Mysterious journey

Woo~~~

There seemed to be an inexplicable whistling sound in the air, like the whistle of a distant train or the roar of some kind of creature.

Garen turned his head and suddenly looked at the night sky outside the balcony.

I don't know when, huge silver iron rings appeared in the sky. These iron rings seemed to be hanging in the void, with the upper half piercing the space, hanging motionless in the night sky.

Countless silver iron rings are spread across the sky, each one sparsely branched, stretching to the dark place where it is far away and cannot be seen clearly. Each iron ring is more than ten meters in diameter and one meter thick, and is extremely clear.

The moonlight shines down evenly, reflecting a faint silver light on these iron rings.

"You mean the Gate of Heaven?" Garen turned around and looked at the girl with red eyes who appeared inexplicably.

"That's the original source." The girl opened her red eyes wide. “Only the listener can see.”

Garen looked at the girl in front of him and suddenly felt a biting coldness on the back of his right hand. He raised his hand and saw an eye-catching red spot suddenly appeared on the back of his right hand, like a red mole.

He remembered that this was the mark of the listener that the child had imprinted on him. At that time, Duke Cody asked him inexplicably if he could see the mark on his body, but he refused.

"Then what is this?" He raised his hand and waved his mark towards the girl opposite.

"That's a qualification, a qualification acquired the day after tomorrow." The girl walked to Garen's side and also looked up at the night sky outside.

"Only with this qualification can you truly see the world." The girl said in a daze.

For a moment, neither of them spoke again, but quietly looked at the scene in the sky. Countless silver rings hung in the sky, as if it was just a strange picture.

Garen seemed to be looking at the sky and scenery, but at the same time, he also used part of his mind to be wary of the little girl's movements.

He just failed to kill the opponent several times in a row. This strange phenomenon made him feel slightly moved. If the opponent was the same as him, with nine lives and other innate abilities, then it would be easy to say, but inexplicably, his five senses Even with the mental induction, it was faintly discovered that the girl herself seemed to be in an unknown space. The external body seemed to be just a shadow of her outside. No matter how many times she was killed, it would not cause any harm to the body. Just like using light to destroy shadows, no matter how many words you say, it can't hurt people.

"Don't you want to go and have a look?" The girl suddenly laughed, "It's the first time you enter this world. Before, it was a world only us listeners could enter."

"What is your purpose?" Garen glanced at her.

"Purpose? Of course." The girl seemed to remember her purpose of coming, "Let me think about it. What is the purpose of my coming here?" She rubbed her forehead and made a distressed look.

Garen had already discovered something at this time. This guy seemed to be a little crazy, and there was something wrong with his brain. His words and deeds completely changed according to his mood, and her mood was completely unpredictable.

"Is the world of listeners the real world?" he asked again.

"Yes. This is a very wonderful existence. I have children, Nadu, and a total of ten other people, all born from here." The girl was reminded by Garen's words and diverted her attention.

"Thousands of years ago, you humans were still fighting for the imprint of the Listener. What's ridiculous is that now few people know about the existence of this world."

"What's the benefit here?" Garen stared at the little girl and continued to ask.

"Benefits?" The girl clicked her lips, "Everything found here can be taken out to the other side. Only the imprinted person can take it out. Well, there is also the Gate of Heaven. The existence of the Gate of Heaven can be found here. You Isn’t that ring on your hand also made here?”

She looked at the Troll's Grip on Garen's hand.

"Ring?" Garen subconsciously touched the Troll's Grip. This ring was a gift left to him by the urban troll. How could it be a product of this place?

"Urban troll, I've seen it before. It's so tall. He wanders everywhere. Only creatures that keep him well fed and drunk will give him this ring as a gift." The girl actually knew everything. Suddenly she turned her head slightly, Seems to be listening to something.

"How do you know?" Garen was interrupted by her before he could finish his words.

Shh~~

The girl raised her finger to her mouth and continued to listen.

"coming soon"

"What?" Garen frowned and stared at the other party.

"It's that big turtle. I'll take you to see some good things!" The girl suddenly took Garen's hand and jumped lightly outside the balcony.

call.

The two of them actually jumped out of the balcony and fell directly to the ground.

Bang!

It hit the ground hard, and the girl couldn't help but pull Garen and run away.

Garen didn't know what the other party was planning, and he didn't resist. He didn't sense the girl's malice. It seemed that after the two of them communicated for such a while, the discomfort in each other became less and less intense.

Pulled by the little girl to run, he left the manor and ran down the mountain.

At high speed, Garen looked back at the manor. The lights were still bright there, and there were still countless people gathering inside, but they were all frozen in place, motionless, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Someone was holding a wine glass and was about to take a sip when the wine tilted and almost flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Someone smiled and waved, their arms hanging in the air. Others echoed the music and dance partners twirled and tilted.

The band player plucked the strings, and the strings bent into a slight arc, but showed no signs of returning to straightness. At the gate, a young boy tripped over the threshold and was about to fall. His body tilted in the air, but he couldn't fall down.

Everything, all creatures seemed to have their bodies and minds immobilized, and only Garen and the girl could move.

The two of them shuttled through the forest, and the noctiluca moths frozen in mid-air were like bugs in amber, embedded and suspended in the air, motionless.

When Galen passed by, he gently pulled and tore off the moth's wings, and the faint poisonous powder spread out, like a small puff of black dust.

"Did you see it? In this world, there are countless existences of time at different flow rates. Normally, the world you are in is only at a low-to-medium flow rate. But once time is at an extremely low speed or even stops, those things that move at extremely high speeds will Expose them all, and now you can see their images clearly." The girl seemed to be talking to herself, or explaining to Garen.

As the girl spoke, the surrounding images and scenery moved faster and faster, becoming increasingly blurry.

At first, I could barely see that I was still in the absolute shelter zone, but later it completely turned into a blur and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Garen could only be pulled by the girl and kept turning around and moving quickly.

I don't know how long it took, but the girl suddenly stopped.

"Let's see." The girl's voice came from my ears.

All the surrounding scenery suddenly became clear.

This place seems to be a gray-black wasteland, surrounded by gray hills and mountains, on which sparse black plants and moss can be seen growing.

The ground was barren, with no green vegetation at all. Occasionally, there were a few tombstones stuck diagonally on the ground, and the writing on them had been completely blurred.

Garen raised his head.

There is no moon in the sky, only countless pale blue stars shed their light. The faint white clouds seemed to be there, but there was no sign of moving at all.

"Look. This is the most real side of the world." The little girl let go of Garen's hand, with a bright smile on her face.

Bang!

There was a heavy crash in the distance.

Bang!

Another sound.

Bang!

The third sound.

The sounds continued one after another, like the sound of footsteps, as if some heavy and huge creature was coming here step by step.

Garen looked in that direction from a distance.

Between the black hills, I saw a huge black turtle crawling towards this side.

The turtle carries a small piece of grass on its back, with several tombstones stuck crookedly on it, forming a small arch-shaped cemetery. From a distance, this small cemetery is actually its back shell.

The limbs of the turtle are four dry and forked tree roots, which are thick and gray-black. Every time they are lifted up and stepped down, they will make a dull impact on the ground.

Garen stared at the turtle closely, his body's vigilance suddenly raised to its highest level. The whole turtle is more than ten meters tall. As the distance gets closer and closer, the huge shape of the turtle becomes more and more clear.

What surprised Garen the most was not this, but what was behind the turtle.

There were densely packed and countless light blue humanoid figures following there. The bodies of these humanoid figures following behind were slightly fluorescent, like ghosts with translucent bodies. Among them were men, women, old and young. They were dressed in different styles. Their lower bodies did not have legs, but A ball of blue light floats.

"What is that?" Garen murmured. Although he has experienced countless magical things in the totem world, the meaning of this huge creature and the human figures following it can't help but make Garen's heart. miniature.

"That's a big turtle." The girl replied from the side. "Usually it only exists for a moment. According to your time unit, it's about one hundred and ninety thousandth of a second. But in this world we can see it clearly. It’s active.”

"What are these behind it?" Garen watched as the giant turtle passed by him, with a large group of light blue humanoids behind him.

"These?" The girl followed Garen's gaze and immediately understood that he was asking about the long line of light blue humanoids. "It's the undead~~"

"Undead?"

"It's the soul after death." The little girl explained casually. "Aren't you afraid?" She seemed a little strange. She originally ran over to see Garen out of curiosity to see what was special about this young man who made her host extremely afraid. But the more contact she had now, the more she felt the difference in Galleons.

"You just followed me here, weren't you afraid that I would hurt you?" the little girl finally couldn't help but ask.

"You can't hurt me." Garen laughed. Everything in front of me seemed to slowly coincide with the ancient Yinduo myth spread in the world of secret martial arts.

This world was once mentioned in ancient Yinduo mythology.

In the legendary world where everything is still, the once great hero Herla fought against the Destiny Water Snake here. Although he succeeded in killing the Destiny Water Snake, one of his arms remained here forever.

Only creatures with the same mark can harm each other, and the great sage who gave the hero the mark could not take action himself because of this, so he had to design the hero Hela to take action.

Even the great Mother Earth admits that she cannot interfere with everything here.

But what makes Garen feel weird is that that myth has obviously been circulated in the world of secret martial arts. He didn't expect that such a scene would also exist in the world of totem. The two worlds seem to have some kind of inextricable continuity.

The girl was still surprised by Garen's words, but at this time, the huge tombstone turtle passed by the two of them on the right, and countless blue-light human figures gathered behind them, like a blue fluorescent river, meandering and unknown. how long.

The humanoid undead in the river all had calm and dull faces, as if they had completely lost all self-awareness, and were just drifting behind the big turtle in a daze.

Garen couldn't help but think of the underworld carriage. In the library in the ruins of the city, the underworld carriage he encountered seemed to have some strange connection with the big turtle in front of him.

"When Cody was little, I took him to see the big turtle and he was scared to death. Why didn't you react at all?" The little girl looked confused. "Don't you want to know where the big turtle will take these undead souls?"
