Chapter 370 Subconscious
Chapter 370 Subconscious
Collapsed buildings, desolate land, coagulated blood, and scattered bones, some human and some monster, but they were left here by death and it was difficult to tell the difference.
This was the third time Song Yi walked this road. He could still smell the blood from it, mixed with the smell of decay. Just the smell made Song Yi feel irritated.
He wanted to walk faster, but he was in the team. Unlike the three of them, he could not speed up or run as he pleased. He could only refer to the speed of most people and adjust his pace.
Song Yi didn't want to leave the team, but unconsciously, his fingers slowly curled up and moved closer to the cufflinks.
When Yan Changyue was not around, this thing gave him a greater sense of security, not out of trust, but on the contrary, out of fear.
There was no need to recall, Song Yi also remembered that when he first got this thing, he originally wanted to give it to Yan Changyue as a gift for his first job, but because of the name of the prop, he was unable to give it to her.
Although he kept it for his own use, with Yan Changyue's soul there, he was closer to Yan Changyue. Logically speaking, Yan Changyue should have had the greatest influence on him.
But this cufflink would always pop up, and it would cut off his connection with Yan Changyue, so he used his pocket money to specially customize a waist bag to store this kind of "strange" props.
When there is a mental danger, cufflinks can solve the danger, but when there is no danger, this kind of prop that will disturb the mind is the biggest danger.
Song Yi believed it, and he would not allow himself to be dragged into illusions on his own territory.
But as they moved forward, the sun was also moving, leaning from one side to the other. No knowledge of physics was needed to feel that time was passing slowly.
It was already afternoon, and they were not far enough away. If they did not speed up, night would fall before they reached the camp.
To be faster, not just for him.
Song Yi took a deep breath, took two quick steps, and came to Zhigui. Before he could speak, Zhigui said:
"If you encounter danger later, just follow the crowd and leave first."
Song Yi was stunned, and before he could speak his mind, he sensed a hint of something ominous in Zhigui's words, which became stronger within a few seconds.
"Is there any danger?" Song Yi asked.
At the same time, mixed with his voice, there was the sound of metal collision coming from behind.
Song Yi turned his head and saw Ying Rushi's figure. This man was working with Zhigui, one walking in front and the other guarding behind. Now they were attacked and were intercepted by Ying Rushi, who prevented it from getting any closer.
But what appeared from behind made Song Yi both surprised and not too strange.
It was also a monster, but compared to the ones we had encountered before, it was taller and its body was more twisted, as if it was made of broken bones randomly pieced together.
But it's true, you can see that the limbs are clearly visible, and even when standing, it uses two legs.
It seemed to be trying hard to imitate humans, which made Song Yi feel creepy. What was worse was that behind that thing, there was a clear dark color, which was a group of monsters.
In this situation, they had no way to retreat, and if they wanted to survive, they could only run forward.
"Damn it, this is a conspiracy! It's intentional!"
When someone cursed out loud, it instantly caused a response. The already high emotions did not need anyone to mobilize, only a little guidance.
Zhigui said: "Don't blame Yan Changyue, he is guarding the front, it is us... There is a problem at home, divide into groups and speed up."
With these words, even if someone was dissatisfied, they didn't say anything. The team fell into silence, but acted quickly.
Song Yi took two steps forward, then walked to the side, slightly turned sideways, and let the people behind him go first. Even though Zhigui mentioned that he could go first, he was still thinking...
There are still many humans in this team of stardust.
Subconsciously, Song Yi wanted them to go first and let himself cover their retreat. When he deliberately slowed down, Zhigui discovered that someone was not right. After a shout, Ying Rushi also realized it.
It just so happened that his delay shortened the distance between the two of them. After they got closer, Ying Ru immediately said:
"Go together."
Song Yi had no objection, he just wanted to cover the retreat, not to be fodder. However, in the face of Ying Rushi's laughter, he remained silent and did not respond. He just took out his knife and faced the battle in front of him.
It turned out that Yan Changyue's actions had left a mark on him unconsciously. He could not see the stardust clearly, but he subconsciously thought: "Humans are more fragile, let them go first."
They fought and retreated, but the one in the front was particularly difficult to deal with. Under its leadership, the monsters fought in a more orderly manner and refused to let go.
Song Yi was getting more and more annoyed as he fought. In his trance, he heard the voice again, as if it was right next to his ear. The low whisper was also mixed with the noisy electric current.
His movements were smooth, so he paused slightly. The monster seized the opportunity and rushed directly in front of him, grabbing Song Yi with its sharp claws.
Dead hand! Move! Move!
Song Yi bit his tongue, barely concentrating his mind, and swung his knife at the guy in front of him again. At the same time, the monster suddenly stopped, and his movements stopped on the spot without dodging.
"clang--"
The blade hit the monster's shoulder, and its body shook slightly during the attack, but only a light scratch was left, which did not break the defense.
Song Yi raised his knife again, and was about to strike the monster again while it was still motionless, when suddenly his throat tightened and Ying Rushi grabbed him by the collar from behind and dragged him to the front of the team.
"Let's go! That's a nightmare!" Ying said without stopping the movement of his hands. While dragging, Song Yisong stared at the nightmare in front of him. The thing was slowly closing its eyes.
He felt that this person was "taking personal revenge" and that he would be strangled to death by his teammates before the monster killed him.
"Let go, cough cough...let go!" Song Yi struggled hard, and the system that had been idle for a long time suddenly popped up a prompt without feeling upset.
"Dangerous target detected!"
"Dangerous target detected!"
"Player Song Yi, a dangerous target has been detected, please kill it!"
Along with the notification, a transparent line appeared in Song Yi's sight. He looked in the direction indicated and saw a frame emerging at the monster's location, circling it. It was exactly the same scene that would appear in the game when a target was selected.
Song Yi heard his own heartbeat again, and with it came a strong feeling of discomfort, as if something inside his body was shouting "no".
He turned around hurriedly, and in the increasingly sharp prompt tone, relying entirely on his intuition to give him the hint, he noted the irrationality and staggered to catch up with Zhigui.
The next moment, Nightmare opened his eyes again, kicked the ground with his claws, and jumped towards Song Yi and the others, swung his sharp claws downwards.
Song Yi had just turned around and hadn't yet steady his steps when this attack was aimed at his back. No one had expected it, and he was a step too slow to respond at this time.
He turned his head reluctantly in a panic and met Nightmare's eyes, a pair of dark green eyes. As soon as he raised the muzzle of his gun, he heard crying and shouting "Run"...
Song Yi pointed his gun upwards, against the monster's chest. A strong feeling suddenly surged up, and Nightmare's movements stopped. He was also slightly startled.
It was the sea of stars, still the same sea of stars, appearing in Song Yi's mind. Time seemed to slow down and no longer flowed by easily.
At this moment, on the other side, Yan Changyue had just finished reviewing the documents, picked up her coat, and was about to leave the study, but An Xiaochun, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly spoke.
"I was still thinking, it's really rare that I can see Lord Yan's selfishness in my lifetime. You trust him very much."
The words were incoherent, but both the speaker and the listener understood clearly that they were talking about the morning meeting and Song Yi's matter.
Yan Changyue chuckled and said calmly, "Yes, I believe him, because he is still alive, he will be fine."
