84.【Shadow of Echoes】(1/2)
Two or three minutes ago.
In the original room of Mrs. Cat.
During the short period of Anle's departure, the team members' condition deteriorated sharply.
If under normal circumstances, they instinctively persist in the fog for longer.
But this strange situation is like a sharp knife that tear opens people's spiritual defense.
The white mist is like a group of greedy and sinister ants. After breaking a hole in their hard shell, they naturally flock to it. With the help of this spiritual flaw, they tear the wound step by step, and finally with fear and despair, they almost erode their healthy minds.
This is the same as "Intact eggs can be stored for a long time at room temperature, but if cracks appear on the eggshell, they will quickly deteriorate and smelly."
"We... will all die here, we will all die here..."
The mood of Asuka Tono is the worst among the people.
She is not an extraordinary person of the combat type and is not very brave. In the past few incidents, she mainly engaged in intelligence collection and analysis, and has seen many dangerous situations, but there are only a few experiences like this in a treacherous environment.
This led to her relatively mental fragility, not to mention that until the incident, she worked hard on part-time work without getting a good rest, which further deteriorated her mental state.
"Woooooooooo...we can't escape."
"Either starve to death or be eaten by the fog."
Asuka Tono murmured incoherently, her pale pretty face was covered with cold sweat, and her pupils were occupied by chaos.
Instead, Mitsuta kept his mind awake and tried hard to persuade: "Asukka, cheer up! Get up!"
"The more you are afraid, the more you will be affected by the power of the fog. Think about your younger brothers and sisters!"
Who knew that when talking about younger brothers and sisters, Asuka Tono's mood became increasingly broken.
"Why do I miss them? I've had enough! I've had enough!"
"I work hard every day, work harder, and risk my life in the Guards Department to do tasks, go to the bar in the evening and work as a waiter when I get home, and have to coax my youngest brother to sleep. The older ones are not obedient at all. They either cause trouble in school or go somewhere to fight..."
The petite Asuka wiping her tears while confiding.
"I also want to have a good rest every day, sleep for seven hours, eat delicious food, and I also want to have a relationship..."
"Why is it me? Why do I have to be my sister?"
Speaking of this, Asuka suddenly became stunned and murmured blankly.
“Ha...Haha..."
"It seems good to die like this? You no longer have to work hard to make money, and you no longer have to work so hard."
"Bang!"
Before Asuka's spirit further collapsed, Mitsuta knocked her out.
But this is just a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause. If you cannot solve the problem of [Mist Cores] or escape from here, as Asuka said, they will all die here.
Wu Yong, who was standing beside him, seemed to have given up treatment, squatted in the corner of the room, repeating the "Have you eaten?"
Chen Ye still maintained his rationality, but like him, he was at a loss about the situation.
As for Anle who left, he has not come back yet, and Guangta can't help but start to worry about his safety.
‘Damn it, it was this time!’
Guang is very uncomfortable. If he could use C-level power before the power of Ray disappeared, he might be able to break the deadlock violently, but now...
He only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Guangta subconsciously touched his waist, trying to take out the statue of Hui.
But as soon as he reached out his hand, he remembered that he was no longer a believer of Hui.
Suddenly, a thought, like a seed breaking out of the ground under the nourishment of the soil, emerged from the bottom of my heart: "Lord of Hui has abandoned me. If I pray to that god, can I get a response?"
‘If it were Him, I must have the power to break the fog, right?’
Guangta frowned and hesitated for a moment.
He vaguely felt that if he really did this, he would lose something very important and truly fall into the abyss.
but.
‘Aren’t I already in the abyss?’
Guangta smiled bitterly and made up his mind.
‘There is nothing to be afraid of!’
In this almost desperate situation, Guangtai can only place hope on Him.
So, it was like praying to Lord Hui before.
Guangtai closed his eyes, focused his energy, and said piously in his heart.
"Lord of Chaos All-knowing Lord, please protect me..."
Chen Ye, who was beside him, also had similar thoughts.
And the next second when the light prayed, the breath that was even more misty than the fog and deeper than the shadow surged around, like a violent and swift wind blowing, and finally came upon him.
At this time, Guangtai's body and even his soul seemed to no longer belong to him.
Then.
The light was too vaguely visible, and a phantom in black robe appeared in front of him.
The priest was peaceful, kind, and a little... hot?
Even though I could not see the other person's face clearly, I could read such emotions from my eyes.
Seeing the appearance of the priest, Guangtai was stunned for a moment and his mind was shocked.
‘Is there really a response?’
‘And, it’s too fast!’
Compared to the attitude that Lord Hui needs to coax and beg, the other party seems to value him particularly?
Guangtai felt even more awe in his heart, and he silently lowered his head and bowed his salute.
‘I heard your wish!’
The priest's voice rang directly into Guangtai's mind.
‘Close your eyes.’
‘Don’t listen, watch, think about it.’
‘You just need to wait, it’s enough.’
Guangtai, who was shocked by this miraculous situation, naturally did what he wanted and closed his eyes honestly.
So he didn't notice that a similar aura was overflowing from Chen Ye's body.
Chen Ye's eyes were also closed.
The gray tentacles emerged in the void and reached into their heads.
By the way, even the unconscious Asuka Touo and the dull Wu Yong were not spared.
But no one can find them.
Guangtai's thinking was particularly clear, and he could clearly feel that something dirty was being stripped from his spirit, and his consciousness was extremely comfortable, as if he was about to rise to the clouds.
*******
“Meow~~~”
The cat's meow echoed in the corridor.
Next second.
The roar suddenly sounded with the cracks of cement!
The entire apartment suddenly trembled.
In the space where people live, it seems that invisible glass appears like a spider-web-like crack, and then shatters inch by inch.
After a moment.
When the strange aura dissipated, the light opened his eyes in a daze.
He could clearly feel the sense of obstruction and closure in the space just now, and it had disappeared.
The light ran to the window and looked out.
The fresh air outside the window surged in, and the night and mist mixed together were clearly just ordinary night scenes, but the light at this time seemed so precious.

【Defiled and rational 28!】
On the dilapidated ground on the first floor, Anle nodded slightly.
‘The harvest is pretty good.’
