Chapter 1: Awakening from a dream
It was pitch black, and there was no light.
Xingyu was overwhelmed by this fusion of silence and fear.
"Ahh The quarry of a mosquito still didn't make him less afraid. The eyeballs moved in the largest triangular orbit ever, trying to find a focal point in the absence of a single light.
I felt like I was sitting on the ground, or on the flat surface of something.
He tried to stretch and bend his fingers, then gently brushed the plane.
This is where, so dark, it could be some basement.
Only his fingers can move, and there is nothing on his body, indicating that he may have been given some anesthetic. Is it kidnapping? Ha, who will tie me up. Or is it an underground deal? How is it possible, a little ghost like me who has no usable value......
There seemed to be a little red light in the distance.
No, not light, it's fire.
Many people were immersed in the fire, and the darkness around them was instantly engulfed in the fire, and there were terrible screams everywhere.
"Xingyu," Mom was lying there, the back half of her body was already surrounded by fire, "Xingyu, let's go......"
"Mom," Xingyu wanted to run towards his mother, but a strong unknown force pulled Xingyu farther and farther away.
"No, Mommy, Mommy," Xingyu cried out hoarsely, trying to break free, but the fire still grew smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a red dot and passed away in Xingyu's teary eyes.
"Don't......" Xingyu's heart instantly seemed to be twisted into countless knots.
"Ding," there seemed to be something in the distance, was it the sound of tears falling on the plane?
No, it seems to be the sound of water.
"Ding, boom." It's the sound of water, and the ripples of the water as it spreads.
"Water, mom is saved." After hurriedly wiping away the tears with his arm, Xingyu tried to move his feet, but suddenly knelt on the ground, feeling numb from his toes to his thighs.
I must save my mother. Thinking so, he reluctantly stood up with the strength of his arm. But there seemed to be a strange feeling, an indescribable but somewhat inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Xingyu tried, stepping forward with his right foot, and as soon as the toes touched the plane, he immediately retracted.
No, there must be something wrong, why does it feel so weird. It's a feeling that I've never met before, but why is there such a sense of familiarity? No matter how much it is, it's important to save your mother first.
Seongwoo tried to step out of his right foot again, and this time leaned forward as well. At the moment when he leaned forward, a force pushed behind him, and this feeling made people suddenly feel that gravity and gravity were all deceitful. But it seems easy to walk.
Xingyu paused, and stepped out of his left foot again, just as weird.
It seemed that there was something strange about this place, and after cautiously trying to take two more steps, something stranger happened. He found that he was not walking, but had a feeling of floating, but it didn't seem like he was really floating.
Oh my God, what's going on, am I in space? It seems that only space can explain how he feels now.
No. Xingyu immediately denied his idea, if it was space, how could I breathe, and how could I possibly go to space.
Thinking like this, Xingyu suddenly found that he had nothing on him. It doesn't matter, it's pitch black, who will come to see it.
However, there is a gentle, slimy feeling on my body, and I can't tell it, it's like staying in a steam room, but there is no feeling of oppression in the hot and dry heat.
While thinking about various possibilities, he continued to walk like this, but he didn't seem to notice it, but he was used to merging with this force.
Suddenly, in the distance, there seemed to be a little light.
"It's there, that's great!" Xingyu began to run forward in great strides, as if he was about to fly.
When he was getting closer and closer to the point of light, Xingyu suddenly stopped. He saw a man in front of him, but it was not his mother.
Although the man was still far away, Shan Xingyu clearly saw that the man was holding an ancient oil lamp in his hand.
This should be such an ancient thing that can only be found in museums, why did it appear here, Xingyu thought.
The light is getting closer and closer to the stars.
It's a wooden boat, although I can't see it clearly, but it's definitely a wooden boat, it's the same as what is recorded in the museum book, but why did it appear here, and the oil lamp, two things that shouldn't have appeared in this era, today Xingyu saw it at the same time.
The people on the boat were wearing a very long robe, which seemed to be a thick cloth.
The man carried an oil lamp in his right hand and rocked the oars with his left hand familiarly.
The wooden boat creaked and creaked, making people shiver with their hairs standing on end.
The hat attached to the robe was so large that it completely obscured the man's face. It is impossible to see whether that person is a man or a woman, and what he looks like.
The boat came closer. The man's robe was too big to fit the man. The man lowered his head, but his lips whispered, as if he was whispering something.
When Xingyu wanted to get closer, suddenly a coldness rushed from the center of his feet to Xingyu's head.
Come on.
This was the first feeling that flashed through Xingyu's mind. But his feet no longer obeyed, and his hands began to tremble slightly.
The sound of my heart beating violently became louder and louder in my ears, as if it was about to jump out of my mouth in the next second.
This terrifying thought instantly invaded the stars, and it was much more terrifying than just now.
Crunchy. The wooden boat was getting closer and closer.
Xingyu desperately wanted to get out of here, but his whole body seemed to freeze, and every cell in his body trembled involuntarily. No matter how hard he tried, this body no longer seemed to be his, and his mind could no longer control any of the nerves and cells.
At this moment, Xingyu felt that the place of the heart seemed to be blank, far away from where the heart should be, and the person, the lamp, and the boat all tilted to the right rear.
Crunch, crunch, the lights still flickering.
Looking at the lamp, Xingyu's head suddenly felt a chill, as if a bucket of cold water was coming from above his head.
In just a few seconds, the whole body was completely cold, the heart was not beating so fast, but the mouth could not be closed, and thousands of cold water poured into the whole body from the mouth.
I felt a tingling sensation in my eyes, but I couldn't close them.
The boat was getting higher and higher, and the man was standing at the bow of the boat, just looking at the stars.
Xingyu tried to open his eyes and waved his hands vigorously, as if he had caught something, but it seemed that he had caught nothing.
The light was getting smaller and smaller, and Xingyu could only vaguely see the man's mouth, the corners of his mouth seemed to extend to his ears, as if he was laughing, but it didn't seem to be.
The man was out of sight, and it was pitch black again. But there seemed to be some very soft, distant sounds in my ears.
But what is certain is that it is the scream of the soul, the scream of the will burned by the raging fire.
Am I dead?
Am I already dead...
……
"Jingle bell bell...
Xingyu slowly opened his eyelids, and a bright light pierced his eyes, and he quickly closed his eyes. "It's so glaring."
