Death climbed up Valentine's back and began to knock at his bones and suck out his marrow.
What spreads along the nerves is not pain, but a suppressed coldness, as if coming from the bottom of an abyss that never sees light.
The sound in his ears was suddenly taken away, and a buzzing sound crept into the brief silence, causing the eardrum and cochlea to vibrate.
The vision in front of him was hazy, and the corridors he saw began to lengthen, twist, split, and converge...
It turned into an incomprehensible mass of dense creation, but it still retained all the elements of the building, and still allowed him to recognize that it was a corridor, allowing him to understand that he could step into it.
Walk over and towards the dark shadow at the end.
Valentine opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but no sound came out of his throat——
Suddenly there was a question in his mind.
What is sound?
Why do I think so?
This doubt was like ink dripping into clear water, suddenly staining everything he knew at the moment of birth.
Thoughts, emotions, instincts, rules, reality...
It decomposes into countless question marks, coming from all directions and going east, west, north and south. It rained suddenly and piled up like a mountain, burying Valentine in it and unable to leave.
But the black figure still stood in the distance, like the only fire in the darkness.
It is also the only existence that he can understand in Valentine's collapsed cognition.
I want……
I want to go there!
I want to go to her!
Beside her...in her...into it...
Valentine staggered forward, his cognition began to gradually recover, but it was only fixed on that person, and everything else was still broken.
There was black color flowing out of him, as thick as oil. If Valentine's consciousness was normal at this moment, he would find that these "oils" were the evil of all living beings that drove him crazy during the Battle of Qicheng.
But at this moment, this embodied evil was torn into countless strands of slime. It tried desperately to gather it together but was unable to do so. It couldn't even touch Valentine's toes, so it could only gradually fall into invisibility.
Just like the man slowly walking into the abyss, he was slowly swallowed by the invisible blackness around him.
No one picked it out, packed it up and threw it away, and no one rescued him who had gone astray.
Even the glow leaking from Valentine's neck is contaminated, and it cannot even deprive the life of the person it infects.
Here, time has no meaning and space ceases to exist. Valentine felt that he was very close to her, close enough to touch her soul, but after taking a step forward, he was far away from her, so far that he could only touch her shadow.
Such repetition and reincarnation fanned the fire of desire in the heart, turned into a bridge, and sent Valentine to that person.
finally……
Touch her.
The nun in black opened her arms to the believers. Valentine closed his eyes, gave up his last trace of human consciousness, and devoted himself to it.
…
"You guys are really good at playing in the deep sea."
The sound tore through the darkness like thunder.
So time goes back, cognition goes back, and everything returns to its original place.
Noah, played by Valentine, has just arrived on this floor and is standing at the elevator door. The ghost shark faced him far away, at the end of the corridor.
The distance between the two is neither too far nor too close. Valentine could barely see the expression on the other person's face, which was still lifeless and dull as usual.
It was as if the nightmare just now had nothing to do with her.
But Valentine can clearly remember...
Remember……
"What the hell?"
The little dragon man frowned and cursed secretly in his heart.
He remembered nothing but darkness.
Further forward, there are memories of when we first arrived on this floor.
At that time, Valentine just had a cold war, and he immediately located the source of the danger, and threw out the Origin Stone skills one by one.
Not only did he discharge electricity at the ghost shark, he also gave himself a hundred thousand volts, plus an insurance policy.
As long as their lives are in danger, they will terminate all illusions they have cast and let the two of them return to reality.
You can question Valentine's physical attack power, but please don't question his mental magical attainments.
After all, he also created a figure of supreme faith in another world.
As a result, the unprepared Ghost Shark was attacked, and so was the prepared Valentine. The two performed a wonderful show and walked away from the gate of hell.
Even if Valentine couldn't imagine what he had just experienced at this moment, he didn't want to stay here any longer.
Illusion is most effective only the first time, and it won't be very effective if used again in a short period of time.
As a young man of the new era who grew up under the red flag, he is a staunch materialist, but at this moment he feels like he has seen a ghost.
This kind of elusive weirdness is 10,000 times more dangerous than Patriots, Tallulah and the like!
No matter how powerful those people are, they have a guarantee of "vitalization" and will not die no matter how hard they wander.
But this girl in front of me...
You may not die, but you may no longer be yourself.
When I am no longer who I am, what will I become?
The thought was completed in an instant, and Valentine didn't even say hello, so he turned and walked towards the elevator.
But as soon as he twisted his spine, the figure standing in the distance flashed in front of him. The sonic boom caused by such a high speed made Valentine's eardrums hurt, and the vortex generated by the air vibration almost made him fall to the ground.
When the dragon man recovered from the brief shock caused by the sonic boom, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed from a white corridor to a wilderness with green grass.
Before Valentine even reacted, the ghost shark had already left the Rhode Island main base with him in his arms.
This girl even left the loud noise of the wall crashing far behind her!
Her speed couldn't even catch up with the pain!
Realizing this, Valentine's hands and feet were cold, and he didn't care about pretending. He hurriedly released a dazzling light of lightning to break free. As a result, his whole body slid tens of meters due to inertia, plowing a deep ravine on the ground.
Use your face.
When Valentin came back to his senses, the pain that had just accumulated came together and bloomed throughout his body.
Fortunately, he used magic to suppress the pain nerves, otherwise he might have fainted from the pain at this moment.
But the ghost shark that had just stopped suddenly stood there, with an elegant and beautiful posture, folding his hands in front of him, looking down at the little dragon man inserted into the ground.
Finally there was light in her eyes.
"As you can see."
Valentine spit out the mud in his mouth and turned to look at the ghost shark spreading his hands.
"I'm not a doctor."
"You got the wrong guy."
He didn't know the reason for the ghost shark's attack, nor did he know why the girl seemed normal again at this moment.
But he knew very well that the target of the ghost shark should be Dr. Noah, not a cute and frail little dragon man.
"Yes."
Ghost Shark admitted it openly.
"But so would taking you back."
As a result, the second sentence gave Valentine a little shock.
He blinked and looked at the nun sister who raised her finger and pointed at him.
Why, your priests and nuns in Terra also like little boys?
It's not impossible...ah, priests can't do it, but nuns can.
But I’m already in my twenties and I just look a little younger. Is that okay?
Valentin only dared to say the above rubbish in his heart.
He feigned just the right amount of confusion on his face.
"Can you tell me why?"
