The door was not high, only reaching his shoulders, and was stained with rust. It looked like a fragile antique, as if it would completely fall apart if pushed lightly.
But Allen knew that this gate was more impregnable than the three-foot-thick ancient city gate in the kingdom's capital. It contained a legendary level magic circle. If someone really broke in without permission, the consequences would not just be as simple as "falling apart."
.
He took out the shiny "highest authority" borrowing card given to him by the library administrator from his pocket and inserted it into the crack of the iron fence door.
The iron door suddenly opened a crack.
The world inside the door is shrouded in darkness, and it is difficult to see what is going on.
Allen pondered for a moment, then pushed the door open and entered.
…………
Behind the door is a dark and narrow corridor.
There were twists and turns and a few turns.
This scene gave Allen a sense of déjà vu. He doubted that he had been here before, but also wondered whether it was an illusory dream.
After that, there is an airtight secret room.
On the wall of the secret room are clusters of blue magic torches, which flicker between light and dark, adding a mysterious and eerie atmosphere to the secret room.
But Allen's eyes fell on the ground.
The white marble floor tiles now looked uneven, with dark traces remaining.
Allen knew that it was blood stains that had solidified for many years.
He sighed softly.
Then he bent down and picked up an old yellowed book from the ground.
There are two yellow, eye-catching labels on the cover of the old book: one reads the title of the book "Eternal Fragment", and the other label reads "Highly Dangerous".
When Allen's eyes fell on the cover, he felt a strong mental shock rushing into his mind, turning into countless low murmurs, echoing in his mind, seeming to urge him to cut off his own pulse and use blood
Finish this book.
The black crystal was once again restless in his mind.
Countless fragmented memories flooded into his mind again, occupying his consciousness.
Unknowingly, Allen's eyes turned deep black again.
"It's me," he said calmly, reaching out his right hand and gently touching the cover of the book, "I'm back."
After hearing his words, "Eternal Fragment" immediately calmed down and lay obediently in his palm. He even stretched out two pages and gently poked his finger, as if to please.
"I heard that you got into trouble while I was away."
"Fragments of Eternity" immediately closed the page and stopped moving in fear.
On its cover, scarlet writing faintly appeared, writing a crooked word.
"Hungry."
"I understand," "Alan" continued in a cold tone, "Back then, Darkness went crazy before he could finish writing you because he couldn't bear the coming of my consciousness.
"But this does not mean that you can do whatever it takes to take the lives of others with the power I gave you."
"Eternal Fragments" shuddered, and then another line of scarlet writing appeared on its cover:
"I can't control myself..."
"If you can't control it, then learn to control it," "Alan" continued, "If you can't do this, you are not worthy of being my backup."
"Eternal Fragments" no longer answers.
Even the color of its handwriting has become much lighter, obviously full of fear of "Alan"'s words.
At this time, "Alan" raised the corner of his mouth slightly and tore off the two labels "Eternal Fragment" and "Highly Dangerous".
"However, now that I'm back, it's time for you to resume your original name." "Alan" chuckled, and thick black mist surged between his fingers. "I'll take care of the content that Darkness hasn't finished writing."
Continue to complete it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black mist dissipated.
The old book in his hand disappeared.
Instead, there was a brand new, thick book with a black hard cover.
Printed on the cover was a word written in gilded letters
"origin".
After doing all this, "Eternal Fragment" no, should be called "Origin" now, once again stretched out two pages, slightly bent, to express gratitude to him.
But at the same time, the blackness in Allen's eyes faded a lot, and it seemed that it might disappear at any time.
And between his brows, there was also a hint of exhaustion that was difficult to conceal.
"Origin" is obviously aware of this.
Its outstretched pages immediately hugged "Alan"'s finger, as if it didn't want him to leave.
"It's time for me to go," "Alan" said calmly, while putting "Origin" on the bookshelf aside. "You should know that after finishing you, this ray of consciousness of mine will soon be complete.
Disappeared."
But "Origin" turned over, with the back cover facing up, and pointed its butt towards "Ellen", as if to say "I won't listen, I won't listen."
"Alan" ignored its struggle and turned it back over simply and roughly.
"After I leave, remember to take good care of this child," he continued in a tone without any emotion. "You should be able to see that he was actually dead before he became a container of godhead. Now his life characteristics,
It is completely maintained by the power of faith.”
"Origin" shook its pages, as if nodding. And on its title page, another line of words soon appeared:
"You're right."
"And for today and the future layout," "Alan" continued to elaborate, "my saint once relied on the power of the gods to implant three thoughts in this poor child's head, ranging from broad to specific, respectively.
It's 'magic', 'mage tower', and 'forbidden book area'. Because of this, I can appear here to complete you."
"Origin" continued to nod, and then repeated what he just said: "You are right."
"Alan" was very satisfied with its attitude, and then continued: "From now on, he will be your master."
"Owner???"
On the title page of "Origin" appeared a scarlet word and three big question marks. It was obvious that this was unbelievable.
"Yes," "Alan" said in an unquestionable tone, "After all, if nothing else happens, he will become another me in the near future."
After saying this, the last ray of black in his eyes completely disappeared, turning back to the original blue as clear as the sky.
The majesty of looking down on everything has also disappeared.
At this time, Allen frowned, looking surprised, confused, and even a little confused.
"don't want!!!"
"Don't go!!!"
"return!!!"
"..."
"Origin" flipped through the pages quickly, and scarlet words and a series of exclamation marks appeared on each page.
It has always prided itself on being a rigorous book that never abuses punctuation marks. However, at this moment, it feels that no amount of exclamation marks can express its strong emotions.
But even so, it still had to face the cruel reality: the black ray in Allen's eyes still disappeared.
Completely disappeared.
Never come back.
So, a few minutes later, it collapsed silently on the table, like a dead body.
There is no wind in the secret room.
But there was a rustling of pages, like sad crying.

ps: This chapter is very crucial to the plot. I deleted three versions before writing a slightly satisfactory one. Sorry to keep everyone waiting. By the way, I would like to ask for a recommendation vote.
