The Midnight Owl

Chapter 106: Outer Chapter - Moonlight Forest (Part 1)

Views:

There is never a day in Moonlight Forest.

The grass and trees rely on the moonlight, dew, and the breeze to grow lush branches and large leaves. They surround each other and cover each other, making this place deeper and quieter.

Deep in the forest, a maze of boulders.

In the zigzag labyrinth, there is an unremarkable straight labyrinth road, a young man in yellow is riding a skateboard, sliding back and forth. His speed is very fast, but the road is not long, so the speed has not yet picked up, and he has come to the end of the corner, so he can only volley, turn around, land lightly, and then slide back the same way.

Why do you have to stubbornly stay on this road, turn a corner and keep going forward

Such a question never appeared in Xiao Huang's heart.

Tired from sliding, the panting Xiao Huang leaned against the corner of the labyrinth wall, sat down, and rested. His chest rose and fell with the rapid breathing, but his heart was quiet.

He could hear the dew and smell the grass, which made him very comfortable.

"Lost, why haven't you shown up yet..." He looked at the moon and sighed faintly. If you have to give such a perfect time and pick flaws, this is it.

It is his task to test the lost. Those who pass the test will show the way, and those who fail will be sent away.

It's his favorite thing to do, even more so than skateboarding.

But when will he meet the lost, he doesn't know.

All he knew was that they would come.

At this moment, it is 22:30 Beijing time, but Xiao Huang does not know.

There is no time in the Moonlight Labyrinth.

Inadvertently, he saw what seemed to be something on the ground in the distance.

Xiao Huang got up naturally, walked over and bent over to pick it up.

A small card with words on it.

Xiao Huang frowned and muttered: "One, why are you here... Two, is it your job here... or your mission? Three, have you ever thought about what the outside world is like... "

Xiao Huang has no desire to explore these questions. On the contrary, he is more curious about where the cards came from.

There should not be such a thing in the land he guards.

But in the end, he didn't come up with a reason.

"What the hell." Xiao Huang gave up quickly and put the card in his pocket.

But the next second, he was stunned, his hand still in his pocket suddenly touched it twice, and finally took out the card from his pocket.

two.

He even had a card in his pocket!

Xiao Huang held up the two small cards side by side, and by the moonlight, the front and back sides could be compared. After tossing for a while, they confirmed that they were exactly the same.

"Damn, isn't it..."

Goosebumps all over his body, and many horror movies flashed in his mind. He didn't remember where he watched it, but he knew one thing clearly, he was afraid of ghosts!

A card appeared out of thin air, and then I happened to have one in my pocket, and the cards were all printed with strange questions. Isn't this the beginning of a horror movie!

rustling.

rustling.

There was a strange sound in my ear, like a worm was afraid, or... a ghost was floating.

Very good, the sound is also on top.

Xiao Huang wanted to cry, exhausted all his courage, and finally turned his stiff neck slightly to the side.

Several sturdy vines are crawling along the walls of the labyrinth.

They seem to have grown wildly from the corner, attacking all the way, and now, they have reached him.

Xiao Huang is not afraid of plants, even if it is a monster-like plant, so he is not so afraid, but has some excitement.

Cards, vines, is this the "pre-war temptation" of the lost people using stationery to explore the way

Just thinking about it, the vine plant seemed to sense something. The vine that was originally attached to the wall of the maze suddenly lifted its end and attacked Xiao Huang fiercely!

Xiao Huang was startled and instinctively retreated!

The vines fluttered in the air, but did not shrink back, but swayed left and right, like a pathfinder, the next moment locked on Xiao Huang again, coming at a high speed!

"You think I'm afraid of you!" Xiao Huang was annoyed, he shoved the card into his pocket, reached out and grabbed the vine, pulled it hard, waited until the vine was firmly wrapped around his arm, and pulled back with all his might!

If the end of the vine takes root on the ground, he will uproot it; if there is a lost person at the end, he will shove the person in front of him!

Thinking of this, he pushed harder.

The vines did not show weakness, and used themselves to compete with him.

Agitated, he didn't notice that a vine was quietly coming along the bottom of the labyrinth wall on the other side.

Until the vines under his feet suddenly jumped up and tightly wrapped around his waist!

Xiao Huang only felt his body light up, and his whole body had been swept up by the vines!

As the world was spinning, the vines began to retract very quickly, like a rubber band that had been pulled to the extreme and suddenly loosened, wrapping Xiao Huang and instantly passing the corner, reaching the next road, turning the corner, and then the next road!

"You let go-cough-cough-I-" Xiao Huang shouted furiously, but the speed of the vines retracting was swift, and when he opened his mouth, he was choked by the extremely fast airflow, and later, his throat filled with wind, Can't make a sound.

But he can't leave his way! ! !

Everything happened too fast and too weird. At this time, he remembered to use stationery, but he had just selected the weapon that could turn the wind into a blade, and before it was used, the vine suddenly stopped, and as soon as it loosened, he fell to the ground and fell. A solid.

In the middle of nowhere, I heard a lively and crisp voice: "Why are you on my vine?"

Lively is lively, crisp is crisp, is full of disgust.

Xiao Huang looked up and saw a girl in a white princess dress sitting on the leaf of a tall plant. Her face was pink and jade, her lips were red and her teeth were white, especially her big black eyes, bright and agile.

Xiao Huang's heart skipped a beat, and he forgot to get up. He fell to the ground and asked in a daze, "Girl, what's your name?"

"I asked you first." The girl frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Xiao Huang." The young man sitting on the ground reported his name at almost the speed of light.

"Who asked your name!" The girl was inexplicable, "I asked why you were on my vine!"

"Oh," Xiao Huang finally came back to his senses, and said, "It brought me here."

The anger brewing along the way has long since disappeared, and now Xiao Huang has zero fighting power, and his heart is full of love and peace.

"How is that possible!" The girl directly denied it, "I asked the vines to chase what was blown away by the wind, how could it involve you?"

Xiao Huang was stunned, and after a while, he took out two cards from his pocket: "This is what you're after?"

The blade holding the girl suddenly drooped down. The girl slipped lightly and landed in front of Xiao Huang. She grabbed the two cards, looked left and right, and said blankly, "How come there are two?"

"One is mine," Xiao Huang explained.

The girl looked at him suspiciously: "Why do you have it?"

Xiao Huang sighed: "I want to know too."

The girl was surprised: "You don't know either?"

"..." Xiao Huang always felt that the conversation between him and the other party was strange. Who knows? Who doesn't know? Still no one knows? why is it so messy...

"Forget it, leave this alone." The girl kept one for herself, returned the other to Xiao Huang, jumped back, sat on the blade again, and rose into the air, "Let's start."

Xiao Huang hesitated and did not move. For the first time, he had the idea of not wanting to fight with the lost.

He hasn't even asked his name yet!

After a thousand turns, he looked around subconsciously, and suddenly realized that this was not the place he should protect!

Finally got a legitimate reason not to fight, which made Xiao Huang overjoyed. He immediately raised his head and wanted to make peace with the other party. Suddenly, he found that the girl had an umbrella in her hand.

The umbrella is cute and retro, making the girl more like a doll.

Xiao Huang couldn't help but said: "You are so cute."

The girl blinked her eyes in a daze, and her face became even more puffy. Instead of being shy, she looked at him generously and asked, "Really?"

Xiao Huang nodded vigorously, especially sincere: "Really."

The girl smiled happily, her eyebrows curved like a crescent moon: "My name is Xiaobai."

In this smile, Xiao Huang lost his mind: "Well, actually, I have a skateboard," he organized the language a little crampedly, "It's just in my way, it's very interesting to skate, you, you can use vines to make me Send it back, and I'll take it and teach you..."

"Don't fight," the girl on the leaf obviously didn't listen to him at all. After she was happy, she sent an invitation, "Xiao Bai is in a good mood, let's play games!"

Xiao Huang was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

As soon as there was a questioning sound, a strong light flashed in the field of vision. Xiao Huang subconsciously closed his eyes, opened them again, and came to a strange bedroom full of dolls.

A doll, like Xiaobai, is pleasing to the eye.

Overwhelmed with dolls, Xiao Huang felt like he was suffocating.

No, no, Xiao Huang touched his throat and felt it getting tighter and tighter... He was really suffocating!

The vision gradually blurred, Xiao Huang squatted down in pain, his head also began to ache, and large beads of sweat came out.

He has a strong feeling that this is not the place for him! Just like fish can't come ashore, and birds can't sink into the water!

"Welcome... to... Xiaobai's... room... "

Indistinctly, I heard Xiao Bai's voice, but it was distant and vague, and it was almost broken when I heard it in my ears.

Xiao Huang took a deep breath, but his chest was getting tighter and tighter...

"Little... Huang...?"

Xiaobai seemed to have noticed something strange, and the distant voice became puzzled.

"Let me... get out..." Xiao Huang used all his strength to squeeze out these words, but his voice was pitifully small.

The chest was so tight that it was about to explode, and the pain in the head was piercing.

The doll house vibrated suddenly, and the dolls crashed down!

Xiaobai was startled. Not only did she see Xiao Huang's strangeness and the shaking of the doll's house, she also felt a violent and unprecedented force that was hitting her whole body, her heart, and her brain. !

When she communicated with her plants, she also had a similar vibration.

But those were very weak, like two people were talking below, and now, she clearly felt Xiao Huang's confusion and pain. She even heard the other person shout in her brain - let me out!

Xiaobai closed his eyes slightly, and the doll house disappeared in an instant!

Xiao Huang squatted on the ground, breathing hard. The pain is gone, but the damage caused will take time to heal.

Xiaobai felt a little uneasy. She chose to play games with him, just because she didn't want to hurt him, but how could this happen

"You're so strange," Xiao Bai felt a little sorry and puzzled, she slid down the green leaves, came to him silently, squatted down together, and muttered softly, "Everyone else is fine."

Xiao Huang turned his head to look at her with some difficulty, and said aggrieved: "You are strange, other lost people use stationery, what doll do you use..."

Xiaobai tilted his head in confusion and corrected: "I'm not lost."

Xiao Huang was caught off guard, stupid: "Huh?"

Xiaobai pouted unhappily, the game didn't work, and the doll house was disliked. It was a really bad day.

She stood up, took two steps back angrily, and stopped putting on the blades, and declared war on Xiao Huang face to face: "You have lost the qualification to play the game. If you want me to show the way, let the horse come over!"

Xiao Huang was at a loss: "Why should I ask you to show me the way?"

Xiaobai glared at him. It was the first time he saw someone who spoke so hard: "You are a lost person, aren't you going to find a way?"

Xiao Huang shook his head: "I'm not lost either."

Xiaobai's brain was completely blank, and after a long time, he asked, "Then who are you?"

Xiao Huang stood up: "Pathkeeper."

Xiaobai said blankly, "Me too."

Looking at each other silently, there are mistakes, shocks, and a little bit of happiness.

They always thought that they were the only passers-by here, and they never knew that there were companions.
