It's like a dream, not a dream

"Then you must know what I'm here for, right?"

Qu Guang transformed his smoke form into a human form, and stretched out his hand to hold Yu Siqi, who was about to lose his footing.

"Would you be angry if I told you that it was just your one-sided 'wishful thinking'? Or are you, like me, who don't know what emotions are? ”

At the same time, the black mist that floated out of the book quickly floated above their heads, said.

"Don't use your lack of knowledge to make judgments. At the end of the day, what you know about me is probably only at the very superficial level, and you don't get to the inside at all. ”

Qu Guang held out his hand, and a bright light shone through the gap behind them.

Subsequently, Yu Siqi discovered that the curved light, which was originally just the shape of smoke, had now grown human skin. And from the overall silhouette and appearance, it seems to have borrowed a person they are all familiar with.

In just the blink of an eye, a person who almost looked like Father An appeared in front of Yu Siqi.

Although Yu Siqi knew that it was not the priest in front of him, but Qu Guang. But he still showed a look of surprise, and subconsciously asked, "How did you do it?" ”

"I knew you were going to ask. It's actually very simple, as long as I focus on the light a little bit and make a little adjustment. As a human being, you're naturally going to synthesize images in your brain that I want you to see. It's kind of like what humans often call illusion, but I'm obviously a lot more 'advanced' than that. ”

While explaining, Qu Guang also picked up the book on the ground by the way.

is completely different from Yu Siqi, he doesn't seem to have any 'adverse reactions' because of books.

Seeing this, Yu Siqi complained and said, "Since you have an entity, why do you want me to act?" ”

"For I wasn't sure what the root of the curse that had been attached to me and then banished from me had gotten out of me. But now, I'm pretty sure I'm just thinking a little too much. ”

The light channeled the light to the black mist hovering above them, and the scorching light quickly dispersed it.

"That's the end of it?"

Yu Siqi asked in disbelief.

"If it's over, you'll feel it. Until then, it's been a warm-up at best. ”

As soon as Qu Guang finished speaking, the black mist that he had dispersed with light really condensed again. But this time, he simply threw down a cruel word, and then passed through the wall and disappeared.

"Do you think you'll be able to destroy me?"

Yu Siqi listened to this sentence and asked Qu Guang, "Don't you plan to pursue?" ”

"Do you think I'd love to let him go? But you have to know that he is still clinging to this memory, even in some deeper power. Until we get to the root of it, I don't think we'll be able to put an end to this matter once and for all after we catch up with him. ”

When Qu Guang said the word 'root', he also tried to open the thing that seemed to be the Book of Divine Damnation in his hand, wanting to read the contents of it. As a result, Yu Siqi noticed that he couldn't open the book at all.

"Why don't I come?"

Before Yu Siqi walked up, he planned to open the book for Qu Guang, but before he could reach for his hand, he let the latter stop him.

"Don't force yourself. It's just a book, and even if we don't open it, it won't affect our subsequent progress. ”

Qu Guang casually threw the book back on the previous shelf, and then left the place with Yu Siqi.

When they came out of the gap and came to the 'open area' that had been, Yu Siqi found that Father An's side seemed to have fought with Ling Xi. The battle between the two sides was very close and fierce, which made Yu Siqi a little regretful that he seemed to have missed something.

But when he thought about it, wasn't what he had just encountered in the cave a 'different' experience?

In this way, it was an instant relief.

"Do you have any good suggestions for what we are going to do next?"

In order not to let his attention be attracted by the fight over there, Yu Siqi directly asked Qu Guang a question.

"At the moment I have two good proposals, both of which are for you personally.

One is that you stay here and enjoy the 'highlights' that are left of this memory. If you could even see the priest's handsome appearance, you might even be able to see that priest.

As for the other one, it is a rather boring being like me, who continues to wander the area without a clue to find the source of the curse. As we've been trying to before, this will undoubtedly make the whole process seem 'boring'. ”

Qu Guang seemed to see through Yu Siqi's careful thoughts, and explained everything to him clearly.

It is true that Yu Siqi really likes the first suggestion given by Qu Guang. You don't have to walk around, and you can pay attention to the priest's side by the way.

Why not?

However, Yu Siqi knows better that the second option is what he should choose. Otherwise, why would Qu Guang put it out?

"Let's move on. Solve it sooner, and go back sooner. Otherwise, if it drags on for too long, I'm afraid it will make Ah Zhen and them worry a little longer. ”

Yu Siqi said these words, not just to seek some excuse for himself. In fact, it also has a self-comforting effect.

"Since you've said so, well." Grave

Qu Guang nodded and walked in the exact opposite direction to the battlefield.

This journey is actually a bit of a sign of going back, but Yu Siqi doesn't care.

Because since he has made a choice, he will naturally not regret it.

Besides, although Qu Guang didn't immediately express any gratitude to him. But Yu Siqi can still perceive the relationship between them from some details, and it seems that it has unconsciously improved a lot.

For example, when encountering some sections of the road that are not easy to walk, Qu Guang will unexpectedly remind Yu Siqi to 'be careful of your step'.

This has never happened before.

With that, the two of them returned to the altar they had once passed, and also passed through a short area of potholes to an area that was barely exposed to light.

"Did I forget to tell you that there is skill in finding the source of the curse?"

Qu Guang paused his figure before officially stepping into the pitch-black area, turned his head to look at Yu Siqi, and said.

"Seems to be the case."

Yu Siqi nodded slightly.

"Then since I just remember, I'll tell you by the way. If you encounter a similar situation in the future, it may help you. Qu Guang stretched out his finger, held it up to Yu Siqi, and said, "First of all, you have to remember that all curses must be extended from distorted emotions. They come from darkness, but they also look forward to light. However, how many people can realize that longing is the farthest distance from understanding? It is this vision, which can never be realized, that prompts them to be further distorted. The curse that eventually came to be formed, driven purely by hatred and resentment. ”

"So, a big part of the reason you're here is because you don't find the light here, right?"

Yu Siqi tried to decipher Qu Guang's meaning, and the latter showed a look of satisfaction.

"yes, it didn't surprise me that guy would flee here. To put it bluntly, he's still betting that I won't go into the darkness on my own. But how did he know that I had been born out of darkness? Qu Guang casually gave Yu Siqi a small ball of light and said, "You can use it to illuminate later." I don't dare give you a bigger one, lest the guy will realize our presence and run away again. ”

"You were born from the darkness?"

After Yu Siqi took the small ball of light that was a little warm in the palm of his hand, he asked unexpectedly in surprise.

"Pretty surprising, right? I'll leave the specific things to tell you next time I have time, are you ready? It's time for us to go in and find out the 'poisonous snake' that lurks in the dark. ”

As soon as Qu Guang finished speaking, he immediately plunged into this dark forest.

Yu Siqi followed, and found that it was so quiet that almost no sound could be heard. In addition to being able to barely see the outline of Qu Guang clearly, he could only see the small ball of light held in his palm.

However, suddenly, Qu Guang stopped his steps, and the small ball of light in Yu Siqi's palm also disappeared.

Then, for a moment. Even Yu Siqi's own heartbeat seemed to come to an abrupt halt with the sudden silence.

Subsequently, Yu Siqi saw several flashes of light in a row in the place where he couldn't see his fingers.

It's like lightning piercing the dark night sky, giving you a faint sense that something terrible is coming.

It's a pity that everything is just Yu Siqi's personal imagination.

When he was able to see his surroundings clearly, Yu Siqi realized that he was in the depths of the overgrown forest, and there was no trace of Qu Guang around him.

But above his head, there was an unconsciously bright moon.

And just when his heart was full of incomprehension and confusion, Yu Siqi unexpectedly found that the distance between himself and the bright moon seemed to be constantly narrowing.

In the end, he confirmed that he was indeed pulled by an inexplicable force.

In the face of this completely irresistible traction, Yu Siqi, who has always liked to go with the flow, decided to wait and see where he would be taken for the time being.

Who knew that when his whole person collided with the 'moon', Yu Siqi felt as if he had passed through some kind of unknown curtain, and his brain was also blank.

When he came back to his senses, Yu Siqi saw that he was lying in front of Father An's desk, as if he had fallen asleep.

Looking up, everything was so familiar, everything was so real.

In order to make sure that he didn't seem to be in any mental disorder, Yu Siqi even pinched his inner thighs hard.

In addition to the pain visible to the naked eye, there were only tears that faintly wanted to overflow from the eye sockets.

It really hurts! ’

Yu Siqi sighed while wiping his tears with his cuffs.

'Is it over?' ’

Yu Siqi, who wiped away his tears, subconsciously glanced at the mirror on the wall, and there was no superfluous picture in it, only his own face full of confusion.

'You can't really just be dreaming, are you?' ’

Yu Siqi didn't think so, but then he was attracted by the pile of black ashes scattered under the table.

If he was right, the black ashes did look like the pages of a book that had just been burned!
