Chapter 20: The Mysterious Fog
After returning home, Shao Xinger learned that her parents were temporarily recalled to the unit for a seminar because of today's incident, and they had to fight all night, so her original first-hand plan was perfect, and she could only carry out the only remaining plan.
She took out her phone and simply edited the information of the collection, but when she was about to press the send button, she hesitated. There are two main factors for this hesitation, one is that there are many misanthropic creatures in the Amber Realm, and with their abilities, they can tear apart an ordinary person in an instant, which is very dangerous, and the other factor is that this plan has a 99% chance that her identity will be exposed in front of her friends, and she doesn't want people to know that she is an elf. After thinking about it, she simply collapsed on the bed, but after some intense inner struggle, she finally pressed send.
At the same time, there is another person who is also troubled.
"You...... Don't you have to go home?" asked Xiwen, who had just come in from outside the door, curiously to the uninvited guest behind him.
Just now, he finally waited for everyone to leave before he found a hidden place to teleport himself home, but he didn't expect that in the end, a familiar figure slipped in while he was not paying attention.
"I have no home to go back to. Wu Yan said calmly.
Xiwen turned his head to look at him, still with that indifferent expression, cold, but he didn't hide the loneliness that flashed in his eyes, which happened to be caught by Xiwen.
Xiwen did not continue to ask, but said to Wu Yan:
"If you like, you can stay, anyway, I'm living alone at the moment, and I should be able to sleep in a crowded bed. ”
After a day of hard work, the two of them took a comfortable hot shower and climbed into bed, but the two boys of one meter and eight years old were squeezed together, and it was indeed a little difficult to get on the bed.
The next day, the five people gathered at the gate of Yanguishan Park on time, and they didn't sleep until the middle of the night yesterday, so the five of them didn't wake up. They stood side by side in front of the park gate, Luo Jin yawned a lot, and exclaimed:
"Why so early?"
Everyone nodded, and then looked at Shao Xing'er in the middle puzzled. Shao Xing'er stared ahead for a long time, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Of course I'm not asking you to come to the park for morning exercises, this is just an entrance, the next place we are going to is called the Amber Realm, where the elves, goblins and all kinds of strange creatures on the earth live, and to enter there, you can only enter the place at the turn of the sun and the moon every day, that is to say, there are only two points in a day to have the opportunity to enter and exit this place, one is sunrise and the other is dusk. ”
"Wow! Xing'er, you're so good! Even I know all this, it seems that I will have to read as many books as you in the future!"
Luo Jin's adoring eyes twinkled with countless stars. Shao Xing'er's mouth moved, but she wanted to speak, and her heart was still engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, as if there were two people pulling her soul. After a moment of silence, she said solemnly:
"These things don't come from reading books, in fact, I belong to the inhabitants of it, I am an elf. ”
"Oh~ I see! Can we go in?" Leng Zimo interjected.
Shao Xing'er, who originally thought that they would be very surprised, was shocked in turn because he saw that the four of them still had indifferent faces:
"You don't think you woke up, I'm a legendary elf, aren't you surprised?"
Leng Zimo said: "Miss Elf, don't you look at what kind of profession my family has, what strange things have you never seen?" "You just say it's understandable, but what about the three of you?" Shao Xing'er was full of curiosity.
"We'll know why we don't think we're weird when we're in. Xiwen squinted his eyes and explained softly.
At this time, a dazzling golden light appeared in the east, and the sun arrived as scheduled. calmed down a bit, and seeing that everyone was fully prepared, Shao Xing'er took out two round crystals, one red and one blue, and then held the red one in his left hand against the rising sun, and the red one in his right hand against the falling moon, and said in his mouth:
"O wonderful light of the sun and the moon, please allow me to follow in your footsteps, and guide me to the source of my dreams, the realm of amber, with the path of your tracks!"
A few seconds later, the two crystals emitted two rays of light, and Shao Xing'er immediately lifted them above his head, followed by his wrists outward and crossed his hands, and the two rays of light immediately changed lanes towards the middle, and met in the air to form a beam of golden light, which shot straight into Yanguishan Park.
"You'll pass through a foggy area later, you must watch the light above me move forward, and don't believe anything you see inside, you know?" Shao Xing'er reminded cautiously.
"Yes!" replied the four.
The five of them followed Shao Xing'er into the park, and when they first entered the park, except for no one, all the scenery was the same as usual, the fitness facilities at the door, stone tables and chairs, wooden benches, all kinds of ornamental flowers and plants, artificial lakes and so on. They walked along the main road at the door, and it was not long before they noticed that the scenery around them was gradually blurring, and a thin mist lingered around them.
The fog grew thicker and thicker, and soon enveloped everyone as if they were covered with a vacuum helmet, and in this thick fog everything was so quiet that one could not hear anything, see nothing, feel nothing, only a thick milky white, and the light that guided them further and further away.
After walking for a while, Luo Jin, who suddenly couldn't see her partners, walked a little hairy in her heart, although she remembered that Shao Xing'er said that as long as she followed the light above her head, she still couldn't help but shout tentatively:
"Xing'er!Are you still there?!"
There was still a dead silence around her, so dead that she didn't even hear her own voice. Just as she was about to shout again, a black figure appeared in the fog and ran in her direction at breakneck speed. After a while, Leng Zimo, who was wearing an orange robe, appeared in front of her with a money sword in his hand, covered in blood, his robe was already tattered, blood was flowing on his head, and most of his face had been stained red.
Luo Jin was a little dazed for a while, she immediately squatted down to check Leng Zimo who fell to the ground, but found that his pulse and breathing were already very weak, she shouted everyone's names anxiously, and there was still silence. Seeing that the shouting had no effect at all, Luo Jin immediately turned her attention back to Leng Zimo, she took out a handkerchief and pressed it on Leng Zimo's head, intending to help him stop the bleeding first, but she didn't notice Wu Yan who appeared behind her at all.
At this time, Wu Yan's eyes were red, he was holding a giant scythe in his hand, two huge bat wings were added behind his back, and there were streams of evil black gas around his body, he raised the sickle in his hand, looked at Luo Jin in front of him and said proudly:
"Caught another one!"
Luo Jin, who reacted, had no time to dodge, the sickle fell quickly, and at this moment, a pair of powerful hands pushed her to the ground, and Leng Zimo, who had fainted, jumped up and blocked the sickle with his chest, the sickle pierced through his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, he hugged the sickle with his last strength, and shouted to Luo Jin:
"Run!"
Luo Jin, who was dumbfounded, heard Leng Zimo's shout, and immediately ran into the fog, she ran rampant in the fog like a blind fly, and only slowly stopped when she ran away from breath. She still couldn't believe what had just happened, and she wanted to tell Shao Xing'er and Xiwen right away, but no matter how she shouted, she didn't hear a voice, whether it was her own or the other party's.
At the same time, Xiwen also followed the light of Shao Xing'er in a milky white fog, but after a while, he found that the light guiding him stopped, and Xiwen was shocked, something must have happened.
He walked briskly to the front, and when the light appeared clearly in front of him, he was stunned, for in his vision there was only a pair of hands holding two crystals, bloodily hanging from a tree branch. Xiwen immediately stepped forward to check, but as soon as he approached, a corpse that had lost his hands fell from the tree and fell apart in front of Xiwen, it was Shao Xing'er!
"Shao Xing'er!"
Siwen shouted, but without utterance, he jumped back alertly, drew his rapier from the ring, and stared at the impending dark shadow in front of him. Highly vigilant, he didn't expect that it was Luo Jin who appeared in front of him through the dense fog with a frightened face.
Luo Jin looked around, and as soon as she saw Xiwen, she turned into a faucet that opened the gate and cried out "wow", she couldn't wait to tell Xiwen everything she saw:
"Leng Zimo is dead! Just now in the fog, Leng Zimo appeared in front of me with a serious injury, followed by Wu Yan also appeared, but at that time he was holding a big scythe, and there were wings behind him, he wanted to attack me, but in the end he was blocked by Leng Zimo, Leng Zimo was killed by his sickle in order to save me. It's horrible here, let's hurry up!"
Luo Jin said while sobbing, but Xiwen, who heard all this, thought about it. For a moment, he seemed to have figured out everything, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Are you stupid?" Luo Jin asked angrily.
Xiwen looked at Luo Jin in front of him, his eyes suddenly sharpened, his mouth moved, he said a word, and then pierced Luo Jin's stomach with a sword. Completely unexpected, Luo Jin's eyes widened and she stared at Xiwen in disbelief, and she fell to the ground little by little. Tears were streaming down her face, and before she closed her eyes, her eyes replayed the last words that Xiwen had said to her with the shape of her mouth: Shouldn't you know best what I laugh at?
