Chapter 62 A Moment of Life and Death
A promise is an extremely romantic choice, but the waiting before fulfilling the promise is the most hesitant and torturous.
The temperature of the sumptuous meal on the table gradually dissipated.
The person who lit the candle in front of the table went from full of expectations to candle tears accumulating, and the candlelight was dim and swaying. She realized that the person who promised to come back had broken the promise. At this moment, the moth moon was hanging high, but Lin En did not come back.
Sophia seemed to be fixed on the chair, motionless.
Like a statue that gradually lost its vitality, looking down at the dinner she carefully prepared but cold, Sophia's cut fingers appeared like an ominous omen under the candlelight.
She knew that Lin En was not the kind of person who broke the promise...
What happened?
There were not many people in the [Steam City] who dared to provoke the [Suppression Bureau]. Even Elba, who was riding on people's heads to enforce the law, sometimes gave in to the [Suppression Bureau]. Sophia had been on the streets for so long and knew who could be attacked and who could not be provoked.
If Lin En really had an accident, it would not be something she could solve.
What should she do?
Just as Sophia was in a panic, the glow of the moth moon behind her that was projected into the window suddenly twisted and flickered, and the suddenly shaking shadow twisted and magnified, and slammed directly on the window with a bang!
…………

Time moved forward and returned to the dusk.
In the dim afterglow of the setting sun, when Lin En's spirituality all over his body jumped together to trigger a life-threatening warning, he did not react at all. It was like being frightened, all emotions faded at this moment, and the decayed and terrifying figure caught a glimpse of the corner of his eye was just a faint sigh in his heart.
This is not normal!
Lin En yelled in his heart.
'It's very abnormal, I should be scared to death, how could this happen, I can't feel anything, even death! ? I have to get away, I have to go home, Lin En, move quickly! ’
Just as Lin En watched the sharp razor swing down, and he fell into a state of despair and waiting to die, a frivolous and loving snicker suddenly sounded in his ears. The laughter contained a demonic nature that ordinary people could hardly understand. Lin En's heart, which had been close to silence, was forcibly encouraged by the Black Holy Grail at this moment!
Lin En's originally emerald eyes turned red, and the rotten desire burst out from the wasteland like a dead tree in spring. The red eyes that were no different from the Black Holy Grail bred a desire that made people tremble with fear! That was a primitive instinct that had never existed in this world and was beyond the imagination of all life!
Crack!
At the moment when the razor claws swung down to cover the prey, Lin En's legs broke against the joints, and the whole person avoided the claws in an extremely twisted and weird posture.
Joints were reversed, muscles twisted, heart beat wildly, and hands were waving and fists were thrown.
It was as if the devil possessed him in an instant. It was completely out of instinct. Lin En, whose eyes were strange and scarlet, threw a punch that was like a firecracker that exploded, and hit the rotten humanoid monster's chest.
There was a dull bang.
Feeling as if his punch had hit an oak tree, Lin En staggered with the help of the reaction force, and ran forward without hesitation with his hands and feet. The whole person's running posture was as curious as a ghost in a horror movie. The crazy warning from the spirit and the dangerous low hum of the Black Holy Grail were telling Lin En that he was definitely not an opponent!
Run! Run for your life!
The [Demon Spirit], who was bitten back by the prey that was about to be caught, let out a hoarse and terrifying roar.
What happened on the street in just three seconds, the pedestrians had no idea what happened. They turned around and saw a monster with rotten muscles all over the body and various organs exposed, rotten and elongated on the street.
That was the thing under the bed, the horror between the graves, the existence that all humans instinctively fear and hate.
The next moment, piercing screams and collective panic broke out.
The scarlet in Lin En's eyes faded after he ran two hundred meters away. He subconsciously looked back and saw that some people who were running around like headless flies were caught by the abominable [Demon Spirit].
The dark features looked at Lin En from a distance, and its sharp claws stabbed deep into the belly of the innocent. As if telling Lin En that it would never let him go, the rotten monster that cut open the abdomen of the innocent and disemboweled him feasted on it, and then disappeared into the air little by little with a dazzling red color.
A cunning and tricky monster that hides in the spirit world, can flexibly lurk in the surface world, and can hide back at any time.
That is the [Demon Spirit].
When Lin En was about to forget it, the monster that greedily sniffed the taste of the living came quietly and almost disemboweled him.
Looking at the hollowed-out corpse of the deceased on the empty street, Lin En's face turned pale and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He subconsciously touched his stomach.
It was flat and intact, but a week ago, it had been in close contact with the sharp claws of the demon spirit. The demon spirit would never give up if the prey that was obviously dead was resurrected again. There will always be a time when it can taste the fresh and tender internal organs of the marked prey.
Lin En, who survived the catastrophe again, felt cold all over. Only the faint resentful murmur of the Black Holy Grail in his ears could make him feel the real touch. The beautiful and beautiful Black Holy Grail that was called out hugged Lin En from behind, telling him that the hidden danger of decay was gradually gone.
He was safe, temporarily.
[Suppression Bureau] The speed of this time was very fast.
The disturbance from the star realm directly attracted a minister from the [Timepiece Tower] branch and quickly rushed to the scene. After the minister in uniform took control of the scene, he learned that Lin En was the clerk of the [Lamp Holder] and immediately Ask your subordinates to contact you for verification. At the same time, he also checked Linn and made sure that there was nothing wrong with Linn, so he asked him to go aside and take care of him.
The hidden [evil] seemed to not exist during the inspection, and it was still not noticed by others.
The Black Holy Grail's disdainful moans make people want to overflow with desire.
Lin En stood dumbly under the gas street lamp as if she had been frightened, staring blankly ahead with her green eyes. The fear of death, the guilt of innocent people, the anger towards oneself, strong emotions boiled in the heart, brewing an especially strong and sweet poison in the Black Holy Grail.
"Lynn!"
Suddenly, the shout pulled Linn back like a puppet, and he saw Bill standing in front of him, with a smiling expression full of worry. He seemed to have called Linn more than once.
"Thank God, you're okay." Bill looked at Lynn who had no obvious trauma and breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and shouted. "Doctor! There's also a carriage, this way!"
A little further away, Yevni was talking to the uniformed minister.
"You actually let my subordinate stand under guard for a long time after being attacked? I can tell you that this is the second time he has been attacked by demon spirits, and he has passed the furnace test long ago!" Yevni's face glowed under the light. With a trace of anger, this heroic female knight burst out with a powerful spirit like protecting a cub after her subordinate was wronged.
Faced with Yevni's angry accusation, the uniform minister could only hold his nose and admit it.
"Now I want to take Linn away. The furnace is proof that you have no right to stop me. If you need cooperation in the investigation, please submit a paperwork application."
With a flick of her cloak and a hunting sound, Yevni brought her short-protecting side to the extreme.
