Chapter Twenty-Six: The Old Place
The mountains at night are very dangerous, especially for those who do not know the world, and there is no lighting to reflect the world clearly, and it is the horror of ignorance, even those insect masters who have been walking in the mountains for many years, at night, will still raise the fire.

The flame raised by man is a special creation, which is completely different from the life that exists in nature, and in the mountains, the flame rises and has the meaning of "human trace", and in many cases, most of the invisible things hidden in the mountains and forests will not cause any trouble because of "unintentional".
However, this is only for those human beings, for some things, these so-called dangers seem so meaningless, like Sakura, and like the strange shadow ahead, no matter how much you pursue, you will only slowly pull away.
Agile as if she were really a cat, Sakura walked through the lush woods, neither the messy weeds that hindered her speed, nor the intricate vines scattered among the trees, could not stop her in the slightest, and all her attention was focused on the shadow in front of her, the shadow that belonged to her.
In the midst of it was something that Sakura could never give up, even if everything turned pale, she would never let go, she knew it, even if she died, even if she was immersed in the cold state that she didn't want to feel, she could never give up.
Why...... It can't go on like this......'
Sakura didn't know why, no matter what, she couldn't catch up with the shadow, but anyway, she still kept a certain distance from the shadow, even if this incident didn't make her happy, and even, it made Sakura's heart feel a little chilly.
There was no reason, but Sakura could be sure that if the shadow wanted to get rid of her, it would not have any difficulty at all, and at this moment, the shadow had kept such a distance, what the hell it wanted to do, vaguely understood, but convinced that she knew nothing......
Like the flow of flying flotsam, between a certain woods, the ethereal shadow suddenly deflected direction, and Sakura, who had been waiting for the opportunity, also immediately moved, and the cold mist outline that was about to move at her feet all turned into fine silk threads, and poured into the black shadow from the gap between the flowers, trees, leaves, and grass, and the momentum seemed to wrap the black shadow tightly.
"Click-"
A crisp cracking sound sounded, and at the moment when the black silk wrapped around the black shadow, the target shattered like glass and ice chips, turning into scattered fragments, floating away, like black snow, but the trend was not natural, and it flew towards the fork in the road on the other side at an even more incredible angle.
'This is?! ’
Sakura didn't expect such a situation, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she couldn't move for a while, and in the position of the black shadow before, there was a black lens suspended in the air, spinning, and the shadow outline that Sakura released before was imprisoned in it at this moment.
‘…… Void Mirror! Yes, mine! ’
Such a concept suddenly flashed in her mind, and for some reason, she recalled her skills, and on the fork in the road, those black fragments all converged into the black shadow from before, or rather, it was the shadow of Sakura!
Standing there, even though the shadow couldn't see anything frontal or anything, Sakura felt that her shadow was watching her, looking at herself head-on, saying something, not far away, and there was no other action, in a daze, conveying something to Sakura, calling for something.
“……”
Silence freezes all sounds, even time, feelings, and the light of the stars and moon, but there is still nothing to be gained, nothing to know, and I can't understand, or rather, Sakura can't think about it, and I can't get to the point of contact after all.
After a long time, there was a long silent call, but there was no response, and Shadow turned around, looking at the movement, probably as if it had temporarily given up on its thoughts, and it was just drifting away.
'Wait! ’
Sakura saw the black shadow that was gradually moving away, desperately trying to move, but it was extremely difficult, conforming to the instinctive ability that had awakened, and finally pulled the shadow outline in the virtual mirror, little by little, little by little to break free, if it was the rest of the things, this would only cause itself to be fragmented, but Sakura was different, because she and the power that imprisoned herself were the same source!
"Click-"
The same crisp cracking sound sounded, and the little bit of the void mirror that appeared cracked was finally broken free at this moment, and the distant shadow was already far away, as long as it took a little more, it would completely disappear from Sakura's sight......
"Whoa—"
Like an arrow off the string, Sakura jumped out quickly, and those shadows that broke free from the confinement, like flowing water arrows, quickly slashed past Sakura's side, and the obstacles around her, whether it were leaves or stones, were instantly withered, weathered, and ushered in the end.
Quickly chased over, directly into the fog that filled the mountains, but, Sakura still grabbed the vague corner, quickly chased over, but when it penetrated out of the fog, there was no trace of half a point.
Standing in place, constantly looking back, focusing on all her attention, but she didn't find anything unusual, Sakura couldn't help frowning at the moment, but she didn't find that the previous exploration and the previous chase, most of the night was about to pass, and it was the eve of dawn, the darkest hour!
“?”
Suddenly, even if there was only a brief glimmer of light that was difficult to see from this location, Sakura was able to accurately capture the absolutely unnatural light that was unlikely to appear at this time of day!
After thinking for a moment, Sakura also understood that if she wanted to chase her shadow again, it was probably impossible, rather than doing such an impossible thing, it was better to go to the front to adjust the vision, where there was a good chance that there would be something.
In the past, the Shadow would deliberately take Sakura to this place at the end, and it was disappearing, so it must be something important here, and it felt as if the Shadow was testing Sakura as the main body.
Walking in the direction of the white light, Sakura finally discovered the truth of this strange scene, which was a small pond that was radiating an unusually bright light outward, very bright, bright enough that only the silver glow could be seen in the field of vision.
At the edge of the pond is a small wooden house, very dilapidated, it looks like it, it has been abandoned for many years, and the owner of this place is gone, but it doesn't matter, Sakura cares about the pond, the most strange thing here.
Walking over quickly, Sakura couldn't help but raise her hand, covering her eyes slightly, blocking the light that made her feel dazzling, not that something in the pool was emitting light that penetrated the pool water, but purely by the light emitted by the pool water, or, more accurately, it should be said that it was like the water in the pool emitting light.
Bright, without impurities, everything shines, everything that is illuminated can clearly see any details, the same, the shadow that is illuminated, it is more obvious, even Sakura is in a trance at this moment.
Soon, Sakura had only just seen the sight of the pond, and the light began to fade, and as the indescribable thing faded, she could slightly recognize that it was indeed something other than the pond, something that had never been heard of.
The pond was very silent, but it was not without life, and even after the light had completely faded, the first rays of dawn were revealed, and Sakura's eyes could still clearly see the living creatures in the pond.
Snow-white fish, wandering in it, white abnormal, white seems to be able to overflow light, the most bizarre thing is that any fish has only one eye, a green eye, and the position of the other eye is a void of darkness, as if-
That insect master who is also a teacher and a friend, Yingu!
With snow-white hair, green eyes, and a void left eye, these fish in Sakura's mind have coincided with the insect master she admired, and similarly, her heart is also a little cold, like falling into the center of the extremely cold wind and snow, falling into the endless wind and snow.
After discovering the strange situation here, Sakura has already had some thoughts about this place in her heart, or maybe there are too many questions in her mind, and the most obvious thing besides the pond is the dilapidated log cabin next to it.
Gently pushed open the half-paralyzed door, and the heavy dust even concealed the original color of the wood, leaving only gray, and the rest of the people must have coughed because of the thick dust at this moment.
After a careful search around, everything here was normal, the wood and iron objects that were beginning to rot, the utensils that had completely faded their color, the books neatly placed on the side, and the paper that seemed to be recording something on the side......
Is there no sign of corruption in all this paper? ’
Grasping this question in her mind, Sakura walked slowly to the place that should have been used as a desk, and then looked at the books that were stacked next to her, and some kind of record that was obviously stacked together, and had not yet been completed.
Bending down, he wiped some of the dust off with his hands, picked up the paper scroll next to him, and opened it gently, and the first thing he saw was the name of the person who wrote these things-Nu Yi......
