The girl was running barefoot in the jungle with a man on her back. The branches and shrubs tore her dress and cut her skin.
However, the wound healed quickly, which showed that his body's vitality was beyond ordinary people's.
She ran from dusk to night and then to dawn.
The sun rises.
At this time, she just happened to break out of the dense and tall primitive jungle and appeared on the high mountain.
A soft yellow light gradually spread across the sky and caught her eyes. Along with the warm morning breeze, it covered and extended the familiar feeling to her skin.
She stopped involuntarily.
She stared at the sun rising, no longer feeling the warmth of the sun with her body.
The sun rises higher and higher, and the light becomes brighter and brighter.
From soft yellow to dazzling gold.
In the end, gold covers the world and completely drives away the darkness.
Zi was moved to tears: "The darkness disappeared."
She was immersed in the world of light, immersed in the dazzling colors of the world, and couldn't extricate herself.
And for her, a whole new world has ushered in.
Suddenly, she remembered the person she was carrying.
She wanted to turn around and look at the person behind her, but she couldn't muster the courage for a long time.
She turned her face sideways, but still lowered her head unconfidently, looking at her feet.
"Thank you for showing me the world."
Her voice was soft.
The person behind her didn't answer, but just leaned on her shoulder, as if watching the direction of the rising sun with her.
She smiled slightly and looked at the world in the distance again.
She thought that if two people who had never seen anything saw such a scene together, the other person would be as moved and happy as she was!
However, all this is just her imagination.
Then she realized that the person she was carrying had not woken up at all.
By the river.
Zi cleaned her dirty face, and then wiped the face of the young man she was carrying. It was only then that she noticed something was wrong with him.
He wasn't even breathing or heartbeating, the blood in his body wasn't flowing, and he showed no signs of being alive at all.
"You haven't woken up yet?"
Zi was a little disappointed.
It turns out that from beginning to end, she was the only one looking at this beautiful world, the brilliant morning sun, and the gorgeous sunset.
But she believed that he would wake up one day.
He is still alive.
She was so convinced because she had heard the other party's cry in the boundless darkness.
After a brief trimming, Zi was about to confirm where she would go next.
She didn't dare to go back. Although she didn't know what happened to the terrifying existence named Anissa, she didn't know if she had broken free from the pillar.
But if the other party is still there, he will definitely look for her. The other party's last scream was like crazy, because he took away the other party's most precious treasure.
And her former tribe is gone, and there is no point in going back.
Finally she decided.
The Pillar Tribe was in the north, so she kept walking south.
As for what to do next, just think about it while walking, and then take a look at this beautiful world while thinking about it!
This is Zi's first trip.
She made a rectangular box out of wood, put the sleeping young man inside, and carried him all the way.
Fortunately, her body had changed and she was strong enough. While she became taller, it was difficult for her to feel tired from ordinary running and walking.
In addition, there is another point. Those weird things all over the world don't seem to approach her easily, at least they won't actively attack her.
In this way, at least she was free from the biggest obstacles and dangers during her travels.
For ordinary people in this world, traveling is a luxury and unimaginable.
"I may be the first person who can travel happily and freely on this land."
Zi was walking on the edge of the swamp carrying a box, thinking this in her heart.
During the trip, she gradually became familiar with her new body.
She has a power.
It is that kind of weird life-reproducing fetus that shows the most obvious power in the outside world, the power of resurrection from the dead. The first time she tried, she resurrected a long-dead beast.
The dragon beast that had wings but could only run on the ground stood up and walked crookedly around Zi for a long time.
finally.
He ran quickly into the distance, hissing and screaming.
This shocked her and made her look forward to it.
If she had this power, could she also resurrect the people of her tribe?
She didn't know.
In the past, she was an intelligent being who had mastered extraordinary power and was called a professional.
It was also at this time that she arrived at another draconian tribe and encountered a funeral and several people dying of illness.
The so-called funeral actually means carrying the body to the wild to wait for wild animals to eat it.
She demonstrated her power and brought these dead people back to life.
She knelt on the ground and laid her hands on the body.
Said softly.
"survived!"
"From the world of darkness, back to the light."
Next to the corpse, a brand new body is being born, intact and healthy.
After a while, it started to move.
Open your eyes and make a sound.
The dragon people of the tribe looked at this strange woman carrying a box on her back, watched her make strange movements, and then resurrected the dead people, and they all screamed in fear.
The dragon people of this tribe also have their own initial language, but it is a little different from that of the Zi tribe, and Zi can't understand what he is saying.
but.
Facts have proven that this power can indeed resurrect people.
Zi was very happy, and the dragon people also respectfully invited Zi back, and also brought back the resurrected people.
It's just that Zi felt a little strange on the way, because these resurrected people didn't remember anything.
It's like a newly born child.
Zi didn't completely care. Things like resurrection could happen, and the cost of forgetting something didn't seem too serious.
But what happened next completely destroyed Zi's understanding of her own power.
A young man who encountered an accident while hunting in the wilderness and was left with only a severed limb was "resurrected" by her. He actually ran back from the outside and appeared alive in front of everyone.
"How can it be?"
She looked at the two identical people and let out a low cry of disbelief.
The two men looked the same, except one was missing an arm.
Furthermore, one consciousness is like a newborn baby, and one is obviously already an adult.
She suddenly realized: "This is not resurrection, this is just creating another person with the same face."
She backed away repeatedly.
It turned out that this so-called resurrection from the dead was just her self-righteousness. In fact, the person who was resurrected was not the same person at all.
She left the tribe with some shame and extreme self-blame, not knowing how she should face these people she had recreated. Although the people in the tribe did not blame her, they even thanked her very much and gave her many gifts. Gift.
Even the young dragon man who escaped death accepted that he had an extra "brother".
But Zi knew that there seemed to be something wrong with his behavior.
It was also after that time that Ziji never used this power again, nor did he fantasize about being able to resurrect the people of his tribe.
However, Zi later also mastered another use of this power.
Create only part of the other party's organs, and then use your own magical power to install this organ on the other party, so that you can cure the other party's diseases and disabilities.
Along the way, Zi carried the wooden box and walked through one place after another. He also left many stories in the process of curing people's diseases and disabilities.
only.
People respected her and people feared her.
People saw her as weird, as a walker of the forest and the earth.
But no one saw her as a kindred spirit.
The farther you go, the longer you go.
The more I saw, I also saw all the mountains and forests.
The more lonely she felt.
She found no companions, no place to stop.
She was so different. The only people who were the same as her were the people in that box. They had the same form of God and once lived in the same dark and lightless world.
Alone in the dark night and on a journey with no one, she would always talk to the person in the box.
Actually.
She was the only one talking, telling the people in the box about her loneliness.
For a long time, she seemed to have imagined that the person in the box was really talking to her, and even imagined the other person's character. In her eyes, the other person seemed to gradually become a real person living around her.
I don’t know how long I’ve been gone.
One day, she reached the edge of the earth.
The shoreline extended from both sides into the distance, and the boundless water spread to the end of the sky. The fishy sea breeze lifted her hair and pressed it against the wooden box behind her.
She opened her mouth wide. This was the first time she saw such a scene.
She was a little happy, but her expression was still very reserved. She just turned her head slightly to look at the box behind her, and then stretched out a finger to point into the distance.
"Look, it's such a big lake."
She didn't know it was not a lake.
But the sea.
She put down the box, opened the lid and leaned on the stone, looking at the sea with the other person.
She had walked far enough and felt a little tired. Suddenly she felt that this place was very nice and she wanted to stay here temporarily.
But at this moment, she just wanted to quietly enjoy the scenery of the sea.
At night, with the help of moonlight and starlight, she dared to look seriously at the face of the person in the box. She no longer talked to the person, but just watched quietly.
Suddenly she asked.
"More than ten winters have passed, why haven't you woke up yet?"
The other person fell asleep quietly.
This body neither ages nor decays, just like a flower that never withers and is frozen in time.
Zi found an island by the sea and built a wooden house on the island, exactly like the one she once owned.
In this way, she really lived here.
——
In the beginning, everything was perfect.
She liked this place, it was quiet and beautiful, and the person in the box no longer had to be kept in the box. She would move the person to the beach every day to let him bask in the sun.
However, she didn't notice the shadow behind her changing.
As time passed her shadow began to look less and less like her silhouette.
Finally one day.
The shadow broke free from her bonds, began to bind her, and began to invade the reality around her.
As soon as she woke up, she found that her wooden house had been transformed into purple-red flesh, scary bumps appeared on the ceiling, and she could no longer take a step out of the wooden house.
The weird backlash finally arrived.
That power doesn't come without a price.
That huge weird existence that could affect the laws of celestial manipulation didn't seem to disappear, but was resurrected bit by bit in her body.
They are immortal monsters in the eyes of mortals.
And Zi is the first mortal in this era to possess strange powers. No one tells her what to do next or how to go forward.
The path of a professional is not something that one person can walk through.
Zi tried many times, but she couldn't get out of the weird body. It was as if her identities were swapped at this moment, and she became the other person's shadow.
Zi stood at the door and looked into the distance, and finally turned back.
She looked at the figure sitting on the chair and sat next to him, sitting in silence.
Suddenly, she looked at the figure next to her with her cold face, as if she was comforting him.
"it does not matter."
"I've been to many places and seen the world, and it's almost time to stay in one place."
"Hey, let's stay here for a while, okay?"
But this is just the beginning.
As her power continued to overflow from another space, she arrived in this world. In reality, the house became more and more alienated like a womb and placenta.
And it is still expanding. At the same time, the terrifying power is killing or distorting the life forms of ordinary creatures around it. The entire island is slowly beginning to become like a dead zone.
do not know when.
A small half of the island became like a womb of flesh and blood. The terrifying flesh wall blocked the sun in the sky, and the entire interior became dark.
But for Zi, her range of activities has also become wider.
Because she was worried that something terrible would happen if the black-haired man's body came into contact with the weird, or even be eaten by him, Zi put the man into the box again.
While the weirdness traps her, she is also able to influence and control some of the weird powers.
In the process.
With the help of weird power, she built a building that was half stone and half flesh inside Weird's body.
It looked somewhat similar to the buildings she had seen in the Pillar Tribe.
Faced with such a terrible situation, she seemed to gradually become less impatient and impatient, and was even still trying to find ways to find life and the joy of living.
However, as time and alienation continue to deepen, her consciousness often becomes blurred.
The strange emotions and experiences that had no intelligence, but still possessed an instinct for life, would flood into her mind from time to time.
The loneliness that traveled through endless years, and the madness born from the weird body poured into her consciousness.
This situation is becoming more and more serious.
Whenever she fell asleep she would fall into those strange visions.
She seemed to see the scene of that day again.
She saw dark clouds and bloody rain, saw purple-red flesh covering the entire sky, saw faces squeezing out of the flesh-wall membrane, and heard the cries of the walking dead.
"I don't want to die, I want to live."
“I want to live authentically in this world.”
"Talk to me!"
"Look at me, look at me... don't forget me."
"Please remember what I look like."
At this time, she also saw the huge ancient divine pillar again, and saw her name engraved on it.
she says.
"I can understand the desire for wisdom, but you can't devour me."
"look!"
"my name."
"That's my name, it's branded on the pillar."
The weird madness and power attacked like an overwhelming ocean, trying to completely submerge her, but her name was still engraved on the pillar.
Whenever she was about to get lost, she would wake up immediately as soon as she saw the name on the pillar.
But even so, she still began to fall into deep sleep and various hallucinations unconsciously, and these times became more and more frequent and the time became longer and longer.
What you see is not just the scene of that day, but occasionally you will see other ancient scenes, which seem to be what the weird thing called the fetus of life reproduction once saw.
There are volcanic eruptions, strange seas of stars, and terrifying tentacles stretching out from the depths of the ocean.
She even saw an unimaginably huge building extending from the ground to the sea of clouds in the sky.
That's a tower.
On the bed.
Zi opened her eyes again. She had just seen another strange vision.
But after she woke up, she immediately looked at the box placed aside. She didn't know how long she had slept. Recently, her perception of time had become a little blurry.
She walked down from the bed and staggered towards the box. The situation became more and more serious, and it seemed that she had begun to lose control of her body.
She walked a short distance for a long time.
She curled up tiredly, knelt down on the edge of the box with her legs on her sides, and looked inside.
Hair fell into the box from above, and she looked at the other person's sleeping face quietly.
But in the next moment.
She suddenly felt that she looked a little embarrassed. She immediately turned her body to one side and arranged her hair. At this time, she found that her hair had turned that purple-red color at some point.
And she looked at her hands and found that the skin on her arms had suddenly become as delicate and white as porcelain without pores when she first met Anissa.
Inhumanly white.
She understood that this was her being assimilated by that weird power little by little.
The expression in her eyes kept changing, but she finally turned her gaze to the inside of the box.
His eyes became calmer little by little.
Every time she woke up, she felt inexplicably at ease whenever she saw the figure lying quietly in the rectangular wooden box.
At least in this lonely world, she is not alone.
She started saying this to the other person again, even if she never got a response.
"Why are you still sleeping?"
"Don't you want to take a look at this world and the dazzling sun?"
She smiled, but suddenly she heard something in the darkness.
The sound was inaudible, but she still noticed it keenly.
She looked at the chest of the person inside the box and immediately discovered something unprecedented.
"Heartbeat."
That's the other person's heartbeat.
It was hard for her to believe it at first, so she just lay next to the box and listened.
There is indeed a sound.
It's just very slow, too slow to be perceived.
It's so slow that it takes a whole day to beat.
She finally confirmed: "He's going to wake up."
——
The purple-red stone building covers the entire monster body, dividing the monster body into one space after another.
A passage extends all the way to the outside exit.
Zi moved a heavy chair with all her strength, dragging her increasingly tired and uncontrollable body to the exit. Then she brought the person in the box here and carefully helped him sit up.
She arranged the blouse the other party was wearing, put on the wooden-soled rattan shoes for the other party, straightened the other party's body and faced outside.
This is the only place where you can see the sun and the outside world.
She knelt down behind the other person, holding on to the chair and looking outside with the other person.
she says.
"look!"
"Sun, the light you desire is there."
She turned her head and looked at the other person's face, hoping to make the other person wake up faster in this way.
And everything she did seemed to really work.
Although the other party's heartbeat is still as slow as if it doesn't exist, every time it beats, the next time it beats one minute faster.
It's like the time that has been fixed on the other person for hundreds of millions of years has finally begun to flow through the other person's body bit by bit, pulling the existence that was originally pulled out of time due to an accident back into this world bit by bit.
Day after day passed.
Every time Zi wakes up, she can see that the other person's heartbeat and rhythm of life are getting stronger.
But at the same time, the visions she saw became more and more serious and long-lasting.
Her body became more and more like the original Anissa, less like a person and more like a figure carved out of stone, a perfect porcelain doll.
Although it looks flawless, it doesn't smell like a human being at all, because humans are supposed to be imperfect.
She fell asleep for longer and longer periods of time.
She suspected that maybe she would fall asleep at some point.
After falling into a deep sleep for half a year, Zi's feeling became even stronger.
This time she woke up.
She came to the exit and leaned directly against the wall looking at the black-haired figure sitting at the entrance.
She kept watching, even as sleepiness and visions came one after another, trying to pull her into a deep sleep.
But she still refused to sleep.
because.
She felt that the other party was about to really wake up, and that day was very near.
She has been waiting for this day for who knows how long. She has thought about it since the day she traveled, and it has been deeply rooted in her bones since the day she arrived here.
Although she has carried the other person across the land and jungle, and although she has spoken countless words to the other person, the two have never really met each other.
She wanted to really meet the other person and talk.
Even just one sentence will do.
Even just listening to the other party's response to one byte is enough.
It's still dusk.
The red light of the setting sun shines from outside, passes through the sea, passes through the edge of the island, and falls on the only place where light can be seen.
Finally, she saw the other party's fingers move.
At this time, her consciousness had been affected by the illusion to the point where she could no longer distinguish reality. She didn't know whether what she saw was an illusion or something real.
But she still couldn't wait to raise her head and look at him.
She saw the other person's hand raised little by little, and his lowered head slowly looked outside. The light of the setting sun was projected on the other person's body, turning him into a light and shadow.
A not-so-bright smile finally appeared on her face. She was obviously so happy that her soul seemed to be trembling, but her smile was still very restrained.
But her trembling voice expressed her feelings.
"Are you awake?"
"You finally woke up, I know you will wake up."
"I know, because you are so eager to come to this world and so eager for light."
She tried all her strength to make a sound, but the sound still seemed very weak.
She wanted to stand up, but her body seemed to be stuck to the wall.
However, the figure still seemed to be unable to see or hear anything.
He just felt the warmth of the sun and instinctively walked outside, towards the sun.
His body woke up, but his consciousness was still immersed in the elongated years and reincarnation.
However, the consciousness trapped in time is only slowly coming forward one step after another, entering this world.
He stood up from his chair and walked slowly through the exit.
From darkness to light.
She knew that the other party was leaving.
she asked the other person.
"Are you leaving?"
"Go and see the outside world?"
"Have you felt the warmth of the sun or the sea breeze?"
She was happy for him.
Because the other party can finally get rid of the darkness, can finally see the light, and see the world.
He can see this beautiful world, just like she once did.
That was what she had been looking forward to.
She hopes that the other person can feel the happiness she once felt, because it is the other person who allows her to see the world, it is the other person who prevents her from being directly swallowed by weirdness, and it is the other person who allows her to travel through this world.
It is also the other person who accompanies her to spend the time when she is not alone.
She watched as the other person's movements became smoother and farther away from her, and her body was completely submerged in the sunlight outside.
But.
At the end when she saw that the other party was really leaving.
The happy mood was covered up by unspeakable sadness in an instant.
The smile on her face turned into strong reluctance at some point.
She suddenly struggled out from the wall she was leaning against, fell to the ground, and stretched out her hand towards the leaving figure in the passage under the setting sun.
"return!"
"do not leave."
she says.
"Don't leave me, I have nothing left."
"I...have nothing left."
"I don't want to live alone."
Tears streaked down her face, and she spoke to the other party in a crying voice.
"Don't leave me alone in the dark."
But.
The other party still instinctively followed the warmth of the sun and moved away, as if nothing could stop him.
Stepping on the land of the island shore, passing through the rugged rocks, disappearing into the waves of the sea.
Just like Anissa.
In the end, she couldn't keep him either.
