Dark Fairy Tale: Will their desires be fulfilled?

Vision is distorted, to the point where all the senses are twisted. All sorts of absurd images are spliced ​​together at random, gradually losing the concept of the individual, with the intention of destroying all sanity of the prey.

The taut string finally broke, Allen let out a scream, and fell on his back weakly, his dull black pupils reflecting the empty ceiling.

The fire in the fireplace had gone out, cold air filled the air, and the intact walls wrapped around the broken him.

The old nanny who heard the noise hurriedly opened the door, only to find Allen lying on the bed with empty eyes.

"Master Allen, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Allen did not respond at all, the old nanny was frightened and hurried to report to the Duchess.

And in Allen's senses, he found that his soul had separated from his body and was floating in the air. No matter how he struggled, he could not move at all.

Watching the soul gradually dispersing into glowing points of light, he couldn't help but feel discouraged. He was finally reborn into the Duke's family and became the eldest son. He hadn't even had time to enjoy a life surrounded by beauties, but he died just like that?

And he died at the hands of that stinky sister!

Thinking of this, a strong desire to survive suddenly aroused in my heart. This stinky sister actually dared to hurt me, I must take revenge!

He swam desperately towards his original body, but his soul was now too weak and could only spin in place. He was so light that a slight breeze could blow him away completely.

Just as he was falling into despair, his original body suddenly shook, and he clearly saw that there was a complicated and mysterious pentagram array engraved on the heart area, and a dark acupuncture point that was constantly collapsing was emerging. Black fog surrounded it, and the powerful gravitational force that emerged pulled his soul back into his body again.

There was a real feeling of finally landing steadily after falling from a high altitude. Allen waved his familiar arms in disbelief, feeling that his soul had completely fit into this body again.

After twelve years of traveling through time, the mysterious and the extraordinary finally emerged before our eyes.

Allen didn't want to delay for a moment, so he got up and went to his old father's study to steal the key to the large library.

The Great Library is a forbidden area in the Duke's mansion. The ancestors of the family spared no expense in terms of financial and material resources to collect countless precious books scattered around the world and enter them into the library.

Allen used to hate studying, so he had little interest in such a boring place.

But after personally experiencing the mysterious dream, he firmly believed that the extraordinary existence in this world, since it is a real thing, must be recorded in relevant books.

Soon, he found the key clue in the great library.

It is a very old history book called "Eyes of Eternal Night", and the content recorded on it is roughly as follows:

"In the Second Era, there was no sun, only endless darkness. Women with special physiques were able to draw strength from the darkness and exert extraordinary powers. They called themselves witches. In that cold and dangerous kingdom of eternal night, tyrannical witch emperors ruled an entire era, which later generations called the Witch Era."

Witch, this term has been associated with dark rituals in previous lives, such as the famous work "Dark Bible".

In this world, the span between eras is really too large, basically one era is more than 20,000 years, and now is the third era, the Middle Ages when steam is booming.

Because of this, the historical records of the Second Era are rather fragmentary. It is more rare that this history book mentions that witches really existed in the previous era.

He checked his pocket watch and knew that the guard of the library would be here soon, so he secretly took out the ancient book and prepared to study it carefully.

When he passed the corridor of his room, the old maid came rushing over and said in horror: "Finally I found you, young master! You should go and have a look quickly! Madam Tina is interrogating Miss Elstin! If you go too late, Miss Elstin will die!"

Allen was stunned for a moment, thinking about what happened last night and his weak condition this morning. He thought that the old nanny must have reported it to his stepmother, and then his stepmother blamed his stinky sister.

I hope my mother can punish my stinky sister! My stinky sister was too cruel before, and she totally disregarded the relationship between her and her brother! It would be best if I could teach her a lesson myself, and then get more information about the mysterious world from her!

Simply perfect!

"Hurry up and lead the way!" Allen said angrily. The old nanny responded and hurriedly led the way.

As the master and servant walked through the garden full of dazzling flowers, they saw a noble lady in a linen lace puffy skirt. Her aqua blue hair and cold face made her look noble and unapproachable.

Standing in front of her was a girl as delicate as a flower. She was Allen's elder sister, Elstin.

A cold voice came clearly into Allen's ears through the lush flowers.

"You ignored my warning and attacked your brother!" The voice was soft, but it revealed a kind of majesty that could not be ignored. Elsteen's body trembled immediately, and she looked up at her, her purple eyes full of stubbornness.

"Don't act presumptuously without even saying hello. Although you have been appointed as the heir by the family, I should remind you from time to time that you are just a tool in the hands of the master, right?"

Elstin did not obey her adoptive mother like a little mouse as usual, but pursed her lips and said arrogantly: "Mother, why do you always favor that useless brother? You should know very well that only I can maintain the prestige of the family..."

At this moment, Tina's blue eyes seemed as cold as if they were frozen. She raised her hand and slapped Elsteen.

Snapped.

A crisp sound instantly broke the silence of the garden, and five bright red fingerprints appeared on Elstin's fair cheek. The bright red blood dripped from the corners of her cracked lips like red roses, dyeing the white roses at her feet red, and the petals were withering rapidly.

Everyone was shocked. The usually gentle Duchess seemed like a different person at this moment, as if the ruthless god of death was swinging his scythe.

The old lady was sweating profusely. She covered her mouth with both hands and stood there in a daze.

"Mother?"

Hearing Allen's somewhat fearful voice, Tina's icy face melted instantly, revealing a familiar and warm smile. She walked quickly towards him and then hugged him in her arms.

"I'm so glad you're okay, Allen. I heard from the old lady that you were missing this morning. Do you know how worried I was?"

Allen had no intention of enjoying the softness on his cheek, still frightened by his stepmother's coldness, so he said softly, "Oh, I had a nightmare last night, so I suddenly wanted to walk around this morning. I'm fine now, you don't have to worry."

He did not choose to tell the whole story of the mysterious encounter in his stinky sister's room last night. He did not want to alert his sister and make her suspicious.

At this moment, the servant came hurriedly and bowed to the stepmother, saying: "Madam, the master has something urgent to ask you."

"Got it." Tina replied impatiently. She poked Allen's cheek with her finger, her eyes filled with joy at having her lost items recovered. "Be good in the future. You can always talk to me if you have any troubles, because I am your mother."

Allen nodded slightly with a contrite look on his face.

Tina then let go of her arms with satisfaction, but glanced at Elstin with disgust, and then left with the old lady.

The entire garden immediately became empty, with only the brother and sister left.

Looking at the stinky sister standing in front of him motionless, with her long hair covering her expression and only the blood flowing from her mouth, Allen felt so happy! I let you hurt me that night, even if you kneel down and apologize to me now, I will not forgive you easily.

At this moment, the moment Elsine raised her head, her amethyst-like pupils were filled with hatred as vicious as a viper, and then she turned and left without looking back.

Allen was the only one left standing in the garden, letting the falling petals brush against his neck.

——It seems that this punishment is far from enough.

Chapter 6: The Great Library

Allen began to study the ancient book "Eyes of Eternal Night" all night long. The more he read, the more he felt that not only was there very little historical material about the Witch Era, but the narrative logic was also quite confusing. Reading for a long time would always make people dizzy, as if a wooden hammer was constantly hitting their head.

After waking up listlessly in the morning, he got dressed with the help of the old nanny and went to the garden of the mansion to pay his respects to his stepmother, and then had morning tea together.

This was almost the only thing that promoted the relationship between this mother and son who were not related by blood.

Although his stepmother repeatedly reminded him not to miss today's etiquette class while sipping black tea, Allen basically turned a blind eye.

He hated the cumbersome rules of the upper class aristocracy, and now he didn't have the time to waste his energy on these boring courses, so he changed the subject and asked, "Why didn't I see my sister?"

"I put her in solitary confinement." Tina took a sip of red tea. Her beautiful face showed no expression. It seemed that she was just narrating a trivial matter. "Bad children must be punished."

Put in solitary confinement? Now I can't get close to my stinky sister and take the opportunity to learn about the mysterious world... Allen rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingertips in frustration.

"Allen, why are you so depressed again? I have punished your sister just as you wished." Tina moved her slender waist and held Allen in her arms, shaking him left and right. "You are not cute with this expression. Cheer up, Allen."

Allen rubbed his head, stood up and walked out of the garden in boredom, with his stepmother still nagging about today's etiquette lessons behind him.

He deliberately walked around the etiquette teacher's teaching room for a long time, and then when the servants were not paying attention, he quickly slipped away, preparing to go to the library to look for the mysterious book.

The entire library stands like a tall tower in the dense forest. Mist floats between each floor, revealing a dazzling halo under the repeated refraction of sunlight.

Allen stood outside the iron door of the library, looking as small as an ant.

He couldn't help but marvel at the sight. He didn't expect that in this medieval-like world, he would be able to witness such a magnificent building with his own eyes. At the same time, he also gained a deeper understanding of the family's strong financial resources.

However, the vast collection of books inside is more attractive at this time, and maybe you can find the door to mystery from it.

Thinking of this, Allen couldn't help but feel excited. He firmly believed that his long-dormant golden finger would be waiting for him ahead.

Just like yesterday, he took advantage of the absence of the guard and gently pushed open the iron door. Although he had been here once, the giant spiral bookshelf made him dizzy.

I tried my best to concentrate all my energy and quickly found the major classification of world history among many labels such as astronomy and geography, mathematics and mechanics, philosophy and sculpture.

The place where the books were stored was a bit high, so he had to bring a high stand, and his young body climbed up with great difficulty.

Looking at the rows of gold-plated words on the spines of the books, he was shocked. What the hell is this? !

"Diary of the Fall of an Elf", "The Princess' Guide to Receiving Guests", "The Story of the Female Knight in the Goblin Cave", "Sister Sanhua"......

I searched an entire bookshelf and found nothing but glamorous biographies that were disgusting to the eyes. All of them were based on the theme of "cuckold". They told the story of a male protagonist who, after his beloved was seduced by someone else and possessed by someone else, and even after her eyes degenerated into pink love shapes, still chose to forgive her and raised her child with someone else as his own.

What a superb receiver! Although some of the details of the prone and kneeling postures were depicted quite vividly, he didn't come here specifically to see these things!

He didn't expect that his ancestors would be interested in collecting books on this subject.

After another round of searching, I finally found a reliable book.

The title of the book is "Mystery: The Echoes of Dreams".

The preface of the book spares no effort to explain the origin of "dreams", and begins with a quote from the inner monologue of a countess who suffers from somnolence:

"Oh, yes, yes... Although it doesn't matter what happens... But that strange dream doesn't seem to be some kind of clairvoyance. Since then, I have seen it several times... Each time it was an unimaginable scene."

"Those... dreams... are either my hidden wishes... or they are what I see because of the fear hidden deep in my subconscious."

"That was just... a simple dream, what a ridiculous dream..."

Then came the introduction to the dream, and Allen was pleasantly surprised after reading it.

The book explains that people’s dreams are divided into different levels. Ordinary people’s dreams are like mirrors, which are simply a reflection of the real world. The content of dreams cannot transcend the existence of things in the real world.

For people with strange physiques, the content of their dreams is not limited to the constraints of the real world, but is connected to a mysterious space called the "Big Rift".

The book goes on to introduce the Great Rift in great detail: mist always lingers in it, and great souls from ancient times dominate everything, while also giving birth to the extraordinary. By offering sacrifices, even mortals can gain that great power and realize their inner wishes in the real world.

However, the mysterious dreamland connected to the Great Rift is also full of dangers. Those who have already sacrificed their entire souls will form a black hole in their hearts that continues to collapse inward. All emotions and reason will be swallowed up by it, but the black hole can never be filled.

As a result, they wander in dreams all year round, their bodies twisted into inhuman monsters, thirsting for blood and souls to fill the endless black hole in their hearts.

Such people are also called light chasers in mysterious dreams.

Even so, from ancient times to the present, there are still countless people with strange physiques who want to conquer the entire Great Rift, but in the end they cannot escape the fate of becoming light chasers.

However, throughout the entire long history, there is only one type of people who are the exception, and that is the witches who survived in the previous era. They successfully concluded a contract with the great souls in the Great Rift and would never be swallowed by the incomplete black hole in their hearts. This is how they were able to rule an entire long era.

Allen's mind then emerged with the dangerous and strange dream he had experienced in his stinky sister's room that night. In the dream, there was indeed an ugly monster waving tentacles, lurking around, and it was determined to eat his entire soul.

Is this the mystery of this world? If you are not careful you will end up in an irretrievable situation... Allen felt scared just thinking about it, and at the same time he was certain that the always cold and arrogant little sister was the person with the strange physique mentioned in the book.

By sacrificing to the Great Rift, she gained extraordinary power. No wonder she was so absurdly strong and I have never been her opponent.

The book also considerately marks the spells that must be recited in order to enter the Great Rift.

It was the same sentence that the stinky sister had chanted earlier: The shadow of night has fallen on the heavenly palace... This is the time of dusk...

Although he had made some discoveries, Allen was not confident enough to rashly enter the Great Rift. Moreover, he was not sure whether he was the person with "a strange physique".

Considering his mediocre qualifications since the time he traveled through, he always felt that this possibility was slim. What on earth was his golden finger? And when would it awaken?

What kind of a time traveler is it without a golden finger?

Chapter 7: Blasphemers of the Great Sages

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the scene in which he experienced the mysterious dream guided by his stinky sister and suffered the pain of soul separation the next day. If it were not for the wonderful dark acupuncture points that emerged in the heart of the original owner's body and pulled his soul back into the body, he would probably have been reincarnated again.

Could that mysterious acupuncture point be my golden finger?

There is no clue, and one can only hope to gain answers by delving deeper into the mysteries of this world.

Just as he continued to look for books about the mystery, a faint conversation suddenly came from not far ahead.

Allen immediately became alert and took out his pocket watch to check. It was still early for the shift change. Who was in there?

Driven by curiosity, he moved cautiously and peeked forward.

The closer I got to the source of the sound, the more curious I became. Why did this sound sound a little strange?

It sounded like the rapid breathing of a sweaty person, and the bookshelf seemed to be impacted by some external force, making regular creaking and shaking sounds from time to time.

Allen moved a book away in confusion and then looked away from the gap.

I saw a beautiful leg wrapped in white silk stockings stretched out in the air, with a high-heeled shoe on the toes, and the sole of the foot exposed to the air was already covered with sweat.

The white stockings that were originally tightly attached to the thighs have now become loose and hang around the ankles.

The inky black nun's uniform could not conceal the woman's inherent charm at this moment, and her low murmurs were like the chirping of an oriole in a garden.

The white socks at the toes are mixed with sweat and fragrance, attracting men's attention...

"Well, I finally caught them! In the Duke's mansion, in broad daylight, there are such shameless servants doing such things! I must teach them a lesson with a critical spirit!"

Allen stopped pretending to spy and walked towards them with a righteous step.
