Chapter 15: The Road to Death

chapterThe Magician's Treasure

The pyramid has three faces, each of which is glittering with gold.

It's ridiculous to hear that prehistoric humans put their own corpses in pyramids, the 159-yard-tall behemoth was only designed to fit a person less than two yards tall, and the qiē had nothing to do with gold at all.

Of course there should be gold in the pyramid, and if there is no gold, at least there should be words! The Grand Magician Trent is a down-to-earth man, and his treasure chamber is a real pyramid, and Grandma Gloeb says that the last time she went in to track down the crystal ball, she was so shocked that she didn't close her teeth for days.

Vanessa wasn't sure if the old lady had teeth in her mouth, she was more concerned about what kind of trouble she would get into, and now she and Reina were standing outside the door of the secret room, almost lost - because it had three doors.

The pyramid in front of you has a door on each wall, on which are painted gold nuggets, cold arrows and skeletons, representing greed, betrayal and death, respectively, no need to ask, there are special magic traps behind each door, no matter which door the intruder chooses, he will encounter unimaginable trials.

"Which one should I choose?" Vanessa looked at Reina. This is tantamount to asking in vain, he can't speak. Grandma Glaeb didn't mention the doors, it must have been Trent who replaced the magic trap with a new one, and it was entirely up to personal judgment, and if the judgment was wrong, there was no turning back for either of them.

Vanessa counts those behaviors, trying to sort out the relationship between them: people betray because of greed, and betrayal often leads to death. I am not greedy, I am not reckless, but I am afraid in my heart; I've tasted remorse, I've dealt with pain a lot, and the only one I haven't experienced is real death.

Well, it's death.

Vanessa reached out to push the door of death, but was roughly stopped by Reina, his hand twisting her arm was unwavering, and his beautiful blue eyes were full of anger. "Don't want us to go through this door?" The princess looked up at Reina, "Then you don't have to make such a big effort. ”

Reina let go of his hand and took a step back.

"Which one do you think we should go?" Vanessa asked for his opinion.

Reyna pointed to "remorse".

"Do you want to see my tearful confession?" Vanessa put on a joking tone, "Trust me, only death's door will work." All of these nine behaviors eventually lead to death, and no matter which door you enter through, the outcome will not change. Of course, if you want to experience a few more life experiences, you can also try every door, and I suggest that you start with 'betrayal', because I am leaving you now and going straight to death. With that, she stepped into the door of death.

I'm the dividing line*******

The air was damp, with a pungent musty smell, like rotting leaves in a dry pond, and the aisles darkened the further in, with no end in sight, and if this was death, it would be quite peaceful.

The aisle took another turn in front of them, and Vanessa and Renner were already in complete darkness. The princess's hand touched the wall, and the rough stones scratched her palm, bringing a real touch. There was darkness all around, and the silence gathered and squeezed the nerves of the two men.

Vanessa grabbed Reina's hand, her mind in turmoil. After turning the twelfth corner, she questioned her own behavior, just now she had made the decision to enter the door of death almost recklessly, she could be resurrected indefinitely, but Reina's life was only once, he was risking his life with him. Thinking of this, Vanessa couldn't help but feel ashamed, she relied on magic protection, and didn't think about Reina's safety, although he always looked at me so indifferent and cold, but he still followed me without hesitation and protected me, he was the most fearless of the two. I am responsible for his safety, and if something happens to him, how am I going to face Grandma Glab and his family, how am I going to face my conscience?

Alas, Vanessa sighed in her heart, if the teacher heard this, she would be very angry, no matter how much the teacher taught me to be ruthless, the conscience is still there, looming.

The princess turned her head in a conflicted manner and looked at the passage from which she had come. Suddenly, she saw what seemed to be a figure in the darkness flickering, and for a moment, her heart rose to her throat, and she almost cried out out of fear. She squeezed Reina's hand, and he turned his head as well, and the image of the man was drifting, silently moving closer again.

"Evil spirits!" Vanessar pulled up Reina and ran. Did we get discovered by a magician, or did we touch the trap? There's an evil spirit chasing us!

Reina didn't take a few steps before he shook off Vanessa's hand, and he quickly drew his bow and arrows at the evil spirit behind him, and the feathered arrow unexpectedly pierced the demon's body and fell into the darkness of Chaodun, and the two of them had to flee again.

The cold breath came, and it was close at hand. Vanessa could feel the monster's eternal piercing gaze.

It's not death, it's fear!

The soles of her feet tripped over something, and suddenly, the cold ran through her body, and Vanessa seemed to have fallen into a huge pool of ice, soaked from head to toe with cold air, and she could barely breathe.

It's a kiss from death.

The moment she collapsed, she saw the bright sunlight and the green forest, a white rabbit ran from the field of vision, she was about to lift her feet to chase, suddenly, the earth rushed towards her at a strange speed, bang, she felt that the bones of her body were broken inch by inch, the internal organs and skull were crushed by the huge pressure, red and white sprayed all over the ground, like a tomato that was flattened by a hammer, the whole process was unreasonable, but it really happened - she fell to death.

Reina looked at Vanessa on the ground in disbelief, one second they were running wildly, the next second she was grabbed by the evil spirit, and she fell to the ground and convulsed. The evil spirit emitted a faint ghostly light, which melted into Vanessa's body like a shadow, which also made her glow slightly in the darkness, and when the evil spirit's face gradually overlapped with Vanessa, the princess let out a short exclamation, her face turned blue-gray, and her mouth muttered, "It hurts." ”

Frightened, Reina lifted the princess up from the ground with half help and half embrace, and looked forward by the glimmer of light from her—countless figures appeared in the depths of the corridor, their faces expressionless and pale, as quiet as marble statues, as unsettling as ghosts.

"Experience death." Vanessa whispered in Reina's ear, "They make us experience death. ”

Reina helped the princess to turn around and was about to walk back.

"No," Vanessa waved weakly, "we promised Grandma Glaeb to help her fulfill her last wish, and we only had one chance, and we couldn't turn around." She took a deep breath and felt her body recover, "I'm fine." I'm tired of running away, and I'm going to go on. She walked down the slope of the road, slipping and almost falling, but she stood still and looked back at Reina, "You can choose to stay." ”

Reina frowned at Vanessa's back, her back straight, showing her confidence and the princess's pride. It is the self-confidence born of strong spiritual strength, and the arrogance born of the self-esteem of the king.

The archer strode over the princess and protected her behind him.

Countless pale souls poured towards the two of them, overwhelming and suffocating.

When the first ghost came into mind, Vanessa screamed.

I'm the dividing line*******

No matter how much Reina used his body to shield Vanessa, more and more ghosts pounced on the princess's body, they seemed to be particularly interested in the poor girl, and occasionally a few of them merged into Reina's body, but only made him stiffen a little, and did not cause much mental damage.

Her chest was churning, her heart was pounding, blood and screams were weaving through Vanessa's mind, and she was overwhelmed by all kinds of deaths, like hell. She shuddered with her back against the stone wall, tearing her hair and wailing in pain. The uneven stone walls were ghostly by the slight shaking of the ghosts, like the silent laughter of evil spirits. The passage between the stone walls gradually revealed, and the two men walked mechanically, struggling towards the unknown darkness.

I don't know how long it takes, an hour, or a day.

The number of ghosts is still not decreasing. Later, Vanessa only had brief convulsions after being touched by their cold hands, like a long shiver, but her steps still moved forward. Gradually, Vanessa discovered that most of the ghosts were grown men, tall, short, handsome, ugly, young, old, clean, scruffy, and mostly dead from sword wounds, wearing tattered shoes and tattered clothes, and holding no weapons in their hands, except for scythes, sharp hoes, or rudimentary hammers made of stones tied to sticks with leather cords.

Vanessa, after experiencing the hallucinations of death with her head cut in half, suddenly asked herself: Who are they? Why are you showing me death?

The moment she asked the question came to an abrupt halt, all the sounds, lights, blood, and shadows were gone, and they walked out of the siege of the ghosts, and another door appeared on the ground.

"Hmph, why did it take so long, come on in." An old voice with the sound of an urn sounded overhead, accompanied by the creaking of the door. Vanessa and Reina glanced at each other, having a hard time understanding how the door on the ground should be entered. But a qiē happened so casually, they stepped over the threshold, their ears whistled, their bodies turned at a large angle of 180 degrees—they entered
