He kept running, running nonstop!
The wounds on his body were continuously healing, blood stained his eyes crimson, blurring his vision.
Yet he could already clearly see the familiar house at the end of the street, that familiar ho.
But his body was already beginning to flicker intensely, as if he might vanish from this world completely at any mont.
Ten seconds left!
He could even hear the heavy echo of his own footsteps hitting the ground with each step.
He could see the world constantly twisting before his eyes, the murmurs of whispers being frantically called forth from the depths.
His teeth were almost ground to dust, blood soaking his eyes.
Let see you one more ti!
Because I don't know when I'll be able to return again after descending into hell this ti!
No matter what…
No matter what, I must…
Finally, at the very last mont, in Lynn's gaze, he saw that familiar back trimming potted plants in the yard, saw the mottled white hair at her temples, saw that familiar face etched with wrinkles.
In that mont, Lynn's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
The emotions suppressed in his chest for two whole years surged forth at this mont like a flood breaking through a dam.
He strained to open his mouth, strained to shout those two words.
But by the ti they reached his lips, all that remained was a suppressed, hoarse voice.
Mom!
Mom!!
Sobbing, he ran forward with all his might, getting closer and closer to that back.
That figure he had missed all along, the dearest kin he felt most guilty towards these past two years. Even though he knew this was a parallel world, not the Earth he was from, he still couldn't suppress the urge to rush to her side…
Even if he was chased out like a stranger, it didn't matter!
Even if she beat him up like so prankster bastard, it didn't matter!
He really wanted to shout it out…
But finally, at that very mont, the countdown for the summoning's return ended.
He imdiately felt the recall from the abyss. Right behind him, space violently tore open a dark fissure, a trendous suction force halting his forward steps.
He saw those ethereal chains clattering as they erged from the dark abyss, tightly binding him. As if sensing his will to resist returning, it was the Dark World forcibly recalling him.
His body was heavily bound to the ground.
The fissure behind him continuously dragged him towards hell, continuously pulled him towards that dark world.
His eyes were blood red, he used almost all his strength to keep crawling forward, his fingers almost piercing the hard cent ground.
He strained to open his mouth, wanting to cry out.
But that distance of over a hundred ters, that familiar and serene back, at this mont seed like they were worlds apart.
"Ma…"
Tears stread down his face, a hoarse, suppressed sound from his throat.
His flesh and blood completely lost control at this mont. Massive tentacles wildly erupted from his body, forcefully stabbing into the hard ground, all just to stay a mont longer, to look at that figure one more ti.
Even if you don't know .
Even if you don't rember .
Even if you don't recognize .
I still… I still…
"Mom!!!"
Finally, at that mont, Lynn erupted with a hoarse, sobbing shout towards that back, crying out those two words.
That tearing voice echoed throughout the entire street, like a reverberation that lingered, sending countless birds flying into the high sky.
It echoed for a long ti, as if all the longing of the past two years was released in that tearful cry.
In the yard, that back finally trembled, raising her head in a daze.
Hearing that mournful cry calling from behind.
A gentle breeze blew, lifting the white hair on her forehead.
She finally turned around instinctively, looking towards the direction of the street outside the courtyard.
Birds cried long in the sky.
But the remote street was empty, with nothing there.
As if that mournful cry just now was an auditory hallucination born from thin air.
Yet for so reason, she still stared blankly at the empty street behind her, her heart feeling inexplicably hollow and lost.
As if she had discarded sothing, lost sothing, was missing sothing…
"Honey, what's wrong?"
A aged voice ca from the direction of the house door.
She turned her head, looking at her husband, shaking her head sowhat absentmindedly, saying:
"Just now, I thought I heard a voice calling mom, but I didn't see who it was…"
"Was it Ying'er?"
"No, it was a boy's voice."
"You must have misheard then. Our family only has one precious daughter."
The woman showed a faint smile, brushing aside the white hair by her ear, saying:
"Mhm."
…
Airport.
"It's a huge incident! Officer Yin Qin! Look quickly!! Social dia is going crazy! Soone captured footage of Mr. Lynn on trains and highways!! Public opinion is almost uncontrollable now!"
As soon as Yin Qin and the others got off the plane, they imdiately received a call from the Supernatural Administration.
"What exactly is going on?!" Yin Qin asked, shaken.
"Officer, just open social dia and look yourself! All platforms are discussing this right now, there are many videos!"
Yin Qin imdiately hung up the phone, breathing rapidly, and opened a social dia platform.
And she imdiately saw that the top spots on the platform's trending charts were almost all various posts about [Black-Clothed Youth], [Tentacle Monster], [Evil Entity], [Mutant], and so on.
She imdiately found the most popular video.
The video was from a car dashcam on a highway. In the footage, that youth dressed in black with a top hat moved like a swift leopard, tentacles wildly surging behind him, leaping from car to car at an unimaginable speed.
That surging, divine speed was absolutely not sothing any human could achieve.
She imdiately swiped hurriedly through several other videos.
So were outside trains, so in urban areas. The surging tentacles and black robe had almost beco his signature.
Yin Qin's mind buzzed with a loud roar.
Her phone fell to the ground.
Because her worst fear had still co true.
Lynn had still exposed his true form before the public, revealed that ill on from hell that humans do not possess.
"Imdiately… imdiately notify the relevant departnts, all videos must be controlled and suppressed, push the heat of this incident to the absolute minimum, have those key opinion leaders debunk it imdiately. Whether it's movie footage, ga footage, fake photoshopped videos, whatever excuse works, absolutely do not let this incident fernt any further!"
"Reporting, Officer, we've already sent people to do that!"
Yin Qin took a deep breath.
She knew.
Even if Lynn still truly considered himself human.
He had long since beco…
incompatible with this society…
…
PS: More tonight, wishing all students happy exams!
