The cousin and the blind man lay quietly in the sarcophagus, their bodies covered with dust, and their faces pale and bloodless. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I expected them to wake up like I did, but it was just my self-deception, and as the minutes ticked by, they were like the candles that burned out, and their lives had since faded into the underworld.

I don't know what they went through, but I can imagine from my cousin's broken clothes and the blood marks on his chest that he had made a last effort for his life.

If life is nothing but a contract in the hands of death, if fate is just a puppet under God's crotch, then the path to truth is a railroad to hell and self-destruction.

If this is the case, eternal sleep is the only way to resist.

The soul returns to the yellow earth, and no longer be anyone's pawn.

I stretched out my left arm, looked at the red birthmark on my wrist, and suddenly wanted to laugh, wondering if someone would come to watch for me after I died.

Mourning is greater than the death of the heart, what a true word, just like me at this time, there is no hope of life.

Leaning on the sarcophagus and removing the short knife from my waist, I took a deep breath, the white blade slowly slashed across my wrist, it didn't hurt at all, blood churned in the beating pulse.

I lowered my arms and let the blood run to my fingertips, dripping to the ground in place of my own tears, which had long since dried up.

The chill hit, I felt a lot more relaxed all over, and the pressure that had been there for a long time dissipated instantly, and I slowly closed my eyes.

…………

"Brother!"

A crisp cry shattered the dream I was about to enter.

I opened my eyes and saw that the ground was dark red, the blood on my wrist had already congealed into a blood scab, and not far away, a green coat staggered towards me.

"Brother......!" The little bell threw herself down in front of me with tears in her eyes, and pulled the cloth band from the corner of her coat to help me wrap the wound around my wrist.

I slammed to my feet, dizzy and angrily pushed the little bell away, yelling at her, "Get out! You're not Little Bell and you're not my sister!! ”

Little Bell fell to the ground on her back, and the tender skin on her arm rubbed bloodshots, and my heart ached, she was so weak.

At that moment, I suddenly felt the urge to come forward and pick her up, but the anger in my heart made me cast a cold look at her.

"Brother......" The tears of the little bell burst out of her eyes,

I know it's not for the pain.

"When you say carving a boat to ask for a sword, you are throwing away your companions and rowing away by yourself, right?" I asked coldly.

"Yes."

"You're saying we're not trapped, hehe, the outside of the compartment is the cage!"

"Yes."

"You're deliberately procrastinating for what?"

"For the sake of ...... You. ”

"No, you don't! Have you forgotten what we agreed to before we came? Either we will be born together or we will die together! ”

"But......" The little bell silently lowered her head, unable to see her expression.

The thought of my cousin and the blind man passing away forever made me angry and interrupted the little bell's words: "There is nothing to do! What exactly are you? ”

The little bell slowly raised her head and looked at me, expressionless, without saying a word.

looked at each other again, but this time, there was no longer any emotion, and the woman in front of her, every word and deed, was ruining our once beautiful past.

I still remember when she was twelve years old, she came to me for the first time and said in my ear that I was here to find Chen Tu and Zhu Hong's brother.

Since then, she has been the most beloved person in my life for my cousin and me.

"Speak, what is your identity?" I raised my voice again.

The little bell stood up, her lips moved, and she didn't say a word, tears falling down her cheeks on the pale blue floral dress, but a big smile appeared on her face.

"I'm your little bell!"

The lobby echoed with a warm voice, and the little bell turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

…………

I don't know how long it took for me to come back from my trance, and I don't know when, my eyes welled up with tears.

Selfish, I thought that fate could be swayed and I could leave the West, but I never thought that life also belonged not only to me, but also to those around me who loved me, and needed me to give them a final answer.

Either fight to the death, or change your life against the sky, martyrdom is not greatness, it is a manifestation of selfishness and cowardice.

At this moment, I realized how profound my father's sentence of a man should learn to stand up to the sky and the earth.

I looked at my cousin and the blind man, their eyes were closed, their faces were serene, and the strife of the world had nothing to do with them, and I would let me do the rest, or I would soon come down to accompany them.

At my wrist, the strip of cloth on the corner of the little bell's coat swayed, and I strode towards the exit of the black hole in the darkness.

Suddenly, a long cough behind me made me freeze in place, and when I looked back, green light slowly rose from the burned-out candle remnants, and the blood in my body boiled violently with the light.

Before he could calm down, his cousin rolled out of the sarcophagus and rolled to the ground, followed by the sound of a blind man yelling.

"Cousin!"

I ran away with almost all my strength, letting the dense sarcophagus hit my legs, and the shock completely believed the pain.

My cousin struggled to stand up, and immediately put on a fighting posture again, and shouted at me: "Loach, don't come here, run!" Get out of this tomb! ”

Then my cousin and the blind man stumbled towards me, both with fear on their faces.

The blind man panted as he ran and said, "Where is this?" Are we dead? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, get out of here!" The cousin scolded weakly.

I was so dazed by what I saw that I couldn't say anything, and my cousin pulled me and ran towards the dark exit in the distance.

Running away from the sarcophagus area and coming to a clearing near the exit, I stopped, grabbed my cousin's arm and said, "Don't run, there's no danger here!" ”

"This tomb is full of invisible monsters, and they only appear when they come to you, haven't you encountered them?" My cousin gasped.

"Let's get out quickly, there's no way to survive here!" The blind man also urged.

Suddenly I didn't know what to say, and I had been hiding in a safe compartment with Little Bell, leaving them out and falling prey to the demons.

And the person who deliberately triggered the mechanism was the little bell.

"I ...... It was also dragged here by the slimy monster. I didn't want to go any further, so I said, "I thought you were dead!" ”

Actually, what I want to say is that you all died just now.

Of course, my cousin didn't know, so he patted me and said, "Your body is fine, how can I die!" By the way, what about the little bells? ”

"Little bells?"

I was immediately asked, not because it was difficult to answer, but because it was a premonition in an instant, like a steel needle, pierced deep into my heart.

"Didn't Little Bell come with you?" The blind man also asked.

"Little Bell ......"

I stood still, a pain in my chest, and my thoughts were rushing through my heart like a tidal wave.

The words he heard before he lost consciousness, the tearful smile that little bell had when he left, and the cousin and the blind man came back from the dead......

What exactly does the little bell do?

I looked at the pale blue piece of cloth wrapped around my wrist, and my head was dizzy, and I kept shaking and shaking, and my whole body trembled.

"What's wrong?" My cousin's voice was choked, and tears were flashing in his eyes, because we didn't need words to feel each other's hearts.

"Little bell her...... She...... There's no going back. ”
