The loud rumbling noise and the shaking of the snow-capped mountains below made Miss Chloe, who was climbing higher, want to look back and check on Shade's condition, but she knew that Shade would not let her delay her trip, so even though she was worried and worried
The guilt reached its peak, but she still bit her lip and continued climbing up.
In the distance, you can already see the snowy slope of the platform at the highest point of the snow-capped mountain, but the young witch with silver hair and red eyes already felt that she couldn't hold on any longer.
In a trance, the thirteen companions who were still remembered by her actually appeared next to her at this time, pulling on her clothes and urging her to stop and rest. In a trance, everything she encountered in this lonely and strange snow mountain
The demons all appeared again, laughing and mocking her for overestimating her abilities.
At this moment, it is the final journey, and the end is in sight, but Chloe's steps have become slower and slower. The wind and snow seem to want to blow her to the ground, and the mental confusion makes her memory appear.
Problem, even for a moment, she thought that she actually entered this snow-capped mountain alone.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that she was lying on the snow and struggling to climb up. Her breathing was so tight that she pulled away her scarf, turned her body upwards, and let herself lie on the snow. While breathing heavily,
Looking at the colorful black sky with scattered snowflakes.
The colorful black color was something Chloe had never seen anywhere else. She felt that at this moment, the sky was pressing down like a coffin lid, locking her in this deserted snow-capped mountain forever:
"Go on, keep going."
He turned his body and tried to stand up, trying to continue walking upwards, but he staggered only two steps before falling again. However, this time he did not fall onto the soft and cold snow, but plunged headlong into the ice.
She couldn't understand why there was completely transparent ice beneath her, but she saw countless corpses imprisoned inside the snow-capped mountains, stretching out their hands to her in the frozen mountains, their ferocious faces welcoming the next lost person.
of joining.
"No, I want to go to the top. I want to climb the last section."
The sense of fear forced her to stand up again, but at this moment, thirteen companions, including Mrs. Marquez and an unknown man, appeared in front of her again. They seemed to have been dead for a long time, and their shriveled corpses surrounded Chloe in front.
Trying to block her progress. But Chloe pushed their hands away, knocked their bodies away, and still walked up reluctantly:
"What is reality? What is illusion?"
In mental confusion she asked herself:
"Do I really have companions? In other words, are there really two of my companions who can follow me here?"
The shouts of her companions were behind her, trying to make her stop, even just to look back.
At first, Chloe didn't pay attention to those sounds, but soon the experience of walking in the snow-capped mountains with her companions came to her mind. Those memories that she didn't know were true or false and seemed extremely weird forced her to really stop, but after
The moment before he turned around, he suddenly changed his mind.
Because she could still detect the taste of wine and blood in her mouth, and she could still remember the extremely warm embrace of the man, and the lovely cat as warm as the sun.
"Even if everything is false, and even if this is the space constructed by my consciousness before my death, at least it is real."
Chloe said to herself, holding her body on the snow with both hands, got up with difficulty and continued walking forward, the summit was right in front of her.
"But you don't even know his name yet!"
A mocking voice came from behind, and Chloe knew that her "companions" were still following her, but this time the voice sounded like she was speaking it herself.
"name."
"Poor Chloe, you think we're not real! So he must be real?"
The voice seemed to be speaking directly to her ear, like "another me" speaking in her heart. Chloe hesitated again, but the temperature in her body reminded her that that man really existed.
"A witch can contact, and can enter and leave this mountain range at will, and there is even a man with powerful power. Isn't this really your illusion?"
The voice was like the devil in her heart, even in the howling snowstorm, it was still so clear. The young witch had bitten her lip countless times at this time. The pain did not make her more awake, but the taste of blood made her
She confirmed:
"Yes, I believe he really exists."
Her face became firmer, and her steps forward became faster and faster. Her own voice chuckled in her ear, as if she had achieved her goal, and "she" did not continue to dwell on whether the "man" was real.
, but asked the question that the witch was most afraid of at the moment:
"So, he helped you so much, but you abandoned him and left alone?
Maybe, at this moment, he has been sleeping in the snow of the Silver Mountains, and his body and soul will not be able to leave for thousands of years. Maybe that corpse is looking at the sky with eyes open, wondering why you really never look back, while your soul is trapped in the snow-capped mountains.
The evil spirits tear and devour him. He is really pitiful."
Chloe's footsteps stopped again. She tried hard to control her emotions, but the picture painted by her words seemed to have become the real picture she saw, constantly urging her to turn around and go down the mountain in her mind.
The little figure in the wind and snow was so helpless, while more than ten different voices behind him laughed so happily.
But in the end, she still didn't look back:
"I'm Chloe the Witch."
She didn't tell herself in her heart, but actually said this sentence:
"I believe in myself, and I believe in him."
She raised her head and looked forward. This time she no longer cared about the sounds behind her, or the forces that once pulled her. Although her pace was slow, she still kept moving upward steadily. After perhaps a few minutes, perhaps several hours, she finally reached the end.
After climbing, the hands that had been frozen and unconscious finally reached the edge of the gentle slope of the snow-covered platform at the top of the mountain.
She moved her body so that her whole body reached the highest point of the peak. She tried her best to stand up and opened her eyes wide at the height, looking at the vast snow-capped mountains and the darkness in the distance:
"Is this the pinnacle?"
There was no joy at this moment, but an indescribable feeling of emptiness. A panting voice came from behind. I turned around and saw Mrs. Marquez carrying luggage and the timid man. They also supported each other and followed with difficulty.
.
"What just happened was indeed an illusion. I really climbed up. It's time to go home."
Although she had arrived at her destination, she felt that a part of herself seemed to be lost forever in this snow-capped mountain. There was no sense of accomplishment at this moment, and the boundless emptiness made her doubt whether she had really succeeded in reaching the top. Now she
Was it a hallucination when she was unconscious on the last snow slope?
She unconsciously opened her arms to face the wind and snow, but this could not give her any comfort:
"What did I do all this for?"
She began to doubt all of this and the meaning of the journey. The sense of fragmentation in her soul became even stronger. She really felt that this snowy mountain was imprisoning part of her soul.
"Oh, I have to learn a lesson. If you roar a dragon in the snowy mountains, there will be an avalanche!"
Suddenly, I heard a complaining sound in the wind, and then I saw a very embarrassed Shade climbing up from below.
It wasn’t that he had consumed too much. There was enough spirit in the snow given by the gods. He was almost swept away by the avalanche, and it took a lot of effort to climb back to the top. The snow-capped mountains did not embarrass him as an outsider, as long as he didn’t
Infected by the whispering element and the power of mental pollution, climbing the mountain is not difficult for him.
Miss Chloe did not talk to Shade, but stretched out her hand to help Shade up, stood side by side with him, and looked at the continuous snow-capped mountains on the top of the mountain.
The silver-white mountains are so strange but so charming. Shade knows that the girl next to him is probably very confused at this time, but fortunately he has learned the truth:
"You haven't reached the finish line yet."
He reminded, and when the witch looked at him doubtfully, Shade stretched out his hand and pointed to a higher place:
"There are thirteen steps above."
Miss Chloe didn't understand, but suddenly inspiration surged in her heart, and she realized something:
"I'm not here just to climb the snow-capped mountains."
In addition to the fact that the temperature on the top of the mountain is still very low, the impact on her spirit is gradually decreasing, and she is getting back her own memories.
An unusually illusory golden staircase appeared in front of her. The eleven steps represented the identity of the eleventh-level witch.
"Mrs. Marquez."
Shade called softly, and the middle-aged woman stood up from the snow sheepishly and came to the two of them.
Shade asked:
"Your wish is to imprint the boots of the master who was lost in the snowy mountains on the snow on the top of the mountain. Now that we are here, can you give me the boots?"
"Yes, sir!"
Mrs. Marquez said immediately, her face flushed with excitement.
She took out the boot that she had hidden in her arms and handed it to Shade. When Shade saw the boot for the first time at this point in time, he noticed the boot and Miss Chloe's feet.
The same size (Chapter 1035), but I didn’t know what it meant at that time.
He squatted down with the boots and signaled the young witch to lift her feet. The latter was slightly startled, obviously thinking of something. Then he immediately stopped Shade with a red face, put on the boots himself, and then stepped on the boots.
On the snow.
Shade said to Mrs. Marquez:
"In this way, your wish will come true."
Then he said to Miss Chloe:
"You never have to worry about being abandoned by others and facing the journey of life alone. Chloe Marcus Marquez, don't always be attached to others, you have to be someone else's support."
"Yes, Chloe, you are not alone."
Mrs. Marquez said to Miss Chloe, and bowed slightly to Shade. Then her body became transparent and illusory, until it turned into a series of golden light spots, flew to the top of the eleven steps of the witch, and transformed into
Climb the twelfth level of the golden steps.
