Step by step, I walked up the stone steps.

I don't know why, I'm inexplicably scared.

I could feel that there was something on the stone steps that I would never want to see.

But......

It's not my character to run away.

That thing, it exists, and it doesn't stop in this world because you don't want to come closer.

It seemed to light up in front of my eyes, and my body felt colder and colder.

What's on it?

Is it a big ball of ice?

It's so cold here, there seems to be no other explanation.

On the top of the stone steps, there was a wall of thick ice blocks in front of me. There was a cold glow coming out of the walls. It resembles the light of the beads in my hand.

What about behind this wall? And what is it?

Why did Kim come here?

Here, what the hell is there.

Inside this neatly built ice block, you can faintly see it...... Alone.

A man, piled up in the middle by ice.

I slowly raised my hand, trying to move the ice away.

But my hand was not strong, and when my hand touched the ice, it stuck to it, and when I pulled my hand hard, the skin in my palm was sticked.

I didn't feel cold or hurt at all, and when I was about to reach for the ice again, a low, hoarse voice said, "What are you going to do?" ”

I suddenly looked back, and a tall black figure appeared behind me.

Who is this man? Or rather, he ...... Is it human?

He slowly approached: "You know...... People in the ice? ”

I wasn't scared at all.

I looked back at the figure in the ice: "I'd like to...... I don't know him. ”

Kim didn't know when he came closer, but it couldn't get close to the ice. The Snake's Blood ...... Is it cold......

"If you know him, I can help you." The figure spoke, and his voice was hoarse and indistinguishable. He was not tall like a human, with a strange body shape and a strange voice.

"Okay." He said, reaching out and gently grabbing a piece of ice and setting it aside, as if he were holding nothing more than an empty shell of papier-mâché. He put down one piece and took another, moving quickly. It's like ...... It's as if he's piled it up here so skillfully and briskly.

The ice blocks are decreasing one by one, and the figures in the ice are becoming clearer and clearer.

That man......

That man!

I threw myself away from the rest of the ice, pushed and embraced, and stumbled to get it all out of the way.

There was a man who lay there quietly.

He looked as if he were asleep. The same beads as in my hand were quietly scattered around him, reflecting that he looked like a human statue made of jade.

My fingers touched him.

Cold, tight.

This is not a living person......

He's dead.

Immorton ......

Why, what's going on?

I've always believed that you're not dead, and I believe in you.

But you're lying here, lying in a pile of ice.

There were no scars on his body, and his face was so calm.

I slowly reached out and gently touched his eyebrows, his closed eyes, his cold face and the tip of his nose.

Immorton, can you, open your eyes again......

Look at me again.

I came to you so far away, so far away, and you didn't look at me anymore, can you be willing?

"He gave you this bead, didn't he?" The man said angrily, "You are the one he is waiting for, right?" The last time he left, I gave him this bead so he could give it to ...... The girl he liked. Is that you? ”

Yes, he gave me this bead

I asked him, "Who are you?" ”

The man was stunned and muttered, "Who am I?" Who am I? ”

I turned my head and looked at Immorton lying there.

It turns out that this bead came from here......

I didn't know I had spoken out, and the man said, "Yes, only I can use this bead." Here I use it to illuminate ......"

"Isn't there a fire here?" I said dumbfounded

"Fire?" He made a strange voice, crying and laughing: "I have never owned fire, I have only seen it secretly...... The gift of the god of fire will not fall on me, a cursed monster. ”

"Okay, you can't scare me." I said slowly, "You're obviously human, not a monster. ”

"Am I not a monster?"

I ignored him, struggling to pick Emmorton up. But his body was made of iron and stone, and I could not move him even a bit.

"You're injured...... the man said a little flustered, "I have to heal ...... wounds."

I want to pick up Immorton.

He shouldn't sleep in this place, I'm going to take him back.

He agreed, and he wanted to go back to Egypt.

We're going to be together, he promised. He didn't care that I couldn't make my relationship open with him, he didn't care that I couldn't officially marry him, he said, as long as we were together......

He said he wanted to teach me stargazing, he taught me a lot of things, and in the future, we will be together for a long, long time......

So, you can't lie here alone.

I'll take you back to Egypt, and we won't be separated again, will we?"

Immorton, you are a very trustworthy person, how can you break your promise to do so?

Isn't it? Did you hear what I said?

We, we still have a long way to go.

Are you not with me anymore?

"You ......," said the monster-like man in surprise, "you cried ......"

Am I crying?

No, I'm not crying.

"Human tears, how can they ...... Is it red? ”

I raised my hand and wiped it on my face.

Yes, in the green light, I could see that there was a layer of frost on my fingers.

On the fingertips, red.

Am I shedding tears? Are there red tears?

The man took a step forward, his hand outstretched, and seemed curious to see what was in my eyes.

I just felt that my body was getting heavier and heavier, and finally I couldn't support it anymore and fell headlong forward.
