Chapter 8: The Headless Guard
Ye Jin turned on the lamp and looked at the real appearance of this room - the walls were gray and white, and there was a simple round table in the middle, and there were some tea sets on the table, which seemed to serve hot tea at any time as long as needed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info they sat on several stone benches around the table to rest. If there were no lights, they might have thought they were sealed in ice, but the only warmth in this humble room was body temperature and exhalation.
J Jie probed the teapot with his hand, and it burned so hot that his hand reflexively popped open. He thought it was an illusion, but when he lifted the teapot and poured it, it turned out to be a tempting stream of tea. He poured cup after cup with surprise and joy, and wanted to taste it quickly, but as soon as he grabbed the teacup and put it down again-Guangling, is the water for making tea......
"Ye Jin......" J Jie didn't know how to speak, although this banshee was not hostile, but out of the heart of the demon slayer, she would not fully believe the demon.
Ye Jin hung the lamp on one of the walls, but the light reflected a door, no different from the door they had entered, just a little taller - they didn't have to bend down to walk over. Then, she walked straight to the round table and, without saying anything, picked up a cup of tea and drank it down.
J Jie's heart was a little fixed, and he tasted the tea first. He saw that Zi Lan had not yet woken up, and when he touched Zi Lan's face, it was as cold as frost, and he felt nervous in his heart. Zi Lan is always so cold, how many people are willing to give Zi Lan warmth?
"Whew-whew!" the light flickered a few times, but finally went out. The two teenagers lined up and slammed the door shut.
I only heard "Bang." I couldn't see the simple and warm room scene just now, and I couldn't see the closed door, but I saw ice cubes all around, and Wang Zinuo and J Xi were already here.
"What about Ye Jin?" Wang Zinuo saw that everyone was there, and the banshee had disappeared, only for a short time when the lights flashed and went out, and she disappeared? Or was she covered by a false light along with those so-called "real"?
They all looked at Wang Zinuo and J Hee in amazement, and they didn't know what happened to them, they came here through another door, and why they had to close the door in a hurry.
Wang Zinuo raised his hand and used the lamp on the liaison device to illuminate everywhere, but he didn't find any trace of Ye Jin, but the tea on the table caught Ji Xi's attention. J Xi hurriedly drank a few big sips of tea to suppress the shock.
"Brother, what's going on?"
"Guangling...... Guard!" J Hee said these two words with great difficulty.
The purple pupils, who were still resting, suddenly became lively and asked, "Guangling." And the guards?"
"Yes, I guess it's also the guards of Guangling, but we just heard some noises and made a guess. We happened to see a door in the wall and hid in. Wang Zinuo said and regretted that he didn't pay attention to it just now.
"You guys, be careful. Although Ling Junyi's tone of voice was indifferent, he also cared about the team.
"Hmm. You all have a good rest, I still want to go out for a walk—look at the face of that Guangling guard!" Wang Zinuo said, and he had already walked to the door.
"I want to go out too!"
"Purple Pupil, I'll accompany you. ”
Ling Junyi and Zitong followed Wang Zinuo out. When the door closed, Zi Lan woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, his blue-green eyes were already full of tears, and he choked up and said: "I had a long dream, you all disappeared, I am alone, so sad, so sad......"
"It's okay, Zi Lan, it's just a dream, just wake up!" J Jie comforted him and picked up another cup of tea for Zi Lan.
Zi Lan took a sip of tea, and said intermittently: "Then, I saw my mother, I quickly hugged her, and she also hugged me, very real, but I knew - this is impossible!" His words were like a dream, but he was still awake, but he had never been so helpless as he was now--bean-sized tears slid down his cheeks one by one. With tears in his eyes, he saw that they were still there, perhaps his heart had been broken more than once when he woke up from his dream, but for the first time - they were beside him.
Fortunately, there are J Jie and J Xi, and the three big boys are warm to each other in this simple room.
On the other side, Zitong, Wang Zinuo, and Ling Junyi walked around the aisles in the castle.
"Purple Pupil, I'm going over there to look for it, do you want to come with me?" Wang Zinuo asked.
"I'm just idle and out for a walk. ”
Wang Zinuo looked at Ling Junyi beside Zitong, and ran towards the depths of the passage with confidence, and soon disappeared.
"Purple Pupil, are you trying to find something?" asked Ling Junyi.
"Hmm. But I don't know what I'm looking for, you know?"
"I don't ...... No, it's not. I just ......" Ling Junyi wanted to say something, but it was difficult to express it clearly, "Purple Pupil, do you know that Guangling is actually a labyrinth?"
"Ahh This feeling...... It's weird!"
"Then let's play a game, okay?" Ling Junyi said like a child, "Let's go separately and see if we can find each other!"
"Ling Junyi, what you want to say is that you don't want to go down with me?" Zitong said, but before Ling Junyi could answer, she quickly added, "That's good." So, am I going to turn around now, not look in the direction you left, and then wonder if we'll meet again in the same aisle, or walk through the same place, but not at the same time......
"You must take care of yourself when you go looking for it alone, but you must believe that we will meet again soon. Definitely!" That child's innocence appeared on the goblin's face again, without a trace of complexity, without the slightest whitewash, "Then turn around and don't peek!"
"Wait, wait. Do you need a lamp?"
"There are no lights, but I can see the road in my memory. Purple Pupil, you leave the lamp by your side - it works!"
Purple Hitomi nodded and turned around. She subconsciously turned off the lights. At this moment, she was facing a wall of ice, and his departing figure was reflected on the ice, and she stared at it until it was blurry and no longer visible.
The purple pupil turned around again, and only the ice wall remained. Ling Junyi, who looked like a child, disappeared into the interplay of light and shadow.
Just a game, he said. Didn't the purple pupil understand?
Would he have deceived her?
Looking for direction in a place where there is no direction, whoever is attached to the road will not be able to reach the destination. On the contrary, they simply want to find the answer in their hearts, and they don't care where the road is, and no matter how many times they get lost, they often reach the end and they don't know it.
Purple Hitomi is always uninhibited and indulgent on the path she wants to take. At this time, she shone the lamp forward, and couldn't help but be surprised.
It was a door. The height of the door is more than ten meters, the width is nearly ten meters, the whole door is shining with a silver-white luster, there is no excessive pattern embellishment on the door, it is still a pattern similar to a quadratic function image, the only difference is that on this huge image, there is a straight line rising from left to right to link the hyperbola and the coordinate axis together.
She stood in front of this door and only felt so small and humble. She couldn't see through the door, she couldn't know what lay ahead, she wanted to open it, and she did. But no matter how hard you pushed, the door still didn't move. She was so tired that she leaned against the door to rest, but she didn't give up. She recuperated quietly, and when her pounding heartbeat returned to normal, she heard footsteps of "da, da, da".
Could it be the guards of Guangling?
She crept around the corner of the passage, waiting for the mysterious one to arrive.
"Da!" the sound was already close to her ears - right now! She leaped to her feet, raised her foot, and kicked the comer's head quickly, hard, and accurately. I heard only a "shaking" sound, and it seemed that the guard's helmet had fallen to the ground. When she looked at it, "Ahh
The helmet had indeed fallen to the ground, but the armor where the helmet had been placed was now empty—the Guangling guard, without a head......
