burn me

It was discovered that behind him was also a dense darkness extending, not reflecting a single ray of light.

She raised her finger and tried to flick a flame, but the light seemed to be completely absorbed by the darkness here--she was sure that she did ignite the flame, but she couldn't see any light at all.

bad situation.Cecilia kicked the ground under her feet with her toes a little irritably, but unexpectedly heard a faint sound of chains shaking and colliding.

Wait——, Cecilia knelt down and touched the floor of the stone stairs she had always thought to be, and finally confirmed her location.

She's on a bridge of chains.

Dots of light suddenly lit up from behind, climbing all the way up the handrails made of chains on the bridge, and then quickly passing through her hand and lighting up the entire bridge deck.

She went to the chain next to the armrest with light, and looked down.The bridge seems to be hanging high in the sky, but it is a little gratifying that it looks very strong, and there is no possibility of a sudden fall at present.

There was a sudden sound of 'crash clatter', and Cecilia shifted her eyes, which was trying to identify the height, and saw a very familiar figure rushing from the opposite side at high speed, passing through her door and continuing to run forward.

"Does it look familiar—" Although Cecilia could only see a blurry face under the high-speed running, she turned around and started running without hesitation.

"Isn't that the 13-year-old me—" Cecilia yelled in her heart.

"It's like watching a holographic movie." She ran wildly in her high heels while slandering inwardly, "...that's not right, just watching a movie doesn't require me to be so tired from running around."

The chain bridge ahead rattled and rattled.

Chapter 13

Thankfully, the run didn't last too long.

Cecilia stopped behind the 'leading self', crossed her hips and raised her eyes lazily.

That's great, I'm afraid I wasn't a high-performance light bulb when I was a child.Cecilia glanced at the child with its own light source under her eyelids, raised her hands and leisurely followed the child inside.

She really accidentally remembered where this was.

abyss. ——The place where Mu Ran was imprisoned.

Can't remember any more.

My luck was a bit unlucky, it seemed that I met a slightly more advanced nightmare beast.Cecilia thought quietly, and gradually quickened her pace.

She guessed what the end was.

——It doesn’t matter if you can’t guess, the front is bright.

Cecilia tilted her head and turned sideways to make way for the frantic children—even though she knew she wouldn't be in the way if she stood there.

Couldn't see her anyway.

A huge cross rose from the ground.Cecilia folded her arms, followed the rusty iron pillar to raise her eyes little by little, and smoothly saw Mu Ran who was bound and locked by chains and was hanging in mid-air.

The fluorescent light coiled around her was a bit dim, and even the edges of the transparent wings that she usually put away were stained with a faint burnt color.

She is being eaten by the darkness, and the darkness has spread to her cheeks.

Although Cecilia would like to describe this poignant scene more literaryly as a picture of an abyss fallen angel, to be honest, she was a little hungry after only consuming a plate of nuts all afternoon, so hungry that she wanted to describe this sad beauty For - a burnt cicada.

Cecilia sneered lowly, her eyes wrapped around the bronze necklace on the child's neck.

"Then, you will throw out a few magic circles, step on your feet, use your strength to jump onto the arm of the cross, kneel down on it, and reach out to caress Mu Ran's cheek."

"And then, you will hold your breath and try your best to break the chain that you didn't know what material it was made of at the time. In the end, it turns out that everything is in vain."

Cecilia whispered all the actions the child would make in a low voice as if admiring the drama, and the expression on her face became more and more indifferent.

"Finally, the necklace you got from your mother lit up."

"Under the combined influence of the abyss and the ore that made the necklace, you were forced to become a nightmare beast."

"It's so pitiful, your mother might be a nightmare beast born from the abyss."

"Furthermore, he might still be the king of nightmare beasts."

Cecilia watched Mu Ran who was on the cross slowly open her eyes, and said a word to the child in pain that made her unforgettable all her life.

"I knew it..." Low Ruo panted, but she heard it clearly.

ah.you know.

that's true.Aren't the elves all good at prophecy?

A child who accidentally rolled over and fell to the ground from a high place was covered with dust because of the rolling.She struggled to get up from the ground, lifted her sweaty hair and looked up, and saw the chain that she couldn't break no matter what, it was shattered into golden powder little by little in a holy light, and then, an intact figure waved Flying down from high places with wings.

Light and delicate, it landed firmly.

A pair of compassionate and proud golden eyes swept towards her, and then moved away immediately.

Young Cecilia quickly understood something.She looked at the figure of Mu Ran who folded his wings and walked away quickly, and felt that the act of retracting his wings, which she had always understood as 'close to the people', was extremely ironic.

You are the high and mighty Crown Prince—how could you know less than those elf elders on the school board.

It was me who was naive.The child desperately scratched at the stone slab under his hands until the nails on his hands were torn apart and dripping with blood.

You finally betrayed me.

No, maybe it was just never on my side.

Cecilia, who had been watching in the corner, saw the end of the show, glanced casually at the desperate child as if the sky had fallen, and walked out following Mu Ran's steps.

She remembered... Cecilia lowered her eyes and tapped her forehead with her index finger. After that, she seemed to take out the Er who she accidentally found in a secret room under the abyss.

It is indeed 'pick' that's right.Cecilia tilted her head and smiled softly.At that time, Xier was crying into a ball of quail in the dark, and she was carried out of a small black 'box' that could only accommodate one person squatting, out of breath.

How cute and cute she was at that time.It doesn't look like the Bund and the rejuvenation magic have failed now.Cecilia raised her hand to construct a small knife, and simply knelt down on one knee and stabbed it straight to the ground.

Accompanied by a subtle 'click' sound, the illusion instantly shattered into a mass of white sparks.

But——, Cecilia loosely held the knife stuck in one of the red eyes, lowered her head and looked at the black mist that had died of air under her and fell into thought.

Did that Mu Ran turn around and say something to her at that moment just now...

It seems to be - "Be careful of Muran."?

Chapter 14

A small 'dongdongdong' sound came from above, and Cecilia raised her head, and saw Elle walking down the stairs step by step, holding her skirt upright.

"Did you find anything?" Yi'er stopped on the lowest step of the stairs, with his right foot slightly back and his body leaning forward.

At first glance, it was an attacking gesture.

Cecilia let go of her hand with a half-smile to let the dagger dissipate automatically, stood up and patted the folds on the clothes, and walked towards her as if defenseless.

"It's nothing, it's just a nightmare beast with some special skills."

Cecilia's footsteps paused outside the edge of Yier's attack range, and when Yier's tense nerves were slightly relaxed, she suddenly jumped up and pinned her backhand to the ground without hesitation.However, her actions did not make any loud noises—their feet were covered with soft carpets that filled the hall.

Cecilia lowered her head and approached Er's cheek, and her light breath hit Er's cheek, with a trace of coolness that neither of them could detect.

"I thought I hadn't left the illusion just now." Yi'er's voice trembled a little, I don't know if it was because of shyness or sudden relaxation.She tilted her head uncomfortably, trying to avoid Cecilia's white hair hanging on her cheeks, but when she looked up, she saw that her blonde hair was closely intertwined with Cecilia's black hair, quite Difficulty meaning.

"...So can you let me go!"

Cecilia heard Er'er's questioning with a little embarrassment, and secretly pulled out a slightly nasty smile-the mood that was so bad because of some memories just now seems to have improved a lot.She straightened up slowly, raised her hand and took a few steps back, "I let go."

Feeling that the shackles were undone, Er returned to his former seriousness.She shook her hands and stood up, without turning her head, she said, "It seems that some parts of this town have been affected by the inexplicable nightmare beast."

"Obviously." Cecilia nodded perfunctorily, "Can't you worry about your good student?"

"She...should be fine,...you see," Yi'er hesitated for a moment, then lifted up his sleeves to show the light-colored spar tied with a red string on her wrist, which exudes a warm color in the dim light Fluorescence, "The light is still on, and she hasn't even encountered any danger."

"Is this the concentric stone?" Cecilia reached out her hand to touch it, but was touched by Yier who immediately put away the spar and put down his sleeves.She touched her nose, then retracted her hand as if nothing had happened, and a song sounded vaguely in her mind.

"One heart, one heart, half of one heart; one mind, one mind, two streams and one mind..."

The ballad does tell an old story.

According to legend, a goddess had to split herself in two to avoid disaster because of persecution.
