Ah, the familiar darkness, the familiar sense of pressure, and the familiar feeling of sinking consciousness.
Yu Sheng's thoughts were floating in the depths of chaos and darkness, and together with the heavy pressure coming from all directions, there was also a sense of extreme helplessness and exhaustion.
He thought that he might have many twists and turns before leaving that "foreign land", and even thought that he might have to "die" more than once, but he guessed the beginning and ending, but not the process -
During the time he was floating and sinking in the darkness, he couldn't help but recall the last scene he saw before losing consciousness. He recalled the blurry moment, the pair of golden-red pupils that caught his eyes, and those who were there.
Gorgeous fox tail blooming in the night...
And that subsonic headbutt.
So, who is the girl who knocked herself to death? Where did she come from? And why did she appear in this foreign land?
In addition... what happened to my body when I was fighting that monster? The strength, agility, and... that increased out of thin air.
That hungry urge.
What happened to yourself?
Yu Sheng felt that the complicated and chaotic thoughts were swirling in his mind like a whirlpool, and he had lost the restraints of his body. These out-of-control "thoughts" even continued to transform into various bizarre illusions in front of his "eyes".
Mixed with many memories that emerged from the depths - he saw the body made of countless limbs.
He became a monster and saw the "headbutt" girl with a fox tail and ears that suddenly appeared. But the next second, he saw another oil painting, in which Irene fell to pieces on the seat.
All around, the doll's limbs are connected with spiderweb-like threads, and a weird shadow stands faintly deep in the painting...
Suddenly, Irene disappeared again, and a new picture emerged from the depths of Yu Sheng's memories - crimson clouds and sky, sunlight flowing like water, soaking in familiar old streets and alleys.
Oh, that was the place where Yu Sheng was born and raised, the "boundary city" he was familiar with, an inconspicuous small coastal city. It had been two months since he left there... But for some reason, when the scene deep in his memory emerged,
, but he felt that the scene seemed to have been a long, long time ago, even so far away that it seemed like another person's memory, coldly presented in front of his eyes.
All the images disappeared, and finally only gentle darkness enveloped the surroundings.
Yu Sheng felt that his mind was slightly clearer. After a moment of hesitation, he tried to call out from the bottom of his heart: "Irene."
In the darkness, there was no response.
It seems that in his "death" state, the connection with Irene will be severed.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Sheng tried to turn his "sight" to find other objects in the darkness and confirm whether his limbs existed.
He saw nothing, there was nothing here, and he seemed to be just a floating "thought" with no body.
Yu Sheng silently tried more things.
In the previous two "deaths", he had no experience and returned to the "human world" almost in a daze. But this time, he began to consciously perceive the process and test various conjectures.
He knew that he had been confused during this period of time. The strange world, the strange phenomena, his own mysteries, the resurrection from the dead... there were too many unintelligible things packed together, leaving him without a clue.
But ever since Irene told him about the concept of "foreign land", he knew that he had a goal again - he wanted to go back, to the "normal" side.
When holes in foreign lands occasionally open to people, the moment ordinary people see the scenes leaking out of the holes, they cross the edge of reason and reach the other side beyond normality. This process may be due to the current situation of riding a car.
Wrong stop may be because you took an extra step when going downstairs, or it may even be because you turned an extra page of the book, read a wrong word, or... opened the wrong door.
But regardless of the reason, the most important thing is that this process is not irreversible.
According to the information revealed by Eileen, there are people in this world who are studying foreign lands, some have summarized the laws of foreign lands, and there are even experts who specialize in solving problems in foreign lands. Even ordinary people have the opportunity to return after falling into foreign lands.
This valley shrouded in night is a foreign land, and No. 66 Wutong Road, where he currently lives, is a foreign land, but Yu Sheng believes that his first contact with a foreign land was before that——
When he opened the door to his home two months ago, he might have fallen into a foreign land called "Boundary City" with himself as the center.
Now, he wants to explore as much as possible, understand as much as possible these strange things, understand the knowledge related to foreign lands, and then... leave this wrong world.
So, he opened his eyes.
The cold night wind blew through the big hole in the wall, and outside the half-collapsed roof, there was a turbid sky.
He sat in a corner of the ruined temple, but he did not get up immediately. Instead, he remained motionless in the posture of just waking up, carefully sensing everything around him, and at the same time trying to grasp the memories that were quickly flowing away in his mind.
and "impression".
He was trying to recall the feeling at the moment he woke up, and determine the boundary where he returned from the darkness to the "real world".
He felt that this might be the key to understanding his "resurrection from death" process.
At least, this can bring him closer to the truth of these mysteries.
Vaguely, he began to recall some of the scenes he "saw" the moment before he woke up. He recalled that he rose from the darkness, crossed a hazy boundary, and then sank toward reality... But here
What happens after? Between "sinking toward reality" and "opening your eyes"? What happened in this brief moment?
He seemed to have seen several flashing images, very fast and very blurry, and there were several clearer images... including the path near his home, the gate of No. 66 Wutong Road, and...
...This corner is located deep inside the ruined temple.
Yu Sheng's eyelids drooped slightly, and the thoughts in his mind gradually calmed down. He came up with some conjectures, and temporarily put these thoughts aside. Then he exhaled softly and began to move his hands and feet slightly.
This body was pure and strong. He could even feel the majestic power flowing in his blood vessels. He could hear clearly, see far, and his hands and feet were full of strength - even though he was hit in the neck by a subsonic headbutt not long ago.
He was later amputated, but now he is fully alive and well.
He stood up from the corner and prepared to call Eileen.
But in the next second, he stopped his movements abruptly.
Because there was a rustling sound coming from outside the wall.
Hearing this voice, Yu Sheng's first reaction was - that delicious monster actually chased him into the ruined temple?!
But he soon felt that something was wrong, because the monster's movements were always earth-shattering, not cautious like this.
Taking a gentle breath, Yu Sheng slowly moved to the hole in the wall and looked out through the hole.
The night was dark, but his eyes could see clearly.
He saw a girl walking cautiously among the ruins of the ruined temple.
The girl was wearing a tattered gown. It seemed to have once been a gorgeous dress, but now only dirty and ragged pieces of cloth were left. Her long white hair, which had not been taken care of for a long time, was spread out in a mess, blocking her.
Most of the face, but on the top of the girl's head...are a pair of pointed fox ears.
But compared to the pair of fluffy ears, Yu Sheng's eyes fell more on the girl's tail - those tails.
There was more than one fox tail, but it was difficult for Yu Sheng to count how many tails it was from his own perspective - and because the girl looked so embarrassed, he even suspected that it was a big tail just because it had not been groomed for too long.
So I am timid...
Of course Yu Sheng has recognized it by now.
It's that subsonic headbutt.
But Touguai didn't seem to notice that Yu Sheng was nearby. She just carefully patrolled the ruins of the temple, twitching her nose from time to time as if to distinguish and search. After a while, she seemed to have found something.
As soon as his eyes lit up, he ran somewhere quickly.
The sound of turning plastic bags was heard in the night.
Yu Sheng opened his eyes wide.
It was the bag of kitchen waste he had brought when he was "thrown" into this valley before, and he threw it conveniently into the ruins.
There were vegetable leaves and eggshells thrown away when cooking at night, as well as leftovers from the refrigerator.
He stood next to the wall and saw the girl with the fox tail tearing the plastic bag awkwardly in surprise but accidentally spilling all the contents inside. He also saw her grabbing a ball inside without hesitation.
The leftovers were stuffed into his mouth without any care——
It feels like I have been hungry for many, many years.
Yu Sheng suddenly felt suffocated.
He didn't know why, but he felt very uncomfortable. He felt... people shouldn't be hungry like this.
Even if she doesn't look like a "human" person.
Even though she once gave herself a hammer - she wanted to save herself at that time.
At this moment, the girl seemed to finally notice the aura of a "living person" in the ruined temple.
She squatted on the ground, holding a piece of rotten vegetable leaf in her mouth, and turned her head in shock and nervousness.
Chapter completed!
