"Jingle Bell~"

The crisp brass bells echo in the ears along with the cheerful music, and the amusement park is full of noisy people, all of which are immersed in the sound of laughter immersed in happiness.

Sitting on the bench, Liang Xiao raised his head and looked at the carousel facility in front of him, among which was the white wooden horse, Fei Ya was sitting sideways, her eyes wandering, and Liang Xiao looked at each other, showing a happy smile.

As if his emotions were infected, Liang Xiao unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth, then stood up and walked towards Feiya.

"Click......"

A subtle voice came from under his feet, Liang Xiao's expression stiffened slightly, and when he looked down, he saw that there were cracks scattered on the ground where his right foot had just stepped out.

"Ga~"

The sound of the music suddenly became harsh, Liang Xiao suddenly raised his head, the speed of the merry-go-round became faster for some reason, and he could even see sparks bursting out from the middle reel, and the originally noisy crowd around him was nowhere to be found at this moment.

Scarlet!

wanted to shout like this, but for some reason couldn't say it at all, as if he was choking his vocal cords, Liang Xiao stretched out his hand and stepped forward, the ground under his feet was like a fragile layer of ice, and every time he took a step forward, there would be cracks and collapses.

And at this moment, the Trojan horse stopped spinning, and Scarlet was still sitting on the horse's back staring at the two children, the smile on her face exuding infinite vitality.

"Boom!"

Inside the fence, the merry-go-round facility shattered, the ground collapsed, and along with countless Trojan horses, Scarlet Ya's figure was swallowed by a black void like an abyssal beast.

"Scarlet!"

Sitting up suddenly, but his forehead hit something hard, Liang Xiao was confused and lay on the ground for a long time, full of tears in pain, and sat up with difficulty.

"Scarlet ......"

However, what he saw in front of him at this moment was not the dilapidated amusement park behind the prosperity, but the trees.

There is no end to the trees, if you can fly to the sky and look down at it at this moment, you probably see an endless sea of trees, the Amazon rainforest? It may be described like this, but Liang Xiao who is here can feel that it is not that kind of climate, not humid, not dry, and not hot and cold at all.

Everything was perfect.

"Where is it...... The underworld? Completely clueless, stretched out his hand and knocked on his head, Liang Xiao gradually recalled that the battle with Apusu, in the end, Scarlet Ya took the scarred creator god and fell into eternal prison, and his consciousness was also broken after that.

"Damn ......" recalled the scene at that time, Liang Xiao only felt powerless, and Scarlet was swallowed by the Gate of the End in front of him, but he couldn't do anything, just like Anya at that time, he joined the Spirit Master Organization, the original purpose was to make such a tragedy not happen again, but ......

Calming down slightly, Liang Xiao stood up again and looked around.

The underworld? No, it's not the same as the underworld, it has an extraordinary feeling, the fungi that grow under the tall branches, and the continuous sound of birds and birds overhead, bring a sense of vitality, which is very different from the underworld.

"What kind of place is this...... muttered in a low voice, Liang Xiao took a step forward, the place where he was a path that stretched to the depths, maybe if he followed this road, what would happen.

Clenching his fists slightly, Liang Xiao frowned, raised his right hand and glanced at it, but to his surprise, there was no more stigma on the back of his hand.

The "......" accident only existed for a moment, but for some reason Liang Xiao felt a trace of right, in the underworld, Lianhua had successfully broken away from the 'domain' in her body and become an independent personality, and her original identity should also be a member of the fairies of Lake Avalon.

"Elves, really." Staring at the back of his hand, Liang Xiao was a little distracted, he lost the stigma, is he just an ordinary person...... The things that were promised before were like a joke.

It's stupid.

Thinking so, he still dragged his pace and began to move along the path of the forest.

…… I don't know how long it has been, and the tiredness in my body has gradually surged, but the forest still has no end in sight, and I don't know how long it will take to go on like this.

Sitting down on the stake on the side of the road, Liang Xiao wiped the sweat from his head, stretched out his hand to hold the branch next to him, and glanced ahead, and suddenly, his face changed slightly.

The scenery in front of you has a strong sense of déjà vu.

Holding the branch's hand, Liang Xiao looked down carefully, and then stretched out his hand and touched his forehead.

This is where I fell asleep when I just woke up, and I hit the branch because of the force I used too much.

“…… Lost? Liang Xiao gasped, it stands to reason that it is impossible, even if he is lost, but he is walking along the road, almost without a turn, how can he come back here?

"Damn, how could it be." Liang Xiao looked around, "Could it be that I met a ghost and shot me?" Are you kidding. ”

"Don't say that, it's all possible."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded overhead, Liang Xiao hurriedly raised his head, and a figure fell from above with a large number of leaves.

"Hey! Whew! Stretching out his hand to remove the branches and leaves in front of him, Liang Xiao finally saw the person in front of him clearly.

"Loki?" Sitting on the stump, Liang Xiao looked at Loki, who was standing next to him against the trunk of the tree, with a somewhat subtle expression, "What are you still doing with me?" ”

"It's not that I'm following you, it's that I can't leave you at all." Loki shrugged, "I'm not a soul, and I'm not a consciousness, because you have my genes in your body, so I was born into a part of your body with the memories of the body, understand?" ”

"Sounds disgusting."

"I'd like to explain it in a different way." With his hands propped up on the trunk, Loki smiled, "But it looks like you're in trouble right now." ”

Liang Xiao looked into the distance, was silent for a moment and then spoke: "That's probably it, what kind of place is this, the underworld or?" ”

"In your St. Petersburg Tirnano Union."

Liang Xiao looked at Loki with an exaggerated expression and sneered: "Come on, don't say if there is such a big forest over there, I was outside like this season now, and now I am a popsicle." ”

Shaking his head as if mocking ignorance, Loki said, "I didn't say this is the real world. ”

"Isn't the real world Cyberpunk 20XX?"

Ignoring Liang Xiao's questioning, Loki tore a leaf from the branch, kneaded it in his hand, and slowly spoke: "Human research has surprised our gods in many places, the most outstanding of which are the two aspects of nerves and genes, I never thought that I would be reborn in this way. ”

"And now, this place you are in is a huge world of consciousness, your brain is controlled by instruments, into a deep forest that can never get out, and this forest inhibits the neurons in your brain, if you can't get out, you can never wake up, it can be said that the world's smartest prison, no need for a strong metal door, no need for strict guards, and don't worry about whether he will escape from prison, because in terms of the limitations of the human body itself, it is impossible to beat the computing speed of your computer."

"This thing, in a relatively old way, is called a brain in a jar, if you use the new name of the spirit master."

"That's the Dark Forest."
