Chapter 495: Chapter 296: Memory and the True Scripture of the Seven Demons_2

Finally.

With his efforts.

His eyelids slowly opened.

Due to the blood soaking, his vision was shrouded in a faint blood fog.

But this didn’t prevent the memory master from seeing the scene in front of him.

It was a woman’s face.

It was she who covered the memory master’s mouth with her hand.

It was also she who blocked his view, making him unable to see the surroundings clearly.

Appearance and features, expressions and movements.

Perhaps because the memories were too distant, Chen Sheng could only see a blur.

He could only vaguely see that she seemed to be wearing a green robe.

Apart from this, the other senses were very clear.

From the beginning of the memory, there were screams filled with his ears.

The screams were sometimes far and sometimes near.

Men and women, old and young.

Each scream made the memory master more frightened.

Fortunately,

The memory master’s heart was calm and warm.

Since seeing the woman in front of him, this feeling appeared in the heart of the memory master.

It seemed that as long as she was there, he didn’t have to be afraid of anything.

“Don’t cry.”

“Don’t be afraid.”

“Sleep for a while.”

“Everything will be alright after a short sleep.”

At this moment,

The woman’s voice rang again.

It was still very light and weak.

So light that only the memory master could barely hear it.

At the same time,

The woman reached out and gently stroked the memory master’s skull.

The screams didn’t disappear, but became more intense.

However, under the woman’s appeasement,

Combined with the weakness of his body, his consciousness was close to blurring.

Chen Sheng felt that the fear in the memory master’s heart was gradually dissipating.

Soon,

He fell into a deep sleep.

He didn’t know how much time had passed before he woke up again.

“Huff–”

“Inhale–”

The same bloody smell.

The same soft touch, just a little stiffer than before.

The same pain.

But what was different was,

The screams had disappeared.

It was very quiet around his ears, even eerily silent.

Only his own breathing echoed in the small space.

Making the memory master feel a little out of breath.

“Huff–”

“Mother?”

“Mother?”

He whispered softly.

There was no response.

The space he was in was very narrow.

Everywhere he touched, there was a soft sensation.

Like a human body.

Unable to hear his mother’s reply, fear began to breed again.

He endured the pain and pulled his hand out of a soft place.

With his palm, he wiped away a thick layer of solidified substance that was stuck to his face.

His eyelids trembled, and he opened his eyes again.

However,

What came into view was still a world intertwined with blood and darkness.

Only a faint light seeped through the gaps.

The memory master had already guessed that he was now in a pile of corpses.

But the horror in his heart was not because of this.

It was because his mother was not by his side.

“Mother?”

While continuously calling his mother,

He struggled to push the corpses away from his body.

But these corpses were stuck together, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t move them.

Helpless,

He could only squeeze out bit by bit along the gap.

The light passing through the gap gradually spread as the pillar of light formed in the darkness.

Until,

The blood-stained sky reappeared in front of him.

“Hee–”

The sound of his breath.

Had turned into the sound of a leaky old bellows.

His brain became increasingly heavy.

It seemed that as soon as he closed his eyes again, he would fall into the eternal darkness.

But the memory master didn’t care about these feelings at all.

“Mother?”

“Where are you?”

His hoarse voice called out to his mother.

But all that answered him was the silence of death.

So,

He used his hands and feet together.

And began to crawl out of the small space.

His hand rested on the face of a young girl’s corpse.

His foot stepped on the chest of an old man’s corpse.

His blood-covered hand rubbed against his blood-covered face.

He wanted to make his vision a bit clearer, so that after leaving, he could find his mother even better.

Finally,

After a long effort,

He crawled out of the “heap of people.”

The warm sunlight poured down.

While feeling a bit of warmth on his blood-soaked body, it also slightly eased the memory master’s tense emotions.

Mother wouldn’t die.

She was the strongest person in Lingzhou City.

She wouldn’t die.

He kept telling himself in his heart.

He raised his head and looked around.

The scene he had imagined, with corpses everywhere, didn’t appear.

His once home,

The Lingzhou City where he grew up, had transformed from a magnificent city into ruins filled with broken walls and rubble.

Where were the corpses?

At a glance,

He only saw the slightly viscous brown blood covering the streets.

Not a single corpse in sight.

Where were the corpses?

The memory master asked again.

He felt a chill out of nowhere.

Because since waking up,

He had only seen corpses in one place.

That was the pile of people he had crawled out from.

The pile of people behind him.

“Mother?”

The memory master slowly turned around.

Still calling for his mother.

It seemed that in this way, he could dispel his inner fear.

However,

When he turned around,

And saw the scene behind him,

All the warmth in the world seemed to have disappeared completely along with the sight before him.

Standing in front of him,

Was a sky-reaching pillar.

A sky-reaching pillar made of “people.”

The corpses of humans were forcibly merged together by an extremely violent means.

They fused and stuck together.

An old man’s skull embedded in a young man’s chest.

A slender, jade hand of a young girl growing from a young boy’s leg.

Memories had long since blurred.

He had long forgotten the faces of these people.

Only remembering that some were strangers and some were familiar.
