Karasawa Makoto leaned on crutches and took trembling steps to the door of the cellar on the lower floor of the villa.
Before that, she passed through that deep underground corridor.
The mixed smell of earth and moss in the corridor, as well as the faint candlelight, made her feel like she was walking into a river in which time was reversed.
Gu Xing's call echoed in her ears, and the wind of youth enveloped her again after many years. She seemed to have returned to the days when she lived in the Nara apartment.
Late one night, terrifying ogres came, but Tang Ze was not worried at all. She knew that Guangchuan and Gu Xing were beside her.
It was late that night that she fell in love with Gu Xing, but she didn't know it at the time. As for Gu Xing, he didn't have any feelings for her at that time.
Not long after, on a snowy day, in a snowy place, under the gaze of a group of stray cats, after going through many tests, she and Gu Xing finally embraced each other affectionately.
If this was the night when the ogres were raging, and she could see the twists and turns of love that would happen in the future, and look at her and him at this moment with excitement, wouldn't it be a kind of romance that could only exist in a weird world? ?
A large candlelight suddenly lit up.
Makoto Karasawa took a closer look and saw that the surroundings were open. The wooden door of the cellar in front of him was really old. The paint was so mottled that the wood pieces had fallen off in some places, scattering debris corroded by time on the floor.
When they got here, Gu Xing's voice stopped.
Karasawa Makoto also woke up from the chaos of the past and the future.
She looked beside her. Chiyo and Satomi, her old friends who had known each other for most of their lives, were standing beside her.
Their acquaintance was not in vain! The two of them also knew the huge danger they were facing at this moment, but they still followed them resolutely. How could she bear this kindness?
"thank you all,"
Makoto Karasawa used all his strength to bow to Satomi and Chiyo, "But I hope to walk on my own in the future."
"It's not normal here,"
Chiyo said quickly: "You should be able to notice it," she pointed to the cellar, "it is very dangerous. If you insist on going in, then we will go with you!"
"please,"
Karasawa Makoto still maintained his bowing posture, "I don't want to implicate anyone, nor do I want to bear such a huge favor. This is a matter between me and Gu Xingjun. It's best for you to stay away. If you can't do that, then please Watch quietly from the sidelines.”
"Favour? What are you talking about? People in this country have indifference written on their faces. Who is willing to accept kindness from others easily? But what kind of friendship do the three of us have, and we still need to discuss such things as kindness?"
Chiyo wanted to persuade her, but Satomi stopped her.
"Let her go in," Satomi stared at the cellar, "I can feel that there is no danger in there."
Chiyo: "Really?"
"There is no danger, but it is more terrifying," Rimi said: "There is a desperate atmosphere there, as if it comes from the bottom of hell."
"Desperate?" Chiyo stiffened, "Then we should stop Sister Tang Ze."
Rimi: "Gu Xingjun has been missing for twenty years. From the first day he disappeared, Sister Tangze has lived like a living dead. Now that we finally see the hope of seeing Gu Xingjun again, do you think we can stop her? Even if we can, So what, can she feel happy because of this? What's more,"
Satomi said, looking at Karasawa Makoto, "Look at her appearance, how long can she live? If she could see Gu Xingjun before she died, or even see the dawn of seeing Gu Xingjun again, she would be extremely happy. "
Chiyo was silent for a long time after hearing this. Finally, she asked: "Then let's..."
Satomi: "Go in with Sister Karasawa."
There was a faint sound of unlocking from the cellar.
Karasawa Makoto held a bunch of mottled copper keys in his hand and tried hard to insert them into the copper keyhole at the cellar door.
Chiyo tried to step forward to help, but Satomi stopped her again.
Satomi indicated that she just had to wait quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, there was finally a crisp sound of unlocking the door.
Karasawa Makoto threw the chain aside and used all his strength to push open the cellar door.
In the cellar, there was a faint light.
What came into view was a long passage with complex reliefs or exquisite murals on both sides of the passage, but Karasawa Makoto instinctively ignored them.
Her gaze cut through the darkness of the passage like a sharp knife, reaching the deepest part of the cellar——
There is a relief sculpture of Gu Xing carved on the wall there.
