I couldn't lift my feet, and there was a strong suction in the deep swamp that dragged me down mercilessly, and I felt that the swamp was suffocating little by little over my feet, my calves, my knees, and little by little over my chest......

"Qi Yan!" I subconsciously shouted.

"Eise?"

Faintly, I heard a familiar voice, so far and so near, so vague and so clear.

Who is it...... Is it Qi Yan......

I struggled a bit, trying to raise my hand to grab the voice, but my arm seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and couldn't lift it. At the same time, something grew out of my body little by little, so quickly that it almost exploded my body.

I exerted my strength violently, and the pressure on my chest and lower body slowly faded, and my feet were on the ground. I touched my surroundings and there was no mud or water as I had imagined.

Just...... What the hell is going on? Was what had just happened just an illusion? Why did the swamp suddenly disappear?

How did I break free? Is my spiritual power restored? And that voice, is Qi Yan calling me?

"Qi Yan! Qi Yan! Was that just you? Where are you? ”

I shouted around, but there was no sound, still dead silence. I feel it with all my heart, Qi Yan's position...... Where is he......

This way......

That's right, this is the direction!

Carefully move your steps step by step.

What's next awaits me...... Every nerve in me was tense, almost bursting. I took out the spirit stone in my pocket and held it in my hand, hoping that a miracle would happen.

This should be in the dead forest. Every time I took a step forward, the chill around me became heavier, there was no wind, but I felt as if I had been cut by something, and I almost lost consciousness in pain. I gritted my teeth to keep the strength from slipping through my teeth.

It was still a dead silence, and it seemed to be quieter, and I was reminded of a scene described in a novel: a man who had been adrift on an isolated island for a long time, looking forward to a ship on the shore, not for food or wealth, but to look at the face of a living person to make sure that he was still alive.

The real horror of the Dead Forest is not in the legendary spirit beasts, but in the devouring silence, which brings people not tranquility, but doubling the madness. You're not sure where you are, what's around you, and you don't even know if you're still alive at the end. I imagined the landscape around me, the same endless dead branches, bones, or some other horrible thing.

Blindness is a convenience and help for me to some extent.

How is Qi Yan doing now? Is he still alive, is he still in his mind, is he injured, how long has he been in this dead forest, and what has he been through......

My sense of Qi Yan is getting weaker and weaker, and I'm not sure if it's because I'm wrong or if Qi Yan is in danger at the moment.

"Qi Yan! Where are you? I shouted.

Not even an echo, my voice was not amplified in this silence, but was mercilessly swallowed up. I am becoming more and more confused, more and more frightened, more and more engulfed by an emotion called helplessness, and I am walking on the edge of the precipice of despair, and the slightest mistake is doomed.

My consciousness was getting more and more blurred, and I felt exhausted even though I hadn't walked much; I wasn't attacked, but I felt pain all over my body.

There is no way forward, no circuit, only an endless silence.

Why am I here......

What am I here for...... I don't remember...... What exactly did you do here...... Where am I going now, what am I going to do, who will tell me......

I sat on the ground and looked around, but I couldn't find anything to lean on.

What the hell is this place...... Where am I...... Can anyone tell me what the hell this is...... Why is no one ......

I was extremely irritable, and threw the spirit stone in my hand straight out, where the spirit stone fell, I don't know, there was no sound of landing.

I began to scratch my arm, and only the pain could soothe the fire of anxiety in my heart, but it could not be extinguished. An inexplicable image came to my mind, I plunged a knife deep into my chest, blood flowed out, and the scorching fire was extinguished.

I was happy that I finally had a way. But I searched all over my body and couldn't find anything sharp enough to hurt me. This made me even more irritable, I stretched out my hands around, empty, I couldn't catch anything, only me! It's just me!

You can't even die.

I lay there weakly, I didn't even have the strength to sleep, my mind was sometimes stupid, sometimes excited, I was no longer me, I was ruined.

"Eise!"

Sound...... Who is this voice calling......

Eve, is it me? Who am I......

I moved, a little sober from the messy vision.

"Yishi, you said you wouldn't give up, cheer up!"

It's a familiar voice, but who is it...... Who is Eise......

The fire began to burn again, and my hands unconsciously began to scratch at my arms, one by one, until my nails sank deep into my arms, and I stopped satisfied.

"Don't do that, Yishi, stop, you listen to me."

"Who are you?" The pain kept me awake a little and I was finally able to ask a question.

"Yishi, I'm Chen Zhi, I'm Chen Zhi!"

Chen Zhi......

The name is like a key that opens the closed door, and all the pictures come out, so vivid and vivid, as if it just happened yesterday......

Two girls walking together on the boulevard, talking and laughing along the way; Quietly passing notes and gesturing in class; Eating delicious ice cream at an ice cream parlor and taking ugly photos of each other; Doing homework in the library, the sun is shining; Bleeding golden blood can no longer utter a complete syllable; Eventually, he completely disappeared into the endless night, unable to catch it anymore......

My tears fell.

"Chen Zhi, I'm Yishi."

"Great, Yishi, you're awake, you don't know how scared I am, I watched a spirit tamer or a lonely spirit go crazy or harm yourself in this dead forest, how worried I was that you would ...... too" Chen Zhi's voice was filled with tears.

"Why are you here?"

"After death, the lonely spirit will come here, but I am a special kind of lonely spirit, so I can still make a sound, but fortunately, my voice will not be swallowed by the dead forest, so I have not collapsed. But my voice seems to be heard only by you and Qi Yan......"

"You said Qi Yan!? He's alive!? Where is he? Take me there! "I stood up, but my center of gravity was unsteady and I fell hard.
