Chapter Twenty-Five: The Ephemeral Illusion

At this time, it was already time for the sun to set, and the half-down sunset still reflected the golden red glow on the faces of everyone who was looking at it, and among them were all homecoming, but there was also a different petite figure. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Put on the straw hat again, hide the ears on the top of the head, the white hair hangs down in front of and behind the body, the black modified kimono is not worn on the girl's body without a trace of dust, there are not many flowers, but it is enough for the girl.

Sakura walked slowly on the ridge, staggered past her by the farmers who had finished their work, and the direction she walked in was exactly the opposite, step by step towards the mountain that had completely fallen silent, even if there would be some kind people who would remind her, but for Sakura, it was not important and did not need to be ignored.

The matter of Urashima Tai was solved last night, and all the worms in his body were not completely removed, and the medicine she asked Urashima Yue to prepare was the "drunken worm" and "nourishing" medicine, in fact, there were a lot of "light fireflies" produced, which were directly blocked in Urashima Tai's body, and their activities were directly suppressed by the medicine.

After all, if all of them are really discharged, then with the blood residue in Urashimatai's body, he will die on the spot, but even if he hangs the young man's life with all the wine, he is very weak.

Until now, Urashima Tai, who had regained some consciousness, was still very weak in bed, and even the conversation was still a little difficult, but in this case, it was actually a good situation, and it proved that the method Sakura had taken before was effective.

The prescription for inhibiting the growth of insects was handed over to Urashima Yue, as long as he drank it once every half a month and then nourished it slowly, then Urashimatai's body should soon recover his health, and the vitality of young people is very vigorous.

After that, every six months, a part of the worms will be excreted as before, and after such a period of weakness, you can slowly return to normal, only the first two or three times you need light wine as a factor, and in the future, you will slowly recover your health.

In the end, when all the worms are expelled, everything will be over, and the back and forth will only be five or six times, and the more dangerous ones are the ones when the number of worms is still a large part, and after that, there will be no danger.

And this side of the situation, Sakura has already given a reply to Yingu, she believes that the responsible man can definitely handle these things better than her, and what needs to be done is to send some light wine regularly to check the condition of Urashimatai.

As for Sakura, there is something that must be done, or rather, this is exactly what she needs to seek, and she even has a feeling that Urashima Tai will encounter such a strange situation, or it may be something in the dark that is being manipulated, not the so-called fate, but something from herself, which is calling to her......

Last night, those "light fireflies" and the newborn "shadows" were in line with their own characteristics, Sakura caught a little bit and tried it on her body, these insects still retained the "characteristics of only clinging to shadows", so here's the problem......

Why did Urashima Tai encounter such a situation, how did the "Hidden Shadow" enter his body, and this morning, after the young man recovered a little, Sakura asked him......

……

"I don't know when those things got into my body, I just remember that night, when I was looking for a lost gift for the moon, I got lost all of a sudden."

"Obviously, I was able to see the road clearly a moment ago, but at this time, there was nothing around, obviously holding the fire fold, but I couldn't see it at all, everything was dark, except for pitch black, there was no way to describe it in any words......"

"Even the sound of the wind, the sound of leaves, and many other things disappeared all at once, and I didn't know what it was at the time, but I just wanted to get out quickly, and later, I couldn't even remember my name all at once......

"I don't know how long it took, but it didn't feel like it was long, suddenly, I didn't know how to think of Ah Yue, and then, thinking about it, I somehow walked out, I thought, it must be my parents' spirits in heaven who blessed me."

"After that, I came out of the mountains and ran into Uncle Yamada, only to find out that I had been missing for more than half a month, and after that, I found out that there was no shadow......"

……

According to Urashima Tai, then it must have been that time, there is no doubt that it should be that when this man "got lost", the "hidden shadow" attached to his body, and will attach to his body, except that the "hidden shadow" mistook him for a shadow that can be attached to, there is no other possibility!

In other words, the man Urashima Tai may have encountered more than "Hidden Shadow", and before that, he may have encountered some kind of "worm" that is much more terrifying than "Hidden Shadow", and if I guessed correctly, the name of that worm is "Eternal Darkness".

……

When you walk in the night, you sometimes find that the moon, which was still lighting the road, suddenly disappears, and all the stars disappear, and the direction can no longer be distinguished.

If you try to remember the past, then you can escape, and if you can't remember, you will give yourself a new name, but at the price, you will lose the memory of the past.

If you can't do that, you'll be wandering and lost in the darkness......

……

Thinking of this, Sakura was a little shocked again, the man named Urashima Tai, it was really incredible that he could get out of the "eternal darkness", it was not to look down on or anything, but to be able to remember his name in the eternal darkness was a very difficult thing in itself.

The one who once told Sakura about the rumors of "eternal darkness" was Yingu, the person who made Sakura grateful and admired, and when he talked about "eternal darkness", he also showed a special look, according to that person, the reason why he didn't have memories of his childhood may be because of "eternal darkness", but what it is, is unknown......

……

I didn't care about the advice of some people who saw her, I just quickened my pace a little, and let myself disappear from these people's vision, for Sakura's move to enter the mountain at night, Urashima Tai and Urashima Moon both had some reservations, but it was impossible for Sakura to waver.

The mountain road at night is very difficult to walk, but if you have the same vision as during the day, it is not difficult, and this makes Sakura's movement not very hindered, no matter how delicate she looks, but Sakura's physical strength is not to be underestimated, even without a large part of her strength, she is enough to complete a lot of exercise that adults can't do.

In Sakura's eyes, whether it is the mountain road or the surrounding grass and trees, it is very clear, every leaf, can be clearly pointed out, now she is in a highly concentrated state, although she said to explore the "eternal darkness" thing, but, Sakura does not want to be lost in this like that, now in this state, she has no self-confidence, can get out of the eternal darkness.

The surroundings were very quiet, except for the occasional sound of birds and wind, and other than that, there was only the sound of branches broken by Sakura's steps, and the shadow under her feet was also quietly shaking, and it was impossible to see the movements with the naked eye, but it could be felt, it was like a gesture of waiting for an opportunity.

This place is very vibrant, it is not the area where the light vein flows, but it is not far from the light vein, this place will maintain such continuous prosperity, and there is also this reason that it is here, and in the same way, this place will not lack the infestment of "worms".

And where the "eternal darkness" is, it is not difficult to guess that it should be the quietest place, not like now, where there are still a lot of "insects" around, Sakura, walking step by step in the direction of the relatively small density of insects.

I walked along the road, going deeper and deeper, paying full attention to my surroundings, but—

'When! ’

When Sakura noticed, she had completely walked into a silent area, I don't know when, there were no more harmless insects around, and those slight noises had long since disappeared, without any abruptness!

Standing still, Sakura carefully felt the movement around her, but there was nothing but silence, as if it was an extremely normal environment, but, undoubtedly, this silence was the biggest anomaly......

Suddenly, Sakura turned sideways and looked in the direction of the sparse density of trees on one side, where her gaze caught what she cared about, but it was only about one meter five tall, and the pitch-black shadow was like a black mist, and other than that, she couldn't find the rest of the colors.

It's as if it melts into the night, or rather, it's the gesture of the night, there's no way to know when it appeared, and there's no way to find out what it is, and Sakura doesn't care about any of that, because—

In addition to the color, except for the strange and serene posture, whether it is the silhouette of the body or the black surge that seems to be long hair, it is the same as Sakura's figure!

Very slowly, the black shadow turned around, probably turning around, Sakura thought so, and slowly moved in a certain direction, farther and farther away!

‘! ’

Sakura was stunned for a moment before reacting, and immediately chased after it quickly, and her agile figure shuttled through the trees like a ghost, but she couldn't shorten the "slow" moving black shadow, it can't be said to be slow, perhaps, it should be said to be fleeting......
