It was dawn, and the morning light poured into the luxurious hall, but Xiaolan was the only one in the whole hall.
However, the door is open.
Xiaolan resolutely chased her out of the door, and it started to rain again. The soft and fine rain wrapped Xiaolan, and also covered everything in her sight with a dreamy white mist.
What about that person?
Where have you gone?
I knew that cloak. It was clearly the cloak in the castle, and it might even be the one I had worn.
Xiaolan's steps suddenly stopped.
That person's figure...
Narrow shoulders, slender height...
Isn't that yourself?
Xiaolan raised her hand and stared at her pale skin and the slightly red knuckles on her hand.
The hands holding the candlestick also belong to me.
Is that a sense of familiarity with yourself?
Why do you see yourself?
Xiaolan raised her head and looked at the castle windows twinkling in the drizzle.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of glass shattering, and a black figure jumped out of a window on the second floor and smashed into the cobblestone corridor on the ground.
Snap!
Xiaolan trembled all over.
A bright red color exploded in front of Xiaolan's eyes.
Xiaolan was speechless and started to run forward.
She ran towards the scarlet patch of blood.
She could even see the deep eyes of Lily or Lily Morven.
But she couldn't escape no matter how she ran.
The whole world began to distort, and Xiaolan watched helplessly as she got further and further away from the corpse, until everything in her sight dimmed and disappeared.
At least Lily was right.
It is indeed over.
The murderer is already dead.
Xiaolan looked at the darkness around her and finally stopped, standing there and gasping for air.
Is this the ending that Lily has been pursuing?
Whether it was Fitz or Lily, Xiaolan had a strange feeling when facing them.
That's...resonance.
Even if you know it's wrong.
Xiaolan drooped her hands and breathed slowly and evenly.
After experiencing this incident, Xiaolan thought clearly about the faint sadness in her heart when she was in the royal city. She always thought it was because of the departure of Pineapple and Maple Sugar, but under the clear and strong sadness,
Behind it, there is a hidden layer of ulterior feeling.
That's sympathy.
I am sympathizing with the devil and the murderer.
Xiaolan shook her head and scratched her face with both hands.
What would happen if it were me...
No, no!
Xiaolan knocked on her head.
Why do you have this kind of thought again? Didn’t you tell yourself not to think too much?
Think about your companions, think about the game in front of you.
There is still the last level. After the last level, I can see Qin Yin and Jasmine, I can see Bao Mu, Brother Fool and Luo Jiutian, and the Taoist Master is also waiting for them.
Xiaolan felt that the cold and dangerous thoughts seemed to be far away.
They will always be together, and they are not without relatives...
Xiaolan bit her lower lip, her eyes burning.
I'm not alone.
The announcement screen appeared and Xiaolan's scores began to scroll.
Calm down, calm down.
Xiaolan took a deep breath.
It's a good score.
"The ninth task, tutor, task completed, special task completed..."
The cold female voice finally diverted Xiaolan's attention away from her critical mental endurance.
"Congratulations to the player for obtaining the special mission item - Bone Disc."
A black object appeared in the air, and Xiaolan recognized it at a glance.
It's the black porcelain plate.
Turns out it has a name.
The bone disc slowly landed from mid-air, and Xiaolan reached out to catch it, still feeling the familiar warm feeling.
And Xiaolan already knows the function of this prop.
It can travel through reality and dreams, and can take out things in dreams.
Xiaolan pinched the edge of the bone plate hard and put it into her pocket.
The last hurdle is over.
Xiaolan waited for the announcement screen to show the player configuration for the next level. However, after the scores were displayed, the announcement screen completely disappeared.
There are no voice prompts.
The darkness in front of her eyes faded little by little, and Xiaolan looked at everything that appeared at the end of the darkness in amazement.
The first thing you see is a dark green.
Black is gradually replaced by green.
What then filled Xiaolan's nose was the smell of moist green plants that was so rich that it was almost pungent.
The smell of earth rushes towards you.
It wasn't until a cold drop of water fell on Xiaolan's forehead that she blinked and took a good look at this new world.
A forest.
The familiar sense of instant vision appeared again, but this time Xiaolan was not surprised.
After all, forests are pretty much the same everywhere.
Xiaolan took steps on the muddy grass.
I don’t know if there are any opponents, I don’t know what to do, and I don’t know where the exit is.
Just walking around?
It was drizzling in the sky and there was no sun. Xiaolan wandered in the dense forest for a while and soon lost her sense of direction.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xiaolan didn't meet anyone, not even cute animals, only a few insects of different shapes.
I always feel...
A cool breeze blew by, bringing with it the rustle of rainforest vegetation.
rustle……
swish swish...
Behind me, something seemed to be approaching.
Xiaolan turned back sharply.
Only a patch of dark green trembled in the wind.
But what's going on with this dull suffocating feeling in my heart?
Xiaolan's antennae for anticipating danger stood up. She looked left and right, using her body's small radar to receive signals that foreshadowed danger.
Nothing can be seen.
But there must be something.
Xiaolan decided to hide first.
But the question is...where to hide?
Climbing a tree? But I always feel that in this kind of rain forest, climbing a tree is like putting a head in the mouth of a strange thing.
Xiaolan didn't dare to move rashly, so she tiptoed to a tree, lay on the trunk and looked behind her.
swish swish...
Something is definitely approaching!
Xiaolan held her breath, looked down, and suddenly saw that there was a tree hole hidden behind the vines on this thick dead tree trunk.
The rustle is approaching.
Xiaolan couldn't care so much anymore, she pushed aside the vines on both sides of the tree hole, bent down and got in.
The space in the tree hole was much larger than expected, just enough to accommodate Xiaolan's petite body. She tried her best to adjust the volume and frequency of her breathing and hid her entire body in it.
There was no stinky smell in the tree hole as expected, but instead a warm smell, like a furry home built by some kind of wintering animal.
Xiaolan adjusted her posture comfortably.
"squeak!"
What the hell?
A faint strange scream sounded from behind Xiaolan's butt.
Xiaolan froze for a long while, then moved her right hand tremblingly to her back.
A soft thing was squeezed between itself and the tree trunk.
The moment she felt the thing's existence, Xiaolan suddenly tightened her muscles. Then, the thing slid down from the gap between her back and the tree trunk, and landed next to her calf.
