Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

"Doctor...why don't we wait a little longer?"

Seeing the sudden change in the scenery in front of him, even Keobei felt that the courtyard shrouded in the bloody setting sun must be quite sinister. Coupled with the gloomy and uncertain expression of the doctor next to him, he couldn't help but expressed relief:"Maybe we Can we go back and find another way?"

"……No, that's not necessary."

Facing Keob's comfort, the doctor just sighed slightly:"If this is urging us to take the next step, then it is probably meaningless to look back... If you don't believe it, you can try opening the door behind us. , I guess that wouldn’t be an option at all."

Among the three puppet operators who have been following the doctor, Cross was closest to the door.

As if to verify the doctor's idea, the girl Kats walked to the door mechanically, and then opened the room as instructed. Door

……Outside the door, the scenery was exactly the same as outside the wall, with the bloody setting sun and the ruined courtyard.

This weird scenery made even the doctor and Kiobe who were well prepared couldn't help but take a breath: I'm afraid, even if all the surrounding walls were broken, the 365-degree space outside the room would not be visible. It will be this ominous looking place

"Ahhhh... Do you understand? Since we 'should leave', there is no way out."

The doctor smiled self-deprecatingly, but the bitterness in this smile really proved the confusion in his heart.

"……It doesn't matter, Xiao Ke will protect the doctor!"

Perhaps because he has experienced similar things before, Keobei recovered from the surprise a little faster than the doctor.

Probably to encourage the doctor, or to cheer himself up, Xiao Ke said this while Also made a"full of throwing tiles" action

"It's okay, Xiao Mo - I'm fine."

Looking at the worried look in the eyes of the Pero girl in front of him, the doctor suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

The things he was considering were essentially the operators behind the castle, the truth of the incident, the nature of the troupe, and the puppets and the others. The safety of the search and rescue operators.

But for Xiao Mo, her idea is very simple: the doctor is hesitant because he is afraid - so he must show the courage and ability to protect the doctor so that the doctor will not be afraid.

"I'm just curious...what kind of secrets are hidden under this setting sun?……"

Walking forward slowly, the doctor stretched out his hand, crossed the torn wall, and touched the dusk courtyard on the other side of the wall.

——But at this moment, the scenery seemed like a fake hanging in the mirror. When the finger passed through the wall, it seemed like it was immersed in water, with ripples appearing, making the surrounding scenery somewhat unreal.

Both the doctor and Kiobe were attracted by this wonderful sight, and stared intently at the ripples slowly spreading in the illusion and reality. However, the ripples suddenly turned into a huge wave, sweeping towards the two of them.

"？！！""ah……！！"

Just when the two of them were shocked by this sudden disaster, in the blink of an eye, the waves, ripples, and the devastating disaster disappeared without a trace like a dream. The position where the two of them were standing at the moment became On the other side of the mirror, the courtyard shrouded in bloody dusk

（……etc! )

The doctor seemed to realize something and suddenly turned around——

……There is no castle anywhere, the endless bloody courtyard has filled the entire field of vision, while the puppet operators stood expressionlessly behind the two of them, silent.

The corner of the doctor's mouth twitched, and the expression hidden behind the hood became a little worse.

(As expected...when it’s time to leave, will you leave no matter what?……）

————Dividing line————

Just when the doctor and his party entered the bloody courtyard, Du Luo also sensed it.

This is not some special Origin Stone skill or bloodline ability, but something more simple, perhaps based on some kind of rules, some kind of"will" that made Mu Luo know this.

But this made it difficult for the Phedian man to deal with it.

The location he is currently at is a node at the junction of the courtyard and the castle.

Unlike the doctor who entered the courtyard by mistake, he still had some understanding of the rules of the"troupe". After experimenting in the courtyard several times, he finally found this point and was about to leave.

If you don't leave now, it may take a few days, or it may only take a few seconds, and this node will disappear - to delay the opportunity to move forward in order to wait for a"friendly force" whose identity is unknown, for Mu Luo, it is A"Worth It" or"Not Worth It" Choice

"…………"

Looking steadily in the direction pointed by the special will, Mu Luo was silent for a while, and finally shook his head.

(Since he is able to come here, he must be a being with certain strength. If he goes there rashly, he might drag others down...) The silver-haired Feidiya looked at the sky that still exudes the blood color - ever since he was trapped in the fog. After that, even this open sky became some kind of scenery that was almost a luxury.

(I am a dying person, so why should I get involved with unrelated innocent people...)

Thinking like this, Mu Luo stretched out his hand, slowly stretched it towards the void in front of him, and pressed it lightly.

A dark vortex appeared in the void with one press, like a greedy mouth, swallowing up this Phedea in an instant.
