Chapter 56: A Song of Sorrow
"Are you willing to make a choice?"
“......”
"Or are you waiting to be chosen?"
......
Through the black horizon, the flying wind and sand violently blew across the confused faces of these uninvited guests. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Man has never been able to see the nothingness that has captured him, nor has he been able to see the infinity that engulfs him. And the demon spirit that envelops the whole world is like an invisible devil, which makes people's souls fall into cold numbness in indulgence.
On the ground under the dark sky, lonely people ran aimlessly into the distance. With the endless darkness of the sky, the cruel laws of nature, the lack of life-saving supplies. In such a cruel environment, they may fall somewhere, or where they will die. But it will still go on, no matter what happens. Even though, he no longer remembers his name. Even though, the cheeks of the companion have become blurry.
They were already hungry and a little sad. In the midst of such a long night, because of their different philosophies, they have left the other team and will go alone towards the unknown future in the distance.
In this dimly lit world, they are just a group of travelers running on the road to death, looking for a home.
Under the dark sky, like a long night...... There will never be a bright day, and there will be no ...... The end of the end.
In the never-ending journey of the world, the black clouds were like rolling beasts, pressing fiercely on the heads of this group of lonely walkers, exuding cruel malice towards the living beings that belonged to the whole world.
Darkness, but not the fingers of the fingers. Depressed, but not full of despair. Although it is dark, the world is still full of light like a fallacy.
If black is also a color, then why can't it be a light? In this desperate and dark world, black is everywhere, but we can still see through the darkness the black horizon that is forever unreachable.
The world is so monotonous, yet so wonderful, so dark, and so bright.
............
How did I end up here?...... But whatever, .......
Somewhat tired, Elleo pulled a cart of supplies, following closely the crowd looking for a new home, and treading on their journey. Keep moving slowly from another darkness to a deeper darkness in the distance. In this withered and barren wasteland, the darkness of the sky and the dusk of the earth are intertwined, reflecting from the bottom to the top on the body of each person, making the traveler looking extremely vicissitudes and extremely tired.
"There seems to be a place in front where you can rest for the night, so let's go there. At this time, a mellow and reliable voice seemed to suddenly sound in everyone's ears, gently soothing everyone's anxious heart.
Eleo looked at the steely figure standing at the front with some admiration. His majestic body and eternal fighting spirit are the reasons and reliance for everyone present to get to where they are now. However, he ...... What is his name? Elleo suddenly realized that he had unknowingly forgotten something so important.
...... A temple, an underground temple that is secluded enough, the news is enough to excite these people who have no direction to go crazy.
Elleo was uncontrollably happy, and suddenly appeared in a dreamy place with the frantic crowd.
It is as if you are under the legendary magnificent waterfall, where aqua-blue halos escape from the crystals on the ground, mingling with unknown light sources. The formation of this ...... of countless rays of light Beautiful miracles.
Strangely, however, no one seemed to be curious or panicked by this sudden phenomenon. All experiences are like fragmented movies, intermittent but still plausible.
What's even more incredible is that they actually found the existence of suspected food behind this light curtain. A layer of strange vines wrapped around a huge stone pillar exuded an irresistible temptation to everyone.
"Don't move!" the leader of the entire team suddenly shouted. Still, it's too late.
About a dozen hungry people swallowed the "wine fruit" whole without even looking at it. And at a speed visible to the naked eye, it turned into several piles of white bones on the ground.
This really scared Areo. He didn't even notice the little girl who appeared next to him at some point.
........................
In the blink of an eye, the picture of memory has changed dramatically.
......
"Io, get here. Elleo stretched out his hand and picked up the little girl beside him, turned around and ran. In the twenty days they have been together, Eleo, who is in her thirties, has long regarded this delicate girl as his daughter. And as a father, no one will be able to snatch his children in front of him.
Even that person can't do that.
A majestic figure suddenly stood in front of Areo, "Give it to me, Anoo." You're bewitched by this ghost. Now, give it to me!" couldn't see his appearance clearly, but the oppressive aura blocked all the possibility of escape for the two. People with torches gradually gathered around them, and the father and daughter were surrounded in the middle.
“...... , are you blinded by greed?" Areo angrily accuses the man he once held in great esteem. He seemed to have accidentally uttered the man's name, but he didn't seem to hear it himself.
Looking at the silent man, Elleo smiled bitterly, "This is the temptation of ghosts. And my name is Eleo, not Eleo!"
...... The picture of memory came to an abrupt end. But at this moment, a sense of familiarity that made Kerr cry suddenly erupted when the boy was caught off guard. ...... It's like an apostle walking in a lonely desert who finally sees the touch of an oasis. A throbbing that had never been felt before filled the already numb heart of the teenager. Whether it is purple eyes or black eyes, they have accidentally left long-lost tears at this moment.
A gentle word, at the moment when the young man was sober, was deeply imprinted in Kerr's mind......
"I hope to wait to be chosen by fate...... , but fate always forced me...... Let me make a choice. ”
..............................
"What's the matter, Kerr. Were you touched by the selflessness of being a teacher?" the serious old mage was unexpectedly playful. However, it is obvious that the old man's self-inflicted sentimentality seems to be about to come to naught.
An invisible fluctuation unconsciously spreads outward from almost everyone's body. In other words, from the crystals that almost everyone carries, something is about to break free.
"Io, my daughter. ”
A whisper that only Kerr could hear slowly filled the air.
Before you know it, the blue crystals collected by the crowd begin to become cloudy and gray. Their power is gradually being confused and extracted, forming a chaotic existence.
This time, everyone inside and outside the temple heard the desperate and penetrating scream. In an instant, the commotion spread again throughout the entire crowd that had just relaxed.
"Teacher, there's a big ghost here!"
For some reason, the youngster, who felt both excited and a little nervous, lifted the giant sickle in his hands, and said to everyone with a smile. The purple flames and the black horns tied around the neck shook slightly together as if they were meeting a family member.
“......”
"Come on...... just let me ...... Personally... Kill you!"
