Almost got into the pit

Following the overgrown path, Yu Siqi and Albert followed the woman known as the embodiment of 'desire' to a mossy low wall.

There, they saw a metal shelf directly above the low wall.

On the shelves, a curtain is hung that almost blends in with the surroundings.

It can be said that if it hadn't happened to be swinging in the wind, Yu Siqi would definitely not have noticed it so easily.

"The Veil of Night, it is rumored that only through it can you enter the Lightless Realm."

Albert looked at the curtain and explained to Siqi.

"If given a choice, who wouldn't want to stand in the light?" After complaining about this, the incarnation of 'desire' immediately said to them with a smirk: "The slave family has accidentally lost some shape, and I hope you two masters don't mind too much." ”

"I won't mind if you talk well."

Albert made a proper remark, and then jumped lightly onto the wall.

"Hehe, you're really good at laughing..."

After dropping these words, the body of the incarnation of 'desire' turned into a faint black smoke, drifted towards the curtain, and then disappeared directly.

At the same time, Zao'er, who was standing next to Yu Siqi, muttered, "Master, why did you leave Zao'er alone." Then it turned into a faint black smoke and disappeared in the same way.

In the end, these two 'guides', who were supposed to lead the way, said goodbye one after another, allowing Yu Siqi and Albert to meet each other.

Fortunately, Albert was prepared for this, he stretched out his hand and dragged Siqi against the wall, and then said to him: "Just go through the curtain later, you can do it, right?" ”

"Aren't there any other hard and fast requirements?"

Yu Siqi glanced at the other side of the curtain and found that the place was completely suspended. In other words, if you really don't successfully reach the 'Lightless Realm', then falling from a platform more than two meters high will definitely be a nail.

"Looks like there's one."

Albert scratched his chin with his fingers.

"What?"

Yu Siqi asked eagerly.

"Please give me a little more trust."

As soon as Albert finished speaking, he took the lead in facing the curtain. When his body came into contact with the transparent curtain, something very magical happened.

His entire body began to slowly turn into a puff of green smoke, and then floated in, vanishing.

Faced with this situation, Yu Siqi was a little curious and a little excited in his heart.

He strode over, ready to reach for his hand.

But at the moment when his fingertips were about to touch the curtain, his gaze once again touched the clearing in front of him.

Although this height was not enough for him to feel any fear, hesitation still welled up in his heart at this moment.

It can only be said that fortunately, Siqi's will is relatively firm, and while abandoning many distracting thoughts, he also happens to remember what Albert just told him.

With this so-called 'trust', Yu Siqi opened the curtain.

At this time, in his eyes, a very special big pit appeared.

If you look at it with the naked eye, you will find that it is almost completely out of touch with its surroundings.

It's even like a graffiti that has been artificially painted.

But cognitively, it makes people feel as if it has been there all along.

Especially when Yu Siqi was close to the edge, he seemed to faintly hear some kind of incomparably kind call from inside this big pit.

His body moved involuntarily, and the thought of jumping into his heart had spread throughout his body.

But then, at the moment when his mind was in a trance, he felt himself being embraced by a pair of arms.

While feeling the special softness transmitted from his back, he listened to the other person say to him in a soft voice, "I don't think it's a good idea to jump into this hole in the flesh." Not to mention that you are still a guest appointed by the king to summon you. ”

When he came back to his senses, he found that his feet had already stepped out unconsciously, and his whole body was suspended.

"I just... It's drawing me in..."

Yu Siqi pointed to the big pit in front of him incoherently and said.

"It usually only appeals to two kinds of people. One is the 'dying man', and the other is the one who is dark-hearted. Judging by your complexion, it is clear that you do not belong to the former. Then there is only one possibility. ”

The person who spoke put Yu Siqi on the ground.

At this time, Yu Siqi noticed that the woman in front of him was not the two he had seen before. And the environment he is currently in doesn't seem to be quite like the environment that should exist on the surface.

It was dark all around, and even the sky was gray as if it had been covered with a thin veil.

"Forgive me for not agreeing with you. Anyway, thank you. By the way, can you tell me how I got here? ”

Yu Siqi denied the other party's explanation and raised his own questions accordingly.

"About two minutes ago, I suddenly wanted to be here and 'quiet'. Then I happened to see a big living man falling from the sky. I was about to fall into that bottomless pit, so I reached out and caught you out of kindness.

It happened that it was at that time that I received a notice from the king. It is said that there was a distinguished guest who had some 'accidents' when he was walking through the curtain of night. ”

The woman in front of her was no different from the normal people Yu Siqi had seen in terms of conversation and way of speaking.

This undoubtedly added a lot of goodwill to Yu Siqi.

Of course, it still can't be denied that people have a pretty good face.

After all, if it was an existence like a yellow-faced woman, then Yu Siqi would definitely not be as relaxed as he is now.

"Then I wonder if you would like to take me to the king?"

Yu Siqi made a request.

"I... Unwilling. ”

After glancing at Yu Siqi, she said something completely opposite to the latter's inner expectation.

"What?"

Yu Siqi originally thought that this should be something that could be easily helped. Now it seems that I am taking it for granted.

"I've pulled myself out of this pointless strife, and I don't want to get involved again because of you or for any other reason. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you'll have to go to the king yourself. ”

After giving a completely confusing reason, she turned away. Only Yu Siqi, who looked confused, stood near the big pit, staring at the beautiful back of the other party that disappeared into the shadows.

Not long after she left, Yu Siqi, who had recovered from the 'beauty', couldn't help but complain: "Even if you don't want to lead the way, show me the way." Now, how can I be sure where your king is? ”
