Chapter 12: Strange Circle

It's a faint, comfortable girlish voice.

The woman sitting at the table drinking tea replied lazily.

"Didn't you sleep too? ”

The toddler chuckled, "I don't sleep because you don't." ”

The young child blinked with large purple eyes, and there was a hint of evil in his pupils. If you look closely at those eyes, the deep purple pupils are bottomless, as if they can suck a person's soul in.

With neat snow-colored short hair, the purple-eyed child who sat on the edge of the bed and shook his feet became more and more enchanting.

The thin eyebrows were raised, and the lilac eyes overflowed with a hint of playfulness.

"But on this summer night...... Why don't you sleep? ”

The woman sitting at the table drinking tea did not answer.

Gradually, the color of the night became thicker and heavier.

......

A yin wind suddenly blew from the front.

Blowing the clouds shivering from head to toe.

It seems to lead to the outside, right?

Liuyun thought to himself.

Liuyun chose the leftmost road, leaning against the wall and walking, and his vision gradually brightened.

In the narrow passage, there is a shallow layer of stagnant water. The shoes feel a little sticky when you step on them.

I walked for a long time against the wall, and I didn't come close to the end of the passage.

It's a little brighter than the cave at the beginning, but it's still a little dark. A little farther ahead, you can't see the road at all.

As he walked, he felt that the puddles were gradually becoming more numerous than they had been.

Then he picked up two stones and threw one forward.

"Boom-"

There was the muffled sound of stones falling to the ground.

Liuyun had points in his heart.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

So as I walked, I always stopped to throw a few stones to see if there were any big puddles or potholes on the road ahead.

Gradually, the clouds felt like the ground was getting much drier.

It's hard to see puddles appearing.

Liuyun's heart opened up a lot.

It's probably not far from the end.

Liuyun began to quicken his pace and slowly trotted forward. Feel free to throw the last few stones left in your hand at your feet.

In the silent tunnel, there was no sound except for the rustling footsteps of the flowing clouds running.

The silence was somewhat scary.

After running a few steps, suddenly, Liuyun's footsteps stopped.

Suddenly, starting from the scalp, the whole body began to shake uncontrollably.

The whole body is tingling from the inside out.

If the last time I saw a dense swarm of witch spiders, I felt numb, it was a visually induced physical reaction from the outside in.

And this time, it was really from the inside out, and the chill that completely reverses from his heart envelops his whole body.

Just now......

I threw the stones behind me......

Why, no, the sound of landing.

......

The cold wind blew silently.

Liuyun stood in place, his head slowly turned a few times, and he never looked back.

"Da"

A drop of sweat slid down Liuyun's cheek and slammed into the ground.

"Plop, plop, plop"

It was as if his heart was about to pop out of his mouth, and the heavy heartbeat against his eardrums again and again.

Liuyun gritted his teeth and jerked his head back.

I only felt a "bang" in my brain, as if I had been smashed by a sledgehammer. The scene in front of him made him lose the ability to think.

Behind him, not the way he came.

It's an endless abyss.

There was a thick darkness.

The body couldn't help but tremble, and a few small pieces of gravel and sand gently slipped down the cliff at his feet.

Bottomless.

Liuyun suddenly went crazy and ran forward.

At first, he looked back a few times while running, but when he saw that the abyss behind him was constantly expanding, and the speed of spread was getting faster and faster, Liuyun simply used all his strength to scatter the girl and ran wildly.

Liuyun's brain has lost the ability to think, and all that is left is running, constantly running forward.

Finally, when Liuyun's body was about to lose its hold, a little light appeared in front of the passage.

It's like a person on the verge of despair suddenly grasping at a life-saving straw.

All fear, weariness, is gone.

All that was left was the faint light that flickered in front of me.

Getting closer, getting closer!

Finally, the flowing cloud "plopped" and pounced on the end of the passage.

Suddenly it went dark.

After Liuyun slowly got used to the darkness here, he just wanted to get up.

Suddenly, I felt a few pieces of fine cloth at hand. The soft fabric twisted in the palm of his hand made him stunned for a moment.

Liuyun was stunned.

Breathing began to become more and more rapid, and the muscles that had been relaxed became extremely tense again.

With trembling hands, he slowly picked up the rag.

When he got closer, it looked exactly like the cloth he had wrapped around his ankles.

My heart was suffocated.

"Ahh

The fist slammed into the ground.

In this closed underground cavern**, the boy let out a long roar, and what replied to him was a series of repeated and vague echoes.

......

"What do you say He Yan, is there some similarity with Lao Jiang?"

In the silence of the night, the young child, who was lying on the bed with his arm on his pillow, suddenly said this coldly.

With that, he turned over, his elbows on his chin, and his cheeks propped up.

The big purple eyes looked straight at the woman sitting at the table flipping through the book.

The woman's hand flipping through the book paused.

"Like. ”

"yes...... I think it's like that. ”

The toddler stuck out his tongue.

After thinking about it, I added another sentence.

"It's all so infatuated. ”

The girl's voice that spat out of her mouth was as gentle as the wind blowing into the house at night.

Gently, there seems to be an inexplicable ability to lose consciousness for a short time.

After a long time, the woman closed the book.

"Infatuated ......"

Muttering in the mouth.

Danfeng, who was carrying it, had a rare momentary loss of concentration in his eyes.

But in the next moment, he returned to his previous indifference.

As if he had thought of something, he immediately provoked a mocking smile on his lips.

"It's just fools. ”

The young child lying on the bed quietly stared at the woman not far away, and some strange emotions flashed in his eyes.

"That's why you save people?"

There was a playful light in the dark purple pupils.

"I didn't save anyone. ”

The woman clasped the lid of the teacup tightly and lifted her fingers.

The window in the distance slammed shut, blocking out the wind outside.

"I've always been a businessman who receives favors, never a philanthropist. ”

Then he stood up.

"But didn't you finally give him back his appearance and the spiritual power that you had sucked away? ”

The toddler chuckled.

As if sensing the sudden coldness of the woman, the young boy raised his eyebrows and silenced him knowingly.

Then he slowly stretched his waist, and his body gradually shrunk and changed, and finally turned into a snow-colored civet.

"Meow"

The civet jumped off the bed.

A few steps approached the feet of the woman standing at the table, lazily wrapping around her ankles as she made a flattering "grunt" sound.

......
