Chapter 33: True Heri (I)

Ciri didn't know how many turns she had turned in the winding alleys, how many secret doors had opened, and when Sophie, who was leading her, finally stopped, she had time to take in the surroundings. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The narrow alleyways were littered with men in black with weapons, some of them standing on the roofs of the buildings to guard the surroundings, some of them leaning against the walls, their faces hugging their chests but obscured by the shadow of their hats.

"What is this place?" said Ciri, who immediately grabbed the man in front of him and continued to walk forward.

"Safe place. Sophie, who re-stabilized her body after stumbling, explained.

"Don't be suspicious!" dissatisfied with being interrupted, she took the hand of the person behind her and headed directly into the depths of the alleyway.

Along the way, Ciri found that there were more and more people in black standing here, some of them put their hands on their weapons, and some of them didn't take their hands off the weapons everywhere, and their murderous eyes never left Ciri's body.

Eventually, the two stopped in front of a remote gate, and the gatekeepers standing on either side of the gate intercepted them with their weapons, and the trigger on the pistol indicated that they could attack the visitor at any moment.

Perhaps under the influence of the two gatekeepers, the many black-clothed men standing nearby also exposed their hidden hostility, and a few people who were in a hurry even drew their weapons, preparing to strike first.

"This is my proof. A small badge was taken out of Sophie's clothes, and in the gray environment it was difficult for Ciri to discern what it looked like when it fell to the ground, but the way she flickered by it made people wonder if the other party could see what the badge looked like when it fell to the ground.

The two gatekeepers quickly grabbed the badge in each other's hands, and although the badge could not be clearly observed by them, the general outline and unique logo could still be clearly recognized.

"Get in. The taciturn two put down their weapons one after another, and the door that had been closed slowly pushed open under the efforts of the two, and what appeared in front of them was a dark scene with no end in sight.

The door like the mouth of a giant beast made Ciri feel inexplicably nervous, and the illumination of the outside light could more or less help him see the situation inside, but now the light entering from the outside world seemed to be swallowed and assimilated by darkness.

"Take it, don't look around. "A small lantern was handed to Ciri's hand, and the light on it was very faint, and the faint light could not even dispel the shadow formed by the gatekeeper's hat, could such a light really dispel the darkness inside?

"Thank you. Sophie took off the hat on her head and put it on her chest, bent down and bowed to thank the two, but the two of them, as the gatekeepers, were unmoved, still standing faithfully in their original positions, and with their hands on the doorknob, they invisibly urged the two to hurry in and not waste everyone's time.

Sophie was not embarrassed by the lack of cooperation between the two, on the contrary, she smiled politely as if she had received a response from the other party, and finally slowly entered the dark gate, waving her hand to remind Ciri behind her to keep up with her pace.

The door behind them slammed shut, and now the two of them were completely immersed in the indelible darkness of the room, and it was not an exaggeration to reach out without seeing their fingers, but the faint light on the lantern could drive the darkness in the room away from the two of them.

The limited surroundings are now finally in Ciri's eyes.

Beneath his feet were reflective rough tiles, on which the faint light could reflect faint light, and the powerless darkness of the surrounding lights shrouded everything around him, and in the depths of the darkness, Ciri heard several faint breaths, like a human, like a beast lurking in the darkness.

Ciri tries to find out the source of this sound in the darkness around her, but she is stopped by the person leading the way.

"Don't look around you, and don't be curious. In the darkness that enveloped the room, Sophie's voice sounded like a metamorphosis, eerie and creepy.

"Why?" Curiosity made Ciri want to explore around, but the warnings made him fearful. She always felt an instinctive fear of this world that she knew so little about.

"No, this is the way this world is, the more you know, the more insane you become, and give me the lantern, I want to lead the way. Without warning, and before Ciri could react, the sorceress standing in front of her snatched the lantern from her hand.

Under the light, Ciri noticed that the other party's face was not covered with a single bum, and the originally delicate young face now looked like a septuagenarian, and the streaks on his face were constantly wriggling, and it seemed that there were living insects under his smooth skin.

The sudden change made Ciri retreat again and again, and she only stopped her steps until she knew the edge of darkness, and the long sword at her waist was pulled out by her, and the sudden change made her movements messy.

"...... you," she wanted to ask, but by this time she found that the other party had returned to its original appearance, but the faint light of the lantern had set off the skin on his face eeriely.

A shallow smile drew up on her face, as if mocking and teasing her, until she turned around, and the inexplicable smile was removed from Ciri's eyes.

"Don't overthink it, don't be surprised by anything you see for a while, and don't be too curious about the unknown here, it will drive you crazy. With the light on as her back, she warned those behind her.

Curiosity kills cats, and Ciri is convinced of this, but does the world really take this as the truth?

"I saw your face just now......"

"It's ugly, isn't it?"

"It's terrifying!" Ciri bluntly told the other party how he felt, the woman who walked in front of him was very mysterious, why she appeared in this world, why did she become what she is now, and according to the sorceress named Triss, her appearance was in her original form.

"You'll get used to it later. Huh~" The chuckle at the end made Ciri feel a mischievous joke.

"Who are you, why are you here, what are you doing this for?" Ciri asked, now the two of them walking in the dark and talking about the topic would undoubtedly relieve some of the boredom of the journey.

Ciri's question could not wait for the other party to answer, and she walked in the darkness not knowing whether she didn't want to answer or didn't hear it.

"Can you hear me?"

"You can hear it, but in a moment you will see more things that will surprise you. Sophie's answer made her angry, and Ciri felt like she was being fooled by the other party.

"Be careful, stairs!" she suddenly stopped and warned the people who were following behind her, "and near the stairs, don't be surprised if you see something bad, stay calm, it's better for everyone." ”

"What the hell is this place!" Ciri was forced to burst into doubts about her surroundings, saying that the more she knew about it, the more insane she became, but the darkness of the unknown had driven her insane.

"An abandoned concentration camp...... It is also a part of the darkness of this world. She trembled when she spoke, and it seemed that the secrets hidden in this place made her have bad memories.

"If you like, then you can look around and see what's going on. She placed the lantern around her, letting its glow draw everything on the walls into Ciri's eyes, "I hope you can sleep well and live in harmony with them in the days to come." ”

The light illuminated what was hidden in the darkness, and the first thing that entered Ciri's eyes was a huge baby face, like a head the size of a millstone attached to a long body, pale face and pale body, the unaesthetic monster also showed a baby's innocent smile, and the slender deformed little hands waved in the air to wave hello to the two people standing on the side of the stairs.

"You...... Good ......" Ciri waved her hand, and through the edge of the darkness, she realized that the other party was climbing against the wall with a multitude of irregular little hands growing out of the striped body, like a centipede.

Hearing Ciri's words, the baby seemed puzzled, and then excitedly waved at her with many small hands grasping at the wall, and the consequence of doing so was undoubtedly to cause her to tumble and fall to the ground.

Watching this "baby" roll on the ground, although there is no real body of a baby, it shows the same behavior as a baby.

"Hurry up, it's not easy to get entangled in them. Sophie grabbed Ciri, who was in a daze, and headed down the underground passage.

Along the way, Ciri saw a large number of strangely shaped species, many of them looked like random patchwork of various species, some ran around the walls or rooftops, and sometimes greeted the two people passing by, but more monsters were held on the other side of the iron fence of the cell, which was built on both sides of the corridor and was strange, and now they were "friendly" to the two of them with the alienated parts of their bodies that had been turned into weapons through the fence.

If it weren't for the width of the staircase, these creatures trapped in the cage would definitely hurt both of them.

Neither of them spoke for the long staircase, and Ciri was now observant of the strange creatures moving around, and if they were friendly, she would greet them consciously, while those who were locked up in the iron cage were paying attention to their body structure and thinking about how to defeat each other.

Suddenly, she noticed that the darkness ahead had disappeared, and the noisy noise reached her ears, and the lively atmosphere made the atmosphere in front of both of them feel the atmosphere in front of them.

When the two of them walked out of the darkness, Ciri found that there were many dark shadow people gathering here, laughter and the smell of wine filled the whole space, and the bright lights added a lot of excitement to the excitement here.

"Here we are, but I'm afraid it will take a long time to explain what this is all about. Sophie was not struck by the atmosphere in front of her, and she set her sights on a certain girl.

Ciri followed the other's gaze and passed through the many reveling men in black, and she saw the men in black sitting on the edge of the chair toasting and laughing with the people in black coming and going...... Myself?
