Shadow Egg

chapter3

3. The first dialogue of the shadow personality: the replay of the illusion

"He is tempting you, right?" Ska stood on the edge of the altar and lit a cigarette. Mars flickered and dimmed in the dark. "It will give you strength and freedom. But the price is that when you open your eyes, you are no longer 'Lin Che', but a shadow monster who can only kill.

"What should I do if I want to...?"

"Close your eyes and sink in. Go to your 'heart' and pull it out and beat it up. Ska's voice became extremely cold. "Remember, Hayek said that order is formed spontaneously, but your order must be forcibly established by your own will. If your 'rationality' can't suppress your 'instinct', then you deserve to be eaten.

The world in front of Lin Che collapsed in an instant.

He found that he was no longer on the altar, but returned to the reservoir on that rainy night.

"Run? Why don't you run away?"

Wang Hu approached with a fierce smile, and the bat in his hand drew a vicious arc in the rain. It was surrounded by the ridicule of the followers.

This time, the fear is a hundred times stronger than in reality. He could feel his body trembling, and the humility and cowardice in his bones were about to drown him like a tide.

And in his shadow, the voice was laughing wildly: "Look, you are still that waste! Let me... Let me kill them!"

Lin Che's fingertips grew black sharp claws, and his eyes began to be covered with ink. His spine arched due to severe pain, and two black fogs rolled violently at his shoulder blades, as if something was going to tear the skin and turn into black wings and break out.

That is the temptation of "flying" and the omen of destruction.

"No..."

Lin Che suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, and the b****y smell made him regain a trace of clarity.

He looked at Wang Hu and then at his disappearing hands.

"If you want my life to take revenge, what's the difference between you and these beasts who bully me?"

He roared in his heart.

Instead of choosing to accept the shadow, he suddenly turned around and stabbed his hand directly into the shadow under his feet!

4. Stripping and Contract: The First Shackle

"Ah!!!"

The sad screams echoed in the underground space.

Under the monitoring of Su Lian's tactical glasses, Lin Che's vital signs are declining rapidly, but the strange "shadow fusion" is being pulled back.

In the hallucination, Lin Che turned his will into a shackle and strangled the black personality who looked exactly like him. Instead of destroying it, he forcibly tore the shadow into countless pieces in this inhuman pain, and then re-sewed it little by little.

On the altar of reality, the black shadow personality roared unwillingly, and finally turned into a black light and re-entered Lin Che's spine.

Lin Che fell heavily to the ground, sweating profusely, and his whole body was as if he had just been fished out of the water.

But he found that those shadows no longer took the initiative to attack him, but obediently stuck to the surface of his skin, like a layer of black light armor.

"Not bad." Ska spit out a smoke ring, and a trace of praise flashed in his eyes. "Unexpectedly, he did not choose the most effort-saving 'integration', but chose the most painful 'taming'. Boy, you are barely an 'apprentice' now.

He took out a black badge from his pocket and threw it in front of Lin Che.

"This is your identification. Starting from tomorrow, we will gather at the church training area at five o'clock every morning. Erin will take you to know how to kill.

Ska turned around and walked to the elevator, and the sound echoed in the empty ground:

"In addition, stay away from the one named Leonardo. Although your shadow is obedient for the time being, it is a collection of 'negative energy'. His 'light' will be like a magnifying glass roasting ants, angering the shadow personality in your body again. You are not qualified to fly in front of him until you learn 'shadow wings'.

Lin Che lay on the altar, looking at the bronze gear slowly rotating above his head, and felt a strange burning heat from his spine.

He knew that the "shadow" had not disappeared. It was just waiting for the next chance.

But he clenched his fist.

In this world full of fog, killers and nobles, he finally grasped his first weapon.

Preview of the next chapter:

Lin Che officially joined the training team. The "friendly match" launched by Leonardo almost killed Lincher. At the critical moment, he found another strange use of the shadow. At the same time, the "fifth person" wandering in the misty ruins, Zero, was quietly approaching the college with some dangerous information.

Chapter 3: The embers under the thunder

1. Class and Morning: The Baptism of the Church

There is no sun in the morning of St. Erinius.

When the pale artificial light source with simulated texture shone in through the huge rose window of the church, Lin Che had been standing on Qingshiping in the training area for two hours. His muscles twitched because of yesterday's "stripping ceremony", and the black mark on his spine was like a cold centipede, always reminding him of the existence of the shadow.

"In the sanctuary, rest is the privilege of the dead."

Erin's voice came from behind. She changed into a neat black combat suit, and the dark golden chain was wrapped around her waist, with a cold metallic luster in the dim light. She threw a 20-kilogram weight-bearing vest to Lin Che, "Put it on. Before you can manipulate the shadow, you must first learn to control this weak body. Su Lian calculated that if you can't adapt to the gravity here within three weeks, your shadow will have a 'extraction reaction' because the host is too weak.

Lin Che silently took over the vest. At the moment of the metal buckle, the floor tiles under his feet made a slight c***k.

On the other side of the training ground, several students in gorgeous white school uniforms are gathering together. They are the so-called "original aristocrats", born in the villa area, with the power of the embers that have been purified for generations flowing in their blood.

"Look, the 'black account' picked up by Instructor Ska can't even do the basic ember sensing."

The mockery was not loud, but it was extremely harsh in the empty church.

Leonardo stood in the center of the crowd, and he was not even training. He just stood there, pressing the thin sword around his waist with one hand, and the light behind him formed a faint arc above his head. That's the high-level performance of "The Glow of Helios" - the crown of light.

"Irene, don't waste time on this kind of waste that is destined to be 'cleaned up'." Leonardo stepped forward, with a sense of oppression that made people unable to look directly at every step. "The resources of the college are limited. Instead of focusing on a shadow monster that can get out of control at any time, it's better to pay more attention to the 'fog cleaning' task next week.

He stopped in front of Lin Che, and his blue eyes were full of cold judgment.

"Your name is Lin Che, right?" Leonardo lowered his voice, and only Lin Che could hear the disgust in his tone. "Here, freedom is not what you think. If you want to live like a mouse here, never look up in front of the light.
