Later, when he looked at it carefully, it seemed that the clear river water was more crystal clear than glass and more transparent than hydrogen. Sometimes it may be an accidental illusion with the naked eye, and you can even see a trace of purple ripples in the water of the Tianhe, like ten thousand rainbows, rolling and rushing. Everywhere in the field, there are phosphorescent triangular markers, which rise brightly above the clouds.

……

There are fewer people in the square day by day.

In the very beginning, there was often a steady stream of people coming from all over the country at the registration desk at the entrance of the guild and then huddled together.

But as time went on, the number of people who came to sign up gradually became more and more thin.

"You're still sitting here." Holding a stack of rune paper in his hand, Glow Hourglass walked over to Autumn Frost Moon and sat down.

Because losing the edge of the long night is equivalent to losing the lamp dew vertebrae, the glow hourglass returns to its previous life in the Halo Guild.

"I'm waiting for someone." Qiu Shuangyue said unabashedly, while her eyes continued to focus on the location of the registration office.

"Mm-hmm, I know," Glow Hourglass pulled a brush from his waist, then picked up a piece of rune paper and began to draw, as if he was quite skilled at this simple job.

"You're waiting for the edge of the night." He stumbled and drew a freeze charm, then said.

"After all, it is written in the rules that the place of registration is the landlord city where the character belongs." Qiu Shuangyue said, "In that case, then within a radius of 100 miles, the only one that meets the standards is Moon Song City." ”

"Yes, even the people of Wanye Country have to come to Moon Song City to report, so what is the result?" Glow Hourglass asked.

"What result?"

"What else could it be?"

"Hah...... Since I'm still sitting here, isn't that telling? Qiu Shuangyue shook his head, and the expression on his face was a little lonely, "Don't say you came to sign up, his name on the friends list has never lit up." ”

"This kind of thing is absolutely weird, isn't it?"

Autumn Frost Moon leaned back in her chair, then sighed slowly.

"After all, you know, he's never been off the line since I added his friend."

"Never?" When Glow Hourglass heard this, he frowned unconsciously, "That means that as long as you open the friends list, his name must be lit up?" ”

"Hmm." Qiu Shuangyue bowed slightly, "So this is definitely weird, right?" ”

"That day in the abyss...... What's going on? ”

Hearing this, the glow hourglass couldn't help but feel a chill welling up in his heart.

……

"I didn't expect that even I could sign up." Elise stood on the balcony of Egret City, looking down at the place of the gods beneath her.

"Probably because you borrowed the identity of the Edge Night." Nangong Xiaya was sitting next to the tea table in the room, his eyes slightly closed, "Didn't you say before, originally you were just his guardian spirit-like thing, but because of those abyss demons, you had to use some special methods to manifest from his body." ”

"In other words, you and his identity have been reversed, he should have been the subject, you are the soul, and now it just happens to be the other way around." Nangong Xiaya held the teacup in his hand and quietly looked at the girl standing on the balcony, "So now, you are actually living in place of the edge of the long night - there should be no problem for me to say so, right?" ”

“…… No. Elise was silent for a moment before replying.

Because it is.

Aside from the instincts of not having the Edge Night, she now does seem to have all the rights of the Edge Night as a player.

But it also proves something else.

That's the identity of Edge Long Night as a player, which has really disappeared.

It seems that the theories of those demons may have really succeeded.

……

The consciousness of the long night on the edge of the night had awakened for a moment.

When he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by an eternal void.

The void is like the universe, with rotating galaxies, flying stars, flickering points of light, and some strange gestures for unknown reasons.

He was in the void, not knowing if he belonged to the void or if he was an uninvited guest who suddenly broke in.

He was able to remember everything that had happened before.

He could think of the Gear City, Xie Yan, the Black Mist, Elis, and the Manyo Kingdom.

What happened in the Divine Habitat before, he was able to recall them one by one.

After all, for him, these things were just things that had just happened.

He knew everything about memories without any mistakes.

But the only thing he didn't know was about the present, about the present.

The consciousness of the edge of the long night opened its mouth, trying to make a sound, but found that he couldn't make a sound.

Then he floated in the thousands of stars, so he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and observe everything around him.

Countless points of light in the void flickered and flickered, as if a soul was dying, and as if a life was being born.

However, it is also possible that these two are going on at the same time, and the Edge Long Night is not very clear about this kind of thing.

His eyes wandered, immersed in the graceful and deep void, and then he thought of Elise.

It would be nice if Elise was here too.

He thought to himself.

But this is not something to do.

So, he can only continue to indulge, after all, he has nothing to do.

A boat of dreams presses the galaxy.

Then, after some unknown time, a ray of light suddenly pierced through the stars and the Milky Way, and shot straight from the other side of the void into the horizon of the long night on the edge.

It was a light that had never been seen in the long night on the edge, and in the dark void it seemed so pure and so dangerous.

But despite this, the edge of the long night still can't stop wanting to touch the light of thought.

Because he had a feeling in his heart, a wonderful feeling.

"This light seems to have been born for me."

Under the light of countless galaxies in the void, the edge of the long night thought.

This is the metaphysical story that happened in the moment he woke up.

……

The three days of registration ended quickly, even sooner than expected.

Even the autumn frost moon, who has been waiting for the long night on the edge, thinks so.

"Wait until six o'clock tomorrow morning, and the preliminaries should begin." The glow hourglass has also been sitting next to Autumn Frost Moon today, drawing spells.

"Hmm." Qiu Shuangyue looked at the registration point that was completely empty, and stretched her waist, "The registration officially ends at twelve o'clock, and then the preliminaries will start in six hours, and then the group will be grouped or something......

"Just pray you don't run into me." Glow Hourglass laughed.

"That's my original line." Although he didn't have much energy to fight with the glow hourglass, he still choked back out of courtesy.

"Looks like the long night on the edge is really not coming."

Qiu Shuangyue opened the friend list again, looked at the gray name on it, and sighed lightly.
