Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

Chapter 165 164: [Forgotten Garden] Farewell

"Try first."

That's what my sister said.

But Elena was still a little scared.

She tried hard to restrain her trembling body, holding the knife in her right hand, brought the sharp blade close to her fingertips, and gritted her teeth.

Everyone's hearts immediately hung in their throats.They stared at the girl's fingers, but they couldn't see any color for a long time - because the knife failed to cut Elena's skin.

The girl was too nervous and too scared.She had never done this kind of thing that hurt herself, so she didn't dare to really use the knife hard, which led to this failure.

She turned to her sister for help, but only saw the other party's calm eyes and the same calm voice:
"One more time, don't be afraid."

"...Are you still that older sister?" Elena didn't immediately follow suit, but asked her hesitantly.

"Yes. But, I'm not sure who you are."

Angie answered her very casually.At the same time, she also noticed that the rancid smell around her was still growing rapidly, and just as she was about to urge Elena, she saw the girl lower her head again, slashing her finger with a knife fiercely.

There was a thin cut on the white fingertip.

Immediately afterwards, a small amount of black liquid slowly gushed out.

Elena watched this scene in astonishment, unable to react for a long time.

Angie, however, was not surprised.It's just that the other party's performance of being helpless and stunned in place made her feel more and more heavy.

This Elena doesn't seem to be a "pure fake".

But Elijah could no longer stand.He quickly pulled Angie back, and hurriedly shouted to Lauren and the others: "Take out the silver plate!! Hurry up!!"

"That, it's almost finished—" Estherine yelled in a panic, and then rushed into the room with Lauren and Andrea.

"Then why do you come out to join in the fun!!"

Elijah was so angry that he just wanted to scold this unreliable "family", but at this moment, he noticed that Elena's situation was obviously not right——

The fake girl was frantically wiping the black water on her clothes and body.Her body was not damaged in any way, but the dirty clothes turned into powder the moment they touched the black water, which made her even more at a loss.

It's just that the flow of this black water is not fast, and the amount is very small, so it doesn't pose a big threat to them, probably because the wound on Elena's finger is too small and shallow.

"What... what should I do?" Sean asked nervously, retreating with everyone, and then heard Charles reply:
"We can only retreat one after another - we can't hurt her, it will make the situation worse!"

"I know, but at least I can try to slap her away..." Seeing the black water pouring towards them and the cabin separately, Sean became more and more nervous.

"Don't be impulsive, there is no need to take such a risk now."

Charles persuaded Sean and pulled him back together, but his mood was a bit complicated - even now, the girl with black water still showed no signs of intending to hurt anyone.

At this moment, Lauren and Andrea rushed out of the cabin with the silver board in their arms, and Etherine followed behind and shouted:

"Hey, I haven't finished drawing yet!! I almost—"

"Go!! Get out of here first!!" Lauren yelled at her, and walked across the black water on the ground with Andrea, "Do you want to be eaten by a curse?"

"Ahhh, help—" Estherine yelled while avoiding the black water that was coming, and then turned her head and shouted at Elena: "How did you get into the magic circle??! "

"What magic circle? I... I don't remember..." Elena's slightly trembling voice was crying.She realized that not only was her body abnormal, but even her memory was faulted.

Holding the last hope, she gritted her teeth fiercely, and cut open her palm again with a knife under the horrified eyes of everyone.

The wound was still bloodless.

Black water kept pouring out from these two wounds. Looking at the scene in front of her, Elena was completely desperate, and looked at Anji with tears in her eyes:

"I... sister, I..."

"I'm sorry, Elena, we can't take you with me."

Anji said, forcing out a bitter smile to Elena: "This black water will kill us."

"what……"

Elena spit out such a syllable dully, looked at Angie dully, the despair and sadness on her face became more and more intense.

"Master, let's go!" Seeing the increasing amount of black water on the ground, Elijah pulled Angie back even harder, urging her even more urgently, "Something else will definitely happen next! Don't stop Leave her alone!"

Angie didn't answer him.While being dragged back by Elijah little by little, she still looked at the girl who stayed in place with apologetic expression, and said in a heavy and slow tone:

"I'm sorry. I lied to you when I said 'wherever you go, I'll go with you'—because I didn't want you to find out that I wasn't Suzanne."

"You lied to me...?"

Elena murmured resignedly, and at this moment, her body also began to change.

Under the horrified eyes of everyone, the girl's skin collapsed like soft mud, gradually merging with the black water on the ground as if the whole body had melted, and the originally agile eyes also quickly dimmed.
The last of humanity was fading fast, but the girl failed to notice the change in herself.

Consciousness gradually blurred.

In a daze, Elena's gaze remained on Angie.

She saw the three people not far away who were desperately pulling Angie back, and she kept hearing them calling Angie's name and urging her to leave quickly.

But Angie has not left here for a long time.Under the urging of everyone, she finally shouted to the girl who was gradually dissolving: "Elena!! I have to go! I'm sorry!!"

Angie's urgent call and farewell stabilized Elena's last trace of reason.At this moment, Elena remembered the missing memory, remembered some things Cesar did to her, and realized at this moment: Angie was reluctant to leave because she had to wait for her reply .

The elder sister is still the elder sister, but she is no longer Elena.

Her body was so stiff that she couldn't move, Elena could only give up the idea of ​​waving goodbye, but she still tried her best to smile at her "sister", and said with all her strength:
"Angie...sister, you have to...survive..."

She didn't want to blame Angie for deceiving herself.Compared with the warmth brought by the other party, it was just a trivial matter.

And at this "last moment of life", she finally learned the other person's real name from another person.

Elena's voice, which was already out of shape, was extremely vague.Her smile failed to show, and the second half of her sentence dissipated into the air as her face dissolved.

But her very soft "Sister Angie" passed through the roars of various monsters and faintly reached Anji's ears.

Angie's eyes immediately moistened.She choked up and said "I'm sorry", before she could think of what to say, she was picked up by Elijah who was so anxious to smoke, and ran towards the forest with everyone.

　Thank you Shabaohua for the cute monthly ticket~

　　I seem to be a bit hypocritical (more than a little!!)

　　This is the saddest thing I've written so far.

　　Although as early as halfway through the writing, this foreign land was already developing itself out of the outline, but in the end, all the plots will be connected.

　　(Even if I can't string it together, I will let it string up/look up to the sky)
