Chapter 9 In the Darkness

Tick, tick..."

In the darkness, only the sound of water could be recognized, and all the sounds mixed in were sad and strange, like low roars, crying, struggling, and rolling... He tried hard to regain control of his eyesight, and gradually, the bloody red color came into his eyes.

"Eve..."

He struggled to crawl in the direction of the red light, and there were puddles under him, and severe pain came from his head and body. After a while, he finally arrived beside the red light, but he still couldn't see anything. The light was just the light itself. It floated there like solidification, but could not illuminate anything. After a moment, he stretched out his hand with difficulty, imagined the gathering of power with his mind that was about torn apart. Finally, a cluster of fire lights appeared shakingly in the palm of his hand.

When he saw the human body emitting a faint red light, he couldn't help but take a breath.

The face still looked like Eve, but from her cheeks to her whole body, countless tiny scales were sparsely distributed, two huge bat wings were spread out behind her. At this moment, she was spread in the water stains, but it seemed like two large leaves that had withered. What was most terrifying was that in the place where countless young scales and two giant wings grew out, the body that had already hurt everywhere was now covered with cracks of all sizes, and blood stained her body, and at the same time, the water surface under her was also soaked into a pool of blood.

The mutation was ahead of schedule...

I have seen in the information that after being cursed, some people with strong minds can start early due to violent shaking of their mood when they are hurt, and temporarily ensure their own safety by obtaining the power of the demon. In a sense, this is also an automatic protection mechanism of the body. However, the curse itself is not complete. Once it becomes a demon, the torture it was originally suffered will burst out in a more severe form. The life that should have will be greatly shortened after this and collapse in the fastest form.

"Eve..."

He shook his body covered in blood and called her in a low voice, but the body lying on the ground only had a faint breath, and he called this three times. He placed his finger on the tip of the woman's nose and felt the intermittent breathing. Suddenly, the sweeping black shadow extinguished the fire, and an arm grabbed his neck like an iron pliers. Just as the suffocation came out, the hand also let go of him like lightning. With a "huh" sound, the faint red light quickly left him. Retreat to the stone wall in the distance, forming a curled figure.

"Eve."

"Ah, don't look at me, please... don't look at me..."

The woman's crying sound came from the opposite side. Her body curled up tighter between the stone walls. Tang Yi collapsed to the ground: "...Okay, I won't look at you... In fact, I don't have much strength to look at you..."

After a moment of silence, Eve's voice sounded again: "Ah. You... are you okay..."

"It's okay... my head hurts a little. I'm hitting the stalactite when I flew in. Compared to Eve, you..."

"I'm fine..." Before he could finish speaking, Eve's words were heard from the other side. After a while, he added with a strong emphasis, "It's really fine..."

Tang Yi was silent for a moment, and after a moment, Eve said again: "Ah, where are we?"

"I don't know..." In my memory, the distance after flying into the cave was as fast as the speed of light, and the woman who turned into a demon kept passing through the electric shock at the fastest speed, as if after countless twists and turns, she finally hit the obstacle formed by the stalactites. Then both of them lost consciousness. Where is this place? The only sound of water droplets is clear in their ears.

Eve's curse broke out early. The only way to deal with it at the moment is probably to go out of the cave before her body reached the collapse and find Mrs. Barbara for emergency treatment. Rubbing her head, which was like an explosion, he tried his best to get up: "Eve, do you still have the strength?"

“Um…”

"Let's find the way out quickly. My magic power is not much left, but... I just use it as a candle, I hope it can be outside the hole..." He said, reaching out and touching the last magic crystal placed on his body. Never put the egg in a basket. This magic crystal is his last hope for self-defense, so it's better to stay for the time being.

He stretched out his hand and tried to gather the remaining magic power in his body, like a battery, as if he had used up for a moment. After putting it down for a long time, he could gather some electricity again. But Eve suddenly shouted: "Al, don't...I don't want the fire..."

"But……"

"I...I can see the road...you follow me..."

After a moment, the blood-red shadow slowly invaded. One hand held his hand. He could feel the slightly cool scales in the palm of his hand. Then the hand took off some until he could no longer feel the scales on her body. The two of them just hooked their fingertips and began to move forward slowly. The surroundings were as dark as Hongmeng before the world opened, and there was only the dark red blood light in the world.

"Flowing along the water, it should be flowing towards the sea..."

"good……"

There was only the sound of ticking water in the wet cave. The two passed through low puddles. After a while, the road ahead was blocked by the water flow. At this moment, it was a near-sea place and the groundwater system was not surging. The demon was swimming in front of him, and Tang Yi followed the red light tightly. However, swimming was unable to grasp his own place after all. He was submerged from time to time than the water flow, and then was pulled to the water by Eve. After passing the water flow, it was a wet stone land, as if he wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Eve chuckled and said, "Although it can't fly...but the wings can be used to swim, haha... cough cough cough cough... um..."

"Haha...ha..." Tang Yi smiled and agreed, but he could clearly feel the trembling in the other party's speech. Is it the pain after the demonization? It was so painful that it was so difficult to even speak...

I don’t know how long I walked, but the feeling around me did not change at all, and it was still so dark and quiet. The only thing I felt was my weak body. They stopped beside a stone wall, and Eve asked Tang Yi to stay there, then walked not far away and jumped into the water with a "thump". The red light flipped in the water waves, and after a while, a fish faintly appeared in the red light.

The fish was placed on the ground in front of the two of them. When the red light separated, Tang Yi could not see it, and could only hear the sound of it flapping on the ground. Eve stretched out her hand from time to time and grabbed the jumping fish. However, no one could do anything to face the jumping fish. Magic flames could be used to drive fire, but they could not be used to cook. Tang Yi once tried that, no matter how small balls of magic flames would only burn objects to ashes after they met food, and if they were condensed and not released, there would be no surroundings.

To any flame warmth.

"Al..."

"Well. I would have liked to bring some food to you..."

He took out a purse on his body with some annoyance: "I originally prepared these for you..."

"Al..." Eve's voice was slightly choked.

"It's so tired and sleepy, Eve, do you think it's evening outside now?"

"Maybe it's day..."

"Well, let's sleep for a while..."

After a moment of silence, the two of them fell asleep against the wet wall. Their bodies were actually quite strong after being transformed by the giant gods. There was no need to be afraid of getting sick and colds. Eve naturally would not be afraid of these things. She woke up from the strange movements. I don’t know when. The red light and shadow were vaguely squirming in front of him, and he slowly opened his eyes. It took a while for that scene to be reflected in his mind.

"Eat..." With a slight sound, half of the fish's body kept shaking in the faint red light, and was constantly torn off, followed by the sound of chewing. Suddenly, the red shadow stopped, and Eve noticed Tang Yi who had woken up. After a slight shock, the remaining half of the fish was thrown out by her in shock, and then the red shadow's distance was gone.

The crying sound came from a distance: "Ah...you, don't be afraid...I'm so hungry...I...you don't be afraid of me..."

"...Ha, nothing, I've eaten raw land too." After a while of silence, Tang Yi smiled gently, supported her body and crawled into the darkness of the fish, and kept fumbled underground. Suddenly, Eve shouted: "Don't...Don't go forward, there is water..."

Then, the light of the dark blue earth appeared in the darkness, jumping on Eve's fingertips, illuminating a large area around him. In front of Tang Yi was already flowing from the underground river.

Looking back, the half of the fish was on the ground not far away. The dark blue flames created a strange atmosphere. However, under the illumination of this ball of light, Eve, whose body was covered with scales and bat wings grew from behind, seemed particularly strange at the moment. When the red light and dark blue were intertwined, the scales reflected a bit of light spots, which produced an extremely strange beauty. Perhaps different from the beauty in the general sense, but it was indeed beautiful. This was undoubtedly an alternative beauty that had never been seen in this world.

After a little startled, feeling Eve's embarrassment, Tang Yi turned around and picked up the fish and bit off a piece of fish in big mouthfuls. In the forest, he had long been accustomed to the scene of Xiaoxue eating raw meat, but it was the first time he had eaten it. The indescribable smell of blood flowed through his teeth. He tried his best to make a delicious look and chew it hard, and then swallowed it with a "gulp".

"Like... like a sashimi, look..."

"Al..."

The dark blue light fell, and Eve's faint throat sound came from the opposite side...

"Eve, can you use magic too..."

"I...I don't know, but that blue flame... Al, am I really turning into a monster..."

"No... Eve, I'm not lying to you. I swear by my personality that you are very beautiful under the blue flame."

"Al..."

"Believe me, it's really beautiful..."

Obviously he didn't believe Tang Yi's words, Eve was silent again, and after a long time he said, "Ah, do you say... will the devil go to hell after he dies?"

"Eve, don't talk about whether to die or not, as long as you can go out in time and find Teacher Barbara..."

"But I'm really going to die, Al..." Eve's deepest crying voice came from the darkness, "Al, tell me, they all said that the demons will definitely go to hell after they die, but I don't want to go to hell. I have never done anything bad. I have always prayed to Sinlos so devoutly, and I don't want to hurt anyone, but why... why is this...?"

"...Do you know? I kept thinking about a question after coming here..." After a moment of silence, Tang Yi spoke softly, "...How do you feel this world between different lives? For example, ants, we see ants mediocrely transporting things and storing food every day. What a pitiful life. If I were to work like that every day, I would definitely not be able to stand it. It would be better to die. But for ants, it must be a very happy life. When they look at us, they will definitely wonder why creatures live like this? Isn't that worse than hell? Humans will have a paradise for humans, and in demons, there will also be a paradise for demons. In any case, Eve, I believe that what is waiting for you must be paradise. You are the one who should be happy for the most. If not, then heaven is not worth looking forward to. Such a hypocritical paradise... I would rather go to hell with you..."

He could not find the suitable words of comfort, so that the original comfort turned into this. After a deep sigh, his hands were fiercely on the ground and shouted: "What Sinros! What human! What demon... What's wrong with this world!"

"Al..." A cry with joy came from over there, "Thank you..."

"Don't thank me! I can't do anything! But you must hold on. No matter what, if you can't hold on... then what hope does this world still have..."

"I will definitely work hard to hold on." Eve nodded there, then crawled over and picked up the half of the fish and ate it in his mouth. "I still want to find my heaven, that must be very interesting. I want to fly in the sky with lightning, swim in the magma, settle down in the deepest lava, and save all the people who accidentally fell into hell... Even if I want to be a demon, Al, I am a kind demon..."

"No, you are the kindest angel... I have never seen anyone kinder than you..."

"I'm not that greedy... It's enough for me to be a kind devil..."

When he woke up from the darkness again, a restless aura lingered in the cave. There seemed to be a messy sound in his ears, but it disappeared like an hallucination. The red light slept beside him with a trembling trembling, turning his body from time to time. At some point, a murmur came from the lips.

"Al...it hurts so much..."

"Eve..."

He knew Eve's perseverance, how great pain and torture made her cry even in her sleep? After a moment, a "rumbling" sound came, a little silver-white light flashed, and two huge bodies collided violently between the caves in the distance!
