Mystery Kingdom I

dark.

As far as the eye can see, there is an endless gray space.

In this space, apart from chaos and coldness, there seems to be nothing else.

No, there is one more thing - or should I say many.The surging crowd moved forward silently, heading in the same direction from all directions.No one knows where the road under their feet leads, people just follow their feelings vaguely but surely.Everyone's face was blank.It seemed that everyone was summoned by an unknown force and moved their steps mechanically.

I am one of this huge team.

Thoughts are still clear, but the body walks mechanically uncontrollably, following everyone to the unknown road.I don't know if I am also like them, with a blank face and glazed eyes.Try hard and find that you can still make a sound.

"Where are we going?" A hoarse voice came from his throat.

No one answered me.Everyone just took steps, forward, forward.

There are only the sound of thousands of people stepping and the friction of clothes corners.In this unknown space, even the air is still.However, I clearly felt the cold and biting wind seeping into the bone marrow bit by bit.

The body is so tired and the throat hurts.I want to stop and rest, but my hands and feet don't listen.

Memories gradually emerged.I remember that I ate the apple poisoned by Ahaila.It hurt so bad, my whole body was in pain at that time, my strength was pulled away little by little, and the blood flowed from my eyes blurred my vision... After that, how did I come to this strange place?

My mind was blank, as if I had opened my eyes and arrived here.

A bad premonition suddenly rose in my heart.

I don't know how long I've been walking, and I'm a little dizzy from fatigue.If it was normal, I would have collapsed from exhaustion, right?But at this time, even though he was dizzy, his consciousness was very clear, and his hands and feet were still waving rhythmically.

Slowly, the surroundings became less gloomy and cold.There seemed to be some light around.

After another journey, I gradually began to feel warm, and the front was getting brighter and brighter.At this moment, Fang could see clearly that the road under his feet was scorched black soil, and the sky—if it could be called heaven—was densely packed with darkness.

In the direction of everyone's goal, a towering giant tree stands.The tree was the only light source in this dark space.From the trunk to the branches and leaves, the whole body is pitch black, but it emits warm and bright light, which makes people feel peaceful.

Getting closer and closer to the tree, I suddenly found that the bodies of the people around me turned into balls of shimmering light without knowing when.Looking around, I was the only one still maintaining my body, walking in the sphere of light.

What exactly is going on?

Thinking that I might lose my body like them at any time, I couldn't help feeling scared and shivering.

Fortunately, the situation I was afraid of never happened.And I, with those floating balls of light, came to a place not far from the trees.

"Wow, woof..." A dog barked suddenly from ahead, and a white creature appeared in front of my eyes.

Small body, wagging tail.Two hollow black holes in the pale skull faced me.

Is that... the skeleton of a moving dog? !

"Nemo, wait for me!" The little girl's voice was clear and sweet.

In a blink of an eye, a little girl in a red dress ran up ahead.She has long goose-yellow hair tied behind her head with a red ribbon, white and tender skin, and bright eyes. She is wearing a bright red princess dress with several red satin bows on the waist, skirt, and cuffs.On the feet are white socks and a pair of red shoes.

Her bright red looks a bit dazzling in this chaotic and dark space.

The skeleton dog shook its tail, jumped into her arms, and yelled at me, "Wow, woof".Following the sound, the little girl blinked her big black eyes when she saw me, very puzzled.

"Nemo, there's someone here." She looked me up and down.

The skeleton dog barked twice in agreement.

"That's weird, it's the first time I've seen someone here." Xiaozui grinned innocently, revealing two cute little canine teeth, "Let's take her to Dad."

She patted the head of the creature in her arms.The skeleton rubbed against her palm affectionately.She came up to me and took my hand.The chubby hands were soft and warm.

I followed her and walked towards the giant tree.

When he approached the giant tree, he found a man standing under the tree.Silver-white hair hanging down to the ground, deep facial features, and a handsome face.I tried my best to find a suitable word to describe his appearance, but only two words came to my mind - good looking.Yes, he is very good-looking. No matter how beautiful words in the world are in front of him, they look so pale.The moment I saw him, I thought I saw a god.

The girl in red let go of my hand and ran towards him bouncingly, "Dad, Denisa is back!"

Seeing the little girl, he smiled gently and stretched out his arms with black gloves.

The man picked up the girl, "Why are you so happy, did you find something interesting again?"

The girl put her arms around his neck and said happily, "Dad, look, Denisa has brought a person, a whole person. Denisa has never seen anyone here before."

Hearing her words, the man frowned slightly, his eyes passed over the girl's head, and he saw me standing not far away.

"Come here." He beckoned to me.

I immediately stepped towards him, as if attracted by some magical power, completely involuntarily.I stood in front of him.

He looked at me carefully, "So it's from 'there'."

"Where? Denisa doesn't understand." The little girl blinked in confusion and bit her thumb.

"Don't bite your finger." He removed his thumb from the girl's mouth, "It's what Dad and the baby said before, it exists in another world of time and space."

The little girl thought for a while, her eyes lit up, "Dinisha remembered, Dad told her about it."

"Yes," the man pampered the girl's hair, "Dad told the baby."

"Then can she stay with Denisa?" The little face was full of expectations.

The man was silent for a while, and said, "Is the baby lonely?"

"No, no," the little girl waved her chubby little hand, "Dinisha has a father, so she is not lonely." Looking at the skeleton dog in her arms, she said with a smile, "There is also Nemo."

The man kissed the girl on the cheek, "The baby is so good. We can't keep her, we have to let the people over there extradite her back."

I seem to understand something, they are discussing sending me back to the original world.So where am I now?

I tried to speak, but it was in vain.

As if sensing my intention, the man snapped his fingers at me, "I forgot about you."

With a soft "pop", my body shook, and then I regained consciousness.It feels good to be able to move freely with hands and feet.

"Where am I?" I asked hastily.

"Underworld." The man said with a smile.

"What..." I was shocked, and it turned out that what I had been secretly skeptical for a long time turned out to be the truth.Woo, I'm still young, I don't want to die yet.
