Dancing Night

After clearing the monster in the mirror, King Rhoda regained his sobriety.Everything is a joke of the devil in the mirror. Ever since he looked in the mirror, the other side of King Rhoda has gradually controlled him.

The king is sometimes sober and sometimes confused, but he generally knows what happened around him, and now he is very scared when he thinks about it.

After hearing Xiaobei and Lan Ming's intentions, he immediately agreed to lead the army to help the people in the village deal with the Hounds, and explained to the villagers what happened at that time to regain their confidence.

Everything went very smoothly, but Xiaobei couldn't be happy at all, because he was worried!Xiaobei has been struggling with anti-corruption—why is there no Lan Ming in the mirror?It was agreed that we would come and go together, could it be that Lan Ming really couldn't go back?

At the thought of being separated from Lan Ming, Xiaobei felt an indescribable feeling of southern land.

Gurui seemed to sense his uneasiness, leaned over and rubbed Xiaobei with his chubby cheek to calm him down.

Lan Ming, King Luoda and the people in the village went to chase the Hound Clan together, and when they returned from victory, they saw Xiaobei who was frowning and worried.

"Beibei, what's the matter?" Seeing his appearance, Lan Ming ran over, sat beside him and asked.

"No... the battle is over?" Xiaobei adjusted his mood.

"Yeah!" Lan Ming was very excited, "We can go on the road now, the car has been repaired, Sissel and the others are waiting for us outside the city. We have to hurry up and meet Bailou and the others in the dark forest."

"In such a hurry?" Xiaobei hesitated, he hadn't figured out the matter about the mirror yet, so it was unlucky to go this far.

"What if you're not in a hurry?" Lan Ming raised the corners of his mouth, "Hurry up and go back after finishing your work, this different world is meaningless."

"That's right!" Xiaobei raised his face to look at Lan Ming, and said seriously, "I can definitely go back, okay? Let's go together."

Lan Ming and Xiaobei looked at each other for a long time, then nodded lightly, with a smile on their lips, but they didn't answer, they just reached out to grab his hand.

"Speak!" Xiaobei pulled his hand behind his back and felt that Lan Ming's smile was even more disturbing, so he withdrew his hand suddenly and pushed him hard, "The mirror may be faulty! It may be because you are a fairy, Demons and ghosts have boundless mana, so they can't be photographed!"

Lan Ming shook his head with a smile, and asked in a low voice, "When you say that, can I understand that you don't want to see me? That means you don't want to be separated from me?"

"I'm asking you a question, answer it carefully and don't change the concept!" Xiaobei was a little embarrassed, reached out and touched Gurui who was still dozing off, and whispered, "Are we all a family? We've been together for so long, Come together and go back together."

Lan Ming sighed lightly, and patted Xiaobei's head helplessly, "Do you know why there is a mirror demon in this mirror?"

"Because of the Philosopher's Stone on it?" Xiaobei replied, "Didn't I just say that?"

"The Philosopher's Stone can't think, only people can think." Lan Ming told Xiaobei, "I just talked to King Rhoda, and it turns out that he is most afraid that he will become like that. As he grows old, he is afraid that he will become more and more cowardly, and eventually become a greedy, cruel and foolish king. He married a beautiful young beauty as the queen, and he is worried that the queen will find a younger lover..."

Xiaobei listened and understood, "Oh! That mirror demon is not only the one who will produce silence that is contrary to his own nature, but also the person he is most afraid of becoming!"

Seeing that Xiaobei had realized it, Lan Ming nodded, "People are afraid that their shortcomings will outweigh their advantages, so it's normal."

When Xiaobei heard this, he seemed to understand, "So, you are also afraid that you will disappear?"

Lan Ming sighed lightly, and reached out to touch Xiaobei's shoulder, "I've never been worried before, and I once hoped so, but now I suddenly start to worry."

"Why?" Xiaobei still didn't quite understand.

Lan Ming turned his face slightly, and whispered in Xiaobei's ear, "Because now you are also afraid that I will disappear."

Xiaobei felt a slight heat on his face, and rubbed it with his hands, "I'm very loyal, I won't leave you here alone."

"You humans have a saying to describe you as a dead duck with a hard mouth." Lan Ming stretched out his hand and touched Xiaobei's head, "I don't have any special requirements, remember to tell me the truth before I see you, or I will be pitiful gone."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiaobei glared at him, "Whatever you want to hear, let's go back to the real world!"

Lan Ming was surprised, and after digesting for a while, he asked, "Well... Beibei, you mean, if we return to the real world together, you will confess to me?"

"Who said that?" Xiaobei immediately became uncomfortable.

"Oh, that means you just accept my confession when you return to the real world, right?" Lan Ming continued to play rogue.

Xiaobei was speechless, but he didn't say that Lan Ming was not allowed to confess, he just pushed him, "Let's go, don't you say you want to meet Qi Liao and the others in the dark forest?"

Lan Ming smiled happily, and walked out together with Xiaobei, "I will confess my confession at that time, don't hold on like you are now, be frank!"

Xiaobei's face was red, this person is really...

Putting Gurui into the bag, Xiaobei tidied up his clothes, thought for a while...and reached for the gem on the magic mirror.

"Why do you want it?" Lan Ming was puzzled.

"Look at other people's weaknesses!" Xiaobei hid the stone in the interlayer of the bag, "Destroy it when necessary, so as not to harm others in the future!"

Lan Ming nodded, feeling that the decision was reasonable.

……

Everyone left Rhoda country, said goodbye to Yorkshire, and drove on the road.

Xiaobei seized the time to catch up on sleep in the car. His nerves have been highly tense these days, and it is rare for him to be sleepy, so he must take good care of it.

I don't know if it was influenced by the Philosopher's Stone, but Beibei had a very strange dream that frightened him.

In the dream, Xiaobei dreamed that suddenly everyone around him disappeared, from Xiesel, Sphinx, Gurui... Finally, Lan Ming, everyone disappeared, and he fell into darkness.After Da Wen worked hard to break through the darkness, he woke up and found himself in the library, with a book of dance nights in front of him.

He ran out of the library and looked around. The library hadn't collapsed or been rebuilt, it was still the same.He went to EX again, and found that it didn't exist at all, it was still the original wine, crowded and lively.

Back at home, looking at the calendar and the inscription on the wall, time went back to the day when I met Lan Ming.Going down a different route, Xiaobei's vitality, without Lan Ming, without Gurui...Everyone is gone, and I have no spiritual power, can't see the soul, and nothing seems to have happened.

When Xiaobei woke up again, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hey?" Gurui leaned in front of him, tilted his head to wipe his sweat, and asked him what nightmare was it?

Xiaobei stayed for a long time, then suddenly reached out and grabbed a piece of meat on Gurui's buttocks, and twisted it hard.

"Goo!" Gurui jumped up in pain, rubbing his buttocks and looking at Xiaobei aggrievedly.

Xiaobei pinched himself twice again, and then went to pinch Sphinx and Hissel.It wasn't until everyone woke up screaming in pain that Xiaobei calmed down.

Sitting back in his seat, he looked up at Lan Ming who was still driving seriously.Lan Ming still drove the car with a blank expression... After arriving in another world, he began to get used to silence, unlike in the real world where he was not serious all day long.

The sky in the other world is also dark, and the stars look much brighter than in the real world, but Xiaobei has no intention of admiring such a view, but lays down on the seat, staring at Lan Ming in front of him.

A long time ago, really very early... During the few days when I first met Lan Ming, Xiaobei once hoped that everything was just a dream.He had a very weird dream in the library, and when he woke up, he went back to the library and lived his life step by step according to the original day.

But I don't know when, this kind of expectation disappeared and turned into a complete opposite hope - even if it was just a dream, I also hoped that Meng would never wake up.

When did this change begin?Xiaobei suddenly thought that if the magic mirror could see the future he feared the most...then what he feared most was that one day he would dance alone without Lan Ming by his side.

The long journey, the silent night, and soon, everyone else rested.

Lan Ming was driving the car, Xiaobei was watching him from behind, the two of them just kept quiet until dawn...

During the day, the car drove fast in the desert of Yimapingchuan, and finally entered a dark area.

Looking at the color of the sky, the outside is still blue, and the inside is dark, very black, as if shrouded in black light.Xiaobei was puzzled, and asked Lan Ming, "Where have we been?"

"At the entrance of the dark forest." Lan Ming replied.

Xiaobei became nervous, "Does that mean we will arrive at our destination soon?"

"There is still a long way to go, we have to go through the last city." Lan Ming pointed to the front.

"What city?" Xiaobei looked around curiously.

"Dark city." Lan Ming stopped the car, sat there and looked around, "I don't know if Qi Liao and the others have arrived."

"Why does that city look lifeless?" Xiaobei leaned on the car window and looked out, pushing Lan Ming at the same time.

Chissel frowned and said in a low voice, "Yeah, it seems to have been abandoned for many years."

"En." Lan Ming nodded slightly, but his eyes were looking at a hill in the distance.There is a very towering castle on the top of the mountain, only a faint outline can be seen in the dark.What surprised Xiaobei and the others was that they found a little light on the top of the castle, although it was small, it was very bright.

"Someone still has it." Xiaobei felt curious, who would live in such darkness?

"That's not a person, it's an ever-burning lamp." Lan Ming said, "It's on all year round, and the ever-burning lamp controlled by the glowing Philosopher's Stone can be found no matter how dark it is."

"Why is there such a lamp?" Xiaobei asked casually.

Lan Ming smiled slightly, didn't say much, stretched out his hand, and squeezed Gurui who was looking at the map on Xiaobei's lap.

Gurui stretched out his hand to rub his buttocks, and looked at Lan Ming with some puzzlement.

"Did you hear any special sound?" Lan Ming asked Gurui.

Gurui went to the window of the car and listened carefully. The hearing of the Dragon Clan seemed to be well developed. Gurui obviously heard it. Turning around, he murmured a few words.

Xiaobei understood that Gurui said that he heard a strange voice, like many people talking.

"It's the sound of Echo Valley." Lan Ming told Xiaobei, "It's far away from here, it's a very magical place, as long as you make a sound in it, the sound will be trapped in the valley forever, no matter how long you can't get out .”

"This is very interesting!" Xiaobei heard of this kind of place for the first time, and really wanted to go and see it.

"In the past, many people would go there to talk, just like some kind of special diary. For example, the first cry of a child, the last words before death, or some special words, they would go there and leave them. It has been like this for a long time I will go in after a long time, and I will miss it when I hear it occasionally. I won’t be tired after playing in it for a day, because I can know the stories of many people.” Lan Ming said with a little regret, “It’s a pity that the current valley should be a piece of land. It was pitch black, and it used to be very beautiful."

After listening to Lan Ming, Xiaobei realized——Lan Ming seems to be very familiar with this place!

He probed to look at the castle again, and suddenly felt familiar, and with a glance—Xiaobei saw the huge tree next to the castle.

Xiaobei opened his mouth wide - this is the place he once came to with Lan Ming in his dreams, and this is the country where Lan Ming lived.It turned out that the so-called Dark City was the heavenly kingdom where Lan Ming lived in the past.

In the dream, this place is like a fairyland, the sun is shining brightly, and the white flowers on the green grass are blowing waves with the wind.Xiaobei was impressed once he came here, of course...and Lan Ming's beautiful mother.

"Is it due to jet lag or bad weather?" Xiaobei asked Lan Ming, "Will it still be bright?"

"Since the disappearance of the king, this place has been shrouded in darkness, and this darkness will never dissipate." Sphinx helped Lan Ming answer, "The original residents have all gone, and some of them have settled in other places in the other world. There are very few people who swear to follow the king, and they all entered the dark forest."

Lan Ming opened the car door and got out of the car, looking into the distance, as if looking for Qi Liao and the others.

Xiaobei leaned over and asked Sphinx in a low voice, "What's the matter with that lamp?"

Taking advantage of Lan Ming's inattention, Sphinx replied in a low voice, "Lan Ming lit it, there is his room, and there are memories of the queen living with him. The dark breath here can never be cleared, and the darkness will still Swallow everything up little by little. So Lan Ming lit such a lamp, which will not be swallowed by the darkness anyway, hoping to keep the memory."

"Oh..." Xiaobei looked at Lan Ming outside and felt a little sad. If Lan Ming really disappeared, it would be difficult to find evidence that he once existed... Who is not? ?Once gone, it will soon be forgotten, as if it never appeared, which is sad.

"Lan Ming's father is so strange." Xiaobei asked in puzzlement, "Why do you want to separate your wife and children?"

"Do you think all gods and demons have feelings for humans like this?" Sphinx curled his lips, "If it weren't for Lan Ming's half-human mixed blood, he would have no feelings, just like gods and demons." Searle, "If there were no Dragonfinch Cult, he would be that kind of emotionless creature."

Xiaobei frowned, "But why did Lan Ming's father find a human to marry and have children? It must be because he loves his mother? This is also understandable, aunt is so cute."

"Heh." Sphinx laughed dryly, "What the king wants is the incomparable ability of a super hybrid!"

Xiaobei frowned, "It's really bad!"

"All gods and demons are struggling with human problems." Sphinx smiled, "Human beings are the most vulnerable existences in the other world, but they live the longest and are the hardest to destroy!"

"That's true!" Xiaobei nodded, "Human survival ability is actually very strong."

"The key is the emotional connection between them, which gods and demons will never understand!" Sphinx shook his head, "The most evolved ones are actually celestial beings. They have no feelings for each other, they have outstanding abilities, and they can even control other people's bodies." Thought, appearance, and wisdom are all flawless, but the strange thing is that the most destructive thing is his life! Ming has no lower demon patriarch."

"That's natural, how can you reproduce without feelings?" Xiaobei poked Gurui, and Gurui rubbed his fingers back and forth with his arms around him.

"The dragon race is also very strange. They are obviously the most fully evolved gods and demons, but they are obsessed with human feelings, and they are very loyal... and they are extinct in the end!" Existence without emotion and emotion is too pure to be extinct. Now gods and demons are gradually dying out, only human beings... are becoming more and more incompetent but more and more prosperous. Sometimes despicable and sometimes pure and cunning human beings, there are many Strong vitality!"

"Hey!"

While Xiaobei and Sphink were discussing the serious issue of population vitality, Xiesel was lying on the side of the car window and waving to the distance.

Everyone looked over and became happy, only to see Qi Liao and the others had arrived!

"Lan Ming, shall we go into the forest next?" Xiaobei patted Lan Ming, but saw his face was serious.

Xiaobei looked in the direction he was looking, and saw that Qi Liao and the others were not missing, everyone was there, and finally there were a few more people.

"Ah!" Xiaobei couldn't help frowning after seeing the man clearly—why is he here!
