Chapter 155 (1)
On the other side, in the camphor forest.
In the dark, it seems to have noticed something. The day and night whipping devices all stopped working, the huge wooden man raised his head stiffly, looked into the depths of the endless forest, and murmured:
“…what.”
“Is something wrong?” Su Mai poked his head out from behind the trolley, his face was ugly, “I seem to feel something terrible…”
The wooden man lowered his eyes and did not speak. After a while, Fang heard a **** bear next to Su Mai say in a deep voice: “Something terrible has appeared.”
“Don’t ask. Don’t look. Don’t think. Don’t perceive.”
“…” Su Mai glanced at it delicately, then looked at the wooden man behind him who closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, and couldn’t help but whispered, “No, I’ve been here for so long, you still dare not use the main body talk to me?”
The wooden man pretended not to understand what he was saying, and insisted on speaking through the mouth of the **** bear: “Push all the worms into the worm house. Bring all the people here.”
The so-called “here” refers to the altar paved with a large piece of blood-colored amber in front of its body. At this moment, a large number of black bears and white bears were running around the altar, either carrying stretchers in twos, or pushing small carts alone. On the stretcher and the trolley, there were basically parasites who had been sent in by other capable users before and had not been purified, including the batch sent in by Xu Tueran just now.
Out of caution, Su Mai and Big Black Bear knocked them all out at the very beginning of their plan. After being knocked out, all hands, feet and eyes were tied, and at a glance, they looked like rice dumplings being urgently transported.
Among the zongzi on the ground, there were only two exceptions—just in front of the wooden man, two figures were lying side by side, with their hands and feet stretched out, and soft leaves under their bodies.
The leaves that the two put on came from a big green tree that was three stories high. Now it was standing on the edge of the altar, stretching the branches as far as possible, covering both of them under its own shade.
One of them was Yang Buqi who had been sleeping since the day before in order to upgrade. Perhaps because of the side effect of the upgrade of life tendency, his body is covered with twigs at the moment. Not only that, the overflowing vitality even affects other existences around him. Many small flowers bloomed on the wooden man’s body.
And the other one is Xu Tuoran who just exploded into fireworks outside not long ago.
Of course, because of the location, the wooden man and Su Mai knew nothing about the bombing of another “Xu Tuoran”. They only knew that not long ago, Xu Tuoran rushed to the entrance of the camphor forest in a hurry, pulled out a white bear from inside, told it to go to sleep, and asked it to take his body and belongings into the forest and release it. Well, it includes a mobile phone with recordings stored on it, and I want to emphasize again and again that the recordings in it are very important.
As early as the first time he got the phone to record, Su Mai had already listened to the contents, more than once. It should be said that all the psychological preparations should be made—but at this moment, when he noticed the changes outside the forest, he still couldn’t help feeling his scalp tingling.
Strictly speaking, he didn’t see anything. This forest is protected by a domain, so you can’t see what’s going on outside, even if Xu Tuoran has connected it to his domain, this doesn’t change; but there are some things that you can detect even without “seeing”.
Such as surging power, such as the shrouded shadow, such as some kind of inexplicable fear that appears out of thin air…
When Su Mai was a child, he took his younger sister to the construction site to play, and saw a steel plate taller than him fall from a height with his own eyes. Fortunately, he was standing in a very coincidental position, still some distance away from the falling point of the steel plate. Even so, when the steel plate approached, he still felt a strong sense of oppression, as if the sky was collapsing, and the **** of death Roaring, the soul seems to be pulled out of the body.
But at this moment, he still didn’t see anything, obviously he didn’t see anything. But that kind of helpless daze and instinctive fear is more than a thousand times stronger than that time.
…Forget it.
Closing his eyes hard, Su Mai said to himself.
Don’t think, don’t guess, don’t look, don’t perceive.
This is the key point mentioned in the recording left by Xu Tueran.
[The [thing] newly summoned by the two iron nematodes is estimated to be very powerful… In order to restrict it, I have already expanded a field in the park and connected it with the field of the camphor forest. In addition, I have also delineated multiple countries within the scope of the two domains, and each country has left a series of rules, which should be able to block it for a while. 】—Xu Tuoran said so in the recording.
Among them, there are two most important rules. First, all lands are allowed to enter but not to exit. If you want to leave, you must stay for a certain period of time or obtain the consent of the rule creator.
Second, giants are unsightly under their feet. Therefore, within the scope of the country, any existence will find it difficult to detect existences lower than itself, including the traces left by them.
This means that the “thing” summoned by the iron nematodes will not be able to reach the camphor forest for a period of time—or in other words, it will not be able to continue to “see” here.
As for the people in the woods, there are only two things to do at present. First of all, don’t take the initiative to provoke it, including “watching” it. Secondly, guard Xu Tuoran’s body until she wakes up.
Before, I thought there was no difficulty in listening… But now, because of that strange pressure, Su Mai dare not make any judgments.
“You should have left before you.” The **** bear looked at the other end of the forest defensively, and a dry voice came out from the hood, “When I heard the recording, I told you to leave.”
“Come on. I’m gone and you’re alone again. Those big bears are clumsy, you can’t even play the recording without me.” Su Mai muttered, looking thoughtfully at the lying on the ground with both eyes Xu Turan, who was tightly closed, took a deep breath.
“And I guess, today’s match should be very important, right? At least, for Xu Tuoran, it is very important?”
Noticing the sudden turn of the head of the **** bear next to him, he smiled: “Don’t look at me like that. I’m not stupid. I didn’t remember before…”
In the case of retaining memory, continue to be active in the camphor forest. There is always something to be found. What’s more, during this period of time, Shangguan Qi would also return to the camphor forest from time to time—combined with some information obtained from her, coupled with the attitude of the domain master towards Xu Tuoran, some answers are already obvious.
Su Mai had already guessed it, and he felt that Shangguan Qi should have guessed it too. About Xu Tuoran, about this world, about the future of mankind.
Therefore, in today’s match, he will not retreat no matter what. It’s a joke to use a mantis’ arms as a cart, but it’s also a virtue.
“However, I have to make a request to you.” Su Mai felt the strange coldness coming from outside the forest, and took a deep breath, “Is my ability label still kept with you? Promise me, unless you really want to Start the fight, otherwise don’t pay me back.”
The **** bear turned its head, as if a little strange: “Why.”
“… Among my abilities, there is a skill that can directly view the global map in my consciousness.” Su Mai pursed her lips, “If you return the ability to me, I will definitely not be able to resist using that skill to see it. But I have a hunch—”
According to the current situation, when he unfolded the map, he would definitely see something terrifying.
Something so terrifying that it might drive him crazy.
at the same time.
Xu Tuoran is trying to hurry.
In front of her was a rugged mountain road leading to nowhere, and she couldn’t see her fingers. Above her head was a boundless and quiet night sky with no stars or moons. Under her feet was a band of colored light that was flowing silently, pointing quietly to the depths of the blackness.
And in her mind, there was a chattering, annoying voice that made people a little irritable.
“Come on!” The system couldn’t help cheering her up in her consciousness, “Hurry up! Those little tricks you left behind won’t stop that projection for too long, you have to hurry up and climb to the top of the mountain!”
“…I’m not trying to catch up.” Xu Tuoran restrained and closed his eyes, “By the way, who allowed you to get into my mind again?”
“You can’t blame me. Who told you to stuff me into your split body before.” The system plausibly said, “Your split body exploded, so I naturally have to transfer. Then the big cultivator projection is hung on it, do I still have to rely on it?” Is the main body crawling slowly?”
Of course, it is faster to directly transfer to Xu Tuoran’s body consciousness. It just so happened that Xu Tuoran was in a deep sleep at that time, and he didn’t care to drive it out, so it naturally squatted inside, and followed Xu Tuoran’s consciousness all the way into the Changye Mountain Range.
That’s right, the Long Night Mountain Range—with the explosion of the split body left by Xu Tueran not long ago, the last part of the plot required for the ceremony was finally declared complete. Xu Tuoran won 10,000 death points in one go, and at the same time, there are two unlocking rewards:
[Designated entry ticket for the Long Night Mountain Range], and [Guidelines for Traveling the Long Night Mountain Range].
This is also the reason why Xu Tuoran is here at the moment – she has regained the qualification to use the long night tendency, but if she wants to fully regain her power, she still needs to complete this part of the road by herself.
Of course, there is no time for her to walk slowly now, and there is no need for that. “Guidelines for Roaming in the Long Night Mountains” is enough for her to return to her proper height as quickly as possible. But the question now is whether they can complete this journey before the Educator’s projection is completely freed from its restraints.
As of now, Xu Tuoran has completed his journey from the firefly level to the candle level, and now he is rushing to the light level with all his strength. It’s a pity that “Walking Guide” and other proxy effects cannot be superimposed, otherwise she could be faster.
“…I still think it’s too risky for you to do this.” The system still felt hairy after thinking about it, “It’s okay to rely on the split body to give away the head to achieve the plot. You actually plan to use the Chen-level order to block the projection of the breeder… It’s like trying to drive a horse with noodles…”
“There’s nothing you can do if the risk is high. You have to find a way to hold it back.” Xu Tuoran kept walking, “Also, please correct me, my order is not at the Chen level.”
System: “…Huh?”
“Ascension to the stars.” Xu Tuoran said lightly, “Just when you and I were working hard to give away the head together.”
system:”!!”
No, so fast!
“I have always upgraded quickly in order.” Xu Tuoran took it for granted, “And this time I also took points from the belief box and put it in…”
Not only that, but the little white rabbit was also extraordinarily powerful this time. Xu Turan watched helplessly as it transformed from a little white rabbit into a big white deer with a tree growing on its head, carrying him on its back and galloping all the way. Coupled with the number of steps replaced by points, the speed is naturally faster.
…But that big white deer seems to be a bit out of his mind. He didn’t know what to think, and kept producing little white rabbits with the tree fork above his head while he was driving. As he ran, the little white rabbits like snowballs followed along The wind blows back, and those who are lucky will fall into Xu Turan’s arms, and those who are unlucky will be thrown directly to the ground.
Those little white rabbits that fell on the ground even chased after the deer, and continued to dance on the ground with their ears propped up… Xu Tuoran didn’t know if this kind of scene was scary, but she knew it must be considered sick.
In any case, before the split body successfully delivered the head, she successfully promoted herself to the order star. This means that the land and rules she arranged in advance have also been upgraded to the strength of a star-and these, together with the domain she originally delineated, are all the means she uses to block the projection of the breeder.
Assuming that these obstacles can be successful, then Xu Tuoran’s thank you list must include two iron nematodes—the main reason is that they chose their positions well.
The location they use to summon the projection is quite close to the camphor forest. And there are two star fragments and her altar sealed in the camphor forest. According to the system, this is very attractive to the projection of the educator. In other words, as long as it can detect the existence of power in the camphor forest, its first goal must be the camphor forest, and naturally it will not think about breaking through Xu Tuoran’s domain and going further afield.
And in her domain, apart from the blood moon that can cause dementia and chaos, there are also small pieces of regional land. There are other binding rules in the country, as long as the educator’s projection touches it, it will take effect naturally.
These small tricks are arranged under the projection of the educator, so they will not touch God’s punishment. However, when the rules were forcibly broken, Xu Tueran had to suffer some backlash—in fact, her heart hurt once during the rush.
Of course, she didn’t expect her restraint rules to stop that broken projection for a long time. But the strength of the star is there, even if it wants to forcibly break the rules, it will take a little time.
“Understood. The role of these lands is equivalent to a series of slow traps. The existence of the camphor forest is the bait to attract the projection to go into the trap—”
The system concluded on its own, and then exhaled.
“You should be glad that the power of this projection is not very strong.” It murmured, “At least not strong enough to directly crush you.”
When the projection appeared, it was hiding in Xu Tuoran’s separate consciousness, watching the scene. According to its visual inspection, the final condensed height of the projection is about ten meters, which is almost the difference between a killer whale and a humpback whale compared to the knockoffs made by the Omniscient Worm.
The system guessed that this should not be the really stretched body shape of this projection, and it was not fully stretched, most likely because Xu Tuoran’s “domain” added a ceiling to it—in other words, it was not strong enough to ignore Xu Tuoran’s body shape. vain domain.
Thinking about it this way, Xu Tuoran’s traps may really have a certain delay effect… Realizing this, the system’s mood stabilized a little bit, and then it was a little strange: “But how did you predict the power of this projection?” Guess? You haven’t seen it.”
“Estimate? What estimate. I didn’t estimate anything.” Xu Tuoran was puzzled, and hurried forward a few steps along the light belt under his feet, only to see a ball of light not far away lit up like a will-o’-the-wisp.
She hurriedly reached out to touch the light spot, but the system was stunned.
“No estimate? Then how do you know that your method will work? What if the projection is particularly strong this time?”
“Then I’ll die. What else can I do?” Xu Tuoran said indifferently, lightly touching the glossy spot with his finger.
There was no hint in her mind, but she could naturally feel the power pouring in—the Long Night Inclination she had just taken back had already reached the lamp level.
With the flow of power, the surrounding scene also quietly changed. The originally dark surroundings were suddenly lit up, and a large number of fragmented images appeared on the left and right, like an automatically playing animation.
Xu Tueran didn’t slow down his pace, and kept looking to both sides: “What are these?”
“Your past memories.” The system said lightly, “If you are interested, you can take a look. But don’t pay special attention. When you reach the end, they will be unified.”
Xu Tuoran responded casually, and his eyes stopped curiously on one of the fragments. Immediately afterwards, the broken picture suddenly unfolded, like a long picture scroll, following her footsteps, it couldn’t stop stretching forward.
This saves Xu Tuoran the time to stop and watch. She glanced casually, and saw that the picture was a mass of dense black aggregates, hanging above the ground, constantly changing its shape—and in the distance, there was a tree branch growing on its head. A , white deer-like animal was watching it silently.
“Oh, I know this one, the one in the Palace of Order!” Xu Tuoran came to his senses, “Then it should be Yang Buqi? What is that black thing next to it?”
The system seemed to hesitate for a moment. Just as he was about to give an answer, the black shadow in the picture suddenly changed—it shrank and twisted a few times, as if it had finally made a decision, it snapped itself into the shape of a rabbit, and landed on the ground.
Seeing the situation, the white deer seemed quite curious, and cautiously walked a few steps in the direction of the black rabbit. The black rabbit ignored it at all, and just stood there by itself, as if thinking about something important.
“Why doesn’t it move?” Xu Tuoran wondered, “What is it thinking?”
“… thinking about how to walk.” The system murmured.
Xu Tuoran: “?”
“At this time, it doesn’t have a special understanding of the creatures in this world…” The system tried to give an explanation, but before it finished speaking, the black rabbit finally started to move—
I saw that it folded its round head down, propped itself on the ground with its two ears, and propped itself up perfectly.
Xu Tuoran: “…”
system:”…”
The white deer in the tree branch in the picture: “…”
“Is there something wrong with its brain?” Xu Tuoran gave his opinion more politely.
The system did not speak. In the picture, the white deer on the tree branch hesitated for a while, then suddenly fell to the ground—its snow-white body began to wither and rot rapidly, and a white ball formed on the tree branch above its head.
Bai Tuanzi broke away from the branch, spread its limbs, and turned into a white rabbit about the same size as the black rabbit. It bounced around the black rabbit, as if showing off its limbs. And the black rabbit…
It stared at the white rabbit for a while, then stomped its ears suddenly, and a pair of slender rabbit ears emerged from its head—
Now, it also has four legs.
Not only that, but it also turned its upside-down body at ninety degrees, with its four feet facing the sky, and several pairs of rabbit ears grew on its back, supporting it on the ground, supporting it to run around happily…
After a while, he ran away.
There was only one white rabbit left. After thinking for a moment, he tried to turn his head over, stepped on the ground with two ears, and wobbled after the black rabbit.
The picture went completely dark at this point, and it no longer followed Xu Tuoran’s footsteps. Xu Tuoran ran forward a few more steps with a blank expression, and took a deep breath while touching his aching heart again.
“So I’m that stupid rabbit, right?” she said.
system:”…”
System: “I’ve never said anything bad about that rabbit.”
So that’s her, didn’t run away.
Xu Tuoran closed his eyes silently, and his gaze inadvertently glanced at another fragmented picture—in that picture, there was a piece of cracked earth covered with dried up magma. A large group of black shadows firmly entrenched on the crater, and the condensed body was no less than that of a volcano.
And beside that big group of black shadows, there is a…
A thing that looks like Godzilla.
It also looks quite big, about the height of a volcano when standing upright. The skin is grey, covered with mud and vegetation. As it dances, you can also see large pieces of mud and plants falling down.
…yes, dancing.
This Godzilla-like thing is dancing to the shadows. The footsteps were so thumping that even across the screen, Xu Tuoran could feel the earth shaking.
She watched in silence for a while. He said without a word: “That black shadow is also me, right?”
System: “Yes.”
“Then why do I let such a thing jump in front of me?” Xu Tuoran couldn’t help but said, “Wouldn’t it be better to just eat it?”
“I’m eating.” The system said, “I can’t finish it.”
Xu Tuoran: “…?”
“This is Yang Buqi’s original appearance.” The system coughed.
Xu Tuoran: “…”
Okay, it looks pretty energetic. Just a little silly.
She pondered for a while, but still felt strange: “Then what happened to that tree branch white deer just now?”
“That’s his later form. It was probably settled in the Neogene era.” The system said indifferently, “Actually, it changed a few times in the middle… For courtship, you always have to find a way to make yourself look better. ”
Later, Xu Tuoran inexplicably liked the shape of the rabbit, and ran around with his ears on the bottom of the earth or in the dreams of other creatures every day. The ancient will of the planet resolutely chose to join, and it also became a rabbit.
Xu Tuoran: “…”
You don’t have to learn everything from me.
While speaking, a light spot that symbolizes the torch level can be faintly seen in front of his eyes. As Xu Tuoran approached, the number of fragmented pictures around him increased sharply. At the same time, her heart felt even more uncomfortable—
Realizing that this should be another trap that the Educator’s projection had broken through, she pursed her lips and had no choice but to calm down and continue running along the colored light belt.
She reached out to touch the light spot, and the world suddenly shook.
All the floating images were instantly extinguished, and the world returned to pure darkness. In the next second, a corner of the night sky above his head collapsed in an instant, revealing a huge eye that was peering downward.
In those eyeballs, there seemed to be a large number of symbols circulating. It turned and looked down, where everything fell into pieces—
The ground broke into countless fragments, some floated and some collapsed, like a glacier after a shock, and the darkness fell off like old wall skin, revealing strong but disordered colors like oil crayons. In the muddy color, another eye opened suddenly, staring at the same dirty eyeballs, as if looking for something.
Xu Tueran’s heart skipped a beat, he instinctively avoided his gaze, and stretched out his hand, only to find that the spot of light that was close at hand had once again submerged into the darkness at this moment.
At the same time, the scream of the system exploded in my mind—
“Oops! It found out, it found out everything! It knows this is the key, it’s interfering, it doesn’t want you to go on—”
Before he finished speaking, he heard another scream from it.
There was no more sound after that.
Xu Tuoran froze for a moment, shouted a few words in his mind, but got no response.
At the same time, the band of colored light that had been broken into several sections also dimmed visibly with the naked eye—fortunately, it only dimmed, and did not completely disappear.
“…All right.” Xu Tuoran exhaled and lowered his body vigilantly, “It seems that I can only go forward by myself.”
According to the meaning of the system, it should be that the educator’s projection has let his own consciousness come to this upgrade space in some way, and interfered with the process and form here…
But no matter what, as long as you continue to follow the guidance of the color light and continue to move forward, it should be fine, right?
Xu Tuoran guessed, jumped forward vigorously, and landed on another rock in front of him.
She also tried going over to attack those popping eyes. After finding that it was useless, she gave up decisively—to support the operation of several countries and rules, it was a burden for her.
Fortunately, these eyes seem to have no other purpose other than looking irritating. Even so, Xu Tuoran avoided their sight as much as possible and rushed forward as fast as possible—however, she soon discovered that she was naive.
A bright spot of light soon appeared in front of his eyes. She quickly jumped in that direction, and the moment her feet landed on the ground, the surrounding scene suddenly changed again.
She stood in the middle of a road.
Surrounded by pedestrians coming and going. Wearing different clothes, none of them can see their faces clearly. There are row upon row of buildings on both sides of the road, unified as if copied and pasted, even the words on them have not been changed.
Xu Tuoran stood there in a daze, his heart sinking involuntarily. She tried to release skills towards the surroundings, but the crowd was like flowing water, only being cut apart for a short moment, and soon gathered again.
…what is this, hallucination? What about the Long Night Mountains?
Xu Tuoran lowered his head, and saw that the road under his feet was quite regular, without any trace of colored light.
…Even the clues of guidance were erased?
Xu Tuoran frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand tentatively, but he didn’t touch anything except the shoulder of the person in front of him. The pedestrian who was touched turned his head in dissatisfaction, and was about to slap Xu Tuoran’s hand away, but she grabbed his wrist.
watch.
Xu Tuoran’s eyes widened slightly, his gaze swept across the surrounding crowd again, and he finally noticed something – most of the wrists of these pedestrians were empty.
No frills.
However, a small number of pedestrians wear watches on their wrists.
Moreover, these watches all have a uniform standard, which is also the standard that Xu Tuoran is most familiar with—it is the same watch that Yang Buqi gave her.
As if he understood something, Xu Tuoran pushed the newcomer away, ignoring his cursing. She walked forward against the crowd, using all the people wearing the same watch as a guidepost, and ran halfway across the road like this, a bright light burst out in front of her eyes—
Belongs to the light of the brilliance level.
She returned to the Long Night Mountain Range again, standing in front of the bright spot of light.
Without hesitation, Xu Turan plucked a ball from the ball of light, raised his head and glanced at the huge eye provocatively, and continued to rush forward along the shattered colored light band.
When the Chen-level ball of light also appeared not far away, the same change happened again—
But this time, what Xu Tuoran was on was not the road, but a dial.
All she had left was a head, which was stitched together on the hands of the clock. Below are twelve numbers arranged in order, and each number looks abnormal.
“1” is a dry flower branch, and “2” is a white rabbit with a broken ear. “3” is half a pursed lip…
Xu Tuoran turned his head with difficulty, and quickly searched the dial with his eyes – judging from the previous experience, this is probably a pure illusion. Only like those eyes, this illusion cannot be broken, only managed to pass through.
And if you want to pass through, you can only rely on clues. The guiding colored light will appear in another form here, what she needs to do is to find that hidden form…
Like the watch in the last hallucination.
This round made Xu Tuoran spend some time. Because the dry flower branch is very similar to the little pink flower, and the rabbit with the broken ear reminds her of Yang Buqi. Fortunately, just when she was hesitating, she noticed the “8” in the other direction—
It looks like two wristbands put together. From Xu Tuoran’s perspective, you can see the above cartoon pattern and the “COM” logo.
Commemorative wristband.
Xu vainly recognized this thing. Zhu Tang once asked Yang Buqi to bring one for himself, and now it is still in his bag.
She didn’t hesitate anymore, and tried to shake her head, spinning with the whole pointer. After turning around for half a circle with the momentum of a big windmill, she finally pointed her head to the position of “8” smoothly.
At the moment of alignment, white light appeared again. Xu Turan, who returned to the Changye Mountains, patted the Chen-level light ball in front of him without hesitation, and pointed an arrogant **** at the eyeballs on the top of his head.
It’s a pity that no death value is credited. This made Xu Tuoran feel as if he was flirting with blind people.
She clicked her tongue in her heart, and jumped forward a few fragments along the dim colored light. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the door symbolizing the end finally revealed its outline.
Because of this, Xu Tueran became a little wary, but nothing happened until she came to the door.
No hallucinations, no hindrances. She came here staggeringly like that, in front of her was a closed silver door with a conspicuous keyhole.
Xu Tueran stared at the door for a while, then looked down at his feet again, only to find that at some point, the colorful lights under his feet had been completely extinguished.
With a sudden movement in her heart, she quickly turned her head and looked around. After searching for a long time with her eyes wide open, she finally saw a vague outline.
It was a great pyrenes.
It was standing not far away, waving at her vigorously. There is deep darkness behind me, and I don’t know where to lead.
Xu Tuoran pursed his lips, turned around without thinking, and ran towards the big white bear. After running a few steps, he turned his head as if feeling something, but saw that the keyhole on the door had turned into an eye at some point. He was watching her coldly.
This time, Xu Tuoran didn’t even want to give it a middle finger. She turned around indifferently, put her hand on the outstretched forelimb of the big white bear beside her, and followed it into the darkness in front of her eyes.
The darkness was so thick that it almost turned into substance, but every step Xu Tuoran took was firm and firm without hesitation. The great white bear’s guidance didn’t last long. After leading Xu Tuoran into the darkness, he bowed respectfully, turning into flowing colorful light, and completely submerged into Xu Tuoran’s body.
Xu Tuoran tilted his head, as if he understood something, stretched out his hand to caress the darkness around him, as if stroking his beloved pet, then raised his footsteps again, and walked deeper.
Following her footsteps, something seemed to be slowly waking up in her mind. She originally thought that this would be a very important change, but now she realizes that it doesn’t seem to be a big deal—
It’s like a large sheet of loose coins, stuffed back into the piggy bank one by one, that’s all.
She thought of her fall, of her burning heat, of destruction and rebirth, of her wild laughter and dancing.
She remembered that she once had a skirt made of nightmares, the skirt was so long that it almost grew over the river of flesh and blood. Sometimes it seems boring, she will directly tear off a piece from it and throw it into the ocean where human dreams gather.
As for where the corner of the skirt will drift with the ocean current, she never cares.
If she opens her belief box at this time, she will find that the originally dark and large spots of light in the box are gradually lighting up—not the ones she later lit up in the name of “Holy One” and “Creator”. It’s those parts that already existed in the box, but have always been dim.
Only when God remembers who He is, those beliefs and the world that were born for Him have meaning of existence.
But Xu Turan didn’t care.
She no longer cares how much light shines on her, just as she doesn’t care that her body is dissolving as she travels, dissolving in the flowing darkness.
She wanders through chaos and long night, as if wandering in her own country. She adjusted the rhythm with the beast roar and thunder, as if following the most familiar rhythm. She took out all the remaining points in the belief box and converted them into steps. The replaced acting power turned into asymmetrical black wings, supporting her gradually dissolving body, dancing in the spreading nightmare.
Carry her to the final boundary of the mountain range, revealing the closed door at the end.
The eyes on the top of his head let out a long and angry roar, Xu Tuoran just pretended not to hear, took out the key of the long night calmly, and at the same time spread the filthy fog in the sky—
Taking advantage of the moment when the filthy fog blocked the gaze of the eyes, she quickly inserted the key into the lock, and opened the long night gate in front of her.
click.
It sounded like a cracking shell.
the other side.
Jiang Lin was galloping in the scorching light.
Everlasting Prison. An upgrade space with the most uncomfortable-sounding name. After entering, the explorer will have a unique prisoner number, and the only way to upgrade is to keep completing the requirements of the “prison guard” one by one, so as to constantly change to a higher cell.
There are various cells, some of which contain runes or ancient knowledge, and some contain orbs that can be upgraded. Jiang Lin patiently squatted in all the cells he could go to, except the last one.
The room where the stars are hidden.
At this moment, she was using the last time to run towards that room.
Footsteps slammed into the narrow aisle, making a heavy sound. Behind her is a roaring warning, and above her head is a dazzling and shaking light. The cells on both sides were originally empty, but as she approached, a large number of arms stretched out from the iron sill, shaking and waving towards her.
Jiang Lin pretended not to be able to see them, and even rarely used his authority to control them to block the prison guards behind him. She knew that she didn’t have much time—she was just hiding her body now, but she didn’t escape the realm of the stars at all, nor could she escape the hunting range of the Educator’s projection. Regardless of the outcome, she must increase her survival capital as much as possible.
And the most effective way is to take a gamble and use the remaining time to go directly to the stars.
