Synthesis of Terror: On the One Thousand and One Ways of Death of the Protagonist

The author has something to say: the next chapter will end this world, well, I suddenly don’t want to write about the Witch’s Gathering, how about changing to Yin Yang Road~~~~ There’s a handsome Bai Gu~~~~~~~~~

The figure was wrapped in a thick black cloak, covering him so tightly that it was impossible to see what was under the cloak.

The skeleton man who came out of the ground looked at the tightly wrapped figure and said in a low voice, "Lina, how are you?"

"I'm fine."

Although the voice of the person called Lina by the skeleton man was a bit shrill, it didn't have the weird rubbing sound of the skeleton man. Her voice sounded more like a human being.

"Your voice......"

The two are a couple who get along day and night, how could the skeleton man not recognize his wife's voice? It stretched out its hand and wanted to touch Lina, but she slapped it away forcefully.

The night was very dark tonight, but to the skeleton man, the darkness was nothing. It clearly saw a thin layer of flesh and blood attached to Lina's outstretched hand.

The green fire in the black eye sockets of the skeleton man suddenly lit up. It looked at his wife who was close at hand, and spoke with a trembling voice.

"Lina, your hand..."

"Nothing happened!"

Before the skeleton man finished speaking, Lina spoke angrily and interrupted it: "Frode, nothing happened, have you forgotten what our purpose of coming here is? Cole is still in the hands of those humans. in!"

The skeleton man Frode fell silent and did not speak again.

The two of them are the parents of the little skeleton man captured by Linda and the others.

They came here with only one purpose, which is to rescue the little skeleton man.

Although they are hiding in this small town, they also know that humans and skeleton people are completely on opposite sides. They will not take the initiative to harm humans, but what about humans, will they harm their children?

The husband and wife were lurking in the weeds, looking at the house not far away.

It used to be their home, and their family of four used to live happily there.

But after the disaster happened, everything changed. The three of them transformed into skeleton people overnight, while their eldest son still maintained his human appearance.

The human son was unwilling to be separated from them, and stayed in this small town. They thought that they could still maintain their original life, but later, they discovered that everything was just wishful thinking.

The few humans fled the town in a panic, Klein was unwilling to leave them and stayed.

In the huge town, he is the only human living here.

They dug a hole under their former home for them to live in, and Klein lived in their former home.

The family of four survived like this.

It's just that all the peace was just an illusion. One night, when they returned home, they found that their son had disappeared, and a large pool of blood was left in Klein's room, and Klein, disappeared.

Until now, they don't know what happened. They didn't see the body of their son, and they refused to believe that their son was dead. The husband and wife did not leave here with the large army of skeleton men, but took their youngest son with them stayed.

They believed that Klein would come back here one day.

***

As the night gradually deepened, there were bursts of insects chirping outside the window, and Qin Yue, who was lying on the bed, slept extremely restlessly.

A bolt of lightning tore through the dark night sky, and then thunder rumbled.

Qin Yue suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.

An inexplicable palpitation suddenly emerged, and she clutched her chest, panting heavily.

There was no clock in the room, and Qin Yue didn't know what time it was. After waking up, she didn't feel sleepy anymore, so she fumbled for the sun lamp placed by the bed and lit it.

The dim light instantly dispelled the darkness in the room.

Qin Yue yawned and stood up from the bed.

Another flash of lightning pierced the sky, followed by rumbling thunder. Qin Yue rubbed her arms and walked towards the window.

Looking at the curtains, I glanced outside, and the red lights on the sensors in the yard flickered like small red eyes.

Another flash of lightning illuminated the sky, and Qin Yue glanced out of the corner of her eye to see two figures outside the yard.

The lightning flashed away, and before Qin Yue could see it clearly, it was already extinguished, and the rolling thunder sounded.

But in a short while, it rained cats and dogs.

Huge raindrops slammed on the glass, and soon turned into a patch of water. The scene outside was shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

Qin Yue lowered the raised curtains, remembering the two shadows she saw just now, she couldn't help frowning.

In this deserted town, apart from them, there seemed to be only the little skeleton and its parents.

Could the two figures standing outside be the parents of the little skeleton man?

Qin Yue felt that the possibility was very high.

They came here to save the little skeleton man.

Qin Yue originally wanted to remind Linda and Sloda, but thinking of Linda's defense against her, Qin Yue hesitated again.

Linda and Sluoda are more experienced than Qin Yue in dealing with skeleton people. Qin Yue feels that if she goes down with such a useless body, it seems that it will only add to the chaos.

Various thoughts were swirling in her mind, but Qin Yue still didn't go downstairs in the end.

Linda had already made preparations before, and those sensors were not vegetarian. If there were really skeletons coming, why would those sensors not respond?

With her current level of useless body, even if she goes down, she won't be able to help much, and she will even become a dragging existence. If there is anything, Linda and Sloda can't be counted on. As for Kawakami Tomie and Qin Yue silently erased the shadows of her servants from her mind.

Kawakami Tomie didn't arrive just in time to save her from the fire and water every time.

The thunder outside the house gradually died down, but the rain was getting louder and louder, and the sound of the rain made people feel irritable.

Qin Yue turned off the light and lay back on the bed again.

This is obviously a desert area, how could it be raining so much?

Qin Yue was lying on the bed, but she didn't feel sleepy at all. Hearing the continuous sound of rain outside the window, Qin Yue kept recalling the two figures she just saw in her mind.

After such a long time, the siren still hasn't sounded. Could it be that she misread it?

Qin Yue turned over and lay facing the wall. The rain outside was too loud, covering the sound inside the room. By the time Qin Yue realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Qin Yue only felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, and then lost consciousness.

***

Frode stood by the bed, quietly looking at the unconscious woman, the green flames in his eyes trembled with excitement, thinking of what Lina said, Frode's whole body trembled slightly.

They have become skeleton people, and it is possible to become human again. He has witnessed the change of Lina with his own eyes, and he is even more convinced of this.

The sudden torrential rain disrupted their plans, and Flood beckoned Lina to go back to the place where they lived along the dug cave with him, but Lina refused him.

"Sorry, Floyd, I can't go down."

But within a few minutes, Lina's voice changed again, the sharp feeling disappeared, and her former voice slowly changed.

This time, Frode finally sensed something was wrong, and he forcibly tore off the cloak wrapped around Lina's body.

Lina's body was exposed to Frode's eyes.

What appeared in Frode's eyes was not a skeleton, Lina's body grew flesh and blood again.

Frode had no idea what was going on, he looked at Lina in shock, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

Lina, how did she become like this?

"Lina, you..."

Frode's voice trembled uncontrollably. Lina's appearance at this moment looked a little creepy. Her flesh and blood were not covered by skin, and she looked very fragile, as if she would shatter with a light touch. .

"What happened, Lina, tell me?"

After growing flesh and blood, Lina felt the pain again. She hugged her body, looked at Frode who was standing opposite her, and said, "Are you sure, we want to talk here?"

Skeleton people can sense each other within a certain distance, making sure that their child's life is not in danger for the time being, Slote took Lina to a half-collapsed house in the distance.

The heavy rain was pouring down without any signs of stopping. Even the weather has changed since the disaster happened. They are used to such heavy rains often falling in the desert.

Frode sat on the dusty sofa, he looked at Lina standing in front of him, and slowly calmed down.

Throwing those messy thoughts out of his mind, Frode let out a long breath and said, "Lina, now can you tell me what happened?"

The two have been married for many years and have a deep relationship. They have never concealed anything from each other. Flood believes in the relationship between them, and he also believes that Lina will tell him what happened.

Lina was silent for a long time, before she said: "I will become like this, it should be related to someone."

Earlier at the entrance of the town, Qin Yue was cut by wild grass, and the gushing blood fell on Lina's body.

The blood stained her bones and penetrated immediately. Lina didn't know what happened, but felt extremely uncomfortable.

She went back to the place where their family lived along the dug hole, and found a thin layer of blood on her bones.

This was something that had never happened to Lina after she became a skeleton man. She was terrified by this scene, and she didn't dare to tell Frod, so she hid herself.

After the blood film covered her entire body, granulation sprouted out, and those granulation sprouts criss-crossed on her bones, spreading out a giant net, wrapping all her bones in it.

Those granulation sprouts grew wildly, and the lost flesh and blood covered her bones again.

"After growing blood and flesh, I found that I couldn't stay underground, so I ran out from the secret compartment in the house."

Lina came out of the bedroom and found the curly black hair thrown at the door of the bedroom. Like a ghost, she picked up the curly hair.

As soon as the black hair was touched, it turned to ashes and got into the flesh and blood that had just grown out of her.

"At that moment, I was sure that the changes in my body were related to the woman we picked up before. Her blood may make us turn back into human beings."

Become human again.

This is the dream of every skeleton man, and they have no way to refuse such a temptation.

Becoming a human is no longer an illusory dream, Lina's transformation has proved this point.

Hearing Lina talk about the cause and effect, Frode couldn't wait any longer. The flesh and blood on her body continued to grow, and the skin started from the arms and slowly grew out.

Seeing this scene, Floyd couldn't control himself anymore, he stood up abruptly, started to walk outside.

"Frode, what are you going to do?"

Lina vaguely guessed what Frode was going to do, and stopped him.

"I'm going to bring that woman back."

That woman was rescued from the desert by them. If she had known that she had such a magical power... It's a pity that there has never been such a thing in this world.

"Lina, don't worry, I will bring her back."

After Floyd finished speaking, he turned around and burrowed into the ground.

In the past few years, they have already dug countless passages underground. They have lived underground for so many years, and they know exactly where those intricate roads lead to.

After Floyd left, Lina walked slowly to the dusty sofa and sat down. She lowered her head and stared blankly at her growing skin.

Can they really get what they want?

***

Frode returned to the hole dug below their house through the tunnel, and after getting ready, he followed the secret passage and returned to their house.

Frode, who turned into a skeleton man, felt that his abilities were a bit tasteless before, but this time, he was very grateful for his abilities.

He can clearly feel where these people are in the house, where there are many people and where there are few people, and everyone's combat effectiveness can be roughly sensed.

Frode chose the room with the fewest people and the weakest strength, and got in through the secret passage.

The person sleeping in their son's room, as he had sensed, had a very low force value, and he easily subdued her.

Turning the woman with her back to him, Frode saw her face.

is her!

The man lying on the bed was exactly as Lina had pictured him.

Frode didn't expect that his luck would be so good, the first room he entered, he found the person he was looking for.

Frode resisted Qin Yue from the bed and got into the secret passage.

In the master bedroom, Tomie Kawakami, who was sleeping, suddenly felt some discomfort in her chest. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the dark room.

Just now, what happened?

Tomie Kawakami, who just woke up, was a little confused. She felt that something was missing in the house, but her mind was a little chaotic, and she was too lazy to think about what was missing. She slowly closed her eyes, and after a while, fell asleep again. past.

In the study downstairs, Linda had already fallen asleep wrapped in a sleeping bag, and Sloda sat beside her, watching her sleeping face, and the expression on her face softened more and more.

In this world now, we don't know what will happen tomorrow, and we don't know how long they will be together. I just hope that they can be together forever before death comes.

Sloda was engrossed, and didn't notice the little skeleton man on the other side.

The fire in the eyes of the little skeleton man who was lying there had disappeared, but it suddenly felt something, and the green fire in his eyes lit up again, it was the taste of Dad!

The little skeleton man focused on the ceiling above his head, waiting for his father's arrival.

However, the original strong breath slowly disappeared, and the little skeleton man was a little flustered, making a strange rattling sound from his mouth.

Dad, Dad, where are you?Cole is here, don't you want Cole?

***

The heavy rain gradually subsided, and Frode had been away for more than an hour. The skin on Lina's body had basically grown out, and she no longer looked like a skeleton man.

Lina didn't know how she felt at this moment, everything seemed like a dream, so unreal.

She was very afraid that she would wake up from the dream after all. When she finally accepted that she had become a skeleton man, she became a human again. If she lost her human identity again, Lina would not know that she Whether it can persist.

Now she desperately hopes that someone will show up and tell her that everything is not a dream, and that she has really turned back into a human being.

"Lina!"

A strange shout came in from outside, Lina subconsciously stood up and went out.

She saw a skeleton frame appear in her field of vision, and Lina's eyes lit up.

"Frode!"

Lina stumbled towards Frode, she wanted him to see her, see her as she was now, and tell her that she was really human again.

"Frode!"

Lina had already arrived in front of Floyd, and at the same time, she also saw the person carried by Floyd on his shoulders.

"Frode, she is..."

Lina couldn't believe that Frode really brought the girl back. The surprise was only a moment, and Lina soon became excited.

It was her blood that turned her into a human again. With her blood, Frode can also become a human!

"Lina, it's cold outside, let's talk when we go back."

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge, and Lina is only wrapped in a thin cloak, shivering under the cold wind.

Skeleton people can't feel hot and cold, only humans can feel it, and she really became a human again.

Lina followed Frode back into the house.

As a skeleton man, Frode had an instinctive resistance to humans. He wanted to throw Qin Yue on the ground, but Lina stopped him.

"Put her on the sofa."

The hand that was about to throw it on the ground paused, Frode took a deep breath, and put Qin Yue on the sofa according to Lina's words.

"Lina, you..."

Lina took off the hat she was wearing on her head. When Frode saw Lina's appearance at this time, what he wanted to say was stuck in his throat for an instant, and he couldn't say a word.

It was a familiar yet unfamiliar face, and that delicate and flowery face made Floyd feel a little dazed.

Lina was 40 years old before she became a skeleton man, but now she is clearly just a young woman in her early twenties.

Not to mention her flesh and blood growing back, even her appearance has changed back to her youthful appearance.

Even though there were thousands of words, there was only one sentence in the end: "Lina, you have changed back."

Tears welled up from Lina's green eyes, and two thin water marks ran across her fair cheeks. Lina choked up and said, "Frode, you can also change back."

Frode nodded, and turned his gaze to Qin Yue who was lying there.

The series of changes in Lina's body started when she was stained with this woman's blood. Now, he can't wait to become a human again.

The phalanx of the right hand made a crackling sound, but in a moment, it turned into a sharp bone blade.

He slowly approached Qin Yue, looking at her white arm hanging beside her, green light flashed in Frode's eyes, and a hand that turned into a bone blade lightly scratched a scar on her arm.

The sweet smell of blood diffused in the air, and Frode grabbed her arm with one hand, and stuck the blood-oozing wound on the bones of his chest.

Her blood was much thicker than normal people, and once it touched Frode's bones, it firmly adhered to it.

Frode's eyes had been staring at his breastbone without blinking, and when he saw this scene, he became more excited.

The blood seeped into his bones, and the bones that were originally as white as jade turned blood red, and the blood color spread quickly, but within a few breaths, the bones of his entire upper body had completely turned red.

"Frode!"

Lina saw Frode's change and screamed. Frode turned his head and glanced at Lina standing beside him, the green flames in his eyes burning.

He put Qin Yue's arm on his leg bone, trying to speed up the change of the leg bone, but in the end, no blood leaked from her wound. Frode turned Qin Yue's arm over and saw the original The wound he made with the bone blade was gone.

Frode was a little surprised, the hand that turned into a bone blade wanted to strike again.

But this time, his movement was stopped by Lina.

"Frode, that's enough, you're going to hurt her."

Lina grabbed Frode's scarlet right arm and said.

The green flames in Frode's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said hoarsely, "Why?"

"We still have Cole."

The husband and wife turned back into humans, how could they let their child continue to be a skeleton man?

Frode put Qin Yue's arm back, looking at the unconscious Qin Yue, Frode let out a long breath of foul air.

This night passed extraordinarily long, and Lina quietly watched Frode return to his youthful appearance in front of her.

He has more blood stained than her, and he recovers faster than her.

When the sky turned pale for the first time, the skin on Frode's body completely grew back, and he returned to that handsome and elegant man.

"Frode!"

"Lina!"

Husband and wife hugged each other and burst into tears.

They originally thought that they would spend their entire lives in the dark and damp underground, but they never thought that they would still have the opportunity to see the moment when the sun rose.

Lina found two old clothes from this abandoned house. When the two changed their clothes and came out, they found that the person lying on the sofa had disappeared.

The husband and wife's expressions changed, and they immediately dispersed to look for Qin Yue's trace.

Her existence is related to whether they can restore their son to a human being again, and there must be no mistakes.

****

When Qin Yue woke up, she found herself in an abandoned house. The back of her neck was in severe pain. Qin Yue stretched out her hand and rubbed it. Thinking of her experience last night, Qin Yue's face darkened.

She was knocked out.

Qin Yue didn't know who the person who knocked her out was. She checked her body briefly, and found that she didn't suffer any harm, but on her right arm, there was a lot of dried blood.

Where did this blood come from?

Qin Yue frowned, got some saliva on her left hand, and wiped it on the blood.

Her white and tender fingertips were stained with blood, she raised her hand and put it on her nose, a sweet aroma wrapped her sense of smell tightly.

The blood is hers.

The self-healing ability of this body is very strong, and even if there is a wound, it will heal quickly. The clothes on her body are neat, there is no damage, and there is no blood on her body. Only her right arm is stained with such blood. much blood.

Where she was injured was on her right arm.

Not much blood flowed out, except for her forearm, the sofa she was lying on, and the ground under her feet, there was no blood.

The person who injured her probably didn't intend to kill her. If he wanted to kill her, the place where he would attack her would not be her arm, but the carotid artery.

Half of the house had collapsed. From the collapsed wall, she could directly see the outside scene. Less than 400 meters away from here was the house she lived in yesterday.

Who brought her here?What is his or their purpose?

There are too few known clues, Qin Yue doesn't know who brought her here, and she doesn't know what their purpose is, no matter what the reason is, it's not appropriate for her to stay here, it's better to go back as soon as possible.

Qin Yue got up and realized that she was not wearing shoes on her feet, and the gravel on the ground had scratched her tender soles with tiny wounds.

The tingling pain on her feet kept coming, and Qin Yue frowned deeply. At this moment, she didn't care about that, and ran out enduring the pain.

The left and right are just minor injuries, which can be healed easily, why should she care about those, the most important thing now is to return to Kawakami Tomie and the others as soon as possible.

After running away for a while, Qin Yue found that her body did not appear that weak and weak. A trace of doubt emerged in her heart, but she quickly put it behind her, and now she doesn't care about thinking about it.

The distance of 400 meters is not too far, but there is too much mud and gravel on the ground, and the steel bars in many collapsed houses are half-covered by sand, and if you don't pay attention, you will step on it.

The soles of Qin Yue's feet were already covered with cut scars, she was already numb from the pain, the cut on her feet couldn't bring her any feeling except for a slight frown.

Finally ran to the front of the house.

Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She stood at the door and rubbed her feet on the slightly softer grass next to her.

The sand and stones on the soles of her feet have been squeezed out, and the wounds on her feet have completely healed, and there are no traces of previous injuries.

After wiping off the dirt on her feet, Qin Yue exhaled, looked at the closed door, and walked over quickly.

Although the door was closed tightly, it was not locked. Qin Yue pushed hard, and the door opened, and the noise in the room burst out instantly.

Listening to these messy voices, Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and walked in.

There were several pairs of slippers in the shoe cabinet at the entrance. Qin Yue found a pair of slightly smaller women's slippers and put them on her feet.

A few steps into the living room, those people in the living room glanced at Qin Yue, then looked away.

They are not familiar with Qin Yue. Although Qin Yue has the same face as Tomie Kawakami, she does not have the unique charm of Tomie Kawakami on her body. She is like a replica with less exquisite workmanship. Tell who is who.

It was a good thing no one noticed her.

Qin Yue stepped on her slippers, walked along the wall, bypassed those people in the living room, and walked towards the stairs.

Within two steps, a man's voice came from behind him.

"Miss Yuezi!"

Qin Yue's back stiffened for a moment, but soon relaxed again.

Among these people, Nasroda is the only one who can call her Miss Yuezi.

Qin Yue turned around and subconsciously put her right hand behind her back. She looked at Sluoda who was standing there with a plate, and said, "Mr. Sluoda."

After such a toss, Qin Yue's face sweated a lot, and her fair cheeks were stained with two blushes.

Compared with yesterday, her current appearance is a bit more lively. Sloda looked at Qin Yue, and there seemed to be a dark light flickering in her black pupils.

"It's too polite for you to call me Mr. You can call me Sloda."

Qin Yue was taken aback for a moment, and called out kindly: "Sloda, good morning."

Her voice was not as soft and charming as Kawakami Tomie's, but when she called his name, Sloda felt like a feather brushed over her heart, and an inexplicable numbness instantly covered her whole body. Da's ears turned red, and his voice was a little hoarse than before.

"I see that you just came back from the outside. We don't know much about this town. There may be dangers. You'd better stay with us. I, we will protect you."

Qin Yue didn't know if it was her own illusion, she always felt that what Sloda said seemed to have some other meaning.

In some respects, Qin Yue's nerves are rough enough to run a train.

However, it can be heard from Sloda's words that no one seems to know that she did not leave here voluntarily.

Various thoughts swirled in Qin Yue's mind, but in the end she didn't tell the truth about her departure.

"Sloda, thank you for your kindness, I will pay attention next time."

Qin Yue said with a smile, and glanced at the dinner plate held by Sluoda. There was a bowl of white porridge inside.

"Is this for Linda? Then I won't delay you. I'll go back to my room first."

After Qin Yue finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave.

Sluoda suddenly reached out and grabbed Qin Yue's arm.

Feeling the burning sensation from her arm, Qin Yue's body trembled involuntarily.

Did this guy find the blood on her arm?

Qin Yue guessed wrong.

Sloda grabbed Qin Yue's arm and said in a hoarse voice, "You haven't eaten yet, here's the porridge."

Qin Yue's hanging heart relaxed a little. If Sluoda asked her where the blood on her arm came from, she would not be able to explain it clearly.

"Isn't this porridge for Linda? How dare I eat it, I have food to eat."

Qin Yue rejected Sluoda's kindness. She was dull and felt something was wrong. Sluoda seemed to treat her a little differently.

As soon as this thought arose, Qin Yue suppressed it.

Even a blind person can see the relationship between Sloda and Linda, and he won't even be affected by Fu Jiang's charm. How can such a loving man have any thoughts about her?

"It's okay, there's still some in the pot, I'll give it to Linda later."
