"Brother, come and play with me. The sound came from nowhere, softly, like a smart stream flowing slowly through my heart.

The boy blinked, and there was a blur of mist around him, and what he saw in his eyes was white.

"Zi'an, Zi'an, why don't you speak, don't you want to play with me?" In the confused white mist, there seemed to be a figure flashing by, and Di Zi'an disappeared before he could react. "Who are you, why do you know my name?" the boy looked around,

"Have you forgotten," the misty voice seemed close and distant, "didn't you just stab someone, but it hurts." ”

What is the time, wait, if you stab with a gun...... Dizian (?д?;) "Damn, are you serious?"

The white mist around him suddenly glowed with blood, and a dark shadow like a thick shadow rushed towards him from behind the mist, and a huge whistling sound surged from all directions, like the wails of thousands of people. The image shattered, and the boy sat up from the bed, gasping for breath. It took him a while to recover, and the boy fell back on the bed like he lost his strength, and it was still pitch black outside the window, he pulled the half-quilt that had just been kicked off the bed, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep again.

"Time is running out. ”

This is not the first nightmare in the past few days, after experiencing that strange and absurd journey like a dream, Di Zi'an really felt that something abnormal was happening in his body.

The first was the azure mark on the back of his hand, which was silently engraved on his skin like a tattoo most of the time, without any strange appearance, but every time he approached his ancient parchment, the mark on the back of his hand would become hot, and the stinging sensation like being burned by fire would announce its presence. Therefore, Zi'an probably understood the origin of the parchment scroll, which was probably a relic left in this world by travelers who had been to the rune world.

Yes, there are travelers in the world you live in, and the current Dizi'an is extremely sure of this.

And this is also another change that Zi'an found in himself, when he concentrated, he could see a little bit of light lingering on the surface of the item, just like the clear water with a white and bright light, silently highlighting the spirituality of the item itself, the more dazzling, the stronger the spirituality. In Di Zi'an's small collection, except for the parchment scroll, which was surrounded by a halo like a curtain of water, only the small silver dagger could reveal a pale blue glimmer in the field of vision. Other objects contain at most a faint speck of light on the surface.

In the early morning of the day, it is often the time when his own spirituality is the most overflowing, whenever this time, Di Zi'an will involuntarily enter the state of "spiritual vision", with blue eyes sleepy eyes to look at this quiet world, so in the dust, all kinds of fluorescent, exquisite and transparent flickering in all corners of the field of vision.

The so-called animism of all things, spirituality is natural, this is a world with sufficient spirituality, which is different from the rune world where the fire is extinguished and the spirituality withers. Such a world is the soil where travelers are born, so Zi'an can be sure that in unknown corners, there must be walking travelers silently watching over this blue planet. They may go down in history, they may not be known, they may not be traced, they may be unpredictable, but they all have the same name, travelers.

And now, I'm one of them. The young man said to himself, half-proudly, half-humbly, though he was only a trainee traveler.

But Dizi'an did not or did not dare to forget his mission, and after witnessing the self-dedication of the traveler Ilda, a sense of urgency spurred him on all the time. Once the fire ignited by Ilda's sacrifice is extinguished, the rune world will perish, and the mark of fire that he has will lose its effect and return to the ordinary again. What's worse is that Di Zi'an finds himself seemingly targeted by something.

Whenever the night comes, I fall asleep, I will always continue to enter the same dream, the dream is filled with white mist, at the beginning it is just like this, it lasts until I wake up, and then slowly, I will hear a soft murmur or whisper in the fog, very soft and soothing, but no matter what, I can't hear clearly, and this time, only the past four nights, I can already talk to it clearly,

The subsequent scene changes should be their own stress reactions, after all, the pictures experienced in the rune world left too deep memories for themselves. But this is a sign that something is entangled in him, most likely some kind of life in the etheric realm, because he was captured when he traveled back and forth between the current world and the rune world.

As for why the dream is so obvious to the eternal trauma of Imoku, Zi'an can only attribute this to the fact that the thing left a too terrifying impression on himself, after all, Ilda also said that although Imoku has an extremely noble spirituality and incomparably powerful power, the essence is the aggregation of thoughtless thoughts, and the instinct of devouring dominates the action.

In any case, that is not a good sign, especially for such a weak trainee traveler like himself, his own spirituality is too weak, and many times he will be powerless in the face of this otherworldly erosion. But one thing is for sure, what we need to do now is to do everything possible to improve our spirituality and person, and if we are spiritually raised, we will naturally be able to resist all kinds of erosion from external objects, both physically and mentally.

So how do you improve your spirituality? Is it okay to absorb the spirituality of everything in the world?

The answer is yes, but it requires a specific ritual, a very special ritual, and Di Zi'an is helpless in this regard, those traveler organizations with a deep heritage may have the means of how to improve his own spirituality through the spirit of all things, but where can he go to find such an organization, and even if he finds it, why should others teach you such an important method.

So can devouring spiritual things have an effect?

No kidding. First of all, his own species is a human being, and it is not a legendary life such as gluttony or Fenrir, the source of life has the ability to devour all things, and secondly, it is a person, and it is not a small thing to eat when it grows so big, and I have not seen anyone who eats and eats to the sky and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun, metabolism, material circulation, and the transmission and operation of the spirit have deeper laws.

Then it seems that there is no way, but it is not really.

Zi'an, who woke up again, sat up from the bed, and the intrusion of nightmares for several nights made his expression a little sluggish, which seriously affected his sleep quality, he picked up the mobile phone at the bedside, opened the most frequently followed penguin group at the top, and searched through the chat records of netizens page by page, until he saw a picture posted by a netizen whose ID is called "Pharaoh's half",

The picture is a roll of brown paper that looks like a bamboo mat, on which is written from the most ancient civilization, hieroglyphs, that is, the Coptic script of later generations, and now occasionally can be seen and used in some religious ceremonies in Egypt, the paper material is naturally not bamboo, but a magical plant unique to the Nile Delta region in ancient Egypt, called papyrus, this paper is also simply and crudely named papyrus, which means the property of the pharaohs, in fact, because of its single source, it is indeed monopolized by successive pharaohs。

Di Zi'an knows some things about this netizen, he is a professor in the history department, and he is studying the cultural history of ancient Egypt, something similar to papyrus, even if he just borrows it.

Yes, this professor is also a member of the "Tarot Council" of the penguin group, but many of his research directions are related to the "Book of the Dead" and "The Jade Book", and he is the authority on the knowledge of ancient Egyptian civilization in this group. Two days ago, the professor showed the brown papyrus he had borrowed from the museum in the group, and Di Zi'an felt the fluctuation of his own spirituality for no reason the moment he saw the picture, which meant some kind of opportunity, his own opportunity.

This is the unique characteristic of a small number of creatures that awaken their spirituality and can observe themselves, and when they encounter some kind of "promotion" opportunity by chance, their own spirituality will perceive and remind them.

"Ancient Egypt," Muttered Dizian, "it seems that we must make a trip to the professor's house as soon as possible." ”

Ancient Egypt, the first of the four ancient civilizations, that is,

The place where alchemy began.
