The first boulder pillar emerged from the water, like a signal, and the successive boulders were stacked to reveal a huge city, and the bleak moonlight shrouded a huge stone fortress on the high ground, and the black shadows floating in the air whispered with countless sinister smiles, like birds of freedom breaking through the cage, flying everywhere.

It took a long time.

Lin Qiao couldn't wait to think about how eerie and magnificent it was when it rose, but the excitement passed, and fatigue welled up, and soon she curled up in Chu Ji's arms and fell asleep.

She missed the gentle early glow and was staring at the crescent moon with a gloomy face, having her first face-to-face conversation with herself.

"I am you, representing your will, there is no denying that you also like her."

"Don't go against her will."

She's going to hate you."

"She can only be mine."

Murmured whispers were filled with tyrannical emotion, and giant tentacles were thrown out of the water, screaming ferociously at the sky.

月辉变得血红一片，诡异的氛围笼罩着整座城市。

When he threw his feet back into the water, there was a little noise, Lin Qiao opened his eyes and asked dimly, "The city has risen?" ”

Chu Ji patted her back, leaned over to block her view, and her hideous and fierce face changed to the obedient appearance of a little sheep in a second.

"Haven't had a good night's sleep, honey, and you'll be able to see me when the sun rises."

温柔的轻哄声让林乔很快再次睡去。

初霁再次仰望正确星辰序列下的星空，沉声说：“只是来宣誓你的权柄？ Ravaging the world? No, I disagree, I admit that this was our original purpose, but this is Lincho's homeland, she doesn't want innocent casualties other than the damned, she's a kind child, and I fully respect her wishes. ”

"If you do that, it will make her sad and even disgusted with me."

"She will abandon me, do you want to be abandoned too?"

“.”

No one knows what is being said on the other side.

This ends with the conversation, and the moonlit moon gradually returns to normal.

林乔在睡梦中做了一个怪异的梦，她看见了一只长着章鱼头身体却像恶龙构造的怪物浮在太空中，那双血红的恶魔之眼无端熟悉，又含着恶意凝视她。

A strong feeling of suffocation hit like a tide, panic enveloped his heart, and Lin Qiao glared back with the same hatred.

She didn't know where her mouth was, she didn't know where her hands and feet were, as if an ethereal consciousness had been summoned to the gods.

祂什么话也没说，可能嘴巴就掩藏在那一堆巨大的触足下方，也可能祂没有嘴，惯用意识在交流。

In short, it is a category that ordinary people can understand, Lin Qiao mustered up his courage after being frightened, and said to him in a voice that he didn't know if it came from his mouth: "Stay away from me." ”

话出口的那瞬间，她看见了这只在宇宙中都异常显眼的庞然大物，眨眼间摧毁了身边几颗耀眼的恒星，爆炸的震波呈环形向她扫来，带着沉雄的怒气。

Lin Qiao suddenly woke up from his dream, like a fish that had been struggling on the ground for a long time and finally jumped back into the water, clutching his chest and gasping for breath.

"Are you awake?"

不远处的初霁听见动静闻声过来，手指拭去她鬓角的汗水，“做噩梦了？ ”

Lin Qiao looked at him, his voice hoarse, "I had a nightmare, will he come?" ”

"No, it won't."

Chu Ji comforted her, "Not dear for the time being, probably your threat has played a role." ”

Lin Qiao relieved himself, "Do you know what my nightmare is?" ”

"Of course." He smiled and said, "When the sequence is correct, perception becomes clearer and the eye can see farther." ”

They are inherently one, and it's not surprising that they know each other and communicate with each other.

"Don't worry too much, nothing you imagine will happen." Chu Ji whispered in her ear, and wrapped her in warm body temperature, making her feel her true self.

In any case, he was angry that "himself" had deliberately intimidated her, but he couldn't do anything now.

"If I could, I would take His place." He kissed her cheek and said gently, "Shall you take it easy and eat some toast now?" I added a little marshmallow on top and it was sweet. ”

The lover's Wu Nong's soft words worked, and Lin Qiao finally relaxed.

After eating a piece of sweet, soft toast, she began to look at the place, where Chu Ji had been moved to the stone town along with the bathtub while she was asleep.

Now the sun is rising, and there are angulars shining on this place full of cold boulders, seaweed hanging high everywhere, and in the center there is a huge stone gate that can't even be seen by the sun.

It opened symmetrically inward, as large as the stone pillars that were so tall that she felt dizzy.

Carved out of the façade was a monster identical to the one she had seen in her dreams, its terrifying tentacles crawling out of almost the entire frame.

"What's in there?" Lin Qiao asked.

“石头，宝箱，被释放的奴仆。”

"Now it looks like there are only exaggerated rocks here, and there are no fields to farm." Lin Qiao just glanced around the periphery and came to a conclusion with certainty.

Chu Ji: "We can go out and buy it, along with the seeds." ”

Lin Qiao approved of the idea, and as he walked inside, he asked, "Who is the slave?" A fish-headed man as similar to Mrs. Jonah, or an infected xenomorph? ”

"Neither."

进入神殿的厅堂，里头浮动着一股绿油油的瘴气，密密麻麻的蝙蝠群倒挂在顶部，那些眼睛齐刷刷睁开时吓了林乔一跳，后退两步撞进初霁的怀里，被祂的手臂贴心揽住。

"Just some bats, my dear."

"Your servant isn't in charge of cleaning, is he? It's also too dirty. Lin Qiao persuaded herself to calm down, this was just a journey back to her mother's house, and the first thing she thought of should be such a big land, Chu Ji couldn't sweep it with a hundred tentacles and brooms.

随着两人一路走过，不知名的光亮从两边的石缝凹槽里亮起，在绿色的瘴气下模糊又诡异。

一般人只需要偷窥一眼就会疯狂的神殿内部，被伟大的神明压制住了全部魔咒，小心翼翼的欢迎着爱人的到来。

“它们可能没有这个意识。” Chu Ji smiled and explained to her, "They followed me through time and space to come here, the original intention was to kill, they were born for war. ”

乔纳夫人说过，最早的时候跟初霁发生战争的并不是人类，而是相同的外星种族，人类是被外星种族创造的，对于只是从身体分裂出来一部分的代行者初霁而言
