Chapter 1 The Creator of Liberty Chapter 4 The Return
City center. Eleven figures stood in the streets.
"I guess he killed his own beast again, and walked back slowly. A slender figure with a charming voice.
"It's a real headache. The figure on the white wolf said.
"Let's go first, he naturally has a way......," the fat man yawned, rubbed his eyes, and continued, "...... Get back. ”
A figure floating in the air stopped the hand that caressed the tentacles of the beast: "Since everyone said so, then don't wait. Since he didn't come at the appointed time, he must have a way to go back. With a flick of his sleeves, the golden sleeves shone in the air, and a gate appeared in the street.
There is a huge dragon head on this gate, and the snort exudes a solemn aura. The white mist that permeated the gate slowly descended.
"[Tatsube] really made an extraordinary move. A charming voice complimented.
The burly man on the tiger-headed behemoth snorted coldly.
The dragon's eye flashed three times between the words, and then the giant door slowly opened, the voice was heavy and long, and eleven figures entered in turn, disappearing one by one. The closing of the gate was like a magnificent end, silent, in the fog, reduced to nothingness.
A ray of light broke through the sky, silent, swift and light, and then the light faded, and the clouds in the sky were still, and three huge faces appeared.
"It's amazing that this meat cage can actually give birth to a [Governor]. A voice spoke first, hoarse, as if it hadn't spoken in a long time.
"You, a retreat person, really care about the actions of this meat cage world~" A gentle female voice teased.
"Hahahaha, it seems that there is more than one accident. Another male voice was like rolling thunder.
"It's your Ten Thousand Beasts Forest that will start to be lively first. The hoarse voice continued.
"That's good, otherwise when will this boring day come to an end......" Rolling Thunder responded.
Then the face of the mist dissipated.
The breeze was blowing through the streets, and it was as if something had happened in a gap in time, or that nothing had happened.
——————————————————————————————————————————————
Qingtong seemed to be sleeping very deeply this time, and Xiao Hei stepped on his face a few times before waking up. Then he walked over to the empty cat food bowl and lay down to look at him.
Qingtong touched his head, and it was really just a nightmare.
When he came back to his senses, Qingtong found that there were some withered vines on his bed, and his groggy head immediately became sober, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"It won't be true, it won't be true......" Qingtong muttered. He followed the vine to open the door, and Nechi sat outside on the couch with his back to him. Qingtong let out a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Gen, I'm hungry. Qingtong tentatively spoke to him.
Gen was silent and didn't respond as usual, he just sat on the couch with his head down.
"Uncle Gen, Uncle Gen!" Qing Tong's little confidence was gradually drained by this silent response, and he staggered towards the root on the sofa, he had never seen such a root, in his impression, never.
"Uncle Gen, are you uncomfortable?" he stretched out his hand tremblingly and patted Gen's shoulder.
Root's head suddenly fell, and a "bang" slammed into the floor like a wooden ball to create a real and heavy echo, and then grunted a few times, flipped over the expressionless face, and there were two clear words formed by vines on the ground around the sofa: "Take care." ”
These were the last two words Gen said when he threw him out with his wooden hands...... An unusually shrill scream emanated from the apartment, but it was quickly elongated and disappeared, sucked away by the noisy city like a sponge.
The morning of the city was thick with fog, thick as clouds. Qingtong was stunned, not knowing what to do.
Is this the real world? Or is it another dream? The fog outside the window made Qingtong feel more and more uneasy.
"Impossible, impossible!" Qingtong finally sat down, and then as if crazy, he kept beating hard. The thumping of the floor, the sound of Blackie standing up, the ticking of the clock, and the pain and blood in his hands all told him that this was the real world after waking up.
He looked at his hand, his mouth open but he couldn't make a sound, and thin vines came out of the wound to cover the wound and stop the bleeding. The air is cold in this season, unlike in early summer, and the temperature of the house is like a frozen space-time.
"Hey, won't you take it? How long are you going to sit there in a daze? I'm hungry, get me something to eat first. A lazy female voice came from Xiao Hei's mouth.
The voice was familiar, but Qingtong was at a loss. He's had a cat for ten years and now talks to him......
"What kind of world is this?, or is it a dream?" he whispered dreamingly.
"This is what you call the real world when you wake up. The black cat said, as if reading the voice in his heart.
Qingtong turned his head blankly, the puppeteer, the vines growing all over the room for no reason, the leaves on the wounds, and the cat that could talk and read minds...... The world felt extremely foreign to him for a moment.
"Don't worry, that guy isn't really dead...... Black Cat continued.
Qingtong's eyes lit up and he came back to his senses: "What you said is true?"
Uncle Gen has taken care of him for so long, how can his emotions be regarded as half a father, and the words of the black cat have resolved most of the negative emotions in his heart. Although he was full of anxiety about redefining the world, if Uncle Gen hadn't died for him, he wouldn't have to fall into despair.
The black cat didn't explain much, glancing at his injured hand.
Qingtong also began to look at his injured hand again. "yes, yes, that's what it feels like. He muttered.
From childhood to adulthood, every time he was sick or injured, Uncle Gen's big hands always caressed him, the palms were not very soft, but there would be a steady stream of power, which was warm and serene.
"This is the proof that Uncle Gen is alive!" Qingtong raised his hand excitedly, the leaves were still tightly holding the wound, although it was weak, but it was a steady stream of power, which was familiar to him since he was a child!
Although he has made up his mind in his heart, he still has to find this mysterious black cat to confirm. A short dream completely subverted all his senses, and the black cat in front of him was familiar and unfamiliar, but it was the only one who answered his many doubts.
The black cat nodded solemnly.
"You should treat me well now, because I know a lot of things you don't know. The black cat smiled and held its head high, elegant like a nobleman.
Qingtong reacted from the shock and hurriedly got up and went to the refrigerator to find some canned food that Xiao Hei usually likes to eat.
"If you have a body, you will be hungry, it's really troublesome. The black cat said as he ate.
"That...... Who are you?" Qingtong didn't know what to call it.
"Let's call me Blackie. I'm not possessed by anything, you brought me here ten years ago. It's been using this name......" the black cat looked up.
"You're Xiao Hei, you've been ......" Qingtong was a little speechless, but he was also relieved in his heart.
Then there was a flash of inspiration, as if remembering something, Qingtong suddenly became excited: "Ten years ago? Ten years ago! Do you know my father? He never came back after that night ten years ago. ”
"Your father...... At that time, I was too busy to take care of myself, and if I had disappeared that night, there were two possibilities. Little Black paused and swallowed the food in his mouth.
"Was taken into that world by the apostles, or ...... became a victim of that battle. ”
"Apostle, the battle?" Qingtong began to recall......, "Is the Apostle the same rat beast that chased me just now?" Who saved me? And then, that night's still plane, meteorites, whirlpools, and occult behemoths...... It's all true?"
Xiao Hei didn't answer his question immediately, and there was a look of memory in her eyes, as if she was touched by a certain keyword, she suddenly became angry, and an invisible force swept away from her.
Qingtong only felt dizzy, the sky was spinning, and it was difficult to stand. If this breath continues for a few more moments, you will probably pass out.
Xiao Hei realized the gaffe, and immediately restrained his breath: "I'm sorry, I thought of something unhappy." ”
Qingtong held his head and sat on the sofa: "Ha, haha! It seems that I have come into contact with something that I have always wanted to understand but couldn't understand." Let's start with the battle that night. ”
Xiao Hei took a deep breath, then jumped on the sofa and said, "That world, that battle, is not something you can understand now. ”
Qingtong's eyes were full of anticipation: "That world...... What kind of world is it?"
"Do you really want to know?" Xiao Hei looked at him with a witty expression.
Qingtong nodded excitedly, extremely serious, the identity of Uncle Gen, who was good friends with his father, suddenly became a mystery, all the unknowns in the labyrinth and the books left by his father were also mysteries that could not be solved temporarily, and he was more and more sure in his heart that these mysteries left by his father must be related to the world that Xiao Hei said. And...... That world seems to hide something he longs for more.
"Uncle Gen, father, and ......" Qingtong fantasized, and suddenly a small energy burst out from his body, similar to the invisible power released by Xiao Hei just now, but it was dozens of times smaller, and this feeling of breeze even Qing Tong himself didn't notice, but Xiao Hei found out.
"Reiki?" is a qualification with an inscrutable background...... Perhaps, you can take a gamble. The black cat pondered, and a light flashed in its deep pupils like a meteor in the night.
"I don't know much about a lot of what happened until now, but ...... How can I enter the world you are talking about?" Qingtong looked up, his eyes excited and determined.
"Ten years ago, I was the first life you brought out of your so-called dreams. Maybe all this is already destined in fate......" Xiao Hei's eyes flickered, and he thought silently in his heart. Seeing Qingtong's fiery eyes, she opened her mouth to respond: "In that case, I'll help you open the door to the new world." She looked at Qingtong, and a throbbing in her body was suppressed by her.
"My fate, how can I be willing to sink like this......" Xiao Hei's eyes lit up with a flame of another color.
"Qinglong, you said yes. ”
The metal-clad book in the bedroom trembled twice, a faint flash of light, and then calmed down.
The smog of the city gradually cleared, and it became noisy as usual.
