Lu Heng stepped on the dark path. The devil sleeps on both sides of the road, and the ghost of the wolf roams the streets. Their teeth are still dripping with blood, and their eyes are looking for their next prey.

Lu Heng cautiously avoided it and walked towards the depths of the forest.

The monsters inside are even more terrifying. Lu Heng couldn't call their names, these monsters should only exist in nightmares. Perhaps, what Lu Heng is experiencing now is a nightmare, a nightmare that he can't wake up from. Fortunately, Lu Heng's steps were very light, and his breathing was also cautious. As he passed by the monsters, the monsters were unaware and seemed to ignore him.

"Hold on a little longer!" Lu Heng thought to himself, "I will find my mother soon, and then take her out of this place." ”

This thought was so strong that it supported Lu Heng to go on step by step.

Suddenly, a bird with a human face passed over him. It was in every bedtime story his mother told him. It is like a calm bystander, appearing in the treetops or hiding in the cliffs, staring at Lu Heng with a cold gaze all the time.

Lu Heng only hoped that it would not expose itself at the moment, so he hurriedly waved his hand and motioned for the bird to shut up.

But the bird's face showed a strange smile, and he shouted coldly: "I see you, I see you!"

Lu Heng's face was pale, he hurriedly put his index finger to his mouth, shook his head vigorously, and said, "Shhhh

But the bird gloated and laughed, and howled nervously in a sharp voice: "He's coming, I've seen him!

The sleeping monster was awakened, and all eyes were focused on Lu Heng.

Lu Heng knew that it was not good, so he ran away. He heard the sound of footsteps and a low roar in the dark forest. He knew he couldn't fall into the hands of these monsters, they would eat their own flesh and drink their own blood.

The bird attracted a hungry wolf. It caught up with Lu Heng in three or two steps and bit him on the shoulder.

A piece of flesh was torn off Lu Heng's arm, and blood rushed out. But Lu Heng understood that he couldn't stop, he simply closed his eyes, no longer listened or looked, and just ran forward like crazy.

The monster's roar faded away, and even the annoying bird was left far behind. In the middle of the dark jungle emerges a tranquil lake, blue and deep, sleeping silently.

This is the end of Lu Heng's journey.

He looked around and shouted helplessly, "Mother!"

A voice came from the lake: "She's just an illusion, not your mother." ”

Lu Heng was startled and turned his head to look. The surface of the lake ripples and the waves rise and converge into the image of a person.

That was Lu Heng's own appearance.

He was surprised, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Who are you......?" What nonsense are you talking about?"

The man said, "I am you." To be exact – it's your heart.

I've been imprisoned here, and the monsters out there are all jailers. I'm telling you, everything you've experienced so far is fake. That woman is not your mother at all, but a vision that the demon king has shoehorned into your mind.

Think about it carefully, have you ever stepped out of the fishing village since you were a child? Do you remember what Uncle Wang, Uncle Niu, and Second Sister Hou looked like in the village?"

Lu Heng closed his eyes. Looking at the memories of these people on the Mao, Chinese, and Internet, it really became very blurry. They never seem to have faces, and their world really seems to be just a small fishing village. Even the nearby back mountains were shrouded in a dark mist.

Lu Heng felt that his memory could not be only like this. But even if he racked his brains, he couldn't recall anything.

His eyes widened and he said in horror, "Impossible...... It must be because I'm young. I'm only five years old, so it's normal that I haven't traveled far away...... Don't lie to me, I'm going home!"

His heart smiled coldly: "You are lying to yourself." Lu Heng, you are no longer a child, you have spent a full twenty-five years here. Today is your first awakening, and it took me a lot of effort to get you here. You look me in the eye and my eyes will tell you the answer. ”

Lu Heng stared at his heart, as if a cold wind blew into his mind, blowing away the warm and intoxicating black mist, and also unveiled the sharp teeth hidden under the veil of warmth.

Lu Heng felt a sharp pain in his head, as if something had exploded. He could barely stand on his feet, and muttered, "Damn, why deceive me, am I going to be imprisoned here forever?"

"Of course not. The heart said to him. "You can save yourself – it's hard, but there's still a glimmer of hope. Would you like to give it a try?"

"What happens if I fail?" Lu Heng asked.

"Sink into darkness forever, and I will cease to exist. In a sense, it's no different from dying. ”

"I thought it was a serious matter...... Lu Heng smiled slightly: "Isn't death just a companion with darkness? That's hardly a decent punishment to me. Tell me, what should I do?"

Xin nodded, flicked his hand, and three bright lights lit up on the lake. This orange glow makes people feel a little warm.

"Every light represents an opportunity. He said. "You can go anywhere in your life - I'll send you there. But what happens after that, salvation or destruction? ”

Lu Heng stared at the lights, and suddenly felt a little reluctant in his heart. He asked, "Am I the only one going?" and you don't come along?"

Sadly, he said, "I can't escape the cage, so you're the only one on this journey." Remember, you and I are one, so saving yourself is saving me. ”

"Good. Lu Heng nodded, and his tone became hard. "Send me over now, I'm going to see how hard it is. ”

The heart waved in silence, and the first light went out. The warm lake water rushed up and engulfed Lu Heng's body.

When Lu Heng woke up, there was a faint blue fire burning around him. He heard a shout of joy: "High priest, he is awake!"

Lu Heng struggled to sit up and look around: there was a strange magic circle painted on the ground, and there were some unintelligible words on it, sparks crackled on the surrounding candles, as if they had just experienced a carnival, and there was a faint whistling wind outside.

It was a tent, a large tent for nomads, as was evident from the lingering smell and the structure of the roof.

More than a dozen people lined up on either side, their hair on the left, their bodies draped in animal skins, and their faces painted with colorful patterns.

Lu Heng shook his head vigorously and asked, "Where am I...... Who are you?"

A big man glanced him up and down a few times, and asked arrogantly, "What's your name?"

Lu Heng smiled faintly: "Why should I tell you?"

"You ......" Dahan unconsciously raised his voice and said, "When has this been grinding and grinding? Do you know how grim the situation outside is now, and how much effort it took us to summon you?"

Lu Heng stood up, and at a glance he saw the pair of tiger head shoes under his feet and the small wooden sword beside him. This body is only five years old.

But even so, he didn't have the slightest fear of Dahan. In fact, he didn't know what fear was, and his heart was left in the lake surrounded by darkness.

"What does this have to do with me?" Lu Heng smiled: "If you wanted to ask me for advice, you should have been more respectful." ”

"Little bunny!" roared the big man viciously. He raised his fist like a copper hammer and smashed it towards Lu Heng's door. But Lu Heng only stretched out his hand and gently grabbed his wrist.

Dahan only felt that his wrist was stuck into an iron mountain, and he couldn't move a single inch at all. The sweat on his face fell in a flash.

"Stop messing around!" An old voice came from behind, and Lu Heng involuntarily let go of his hand.

"We are mistaken, this is not the person we are looking for...... the voice continued, "I know the man, who always regards the suffering of others as his own, and will never be so indifferent to others. Moreover...... On top of that, he only has one arm. ”

Lu Heng followed the prestige, but saw a white-haired old woman on crutches, and said to him tremblingly,

Lu Heng smiled: "Old lady, you look like a reasonable person." Can you tell me what's going on?"

The old woman shook her head in frustration: "It's not important. No one can save the world from the brink of destruction unless it is that person. Now that you're here, watch how the world is destroyed, it's a rare sight!"

Lu Heng walked to the door and lifted the tent through a gap to look.

The wind mixed with the yellow sand pierced into the tent like sharp knives. Tiny pieces of gravel were pounding on the outside, like the sound of war drums. The sky was dark, and the air was so muddy that it was hard to breathe. There seemed to be an endless mountain-like shadow standing in the wind and sand.

And the mountains look square, and they seem to be some strange structure.

Lu Heng laboriously closed the door, shook his head and said, "Indeed, there is really nothing to be nostalgic for in such a world. What are you going to do?

The old woman sighed: "Yes, everyone is tired, and no one wants to toss anymore." In order to summon the savior, people paid a terrible price. But now everything has come to naught.

We can endure suffering, but we must not lose hope. For us, however, the last hope is shattered......"

Lu Heng nodded: "That's good." In that case, I'm going to miss it. ”

"What are you going to do?" asked the old woman in surprise.

"Go out and see if you can change something. Lu Heng smiled faintly, "Maybe it's okay to save the world." "So arrogant and logical, the only person who speaks like this is Lu Heng.

"Wait a minute...... the old woman's voice suddenly trembled: "Have we met?"

Lu Heng shook his head: "It's a pity, I don't have an impression. ”

The old woman narrowed her eyes, and her mind flew to the distant past: "Maybe you forgot, but I still remember it clearly." It was when I first came into this world that I met a strange child.

He wears a pair of tiger head cloth shoes, with two buns tied on his head, and the whole person is as cute as a pink carving. Right...... That's what you are now.

He sat on my paper crane, and at a young age he uttered wild words that he would single-handedly correct the mistakes of the whole world. I remember his name, his name is Lu Heng. ”

"Coincidentally, my name is Lu Heng. Lu Heng said: "But I don't remember doing these things." Besides, the man was five years old many years ago, and he should have grown up by now, so it must not be me. Old lady, you recognize the wrong person. ”

"I won't admit it. The old woman said: "Even if I will admit mistakes in appearance, I will never admit mistakes in that child's expression." He only had one expression, and that was a smile.

He also told me that he was a heartless person. ”

Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and said, "It sounds like it's me......

The old woman walked solemnly in front of Lu Heng. Although she is very old, you can still find a trace of the old style on her cheeks. She wears a white blouse and a crimson skirt. Although he was on crutches, he was still straight, and he looked very different from the barbarians in animal skins.

The old woman said, "I'll introduce myself again." My name is Miyuki Sakura, a native of Fuso, Toei ......"

"Fusang Fusang ......" Lu Heng muttered softly: "Isn't that an overseas country?"

The old Miyuki nodded: "Yes, I may never have a chance to go back again in my life." I think that when I crossed the ocean to the Central Plains, it was to prevent a catastrophe from happening. However, no matter how hard you try, things have irretrievably gone to the worst......"

"Maybe it's not the worst yet. Lu Heng was still smiling heartlessly.

A flame of hope suddenly ignited in Meixue's eyes: "Lu Heng, listen to me: this magic circle under your feet is called the Phantom Array, which can summon a savior."

I'm going to summon a man named Li Can. His single sword is invincible in the world, and more importantly, he has a kind heart and a soul that will never back down. I thought he was the only one who could save the world......"

"Li Remnant ......" Lu Heng said silently: "Yes, I remember him." I've fought against him and I've teamed up with him. This man is indeed worthy of being my opponent. Lu Heng's eyebrows raised slightly: "Maybe one day I can share the victory or defeat with him." ”

Miyuki lamented, "You don't have this chance......"

"Oh? Why?"

"Because he's dead. Miyuki's dry eyes suddenly glistened with tears. "He came to this world by accident decades ago to find me.

I could have been with him and walked the rest of my life together. But his sense of responsibility did not allow him to do so, so he took that invincible single sword and directly challenged the root of the evil in this world.

Then ......"

Miyuki choked up: "And then he failed, like a tragic hero in an epic." From that day on, no one in the world could stop the expansion of Chaos. ”
