Chapter 31: Cruel Memory

"Elise. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" I tapped my backpack and called.

"What are you doing...... We're just getting ready for bed. A ghost girl came out and looked at me plaintively.

"How many days have we been in Manyo Country?" I asked.

"Ah, I want to think about it...... We spent a day on the road and then ...... Well, it's the third day we've been in Manyo Country. The girl pinched her fingers and confirmed.

"We've been walking in this forest for three days?" I suddenly felt a little hopeless.

"yes...... No, wait. Elise looked ahead, and her face changed suddenly.

She was floating in mid-air, so she had a wider field of vision than I was, so I didn't know what she was seeing that shocked her.

Elise tried to drag me forward, but found that she couldn't pull me, and seemed a little lost.

"Anyway, run over and see!" She shook her hands anxiously.

I couldn't help it, so I ran forward quickly, wanting to see the world as she saw it.

"This scene ......," I held my breath.

The memories in my head flashed like a movie.

Elise had just been "buried" in the cavern at the time, and I was still looking for a way to get to Gear City.

The lush and never-ending forest suddenly appeared here, and before this fault, it was a dense jungle, and after that, it began to become a decaying and twisted magical maze.

And behind these broken and sparse trees, there is a never-ending desolation.

That's exactly what I've seen on the outskirts of Jianliang before.

The corpses were strewn across the field, the bones were scattered, the fragments were all covered, and the gray-brown soil was surrounded by a long stretch of gray-brown soil, which looked lifeless, like a cemetery.

It's just that the scale of this cemetery is much larger than the last one, and it is boundless, and it is impossible to see through it at a glance.

"That's ......," Elise was in a depressed mood.

Reading the memories of the black fog in my head, yes, this scene feels familiar.

I felt as if the wilderness was lush and vibrant, with animals and elves frolicking and flying in the forest, beginners in magic practicing aiming at an old tree, and his childhood sweetheart laughing as they watched him, and the two of them scuffled in the woods and kissed again......

Enough, enough!

But the memory didn't stop, and in the familiar places, its dominance forced the memory into my mind like a tidal wave.

Yes, and then the black fog came, no sneak attack, no cowering, it, no, it should be me, just whistling through the dense forest one after another.

But everywhere I passed, the trees withered, and the meadows turned into wasteland. The living creatures have become my slaves.

In less than ten minutes, this once green place of life has become a hell on earth.

And my journey doesn't stop there.

Memories come flooding in and then receding like a tide.

I was left breathing in place, like a fish starved of water.

It's not easy to experience the memories of the black fog from a first-person perspective, and I breathe in pain, still unable to shake off the feeling of despair.

"Long night, long night!"

"Long Night!!

Elise's screams woke me from my despair.

"What? What happened? I pulled out my throwing knife and looked at Elise.

Mechanic skills often require cast time, and it's hard to react to critical situations, so I have to rely on the Ranger's instincts.

She pointed in one direction, and I followed it.

A lonely, rotting corpse was walking towards me, staggering.

It turned out to be an 'old friend', and I took out the cube and was about to start to transform.

"Wait." Elise stopped me suddenly.

"It doesn't seem to be aggressive, it's just coming towards you." She pointed to the carrion.

"That's weird, I'll take a look." Putting the block away, I slowly walked towards it.

The throwing knife was clenched in his hand in case it struck suddenly.

Although I'm now level 23, and its small body can't hurt me anything, it's better to be careful.

Step by step, step by step, we gradually met.

But it seemed to be deliberately slowing down, eventually stopping two paces away from me.

Just as I was wondering, something unexpected happened.

Its soft body bent slightly, and it knelt in front of me.

Its head was tilted back at me, a deep glow emanating from its hollow eye sockets.

It looked at me, as if praying for something.

"What's going on?" I was a little confused for a moment, and asked Elise.

"It's the first time I've seen this." Elise shook her head.

I didn't understand what was going on, but I always felt ...... There's something surging inside me trying to take in this rotten soul.

Subconsciously, I stretched out my left hand to it.

The carrion let out a cry of joy. I think if his tear ducts hadn't been corrupted, he would have burst into tears.

As if it wanted to be with me, something really began to ooze from its eyes.

It was a black mist that had turned into a solid body, a flowing plague.

Then the next second, the plague came at me like an arrow.

"Long night!" Elise screamed.

……

The rotting corpse turned into a puddle of black water, sank to the ground and vanished.

The plague flew into the palm of my hand, and was absorbed by me.

I guess the source of the black mist inside me is summoning it.

Elise on the side was also shocked and confused, not knowing what kind of expression to put on.

At this point, I think it's just a matter of smiling. There's no way I'm going to say that.

I looked at my palm, "Ever since I killed Xie Yan, the source of the black mist that was originally fused with him has been transferred to my body. ”

"I can't explain what the hell is going on." I clenched my left hand, "I feel like I have some of the power of the Black Mist, and I can even share its memories and see what it has seen." ”

"Still, I can assure you that it won't hurt me." I looked at Elise.

"I also saw some of the events of that day, so I chose to believe what you said." Elise spread her hands, "And you're my master now...... I can't do anything about it. ”

"Alright, since you've just absorbed the carrion, let's read its memories and see what we do next." Elise proposed.

It didn't make sense, and I began to read about the plague that I had just absorbed.

A teenager who plays with his childhood sweetheart and grows up...... Ah, he's the mage who practiced under the tree in Black Mist's memory.

That's how I watched his short life.

"Let's just go all the way." After sorting out my mood, I said lightly to Elise.

Look ahead and embark on the journey again. I felt like I was suddenly carrying a heavy burden on my back when I set off.

The sky was cloudless, and it suddenly began to rain.
