The living eye embedded in the painting is not connected to anything else alive.

This eye may have existed for generations in the underground halls of the inner city of Sunset City, which no one knows. The two who rushed in rashly seemed to be able to see the passage of time from this lonely right eye.

It was the years of this human settlement.

There are no eyelids, so the eye is unprotected and can only be opened, and after a long time, it appears dry and tired, and a cloudy capsule of thin dust is formed.

His Royal Highness was stunned and did not dare to step forward. No one touched the mural.

"Is it because you expected this eye that you told me to look instead of yourself?"

"It's not." She shook her head and said, "I don't know...... I just guessed that the layout of this palace and the middle palace is the same. ”

"It's the same, why don't you dare see it for yourself?"

Gu Chuan turned his head and found that this highness would only fluctuate violently when facing something related to the crown.

She didn't dodge either, and honestly replied:

"I wondered if there was something strange on the mural, and I was a little scared for some reason."

"Then I'd like to ask a question."

"Say it."

Gu Chuan asked bluntly: "What kind of person is His Majesty?" What does she look like? What are your hobbies? How did you hear her voice when she was hiding behind a mural? ”

The "Highness" turned his head in silence and walked in other directions. Gu Chuan followed behind her, feeling that she might be falling into a kind of dazed feeling that she had not endured.

She said:

"I haven't seen my mother look like her."

Gu Chuan was surprised:

"Has your mother never seen you? You...... How were you born?! ”

Her Highness's voice was extraordinarily calm, and she said:

"I can't remember. I don't know how I was born, and no one has told me. The earliest thing I can think of...... For as long as I can remember, the first person who took care of me was a doctor. She has always watched me grow up, and it was she who taught me how to hear the voice of the crown, and told me to stand under the mural and let go of my mind. And then...... Then I can hear it. As for Mom, all I know is that she may be behind the mural, probably not there. ”

"The doctor is Mrs. Ogiri?"

The shadows of the two men stretched out in this glorious palace.

"No, Lady Ogiri is my future doctor. She came to me after the end of the Sixth Dusk War. I had been in the care of another doctor until she arrived, except that one day of the Sixth Twilight War, she was gone. So, my mother canonized Dr. Ogiri and asked her to take care of my body. ”

When Gu Chuan heard this, what he was thinking was the same as what His Highness was thinking. They all thought the doctor was dead.

"And what about your dad?"

"Does dad mean the male who gave birth?"

That's a strange statement.

Gu Chuan was a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and replied:

"Yes."

"I haven't seen my father." She lowered her head, like a child being admonished, and asked suspiciously, "But...... Is it true that people are born into the world and must be nurtured by a husband and wife? Can't it just pop out of thin air? ”

Gu Chuan was amused by these words, and he laughed and said:

"I'm afraid not, friend! Are you standing here, did you pop out of thin air? Have you ever seen someone pop out of thin air? ”

His Highness walked to the door, and when he heard this, he turned around and blinked his clean eyes:

"What I said out of thin air is just an exaggerated metaphor...... But people may not necessarily jump out of people's stomachs, they may be able to jump out of other places. ”

She didn't expect others to understand, but Gu Chuan didn't refute it, but said softly:

"It's not impossible."

"You're convinced?"

"I don't believe in nothing, but I believe in a place to pop up."

He said.

His Royal Highness opened the door, and behind the door was not the state of the Central Prohibition Palace, but a long corridor, twisted and turned several times, with no end in sight. There was a light in the hallway, but the oil was gone, and the light was extinguished, and there was a dark silence.

The underground palace building, just looking at this clean appearance, seems to have been cleaned, but from the perspective of maintenance, some places, such as the palace, must be changed every once in a while, so it is bright day and night. Some areas are poorly maintained.

"Have the old doctor and the new doctor been taking care of you?"

"Yes, they have to look at me once every solar term to see if I have any reaction."

"Reaction?"

Gu Chuan was puzzled.

His Highness stood in front of the door at the end of the corridor like an amorphous cloud floating in the air, and said softly:

"Have you ever seen the effects of strange things on people?"

Gu Chuan immediately thought of the book he had read in Mrs. Okiri's pavilion. There is a strange thing called the tail bone, which is very similar to a bone. But it is not a bone, it can grow along the bone marrow in the human body, and when it is finished, all the bones of the human body will be replaced with this strange thing.

He looked up creepily and looked at the girl whose strength was as amazing as that of Lady Okiri.

Is this living and graceful existence really natural?

His Highness didn't understand his gaze, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he only felt that Gu Chuan's expression was strange:

"What's wrong?"

"You said that the influence of strange things on people, what effect did strange things have on you?"

She seemed to be unaware of Gu Chuan's guess, and explained flatly:

"My mother said I had a serious illness caused by strange things...... She said that the power of strange things was pervasive and unknowable, creating a cell in my body that would kill me...... I had to see the doctor every once in a while to see if my condition had worsened. It also makes me sleep longer than I wake up. When I was a kid, I would wake up for an hour or two. But now I'm better, and I'm about the same time to sleep and wake up. They said that in a short time, I would be healed and I would be able to go wherever I wanted. ”

"That's good......"

Gu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. He thought of the cancer cells, and perhaps some strange thing had caused some terrible lesion in this highness's body.

"That's a good thing, and I wish you a speedy freedom."

"Thank you!"

The girl laughed happily, but after laughing for a while, her strange head thought of something else, and suddenly asked in confusion:

"But I'm sure I'll be able to enjoy it, so why should you bless me? Do you think I'm getting better? The meaning of blessing, the doctor said that it is impossible to do. ”

These words stumped Gu Chuan.

"As soon as possible, even earlier than scheduled, that is also worth blessing!"

At the end of the corridor, His Highness wanted to open the door. As a result, the door was locked. They had no choice but to turn around to the living-eyed palace and find another corridor.

They returned to the palace and walked through all sorts of strange coffin-like square stone boxes. At this moment, Gu Chuan suddenly heard a sound of footsteps.

The young man's heart trembled, and he pulled His Highness to crouch under the cover of the coffin.

"What's wrong—"

As soon as Her Highness wanted to speak, Gu Chuan's palm covered her small mouth. The stench of a boy in prison for a long time and not being cleaned up penetrated her nose. And a vague fragrance on His Royal Highness's body penetrated the boy's heart.

His Royal Highness blinked her eyes, not disgusted, she followed the direction pointed by Gu Chuan's other hand, and saw the "prison people" who were walking hurriedly through the gap in the coffin.

Gu Chuan also saw the appearance of the "prison man" of this dungeon guard for the first time head-on.

They wore a pair of black armor with only a slit for their eyes. Looking through the cracks from the outside, you can't see their eyes. They all have blunt instruments in their hands. Gu Chuan fully doubted that with the strength of these big men, it was enough to smash people's heads like watermelons!

None of the inmates spoke, as if they didn't need to communicate, just walked around here, making the sound of armor crashing against the floor.

The doors in the hall opened a few times. It seems that these prisoners did not chase them from the dungeon along the rock crevices, but from some room in the underground building.

So, Gu Chuan didn't know if they were chasing after him, a fugitive, or if they were simply patrolling this palace.

The young man and woman cautiously shifted their positions, creeping up on a door hidden by the coffin.

He carefully observed his surroundings and quickly shifted his gaze to his feet.

Then he suddenly saw the mud under his feet, brought from the road outside.

This palace is full of their footprints.

The young man's brain teaser was racing, but at this moment, behind them, a sentence sounded that seemed to be glued together:

"Someone!"

In a few steps, a blunt iron rod thicker than a thigh fell in the air. Gu Chuan wanted to resist with a burning stick, but as soon as he touched it, it was as if he had hit a wall. His hands were numb for a while, and he was forced to let go. So the burning stick was bent and sent to the other side. His Royal Highness hurriedly raised his hand at this time, and Ying Yingsu actually caught the iron rod in the air.

The terrifying power of this girl must have its unknown mystery like that of Lady Okiri.

Gu Chuan didn't have time to be distracted, and when he looked up, he saw that the prisoners had gathered from all over the place.

His Highness looked calm, stood up, looked around, and said in a cold voice:

"Are you sure you want to be my enemy? I'm here, and my status is the same as that of His Majesty! ”

Gu Chuan put a little snack. He thought that His Royal Highness's identity was noble, and this group of dungeon guards must also recognize it, where would they dare to do it! But his thoughts were shattered in an instant. As if they hadn't heard, the group of patrol prisoners pounced as usual.

"How dare you?!"

His Highness frowned, snatched the iron rod from the prisoner in front of him empty-handed, and smashed it directly at the prisoner behind him, and he was only on par with the prisoner. The prisoner's iron rod behind him broke off his hand and slammed the coffin-like thing through the air.

The coffin fell to the ground, and out fell the head of a rotting man with open eyes—it was indeed a coffin, a coffin that housed some kind of human organ.

Gu Chuan's eyes widened, and as he ran, he saw that at the same time, a prisoner hurriedly put his head back into the coffin and restored the coffin to its place.

This is a little less manpower for the siege.

His Royal Highness jumped back swiftly and came to Gu Chuan, who was running away:

"Run!"

It's like a sick man.

"I know!"

The two of them ran all the way, but they couldn't outrun the prisoners in the four bread clips.

Gu Chuan exerted all his strength, but he only felt a sudden gust of wind above his head. He immediately gritted his teeth and flashed, and sure enough, a large iron rod thicker than his arm smashed straight to the ground with a loud bang.

This shock made Gu Chuan, who leaned forward with his center of gravity, unable to stand firm and was about to fall to the ground.

His Royal Highness stretched out his hand, pulled Gu Chuan up, and threw him straight into the sky like a stone.

"Wow!"

The feeling of weightlessness made Gu Chuan's mind go blank. He flew mid-air along the parabola, and when he was about to fall, he was caught by a girl who seemed to be dancing ballet steps.

Gu Chuan and the two ordinary people, where have they seen this kind of exciting battle, and they have not received corresponding training. The acceleration and deceleration of the air caused his stomach to tumble, his mind dizzy, and he barely raised his head and opened his eyes.

His Royal Highness's white face was lowered in the light, and he was facing him, showing a few white teeth, and his eyes smiled like crescent moons:

"Don't worry, they don't recognize me, Your Highness, and if they don't, they won't recognize me. I recognized you, and said let you out, and I let you out. ”

Then, with a brisk leap of her steps, each step stepping on a coffin, like a free dancer, she turned the most beautiful arc of her legs in the air. When she jumped under the big chandelier, she hugged Gu Chuan and crossed through the air, like a swimming fish jumping into the water.

And Gu Chuan was in her arms, dizzy, as if she was being held in her mother's arms.

With this leap forward, the coffins at His Highness's feet fell one by one.

Some of them opened the door and threw out the organs they were kept, telling the prisoners to quickly assemble the coffins.

It seems that for those prisoners, maintaining this palace is much more important than hunting down these two people.

Just when the prisoner was at its least, a crack opened in one of their nearest doors, and a familiar face peeked out from inside—it was the face of the toeless man in the cell next to Gu Chuan.

He shouted at Gu Chuan:

"Come here."

Gu Chuan was uncomfortable to hear his words, and the girl of His Highness couldn't understand it. But the highness maiden was willing to believe the toeless man, and ran towards the door.

She is noticeably not very good at running, nor is she very good at difficult movements. It's just that her superior bodily abilities have given her unimaginable freedom – the freedom to move as she wants.

After jumping through the door, the toeless man closes the door and inserts the latch at the same time. Immediately, an iron rod slammed against the door, making a violent noise.

The fugitives didn't care. The three of them walked along the corridor together, going deeper. The toeless man walks in a strange way, due to the fact that he doesn't have nails on his feet either. As he walked, he said:

"This door can't be opened from the palace, and the prisoners don't dare to smash it if they smash it...... Smash the second time. ”

Sure enough, there was no sound behind him.

Gu Chuan was a little relieved and said in surprise:

"You ran out!"

"I ...... I saw you come out, and I came out. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with you, and no one will talk to me......"

The cloaked creature whispered.

"Do you see where those guards are coming from?"

The lamps in this corridor are not refilled, they are all not lit. His Highness took out his lantern again and illuminated the way.

"They're called prisoners." The toeless man said, "When I came with you, I saw them coming out of another door, coming into this palace to sweep away the dust that you have fallen. ”

It turned out that the group of prisoners were in charge of cleaning the palace.

A princess and two fugitives walked forward in the darkness and uneasy.

"Where is the front?"

"Ahead, I didn't go either. As soon as I fled here, I heard voices outside......" said the toeless man.

There is a lot of garbage in this corridor. Gu Chuan walked and walked, stepped on the garbage for some reason, lifted his foot, stumbled, and almost didn't fall, but fortunately he was held up by the toeless man.

When His Highness saw this, he carried a lantern to shine it.

That's a ...... Foul skull. His Highness calmly commented:

"It's supposed to be a long time."

The deeper they went, the more bones piled up under their feet. It's been a long time since anyone cleaned it, and maybe it's a no-go area for this underground building.

There are prisoners in the back, and the three of them have no choice but to grit their teeth and move forward.

There is a door in front. When the door was opened, the light suddenly scattered.

It turns out that the floor of the room behind the door is a whole piece of natural transparent crystal ore, which refracts part of the light, making the room slightly brighter. Beneath the crystal floor, it's not empty. His Highness looked under the crystal floor with a lantern, and when he opened his eyes, he saw dozens of streamlined objects that resembled fish and birds, swimming gently in a thick water. They have no eyes, no mouths, no ears, and no limbs, and like the embryos of babies, they sink silently in the water, rippling with the water.

"What are these ......?"

Gu Chuan was puzzled and asked in surprise.

The secrets of Sunset City have long been beyond his imagination.

He didn't expect to answer, but at this moment, a voice sounded in the deep room:

"These are the means by which His Majesty experimented with possession of strange objects in perpetuity."

His Royal Highness carried a lantern, and Gu Chuan and the toeless man all followed the light, and the light illuminated a dirty and ugly old man in the depths of this room. He stretched out his hand to block Guanghua and his face, and said indifferently:

"They used to think that the way to possess strange things forever was to put them in their bodies. As long as this is the case, there is only one possibility left for them to think is lost...... That is death. ”

He has fingernails on his hands, and his pronunciation is close to modern Sunset City, proving that he may be a normal Sunset Cityer.
