Chapter 34: The Golden Mask
The galaxy is bright and shining, and the grassland at night is very quiet.
The world is quiet, the evening breeze gently blows through to bring a trace of coolness, and everywhere you see the grass waves undulating with the wind, it seems very comfortable.
A piece of tranquility and mystery, stretching all the way over the endless grassland, seemingly endless.
The long pink hair swayed back and forth behind her, the yellow-green eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky, the light column of the flashlight illuminated straight ahead, and in the light footsteps, the girl was continuing to walk forward.
"Really...... Mu Xiu, where did you go?! ”
Guidaisy gasped slightly, and looked up at the sky, the bright moon was incredibly large hanging in the sky, and the brilliant Milky Way was burning quietly in the night sky, as if a perfect spiral was swaying brightly.
The night scenery is unimaginably magnificent, but it makes people wonder if this is the earth or not.
And so on –
"This can't be Earth in the first place! Really, what the hell was I thinking...... Isn't that something obvious! ”
As if thinking of something, she couldn't help but sigh and stretched out her free hand to hold her forehead.
If it weren't for Aige sending an email to himself, I'm afraid I wouldn't know anything.
The cause of the incident seems to be that classmate Mu Xiu became interested in the treasure house of the Three Thousand Courtyard Villa, and then asked the housekeeper of the Three Thousand Courtyard to take him into it, and then more than an hour passed, and neither of them came out.
As a matter of course, this situation was discovered by the Izumi, so the three fools naturally got involved, and found a hidden passage into the underground space in the treasure vault, and there seemed to be a huge ruin below......
- What happened next, in fact, even if Aige didn't say it, Gui Daisy herself could have foreseen it.
It's nothing more than a physical education class, one person accidentally hit the shuttlecock high on a tree and hung it, and the other people tried to knock it off with their shoes or something, but their shoes were also hanging on it.
That's right, it's basically something of a similar nature, and after nearly an hour passed, the three fools didn't come back.
According to the emergency investigation organized by Miss Maria, the results showed that the main body of the ruins under the treasure vault was actually an excessively large palace complex-
Although there is a considerable degree of damage to the palace complex over the years, it is still huge like an ancient big city, and it seems normal to get lost in the depths of the labyrinth in an unfamiliar dark environment.
That's why cinnamon daisies are here.
After all, after the disappearance of the butler who was too strong to be human, and the guy who was not human at all, she was indeed the only one who was not a funny character.
In fact, to be honest, the strength is so strong that even Gui Daisy feels dangerous from all sides, and there is a girl, and that guy also says that she is his sister...... Although the elder was skeptical, because he intuitively felt that it was a strong enemy.
However, no matter what the situation is, the blonde girl seems to be suffering from severe narcolepsy.
She could sleep eight or nine hours during the day and more than ten hours at night, something that had been confirmed in the previous days of the journey, and she was always sleeping, as if she couldn't sleep enough.
The same is true now, so it is indeed not wrong to say that Guidaisy is the only hope for the whole village.
So when the pink-haired girl was completely prepared, she also entered the underground space, and followed the traces all the way, and found the clues of the first two groups of people very smoothly-
It's not difficult to do this, and you don't need to be a hunter.
Because there has been no trace of the underground labyrinth for a long time, the surface of any road is dusty, whether it is a rough soil layer or a paved stone slab.
If someone has been active in it in the recent past, what are the traces left behind...... It will be very fresh and obvious, as long as you are not blind, you can see it at a glance, and you don't even need to "press the E button to enter Eagle Vision" setting.
In this way, the pink-haired girl traced all the way to the end of a huge square between the underground palace complexes, and found a magnificent and unimaginable fresco.
Surrounded by columns, the walls are tall and magnificent, and the frescoes are bright and clear, with a strong artistic style of ancient Greece.
It's just that because she doesn't have the relevant experience and knowledge level in this area, Gui Daisy can't see what the abstract mural is trying to express.
However, she can understand a considerable part of the strange text on it inexplicably, and she can even read some sentence patterns if she wants to guess, but the meaning is obscure and incoherent, so the whole is still unclear.
Of course, these are not the most important things, the most important thing is that the traces she followed seem to have disappeared before the mural.
With almost no hesitation, Guidaisy also chose to touch the wall directly and ...... I was sucked in by the mural?!
I guess I was sucked into the mural or some other space afterward, but because of the momentary trance, as if even the thinking itself was frozen, Gui Daisy couldn't be completely sure.
It wasn't until half an hour ago that she woke up to find herself in a sea of flowers beneath the starry sky.
Not far away, at the top of the cliff is a majestic castle with many minarets, which are brightly lit at night, and there are lights shining from behind every window.
Generally speaking, at this time, most people will probably choose to walk directly to the castle on the cliff, because no matter how you think about it, whether it is temporary shelter or looking for a missing friend, it is the most likely thing in the castle.
But it makes no sense, after hesitating for a long time, the pink-haired girl chose the opposite direction and has been until now.
It's not completely without reason, she just chose to follow the guidance of her innermost wishes, so she subconsciously felt that only by walking in this direction would she see the people she cared about.
In fact, she was right -
……
……
The pink-haired girl walked for about ten minutes or so, and the scenery in front of her finally changed.
On a slightly sloping grassland hillside in front of him, a teenager was lying on his back, as if looking up at the sky.
"So it's here, really...... Why don't you understand what others are worried about? ”
Gui Daisy stopped and complained dissatisfiedly, and then obviously let out a long sigh of relief, only then did she feel that she was really tired from this journey.
The bright moon hangs in the sky, revealing the whole picture of the planet, which is extremely spectacular and huge.
The night sky is full of stars, it looks very bright, the breeze blows, and the moonlight falls like water and flows quietly on the earth. In the moonlight, the grassland stretches its broad heart in the night, welcoming guests from afar with a characteristic quiet.
“……”
“……”
There is silence, and there is only silence between heaven and earth.
Frowning slightly, Gui Daiju carefully shone the light of the flashlight from a distance, squinted her eyes and identified it, confirming that it was indeed someone, but the other party still didn't move.
It's - asleep?!
There seems to be only one explanation, right? I can't tell what the reason is, the girl suddenly felt that the resentment that had just risen in her heart had nowhere to vent, and there was an inexplicable trace of strange emotions.
She subconsciously turned off the flashlight that was originally used to better find people, and then walked over slowly.
Then, with a long sigh.
Because Mu Xiu really seemed to be just asleep on the grass, as unguarded as a baby, and his breath was long and gentle.
So Gui Daisy silently sat down beside the young man, her frowning brows stretched, and even the dissatisfied expression on her face eased, it was the first time she had seen the other party in such a state.
Therefore, I inexplicably want to protect the peace of this moment, and I don't want to disturb the other party.
"Hey, what's this?"
At this moment, the corner of the girl's eyes suddenly noticed the gold reflected by the soft moonlight, and when she turned her head, she saw that a pure gold strange mask was being placed in the open space on the other side of Mu Xiu.
The surface of the mask was engraved with all kinds of strange symbols and inscriptions, and instead of reflecting the moonlight, it itself was emitting a faint golden glow, which was not ordinary at first glance.
Gui Daisy stared at the golden mask, and suddenly a wave of unease appeared from the deepest part of her soul.
The uneasiness was a premonition of danger, even though the vague fluctuations in energy were so faint that they were almost imperceptible.
It's not that because of the face of something evil and crazy blasphemy, I subconsciously feel repulsed. Rather, it is an instinctive reaction to the threat. It's like an ordinary person facing the cold killing intent emitted by the barrel of a black hole.
Because I knew that it was a huge threat that could tear myself apart at any time and take my life, I was shocked.
The mask seemed to have a special magical power, and the Gui Daisy stared at it with wide eyes, completely immersed in it, unaware of the passage of time outside.
It wasn't until a low groan that she was pulled back to reality, and she saw the boy sitting up on the grass beside her, holding his head.
Mu Xiu felt that he was in a rather bad state now, everything in his vision seemed to be a little distorted, and his brain was also confused.
Daisy-san...... You're here, what time is it...... Oh, sorry, the time here is very problematic, you didn't think I asked......"
He covered his face with one hand, glanced to the side, and then said with some slurred words, trying to drive his brain to think about what had happened before he passed out.
However, he didn't seem surprised by the appearance of the Gui Daisy, perhaps he had expected such a possibility for a long time.
As long as Mu Xiu spends enough time in this space, the Gui Daisy in the main world will inevitably pursue her, and she, who is essentially an angel, will definitely be able to enter this space by touching the Dao sign.
The pink-haired girl blinked, and then asked with a strange expression, "That—Mu Xiu?" Are you okay, or are you asleep here, and the night breeze is blowing so you catch a cold? ”
"Cold? No, no, no, I'm not asleep here, I was knocked unconscious by her outburst......" Sitting up with difficulty, Mu Xiu's eyes were a little dazed, but he quickly regained his clarity.
"She? Who is she? "The elder has a keen grasp of the key words.
"The owner of this place, a guy who lives in the castle on the cliff in that direction......" Mu Xiu said with a little pale face, confused.
"Why did she hit you?" The girl's eyes were already full of suspicion.
“…… Probably because I was a little unconvinced that she was manipulated and toyed with like that, so when she asked me to make a wish, I took the opportunity to fight back against her. ”
"I don't understand it, but it doesn't seem like a good way to fight back...... Specifically? Gui Daisy frowned, trying as hard as she could to understand the meaning of Mu Xiu's words without knowing the cause and effect.
"Didn't she call herself the god Narusawa World, so I just made a wish to - hey, what is this?"
The young man, who seemed to have remembered everything, sighed weakly, and then his right hand inadvertently touched the uneven surface of a cold, hard ancient monster body, and took it with his hand.
The next moment, a cold, familiar prompt resounded in his consciousness—
"Evolve the mask, and those who enter the fourth level of unlocking the life forbidden zone liberation can wear this mask, and they can have a chance to experience the feeling of the fifth order, and anyone who does not reach the fourth level of life forbidden zone liberation or above wears this mask, and the gene will be out of control, and there is no restriction on its use."
