Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver

"When you turn your reflection towards the river, you seek it in nothing but obscurity. Some withered yellow leaves in autumn, carrying the rain and dew falling from the drifting clouds, wetted the stag's antlers.

Based on the revelation she left us, obscurity is the edge of the Milky Way and the falling dust of nameless stars. Under the night, only in the pearl that reflects the water, when you see her, you will definitely put"I love you" in each other's hearts.

I have seen their tomorrow, and they have seen my past. Perhaps, when you send your reflection into the river and let it determine the distance, she will give it a metaphor. I shall stay here as a witness of what is to come, a meaning, waiting for you to come."

I rarely go to the cliffs at the seaside. I step on the turf at Romeo Point with my feet, letting the hailstones and ice shards buried in the soil make crisp sounds from time to time. I light up a cigarette and look at the sea under my feet, the churning giant. The waves swept past the lighthouse on the rocks of the promontory and rushed into the bay. The darkness in front of me was daunting. I could hear the roar of the sea, low and gloomy, echoing lonely in my ears. Compared with this vast world, I felt really sad. It was too small. The three men and women bleeding profusely, the corpses on the construction site that had not completely cooled down, and the intrigues among them all seemed unnecessary. What on earth is the wind of silver that provokes the fight among heroes in the world? ?Is it really worth risking so many lives? There should be no answer to this

"In the past, I was involved in the whirlpool of cruel struggles in the dark world. At the beginning, I gritted my teeth and decided that they were a group of beasts. However, as I share life and death, my thoughts slowly change. No matter how deviant they are, the world is still made up of people."

"When did you hook up with someone from the dark world again? The guinea pig was stunned for a moment and asked,"Who are they?""

"It doesn’t matter who they are, and that’s not the point I’m trying to make."I threw the cigarette box in the middle of the three people and let them take it for themselves, and said with a sad smile:"And you mentioned by the elites of the dark world, the pan world and the extremely dark world, simply cannot be called human beings, you are a Shura field. general existence. Likewise, Leeann, you said disdainfully that they are a bunch of losers and a bunch of frustrated people. With this kind of prejudice, I unfortunately fell into the whirlpool of your fight again. Then, I came to the realization that no matter what kind of world it is, it is all made up of people, so naturally there is the purest thing, the most authentic self. This includes love, pain, melancholy and regret. But the most cruel thing in the world is actually time. The young man with the broken arm was the one with the least experience among the other two old foxes. He thought for a moment and asked,"Are you looking at it from the perspective of Xiaoying?""

"How many forces will die in the next twenty years, and how many organizations will rise? This is unimaginable from your perspective. I took out the camellia lighter from my trouser pocket and said,"You may be able to buy it on sale for one dollar now, but in the future, you can only buy two rolls of wipes in the 99-cent store, and it will also become low-priced." The catchphrase used by gangsters during robbery"

"Madeleine."The woman raised her face, reached out to take the lighter I brought, and held my fingertips at the same time, but hesitated to speak.

"Leeann, even if you will eventually murder me, I believe that there was a moment in your life when you loved me only for yourself. I don’t need your words. When you talk about this ancient love in the library, the look in your eyes and the smile on your lips when you recall it are enough to prove this. I saw the radiant Sophie again from your face"

"So, you still decided to trust this thief, have you thought about the consequences?"The guinea pig began to look fiercely, and his hands reached behind his back.

"You said that the flying bird of prey is a little bird that cannot gain freedom. It has been locked in a golden cage since birth, or it has become a target in the sky. I also said that my wish is to fly to a world that only belongs to me, to preen my feathers and heal my wounded heart. In my eyes everyone is trash, yes, you heard it right. And this body may be the most rubbish one."I slowly walked towards the end of the cliff, looked at the sky with my flat hands, and sighed with tears:"I never thought that exploring the unknown era would be so sentimental. Therefore, my decision will be turned into a loophole, whether it is Lieshidan, Babel Tower or Golden Stairs, it will all be wishful thinking."

"Calm down, damn, this bastard is about to jump off the cliff, stop him!"The young man broke into a cold sweat and shouted.

A clear gunshot pierced the night sky, and I plunged into the turbulent sea along with the flying blood, and then disappeared from the sight of the three of them. When I reached out to touch, the surroundings were full of It was a bubble, and it had sunk to the bottom of the sea unknowingly. How sad, this scene seemed so similar to the first nightmare that happened when staying in the female soldier's guest room. It turned out that it was never the sea water that was so cold that it was the coldest thing. My heart.

My eyelids began to feel heavy, and my nose began to fill with water. The strong sense of suffocation made me lose consciousness, and I struggled to regain it. Finally, I fell into an eternal darkness with strong winds in my ears but no sense of body. Here, Perhaps it was the Styx Corridor that Miss Lycugu once described, surrounded by various black shadows and illusions flying like bats.

While someone was shaking hard, I opened my tired eyes again and held her hand. With warm hands, he slowly raised his body

"Besson, what happened to you just now? My whole body was stiff and cold, and even my pulse had stopped. I was really frightened."She hugged me tightly, put her face close to me, and said,"Fortunately, you're okay. Besson, are you frozen?""

"I went to a distant era before I was born."On the other side of the mud, the mourning bird, soaked in the heart, was blinking with a boring light. As I walked slowly away, I leaned over to pick up the chain, and rubbed it in my palm. Twenty-six years ago, it had hung On someone's fair neck. I reached out to rummage through the clothes, and sure enough, there was a camellia lighter mixed in. I wiped it with my hand, and the sliding cap fell off. It was already rotten and could no longer be used. I sighed, turned my face and looked at The female corpse floating in the pool.

Although the twenty-six years of Shuttle are blank to me, I have roughly guessed the whole story.

"It can be opened, eh? There was actually a roll of paper stuffed inside."Sister Di took the chain from my hand. When she was about to put it on her neck, she noticed that the shape of the pendant was a little special. She twisted it open and took it out. She muttered:"You make my rotten heart illuminated by the sun. I am eager to Hope to see you again in Alyosulli. Besson, there is a signature at the bottom, but what does AC mean? Is that her?"

"Ashley.Cleymans (Ashley Clemans), this is her name. These words are left to me."Full of tears, I turned around and hugged Sister Di's shoulders, sobbing:"She is not the incarnation of evil, but a person of flesh and blood. I witnessed the moment when she was closest to her true self, even though she was the heinous one. broccoli lady. Come on, there's one last thing I need to do to break the barrier of countercurrent sundog"

"You don't have as clear a view as me, and you can't swim, so it's better for me to go down. Sister Di fiddled with the hem of her shirt and laughed at herself:"It's rotten into a rag anyway, so let it do something meaningful.""

I didn't answer her. I took out the real human oil candlestick from my trouser pocket and waved it towards the mud pool. We have been here many times before. Whether it is me or Dixie, it doesn't matter.Not big. Because of the lack of this thing, the curse still cannot be broken.

"It turns out that going down means this."I gave a general explanation to Sister Di along the way, and she decisively put the chain on her neck and said:"Since she said she would wait for you in Aliaosu, maybe this chain will work, I suggest you take it with you."

"Women."I shook my head with a wry smile, thinking that you were thinking about Vulinsha in front of the waterfall. You obviously wanted to steal it for yourself, but you said it so grandly. But whatever, that was my original plan. As I spoke, I Returning to the original place with her, she climbed onto the thorn tree and began to slide down slowly. Soon, half of her body sank into the liquid layer and she continued to slide forward. The mud submerged her shoulders, leaving only her head exposed. This pool is very strange. There was no thick feeling of mud at all, and the figure seemed to be floating in the sea, but I could not feel the existence of water. Just like this, half a minute later, I swam to the center of the pool. When I got closer, I saw this female corpse covered in blue lichen. It's still creepy, and I still can't connect with her alive. But what should I do when I get to the skeleton? I just remembered that no one seems to have told me the answer to this key question. What is the purpose of carrying her ashore? Or put the human oil candlestick between her broken fingers? At this moment, the female corpse suddenly opened her eyes. I was not alert at all. She screamed a few times and the whole body suddenly sank.

"Besson, what's going on? Why is this monster moving? She is not dead at all, she is alive!"Sister Di's sharp call passed by my ears, and then it disappeared without a trace like a cut off electric current. I tried to open my eyes and saw that I was indeed in the water. There was an endless ice cave underneath, and there was a through-hole. A huge spot of dazzling light illuminated everything around me.

The female corpse also fell down with me, but the terrifying appearance of the rugged bones was completely wiped out, and in front of me was the first sight on the Chimera. When she arrived, her black hair was replaced with real brown. I saw Leeann's mouth opening and closing, as if she was saying hello and talking about something. At the same time, the golden thread trembled, and I heard the familiar voice again. context

"Indeed, you are much more handsome than Madeleine, no wonder you would comment on your father like that. You don’t have to respond to me, and you can’t respond either. Listen to me, real trouble is about to come for you. Even though they tortured me and I broke my teeth, I did not confess the true information to you. Therefore, people from the pan world and the extremely dark world are all investigating your blindness."

Even if she didn't say these words, I could have guessed them, but the signal that came next from the heartbeat not only made me feel a chill in my heart.

"It was precisely because we leaked some private information when we didn't trust each other and speculated on each other at first, that they found an opportunity. That's how your extremely important person got sucked into the whirlpool. If you really do what you said, you should protect that girl's safety. Everything is related. What I didn't have time to say was the whereabouts of the tape. I only learned about it after you left. H1-092 is placed in the basement of the Bellagio Business Building in Midtown Manhattan. Find it and it will explain to you who the real Madeleine is."

After Leeann said this, she suddenly reached into her chest, pulled out a small luminous bracelet, and thrust it into my body. I felt like an electric current was flowing through my whole body, and my whole body was convulsing. When I came back to consciousness, Come, she has gradually gone away

"This is my part of Alyothi. It is not a physical object but a fluctuating consciousness. Only when you become a complete bird of prey can you read it and witness all my sufferings and tears. Soon I will turn into dust and tassels, be completely swallowed by this spring, and will cease to exist from now on. In another sense, I am about to be reborn. In the near future, many unexpected things will happen one after another, which will break your peaceful life. I'm sorry, but this is all caused by me. Wear the shackles or take to the skies, it's up to you. Farewell, my fair-haired boy."

I couldn't make a sound, so I could only watch her figure getting smaller and smaller until she merged into the light spot and became one. Then the surrounding gradually became dazzling, so hot that I couldn't open my eyes. When I stretched out my hand to block it, I felt my wrist He was grabbed by someone, and with a slight movement, he escaped from the vast ocean, and then saw the beads of sweat rolling on Dixie's chest.

"Besson, this damn place is about to collapse. You and I have to hurry up. Can you still stand up?"Seeing my legs beating feebly in the mud, Sister Di put me on her back, then weighed the food to show that she could bear the portion, and hurried back and forth.

"Those blue berries couldn't be Oppuland's health pills, right? I didn't expect you to be so powerful! Even my brothers have a hard time carrying me that far."When I broke into the middle of the cave, I saw that I had recovered, so I hurriedly jumped down, exchanged hands with each other, carried her panting on her back, and ran quickly back to the strange tree hanging with Fulinsha. The entire waterfall cliff. About to collapse, endless rotten lichens fell from the air and turned into powder as soon as they hit the ground. Even so, Dixie was still thinking about Vulinsa and asked me to put her down, with the excuse that I can't run around shirtless anymore. Why did Saga Wing borrow it from the detective, so he had to return it to someone else. While I was playing with the rags that had fallen to the ground, I came to the tree and started picking them hard.

Seeing her busy and sweating profusely, I suddenly noticed that the sky had become brighter. , a rose-colored thin light shines around the cave, causing the lichens to decay faster. And looking at the feathers on the wings, only one is still black. This also shows that we are gradually returning to reality. With these , I thought of something, and not only became worried.

I am an incomplete bird of prey. Once I escape the nightmare of the sun, I will no longer be able to remember this series of sufferings, and naturally I will become different from Sister Di. We are strangers together. And because of me, her information was revealed to Liechitan as early as 1972, so naturally from then on, she became the only clue to find my true identity. And Channel 9 let She changed her route to Caidi Home to report. The person who spoke to her boss was probably involved with the dark world, the meta-world or the ultra-dark world.

When Leeann mentioned Dixie before disappearing, she was obviously also worried about her fate. What if in the future? I can't forgive myself for any misfortune that happens to her. Looking at her who knows nothing, I blink and an idea comes to my mind.

"1972? It was too far away. I was still in primary school at that time."Sister Di was climbing on the tree when she suddenly fell to the ground. She looked back at me and said to herself in surprise:"Who is it? Who's talking? Could it be that there are others hiding here?"

"No, the person speaking is me, and this is the gold return line."I stretched out my hand to pull her up and grinned:"In the ECG, you can't tell the difference between men and women, and there is no pronunciation, but the dialogue can be taken directly into your mind. This is an experiment I was just doing. Based on the principle that we do not actually exist, but are consciousnesses or ghosts, it seems that I was wrong."

"Then you might as well say hello first, come on so suddenly, I almost had another premature strike. Sister Di was shocked and amazed, and said:"Maybe it's a plot often mentioned in science fiction magazines. This is how people on earth communicate when they are captured in a flying saucer.""

"I'm thinking about a harsh question, that is, once we return to the real world, we will forget everything. Therefore, I plan to first try to see if I can communicate with my current physique. I once heard my buddy mention that things like corpse souls can be planted in other people's bodies in advance, and then various messages can be injected into them." Seeing that she was reluctant to leave, I helped her pick it and said,"This damn place is about to collapse, so just pick it up." And whether this thing can bring back reality is still unknown."

The greedy Dixie thought so, but she still took off her shirt and packed them. Then she jumped on the mushroom soft stone with me in her vest and rushed to the top of the cliff of the waterfall. I avoided the ruins falling from the sky and kept urging her to hurry up. I ran back to the original grottoes. At this moment, a bright green light suddenly lit up in front of me, and I was immediately dizzy. When the light turned, I opened my eyes and saw that I was actually standing in the park. In the fountain. The Nutstone Hotel is standing a hundred meters away in front of us. The dazzling thing just now turned out to be a pedestrian traffic light. At this moment, the sky is slightly bright, and the time is displayed on the TV wall in the distance.
