deformed bone

When that figure suddenly appeared, Calvin didn't have any defenses.

It was an old man with an unusually rickety figure, broken and decayed, as if it would fall apart into wet black mud in a second.

He just emerged from the air without warning, stood at the end of a long corridor, and then he looked at Calvin.

"Father……"

Calvin stopped abruptly.

He looked at the shadow in shock, and his mind suddenly went blank.

Doctor Holden was still wearing the suit he wore when he was buried, but the suit now seemed to have been soaked in mud and water, wrapping the old man's skeleton-like body like half-rotten kelp.

If there's anything in Dr. Holden's ghost that's the same as he was in life, it's his eyes.

Those eyes that contained pain and compassion were looking at Calvin firmly.

"Father!"

Calvin ran in the direction of Dr. Holden.

He didn't think about anything at all, he didn't think about why Dr. Holden suddenly appeared here, why he could suddenly see such real dead souls.

He's just overwhelmed by the dismal look Dr. Holden is now.

Calvin couldn't imagine what happened to the person he respected the most in another dimension he didn't know.

A few seconds later, Calvin had already arrived in front of Dr. Holden, and he couldn't help reaching out and grabbing him.

Calvin thought he would touch the air, or the slippery and cold shadow in the space created by "Red Deer", but to his surprise, he actually touched the entity of Doctor Holden.

The old man's skin was loose, dry, and cold, with an old and sick smell.

And the sad eyes he looked at Calvin seemed to be able to shed tears of blood—in fact, two lines of thick black and red tears did seep from Dr. Holden's undead eye sockets.

[Sorry, my child.Sorry, we have no choice...we have to correct the way...]

In a trance, Calvin heard a hoarse whisper from Doctor Holden.

A cold electric current rushed directly into Calvin's body and soul along the part where Calvin was in contact with Dr. Holden's body——

"Well……"

Calvin groaned, then fell down heavily.

"Calvin?!"

"Red Deer" narrowed his eyes, he walked slowly to Calvin and hugged him in his arms.

Calvin's body was as cold as ice, and a thin layer of frost floated on the surface of his skin.

"Red Deer" reached out and wiped away the frost, but Calvin's fingers felt a sharp pain when it came into contact with Calvin's skin, and a burning smell floated up.

"Red Deer" raised his eyebrows and quickly glanced at himself, there were scorched black marks on his fingers.

"It's kind of troubling."

"Red Deer" raised the corners of his mouth and muttered the above softly, as if he was really troubled by this.

Then he let go of Calvin and looked down the corridor.

Unlike Calvin, what he saw was not Dr. Holden, but a red door.

The door stood quietly in the middle of the hospital corridor, and Calvin fell to the ground the moment he touched the doorknob.

As a former creature inside the door, "Red Deer" certainly couldn't think of the red door as an ordinary door model.

He felt a little shocked, because he thought that by coming into this world with Calvin's permission, he could already get rid of that dull and dark world.

But the appearance of "Gate" seems to mock his childishness and innocence.

A few seconds later, the door became blurred and transparent in the air without warning, just like when it appeared, and finally disappeared in an instant.

"call……"

Just as the "door" disappeared, Calvin moved slightly on the ground.

He opened his eyes and stood up slowly.

If it was normal, "Red Deer" would have already put on Reed's mask and hugged Reid, but this time he just put his hands in his pockets, standing aside and calmly staring at the beautiful girl with snow-white wings in front of him. youth.

The two of them looked at each other in the silence, and there was a cold silence in each other's pupils.

Calvin's pupils became very clean and pure, as if inorganic purple gemstones were inlaid in the eye sockets.

His skin was snow-white, without a trace of blood.

The frost-like substance that had burned "Red Deer" seeped into his skin, making him look more like a living marble statue of an angel than a living human being.

Calvin only glanced at "Red Deer" before turning his gaze to the other side of the corridor.

Something very vivid awoke within Calvin's body.

Cold and pure power seemed to replace the blood flowing through his veins. Many times before Calvin would feel pain because of this unusual state, but it was probably because he had used it many times in the past few days." Little by little, he began to adapt to the ripples left in his body, or in other words, reacquainted with the reappearance of that "power" in his body.

And it was at this time that he suddenly realized that the mysterious power restraining the "Red Deer" did not actually come from this weird church, Yi Ang, but from himself.

The thing in St. Mary's Church Hospital just woke him up, and his "power" subdued "Red Deer" unconsciously.

Calvin knew he should probably remain happy that after all he had endured for so long, he had finally found a way to deal with Red Hart.But the reality is that the emotion of being happy is so far away from him, as hazy as a mirage far away.

Well, this isn't the first time this has happened.

Calvin thought with astonishing calm.

His humanity has become extremely indifferent and thin under the washing of the "power" in his body...

He is Calvin, but in the same way, he is also the "power", the "el", some kind of higher being.

The soul of that weak human male was slowly pushed out into the depths of consciousness by His power.

Although he has been struggling, he is so weak in the face of absolute strength.

The environment around him has not changed much, it is still so quiet, old and oppressive, but he feels that all this is very far away and very ordinary.

Even the "Red Deer" guarding his side became irrelevant【No he is important, I must save those people from his body】.

"Calvin, who are you now?"

He heard the other party's question, and then he turned to look at him.

At first, what He saw was a tall male human.

But with the further surge of "power", the shadow hiding under the human shell became invisible in His bright vision.

It was a dense fog that was constantly wriggling and changing shapes, or some kind of tentacles with illusory shapes.

Many different faces appeared alternately in the center of the thick fog, most of them looked weak and dripping with blood, like a mass of stomach contents that hadn't had time to fully digest.But one of the faces was quite clear.

【"Red Deer"】.

The name came to his mind.

Along with that came the complex emotions that filled the depths of being Calvin.

He carefully examined those emotions and thoughts, and recognized that most of them were disgust and fear, but there was also a considerable degree of confusion and hesitation...and a little nostalgia.

"What did that guy do to you? Are you still conscious?"

"Red Deer" stared at Calvin and continued to ask questions.

However, in fact, what he really needed was not the answer from the other party.

While the humanoid creature was staring at him, "Red Deer" had roughly guessed what it was.

"Well, if you don't want to, you don't have to answer."

"Red Deer" slowly took a step back.

The expression on his face gradually became indifferent and mocking.

If the other party was Calvin, "Red Deer" wouldn't mind playing some boring games of affection with him, but if the person occupying him was something else, "Red Deer" would no longer need to hide his true face.

He was aware of the hostility of the "Red Deer", and even had a hint of indifferent doubt in his heart because of it.

In his view, this shell-dispelling human consciousness, that human being named Calvin, is just the object of wanton play and torture by that dark creature, but now, "Red Deer" is dying because of the temporary fading of that weak consciousness. There was a strong sense of antagonism against him.

"I can kill you."

He whispered to "Red Deer".

But this doesn't mean that He really pays too much attention to the "Red Deer".

That man is like a shadow that appeared in a dream, a passerby who passed him on the road [no, he is dangerous]. He may have been very powerful, but at this moment it is only him who occupies this body, and he knows I can press that vain and distorted soul back to where it should be, although that may lead to the physical death of that man [I do not allow it]...

He chose to ignore the little cry in the depths of his soul.

The thing that awakened him and called him in the Santa Maria Church Hospital was the destination of this trip.

The strong attraction even made him want to abandon the two bulky legs directly, and he instinctively wanted to return to a more comfortable state - a ray of light, an invisible cloud of thought, a flash of lightning.

But this world bound him, wrapped him with this fragile human body.

"Don't get in my way."

He continued.

After he gave up his plan to wipe out "Red Deer", the little soul in his consciousness quieted down.

"Red Deer" raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but glance at the "merciful" Him again, and then smiled.

He stepped back a few steps, and stayed far behind him, showing with his actions that he would not get in the way.

And he began to walk towards his goal without distraction.

Without any doubt or trouble, He walked very fast, as if he already knew the way to get there.
