7. The Forsaken(1/2)
pain!
Indescribable pain filled Merlin's body and will that had just become relaxed.
It was like a ball of fire in his body was ignited, and under his skin, the scorching light was appearing. It was like a fire snake wandering in his body.
Widths of white smoke emanated from his nostrils, mouth and ears. He was like a pile of firewood, between the splashes of Mars, and perhaps the next moment, he would be completely ignited.
"Bang"
Lora's car door was pushed open, and Merlin staggered to the ground in the intense beat of Mikeson's new song. The pain rolling in his body and will was like waves of tides, and in the extreme and vivid twisted pain, he fell like he had lost the ability to walk upright.
It was like a fish that was free from water, and his body was struggling with convulsions. He breathed hard, but he couldn't even breathe a trace of air into his lungs. All the organs inside the body seemed to be filled with the burning magic power that gushed out.
The upsurge of physical pain can only make Meilin worse than death, but the drastic changes that are taking place in the soul can make Meilin doomed.
His soul is being torn apart!
This is not a description, but a fact that is happening.
It was like there were invisible hands holding on both sides of his soul.
Amid the violent scorching force, the claws that held the soul were pulling the gods wildly outwards, as if they were tore his soul apart and tore it apart, completely annihilated his existence.
"ah!"
Merlin held his hair tightly with his hands, and he raised his head and smashed it to the ground, trying to relieve his mental torture with this external pain.
"Bang"
"Bang"
Two heavy blows made Meilin's forehead flow blood. He raised his head on the third day, but
"Click"
Accompanied by a low tearing sound, Merlin's eyes, whose head raised, suddenly lost their luster at this moment.
His body was still intact and began to cool down quickly, just like a hot stone being thrown into cold water. A stream of white smoke lingered in his body, but within his body, the soul carried by the body had been broken by the impact of the power released by the three palace demons.
The singing behind him became more and more low, like the final tone.
"Bang"
Merlin's godless body hit the wilderness.
As the Three Palace Demon said, it would rather destroy this strange soul than let others get it.
A cool night wind blew, and Meilin's black hair was blown up, just like the weeds on the ground, but he could no longer respond to the gentle wind.
He is dead—
The big guys sitting at the gambling table watched the scene, and no one made a sound, which meant that no one wanted to express their opinions at this time.
The big guy with a strange bracelet took off the cigar from his mouth, and he looked at the man opposite the gambling table.
Those who are watched by the boss are naturally also the boss.
And this person's dress is a bit strange.
His whole body was shrouded in a black robe, and there was a black eye mask on his left eye. There was no change in his icy blue eyes in the other eye, only a trace of dead silence like ice and snow.
"Old Dawn Blade, it's your turn."
A voice like a referee sounded at this moment:
"The 'Demon' round sequence is stagnant, entering the first sequence of the 'Lucky' round. Please prepare for the next round of rolls, or abandon."
"Um."
The boss wearing a blindfold nodded. He looked at the picture and said:
"Only by eliminating the illusory dust can true knowledge be revealed. This story finally became interesting."
The boss turned his head and looked at the recorder sitting at the gambling table. He asked:
"So, what name are you going to give this story?"
Faced with this inquiry, the recorder shrugged and replied in a gentle tone:
"Surviving death, something must be left behind. He died of his soul's brokenness, and he was truly reborn because of this. But everything in the past is the same as in the past life, he is."
"Well, Forgotten."
The big guy smoking a cigar waved his finger, interrupting the literary conversation between them, and said impatiently:
"Then let him get up quickly."
"It was very uncomfortable to lie alone on the grass in the middle of the night."—
"Buzz"
Merlin is like having a long dream, but as long as it is a dream, there will be moments of awakening.
At the moment of dawn, he suddenly opened his eyes. As a result, using the headlight next to him, he saw a groundhog crawling out of his hole in front of him, looking at him curiously, as if he was watching a collapsed giant.
And the moment Merlin opened his eyes, the groundhog was frightened, and swept back to his crypt, hiding in the dark, trembling, fearing that the awakened giant would come to trouble it.
Actually, there isn't.
Merlin climbed up from the ground weakly. His head was dizzy, as if he was hit by Tyson in the head. He seriously suspected that he might have the sequelae of concussion because everything he saw now was a ghost.
It's like high myopia.
Merlin sat in Lora's driver's seat with difficulty. He closed his eyes, rubbed his head, and shook his head from time to time, trying to alleviate the symptoms of heavy shadows.
The good news is that his vision is recovering quickly.
The bad news is that the death scene I encountered in the dream just now does not seem to be illusory.
Meilin lowered his head, and in a vague way, he could see his clothes soaked with sensational blood, and there were some murmurs in his ears from time to time, as if more than a dozen people were talking together, making it difficult for him to calm down and even more unable to think.
Merlin only remembered that he had suffered a terrifying incident just now, and the demon's contract eventually broke out. He was almost killed by it, but he seemed to have survived it?
Did that demon show mercy?
No, unlikely.
Merlin rubbed his forehead and cleared some of the blood scabs in his hair. He sat in the car for more than ten minutes until dawn was approaching that Merlin's vision had almost recovered, but there was still a faint ghost when he was looking at things.
It was at this moment that Merlin discovered something strange in the rearview mirror.
His eyes.
There was a dark red light spot in the black eyes. Although it was very weak, it looked like the human form of the Three Palace Demon that he had witnessed three days ago. There was such a flame in the demon's eyes.
Although the contract was not clear about what happened, it seemed to have taken effect, at least part of it.
"What the hell is going on?"
Merlin stretched his eyes with his fingers, and he looked carefully in the rearview mirror with the light of Lora's car light. When his eyes widened, the red spots of light would also increase, but it seemed that there was no other effect except for visual effects.
This discovery made Merlin feel a little palpitations, and he guessed that he might not have completely escaped the influence of the contract.
Maybe this is just a sign, and there will be more serious sequelae in the future.
And as time goes by, when Merlin was thinking about it, dawn finally came. The first ray of light pierced through the darkness, shining on this wilderness like a curtain of light opened.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Merlin always felt that the sunshine today was very dazzling, and even made him feel a little uncomfortable. Just like the afternoon sunshine, the slight anxiety made Merlin unable to help but take out a half-old cowboy hat and James’s sunglasses from Lora’s trunk and buckle it on his head, and then he felt more comfortable.
"Go back first, mom and Phil should be worried."
Merlin started the car again and rushed back to the farm. Although it had been sold, the agency gave the Colson family half a month to pack up.
Merlin changed into a dress in the room and drove to the hospital.
But he was in a bad luck today.
There were long red lights along the way, and when crossing the intersection, I almost ran into an old man who came out for a walk with a cane. He was scolded by the fierce old man for several minutes.
When they were about to arrive at the hospital, Merlin's car window was accompanied by some disgusting "gifts" from her hated birds.
When Merlin got off the car, his feet slipped and hit the railing in the parking lot again, and his head was almost pierced.
When he went upstairs, he knocked down another doctor who was in a hurry, causing him to almost fall from the third floor.
I wanted to drink water, but I encountered a short circuit in the wire.
All of this reminds Merlin of the name of a novel he read with Phil when he was bored, which seemed to be called "The God of Death".
"This must be just a psychological effect."
Merlin comforted himself like this, and he walked out of the elevator and walked carefully to James' ward. He tried to calm himself down, and he didn't want to worry his family.
"Phil!"
Merlin saw Phil resting on a chair outside the ward from a distance. His younger brother, Merlin took off his hat and hesitated for a moment, but did not take off his sunglasses immediately.
He shouted Phil's name and walked to him.
The young man was tired all night and suddenly woke up, he would definitely not have a good tone. He raised his head and stared at Meilin wearing sunglasses in front of him. He said impatiently in the tone of the young man:
"Who are you? How do you know my name?"
"?"
