I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 111 "Angel" (End of this story)

"..."

Lin Xing'an stood where he was, trying hard to keep his eyes open, trying to see the person coming.

But he is in so much pain now...

All kinds of conflicting feelings kept tearing at him, making his vision go dark.

Despite trying his best, he could only vaguely see that the person walking barefoot out of the light gate was not very tall.

But behind her, there was a pair of wings...

A pair of extremely broad wings, one of which is even taller than her body.

It was covered with dense white wings, and in the warm light radiating from its body, it looked like a holy angel from mythology...

"I……"

As the angel approached step by step, Lin Xing'an's heartbeat became faster and faster.

The gentle light seemed to have cast a veil over the angel's face.

Even though he couldn't see clearly, and even the most basic outline was blurry, Lin Xing'an felt a sense of familiarity...

A familiar feeling from the heart...

It was as if he had definitely seen this person before.

And I feel safe when I'm with this person...

"Mother……"

This word suddenly popped up in Lin Xing'an's mind.

This afternoon, he heard some words from the Taogui's mouth that seemed to be related to the Taogui ritual.

Yes……

The angel in front of him gave him a feeling of "mother".

"A poor abandoned sacrifice..."

"But... I was abandoned too..."

A ethereal and broken sound came faintly.

The angelic figure walked in front of Lin Xing'an and stopped.

And it was only at this time that Lin Xing'an saw it.

This figure, beneath that holy light, was covered in wounds...

On the feet and legs, the exposed delicate skin was covered with deep scars that penetrated the bones, and large areas of ulcers...

Including the pair of wings that looked unusually full from a distance.

One of them seemed to have been torn off and hung on the ground...

At the broken part, you can clearly see the bone spur that penetrated the wing.

One of them had messy wings, like a bird trapped in a net struggling...

"Your blood saved me, and I will save you."

"Without your blood just now, I would have died."

"You'll die without me now."

The figure stood still.

"Wow..."

The scarred wings behind her slowly spread out and then closed.

Like a giant cocoon, it wrapped Lin Xing'an inside.

"It will stop hurting immediately..."

The ethereal voice came again.

The white feathers on her wings fluttered without wind.

A refreshing feeling of soaking in warm water on a cold winter day slowly came over me.

"call……"

As she finished speaking, Lin Xing'an felt that the darkness that kept trying to squeeze in and drill into his body, which he could not digest at all, was rapidly dissipating.

In other words, he was being absorbed by the "angel" that was embracing him with its wings.

Like snow under boiling water...

From a terrifying evil spirit, it transformed into little bits of light.

That crazy hunger, that feeling of my body about to explode, that mental pain...

Everything is receding...

Lin Xing'an had no doubt that as long as he wanted, all the gloom on him would disappear.

Isn’t this the ability of the legendary Taoyuan Village chief that Sister Qiao Qiao mentioned?

Lin Xing'an's thoughts gradually returned to normal.

Taoyuan Village...

Is Taoyuan Village really inside the light gate? Why does he feel so close to it?
What is the relationship between this coffin and Taoyuan Village?
Could this coffin really be the entrance to Taoyuan Village? Then what about the coffin in Puguang Temple?
And this "angel" in front of me...

She seems to be neither human nor a glutton...

All kinds of questions popped up in Lin Xing'an's mind!
He wanted to speak, but the physical and mental exhaustion from going through so much, coupled with the comfort and relaxation he felt now, made him feel like he was in a dream, and it was difficult for him to even open his mouth...

It feels like I might fall asleep at any moment...

"If you don't save me, I will die."

"If I don't save you, you will die too."

The dark cloud in the sky completely dissipated.

The moonlight seemed to illuminate the villa again.

But in Lin Xing'an's eyes, there was only the light door and the light on the angel in front of him.

"But even if you survive today, you will still die a week later."

"And I have reasons why I absolutely cannot die. I have things I must accomplish, and they are definitely more profound than yours."

"If I die, more people will die."

"So, I owe you a favor."

Wrapped in the wings, the ethereal voice came to Lin Xing'an's ears.

It seemed like just a calm statement, but Lin Xing'an could hear a hint of sadness in the voice.

What do you mean I would have died in a week...

A week later...

It's the 24th, the Taogui's "Mother" ceremony at Puguang Mountain...

That ritual will kill me?
Why……

Fragmented information flashed through Lin Xing'an's drowsy mind.

"If you're lucky enough to be alive after a week."

"If I'm lucky enough to be alive fifteen years later, I'll repay you this favor when we meet again."

The pair of wings slowly folded and fell to the ground.

The angel also stood up again and walked towards the light gate.

"Do not……"

Lin Xing'an held her hand.

This made the angel's body stiffen, as if it had not expected that Lin Xing'an still had the strength.

But he didn't get rid of it.

"Fifteen years is too long..."

"Since you said I would die in seven days, then give it back to me now..."

Lin Xing'an's voice was extremely weak and frivolous.

Although his physical strength had been overdrawn to the limit, his spirit was also extremely weak and exhausted.

But he still bit his lip, trying not to fall asleep.

"..."

The angel stopped.

"I'm sorry, I can't save you from what happened seven days later. I don't have the ability to save you."

"Because you are the sacrifice, all sacrifices will be sacrificed."

Her voice was still extremely calm, but this time there was a hint of compassion hidden in the calmness.

"Sacrifice..."

Lin Xing'an repeated in a low voice, feeling a great sadness in his heart.

Humans and animals, sacrifices...

But we are obviously human beings...

His chest was heaving. "I wonder..."

Lin Xing'an held the angel's hand tightly and bit his tongue hard.

Otherwise, he felt that he might faint on the ground at any time.

"I want to know, what will happen after seven days? What is a sacrifice?"

"I want to know how we can get to Taoyuan Village..."

"I want to know what's on the other side of this light gate..."

"Why do I...I feel so close..."

Lin Xing'an asked all at once.

He raised his head, looking confusedly at the only light source in the darkness before him, the light door that seemed to be calling him home...
