Tang Yuanyuan looked at the huge old life and death book in front of her, and quickly recalled in her mind the words that No. 4 had told her before coming here.

Before she enters this strange space, Number Four tells her how to seek answers from the Book of Life and Death, which is said to record the rebirth and death of all human beings, as well as countless times known as "history".

For most living beings, the Book of Life and Death itself is a witness of "time" and "existence", so any answer about the recorded person can be found from it, as long as you can grasp the relationship between the recorded person and time from history, you can explore the traces of the other party.

And in order to do this, some special conditions must be met, that is, the person who opens the book of life and death must still be a "living" soul who "history is still flowing", and the reader must also have strong spiritual power, so as to carry the backlash of time.

That's why she was chosen to do this... But as for what will happen after doing this, no one knows...

Tang Yuanyuan sighed silently after thinking about it, and said in his heart that next time he would definitely not do this kind of hard work and risky drudgery.

Isn't it a bit too much of a loss to think about it?

She just felt like this, and suddenly thought about it, No. 4 had saved her life in addition to helping her once, and it seemed that it could barely be regarded as an equal deal.

That's it, thinking about it or not, Tang Yuanyuan shook his head lightly, stood in front of the book of life and death and put his hand into his pocket, and then she took out a small bottle of pale golden translucent substance that No. 4 gave her from her pocket.

She squeezed the vial in her hand again for a brief moment, then turned her head to look at the heavy book of life and death, reached out and patted its cover.

The moment the cover of the book of life and death was slapped by her, the entire book suddenly trembled without any warning, which frightened Tang Yuanyuan to think that something had happened suddenly, but the book of life and death quickly returned to calm.

After studying the heavy book again for a moment, she finally uncorked the bottle with peace of mind and poured the pale golden translucent gas onto the book of life and death.

The strange substance, which had a translucent solid shape, shook off from the bottle and disappeared as it landed on the body of the book.

After another short wait, the heavy thin book of life and death suddenly shook again, Tang Yuanyuan instinctively sensed something, frowned and took two steps forward, and the next second she looked at the heavy book of life and death in front of her, which had been closed, began to turn the pages automatically, as if there was life in front of her.

The book of life and death was opened at a very fast speed of turning the pages, but this speed quickly slowed down as the number of pages turned over became more and more, and it was not long before the pages stopped completely on a blank scroll.

Tang Yuanyuan caught a glimpse of the white scroll that stopped in front of him, and couldn't help frowning again, and muttered in a low voice with some surprise:

"Strange... The record of 'her' is... Blank? ”

This was a very different situation than what Number Four had told her, and she couldn't read anything from the paper, which was so clean that it had no content.

"If the Book of Life and Death is an instrument for recording history... Could this be the case that the person Four is looking for doesn't exist or has been erased by something? ”

Tang Yuanyuan stared at the hundred pages for a while, and saw that the book of life and death itself seemed to have no intention of moving again, so he reached out with some hesitation to touch the white roll of paper that was so clean that it was contrary to common sense.

And at the moment when her fingertips just touched the surface of the book of life and death, the book that had been settled suddenly shook again, and the pages that had been suppressed in it suddenly began to turn irregularly, and the whole thick book of life and death seemed to be in some chaos in vain, making a somewhat piercing sound of scraping the pages.

But unexpectedly, no matter how restless the other pages in the book of life and death were, the white paper that looked so light and fragile still pressed on the top layer of the middle of the book, and it was unusually flat and silent.

Before Tang Yuanyuan could figure out why the life and death book had changed, he saw strange dark red lines gradually appearing on the originally spotless white rolling paper.

Those dark red lines dye and condense the paper like ink flowing freely, but when they gather, they are fleeting as soon as they condense a word.

In just a moment's effort, the blood word that had finally appeared scattered for no reason, and the red lines soon soaked the entire page of the paper again.

Tang Yuanyuan was a little unclear, so she was completely unprepared for this series of completely unplanned changes.

Originally, she had already come to the Book of Life and Death to complete her transaction, but she did not see the name of "her" mentioned in the Fourth Instruction from the Book of Life and Death, nor did she see the location of her soul.

There was nothing in the book of life and death, the mutated paper had quickly returned to its original state, and she had not been able to find any meaningful information until she watched the book of life and death close and disappear in front of her.

In other words, it was a useless journey at all, and she didn't find out about the whereabouts of "her".

In the endless darkness, she instinctively wanted to pull her legs to chase the heavy life and death that had disappeared backwards, but no matter how much she ran, she couldn't grab anything but herself in the endless void, but the exhaustion that had been accumulated for a long time seemed to suddenly weigh on her heart, pressing her breathlessly.

"Wait!! What's going on, is there something wrong..."

Before she could finish the sentence, she noticed a feeling of being pulled by something on her wrist.

She suddenly turned her head to look at the red rope that was originally tied to her hand, and at some point the red rope between her wrists had been quietly untied, and then the whole broken red rope suddenly shimmered in the darkness, pointing out the direction of the exit, and the end of the red rope quickly dissipated like a thread in the direction from which it came.

"Wait..."

Tang Yuanyuan said such a sentence a little weakly, turned his head and glanced at the direction where the life and death book disappeared, and finally chased after the red rope without choice.

She thought it was odd, she didn't get any useful information on the book, but her "relationship" with Number Four was broken, which meant that there was some rule that her "price" had been completed.

Is that really enough?

Tang Yuanyuan asked himself this in his heart, but no matter how he thought about it, he didn't seem to be very comfortable.

In addition to the so-called equal transaction conscience, she always felt that there seemed to be something strange hidden in this matter, because since she came to this life and death detention center, she felt that everything was completely messed up....

Chaotic space, familiar feelings, wrong predictions, missing existences, unknown anomalies....

All this made her feel as if something had been arranged for her journey to find Life and Death Thin, and even the moment when Life and Death Thin disappeared into the darkness at the end, she seemed to feel a distant gaze from the dark abyss that should have no end.

But at that juncture, she didn't have time to hesitate, she could only follow the only red rope that could be seen in the darkness and turn back, because this was something that Number Four had repeatedly instructed, once the red rope representing fate was broken, it would quickly dissipate, and if she didn't catch up with its tracks, she might be trapped in this endless darkness forever.

Tang Yuanyuan could only chase the glowing red rope and run in the empty darkness, because she couldn't judge the distance by sight, she didn't know how far she ran in the dark, but in the chase, she found that the red rope that symbolized the life-saving straw was disappearing faster and faster.

It didn't seem to be sloppy at all, she couldn't help but speed up her steps, her eyes fixed on the red rope and ran lifelessly.

"Slow down...... Wait......"

The way back seemed to be very different from the one she had come to do, and she soon found herself tired from the chase, and her breath became short, but she did not dare to slow down her steps.

Fearing that the red rope was getting farther and farther away from her, she tried to reach out and grab it again as she approached, but she couldn't catch anything when she reached out several times.

But I don't know if it's too much illusion or if she's running really hard, after a chase, the red rope does seem to be closer to her, she can't help but smile slightly, and her heart says that it's only a little bit away from catching up, as long as she runs within the safety of the red rope, she doesn't have to worry so much about chasing and losing.

But in the moment when she was a little relieved, she suddenly realized that her right leg was grabbed by something.

The already somewhat weak body couldn't stop for a moment because of inertia, and the whole body instinctively fell forward, Tang Yuanyuan fell to the ground hard, and it hurt so much that she felt that her internal organs were being squeezed when she inhaled.

She didn't care about crying out in pain, and when she came back to her senses, she immediately raised her eyes to see the red rope that was rapidly disappearing, and then tried to stand up, but found that the thing that had tripped her ankle was still not moving.

She had to look back at her ankle, which had been grabbed by something, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw a wilted arm with a bluish glow on her lap.

The arm glowed faintly glowing, and the palm of the hand was fixed between her ankles in a bony twisted posture.

Tang Yuanyuan was not frightened by the scene in front of her, nor did she have the kind of idle heart to be frightened, she looked at the arm that was so blue and white that it was so fluorescent that she gritted her teeth and shook her legs, and kicked a few more times, but she couldn't shake her hand off.

She couldn't move at all if she couldn't shake off this hand, and the red rope that quickly disappeared was already getting farther and farther away from her.

The surroundings that could still be illuminated by the red rope quickly became darker and darker, and as Tang Yuanyuan struggled to break free from that arm several times, her surroundings gradually returned to an empty darkness.

A sense of powerlessness and despair came over her, and she looked back in the direction where the red rope had disappeared, only to see a glimmer of light that was about to disappear into the darkness.

And in the next second, even that glimmer of light in her field of vision completely disappeared, and she completely lost the opportunity to pursue the red rope.
