Chapter 10: The Land of the Dead

Just as Ivan was in a trance, looking into the distance, and had not completely withdrawn from the vigilance just now, Yao Qiao suddenly asked.

"Do you think these fish are pretty?"

"I think it's beautiful."

Ivan's answer didn't give much thought, didn't hesitate too much. These words came naturally, as if they were straightforward.

These fish do look very beautiful, not only beautiful, but also very rare, these fish are more like fish in paradise.

Ivan had seen no fish of any species except for the few koi fish in the pond in the palace.

And in Taki City, what Ivan saw was just some fish that appeared on the table every day and were used for eating.

In this kind of natural science thing, Ivan actually doesn't know much about it, so he doesn't know how many kinds of fish there are in this world.

But it doesn't matter if you don't know, as long as you see more things, if you don't understand, just ask, someone will always know, and you will always know.

Ivan was in the moat of Taki City, in the streets of other cities, and even in the gardens of some large families.

Compared with ordinary people, the types of fish that Ivan saw were actually quite a lot, and many of them he could name when he saw them.

It's just that now in front of Ivan's eyes, he saw these fish, which Ivan had never seen in his life.

The scales of these fish are very white, and they are even so transparent that they cannot be seen unless you look closely.

The fish are swimming in the pond, and the already clear pond, these fish with white scales are not so obvious.

It was only because they were swimming, and the surface of the pond was rippling, that Ivan noticed the fish.

Some of the fish are in groups of threes and twos, some are playing alone, some are on lotus leaves, some are next to lotus flowers, and some are on the edge of the soil.

They swayed from side to side, like spirits in a pond, bringing some life to the otherwise calm pond.

These fish are so special, not because they look strange, but because they have a kind of attraction in their own right.

It turned out that what made Ivan unable to take his eyes off it was not the pond itself, but the fish in the pond, their own magic.

For the first time, Ivan felt the urge to touch them, even if only slightly

In this way, Ivan wanted to reach out to him, and even Ivan felt that the reason why Yao Qiao couldn't take his eyes off was because of these fish.

"Don't you want to touch them?"

"Yes."

"Then why do you have to withdraw your hand again? I had already stretched out my hand before I saw you. ”

"Yes, I wanted to touch them, but I don't think it's necessary."

Ivan was very calm, and the questions asked by Yao Qiao, Ivan had already answered the relevant questions just a second ago.

Now it's just a matter of answering again, telling Yao Qiao what he thinks again, and Ivan seems to be extremely calm.

Yao Qiao saw that Ivan was speaking clearly, and there was no hesitation at all, and his reaction Yao Qiao felt a little abnormal.

You must know that there are countless people who have been here before, and all kinds of people have appeared here.

There are men, women, adults, old people, children, teachers, warriors, all kinds of people

Some have a very short temper, some have a very calm personality, some have a very chic life, and some have a very depressed mentality.

It can be that the people who have faced this pond are the people that many people have seen in their lifetimes.

It can be regarded as having read the vast majority of people in the world, after all, the existence of this pond is a long time ago.

It's just that not many people can find this pond, and even if its location is not difficult to find, it is so simple.

Neither the people who come to visit nor the people who live in the area want to come and see the pond.

Except for those who are physically inconvenient and physiologically inconvenient, it is possible to walk inside and walk in for convenience.

But those people didn't come for the pond, they just stopped by to solve their own problems.

But everyone who walks into the mountain pass will be attracted to this pond for various reasons.

It's not so much the attraction as the fish in the pond that bewitches their hearts and makes them unable to walk away.

I could only take one step at a time, with the idea of touching these fish in my heart, and go straight forward, without stopping.

Whether you can touch it or not, at least you will want to touch it, after all, you will only know if you can do it if you have tried it.

So those people reached out and approached the pond, just with the simple idea of touching these transparent scaly fish.

In the end, I couldn't control my steps, I didn't look at the road under my feet at all, I was immersed in my own fantasies, and finally fell into the pond.

But even when they fell into the pond, they didn't seem to realize that they had fallen overboard and were still moving forward.

They still want to touch the fish, the fish they've never seen before, and get carried away until they get to the center of the pond.

But this pond is not something they want to come and go, because they are obsessed with the mystery and hidden value of this fish.

People tend to keep walking without stopping, but even if they enter the pond, they can't touch their scales.

And when the whole person entered the water, some even stepped into the dirt, and some legs were entangled in aquatic plants.

These are the things that have happened before, and those people have not been able to touch the fish because they have not been able to touch them.

When I woke up from the dream, I realized that I couldn't breathe.

Only then did they realize that they had already walked into the pond, but those people had already walked into the pond.

Whether it was because they had gone too far or because they had sunk too deep, they could have been suspended in Shui Zheng when they found it

It was too late, and these people were no longer able to struggle, or even move, and could only suffocate to death in this pond.

But even if he died, even if the pond was so clear, no one would be able to find out that someone had drowned in the pond.

Because as long as someone dares to go in and find these missing people, they will become one of these people because of the same process.

And it is also for this reason that the people who walk into this mountain pass, and those who see this pond, never get out alive.

Therefore, this mountain pass is also known as the place of death, and there is not a single corpse in it, and people disappear directly.

Whether it is a local, or an outsider, as long as you meet the curtain people, you will be told not to go near here.

And because Ivan left too early and too anxious this morning, no one in the inn had time to mention this to him.

Coincidentally, Ivan walked in, and all of this is not all artificial, but also intentional.
