The tentacles from the Flower are intertwined in the basement of the Imperial Palace.

Zheng Xiu and the "mayfly" merge into one, incarnate the illusory, and walk through the gaps of the roots.

The deeper he went, the more indescribable palpitations came to his heart, and in his vision, a black hole-like distortion filled his "vision", silently and slowly squirming, making Zheng Xiu shudder.

After a while, Zheng Xiu finally arrived there and came to what the orange cat called "the source of distortion".

There were no fingers in the huge hollow, and it was pitch black.

But in Zheng Xiu's field of vision, when he arrived here, there seemed to be a bright light in the depths of the cave—at least at this moment, in his field of vision, the "thing" entrenched in the middle of the cave was "bright" like a lamp.

Yes, bright.

"That thing" was pure black, smooth as a mirror, without the slightest support, and it was so strangely suspended in that place, like a black mirror standing in mid-air. In the orange cat's field of vision, the thing lit up like a guiding light, quietly suspended in mid-air.

Scold.

Anne's "eye-opening" just happened to lose its effectiveness, and Zheng Xiu's vision returned to normal. The sudden darkness made Zheng Xiu almost instinctively stretch out his hand to swing in front of him, but the action of "reaching out" made Zheng Xiu have the illusion of playing with the waves in the "water", and the swinging trajectory brought out a piece of ink-colored light and shadow.

This familiar style of painting made Zheng Xiu's breath stagnate, and he almost gritted his teeth and said two words: "Chang Yan!" ”

Lord Anne nodded her head with a tiger face, and seemed to agree with Zheng Xiu's words: "It's close." ”

The two of them stood in place for a while.

Didn't come forward.

Five mayflies came out of Zheng Xiu's chest and swam around, Zheng Xiu was down-to-earth.

Zheng Xiu's eyes looked straight at the "mirror" that was as black as ink.

After a moment of silence, Lady Anne covered her nose with her paws and shook her head vigorously: "I really still hate this smell." As she spoke, Lady Anne patted Zheng Xiu's head: "Come closer." ”

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!"

Zheng Xiu took a few steps closer.

At this time, Zheng Xiu felt that he had stepped on several grooves of different depths under his feet.

"Smack."

He snapped his fingers and stretched out his index finger to swipe through the void, Zheng Xiu's fingertips shimmered and drew a lamp. With a snap of his fingers, the lamp turned into a physical entity, floating quietly in front of a man and a cat, illuminating the surroundings.

"What is this?"

With the faint light, Zheng Xiu looked at the grooves in the ground.

The ravines crisscross the hollows, and there is a vague pattern hidden in them. The shallow grooves have regular edges, which seem to be artificial. Zheng Xiu squatted down and stretched out his fingers to touch it a few times, was slightly stunned, and a few steps forward, the distribution of the grooves actually formed a regular circle, and the center of the circle was the mirror.

In front of the "mirror", there is a flat round platform left on the ground, which is empty and slightly protrudes from the ground.

The grooves spread out in all directions centered on the "mirror" and "round table".

Zheng Xiu cautiously circled around the "mirror", and suddenly realized: "This is ...... A formation? ”

When the word "formation" was spoken, even Zheng Xiu himself felt a little incredible. After Zheng Xiu came to this world, the system he saw was all around the "doorway" and "thaumaturgy", and now he suddenly saw the "thing" that had never appeared in this world, but seemed to appear as a matter of course, which made Zheng Xiu can't help but show a strange look on his face.

"Meow." Anne turned the cat's head and looked around, and in the emerald crystal cat pupils, there was a vivid expression of disdain, she shook her head disdainfully, and sneered: "Inferior magic." ”

When Zheng Xiu heard this, he frowned: "Do you understand?" ”

The orange cat clasped his hands around his chest and said arrogantly: "Stupid container, this is an obvious thing. ”

"Anne, what about the honest meeting and the united front?"

"It's Lady Annie."

"Lady Anne, please speak."

"Hmph." Anne, who was still sullen not long ago, was in a better mood at the moment because Zheng Xiu shouted "Lord Anne", and she said leisurely: "Stupid container, for your sake...... sincere"

"Don't be embarrassed."

“…… It is a 'sacrificial' ritual. ”

"Sacrifice?"

Anne's voice was a little more dissatisfied: "The container of the fish lips, don't you even know the 'sacrifice'?" ”

"To know is to know." Zheng Xiu didn't know how to express his weird feelings, and after pondering for a moment, Zheng Xiu asked, "The 'sacrifice' you said is a ritual, right?" In ancient times, prayers for blessings were prayed to heaven and earth, pigs and sheep were slaughtered, a good harvest was prayed, or the wind and rain were good. ”

"Hehe, stupid human." The orange cat did not hesitate to sneer: "If you were a god, would you covet those pigs and sheep who are not even as good as humans?" ”

"Hehe, I can't say that." The corners of Zheng Xiu's mouth twitched, and he replied with a "smile" expression.

I don't know about the other gods, but for a mere god like you, I feel that a sacrifice of a basket of fish cakes can coax you into obedience.

After thinking about it, Zheng Xiu decided to save some face for the good-looking Lord Anne, and under the increasingly ugly expression of the orange cat, Zheng Xiu added Yuan Huadi: "I think it depends on the person...... No, look at the cat, ahhh …… I mean, it's up to God. For example, hobbies and hobbies, I have heard some fairy tales in the past, some people like incense, some gods like virgins, some gods like lustful gods, and some gods like fish cakes......"

"Fish cakes aren't that tasty!" When the orange cat heard this, it seemed that it had been stepped on by the tail and said that it was in the right mind, and its hair exploded and it became angry. But she was angry for a long time, and seemed to think that this was not very convincing, so she weakly pasted her hair back: "I am not a god." ”

"So, what is he sacrificing?"

Anne stared into the darkness.

She pointed to the edge of the cave: "Container...... Guys. ”

Zheng Xiu's face changed slightly, and his wrist flicked, increasing the output power. Suddenly, the floating "bright lantern" rose into the sky and exploded above the heads of a person and a cat, shining like a small scorching sun.

Under the illumination of the light, Zheng Xiu finally took in the whole picture of the underground caves of the entire palace. I saw that the stone walls of the cave were covered with withered vines, and the vines were entangled and coiled, like human blood vessels, faintly showing blood-colored pulses.

There were undulating outlines twisting in the entangled vines, Zheng Xiu opened his mouth wide, and couldn't help but step forward to check, but in the next second, there was a burst of sourness in his stomach. The silhouettes were clearly human babies.

They became one with the vines, as if they had been dead for a long time, but under the influence of some force, their skin remained alive and did not decay.

Baby corpses, stone walls, vines, all merge into one.

A terrifying chill surged up Zheng Xiu's back silently, and he couldn't imagine that everything in front of him was from the gentle and considerate Zheng Erniang.

In this world, there is no Zheng Erniang, only the eldest princess Wei Ruyi.

Zheng Xiu had inadvertently explored Zheng Erniang's past in the "Eternal Night" world line, and finally only found a token engraved with the word "Mei". With the word "charming" alone, Zheng Xiu can't guess Zheng Erniang's life experience. But if it's "Wei Ruyi"...... Zheng Xiu suddenly realized that it was Concubine Mei, a poor woman who had only appeared in the roster of the cold palace.

Zheng Xiu made up the outline of "real history" in his mind, and there must have been a palace fight drama in Lao Wei's harem twenty years ago, which led to Wei Chen and Wei Ruyi falling into the people.

Among them, Wei Chen, a natural "usurper", fled under the escort of Wang Cangyun, but accidentally encountered the "tide convergence phenomenon" and died in Baili Village.

Wei Ruyi was adopted by Zheng Haoran and became Zheng Xiu's godsister, Zheng Erniang.

When Zheng Xiu was immersed in the shocking scene of the stone wall in front of him.

The orange cat was in the middle of the cave, taking graceful steps, one, two, three, to the dark mirror.

As the orange cat approached, thin ripples rippled on the extremely smooth mirror. The ripples faintly flash with a red floral pattern.

"Elegant, timeless."

"Anne, never say never."

The brilliance of the sun wheel made by Zheng Xiu was like a flash in the pan, and the light gradually faded.

The figure of the orange cat rose little by little, and she stood up with her feet forward, covered in black, leaving only a plump and enchanting black shadow.

Her long, slender nails were sharp and flashed with a miserable white light, lightly tapping against the mirror.

A moment later, Annie's fingertips were bounced open like an electric shock, and she looked at Zheng Xiu's back in surprise.

……

Zheng Xiu didn't move.

Vines, Babies, Containers, Rocks, Darkness......

As a painter, he is extremely sensitive to art. He watched quietly, and I don't know when it began, the scene in front of him, the baby's serene facial features, the texture of the vines, the mottled stone wall, every strand, every strand, seemed to have become a stroke on a painting, ink and dye, permeated Zheng Xiu with something called "malice".

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Zheng Xiu felt the temples on both sides vibrate like drumsticks, and he sneered.

The "understanding" called "malice" is like an invisible tentacle that penetrates into perception and smell through vision, infecting his facial features roughly, inserting into his brain, and stirring wildly.

Scold.

Scold.

Scold.

Suddenly, the corpses of babies on the stone wall that merged with the vines opened their eyes one after another. The eyes were black and smart, as if they were alive, all the eyes were black and white, staring at Zheng Xiu in front of the stone wall without blinking.

Bone ......

Bone ......

Zheng Xiu even heard the friction sound of the eyeballs turning vigorously in the dry eye sockets!

The five mayflies floating beside Zheng Xiu were incomparably weak creatures. At the moment when the "baby" opened his eyes, five mayflies trembled and burrowed into Zheng Xiu's arms.

Poof.

Zheng Xiu felt like he had fallen into the water.

A pitch black sea.

Boundless, deep.

There seemed to be a hand in the dark seawater, pulling Zheng Xiu to sink and sink.

Zheng Xiu looked down.

In the infinitely distant depths, in the place called "Abyss", there is a twisted tentacle with a red-colored bud wrapped in the center of the tentacle.

With the sinking of Zheng Xiu, the "shy" buds opened little by little.

Among the buds, like a soft hotbed, lies a woman with a beautiful face.

The woman smiled and beckoned to him, as if to say that you are coming.

The woman is in the middle of the flower bud, in the wet hotbed, in eighteen poses.

Zheng Xiu continued to sink down, and he vaguely saw that the woman's face was clearly Erniang.

"Meow~"

In the infinite darkness of the deep sea, a big jade foot as vast and boundless as a star, pure and unblemished, tore open the deep sea and stepped on it.

Bang!

Waves rise in the abyss, crushing all filth.

Kiss~

"Meow~"

When Zheng Xiu came back to his senses, Lord Anne pressed the pink meat ball on Zheng Xiu's eyebrows with a disdainful face.

"Containers that don't make a living, and that's contaminated?"

"I'm ......," Zheng Xiu opened his mouth. Anne patted Zheng Xiu's head intimately in the next second, sighed like an old man, and sighed like "No way, who made you like this": "I don't blame you, your physique is indeed easy to provoke them." ”

Annie's cute pink ball of flesh reminded Zheng Xiu once again of the fear of being dominated by Jade Feet.

"How can I be easily provoked...... They? ”

The orange cat Mu Ran pointed at himself.

Zheng Xiu suddenly shuddered. I remembered the woman I had just seen in the bud.

He was almost contaminated.

Thanks to the jade foot.

"What kind of authority are you!"

Zheng Xiu couldn't help but complain.

What jade feet are so domineering.

"Meow, you're not qualified to know."

Anne didn't seem to intend to answer Zheng Xiu's question.

"Can't you ask if you're curious?"

Zheng Xiu calmly looked around while arguing with Anne, and found that the eyes of the babies who had opened their eyes around him were tightly closed, as if they had never opened them. The scene of the eyes staring at him just now, was it an illusion, or was it really the innocent remnants of the babies who were haunting them?

Zheng Xiu is not sure.

Anne raised a claw and smiled: "I have already told you that our existence, supreme, even if it is the true name, the tip of the iceberg of our authority, even if you understand a little more, glimpse a little more, get a little closer, it will be a devastating, fatal, and indelible impact on your fragile human soul." ”

Anne was afraid that Zheng Xiu would not believe it, so she slapped her two paws, squeezed the meat balls in both palms, and made a "pop" sound: "Once you are told, you will be like a humble and insignificant scum gnats, trampled on in an instant, leaving nothing behind." ”

Zheng Xiu believed it.

These "evils" from Changyan have their own "pollution" attributes, and if you look at them more, you will lose your mind.

Zheng Xiu was silent.

"Are you guilty?" The orange cat squatted in front of Zheng Xiu, tilting his head: "I can't understand." ”

"You don't understand." Zheng Xiu believes that the death of these babies is all because he recklessly entered the ancient battlefield, and he is even more determined to save his father. Therefore, he came to the red point, his parents were complete, and he liked to mention his wife, as if everything was beautiful. But everything in the world has its own providence when he drinks and pecks, so Fengbei cut off the "reason" and disappeared into the world, except for him Zheng Xiu, everything he is familiar with seems to be covered with a layer of tragedy.

Isn't there such a thing as a happy ending in the world?

Why? Why do they have to die, daddy?

Zheng Xiu didn't understand, so he felt guilty.

Lord Anne couldn't understand Zheng Xiu's thoughts, let alone empathize, and sneered: "Oh meow ~ stupid human, heh meow ~ ignorant guilt, heh meow ~ weak expression." ”

She first sneered three times in a row, looked down and saw that Zheng Xiu's face was ugly, she thought about it, and gently jumped on Zheng Xiu's shoulder, and the meat ball gently patted Zheng Xiu's head.

Perhaps even Lady Anne didn't notice that her hesitant behavior was somewhat comforting. She patted and patted her head through the cavern, then sighed, "I have discovered the source of the distortion. ”

Zheng Xiu was stunned.

"This is also your 'ghost'...... Let's call it a ghost, the reason why it is permanently anchored after being infinitely expanded and distorted to the extreme. ”

Mistress Anne raised a paw meaningfully: "You have fulfilled a wish, and so, because of this wish, in the 'inside', all the artifacts, have twisted out a 'knot', a 'knot' that is almost impossible to dissolve. In order to resolve the contradictions arising from this 'knot', and because of your presence, here ......"

"Hee-hee-hee!"

Suddenly.

A deep laugh came from above.

With a sigh, a few cold rays were almost silent, passing through Zheng Xiu's chest.

Zheng Xiu's chest floated with ripples, Zheng Xiu didn't need to look back, he knew that what passed through his body was a flying knife.

The monk touched his bald head, hung upside down, and his feet were sucked on the stone wall above his head like magnets, and he smiled: "Sure enough, the rat got in." ”

A slender palm emerged from behind Zheng Xiu, pierced into Zheng Xiu's back, and grabbed Zheng Xiu's chest.

At the same time, the gentle sound of the song sounded, the leaf mouth was reed leaf, pacing out, the melodious song entered the ear, Zheng Xiu first saw the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, the mountains and rivers were far away; Immediately after that, the style of the song changed sharply, as sharp as a knife, Zheng Xiu's eyes were full of flowers, standing on the sea of corpses and blood, and his eyes became a purgatory on earth.

Overhead, vines grew one by one, and the vines skyrocketed, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, growing a huge flower bone, the petals opened, and Zheng Xiu's familiar face sat inside, the eldest princess, Wei Ruyi.

"Zheng Haoran's son?"

When Wei Ruyi saw Zheng Xiu's face clearly, he was also a little surprised, revealing a thoughtful expression.

In just an instant, Zheng Xiu was surrounded.

Zheng Xiu was only surprised for a moment, and then looked at the orange cat in disbelief.

The orange cat seemed to have completely failed to see the changes in front of him and the appearance of the "enemies", and was still chattering: "...... Well, the red point, the damn red point is born, and this is the 'answer' that comes from the equation, the optimal 'solution'. All of this is done to make the existence of this 'knot' reasonable. ”

After the orange cat finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Xiu calmly: "Don't you understand?" Never mind. ”

"You...... Die and die, and you understand. ”

The orange cat slapped Zheng Xiu.

Kiss~

The ball of light in the shape of a meat ball pushed Zheng Xiu behind him.

Behind him, there is the mirror, the being that is thought to be both an entrance or an exit.

"Outsiders! Damn it! ”

Wei Ruyi on the flower buds, those bright eyes, instantly dyed black.

Thundered......

The ground collapsed and boulders fell.

The last picture of Zheng Xiu being inhaled by Chang Yan was the orange cat with his back to him, waving at him, and the next second he was drowned by countless twisted roots.
