313. Return and death
Hal returned to camp.
But at this time, there was no one here.
Ha La was very sure that the place she was standing now was exactly where the tent was, but at a glance, there was only dirt and grass.
She couldn't even see any trace that anyone had ever camped here.
Have they moved? Or have you not reached the real hiding place of the camp yet?
The Queen of Hearts is an extremely powerful witch. Maybe Hal needs some special method to reach the real camp.
The sphere in the eye socket disappeared, and the blue glow grew brighter.
Hal could see no trace of the camp.
Maybe she is too weak, maybe they are no longer here.
The method of communicating with the guards like last time may not work anymore.
But Hara doesn't need to do that.
This time there was no one around her.
The girl jumped up slightly.
Then she flew up.
The white dove was hovering in the sky, flapping its wings, adjusting to her new body.
This feeling is actually not very good.
The animal nature grew in her heart.
The brain structure of birds is far less sophisticated than that of humans.
Her eyes are now on the sides of her head.
And the way her brain processes signals from her eyes is slightly different from humans.
Her field of vision reaches more than 200 degrees, which is a very novel experience for Hala who is accustomed to human vision. Her eyes also have organs unique to birds, which are used to protect the nictitating membrane from wind and sand.
Light hollow bones and muscles evolved for flight.
But even though there are so many differences between pigeons and humans, pigeons are actually similar to humans in many ways.
For example, both have the same number of sensory systems, most overlapping brain functions, bones, blood, flesh, heart, lungs, and stomach.
The connection between the two is so wonderful.
But some monsters are completely different.
In Hevin's book, Holla had seen some creatures whose sensory systems were not the same as those of humans, and the functions of their organs were beyond the scope of human imagination.
What makes such a difference.
Is it because they were created by different creators? Or is it, as Darwin claimed, that the environment determines everything about local organisms, and that everything is the result of natural evolution.
The pigeon's little brain cannot figure this out.
There may be some races with intelligence far beyond that of humans, but Hal has been avoiding becoming them.
She saw the towering city walls again.
But Ha La, who had been there, knew that the city wall was not even more than ten meters high, and the altitude where she was was far more than ten meters high.
She should have been able to see the street inside.
But from her perspective, everything in the city was blocked by the "high wall". The only things that could be seen were the body of the King of Hearts, which was pierced by the so-called high tower, and the body of the King of Hearts hovering on his crown.
raven.
And this tower is just a spear.
Ha La felt a little worried.
When she finally flew in front of the city wall, her worries became reality.
The city wall is taller than her.
Always.
She flew lower and lower.
She saw the city gate she had visited with her companions.
The patterns on the city wall and the position of the few tufts of grass in front of the door are exactly the same as before.
There's just one person missing here.
Cube held a long sword in one hand and stood silently in front of the door.
Hal returned to the ground and stood up.
She walked towards the city gate.
Square 1 has an extremely serious expression.
The last time they met, he seemed to be unable to hold back his laughter at any moment, but now there was no crazy joy in his eyes.
It was replaced by a touch of compassion.
Ha La walked up to him and noticed that there were some traces of curling on the sword blade he was holding.
"Open the door."
Cube nodded and opened the city gate directly.
"As you command, Duke of Spades."
Ha La walked towards the city without saying a word.
The raven is still circling in the sky, inspecting everything that happens in the city like a guard, waiting to inform its master later.
After Hala entered the city, she saw another missing guard—One of Hearts—after taking a few steps.
He is underneath the body of the King of Hearts.
His head has returned to its original appearance, showing a bright silver color with a unique texture. Next to his head, there are many other people's heads, including the metal heads of the Parkas and the skulls of the undead.
It formed a hill of human heads.
Some people's faces still retain the expressions they had when they were alive. It seems that after being separated from their bodies, the heads of these Pacas have turned into really hard metal and can no longer relax.
Some heads were extremely angry, some were terrified, and some had weird smiles on their faces.
Anger and pain blended on Heart One's face.
There is a sign at the front, with several large bloody characters painted on it with red paint:
"traitor."
Ha La stopped for a moment.
Then she continued walking forward.
If we go by the time, tomorrow morning will be the time of execution.
Hala walked into the alley.
But when she came out again, she had changed into a different look.
A mouse.
She followed the guidance of her memory and headed towards the only place she knew.
The fence gate that was broken by Peloris has been repaired, but traces of damage can still be seen.
She slipped right in through the gap in the door.
Soon she arrived at the back door from the last time, and it was impossible to tell whether there was anyone inside from the outside.
She searched around the building again and soon found a passage suitable for small animals.
She entered the house.
It's empty here too.
Blue light flashed in the mouse's eyes.
Then she came to the stairs leading to the underground of the Spade Boss.
The mouse ran and jumped quickly on the stairs.
Every time Ha La reaches a floor, she will stop and twitch her nose to smell it.
She arrived at the door where she met the Spade Boss for the first time.
An adult human male emerged from the shadows.
Hora stretched out her hand and turned the golden skull handle.
Can't push it.
This is not a weight that ordinary humans can shake.
The adult male's back muscles begin to expand outward, and his clothes change accordingly. Black hair grows, and his teeth grow forward, so sharp that they can easily penetrate into the throat of prey.
The werewolf stretched out his hand again and pushed open the door made of pure gold.
She lowered her head and walked in.
The werewolf's body shrank rapidly and turned back into the appearance of a human man.
Nothing can be seen.
Ha La's eyes trembled slightly.
Then everything in front of you becomes clearly visible.
There were several corpses lying on the ground.
Or rather, skeletons.
The heads of these undead were roughly and cruelly torn off, and the crying face masks were scattered on the ground.
Light came from behind Ha La.
Suddenly there was strong wind pressure on the back of her head.
She started to turn around.
The muscles in his arms began to swell, and his nails turned into claws.
As Hal turned around, she was transforming into a werewolf.
Boom!
Chapter completed!
