Chapter 407: Manipulation

Soon, the birdman's eyes moved away from me, and he began to stare at the yellow liquid in his hand, and that deep gloom seemed to disappear in that moment.

He narrowed his eyes as if examining the liquid in his hand, his eyes solemn and deep, as if searching for the secret in them.

"How do you know?" I finally couldn't help but ask, I wondered how he knew I wasn't of this world.

The birdman smiled, his smile with a bit of sarcasm in it, he shook his head and said, "The breath on your body, your expression, your behavior, all tell me that you don't belong to this world." ”

I was stunned, I didn't know how to answer his words. All I know is that I can't go back to my original world now, and I can only struggle in this strange world.

I looked at the birdman in front of me, his figure seemed so lonely and desolate in the night.

I don't know what he went through, and I don't know what his purpose was.

All I know is that only he can give me an answer to my current situation.

I looked at him, he looked at me, and our eyes met in the darkness, as if forming a strange connection.

I could feel his heartbeat, his breathing, his pain, his loneliness. He seemed to be standing right in front of me, but he seemed to be far away.

"What the hell are you talking about?!" An indescribable horror welled up in my heart, and I always felt that I was close to reality, but it was terrible and made me tremble.

The birdman looked at me heavily, the feathers on his body stood up one by one, he didn't answer my question, but muttered, "Zhao Rui, do you know? I used to be human too. ”

I was blindfolded, I looked at the dense feathers on his body, looked at the tired and sad expression on his face, and fell silent.

I couldn't believe my ears.

Birdman, he used to be human?

The birdman didn't respond to me, just looked at me deeply, his eyes like a deep lake, which made it impossible to see through and guess.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, forming a strange arc, as if to mock my ignorance, but also as if to satirize his own sorrow.

My mind was in a mess, I didn't understand what he meant, how could he be human?

His image, his actions, his abilities, all made it impossible for me to connect him with humanity.

The birdman looked at me, his eyes filled with an endless abyss, and I seemed to be able to see in his eyes his history, his fate, his pain, his struggles.

His eyes pierced my heart so deep that I couldn't breathe or move.

The birdman plucked his feathers off, and for a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

The feathers shimmered silver-white in his hands, and the feathers on his body trembled slightly with his movements, like ripples on the surface of the sea, making people feel endless fear and uneasiness.

He took out a piece of red cloth from his robe, the crimson color seemed to carry some kind of curse-like power, and people did not dare to look at it directly.

And I recognized the cloth in that moment.

Once, I saw such a piece of cloth in Dong Jinshu's basement.

It was a mysterious statue, tightly covered by this red cloth, as if to hide the true face of that statue.

And now, this cloth is actually in the hands of the birdman.

The birdman gently wrapped his feathers in the red cloth as if he were giving me the most precious treasure.

His voice was low and hoarse: "Take it, it's the only thing I can do for you." I hope you don't become like me......"

I was slightly stunned, his words made me feel pressured.

I looked into his eyes, which were filled with endless abysses and pain.

There was indescribable sadness on the birdman's face: "Zhao Rui, don't trust anyone. ”

I instinctively asked, "Is that including you?"

Birdman chuckled faintly, his smile full of sarcasm and self-deprecation. He seemed to have seen everything: "Me? I'm probably not human. ”

I couldn't help but ask, "Why are you the way you are?" ”

He looked into my eyes, filled with endless pain and struggle.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, forming a strange arc, as if he was mocking me, and as if he was sarcastically mocking himself.

There was a hint of exhaustion on the birdman's face, and he looked at me with a deep sense of helplessness and sadness in his eyes.

I listened to the birdman's words, and a sense of sadness welled up in my heart.

His words are both subtle and profound, as if hinting at some unknown truth.

I needed to know more, I needed to figure out where I was.

Looking around, I found myself in a strange and ancient environment.

The hazy sky seemed to be shrouded in endless darkness, and there was not a single ray of sunlight in sight.

Surrounded by rugged mountain ranges, rocky mountains that resemble giant beasts. The grass and trees are withering, life is scarce, and there is a dead silence.

I looked at the Birdman, his figure standing out even more in the desolate environment.

He stood on a huge stone, as if he were one with the wasteland.

His figure was thin and tall, exuding a majesty and mystery unlike any other.

"Are you referring to the passage to another world?"

I tried to understand the Birdman's words.

He nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with a hint of mixed emotion: "Yes, that passage can connect two completely different worlds, but the rules and secrets in it are not understandable to humans. Only a few people will be able to find the entrance, and you ...... Maybe not one of them. ”

I felt a struggle in my heart, I was not willing to be confined to this strange world, and I longed to return to my homeland in search of answers.

"If I wasn't that particular person, then why did you give me this cloth and feather?" I asked.

The birdman's eyes deepened, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Because you are the only one who can see this, you have some special power in you, maybe this is your mission in this world." ”

My heart shook that the world was full of unknowns and mysteries for me, but I didn't want to give up, I wanted to uncover the truth of all this.

"Who do you mean by 'controlling my life'?" I'm trying to elicit more information.

The birdman's demeanor became more complicated, and there was a hint of pain in his eyes: "It is an omniscient being, and it controls everything, including your fate. You have to be careful not to be controlled by its power. ”

My heart trembled, who is this being? Why is it so powerful? I felt a surge of fear that I had never felt before, as if I had been grabbed by an invisible hand.

Seeing my puzzled expression, the birdman sighed: "Zhao Rui, everything you see is just the surface, and the truth of this world is far more complicated than you imagined. You have to be vigilant at all times and don't trust anyone easily. ”
