Chapter 33: Alone

Xinyi disproved my suspicions, and she firmly believed that everything was done by my third form of existence, the shadow under the light! This conclusion surprised me, and after some thought, I began to look at my shadow on the ground, it was just a shadow that shook with the flickering of the candle flame, maybe I was too focused, for a moment, I seemed to hear it screaming, as if it was trying to vent its dissatisfaction with me, and suddenly I felt a chill in my back.

I gasped and looked at Xinyi: "If it is really my shadow as you said, then it is too dangerous for you to stay with me, I am afraid that it will do something to you at any time!" ”

Xinyi shook her head: "Don't worry about this for the time being, as long as we keep the surrounding space lit, it's just your projection in the two-dimensional space, it won't be able to start, although there is not much power left in the flashlight, fortunately, we still have many candles left." ”

Although Xinyi's words are reasonable, but this is not a long-term solution after all, I paused: "That being said, but our candles will always burn out and run out, and the shadow is hiding in the dark, it will definitely try its best to extinguish our light source as before and wait for the opportunity to attack, for your safety, we should act separately, I will find an opportunity to kill it and avenge all the dead!" ”

"No! Absolutely not! Xinyi frowned excitedly: "I want to advance and retreat with you, don't forget, the shadow is not a person, just your projection in the two-dimensional space, it is the possession of your magnetic field, not something you can kill if you want to!" ”

"But there is always a way to subdue it, at least I can't let you follow me anymore, it has killed so many people, I really don't want you to be implicated again!" I knew Xinyi was worried that I wouldn't be able to handle it alone, but for her safety, I had already made up my mind that I would give it a try no matter what.

Xinyi always has a reason to resist my words, and she always disagrees with letting me go it alone! I didn't expect her to be more stubborn than I imagined, and in the end I couldn't convince her, and in the end I could only deal with her verbally first, planning to secretly find a chance to separate from her, so I changed my words: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, just use the remaining candles to hold on, and then make another plan when the candles run out!" We have to continue on the road, we have to go back to the stone chamber first, there are three stone gates in the stone chamber, and this road is a dead end now! You can only find a way out in the remaining two stone gates! ”

Seeing that I was no longer arguing with her, Xinyi calmed down: "I know which way to go, I and the monkey entered the two stone gates separately, and the one I took was also a dead end, and now only the stone gate that the monkey entered." ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately became energetic: "Okay, let's continue on the road!" With that, I went back to the stone chamber with Xinyi!

As soon as I returned to the stone room, I recognized the stone gate that the monkey had entered, and I immediately walked to the stone gate and stopped, knowing that this was the best time to separate from Xinyi, and immediately looked back at her: "I must continue to walk the road ahead!" Now that the monkey is gone, I don't want him to follow me in danger again, and I don't want you to be hurt in any way, so you can wait for me here, I should break off with the shadow! ”

I was only two meters away from Xinyi, and I looked at her face seriously as I said this, and I knew in my heart that this side was ...... It could be a farewell!

Xinyi's face changed dramatically after hearing this, she had already heard the reason for my words, but I didn't give her a chance to stop me, before she could react, I suddenly turned around and rushed into the stone gate, and immediately closed the stone door!

Although I could clearly hear Xinyi's call through the stone door, I ignored it, I kept telling myself in my heart that I had to be ruthless and continue on the road!

I made up my mind, lit a candle with a fold of fire, and began to walk slowly towards the depths of the tomb. Xinyi's cries grew farther and farther away from me, and the sound began to become indistinct, until at last I could not hear it at all, and I had gone more than 100 meters deep into the tomb.

The graveyard was narrow and winding, and after a few moments, the first candle I had lit had burned most of it, and the candlelight flickered with the current, and there was silence all around, and I concluded that this must be the way to the center of the earth.

At this moment, Xinyi was not by my side, I no longer had any scruples in my heart, I couldn't help but glance at my shadow on the wall, because of the unevenness of the wall, the shadow was stretched obliquely and crooked by the candlelight, maybe it was a psychological effect, for a moment, I began to feel that the atmosphere around me seemed to be gradually changing.

I stared at my own shadow on the wall for more than a minute, and the shadow remained in this form, swaying in an orderly manner with the candlelight, and so far, I had not noticed anything unusual. Although I was ready to fight the shadow to the death, just staring at it at the moment made me feel a faint chill in my back!

I thought to myself that if I wanted to confront the shadow, I had to draw it out first, and even if I stared at it forever, it would only be a shadow, and there was no point in doing so.

I've been thinking for a long time, and there's only one way to draw the shadow out, and that's ...... Extinguish the candle and plunge the space around me into absolute darkness, and only when there is no light source can the shadow break free from my shackles and begin to act, and I will have a chance to confront it head-on!

Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and blew on the candle, the candle flame was extinguished immediately, and the surroundings were immediately swallowed by infinite darkness, and it was pitch black in front of me! I held my breath and began to pay close attention to the movement around me, and if the shadow started to move, I could definitely feel it even if I couldn't see it!

After a long time, there was no movement around, the graveyard was surprisingly quiet, and my tense nerves made me almost audible to my own heartbeat!

At this moment, suddenly, I felt a cool breeze blowing in my ears, and suddenly the cold hairs on my whole body stood up, I knew...... It's coming!

I took a deep breath, lifted my sword and slashed at the dark space behind me, and cursed at the same time: "You're finally here?" What kind of ability is it to hurt people behind your back, and you have the guts...... Just give it to me! ”

In an instant, I had slashed more than 20 swords in all directions, only to see sparks shooting in the dark, and almost every sword I slashed against the stone wall of the tomb, and suddenly felt a tingling in the tiger's mouth. When I put away my sword and listened, the surroundings fell silent again, and I unconsciously said in my heart: Is the shadow coming or not?
