"... No one will save you..."
"... give up..."
Lin Ze's consciousness is being torn apart bit by bit by those dark voices.
He felt like he was thrown into a huge blender, with countless voices pouring in from all directions, some crying, some laughing, some cursing, and some begging.
They were pressed together layer by layer, turning his brain into a mess.
His limbs were rapidly losing consciousness, and his magic power was being drained away by those tentacles at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His body felt like it was soaked in ice water, from his fingertips to his shoulders, from his ankles to his thighs. It was so cold that his teeth chattered.
But at this moment, he heard a very faint murmur.
"... I'm sorry..."
This voice was completely different from the malicious whispers before.
It is very light, as if it will be blown away by the wind at any time in the next second.
Lin Ze opened his eyes suddenly.
Through the black tentacles wrapped around his eyes, he saw the girl's eyes.
Under the turbulent darkness in her eyes, something was struggling.
It's those lake green eyes.
They glow faintly in the darkness.
"Listen..."
Lin Ze spoke with difficulty.
"Your body is being controlled by something very, very bad... You can't let it control you... You have to push it back..."
His voice became weaker and weaker, and when he spoke the last few words, almost only his lips were moving.
"... I can't do it... it's too strong... too strong..."
The girl's voice became choppy.
Lin Ze I don't know if she can hear it, or if she can do it.
But he knew that if this girl didn't push Obscurus back, not only would the entire Tromsø be lost today, but he would also have to answer for it.
Lin Ze tried hard to stay awake, he didn't dare to fall asleep like this.
"Listen to me... I know you are in pain right now... I also know that you have suffered too much that you don't deserve..."
"Those people are not worthy of you hating yourself... it's not your fault."
Lin Ze felt that the tentacles on his neck seemed to loosen just a little bit, and he quickly took this opportunity to take a deep breath.
"You didn't do anything wrong. What was wrong were those who abused you, those who abandoned you, and those who turned a blind eye. You were just protecting yourself. There is nothing wrong with that."
"Protect... yourself?"
There was a tremor in the girl's voice, and it was no longer the hollow echo before.
The black tentacles loosened a little more.
Lin Ze's consciousness is no longer as blurry as before, and the speed at which magic power is extracted seems to have slowed down.
"That's right." Lin Ze felt that his legs could move again, although they were still entangled.
"You are actually a wizard. The power in your body is not a curse or a disease, it is a part of yourself."
"Now, what you need to do is take it back and make it your own power again instead of letting it control you."
"... I can't... every time I try to control it... it gets... scary..."
"Relax, slowly let your emotions stabilize, don't be afraid of it... try... to communicate with it..."
The girl fell silent.
Lin Ze feels that his consciousness is getting clearer and clearer.
The noisy whispers in my head slowly began to fade away.
The girl's body began to slowly descend, falling from mid-air to the ground bit by bit.
The black mist around her also began to slowly retract into her body.
It feels so damn good to be grounded.
Lin Ze didn't dare to hesitate, he stretched out his hand and took the girl into his arms.
The girl's body froze for a moment.
Her body is very light, as light as a dry branch. Lin Ze can feel the outline of each of her ribs, and can feel the dark power in her body that is gradually subduing.
The girl looked at Lin Ze in disbelief.
She couldn't believe that this stranger, whom she had known for less than half an hour, dared to approach her and hug her after seeing the terrifying power in her body.
The black energy fluctuated violently on the surface of her skin, like an enraged beast.
But Lin Ze didn't let go.
He forcibly controlled his instinctive fear.
Because the magic power in his body was growing at an incredible speed.
But on the surface, he still maintained his calm appearance.
"Look, nothing happened. Although that power is terrifying, it is not uncontrollable."
The girl raised her head slightly and looked at Lin Ze with her still black eyes.
"Be good... forget about those bad guys and think about people or things that make you happy."
The girl's lips moved twice, as if she was saying something.
There was no sound, but Lin Ze read two words from her mouth.
"Mom."
"Yes, think about your mother, she must be a very gentle person, right?"
"She must love you very much. Even if she is gone, she must still hope that you can live well."
The girl's body began to tremble.
Tears welled up from her eyes, leaving two mud marks on her dirty face.
She buried her face in Lin Ze's chest and repeated something over and over in a hoarse voice.
Calm returned to the port.
Snowflakes began to fall again, gently covering the frozen body.
The bearded man was still paralyzed under the wall, unconscious in an extremely twisted posture, and his snoring was loud.
Lin Ze Standing there, he can feel his magic power growing rapidly.
This feeling was wonderful, as if someone had re-tempered the magic power in his body, making it purer and more condensed.
Lin Ze looked down at the girl who was still sobbing in his arms, reached out and patted her head.
"Are you feeling better?"
The girl nodded, then quickly released her grip on his coat, took a step back, and wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand.
Her hands were dirty, and her face was even dirtier after wiping them, but she didn't seem to care at all.
Lin Ze feels that his magic power has stopped growing.
He looked down at his hands, clenched his fists, and felt the magic power in his body that was obviously much more concentrated than before.
Moreover, the magic power that was taken away by the black tentacles has been restored at some point, and it is more abundant than before.
"Thank you... thank you..." The girl's voice was small, but Lin Ze's eyes widened.
"Can you talk?"
The girl was also stunned. She subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands and her eyes widened.
"I... I don't know... I haven't... for a long time..."
"Wait a minute, don't get excited."
Lin Ze quickly held down her shoulders, fearing that the Obscurus inside her body would jump out again when she got excited.
"Take a deep breath and take your time. It's a good thing you can talk, right?"
The girl nodded vigorously and tears began to fall again.
"Thank you... I... I..."
"Okay, okay, stop crying, aunt, I beg you, please stop crying." Lin Ze took out a crumpled handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.
The girl took the handkerchief and carefully wiped the tears and dirt on her face.
The handkerchief quickly became dirty.
