Chapter 11: The Spirit
Dark.
The endless darkness, the darkness with a strong intent to die, is like the color of the heart after experiencing some kind of great sorrow and mourning.
This is the only description of the scene that Wen Xuan can see now after opening his eyes.
Tick......
The sound of water droplets rang out in this pitch-black space.
Wen Xuan ignored everything around him, and after getting no other answer, he finally chose to close his eyes.
Since he can't change the darkness, then he can only adapt himself to the darkness.
Even he doesn't know where he is at the moment, just like dreamers don't realize that they are dreaming most of the time, and this factor leads to the fact that they will eventually integrate into the world of dreams.
Tick......
Another sound of water droplets sounded, and this time the sound of water droplets was slightly louder than the previous one, at least one could hear it clearly.
And the sound of water droplets to Wen Xuan is like the sound of stalactites dripping from the roof of the cave to the ground in the cave, crisp and lonely.
Just as Wen Xuan was about to follow the sound and find the exit, the next moment he closed his eyes, he felt a dazzling light suddenly appear in the original darkness.
It's like the introduction of the protagonist's transformation in some clichΓ© old plot, and a huge door appears in the light in front of him.
And the light came from behind the door.
He reached out and gently touched the door in front of him, and a biting chill spread from his fingertips to his brain.
The coldness that penetrated the bone made him subconsciously retract his arm, looked at the door in front of him, and after hesitating for a while, he still walked into the door.
ββββββββββββββββ
Inside, the darkness that had existed outside the door dissipated like the ebb tide before the tsunami.
Compared with the extreme darkness before, the world inside the door was a snow-white vastness in the opposite direction, the same boundlessness, the same emptiness.
Probably the only difference between them is that the darkness before makes people feel panicked, while the light here feels endless desolation.
It's like the colorless realm recorded in the Buddhist scriptures, colorless and matterless, directionless, heaven and earth are mixed, and there is nothing.
Wen Xuan looked back at the darkness just a door away, the same extreme darkness, suddenly made him feel that this darkness was like a monster with teeth and claws but unwilling to show his form, he hid in the darkness and brewed, sharpening his minions all the time, and at the same time always looking for an opportunity to swallow this door, and then let everything here completely dissolve into the shadows.
Just when Wen Xuan was indulging in these two extreme colors, an emerald green vine suddenly appeared at Wen Xuan's feet, and before Wen Xuan could react, his whole person was suspended in the air.
A zone that was originally shrouded in endless light. Suddenly a vine appeared, Rao Yiwenxuan's usual calmness, but at this moment he was also a little flustered, he subconsciously cursed: "Grass! What the hell is this place? β
And something that made him feel even more unbelievable appeared, the original vast world, suddenly had color, just like the creation god moved the dye on a whim, and for a time the earth appeared under his feet, green trees appeared around him, flowers and trees, poisonous snakes and beasts swarmed.
At this time, the dragon who was dressed in simple linen clothes and looked like a child about three years old walked under the tree, looked at Wen Xuan who came uninvited, frowned and asked, "Who!" Got you here! β
As the sound of the sprite fell, Wen Xuan also fell from the giant tree hanging high to the ground, and the moment he touched the ground, the scene around him disappeared as if it had gone backwards with the rapid passage of time.
The next moment the earth turned red, the cracked ground was steaming with a hot wave, and the world was covered with magma and smoke, Wen Xuan raised his head and found the dragon sitting high on the throne made of the skeletons of beasts and birds, looking at him with a look of disdain in his eyes.
Looking at the young dragon on the throne, Wen Xuan didn't feel that the scene in front of him would make people feel nondescript, but he felt that the dragon in front of him had an indescribable domineering at the moment, and this had nothing to do with whether he was sitting on the throne, nor whether there was a mountain of blood corpses under him, but the kind of momentum that he inadvertently revealed.
After all, a king who can compete with Ying Long in ancient times and defeat the spirit of the mountains and rivers after the wind, it seems natural to have such a spirit.
Wen Xuan casually wiped the plasma that had just been tie-dyed on his face, he looked at the dragon and said in a deep voice, "Let me go back." β
The dragon stretched out his right hand to support his chin, and his left hand was slightly horizontal outward, which meant that it was self-evident.
Feel free to do so.
And at this moment, Tang Tang's voice suddenly came from the sky, the voice was very soft, like a whisper in sleep, but it was also very gentle, like a couple telling a little love talk.
But at this moment, both Wenxuan and Wei Wei could clearly hear every word Tang Tang said.
Including how she used that gentle voice to tell how she bit off the neck of the living corpse. Said that she had become unable to eat any of the delicious food she normally had since that day, and that she had become obsessed with the smell of blood, that she was the ghoul of the anime.
Slowly, her voice was no longer gentle, her voice was getting faster and faster, her voice was getting sharper and sharper, her tone was becoming more and more distorted, and you could hear that she was starting to go more and more crazy.
The next moment, a picture of Tang Tang suddenly appeared in front of Wen Xuan, he saw Tang Tang's distorted and hideous face at the moment, the corners of her mouth were dripping with saliva water, her eyes were bloodshot, she stretched out her hand to cover her stomach that began to cramp violently because of hunger, at this moment she was like those people who were extremely hungry during the disaster year, Wen Xuan could feel what kind of pain she was enduring at this moment.
At this moment, the spirit appeared in front of Wen Xuan at some point, he showed his face like a three- or four-year-old child, looked at Wen Xuan sarcastically, he spoke, his voice was full of temptation: "How about it, do you want to agree to the conditions I put forward at the beginning, and I will give you everything I have." Let me be you, so that the personalities that inhabit you will naturally not pose a threat to you, and then you can save her. It's just a living corpse, but I've even beaten its ancestors. β
Wen Xuan looked at him in front of him, and suddenly remembered the scene when he first appeared, when he was in the mirror with this child's face, and the first thing he said was to ask him if he would like to become a ghost.
In this way, he himself can go to die.
At that time, Wen Xuan was taken aback, and he fled in a hurry.
But it seems that for so long, the dragon has never changed his mind about wanting to die, so for so many years, the dragon has been helping him, saving him, and even being angry than Wen Xuan when he was abused, so everything he did, including manipulating Wen Xuan's dreams, including lending him the power to kill his biological father before, all of this was just to make him become him.
So that he could die, just like in a dream, holding the ghost's head and dying. to fulfill the promises they made when they were young.
Wen Xuan listened to Tang Tang's increasingly rapid breathing, he gritted his teeth and nodded silently.
After seeing that he had promised himself, he looked at Wen Xuan ecstatically, his body grew up in an instant, he opened the thick bone wings behind him, and slowly wrapped them in the bone wings, in the shadows, he smiled happily.
Soon there was the sound of flesh gnawing from within the bone wings.
At this moment, a sentence appeared on the blood-covered earth: "Floating, I don't know what to seek; I don't know where to go. Just outside the bone wing, a light and shadow suddenly appeared.
In the light and shadow, the charm dressed in green gauze led the spirit who was still a child, and jumped into the distance, at this time, the bone wings slowly dissolved into Wen Xuan's body, he wiped the blood on his mouth, and looked at the two lights and shadows in the distance.
Wei Wei turned around and smiled at him, then raised his head to look at Mei, and said to Mei in a childish voice: "Mei, when I grow up, I'll marry you." β
Mei lightly pointed to the dragon's forehead and hugged it with a smile: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to grow up." β
But as everyone knows, the sprite doesn't grow up.
And then, everything was gone.
The door appeared out of thin air in this vast world again, and Wen Xuan walked to the door and pushed open the heavy door.
Outside the door, the intent of death and darkness had long since disappeared, leaving only an ancient cave, and the stone milk in the cave was slowly dripping.
