Chapter 2: A Twisted World
The faint sunlight shone through the gap between the wooden planks on the slightly dilapidated bed, and a dark teenager was closing his eyes tightly, and his face showed a sad and somewhat hasty expression, which seemed to be a nightmare.
"No!", the boy shouted involuntarily, and then sat on the bed panting, cold sweat streaming down his face.
"It was just ...... Tombstone ......", the young man couldn't help but close his eyes, unwilling to think of the nightmare just now, that was the last thing he wanted to see, and it was also the ending that would make him feel extremely regretful.
But, fortunately, it was a dream...... The boy whispered alone, slightly relieved. As long as you haven't witnessed it with your own eyes, that kind of thing won't happen, and there will still be a chance. The boy thought a little by chance.
"Speaking of which, where is this?", the boy said with some confusion after taking a look at his surroundings after reaping the effects of the nightmare.
"That guy didn't explain where he was all at once, what an irresponsible guy......" The young man looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't confirm where it was.
"The body is still intact...... But...... I always feel that my body has subsided a lot, ah......", the boy raised his somewhat weak arms, confirmed that everything was okay, and then concluded to himself.
"The current situation...... It's dangerous...... I don't know what the hell this is......" he was about to get out of bed and check out the world outside the window. Although the body's mobility has decreased a lot, the sharp six senses are still maintained.
With a creak, the wooden door that had been closed was pushed open, and the dimly lit room was illuminated by a not-so-dazzling light, and behind the door was a girl dressed in black and carrying a blue-black spear on her back. Maybe it's a bit inappropriate to describe it as a girl.,More precisely, it's the standard Lori body type.,She's also wearing Hanfu with an ancient style.γ
"Hey, are you awake?", Hei Lori said with some surprise, looking a little surprised by the boy's wake-up.
"Are you?", the boy had already gotten up and wanted to walk down, but he felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body, and had to give up this idea, because his body seemed to be filled with mercury, heavy and lifeless.
"Well, let's talk about it a little bit...... Well, my name is Zhao Lu, and I can be regarded as the commander of the town in this area, although the ability is not enough, but now is also a period of no choice......", Hei Lori began to talk about her identity with some embarrassment.
"Zhao Lu?", the young man looked at this black loli, and put down a big stone in his heart, if the one in front of him said that he was Zhao Yun, it is estimated that his eyes would fall out, but fortunately not.
"Well...... Just call me Xiaolu!After all, we're partners!", the girl said with a smile, so innocent that even the slightly dim room was much brighter.
"I'm Zhang Chen, but ...... Where the hell is this?", Tatsuya introduced himself slightly, and then looked at the girl in front of him with a puzzled face, he didn't understand how the girl in front of him was sure that she was her partner. In fact, Chen doesn't even know where he is now.,I don't know who to ask for many questions in my heart.,And the girl in front of you should know, right?
"Ah~ Chen must have a lot of problems now, right?But I'll explain these one by one, after all, I'll be companions in the future!", the girl looked at Chen, and her face bloomed with a smile again, with inexplicable confidence.
Although she didn't understand why the girl was so sure that she was her companion, Tatsumi could sense that there was no malice in her. Now I can only trust her first...... Chen sighed and looked at Zhao Lu who was sitting on the edge of his bed.
"Well...... Where is the best place to start?", the girl scratched her head in some confusion and thought to herself.
"I said ......? Zhao Lu...... No, Xiaolu, do you have any food on you?", Chen interrupted the girl's thinking a little embarrassedly, and asked embarrassedly.
"Eh~ I almost forgot about this question, you've been in a coma for seven or eight days, and you're hungry now, right?", the girl was interrupted by Chen's words, and then suddenly remembered this matter, and said apologetically.
"Seven or eight days...... Looks like it's been a long time...... But it's not even better......," Tatsu smiled wryly.
"Huh...... Not for a long time...... When I first came to this world, I heard from others that I was in a coma for nine days, a little longer than you!", the girl comforted.
"Ah, you're not from this world?", this time it was Chen's turn to be surprised, if the girl in front of him was not from this world either...... So what the hell is this place? Tatsumi was confused.
"There are still wise people left in this world, and they are basically not people from this world, that is, we ......", the girl closed her eyes, and the original smile was also put away, revealing a lonely and sad expression.
"We?", Tatsumi looked at the girl's sad expression, but he couldn't interrupt, because it seemed that the girl had remembered something bad and was very sad now.
"Sorry...... I think of something terrible......," the girl said with a reluctant smile.
"I'm sorry...... All of a sudden, it reminds you of such a bad thing......," Tatsumi said apologetically.
"It's okay...... I've always had to face these things, but I can't ......let go of them until now," the girl was silent for a long time before she finally spoke.
"So I'll talk about it...... About where we are now. The girl told what she knew seriously.
"None of us are from this world, or rather, we are all chosen ones who have been summoned, given the strength to fight those monsters, and our mission is to defeat the demon king who has reappeared in this world, Yuan Lu Zhi!"
"Yuanlu Zhi...... Could it be ......" Chen already had some guesses about this world in his heart, especially when he heard the name Yuan Lu Zhi, he immediately reacted, this is the world of the Peerless Great Snake.
"Why do you call it that?", Tatsumi asked with a frown, puzzled.
"Well...... Actually, I don't quite understand it, but ...... Is it true that we have been given extraordinary powers, and we are chosen by Providence? The girl raised a hand, and then gradually lit up with a blue light, and finally converged into a ball of light. In the dimly lit room, it was as if a star had suddenly appeared, and a faint blue glow shone on the faces of the two people.
"This is ......", Chen looked at the ball of light made by the girl, and the figure of another teenager suddenly appeared in his mind, also manipulating such a similar ball of light, but it was significantly stronger, not at all on an order of magnitude.
Tatsumi shook his head slightly, suppressing the memory that had come up in his heart out of nowhere, and continued to listen to the girl's answer.
"This is the power we have been given, and you have it too, but you may not have noticed it yet, and when your body recovers, you can start giving it a try. ", the girl began.
"This power is believed to come from the 'star', that is, it provides the source of strength for our generals. But on the other hand, there is another force that is opposite to us, that is, the power of 'desolation'...... And Yuan Lu Zhi is the core of the wilderness, and we must defeat him in order for us to return to the original world. β
"Is that so......", Chen listened carefully, and some questions began to appear in his heart.
"So can someone defeat that? If it's the core part of the wilderness, then it must be that Cheng DΓΉ is no longer in the realm of humans, right?", Tatsumi thought for a moment, and then asked his own question.
"That's why...... That's why we lost miserably...... I thought that I could suppress that ...... with the power of the stars But I didn't expect that all the people who entered the city to besiege at that time were all defeated...... I was spared because I was left behind. The girl closed her eyes and remembered the ghost town that was permanently shrouded in darkness.
"Are all the generals caught by Yuan Lu Zhi now?" Chen couldn't help but care about this matter, after all, he had just come here, and he still needed to analyze the current situation as much as possible.
"Not all the generals were caught, and some of the generals who stayed behind, such as me, escaped. However, none of the generals who broke into it were able to escape. The girl's face was very bad, and she seemed to be very concerned about this matter.
"As long as there are still people who can escape, then we still have a chance. Chen's voice of consolation.
"Yes...... As long as we are not completely wiped out, there is still hope!", a smile appeared on the girl's face again, and the bad mood just now was swept away.
"Well...... But...... Xiaolu: Do you have any food on you...... It's a bit ...... to be asleep for so long", before Chen finished speaking, he saw her run out, leaving a sentence: "I'll go get it first......".
"He's a very kind person......," Tatsumi thought with a smile as he looked at his disappearing back.
"But it's a terrible situation here...... Most of the martial artists will be caught, and this is the rhythm of going to Lu Zhi alone...... Isn't it likely...... If it is really the core of the absurd...... I don't know how strong it is. Tatsumi sighed, and he sat on the bed and thought about these things quietly.
"It's going to take a few days for your body to recover,......" Tatsumi muttered, waving his hands and feeling his slightly stronger arm.
"Let's stay for the time being, Xiaolu said just now that it's safe here, and nothing should happen, right?"
"It's a strange world...... There is a sense of fragmentation and unreality...... Maybe it's the power of 'Star' and 'Waste' that has affected this place?, but why is there an inexplicable sense of familiarity......", Tatsu's voice became more and more low, as if he was distressed about something.
