Chapter 64: The Dream of Fear

Emil left the cliff and walked forward.

At some point, the dark road was obscured by fog.

The visibility was so low that Emil could not see the picture on her arm.

The fog was getting thicker and thicker, enveloping her.

Emil was trapped.

She could see nothing now.

The anger that her physical condition had caused had gradually cooled down.

Anxiety and fear of her position filled her heart.

The throbbing pain in her arm stimulated her nerves, keeping her awake at all times.

It protected her from being swallowed by the endless fog.

Even so, Emil knew that if she had not thought of a way, it was only a matter of time before she was lost in the fog.

What should she do?

Emil asked herself, but she could not give any answer.

Despair began to spread in her heart.

Fear grew unscrupulously.

The oppression made Emil feel as if she was about to suffocate.

In this state of mental tension and high tension, Emil could collapse at any time.

In the fog, all kinds of strange cries could be heard faintly.

This voice was fragile at first, but it became louder and louder as Emil’s emotions fluctuated.

The more she did not want to pay attention to it, the more Emil could hear it clearly.

Emil had never heard these cries before. It was bizarre.

It did not seem like a sound that humans could make, and it did not seem like a sound that common animals made.

If there was a way to describe this sound, Emil would not even think about it and would be able to give her an answer.

“Demon.”

The sound caused a chill to run down Emil’s spine and her entire body to turn cold.

How she wished that this was just a dream!

Emil prayed in her heart. Her body had already begun to tremble.

In her fear, Emil finally could not take it anymore. She began to run around in the fog impatiently.

But no matter how hard she tried, it was as if she could not break free from the fog.

And as she ran, she could feel that the terrifying voices that were torturing her were slowly approaching her.

This discovery made Emil scared and anxious.

She did not know what to do.

Finally, she could not help but sob and sob. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

But at this moment, a friendly call suddenly came from the fog.

“Emil, Emil! Where are you? Quickly come to mommy!”

The voice was like a lighthouse, instantly lighting up Emil’s heart.

“Mommy, this is mommy’s voice!”

Amir looked around. Initially, she could not see clearly, but a black shadow suddenly appeared in the white fog.

It was like a black dot on a piece of white paper. It was so eye-catching that it attracted Emil’s attention.

As if it felt Emil’s gaze, the black shadow twisted, and its figure gradually became clear.

“It’s mommy!”

Under Emil’s gaze, the black shadow’s form overlapped with the gentle figure in his memories.

The black shadow waved in his direction, and at the same time, the familiar call finally confirmed its direction.

“Emil! Emil! Where are you? Come to mommy quickly!”

Compared to before, there seemed to be a hint of urgency in her voice. However, it could be heard that the person who spoke was a little anxious.

Without any hesitation, Emil immediately ran in the direction of the black shadow.

The distance between her and the black shadow continued to close. As Emil continued to run, she could clearly see that the fog around her was starting to reduce and disappear.

Was she finally going to walk out?

Seeing this scene, Emil’s actions became even faster. Finally, she had really had enough of this damned fog.

Very soon, Emil ran to the vicinity of the black shadow.

And the black shadow’s real body also became increasingly clear in front of her eyes.

If it were the usual Emil, at this moment, she would definitely have noticed that this black shadow’s appearance was a little strange.

Because she was too tall, Emil’s mother was not that tall.

Furthermore, she was too thin. Although her mother was also skinny, the thinness displayed by the black shadow was not something that a normal person could have.

Unfortunately, there were no ifs.

Emil, who had lost her cool and even lost her ability to think and make decisions, only had that black shadow in her heart. That black shadow that she had mistaken for her mother.

“Mommy, I’m here! I’m here!”

Emil shouted excitedly as she ran.

She quickly ran to the front of the black shadow, then pounced on it and hugged it tightly.

“Mommy, don’t leave me again, okay? I’m earning money now, and I can support the two of us. We don’t have to face that person anymore. We’re free, mommy!”

The moment she hugged the shadow, Emil burst into tears. She wantonly vented her feelings, and all kinds of emotions poured out crazily along with her tears.

The fear, unease, hesitation, anger, anxiety, and other negative emotions along the way were all vented at this moment.

After venting, reason came back online and took control of Emil’s body.

After a short moment of joy, Emil suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Why was her firecracker body so rough and hard?

Thinking of this, Emil gently released her embrace and looked up.

With Emil’s gaze, the fog that blocked her vision began to dissipate.

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the person’s appearance in front of Emil.

Only then did she see clearly that the person she was holding was not her mother.

It was a tall, thin, and sinister scarecrow!

She was not unfamiliar with this scarecrow’s appearance. Instead, it was the enlarged version of the one that had appeared in her dormitory.

“Emil! Emil! Where are you? Quickly come to mommy!”

Feeling Emil’s gaze, the scarecrow’s sawtooth office opened and closed its mouth, letting out a kind voice.

Emil’s pale face of fear was reflected in the scarecrow’s eyes.

The corners of his mouth grew longer and longer until the corners of his mouth reached the ends of his ears.

The gentle voice formed a strong contrast with his ferocious and strange appearance, creating a huge difference.

At this moment, Emil only felt her scalp go numb, and her mind went blank.

The great fear turned into a flood that washed over her body, completely drowning her.

Thump! Thump!

Thump! Thump!

Under the intense fear, Emil’s heart beat violently, as if it was about to jump out of Emil’s chest.

She could clearly hear her own heartbeat, but Emil had never realized that her heartbeat was so loud.

It was as if she was beating a drum, causing her to be distracted.

The scene froze for a second before she let out a shrill scream. Then, she turned around and ran.

“Ah!”
