Chapter 11: Someone

The door opened. It was pitch black outside.

I stared at the darkness and couldn't move. The blackness was not hard, as if it were flowing, expanding, swirling, spilling in through the small open door of the transparent house. I felt like a lump of paint, someone was going to take a paintbrush, dip me, and paint me on that nightmarish black canvas!

"I'm so scared. I looked back at the Star Messenger with a trembling voice, trying to find a little comfort from him.

When did he actually stand in the far corner of the little house—as far away from the door as possible, his lips pursed and his expression in awe.

"Hey, what are you doing there, who the hell are we here to meet?" I looked at his wincing face.

"It's not us, it's you, Meiyi. He said softly.

"Okay, it's me! I'm going alone!, who are I going to see?" I said angrily, not knowing if I was using anger to hide my fear.

"When I went and saw me, I naturally knew who it was. He continued to whisper.

"Well, then you'll have to lead me in!" I said stiffly.

"No face-to-face without being called. As he spoke, he reached out and nudged me, and whispered, "Be careful, and be careful in your words—lest you injure the adults of your people." By the end, it was almost a whisper.

Stumbling through, I was outside the door. When I turned around, the door was closed. The small transparent house fell with a vague face of the Tsing Yi Star Envoy.

I was in this thick, inky black canvas. I was focused, and all I could hear was the sound of the hammer pounding: thump, thump, thump, yes, it was the sound of my heartbeat. I just closed my eyes, always, and when I closed them, it seemed like I could see the world more clearly, and that's not what I've been doing for 16 years...... Well, knock-knock-knock, the sound of the heartbeat slowed down. It was very quiet. I focused on catching the slightest breath of the other man, but I didn't hear anything. I reached out and groped in the dark, but I didn't touch anything. I stood still, motionless, and my heart gradually quieted down. At this moment, perhaps a little earlier, a sweet, warm, and somewhat dry fragrance seemed to recognize me in secret, and silently and timidly came to me, wrapped around the tip of my nose, and refused to go. The smell was a key, skilfully slipping through the nasal cavity and through the labyrinth, and then I heard a very light "click" and the key was unlocked - something was really opened!

I was swept up by a wonderfully familiar wave.

A moment of dizziness. I opened my eyes, took a deep breath, and asked aloud, "Hey, anyone? I've come to see you—to you. ”

No one answered.

I took another breath, lifted my foot, and took a heavy step—

The light fell on my feet, and the brightness in the darkness was like a knife splitting the surface, and the blade cut the surface, almost knocking me to the ground!

When I fixed my eyes, the whole world bloomed before my eyes. A huge sea of flowers, blooming in full bloom, the branches are splendid, the red and delicate are delicate, and they come out through the petals, and I am dumbfounded! Because, because this sea of flowers extends from the ground to the sky, it is like a flower waterfall hanging upside down in front of me, and when I look up, the flowers open at the tip of the nose, which seems to be near but not far, and the fragrance is attractive.

The flowers are luxuriant, but the variety is unique. If I'm not mistaken, this is the man-eating wall flower in the temple hall just now, the rose!

With palpitations, I stepped back a bit. Look at the sea of flowers all around, surrounded by ink-colored bookshelves, the bookshelves are towering into the clouds, it is impossible to see them all, and the books in the book grid are arranged, full of them, not to mention thousands! Presumably, this owner is a person who cherishes flowers and loves books. My heart moved to my brother, who was also a lover of books, who was waiting for me down there. I'm going to hurry back. Clearing my throat, I raised my voice into the air and shouted, "I'm Meiyi, I'm here to see you, and please show up." ”

Still no one answered.

The rose had scared me, but the room full of books made me happy, I couldn't help but get closer, take it out and see, what, these words are not the words on the books that my brother reads to me on weekdays, all kinds of twists and turns, all kinds of incomprehensible, change one, still can't understand, and then change one, it's still a book from heaven. I put the book back, bored, looking up to the sky and sighing, suddenly I saw that there was only one book in one of the books on it, leaning there alone, I was curious, I reached for it, I couldn't reach it, I stood on tiptoe, I couldn't reach it, I jumped up, I still couldn't reach it, just a little, a little, but I just couldn't get it.

My competitive spirit was enraged, and when I looked back, there was no sign of my master, and all right, I clinged to the shelves, and kicked the tray with my feet, trying to climb up and get the abominable book.

"You're just going to be a guest, Meiyi?" a very gentle voice sounded behind me, startling my soul, and my hands and feet paused in the air for a second, and before I could react, I was already scrambling to fall to the ground with a push of the book.

I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move, I didn't even dare to roll my eyes. The voice, as if I had heard it countless times in the chaos, was so soft that I became a reticulated creature, and the sound moved freely through my web.

"Get up. The voice said.

I got up as I was told, not caring about the pain in my body. With his back to the voice, he didn't have the courage to turn around.

"Want to read that book?" the voice asked. It's so gentle that it's poignant.

I didn't move. After a while, "Hmm." I nodded.

"You say, 'Come, flowers.' The voice said.

Hmm? I hesitated.

"You say, 'Come, flowers.' Again, the voice said, no doubt.

"Flowers, come. I said. Firmly believe.

There was a sound of squirming, and as soon as I bowed my head, I almost fainted, and several vines stretched out of the sea of flowers, and the flowers and leaves spread towards my feet—they were coming to eat me again! I screamed and tried to jump away, but the vines were already wrapped around my ankles, and in the blink of an eye they were around my waist and lifted me up. I screamed and screamed, unable to control myself, until the vine brought me to the book and reached for it, and I came to my senses—the vine helped me, not ate me.

I took the book, and the flower vine put me down steadily, and after a while, I disappeared back to the sea of flowers. And I, my back is soaked.

I held on to my book, but I didn't look back. Although this book looks old, there is no floating dust, and the footsteps are slightly rolled, and I think the owner often reads it. I held my breath, not knowing whether to look at it or not.

"Let's open it and take a look. The voice said. So gentle, you can only do it.

"Yes. I nodded, reaching out and turning the page.

As far as the eye can see, there is a huge shock in the heart. The book almost fell.
