My vampire princess wants to repay a debt of gratitude.

With Ye Zimo's prompting, Lin Mo calmed down and looked at the music box again.

The music box was just an ordinary music box, except that the girl dancing on it was tied with a silk thread. Following this thread upwards, deeper into the sky, lay a monster that appeared and disappeared.

Its size was so enormous that Lin Mo could only see its eyes hidden in the darkness. It seemed to be fishing, its eyes fixed on the music box.

If someone bumps into the music box, it will pull them up.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Lin Mo couldn't help but swallow.

"Its name is Gift, and it likes to attract souls with gifts."

What would happen if it caught you?

"It becomes another gift in its hands, used to attract other souls; its hobby is collecting all kinds of souls."

Ye Zimo sat behind the door, seemingly deciding to stay there for the time being to prevent Lin Mo or the little girl from being attracted again and rushing out uncontrollably.

Outside, darkness had completely enveloped everything. Apart from the music box, the colored lights inside were still twinkling faintly, looking like the only stars in the night, which were very alluring to those walking in the dark.

"Put your ears in so you don't have to look at them anymore."

Ye Zimo reminded her.

Lin Mo nodded. Compared to the little girl, Lin Mo had stronger self-control.

After all, he had experienced many strange and bizarre monster incidents before, and now he was clearly more experienced than the little girl when facing these spirit creatures.

Furthermore, realizing that the music box was essentially bait, the desire to possess it was lessened.

Lin Mo dug two cotton balls out of the ground and plugged his ears.

Suddenly, I realized that all the food in this cloud castle was made of clouds, and you could even pinch them off.

It was also Lin Mo's first time seeing such a dreamlike castle, and he felt there was no need to keep his mind on edge.

He used a cat's paw to wrap a cloud-like ball, and then tinkered with it to make two tennis rackets.

I used to play tennis with Ye Zimo, Li Qi, and Xiao Ju.

So, to pass the time, the two started playing tennis in the castle.

Although Lin Mo has the body of a cat, he moves very nimbly.

Another peaceful night passed.

The next morning, they left the Cloud Castle and set foot on the wilderness once more.

As before, most monsters will hide as soon as it gets light, and you will only encounter a small number of monsters, which are mostly slow-moving.

If Lin Mo and his group can escape, they can successfully evade the situation.

Wang Xiaoyun's mental state is not very good today, probably because she was knocked unconscious last night.

She was still a little afraid of Ye Zimo, but Lin Mo was the size of a cat at this moment, so she couldn't hide behind Lin Mo.

Ye Zimo gave her a strange feeling; sometimes she was very reliable, and sometimes she was as cold as ice, which made her afraid.

Wang Xiaoyun missed her parents, her classmates, and the snacks sold at the convenience store near the school gate, but these things would never appear in this wasteland, so she felt very disappointed.

Her disappointment stemmed from the fact that she knew this was a wasteland, not the real world, and that even if classmates appeared before her, it would be an illusion.

So she controlled herself from thinking and from having wild thoughts, focusing solely on getting out of there.

Lin Mo kept talking to her, mainly to tell her this.

Finally, the three of them left the wasteland and arrived at the shore of the Abyss Sea.

This is a boundless red sea, with several small boats moored on the shore. Next to the boats is a guard post, surrounded by guards.

Four white-robed guards stood watch. They were also 3 meters tall and wore masks with only a small hole in them, so it was impossible to tell whether they had eyes or not.

They floated over immediately and checked Ye Zimo's identification.

Ye Zimo took out the identification of the person who had guided them earlier. The white-robed guard nodded slightly and led them to a small boat, tilting his head to indicate that the boat was usable.

Throughout the entire process, they did not utter a single sound, as if they were completely incapable of speaking.

Ye Zimo led the little girl and Lin Mo onto the boat.

Four people in white robes helped push the ship into the Abyss Sea, making a gesture that Ye Zimo couldn't understand.

Ye Zimo sat in the middle of the small boat and began to row.

The small boat quickly moved away from the shore.

The four men in white robes remained standing beside the guard post, seemingly watching them go.

Lin Mo and Wang Xiaoyun sat on the small boat, unable to resist looking down at the deep red sea.

"Brother Lin Mo."

Wang Xiaoyun suddenly called out.

"what happened?"

"At times like this, you must never look back, or you'll be dragged back by the evil spirits behind you. That's how it was written in the novels I used to read."

Wang Xiaoyun said nervously.

Lin Mo broke out in a sweat; he felt he should sew the little girl's mouth shut.

But since she's already spoken, there's no way to change it.

Lin Mo even felt a chilling wind coming from behind his head, as if a demon was calling his name from behind.

If I turn around even once, it will snatch me away.

Wang Xiaoyun covered her ears with her small hands, as if someone was calling her name from behind, but the more she did so, the louder the voice became.

On the vast, boundless sea, if you don't speak for a long time, it will definitely drive you crazy.

But speaking out could easily cause an even bigger crisis.

Because the Abyss Sea has a unique characteristic: what is said is law.

Whatever those who cross the sea say may materialize and be dragged into the abyss by terrifying monsters.

Chapter 202 The Sea of ​​the Abyss

Ye Zimo had told Lin Mo about this characteristic before crossing the sea, which was also told to her by the family's contracted wizard.

In the abyss, all beautiful wishes are distorted and revealed.

All evil desires will be released directly.

Those who wish to cross the sea should consider themselves deaf and mute, enduring loneliness and despair in order to reach the other shore.

Once you step into the abyss, there is no turning back, because the wasteland world belonging to your soul has been covered by the sea. You can only move forward, not backward.

There are only seven islands in the Abyss Sea where one can rest, and only on these islands can one speak freely.

The seven islands correspond to the seven human emotions.

Joy, anger, worry, thought, grief, fear, and surprise.

On these seven islands, you will encounter corresponding emotional monsters. If you can overcome them, you can continue to move forward. The role of the guide is to help the soul pass the test as much as possible.

Many people who reach the first island don't want to leave.

Because the island is full of things that bring joy, it feels like paradise, so it is also called Paradise Island.

The only variable in the three people's journey to Paradise Island is the little girl.

Ye Zimo was used to silence, so she didn't find it difficult to endure.

Because Ye Zimo was right beside him, Lin Mo didn't feel bored. Besides, he was in cat form at the moment, so it didn't matter if he didn't speak.

And squatting on Ye Zimo's knees, feeling Ye Zimo's steady breathing and body scent, even through the guide's skin, it was no big deal.

Lin Mo had always envied the happiness of Three-Tailed and Nine-Tailed as cat masters, and now he could finally feel it too.

Wang Xiaoyun, however, tends to talk when she's nervous. At this moment, she was undoubtedly very nervous, but she was just holding back from saying anything.

Moreover, she kept covering her ears, and the more she did so, the louder the surrounding sounds seemed to become.

Lin Mo didn't know how to comfort her.

All I could do was watch as her petite body trembled incessantly, as if she were experiencing boundless fear.

Whenever she tried to turn around, Lin Mo would reach out his cat paw and press down on her head to stop her from doing something foolish.

"Thank you, Brother Lin Mo."

Wang Xiaoyun gave her a grateful look and then said, "I really wish time would pass faster."

Lin Mo and Ye Zimo were stunned.

Wang Xiaoyun immediately covered her mouth, realizing she had said the wrong thing.

The next second, Wang Xiaoyun's body suddenly grew larger, her fair skin gradually darkened, and fine lines appeared on her originally smooth face. It seemed as if decades of time had been stolen away in an instant, and she became a middle-aged woman.

Lin Mo had also turned into an old and frail cat, seemingly tired even from lifting his feet.

Only Ye Zimo, who was originally a vampire, remained herself even after her time was stolen. In addition, she wore a mask, so no one could see what she looked like now.

Wang Xiaoyun froze, staring at the unfamiliar woman reflected in the red seawater, and screamed loudly.

"Ah! Who is this? This isn't me, this isn't me!"

As she screamed, a little girl who looked exactly like her suddenly appeared on the boat.

Her expression and Wang Xiaoyun's thoughts were identical.

"Who...who are you?"

The middle-aged Wang Xiaoyun and the young girl Wang Xiaoyun spoke in unison.

Ye Zimo frowned slightly.

Lin Mo finally understood the terror of the Abyss Sea. Judging from their aura and scent, both of them were Wang Xiaoyun.

Aside from one being older and the other younger, there is no difference between them.

"I am the real Wang Xiaoyun, and you are not!"
