Chapter 3: Another World
The body is very heavy, as if attracted by some kind of force, it keeps falling, the eyes can't be opened, and the brain is in chaos...
It seems to be asleep, and it seems to be awake, I don't know how long it took, Ye Qing's body had a feeling...
He felt some kind of pain all over his body, his fingers trembled slightly, and it was cold everywhere he touched, and he opened his eyes as if he had used up his remaining strength, but when he saw this scene in front of him, he instantly woke up.
Where is this?
As far as the eye could see, it was a dim world, with no people, no buildings, no lights, and under him was a pile of broken bricks, and in front of him, all the ruins of dilapidated houses...
Ye Qing struggled to stand up and looked around, only to find that a huge "sun" was slowly rising behind him, and he had to open his arms to hug it.
The light emitted by this round of "sun" is dark red, and the color is like congealed blood, and this light gives people a chilling feeling instead of warmth.
As the "sun" rises, all the darkness around it is slightly reddened, like a terrifying scene in a horror movie.
Ye Qing slowly raised his arm, palms up, looking at his hands, recalling the moment he fell from the elevated shelf, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
I'm not going to be dead, am I? Is this the underworld?! It turns out that the dead will really come to another world!
Just as he was thinking about his "death", he suddenly heard someone shouting:
"Li Qing~~Li Qing~~"
"Brother~~"
Following the direction from which the voice came, two figures ran towards Ye Qing quickly, Ye Qing subconsciously wanted to dodge, but his body was weak, and he just swayed in place twice.
The two figures soon arrived in front of Ye Qing, they were two beautiful girls, the younger one was about four or five years old, and before she could see it clearly, she hugged Ye Qing and cried: Brother, brother.
The other one was very calm, she walked over, and Ye Qing noticed that she was obviously older than herself, tall, fair-skinned, and her eyes were soaked with tears.
"You're alright... She looked Ye Qing up and down, her lips trembling slightly with excitement, "You, what's your name?" β
"Ye Qing," Ye Qing finished speaking, seeing the girl clasping her hands into fists, her whole body trembled, "What's wrong with you?" β
"I, I just haven't met in a long time... It's just so exciting... Let's go, get out of here first. β
The girl pulled the child who was holding Ye Qing away, put one hand around Ye Qing's waist, and let his other hand put on her neck.
The two of them walked forward half-together, with the younger child leading the way.
As we walked, there were sounds around me, and behind the broken walls, there were people walking out of some of the broken houses.
These people, dressed in dark blue clothes similar to factory overalls, walked out in groups of three or five, and automatically lined up in a line, slowly walking out of the ruins. No one seemed to notice Ye Qing and the others.
Walking to a dilapidated courtyard, the girl stopped, and Ye Qing saw that there was a brick house inside, and the house was overgrown with plants.
"Let's go in," and the three of them walked into the courtyard.
The girl pushed the door open and entered. The room was dim, but it was neat, the spotless floor reflected the dim red sunlight outside, and the light was not turned on, the girl slowly put Ye Qing on a rattan chair, and sat on the side herself.
"Where is this?" Ye Qing asked weakly.
"This is home, brother," said the younger girl, with joy in her tone.
"No, I'm asking, here, where is it?" Ye Qing raised one arm and pointed straight at the world outside the window, looking at the woman sitting next to him with sharp eyes.
The woman closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and after a few minutes, she opened her eyes, looked at Ye Qing with a gentle look in her eyes and said, "Here, there is another planet far away from the earth, the Muying Planet, which is the reflection planet of the earth in the universe,
"So, there is a person here who is exactly like you, his name is Li Qing, and last night, he diedγγγγγγ
"No, we thought he was dead, but in fact he survived, replaced by you from Earth! You must have been dying last night, right? β
Ye Qing's brain seemed to be instantly exposed to the cold wind, and he shivered, echoing these words repeatedly, "Stay away from the earth... Muying Planet... Reflection Planet. Someone who is exactly like himself ...
Li Qing, dead? Not dead? Replaced by meγγγγγγ
I, where am I? I'm on the elevated, no, I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling... Got here? ββ
Ye Qing's eyes looked out the window, a round of blood-colored sun hung at a height very close to the ground, very large, even so, this world was not bright or warm.
After a moment of relief, Ye Qing finally spoke, "Why did Li Qing die?" β
"On the planet of Muying, the night is the most dangerous, and without light, no one dares to go out, because you never know where death awaits you.
"Dark ghosts, they are everywhere, they are silent ... Last night, Li Qing didn't go home all night, it's hard to imagine that he can still live."
Dark ghosts. It sounded terrifying, Ye Qing thought of the scenes he saw in horror movies: dark graveyards, lonely ghosts and night ghosts, and his heart felt cold.
"Since you know where I'm from, can you send me back and exchange Li Qing back?"
"You have come to this world, there is no way to go back, remember, every world has the rules of each world, if you want to live, you have to follow the rules here."
"So what am I going to do?" Ye Qing asked, since there is no way back, why not live in this world for a while, it is better than dying.
The woman looked at Ye Qing's eyes quietly, Ye Qing didn't dodge, her eyes revealed an unusual calmness, "In the future, you have to live as Li Qing, don't tell anyone your real name except me, can you do it?" β
"Yes, but you're going to tell me why?"
"You'll find out later."
"Who are you?"
"My name is Ling Qi, many years ago, I came to this area, was rescued and adopted by your parents, after your parents died, I lived with Li Che, you, the three of us. You can call me sister, this is your sister. β
Ling Qi turned around and called Li Che over, it was the little girl just now, from the moment she entered the door, she sat obediently at the door.
"Sister... Sister" Ye Qing never dreamed that he was the only one on the earth, and when he came to this planet, he had two sisters at once, the sister was beautiful and the sister was cute, thinking of this, Ye Qing couldn't help laughing.
"Brother, you have changed, my brother before couldn't laugh, he was always cold." Li Che raised his head and looked at Ye Qing innocently.
"Really?" Ye Qing asked.
"I like my brother more now, though." Li Che said happily.
Ye Qing gently touched his sister's head, and Ling Qi stood aside and sighed, "Fortunately, Li Che is still young, what does he think you are still his original brother?" β
"By the way, apart from living as Li Qing, what else do I need to do?" Ye Qing took his gaze away from Li Che.
"You're getting out of here, alone." Suzuchi barely thought about it and blurted out.
"Away ... Open! Where to? Ye Qing asked.
Suzu Qi walked straight to the window and looked out the window, his eyes full of awe, "Go there." β
Ye Qing walked over, and following Ling Qi's gaze, he saw that in the dimness, behind the ruins and smoke in his eyes, there was a unique building rising from the ground and towering into the clouds, like a huge chimney, the whole body was white, the walls were glowing crimson shimmering, and the top was blocked by clouds, I don't know how high.
"That's the Muying Palace, the heart of this planet, and it's also where you go." When Ling Qi said this, her gaze did not leave, and in her shining pupils, Ye Qing could see the magnificent outline of the Muying Palace, glowing with water, flowing onto Ling Qi's white cheeksγγγγγγ
