Chapter 9: Dark Shadows

The chest was full of breath and pain, like someone pinching the heart. Loneliness, helplessness, helplessness, regret, and anger all appear at the same time, as if countless phantoms overlap in the mind. This chaotic mood lingers for a long time, and after a while the snow marks will lose consciousness.

The back of the neck, where the mosquito had bitten just now, gradually came from a tingling pain. The pain soon spread throughout the body. Snow Scar felt his muscles stiff for a moment, he couldn't breathe, and he felt as if the whole world was squeezing against him. I really want to break free, but how do I fight against the pressure of the world?

Just when his confusion and pain reached the limit, suddenly his strength was loosened, and it seemed that the whole world flew away, away from him, and the squeezing just now instantly became relaxed, and the bitterness in his mouth and the taste in the air all disappeared. The snow marks seemed to be relieved at once, and when he opened his eyes, he saw only a patch of snow white.

A completely snow-white space.

I don't feel anything. All the wounds on his body are gone, his clothes, and his bloodstains are all gone. Standing naked in this white space.

I...... Is it dead?, Snow Scarlet looked around suspiciously, blank. There can be no such place in reality.

Is death liberation, and is there no more pain in death?

But what about my mother? I died in the middle of the mountains and forests for no apparent reason. Is this my fate?

"No! it's not my fate!"

"Then what do you think is your fate?" In the empty space, a chaotic voice sounded, low and gloomy, regardless of gender.

"Who is it?"

"Don't you know me?"

"Who the hell are you?" the grief and anger in Snowmark's heart faded as he began to think again. He asked, looking into the empty nobody.

In front of him, in the empty space, it suddenly began to writhe, and a cloud of black smoke gradually appeared, from less to more, gathered and formed, turning into a black ball of light, which was actually the mysterious ball of light that had appeared on the long grass.

After the ball of light gathered, it stopped for a while, and then began to deform again, only to see that it was longer and longer, taking the shape of hands and feet, and the light film on the surface gradually disappeared, and finally merged into a black human form.

This strange scene shocked Snow Scar's heart. His legs were limp, and he almost sat on the ground.

But he thought about it, he was already dead anyway, so why should he be afraid?

So his heart sank, and instead of retreating, he marched forward.

When he walked within a few meters of the black figure, he saw the other party clearly, and the other party's clothes and faces were impressively himself! It was the person he had met before, he was exactly the same as himself in appearance and body shape, but at this time his eyes were dark, and there was a playful smile on his face.

"It's you!"

The black shadow stood upright, like a well-cultivated rich kid, the temperament and feeling that Snow Mark had once felt in the soldiers who came to inspect the village. A smile always hangs on their faces, and they seem to be very kind to people. The black shadow was also full of smiles, but there was an indescribable awkwardness in this smile.

"Now that you're really dead, what do you think?" asked the black "self".

"I ...... I ......" Snow Scar stopped talking, in fact, when he was almost sure that he was dead, his heart was already filled with a strong emotion, which he couldn't stop and couldn't contain.

That's regret.

He regretted that he had been so angry that he had the urge to die. I regret that I was not careful enough, fell into the trap of hunters, was seriously injured, regretted that I was careless in making friends, and credulously believed in business, and let myself be in danger. I regret that I didn't take my mother with me when I ran away from the village before. There are so many things to regret.

These regrets converge into a new pain, that is, reluctance to give up on my mother.

Xueji was raised by his mother alone since he was a child, in this troubled world of lack of materials, how difficult it is for a single mother to raise a child can be imagined, the mother and son have suffered a lot, but Xuechen has never seen the pessimism and despair brought by the weight of life on his mother's face, his mother always encourages Xueji, and has taught Xuechen a lot of life and life truths, his mother is the greatest person in Xuechen's heart, and the only person in this world who loves him.

Snow Scar once felt that as long as she could live by her mother's side forever, it would be the greatest happiness.

However, he escaped alone when something happened, and he accidentally fell into a trap to rescue his mother, and now he is dead, what can his mother do?

The painful emotions of regret and regret were mixed together, which made him depressed.

He wanted to vomit as soon as possible, but he felt that he couldn't say anything to the strange and strange black shadow in front of him. Although the black shadow behaved like a gentleman, it was still difficult to distinguish friend from foe, so in the end, Snow Mark still didn't say anything, only the pain in his heart distorted his expression a little.

"You regret it, you are in pain for not being able to save your mother. ”

"You...... How do you know?"

The shadow didn't answer the question of the snow marks, and he began to pace the empty space, leaving a black footprint on the snow-white ground with each step, and the footprint quickly turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated into the space.

"Regret is one of the most useful human emotions, and while it does nothing to help what has already happened, it can prevent tragedy from happening again. The black shadow said to himself: "It's just that most people have empty regrets, but they don't have a chance to do it again......"

The black shadow paused and looked at the snow marks: "Fortunately, you have." ”

Snow Scar was still immersed in the sadness of being dead, and for a moment did not understand the meaning of the black shadow.

"If you had a chance that would allow you to start over, to become a powerful being that surpasses all hunters, that you can crush all enemies, that you can save your mother, what would you be willing to give in exchange?"

"My everything!" Snowmark heard the turn in the dark shadow's words, and he said it without thinking.

If there is a chance to come back from the dead, who would not want to return to the world, and if they can save their mother, why not pay the price of their lives?

The smile on the black shadow's face became even stronger: "Very good, you have such an awareness, which means that I didn't choose the wrong person." ”

The shadow reached out and pulled something out of thin air as if it had been pulled out of some invisible box in the air, pulling out a glittering scroll.

The scroll hovered in front of him, as if on an invisible table.

The black shadow unfolded the scroll, it seemed to use a lot of strength, as soon as the scroll opened, it suddenly became full of golden light, filling the entire space, and at the same time, there was a trace of black qi emanating from the scroll, as if it was not a scroll that was opened, but a door to another world.

After a while, the golden light on the scroll faded, and Snow Scar could see the unrecognizable tadpole-like words carved on the scroll, and just glanced at those strange words, Snow Scar suddenly felt dizzy.

"Thank fate for this incredible opportunity. Out of thousands of people, you are the only one who has this opportunity. Come on, sign this contract, you will get a chance to do it all over again, and you will have more power than you can imagine. ”

The dark shadow pushed the scroll forward.
