Ji Ning's consciousness was plunged into darkness, and his ears were ringing with overlapping calls. These calls were not from the same person, nor from the same language. They were male and female, some old and some immature, mixed with beasts. There were even many voices that Ji Ning couldn't understand.
They were all calling out his name, like weeping, like whining, resentful, like crying blood, Ji Ning felt resistance and a chill in her heart, but she couldn't help being attracted by the sound of calling. mind.
He took a step forward, but suddenly felt his body fall down, as if he fell into the abyss with one foot, and kept falling downwards, and many blurry pictures flashed through the darkness in front of him.
The picture is also boundless darkness, with only dozens of white candles burning with azure light, covering the surroundings with a faint light blue, vaguely illuminating a huge altar of white bones.
Beneath the altar made of skeletons, there were also white bones like mountains and seas, both humans and beasts. These skeletons trembled slightly and made a vague humming sound. After listening for a long time, Ji Ning realized that these sounds were unexpectedly high. It was the voice calling his name just now.
He continued to fall down, and the picture flashed for a moment, changing to the center of the altar. In a dark blue candlelight, there was a silver-haired man sitting.
The man was dressed in black clothes, his shoulders were scattered like waterfalls of silver hair, his appearance was cold and handsome, his eyes were dark and deep, as quiet as a deep pool, with a chilling and stern aura, he sat on top of the heavy bones, just one more glance was enough. Makes people sweat.
When Ji Ning first saw him, he felt a little bit of a heartbeat, but when he looked more closely, he suddenly felt a bit inexplicably familiar.
But before he could fully recall it, the silver-haired man seemed to have noticed something. He suddenly raised his head and swept his stern gaze towards Ji Ning. But the next moment the scene disappeared like mist. The figure of the man disappeared. Ning is still falling.
I don't know how long it took to fall, he finally stopped and fell into a piece of white bone, but his body was as light as a cloud of mist, not touching even the smallest bones.
It was still the same altar, the difference was that Ji Ning seemed to be looking at the flashing pictures before, but this time he really entered the range of the altar.
An inexplicable force drove him to the altar. This time, the silver-haired man was not here. Instead, a fiery red figure lay quietly in the center of the altar, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
Ji Ning was uncontrollably attracted by the shadow and walked over slowly. Then he lowered his head, and by the candlelight, he could see the figure clearly.
Lying in the altar was a young man. The young man was wearing a bright red wedding dress, with beautiful eyebrows, but his face was bloodless and lifeless.
He had a face that was exactly the same as Ji Ning's.
…
At the celebration feast after the movie was finished, Ji Ning, who took a sip of wine, was so strong that the wine glass fell from his hand and was about to fall.
Seeing that he was unsteady, Gu Chen hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, but one step ahead of him, Herinos had already embraced Ji Ning and looked down at the person in his arms with concern.
Ji Ning collapsed suddenly, which startled the director. He thought it was because he was injured before and what was wrong now, so he quickly asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Ji?"
"He's fine."
Herinos stroked Ji Ning's blushing face lightly, looked at it for a few seconds, then said with a slight smile, "He's just drunk."
"yes?"
The director couldn't believe it. After all, Ji Ning didn't look like drinking just now. It was better to say that he dipped his lips in some liquor and just got drunk.
But since it was said by Ji Ning's friend, the director had no reason not to believe it, so he smiled and said, "Then you have to help him to rest there for a while. Do you want me to ask someone to help you?"
Herinos smiled and was about to decline his proposal, but Gu Chen smiled and said, "I'll help, okay?"
"..." Herinos glanced at him silently, then raised his eyebrows suddenly, as if thinking of something, he acquiesced to Gu Chen's suggestion, the two of them held Ji Ning's arm and led him to the rest area.
The rest area and the dining area are connected, separated by elegant potted plants, and there are many sofas and coffee tables. Although the dining area there is very lively, the floor of the rest area is equipped with sound-absorbing devices, which makes it seem much quieter and quieter.
"Let him go."
Herinos helped Ji Ning on the sofa, made him lean on the backrest and half-sit down, and carefully adjusted his posture so that he could sleep more comfortably.
After setting up Ji Ning, Herinos also sat down next to him, with his long legs crossed, sitting in a relaxed yet elegant posture. Obviously, he had no intention of returning to the crew.
Gu Chen stood there and looked at them, as if he didn't intend to leave immediately, Herinos gave him a sideways glance, curled his lips, and said lightly, "It's enough for me to watch Xiaoning here, you can go back. already."
"Senior seems to have a good relationship with Mr. Herinos."
Gu Chen didn't seem to care about his indifference. He still maintained a gentle attitude. He smiled and said, "You guys should be friends who have known each other for a long time?"
"What do you want to say?" Herinos asked with a half-smile.
"I'm just envious." Gu Chen said, "Because I also want to become good friends with Senior Ji Ning."
Herinos' eyes sank slightly.
There was no smile on his face. Instead, there was a cold indifference and a high-level scrutiny. He looked at Gu Chen without saying a word. After a while, he chuckled and responded, "What you said was very direct."
"So I hope to get along well with you, because you are a friend of the senior." Gu Chen said, "I wonder what you think?"
"Want to be friends with us? Yes."
Herinos smiled and seemed to be very talkative, but suddenly he changed the subject: "As long as you don't interfere with me."
As he said that, he suddenly leaned over to Ji Ning and placed a light kiss on his lips, then tilted his head and said to Gu Chen with a smile.
"Because I never wanted to be just his friend."
"do you understand?"
Gu Chen's pupils shrank suddenly.
…
When Ji Ning saw the young man lying on the altar with the exact same face as his, and the wedding dress, he was a little surprised at first, and then suddenly recalled who the silver-haired man was.
That man was Ying Qianqiu, the male protagonist of the fantasy world. The reason why Ji Ning didn't recognize him immediately was because when he met Ying Qianqiu, he was a young man, introverted and shy, and his hair was just ordinary. His black hair was completely different from what he is now, and has undergone earth-shaking changes.
If it wasn't for seeing this body in a red wedding dress, Ji Ning probably wouldn't be able to remember it for a while, but with this wedding dress, the reminder is obvious. After all, he only has contact in the world of Xuanhuan. The chance to get this kind of clothes - his status in this world is that of Ying Qianqiu's betrothed.
But how did this body come from, it should not exist...
Ji Ning was puzzled, because his ending in this world was as miserable as ever, and in the end he was directly smashed to ashes. Where did Ying Qianqiu get this body
[This is not a real body, it is made of materials unique to this world. 】
A cold male voice suddenly echoed in Ji Ning's mind, it was the "future" of the system.
It's very rare for him to take the initiative to talk to Ji Ning. It's all very important, so Ji Ning immediately asked, "What happened?"
[Your soul is in a delicate state, because Ying Qianqiu held a blood sacrifice ritual for you, and part of your soul was attracted by the ritual, so you appeared here. 】
"You mean summoning the soul?" Ji Ning was stunned, "So that means this is Ying Qianqiu's world?"
[Yes, Ying Qianqiu's world is also merging with Gu Chen's world, and the universes of the two worlds have merged and become an intercommunication existence. 】Future said, 【Ying Qianqiu's soul-calling ceremony is effective because of this, but it is not stable. 】
"How will it affect me?" Ji Ning always only asked the key points.
[In the worst case, your soul will be split, two you will exist in two worlds at the same time, and you may lose your mind due to the split of your soul. 】
Future Road: [In special circumstances, I can apply to your superiors to restore your soul, and the probability of soul splitting is very low. You will most likely encounter a situation where consciousness alternates between two worlds. 】
[You can't go back now. In addition, the soul will quickly become very weak without the protection of the body for a long time, and even dissipate. I hope you can find a body as soon as possible. 】
"I understand."
Ji Ning nodded, but he didn't panic. The body wasn't right in front of him, as long as he used the body that Ying Qianqiu had prepared. As for how to deal with Qianqiu, that would be something to consider later. , he believes he can still handle it.
Before they exchanged a few words, Ji Ning realized that her fingers had become a little more transparent, allowing the future to take the initiative to find him. It was indeed a very critical matter. The speed at which the soul weakened was really worrying. .
The method of returning the soul to the body, Ji Ning knew, was actually very simple. It was enough to imagine himself getting into the bed. However, when he tried to put his hand into this body, he found that he couldn't get in at all. It was rejecting his soul.
[This body has not yet completed its final shaping, and you cannot use it. 】Future said, 【You need to find a new body immediately. 】
"Next time, you should say it first!"
After hearing this, Ning turned around and ran off the altar of bones, trying to find a suitable body in this huge flash of darkness, but most of the corpses on the ground had turned into skeletons. It was so corrupt that Ji Ning couldn't get in.
To make matters worse, this cave was extremely huge. Although the path was not complicated, Ji Ning was unable to get out after walking for a long time, and his soul became more and more transparent.
After running for a long time, he was already staggering and was about to be unable to support it, but at this moment, he suddenly found a complete corpse, a cub of a monster with white fur, cute in appearance, like a Fluffy puppy.
The current situation was no longer for Ji Ning to choose. He quickly put his finger on the white cub's body, and his whole soul was smoothly integrated into it.
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, and the tip of his nose smelled a faint rotten breath, which was emanating from the surrounding bones, but perhaps after special treatment, the smell was not strong, otherwise he would definitely be immediately arrested. Smoked out.
He looked down at his hands, and what caught his eye were two small white claws, stained with blood, and when he looked up, there were pink flesh pads.
It's better to leave this cave now...
Ji Ning used the cub's body to stand up staggeringly, trying his best to maintain his balance, but before he took a few steps, he fell to the ground and rolled out far away.
Ji Ning was rolled so badly that he almost vomited, but when he finally stopped rolling, he suddenly found a pair of feet in his sight.
A pair of feet in black boots.
