Act 3: Frostfall Rebellion Chapter 38: Rescue [The Tail Swallowing Serpent]
Looking at the familiar ceiling, Lin didn't get up immediately. She didn't understand what happened to her.
She deduced according to what happened before, but she didn't realize that with the deaths again and again, the memory of the nodes was dissipating bit by bit, and she was beginning to gradually integrate into this world. Perhaps, when she
After completely forgetting all that, she will completely integrate into this world, and she will die here completely due to the attacks of beasts.
Coming out of the room, Lin saw her mother who was preparing lunch. She looked at the wall clock in the living room. It was a quarter past ten. In two quarters, her father would be back for dinner.
However, the most important thing now is...
What's that? Lin looked at her mother who was busy in the kitchen, and she felt as if there was something very important that she had suddenly forgotten. She tried hard to think about it, but found that besides the fact that it was almost time to eat, she had nothing to do with her.
I can't even remember it.
Why is this happening? What did I forget? Lin thought hard while walking towards the kitchen.
"Let me help you!" Lin stood stunned for a long time at the door of the kitchen. Looking at her mother who was busy in the kitchen, she immediately stopped thinking about the thought that she could not think of and prepared to help her mother prepare lunch.
"It's Lin'er." Lin's mother looked back after hearing the voice and saw Lin standing at the door of the kitchen.
"Bring the bowls and chopsticks over, I've already done the rest." Lin's mother's face showed a smile, with a trace of wrinkles. It seems that for an ordinary person, time is most likely to take its toll on her body.
It left traces.
Lin took the three sets of bowls and chopsticks in a daze. Her mother's smile made her feel both familiar and unfamiliar. Her heart twitched slightly, and it was like lightning flashing through the sea of consciousness. A thought suddenly appeared in her mind, ten o'clock.
In two moments, the beast tide came and the city-state was destroyed...
"Crack..." The bowls and chopsticks in Lin's hand fell to the ground, and a crisp crackling sound sounded, startling Lin's mother who was cooking.
"Why were you so careless? Did you get hurt?" Lin's mother came over and took Lin's hand, looking at her with concern. She breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was not hurt.
Lin was already panicking. She grabbed her mother who was about to turn around and continue cooking: "Mom, let's run away quickly. The city-state is about to be destroyed."
Lin's mother was stunned for a moment, and then she pressed the back of her hand against Lin's forehead and cursed with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? It's so easy in the city..." Before she could finish her words, there was a fierce sound.
The roar and the vibration knocked the mother and daughter to the ground.
"What's going on?" Lin's mother quickly got up and ran to the window. At this time, the street was already in chaos. You could vaguely see the shadow of the beast flashing at the end of the street. Lin's mother
I even saw that my neighbor's grandmother, who usually sat together chatting, was thrown to the ground by a three-meter-long dog-like beast, and her neck was completely bitten off by the sharp teeth.
"How could..." Lin's mother backed away in panic. Just now, a beast had seen her through the window. She turned around and wanted to run away, but saw Lin who had just climbed up and was looking at her. Just as she was about to
Her footsteps suddenly stopped, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes...
Lin got up a little slower. When she looked at her mother, she saw her mother's cheeks wet with tears and her determined expression.
Before Lin could react, Lin's mother had already opened the door and rushed out. She actually wanted to use herself as bait to lure away the beasts that had noticed this house.
"Don't..." Big tears suddenly poured out of Lin's eyes. She stretched out her hand to catch the figure, but she saw through the crack of the door that was about to close, that familiar figure was
Several lynx-like beasts fell to the ground.
"No..." Lin cried weakly. She saw the kitchen knives in the kitchen out of the corner of her eye. Her eyes brightened slightly. She hurriedly pulled out two longer kitchen knives from the knife holder. Lin wiped her face with her arms.
With tears on his face, he quickly rushed towards the door.
There were flashes of fire on the street, screams, wails, cries for help and roars of beasts formed a desperate movement. Lin opened the door and saw that more than 20 meters away, several cat beasts were tearing apart.
Biting a mutilated corpse. If it weren't for the corpse's arm wearing a clover bracelet, she wouldn't have been able to tell that it was her mother.
Lin gritted her teeth, the flames of hatred dancing in her eyes. She raised her young hands, holding the kitchen knife, and rushed towards these cat beasts.
Obviously, in the eyes of these cat beasts, the young Lin was not a threat, and the two broken pieces of iron in her hands were even less threatening.
Lin's eyes flashed with resentment. It was hard to imagine that this kind of emotion would appear in a child of her age. Ten meters, five meters, the distance was getting closer...
"Kill them and avenge your mother!" This voice kept echoing in Lin's heart. Just when she was about to rush to these cat beasts, three claws flashed suddenly. Lin's footsteps stopped, but she could no longer
She took a step forward, and finally, she fell to the ground and turned into several pieces of corpse...
At the end of the town, three figures stood blankly, it was Reza, Rico and Liz who had just woken up.
They did not move. As Lin was killed by a cat beast in the distance, the whole town suddenly fell into an eerie stillness. A few minutes later, it was as if the hands of time had been turned in reverse. The panicked crowds in the town were everywhere.
The killing tide of beasts all disappeared, and peace and tranquility returned to the town. Reza seemed to be aware of it, and he looked at the clock tower in the center of the city.
Although the distance from here to the city center is already very long,
It was far away, but he could still clearly see the current time. It was a quarter past ten, and time was flowing backwards.
"How is it? Still unable to participate in this world?" Resa looked at Licoris who was constantly tinkering. In their hands, a purple ball of light intertwined with red and blue was spinning continuously. The two women kept trying.
, I wanted to integrate this ball of light into this world, but unfortunately, I failed.
"Her mental power is too strong, we can't affect it at all, not even when she dies." Rico replied while tinkering.
"It's really hard to imagine that Lin, who looks so weak and weak, actually has such huge mental power." Liz sighed in surprise: "Brother Resa, if this continues, won't we be able to save Lin? I can
I feel that her consciousness is gradually falling into a deep sleep."
"The situation is very difficult, but before that, we need to find how to intervene in this world. Through these two observations, I think I know what Lin's inner demon is." Resa looked at the clock tower in the distance,
As time passed, the hands were approaching ten and two quarters again.
"Lin is so pitiful. She experienced such a cruel thing at such a young age. If it were me, I would definitely go crazy!" Liz's face was full of sympathy. Before that, she had always treated Lin.
I feel that the other person is not suitable to be a guardian, let alone an explorer who is more dangerous than a guardian.
But now it seemed that maybe she had misunderstood her all along. Even at this moment, Liz felt that she could understand why Lin chose to become a guardian.
"Aren't you already crazy?" Resa rubbed Liz's little head and teased with a smile.
"Ah! Brother Resa doesn't allow you to reveal someone else's background!" Liz glared at Resa in shame: "I found that brother Resa, you have become bad now, hum~~~"
"What are you afraid of? There are no outsiders here." Resa couldn't help but smile. This little girl actually knew how to be shy.
"Humph! That's not allowed to be mentioned." Liz's face showed a trace of loneliness. Maybe Resa said this just because he didn't see the scene where he killed his sister, but in Liz's heart,
But she still couldn't let go of this, even if she knew that in Elder Long's barrier, she and others could not be killed, and she could not pass her level.
Resa was keenly aware of Liz's change, and immediately stopped laughing. He had just prepared to comfort Liz a few times, when a violent explosion sounded from the edge of the town. When Resa went out, he saw that the city-state
The defensive force was defeated in an instant under the impact of the beast tide.
"Work harder, this time, we won't miss anything." Resa's body exuded a scarlet mist, which merged into the purple light ball in Lycoris' hand, making the light ball become
