I didn't expect to see Qining's pets here at all. The last time I saw them was in Guangyuan Mountain. They followed Qining and entered the entrance to the other world in Guangyuan Mountain. Then, I personally eliminated that entrance and exit. Guangyuan Mountain Ghost also died in Ye Qing's hands.

I'm surprised they're still alive.

They seemed to have found Qi Ning and were chasing Qi Ning, which surprised me even more.

I looked at the chain in my hand and realized I might have a clue.

There are also chains extending from my body, but I know that the other end of the chain is connected to my body. The chain is not broken, but the other end of the chain cannot be seen. Ye Qing... is probably still alive. Maybe still using my body. To be more precise, it may be that I am still protecting my body.

I try to think this way, but this idea is not too strong.

Before I came here, I lost all my friends and family. At most, I knew that Ye Qing's ghost still existed.

What is connected to the chain on Qining's body?

I remember that his body and soul arrived in the future world together, and what was left in the real world were just a few relics and his little pets.

Could it be that he was also an ability user and his ability was borrowed by Ye Qing?

It should...not be like that.

My gut feeling is not that.

After tightening the chain and hearing the shaking sound of the chain, I found that the roar of beasts in this world disappeared. The roar that almost filled the entire world was gone without even realizing it. The world quieted down.

I can still hear the sound of flames burning and people crying, but the roar of the monster has indeed disappeared.

Qining's pet still recognizes me and barks beside me, urging me to move forward quickly.

They are domestic pets, and they are spiritual. They have had a fate with me before, so it is normal for them to ask me for help. However, they are not human after all, and there is no way to explain to me what happened.

In my memory, Qining’s pets included cats, dogs, and birds, and there were quite a few of them. But now there is only one parrot, two dogs, and one cat, and the number has decreased significantly.

"You..." I was about to ask, but then I came back to my senses.

They cannot answer such complex questions.

"Qining, Qining..." The parrot was still screaming, spinning anxiously in front of me.

"Yeah, I understand. Let's go this way, right?" I pointed to the direction where the chain extended, and it was floating on the ground.

Several pets felt relieved and ran after me.

The name Qining crossed my mind, but I had no impression of his appearance. Then, someone I still remember emerged.

Qin Shu, Xu Jiu...the two of them were taken away by the courier ghost, and they should be delivered to the ghost king. They... were probably a way out for the Ghost King to find during the fusion of the two worlds. After all, he is a capable person...

Maybe Huan Guang and Bai An are also alive and were sent here.

As I was thinking about it, a memory suddenly came to me.

That's what I saw in my dream.

Countless ghosts gathered in the Sixth Village of Workers and Peasants, and countless ghosts were sucked into the entrances and exits of different spaces in the Sixth Village of Workers and Peasants. Even I almost got caught. It was Ye Qing who saved me at that time.

Also, in Yangshan District, a huge black hole covered the sky, and countless people were sucked into it. That time it was a living person.

I haven't thought deeply about these two things. Now that I suddenly think about it, I have huge doubts in my heart.

Woof woof woof!

The two dogs yelled and sprinted.

I saw the city ahead.

That shouldn't be called a city, but a city.

The city wall with its vicissitudes of history is ten meters high. Surrounded by it, you can still see the ancient palace in the distance. These are purely oriental buildings.

A large hole opened in the city, revealing the buildings inside. Not all of them are ancient buildings, and there are no palaces in sight. Standing here and looking at it at a glance, you can only see some two or three-story bungalows, which are neat and completely modern buildings.

It was also at this time that I realized that the road I was walking on was still a highway, but it was completely damaged and there was no trace of the highway at all.

The surrounding hills make this section of road look like an unpaved dirt road.

Gravel, sand, fallen trees...

All of these extend out, passing through the large farmland in front, to the city and bungalows that should not be destroyed.

This trace was undoubtedly left by a monster.

I soon came to a large field of farmland.

I saw a series of greenhouses.

It is also winter here, which is no different from the Minqing season.

The only thing different from Minqing is the city not far away...

There is no such building in Minqing, but...

I stopped and couldn't help but look back.

Those pets screamed, but I was still staring at the destroyed highway behind me.

Surrounded by mountains…

This is the view that I finally saw after traveling for a long time.

Before that, when I just passed through the entrance and exit of the different space, what I saw was the city in ruins.

Two seats...

One of them...

I vaguely saw the collapsed bell tower there.

Is it what I think?

Is my memory wrong?

Or is it a coincidence? Did I think too much and twist my guesses into memories?

"Qining, Qining!" the parrot urged, landing on my shoulder.

They are already ghosts, tireless.

"...Minqing?" I asked tentatively.

The parrot tilted its head to look at me, flew up, held my hair in its mouth, and pulled me towards the city.

Two dogs also gathered around him. There was also the cat lying on the dog's back, meowing at me.

I had to give up for the time being and turn around obediently.

I just took two steps and said to the parrot flying in front of me: "Yangshan? Yangshan District?"

The parrot flapped its wings, looked back at me, and then looked behind me.

"Yangshan District? Where?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Qining! Qining!" the parrot cried and continued to fly forward.

I'm not sure anymore.

I looked at the sky.

No matter what, I have to find an entrance to a different space here.

No, one is not enough.

I thought of the two huge black holes in Yangshan District.

That was without a doubt the largest entrance or exit I had ever seen.

They should be here.

I felt the chain in my hand tighten a little, and the main trunk of the chain I saw in my eyes was also thickening visibly.

This change made me listen.

I looked at the destroyed city again.

The chain in front of me... is really too thick.

It has evolved from being something I can wrap around with one hand to one that requires me to stretch out both hands to hug it.

It has also become more transparent than before.

The pets became more and more anxious and started to move their mouths directly, pulling me and urging me to move forward.

I was pulled by them and didn't resist, but I didn't walk on my own anymore.

I heard breathing.

The sound of breathing should be said to be weak, but it was also frighteningly loud.

I seemed to have a strange feeling of breathing directly on my face.

After passing a big hole in the city, passing by the flattened bungalows, I turned a corner and saw a huge pit with a diameter of 20 meters. Further forward, there was another row of rickety buildings.

There is no one left in this city.

There was only the sound of breathing, which started over and over again irregularly.

The excited pet threw me down and climbed directly over the two-meter-high pile of rubble in front of me.

"Qining, Qining!"

Woof woof woof!

Meow meow meow!

I held on to the thick chain and slowly floated up.

Looking across the rubble, I saw a lot of blood and the... monster lying on the ground.
