The sky of the abyss is a chaotic gray, with no distinction between day and night, and no sun, stars or moon.
Ash stood on the hard ground, waiting with Sigourney and the others for the "time when the stars shine brightest" as the Undead Lord had said. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and raised his head: "We're here."
Following his voice, countless bands of light fell from the empty flat ground in front of them in the blink of an eye, just like the most dreamy aurora in the north, spreading out like the waves of a gorgeous skirt. The silvery and bright light shone brightly in the monotonous and silent abyss, full of vitality and liveliness.
In just a few breaths, the light bands intertwined and extended, and soon formed a translucent door in front of the people.
The door is tall, and the complex inscriptions are beautifully arranged to form elegant patterns. The delicate and exquisite style makes people unable to help but think that it was made by an elegant woman.
"This is it!" The Undead Lord screamed in Sigourney's hands, "Look, this is the entrance to the ruins, I didn't lie to you, please let me go!"
The scream was really piercing.
Sigourney pressed a finger against the white ball, and the white ball trembled and immediately fell silent.
"How do I get in?" he asked.
Bai Tuanzi froze in his palm for a moment, then whispered, "No, I don't know."
Seeing that the Five Finger Mountain was about to fall again, the white ball screamed again as if it was in a state of collapse: "I really don't know! I have never been in there! I can't get in!" Its strong desire to survive made it speak very fast, "If I could get in, why would I need to cooperate with you humans!"
Sigourney looked down at it expressionlessly: "If you have never been in there, how do you know that this is a powerful relic that can give people everything they want?"
Bai Tuanzi hesitated: "How, how did you know? ... I, I don't know either."
It was either pretending or really confused. It stood there motionless, as if trying to recall. After a long while, it rolled in Sigourney's palm as if giving up, looking discouraged: "I can't remember."
No one can perform so well in front of Sigourney.
"It really doesn't know." Ash observed from the side and came to the conclusion.
What use do I have for you? Sigourney pinched the white ball with disdain and threw it to Meng.
Meng: “…” Why give it to him?
"Too noisy." Sigourney disliked the white ball's occasional screams.
Meng silently accepted Sigourney's reason.
The Undead Lord only led them to the entrance of the ruins, but he knew nothing else. Even so, Signe and Meng Du tacitly decided to keep it alive for the time being - what if it was somehow related to the ruins? If they wanted to kill it, it would not be too late after they finished exploring the ruins.
Meng, who had many years of experience walking in the wild, took out a small cage and locked the white ball in it to prevent it from escaping. Then he, Sigourney and Ash carefully studied the door in front of them.
Since it only opens when the starlight is at its brightest, there must be a time limit for its appearance.
They have to find a way to get in before the door disappears.
"Uncle Meng, doesn't the information Rachel left behind mention how to get in?" Ash asked.
Rachel should have successfully entered at the beginning, but she had been wandering around the periphery and failed to enter the inner layer of the ruins.
Meng shook his head: "No."
"Here." Sigourney stood in front of the door and raised her finger to point at a pattern made of inscriptions in the middle. "Does it look like two palms?"
Meng and Ash came closer, squinting their eyes, trying to see through the patterns on the surface to the dark patterns hidden inside -
"picture!"
Meng laughed: "Does it mean that we should put our hands on it and push the door open to enter?"
Sigourney: “Hmm…”
Ash: "...I think so?" He paused, trying to communicate with the star tracks in the spiritual world. After a while, he nodded mysteriously, "There's no danger."
Jian, who had been silent all the time, also came over. He looked up at the door. Is this a relic? It seems to be a relic that Scarlet Moon and the others know about?
"Let me give it a try?" He suddenly asked, "I'll help you explore the way."
He wanted to enter the ruins.
Ancient ruins are full of dangers, but also opportunities.
He didn't want to miss any opportunity to make himself stronger.
Ash and the other two easily understood his thoughts.
He feared they would forbid him from entering the ruins, so he proposed a deal where he would take on the risk of exploration in exchange for the chance to enter.
Sigourney sneered: "Transaction? Have you forgotten your current identity?"
Jane was stunned...he had kind of forgotten.
He now had a master, and he had to do whatever his master ordered him to do, even if it meant committing suicide.
Even if he didn't want to, he had to go if his master asked him to explore the way.
His master had such a low presence and hardly ever gave any orders, that he almost forgot about his situation, which was that he had no freedom or dignity.
Jane looked at Sigourney with cold eyes: "I know."
Sigourney said lazily, "Now that you know, let's go explore the way."
simple:"……"
At this point, after knowing that Sigourney was a wandering spirit, even though Sigourney herself still had an ambiguous stance, some of his views on Sigourney, which had slightly changed, were immediately cleared and returned to the initial impression value, with no extra points left.
Meng looked at Jane, then at Sigourney… Sigourney’s method of attracting hatred has been so good for so many years.
However, seeing that Jane was finally no longer distracted by her identity as a wandering soul, Meng also breathed a sigh of relief.
You have to concentrate when exploring the way, otherwise it would be a pity to get injured or lose your life in vain because of something you shouldn't have done wrong.
Jane walked to the door, raised her hands and pressed them on the handprint on the door.
His expression became particularly strange for a moment, at least out of all the times Ash had seen him, this was the first time he had such a soft and gentle expression, which was not in line with the temperament of the Pseudo-Scarlet.
Then, his figure turned into light, merged with the door, and quickly disappeared.
Meng: "In?"
Ash: "Yeah, in."
As I said just now, there is no danger.
Meng glanced at Sigourney and said, "We don't need anyone to explore the way."
Sigourney said firmly: "Yes."
Meng had an expression that said, "If you say I need it, then I need it." "That's perfect. Jane looked like she wanted to go in just now."
Ash curled up the corners of his lips quietly. So, the two identities of Scarlet Moon and Mr. Wandering Soul were combined into one, and there was nothing wrong with that.
The Undead Lord trapped in the small cage finally came to his senses from the shock and said in dismay: "So simple? Just push the door to get in? I pushed it before, why can't I get in?"
Who cares about you.
Meng took a step forward: "I'll go over first."
As a wizard who mainly deals with the earth element, his strength has been severely reduced while staying in the abyss, and he feels very uncomfortable in all aspects. He hopes that he will feel better in the ruins.
When he pushed the door open, he was also stunned for a moment, his expression full of enthusiasm and excitement, just like the expression he had when he saw the library full of ancient documents in Rachel's wizard tower.
Then it disappeared in the same way.
Sigourney raised her chin towards Ash, intending to watch him go in.
Ash nodded, walked over and placed his hands on it.
He was very curious about what Jane and Meng experienced at that moment, and when it was his turn, he became extremely alert.
Then he saw a high stage where extremely beautiful vampires were dancing gracefully, their waists swaying as if they were walking on moonlight and starlight.
The fleeting scene stretched infinitely before his eyes, and he seemed to be back in the celebration night of Duogu Village again, receiving the most wonderful gift in sixteen years.
Sigourney, who was standing by, looked at him with an extremely happy and joyful smile, and the two shallow dimples on her cheeks seemed to be filled with the sweetest honey.
Then, it disappeared from sight.
He appeared in front of the door almost immediately and put his hand on it.
After a moment, there was no one left on the plain.
The dazzling silver-white door also quietly dissipated and disappeared without a trace.
