After the dance, the atmosphere was still so warm. The guests shouted the names of the bride and groom. Lancer Xu silently watched the two people pouring the huge champagne tower. The amber nectar flowed on the glass, as if the memory was in his heart.
Backflow...
Those vague memories came back. His mother put him on the bed and closed the door.
"You came out so soon?"
Tan Lin, who was in the hotel lobby, was stunned for a moment. He encouraged his friends to go to his ex-girlfriend's wedding to cause trouble, but Lancer only wanted to go alone, so he was outside ready to "response" at any time. God knows what outrageous things will happen.
A caring friend will naturally get things done.
The young man with a beard all over his face and his hair hanging down had a calm face, and his long eyelashes that were lowered seemed to be stained with crystal tears.
"When I was two years old, my mother put me on the bed at my grandparents' house. She left and I never saw her again... There are so many people who have lost their parents and they can all grow up, but I always hope that
Have someone to love and have a family of your own."
Tan Lin originally wanted to tease him about his weakness, but seeing the solemn expression on his face, he could only accompany him for a walk in the market.
"I met that girl at an age when others were still ignorant. She was so beautiful, as unreachable as the stars in the sky. I made up my mind to pursue it no matter how far away it was. After all these years, it was just a dream.
, all in vain..." Lancer raised his head and looked at the sky through the gaps in the skyscrapers. The neon lights on the ground were always too bright, and the sky in Manxing City was always dark.
"Now you can choose girls at will, cheer up, the sky will not fall when you are heartbroken." Tan Lin muttered.
Lancer turned a deaf ear, as if immersed in his own world: "But who can return to the earth from the sky so quickly? I am afraid of the fate of ordinary men, digging for food from the soil full of thorns, bending down and sweating.
, to support my wife and children, I don’t want to be a long-term meal ticket. At this point, I can’t blame Lily. She just wants to find a man to rely on for the rest of her life, but I don’t really want this kind of down-to-earth stability.
In life, those fallen comrades have turned into stars in the sky, waiting for my revenge... I am really not the groom of this wedding. The stage of my dream is bigger, and my journey is a sea of stars."
"Boss, some people say that you are like a clerk who got into the wrong profession, busy recording and studying every day, but I found that you are really a first-class general." Tan Lin patted his shoulder like a friend, his eyes full of comfort and appreciation.
look.
"I, the youngest recipient of the Order of the Purple Star, am too incompetent. I just fired a few cannons at the Plato Star. One day, my fleet will attack the White House of Foch and wipe out those proud warriors."
These words made Tan Lin speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. No Gaia general dared to outline such a grand goal - to destroy Plato.
A strong cold wind blew, making people shiver. The few pedestrians on the street were all hunkering down and walking in a hurry.
Perhaps it was an illusion caused by the harsh winter. Everything in the city was extremely bleak. The always bustling nightlife in Mangxing City seemed to be gone forever. The colorful storefronts that stayed open all night and the mobile food stalls that flew around at night suddenly disappeared.
The facades of closed shops are covered with political statements or weird graffiti. The ground is littered with garbage and debris. Homeless people have set up shabby tents in dark alleys. Everything is filthy.
And bleak.
Everyone can smell the lifeless feeling of despair in the air. The city of light, the city that never sleeps - "Mangxing City" will soon enter the eternal night.
The disk-like "Hecate" slowly rises from the ridgeline of the distant Artemis Mountains, and then, on the side of the metropolis piled up like colorful glass, the smaller "Selene"
"Also rising, now
At night, there is a peculiar "double full moon". As the two satellites slowly rise, their light begins to glow red. Until they rise to the zenith, they look like two horrifying red blood masses, shining on the vast sky.
The land of Gaia.
Under the reflection of the double blood moon, the "Moonlight Forest" shows a dark and strange appearance. Numerous broad-leaved plants have only bare branches left, like countless twisted bones intertwined layer by layer. There is no sound of wind, but there is...
Trembling slightly, as if waiting for some invisible signal.
The blood-red moonlight spilled into the forest, like bursts of low and eerie music. The sound became stronger and stronger. The moonlight was thick with blood-red color, like blood seeping into the earth. The shadows under the tall evergreen pine forest became
It is getting deeper and deeper, as if it is shrouded in thick dark red mist. Each ray of blood moonlight falls on the canopy and leaves of the forest, burning every inch of the land like a flame.
As if feeling the arrival of the "double blood moon", the plants began to move closer to the blood light strangely. Thick rhizomes crawled out of the soil, slowly squirming, the bark cracked, and dark brown liquid oozed out, as if the plants had changed.
They are hungry and thirsty, waiting for sacrifices. Not to mention the animals in the "Moonlight Forest", they are restless, with terrifying whistling sounds one after another, or wails one after another.
In an instant, the entire forest fell into a dead silence again, and all creatures seemed to be holding their breath, motionless, and waiting.
"It's time, the 'Complete Sacrifice' begins, let's go."
Xuanji, wearing a black cloak, stood high on the cliff, turned up her hood, and turned around silently.
Her two loyal maids, Anu and Marta, followed her in white cloaks. The three of them were like ghosts under the bloody moonlight, walking through the dark path. At the end of the path was a huge cave with crystal clear
Crystals shine through the cracks in the rock, decorating the huge arched cave entrance like a circle of shimmering light.
A bit of cold air flew out from the entrance of the cave, and the three of them walked into the dark cave without hesitation.
Xuanji took the lead and walked, step by step, so determinedly.
In the end, she embarked on this path.
The road in the cave was unexpectedly smooth, but unexpectedly long. They walked for a long time, as if they were isolated from the human world and fell into a dark different time and space. Only the various crystal clusters with strange shapes on both sides fluoresced, illuminating this place.
It's like a road leading to the underworld.
She closed her eyes, and the scene of entering the deep underground of "Dragon Pagoda Temple" with Kalki suddenly flashed, "Don't be afraid, I will not give up on you." The voice of the grand leader sounded. He was no longer her knight.
, she was the only one to face this world. The memory of being loved touched her sensitive heart like a thorn. After a burst of pain, she pulled it out and left it behind with flesh and blood.
