Endless shouts echoed in the ears, and the flames burned, like a blazing gold color, reflected in the window, making the originally small room a golden red, like the scene of the end of the world.
It seemed as if some terrible disaster had happened, like a nightmare, which made people wake up but couldn't open their eyes. There was a sharp song in the darkness, like the wail of a banshee, and specious memories were swirling in the mind - as if At some point in time, I saw such a scene.
But it seems not.
Fang Yu opened his eyes with difficulty, and the hot breath hit his face, making stars pop out in front of his eyes. Then he saw a pair of eyes - very special, light gray, somewhat familiar eyes.
But he couldn't tell where he had seen such eyes, and the paradoxical feeling in his mind became even stronger, as if a created memory was mixed into the depths of his thoughts. He knew clearly that all this was Fake, but can't tell which ones are true and which ones are false.
By the way, where am I? He remembered one term, Ms. Fujileaf Inn, but nothing more. He tried hard to recall but couldn't recall what he had done.
And those eyes - light gray, with a golden flame in the depths of the pupils, like a blooming rose, magnificent and changeable, but shining with the light of a fiery flame. A pair of very beautiful eyes that are unforgettable once you see them.
The owner of the eyes, a bronze-skinned girl, looked at him quietly. "Misu?" I don't know why, but Fang Yu knew this name. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said a long series of words that even he felt baffled: "Leave this place with me, that thing is not your responsibility, we Let’s leave together and live a good life?”
But the girl shook her head slightly. "This is my destiny. My ancestors, my father, my brother, and myself have been preparing for this day for decades. I know it will return, just as the prophecy describes , but before things turn around, I must fulfill my Oath Keepers promise."
"It will definitely come back?" Fang Plover's mind was in a blur. He always felt that he had heard this before, but he couldn't remember it completely.
But when he opened his mouth, a different sound came out. "But it's too late, Misu, think of another way. You are not the savior. Even if you go out from here and face it, you can't change anything."
It was as if a strange emotion dominated his thoughts, making him uneasy and angry.
The girl smiled at him: "I have to do this, this is the only chance. Moreover, I think I can change something, at least let more people survive."
"Even if everyone dies, I only hope you can survive, because I only love you, and other people have nothing to do with me!" Fang Yu said in an eager tone.
After saying this, he was stunned, thinking what was wrong with him, he didn't even know who the other party was.
"Thank you, I love you too, just like...she misses that person. But she is still alive, I know, she is there. But time is running out, really not much, so..."
Misu took out something from his body and handed it to Fang Plover. "Take it out and correct the past, Lynn. The mistakes we have made by ourselves need to be made up for by ourselves. I'm sorry, Luen, you are the only person I feel sorry for. I shouldn't have involved you, but I I can only believe in you and remember that hatred will only cycle endlessly, and only love and tolerance can end everything."
"Take this thing and bring it to—"
The girl's mouth opened and closed, but her voice became increasingly unclear.
Fang Yu was a little anxious and couldn't help but ask loudly in his heart: "Who should I take it to?"
But tears suddenly welled up in his eyes for no apparent reason, and he seemed to be extremely sad. The pain seemed to come naturally, and he couldn't help crying in grief: "No, don't do this, I beg you."
But the girl took a step back and smiled at him. Her light gray eyes contained the most determined color. She mouthed to him: "Farewell, my love."
After that, she turned around and walked outside the house. The door to the room was open, and there was a sea of fire outside.
The girl's figure gradually disappeared into the flames.
The flames there twisted and coiled, and high-pitched screams came from outside. The flames suddenly transformed into a terrifying monster, walking in from the door step by step, walking onto the carpet, leaving burning footprints on it.
Walk towards him step by step, then stretch out your flaming arms to catch him. Fang Yu was so frightened that he wanted to retreat and dodge, but found that he was motionless and could only watch the monster reach out to him.
"Brother Ed, wake up." Suddenly, the scream turned into a weak call.
A slender little hand broke free from the flames, put it on his shoulder, and shook him gently. The surrounding illusion suddenly disappeared, the carpet stopped burning, the light outside the window dimmed, and all kinds of strange sounds became muffled - the golden-red room became dark.
Fang Yu opened his eyes again, and what he saw in the darkness was Jita's little face.
The ability to think seemed to have returned to his mind. He touched his cheek. It was dry. How could there be any tears? The scene that seemed to be taken for granted before is now a bit strange in retrospect, like a strange dream. But will it be a dream? He remembered that he remembered many things in his dreams, but now those memories seemed to have disappeared, and he only remembered everything that happened in the room.
"Miss Tata, did I experience anything weird just now?"
"You are sleeping, but not very peacefully. I do not have the ability to enter dreams. It is said that it is the domain of the gods." The words of the goblin lady came.
Fang Yu nodded silently. But he at least remembered the scene in the dream and what the girl said. Now he finally recalled what the Oath Keepers were. It was another name for the Dragon Slayer clan. Is that girl a member of Mazak's clan? Will there be any relationship between the two? What era is she from? Where did the scene in the dream take place? Was it Doliphon's past?
And who was he in that dream? What is it they are talking about? Is it the dark dragon? Dolifen turned out to be related to the Dark Dragon. How could it be from what era? He remembered that his name was Lin En, and the girl mentioned making up for mistakes and resolving hatred. These fragmentary clues made him a little confused.
He subconsciously reached out to his chest to see what the girl gave him. What did she ask him to take out? But when his hands got cold, he felt a little soft, and a frightened voice came from the darkness, and Fang Yu realized what mistake he had made.
He was pressing Jita's little hand and quickly let it go. The little girl blushed and took it back, lowered her head in panic, and muttered: "I, I, I'm not an adult yet, brother Ed, yes, I'm sorry, mom doesn't, don't allow me..."
"No, no, I'm sorry," Fang Yu hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to do it, I just woke up and was a little unconscious. I had a dream, and someone gave me something in the dream. I thought it was there. .”
"Really?" Jita looked at him in the darkness with bright eyes.
"Really, I promise."
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief and her face was no longer so hot, but she was still a little embarrassed. "Brother Ed, the time is up. The others asked me to call you."
"Is the time up?" Fang Yu was stunned and then sat up from the bed. "Everyone has gathered?"
"Except Parker."
"Where is everyone?"
"We are now in the lobby on the first floor. By the way, Brother Ed, this is the fourth floor. There may be some changes outside later, so don't be too surprised."
Fang Yu didn't find the thing the girl gave him in his arms. It seemed that the dream was just a dream after all, so he nodded. "Thank you for calling me, Jita. Let's go and meet everyone."
"No, you're welcome, Brother Ed."
After that, the two of them walked out of the room. Fang Yu closed the door with his backhand, but after thinking for a moment, he stopped and pushed it open again - the door opened in response. The illusion inside was the same as before, and presumably there would no longer be restrictions on people entering and exiting. In other words, after midnight, the illusion of Ms. Fujiye Hotel solidified and was no longer as unpredictable as it was during the day.
He closed the door again, turned around, and saw Jita looking at him curiously, and then asked the latter: "What time is it now, Jita."
"O-almost a quarter past twelve."
"By the way, Jita, what did you see?"
Jita replied in a low voice: "I had a very strange dream. It was a lumber camp. In the dream, I felt that I had lived there for a long time. As spring turned to winter, I watched the workers in the lumber camp working. I don’t know if that’s the lumber mill owned by Mr. Chris, but the owner of the lumber mill is a young man.”
"A lumberyard?" Fang Yu thought that the jump of what everyone saw was too big.
The two of them walked to the stairwell, and met a paunchy nobleman walking up. He was wearing unfashionable attire, fanning himself, with a thick layer of white powder on his face, and a big black pimple on his cheek. It looked like a monster, which frightened Fang Plover.
But the nobleman didn't even look at the two of them, and he complained and walked up to the fourth floor. Behind him were two of his servants, who helped him carry large and small bags to salute.
Fang Plover watched in surprise as the other person disappeared, turned the corner, turned back, and asked, "Who is that?"
"Guests at the hotel."
"Guest?" Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment before he realized that this was a phantom of the past. After midnight, the shadow of Doliphon's past began to show its true side.
The two came to the hall. As expected, everyone had gathered here long ago. However, unlike the dark and empty place during the day, the hall was now brightly lit and crowded with tourists, giving it a bit of an El Paxin feel.
Fang Yu saw a long curved counter facing the entrance of the hall, painted with a layer of dark paint. Behind it were several waiters, busy with their own work. From time to time, they pressed the crystal on the counter, and there was a small The dwarf pushed open the circular wooden door from the nearby pipe and came out. He took a note from the waiter and left the same way.
However, he noticed that whether it was the service staff, the guests, or the little monsters, their bodies were slightly transparent. It reminds outsiders that this is a world of ghosts, a vision of the undead.
Others were gathering at the side of the hall. The usually lively French girl seemed to be a different person now, her face was pale, her mind was wandering, and she looked like she was in a trance.
Fang Yu asked Aitila what happened, but the elf girl shook her head and told him that Tianlan hadn't said much since she came out and had cried a lot at the beginning.
"Are you okay, Tianlan?" Fang Yu turned around and asked Wen Yan.
"Brother Ed." Tianlan blinked and said with a little red eye: "It scared me to death. I will never come to this place again. I will never come to this kind of place again -"
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know. I was in a basement, and those people wanted to kill me. They looked so scary. I was tied to an altar and couldn't move. Those people stuck a dagger in my heart. By the way, it was that dagger! She suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Those mysterious attackers, that strange dagger, I watched them kill me, it was so scary!"
Is this the dream Tianlan saw? Fang Yu was slightly stunned. Could this have something to do with Doli Fen's past?
"Okay, okay, don't get excited." He reassured her with kind words: "This is just a dream. What you see may be something that has happened here long ago. It has long gone away from our time. It's just that Jeffrey just wanted to scare you."
"I know, but isn't this illusion still here?" Tianlan said tremblingly, "There must be something that hasn't left yet."
Fang Yu frowned. He was also wondering what the meaning of those dreams was. Did they contain some kind of potential clue? Or is it just a prank? And why did the mysterious people who attacked them appear in Tianlan's dream? Are they thinking about it day and night, or did they indeed appear here before the city was abandoned?
"By the way, Jita, do you know when and why this place was abandoned?" He couldn't help but turn around and ask Jita this question.
The little girl shook her head. "I don't know the specific reason, Brother Ed, but this place should have been abandoned more than thirty years ago, but the Elpaxin Library has very few relevant clues and records, and there are not even many people involved - It’s a pity that there is too little time left for us, otherwise I would definitely be able to find clues.”
"You are already very powerful, Jita. You will definitely be an outstanding naturalist in the future." Fang Pliance encouraged her and then asked: "If it were in history, would this situation be considered an anomaly?"
"It's not uncommon, but it's not uncommon. Because after experiencing sudden disasters, resulting in too many casualties, in order not to cause riots, Kaolin-Ishulian officials tend to suppress the news."
"What about relatives?"
"I don't know that."
"Our world is a little different from yours, Ed." At this time, Sylvide also came back from not far away with her maid. After listening to his words, he continued: "Except for nobles, people rarely have distant relatives. Most of an ordinary person's vision is limited to the place where he was born. The migration of a family is often from one block to another at most. In another neighborhood, unless there is a natural or man-made disaster that makes it impossible to survive, people generally will not leave their homes.”
"That is to say, Miss Sylvide is also inclined to believe that such a tragedy happened in this town, which may have even caused the entire city to die in the disaster. Is that why there are so many undead here?" Can't help but ask.
He recalled what he had seen and heard in his dream, the sea of fire rising into the sky outside the window, the hoarse and lung-splitting screams, a scene that seemed like the end of the world was coming.
Was that a scene thirty years ago? But what happened to Dolifen at that time?
Sylvide nodded: "I saw a disaster coming in my dream. Although I couldn't tell what disaster it was, it was a street in chaos. Everyone was fleeing, as if something fell from the sky. , people kept falling. In the dream, I couldn’t see too far away, but there was a deep sense of fear in my heart, as if I had experienced something like this somewhere.”
"Is this the case for Miss Sylvide as well?" Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised. "Me too, the feeling is indescribable, like I am not myself, but a bystander."
"Perhaps," the noble girl looked at him and replied, "It's not necessarily true that he is just a bystander."
