Chapter Fifty-Eight: An Encounter in the Cracks of the World
A courtyard, a small courtyard in the midst of endless darkness, radiates a gentle glow. Unconsciously moving his steps, like a moth chasing the light in the darkness. Click, click, click, I seem to be walking on a country road after the rain, muddy, there are invisible puddles everywhere, pop, click, my own seems to be soaked in water, a little wet and strange. Luckily, the courtyard wasn't too far away and it was soon closer. There is a white staircase in front of the courtyard, and this is the entrance.
What is this? I looked down and saw that I was covered in black mud, but I couldn't say that anymore, it was more like some kind of unconscious creature tugging at my body to keep myself from leaving the quagmire, don't, don't, stretch out my hand and yearn for that light, I want to go there! At the moment when the consciousness was swallowed up, a strong light suddenly illuminated the eyes, and the black mud that wrapped around him quickly retreated like a nemesis, the soft light did not hurt himself, and there seemed to be a hand stretched out in the blur, and he subconsciously longed to poke himself out, holding it tightly, exerting force on each other, and it felt really good to get out of the black mud.
"Hello, where are you from?" The soft voice was like the whisper of the wind on the plains covered with night flowers, and in the soft light, the girl had a delicate cheek, almost like a jewel of the world created by top artists, sculptors, and visionaries. Her long bright red hair dragged to the ground with a little natural curl, and on her head there were two horns on her head that looked like white feathers gathered together, like the shape of a demon's horn. Then there was a pair of cyan eyes with no focal length, and there was no trace of emotion.
"Hello, I'm from..." A certain feeling came to my mind, called fear, and I didn't know anything about myself!
"You must be hindered by your memory, come in with me first. The girl dragged her sloppy dress and walked in front of her to the depths of the courtyard, around which was surrounded by a white balustrade, and there was a pond with a blue tinge, in which lotus flowers grew? The girl led her and sat down on the bed, "Do you know your name?"
Name?my name?what is my name?what is my name?what am my name?
The girl shook her head, "It seems that there is some trouble, have you provoked anything?" the girl reached out and pressed her cheek, "And the person who sent you in is very strange, and he protected you from the slightest harm, and he wiped you out in a thought, it seems that you were put here as a hostage or something, and if the negotiation is successful, you should get out soon." ”
Who is the hostage?self?who's the hostage?
"Don't be cranky yet, the result is not predestined, maybe this will be your last time?"
And finally, am I going to die? What is death? Is it something terrible?
The girl smiled lightly, "It seems that you are still a very important bargaining chip in negotiations, and even the concept of your death has been erased." ”
Where is this? Can I know? And who are you?
"Here?" the girl's expression darkened, "This is the gap between the world, the borderless land, every hundred years, when the sun and moon alternate at dusk, this place will open once, and I, I am an existence abandoned by the world." ”
Abandoned? Have you been abandoned by something?
"No, it's just that the world can't accommodate me. At the same time as the girl raised her head, two thin things like cicada wings opened and shook gently from both sides, and a pair of crystal gelatinous feathers on her back opened, and the almost transparent blue feathers were dotted with a little red, if you look closely, you will find that those red dots are like eyes!" "I am a son of gray, a combination of taboo and taboo, no one world can tolerate me, no world can accept me, so I was rejected by the world to the crack of this world, and was abandoned to this borderless land. ”
Sorry, I shouldn't have asked.
"It's okay, thanks to you, I haven't spoken for a long time, for a long, long time, I don't know how long, because there is no rotation of the sun and moon here, only when the gap is opened, there will be some spiritual air flowing in, that's when I know, another hundred years have passed outside. ”
Don't go out?
"Can't get out. ”
Lonely?
"I want to die but don't have the courage, the message my parents left me is to live, so I can still be in front of you now. ”
Can you tell us about your parents?
"From the memory inheritance, my parents themselves are taboo existence, but their taboos can also be recognized by the world through a strong self, knowing that one day they met, if you want to say that this enemy should not meet, the last thing to meet is probably my parents, some people are curious, what will be born of the two taboos? Under various arrangements, the parents are naturally combined, and then pregnant... Gave birth to me after ten years of pregnancy. On the day I was born, all the masterminds behind me came out, just because I was born as a gray child for whom even the heavens and the earth roared, and legend has it that once I appeared, it was the beginning of the end of the world. My parents have great power, desperately sent me out, I was born with a memory inheritance, so I have been running away, I have been avoiding, I know, just because I am taboo, I am the beginning of the end, that is, I was a child at the time. ”
You have great parents.
"Maybe," the girl chuckled softly, and the smile was really good-looking. "In the end, by chance, I hid here until today. ”
Thank you.
"Why do you want to say thank you?"
You saved me before, how can I repay you?
"I've been talking to me for so long, I'm glad that maybe no one will come again, and you'll be a part of my memory. ”
I don't want to be just a memory.
"When you get out alive, you'll forget everything here. ”
Why?
"As for why, it's because..." The girl looked up and saw something, "Your time is up, it seems that the negotiation has been successful." ”
Behind him, a huge palm phantom poked down, and the goal was clear, and he directly grabbed himself out of the courtyard. Turning her head, the girl smiled and waved to herself. I won't forget.

Reality.
Xiao Yu woke up from her slumber and stretched her waist like a cat, "I'm so sleepy, what's wrong with me, woo~"
"Wake up, little lazy bug. Looking up, Chen Yu pointed at the tip of Xiao Yu's nose.
"You're a lazy worm. Xiao Yu pillowed his head on his thighs and refused to get up, which felt very comfortable, but there was a little emptiness in his heart.
"What's wrong? Chen Yu observed very keenly.
"I had a dream, but I forgot it. Xiao Yu left the confusion behind.
"If you can't remember it, you will remember it one day. "Chen Yu is not like ordinary people, just say and forget it.
"Maybe, maybe it's a good dream. ”
"yes, a good dream. Chen Yu said silently, remembering that when he found Xiao Yu's soul from an unexpected place, he met another interesting creature.
In the middle of the endless darkness of the world, a tall and thin being with wings on his back and black and white cloth wrapped in strips of cloth all over his body, one eye is light and the other is dark. One of its wings shone as bright as a star, and the other was deeper than the darkness of the abyss. He floated in the air and asked the girl in the courtyard below, "What's your name?"
"Me?" replied helplessly, "my name was not told to me by my parents at the last minute, so I don't know. ”
He held out his hand, "Are you going to get out of here, go to a world where you don't reject you, and you can live life to the fullest." ”
"Really?" a hint of hope rose in the girl's heart, after all, people who could come and go in and out of this space at will must be able to do many things that she once thought was impossible.
"It's just that there aren't any primate creatures in that world. ”
"Okay, just get out of here. ”
As soon as the girl's voice fell, a door opened.
"Behind the door is that world. ”
"Why?"
"You saved her, didn't you? So I think I can do something trivial. ”
"Thank you. The girl pushed open the door without looking back, and walked into the unknown world.
