Chapter 1409 Listening Between Life and Death

When Maca asked about the curse of the plague on the second floor, but did not get the answer he wanted, at most two or three minutes later, he jumped down from the broken stairs alone. .

As for what happened upstairs after that, no one knows.

Well, no one knows for sure, at least for the time being.

"Well?"

As soon as he landed, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly he turned his head and glanced at the pile of rocks. And it was this glance that finally allowed him to see clearly who the figure lying on the floor was.

"Is it... Ron?"

Immediately, he subconsciously checked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one else around, he walked over the bricks and stone chips on the ground.

On weekdays, Ron is still easy to recognize, even if it's just from the back. In other words, the members of their Weasley family are actually very recognizable.

Because they both have their signature red hair.

But now, because Ron's head had just experienced the baptism of an explosion, it had already turned into a scorched black mass, which made Maca unable to distinguish it immediately even when he looked at it from a distance.

It wasn't until he got close and saw the magic wand that had fallen in his hand that Maca finally realized who this person who seemed to have no signs of life was.

The next moment, I saw Maca leaning over, frowning slightly and turning the other side over.

"..."

Maca looked at the face whose original face could no longer be recognized, and just squatted beside him and stopped his movements. Looking at his expressionless face, he didn't know what he was thinking.

But just at this moment, he suddenly felt a sudden tightening in his heart, as if something had grabbed the depths of his soul.

"hiss"

He gritted his teeth, took a light breath, then stood up and turned his head to look behind him.

"...Herbo."

...

Ron didn't know when he lost consciousness, nor when he regained consciousness.

he only knows,

I just feel pain all over my body now.

Especially between the whole head and neck, the burning pain was mixed with an itching that went deep into the bone marrow for some reason.

However, he couldn't move at all, and couldn't even lift his eyelids, as if he had lost control of his body.

And just like this, a few minutes passed... well, maybe ten minutes, or even half an hour. Because in the unparalleled pain and itching, he could no longer make a more accurate judgment on time.

But after such a period of time, a very vague conversation suddenly sounded in his ears, which were still deaf.

is anyone around here? One... no, two people!

"Come and save me! No matter who it is, come and help me! This kind of pain and itching... is simply unbearable, it is too painful."

He screamed mentally, but couldn't speak.

In fact, it’s okay to say that you can’t speak. But for some reason, he can't even breathe, he can't even feel his heartbeat, but he still seems to be alive. The reason why he uses the word "seemingly" is because even he himself is not sure whether he is still alive or not. live.

"Yes, I remember...I fell down the broken and collapsed stairs, and...then I was hit directly in the head by a blast spell from the black wizard?"

The two hazy conversations were still echoing in his ears, because he could hardly hear them clearly, so he didn't bother to listen any more. And because the pain was unbearable, he tried to find something to think about, hoping to distract himself and relieve the pain.

But the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"Wait, so I am indeed dead?"

No one could face an explosive spell without defense, not even someone as strong as Maca. So it stands to reason that he has no possibility of survival.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and then he suddenly pondered again:

"Then... since I can regain consciousness, it means that I will also become a ghost like 'Almost Headless Nick'? Well, I forgot to ask him, the process of becoming a ghost is so painful ?"

However, just as he was thinking wildly, the pain in his head seemed to have gradually eased a lot unconsciously. It's a pity that the terrible itching still persists, and it becomes even more unbearable after the pain is reduced.

But at the same time, Ron suddenly discovered that the voice of the conversation lingering in his ears had also changed from hazy to clear. Not long after, he finally heard a sentence clearly:

"...I can't hold back here any longer. You go back immediately and take at least one person with you. As for who to choose to take away, you must know better than me."

"'Can't hold back'? 'Take at least one person'? Who is this person speaking? Who is talking to him? What does this all mean?"

To be honest, Ron understood that sentence clearly. But the problem is that he can hear every word clearly, but when these words are arranged together to form a sentence, he can't understand at all.

But there is no need to worry, because the next moment, he heard another person's voice.

"It's not difficult to take someone away, but... are you sure you want me to give up everything in front of me now and leave here?" the voice said, "Is there no way to delay it for a while?"

Ron listened silently, but the more he listened, the more wrong he became. After a moment of careful discrimination, he finally understood where the "something wrong" in his heart came from.

"That's Maca! It's Maca's voice, absolutely right!"

Once this thought surfaced in his mind, the more Ron listened, the more he felt that his judgment was accurate. But who is Maca talking to? Who did the other party want him to take away?

Just as his heart was gradually filled with doubts, the dialogue continued:

"No, it won't last long. Before I really control this body, if that guy wants to leave, I can't stop him."

"I understand, I'll go back to the camp to do it after I finish talking to you!" Na Maka's voice said immediately, "Then, Haierbo, do you have anything else to say?"

Herbo? Why... no, it should be "how is it possible"?

As far as the conversation between the two is concerned, no matter how stupid Ron is, he can still hear the harmony in it. And... Is there any "deal" between the two of them?

But if there is no answer, Ron can't even open his eyes, so naturally it is impossible to confirm the identity of the two.

"This...whether it's me or the conversation between Maca and Haierbo, what's going on?"
