Chapter 27: The Scourge of Shadows (Part II)
In the afternoon, the Thousand Scenes Academy is still a harmonious tea time.
However, today's Bai Xuanyi unexpectedly didn't ask Lan Xiaoyu and Lan Qinuo to share good tea together, because after all, she needed to think carefully about what Lingxi said today.
In fact...... The main reason is because Bai Xuanyi is a little tired, and he really wants to sleep and steal a little lazy.
Bai Xuanyi chose the class as his nap spot, because there was no one else here, and Lingxi was nowhere to be found.
Bai Xuanyi thought to himself that maybe Lingxi was also going to relax with his friends, let alone others.
Sitting in his seat, Bai Xuanyi carefully spread a blanket on the table, and then prepared to start his nap business.
There was almost no buffer time, and Bai Xuanyi, who was lying on the table, quickly fell asleep.
That beautiful face was filled with comfort, so that everything around it could not help but be overshadowed, and it became a part of this brief silence.
However, although Bai Xuanyi hopes that she can take a nap peacefully, there are some things in the dark that will not obey her little wishes.
Bai Xuanyi only felt that he was in a chaos full of confusion and unstable light mist.
Where is this? Is this my dream? Why can't I see almost anything?
As if being choked by a pair of invisible giant hands, Bai Xuanyi was almost out of breath in this vague world.
There...... Something seems to be ...... Luminous?
Bai Xuanyi noticed the faint flickering white light source in front of him, even though it was very small, it was extremely bright in this chaotic realm.
I have to get out of here...... With this in mind, Bai Xuanyi began to try to move, but she found that her body was also merged into this chaos.
Finding that she didn't have the ability to move, Bai Xuanyi couldn't help but panic, and inexplicable uneasiness and fear spread in her heart.
At this time, something in this dream world seemed to be affected by Bai Xuanyi's emotions, and some things changed, the most obvious being the little white light source in front of Bai Xuanyi's eyes.
The ominous dark matter began to erode the small light source, and soon, perhaps in just a second, the white light turned black.
Bai Xuanyi, who was aware of all this, could barely control her panic, and after the light source was eroded, huge negative emotions rose in the depths of her heart like the first sun that had turned black.
Everything will be corrupted, everything will be destroyed, everything will be under the control of darkness......
This strange and dangerous thought quickly took over Bai Xuanyi's consciousness, and in an instant, everything she saw turned into a dark imagination.
Endless shadows, endless darkness, accompanied by only bursts of terrifying dark purple light that came like a rising tide.
The remnants of Baek's consciousness have transformed into a completely different world, where trees and flowers are everywhere, and carefree children play happily on the tender green grass.
Bai Xuanyi's consciousness seemed to merge and merge with these children, as if he had forgotten that this world was nothing more than a false fantasy.
The dark world outside is where I end up...... Only there can I find the meaning of my true existence......
Wrong!! Bai Xuanyi, who was wandering in the dark purple tide, suddenly woke up, why did he give up those good things and exile himself to this eternal dark wasteland?
Bai Xuanyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she realized that her body was back, but she soon found that she had been trapped in this dark purple tide.
What can I do...... Bai Xuanyi tried to lift her arm, but found that the dark purple substance was holding her arm tightly, and the strange force made her unable to move at all.
With a strong desire to survive, Bai Xuanyi tried all kinds of methods to free himself from the shackles of the dark purple substance, but found that it was almost impossible.
Just as Bai Xuanyi was discouraged, the dark purple surge seemed to sense her thoughts and slowly moved forward.
Is it all you have to move...... Although extremely reluctant to be in the company of this strange surge, Bai Xuanyi still concentrated on trying to get out of here.
But all that was around was endless darkness, something like the dark purple substance that bound Bai Xuanyi.
Bai Xuanyi controlled the dark purple substance surging for a long time, and after discovering that there was no exit at all, he stopped.
This is my dream...... I can't even escape my dreams?
Bai Xuanyi's self-deprecation didn't last long, and she soon noticed that something different seemed to appear in the dark world.
The orange-red light began to flicker faintly around, and this light brought Bai Xuanyi an inexplicable panic.
Firelight...... It's firelight! And...... It's no ordinary fire......
This is clearly the vision that Lingxi showed her, the fire of destruction emitted by the burning of the city!
A vague scene began to spread around the orange-red light, confirming Bai Xuanyi's judgment.
Most of Bai Xuanyi's surroundings were still in endless darkness, and only the sight of the end unfolded in front of her.
A feeling of more shock than last time rose in Bai Xuanyi's heart, as if she was in this apocalyptic world, feeling the weakened heartbeat of the scarred earth.
The sky turned completely gray, and a great amount of haze filled the city from top to bottom, and the scattered people turned into the same dust as soon as they came into contact with the smoke.
It occurred to Bai Xuanyi that this might be some kind of large-scale magic that had been used to exterminate it, and its users ...... Bai Xuanyi couldn't help but look at the sky in the distance.
There were still two light sources fighting, white and black light fogging their figures.
Bai Xuanyi tried to get close to them, trying to see what they really were.
Just as she was getting close enough, the black light source suddenly stopped waving the blade in her hand.
The dense black light mist gradually dissipated, and a petite black-haired girl appeared in front of Bai Xuanyi.
But Bai Xuanyi still couldn't fully see the girl's figure, and in the blur, she only saw a black dress and the girl's beautiful black hair.
Bai Xuanyi still wanted to step forward to take a closer look at the girl's appearance, but the black-haired girl suddenly turned her head and stared at her directly.
!!! Bai Xuanyi was taken aback, but she was soon deeply attracted by the girl's flawless golden eyes.
The peerless face like an incarnated god was enough to shock her, but the golden eyes deeply shook Bai Xuanyi's soul.
From these eyes, Bai Xuanyi sensed countless emotions.
Angry, unwilling, disappointed, resolute...... These strong emotions were transmitted to the bottom of Bai Xuanyi's heart through the golden eyes that flashed with strange light.
Bai Xuanyi couldn't help but feel heartache, this was the first reaction that appeared in her consciousness, but what followed was a flood of sadness and ...... Fear.
She understood almost instantly that she felt sad because she saw the black-haired girl fighting, and she was afraid because she was afraid.
Fear that the brunette girl will die in this battle, and fear that the end times will destroy everything she and all that humanity holds dear......
Just as Bai Xuanyi fell into confusion again, the black-haired girl who was watching her slowly raised her left hand, and a huge black blade flashed with a strong dark purple light.
Bai Xuanyi's consciousness was shattered in an instant, and the last thing she saw was the cold eyes of the black-haired girl and the flashing giant blade......
Bai Xuanyi woke up in the classroom.
Suddenly awakened, she hurriedly looked at her body and found that she was not injured, so her hanging heart slowly relaxed.
She touched her forehead and smiled when she saw her sweaty hands.
It's just a dream, but it's all too real......
"There's still ten minutes to go to class, let's go out for a walk...... Bai Xuanyi muttered to herself, but when she passed by the window, she was stunned for a moment.
I saw that the world outside the window was filled with a substance very similar to the dark purple tide she had seen in her dreams!
It can be said that these substances are like fog, but they are obviously much more dangerous than ordinary fog.
Bai Xuanyi didn't stay any longer, she turned to leave, she had to confirm the safety of her friend and the reason for this change.
Bai Xuanyi came and ran out of the teaching building, and immediately felt a strong discomfort.
She quickly stretched out her right hand and used a flickering silver-white ball of light to dodge the thick mist.
It really worked, and everywhere Bai Xuanyi went, the dark purple mist receded, as if he had seen their natural enemies.
However, the tricky thing was that the purple mist in front of him was still very thick, so the visibility was very low, and Bai Xuanyi could only rely on his own memory and perception to find others.
Soon in the course of her search, she discovered the most obvious anomaly.
Almost everywhere in the Thousand Curtain Academy is overgrown with a special plant that Bai Xuanyi has just come into contact with, the Shadow Flower.
And these Shadow Flowers are a big change from what she saw in the Botanical Garden.
The Shadow Flower seen in the Botanical Garden was just a bud, and the dark energy in it was hidden, and now the Shadow Flower that Bai Xuanyi saw had all bloomed, and the dark energy naturally spread out.
Bai Xuanyi roughly estimated that there were at least a thousand such Shadow Flowers in the entire academy.
However, the dark energy contained in the Shadow Flower is very weak, and even if there are many of them, they should not cause such an anomaly.
No longer thinking about it so much, Bai Xuanyi knew that the most important thing for him at the moment was to meet with other people.
She knew that Lan Xiaoyu and the others must have taken refuge somewhere, after all, this weird purple mist was very harmful to people.
