Chapter 593
"Where are they?"
"How come he disappeared in the blink of an eye? Was he teleported away?" March Seven widened her eyes and looked around, trying to find Aglaya and the others. There was obvious confusion in her voice, and she tightly grasped the sleeve of Lin Yu beside her.
"This place is full of mysteries, so we still have to be careful."
"I heard from the old man before that the process of awakening memory might be accompanied by some unexpected things, but I didn't expect it to be presented in this way." Lin Yu said.
San Yue Qi bit his lip, feeling more and more uneasy. "So what should we do now? Should we go find them?"
"No matter what, we have to figure out the situation as soon as possible."
"Walter, do we need to split up into two groups to look for them?" Ji Zi looked at Walter.
Walter pushed his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses calm, "At present, splitting into two groups may expand the search range and increase the chances of finding them, but we must maintain close contact and send a signal immediately if we encounter danger."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu added, "To ensure safety, each group must have at least two people, and during the search, pay attention to any abnormal signs around you."
San Yueqi nodded quickly, "I will follow Lin Yu."
"Me too." Xing raised his hand silently.
"Liuying, what about you?" Lin Yu looked at Liuying.
Liuying bit her lower lip slightly, with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.
She sighed softly, "I... shouldn't go. I still have to take care of Xueying, as well as Clara and the others and the civilians in the town. After this incident, they are all terrified and very vulnerable. I would be worried if no one is around to comfort them." Her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and her words were full of concern for those who needed help.
"Is that so... Well, thank you for your hard work. How should I put it... I'm really sorry." Lin Yu scratched his head, with a hint of apology on his face.
Liuying smiled and shook her head: "Don't say that. Protecting everyone is our common responsibility, but the division of labor is different. You can go and look for Aglaya and the others, and leave the rear to me."
Ji Zi had been observing everyone quietly. Seeing that the grouping had been preliminarily determined, she raised the corners of her mouth, "Have you made the assignment? Then I will be in a group with Walter. Everyone must be careful. Once you find anything, notify each other immediately. Although our communication device can be used, the signal is intermittent. Everyone must remain vigilant."
...
"Where are we going?" asked March 7.
Lin Yu looked around. Ji Zi and the others had already left, but Heita walked away alone. He wondered what ideas she had.
"Do you want to... go over there? I always feel that place is a little strange." Xing said, pointing his hand to the area in the distance that was shrouded in black fog. The area seemed to be covered by a mysterious veil. The black fog was rolling and surging, faintly emitting an unsettling atmosphere.
Lin Yu looked in the direction that Xing pointed, "It does look unusual there,"
"But it looks so scary there. What if there is danger?" March 7 subconsciously leaned towards Lin Yu.
"Since we are here to look for Aglaya and the others, we must explore that area."
San Yue Qi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Then, the three of them walked towards the area shrouded in black fog.
As they gradually approached the area, a strong stench of decay hit them in the face and the black fog became thicker.
"It's so dark here... I subconsciously thought it was night. There is also a burning smell around. Is there a fire nearby?" March 7 said curiously. The worry and fear on his face had disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by curiosity.
"I feel like there's something nearby," Xing said in a low voice, "and there's more than one."
San Yueqi subconsciously shrank his neck and lowered his voice unconsciously, "Really? What is that thing?"
Just then, a deep roar came from the darkness, the voice was deep.
San Yueqi was so scared that he almost screamed.
"Wha...what?"
"Not sure, the noise seems to come from that door." Lin Yu said, looking at the door decorated with a logo similar to the sun god.
The three of them walked towards the door cautiously, their steps extremely slow and every step full of caution.
Just as they approached, the door suddenly opened with a creaky sound, and a stale and decayed smell rushed in.
At the entrance, there was a devastated ruin, with a desolate atmosphere among the broken walls. A collapsed stone pillar stood in front of them, blocking their way.
And in the air nearby, a pink rabbit was floating quietly, as if waiting for their arrival.
As everyone approached, the pink rabbit seemed to have received some kind of instruction and flew forward lightly for a distance, as if guiding them.
The three of them jumped over the stone pillar, and the scene before them made them stop.
In their sight, some "humans" emitting blue light appeared. They stood there quietly, motionless.
"Is this... a human? A soul?" March Seven looked at those motionless people emitting blue light, frowned in confusion, his eyes full of confusion.
"I'm not sure. Just in case, don't get too close to them." Lin Yu reminded, always being prepared for possible dangers.
The three of them continued forward, climbed the stairs, and came to a platform.
Before their eyes, a huge palace gate spanned across the bridge. It was majestic, yet exuded a mysterious sense of oppression.
Lin Yu looked to the distance on the left, and the huge statue came into view. It was holding up the "sun" steadily. The light was dazzling, but it could not penetrate the strange black fog.
"It's so strange that the light source can't penetrate this layer of black fog. What exactly is this black fog?" As soon as March Seven's voice fell, the white statues behind the crowd seemed to move slightly.
The three thought they had seen it wrong. In this tense atmosphere, their nerves were too tense, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
But after a while, the subtle sound came again, as if someone was moving quietly in the dark.
"Lin Yu...are they playing statues with us?" March Seven held the bow, put the arrow on the string, aimed at the statues, his eyes full of vigilance.
"Maybe they think they haven't been discovered?" Lin Yu said, and suddenly, the surface of the statues made a "cracking" sound, and then they shattered one after another, revealing the contents inside.
Was it a person wearing armor, or just armor that moved? It was hard to tell for a moment.
However, the tense situation at the moment did not allow anyone to wonder or think carefully.
Lin Yu and the other two gripped their weapons tightly and fought with those armored soldiers without hesitation.
The sound of metal colliding kept echoing in the darkness. For a moment, the two sides were evenly matched and it was difficult to tell who was better.
At this moment, an extremely strong feeling of oppression came from above my head, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on me.
Before everyone could react, a man fell from the sky like a meteor, holding a sword in his hand, and landed steadily next to the armor.
His movements were clean and quick. With one slash of his sword, the armors instantly fell to the ground, unable to move.
Then, the man slowly turned around, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and rushed towards Xing.
How could Lin Yu let him succeed? He instantly appeared in front of Xing, slashed with a sword, and the blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistle.
As a result, the next moment, Lin Yu only felt a huge force coming, and the sword in his hand flew out of his hand uncontrollably, and fell not far away with a "clang".
Although Xing behind him was not injured, the baseball bat in his hand was snatched away by the man.
"Don't get me wrong, this is for your safety." The man said, "In a place like Chongyuan, holding weapons is a provocation. These soldiers are minions of 'Dispute' and have always been ruthless towards foreign enemies." His eyes revealed his understanding of this dangerous place.
“If you continue swinging your swords, not only will you become prey, but you will also draw their blades to the heads of innocent people.” The man explained slowly, his eyes sweeping over the three people and some civilians in the distance one by one.
"Bai E? Why are you here?" Lin Yu was a little surprised. He never expected to meet Bai E here. His eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement.
"Could you please tell me your purpose and why you know my name, a guest who came down from the sky?" Bai'e said with a "smile" on his face, and that smile looked a little weird in the dark.
Lin Yu was stunned when he heard this. They had clearly met before, but Bai E looked like he didn't recognize them at all. If he had forgotten his previous memories because he had recovered his memories, this would be too bizarre and too difficult to explain.
Restoring memory is supposed to bring back the past, but how come it erases all the previous events and people we knew?
Omphalos...does he have some special power that can manipulate people's memories and even distort their cognition?
Or, the contract that the old man mentioned restored their memories of heaven, so it is impossible that nothing was 'lost'.
