Chapter 152 Sad and Pitiful

Why did only five people die in the face of the sons and daughters of the skeleton?

Why did the two people who "suffered a huge mental shock and went mad on the spot" died because of their "severe injuries"?

Does it mean that the brain is too damaged? Or did they know too much and were secretly executed?

This is a question that Annan has been puzzled by before.

Now Annan finally understood.

It's because the two people who were hit by the dirty blood bomb suffered the injuries of everyone else.

"So, you were also..."

"yes."

Joseph nodded: "The bullet suddenly appeared in front of me, flowed back, penetrated my chest and back, and was sucked back from my back.

"That's when Amos stole my curse bearer. The two people who were hit in the shoulder and arm didn't pass out. Amos appeared behind me and took my bracelet... ...I don't know why, he's taking such a risk.

"But just to steal my bracelet, he was driven by Hiram and hit him in the stomach with a throwing knife. Then I passed out.

"It is said that in the later development, Amos called his 'painters' to cover him, and the police officers were dragged in place. Fortunately, Amos had no medical knowledge... Before he escaped, he drew his flying knife went out. This caused a lot of blood loss and could no longer escape the dogs - although he didn't escape either..."

The wizard who didn't know how long he had lived sighed.

"I'm alive now, all because Hiram arrived just in time to save me. A police officer who was shot in the stomach, he's not rescued, but he didn't die immediately...that's the delay. For a short period of time, Hiram can transfer my injury to him in time."

I see.

Annan understood.

Joseph was hit in the back by a dirty blood bullet... He was able to survive thanks to Hiram's emergency milk.

Without this milk, Joseph must be cold by now.

"And then what?"

Annan asked.

Hearing this, Joseph's expression became a little strange.

"later……"

He was silent for a moment, and then replied: "When we got rid of the entanglement of those magic paintings, Amos was gone.

"But for some reason, after he trapped us, he was running up. So no matter how long we were trapped, he couldn't escape at all. And his internal organs were damaged, and he didn't heal that at all. capacity for injury.

"To be on the safe side, we still formed a formation and carefully searched forward layer by layer. But we never encountered other traps after that. Until we reached the top floor and went to the rooftop..."

Speaking of which, Joseph paused slightly.

He said softly: "We saw the body of Amos.

"

...corpse?

Annan was stunned when he heard the words.

"Is it because of... visceral bleeding?"

"Certainly not."

Joseph replied with great certainty: "It took more than half an hour from when we were attacked on the fourth floor to when we found Amos' body. But his body has been dead for some time.

"Calculating from the time, when we were still on the fourth floor... Amos was already dead."

Mr Buckle said slowly: "The pistol in his hand had one last bullet, and the final cause of death was a dirty blood bullet that hit the heart. But the problem is, he was shot in the back... so we can only assume that , he was killed by an accomplice. And my bearer disappeared at that time.

"After that, we encountered the monster with colored flames. It was very scary... When it was not attacking, all our attacks could not hit it; and when it attacked, the people it attacked The consciousness will be completely eliminated - from before it launched the attack to the end of the attack, they have no consciousness or memory at all, and they are completely unable to struggle or resist...

"Fortunately, we have a lot of people. After a very hard battle, we used those two companions to share enough fatal damage to barely defeat it. But we couldn't really kill it, we could only seal it up.

"Fortunately, it doesn't have a strong desire to attack. When it was attacked by us, it was just crying, and when it attacked us, it didn't specifically attack the vitals. Its name is 'Angelo'...

"—We think it should be the unborn fetus in Ellie's womb."

Speaking of which, Joseph's voice was a little hoarse.

His voice was a little choked, and he cleared his throat lightly before continuing: "We sealed Angelo in the Frozen Water Harbor. As for where... even I don't know. For this scene to become an afterlife Nightmare, or the memory retrieved by the reincarnating wizard, the sheriff and I are responsible for half of the seal, and I am responsible for breaking up its soul and burying it in the ground. The sheriff is responsible for hiding its corpse."

"...So, the curse of Frozen Water Harbor is the nightmare of Angelo's transformation after his death?"

Annan couldn't help asking.

"Yes, Angelo is the curse that spreads on this land, but it has not completely died. The process of purifying this nightmare is the process of slowly destroying it."

Joseph smiled bitterly: "You can call me weak... Since then, I really haven't been decisive when I was young.

"I know that only by purifying the curse wrapped around Angelo's body can this matter be completely ended and Ally's resentment can be returned to the earth. But I...

"...I'm still a little reluctant. After all, it's the last proof that 'Ai Lei' has survived."

He sighed softly: "It's a lie to say that I don't care. I know that purifying the nightmare is good for Ellie, Angelo, and Frozen Water Harbor. I just... I hope that when I want to drink, I can return to the nightmare. Take another look at Ellie."

After listening to his words, the room was silent for a moment.

Annan watched the man.

Feeling Annan's gaze, Joseph sighed and turned his eyes away without a trace.

On the one hand, Joseph wanted to let Ellie rest in peace, so that "Angelo" who had his own blood in his body could simply die, and he would no longer be immortal, full of resentment, and stay in the world like a ghost. He also knows that nightmares are just afterimages left by past events, not real history, nor another world...

But on the one hand, he is still obsessed with this past and can't forget it.

Annan once asked Salvatore.

The sheriff had already left the frozen water port. It seems to have been promoted in the second year of the event, but it is unclear exactly where.

Now in the frozen water port, the last survivor who has experienced the incident... should be Joseph.

It must have been easy for him to purify this nightmare on his own, if he wanted to.

As for the nonsense saying that "there is no bearer on the body, and the power cannot be obtained by purifying the nightmare"... It should be just an excuse for self-deception.

The curse on him that he cannot travel far, and the sealed artifact he lost, are not completely unsolvable events. As his wizard tower mentor, if Joseph activated his personal connections, he would not have been trapped in Frozen Water Harbor for 45 years.

——Unless he didn't want to go by himself.

He wanted to see the nightmares cleaned up, but he didn't want to do it himself.

He doesn't prevent others from purifying nightmares, but he doesn't offer to help others either.   Because he wanted to end it all...but he couldn't forget it.   also doesn't want to say goodbye to all this.   Annan sighed.   Such a pathetic man.   Such a poor father.
