As soon as the sun set below sea level, the Castle Keeper fell into silence, and all that was left was the rustle of the waves washing over the harbor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Governor's Mansion in Saeki Bay was quiet in Ivan's room at the moment, and Ivan was very peacefully asleep on the soft bed, covered with a quilt.

And at this time, the door of Ivan's room was slowly pushed open, and the person who came deliberately lowered his voice in order not to wake Ivan, and touched Ivan's bed on tiptoe, his red eyes revealed a hesitant look, and finally his eyes became firm and no longer waver as if he had made up his mind.

………………

Click, click, click......

In the empty and silent space, the sound of Ivan walking could be heard far away.

"As a result, I haven't found anything special until now." Ivan stopped, turned his head left and right, looking around, trying to find a way out, but there was always endless darkness around him, and there was no exit at all, "Keep going, I don't know if this place has an end." ”

Ivan has been in this space for a while, as Ivan is already feeling a little bored, although the monotonous colors make it easier to get bored.

"Huh?" And it was at this time that Ivan noticed something in front of him and sighed softly, "What is that?" ”

"It's me?" When Ivan walked over, he realized that what he saw before turned out to be himself, no, to be precise, a person who looked exactly like himself and even had the same clothes on his body was standing there quietly.

Ivan carefully looked at himself as he stood there, his eyes closed as if he were a dead man, his chest completely unheaving.

Out of curiosity, Ivan slowly raised his arm and stretched out his palm to the "self" who seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, and just as Ivan's palm was about to touch his body, cracks suddenly appeared in the dark space around him, and these cracks became larger and larger and gradually spread to the entire space, even the ground under Ivan's feet did not let go.

"What the hell is going on?!" From time to time, there was a clicking sound like a shattered mirror, and finally the entire space collapsed under Ivan's incredulous gaze, revealing a new space.

The gray sky and even the clouds were gray, Ivan looked down at his feet, and found himself standing on the water, and when he raised his steps, there were slight ripples.

"......" Ivan looked up at himself in front of him, and found him standing with his back against a large tree surrounded by two people, the huge canopy of which was like a huge umbrella, covering the sky around him, but there were no leaves on the branches.

Ivan swallowed a mouthful of saliva to calm the surprise in his heart, it was still dark before, and there was no trace of anger at all, but in a blink of an eye, it immediately became like this, although it was still very depressed.

"I don't know why this happened, but it should have something to do with you." With black eyes quietly staring at the "self" in front of him, Ivan decided to continue with the previous action, although this made him feel bad, but Ivan's palm finally touched.

The self in front of him was like a phantom, and Ivan's palm passed directly through it, and he didn't feel any real feeling at all.

"Phantom?" Ivan blinked, his face puzzled. And at this time, the place where it came into contact with the palm of his hand suddenly revealed red tentacles like liquid, and these red tentacles stretched out from the phantom's body and entangled in Ivan's arm, and spread up along Ivan's arm, trying to wrap Ivan's whole person.

"What?!" Seeing this situation, Ivan directly retracted his hand and pulled back the palm that was stretched into the phantom's body, and the red tentacles wrapped around Ivan's arm also slowly retracted into "Ivan's" body after losing its attachment, and the atmosphere fell into weirdness again.

Bang bang bang......

Ivan's heart was beating violently at this moment, and although the red tentacles had only wrapped around his arm for a short while, Ivan could still feel that the manic mood was beginning to affect him.

"Try again, and if it's still like this, leave yourself and find another way out." Ivan took a deep breath, trying to calm his pounding heart a little more, and his right hand, which had been in contact with the phantom before, was raised again, slowly reaching for "Ivan's" shoulder.

The black eyes were fixed on "Ivan", and if there was anything wrong, Ivan decided to leave the place immediately.

Closer, Ivan's palm is getting closer and closer to the previous position, at this moment Ivan's heart is beating very violently, and cold sweat is slowly dripping down his cheeks, so far there seems to be nothing abnormal, which makes Ivan a little relieved.

And just as Ivan's palm was about to touch his body, his originally closed eyes suddenly opened, and his red eyes looked at Ivan quietly.

The heart that was still beating violently just now suddenly stopped for half a beat, and the arm reaching out to him froze, and Ivan's black eyes stared at him silently.

After a long time, the corners of "Ivan's" mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile full of evil intentions, and his palm grabbed Ivan's wrist violently.

……………………

"Ho !!" Ivan, who was lying quietly on the bed, opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were full of horror, and when the red-eyed "Ivan" grabbed his wrist before, a creepy feeling began to spread throughout his body from his wrist.

"Hmm~" And just after Ivan came to his senses, the figure of the empty mother entered his sight.

At this moment, the empty mother held her long white hair with her hands, closed her eyes and slowly approached Ivan's face, her slightly red cheeks and upturned pink lips reminded Ivan that the empty mother seemed to want to do something comfortable now.

To call or not to call, there are two paths in front of Ivan at this moment. After hesitating for a while, Ivan decided not to call, after all, if she did, she would definitely be embarrassed, and she wouldn't suffer anyway.

Ivan, who had already made a decision, would quietly watch the beautiful face of the empty mother get closer and closer to him with his eyes open, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly, showing the unrest of his master's heart.

And just when Ivan could clearly feel the breath exhaled by the empty mother hitting his face, he didn't know if the empty mother felt Ivan's gaze or something else, in short, the originally closed eyes slowly opened, and suddenly the red eyes and Kuroko's eyes looked at each other.

The atmosphere that was still a little ambiguous suddenly became awkward. (To be continued.) )
