Chapter 8: The Feast of Worms
When the sun sets, the golden glow dyes the world with tired colors, and the trees are still swaying, just like the flying leaves, except that they are no longer the energetic dance of the morning day, but more like the stretching of the arms of sleepy-eyed people.

The mountain is also in a calm atmosphere at this time, it is the confusion before dreaming, just like the scene of the sun dipping into the sea at the moment of twilight, and the cycle of the day has a special interpretation at this node.
This will to return to rest is not only natural mountains and rivers, but even people are being guided to infect, so the girl trotted on clogs and ran towards her home, which was a house built in the mountains, isolated from the world, but leisurely independent......
Until a certain moment, she stopped, because her gaze was attracted to something strange, it was a very small, unknown white creature, like a "human", supporting its weight with two slender limbs, and then the next moment, the "head" hit the ground and became the limb trunk, and the previous "head" became the limb trunk, in this way, moving......
It is not just one, but a population, and the posture and form, like a colony of migrating ants, have a specific direction, implying a certain trajectory, one after another, revealing the mystery of nature, and it seems to expound a certain truth......
This is not what the human world should be, on the other hand, when she sees these things, she also deviates from the human world and steps into another realm with one foot......
White, like a cloak, but there is no material in the world that can produce such a fabric, or rather, it is not a fabric, but another indescribable product......
When the girl named Lianzi came back to her senses, the first thing she saw was such a thing, and after a while, she could finally see the whole picture, and in front of her was a person, probably yes......
He was walking forward, shrouded in the seamless white robes, moving forward, slowly, slowly, but still, moving forward......
This is a queue.
Lian Zi naturally knew this, and the "people" in the white robe were not just one, but a row, and the only difference was that she had unconsciously become the most conspicuous and special person in this queue.
This is a queue that cannot be detached.
Lianzi recognized this, she only knew that she was advancing, along the angle of the previous person, with the same frequency, the same pace, the same stride, and the difference in stride caused by the difference in height seemed to never exist......
Hands and feet were working autonomously, walking, stepping on boundaries that she didn't know and couldn't understand, moving towards the depths of the world, the origin of life, she didn't know anything, whether it was moving or not, she didn't know, she just knew that she was following this queue somewhere......
In a dark place, but extremely clear, there is no sunset, no sunset, and the golden red of the twilight is gone, nor is it the night sky, and when you look up, all you can see is the endless darkness of silence, and the most other color is green.
Everything here glows with emerald light, not like poison, but as clear as jadeite, with a sparkling and vibrant color, just like the mountain after the new rain, except for the shades, everything is so fit.
One after another, at some point, in some way, what was being transmitted, and the queue also turned into a circle at this time, surrounded by things in white robes, and the only exception, the young girl who didn't know where she was, was also among them.
It was a very beautiful green cup, full of wine reflecting the golden brilliance, with a mellow and seductive aroma, which was a delicacy that could not be refused, and it was the heart of the feast.
The girl took the cup, which meant that she had accepted the feast that had been prepared for her, the incredible ritual, and when she took a sip of the wine of light, she began to lose the ability to think, which was the most delicious thing in the world, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the essence of life.
When life is born on this planet, the body of the veins of light that is already flowing inside is the wine of light, nourishing all things and giving birth to all things, and the land adjacent to it will be full of life and prosperity, while the land far away from it will be barren and dry......
So this is the river of life of the planet, and this wine is the fountain of life......
Drink it one bite at a time, and when the light wine contained in this cup is drunk, the girl will also be free from the shackles of living beings, no longer living beings, or rather, no longer human beings, but only things that exist in another realm......
Little by little, drop by drop, the pale golden mellow wine dripped down, and the girl was also accepting the "mission" - to protect the children and grandchildren who will be favored by nature in the future, and then continued to drink this wine, giving up the part called human at all......
Until a certain moment, this ceremony, this banquet, was broken......
Dusk returned, the residual temperature of the afterglow spread again, maybe it was a mournful sound, or maybe it was just an illusion at all, the wind slowly went away, and even the last trace of noise seemed to be about to sleep, only the wind was left, blowing the girl who didn't know anything, but understood.
Everything was like a dream, like a momentary extension, there were remnants, there were losses, but in the end, only the bewildered girl was left kneeling, and-
The wine cup is already empty......
"Click-"
It was the sound of cracking, but the girl who got up could no longer hear it, and the only thing that echoed the mournful cry was the thing in the other realm that was still kneeling on the grass, and the girl went back, and what was left behind was crying alone, in front of the broken glass of wine, which had dried up and had long since disappeared......
……
The girl, named Lianzi, returned home from the mountains at dusk one afternoon, but only half of what her family saw was seen, and the other half remained in the realm of the world forever, unable to return......
The clogs that I stepped on have never changed, and the beautiful kimono is still beautiful, and even, I have lost the traces of time, and I am eternal, forever and eternal......
It's just that no one will notice her, no one will see her, no one will talk to her, and she can't do anything anymore, just like that, long, long, waiting, guarding......
……
"You mean, Grandma, are you still in this house?"
With his eyes wide open, looking at the insect master with short pale hair in front of him, Sen Luo said calmly, saying that it was calm, but no matter how you look at it, this young man is not calm, that complicated appearance, it is impossible to judge what his mood is at the moment.
"Ah, yes, but it's not in this house in human form, but somewhere between an insect and a human, so normally, you should be invisible, of course, something special is that Miss Sakura had already seen her last night......"
With a certain look of speechlessness in her green eyes, she glanced at the girl who was sitting quietly on the side, although she was cold and lifeless, but she was really a character who was not easy to fool, and for Yinggu, Sakura was like this.
"Sakura?"
The boy who heard the insect master's words also turned his head and looked at Sakura with an inquiring gaze, and Sakura, who had only been planning to be a bystander, had to raise his head, and then looked at the boy who took care of himself, and also understood in an instant that Sen Luo was not confirming, but asking about other things.
"Grandma, okay?"
As if he had been deflated for a while, the boy asked, and when Sakura heard this, he nodded, then shook his head again, and spoke unhurriedly in the young man's somewhat puzzled gaze.
"Her life is normal, it's much simpler than yours, but she shouldn't be very happy, Sen Luo, Grandma Lianzi wants to see you."
Calmly narrated, there was no change in tone, it was still the same cold voice, even if this girl lost a lot of things, but this coldness that has been carved into her bones can no longer be changed......
"Grandma, do you want to see me?"
Very ordinary words, but for Sen Luo as a party, it is different, he can understand, can confirm what kind of mood it is, but at the same time, he also understands that this will not be a good thing.
"Yes, it's a good thing that she met the insect feast but was interrupted halfway through, so that she didn't completely become a worm...... However, if I want to see you, there is only one way, and that is to make her a worm completely......"
Yin Gu said calmly, he didn't say anything like the consequences, at this time, he also knew that the young man in front of him maybe, perhaps, more clear than him about the sadness, once he became a worm, then, there was no way back, this is the law of nature......
"Grandma, she, you know?"
"Ah, she knows, and, she quickly agreed, so, Senro, can I lend you your power?"
The young man closed his eyes, frowned, lowered his head in pain, and asked in a tangled manner, while the silver-haired insect master nodded calmly and said the words that let the young man make a decision.
"Can my strength really help grandma?"
"Yes, as long as you use your power, you can do it, for the sake of Grandma Lianzi's wishes, are you willing to lend your power, Sen Luo?"
The silver-haired insect master just looked at the young man with the divine pen and waited, and the girl on the side was the same, quietly watching all this, thinking, and as if she was feeling something......
