Chapter 18: Waiting

I don't know how long I walked under the gaze of this invisible monster, and before I knew it, the whistling sound beside Lu Lie disappeared.

“?”

The sound of hoo ha has been heard for a long time, and it is really unaccustomed to disappearing all of a sudden. It wasn't until he followed the zombies forward for a while that Lu Lie reacted.

"The wheezing is gone?"

Lu Lie pricked up his ears to carefully identify the sounds around him, he was really afraid that he was thinking too much, and that voice would sound again when he was most happy.

But after a long time, in the dark abyss, there was no sound except for the noise of nearby zombies stepping on the tree wall.

"That monster isn't following me anymore?"

"That monster has finally changed?"

"Hahaha, hahahaha, bastard, let you fucking follow me. Now I finally found the domineering spirit of Lao Tzu, hahaha, dog thing. You should rejoice that you ran away before Lao Tzu's patience reached the limit. If you really provoke Lao Tzu to the point where you can't bear it anymore, you will definitely regret it!"

"Li Yuan," Lu Lie whispered in his heart, "You can help me take a look again, that bastard who is barking like a pug, who is going to trouble now?"

And once, Li Yuan's voice was silent for a long time before it sounded in his ears: "That monster...... It seems to be gone. I couldn't find it in the crowd, it was out of my sight. ”

There was hesitation and hesitation in his voice, as if he was not sure of his own judgment.

"Hmm, could it be that my domineering aura is too strong to scare this monster away?"

Although Lu Lie was thinking so much in his heart, as a guy who had faced countless life and death situations and strange things, his vigilance would never be so low. On the contrary, Li Yuan's hesitant answer gave him a bad omen, and the fist in his hand had been quietly clenched, just waiting for any wind and grass around him, and then swung his fist up.

There was silence except for footsteps.

There was silence......

Quiet......

"Lu Lie, have you forgotten my existence?"

When the faint female voice sounded in Lu Lie's ears, Lu Lie almost felt that all his blood was rushing to his head. At that moment, he felt that his hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't move at all. It turns out that a person is terrified to the extreme, shocked to the extreme, and really can't move. Even if there were 100,000 Huangquan giants in front of him at the same time, or a thousand Yao dancing seaweeds in the distance, it would be impossible for him to lose his temper so much. But this female voice did it.

......

She's testing me......

This was Lu Lie's first reaction.

But why is it her......

Was she the first one who killed herself in the abyss......

Is she the one who pretended to be Li Yuan and went down into the abyss with herself for the second time......

Why did she stop herself from entering the Yellow Springs Sea?

Could it be that everything he saw in the Tower of Despair was real......

All of a sudden, countless thoughts frantically rushed to Lu Lie's head, and too many doubts and incomprehensions made his train of thought almost freeze. But even so, Lu Lie still did not forget his disguise, and continued to move forward like an ordinary zombie.

It's just that the heart has set off turbulent waves.

"She's testing my ......"

When Lu Lie's rumbling head came back to his senses a little, he immediately made such a judgment.

"That's right, she must be testing me......"

"Even she couldn't have accurately found herself among so many zombies. She's just looking for a random zombie, just asking. But if she had any incongruous behavior at that time, it would arouse her suspicions. ”

With this in mind, even if he felt that the invisible monster was beside him, looking at him close to his body, Lu Lie still waved his arms indifferently, moving along the unique rhythm of zombies.

It's a pity that all this is just Lu Lie's wishful fantasy after all.

He felt the sharp, massive blade slash through his body like a she-brown bear stroking her beloved toy: "Yes, what you see in the Tower of Despair is the truth. Do you know how desperate and helpless I was when I woke up alone in that place after you were gone? I tried to get out of there on my own, but after countless failures, I had to resign myself to my fate...... At first, I wanted to use the most violent form of the arcane art to open up the passage, but in that environment, I found that I couldn't feel the slightest bit of Qi at all. The Mystic was no different from a normal little girl in that situation. Then I started to scratch with my fingers, and smashed hard objects nearby, but it was just a comical dying throes! Can you understand the fear and helplessness?"

Now, Lu Lie knew that he no longer had any sense of disguise.

He slowly stopped, breaking away from the tide of zombies that were advancing mightily.

"I'm sorry. Lu Lie said softly.

Anyway, that's what he owes her. She came to collect debts, and since she couldn't hide, she wouldn't hide.

"You don't need to be sorry," the huge invisible monster showed a weird smile in the air, and continued to stroke Lu Lie's hair with its huge blade palm, "Actually, it's not that difficult. In the first year or two, I fantasized that you would come back and save me. O my sweetheart, one day he will remember that the girl in his heart is still trapped somewhere in the giant tree, and he will return to her through countless dangers and dangers, and say to her, you have suffered. ”

"For the first two years, I waited for you with confidence. ”

"In the years that followed, I began to feel miserable and a little lost. Maybe you're too busy to forget about me. I'm starting to complain about you, but if you're willing to show up with me at this time, I'll forgive you unconditionally. ”

"Over time, a certain part of my body began to alienate and become a monster. I'm still waiting for you. I started to get scared. My fear is not that you have forgotten me, but that there is not much time left for me. If you don't show up in front of me again, I don't know what will happen next. ”

"It's been a long time and you still haven't shown up. At that time, I thought, I hate you, I really hate you, I want to kill you little by little, eat your flesh and blood, but if you appear in front of me, I know that I will definitely forgive you. ”

"It's been so long that I've almost forgotten my memories of being human, but what about you? I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you still haven't shown up. ”

"Finally, I had to accept the fact. You really, really, really, completely forgot about me. ”

"Now, guess what I'd do if I saw you?"

Lu Lie said softly, "I'm sorry. Over the years, you have suffered. ”

"Suven. ”
