What exactly is darkness? If a place without light is darkness, then what is the blackness you see when you close your eyes?
Reina was leaning against the tree trunk, with a gun at her feet. There was a small pocket on the holster of the gun, with three copper-colored bullets on it. She had already begun to think wildly, thinking about some irrelevant things.
Facing the firelight, there was no shadow behind her, but darkness. Rena didn't know how long she had been trapped here. She hadn't eaten for a long time, and her body was gradually losing strength. She would feel tired if she moved a little.
What I feel in my stomach now is not hunger, but a feeling of boiling water inside. Maybe it's because I drank too much water, and my body only feels weak.
"Ah~ don't worry, I'm going to eat it!"
Suddenly, Reina opened her mouth and threw the emerald green seed into her mouth. She chewed it, a rattling sound came from her mouth, and she immediately spat it out.
"So painful! So hard!"
Just like sand, no, much harder than sand.
She looked at the seed in her palm with a grimace, sighed, leaned her head back against the tree trunk, and let her hands hang limply on the ground.
The reason why the bonfire keeps burning is because Mr. Ball keeps adding firewood to it silently. It is now like a robot, repeating this work.
"Mr. Ball, am I really going to die here?"
Reina asked, looking at the hole on her head.
Mr. Ball rarely answered her question, but Reina had probably guessed its mood.
"If a person dies, where will he go? Will there be a next life, or will there be nothing."
She murmured several questions, but received no reply. Mr. Ball could not shed tears, but his back showed great sadness.
Waiting for death is a very long process, and Reina was deeply touched by this. She was too bored and began to find something to kill her time. Black coal that could not be burned, a gun, and a very warm and magical cloak.
The finished water bag also contained a blank black notebook.
This is what he left behind.
Reina didn't know why he kept these things for himself. If he didn't want himself to remember him, then why didn't he take everything away?
Moreover, everything has a very powerful function, except for one thing, which is this notebook without any words written on it.
She took out the black notebook from her breast pocket and looked through it aimlessly. It was still blank. She tried writing something in it with a pen, but the strange thing was that as soon as she wrote it, the handwriting
It will be erased immediately and become a blank page again.
She originally thought that this notebook would leave some clues, but after countless attempts, she could not get any clues from it.
"Ah! I don't want to die! Please, tell me what to do, wow~"
Reina suddenly burst into tears, and Mr. Ball beside him weakly lowered his head.
It failed to stop Linnai from climbing the tower. It should have known that Horn was not a good person.
However, it was also moved by the charm of eternal life.
Life span, Mr. Ball understands that human life is very short. Although Reina is very young now, she will eventually grow old. For Mr. Ball, protecting Reina is the meaning of its existence. If she passes away, then it will
existence will lose its meaning.
Therefore, the one who really wants to climb the tower is not Reina, but it.
But now it's too late to regret it, but at least in the end, she should fulfill one of her wishes and tell the story about that adult. Even if it disappears because of it, it doesn't matter now.
"I'm sorry, little princess, you have to listen carefully..."
"Hey? What is this?"
Just when Mr. Ball was about to tell everything, Reina suddenly sat up excitedly, looking at the black notebook in her hand with bright eyes.
"What? What's wrong?"
Mr. Ball was startled and saw Reina leaning in front of the notebook, then looked at it carefully.
Rena opened her eyes wide and almost pressed her eyes against the book. She saw a line of words appearing on the blank page.
Are you about to give up?
At this moment, no words can express Reina's inner excitement.
These must be the words he left behind, the words he said to himself.
However, before Reina could be happy for a long time, the black writing slowly faded away.
"Hey! Hey! Wait! Don't disappear yet! Wait!"
Her call had no effect, and the text still disappeared.
"What's wrong, little princess?"
Mr. Qiu was a little frightened. Could it be that she was so hungry that she was hallucinating?
Reina looked at it, with hope shining in her eyes, and said excitedly: "There are words in the book! There are words in the book!"
Although I don't know what she is happy about or what the use of it is, it would be nice if something happy happened to her in the last moment of her life.
Mr. Ball stood calmly.
Rena flipped through the pages of the book, all her attention was on the black notebook.
"Little princess, I have something to tell you..."
"Wait a minute, I think I know what's going on! It responded to me! It's not an ordinary book!"
Reina said happily.
Her eyes were completely focused on the book. After clearing her throat, she said mechanically, as if she was a trainee teacher standing on the stage for the first time: "Magic book, magic book, please tell me, who sent you to
For me."
Mr. Ball was shocked that she was actually talking to a book. It didn't want to see such a thing, so it turned around sadly.
A line of words appeared on the book: I won’t tell you.
"Huh? Don't tell me? How cunning! No! You must tell me!"
Reina shouted.
The previous line of words quickly disappeared, and then a new line of words appeared immediately.
I won’t tell you.
In an instant, a vein appeared on Reina's forehead. She grabbed the notebook and stood up and shouted: "Okay! If you don't tell me, I will throw you into the fire and burn you."
She brought the book closer to the campfire, but it was still far away.
Reina stared at the blank page, afraid of missing something.
I don't believe you dare to throw it away.
"What! It's just a book, but it's so arrogant! Okay! I'll throw it away!"
Rena moved closer to the bonfire and threatened loudly.
After that line of words disappeared, no new words appeared.
"What? Are you scared? Just tell me if you're scared."
Reina said somewhat proudly.
However, the next moment, the book in her hand suddenly lit up, and a flame rushed to it, and it actually started to burn.
"Ah!!! Not good!! Mr. Ball! Water! Hurry! Ahhh! It's over!!"
Reina was so frightened that she ran around holding the book at a loss.
But Mr. Ball didn't see any fire. She just kept running around with the black book that remained unchanged.
