Chapter 7 Monster

Accidents are the best spice to a boring life for some people.

For individuals who like to maintain the status quo, accidents represent departures from the norm and are often inseparable from chaos.

Esther doesn't hate accidents, but she hates troubles, such as the current situation.

Blood as crimson as the full moon tonight is spreading on the ground, staining the soles of Esther's shoes. The victim is a young girl, her thin limbs are weirdly twisted outwards, and there is a hole in her chest and abdomen exposed to the air.

His organs were being torn apart by the monster.

The monster was still laughing. Its body was covered with cracks, like a ceramic puppet that had been smashed and then glued back together. Through the cracks, you could even see the pulsating muscle fibers underneath.

However, Esther relied on her intuition to recognize that it was the leader of the famous pickpocket gang in Iron Cross Street, a middle-aged man named Brick. He was killing a group of orphans and teaching these young and helpless people.

Children stole and then threatened with fists and bread to hand over the proceeds to satisfy his daily expenses, alcohol addiction and lustful desires.

There were a few children huddled together in the corner. They were shivering and didn't even dare to cry. Their eyes were full of despair. Although Brick usually punched and kicked these children, he never really

Kill them, after all, you can't make money from dead people. Today's situation is different, he seems to have completely lost his mind.

How did Brick become a monster? Esther didn't know, but she knew she had been discovered.

The monster looked back at her, his eyes were scarlet, glowing coldly under the crimson moonlight. There were very few "human" features on his face. His lips and nose were swollen, as if they might burst at any time, leaving behind

A hole dripping with blood.

Esther wanted to just run away. It was none of her business how many people died anyway, but the eyes of those children longing for redemption made it impossible for her to just leave the scene just like that under the urging of the little bug.

They will all die, but at least I still have some agility and flexible fingers, so I can fight for a while.

In the final analysis, she just heard screams near the back door of the bakery in the middle of the night. For fear of affecting Wendy, she put on her coat and came out to take a look - it was better not to watch and leave the murder to the police the next morning to worry about. Living in

Everyone in this area knows the principle of survival of minding their own business, and Esther certainly knows it too, but the scream made her heart palpitate so much that she couldn't ignore it.

So she got into trouble.

Esther dug out the razor blade that she had found in her purse. She had been carrying it with her since she met the gangster. In order to detect the screams here, she even had a kitchen knife on her lower waist.

It's over, if I can still survive, this broken kitchen knife will definitely be useless after cutting the monster, and next week's salary will also be gone.

Esther's face instantly darkened. She originally wanted to use the salary to order newspapers and try a delicious little restaurant near the Night Church.

It’s all in vain!

The monster Brick turned into seemed to be wary of something, and it delayed charging towards Esther, but the children behind him were blocked in the alley, unable to escape at all.

Esther decided that she would break the deadlock and create opportunities for several children to escape first.

The cold blades flew through the air. With just the right control of her wrists and fingers, Esther successfully ejected the two blades and stabbed them into the monster's face. The accuracy was better than she expected.

The monster roared after taking pain, raised its legs and rushed towards Esther. Esther led him out of the alley, ran to the street, and shouted to the dumbfounded children behind him: "Run!"

!Run far away! Grab your friends! Hurry!"

After she confirmed that the monster had identified her, she ran another ten meters away. The main street was empty late at night. The crowded shops during the day had been put away, and there were only countless crates or wooden racks piled on the street.

On both sides, there are old houses with no movement and dark windows.

After the monster decided to run towards Esther on all fours, the distance between the two was quickly shortened. Following the instinctive warning, Esther suddenly turned around and ran in the opposite direction, quickly pulling out her hand.

He picked up the kitchen knife, and the not-so-sharp blade struck the monster's Tianling Cap hard, as if it had hit a hard brick.

This time Esther's hand was off. She could feel her limbs trembling slightly due to the surge of adrenaline. The kitchen knife failed to cut into the monster's eyes, but only cut into a piece of its skull, and then got stuck in its skull.

.

Bad luck! Bad luck! So bad luck!

Esther's heart was wildly echoing with various curse words in Rune language and Chinese and English, but she did not dare to stop her movements at all. She quickly stepped back and left the kitchen knife that could not be drawn on the monster's head. With the help of the monster

The moment of dizziness and severe pain, I once again distanced myself from it.

The children supported each other, and their little figures kept running, rushing to the other end of the street.

That's good, at least nothing will happen to them.

Esther kept picking up things along the street, bricks, gravel, half a board, a dead fish that was starting to rot, and anything that could be thrown. She led the monster in her direction without letting it go.

It noticed the children who were running away.

Her plan could not be said to be very successful, because the monster seemed to have a grudge against her, howling crazily in severe pain, staring straight at Esther, and charging in her direction.

Esther turned around and ran away, her legs landing on the ground alternately in a crazy manner. If she could run like this in the physical test in her previous life, she might have taken the physical education test long ago.

The desire to survive can indeed make people burst out with energy far beyond ordinary.

Esther didn't know how long the monster with its half-headed head could survive, but after all this time, someone should have rushed to the scene to help. Her special intuition told her this, and all she had to do was delay.

Time until someone who can help her arrives.

She didn't dare to use that special power. If she failed to deal with the monster, she would definitely be the weak one who would die. It was not the most desperate moment yet, and Esther felt that she could still hold on for a while.

When the monster's claws grabbed Esther's calf, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Just as Esther kicked the monster on the head and raised her hand, a chanting sound that seemed extremely weird at the time sounded. The low-pitched male voice was quite magnetic, and he read a poem that made Esther feel subtly familiar.

:

"Ah, the threat of fear, the crimson hope!

At least one thing is true: this life flies by.

One thing is true, the rest is a lie,

After the flower blooms once, it will die..."

There was a trance in the monster's eyes. The sound echoed in the deserted street, vaguely surrounding the two people, like a lullaby caressing a baby's eyelids. Something seemed to be floating in the wind, like a dark mass.

The knotted thin thread fell on the top of the monster's head, causing it to stop in place, closing its eyes in response to the chanting.

Esther felt sleepy in her body, but there seemed to be a tight string in her brain that prevented her from being affected at all. She kicked her twice viciously, pulled out her legs from the monster's claws, and stood up quickly

He ran to the base of the wall ten meters away and looked at this scene in amazement.

The little bug made no movement, did not give any instructions, and gathered itself as if it did not exist.

Esther gasped for breath. After dozens of seconds passed when the monster didn't move, her feet gave way and she collapsed on the ground. She leaned against the wall and had no strength to get up anymore. She shed tears because of the joy of surviving the disaster.

Full face.

Esther kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, crying and laughing at the same time.

It's great that she survived. Nothing is more important than surviving in this messed up world.

There were footsteps approaching from the corner of the street, and someone reached out to Esther. She raised her head and saw Miss Daly's face showing tender pity under the red moonlight.

Esther finally couldn't hold it in anymore, she rushed up and hugged Miss Daly, crying loudly in her sad eyes.

"It's okay, you did a great job, Esther. No one was hurt, you're okay."

Behind Dai Li, two harsh gunshots were heard, and the monster's breathing sound completely disappeared.

Esther subconsciously turned her head to look, but Dai Li pressed her head down: "Shh, it's okay, can you take a nap? You can have a good rest."

"Miss Daly..."

Esther no longer resisted the strong sleepiness that had just appeared. She closed her eyes and eased her breathing, letting her consciousness sink into darkness. Dai Li breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried that the ability to forcefully confront the captain would affect Esther's spirit.

Cause damage, after all, Esther has been acting quite ordinary.

If you are a person with extraordinary abilities, you will not be willing to work aimlessly in that small bakery, and you will definitely pursue the goal of improving your order. After communicating with the people at the Night Church, Dai Li learned from Langsa and

Pastor Lost learned about Esther's situation and knew that this smart girl went to church every week to study seriously. Since Esther could frequently go in and out of the church, the power of the goddess of night's protection did not respond, and the nighthawks who occasionally passed by also did not respond.

No abnormality was found in her, which meant that Esther was basically no threat.

Dai Li listened to the feedback from nearby spirits. She had just been promoted to a psychic last year and was still familiar with her current power. But it was precisely because of the spirits that were left near the bakery to monitor the movement that Dai Li could immediately shout

Get on Dunn and arrive at the scene in time to save Esther.

A man wrapped in a long black windbreaker with black hair on his back showing a high hairline came over. His gray eyes kept scanning the scene without seeing any traces left by others: "Daly, how is the girl you mentioned?"

?”

"She fell asleep. The child must have been frightened. The person on the ground seemed to be a prisoner?"

"Well, it should be less than Sequence Seven, otherwise I may not be able to control his loss of control."

Daly patted Esther's head gently: "I hope this incident will not leave a shadow on her..."

Dai Li's eyes were full of pain. She recalled her experience of joining the Nighthawks, saw Esther who was younger than herself, and recalled Esther's collapsed expression just sitting on the ground crying and laughing.

Dai Li couldn't help feeling sad.

"Captain! Ms. Daly!"

The man called captain nodded: "Leonard, did you find anything over there?"

The green-eyed young man looked very unhappy. He covered his mouth and felt uncomfortable in his stomach: "There is a murder case. I may need to ask Ms. Dai Li for a psychic. A little girl was killed. The other children ran away.

It should be because the out-of-control person was lured away, and you can see the mess of those footprints at the scene."

"What a sin..."
