For Calvin, everything he experienced was chaotic and hazy.

Although at that time, the power he felt... and the fear and despair when he came into contact with the door were so unforgettable, but once he returned to reality, everything before him began to fade rapidly.

Everything in the psychedelic world: light, power, disintegrated self, doors, tentacles and slime... all seem to be a dream, or hallucinations produced under the influence of drugs.

However, this is not the case for Fogg and other personalities in reality.

After all, what they have to face is a loved one who suddenly melts and dissipates in their arms.

Let's turn back the clock a little bit—to the moment when Calvin kisses Fogg.

At that time, Fogg was almost about to be pulled from his body to the depths of consciousness by the "Red Deer" again.And his companions (of course Fogg never admitted that they were companions too) were covered in wounds and dying.Red Deer could easily hurt its own branch personalities. After all, no matter how complete Fogg or Vigilie are, they are still just a few separated fragments of the main personality Red Deer.And if the Red Deer (or Reed to call him more clearly) is a tyrant to the other personalities, then the "Red Deer" who creeps into the world from behind the door is the real devil.

Even the personality "Messer", which was specially designed to endure pain, was on the verge of collapse under the torture of "Red Deer", let alone other personalities.

If it weren't for the strong and almost morbid love and obsession with Calvin in the depths of his soul, I am afraid that even Fogg would not be able to last that long...

Fogg almost thought he was saying goodbye to Calvin forever.

However, Calvin kissed him so arrogantly.

Relying on skin-to-skin contact, saliva-to-saliva exchange, that terrifying force surged into Fogg's body.

Like a torrent breaking a dike or a tsunami, that force pierced into Fogg's body with a strong light.

After a shudder, Fogg clearly felt that "Red Deer" was melting in his consciousness and body.

His internal organs seemed to be boiling, pain and warmth wrapped around his nerves at the same time.

This is...a higher level, non-human power.

That power drove out the Red Deer.

Fogg knew this, but also, the too bright light caused him serious injury.

Fogg felt that he should be burned, but after being burned to death, his body seemed to have been washed by ice flow, every cell and every drop of blood was completely frozen.

Fogg felt dizzy, stabbed, and couldn't see clearly. After encountering all this, he instinctively wanted to hug Calvin in his arms...

But he fluttered.

In just a split second, Calvin disappeared in his arms like that.

The light that was so bright that it was impossible to see things disappeared suddenly with the disappearance of Calvin.

Fogg had to forcibly pull Vigili to the surface of consciousness - in Fogg's view, the latter has almost no advantages, only his special ability is considered valuable.

Virgil can "see" things that ordinary people cannot see, and now is the time for him to use this ability.

Fogg's judgment was not wrong. After Virgil replaced him and occupied the dominance of the body, he finally "saw" Calvin again.

It's just that Calvin's situation is ten thousand times worse than Fogg thought...

In Virgil's sight, Calvin was as ethereal as a ghost about to dissipate, his form sometimes condensed and sometimes dissipated.

What Virjili would never miss was the slime and tentacles wrapped around Calvin's body...that was the monster from the deepest part of the "gate".

Calvin is being dragged into the real "gate".Once upon a time, Vigilie had seen Red Deer do this. Compared with being dragged into the door with the consciousness and soul, being swallowed by the "door" in the form of a body is a thousand times or ten thousand times more terrifying experience than the former.

At that time, seeing those boring and humble human beings being swallowed up bit by bit, Vigilie's mood was extremely calm, not even happy or excited (he prefers blood and wailing, even if it is judged by other personalities as having poor taste It doesn't matter), but he never imagined that one day he would actually witness the same thing happen to his angel.

However, Vigilius did nothing...he didn't have the power to control and guide the "door".

In fact, of all the personalities, only Reed has that ability.

Only him.

Without hesitation, Virgili relinquished control of his body, just as Fogg had done, and he pulled the red deer into it.

For the first time in his descent into the depths of the ocean of consciousness, Vigilius remains willing.This is rare for him - even against his code of existence.

All personality fragments are the concentrated expression of the overly strong morbid emotions of the main personality.

It is precisely because of this that whether it is Fogg or Virgil, or even Histu and Messer, they are destined to be full of resentment and the desire to kill.

This is the basis of their existence, and it is also fundamental.

But in this moment...

In Virgil's mind, there is no struggle, no struggle, no jealousy, hatred and killing intent towards the dominant personality.

Only pray.

Pray that the loathsome personalities will wrest their angels back from that filthy and twisted space.

The moment he and Red Deer passed by in his consciousness, Vigily suddenly looked at him uncontrollably...

He was suddenly shocked to realize that the images of himself and the other party had become extremely similar.

……

And then……

"I don't know what that guy did, but when I woke up, you were in my arms."

Vigily said to Calvin.

"Wait, you mean..."

"You were being dragged into another space by 'him', you know, behind that 'door'. I think that guy Reid probably managed to snatch you back from the guy."

Virgil suddenly sighed, he seemed a little unwilling, and his tone was very low.

"I hate to admit it, but it's true that only he can save you."

What Vigilie didn't say was that since he opened his eyes and realized that he had regained the dominance of his body again, he had no way to contact Red Deer and Fogg again.

The feeling of being completely out of touch made Vigili feel very uncomfortable.

Calvin glanced at Virgil in a daze.

In a trance, he felt that the other party seemed to have changed something.

If the same words were spoken by the young and sweet Vigili before, I am afraid that Calvin would only think that the other party was making a silly joke.

After all, not everyone will believe this kind of thing—being pulled into another dimension by mysterious power, then dissipating, and finally turning into a light or something—but now Virgili has an inexplicable and convincing feeling strength.

He's sort of like Reed, no, or Fogg...

Calvin curled up his knees, and then he rubbed the bridge of his nose heavily with his fingers, trying to clear his mind.

Faintly, a face appeared in his memory.

It was... Reed's face.

Before he returned to reality, the last scene he saw in that alien world seemed to be Reed talking to him behind that door.

Wait, is that Reid?

Calvin felt a dull pain in his temple, and a strange pain slowly filled his whole body, as if his body itself refused to recall the past.

"Don't think about it anymore, this is your protection. When you think of that 'door', the 'door' can also touch you."

Virgil's attention had been on Calvin, and he could easily spot what Calvin was recalling.

By the time he found out, the words had already come out of his mouth involuntarily.

"What does it mean?"

Calvin was taken aback and asked.

"You are aware of 'it' and 'it' exists."

Virgil replied subconsciously, and then his eyes suddenly widened.

"Wait a minute...how do I know this?" Vigili murmured.

The young liar was a little surprised to realize that there seemed to be many things in his mind that he had never known before.

This seems to be... another person's memory?

A thought slipped through Virgil's mind, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot.

But on the surface, he still showed a perfect ignorance.

He stared blankly at Calvin, showing a somewhat dazed look.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Calvin, I'm also confused now, I don't know what happened."

Calvin smiled weakly at Virgil.

"I think so do I. My head..." He stretched out his finger and drew a circle around his temple. "It's like a paste right now. Damn it, my head hurts."

At this moment, a curious gaze came from the door.

Calvin looked towards the door, just in time to meet the curious eyes of the little girl who woke him up earlier.

"Brother Angel!"

The little girl showed an extremely sweet smile when Calvin noticed her.

"..."

On the contrary, Calvin was at a loss in front of the little girl's smile.

"Hey, hello..."

he replied dryly.

After a few seconds, he realized belatedly that the little girl in front of him was none other than one of the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

It wasn't until this time that Calvin finally remembered what the uneasiness that had been circling faintly in his heart was.

The terrified Mrs. and Mrs. Smith in the basement, and the pastor Crowe lying in the bathtub whose life and death are uncertain——

That's the bloody mess that "Red Hart" left Calvin.

"Oh my God, the Smiths—"

Calvin almost jumped out of bed, but Virgili held him firmly at this moment.

"Don't worry honey, it's settled."

He said.

"solved?"

"Yes, it's resolved."

Speaking of the Smiths' family, even people like Virgil could not help showing a little weird expression.
