I Was Once a Legend

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Passed through a box in a daze, experienced a series of thrilling and exciting things inside, a cat with a Russian accent came to the house, decided to go on a pilgrimage, learned some secrets, and there are more secrets waiting to be explored.

It is a big heart to be able to fall asleep peacefully.

Dong Zheng sat on the recliner at the door of the balcony, looking at the bright moon outside the window, the stars shining in the dark blue velvety night sky.This is a starry sky that is difficult to see in the real world. The wind blows in through the half-opened windows, carrying the scent of unknown flowers and plants, and the unique mysterious atmosphere here.

This world, it seems, is not what they seem to be.

All the bright and magnanimous future, along with the car accident that was not an accident, shattered like the moon in the mirror and slipped away through the fingers.

Dong Zheng closed his eyes, half of his handsome face was bathed in the moonlight, and the other half was immersed in the shadows, the boundary between light and dark passed over his tall nose without a sound.

In the bedroom separated by a wall, Dong Linhai did not sleep peacefully on the bed.

He was really exhausted in Hameln. The overwhelming exhaustion made him fall asleep in a daze after learning so many things, but it didn't take long before he suddenly woke up inexplicably.

The moonlight leaked from the gap in the curtains, illuminating the long and narrow area beside the bed. He stared blankly at the light, and suddenly smelled a fishy-sweet smell.

……what?

The cold and viscous liquid dripped from the ceiling, landed on his face with a "click", slid down his cheeks, and stained the sheets red.

The smell was even stronger and disgusting.

Dong Linhai trembled, he held his breath, raised his hand to touch his face, the blood was wiped away, and it was clearly reflected in the moonlight.

Two huge lizards jumped out from the darkness under the bed, screaming and leaping towards him with mouthfuls full of fangs, their sharp claws tore his skin, and their eyes gleamed with hatred——

Dong Linhai suddenly opened his eyes.

The boy was panting violently, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.The white cat that was sleeping next to his bed was nowhere to be seen, the bedroom door was ajar, and the shadow of the drinking fountain was hidden in the corner.

The smell of blood and the stench from the lizard's mouth seemed to be still in his nose.Now that he was completely sleepy, Linhai huddled under the quilt and lay down for a while, always feeling that there was indeed something hidden in the darkness, the ghosts of the two lizards he brutally killed were lingering around his body, sending out voices that he couldn't hear Crying and screaming.

He wanted to get more and more frightened, and decided to sit in the living room.

Putting on his slippers and putting on his coat, Linhai opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, and immediately saw Dong Zheng sitting on a chair by the balcony door.

"Brother?" There was a moment of surprise, Lin Hai called softly.

Dong Zheng, who was thinking about something with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, looked at the young man with a grim complexion, and asked, "Why did you come out?"

"I can't sleep." Linhai replied honestly, and sat down on the sofa. He hasn't told anyone about Hamel's experience after being taken away by the orderly.The feeling of the knife cutting through the flesh, the rush of adrenaline during the killing, and the panic and excitement when the blood spurted out, all held in his heart, making him panic and uneasy.

"Then sit for a while." Dong Zheng changed to a more comfortable position. Linhai looked like their father, ordinary in appearance, but masculine and upright, and he followed his mother who died of amniotic fluid embolism and dystocia. Here, the woman who exists only in the photograph.

The two brothers sat in the living room silently. This was the fourth night after they came to Pure White Realm. There was no longer the sound of yelling and going downstairs for dinner and the warm lights in the small room of Tongzilou, and the middle-aged couple Men and women, Dong Zheng's father and stepmother, after learning that they lost two children at the same time, how will they collapse?

All this they have no way of knowing.

Linhai felt a little cold, he shrank his neck and said: "Brother, I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that the two lizards that I killed in the box came to seek revenge on me and wanted to eat me."

Dong Zheng raised his head in surprise, but it wasn't too unexpected. The box was muddled, and the plot was torn apart by Cui Zuojing's intervention. They didn't have time to talk about what happened: "Is it in the kitchen?" ?”

Lin Hai nodded and said, "I was in the kitchen when I woke up. There was a lizard trying to throw me into the boiling water bucket. In desperation, I took a knife...to kill it. Then I found another lizard Auntie, she is about to be killed and eaten, I hacked the chef to save her."

It is not difficult to say these things personally, but Linhai's mood has not become lighter because of this, the shadow of taking other people's lives by himself still hangs over his head, whether it is the spreading blood or the expression of death, it makes him uneasy .

Dong Zheng took a deep breath, he could understand his younger brother's inner struggle, after all compared with him, Linhai was still too young, a boy of this age hadn't stepped into the society yet, his eyes couldn't tolerate sand, and his heart wasn't hard enough.

But in the pure white world, these points are enough to kill him.

Dong Zheng said in a low voice: "Linhai, this is no longer the world we are familiar with. You should be able to understand that here, if you are soft-hearted, you will only die. What's more, you really think those lizards are human beings. ?"

"I know that they are not human, and I can guarantee that when the situation is critical, I will let myself live first, but...but I still feel uncomfortable." Linhai whispered, "I I also understand that there will definitely be more bloodshed and death on the pilgrimage, maybe one day, I will get used to it and take it for granted... But now, I really can't accept it."

"The United States conducted a survey during World War II. The survey showed that the bullet utilization rate of most soldiers is extremely low. They would rather be killed by the enemy than kill easily."

Dong Zheng looked at the young man pursing his lips in the dark, and said slowly, "Later, in order to change this situation, the US military changed the ordinary moving target into a human form during target training, so that in war, soldiers can easily follow the target's instinct To shoot the enemy. This succeeded in winning the next few wars for the U.S. military, but at the same time, it also caused many soldiers to suffer from severe battlefield syndrome.”

""Saving Private Ryan"?"

Dong Zheng nodded: "Yes. It is a normal human instinct to be unwilling to kill creatures similar to us. It is normal to feel uneasy and sad because of this, but here, there is nothing you can do. If you feel scared, Come find me anytime."

He paused and softened his voice: "Cui Zuojing is right, you are a little too dependent on me, but it doesn't matter, no matter who it is, it will take some time to adapt."

The conversation between the two brothers in the middle of the night was not known to others. At this time, Cui Zuojing was not in the prisoner's space. He was sitting on the roof of the tube building with Victor who slipped away halfway.

The evening wind blew through the boy's forehead hair, carrying the dampness unique to the night, Victor squatted gracefully, looking into the distance.

Just now Cui Zuojing told him everything that happened in Hameln.

The emerald green streamer shimmered in the palm of Cui Zuojing, and the fluctuation of space energy loomed on the fragment named "Goodwill". Victor touched this piece of soul with the tip of his tail, feeling the joy it conveyed .

"The most important thing now is to find out the whereabouts of Fu Zhe, Luoyan and Nana. After you were summoned away, the clown told me some bad news. Since we left, there has been no news from Luoyan and Nana at all. , Fu Zhe is alright, now that he has soul fragments, he has found a clue."

"The two of them are what I'm most worried about now." Cui Zuojing held the light in his palm, and the three seals on his wrist appeared for a moment, "But with the identity of the master of elements, the queen can't really kill them." They can be considered a consolation."

Victor hummed, pondered for a moment, and said, "You said you met "The Mystery of Worms" in the box? That should be a branch of its consciousness, used to supervise Fu Zhe's soul fragments."

"Yes, it's just a very weak branch, but it's a bit troublesome. At least now the Queen's lackeys know the news of my return." Cui Zuojing said it was troublesome, but he didn't feel a headache because of it. When Henry gave him a relief, he gave up the idea of ​​hiding temporarily.

Anyway, no matter how you hide, you will always be found.

Victor: "According to the character of "Mystery of Worms", it should not tell the Queen and others for the time being. After all, the struggle between their successors has reached the point of irreconcilability. It can contain us or directly kill us. It is definitely a great achievement in front of the queen, it will not easily share such a good thing with others."

Cui Zuojing sighed softly, and held Victor in his arms: "I hope."

The white cat rubbed his nose against the side of his face reassuringly, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will always be with you."

"By the way, how do you feel about the person who signed the prisoner contract with you?" Victor already knew that there was a blood contract between Cui Zuojing and Dong Zheng. Totally critical.

"He should be a good helper." Cui Zuojing gave a very good evaluation.

It seemed that it was really good, Victor couldn't help smiling: "I think so too, not only him, but that boy also has great potential."

"Uncle, I'm relieved to hear you say that. I absolutely believe in how you look at people."

Victor joked with a smile: "At least I feel better than when you first entered here. I still remember that you basically needed me and Fu Zhejiu every time."

"I was only 16 years old at that time, okay? Dong Zheng is an adult, how can he be compared with me, and Dong Linhai is a sports student, isn't it normal for him to have better physical fitness than me?" Cui Zuojing Standing up with Victor in his arms, the brows were a little tired, "Let's go, it's a bit too cold here, go back and have a good rest."

According to Cui Zuojing's plan, they will enter the next box after two days of rest, and earn enough points before the bloody night.But the plan often fails to keep up with the changes. When the news that the entrance of the random box [Maze of Time] suddenly appeared nearby reached Cui Zuojing's ears, he immediately decided to change his plan and enter this box.

"What is that?" Lin Hai asked before entering.

"You should have read the manual in the past two days. In addition to buying tickets with points in the trading market, it is also possible to get them directly in the box, but the possibility of this is very small, and the maze of time can A box that produces tickets." Cui Zuojing explained:

"If we can get the ticket inside, then we can go directly to the next area, and then we can awaken our abilities, saving us from spending a lot of time accumulating points in the box in the novice area."

The news came so suddenly that Dong Zheng didn't have time to make any special preparations, but in order to improve the survival rate of the two, Victor signed a contract with Linhai to become his summoned beast.With Cui Zuojing and Victor here, there should not be too many variables in this trip to the random box.

Hmm... Even though Victor is just a cat now and hasn't shown much fighting power, Dong Linhai's intuition tells him that this is definitely not an ordinary cat.

So on the evening of the third day, Dong Zheng and Dong Linhai left the house, went to the commercial center in this area, pushed open the door of a coffee shop, put a bag of coffee beans at the front desk as a fee, and walked through the unmanned storefront , opened the curtain and walked into the background of the work, and opened the refrigerator standing in the corner.

Inside the refrigerator is a strange world.

They went in.
