The Spirit World

Chapter 993 Shadow Pendant (Twenty-nine)
[The defect of "devouring" memory manifests as "correction" of personality]

On the east side of the Immortal Hall, the patrol team was looking at the fleeting sky in confusion. The blindfolded horses seemed to be frightened for a moment and suddenly turned in circles on the spot, and had to be pulled hard.

The animals that had not seen the light for a long time began to scream wildly around them. Even the plants that could no longer see the sun suddenly turned from withering in the damp and hot weather to rebirth - their broken new shoots leaned towards the southeast, the direction where the light gathered and dispersed.

"Something's going to happen..." Sinokos pulled the horse's head hard and turned the direction. The brown saddle swayed and the sword at his waist quickly appeared and disappeared along with the glowing crystal.

"Hey! Commander Sinoquos!" The deputy captain of the patrol team reached out to stop him, but was jumped over by Sinoquos. He looked at Sinoquos's speeding figure, turned around and winked at the team, and everyone whipped their whips and followed him.

The horses trampled the plants that were struggling to survive in the dark night. As patrol officers, they were not allowed to gallop wildly because it would attract the attention of nearby werewolves. Of course, this was not the werewolves' business.

It was obvious that there might be more difficult enemies in the Undead Hall headquarters now. The deeper this premonition became, the gloomier the faces of the Undead Hall patrol members became.

"What's wrong?! Commander Sinoquos?!"

The deputy captain yelled loudly behind Sinoquos.

"whispering sound……"

The werewolves... have they already taken action...

Sinoquos gritted his teeth, turned his head and shouted sternly: "Hurry up and follow! If you don't want to be punished by military law, then hurry up and follow!"

A dishonest fellow...

Sinokos could only gallop but was unable to do anything, which made him feel extremely terribly itchy in his heart. It was not a kind of fear, but the torment between the lie being exposed and not being exposed.

He and the werewolves agreed that when General Bonnabo's power was weak, they would open the city gate with the weakest defense in exchange for [their respective treasures] in the city, thereby earning the difference in profit. Once the werewolves "suddenly" broke their promise and wanted to earn more, the delicate balance he was in would be broken.

What awaits him is the infamy of being a traitor and endless torture from [Adjutant Neferi].

But he didn't know that this beam of light that pierced the night like a spear came from a traveler, and the traveler's purpose was obviously not to kill him.

When he quickly rushed to the city gate tower, the only outer city defense fortification of the Immortal Hall had been quietly completed.

The archers and the only magician stood on the city wall, relying on the brilliance of the glowing crystals to stare at the approaching target, while the commander of the city, Nolav, placed his warhorse across the city gate, looking at everything around him with a little nervousness.

Under the numerous arrows, Sinokus stopped his horse in a hurry and turned his horse horizontally, and the arrows also turned with his rotation.

"It's me! Sinoquos!"

Sinoquas shouted loudly: "Captain of the Third Patrol Team of the Immortal Hall, Sino Joe! This is my patrol token!"

He recognized Norav, and Norav naturally recognized him.

However, the monsters in the forest that transform into humans are never that easy to identify.

The third patrol team following Sinoquos also quickly caught up with Sinoquos. They took off the glowing crystals on their armor one by one, and the armors of different styles on their bodies were completely exposed to the light.

Like Sinoquos, they took out their tokens and illuminated them in unison with glowing crystals.

This was the only way to prove their identity, and after that they would be allowed to enter the city. However, it was obvious that what was waiting for them was not an open city gate, but sharp bows and arrows.

"Is the patrol over? Sinoquos?!" Norav looked at Sinoquos suspiciously.

"Norav! Open the door!"

Sinokos didn't care about Norav's question, but shouted: "Can you take responsibility for delaying important matters?!"

"Adjutant Nefrey said that no one will be allowed to pass!" Nolav snorted, mounted his horse, grasped the reins in his hand, and let the high-spirited black horse face Sinoquos.

"I'm sorry, sir, Sinoquos. There's no way we're going to let you into the city."

Norav put his shoulders over the horse and looked helpless, but at Sinoquos with a playful look.

"I'm so sorry~ Commander Sinokos, Adjutant Neferi said you're a traitor... so we can't let you enter the city~"

Norav looked at Sinoquos jokingly. His handsomeness matched the armor very well, making him look more like a traitor.

“You don’t know, do you? Adjutant Nefrey has seen through you a long time ago… Asking you to go on patrol… probably means you die in the wilderness, right?! Huh? Hahahahaha——”

Norav stopped laughing, and he pulled the reins fiercely to make the horse stand across the city gate again, while Sinokos' followers gritted their teeth and turned their horses sideways, because they were also abandoned by Adjutant Neferei.

"Don't you understand yet? The prophecy is about to come true. When that light penetrates the sky, everyone will face the end."

Norav's voice turned cold, and he gripped the reins timidly.

The horse seemed to understand his words and trembled unconsciously.

"Adjutant Neferi, you really don't love anyone..."

Norav turned his horse around and shouted at the soldiers on the city wall. Then he slowly turned his head to look at Sinoquos who was stunned on the spot. It seemed that he came here on purpose to tell Sinoquos these words.

As the city gate rose higher, Sinoquos lost his sight. He came to his senses and whipped his horse, shouting, "If you don't want to die, follow me!"

After saying this, Sinoquos' horse raised dust and galloped in the direction from which he had just returned. All his followers looked at each other, and looking at the sharp arrows on the city wall, they could only grit their teeth and follow.

"【The city gates are closed, the enemy is on the march.】"

Sinoquos looked at the light and fire in front of him that was sometimes far away and sometimes near, as if he was looking into the abyss, lighting up all the members of his team around the horse's hooves.

"But, at this moment..."

"Master Sinoquos...how..."

The adjutant swallowed his saliva, lacking confidence, and his hands holding the reins seemed to tremble.

"The Age of Destruction... is also about to end..." Sinoquos sighed to the sky and put a dagger into the side of his iron boot, looking like a dying man with a painful expression.

"It's finally over..."

There is no moon in the dark night, and there is no sun in the Age of Destruction. Even if you run wildly in the dark, you cannot escape the fear of death... right?

"Mr. Chang Yufeng..."

She lowered her head and walked behind Chang Yufeng. Although she was unwilling to admit it, Chang Yufeng was not someone she could chat with or even actively contact.

"Hahaha... You talk so much... Little girl..." Artanis shone on Chang Yufeng's chest, answering her words from time to time. The light it emitted was ten times brighter than that of the luminous crystal, dispelling the darkness around.

If Artanis so desired, it could continue to illuminate the entire sky, including the world.

"I...I..." She was timid and embarrassed, and put her hands on her skirt. In the dark night, the glowing butterflies lingered and fled behind her.

"Artanis, be quiet."

Chang Yufeng quietly conveyed this sentence to Artanis, and Artanis just fell silent again.

"Um... I just wanted to say..."

The way she wanted to get her words out made her look even more anxious.

"No... let's forget it..."

She stopped her actions again and said no more words, but just followed more closely, moving to the side of Chang Yufeng and placing herself in a darker corner.

[Children who rely on others for protection will never grow up——]

A sheep's hoof climbed onto Chang Yufeng's shoulder, and she was startled by the clean sheep. But she didn't scream out loud, after all, she had been surprised countless times around Chang Yufeng.

Although no amount of words could convey Chang Yufeng's feelings, everything became no longer ordinary and had an unusual meaning.

Her gaze followed the lamb as it climbed to Chang Yufeng's shoulder. She saw Chang Yufeng's slightly tilted head and his eyes staring at the lamb. Although she was reluctant to admit it, Chang Yufeng had no reason to tilt his head to pay attention to her.

[Oh my, why are you bringing a fairy with you~]

The lamb sat casually on Chang Yufeng's shoulder, leaning comfortably against Chang Yufeng's neck, and slowly turned the resentment that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time into a sigh.

[You said... something stupid like saving someone, but in the end you ended up like this... or something... Don't you feel sorry for it? My dear sheep...]

He raised his head and wanted to look at Chang Yufeng's face, but Chang Yufeng just looked at him quietly. His abrupt stop made her inadvertently take a few more steps.

[Even if I know you are just one of millions of you, will I still try my best to save you? I was still thinking that you would eventually choose to give up and escape...]

[Just like you are so afraid of death, only by avoiding death endlessly and being afraid of death can you live so peacefully...]

[As a human being, to have such a terrifying desire to survive... is really terrifying...]

[Wanting to save something... It's really infuriating and funny...]

[A person who obviously has nothing...]

[A person who clearly doesn’t remember anything…]

[A person who obviously doesn’t want to lose anything…]

[In the end, I’m all alone…]

[And three thousand years ago...]

The lamb's eyes were fixed on Chang Yufeng's neck. The smooth neck supported his head, exposing the most vulnerable part in front of his eyes, but he laughed again with ease.

[Haha... There's no other human being like you in this world... Hahahahaha——]

He howled to the sky and laughed wildly.

"After you are resurrected, are you going to keep saying these useless nonsense?"

Chang Yufeng looked ahead and clenched his fists tightly.

[Oh my, you've grown into a big boy... But if I didn't detect your spiritual power level, I would really be scared by you. You dare to speak arrogantly to me at the Golden Level! ]

The lamb scolded loudly, but couldn't help holding back his laughter, and then burst into laughter again. Just like before, his laughter was vast and unrestrained, as if he had never laughed like this before and needed to release this laughter completely all at once.

The birds climbing around were startled and flew to the ground.

[I miss it so much... When they buried me here, I was a little surprised. They actually buried a god who was once so great here. This kind of remote place really makes people... my mind explodes...]

The lamb went crazy and talked about the past events that made his brain explode.

[Thinking about it this way, don't you feel that I was pitiful at the time? An old man was nailed into a coffin. Although people are nailed into coffins when they die, it is too rude. I am really unwilling to die of old age when I am still alive...]

Although he said some extremely scary words, he acted too nonchalant. He fanned the air with his hands twice, puffed up his face angrily and said: [Ah~ You won’t be resigned... So everything here should be related to my death... This is the horror of me~ No no no no~ It should be~ the retribution of their descendants~]

"Is the Immortality really related to you?"

Chang Yufeng asked doubtfully, casually pushing aside the withered branches, which flew away quickly with a crackling sound.

[Immortality...ah~I haven't heard this word for a long time. It seems like I heard it a thousand years ago when those damned humans pinned this crime on me...]

[A tiger in a state of decline is bullied by a dog... Can you understand this idiom? This is an idiom, right? A tiger in a state of decline is bullied by a dog... It won't work after all... Giving up divine power or something...]

He thought about it and realized how powerful it was to talk to oneself. Of course, this was also the reason why he would not feel lonely.

To gain eternal life in the coffin of immortality, you have to find some options to entertain yourself.

"Salahma, the former name of the Immortal Hall. And you, your name is not even recorded in the history of this city..."

Chang Yufeng saw the light of the glowing crystal.

"As arrogant as you are, your name will be erased from history. How rare."

Chang Yufeng chuckled softly, and she looked at him in surprise and smiled, not understanding how a traveler like him could have such a smile.

He possesses a sword that cannot be swallowed by the night, a body as strong as a god, a face bestowed by the goddess, a light that will never go out, and many other things that others will never possess.

In the eyes of the lamb, he had nothing...

This lamb, with her eyes carefree and wanton, would never shine like this traveler.

Can……

They were old acquaintances, and they understood more than she did...

[Hahahaha——Damn it… Who on earth did you learn all these sarcastic remarks from while I was away? Hey!]

The lamb shouted loudly and punched Chang Yufeng on the shoulder, but it seemed that the punch was too light and he laughed even louder...

[Hahahaha——You have fully grown——Now, it’s time to take those things in the sky, one by one, one by one! One by one! One by one! One by one! 】

Sent to hell!
