Chapter Thirty-Seven: Companions
Oh my God, is it just because I took this money? Is it just because I broke into this room inexplicably? There's a pervert who wants to kill me!
An impulse drove me to hurry back to the outside room, but just as I was about to step out the door, I stopped again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Where can I run? Maybe this text message wasn't sent to me at all, anyone who comes here at this time will receive this text message, and if I hadn't come here, this text message would still have come as scheduled... Right?
Thinking about the back, I'm a little unsure, the key is indeed in my hand, but is it true that someone else doesn't have the key in his hand? It looks like a secluded and luxurious study, who would come here? What kind of person will collect these katanas? Moreover, the phone is also fingerprint unlocked...
Wait, why am I here?
Because I don't have any money. I asked for money to buy a plane ticket to Fog City in the Ceramics Country of East 8 District, because the person named Lily asked me to go, because I was from Fog City (at least it did look like this on my ID card), because the girl in the diary, that may be the girl who used to be me, she has been working harder than others to return to Fog City, and she is also under more pressure than others. There was a real chance that she could go back, but for that reason she would rather not believe it.
Anyway, I'm going to Fog City, so I'm going to buy a plane ticket, and I find out that I don't have a penny on me, so I rummage around the house and find this secret room, where I got the money only to receive a threatening text message. Could this be a coincidence?
"it, just die, I don't have anything right now anyway."
I went back to the outside room, found a satchel, packed all the money, and prepared to leave the room, when I was attracted by a peeled book on the shelf. To be precise, I was attracted by the text that only half of the text was left on the spine of its book - "Heart of the World".
It's not a common text, I should say it's actually some strange symbols, but some intuition tells me that I know these words.
Walking to the bookshelf, I reached out and pushed the book on both sides as far as I could, it looked like a thousand-year-old monster, and I was afraid that if I dragged it out, it would fall apart.
The shell of the book is covered with an anti-black skin, on which the text is written. It is indeed written, because, that is the trace of handwriting.
I opened the book gently, and the words inside the book were also handwritten, the pages were yellowed, and the paper had become quite thin. The book was as thick as the palm of my hand, and I read it here, my hands trembling a little, so I closed it, put it in my satchel with a hundred thousand euros, and quickly left the room, turned over and locked the door, and then climbed out of the closet, leveled the plank, and packed up my clothes. It all looked like it had never happened.
I was ecstatic to go to the computer to check the flight at 7 o'clock this evening, there are still a lot of tickets left, I should be no problem to buy tickets at the airport. It's 6 o'clock this morning, and I quickly close my eyes and go to sleep.
I slept in a blur, and a phone call came, and I answered the phone, and the other person was still the woman named Lily, and she asked me when I was going to Fog City, and she did have something urgent to discuss with me. I told her about my decision to leave today, and she calculated the time and said that she would pick her up at the airport when the time came. I wanted to go back to sleep after talking on the phone, but looking at the time, it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon. I started to pack my things, found several satchels, and packed all the things I thought might be useful, and of course, the palm-thick book. God knows if I'll ever come back here.
After packing everything, I went downstairs with a large bag and a small bag. Yesterday's middle-aged woman saw that I was going out, and hurriedly stopped me, and without asking me what I was going to do, she said to drive me to the airport. How does she know?
She didn't talk to me much along the way, but told me when she finally got off the bus that you should be careful and come back to pick me up when you came back.
I nodded awkwardly, I didn't know how I had gotten along with her, and I didn't know if I would ever come back.
After going through security at the airport, I bought a trolley case with enough belongings for all my belongings, and a decent set of clothes and shoes. After boarding the plane, I started reading the book, and I was fascinated by the contents.
Once upon a time, before the appearance of those of us, before the appearance of flowers and trees, before the appearance of jihad. The world at that time was infinitely wide.
God and God's children coexist in the world, and God teaches them daily to learn and master the world, and then they use that knowledge to discover places that never existed. Yes, those places where the gods do not know. They are like a wilderness team, and the team is huge, divided into countless teams, each with a different part.
This development was very effective, and God learned a lot from their discoveries. God is not omnipotent. There may be hidden and powerful forces in the new world that are discovered, and this power will make God progress, and God's progress will make the whole world progress, and the world will progress, and the speed of discovering the new world will increase. It's a virtuous circle, and the world is a world that evolves itself.
Such a world, even in the time of the holy war, would not have been defeated at all if it were not for the letter of agreement. This world is called: Orlante.
I closed the book, my eyes a little dry. I had only read less than three pages of the book, but I found that it seemed so much thicker than it seemed, for I had read more than twenty pages in just three pages. These symbols... Or words, they seem to be able to be pieced together and recomposed, and in these three pages, I read many, many words by piecing them together. Moreover, I also found that the author of the book was writing the book in three-page increments, and at the same time writing the book in the patchwork situation that I just described. At the end of every third page, there is an eye-like symbol, and the content of the next page can be connected to the last patchwork of the page. By the way, there are four ways to read these words, and the order is as follows, the first is to read directly, the second is to read the text upside down, the third is to read the text horizontally, and the fourth is to read two to five words on top of each other. I'll admit it's a lot of brains, but as it happens, I'm pretty good at it. I don't know what it's called, but it looks like I should try this game, and maybe I can do more than that.
The plane was on its way to Rome and I was going to get some sleep first.
Transfer in Rome. After boarding the plane again, I started to think about what was next.
More than once along the way I tried to spy on the inexplicable surge in my heart, but none of them succeeded, and occasionally a familiar feeling would splash once or twice from the seemingly calm water, but it quickly fell back in, and before I could catch it, I threw myself into the air again.
Who's the next Lily to pick me up? I rummaged through my diary again, but there was no record. Where do I go when I get to Fog City? Garl and Mom mentioned in the diary, where do they live?
I should have found Gal first, because by all indications, she was the one I could trust the most.
After thinking about it, I didn't bother with the details, and the beautiful flight attendant lady sent me food, and I did feel hungry because I hadn't eaten since the last flight. No matter what the food was, I asked for a double serving, and then I didn't feel like it was enough when I was done.
The whole trip took more than 30 hours, and it was midnight in Italy when I got off the plane, and it was already 6 hours later in the morning in the country of ceramics.
After getting off the plane, I straightened my hair in the bathroom, and when I looked at the face in the mirror, I didn't have a hint of familiarity.
I was walking out with my suitcase and suddenly I was stunned! At the pick-up gate, there was a person looking at me. I seemed to immediately understand who the person named Lily was.
I hesitated to walk up to her, accept her warm hugs and shush her warmth, and without saying a word, my suitcase took me to a black Accord.
She drove the car and I sat in the passenger seat. The scenery along the way is good, the car is running on the mountain road, and the whole city is healthy on top of one big mountain, which is really crazy and beautiful.
"Gal." I tentatively called out her name to see how she would react, and if I guessed correctly, I thought I'd get some useful information. This may help me recover my memory.
"What's wrong?" She answered me. It seems that I was right.
She had the same face as me, which made me almost scare silly when I got out of the airport. Lily said she would come to the airport to pick me up, but the person who came had such a similar face to me, which was not suspenseful at all. It's just that I didn't expect that Lily to be the Gal I was looking for.
There was no small talk on the road, and I tried to deal with it in an ambiguous manner. As soon as I woke up, I got a call from her asking me to go back to China, and then I broke into the study by mistake because I didn't have the money, and then I got horrible text messages. Anyway, my trust in her started to wane.
The car drove into a group of villas in a mountain, and it seemed that it had arrived.
She took me into a courtyard with a three-story villa that looked quite magnanimous. There are a lot of paintings hanging in the villa, and the signatures are all Garry. It seems that these are my masterpieces. I took a shower at her's, and then she started talking to me about business.
It's not complicated, it's that she said that her boyfriend died and is now pregnant with another man's child, and at this time the phone number of her dead boyfriend suddenly sent a text message, and she wanted to figure out what was going on, but for some reason she couldn't let people know that she was leaving, so she asked me to come back and pretend to be her.
Originally, I thought it was strange, why couldn't people know that she was leaving? But she told me that I would take her place and live here with her money. She's going to leave anyway, and she doesn't know what I'm doing here, so I'll have money when I promise it, and it's no harm to anyone. You know, a lot of things cost money, especially when I can't see the situation clearly, I need to protect myself.
"And when are you leaving?" I asked her.
"Tomorrow." She said.
I'll have a day to get a rough idea of what she's asking me to do. Maybe I'll get my memory back in the future, but now I have too little memory of this world, and that text message keeps me on alert at all times.
She said something about her current boyfriend, and he didn't sound very good.
From the small talk, I learned that I was born into a wealthy family, and I don't know much else. In this way, in that secret study in Italy, the contents should be mine. I should be a tourist and have been to so many places. I smiled helplessly at the thought of this, I have no impression of these things at all... Aside from the one named Louis and the other named James, what is the relationship between the two of them?
After lunch, I dozed off and took a nap on the couch in the living room.
"Recovering well." In the haze, someone asked me.
"Who is it?" I found myself unable to open my eyes.
"I'll come to you, don't worry, baby." The voice suddenly leaned in, like someone whispering next to my ear.
This scared me so much that I opened my eyes with all my might, only to find that it was just a dream.
The next day, I was left alone. She left me something when she left, and I asked for the password at the risk of being discovered. I wasn't going to tell her about my situation, I didn't trust anyone and seemed to be surrounded by traps. I don't know why I'm so suspicious, maybe I'm naturally suspicious. But it's right to be careful.
For the next few months, I lived with a man named Xiao Yu, who was Garr's current boyfriend. I have cash on me to cover most of my daily expenses, and my daily expenses are to rent a small house with this man, and I bear all the expenses. Yes, Gal did not take him to live in the villa, but rented a house outside.
I'm cold to him on weekdays, and he doesn't really want to be with my replacement for Gal anyway. In the past few months, I have looked through the diary that Gal had left me, logged into her mailbox to check the correspondence that had been sent to and from her, and looked for the address where my ID card was located (she took my ID when she left, which she said was safer), but the place had been demolished. I wanted to know about the living conditions of this relative I hadn't seen for more than ten years, and the night before she left, she said to me: "You don't know much about the family's business, and there are many people who have bad plans for our family. ”
Family business. What could it be? She just said that, but didn't tell me what it was. It's been a few months since I got here, and I haven't seen my mother in my diary, apparently the villa on the hill is just Gal's private quarters. Do I have any relatives? Does anyone remember me?
Later, I found out that this Garr also rarely contacted others, and her frequent correspondence was for me, and some were for a person named Chen Wanyi. The contents of the letters to Chen Wanyi were all photographs, some of which I had seen in that mysterious study in Italy, and they were pasted on the wall of the entrance.
Her life also seems to be boring. From Xiao Yu's accusations against me, I learned that Gal never had to go to work, rarely went out, and was a poor jingle poor ghost. But in my opinion, Gal is a rich man. She gave me a card, in her words, this is called a trace of life, I want to use this card, whether it is online shopping or swiping the card, if I can, I have to swipe this card for a fried meal. There is one million in this card, and she said that she has only been away for about three months, and this million is basically enough for three months of living expenses. In this way, it is not impossible for a person like her to do nothing every day, but she said that the family business, her father has died, and her mother has not appeared, and I suspect that now it may be that the mother is in charge of the family business, and Gal is assisting from the side. Strangely enough, I didn't find a single thing about her real life. No invoices, no bills, no gifts, and property registration is just a name and phone number. Gal didn't even have a credit card, so I took my ID card to check her credit and it didn't get a record.
I don't know if she destroyed it on purpose, or if she didn't do it at all, or if someone else did it for her. Considering the fact that she told me to pretend to be her, I think she's suspicious enough to believe that she's not going to leave any trace she doesn't want, so someone else can do it for her.
It has been more than three months since she left, and the Spring Festival of the ceramic country is approaching in a blink of an eye, and she still has no news. I haven't been in touch with her since she left. I don't know where she went (she used to say she went to the United States, who knows. I didn't watch her get on the plane), and I don't know if she achieved her purpose of going.
Seeing that time is passing day by day, and my belly is getting bigger day by day, the size of the silicone belly I bought has also increased. Maybe until the day the child is born, this lie will finally be exposed, but I can't afford to lose this job until then. Yes, I think it's a job, and the pay is a million in the card.
In the past few months, I have read more than seventy pages of that old, thick book. The book is very interesting, it talks a little bit about it. In the time of Orlante, God's people discovered a place where there was something called the Mind Body, most of which were about the size of microorganisms, but they were intelligent, but they needed to rely on the Mother Body, which was huge. Since it was found there, the place was named Takaz, which was also named after the sound produced by the movement of the thinking body. Takaz is in the eastern part of Orlante. Orlante is divided into the Eastern World and the Western World, and the Eastern World has a total of five countries, and Takaz is one of the medium countries. I don't understand why there are still countries for microbes, why don't the people who found them rule over them directly, and aren't the teams sent out aren't God's people? Or rather, God did appoint someone to be the steward there. Maybe it will be mentioned in the book later, but what I have seen so far is not there.
Xiao Yu wasn't there when I was reading, or he wasn't there most of the time. I know he's secretly in contact with another woman, I know who that woman is, and that woman found me when I first started living with him, but what does it matter to me?
I placed the bookmark folder on the page I was reading, aligned the bottom edge of the bookmark at the line I was reading, and closed the book to find something to eat. At this time, my mobile phone rang, and it was a man's voice on the other end of the phone, he said that his family and my family are world friends, and now his father wants to see me. I agreed. It's helpful for me to understand that the other person must think I'm the other kid in the family, and maybe I don't know what our family does.
Frustratingly, the other party was a young man when I went downstairs and didn't see the old man. Later, when I went to the restaurant, I was told that he wanted to see me.
"Where's your dad?" I sat at the dining table with Western-style cutlery in front of me.
"Already deceased."
"What are you looking for me for?" I got straight to the point.
The man handed me a box containing something resembling a necklace and a pendant of a white stone. I held the stone in my hand, and I felt inexplicably familiar with this scene.
"This is mine?" I don't look up, I just look at the stones.
"Half of it is mine."
"Who are you?" I put the necklace around my neck and touched the small stone with my hand.
"Nini, are you ready to start playing?" He looked at me with a half-smiling face.
"Who the hell are you?" I put my hand on the knife, and the man knew who I really was.
"We've met before." He pulled out a pack of cigarettes and pulled one out to light for himself. "There are seven stones in this stone, you must find them all, or you will lose the game." He shrugged.
"I chose not to participate." I disguised myself by making myself look like I didn't care, hiding my knife in my sleeve.
"Hey, if you want to quit, then you're losing now." He shook the ash of his cigarette. "Those who lose will not end well."
"What are you going to do with me?"
"If you don't decide, a companion will die until you decide to continue playing."
I have companions?! What are you doing? I tried to remember, but still didn't remember anything.
"But you have to make a decision quickly, there are only six of them, and if they all die, then you won't survive."
"You can just kill me, why go around in a big circle."
"I still have hope for you." He said this with confidence. I don't know where he got his confidence, but I'm sure he's familiar with me.
I was silent and didn't speak. I don't know about a companion, maybe he's bluffing me. I want to leave now, even though I have many, many things to know. He may or may not know about me, and in either case, I can't let him know that there is something wrong with my memory.
The waiter brought the food, and he brought me this plate to him and cut it for me.
"You know, knives are best used only for cutting food." He didn't look at me, and elegantly cut the steak on the plate. I think he might have hinted that he had seen the knife I had hidden.
I still don't speak.
He brought me the chops. "It's not appropriate to talk about serious topics while eating."
I didn't take the knife out of my sleeve and started eating with a fork in my other hand. He cut the steak on his own plate and chatted with me.
"You're an interesting guy. We've worked together before, quite a pleasure to work with. Trust me, your dad's death was not my fault. ”
I frowned.
"You have a sister, what's her name?"
I still have a sister? His accent is placed on the word "yet", meaning that I have more than one sister? Is Gal my sister? Are we triplets?
"Crane poem. I remember, a strange name. She's not been doing well lately, I can help her if you need it. He chewed on the meat and took a sip of wine.
He's threatening me. I don't know what the relationship is with this crane poem? However, it is not mentioned in the diary, so it doesn't seem to be very good.
"Whatever you want." I chuckled. I don't want to let myself have too many ropes to be pulled into, and I can cut it if I can.
"Look at what I'm talking about, you're an interesting person."
I don't think it's funny, it seems to me that he has grabbed some rope from me and wants to keep me in check, but it is still not enough, he is still looking for the deadly rope that I can absolutely obey, and I can't let him find it. I could see his measurements at a glance, and maybe he thought he was too simplistic.
After eating, he drove me back and didn't say anything on the way. When he got out of the car, he said: "The game starts today, and tomorrow this time you haven't thought about it, one of your companions will die." ”
I wanted to give him a middle finger, but I held back.
Back in the house, Xiao Yu did not come back.
I lit a cigarette and began to think back to what had just happened. Who is he? No name was left and he was the one who texted me. This stone - I was running my fingers back and forth with the pendant on the necklace, it was familiar to me. What does it stand for? What's the use? The man asked me to find six more of these stones, and he said that half of them were his, so what did that mean? It means that he doesn't know where the stones are, but he wants them, or he knows them, but he just can't get them. Do I know? Probably I know. But I don't know now.
It seems that there are a lot of things that happen to me, and I am not a simple person. I took out my notebook and wrote down what I knew today. I bought a notebook when I came here, and I wrote down all the information I've collected over the past few months. But what I've collected is less than five pages.
Xiao Yu didn't come back that day, and I just got up when he came back the next morning.
Not long after he entered the house, there was a knock on the door. It was the same man from yesterday, and a foreigner here. I didn't expect him to come, which made me a little flustered.
The foreigner he brought with him had a new wound on the left side of his face and a bruise at the corner of his eye. Who is he? When I opened the door and he saw me for the first time, he was very surprised. I stared at the foreigner, and he kept looking at me, surprised and puzzled.
"Gar, this is Ah Cheng, I'll bring him over to see you." Yesterday the man introduced me. Xiao Yu took a half step back and let them sit in the house, and I had to follow. He called me Gal, did he know I was playing Gal? Definitely, damn it! He knew too much.
"Hello." The man stretched out his hand to shake Xiao Yu's hand and said, "I'm a friend of Gar, you should know who I am, I think, we've met." He seemed to be hinting at Xiao Yu something. After that, Xiao Yu didn't say a word the whole time.
The foreign man named Ah Cheng kept looking at me.
"He didn't know you were alive." The man patted Ah Cheng on the shoulder and said to me, "But then, it's up to you whether he can live or not." ”
Look at me? Does it mean that this Ah Cheng is my companion?
"What will I get if I promise you?" I knew it would be easy for him to see that I was shaken, but I don't even remember any previous grudges against him, and I haven't made up my mind, and maybe he'll provide me with some resources to help me regain my memory. After all, it seems that he knows a lot about me so far.
"You're going to get your Great Sage, isn't that what you want." He shrugged.
The Great Sage? I remembered that the diary I had read also mentioned the Great Sage. Who is the Great Sage? It can't be Monkey King.
I looked at him warily, and it was a long time before I spoke. "And what do you get?"
"You know, except for the Great Sage, I want everything in the stone."
"Let him say a few words to me." I pointed to the foreigner, and the man agreed.
"Your full name." I said to this man named Ah Cheng, whose face made me almost think of someone.
“James-Chen。” He answered me.
James! Is this the name that pops into my head? I can't tell if this person is really my teammate.
"What about the others?" I pretend to know everything and I don't know anything.
"They are all locked up, Tsering and I are locked together, he said that you are not dead, I still don't believe it!" He cried as he spoke. Such a person is actually my companion!? Oh, my God! No wonder I don't remember anything. I began to doubt his strength, because from the man's mouth I could tell that this game didn't seem to be safe, and this Ah Cheng said that he thought I was dead, so what the hell have I been through before? Also, the Tsering he said, this name belongs to a small number of people, I have lived abroad for a long time, and I actually know people from a small number of people, so where and under what circumstances did I know him?
I feel that my head is getting more and more messy, and Xiao Yu's performance also surprised me. He was like a dead man, sitting there motionless. But he was still breathing.
"Do you think I should promise him?" I asked Ah Cheng. If Ah Cheng wasn't my companion, he would have made me agree, and if he was my companion, he wouldn't have let me take the risk. Provided, of course, that he feels that I am worth everyone's sacrifice.
"Are you crazy? Everything we did was to stop him from getting the stones, and you actually asked me if I wanted to promise him! So what is all our efforts? Ah Cheng changed his crying attitude and became excited.
It seems that this man is our previous enemy. What is the Great Sage in the Stone? What is anything other than the Great Sage?
"Well, I promise you. But you have to give me back my companions, you know, I can't do anything without them. I asked him. If I want to get my memories back, I have to get my companions back, at least they can tell me what happened.
"That's for sure." The corners of the man's mouth rose and said, "In addition, I will give you my manpower, you can do it freely, but if you come nonsense, just think about how your father died." Of course I said, you can't blame me for your father's death. I'm just giving you a lesson. He spread his hands, looking like he was in control.
Damn it! I don't know how my dad died, at least not now.
"Alright then, you release them all. We need some preparation time. I subconsciously looked at Xiao Yu.
"Rest assured, he won't remember our conversation."
"What did you do to him?"
"It's just a little bit of illegal drugs." The man stretched out his hand to show me that the ring on his finger had two short needles on the palm of his hand.
"When are you going to let the others out?" I asked.
"Wait until you've dealt with the current situation." He pointed to my fake belly and said, "Don't let anyone notice anything out of the ordinary." ”
I nodded in agreement, and he turned around and took Ah Cheng away. Ah Cheng blamed me with his eyes before leaving, and I ignored him. He didn't know what was going on with me yet, and I needed to get all my companions back, which was far more complicated than I thought.
Not long after they left, Xiao Yu spoke.
"You're up?"
I gave him a blank look, and it seemed that he had really forgotten everything that had just happened. "yes, I'm up." I replied.
The next day, Xiao Yu left again, and the woman he secretly contacted came to the door again and asked me to return Xiao Yu to her, which is exactly what I wanted to do, but I didn't like her arrogant attitude.
"You are just relying on the child in your belly, so it is expected that Xiao Yu will not be able to take you. So I'll give you a hundred thousand, and you should leave him. The girl pulled out her checkbook as she spoke.
"Who do you think you are?" In fact, I had a small calculation in my heart.
"Two hundred thousand." The girl continued to make an offer. I don't speak.
"Five hundred thousand." The girl is a little anxious. But I still didn't speak.
"Eight hundred thousand, no more." The girl's confidence is a little insufficient.
"A million." I said.
"What! Million? Are you crazy? The girl shouted: "You call blackmail, do you understand!" ”
"A million, or don't talk about it." I smiled at her and said, "Give it to me when I'm going to leave." ”
The girl cried angrily, and sat on the ground and cried. "You're going too far."
"Not a penny less." I turned around and went to pour water.
Eventually, the girl agreed and wrote me a check for one million.
In the evening, Xiao Yu came back, and I didn't mention a million things.
That's it, I have two million, plus the money I brought from Italy, I think it should be enough to cope with the rest of the story.
After the Spring Festival, under the repeated urging of my sister, I prepared everything, and then told Xiao Yu that I was not pregnant with his child, and I lied to him just to get revenge on him and the girl. He thought I was Gal, got angry, and left. I'm so grateful to this million-dollar man for finally leaving my life.
After Xiao Yu left, I immediately received a notice from the man to let me go to the hot spring hotel.
I went alone, and when I arrived, I saw Ah Cheng in the lobby of the hotel, and next to him stood a man in Tibetan costume, I guess this should be Tsering.
"Third Miss." He greeted me and nodded and saluted, "Tsering misses you very much. ”
Ah Cheng took us to a room on the hill behind the hotel, where there were more than a dozen people, four of whom got up with wide eyes when I walked in. If I'm right, it's probably these four people.
Let me describe what the remaining four people are like. They were men of all ages, young men in their early twenties, old men with gray hair, tall and stocky men, and a little boy who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. Every one of them was dressed very stylishly, including the kid! I was like a village girl in front of them. The others must have been sent by the man, and I had a lot to say that outsiders couldn't know, so we huddled in another corner of the room and whispered about it.
"Are you all there?" I asked tentatively. What's going on with this kid? Messing in?
"Yes." Everyone nodded in unison, and the child nodded hard. Is this really my companion? Companions born to die? Is this a battle between the bright fashion world and the dark fashion world?!
"Can you stay out there?" I turned to speak to the people who looked as muscular as stone, but they ignored me and sat down on the couch.
"Gal, what happened after you left us? We all thought you were dead! The little boy was the first to speak. He called me Gal...
"Yes, we've been looking for you for a long time, but we haven't heard from you at all." The gray-haired old man said.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a chill coming from behind, and before I could look back, these people in front of me, these scenes all disappeared into the darkness. But my consciousness is fresh.
What's going on here? Am I blind?
"Follow me." The surroundings became quiet instantly, and a voice whispered in his ear. Then someone took me by the hand and led me to the middle of nowhere, and strangely enough, I could only hear the footsteps of one person, and that was myself. Ghosts?!
"Who are you?" I tried to talk to the "person" who was holding my hand.
"The game is suspended." The other person replied to me. It shook my heart.
"Is that you?" I asked.
"Not who you think."
"And who are you?"
"The Great Sage."
