Chapter 88: Knight of the Abyss The Abyss is a wilderness of corpses and a graveyard of heroes...
Li Ming had a dream.
In his dream, he was walking in a pale wilderness. Strong winds and heavy snow were blowing in his face. He calmly looked at a corner of the wilderness and saw all kinds of tombstones.
"Is this your first time with these?"
His guide asked.
The guide was holding a lantern, the light flickering in the snow. Li Ming couldn't see the other person's face, but he could sense the curiosity in his words.
"I have only seen tombstones," he replied.
The guide couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He said with a smile, "You are more like a creature of the abyss than I am. A normal human would probably ask why after hearing this."
"You are human?" he asked in confusion.
The guide smiled and said, "I am not, but I do live more like a human being than many people."
"Come on, let me introduce this place to you."
The guide turned around, picked up his lantern, pointed it into the distance and said, "You will live here for a long time. If you are lucky, you may meet some survivors here."
"survivor?"
"Yes." The guide nodded to himself, "You will not only meet survivors of other civilizations here, witness the ruins of other civilizations, and come into contact with the disasters wandering in the abyss, but also witness the eternally silent and unchanging pale wilderness."
"The Abyss is a quiet, lonely afterlife."
The guide looked up and sighed: "Every grain of sand in the pale wilderness is the powder of corpses. Over billions of years, countless lives have died here, and countless epics have ended here."
"The abyss is a wilderness of corpses and a graveyard of heroes."
"It had no guardian in the past, but now—" The guide suddenly turned back and looked at Li Ming. In the depths of his eyes, he saw Li Ming's figure, but it was an abnormal, inhuman pale figure:
"You will be His knight."
Becoming a knight of the abyss? Isn't that becoming a derivative of the abyss?
Li Ming was surprised after hearing this.
Just when he was about to ask, he woke up. Li Ming looked at his hand hanging in the air and fell into a speechless trance. He seemed to have had an amazing dream.
A dream from long, long ago.
Li Ming sat up. He looked at his sister beside him. Li Yixi was still sleeping. She was curled up in a corner, covering her head with her coat. The sunlight could not reach the corner where she was.
Li Ming inexplicably felt a sense of security in his heart.
Although the current situation is still confusing, they still have each other. Li Ming stepped down from the hastily built bed, stretched his body and quietly pushed the door open.
The train was still running across the wilderness.
The breeze caressed his cheeks and the sun was warm. On the first day after they successfully left Blood Moon Castle, the two were fortunate to see the sky again.
Although Li Yixi was troubled by this.
[Derivative: Vampire]
[Disaster sequence: F-412 thirst for blood, F-413 fear of light, E-234 scent tracking]
[Note: The unconscious products awakened from the cemetery by the Queen, they follow the smell of blood and wander forever in the wilderness of the blood moon and outside the city walls.]
"hiss……"
When Li Ming glanced at the charred body at the rear of the train car, he suddenly gasped. He looked closely at the vampire's charcoal-grilled body and felt very strange.
Why can they be burned by the light even though they are dead?
Li Ming scratched his head in confusion. On the night they left Blood Moon Castle, they were chased by a large army of vampires. They were densely packed, trying to climb onto the train one after another, like a terrifying tide of corpses in a doomsday disaster movie.
And in this situation——
Li Ming held his sister's hand with difficulty and pulled her onto the train.
I won’t recall the specific details.
Li Ming felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it. But when Li Ming leaned on the railing of the train and enjoyed the hard-earned sunny weather, he felt unprecedented relaxation.
This was the first time he wasn't pulled into pure white space after sleeping.
Although Li Ming had a period of peace when he and Jiang Huai came to Lingcheng, it was very rare that he was not pulled into the pure white space after so many events happened last night.
If it was because of that strange dream, Li Ming hoped that he would have more dreams.
Some things...
He doesn't want to face it now.
"elder brother."
Li Yixi wore a hoodie and sunglasses, and huddled in his coat. He appeared outside the car as if he wanted to cover himself completely.
Li Ming blinked after reading it.
It was normal for his sister to be in such a state that no one knew what her face looked like. Li Ming sincerely thought: If Li Yixi appeared in front of him in this state, he would only think that she was a star who had escaped from somewhere.
"The sunlight is so dazzling." Li Yixi said swayingly, "I thought the journey would be smooth, but in the end I had to encounter something like this..."
She tugged at the corner of Li Ming's clothes with her fingertips tucked into her sleeves and said stubbornly, "Don't stay outside. The sunlight outside is too glaring."
Li Ming nodded helplessly.
To be honest, although vampires are not afraid of light, they really hate sunlight. It's just that there is no sun in the normal outside world, so this is difficult to discover.
"elder brother."
Back inside the carriage, Li Yixi pulled the curtains and turned to look at Li Ming seriously and said, "I suspect there is something wrong with the domain."
"Ah?" Li Ming blinked blankly.
“There is no sunny day during the Blood Moon and Silence. The only possibility for a sunny day is that a third realm is overlapped into this multiple realm.” Li Yixi explained seriously.
Li Ming was at a loss: "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
"For me, it's definitely a bad thing," Li Yixi stressed with a serious expression, "but for the whole, it's more uncertain. I just hope the rules of the 'Wall of Silence' haven't changed."
At the end of his words, Li Yixi couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Yes.
Li Ming realized belatedly that if the rules of the Wall of Silence changed, it would hinder their progress. But otherwise...
It’s not visible at the moment.
"Brother, where do you want to go?" Li Yixi suddenly asked.
Li Ming fell silent after hearing this. Before what happened last night, he wanted to go to many places, and he could go to many places, but after so many unexpected things happened...
"I want to go home, sister." Li Ming said softly.
Although his family has nothing, except his sister, he still wants to go home. Li Ming used to comfort himself: as long as his sister is there, they can build a new home somewhere else.
But when he finally found his sister...
He still wanted to go home.
Going home certainly can't solve many problems, but it can give him peace of mind.
Li Yixi stared at her brother's face quietly, then she suddenly laughed and said, "Brother, let's go home. I happened to have a lot of important things left at home, so we can pick them up on the way."
"Do you have anything important?" Li Ming looked up curiously.
"Some photos of me and my brother, and a lot of postcards I sent home." Li Yixi raised her finger and recalled, "And the rabbit doll my brother bought me when I was a child..."
"Eh..." Li Ming was surprised after hearing this.
Although Li Ming didn't think the things at home were important, when he heard what Li Yixi said, he suddenly felt that it would be better for him to go back.
"Shencheng has changed a lot, sister."
Li Ming couldn't help but smile and said, "You may not see the familiar urban area anymore."
When they left, they encountered a telepathic whale, who was from the Mermaid Reef in the S-level disaster area. If the existence of the S-level disaster area would change the topography of the city, could Shencheng still find their home now?
Everything is still unknown.
"But we can't not go, right?" Li Yixi asked with his head tilted.
"Of course not~"
Li Ming held up his chin with one hand and said with a smile: "After all, we still have Li Yixi's precious photos, postcards and rabbit dolls at home~"
"elder brother--"
Li Yixi's tone became more serious after hearing this. She put on a fake smile, rubbed her hand joints, and said gently, "Brother, come here, let me give you a big warm hug."
"Not even a dog would believe what you said." Li Ming complained expressionlessly.
The brother and sister suddenly smiled at each other. Both of them instantly regained their spirits. Just as Li Ming was about to lower his head and rub his eyes, he heard his sister's calm voice:
"Brother, we are about to reach the 'Wall of Silence'."
Li Ming stopped what he was doing immediately after hearing this. He replied briefly, "Yeah."
"We will be separated at that time, and remember to meet outside the wall." Li Yixi warned, "Don't go too far, and don't believe what you encounter inside the wall."
Li Ming couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Of course I know these things."
"See you then, Li Yixi."
At this moment, Li Ming, who said these words, finally felt like a brother. After his sister knew his talent sequence, she always worried about him.
But Li Ming didn't want this.
Li Yixi was stunned after hearing this. She opened her mouth to say something, but quickly closed her mouth and said with a helpless smile:
"See you then, brother."
The fog quickly engulfed the train. The gray haze spread from the cracks in the doors, the gaps in the windows, and the hollows in the joints of the train into the carriage, filling everything with the gray fog.
Li Ming looked at his sister, knowing that the gray fog covered her face like a veil, dividing the two of them.
Everything suddenly fell into darkness and silence.
And at the end of the darkness, he closed his eyes.
"Brother...Brother..." His sister called him softly, "Brother, are you asleep?"
Li Ming opened his eyes.
The sound of the waves rang in his ears, and the sand and gravel felt finely under his feet. He looked up at his side, and his sister with long black hair like crow feathers bent down curiously to look at him and said:
"I haven't seen my brother so relaxed in a long time."
"younger sister?"
Li Ming whispered the other person's name to himself, then he covered his eyes with one hand and sighed softly: "I seem to have had a very long dream."
"Hmm?" My sister tilted her head after hearing this.
She reached out and helped her brother who was sleeping on the beach, and said gently: "It must be a beautiful dream to be remembered by my brother, right?"
Li Ming shook his head.
Through the rippling waves, he saw the figures of himself and his sister. He with white hair and white eyes and his sister with black hair and black eyes were wearing the same white coat, standing side by side on the same beach.
"That's really strange."
The younger sister murmured in surprise after hearing this. She pulled Li Ming forward and whispered, "It should be obvious that your brother's humanity is not enough to support your dream."
"Um?"
This time it was Li Ming's turn to feel strange. Li Ming asked in surprise: "Why do you say that?"
"I am your only anchor point."
His playful sister turned around confidently, put her hands on her hips and said to Li Ming: "My existence is not enough to make my brother realize the difference between himself and other existences."
Li Ming became even more confused.
"Brother, my brother..."
His sister recited softly, her tone as beautiful as reciting poetry. Her eyes reflected Li Ming's figure clearly, and she asked softly with a sad tone: "Can you tell me, brother?"
"The day you refused to make me into a derivative of yourself—"
"what's on your mind?"
