"Is this... a goat head?"
Black Arrow asked in a low voice in disbelief, as if the glass would shatter if he spoke any louder.
"I'm afraid so." The sea monster tapped a seven-pointed star symbolizing the seven holy spirits on his forehead with his finger.
Although difficult to identify, it was definitely a goat's head.
"Brother, you call this a sheep's head...?!" Bai Ya said, retreating to the corner.
Under the head, the entire pale spine was exposed to the air, swinging like a fish's tail. Sarcoid-like spikes bulged out from the surface of the spirally twisted horns, and the incisors and molars turned into densely packed sharp canines, some of which pierced out from the inside of the gums.
"..."
Ed did not join in their conversation, but looked at Quinn beside him. Her body was shaking violently, and her muscles were spasming from the pain caused by the drastic changes in her limbs.
"Are you okay, Quinn?" he reassured.
"I'm fine..." Her character was as stubborn as it was many years later.
Gah! ! !
The head screamed like a baby crying. Life rises from this sacred blood, forming a strange picture:
Beside the glass window covered with plasma, the broken limbs were squirming and adsorbed on the spine, forming a crazy and blasphemous creation, but inexplicably making people feel a kind of solemn beauty that is suffocating and even dizzy——
It looked like a mural of an angel made of bone and flesh. Just looking at it is enough to make even the strongest-willed person lose their nerve.
The "angel" looked at everyone lovingly with its raised rectangular pupils. It pressed its six bloody palms against the window and hummed in a low voice with its thirteen mouths.
There was a buzzing in my head.
This is a dream, this is a dream. Ed kept reminding himself. As long as he is consciously aware that he is dreaming, he will not be easily affected by monsters.
"Does it... want to come in?" Byakuya murmured, "Should we let it in? Maybe it's not a bad idea. Maybe... no, this isn't right at all."
"I...I don't know...what to say..." Black Arrow echoed helplessly, his voice was slurred, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, like a stroke patient.
The sea monster lowered his head and said nothing, but Ed could see that he was fighting against his own will.
However, this is not the worst case scenario right now. What worries him the most is——
Quinn's body twitching stopped.
"What a cute little lamb. Can I go out and play with it for a while?" she suddenly said, with a gentle green light shining in her eyes.
"No, it's very dangerous outside." Ed took a deep breath and whispered softly, "Let's just stay here and watch, okay? If you go out, I can't guarantee your safety."
boom.
The monster hit the window with its horns, and a shocking crack was desperately displayed in front of everyone.
"Then I can go out alone. Just for a short while, I can take care of myself." Quinn stretched out two fingers and wanted to move forward, "I promise I will be back. I promise!"
Ed stopped her with his arm: "Not today. How about asking Bai Ya and Brother Black Arrow to accompany you to the zoo later? Do you like giraffes?"
"But I don't like giraffes, I just want this lamb." Quinn said stubbornly, her eyes turning red, "Please, Brother Edgar, I have never made a request, just this once !”
Another impact. A piece of glass shards flew into the room in succession, and Ed could clearly see the black spikes on the horns.
"Remember what dad said, you have to stay with me. If you leave, brother, I won't be able to explain to Mr. Christopher."
"He's not my father!" Quinn cried suddenly, "I knew it a long time ago! I look nothing like Olivia, nor my mother. That little lamb is my family!"
She buried her head and bit Ed's arm hard. The sudden severe pain made Ed couldn't help but relax his arms. Quinn took the opportunity to squat down and ran towards her room.
"Quinn - ugh..." Ed looked at his bloody right arm and gave up chasing for the time being.
This has been a knot in Quinn's mind for many years. What else can he ask for from a ten-year-old child? Under the influence of the blood moon, she was thankful that she didn't lose control and throw herself out the window on the spot.
The sea monster's life is the most important thing right now. If he dies in his dream, everything he does will be meaningless.
The flesh-and-blood monster finally broke the glass, and a mutated skull with a ferocious face poked out of the window. A hoof-like arm struggled to open more gaps.
Ed pulled the trigger. The howling wind sounded, and rocket bullets penetrated the skull, but disappeared as if they had disappeared into the sea.
The others were still stuck in that confused state. Byakuya shot an arrow weakly, while the black arrow and the sea monster didn't hit at all——
Until a burst of exciting piano sound sounded.
The sound of the music is like an oasis of clear springs in the desert, waking up travelers suffering from heatstroke.
All the blue light was concentrated on the window. Every inch of the fragments and every inch of the wall were shrinking and recovering, compressing the monster at the window. The flesh and blood struggled to merge with the moonlight-bearing glass.
"What happened? I..." Bai Ya looked at himself in disbelief, and then shot an arrow at the monster as if he was waking up from a dream.
"Leave this to me, Agent Waikolo. If you still trust me, please fulfill your mission and protect Quinn."
Christopher's voice came through her ears, just like Miss Olivia's.
