Chapter 8: The Escape (2)
Earthy yellow skies, and... Endless stretches of cracked loess as far as the eye can see.
Without a glimmer of life, this is just one of the dead lands on a vast continent......
Nothing that is alive can escape the punishment of war.
Mo Yu slowly opened his eyes, but he didn't dare to open them too much, but despite this, the strong light pierced into his eyes through his eyelashes, and it was still a little sore.
The pain all over his body tore at this weak body, and his bruised body went through the toss just now—the rift in the space that he never wanted to enter again in his life—which made him lie down now.
The blazing sun continued to bake him, and Mo Yu tilted his head, slightly avoiding the sunlight, squinting to observe the land, trying to gather some information from the surroundings.
But he failed, and all around him was parched land, there was nothing superfluous, and there was not even a single bird in the sky. And it's dry, extremely dry.
"It felt like being in the desert. ”
Mo Yu was stunned, desert, a familiar and unfamiliar word, what is a desert?
Ever since he woke up in his stronghold outside of Loham, he had always subconsciously popped up some familiar words in his mind, he knew that he didn't belong to this world, but he couldn't remember where he came from or what he had done in the original world.
Mo Yu rubbed the ground with his hand, generally the ground that is dry and dry due to lack of water will be very strong, but it is different here, the land is seriously desertified, and the places Mo Yu touched are broken into fine gravel and flow into the cracks in the ground.
"How can this be?" Mo Yu grabbed a handful of sand and shook it, it was like dust, light and fluttering, and the sand was full of scorching breath, and it couldn't be shaken.
There was a slight vibration on the ground, Mo Yu put his ear to the ground, and the rumbling sound reached Mo Yu's ears, and a dark shadow appeared on the distant skyline, which he didn't even notice when he observed the terrain just now.
"Will there be someone here?" Mo Yu shook his body, but it was useless except for feeling severe pain all over his body, "No...... Must stand up......"
Mo Yu glanced at the black shadow in the distance again, and now he could see the face of the black shadow - a dark green off-road vehicle.
Mo Yu tried to stand up with his arms on the ground, wanting the car to see him, this may be the only chance - to leave this place.
It was easy to spot a person in a large open field, and soon, the car began to drive towards it.
Mo Yu lay flat on the ground and continued to observe the car with his eyes, there were three or four people sitting in the car, all with weapons in their hands, it seemed that war was indispensable in such a desolate place.
The off-road vehicle drove to a place more than ten meters away from Mo Yu and stopped, two people jumped down from it, and walked towards Mo Yu quickly, Mo Yu squinted and pretended to be dead.
Soon the two of them drove in front of him, judging from their appearance, the two were obviously not from the Holy See, both of them were wearing the most ordinary training clothes, one of them looked older, with a spear on his back, and his hands were calloused at the joints of his palms due to years of friction with weapons, and his steps revealed a sense of calmness;
"This kid is in the inner area of 'Divine Punishment', and he is not dead. The young man put his hand on Mo Yu's nose and probed, "But looking at this bruise, I'm afraid it won't last long." What to do?"
"Tie it up and take it away. The middle-aged man in the back left a sentence, turned around and walked towards the car.
"Do you still need to tie it?" the young man glanced at Mo Yu, then at the back of the middle-aged man, and finally took out a rope from his back......
Mo Yu only felt a sharp pain in his chest, shoulders and whole body, his eyes went black, and he lost consciousness again......
In a vague dream, Mo Yu seemed to see the black shadow that was haunting him again. But he didn't even have the strength to dream now......
I don't know how long it took, Mo Yu slowly opened his eyes, his vision was dim, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fine veil.
"This is ......" Mo Yu rubbed his eyes hard, wiped off the "fine yarn" in front of him, and sat up from the bed with his hands supporting his stiff and sore body.
There was a refreshing fragrance in the air, and an ice candle that hadn't been burning for long was sitting on the cabinet next to the bed.
He slept in the middle of the house, and there was a bed opposite him, and the quilt on the bed was messily spread.
The door to the room was ajar, no outside could be seen from the inside, no sound could be heard, there were some slashing marks on the door, and a crowbar was placed next to the door, but it was clearly not violently opened.
Mo Yu slowly walked down to the ground, there was a pair of dry new white shoes on the ground, he found that his clothes had also been changed, the one in Luoxian City had long been worn out because of those battles, but what he was wearing now was a gray papal uniform, but it was old-fashioned.
Everything seemed too weird, everything seemed to be ready for him, Mo Yu quickly put on his shoes, picked up the key on the table casually, and walked cautiously towards the door.
There was no sound, even Mo Yu himself didn't want to make a sound, he picked up the crowbar next to the door, held it tightly in his hand, and then slowly pushed the door open with his hand.
A mist carrying a strong fragrance wafted in through the door frame, and Mo Yu took a puff gently.
In front of the door is a straight purple corridor full of fog, because of the fog, it is not clear that he can see too far away, but looking at the road nearby, Mo Yu always feels that there is something weird.
The whole corridor seemed to be alive, like the giant mouth of a monster, waiting for him to step in.
The more Mo Yu looked at it, the more miserable he felt, and subconsciously took two steps back, retreated into the door, and a light breeze blew over and gently closed the door.
Mo Yu sat on the bed, staring at the door blankly, he felt that his courage was getting smaller and smaller, before the war began, he always liked to scare himself, sometimes he looked at himself in the mirror for a long time and felt hateful, timid but his imagination was quite rich.
Mo Yu shook the crowbar in his hand again, and a weapon in his hand was a little quieter, but he was still a little scared when he thought of that corridor.
Why a corridor would scare him so much. It was a fear that came from within.
Mo Yu eased his mood, stood up and walked to the door again, opened the door hard, and walked out with a sharp step, but then he was stunned, the straight corridor in front of the door was gone, and the fog in the corridor was gone, replaced by a horizontal corridor, and he almost hit the wall with that step just now.
Mo Yu looked back, but the door behind him disappeared at some point, merging with the wall of the corridor.
There are no words that can describe Mo Yu's current mood, is it fear? This is obviously not the corridor just now, will this room move?
The corridors are all made of white, and there are no gaps between the walls, floors, and the top floor, as if they are one, and I don't know how there is light.
The top is not high, just enough for Mo Yu to pass upright, and the walls on both sides are not wide, so three or four people can stand side by side.
Mo Yu looked left and right, and walked up the corridor on the left. In the corridor on the right, a dark shadow flashed......
Mo Yu held the crowbar in his hand and walked slowly along the corridor, the corridor was very long, there was no end in sight, he was the only one in the long corridor, Mo Yu's heart was almost hanging in his throat, cold sweat rolled down his head, the hand holding the crowbar was also soaked, his legs were weak, as if he would lie down at any time.
It's too quiet......
As soon as it was dark, Mo Yu suddenly fell into infinite darkness, fear surged like a tide, the originally bright corridor became extremely dark in an instant, and all the light disappeared in an instant, without a sound, let alone a trace.
Fear spread in his heart, Mo Yu's body trembled slightly, his nails almost sank into his palms, and he was driven to madness step by step by the endless darkness......
Suddenly, a bright spot appeared under Mo Yu's feet, which was particularly dazzling in the corridor where he couldn't see his fingers, and the bright spot continued to expand, gradually dispelling the surrounding darkness, but Mo Yu couldn't see anything but light.
The original hallway seemed to be gone, replaced by a large, bright circle underfoot.
Mo Yugang breathed a sigh of relief and brought it up again, there are too many strange things in this place, and he doesn't know what is going to happen again.
Just thinking about it, the light suddenly dimmed, and Mo Yu felt that his feet were empty, and the muscles of his whole body suddenly tensed, and he fell down in an instant.
It was dark all around, and Mo Yu couldn't see anything, but the feeling of weightlessness made him tense for a long time, not knowing what would await him below.
He tried to relax slowly, which would make him feel better mentally. Just hope there won't be a few spikes underneath.
After a long fall in the dark, Mo Yu gradually lost his sense of direction, only felt that his knee hit something, and then his whole body lay on it, the severe pain made him grin in the dark for a long time, and his right leg seemed to have been smashed with a hammer, and he could barely move.
Some bright lights began to appear around him, like in the corridor, I don't know where it came from, but Mo Yu was in no mood to care about that, he was now trying to stand up, the pain in his leg disappeared a little, but it was still difficult to bend.
Mo Yu tried hard to keep his right leg straight, and stood up little by little, sweating all over his body, and the pain in his whole body seemed to be concentrated on his right leg.
The surroundings gradually lit up, and Mo Yu lifted his red, sweaty face, panting, trying to observe this new environment.
It was gray, and after looking at it for a long time, Mo Yu could distinguish his figure from the not too bright light, and he also saw the surrounding walls clearly, which turned out to be mirrors.
The surrounding walls are composed of eight mirrors, facing each other and contrasting with each other, making this space look quite spacious, Mo Yu lowered his head and looked, sure enough, the ground was also a huge mirror, and he was also looking down at himself above in the mirror.
The architectural style here is very special, a place is all built with one thing, the original hut, to the corridor, and then to the current unknown place, and the way to enter is different, but there is one characteristic: there is no way to go back. If you want to leave, you have to go to the next strange place.
Mo Yu stared at his figure in the mirror, and couldn't help but want to take a closer look, the figures in all directions surrounded him, no matter which side he was facing, he would be opposed to himself in the mirror.
Mo Yu was a little panicked, the mirror seemed to have disappeared, as if these eight people were in the same world as him now.
Mo Yu looked at these eight mirrors with himself vigilantly, did the mirror really disappear? The previous instance told him that what happened in this place would not be a good thing, it would be like a test one by one.
Eight of them were the same, but Mo Yu felt a different aura from them.
Mo Yu looked down at his feet again, the mirror under his feet didn't know when it disappeared, and under his feet, in the endless darkness, something seemed to be floating upward.
Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, a trace of silver thin lines seemed to want to float up, he was stunned again, looked up, although he didn't know why his mirror image couldn't be seen from the mirror, but it still seemed to be a mirror, and under the mirror was above himself.
In the mirror, above Mo Yu, a thin silver line hung down from the endless darkness on the top, and the eight mirrors of Mo Yu gradually turned into a trace of black smoke, slowly dissipating in Mo Yu's sight......
