Dark, suffocating.

When Leach regained consciousness, he found that it was pitch black in front of him, and if it weren't for the clear suffocation in his chest, he would have even mistakenly thought that he had died in a sandstorm, and now he was in the so-called afterlife.

Now that he knows that he is not dead, the first thing to do is to find out where he has been, and where Saya and Kumar have gone.

But when Leach tried to stand up, he was surprised to find that his body seemed to be disobedient, and no matter how he gave the order, he still couldn't move.

"No......" Leach panicked at the thought that he might be paralyzed.

Just when he was in a panic, he suddenly found that his body moved.

Although he couldn't see, Leach could clearly feel his body shaking and his limbs waving wildly. However, to his surprise, all these movements were not of his own intention, as if they were a spontaneous instinctive reaction of his body, and were not under his control at all.

The strange phenomenon that happened to him caused Leach to forget the fear of being alone in the darkness for a while, and he began to slowly feel the environment he was in.

There was a sticky feeling around him, which made Leach tell that he seemed to be immersed in some kind of liquid.

Wait, sticky? No, it seems, it seems, it seems, it seems...... Huh, where did you come from?

After a trance, Leach always felt that he shouldn't be in this kind of place now, but when he thought about it, he felt that he was here and had not gone anywhere.

In the entanglement, Leach found that his body was shaking more and more, and when he was wondering what was wrong, he suddenly felt a whirlwind around his body, and it didn't take long for it to shake violently, and then a narrow and twisting light suddenly appeared in the darkness in front of him.

"It's finally time to get out!" said Leach for no reason.

Then Leach saw that the light was getting wider and wider, completely illuminating the entire space.

Subconsciously, Leach closed his eyes, and when his eyes adjusted to the light and reopened, Leach found several giants in front of him.

The giants' faces seemed to be covered in a mist that made it difficult for Leach to see what they really looked like, and he himself was being held in the palm of one of the giants.

"They seemed to be happy. Although he couldn't read their expressions, Leach could feel their emotions.

Intrigued, Leach began to look around him, and then he saw a small, white hand dangling not far from his head.

"It's ......," Leach was puzzled, but then he understood, "it turns out that they are not giants, but that I have become smaller." ”

"Huh, why do I say I'm getting smaller?" a new question arose, but before he could figure out why he had such thoughts, Leach saw the "giant" holding him in his hand carefully placing himself in an animal skin swaddling cloth, and striding towards another wave of "giants" not far away.

The new "giants" were also unable to see their appearance, and as they got closer, Leach noticed that all the giants were staring diagonally upward. I couldn't say why, but Leach knew they were staring intently at something.

Following their gaze, Leach spotted an old tree that was about to wither.

The trunk of the old tree had been hollowed out, and almost all the leaves on the branches had fallen off, like an old man who was about to die, and his body exuded a dead air.

But on one of the thickest branches, two white fruits the size of babies hung on them, the only place in the whole old tree that still exuded vitality, and the eyes of all the giants were gathered on those two white fruits.

The eyes of the "giants" were mixed with anticipation and a hint of trepidation, and Leach didn't know what the two white fruits meant to them, but it seemed that under the influence of the "giants", Leach's heart also became apprehensive.

As if a century had passed, the two white fruits finally shook slightly.

The "giants", whose expectations had gradually dimmed, seemed to shine again as if they had been in a drought for a long time, and Leach could see them dancing excitedly, but he could not hear any sound strangely.

But Leach couldn't think about why this was happening, and all his attention was drawn to the two white fruits on the branches. Under his gaze, the fruit shook more and more, and finally, when the shaking reached the extreme, the two fruits broke free from the old tree one after the other and fell to the ground.

The fruit fell to the ground, and the dead air on the old tree became more and more intense, if it was dying before, then now it is dying, but the vitality is not completely cut off.

The "giants" surrounded them at the first time, and Leach saw two "giants" coming out of them, squatted down with a little trepidation, put his hands on the fruit, and carefully exerted force.

Not long after, the two white fruits were broken, and Leach was surprised to find that among them were two baby girls carved in pink. What puzzled Leach the most was that he could clearly see the faces of the two baby girls!

Leach didn't know why this was the case, but at the first sight of them, he had a particularly intimate feeling, as if they had known each other for a long time, and it was a familiarity that came from the soul.

Although he wanted to come forward to investigate, he was held tightly in his arms by the "giant" and couldn't move at all, and the two baby girls were also held in the arms of the "giant" for the first time, and it was even more impossible for him to do whatever he wanted.

The purpose of the "giants" gathered here seems to be to welcome the three little beings, including Leach, and after making sure that all three little ones are safe and sound, the "giants" leave the place together.

......

There was another trance, and when Leach came back to his senses, he found that the "giants" were no longer tall, some of them were not even as tall as himself, but he still couldn't see their true appearance, and the world was still the silent world.

"Who am I? Where is this?" When he came to his senses again, he found that he seemed to have forgotten something again, but he was indifferent to what he had forgotten, and did not want to inquire into it in the slightest.

From time to time, the "giants" would say something to him, and although he felt motionless as a piece of wood in perception, his body seemed to be talking to the "giants" automatically.

He noticed that the "giants" around him seemed to be very respectful to him, which made him more and more puzzled.

He wanted to ask, but his body didn't listen, and then he saw himself waving his hand at the "giant" beside him and walking towards the lake in the distance.
