After Ash entered the ruins, for a moment he thought he had returned to his own spiritual world - that vast, quiet, dark space where bright lights flashed like shooting stars.
He was stunned for only a second before he reacted.
This is not his spiritual world, it's just that the scenery looks very similar.
He was standing in the air and did not see the figures of Meng and Jian coming in from the front.
Were you distracted by this space after you came in?
Just as he was thinking this, the space around him fluctuated and Sigourney appeared before his eyes.
"Sigourney?" Ash took a closer look at the person next to him, then nodded affirmatively, "Sigourney." It was definitely her.
Sigourney quickly took in the surroundings and frowned, "Where are Meng and Jane?"
"They were gone when I came in," Ash said.
Sigourney clicked her tongue, trouble.
If they were teleported separately, why were he and Ash teleported together again?
Is it based on luck?
Now that they were separated, looking at the vast space in front of them, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the two people who had separated. After thinking this through, Sigourney simply thought about how to leave this strange space.
"What did you see when you came in just now?" he asked Ash.
Ash knew that Sigourney was collecting clues, so he confessed, "I saw Sigourney dancing—that time in Duogu Village."
Sigourney: “…” So you laughed because you saw this scene?
Ash asked him curiously, "Where's Sigourney? What did she see?"
Sigourney looked away uncomfortably: "Nothing."
Ash blinked and smiled secretly, as if he had understood something: "Sigourney must have seen me too." He was very sure.
Sigourney had a blank expression on her face. She reached out to pull Ash's cheek and said, "Let me see how shameless you are."
Ash smiled and tried to hide. At this moment, the space around him rippled and a gentle and elegant female voice was heard: "Hello, astrologer and her vampire boyfriend. Welcome to my laboratory. I am astrologer Dailan. The one talking to you now is the alchemical life I created with half of my soul. You can call me Lan."
Her tone was cordial and friendly, but not enough for Sigourney and Ash to let down their guard and trust her directly.
Ash glanced at Sigourney and realized that it was indeed the remains of Dailan.
Sigourney gave up pinching his face and, unusually, turned her attention to another strange point - how did Lan know that his relationship with Ash was...
Lan didn't keep Sigourney waiting for long, and immediately revealed the answer: "The Door of Reflection will project the people, things, and objects that a person cares about most. The astrologer saw the vampire, and the vampire also saw the astrologer. There are no lies in the inner world. The Door of Reflection opens the heart and the truth."
Ash turned his head to look at Sigourney, his light blue eyes filled with a smile.
Sigourney, who was exposed again, said: "..."
Are all alchemical beings so ignorant of the atmosphere? Selvi from the third wizard tower was one, and now there is another one?
The vampire was cold as ice, he hated alchemical life very much!
The alchemical life that doesn't know how to read the atmosphere continues: "Only those who love each other can enter this starry sky of the laboratory. For so many years, I have only waited for you."
Therefore, the Undead Lord cannot enter, it was blocked at the Gate of Reflection. Because it does not care about people or things, its desire for flesh and power is cold greed, not care. It does not have such emotions, so it cannot enter.
So Meng and Jian entered the ruins, but could not reach here because they were both single and without a partner.
Ash's eyes grew brighter.
Sigourney let out a low sound of disgust...if she hadn't noticed his eyes softening for a moment.
Lan said: "I know why you are here. The answer is at the end of this starry sky."
As she spoke, beams of light gathered and condensed in the dark space, turning into an endless staircase that stretched from the feet of Ash and Sigourney all the way to the distant other side.
There was a smile in her voice: "Go ahead. As long as you love each other, the road to witnessing will be smooth for you."
Sigourney: “…”
So, how many times should we emphasize loving each other?
Ash suppressed a laugh, "Shall we go?"
Sigourney exuded an aura of "unhappiness" all over her body. She took the lead and stepped on the first step in front of her.
This is really troublesome, just get out of here quickly!
...There was no worry at all that there was a possibility that he and Ash wouldn't make it through.
But after standing on the first step, he did not immediately go to the next step, nor did he increase his speed and run down one after another. He froze for a moment, then stood still, and turned his head to look at Ash expressionlessly: "Come up."
Ash planned to run behind Sigourney. With the two of them running one in front and one behind, they would have more room to maneuver if anything happened.
But since Sigourney asked...
Ash walked up the steps, his expression also stunned, and then he curved the corners of his lips strangely, as if he wanted to laugh but was trying hard to hold it back.
——When he walked up the stairs, he naturally knew a message, or "heard" a task on the spiritual level: "Please hold hands with your partner." Only by holding hands can they step onto the next step, otherwise the witness road will collapse instantly, and the two of them will be teleported out of the ruins.
Ash was shocked. Are all the ruins so great? Should he explore more ruins with Sigourney in the future?
Sigourney grabbed Ash's hand and pulled him up to the second step with an expressionless face.
Here comes the task again: "Please compliment your partner from the bottom of your heart and tell him/her one thing you like about him/her."
Ash didn't hesitate: "Gentle!"
Sigourney: “…”
Wait, what's the name of this road?
The road to witness?
Damn it! It's the same stuff as the Gate of Reflection!
He continued expressionlessly: "Gentle."
Step onto the third step - "Please tell me one more advantage."
Ash: "Kindness!"
Signe: "...kindness."
Step onto the third step—"One more."
Ash: "Thoughtful!"
Sigourney: "...considerate."
Stepping onto the fourth step - "Please continue."
Ash glanced at Sigourney who kept repeating his answer, a sly look in his eyes: "Beautiful!"
Sigourney: “…………warmth.”
But looking at the seemingly endless stairs ahead, even though the warm Ash was right beside her, Sigourney could only feel a shaky coldness and despair - after only four steps, she was almost exhausted by the despair.
