Chapter 39 White Lake
Words can no longer describe the fear in my heart and the sorrow that comes with the shattering of my last hope.
Once again, I was blind on an unknown path, and I could only pray that my stumbling steps would not fall into the long-coveted trap ahead.
But what is most urgent now is not these crises that have not yet happened, but ......
I turned my head to look at the half-crouched girl beside me, her clear gaze falling on my face that was about to collapse.
Looking at the pair of eyes that knew nothing, I suddenly began to feel irrepressible fear, and along with the countless bloody and cruel images that flashed in my mind, the skeleton of my whole body also trembled suddenly.
Finally, I still have to break my promise, because in the absence of the Ten Days, the only thing that awaits us is a tragic death.
With the promise to Yao, the belief built from lies collapsed in an instant, and I fell to the ground, and the arms supporting my torso became extremely heavy in an instant.
"What's going on?"
In a trance, Yao's voice rang softly in my ears, and I suddenly looked back to find that she had been standing beside me for an unknown amount of time. Soaking in the diffused light, there was no shadow on her cheeks, only my panicked expression reflected in her clear pupils.
I fell to my knees as if I had lost my mind, twisted my neck to the side and glanced at Yao, who was slightly agitated, and every joint from head to toe was as stiff as death.
What to do? Will you tell her everything he told me? Will she understand me then? Can she understand that I am also a victim?
But thinking about it, my thinking gradually drifted to the dark extreme.
What if she doesn't understand, or doesn't believe it? What if she thought I was just lying to her? She's already given up once, and if she gets hit again, who knows what will become of her! If you get angry with me again, it will definitely turn into a rather ugly situation. So now there is only one choice left, not only for me, but also for her......
I put away my complicated thoughts, staggered to my feet, then clamped Yao's shoulders hard, bent down to look at her, and said with an almost demonic smile,
"I—I know how to be saved!"
"What?!"
The girl's sharp response was heard in my ears, mixed with excitement and a sharp blade of questioning, but I didn't care at all.
My only wish right now is to pull Yao on, even if it is a dead end, a beast curled up behind every corner and smiling, I will not hesitate!
Because the consequences of letting her know the truth are absolutely unbearable for me! That's a denial of my personality! It's a slander against me! Even if I can't remember what I was before I lost my memory, I won't be the garbage that lives on lies in the eyes of others!
As for the risks brought about by this choice, I'm afraid I can only take one step, see-
Suddenly, the entangled train of thought came to an abrupt end, and I stared at Yao's slightly frightened expression in two fingers, and the unnatural smile on my face twitched a few times.
"Huh."
I grunted eerily, I had never felt so ironic.
After all, if you think about it, didn't I do this kind of self-ashamed behavior a long time ago?
Where is she now?
"It hurts, it hurts......"
Just a second before my brain was about to explode, Yao's moans rang out at an inopportune time. I pulled my mind out of the mire that seemed to be paved with nightmares, and shifted my gaze to the girl with a distorted face between the palms of my hands.
In an instant, I finally understood the meaning contained in Yao's words, and shook off my overexerted hands like an electric shock.
As soon as he was liberated, Yao immediately retreated a few meters away vigilantly, but under the pair of frowning brows, it was clearly an irrepressible joy.
As if to remind me of the guilt I committed, before I could breathe, Yao struggled and asked,
"So what? Where do we go? ”
"Go, go......"
Examined by her burning gaze, I only felt my lips dry and gastric juice churning desperately as if it was about to squirt out of my mouth. Finally, under the domination of a powerful subconscious, I replied hesitantly,
"Go to the other side of the White Lake."
"White ...... Lake? ”
"Right at the bottom of the tunnel."
Perhaps thinking that the place name I blurted out had some credibility, Yao nodded suspiciously, without much rebuttal, and then walked slowly towards the calm lake in the distance.
Looking at her back as she drifted away, I sighed in disappointment, and at the same time, the guilt that had accumulated in my heart was also loosened a little.
I might just have to wait a little longer, wait for a suitable opportunity, and at that point, there will naturally be a way.
With false comfort, I embarked on a path from which there was no turning back.
The dense surface of the mutton fat lake hanging at the end of the line of sight became clearer and clearer under Yao's selfless pursuit.
I remembered Yu Shi's previous instructions, and tried not to observe the pure white oval with my eyes sideways, but Yao, who was carried away, had no worries, as if she only wanted to find the way I had promised to live.
However, no matter how much I concealed it, the pure color of the white lake still more or less fell into my slightly open eyes, and that unique brilliant white was not at all a lifeless hollow left after the fading of the object, but it should be said that the countless bright and colorful colors of the world were gathered in one place, and then adjusted to the brightest, so as to blend into this magnificent spectacle that could not be seen.
Every soft glimmer of the White Lake seems to hide countless changes, and when you look closely, those swirling and dancing glows, whether they have long been marked on the spectrum, or the color that cannot be described by the tongue of mortals, are so subtle and shocking.
In the end, the conclusion of the Ten is still too one-sided, and the White Lake is not supposed to give life to all things, because it is life itself.
"Damn!"
Suddenly, I stumbled and almost fell to the ground in a hurry. While scolding, I staggered to stabilize my body, turned my head to look at the inexplicable bulge on the ground,
"Holy, this—This is—"
However, at a glance, the hypnotic sleepiness that surrounded me vanished.
In the trembling center of the middle pupil, there was a short, swarthy corpse.
And I remember its name, it is Xun.
Goosebumps rushed to the top of my head in an instant, and I was frozen in place, my chaotic brain not even reacting to what was going on.
A few seconds later, I turned around sharply as the cool air between my teeth swerved, and I was about to shout out to the demonic Yao.
"Yao! Fast! Stop...... Under. ”
It's a pity that the ruthless pusher hiding behind fate is always one step ahead of me.
I staggered to my feet, my chest filled with a breathtaking blankness and the horror that stirred in its back.
Like a white lake hanging in the sky forever, it is lying quietly in front of me at this time.
It's just that it's not just the droplets that flow between the cracks in the rocks that make up its milky white ocean.
The countless objects floating on the surface of the lake, their shattered and distorted shapes, smashed into my skull like a giant hammer, and I could almost feel my brain sliding out of the hole and falling to the ground like sticky mud.
Now, I finally understand why the lake does not have waves, because the water in it,
It's all bones.
