Chapter 8: The Gathering of Afflictions (3)

[Part1, Friendship of Glass]

Along the way, due to the dense fog and the racing of the locomotive, Cedar couldn't calm down and talk to the famous Deserter.

"Hahaha, Xiao Zhou, you can adapt to such a strong demonic aura, it's not easy!"

"Yes, yes......"

"Are you interested in learning boxing? How about the famous trick 'Soul Burning Fist'?"

"Uh......" was blown by the strong wind, and it took Cedar a lot of effort to understand, "Do ......you want to use fire?"

"Ah, damn it, if you accept the 'colorless general' as a disciple, it will be more face-saving, and it will be cheaper for Qingqing and Xin Li......" Wang Yanwu laughed heartily, "Okay, then you can only play with me as a gym......"

"Senior Lidi Yan wants to teach me a unique boxing technique?"

"Do you want to learn? I'm willing to teach! Ah, here we are. ”

Cedar opens her eyes that are swollen by the wind.

"Wow...... How to ......"

Dusk had just fallen, and the dim glow of the sunset peeked through the gaps in the rain clouds that were so thick that they almost stuck to the rolling hills, casting a dim and hazy glow over the city in front of them. And the demon capital that is so quietly stained by the dim light -

"Eh......"

It's not the ancient Chinese city that Cedar imagined.

Elegant and charming, as if carved by artists, the Western-style buildings shine silently in the dim yellow light with classical and restrained brilliance, like a celebrity in the twilight, slowly aging in time, but more and more attractive.

"Western style building in XC district. As if seeing Cedar's confusion, Yan Wu smiled, "The river called Lishui divides our demon kings into two, so we built the XC district into a Western-style, modern and well-equipped daily life area, while the Dongcheng district remains the original appearance as a semi-open administrative district. I'm going back to the ancient capital area in the east, Xiao Zhou, if you want to come over, you have to wait for the notice. ”

"That's ......"

"Come and listen," Yan Wu shouted to Harden and the others who flew in the dragon demon, "we can't accompany you on a tour of the city, we have to have a meeting." Go to the public and have a good rest. ”

"Boys, come this way with me. Bi Fang and Ruan Yanshan, who had fought with Harden before, waved at the intersection, and next to them stood Miss Weaving Pear Blossom, the "mourning weaver singer".

After the bigwigs left, Bi Fang and Yan Shan took everyone into a magnificent hotel for dinner.

However, this meal is not easy to eat...... The two demons who were in charge of leading the way quickly left, leaving a complex group of people, including the original Avenger dignitaries, the rebel magicians, and the disciples of the Emperor of the Courtyard, waiting silently for the meal......

(The atmosphere isn't quite right...... Cedar drank nervously and looked around at the silent crowd.

He thought that with a heartless person like Ivan, the atmosphere of the meal would quickly become lively. As a result, all Ivan sisters and brothers could do was to have a tearful confession conversation before taking their seats. Another accident was brought by Xue He, who was a little nervous about introducing her younger brother Jiang Yunhe, who was traveling with her.

"Uh...... Ivan," Cedar whispered to Ivan beside him, "Why did Harden go?"

"Detoxify, detox!" Ivan also replied to him quietly, "Harden, didn't he just play handsome and awaken his demonic nature? The poison of the bird is very powerful, and the poison of the demon is even more terrible! Harden is not even a half-demon, and he can't stand that kind of poison, and if he waits any longer, it will not be as simple as a stomachache, but a broken liver and intestines! 'The feather of an inch of broken feather' is not blown! So you have to clear your stomach......

I see...... Who told you to pretend, Cedar gloated while sympathizing.

It's hard to wait for a meal...... Cedar really wanted to say something, but now everyone was divided-the two brothers Xia Zhen and Xia Yu giggled and didn't care about others; Han Feng and Xiaohui seemed to be unanimous to the outside world; Cedar followed Selena and Ivan siblings, so naturally they couldn't integrate back into Han Feng and them; Alicia looked as awe-inspiring as Sister Paris; Zhaohua ...... Don't expect him to take the initiative.

"Do you want to add tea?" Ivan suddenly asked Han Feng sweetly, "Do you want to add tea?"

"Ah...... Uh, thank you......" Facing Ivan's bright smile, Han Feng was taken aback, and stiffly squeezed out a smile.

Falling into silence again, everyone sat and watched Ivan pour tea, racking their brains to find a topic.

At this time, Harden finally came back after solving the toxin problem, and he ignored Han Feng's strong hostility and sat down calmly.

But grandeur is magnificent, and such a desperate silence cannot be ignored. Finally, Harden turned his gaze to Han Feng.

"I heard you've participated in the Stone Puppet Making Contest?" he asked, completely uninterested.

Han Feng's gaze immediately flickered.

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Hui, who found the signs of danger, took the lead and responded with an exaggerated and elevated voice with a nervous smile, "The stone puppet made by Han Feng is very powerful! It is delicate and flexible! He won the second prize!"

Hearing the praise, Han Feng's mood was a little more relaxed. He snorted, as if he wasn't ready to care: "The making of stone puppets is an art, you are not an earth magician, you may not be able to understand it......"

"Second Prize......" Harden shrugged, "I've always felt that a person can do very well in anything as long as they are willing to learn. ”

"What do you mean?" Han Feng slapped the table in annoyance.

Why do you want to talk to Han Feng...... Cedar finally understood that counting on Harden to liven up the atmosphere was doomed to a tragic end.

"Hahaha, Harden is embarrassed to praise others directly!" Ivan hurriedly interjected, and Selena, who was sitting next to Harden, also hurriedly kicked Harden under the table, so Harden rolled his eyes and settled down.

"Well, Miss Alicia......" Cedar hesitated to say something, feeling that she still had to do something as the most honorable "colorless general".

"Just call me Alicia. Alicia gracefully put down the white porcelain teacup, and her voice revealed a kind of nobility and majesty.

"Ah...... Thank you when you were in Empaus...... You're a disciple of the Zhenmen Emperor, aren't you? The thunder and lightning magic is so strong!Zhenmen Emperor—what kind of demon is Wang Zhen's predecessor?" Xue Song asked with some anticipation, "Are he and Wang Yanwu's predecessors brothers?"

"Master is not Uncle Yanwu's own brother," Alicia smiled slightly, looking at Cedar curiously with her emerald eyes, "I'm also curious, what do you think my master will be?"

Cedar replied solemnly: "'Divine Might's Shocker' Wang Zhen's senior! Hearing such a domineering title and name, I immediately thought of a tall and burly knight with a cold and arrogant expression!"

Unexpectedly, Alicia would cover her mouth and laugh secretly, Cedar was stunned for a moment:

"Isn't that so? I also thought that my predecessor might be a lean old man who was stern and tall, and wore a Taoist robe......"

"I don't think that's the case!" Ivan also joined the conversation with great interest, "Cedar, you see Wang Yanwu's predecessor driving a heavy locomotive, that is not what we imagined the thousand-year-old demon king to look like! If this unconventional style continues, I guess Wang Zhen's predecessor will be a charming beautiful man who discharges electricity everywhere!"

"But I think he's going to be a grumpy, handsome uncle. Han Feng couldn't help but express his personal opinions.

"Alright," Alicia stifled a smile, "and you'll know then." Master will indeed surprise people, but what do you say, Ivan...... Didn't your teacher mention my master?"

"I didn't go into details, but I just mentioned that Wang Zhen's predecessors were so brave back then, and the whole battlefield was full of barbecue when he made a move...... "Ivan looked very hungry, and his eyes were full of fascination when he mentioned the barbecue, "...... Oh, no! it's a serious scene......."

"All cooked by electricity?" Han Feng's eyes widened in surprise amid a dark smile.

"Master didn't tell me about him. Alicia, who had been cold and lonely, laughed unexpectedly amiable and cute, "Recently, as soon as he called me, he said, 'None of the children who are going to enter the capital are from the Zhen faction (Zhen is the thunder and lightning in the gossip, referring to thunder and lightning spells), so disappointed', it seems that the emperor's predecessors want to take you as apprentices, and it will not be easy for you to enter this time." ”

"That's exactly what we're looking forward to!" Xiaohui's eyes sparkled, "Learn magic, become stronger, and work towards the goal of becoming the 'Heavenly Punisher'!"

Oh, the dreary atmosphere seems to be over, right? The delicate meal has been served, and Cedar is relieved.

- After meals

"Hey, I'm so full......," Xiaohui sighed contentedly.

The new companions have not yet been able to completely eliminate the estrangement, but they have finally begun to get along peacefully.

"Xiao Zhen, Xiao Yu," Han Feng hesitated to stop the two brothers who were hip-hopping, and the twins who were in their prime also smiled sweetly and looked at their former playmates.

"Later words...... Still friends, right?" Han Feng seemed to have made up his mind, and said in an awkward whisper.

The brothers looked at each other and smiled, nodding at Han Feng.

Cedar could feel the indescribable joy in Han Feng's relieved smile.

The name of the former ghost can still be erased under the sky that the Heavenly Punisher and the Courtyard have worked hard to prop up. Harden, Selena, Ata, Ivan, Hazel, Xia Yu, and Ryan, who is in charge of affairs in Seperos, can start over in this land that has not been infected by the dark forces, and use their strength to wash away the sins borne in the name of the Avengers.

"Jiang Xuehe, Jiang Yunhe," Cedar asked flatly when he heard Harden's voice, "Do you remember who I am?"

"Remember, we played together when we were kids," Xuehe's timid voice was more friendly and heartfelt joy than fear, "Sister Marys has become a heroine that everyone admires, and it's great that you have escaped the Avengers safely......"

Harden smiled faintly and didn't speak.

It seemed that his worries were unnecessary, and Cedar was relieved.

But is that really the case? Cedar didn't know that Harden's gaze was still cold and suspicious as he walked away with confidence.

- Harden

"Don't be too scary. Celle sat at her desk and whispered, looking at her because she didn't feel at ease with me.

"I'm measured. "Of course I know that I'm not here to kill those guys.

But we can't help but care about Zhang Zhaohua's matter.

Zhou Xuesong is a defenseless person, so if we don't pay attention, this matter will never be brought up until disaster strikes.

When Zhou Xuesong first told us the reason for the incident, several of us understood that the incident was definitely caused by Zhang Zhaohua, and Zhou Xuesong was just a pitiful and pathetic victim.

But we must find out what exactly Zhang Zhaohua is involved in this war, otherwise, if we relax our vigilance against him who is so quiet, it will lead to disaster.

"Harden, I'm in......" sounded hesitant and knocked on the door gently, with a faint voice of reluctance and fear, is this person Zhang Zhaohua, this is a little different from what I originally thought.

"Come in. "My voice doesn't sound very patient, even though I called him over, I'm not a kind person.

The door was gently pushed open, and Zhang Zhaohua peeked at my face with an uneasy expression, and walked in as if walking on thin ice.

My gaze must have been terrifying, and he frantically avoided my gaze and smiled reluctantly.

"Please be seated, Zhaohua. Sally smiled softly at him.

I'm still nervous, but it's just right, if I want to get rid of the tension, I'll call Ivan over instead of Sally.

Sally is my combat partner. That's right, I've been ready for battle for a long time, and if things don't go well, that's the only way. On the other hand, Sailly can also correct my impoliteness in time to make the conversation flow as smoothly as possible.

Of course, I will also smile gently: "Nice to meet you, Zhang Zhaohua." ”

"Ahh......h

Zhou Xuesong is an honest person who looks reassuring and consistent. But Zhang Zhaohua's words, I can't let down my guard yet.

Listening to Zhou Xuesong, Zhang Zhaohua is a top student. It can be seen that Zhang Zhaohua is a person who looks weak. But if you look closely, it feels different.

Zhang Zhaohua is not bad-looking, but he is not so much handsome as delicate, he is a guy who usually has a weak sense of existence and is timid and cowardly towards people. Now he furrowed his thin eyebrows, and watched Celie and me cautiously with a fearful gaze.

"Don't be too restrained, Zhaohua. Selie encouraged him to relax, but the time to ask him was probably before he relaxed.

"Zhang Zhaohua, have you been to another world before—or did you know magic before you came to the white world?" I fixed my gaze on him, and from now on I must see as much as possible through his hidden true heart.

He looked at me with a look of horror in his eyes and an expression of disbelief.

"Of course...... No, I haven't left my world...... Ah, magic is the power I've always longed for......" He replied in a panic as if he had done something wrong, then hung his head.

"Harden, you ......" seemed to have mustered up his courage, and he suddenly looked back at us with all his might, "What do you want to ask me? Is there anything I make you feel strange?"

It was like a question, with a little anger, but I immediately smiled brightly and nodded vigorously: "Yes, you are so strange!"

As if struck by lightning, he shuddered violently.

"Why?

"Zhou Xuesong was brought to the white world because of you, right?" Although it was ruthless, I had to ask everything I wanted to ask.

“...... That's right. He whispered in distraction, but immediately raised his voice, "But that's because I said the wrong thing and angered the Demon King, which—"

"No demon king is easily provoked by a small person," I make my voice oppressive, "and he chooses to do it because he thinks it is necessary and valuable." Although in his eyes, it is easy to send people to the other world, but it is definitely troublesome, don't you think so?"

He finally mustered up the courage to look me in the eye: "So what? Harden, you ...... Do you understand something?"

Oh, the voice and expression are surprisingly calm, and the momentum has all changed, as if a different person has changed in an instant, and it seems that the conversation can officially begin.

"First of all, how about the 'Silent Seal'?" I smiled and looked into his eyes, "Why can you operate in the Seal?" As far as I know, only creatures with magical powers can operate in the Seal, and ordinary people who want to move in the Sealed Realm must be accompanied by a high-level mage who can share the effects of magic power. ”

Zhang Zhaohua looked at me quietly, his calm and sharp eyes seemed to be staring at something invisible to ordinary people. In this way, he completely lost the feeling of passers-by, and his originally beautiful face became awe-inspiring, exuding a sense of silent coercion—like the black eclipse, the gentle and terrible fire of destruction that survived the endless sea of death.

"Harden, do you think I'm a high-level magician?" he said with a somewhat distressed smile, "I...... He's a useless person......"

That sense of coercion alone is not something that ordinary people would emit. I thought and continued: "I don't want to be hostile to you, but if you really have a lot of mana, it would be too insecure to remain silent, and you won't make friends." ”

He lowered his gaze worriedly, looking a little shaken: "I...... I don't know how to ...... high-level magic."

Of course, there are other possibilities besides this explanation. For example—" I continued to stare into his eyes, "the blood relatives are high-level magicians, and I happen to have this blood kin's magic paraphernalia with me......"

He jerked his head up in astonishment.

"If you have enough blood ties, at least twins, right?" I asked Zhou Xuesong during casual conversation, and he said that you have a twin brother......

"That's right. He smiled wryly and nodded slightly, "My brother is a very powerful magician......

"Really...... Is your brother the 'colorless guard'?"

Troubled by the question of my hot pursuit, he shook his head as a matter of course: "My brother is...... Unlawful Magus ......"

Oh, illegal magicians...... That is, the kind of magician who flouts the rules of the Magicians' Association, engages in forbidden research such as the creation of human demons, and in most cases commits evil deeds...... Speaking of which, when we were "ex-ghosts", we were also illegal magicians.

"Your brother's name is Zhang Zhao......"

"'Silk of a Hundred Styles'. He interrupted my questioning abruptly and firmly.

I was stunned for a moment. However, it's probably because the brother named Zhang Zhaoming is just an ordinary person, and the brother when he is titled "Hundred Styles of Silk" is a powerful magician.

"Your brother is nice to you, isn't he?" asked Sally softly.

"Without him, I would have died a long time ago. He smiled steadily, and seemed to trust and respect his brother.

"Why don't you say it, because it's an illegal magician?"

To my question, he smiled wryly: "Hmm...... Moreover, my brother is active in the Xuan World, so there is no need to say it...... After all, it won't help much, and I ...... I don't know much about my brother's situation......"

If so, it makes sense, but ......

"What does your brother study, do you know?"

"Water spells. You know, the Black Water Mystery is a world of water spells...... Of course, dark spells are also involved, so it should be ...... Beast Riders. ”

"Do you want to join the Ghost Mountain Demon Clan?"

"Ah...... No, he's not a ...... from Ghost Mountain."

"You chose a wind-based spell, don't you want to compare yourself to your brother in the same realm?"

"That's right, because I'm not as good as my brother...... And," he looked me in the eye, "if I specialize in different areas, maybe I can help my brother." Believe me, I have no ill intentions. ”

Oh, that's an interesting person. I looked at him, and then at Sally.

These two people have something in common. At first, it feels delicate, but slowly you can perceive the fortitude in its eyes. Seli, who looks like a young lady, always has a gentle and delicate appearance in her eyes that cannot be concealed, and she has the fortitude to withstand everything and overcome all hardships. And now, the same is true of Zhang Zhaohua, who has a dignified posture.

Didn't lie...... All right.

"Well, I believe you. I accept your claim. I nodded, "Your brother's business, if you don't want to say it, forget it, although I think it's better to say it." ”

He stared at me a little surprised, did he think my attitude was strange?

"I asked you from the perspective of my own safety, but now I can figure it out. Before you decide to partner with someone, you need to make sure that you can trust them. Zhang Zhaohua, let me explain first, if I find out that everything you said today is false, then as the price of betrayal, I will destroy you. ”

The sharpness in his eyes slowly faded, and the smile was still gentle: "I see." Although the eyes are terrible, you are a gentle person......"

...... Gentleness? That's something I've never been evaluated before. I still remember Atay's "princess and beast" when the teacher announced that I was partnering with Sally...... Oh no, it's a combination of a princess and a bird of prey, and Sally is going to suffer."

“...... Well, that's it, you can go back. ”

"By the way, just now Bi Fang's seniors said that they want to take us to see the night view of the Demon King Capital," Zhang Zhaohua's smile couldn't see any falsehood, "Get ready and wait for us in the hall, right?" I'm glad you can trust me, really! I'll go back first, I'll see you later!"

"Are we overly concerned?" I asked Selie as the door was closed.

"Maybe. But that's what we want. ”

"That's right, just get along like this, gather strength to deal with the demon king, it would be nice if you could do this. "That's what I expected.

- Corridor

Zhaohua walked briskly back to his room, quickly sat down and spread out the letter.

Tell my brother sooner, he just thought so excitedly.

"Brother, I'm still under suspicion. But it doesn't matter, they trust me. Although the trust that has been built now is still so fragile, like a glamorous but unclinched glass building, it is still in shape.

"I think the attitude of the Heavenly Punisher and the Passage House is tolerant, maybe, brother, you can also find a place to stay here and be free?"

He hurriedly finished writing, put the pen next to him, and looked out the window at the city with the lights blazing: "Hurry up and reply to me, brother." Although I know that no one trusts you, you will think that I am naïve, but my belief will not be so easily defeated by you and the Demon King......"

In his smiling eyes, the glass windows reflected the light. Yes, he and the others knew that this gathering would lead to suffering, but who would care? They were all convinced that their dreams would never be easily swallowed by the demon kings.

Part2, illusory high beam

【Dongzhou, Naruf Town, Abel】

The sun outside should be nice.

But I've learned what it's like to be numb.

I still remember that first night of suffering, and I can't imagine it was just a few days ago.

I still remember the whole process of the long dark night, the endless darkness slowly but surely fading little by little in the dawn, and the pearl-colored misty shimmer rose from the direction of the continent.

But...... I know that, too, because it's not a nightmare, so ...... Nothing will change!

Still, force yourself to try, close your eyes and run up the familiar ramp, where you feel the warmth of the light, feel the breeze and the shadows of the clouds, and force your brain to imagine that everything will be back to normal when you open your eyes......

Finally opened my eyes, and it was my Naruf who was soaked in the light—

The sky was still a soft blue. Through a magical barrier, the zombie seabirds that could not be seen clearly at night could now be seen clearly, and the desperate number was stacked into a surging black cloud wave that almost blocked the glazed blue of the sky.

Looking down, we Naruf have all kinds of cute and bright colored rooms like naughty children's graffiti...... There were patches of blood scattered there.

Looking down, the narrow street under the small ramp is always filled with the aroma of bread and milk, scattered with scraps of meat and rags of clothes that cannot be spelled out by the master's former spirit......

Then he suddenly lost the strength to stand and wept on the sunlit ramp. What about the daytime? Daylight allows us to see the sights of hell, and after the uneasiness of darkness has subsided, it brings sober despair with light!

Tears seemed to be pouring out again...... No, Abel, can't cry anymore!

There was a stunned breathing in his ears, and his gentle voice was full of worry: "I'm sorry, did I hurt you?"

“...... Sister Verma?" The memories were interrupted, and when I opened my eyes, I was still in church.

Ah, I'm hurt, it's Sister Verma who is treating me.

"It's me who is in ...... It's okay, thank you, nun......" I tried to straighten up, and the wound on my waist immediately tore and throbbed.

"Ah, don't move, Abel!" the nun hurriedly stopped me, her white hand wrapped around my waist, giving off a soft glow of white magic, "Is it better now? It will get better soon, but don't exercise too hard, although it looks intact, the wound will still crack open if you force it will—you've already relapsed once." ”

It was yesterday when I was dealing with the zombie seagull, and I was hit by the hot stones that flew in the battle.

I still remember the despair when I was wounded - after a long period of torture, everyone's spirits gradually weakened and collapsed, at first it was just to isolate and interrogate people with scratches and bites, and then it became suspected of being infected with corpse poison as long as it was bleeding, and when the wounds were slightly more serious, they swung knives at each other, and killing each other between companions became commonplace...... Things slowly turned irreparable.

Humanity is beginning to be tested, and that's not something I'm going to change if I don't admit it. While Beavis and his companions were on their way to me for treatment, some soldiers on patrol attacked me by saying, "How could this injury not be done by zombies?" I had heard the angry but hopeless excuses and questions of the Bivis until I passed out in agony and despair.

“...... Please forgive them," the nun lowered her eyes, as if she had seen through my thoughts, "and everyone was very nervous and very scared...... I know you're feeling bad, but please ......"

"Nun, I don't hate them......" The appearance of the group of soldiers looking down on me appeared in front of me, looking at my bloody wounds without any pity or sympathy, but on the contrary, with a look of disgust, which was like an explanation that "those who have lost their combat effectiveness are equivalent to waste", and I could not get rid of the heart-wrenching chill. I'm not hating, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of being abandoned because I'm weak!

The nun stared at me, smiling sadly and softly, like a goddess about to be wiped out by the demons, radiating a light that was about to melt in the despair that overwhelmed everything around her.

"Do you have a dream, Abel?" the nun suddenly searched eagerly for my answer with her beautiful blue eyes.

"Dream......" I smiled wryly, "the original dream was to stay in Naruf forever, to be peaceful and happy forever...... But now I have a new dream - to become stronger, so that I can protect everyone and protect Naruf!"

The nun looked at me in a daze, and then, suddenly, wiping her eyes with her hand: "Ah, I'm sorry...... Your dreams, both before and now, are as ...... as I am."

"Sister Verma......

"Come on, then, together!" the nun's smile was strong, "make a deal, Abel, let's all try to make our dreams come true, and if I fall before this, then my dreams will be entrusted to you!"

“...... Well, if I fall, then my dreams are entrusted to you, nun. I held her outstretched hand, "But we will all live well, we will witness the realization of our dreams, and we will be happy and alive in the future!"

"Come on. The nun nodded vigorously at me.

Straightening up my clothes up to my waist and picking up my broadsword again, I walked back to the battlefield.

The great hall of holy light, the carved walls of the saints, and the pale blue carpet of multi-patterned carpets, this tranquility is not something that can be guarded by prayer alone. We still have to rely on our hands to fight and protect all that is fragile.

"Brother. As if he had been waiting for a long time, Bivis stood in the sun and beckoned to me, "We are on the night shift, now let's go home, and then be on duty after dinner, don't let Dad worry." ”

Ah, we haven't been home since disaster struck.

"Finally approved to go home? Great......

"Also, my request has been granted, it's your pistol. He handed me the weapon in his hand, "There is a shortage of supplies, and in principle, magicians can no longer distribute conventional weapons. But I know you need this to match your magic sense. ”

Is my brother so capable and reliable......

"Thank you, Bivis. I patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go." ”

The gore along the way was disgusting as steaming in the sun, and it seemed ......

"There could have been so many tragedies in the sunshine as bright as ever...... Sunlight is still not enough to illuminate the darkness of the world. Beavis looked up at the distant light, and said with the same emotion as I thought.

"yes, but Bivis ......"

"I understand," he immediately stopped my persuasion, his gaze and smile so determined, "there is always light in my faith, so I am not afraid to fight." ”

So I laughed too. The afternoon sun cast softly on us, not making me feel warm, feeling distant and illusory. But I know that as long as I keep running towards the future, as long as the heart is alive, the light will exist!

I won't back down, because I still have dreams, and because it's my dream, I can believe that as long as I run forward, there will be a future!

- Demon King Capital, XC District, weaving seniors!" Xiaohui greeted the famous "mourning weaver and songwriter" weaving pear blossom with reverence.

"Good evening, kids. Just call me Pear Blossom," Ori Pear Blossom smiled through the pale golden thick demon mist and walked over the wide vermilion bridge, "Eat well tonight, right? ”

"Well, it's delicious!" said Xiaohui, cheerful as ever, "Miss Rika and the other seniors have finished their meeting? I can't see anything from the river embankment except the demon fog, so I really want to see the GC area!"

"You'll be able to get over soon. Pear Blossom looked back at the light that only the strong could reach, and the large expanse of spectacular flowing golden yellow looked seductive and illusory, urging people to move forward, "Where else do you want to visit tonight? I'm also familiar with the XC area, how about letting me lead the way?"

The light, the same distant illusory light shone before everyone's eyes. Most of them pursued their goals forward, rather than sinking in the darkness. Does the demon king who controls everything on the dome show a sad face at this time......

Teaser: "Forbidden things are not allowed to be spoken, however, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist......"

"So is that true......?"

"It's taboo. ”

"I ...... Very scared ......."

"That's right, everybody's scared. It is a dark legend and the beginning of the catastrophe that has eroded us. Every time that season of calamity, we face that nightmare all over again. Failed, they have been calling for thousands of years - 'Let me be born again'......"

Part II: The Gathering of Suffering (4) - The Hidden Darkness.
