What I saw in front of me made my heart go cold. I always felt that something bad had happened.
At that moment, the soles of his feet exerted force, and the whole person rushed towards the gate of Dongfang Fort like the wind.
"No, nothing!"
From a distance, I saw the gate of Dongfang Fort open, but there was no gatekeeper. It was completely different from what I saw when I first came to the dream world.
At this moment, my heart started to beat wildly again, and the trace of peace and quiet that I had accumulated when I first saw Dongfang Fort was completely discarded.
Obviously, Dongfang Fort is not as peaceful as I saw, and there are unpredictable changes happening inside!
In the blink of an eye, when I finally rushed into the gate of Dongfang Fort, I noticed that the gate was still there, but it was not closed.
No matter the gate, the door opening, or the surrounding earthen walls, there was no trace of damage at all, and it was exactly the same as I remembered.
This made me puzzled, but I had no time to think about it. At this time, I completely forgot all my fears!
At that moment, I was in a panic, my feet were busy, and I rushed towards the courtyard where the castle owner was.
That is the core of the entire Dongfang Fort, and the owner of the fort is like a sea-fixing needle. I don’t believe that with him here, Dongfang Fort will really encounter any mishaps.
Soon I was horrified to find that all the village roads and paths I passed along the way were deserted, and all the mud houses in the courtyards were also very quiet. The entire Dongfang Fort seemed to have been inexplicably abandoned, and it was in a very strange silence.
Fortunately, Dongfang Fort is not very big. After running around so quickly, I will arrive at the residence of the fort lord after just one more turn.
If what I see is still the same, I really don’t know what I should do!
However, when I actually turned the corner, I stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
The reason why this happened was that I was completely shocked by what I saw in front of me.
The ultra-high-speed driving state that he had maintained had to be interrupted, and the huge inertia caused this scene to happen.
Outside the gate of the courtyard where the Lord of the Castle was, and where Yaoyao and I grew up, we saw a large group of people kneeling in darkness, densely packed with people of all ages, including men, women, and children, occupying every inch of space.
Looking along the courtyard gate, the entire courtyard is also full of people. Like the people outside the courtyard, they are all kneeling there deeply.
I did a rough visual inspection and found that almost everyone from Dongfang Fort was gathered here, no one left behind!
The elderly were being supported, young children were being held, the sick and injured were being carried and carried... Finally, they all gathered at the core of the Oriental Fort. Everyone kowtowed to the ground, heading towards the hut where the owner of the fort lived.
"What happened here? To make all the villagers pay such a grand tribute?"
The scene in front of me made my brows jump. What does this mean? Why don't I understand?
It must be that the villagers encountered a problem that no one could solve, and they had no choice but to seek help from the "god" in their hearts, that is, the castle owner.
This kind of thing has happened several times in my childhood memory. However, it has never been like this, where everyone was mobilized!
Something big must have happened this time!
However, my doubts had not yet unfolded, and the next moment I felt my scalp numb to the point of almost exploding.
I suddenly discovered that all the villagers in front of me were lifeless. They kept the same kneeling posture motionless. Although their bodies were still full of vitality and the expressions on their faces were equally vivid, their breathing was always in a state of stopping.
A semi-stagnant state of non-starting.
Not only that, even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around them remained almost static. It seemed that the next moment it would flow normally as usual, and the vigorous and budding state was particularly obvious.
But that was all, they finally stopped.
All the strange things happening before our eyes mean that everything in Dongfang Fort seems to have been frozen at a certain moment!
The passage of time stops here, and the years and years condense here!
No one can move here except me.
I raised my head and looked around, and sure enough, even the falling leaves on the trees were in this weird still state, suspended in mid-air completely contrary to common sense.
The land so close at hand has become its destination that it can never reach.
I should have discovered all this long ago!
From the moment you enter Dongfang Fort, you should notice these abnormalities!
No! This state does not seem to have started after entering Dongfang Fort, but earlier.
I suddenly remembered that the grass growing on the plain outside Dongfang Fort seemed to maintain the same posture. The bees clinging to the scattered flowers did not make any movement. A stone that should have fallen on the flower remained strangely
Upright state...
For a time, a large number of detailed images poured out in my mind, and the position where they first appeared seemed to be the edge of the transparent mask.
From the moment I stepped into the mask, I entered a world where time passes at a completely different speed from the outside!
It's just that this world is exactly the hometown where I grew up.
It was all because I was worried about Dongfang Fort, worried about the owner of the fort, Yaoyao, and all my relatives, and I was so worried about it that I didn’t discover all these abnormalities until now and here.
Although I don't know how all of this happened, I now know that the fire of life is still strong in everyone and they are not dead.
I believe that when the passage of time resumes, they will all be well.
But what if time freezes forever like this?
I don't want to think about this problem, but I have to face it. The reality is so cruel!
"Not good! Lord of the castle..."
Suddenly, I rushed towards the castle owner's hut in a hurry.
If anyone can explain all this now, I believe that person must be him!
And given the fortress master's extraordinary abilities, I don't believe he would be trapped as easily as ordinary people.
Even if this shackles is time...
This blind trust in his strength exists in the hearts of every villager living in Dongfang Fort, including me!
"Squeak - ah -"
I pushed the door of his room anxiously, my whole hand trembling, for fear of seeing a scene I couldn't accept.
However, no matter how much I struggled in my heart, the door was slowly pushed open by me.
Separated by a door, it seems like two worlds. The atmosphere inside the house is completely different from the outside world.
Here, there is the breath of life that I am familiar with!
The first thing that catches the eye is the everlasting oil lamp.
It was still burning, and the light flickered, illuminating the room with dark shadows.
Obviously, it is not imprisoned by time!
At this time, I felt that a light was lit in my heart, exuding the light of hope... (To be continued)
