Chapter 31 Courage

Don't die, Lorenzo Holmes!

Eve was thinking silently in her mind as she ran. To be honest, everything she experienced tonight was more exciting than all the events in the first half of her life put together. The monsters living in the dark side of the world, and those who fought with the monsters.

.

The world is more complicated than Eve imagined. The girl is distressed and painful about this, but she also feels inspired by Lorenzo like never before.

He was perhaps the bravest person she had ever seen in her life. Although he had a bad personality, he still had the courage to wield his sword in the face of the monster that could destroy the spirit. Eve looked so different under his brilliance.

It's been bleak.

She didn't know how long she ran, but Eve kept going downwards. She heard the sound of rushing water, which was the ditch Lorenzo mentioned.

The girl stopped immediately. The surrounding area was dark, with only dim electric lights illuminating the small space.

She was not as knowledgeable as Lorenzo, and she couldn't see clearly what was around her. Only then did the girl realize the importance of Lorenzo. Without that detective, she might have died long ago.

But at this moment, the voice that had been chasing Eve sounded again, the faint and clear sound of snakes wrapping around their scales. Because of the sound of flowing water, Eve couldn't tell where the sound came from. Girl

He only tightened his grip on the gun in his hand and looked around cautiously.

Lorenzo said that that thing would put incredible pressure on the spirit, but as long as you get used to that kind of fear, no matter how ferocious a tiger is, it is just a dangerous big cat.

Clenching the gun in her hand, Eve's eyes swept back and forth in the darkness.

Thoughts kept flying. Eve thought a lot in that moment. She thought about what would happen if she lived and what would happen if she died. There was nothing to be afraid of, but there would be a lot of regrets.

For a moment, it was an extremely unfamiliar trance. Eve was not sure when she became like this. She remembered that a long time ago, she was also a very ordinary girl who liked skirts and dolls. When did she start

Are you holding onto your sword and gun?

In the darkness of consciousness, the girl thought hard, and everything became clear in this thinking.

Eve was born after the Glorious War, but before Eve was born, she actually had three brothers. As said in those war stories, her three brothers all died in the war before she was born. Her parents always took them with them.

Looking at myself with a touch of sadness, I regard myself as a treasure.

Sometimes it's ironic that the death of the three brothers has always left the family with a touch of sadness, but because of their deaths, her parents gave Eve all their love, and Eve's childhood was like growing up in a sugar house.

So why did you become like this?

Eve couldn't think clearly, and the sharp claws in the darkness came instantly. It was a frightening aura, but Eve still mustered up some courage. She rolled to avoid the attack and then fired back.

Dark red blood gushes out in the darkness and sprinkles on the ground.

Her heart was beating violently, but unlike before when she was too frightened to walk, Eve was gradually adapting. Dragging her stiff body, she ran towards a dark corner. This was what Lorenzo told him when he was in the corridor.

her.

The voice in that memory rang in my ears.

"According to the records of the cult, humans and demons first lived together on the earth. Humans imprisoned themselves with strong city walls. When night came, they would hide in sealed shelters, suppressing fear and not making any sound.

sound."

I remember what Lorenzo said at that time.

"We shivered in the darkness until the first flame lit up, illuminating the dark forest. It can help other people who are confused in the dark find their way, but it can also make the monsters lurking in the darkness aware of your presence.

exists, so light sometimes does not protect us. If you want to kill the monster, you must first become it and dive into the darkness."

The friction sound of the scales became more intense, and Eve could even smell the fishy smell that filled the air. She clung to the wall in the darkness, so she only had to keep her eyes open.

She wanted to live, at least until Lorenzo arrived.

This is a building similar to a circular courtyard. Because the sound is reflected by the curved walls, the sound of water and friction sound together, making it impossible to judge the direction.

Something seemed to be brushing against Eve's face, but she rubbed her sleeves and found nothing. Maybe it was the falling dust. The girl thought so and suddenly raised the gun in her hand and fired towards the darkness above.

.

The muzzle of the gun crackled with dazzling fire, illuminating everything in the darkness and the demon entrenched on top. It was a strange and twisted body, with pale bones connected to exposed muscles, and three or four hands clinging to the wall.

, sharp teeth grow outside the mouthpart, and densely packed eyeballs are arranged inside it.

The bullet successfully hit the monster. When Eve was studying in the police academy, she got perfect marks in the shooting course. She directly hit the monster's head at close range, and several eyeballs shattered directly, making a hoarse howl.

"Calm down, Eve, calm down..."

The girl muttered silently and then rolled away to avoid the falling demon. Her pupils were bloodshot and her hands were shaking slightly but she still held the weapon. It is reasonable to think that it is difficult to regard such a twisted nightmare as a dangerous big cat.

This is the scary thing about monsters. Every moment you fight against them is a test of your spirit. Once you collapse, you will die.

A fierce whistling wind came from behind. It was a sharp claw with a ring on the slender claws. It seemed to have been a human being, but due to the strangeness of this night, it also became a member of the demons.

Eve turned around fiercely. She knew very well that she could not escape. She pulled out her dagger and slashed hard, but the girl's strength was obviously not comparable to that of the demon. The dagger and the sharp claws collided together. Eve only felt

His mouth was numb, and then the dagger was knocked away weakly, and then there was a medium-deep scar on his slender arm.

It seemed that because of the human blood, the demon let out a howl of excitement, opened its sharp mouthparts, and tightly grabbed Eve with its twisted arms. The meat grinder-like mouthparts were just like this on the girl.

unfolded in front of him, and he would die here if nothing else happened.

Is it over?

But it seemed that this was the only way to end. Several arms grabbed Eve tightly like shackles, and the slender claws penetrated into the flesh. Her spirit became more and more broken, and it seemed that she would fall into madness in the next second.

What an unlucky night. If I had listened to my father, maybe I would be sleeping in a warm bed now. I would not know about the so-called monsters, and I would grow up happily until I meet a beloved partner somewhere with a pleasant scenery.

Spend the rest of your life on the island.

This is how it should be, so when did it become like this?

Is it his father who drinks alcohol at night after his mother died of illness? No, in fact he has been like this since he was born. He is grieving for his brothers. A familiar photo frame appeared in her mind, but Eve couldn't remember the face on it, she could only

Knowing that they were her brothers, she was the princess of the Phoenix family, a phoenix reborn from the ashes.

But he was the one who survived, and they were the ones who became ashes.

Every moment of breath and every moment of life that he enjoys was obtained by their death. Perhaps he became like this only after he understood this.

The sharp mouthparts stirred and fell, and at this moment, Eve's body burst out with incredible strength. Enduring the pain of the sharp claws, her arms broke free from the restraints, and then punched the demon with a pistol.

Among the fallen mouthparts.

It was almost numbing pain, but Eve didn't care. Under extreme fear, some people would go crazy, while others would fall into hysterical bravery.

The girl's fierce and brave face was reflected in the dense eyeballs, and the pupils shrank with anger, just like the vertical pupils of a wild beast.

"go to hell!"

She roared and pulled the trigger in her hand. A dull sound kept sounding under the strange flesh and blood. Bullets penetrated the demon's body one after another, strangulating its flesh and blood directly from the inside. It beat Eve hard

He fell against the wall, a large mouthful of blood gushed out from the mouthpiece, and his hoarse voice was harsh.

Eve fell heavily from the wall. It felt like her whole body was broken. Her arms were bloody and had shocking wounds. The monster opposite also felt uncomfortable, but it was just uncomfortable. It was a monster, and this painful wound only

It will arouse its animal nature, and the stomach grass parasitic in the body will grow out one after another, like a group of snakes dancing wildly.

The cowardly heart finally became brave. Eve gritted her teeth and stood up with difficulty. Even if she died, she could not weaken the Phoenix family's limelight. The demon rushed towards Eve again. Eve tried to move, but she was covered in pain.

The pain almost made her faint, but in the end the girl moved and dodged before the fatal impact.

The gray dust fell violently, and the ferocious shadow twisted and waved in the flying dust.

Eve gasped violently. She survived and lived for dozens more seconds, but this was enough. She wanted to live, at least until Lorenzo came. Although she had only known this detective for a short time, that detective

The image of a person standing up to the demon is indeed imprinted in my heart.

Lorenzo Holmes will not die. He must be able to kill the monster if he dares to stay there. As long as he lives, he lives...

Another roaring attack, the tentacles growing randomly were like flying swords. Eve was just scratched and left a wound, and the blood flowed uncontrollably.

Her vision was a little dim, and Eve felt as if she had been immersed in a sea of ​​ice. Due to the loss of blood, her will could no longer resist the invasion of demons.

It seemed like she was about to stop there, so Eve closed her eyes as she looked at the approaching demon.

Time passed minute by minute, but the expected death did not come. There seemed to be light rising in front of her eyes, so Eve opened her eyes, and the blazing white flame filled her entire field of vision.
