09

All of a sudden, the bustling street was turned into an empty scene of "Silent Hill".

Around Loki and me, the street lights were bright and neon was gorgeous, and mobile phone advertisements were played repeatedly on the huge advertising projection screen, and the music echoed clearly and audibly in the sky above.

But there is no one.

It seems that this street, this city, and even this world, only Loki and I are left.

——It was even scarier than entering "that thing" last time.

And at that time, Loki borrowed divine power to protect him, but today he said that his borrowed divine power was almost exhausted.

In other words, we are about to become ordinary people who have entered horror movies and have no self-preservation ability.

"Okay, what should I do?" My scalp was numb.

Loki didn't have any sense of being in danger.

He glanced at me, then raised his eyebrows nonchalantly: "You still want the god of new media to follow his trail, and now he's coming to you on his own initiative, isn't it the same thing?"

It's not the same thing at all!

I prepare a full set of equipment and props to fight the BOSS, and the BOSS rushes to surprise me without warning, can it be the same!

Moreover, he became more and more troublesome every time.

I couldn't escape, so I had no choice but to follow Loki and walk forward.

Since absorbing full energy, BB has become extremely active.It held the glass of the petri dish with its small hands, and its eyes were wide open, unable to stop looking out.

"What the hell is he trying to do..."

I couldn't help muttering: "You chased me away again, and then you took the initiative to find me?"

Loki grabbed me suddenly.

I was startled, and just about to turn my head, he whispered: "Behind."

I turned my head following the sound, and saw the empty street, and I don't know when a figure appeared.

Not people, but "shadows".

At first, one or two white mist-like shadows appeared unsteadily, moving silently far away from us.

Immediately afterwards, there were more and more white "shadows".

Just like the "that thing" I saw in the school building on the homecoming day, all the shadows were blurred, probably in the shape of a human being, they seemed to be floating, or they seemed to be walking, dragging white silk behind them. Shaped mist, one by one, went straight forward in the same direction as us.

Loki and I were cautious, but the figures were different, they walked very fast.

One after another, they passed us by.

The music of various commercials echoed in the air, and apart from that, there was a dead silence around.

Such a scene...

It's too bad!

I couldn't stop the chills from the bottom of my heart.

When Loki sensed the appearance of the first "figure", he grabbed my wrist, enveloping you and me with a touch of divine power.

"Go ahead," he said, "and see where they go."

Where can I go?

Thinking about it carefully, unlike the state that can refract the real sunlight, the "that thing" in the silhouette state does not yet belong to the present world.

"I'm thinking."

I nervously swallowed my saliva: "These figures, probably haven't found the energy to connect with reality yet?"

The last "shadow" tried to link with me.

But this time, it was "that thing" who came to me on its own initiative.

That can only be...

"He wants to connect with me," I whispered, "but your divine power prevents him from finding me."

Loki tilted his head.

On his handsome face, the gorgeous neon reflected different lights, which made Loki's expression unpredictable.

"What do you think, Nicole?" he asked.

I could hear some encouragement in his tone.

"Divine power can counteract his power," I replied, "you first remove the divine power and let him find me."

"But BB's energy is full."

Loki reminded: "You can't transfer the energy that counteracts the transformation to BB."

Me: "...let's talk about it later, we're already trapped here anyway."

Here's the trick Meryl taught me: game dead end?Be reckless, what else can you do if you have no way out!

If I don't take risks, I could starve to death here.

Hearing my words, Loki frowned.

Of course he is not afraid of death, let alone danger.I even think that, in fact, Loki wishes I would say that.

"Okay."

The Nordic gods let me go without any hesitation.

"I have long wanted to see how He will contact you."

As Loki's palm left my wrist, a faint divine power disconnected.

The countless blankly forward figures on the street froze in place as if they had pressed the pause button.

I subconsciously paused.

The moment my breathing stopped, I slowly let out a mouthful of foul air——

All the "figures" turned their heads towards me in unison.

I:"……"

How should I put it, I feel a little regretful.

The figures that looked like white mist but had no entity had no line of sight, but I could still clearly feel their "line of sight" pointing at me.

Even the BB in my arms started to agitate, winked and cried.

I took a deep breath.

"You take your chance." I reminded Loki.

When the voice fell to the ground, all the "figures" rushed towards me.

I expected that the next scene would be "The Walking Dead" or "Resident Evil", the figure like a wave of zombies attacked me frantically, trying to devour me.

But the picture that actually appeared was countless white figures, "swallowed" by the non-existent matter in the void while moving towards me, one after another, before they touched me, they were distorted and deformed, from figures to pure white Something like fog, and then gradually formed a larger shadow in front of me——

A nearly three-meter-high, human-like shadow stood up in front of me.

He stretched out his "hand".

Just before he was about to touch me, Loki took a step faster than "that thing".

"Try it."

"I'd like to know what's going to happen next," Rocky said.

After speaking, he took my hand.

Following his strength, I raised my fingertips and touched the part of "that thing" that was similar to the palm of my hand.

The empty streets suddenly set off a huge wave of energy.

I could feel the formation of a gust of wind when the energy was canceled several times before, but there was no movement in the objective world.

But this time is different.

The strong wind blew from bottom to top, and my hair, clothes and backpack couldn't stop flying.If it wasn't for my other hand holding on to the satchel, the BB in my arms would probably be swept up into the sky.

In the fierce wind, I vaguely heard a sound similar to whining.

The huge "figure" was disintegrating, and turned into countless white ordinary shadows again.

Immediately afterwards, the muted world regained its human voice.

I heard someone talking, countless voices were mixed and chaotic, as if I was still in a street full of people, instead of being pulled into a deserted space by "that thing".

The voices are close and far away, some I can understand, and some I can't understand the meaning at all.

【————————————————————

【——鎴戠殑馑瘜——】

【——掴戠戠揂囨槑——】

【——You took them all away. 】

Gradually, I found patterns in it, and more sentences that I could understand came to my ears.

"It was humans who betrayed me first."

"I have nothing, and sooner or later I will go to the end of the gods."

"I am willing to accept your terms."

this voice...

I opened my eyes in shock.

Immediately afterwards, more one-sided conversations came along.

"The old gods are aware of your presence, but they don't know me."

"Even if your power is in my body, it will never be possible to merge with me."

"You need a body, not possessed, not expropriated, not parasitic, but—"

The biting wind disappeared inch by inch.

The voice also gradually decreased.

According to past experience, it is because the power of "that thing" has been offset by the divine power of the new god, and then turned into pure energy.

"almost."

Rocky reminded me: "I'm going to let go, you see what you should do?"

What should I do?

how could I know!

The BB in his arms was crying loudly, it had already stored full energy.

It cannot be transferred to BB, and I can feel that the divine power passed by Loki is also slowly passing away, obviously it has come to an end.

"It's almost gone."

Rocky reminds: "I count to three, one, two—"

Before San landed, he let go of his hand.

The Norse God staggered back a few steps, and before I could turn my head to observe his situation, I felt a force invade my body.

It’s not as mysterious as shown in the superpower movies, I didn’t feel pain, I didn’t feel out of control, and I didn’t have any headaches. When the pure energy slowly flowed in my body after the offset, I almost immediately understood what to do.

Since BB can store energy.

so can i

In theory, I should be more adaptable than BB.

This idea has just formed in my mind, there is no need to test it, and there is no confusion. I moved my consciousness a little, and the energy from the outside world gradually calmed down in my body as if it belonged to me.

Suddenly, I connected all the previous problems together.

Loki proved that I was indeed a god through my ability to transfer energy.

And I was born under special circumstances...

I, like BB, can store energy from "that thing" myself.

What about use?

I raised my palm, moved my fingers, and recalled the way Loki borrowed my divine power——

Nothing happened.

The energy entered my body as if it was gone.

Ok.

I was a little depressed: I thought I would be able to use divine power, awaken special abilities, and rise to a higher level of fashion like the god of new media from now on.

nonexistent.

I completely "digested" the energy of that thing, and the inexplicable pressure around me suddenly disappeared.

When I looked around again, I didn't know when I was already in the noisy streets of Los Angeles.

There are still bright lights and advertisements, loud music, and people coming and going. It seems that the empty city just now is completely my illusion.

As for Loki—

and many more.

I suddenly came back to my senses.

Just now Loki said that his divine power was exhausted, so he let go of me, and there was no more to say after that.

What about others? !

I panicked all of a sudden and looked around.

At a corner of the street, I caught a familiar figure from the back.

"Loki!" I turned and lifted my legs.

"Don't, don't come here!"

"what?"

I froze for a moment, but didn't listen to his warning, and went straight forward——

A black T-shirt, a gray hooded jacket, with a pair of simple jeans and sneakers underneath. This is Rocky’s outfit when he goes out, and I remember it very clearly.

Therefore, there will never be a mistake.

But when I walked around in front of him, what I saw through Loki's concealed gestures was a strange face.

Am I wrong?Impossible, if he made a mistake, how could he—oh.

I remembered.

He was in Aragorn's face for so long, I almost forgot one thing.

Rocky's original appearance was not like this at all, Aragorn's face was changed by him with divine power
