A young man with dirty hair and ragged clothes held two coins in his hand and looked around in confusion and horror.
His name is Pan Yue.
After he entered the circle of light, the noisy crowd a second ago disappeared instantly, and the sky was shrouded in a terrifying blood-red color.
The originally clear pool has dried up and turned into a bottomless abyss. The surrounding houses have now been reduced to ruins, and only deathly silence permeates the air.
Vaguely, a whisper came from the dark bottom of the pool, as if calling Pan Yue to go to hell - or is this hell?
What exactly is going on?
Pan Yue's mind went blank. The ferocious smile of the village chief's grandson Wang Lei in his memory convinced him that all these changes happened in an instant.
Not long ago, Wang Lei threw the two coins in his hand into the aperture and stared at Pan Yue maliciously.
"Go in and pick it up, otherwise you won't be able to eat any more of our food."
...
Pan Yue took a deep breath, looked up at the blood-red sky, suppressed her fear and shouted in a trembling voice: "Is there anyone there?"
There was no response except the howling cold wind.
A biting chill rushed into Pan Yue's heart, and his legs began to tremble involuntarily, and he almost fell to his knees.
At this moment, the whispers in the abyss at the bottom of the pool seemed to become faster and clearer, and several bird calls were heard in the distance. The calls were hoarse and more unpleasant than crows.
As the babble became more real, Pan Yue finally understood the content.
"The time has come for the stars to return to their alignment...the time has come...the end is coming..."
The cheerful tone was extremely inconsistent with the hoarse voice, as if a dying old man was singing nursery rhymes with an innocent smile on his face. His wrinkled and twisted face looked particularly weird against the red light.
Pan Yue could no longer suppress the fear in his heart. His legs softened and he knelt on the ground with his palms on the ground. The cold and dry touch made him even closer to collapse.
A skinny face slowly emerged from the abyss, and then the whole person crawled out. "He" was crawling and twisting on the ground and approaching Pan Yue, but Pan Yue had already stayed in place unable to move, and even his heartbeat seemed to be moving.
stop.
Although the face was almost devoid of human appearance, "his" empty eyes and cracked mouth corners still looked like the same person.
Wang Lei.
"He" made a weird chuckle and stretched out his hand - this could no longer be called a hand. It was as thin as a twig picked up randomly on the ground. There were no palms or fingers at the top, only the bones that had been smoothed.
Creakingly supporting "him", he crawled to Pan Yue.
The dead branch-like arm crossed Pan Yue's pale face and slowly touched the position of his heart.
At this moment, a powerful and angry shout came from behind.
"You bitch, get out of here if you still want to live!"
The sound that sounded in this other world finally made Pan Yue regain his consciousness. For a moment, tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes, and he rolled and crawled away from the monster that looked like Wang Lei.
The monster seemed to be unwilling to give in, its throat continued to make weird noises, and its body stiffly bent downwards, as if it was about to pounce in front of Pan Yue at any time.
"court death!"
The voice of the visitor became more and more severe. He clenched his right hand tightly in the air, and the monster screamed and twisted in pain on the ground. Then as the man slowly raised his hand, the monster was lifted up by an invisible force.
Arrived in mid-air.
The terrifying features on the monster's face suddenly twisted into a ball, and green mucus kept flowing from its body, dripping to the ground and making a sizzling corrosive sound.
"I'm warning you for the last time, get out of here!"
After a burst of neighing, the monster suddenly disappeared out of thin air as the man shouted angrily. Only the oozing green mucus on the ground reminded Pan Yue that this was not an illusion.
Panting heavily, Pan Yue looked at her savior, only to see that he looked to be in his twenties, with a slender figure wearing a light blue robe, and a majestic look between his brows.
The man was relieved when the monster was driven away, and looked at Pan Yue with concern and complaint.
"Which team are you from? Why did you come to the Dead Pond alone?"
Squad...Deadpool...
Pan Yue was confused by this unfamiliar title and looked at the other person in confusion.
"Um...you're not from the Resistance Army? Then why are you here?"
"I...I don't know..."
Pan Yue didn't know how to explain, so she lowered her head and answered hesitantly.
The man looked at Pan Yue for a while, then shook his head helplessly.
"My name is Zhao Quxie, and I am directly under the command of General Fang Yang. It's too dangerous here. Please follow me back to the base first."
I saw Zhao Quxie take out a cube from his pocket and bend down to place it on the ground. A burst of warm white light instantly enveloped the two of them. A few seconds later, a warm voice reached Pan Yue's ears - the sound of human conversation.
.
When the white light slowly dissipated, Pan Yue found herself in a huge circular square, surrounded by countless pieces of glass.
The countless pieces of glass formed a huge closed-loop circular mirror, which glowed red when reflected from the sky, illuminating everyone in the square.
"Confirmation completed, there are no White Walkers."
Several people also wearing light blue robes stared at the two of them with weird guns that Pan Yue had never seen before. They didn't let down their guard until these words were heard from afar.
"Old Zhao, why did you bring back a child?"
One of them seemed to have a good relationship with Zhao Quxie. After confirming that he was safe, he walked up to chat with him. The others also put down their guns and leaned against the glass to rest with relaxed expressions.
"I found it while patrolling near the Dead Pond. Wang Lei was so frightened that he almost died."
Wang Lei...could that monster really be the Wang Lei I know...
Zhao Quxie saw Pan Yue's expression was weird and thought he just hadn't recovered from the shock just now, so he smiled and patted his shoulder to comfort him: "It's okay, it's safe here."
"Thanks......"
Zhao Quxie looked at the reserved Pan Yue with a smile and waved to the people around him.
"You take good care of this child. I'll go and report to the general first. What's your name, child?"
Pan Yue watched everyone approach with friendly expressions, and finally felt relieved.
"My name is Pan Yue..."
Hearing this name, the smile on Zhao Quxie's face froze instantly, and the others also opened their mouths and looked at each other in confusion.
"Pan Yue...Pan Yue. ….."
Everyone seemed to be in awe of this name, muttering it carefully and repeating it.
"Old Zhao, could it be that he has the same name?"
"Impossible. Who else in this world dares to call this name?"
Zhao Quxie looked at Pan Yue solemnly and asked slowly: "My child, what year is this?"
"the year 1995......"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the square started whispering. Zhao Quxie's body trembled slightly, and his eyes when looking at Pan Yue became very complicated.
"You...just wait here for a moment, I'll be right back." This chapter has been completed!
