Chapter 40 Stars【End】
The night is getting darker.
Xiao En heard footsteps outside the door.
He opened the door and saw the beautiful girl who was as delicate as a doll - Cecia - when he first met.
"The instructor wants to see you." The girl said expressionlessly.
After saying that, she turned and left.
Xiao En picked up his coat and followed silently. The two of them passed through the deep and narrow corridor. After reaching the ground, they entered an almost endless cemetery.
There was a little bit of strange blue will-o'-the-wisp floating around.
Shaun rarely goes out at night. Although he has stayed here for three months, he rarely leaves the territory of the Butcher and Ms. Hecate.
Many strange flowers and plants are planted in the cemetery, which fluoresce slightly under the moonlight.
It looks very beautiful.
If you ignore the endless stretches of unnamed tombstones, this is actually a dream-like and beautiful scene, because the blue and lavender fluorescence extends to the end of the line of sight, and they shine slightly with the bright moon in the night sky. , like stars on the ground.
The traces of fluorescent grass spread on the veins of the earth, like a gorgeous pattern. Looking down from the sky, it looks like a huge ancient tree with outstretched branches. It leaves a mark on the earth. The next dreamy reflection.
Xiao En didn’t know how long he had been gone.
This cemetery was terrifyingly large. Each tombstone was about one meter long, so he could hardly count the number of graves he walked through.
The bones are buried like a mountain, and the corpses are a mountain and a sea of blood.
Although Xiao En didn't see a single bone or a corpse along the way, his mood became heavier and heavier, so depressing that it made it difficult for him to even breathe. .
A magnificent mausoleum appeared ahead.
There are towering ever-burning lanterns on both sides, not sure if they are, because there are eternal ghost fires burning on them. The mausoleums are scattered around, completely enclosed, and some memorial flowers are planted around the mausoleum. It bloomed in the faint mist, blooming with a faint lavender fluorescence.
The number of nameless tombstones gradually decreases.
Huge stone monuments appeared in front of Xiao En's sight. They were similar to the stone monuments in the park square of Dorne City. They were made of marble and had no inscriptions. The nameless monuments were spaced about thirty meters apart. They were paved with bluestone. A road stretches all the way to the other side of the mountains.
Cesia’s footsteps paused.
She did not look back, she just leaned slightly in silence in front of the forest of stone tablets, and then whispered: "Here is buried the destiny of mankind that fell in the Dark Age..."
The legend of destiny? !
So many? !
Xiao En raised his head in astonishment, looking at the forest of stone tablets with almost no end in sight, and was speechless for a long time.
No name is engraved on any stone tablet.
The nameless monument.
Nobody!
Xiao En's body trembled slightly. He didn't know how humans survived that dark era of despair and madness.
Cecia walked towards the obelisk ahead.
Xiao En was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and followed the other person's footsteps again.
A special stone tablet appears in front.
It lies in a filthy tidal flat, surrounded by small flowers that look like stars, and an ancient inscription is engraved on it.
When Xiao En saw the handwriting clearly, he couldn't help but froze on the spot.
——"When the world becomes young again, when the stars of mankind shine..."
——"We will also return!..."
This sentence is engraved on the stone tablet on the muddy ground.
Xiao En felt like his scalp was numb at this moment. He looked at the back of the girl in front of him and hesitated to speak.
The other person is not a butcher and will not tell him the answer.
The girl's footsteps did not stop.
Xiao En followed her figure into the depths of the obelisk. Along with a completely suspended floating stone staircase, it took the two of them flying thousands of meters into the air.
Everything around him seemed to become smaller. Xiao En saw the reflection of a magnificent tree. It spread along the veins of the earth, undulating between the mountains and mountains, and its roots penetrated countless trees. among the tombstones.
The reflections of the bright moon and stars are like stars engraved on the earth, and the stars are dotted and turned into countless nameless monuments on the ground!
The Old One comes from the stars to this broken world.
Humanity also saves everything from the stars!
A moment later.
Xiao En came to a gate. The gate slowly opened, and he saw a suspended skull with a very eye-catching ruby inlaid between its eyebrows.
"You're here..."
The skull in front of you is hanging in the air, and an assembled body skeleton appears. Its pale finger bones slightly brushed the table, and it raised its hand and said: "Sit down. . Sean."
The girl, who was as delicate as a doll, turned around and left, closing the heavy door.
There is a soft red carpet on the floor, and there are bookshelves on all sides. The furnishings in the room are very neat, and the surroundings look spotless. It does not look like the territory of a lich, but more like a scholar. The home of the learned elders.
The skeleton in front of me is very clean and neat, like a moving human specimen.
The Lich stared at Xiao En in front of him.
Although Xiao En didn't feel fear at this moment, he felt cold all over and his heartbeat couldn't keep up with his breathing.
There seemed to be an invisible and terrifying force field surrounding the body of the lich in front of him.
He sat down with difficulty, lowered his head and said: "Chief."
After Xiao En sat down, the lich in front of him reached out and picked up a document on the desk, his pale finger bones gently With a wave of his hand, the document automatically flew in front of Xiao En.
“This is your appointment letter.”
It smiled.
Its skull opened and closed slightly, revealing a less obvious smile and saying: "You have been appointed as a senior investigator in Dorne City." A formal appointment document.
It is stamped with a steel seal.
Xiao En reached out to take it, looked up at the lich in front of him, and hesitated to speak.
Even if he lost his fear, he felt it was difficult to breathe.
There is no existence in the Kingdom of Weird that puts such terrible pressure on Xiao En. Moreover, the countless tombstones along the way made Xiao En feel heavier than ever before.
Even a little desperate.
The more he understands the nature of the weird kingdom, the easier it is for him to feel despair, because the power of the extraordinary does not belong to him.
"Okay."
"You can go." The lich in front of it seemed to be aware of its invisible pressure on Xiao En and the despair in Xiao En's heart. It waved and said : "Don't worry too much."
"We old bones can hold on for the time being."
"The world doesn't need you young people to carry it."
It smiled again.
Although his smile was a little weird, he patted his bones to show that his old bones were still strong.
This scene is very funny, it is trying to comfort Sean.
Xiao En didn't know what to say.
It was so difficult for him to breathe in front of the other person. If he was still afraid, he might not be able to look directly at the other person.
——Don’t look directly at God.
He thought of what was said in a certain magic book.
“That’s right.”
Just before Xiao En turned around and left with difficulty, the lich in front of him stood up, opened his arms, and said in a measured tone: "My mentor."
"I have left a message for you."
Xiao En slowly turned around and listened carefully.
The Lich's voice is no longer cold, and becomes full of passion, but it is not the emotion that belongs to it. The voice seems to be multiple echoes across the long river of time, deafening. It smiles: "Welcome to the kingdom of weirdness. ! ”
“Davarish ”
Xiao En seemed to be struck by lightning for an instant, and his whole body froze on the spot.
This moment.
He finally understood what humans relied on to survive the dark era of despair and madness, and he also understood why the real world still existed in this weird country.
"This is what they left for you."
The Lich's voice was cold again, emotionless, like an undead. It gently raised its hand, and a blood-stained emblem fell into the Xiao En's palm.
The emblem is engraved with a simple five-pointed star formation, with wheat ears dotted with star patterns, and an ancient inscription is engraved on the back with a sentence - "Death is our choice, and death is the last refuge of mankind."< br>
After witnessing the world being distorted bit by bit into a weird country where only evil things can survive.
Humanity decided to give it a try!
They used countless sacrifices to regain the destiny of death.
That is the first mythical path opened by mankind in despair!

A slender finger gently brushed He passed the pages and closed the heavy book.
