Chapter 68: Radiance

After drying the ink and checking it again, Liu Xiaohua settled down. I began to meditate again, and re-entered the space.

She was going to find out what her altar was

The water mirror didn't look too thick, and the things behind the water curtain were dark, but she couldn't see her reflection on the water screen. She thought that maybe it was a sign that the water mirror didn't follow the physical rules of the real world, and that it was special.

After all, in this space, it is not that Qiē does not follow the rules of the real world, there is gravity, she maintains the shape of a person, there is the earth, there is the sky. Only it is different.

Most likely, this water mirror is her altar itself.

Liu Xiaohua approached the water mirror. She could still feel its calling. She tried, slowly, to reach for the water mirror, and when she was a few centimeters away from touching the water mirror, the water suddenly bulged in the direction of her fingers, and the moment it touched her fingers, it wrapped her whole hand.

Liu Xiaohua's first feeling was cool. In an instant, she noticed that everything around her had changed.

What she saw was no longer in the space, but in the study.

Liu Xiaohua thought that she had come out of that world, but she saw a girl sitting quietly in front of her.

The girl looks a little thin. It seems to be a little malnourished. The arms are thin and thin, and the face is both strange and familiar. Seems to be someone she knows.

Then she immediately realized that it was none other than herself!!

All, all of herself!

She could see her head, the back of her head, her eyes, her chest heaving slightly, her eyes closed, her eyes moving from time to time under her eyelids.

Liu Xiaohua was taken aback by herself.

Because it's so weird to suddenly see another self when you're not mentally prepared. Moreover, it is very strange to see yourself from a different perspective. 'She' is not exactly the same as the self in the mirror. The refracted light can have some changes in a person's appearance.

It turns out that what others see about themselves is like this, Liu Xiaohua feels very curious, what kind of existence is it now? Is it a ghost?

She looked down, trying to see her body now, but all she saw was the ground, and she could see something else from all directions, but she couldn't see herself. It seems that the water mirror did not teleport her, and some of her remained in the spirit platform, while the other part returned to the real world in a new form.

When Liu Xiaohua wanted to go to the bronze mirror in the study to see what she looked like now, the scene around her immediately changed, as if she appeared there in just an instant. But there was nothing in the mirror.

She tried to move forward, but after some distance away from her body, the sight she saw lost color.

Liu Xiaohua immediately retreated, retreated to stop when she could see the color, and then carefully kept the direction, at this edge, moving.

It took her a lot of time, because without her legs, she couldn't control exactly how far she could move, and sometimes, she would suddenly rush out far away, far beyond her head, and sometimes, just a little bit. It took her a long time to get back to where she had been.

She noticed that she had drawn a circle around her body.

But she couldn't know exactly what the diameter of the circle was. Visually, it's about five steps.

Then she went on a little outside the circle and stopped, and for a long time she did not notice anything unusual about herself, and then she tried to pass through the door and stand on the porch.

She stood on the porch and looked into the distance, and the place outside the courtyard was so dark that she couldn't see anything clearly.

Looking up, it was the same thing, she could see only a limited distance, and she couldn't see the stars and the moon in the same way that she couldn't see the moon.

It's all black.

But she could see sporadic glows in the air in the courtyard.

I don't know what these lights were, some were very bright, some were very dim, and their number was very scarce, there were only about twenty in the whole yard. Like fireflies in the night.

Liu Xiaohua doesn't know if this is the real world.

Because she didn't hear anything. All of them are silent. What she could see seemed to be different from her usual life. It gives people a very unreal feeling, as if it were just a projection, without the slightest sense of zài, and without the breath that should be there.

For example, the lantern in the cloister, it has light, but it doesn't make her feel warm.

But maybe this is the real world, but her own form has changed, and she can't feel anything else.

What did the water mirror ask her to do here? What can she do if she becomes this form?

She turned around and saw a faint glow, very close to her. Maybe she's here for these clusters of light? The only special thing she saw seemed to be the only light.

The lights kept flickering, maybe colored, but Liu Xiaohua couldn't see them.

She wanted to touch it, but she had nothing, couldn't touch anything.

She hadn't felt anything when she walked through the door before. She controlled herself and moved towards the light, passing through the light in the middle of her gaze, thinking that it might come into contact with the light, and maybe something would happen.

But the light was so small that she couldn't see it for sure.

Either it deviates a little to the left, passes by it, or it deviates a little to the right. Once, it was about to collide head-on, but it suddenly felt a force and moved to the side. It seemed to have feelings, but it wasn't a very intelligent creature, because when it moved away, it remained there and didn't run away.

After trying hundreds of times, Liu Xiaohua felt that she might be going crazy. She stopped, thinking it wouldn't work. Maybe I should go back and study it first.

At this time, she saw a large ball of light, moving in this direction.

The light looked very irregular at the edges, and it didn't move very fast.

She decided to give up the small light and try it with the big one.

It should be a lot easier this time. After all, the goal is relatively large, and even if it is a little off, it will not be completely missed.

But as she approached the great light, suddenly the light rushed towards her.

It became very fast, with a clear purpose, straight in her direction, without hesitation.

Liu Xiaohua sensed the danger and immediately wanted to dodge, but the light seemed to have some power, some kind of attraction. All the light is converging in its direction.

Liu Xiaohua felt that she was also forced to move towards the other party. It's like she's just a piece of dust and the other party is a vacuum cleaner.

【Come back!】 】

An idea popped into my mind. It appeared. But the thought was not very strong, and I could feel it, and it was a little weak. Maybe it was because I had treated her injuries before, which had some effect on it.

"How do you get back?!" The light was getting closer. It was too bright for her to look at. But she couldn't even close her eyes, because she didn't have eyes with Ben now.

【Come back!】 Come back! Come back!! Come back!!! It almost turned into a scream in the end. The shock made her unconscious.

"Closed!! Mouth! Liu Xiaohua said angrily: "Shut up! ”

It finally fell silent. Liu Xiaohua forced herself not to panic and concentrate on the word 'go back'.

But it didn't work.

Why didn't it work?

Maybe just take your hands off the water mirror.

But she can't control herself in that world at all. However, it may be able to help. She can enter the altar in the form of consciousness, and it also has consciousness. It might be able to go in and help her □□ hand, cut off the connection, and she can go back to the altar.

"Do you know where my altar is?"

The thought immediately popped into my mind. 】

Liu Xiaohua glanced at the white light in front of her, the closer it got to her, the slower its speed seemed to be, but it didn't stagnate, but little by little, it continued to come this way.

It did not receive a response, and immediately expressed its doubts more strongly [??????????!!!! 】

It panicked.

This kind of affection is also influencing Liu Xiaohua.

She tried to restrain her emotions and concentrate on recalling the appearance of the Lingtai.

Liu Xiaohua thought that even if it could express its intentions to itself in this way, it should be able to do it herself.

But it didn't work, it was still screaming silently in panic [?????????? It's like crazy. It's like a frightened little animal, trying to hear the command, but it doesn't know what it means, and it's anxious and scared.

Liu Xiaohua can only change the way, "There is another me, where is it?" ”

It immediately responds to "Sato! Satoko! Here] and a picture popped up in Liu Xiaohua's mind. She meditated in the room.

Liu Xiaohua immediately understood that it was talking about the sitting body in the room.

"There's one more. Another. Where can I find it? ”

It immediately expresses "I! Over here! I still think that I am the same as Liu Xiaohua.

Liu Xiaohua hurriedly said: [There is one more! 】

It was silent.

There was no saying that it could be found, and there was no doubt about it.

That means it's looking for.

And the situation in the yard is even more dangerous. Liu Xiaohua saw that those small rays of light, after coming into contact with the large spots of light, immediately dissolved into them, as if a drop of water merged into another drop of water.

Although Liu Xiaohua didn't know what this big spot of light was, she understood that this thing was predatory.

If she can't go back, she'll be eaten by this spot.

Liu Xiaohua felt that time suddenly became very long, as if it was distorted, and the spot of light was right in front of her, but its movements became very, very slow.

Just as there was no way for her to escape, it also felt some kind of resistance from her. But this force, not to stop it from approaching, only made it move very slowly.

Now, the spot is less than half a step away from Liu Xiaohua.

After Liu Xiaohua adapted to the light, she could clearly see that this was not a light spot, so to speak, it was a lump. Its surface is uneven, and the light that is attracted by it, after touching it, will immediately be enveloped by it, forming a new bulge that becomes a part of it.

It may start out and is also very small. To be able to become such a big one, I don't know how many small rays of light I swallowed.

As this group of light approached, Liu Xiaohua's vision was completely blocked by it, and there was a feeling of overwhelmingness. Liu Xiaohua let her eyes shift to another direction, the door was there, not far, only two steps. Through the carved places of the doors and windows, she can vaguely see her own figure under the lamp.

But she couldn't move.

No matter how much she struggled. How hard to try.

She could even feel the cold breath of the light. Obviously she no longer had a body, but for some reason, she could still feel her heart expanding violently. "Did you find it?" She asked.

But no answer was received.

That consciousness fell silent. Nowhere to go. It's like it never happened.

Could it be that the possession sensed danger and left her useless host to find a new life to cling to?

Liu Xiaohua was unwilling to struggle desperately.

But she felt that something cold was soaking her. Her vision also became narrower. First, she lost her vision of her surroundings, and then the boundless blackness slowly spread from all sides to the center of her line of sight.

She is being wrapped and fused.

===

But just as the last needle-eye-sized light was about to disappear, suddenly, the feeling of being restrained was gone. She opened her eyes suddenly, and she was no longer in the courtyard, but in the world of water mirrors.

But the world was different from when she left. In the past, although the ground was barren and flat, but now, there are potholes everywhere, and I don't know what has been cut into a mess.

There was a stone that had been cut out of it, and it was full of tooth marks, and it was gnawed wet.

Then Liu Xiaohua heard some noises, she turned around, and saw a figure pouting, lying on the water mirror, biting hard, and from time to time let out an unusually fierce threatening roar.

This figure, which can't be called a person, is just a humanoid thing, like the villain of a famous comic, all black, without any details. It's like a painter who is lazy and uses a black marker pen to paint the shape of a person casually.

Liu Xiaohua took a step back, and immediately the person's movements stopped, as if listening.

There was a pause for a second before the man suddenly turned around.

The person also has a water mirror in his mouth. The water mirror was soft, like a pudding, but more sticky than a pudding. Its eyes were closed, but it seemed to be able to see Liu Xiaohua, but after seeing Liu Xiaohua, it looked elsewhere. When he found that there was nothing else, he immediately turned around again and desperately tore at the remaining water mirror.

There was a large piece of water mirror, but now there is less than a third left.

"Who are you?" Liu Xiaohua's voice interrupted its movements.

It turns back. Crawled towards Liu Xiaohua with his hands and feet. Look up at her.

Being 'watched' by people with their eyes closed gave Liu Xiaohua goosebumps. "Is that you?" She asked.

But the other party didn't seem to understand her words, just looked at her.

Liu Xiaohua felt bad.

If it was the appendage, it should understand her.

Have you been eaten by the light? Is this just some kind of hallucination? She took a vigilant step back and stood next to a sharp stone, but did not immediately bend down to pick it up, for fear that her actions would anger the other party.

The other party kept staring at her, and when she took a step back, it took a step forward.

After a while, its eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened in a very distorted manner. There are also eyeballs inside, but they are black. It's all black. Again, no more details.

When it found Liu Xiaohua, Liu Xiaohua had her eyes closed. So it thinks that this is how people should be. But now, it found that Liu Xiaohua's face seemed to have undergone some changes compared to before, so it took the initiative to imitate her changes.

Liu Xiaohua suddenly realized that she was not wrong at the beginning. This is the appendage.

In the past, the communication between the two sides was guò consciousness, not language. In the altar, the two consciousnesses are independent, and it can no longer communicate directly with her through the guò consciousness.

"You did it?" Liu Xiaohua pointed to the pits next to her.

It may be able to understand Liu Xiaohua's intentions from her movements.

But it doesn't say anything. Just look at the pits that were dug out, and look at her. Then slowly, try to stand up to yourself as well. Its hands were covered in mud, and there was a lot of stone dust around its mouth. The process of standing is not smooth, swaying for a long time, as soon as the butt falls to the ground, it gives up, or lying on its stomach with its hands and feet, it may feel that it is more stable. Still looking at Liu Xiaohua without moving.

Liu Xiaohua thought, it's better to leave here first. She didn't know what was going on outside, and she was afraid that her body would be in danger. So he said to it, "Let's go." ”

But it didn't move, just looked at her.

"Don't you want to go? Do you want to stay here? She gestured for a long time.

It still doesn't respond.

Liu Xiaohua didn't understand what it meant. But since it didn't move, she couldn't leave first. She was afraid that if she left, she would bite off all the water mirrors. The water mirror is gone, I don't know if it means that her spiritual platform will also be gone.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and Liu Xiaohua sat cross-legged opposite it.

After sitting for a while, it didn't know why, it became more and more irritable, and sometimes it would suddenly spin in place, and when it was finished, it still looked at Liu Xiaohua and didn't move.

Liu Xiaohua couldn't understand its intentions at all, so she could only take the opportunity to carefully observe its appearance.

Finally found out where it was strange. It made itself into the shape of a human, but it probably didn't know that clothes were not part of a human being, so it looked like it had clothes, and Liu Xiaohua was wearing a skirt, so it thought that Liu Xiaohua's body was very long, and her feet were legs. So the torso of its body grows frighteningly, and it doesn't bifurcate until the place where the foot and neck are.

It doesn't even know what a person looks like. That is enough to see that although it shares the same side with Liu Xiaohua, and the two consciousnesses are connected, it cannot use Liu Xiaohua's eyes to observe the world, nor can it get all her life experience.

How big Liu Xiaohua's body is, how big is its whole world.

In the past, Liu Xiaohua thought that it could hear others and know what others were doing, but in fact, it couldn't at all, it just felt the danger and ingested part of the images in Liu Xiaohua's mind. Through guò consciousness to communicate with Liu Xiaohua.

Maybe it's not clear now, it's not clear that one's own consciousness can't be communicated to others. Still communicating with her with the thoughts in his head. So it looks like it's not doing anything, but it doesn't know how much to say to her. If you don't get a response, you will naturally get irritable.

"Speak. With the mouth. Liu Xiaohua pointed to her mouth and said, "Use here to speak." I can't hear what you're thinking. ”

It stared at her for a long time and didn't move.

Liu Xiaohua felt that it was impossible for her to make it understand what it meant to speak with her mouth here. It may have been seen through Liu Xiaohua that many human beings were talking to each other.

But in its consciousness, communication is with thinking, so it thinks that two people standing together also communicate with thinking, and as for the sound they make when they open their mouths, it may be like they do many other things when they are talking - such as drinking water, such as scratching an itch, such as expressions, just unrelated actions.

Liu Xiaohua couldn't help it, so she reached out and grabbed its arm. I want to see if I can get out of here with it
