Lily returned to the stairwell from the rooftop and described everything she saw to everyone, as well as the questions that came to her mind.
But then she said:
"Unless we follow the monster and observe it closely for a few days, it will be difficult to answer these questions. But obviously, this is not our purpose this time, so we will put these questions aside for now."
"I agree." Dunn immediately raised his hands.
Glancing at the childish Dunn, Lily suggested adding some water and food before setting off to the subway station, which was approved.
After replenishing water and food, everyone set off again, leaving the back door of the Royal Judiciary Court, walking through a short street, and saw a large tennis court with withered vegetation.
Ender looked at the desolate world in front of him and wanted to express some emotion, but suddenly he realized that he didn't seem to be able to write poetry or read many books, so he gave up in frustration.
"Let's go directly across the tennis court. This will save a lot of time. The direction of the station is just diagonal to the tennis court."
Sandra looked at the map twice and suggested.
Lily thought for a while, but rejected Sandra's proposal:
"I think it's better for us to walk on the streets and roads instead of walking through the trees and grass. There are many small animals in the latter that we don't usually notice, and these small animals also need to be careful."
Sangzhuo suddenly realized and looked down at the map again:
"Then let's go north and turn left when we see a language school, if it can still be recognized by us. If not, then turn left at the second intersection."
"Yeah, very detailed, very good." Lily praised. And took Ander to lead the way towards the north.
She couldn't keep Sandra in front, as the constant mental stress would make Sandra unable to bear it and her body collapse in advance, so Ender, who had similar advantages as Sandra, became a good substitute.
As a sister, she wanted to protect her brother, so she also walked in front.
When passing the first intersection, Lily glanced to her left and vaguely remembered that there was a museum there.
But before she could look back, she suddenly stopped moving forward, and cold sweat slowly broke out on her forehead.
When everyone saw her suddenly stopping and her expression becoming stiff, they all stopped moving and became on guard.
Dunn quickly approached Lily and lowered his voice and asked:
"Lily, what's wrong?"
Lily seemed to be murmuring: "Run! Quick...run!"
"What? I can't hear you clearly?" Dunn became anxious.
"There is something... spying on us, very powerful, very scary..." Lily's peeping sense took effect again, but compared to the last time, she had just developed a sense, and she was covered in goosebumps. The knot couldn't stop popping out, and a feeling of smoothness, coldness, and dampness swept through her heart.
This feedback made her teeth chatter a little, and she briefly lost her ability to think.
But soon, the feeling of being spied on subsided and never appeared again, as if everything was an illusion.
Lily couldn't hold it back and fell directly to the ground, sweating uncontrollably and panting slowly.
Seeing that Lily almost turned into a water person within a few seconds, everyone in the orphanage became panicked to varying degrees.
Lily suddenly became like this for unknown reasons, and the unknown is always the scariest thing.
Ender hurriedly took out the water from Lily's backpack and handed it to Lily to indicate that she should replenish some water. She would be dehydrated after sweating so much all at once.
After taking the water, without even bothering to say thank you, Lily took a few sips of water quickly. The cold feeling was finally relieved. She spoke with difficulty and explained with some fear:
"Just now...some kind of existence...set its sights on us. That feeling...is really terrible, giving me a slippery coldness. I had the illusion that the tentacles were licking my whole body, and I couldn’t think of any other thoughts at all.”
"But that existence seems to have left, and it doesn't seem to be interested in us..." She added this in order not to worry everyone.
Dunn immediately looked around, trying to find a building where Lily could relax first.
Camille became even more worried after hearing this. Although she didn't feel anything, she had a lot of understanding of these things after she accompanied Lily to witness those strange things on the platform of Waterloo Station last time. Great awe.
Now there is such a being, just looking at Lily makes Lily afraid like this.
Is it really necessary to go on and find John?
Aiden also had a similar idea, and immediately walked forward and squatted down, patting Lily on the back to indicate that she was okay, while trying to organize words:
"Lily, we..."
boom! ! !
Before Aiden could say a few words, everyone in the orphanage was thrown off the ground by the sudden earthquake-like impact and flew out.
Only Lily seemed to be jumping up on the spot, being bounced nearly two meters high.
Among the various exclamations, someone shouted, "Look at your feet."
Immediately, everyone who was still in the air saw the cracks spreading rapidly under their bodies, and the center of these cracks——Lily.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding buildings made a harsh and strange sound of twisting rocks and steel bars. After suffering from the phenomenon of time erosion, they finally could not withstand the damage caused by the huge vibration. The walls and gravel rustled like raindrops. If it falls, it is not difficult to understand that these buildings are probably going to collapse.
Lily, who was in the center and was the tallest one, felt her whole body feel cold and numb because of the inexplicable gaze just now. Even though she saw that the street where she was was starting to crack and deform, her legs and feet were still numb. Relieved, she could only watch as a huge hole appeared inexplicably on the ground beneath her, for no other reason than to swallow her.
The shaking of the ground continued. Even though Camille landed first due to her weight, she was unable to stand firm. She could only roll and crawl with her arms covering her head, trying to find a safe place.
At this time, other people in the orphanage who landed one after another subconsciously avoided the cracks under their feet and the buildings that might collapse. Even if they paid some attention to Lily, they were unable to rush to her immediately. beside.
"Sister!!!" Ender's heart-wrenching shout echoed in this neighborhood of London.
He clearly saw that his sister Lily fell headlong into the cracked middle area and into the hole, but he could not stand still and could not make any remedial measures.
Dunn also reacted and began to think of ways to use the bulges caused by the cracks in the ground to move towards the crack where Lily fell, half-kneeling and half-crawling.
He was the first to reach the crack, and leaned down as hard as he could. He called to Lily and wanted to reach out to pull Lily up, but the next second he suddenly stopped shouting because he saw him clearly at the bottom of the crack. Lily was not found.
Immediately, Ander, who followed the climber quickly, was stunned. He couldn't understand what was going on. Where was his sister?
