As soon as Sulu stepped into this room, there was a muffled bang, and the door behind him closed automatically.

In an instant, he was the only one left in the entire empty room.

“…………”

Sulu frowned, then looked at the lantern.

The thing was in the center of the room, hanging from a black iron hook.

It's just that the floor of this room makes Sulu feel a little weird.

How to say that?

Now the ground under his feet, every corner was carved with a large number of complex patterns, like a huge magic array.

However, he didn't feel any energy fluctuations on it, and the veins seemed to be purely for decoration.

"Whew, ignite it, can you complete the rank promotion?"

Sulu exhaled deeply and walked slowly towards the extinguished lantern.

Click...... The sound of his footsteps echoed through the room.

Soon, Sulu was in front of the lantern.

Set it on fire?

This matter is very simple, he only needs to release the flame inside the Red Dragon Queen Ring, and he can instantly light up this lantern.

"Flame ......"

Sulu slowly raised his arm, pointed it at the lantern in front of him, and whispered.

With the sound of his voice, a gentle flame appeared out of thin air, swimming towards the lantern like a small spirit snake.

But......

The moment the flame was about to burrow into the lantern, it went out silently, without any warning.

"What's going on?"

Sulu looked at the scene in front of him suspiciously, and muttered in a low voice.

As the flames burrowed into the lantern, he felt like he had lost control of the flames, as if he was being cut off by something.

“…………”

Sulu groaned, and once again drove the flames towards the lantern.

With a snort, the scorching flames resurfaced, quickly forming a fist-sized fireball, smashing towards the lantern with a ferocious momentum.

This time, he deliberately increased the intensity of the flames, just not wanting the flames to go out so quickly.

However, the result was a little disappointing for Sulu.

Because the flame was extinguished again the moment it entered the lantern, the result did not change in the slightest due to the intensity.

"Since an ordinary flame can't be ignited...... Is there a need for a special approach? ”

Sulu looked at the lantern in front of him, and his mind couldn't help but fall into thought.

If you need a special way to light the lantern, Mona will probably give you some hints.

Could it be that the hint is hidden in this room?

Looking around, I couldn't find anything that could be considered a hint.

Or is it ...... Hidden in it?

Thinking of this, Sulu couldn't help but subconsciously reach out and touch the lantern that looked a little dilapidated, hoping to find some corresponding hints.

The moment he touched the lantern, there was a soft buzz, and a faint light suddenly lit up.

You can clearly see that a trace of fire has been lit in the dilapidated lantern.

It's not bright, but it gives a comforting warmth, like a fire on a cold night.

"This ......"

Sulu looked at the leaping flame and was speechless in surprise.

In any case, I didn't expect that the lantern, which couldn't be lit no matter what, would now light up inexplicably.

As time passed, the light emitted by the lantern became brighter and brighter.

"Ah...... Lala...... Hoo! ”

Faintly, Sulu also heard a soft singing voice in his ears.

Even Sulu himself didn't realize that he was already immersed in the song, and the light in his pupils gradually became hazy.

At the same time, an illusory figure emerged beside him.

If Sulu was still awake, he would have noticed that this illusory figure was so similar to him, especially the face, which was almost carved out of a mold.

It's just that that face is much more mature than him, and it has a sense of vicissitudes of time.

The figure looked at Sulu's appearance, sighed helplessly, and then stretched out two fingers and pointed to his forehead.

There was a soft buzz, and a faint black light appeared on his fingers, and then poured into Sulu's mind.

However, when the figure had done all this, it immediately turned into a glimmer of light and returned to the lantern that emitted a faint light.

And so, the room regained its eerie tranquility.

As for Sulu, he stood there godless like a puppet, shrouded in the faint light of the lantern.

…………

The minutes ticked by, and Sulu's figure still stood there.

"Hoo ......"

Suddenly, Sulu exclaimed in surprise and subconsciously took a step back.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he always felt as if he had just woken up from a nightmare, which made people feel inexplicably panicked.

“…………”

Sulu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly looked towards the door behind him.

Now that the lantern has been lit, the promotion of the rank should have been completed, right?

But......

The first thing that catches your eye is not a familiar room, but a large, eerie garden.

"What is this place?"

Sulu looked at the scenery around him suspiciously, and muttered in a low voice.

The blood moon hanging in the sky, the flowers everywhere at the feet, the seeping skeletons, and the countless tombstones erected in the corners of the garden, this scene is simply so weird, how weird.

Wait a minute......

Suddenly, Sulu looked at the burning house outside the bar, and a sense of familiarity surged in his heart.

It's like I've seen this scene before.

Could it be that he has entered a mysterious fantasy again?

Just as Sulu was confused, there was a sound of footsteps outside the garden.

Do you want to hide?

Although Sulu also wanted to hide, there were no extra obstacles in this garden, so he could only stand in place helplessly.

In a few moments, the owner of the footsteps stepped into the garden.

It could be clearly seen that it was a figure dressed in black hunter's clothes, holding a silver-plated shotgun, and carrying a giant sword.

The hunter ignored Suru's presence and walked straight to a giant tree at the end of the garden.

"Huh? There was a man sitting there......"

Sulu looked in that direction, and dimly seemed to see an old man sitting in a wheelchair, his head bowed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Well done, hunter, you're doing well, the night is coming to an end."

The old man seemed to sense the hunter's arrival and whispered, "Now...... I will be gracious to you, and you will die, forget that dream, and wake up in the morning sun...... You will be liberated from the erosion of this hunter's nightmare. ”

Hearing this, Sulu couldn't help but be shocked.

Now he finally remembered what this place was!

………………
