After he said the invitation, the tower behind him suddenly changed, and a huge square appeared on the side of the tower, and then countless voices came.

Akiri saw that there were people in the square striking iron, people holding animals and muttering to themselves, and people walking around in the tower, their clothes very similar to the young man in front of them.

"We have a total of 50 students and 6 teachers at the Tower Academy, and I ...... I'm the dean of the college, and my name is Wes. ”

There was inquiry in his eyes, these are probably not secrets, presumably if you inquire about it, you can find out, he is more to show Qiu Li his honesty.

Qiu Li smiled slightly, "Dean Wes, my name is Eve, thank you very much for the invitation, but I made an appointment with a friend today......"

Wes's expression didn't change, still with a gentle smile: "This is an invitation, you are always welcome to come." ”

He took a step back, and the door slowly closed as his words fell.

The noise around them died down again.

Everything was just like when she first arrived.

Akiri walked back to the road, on the left side of the road was the tower, and not far in front of the right side was the overly simple Elemental Temple.

She endured the uneasiness in her heart, but her face was still calm and light, in addition to the power of the rules, there was an aura in the tower that made her extremely jealous, she could not find a similar aura in her memory, but the uneasiness was everywhere.

With the departure of the Tower Academy, this uneasiness gradually dissipated.

Passing by the Elemental Temple, Akiri didn't walk in.

Curiosity kills the cat, and she has to learn a lesson.

After continuing to walk along this road for more than ten minutes, the sound of water was heard in front of me.

A stream cut the road, the stream was not wide, the banks of the stream were lush, and in the distance there was a fog, and a cold chill permeated the air.

A signboard stands prominently on the shore: [Swamp bend entrance, danger ahead, please do not pass through. 】

She was watching when an oil lamp floated up the stream, and the big-headed monster sat on top of it, and on the small oil lamp, the huge monster sat on it, and it looked very strange.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" The big-headed monster said to Akiri, "Come up, I'll take you to play." ”

It retracted one foot and gave up half of the oil lamp, and Akiri looked at the empty space, which was only three centimeters, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

The monster urged, "Come up." ”

Qiu Li gritted her teeth, the breeze under her feet entangled, she lifted her breath and jumped, tiptoe from the air and stepped on the oil lamp, as soon as she stepped on the oil lamp, she found that the empty position that originally looked like 3 centimeters wide was now as wide as ten meters.

She looked at the grass and trees on both sides of the river, not that the oil lamp had widened, but that she had become smaller, and the laughter of the big-headed monster rang out: "Hahahaha, isn't it amazing?" ”

Akiri, who was already frightened, almost pulled out the butcher knife.

The voice of the big-headed monster continued to sound: "Look at me, have I also become smaller, are you optimistic about ......"

Only then did Akiri realize that there was a big-headed monster standing on the oil lamp that had become smaller, and it was half-crouching on the other side of the oil lamp, pointing to the thick mist in front of it and saying, "Now, don't make a sound." ”

It quietly stared at the front with eyes as big as copper bells, and Akiri followed its example, and also half-crouched down, the huge wild grass on both sides was like a jungle, blocking the light, and the moment it came into contact with the fog, the oil lamp suddenly turned on.

Qiu Li glanced at her feet, the wick of the oil lamp was not hot, the light was soft, and the range of light was very small, only enveloping her and the big-headed monster.

The surroundings suddenly darkened, like a dark night, and there was hardly anything to be seen except for the glimmer of light beneath his feet.

A cold breath swept over the oil lamp, Qiu Li shivered, and then as if falling into the mud, surrounded by chaotic mud water, the light weakly supported a small vacuum, the body of the big-headed monster shrank even smaller, and Qiu Li also curled into a ball.

I don't know how long it took, the oil lamp suddenly fell, and a sense of weightlessness hit her, and she turned her face to look at the monster, and a smile appeared on its huge cheeks.

At this moment, the oil lamp suddenly stopped moving, the thick fog dispersed, and the muddy water did not know where to go.

A vast swamp appeared in front of Akiri's eyes.

She straightened up, and the swampy land was like the sea, boundless, with a meandering stream running through it, and a dense jungle in the distance.

The setting sun shines from the jungle, illuminating the scenery in front of you like a dream.

"Look, I've missed the swamp bend, thanks to you, I can finally go home."

The big-headed monster took a few steps forward, and Akiri looked down to see that the oil lamp under her feet was gone for some time, and her feet were on the solid ground.

Tens of seconds after sunset, it quickly sank to the horizon, plunging the swamp into boundless darkness.

A moment later, countless voices rang out from all directions.

Noisy, disorderly.

A pair of cold, slippery hands suddenly grabbed Qiu Li, "Is she a gift for me?" ”

A shrill laugh rang out at Akiri's side.

Countless stars suddenly lit up in the dark sky, and huge shadows wandered in the sky, and the stars were the cold light emitted by its huge belly.

Akiri used the light to see the monster holding her hand, which was clearly a monster similar to an octopus, but with a human face, fat lips that were splitting to the sides, and laughter kept ringing out from it.

Before she could make a move.

The big-headed monster slammed it away with all its might, blocking Akiri menacingly, "She's my friend!" ”

"But she ...... It's human, right? ”

After the octopus finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, staring at Qiu Li for a long time, and suddenly became a little uncertain.

While they were arguing, Akiri suddenly squatted on the ground, and she stretched out her hands to touch the earth.

A text appears in front of you:

[They have forgotten why they rest here...... Perhaps, there is something that keeps them from sleeping......]

"Big-headed monster, where does this stream go?" Akiri straightened up and asked.

Without waiting for the big-headed monster to speak, the octopus spoke, "The day of the countercurrent, the day of the countercurrent......"

The big-headed monster touched the huge head and said, "On the day of the countercurrent, the gap opens...... There seems to be another sentence at the end, I forgot. ”

"Yes, yes, it's been a long time since I went against the current, and I forgot about ......" The octopus writhed its tentacles and curiously touched Akiri's exposed skin.

"I used to ...... Isn't it also human? The octopus retracted its tentacles and suddenly fell into deep thought.

"What is the day of the countercurrent?" Akiri asked, looking at the stream in the distance.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the ground trembling under his feet, and it seemed that there were countless invisible beasts galloping......
