1. We are waiting
In a place completely shrouded in darkness, an earth-shattering battle is taking place, with angels with flaming wings, knights in heavy armor, crusaders armed with golden swords, and an evil army of smoky bone dragons, hideous and terrifying death knights, and countless skeletons.
The battlefield of the battle between the two sides is not somewhere on a plain full of war and gunpowder smoke or a burial ground full of bones, but in a dark and boundless darkness, which is undoubtedly a very strange phenomenon.
But what's even more bizarre is that outside this battlefield, in the void shrouded in endless darkness, a few faint voices can be heard whispering?
"Operate it, hurry up and operate it! Oh, my God! Don't take the bone dragon to carry the angel! This thing can only be used to scary, why fight with other people's angels? ”
"When you talk about others, you should control your Death Knight first! The Death Knight and the Moving Bunker are fighting!! It's stupid... And our army of skeletons? ”
"Where are my troops? Who's attacking my troops? Where is the enemy? ”
When they heard such a standard classic trifecta, the other two voices were suddenly silent, and there was no suspense about the outcome of this epic battle, and the scattered evil army was soon rushed to pieces by the group of golden guys on the opposite side, and those voices simply continued to surrender and admit defeat in silence...
When the battle was over, the original angels, knights, and skeletons that had scattered on the battlefield disappeared into the darkness of the background, and the place once again returned to a state of absolute silence shrouded in endless darkness, as if nothing had happened.
But several voices continued to communicate something, and even more voices joined in.
"My teammates are just a bunch of pigs! The pegs are better than them! Not only did it not help the battle situation at all, but it also had to seize the command of the core troops..."The voice that had failed before said with some unwillingness.
"Phew! It's clear that the undead creatures are too weak, and if it were my demon army, it would definitely be different..."The other voice also fought back without showing weakness, and made such a forcible defense for his wrong command: "I thought that the Death Knight could easily take out those bunkers. ”
"Please don't quarrel, by the way, can you tell me where my skeleton soldiers ran away at that time?"
After hearing this voice, there were a few chuckles in the darkness, and the two sides of the argument suddenly lost their tempers, and said helplessly to the victorious side: "The skills are not as good as others, and they are willing to bow to the wind." ”
And the winner actually carried out a round of ungraceful taunts at this time?
"Haha! Good will triumph over evil! ”
"In the face of our strength, whether it is the undead or the demons, even the gods will kill you!"
Such words are undoubtedly more infuriating, and the two sides that have calmed down suddenly started a new round of scolding war, and the third person of the victorious side who is outside this new battlefield asked helplessly: "Shouldn't I organize this round of games?" ”
It turns out that the previous tragic and heroic battle turned out to be just a game?
A voice that was not involved in the game responded: "It's amazing to be able to simulate a realistic war with your consciousness, so that we onlookers feel like you're there, and you're really good at surprising us, I hope your Excellency." ”
And this guy called hope faced the other party's sudden thanks, and replied in a low-key manner: "You have won the prize, this is just a pastime." ”
Yes, that great battle like a life-and-death duel between the righteous and evil camps is just a pastime, and it can only add a little fun to this endless prison.
This is the realm of the void beyond the plane of reality, a Jedi that is supposed to be eternally dark, cold, and silent, where no living beings will survive, and it is a realm more terrifying than death.
However, in such a place, this dead place that can hardly accommodate any living beings, there is a tenacious group of creatures that are difficult to define, they have lost their bodies, and only the last of their consciousness remains in this void.
They call themselves Voidwalkers, and they are forever imprisoned in this prison known as the Void.
Before they were imprisoned here, they were all the supreme powerhouses of all races and fields, mages who reached the apex of the demon path, warriors who touched the limits of martial arts, alchemists who created all things, steadfast and noble missionaries, demons who ruled hell, lichs who controlled souls, and so on, they have left their names in the history of various planes.
Many people think that they have long since died, only those historical records prove that they once existed, but they don't know that this group of old monsters who are strong enough to be described as perverts are actually imprisoned in the endless void outside the plane, and have spent incalculable years there, and seem to be imprisoned here forever, the seemingly thin barrier between the real plane and the void is the wall of sighs that they can never break through, Rao is that the power they once had is so powerful, but there is nothing they can do about it.
But they never gave up hope of getting out of trouble, because among these 33 Void Walkers, there was an extremely special existence, that is, the Fifth Walker codenamed Hope.
Hope's original name is Bai Yi, not from the big and small planes of human existence outside the void, but from a strange place called Earth, he used to be an editor of a small news website during his lifetime, and his daily job is to extract news from other websites at home and abroad, and then replace it with a piece such as Shock! Titles such as men will shed tears and women will be silent are published on their own websites, a noisy and tedious job.
Later, Bai Yi, who died and died due to an accident, did not disappear immediately, but entered this mysterious void by mistake, met several other void walkers, and finally survived so strongly, until this moment.
The Voidwalkers insist that he from a different world will be the key to breaking out of this endless prison, "Only you are different, and you are our only chance to get out of here, and I firmly believe in this, so I call you by the code name Hope." "The First Walker of the Void, the one codenamed the Mage, once said this to him.
They have always believed in this, believing that they will one day see the light of day again, even if they have been imprisoned for countless hours, hundreds of years? Thousands of years? Or even tens of thousands of years? Nobody remembers...
If you want to stay in this eternal prison for thousands of years without going crazy, it is obviously not enough to just chat or discuss, in fact, the main means of spending time of the Voidwalkers is an activity called memory sharing.
This activity is based on an awareness technique called memory backtracking, which allows people to recall every detail they have experienced, even every punctuation point on the newspaper.
And then through a certain degree of editing, remove some memories that you don't want others to see, such as sleeping with a woman or sleeping with your left and right hands, and then exchange the memories with the other party, which is equivalent to enjoying a super long movie about someone else's life, which is a great way to kill time.
In this way, after reading all the memories of the Void Walkers, Bai Yi witnessed many things that happened in this fantasy world of swords and magic with the help of their eyes, and he witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties; Realized the supreme power and the supreme power; Explored the truth and secrets of the world; I have experienced countless life and death, joys and sorrows...
The memories of the thirty-three Void Walkers are equivalent to allowing him to experience thirty-three lives, even if he later forgot most of his memories in order to avoid memory confusion, and only retained their knowledge and experience, his state of mind was also in the experience of these thirty-three lives, sieving out all kinds of weaknesses such as naivety and impetuousness, and becoming mature and calm, no longer the ordinary person on the earth.
That's why he had high hopes from the other Voidwalkers, but after countless years, even he couldn't find any chance to escape, and the only thing he could do was to make this boring time a little less boring.
At the same time, at this time, the reality plane East is about to usher in the fall of night, and when the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles the entire Xiansai Academy, the students finally finished the day's heavy schoolwork, accompanied by young and energetic laughter, strolling in twos and twos on the tree-lined paths in the academy.
Miya, a second-year student of the Soul Armor Department, is also one of them, she has a cute and delicate face, her long black hair is combed into two equally cute double ponytails, and she is wearing the standard uniform of the Xiansai Academy, after saying a simple goodbye to her classmates, she came to the square of the academy alone, found a bench at random and sat down, and then took out some half of the bread left over from dinner from her jacket pocket, carefully tore the bread into a little crumbs, and then sprinkled it on the bluestone floor of the square.
A moment later, there was a sound of wings flapping in mid-air, and several white doves quickly landed at Miya's feet, while pecking at the bread crumbs she had spilled, while making a cooing sound, Miya squatted down carefully, and the long double ponytail also gently swept to the ground with her movements, she quietly looked at the group of pigeons that she was already familiar with, and a pleased smile appeared on her face.
The beautiful maiden, the docile white dove, the square with a few statues standing quietly, with the lush vegetation all around, under the last golden afterglow of the sunset, together form a beautiful picture.
This is what Miya does every day, and it is also the most relaxing time of her day, as a student with average qualifications, life in the institution of higher learning of Sensai Academy will always seem extraordinarily hard.
"It's getting dark, so that's all for today, I have to go back to practice, goodbye, Mr. Pigeon." With a relaxed smile on her face, Mia said goodbye to the pigeons, and then stepped out of her slender legs wrapped in white stockings under the short skirt of her uniform and hurried back to her dormitory.
Evenings are also a very important time to study, especially for a gifted student like Miya, who does not require as much effort as she seems to have a smile on her face forever.
