Silver Blade and Rose

"I thought I was going to kill his pursuers, so I wounded your follower. Because he is human, he was injured more severely than I imagined. I am very sorry for this."

Onsarst acted with sincerity, and Zarles might have believed it if it wasn't for the person involved.He was sitting on the chair, obviously he was the victim, but he felt a little joy from Onsarst's lines, and couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth into a sneaky smile.

Even without looking back, Edwin could feel that he was being silly, a bit incomprehensible, but he continued to cooperate with Onsarst in order to avoid tearing up his face on the spot if the scene couldn't go on.

He didn't want to fight with Onsarst just yet, there must be someone behind the opponent, and it would be a big loss for a small loss.Temporarily holding the little fish Onsaster, and then taking the opportunity to lure out the guy behind him, it would not be a waste of his time here to cooperate with the other party in acting.

"I'm not interested in you accepting human believers, but you moved someone who shouldn't be moved, and I have to settle it with you."

He pretended to pursue responsibility, and Onsarst also pretended to admit his mistake and apologize. Neither party mentioned the matter of Elvins' amnesia and trapping, as if it had never happened, and there was no need to bear any responsibility, just sticking to it Ernes said a few words about the "death" of his serious injuries.When Onsarst obediently admitted his mistake and said that he would pay him a "useful" human servant, Edwin finally couldn't help frowning in disgust, and said coldly: "Keep it for yourself."

Unable to provide any more nutritious information, he seemed impatient to send the other party a few words, and ended the call.There was no light from Unsastre, and the room returned to the darkness just now. Zals quickly reached out to press the phone, but Edwin held down the hand that was fumbling for the phone in the dark.

"Don't worry." He whispered.

Zals stopped his movements obediently, and felt Edwin take a step to the left, stopping just in front of him, but he didn't let go of the hand that was holding him.

His heart suddenly felt as if a switch had been pressed, and it started beating uncontrollably, and he lowered his eyes unnaturally—in fact, he couldn't see anything at all, it was just an instinctive reaction.But the next second Edwin leaned down, and the slightly warm breath hit his ear, and Zals completely turned into a human-shaped stone, not daring to move.

"Is it dark in here?" Edwin asked him.

Zales nodded honestly.

If it is not black here, I am afraid there is nothing that can be called black.Not only is it dark, but when they are silent, there is only complete silence around them, as if they are isolated in a space independent of the world, and the panic that has no way of contacting the outside world will gradually spread in this silence, Gradually corrode people's hearts.

Just like the famous water drop experiment, when a prisoner was blindfolded, his movement was restricted, and he was unable to communicate effectively with the outside world, someone swiped his wrist and told him that he was being bled. This person will hear what he said in panic The sound of water droplets is regarded as the sound of one's own blood flowing out bit by bit, and one may eventually fall into extreme fear, falling into a coma because of fear of excessive blood loss and death.This is an illusion that people who have experienced light and freedom will have. Edwin didn't know that the environment he was in was abnormal at the time, and it was hard to imagine what kind of thoughts he would have in the process of growing up.

"I was born and brought up here," said Edwin in the dark, "Herlett doesn't come back often, and I've been here by myself for countless hours, and no one dared to visit me. , I can’t even open the door and go out to have a look.”

"……why?"

"Because I am a child that shouldn't be born. Baidi people don't use flesh and blood to conceive new life like humans, but use their own strength to nourish the embryo and wait for it to mature before separating it. My appearance was an accident. He didn't voluntarily I wanted to leave offspring, and I didn’t think I would become a father, so I left Baidi without hesitation, and only discovered my existence after settling in hell.” Edwin said, “He has no experience, and he doesn’t want to let other compatriots know, so I always He was left here when he was born, and he opened the door until he came back from the war, took me outside, and told everyone that I was his heir."

It sounds like Hullett's actions have caused a lot of harm to his young self.Zals imagined that if he was locked up in this kind of place when he was a child, he might completely collapse in less than two hours, but Edwin didn't know how long he lived here alone before he waited for Herlett. The moment the door opened.

He felt a little sad in his heart. Maybe Edwin's father didn't love him, otherwise he wouldn't treat his child like this.

"Do you think I was abused in my childhood?" Feeling his depression, Edwin actually smiled, "It's actually not that difficult. I have been here since I was born, and I have never had a sense of time. I don't know what I am. No one knows how long it has been. Strictly speaking, it just took some time to grow up, and was taken to the outside world, and I didn't hate this place much."

Zals didn't want to poke his scar, so he didn't say anything, and listened to him quietly.

"At that time, I didn't have the concept of 'black' and 'white', because I couldn't see anything, and I could only distinguish the surrounding things and my own position by touch. I didn't know where it was until that day when Herlett opened the door. What's the difference between it and the outside, or, that's when I realized that I've been locked inside."

Edwin finally let go of his hand, Zals heard him walking away, subconsciously called his name: "Where are you going?"

He didn't hear Edwin's answer. A few seconds later, with the sound of the heavy door being pushed open, the strong light tore through the darkness and broke into his sight with a domineering posture.

Suddenly encountering strong light, Zarles raised his hand reflexively to cover his eyes, and it took him a while to gradually adapt to the light. He slowly opened his closed eyes and saw Edwin standing in front of the door with the backlight.

There was light outside the door, pure light, so bright that it hurt his eyes, but there was a black tie in the light, extending from the distance to the door, connecting the building they were in.

"Herlett is not as bad as you imagined. Although he found out that I didn't tell anyone and no one knew why he locked himself here, he didn't break up my undeveloped soul. He crushed a piece of his own soul to protect me, and then separated me from his body with great difficulty." Edwin stood at the intersection of light and darkness in the door, as if looking at the endless sky outside, or at the The person who opened the door back then, "and he brought this world to me, even if there is no father-son relationship, I should thank him."

After hearing his words, Zars was in a complicated mood, and was attracted by the scene in front of him. He didn't know when he stood up and walked to Edwin's side. When he came back to his senses, there was already It is the boundless white light and the only black.

He suddenly realized that he had been here, in a dream.

That was after he had just escaped from the "Forest of No Return" and brought Elvins back to No. 179.He confirmed that he lost consciousness after returning to Edwin's room. He felt that he had slept for a long time, and finally had a strange dream. When he woke up, he didn't realize where it was. Don't worry, this dream has been left behind in his mind for the time being.

In the dream, there was a pointed building somewhat similar to the temple in the forest. It was pure black and stood out in a world full of light, but it did not take away its sense of existence due to the light.On the contrary, the light passing through the building seemed to be absorbed by it, and there was no other object in that dream except the black road extending to its feet.

Now the scene Zals sees is exactly the same as in the dream, but the direction is changed, and what he sees is partly more than in the dream.Edwin was dressed in white and black trousers, standing in front of the door like a painting that should have been here in the first place.His eyes fell on a certain point in the sea of ​​light, there was nothing there, just a vast expanse of whiteness.

And he himself was the only foreign object in that dream, as he was now.

"Edwin," Zars really couldn't understand why he dreamed of this place, and pulled the sleeves of the people around him suspiciously, "I... have something to tell you, about this place and the one I did before. Dream."
