Before a storm, it is often more peaceful than usual, quiet to the point of being a little eerie. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I waited quietly, but everything was surprisingly calm, and I couldn't help but feel the air monotonous and oppressive. I didn't want to do anything, so I lay on the bed with my clothes and looked at the white ceiling overhead. Looking at it, suddenly a strong sleepiness hit, and my upper and lower eyelids couldn't help but fight.

How could you suddenly be so sleepy? This is not normal, because my body, as long as I am in a state of concentration, rarely feels sleepy and tired. But at this moment, the drowsiness I experienced was simply irresistible, and I felt like I was falling asleep in a moment.

Strangely, the body is asleep, but the consciousness is still awake. All that my eyes could see changed all at once, as if I had fallen into another world the moment I closed my eyes under the control of sleep.

All at once it was dark, darker than any night I had ever experienced. And, knowing that I was dreaming, I really felt the cold.

It was very cold, as if suddenly falling from the golden autumn into the harsh winter of the northern country.

Fortunately, my body is now very tolerant, and I will not be limited in my mobility at such temperatures for a short time.

When I came back to my senses, what I saw had changed, from pure darkness to multicolor. There seemed to be a lot of huge transparent things floating around, like kites the size of fishing boats.

When I look closely, they seem to be alive, but they are shapes that I have never seen before, they are extremely rich in color, and they faintly emit a brilliant glow, illuminating the thick darkness as a background.

The most incredible thing is that the place where my feet are stepping on it does not seem to be the ground, but the invisible air. Floating colorful lifeforms floated not only above my head, but also under my feet in droves.

When you look down, you can't see the ground at all, and everywhere you look, there is nothingness. I don't even know what my feet are stepping on, because there is nothing under my feet.

I felt like I was standing in an endless glass ball, surrounded by fish, and the dark air was the water that enveloped us, cold to the bone, fantastical, and bewildering.

Suddenly, in the midst of the endless cold and silence, there was a flute sound.

The flute was not loud, but it pierced through the darkness and reached my eardrums and heart. The sound of the flute seemed to have a wonderfully calming effect, dispelling the cold in my body and the fear that had built up due to the strangeness of the environment. I looked in the direction from which the sound of the flute came, but was surprised to see a flat boat slowly approaching me from far and near.

In that small boat, the shadow of a man stood straight, black, slender and straight. Because the whole boat emits a hazy shimmer, it can be seen clearly even in the dark.

He played the piccolo and floated in a small boat to my nearness. The little boat, with no one to row or other power, could move freely on the "water" that didn't seem to exist.

The outfit is also very different from what you usually see. Although his face still looked the same, his hair had become very long, his crown was broad, and he was dressed in a black hat and black robe with rich decorations but a dignified color, and he looked like a wizard from ancient times.

Is this what is called thinking during the day and dreaming at night? I was waiting for him to come to the appointment, and when I was really anxious, he really appeared in my dream?

"Shining, get on board." Yan Fei took the flute away from his lips, and the flute sound stopped.

"Where?" I was amused that I had to talk to him in my dreams, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

"If you don't come up again, you'll be swallowed up by the waters of the River Styx."

I was taken aback - the waters of the River Styx?

The River Styx, which is the destination we are preparing to invade today, is it possible that dreams and reality are so closely compatible?

Before I could think about it, a cold hand suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me violently. I saw a flower in front of me, and when I saw it clearly, I found myself standing in the small boat that Yan Fei was riding.

There seemed to be some kind of magic in this thin boat, and when I stepped on the boat, my eyes suddenly became clear, and I saw the endless water under my feet.

The surface of the water is black and stationary, and its movement is not visible. With no shore in all directions, our boat seemed to be anchored in the center of the sea without wind or waves.

And those huge, colorful luminous floats are still floating around us as if the black water surface does not exist, as if they belong to two different spaces from the water.

"It's ......," I exclaimed.

"It's the River Styx." To put it succinctly.

Styx? Is it that we need to find a place?

I was shocked - could it be that I was not actually dreaming, but that this so-called dream was the entrance to the River Styx?

Seeing me looking at him in surprise, Yan Fei smiled faintly.

"Your qualifications are good, it didn't take too much effort to send you in, and it didn't take much effort to find you, it seems that I really didn't look away."

To put it this way...... Is it true?

If it's true......

"I ...... Am I dressed a little too informally? "I suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Seeing that Yan Fei was dressed solemnly and gorgeously, while I was wearing an ordinary linen home shirt, this contrast made people feel a little embarrassed.

"You don't care." "My identity is different, and I have to have the highest level of respect for this region at any level." ”

As he spoke, he laughed unconsciously: "Of course, I have already committed a big taboo by choosing to do this, and these external forms, no matter how you express them, are useless after all." ”

I suddenly remembered what the White Dragon had said before—the underworld is an independent realm that even the Protoss has no power to enter. That being the case, then Yan Fei, as the invisible ruler of the Demon God Dao, took me to invade the underworld like this, how can I think that it should have risked the condemnation of the world, right?

And, there's one more thing that strikes me as weird.

If the white dragon is locked under the River Styx, then how can he tell me that he doesn't know what the underworld is like?

Could it be that the white dragon himself never realized that he was confined to the bottom of the River Styx?

"Shining, don't be in a daze anymore, even if it's me, I can't support it for a long time in a place like the underworld, especially the River Styx is the place with the heaviest yin qi in the underworld, so our time is very limited."
