Chapter 275 – Brother and Sister
Chapter 275 – Brother and Sister
Penny’s huge butterfly wings were already all over the place.
With a small face scrunched up, she flapped her wings with difficulty.
Saul was in a momentary trance, as if he couldn’t help but doze off when he was sleepy and anxious, but then came to his senses after his head shook.
“Could it be that the Nightmare Butterfly can see people’s memories?” He instantly ran his mental power and tensed up.
“I saw it, she really came to life.” Penny was a bit bewildered, “Why is the dead cocoon actually showing signs of hatching on you?”
“That’s something you don’t have to worry about.” It was actually Saul who didn’t know either, “Do you still want to drag me to die now? If I can’t go back, your child will fall into the hands of someone else, and they won’t be able to hatch the cocoon of the Nightmare Butterfly.”
“No need to say it, I believe you.” Penny looked at Saul no longer acting like a little kid, “I will open the real exit and let you out, but you have to be careful of that wizard waiting outside. I don’t know what he’s up to, but I know he’s definitely not a good guy.”
Penny asked again, “Have you been touched by the red current since you entered the town?”
Saul recalled carefully and shook his head affirmatively.
“That’s even better.” Penny revealed a smile, “I don’t have to use up my strength to remove the curse that is wrapped around you. That way I can still save a bit of energy ……”
Penny’s voice trailed off as if she was hesitating about something.
“I was going to let him die here with me.”
Him?
The somewhat naive and temperamental figure flashed in Saul’s mind.
“You mean Ada?”
“Yes, my brother.” Penny’s mental state was a bit off, “I’ve been in this body for too long.”
She sighed and suddenly walked over to the window.
Immediately, the red waves of blood were like spiteful spirits, reaching out their arms at Penny, trying to pull her into the water.
However, Penny was the one who lifted her wings and flew, shaking off those blood arms.
She barely maintained her balance in the air and said to Saul, “Wait for me for a moment.”
After saying that her figure suddenly disappeared.
A silver butterfly appeared in its place, fluttered its mutilated wings twice, and with incredible speed, instantly disappeared into the air and flew into the distance.
“My lord ……”
Just as Saul looked in the direction where Penny disappeared, a voice suddenly called him from behind.
When Sol turned around, he saw a transparent arm crawling on the ground like a spider.
The arm was slender, with very small bones, and appeared to be a woman’s hand.
“My lord,” although the spirit was only left with one arm, she was still able to speak, “Please take me as well. I would like to be your servant and do everything at your command.”
“You are the spiteful spirit hidden in Angela’s left hand?”
“Yes my lord, but I have absolutely no intention of disrespecting you. Just now I even urged Angela to step in and help you, but unfortunately she was too timid to act.”
Saul wasn’t very interested in the crippled grudge and intended to take it over and feed it to his diary.
Then he suddenly remembered something.
Angela had never left the Sorcerer’s Tower before, so where did this grudge spirit come from?
Was it a “cargo” brought back by other apprentices? Or was it a product of the Tower itself?
“Are you from the mezzanine?” Saul decided to give it a try.
Hearing the word mezzanine, the hand visibly trembled for a moment, and then “snapped” and got down in a five-legged position.
“Yes, yes, my lord. I come from within the Bronze Gate. In an accident, I had my arm chopped off and ran out of the gate. Have since been hiding inside a candle pipe, and found another opportunity to crawl down Mentor Kaz’s lab trash can, and ended up possessing a nearby Angela.”
The Spiteful Hand originally wanted to use a mournful voice to please Saul and gain sympathy, but by this time the waves of blood had already flowed inward along the window sill, and was about to reach the vicinity of his hand, so he hastily sped up his speech and told everything in a single, baleful breath.
The other side turned out to be from inside the Bronze Gate!
Saul got interested at once, knowing that time was running out, he stopped asking questions and stretched out an arm to the grumbling hand.
“Come here.” The arm was so happy that it jumped up with hard fingers, “My lord, I will stay honestly in your arm, and you can tell me anything you need.”
Stay in the arm …… solve needs?
Saul suddenly came up with this odd thought, then drawled, “No, I have my own place for you to stay.”
As soon as his words fell, the journal suddenly unfolded, intercepting and grumbling hand as he had intended.
But unexpectedly, the diary didn’t give the spiteful arm a separate black page, but instead directly incorporated it into the black page that was only two-thirds of its size.
As a result, the mutilated pages were made up in Sol’s eyes at a very fast speed, becoming a complete black book page.
“This …… arm won’t also become that crazy person, right?”
Saul had just put away his grudge hand when he heard someone approaching.
He turned around in a hurry and was shocked to see a palm-sized silver butterfly pulling on an old man’s collar with its tiny tentacles.
She was flying with great difficulty, and several times she almost threw the man into the sea of blood.
But she continued to persevere, and finally dropped the man on top of Rissole in the bell tower without incident.
As soon as Saul caught the person, he flipped over and saw that it was – old madman?
Nightmare Butterfly Penny was so weak at this point that she couldn’t even maintain Penny’s appearance.
Waves of blood poured into the house, flowing from all around to the center. They quickly flowed onto the already dead Angela and scrambled to engulf her.
It was also Angela’s body that bought Saul a few minutes.
“I’ll open the door now, please take my brother out as well.”
“Brother?” Saul was taken aback, he looked at the old madman and suddenly realized something, “He’s the one who’s Ada?”
“Yes.”
“Then the Ada I saw before ……”
“Just someone whose brother’s memories I overwrote.” Penny said without a care in the world.
“Ada …… brother has been taking care of me for too long, and the radiation he’s been exposed to is beyond the limits of a normal person. But I had to stay in Penny’s body and follow him all the time in order to hide from that wizard out there.”
“Then when I regained some of my strength, I found someone to replace him. Only let my brother follow me around. Unfortunately, my brother’s mental state was always bad, and he would often go back to the night our village was destroyed. Back to the night he left you alone in the village.”
“It turns out that the destruction of the village by the barbarians that the old madman kept shouting about was the same thing that destroyed the body village that Solara was in.” Although he had not experienced that painful night, he was also frustrated now that he thought about it.
“Please take him out of here, I will take away his most painful memories. You don’t need to take care of him, just give him a little bit of money so he can be in a normal town and move on with his life.”
Butterfly levitated hard into the air, facing Saul, but keeping his eyes on the old madman.
This old madman, no, Ada had really become the only survivor of the whole village, the one he thought was his sister, the one he thought was his old townsman, had long since died in a different corner, rotting and molding.
“I’m sure I can’t stay in the same person’s body for too long ah, how did something like feelings get into me? I must have been contaminated.”
Saul heard Penny murmur.
At that moment, having devoured Angela’s body, the waves of blood began to come back towards the center of the room.
Knowing that there was no time left, Penny suddenly flapped her wings, reversed her direction, and slammed into the crystal ball overhead with all her might.
“Haha, Kismet, even after you’ve captured me and chased me for so many years, I still won’t let you win!”
When the seemingly hard crystal ball was hit by the fragile butterfly, it unexpectedly shattered into pieces with a clatter, shooting out in all directions.
At the same time as the crystal ball shattered, the silver-colored butterfly was also like a crystal, breaking apart inch by inch.
The key to open the only escape route of the cursed city was actually Penny’s life!
In a trance, Saul seemed to see an extremely illusory cute girl standing opposite him, smiling at him.
“Ridiculous fate, the power to peer into the past has ended up in the hands of a young apprentice who isn’t even a full-fledged wizard.”
“Run away immediately after you leave, don’t get caught by Kismet, and don’t say anything related to me! Otherwise …… you will become the one with the shortest tenure among the historical observers.”
