Like the gaze that shot over like a blade, the gaze that stared tightly at the target, the gaze that unnaturally flickered suddenly. None of these can escape my eyes. These guys haven't been heard from for many years, and I even thought that they died in that fight... Of course, that's just my personal wish... The vitality of these guys is as tenacious as cockroaches, and their persistent beliefs, like snakes, and their annoying entanglements, like flies, have brought them together again to hunt their prey. Their real target is not me, so I grit my teeth and the muscles on my face start to twitch uncontrollably. It's obvious, their target is someone very important to me... Sara. I grip my knees tightly and unconsciously apply pressure. Although he was sitting in a chair with armrests in front of the TV in the living room, he still felt a little uncomfortable. I absentmindedly listen to the jokes of the comedians on TV and the laughter of the audience who are amused by their humor, but I am actually worried. Sometimes I wonder if I made a wrong decision in my dream? No, I smiled bitterly and shook my head. Sara is already an adult and I shouldn't continue to restrict her actions. I can't keep her by my side like when she was a child, always protecting her. She can only rely on herself to protect herself, even if she is put in the midst of wolves, or even creatures more terrifying than wolves, this is the only choice. Now, I have... "Welcome another death? Although it's regrettable... I've become numb to it." The doctor informed me frankly, and my gaze scanned the medical records cautiously, as if reading the intriguing answer. I felt no shock, in my mind only the image of my daughter appeared. She lost her protector at such a young age and will have to face everything on her own in the future. Harry felt very sorry for her. He forcefully rejected the doctor's suggestion of hospitalization and secretly went to the hospital for treatment and got the medication while Sara was at school. So no one knows about this, I don't want others to worry about me, nor do I want them to be sad. Death is not scary, that's what my heart says. Because even if I die, my soul will still exist forever. I don't know when it started, but my life has been constantly reincarnating. It may seem the same as others, but my memories never fade away. Because of this, I have been tormented by many memories, they... have made me numb. "I'm really happy, I'm with Yuuka forever in this life... I'm very happy, ver... sob." I can hardly continue speaking, tears gently stream down my cheeks as I look at the photo of Yuuka. Despite this, my daughter is the only one I can't let go of. I don't want my daughter to experience what she went through again, but those annoying guys who keep on bothering us make me worry even more about my daughter and feel helpless and pathetic myself. "Come back safely, Sara." The TV suddenly turned into static, and I had to turn it off. ... Even the fluorescent lights that emit a faint glow are missing, and after descending the stairs leading to the subway platform, there is a dark space. A faint stench floats in the air, like the smell of ammonia emanating from a dirty public restroom. The platform is full of stains, and the sticky feeling seeps into Sara's shoes through the soles, causing her to furrow her brows slightly. The scenes illuminated by the flashlight are all abandoned... weathered concrete walls, rusty subway tracks, etc. These remind her of what happened in the shopping mall. "I've had enough of those nightmarish ruins." Sara said softly, praying that such things wouldn't happen again. However, her prayers, rarely made at the church, are just a form of self-comfort. Although this platform is for the subway heading home, the destinations indicated on the wall are elsewhere, and the platform she wants to go to is on the other side. Sara clicked her tongue, a bad habit that would surely anger her father if he saw it. "It doesn't look like the train will come right away."She wanted to cross the tracks to the other side because it was a hassle to go back up the stairs, and if the space twisted, there was no guarantee of finding the platform accurately, so crossing the tracks was the most convenient and accurate method.
Sara jumped off the platform and dazzling lights projected from the depths of the tunnel, accompanied by the sound of an alarm.
The train was about to arrive, how could this be?!
"No way!"
Sara quickly climbed back onto the platform, and the speeding train rushed past her from behind, narrowly avoiding dragging her under its wheels.
Her heart was pounding, and sweat dripped from her forehead. The train seemed to have been waiting for the perfect moment for her to cross the tracks, which made her think that it was a malicious act...
Sara stared angrily at the opposite platform, sighed, and headed towards the stairs.
The fierce roar from not far away came again, and compared to the monsters in front of her, the enemies that had not yet appeared made Sara more afraid.
The battles in the shopping center seemed like a distant past now, but they still filled her with fear.
"Don't hide... Come out already."
Although Sara tried to boost her courage by raising her voice, the sounds seemed to be absorbed by the darkness, which only made her more frightened.
After descending the stairs, Sara realized that this platform was still not the one she was trying to reach.
Strange, there shouldn't be any other stairs here... There should only be two platforms, and if this one isn't it, then it must be the other one. This space has indeed twisted.
At that moment, she spotted another set of stairs on the other side of the same platform. Although Heather, who had taken the train countless times here, didn't remember this staircase at all, she had no choice but to give it a try as she approached it. As she got closer, the radio in her pocket started making noise. In the shadow of the stairs, a dog-like monster flickered, its mouth wide open vertically, emitting a whimper - it had four petals!
"It's you!" Sara said with a smile.
Those crazy ones were relatively easy opponents to deal with, and meeting them now gave her a feeling of familiarity in a strange place.
Once she knew the true face of her opponent, the fear from earlier disappeared like the receding tide.
Bang! Bang!
She calmly aimed her gun at the target and eliminated the enemy with just two bullets.
After the monster let out its final scream and fell to the ground, the silence with only the sound of footsteps was not something that could calm anyone.
Feeling a chill running up her spine, Sara quickly turned around and saw a dry, shriveled thing in the halo of her flashlight. The thing was pressed tightly against the ceiling above the tracks, and its small eyes stared at Heather.
It was that guy again, the one she encountered in the elevator at the shopping center.
Although they didn't engage in a fight before due to the elevator walls, now... Sara raised her gun carefully.
Her finger on the trigger seemed somewhat hesitant for no apparent reason. The opponent didn't make a move, and she couldn't sense any signs of an impending attack. It ...
Ah, speaking of my daughter.
This girl has always had poor grades and a lackadaisical attitude towards her studies, so she has caught the attention of her teachers.
Not only that, she even dares to fight with boys, she's a complete wild child.
I can only laugh bitterly at these things, the previous anxieties feel like a joke now, as long as I recall the memories of being with Heather, my mindset immediately calms down.
Although Sara is currently a domineering seventeen-year-old girl, in my eyes, she will always be a lovely child... just like the wife I failed to protect.
Tears once again slide down my cheeks, the regret still lingering in my heart.
"Damn, why am I shedding tears so easily?"
I straighten up in my chair, wiping away the tears from my cheeks. If Foulan sees this, she will surely reprimand me. If I don't pull myself together, what face will I have to meet her in heaven? I already owe her so much because of that child...
Beep beep beep!!!
Suddenly, the sound of sirens rings out.
After finally reaching the platform to head to our destination, a ferocious dog monster appears at the opportune moment, while Sara is crossing the tracks.
