Chapter 538

Just hearing its sound makes consciousness collapse.

Any attempt to convey information is in vain. The gap in life forms and levels between the two parties is too great. It cannot understand what it expresses as a human being, and it cannot bear the unreasonable [love] of the other party. , you will only be completely crushed yourself.

Even though he could feel it, the other party seemed to be deliberately slowing down his power and treating himself as carefully as possible to prevent himself from having a mental breakdown and dissipating to death. But the level difference between the two parties has reached an irreparable level. Now that I can barely retain a certain degree of consciousness, I am already close to the limit. It is probably impossible to do anything else, unless... there is some way to make myself and the outside world... again...

Wu... no... we can't go on like this... we can't let the master...

If this continues... I will...

I can't...I can't...

I'm...morning...

I……

…

Even self-awareness can no longer survive.

The thin bloody vines wrapped themselves around the girl's body in layers, blending into her flesh.

The blood-red flower bloomed, and the flower core opened like a mouth, while the vines lifted the girl's body and lowered it gently, as if placing a fragile object inside.

The flowers are gently wrapped.

The flesh dissolved and was replaced by bloody vines.

The bones turned into water-like liquid, which was completely absorbed by flowers and vines, and was carefully stored.

In the end, even the consciousness and soul were completely swallowed, leaving no trace of residue in the real world and completely erasing all existence.

And the self that the girl tried so hard to maintain was completely unable to survive at this time, and finally reached the edge of collapse. Even though He had treated her as carefully as possible, like a giant carefully carving glass ants, she still had no way to stop. Maintain the original posture.

Of course, she won't die.

His [love] means that He will never kill any living beings. He just integrates these living beings with Himself, allows them to continue to exist in His body, and gives them eternal happiness and warmth. Therefore, all the lives swallowed up by Him will survive forever, continue to exist in His world in a state of being broken and almost impossible to condense into shape, and are endowed with the ability to feel nothing but beauty. In essence, they have already There is no permanent state of thinking faculty.

...I don’t want to disappear like this.

...At the end of his consciousness, he could clearly feel the process of being engulfed.

...The dissolution from skin to flesh to bones...a terrifying process like being digested bit by bit...This irresistible nightmare is getting deeper and deeper, with no end in sight, and even the ability to realize that one is in a nightmare I am about to lose it, and there is no longer any trace of myself.

...Where is the master now... He is also being hunted. The real target of this thing has always been the master.

... He seemed to think that the master was very special, very special... He caught me because the master showed that he cared about me. Is it for this reason?

...what should I... do...I...I...

…

"Little love!"

The call was heard.

Anxious, weak, the voice came towards me from a place that seemed very close, but also seemed very far away.

That was when Gao Hai returned to the area of ​​[Lijiacun] and returned to this now deserted place.

The blood-red key was put back into the space of the black watch. In the door behind him that has not yet been completely closed, you can still see the bloody flowers spreading wantonly in [Zhangjiacun], and see the other party's crazily extending direction towards this side. Blood-red vines.

Bang!

Gao Hai closed the door hard, only to find that the space connected to the door was not disconnected. Under normal circumstances, after pulling out the blood key and closing the door, it stands to reason that the space linked by the obsession should be disconnected and should return to its normal state. But now, even if the door is closed, Gao Hai can still feel the bloody vines approaching quickly behind the door, and feel the breath of the thing that is chasing him and never gives up.

Can that thing directly fix the space channel connected by the obsession? Or does it mean that He doesn't need to do anything at all, and just existing there will cause abnormal changes in the spatial structure, so that the spatial channel that should have been disconnected is forcibly stabilized?

No matter what the reason is, I don’t have much time.

Gao Hai turned his head and looked forward, looking at the blood-red vines that were gradually spreading.

The bloody vine released to [Lijia Village] was just a clone, and its pollution intensity and power intensity were far inferior to the thing that was chasing Gao Hai. Therefore, even if the face-to-face distance between him and this thing is no more than fifty meters at this time, Gao Hai can still maintain the stability of his personality and flesh and blood, and will not be eroded by the breath of this thing.

It's a pity that he can only barely persist in this situation. If it were a local indigenous player, there would be absolutely no room for resistance even to something of this level, and it would inevitably be destroyed in less than a second. It is assimilated and absorbed within.

However, Hayasaka's aura is still there.

Although it is very weak, Gao Hai can indeed feel the presence of Hayasaka Ai. She is still here. Even though her state may have changed, she should still be here now.

[Blood Flower] deliberately slowed down the intensity of the erosion and treated her carefully?

Is it because of the reason? Because of my resistance to blood flowers as a [traverser], plus the special identity of the host of the black watch, this thing's attitude towards me is obviously different from other players. No matter how many times I come back, it always pays attention to me. Therefore, did He also notice Hayasaka, who was taken alone by me, and understand that I have special feelings for her?

However, for such an inhuman existence, it is probably difficult for Him to truly understand people's emotions and thoughts. In a sense, He may think that the existence of [Hayasaka Ai] is an [environmental factor] that can increase happiness for Gao Hai, which is the same concept as temperature, appetite, furniture color and placement. As for further concepts, it is hard to say whether it can be understood from the perspective of such a thing.

However, this kind of thing is not what Gao Hai is concerned about now.

After receiving the news from Zhenfei that Hayasaka was attacked, Gao Hai was ready after using the blood key to return here despite knowing that there were many dangers.

I will never let the incident of Yotsuya Miko happen again.

He was sure that the absorption and assimilation of Hayasaka by the blood flower was completely different from what Zhenfei and the others encountered in the second round. He would not let Hayasaka escape, nor would he give her the opportunity to enter the next round. Instead, he would completely absorb her like Miko and bind her in his body. Gao Hai would never accept such a thing and would never allow it.

"I say, you are not really my mother, don't go too far!!!"

Gao Hai took a step forward and took the initiative to meet the creeping blood-colored vines in the next moment.

Tsk, I always feel that the more I want to adjust the update time, the later it will be. . .

Chapter 101 The memory of the crying girl and the intertwined broken hands

I am afraid that my current behavior is not rational, right?

Gao Hai knew very well that taking the initiative to look for Hayasaka when he was being chased by the blood flower would inevitably put himself in danger.

But so what, if he really retreated at this time, that would be the most unacceptable thing for him. Before, Jianzi disappeared because he didn't know such a thing would happen. He could only accept the fact helplessly until it was a foregone conclusion. Now if Hayasaka had such a development again, he would never stand by and let it happen.

Anyway, death is death. It's not the first time for him to experience death. Moreover, from the beginning, he had been prepared that he could not pass this round and had to wait until the next round or even later to have a chance to win. So, since it was an acceptable price, there was no reason to retreat.

Never, let this thing take away his teammates again!

Step!

Gao Hai stepped heavily and stepped on the ground directly.

Reaching out, he grabbed a blood-colored vine and tore it off from the wriggling blood with force.

Intense pain spread between his fingers.

From the first moment of contact with this thing, the vine immediately began to spread into Gao Hai's body, and resonated with the parasitic vines in his body, growing faster.

But Gao Hai couldn't care about such things now. The only thing he cared about now was the girl trapped in the vines.

Tear——

Under the blessing of the runaway blessing, Gao Hai tore off a large piece of blood-colored vines again and threw it aside.

But the torn vines did not wither or stop moving. Instead, they grew and spread rapidly on the ground, occupying more places.

Behind the door that was forcibly fixed in space, a stronger and stronger smell of blood began to come. The thing chasing behind the door was getting closer and closer. I'm afraid it will arrive and open the wooden door to Gao Hai in just a few seconds.

Tear——

Tear off a few more creeping blood-colored vines.

At this moment, the spreading blood-red color was everywhere. These creeping vines penetrated the ground, the walls and roofs of the surrounding buildings, and gradually changed in form, as if they were going to replace the original things.

Gao Hai didn't pay attention to these things, but took another step forward, trying his best to tear open more vines, trying to find the girl in them.

However, there was no way to find it.

Although these annoying vines had been torn open, there was nothing inside, and no trace could be found at all.

The girl named [Hayasaka Ai] seemed to be no longer here, no longer existed. She disappeared even more thoroughly than Miko last week, so thoroughly that there was no trace left.

I have rushed back as fast as I can, but am I still a step late?

In the vines that have turned into a creeping blood-red ocean, Gao Hai's movements paused slightly, and his expression was confused for a moment.

"No."

But immediately, his eyes regained clarity.

She is still here.

Even if you can't see her, even if you can't touch her, she is still here.

The power of the blood flower can be said to be something that can [kill] people, or it can be said to be something that gives people eternal life. It is not right to have a one-sided understanding of something that is far beyond human imagination, so just like Jianzi was able to give Gao Hai hints in his dream after being swallowed by His power, Hayasaka should have been transformed into another life form by Him. So she is still here, she is still alive, but her consciousness and thinking have been eroded and broken, and she has lost her body in the material world.

I must find her.

If she is allowed to enter the next round in this state, Xiao Ai will really not be able to come back, and she will really be taken away forever like Jianzi. So I must find her in this state now, and I must take her away!

I can feel the blood vines growing wildly in my body, they are about to break out of my body and bloom new flowers.

At that point, I am probably completely hopeless. And if I die in that state and enter the new round, I may have to lie in the bloody city for half a month before I can regain consciousness. Therefore, it is best to commit suicide before the situation deteriorates to the limit. If you don't want to experience the torture that is more painful than death, you have to do this.

Wait, flowers?

Speaking of which, the external manifestation of this thing in the real world is indeed mainly vines and flowers.

If this is the case...

Gao Hai's eyes looked at the blood-red vines that had been torn to pieces by him, but at the same time they were also rapidly recovering their growth, and looked at the flower bud that was about to bloom wrapped in this wriggling thing.

He pushed forward hard, broke all the vines that blocked the way, and finally reached out to grab the small bud that was shaking gently.

[Hayasaka, today's homework is about to start, don't be distracted]

Then, when he touched the flower bud, he heard a long voice and the sobbing of a girl that was not very obvious.

It seems that he saw a blurry picture.

In the dark mansion, the little girl who lowered her head and showed a shrinking expression, wiped her tears with her hands, and the adults around who watched coldly.

That was a time full of gray colors, similar to Kaguya's childhood.

She was an introverted, shy, and tearful girl. But in such an environment, no one would sympathize with her, and no one would give her time to lose her temper. Even though her mother would give her as much love as possible, she and her mother were always separated due to the family's harsh and inhumane requirements. She was always accompanied by boring and painful courses and training, all just to become the so-called "qualified servant".

But there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, the Hayasaka family to which Hayasaka Ai belonged was a subordinate family that was annexed after the failure of the competition with the Shinomiya family, so the fate of the children of this family had been determined since birth. Although it sounds outrageous in modern society, in fact, the Hayasaka family has been the servants of the Shinomiya family for generations. The people of this family will be trained from birth and then become the personal servants of the designated Shinomiya family members. Hayasaka Ai was decided by the elders of the Shinomiya family to become Kaguya's servant under this circumstance, and her fate was determined by a single sentence.

Even more than that, if she had just become a servant, perhaps things would have been better. But in that twisted family, she was essentially given the duty of a spy, a carefully arranged betrayer who grew up with her master.

[Then, you will become Kaguya Shinomiya's valet, and from now on, you will report her every move to me every day]

[You must become her most trusted subordinate, her friend, and her partner, and make her feel that she can share everything with you and come to you for discussion]

[Then, no matter what she does, what ideas she has, she must tell me one by one. This is your mission, the youngest daughter of the Hayasaka family, I believe you can do it well, don't let me down]

Even after becoming a player, the eldest lady finally gained the power to confront the family and even overwhelm the family, and she was able to get rid of this duty that went against her conscience. But that distortion still remains in my heart at all times, tormenting my heart together with the fear of the copy monsters.

So I don't want to continue to suffer like this.

Even if I struggle to survive in the dungeon, won't I still suffer in the end?

I don't want to face those scary monsters, I don't want to be approached by those scary things without being able to sense them.

And the young lady... since I don't need to betray her anymore, does that mean that the previous things don't matter?

If she knew that her most trusted servant was actually a spy arranged by the family, if she knew that I was a betrayer from the beginning, she would definitely... not be able to forgive me...

I obviously don't want to live with a mask, I don't want to pretend to be all kinds of people to deal with others hypocritically.

But whether it's the young lady, the classmates at school, or the teammates who are fighting side by side in the dungeon now, and... the master who saved me. The way I face them is still the disguise I learned after training. Whether it's pretending not to be afraid of those things, pretending to be a trustworthy teammate, pretending to be able to act calmly and rationally at all times, I am really... disgusting to wear a mask and suppress my true appearance...

I don't want to suffer anymore.

If people are born to endure pain, then I have suffered enough, right?

If falling asleep can bring eternal happiness, then I think this may be enough.

Let me end, let me rest in peace.

Just let me...

fall asleep here...

...

Is this her heart?

The moment she touched the flower bud, Gao Hai felt Hayasaka's consciousness.

Under the power of the blood flower, it was close to collapse, and there was almost no way to maintain the consciousness. All her pain seemed to be magnified in that instant, and her thoughts were gradually deflected under the erosion of the power of the blood flower. She had a tendency to actively fall asleep in the face of this power.

There was no way to transmit mental power. In this state, she could no longer establish a temporary mental connection. If there was a connection with the black watch...what's the point of thinking about this now? No, I must find a way to communicate with her, but my mental power can't penetrate the blockade of the blood flower. What should I do? What should I do if this goes on?
