If there is one word to describe Lost Lands, it would be tsundere.

The Lost Land is empty and boundless, with only a huge pillar of light as a reference. People who want to get out can neither walk towards the pillar of light nor walk with their backs to it. They can only put the pillar of light on their left or right hand side and walk around it... What a proud and arrogant forbidden area. Most people think about moving forward or backward, so who would be bored to walk around the pillar of light? Therefore, most creatures that accidentally enter the Lost Land die on the way, and only Louis, the immortal undead lich, survives and finds a way out to harm the front of the continent.

Du Ze and Xiu walked around the light column for a month according to the method recorded in the magic notebook. After leaving the range of the abandoned temple, they could not use magic, so they could only walk route 11 honestly. This kind of days of moving forward and forward again made Du Ze feel as if he had returned to the first time of the time travel. At that time, he would never have thought that he had traveled to the world of "Mixed Blood" and met the protagonist.

...and then I was beaten to a pulp, haha.

Du Ze's eyes involuntarily turned to Xiu beside him. Xiu's long and curly black hair was tied up and draped over his shoulders, revealing a pale and gloomy face. His whole body was only black and white, the white was too white, and the black was too black, which made people feel scared and unreal from the bottom of their hearts. Xiu walked beside Du Ze, neither too far ahead nor too far behind, perfectly keeping the same pace with Du Ze. When Du Ze stopped to rest because he was tired, Xiu would also stop and wait silently beside him.

Du Ze was instantly moved - at a time when the protagonist had turned so evil, this rare thoughtfulness was like a divine light to him. Even if someone told him that the protagonist was following him closely in order not to expose his back to him and to prevent the useful test subject from escaping, he would still...

Du Ze was silent. Why is it that once the protagonist's behavior is interpreted in a darker way, he always seems to get the truth?

Xiu suddenly stopped. This was the first time that the tireless Undead Lich had stopped on his own initiative in the past few days. Du Ze was stunned for a while, and then he realized that they had reached the light column without realizing it. The light column was still out of reach the moment before, and the next moment a huge wall of light that went straight into the sky appeared in front of them.

According to Louis's magic notebook, the exit to the Lost Land is within the light column. If you look closely, you will find that the light wall is composed of countless rising light points. Those not dazzling light points gather together densely, blocking the situation inside the light wall. The reader who knows the plot walks forward without pressure, trying to pass through the light wall - he knows there is no danger inside, and then he is pinched by the neck by the protagonist who does not know the truth and pulled back.

…I am really from the Primates, Hominidae, and Homo genus, not the Carnivora, Felidae, and Felis genus!

Du Ze pressed his earphone expressionlessly and said to Xiu: "...There is no danger."

Xiu stared at Du Ze silently, his slanted brows naturally tinged his expression with a hint of gloom and scrutiny. Du Ze stared at him with a stiff face, and began to have a seizure again. Du Ze had been frustrated and depressed about his stubborn temper countless times. He thought that if a normal person came here instead of him, he would have used his powerful spoiler function to blend in with the protagonist, right?

——Aze is just an idiot, he always likes to smile foolishly and what he says makes people laugh to death.

His hands felt cold, and Du Ze came to his senses and found that Xiu had let go of his neck and reached out to grab his left arm. Because of Xiu's action, the doujinshi Du Ze had tucked under his left armpit almost fell down. Du Ze immediately let go of his headphones to catch it, and the unlucky reader was frightened and broke into a cold sweat: if one of the protagonists in the doujinshi saw his hot and passionate performance in the doujinshi...

System: Your teammate [Doujinshi] was hit by an angry attack and [Doujinshi] was killed.

System: You have been hit by a critical hit and you are dead.

...So cruel.

Xiu glanced at the doujinshi with his dull eyes, and Du Ze reflexively hid the doujinshi under his right armpit like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and rushed towards the light wall as if to cover up. Even Xiu had no time to react to the ferocious force, and was brought into the light column unexpectedly.

The moment he entered the beam of light, his vision was extremely bright, and then it suddenly went dark. It only took a moment for him to go from extremely bright to extremely dark, and his consciousness was interrupted at that moment. When Du Ze came to his senses, he found himself standing in the middle of a corridor. The long corridor had no end in sight. It was a closed space, and the four sides of the corridor were covered with murals. Du Ze stood alone in the middle of the corridor, and Xiu disappeared.

Du Ze was a little surprised. This scene was recorded in "Mixed Blood": the corridor he was standing in was called "Time Corridor". Time Corridor is a place where you can see the past and the future. Creatures that pass through the light column have a certain probability of entering Time Corridor. Du Ze did not expect that he, who did not belong to this world, could enter this legendary place. In "Mixed Blood", Xiu, who has the halo of the protagonist, naturally entered the Time Corridor, and then saw the past that was closely related to him - his life experience. In addition, the protagonist did one thing in the Time Corridor. He left his life box in the Time Corridor. In the setting of "Mixed Blood", the Time Corridor is unique. Any creature can only enter it once in his life, and can only enter "his own" Time Corridor - this is the best place in the world to hide things, no one else. From then on, as long as the protagonist is in the form of a ghost, no one can kill him. Those hostile people searched the entire continent but couldn't find the protagonist's life box. They could only watch helplessly as the protagonist went against society, against all living things, and against the continent, spitting blood.

Du Ze began to look at the murals in the Time Corridor with great interest. The protagonist saw his identity here, so what would he see here? His life? When I thought about the appearance of computers on the murals in the other world... it was a little bit exciting. ＿（：з」∠）＿

Du Ze's moral integrity has been lost.

Moving forward is the future, moving backward is the past. Du Ze walked forward without hesitation.

The murals in the time corridor unfolded one after another like a unit play. The first mural showed a group of creatures queuing to buy train tickets... Du Ze silently stopped complaining and began to observe carefully. The murals were not abstract, so Du Ze quickly understood what the murals expressed: a glowing person stood at the top, with many light balls around him, and various races lined up below. The celestial race at the head stood in front of the glowing person and reached out to take a light ball.

Du Ze didn't realize it was amazing, so he went to look at the second mural. It was a group of birdmen fighting... Ahem, it was a group of demons and celestials fighting fiercely. After comparing the number of people, the demons seemed to have the upper hand. Then the third mural came next. It was divided into two halves, the lower half was the bloody demons, the upper half was the equally ferocious celestials, and there were also the newly joined elves. This group of beautiful creatures with pointed ears was the largest in number in the second mural. When Du Ze saw this, he didn't know why he had a sense of déjà vu. He fell into the embarrassing situation of being about to remember something but always being just one step away. The cute Du Ze once again decided to put this feeling behind him and continued to read.

The fourth mural was a large battlefield that had just ended. The elves were suppressed into a corner of the mural. Across from them, skeletons and zombies climbed out of the battlefield and staggered towards them. The fifth mural was full of a sense of modern dislocation. There were machines everywhere on the mural. Du Ze looked carefully and saw that there were some dwarves sitting on the huge mechanical puppets. They were dwarves, and they were commanding the metal puppets to drive away all the undead.

When seeing this, Du Ze finally reacted: This is exactly the world view of "Mixed Blood"!

In the historical setting of "Mixed Blood", the Chaos Continent has gone through seven eras. The first era was a war between the Celestials and the Demons. The war was ongoing, and the Demons, whose talent was "destruction", gradually began to gain the upper hand. In the end, the Elves joined the war, formed an alliance with the Celestials, and drove the Demons to the back of the continent. Although the Celestials won, they were also in a state of mutual destruction, so the Elven tribe began to rise, this was the Second Age; followed by the Third Age, because of that long and protracted war, many creatures died, and those dead powerful souls turned into undead, the Undead began to grow stronger, the elves could not resist the undead's human wave tactics, retreated to the forest and began to close the country; then came the Fourth Age, which is the mural in front of Du Ze: For the undead who can transform other creatures into companions, the dwarfs' metal puppets are their biggest nemesis. The dwarves eliminated the undead and established a huge mechanical empire. Then one day, the dwarves suddenly disappeared, and the once prosperous mechanical civilization declined, and the Fourth Age ended. Next, the dragons became the masters of the Fifth Age. However, one day, the dragons suddenly retreated to Dragon Island and were rarely seen on the Chaos Continent. At this time, the beastmen began to grow strong. This was the Sixth Age. Now it is the Seventh Age. Judging from previous history, each era means the rise and fall of a race, and the protagonist of the Seventh Age is the human race: the human race drove the beastmen to the wilderness and established three empires. The protagonist was born in a small town in the Empire of Light.

Du Ze walked down without stopping. Sure enough, the sixth mural depicted several huge Western dragons standing on the top of a steel tower, spreading their wings that covered the sky and roaring at the sky; the main subjects of the seventh mural were orcs in various forms, and the dragons could only be glimpsed as a shadow in a corner of the sky; the orcs in the eighth painting were fleeing into the distance, and the humans all over the mountains raised their swords and shields and cheered.

Looking at these murals, Du Ze realized: Because he is not from this world, the Time Corridor decided to teach him about the history of this world? Foolish mortals! Too much underestimated the brain-dead fans! Will he say that he has memorized the history of "Mixed Blood" better than his own birthday information! As for the first mural, Du Ze also guessed: Isn't that the copywriting of "Mixed Blood"! The deal between the God of Creation and the eight races... Wait, that guy is the God of Creation?

Du Ze turned around and walked back - he didn't see the appearance of the "Mixed-Blood" boss clearly just now, which was unforgivable.

However, Du Ze turned around and found that the road behind him had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a black void, as if he would fall to the other side of the world if he stepped on it. Du Ze was heartbroken because he had no chance to see the God of Creation, and could only choose to turn around and continue walking forward: The face of the God of Creation is not something you can see just because you want to. When I finally realized what was happening, tears fell from my eyes...

In fact, Du Ze was also very curious about what the next mural would be like (in the future). In "Mixed Blood", he traveled through time after seeing the protagonist lead the demons to attack the celestials. At that time, the subtitle of "Mixed Blood" was still "The Rise of the Human Race", and according to the author, it was about to enter the next century... I really want to see it, I really want to see it, how can I repair it! Du Ze wanted to climb the wall. If there was one thing that made him most sad about traveling through the world of "Mixed Blood", it was that he couldn't see any updates!

After accidentally glancing at the doujinshi in his hand that he was begging for a sense of existence and begging to be opened and read, the wounded Du Ze silently swallowed the blood in his throat: Why, the one who traveled through time with me, it was you, Xiaotong?

The doujinshi said that this is absolutely true love (er).

Under Du Ze's sad gaze, the ninth mural finally appeared before him.

*****

*****

When he entered the beam of light, his eyes first lit up, then darkened in an instant. When Xiu regained consciousness, he found that he was standing in a corridor that seemed to have no end. Xiu was shocked, as Louis's magic notebook did not mention such a situation. The entire corridor was empty, and his life was not by his side. There was no response when he used the contract to call.

Where is this?

——Time and Space Corridor——

There seemed to be a voice answering from somewhere.

Xiu pressed his head. Just now, a certain will suddenly squeezed into his brain. That existence was too strong, and Xiu could only let that will invade his soul, leaving behind a consciousness. Then Xiu knew what the Time Corridor was - a place where you can see time and can only enter once in a lifetime.

Moving forward is the future, moving backward is the past. Xiu hesitated for a moment, then walked backward without looking back.

He wanted to know who he was and why he became like this. As far as he could remember, he was an orphan and no one could tell him his origins.

Soon, the first mural appeared in front of Xiu. It showed a woman wearing a hood and whose face could not be seen clearly, bending over to put a baby at the door of a house; in the distance, there was a man wearing a hood with his back to this side, seemingly on guard, his hand on the hilt of a sword, and the cross-shaped scars on the back of his hand were extremely clear.

Xiu was frozen in front of the painting for a long time. He recognized the house in the painting. It was the orphanage where he grew up. He only left there after he was admitted to the Magic and Martial Arts School. Therefore, the two people in the painting... were his parents?

Xiu involuntarily took a step forward. As he got closer, he realized that the two people in the painting were covered in dust. Even though the cloak covered most of their faces, he could still see the tear marks on the woman's face and a silver pattern that looked like a birthmark. Xiu involuntarily reached out his hand, wanting to open the cloak to see their appearance clearly. When his fingertips touched the cold stone wall, he realized that what he saw was just a mural, just... the past.

Xiu took a final deep look at the person in the painting, turned around and walked away without hesitation.

The second mural is twice as long as the first one, and it is divided into two halves: the right side depicts a magnificent house, a half-elf with silver scales on his face sitting on a bed, looking at the baby in his arms with pity, and next to him stands a tall man, his face cannot be seen because his back is to the picture, but his two alien wings are displayed without reservation - one is the bat wings of the demon clan, and the other is the feather wings of the sky clan; the left side is on the prairie, a female orc with cat ears is pressing a pale dwarf against her plump chest, the dwarf is holding a baby in a panic, afraid that the baby will be shaken out of his hands, they are sitting on the prairie, full of happiness.

Xiu stared straight at the two babies in the painting: the baby on the right was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, and the silver lines at the corners of his eyes were very familiar; the baby on the left was waving his hands in the air, and there was a cross scar on the back of one of his hands.

For the first time, Xiu felt like he was suffocating, and a very scary guess formed in his mind. He walked forward quickly as if he was being chased by something, and then he saw the third mural.

The third mural also depicts several pairs of men and women holding babies. It is twice as long as the first one and is divided into four sections: the first section is of demons and celestials, with babies curled up in their hands and flapping their alien wings; the second section is of elves and dragons, with babies lying on the dragon's back with the silver scales on their faces shining; the third section is of beasts and humans, with the baby rubbing the woman's face with its tiny cat ears shaking; the last section has only two creatures, and they seem to be performing a ritual, with a dwarf lying in the center of the magic circle, and an undead lich standing next to him, holding a magic notebook and seeming to be recording something.

Xiu stared at the magic notebook in the hand of the lich on the mural. He took out Qianbian and found that his fingers were shaking. Qianbian quickly turned into Louis's magic notebook. Xiu looked at the two magic notebooks and saw that they were exactly the same. He lowered his head and trembled uncontrollably.

What on earth is he?
