Volume 1: The Storm of the Sea Chapter 20 The Shadow of Reality and Reality

This is the past

It's a vast ocean, and there's not a trace of land.

It was as if everyone was floating in the air, looking down at the world.

As the sky darkened, a dark mist slowly emerged from the sea, and the entire surface of the sea was shrouded in gray mist.

Faintly, a puff of black smoke floated out of nowhere, slowly intertwined with the gray mist, and seemed to condense into an entity.

The huge black shadow gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression, and the silhouette of the black shadow did not look like some creature, and it did not make any movements. But everyone knows that it is alive and terrifying.

Suddenly, the momentum of the entire black shadow changed, and it became violent and full of ominousness.

"It's awake", somehow everyone who looked at the shadow came to the thought, "This is the storm, this is destruction!"

The wind and clouds suddenly changed, and a thick shadow filled the sky, and terrifying thunder spread in it. The wind set off a monstrous wave, surging and surging, and even the blue waves lost their original color, turning into a deep and dead silence.

Neither the wind nor the waves could shake the shadows, not even the dark mist. They seem to be independent of the world, as if they are detached.

The shadow didn't stay still, it moved after all. As it moved, the storm seemed to be stirred up, condensing and bursting out again, sweeping away into the distance.

"It's Eye-Opening"

This was the last thought of the crowd.

Immediately, the surrounding scene was disillusioned, and the dark chasm spread and shrouded, and everyone fell into a deep fainting.

"Where is this?"

Arev awoke from the darkness, and his consciousness gradually became clear.

But then a tearing pain erupted from the skull, and the pain was so intense that Alex grabbed his head and began to moan.

After a while, the intermittent pain subsided, and Alets lay flat on the ground, gasping for breath.

However, Alez did not dare to delay much, and when the dull pain in his head subsided, he stood up with his body propped up, and he did not want to lose his life by an oversight.

Looking around, Alets found himself in the middle of a hall made of stone bricks. The whole hall was about fifty meters square, and although there was not a single torch to illuminate it, the whole hall was filled with a faint blue light, and the four walls were clearly visible.

Arezi approached a wall that was carved with symbols and motifs of unknown significance. Walking around the wall, the whole hall seemed to be one, and there was no exit to be found.

The interior of the hall is very empty, with no ornaments, except for the square tables in the four corners, which can barely be regarded as somewhat conspicuous, but not very prominent.

Aretz walked into a stone platform, which was not high, but only half a meter, and only a meter long and wide. He stretched out his hand and gently placed it in the center of the stone platform, and the carvings on the stone platform gradually lit up, showing a faint blue light, which made Alex quickly withdraw his palm, and the light was extinguished.

Looking at the four stone platforms, Arezi hesitated. Trapped in the stone room, there is no way to get out, and the only ones who can change are these four stone platforms, but how do you know that the stone platforms will not bring harm?

"Anyway, it's already desperate, and it's a death sooner or later if you can't leave here. ”

As the minutes ticked by, Alex finally couldn't help it. After wandering for a long time, he still put his hand on a stone platform.

The carvings on the stone platform began to glow, and the more power in the hand, the more intense the light became. The light emitted by this stone platform was a little different, it was no longer blue light, but a blue-green light.

This difference caught Alez's attention, and he slowed down his strength and turned to look at the other stone platforms.

Orange-red, turquoise, indigo, brownish-yellow

The inscriptions on the four stone platforms lit up together, emitting different lights, especially the turquoise stone platform that Arizi pressed.

"What does this mean?" Looking at the four different colors of light, Alez hesitated, and when life and death were in his hands, the original decisiveness disappeared in an instant.

"There can be no further delay. After thinking about it, he still made up his mind and slowly walked towards indigo: "Indigo like the sea, I hate you, everything I have encountered is the sin of the sea, but on the isolated island, maybe the indigo of the sea is the best choice." ”

As the strength of the hand increased, the light on the inscription became thick and substantial, enveloping Alez and turning into a light cocoon.

The light cocoon burst out with such a bright light that even Alex in the light cocoon couldn't help but cover his eyes.

The light slowly dissipated, and Areci's eyes slowly opened, and what greeted him was no longer a stone wall, but a straight passage, and at the other end of the passage was a high platform. This space is also filled with a faint blue light, but it is more indigo than the stone room.

The passage is not long, only about ten meters, and the walls on both sides are carved with some patterns, and most of them are blue.

I can't tell what is depicted, but there is an inexplicable rule, at least to understand that they are not random graffiti.

Alekse shifted his steps, along the passageway, down the stone steps, towards the top of the platform.

As soon as he stepped onto the stone steps, it was as if something was pulling him, and his gaze was firmly locked on the top of the high platform.

The first stone step is not high, only thirty centimeters, and climbing the first step is just lifting and lowering the legs, but the feeling of Alets is not so easy.

Every time he stepped up a stone staircase, there was less traction upward. As he moved upwards one step at a time, a cool feeling spread to his back.

At first, it was just like a cool breeze blowing through my sweat-soaked back. Later, it was like a cold hand in winter, with a chill, sticking to the neck. Later, that coldness did not have a real sense, but became an inexplicable fear, an inexplicable fear.

The stone steps are no more than a hundred, and it stands to reason that it will not take much time to climb the high platform, but Alez's steps are getting slower and slower.

He kept swallowing his saliva, and beads of sweat condensed on the back of his forehead and neck, and before the beads of sweat could slip off, they turned into ice particles in the chill between the virtual and the real, covering his face with a layer of frost.

In the blink of an eye, Alex had reached the sixty steps, and his steps became extremely stiff, as if his joints had been bandaged several times, and he could not move freely.

"Should I continue to go up?" The lingering chill made Allez gain some clarity from his upward obsession. But before he could think about it, those Xu Qingming were blurred and stiffened by the cold, making him fall into an instinctive dispute again.

Sixty-seven, sixty-eight, sixty-nine, Aretz finally stopped here, the upward obsession had been balanced with the chill behind him, and he could no longer drive him to take a step forward.

But the balance could not satisfy the chill and the obsession, they were arguing and stalemate, which made Alex's body suffer a lot.

His body was already covered with shallow hoarfrost, and he stood stiff, but he couldn't stop trembling lightly. His eyes could no longer hold the heavy eyelids, and he slowly closed.

"I ...... Should...... What are you doing," Alez's residual consciousness prompted him to murmur in a low voice, "I...... Should...... Where to go?"

"You should step on this high platform," he whispered inexplicably, as if answering his question.

"I ...... Profile...... Where?"

"Right in front of you," the deep voice came again.

"In front of you?" the inexplicable voice seemed to stimulate Alex's consciousness, driving his body to step on the seventieth stone step.

When he stepped on the seventieth stone step, the chill suddenly erupted, tearing the upward obsession to shreds. A terrible chill spread throughout Alex's body, and at once his limbs were restrained, and he fell straight on the stone steps.
