Leticia felt like she was falling into an endless abyss. In the abyss, a blood-red full moon was disappearing. It gradually became distant, as if it had been swallowed up by the gloomy darkness. As the girl fell,
Gradually she relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, because she hated the full moon, especially the eerie, cold and deep blood moon. When the full moon could no longer be seen, her mood would become
Very reassuring.
"Forever, forever, disappear."
She murmured unconsciously, as if talking to herself or talking to an invisible ghost in the abyss: "Don't appear in my life again, I will never follow you."<
/p>
Because, in this chaotic world, there is still the person she loves.
At the same time, a cold, mechanical, emotionless voice suddenly sounded, echoing indifferently in the empty world, rising and falling like a tide, with an unstoppable momentum that was more majestic than the torrent of time.
Coming at you——

But the flames will burn everything out, and the ruins from a century ago will bury all the unwilling roars or angry whimpering to the bottom of the valley, sinking and struggling in the dark swamp, with nowhere to return.]

……
When she opened her eyes again, Leticia found herself in a warm embrace, with a faint fragrance lingering on the tip of her nose that made her want to squint her eyes and sleep. But Leticia did not fall asleep, instead she opened her eyes wide.
The eyes, as clear and bright as blood crystals, reflected a worried and concerned face: "Grandma!?"
"You're finally awake, Leticia." Neville breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl in her arms blinked: "Have I slept for a long time?"
"It only took a minute, but it was long enough."
Neville replied concisely, and then gently put the girl on the ground. Leticia reluctantly left her grandma's arms, muttering: "I thought it was an hour."
A familiar voice came from the side, joking: "If you really slept for that long, your grandma wouldn't be able to stand here and chat with us calmly."
This is true, grandma will definitely be very anxious, just like she will be very anxious when she can't find her.
But, what is this voice?
Leticia turned her head, and sure enough she saw not far away, under a crooked and twisted mangrove tree, Alice was standing there with her arms folded, her air of arrogance was in line with her impression of her. In addition,
Others are also there: Linge who is observing the situation on the battlefield in the distance, Olvera who is rubbing her eyes and yawning, Saint Xalia who is reminding her in a low voice not to sleep here, and a little goblin on his head.
Metien, after noticing her gaze, happily raised his hand and said hello.
"You guys," Leticia opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"What do you mean?"
Alice was unhappy when she heard this: "You fell out just after you rescued the person, right? Don't forget who was working hard to assist you in the game and teach you various high-end game skills!"
"That's not what I meant." Leticia didn't pay much attention to her nonsense, and looked a little hesitant: "But... what about the game magic? Aren't you supposed to be the ghost in my mind?"
"It's over!"
Alice pointed to the sky: "Can you take a closer look?"
Leticia looked in the direction of her finger, only to find that the strange blood moon above her head had disappeared at some point. There was no more blood-colored moonlight that stained the swamp and the corpses. Only the wet and heavy mist was still filling the air.
There were faint sounds of fighting and wailing from the depths.
A confused look appeared in her eyes: "The full moon has disappeared? What's going on?"
"Because the game has been cleared."
"What does customs clearance mean?"
"It means - it's very complicated. I'll explain it to you later." Alice waved her hand casually, indicating that this topic was too troublesome to talk about, so she might as well skip it for now.
"Oh."
Leticia was not the type to ask questions, so since Alice said so, she nodded silently and accepted the answer.
Neville had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two, and she didn't ask until they finished speaking: "So, Leticia, are these the ones you mentioned before...the ones behind them?" He has a really unique personality, and he doesn’t look like a ghost.
"Well, they are mine..." Leticia hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Friends."
Then she raised her head and looked at Neville again, her expression a little nervous: "Grandma, I haven't forgotten what you said. You have always told me not to get close to humans. You also said that they are a bunch of greedy and selfish bastards. It is dangerous to have contact with them."
It will never end well... I remember all this, but Metien and the others are different. They are really good people and my friends, so..."
She selflessly helped an unknown vampire girl without even asking for anything in return. Even at the beginning, Leticia was very wary of them and once suspected that these guys had some ulterior conspiracy.
Now I have to admit that they are indeed good people. They are a group of selfless, kind-hearted people. Except for Alice, they are all out of vulgar taste.
"I know." Neville gently stroked the girl's hair, but her eyes fell on the people opposite. Among them, the one she paid most attention to was not the maverick Alice, nor the otherworldly Saint Charlie.
Ya or Ovela, but Lin Ge who always looked on coldly and did not express an opinion. With her rich life experience and social experience, she keenly realized that this taciturn young man may be the one who really makes the decision in the group.
People.
She said: "I don't mean to blame you, Leticia. The knowledge I taught you before is just that I hope you can use it to protect yourself, so it is inevitable that it is a bit exaggerated. In fact, the world is very complicated.
Life is also very complex, and humans are an especially complex race. There will be shameful betrayers and greedy people among them, but selfless saints and noble souls are often born among them. Therefore, I am happy to believe that these gentlemen in front of me are
Good person, and just in the name of the silver-eyed countess, Neville Vie Garcia Valenhild, thank you for your help to Leticia."
The last sentence was addressed to everyone. In order to show her sincerity and sincerity, she also bent slightly, lifted up the hem of her skirt with one hand, and performed a very classic, noble and elegant etiquette to express her gratitude.
Alice was a little fussed by the grandfather and grandson saying they were good people. She quickly shook her head and waved her hands, saying righteously: "I am not a good person. If you have to say it, I should be a talented player who has escaped from vulgar taste!" What is that? Is it the latest popular term used to praise others in human society? Why does it feel a little strange?
Neville frowned, not knowing why. Alice was about to explain to her in detail how valuable the title of genius player was, but unfortunately she was interrupted.
It was Ringer. He withdrew his gaze from the distant battlefield and said in a cold tone: "These words can be left for later. The current situation is that the swamp is not safe. I think it is best for us to leave here quickly."<
/p>
The constant sound of artillery fire and the filthy water surface that rippled with the tremors of the earth below made his words seem very convincing. After being reminded by him, everyone felt that the environment around them was a bit scary and foggy.
The shadowy mammoth beast is fighting ferociously with the machinery created by humans. The terrifying roar and the sound of metal shattering are no less than the explosion of the previous castle. Even the shadow of the red branches reflected in the fog looks like a monster with teeth and claws.
, is issuing a hoarse and sharp threat.
Further afield, the mangroves growing within the Kuya Arc were fragmented, with mutilated corpses and blood mixed with mud and water everywhere. Tonight, the swamp turned into the largest killing field, with the spiral Sabella worm submerged in the water.
The ghost lanterns and anglers are feasting and harvesting rich flesh and blood.
The war between the United Order and the swamp aliens is still going on, and it is unknown when it will end. After realizing this, the strangers who did not want to be involved quickly reached a consensus with the countess, and first introduced themselves indifferently and
Put the polite words aside and try your best to escape from the most dangerous area.
Even Alice, who has always liked to join in the fun, didn't object, probably because she had already played enough in the previous game.
Soon, the group left their temporary hiding place and moved toward the outer area of the swamp along the edge of the Kuya Arc, carefully avoiding the fierce battlefield.
