At the same time.

Capital.

People's Square.

A cute girl with pigtails is sitting on a bench eating ice cream.

"Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, why are you running around again!"

A beautiful woman with a good figure hurriedly came.

Xiao Xi raised her head, and a wisp of white liquid flowed from the corner of her mouth.

That's the juice after the ice cream has melted.

"Hello, Mama."

"What are you talking about?" The young beauty rubbed Xiaoxi's head dotingly.

"Before Ma Ma taught Xiaoxi, be polite to 'people'!"

Xiao Xi licked the ice cream, revealing an expression of praising me and praising me.

"Yes, yes, my Xiaoxi is the most polite!"

Suddenly.

Right now.

Syllable.

Xiao Xi's small body trembled slightly, and the ice cream that she had not finished licking in her hand fell to the ground and fell into a paste.

She suddenly stood up, raised her head, looked in a certain direction, and stared deeply.

At the moment when Xiao Xi stood up, the movements of the beautiful young woman suddenly froze in place, her eyes were empty, and she lost all her brilliance, like a puppet without a soul.

Brilliant streamers jumped and passed in Xiaoxi's innocent and flawless eyes.

"How so?"

"Someone inadvertently touched the 'anchor'."

Xiaoxi shook his head: "But now, it's not the time yet." ”

"It's too early."

"It's too early."

"It's too early."

After speaking.

Xiao Xi raised his small palm high and slapped it hard in the air in front of him.

Smack-

In front of the obviously empty people, Xiao Xi slapped it with a palm, and the scenery near the palm was slightly distorted, and several strange textures appeared out of thin air.

After slapping this palm into the air, Xiao Xi lowered his head and muttered to himself.

"Shouldn't I be in violation of the rules? As long as no one finds out, it's not a violation! Well, it doesn't count! ”

The beautiful young woman's eyes reappeared.

She looked down and noticed that Nozomi's ice cream had accidentally dropped on the ground.

"You kid, why are you so careless."

"Mama, I still want it!"

"It's not good for children to eat too much! At that time, Xiao Xi will have diarrhea! ”

"I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care!"

"Okay, okay, Ma Ma will buy it for you."

……

……

Irin looked at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery in front of him.

In the distance, the roar of a giant beast could be faintly heard.

Strange shadows lurk on the ground.

Over here.

It's the last days.

It was the end times that he "remembered".

"Soul Fade, if you could survive in the end, what would you most like to do?"

Beside him, a familiar voice sounded.

Irin looked at the person beside him with an indifferent expression.

Molly was wrapped in a heavy padded jacket, her nose was red from the cold, and she was shivering.

"Married? Have a baby? ”

Irin subconsciously said the lines in his memory.

"That's it?" Molly pursed her lips, her expression disdainful and full of disdain: "Hello, you didn't pursue it." ”

Yi Rin's face was expressionless, and he continued: "Sunrise and sunset, 9 to 5, receiving a salary, fooling the leader, hurting his wife, earning milk powder money, and thinking about the child going to kindergarten, attending training classes, buying a school district house, and thinking about the child when he grows up......"

"Stop, stop!" Molly waved her hand: "Don't you feel annoyed?" ”

"Annoying, how not annoying. But it's still much better than it is now. ”

"Why don't you think about yourself? Just thinking about children? ”

"For example?"

"For example...... Where to go for the wedding? ”

"Antarctica, clean."

Molly showed a look that you had something wrong with her, and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten that the Antarctic continent has been bombed, and you can't stay there for a long time." ”

"Then ...... When the dust settles, make another one. ”

"Who do you want to talk to?"

"With whom did you build Antarctica?"

"You know I'm talking about marriage."

"I haven't thought about this yet...... What are you pinching me for? ”

"Soul light."

Molly lowered her head, not wanting Irin to see her expression.

Familiar memories, familiar lines, familiar scenes, but different people.

Irin felt like a walking corpse when he uttered those lines.

This is a fantasy.

But he knew that this was an illusion, and everything in front of him was not real.

But Yi Rin still couldn't help it, he clenched his fists hard and asked, "Ling Yiyi, where is it?" ”

Molly looked back up.

The expression was dazed.

"Ling Yiyi, who is it?"

Scold.

The moment Molly said that, the scene in front of her suddenly cracked.

Whoa—

It was like glass shattered to the ground.

When Irin's back to his senses, he was in a dilapidated tent again.

Outside the tent, the flames soared into the sky, reflecting shadows and falling on the tent.

More than a dozen people, including Irin, were huddled in a small tent.

Irin looked up and swept over the dozen or so dirty faces.

For some reason, he couldn't see the faces of those people clearly.

But he should have known.

They are......

Irin suddenly felt a pain in her brain.

At this moment, a tall man in armor with a sad expression walked to the center of the tent and spread out a map.

"The Knight of Conquest came across the sea with his 'Ten Men', and according to eyewitness information, the Death Knight and the 'Eight Shadows' under him will also pass through this route."

"If they meet together, there will be a fight, and this may be our chance to fish in troubled waters."

"At the very least, to weaken the strength of their men, we must not let our 'territory' be reduced again."

"But this operation is very risky, our opponents are two 'Apocalypse Knights', which can be called nine deaths."

The armored man raised his head, and his eyes showed a determined look: "This may be our only chance for humans to defeat the 'natural disaster', I will definitely go, you ......"

"Heh, if the world is over, no one can survive and steal it, and it doesn't make much difference whether they go or not."

"It's a pity that the Moren enemy died. If he's still around, we'll do everything we can to get him an 'invitation'......"

"Shh......h

In the tent, everyone closed their mouths at the same time, suppressing the feelings of despair and spreading silently.

Irin felt cold.

Side.

Someone squeezed his hand hard.

That hand was just as cold.

There is not the slightest temperature.

Little by little, slowly, Irin turned his head hard.

The person next to me is Molly.

Irin, who had not spoken, took a deep breath.

"Where is Ling Yiyi?"

A short sentence, as if it had exhausted the strength of Irin's whole body.

When he finished speaking.

In the tent, everyone turned their heads blankly and looked at Irin.

Scold.

In front of Irin, the scene changed again.

The scenes that had been impressed in his memory quickly emerged like a marquee.

Like an outsider, Irin, standing in the midst of the flames of war, standing among countless monsters, dazed and helpless to witness all this again.

That battle.

The Knight of the Apocalypse who rode his mount and changed color in every gesture.

Marquee jumps quickly.

That day.

It was raining in the sky.

The rain fell on Irin, and white smoke was emitting.

This is "acid rain".

When Irin looked down, his hands were covered in wet dirt, and there was blood between his fingers.

"This is ......"

Irin looked up.

I happened to see a small mound that he had built with his own hands under his hands.

There is a tombstone standing on it.

The tombstone was empty, and there was no time to inscribe it.

But Irin's name knew what to engrave on it.

Irin looked around.

Originally, in his memory, under this oppressive acid rain, Ling Yiyi accompanied him by his side.

Can it be ...... here No.

There is only this rain, this eternal night that will never usher in the dawn, this cold mound, and Molly who has lost its temperature in the mound.

"It's the world...... That's wrong. ”

Irin lowered his head, letting the acid rain wash over the dirt and blood on his hands.

Smack-

Abruptly.

As Irin's savoring the realistic illusion, he felt the back of his head buzz and the scenery in front of him vibrated violently.

It was like someone jumping up and slapping him the back of the head, slapping him to death.

Irin felt a pain in her head.

It's like the whole person is cracked.

At this moment, the scenery in front of me twisted, swirled, and quickly faded.

When Irin reopened his eyes, he was back in the cave where the bust had been hewn open.

In front of Irin's eyes, the layers of light that had plunged Irin into illusion had vanished.

It took Irin less than a second to quickly check his surroundings.

On the high platform, the mysterious person who glowed strangely had disappeared.

As if it had never been there.

Irin looked down.

I saw that everyone in the square unexpectedly took out a dagger with a strange shape.

Whether it was the Dawning Cult or the missing persons who had been abducted from all over the world, all the people kneeling on the ground were chanting words in their mouths, clenching the strangely shaped dagger with both hands, holding it high and raising it above their heads, with a crazy and reverent expression.

The scene of hundreds of people kneeling on the ground, holding daggers high in both hands, is frozen here.

In an instant, this strange picture reminded Yi Rin of a word.

- "Ritual".

That's right, this group of people, it's like they're performing some kind of ancient and mysterious ritual.

The mysterious man, after releasing the circle of light on the high platform, combined with the "incense" burning around him, deduced this mysterious ritual to a climax.

Irin was surprised.

"What the hell are they trying to do?"

Faced with this mysterious and vast ritual, when Irin had just conceived this idea, the answer appeared in front of his eyes.

I saw that all the people who held up the ceremonial dagger, the posture of holding the dagger with both hands only lasted for a second, and then reversed the dagger at the same time and stabbed it hard into his heart!

Laugh at!

Hundreds of people, hundreds of knives, and hundreds of hands stabbing their hearts converged into one voice.

Irin didn't stop it, and it wasn't possible to stop it.

They have gone insane, and no matter who comes, it is impossible to stop them.

Unless, Irin can kill everyone here in an instant.

But then it makes no difference to them the outcome.

Irin held his breath, and he chose to wait and see.

Since he couldn't change the ending, since he couldn't save anyone, he really wanted to witness the ending of this ceremony.

A large amount of blood, gushing out of everyone's chest.

They were so cruel with this knife that they actually cut open the heart, allowing the blood to spurt out as much as possible.

The strong smell of blood spread in the narrow space, and it actually covered up the aroma of burning in the fire.

In the blink of an eye.

Everyone's blood seeped into the ground.

There was a faint blue light on the ground.

Only then did Irin discover that on the soles of those people's feet, there was a huge formation pattern.

Because of the dim lighting and the large number of people, they knelt directly on the array, and before the texture glowed blue, Irin didn't notice the existence of this strange "array".

Blue light is getting more and more prevalent.

Streams of blue light, which seemed to be filled with esoteric information or data, rose from all over the ground and then converged above everyone's heads.

Irin looked up as the streamers converged.

At this glance, Irin looked stunned.

The scene in front of him actually made Irin feel a little familiar.

The streamers that converged over the hall tore a gap in the space.

Streamer cubes emerge from the cracks.

"Mia-"

Suddenly.

An eerie, poignant voice surged through the rift.

In an instant, Irin's ears buzzed with the strange cry, and her eyes were full of stars.

Subconsciously touched his ears, and his ears were shocked by the sound of blood.

"It's ...... Summon! ”
