. At this moment, Cole also remembered the reason for his injury.

"You saved me?" Cole gasped.

With a faint light in her eyes, Sarah sat down beside her and said, "Occasionally, I do meddle in my own business."

But he cared more about Ley, so he immediately raised his head and asked, "Where is Ley?"

"It was taken away."

"Taken away?" Cole yelled, "Took away by who?"

The big movement irritated the wound again, causing him to lie down straight on his back in pain, sweating profusely. Sarah glanced at Cole silently, sighed and said, "When I arrived, you were attacking those orcs crazily, and you finally managed to control it." You, they took the kid."

"What?!" Hearing this, Cole's eyes widened, his fingers desperately grabbed the edge of the bed despite the severe pain, trying to get up.

Sarah's face darkened immediately, and he pressed Cole's shoulder very hard, then lowered his head and said coldly: "What are you going to do?"

"Go save Ley." Cole struggled, trying to push Sarah away like crazy.

"Save him?" Sneered, "Do you know who they are? Where are they?"

Cole shook his head, raised his head and gritted his teeth: "But I can't sit still, Ley...he was seriously injured."

"You can save him just because of your appearance?" Smiling, Sarah glanced at Cole coldly, and let go quickly, "Okay, if you have the strength to get out of this door."

mocking sneer.

Without saying a word, Cole rolled out of the bed. The wound on his abdomen throbbed instantly, and his palms also hurt so that his forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he still forced himself to get up, even if he crawled, he still wanted to get out.

He wants to save Ley.

That fool, who had a high fever and wanted to save himself, fell into a pool of blood... unconscious, Cole was very frightened, he didn't know the intention of those people to take Lie away, but what is certain is that they aimed at him He came because he got Ley in trouble.

He was really, really terrified...afraid Rye would just die.

Thinking of those golden pupils falling into silence forever, my mind would be so empty, my heart would be wrenched in pain, and my whole body would tremble, which hurt more than all the wounds combined.

It is undeniable that I have a heart for Ley.

Perhaps it was from the moment I saw him for the first time when I woke up, I was attracted by the gentle smile in the corner of his eyes.

A light halo, warm and beautiful.

Although there are still many things that I don't understand, even though Ley seems to be hiding something all the time, it doesn't matter, because I can feel his sincerity. If you don't show love, then how stupid you must be!

But I have no strength.

Although I have been working hard, my body has no strength, not even the strength to stand up.

Just like crap.

Sarah watched quietly from the side, neither dissuading nor helping, maybe he was laughing at himself, Cole thought, so he didn't want to look up, and he didn't want to cry or show weakness in front of Sarah, he bit his teeth Lips, move the body step by step, the door is in front of you, there is no reason to give up, but every step you move, the helplessness and despair accompanied by body pain become more intense-even if you reach the door, so what?

Like Sara said, he didn't know who those people were or where Rye was being taken.

damn it!

Why... can't remember anything.

Who are you?What have you done?

Waves of questions surged in my mind, but the only person who knew the answer was not by my side.

Suddenly, a pair of arms embraced her trembling self from behind, and then resettled herself back on the bed. Faced with the slumped Cole, Sara sighed softly, and said slowly, "Since they came after you, take him away." That child is also trying to catch your weakness and lure you into a trap, so at least that child is safe until he sees you again."

"Why are you so sure?" Cole asked, looking over silently, expressionless, "Do you know something?"

Pale face, red eyes reflected, quiet and deep eyes.

"Seven years ago, why did I go crazy." Cole said quietly, as if he had confirmed that Sarah knew about it.

"you……"

"I want to know." Cole whispered with chapped lips.

There was a glimmer of light in the purple pupils, Sarah looked at Cole, paused, looked away, sat down beside her, and said slowly, "Because you belong to the Beast Ear Clan."

"Beast ear clan?" Cole opened his eyes, expressing his confusion.

Then, Sara bent down, smiled with lowered eyebrows, and immediately grabbed Cole's hand, brought it to her chest, and touched the mark on her chest, "Yes, you are a member of the Orc Ear tribe, my tribe."

Shocked, he looked down at the mark on Sarah's chest, the color seemed to be darker than what he saw before.

"You have the purest blood of the beast-ear clan flowing through your body, but because you once forcibly suppressed the power of the beast blood, you were backlashed by the power and lost yourself, leaving only instinct." Sara smiled faintly.

"Strength backfires...losing myself..." Cole fell into a daze as he muttered these two words alone.

"I am here to bring you back." Sara said.

"Go back?" Hearing Sarah's words, Cole was stunned. After a while, he withdrew his hand and shook his head, "I won't go back, I'm going to find Ley."

Sarah sneered: "Find him and continue to hurt him?"

Frowning, Cole looked back at Sarah, lowered his voice, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?"

Smiling, Sarah grabbed Cole's hand, looked carefully, and said, "Don't you have any memory at all?" Before Cole could answer, she slowly put it down, closed her eyes and smiled, "I thought it hurt you He, you will be conscious."

hurt him?

After laughing, facing Cole's surprised gaze, Sarah stood up and said in a low voice, "Do you know why he doesn't want to transform into a beast?"

The backlit figure is very dazzling.

"Because he can tell at a glance who hurt him after turning into a beast, so he is unwilling to change."

Heart slightly!Suddenly, Cole opened his mouth in disbelief: "Could it be me..."

"It's you." Sarah raised her eyes, put down Cole's hand, turned to caress Cole's cheek, and said with a gentle and cruel smile, "His injury was caused by you."

"I hurt him?" trembling voice.

"Yes." Nodding in confirmation, the purple pupils reflected Cole's dazed expression, "You hurt him yourself, when you were unconscious."

Lowering his head in shock, Cole looked at his hands, his mind buzzing.

"How could it be...it's me..."

That's why Ley insisted on refusing to turn into a beast, and didn't say anything, so...that day he drove Sarah away like crazy?

Slender fingertips pointed at Cole's hand, Sarah raised her lips, and said quietly: "Otherwise, who else?" The almost mocking tone made Cole's back feel cold for a moment, but Sarah didn't intend to stop, he continued to say , "Do you always sleep drowsily until the afternoon before waking up?"

Cole was taken aback.

"That's because he is hypnotizing you. One is to calm your mind, and the other is that the moonshine tree oil he uses has a short-term amnesia effect. He really worked hard. In order not to stimulate you, he They all went to patrol the vicinity to eliminate all unstable factors for you, ah, those people who followed you, but sometimes the beast blood in your body would still run away without warning... At this time, he had to stop the unsuspecting Reason you."

Sarah's words made Cole's heart ache as if he had been stabbed by Maiman.

No, besides the pain, there is also guilt, hurting others, especially Ley, the pain is simply indescribable, and that fool didn't say a word, but secretly protected himself like this.

Thinking of Ley's weak smile, Cole trembled all over.

He was angry, he was angry with himself, very angry, so angry that he wanted to kill himself.

However, his hand was grabbed by Sarah, who was surprisingly strong. Cole looked at Sarah with red eyes, gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Let me go."

"Do you think you can make up for anything by hurting yourself?" Seeing through Cole's thoughts, Sarah said unhurriedly, "No, nothing can be made up for."

After clenching his fist, after a while, Cole calmed down, faced Sarah, and asked dejectedly, "What should I do?"

"Come with me," Sarah said.

"Go with you?"

The four eyes met, and Sara's eyes were very powerful. He looked straight at the red pupils that ordinary people dare not look directly at, and said calmly: "Your strength is not completely stable yet, and the berserk blood in your body is easily overwhelmed by the smell of blood." Ignition, if you continue, you will lose yourself completely sooner or later, so I will take you back and complete the ritual of complete animalization in the beast ear clan. After you are completely animalized, you will be able to fully control those powers, and then go to save him .”

"Complete animalization?" Cole didn't understand this.

"Because the beast ears are all females when they are born, they can become real beastmen only after going through the beastification ceremony, otherwise they will go crazy and die because they can't control their own power." Sara spoke very clearly. After finishing speaking, he slowly Release Cole slowly.

Cole stared blankly at Sarah for a while, then asked, "Then what should he do?"

"As I said, he will not be in danger. If you are worried, I can also send someone to help you track down the whereabouts of the child," Sarah said, "It depends on whether you believe me or not."

Would you like to trust Sarah?

Cole didn't know either.

Sara didn't seem to be kind enough to help her, but... he didn't seem to be malicious for the time being.

Besides, I can only rely on Lhasa now.

After a long silence, he nodded and said, "Please, Sarah."

"You don't have to thank me so quickly." Interrupting Cole's thanks, Sarah covered Cole's lips with her index finger, shook her head, raised her eyes and let out a sneer, and after laughing, his eyes suddenly turned cold, as if In the deep pool that cannot be melted, the purple eyes flashed with an unignorable chill, "I am not a good person, I hope you recognize this from the beginning."

One moment she was talking and laughing at Yanyan, the next moment she was full of murderous looks, Sarah was really unpredictable.

Cole didn't want to make this dangerous female angry unnecessarily.

In fact, I don't completely believe Sarah's words, but what he said is indeed reasonable. I am the most aware of the changes in my body. He has long been aware of that uncontrollable force. , actually hurt Ley.

Cole blamed himself very much.

For Ley, he must restrain this force, and at the same time, his body also needs a period of rest, but he still can't figure out Sarah's purpose. ?
