National Games: Zhongli at the beginning, the sense of security is full

"Go in."

Jiang Yuan heard the first words spoken by the organization members who brought them here.

This may also be the last sentence.

Because they were pushed by the huge force behind them and plunged into the huge mouth of the giant beast in front, which was hundreds of meters high.

Jiang Yuan's eyes were once again covered in darkness.

This left him not knowing what to say, and he had fallen into darkness more than once recently.

He subconsciously clenched his hand, but found that his hand was empty.

"Pamon? Thunderhammer?"

He couldn't help but make a sound. The sound seemed to spread far away, and there was an echo in his ears.

No one responded.

Without having time to think too much about his settings when he came undercover, Jiang Yuan subconsciously activated his purifying energy to open his elemental vision to observe his environment.

Unexpectedly, his body was empty, with no energy at all.

Not only the purifying energy and demonic energy, but also the elemental power from Teyvat, illusion energy, and the energy from friends.

"System?" He shouted in his mind.

The familiar mechanical sound did not appear either.

What is going on? Is it an emergency, or has the organization done something to him?

Jiang Yuan didn't know.

He stood there and waited for a moment, but did not wait for a change, so he took a deep breath and started walking forward.

Because he didn't think he would know the truth if he stood where he was.

Not long ago, he was thinking that it must be a lonely scene to be alone in the dark without anyone to accompany you.

At this moment, he experienced it personally.

In the darkness, no light could be seen, and no unusual sounds could be heard.

Only the sound of his own footsteps echoed emptyly.

The only thing that gave him a sense of reality was the flat ground.

Lonely? Jiang Yuan thought for a while and felt it was okay.

I don't know how long it took.

He heard his own heartbeat in the darkness.

A glimmer of light that was extremely bleak but could be grasped in the darkness appeared before our eyes.

Jiang Yuan started running.

The footsteps were getting faster and faster, and Jiang Yuan didn't know how long he had been running.

Until he approached the light ahead.

It turned out to be a door that was glowing with light.

The light door opened, waiting for him to walk out.

The moment before taking steps, Jiang Yuan hesitated.

No one around him could speak, which caused him to have random thoughts in his mind while running.

It's like he was wondering if the current situation was caused by the organization's so-called big boss.

So, could the light door in front of him be a test, to test whether he really wants to stay in the organization or is he just pretending?

Or was it possible that Paimon and Thunderhammer were also in the darkness, but he just didn't find them?

"Aren't you planning to go out?"

A misty voice came from the light door.

Jiang Yuan, who was hesitating, put his foot down instead.

Generally speaking, when you encounter something that makes a sound, the other party will use it to confuse people's hearts.

It seems like this is indeed a test, right?

"You can't leave until you leave," the voice continued.

"Where are my companions?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Your companion? You are the only one in this eternal darkness." The voice replied, "If you don't leave in time, you will be swallowed by the darkness."

Is that right?

Jiang Yuan had to admit that his brain was not good enough.

At least he couldn't tell whether a door's words were true or false.

"So, you're here to help me?"

"Yes, I am a helpful door. I sensed that you were in danger of falling into darkness and came to help you."

Jiang Yuan combined his own past and the experience of multiple novels and believed that the door was false.

"Hurry!" The voice couldn't remember, "Darkness is about to cover us!"

The urgency in Guangmen's tone was very real.

"No need." Jiang Yuan slowly shook his head, "Thank you, I plan to wait."

Darkness must refer to demonic energy.

Even though there is no energy in his body, Jiang Yuan's body has a certain strength.

For example, he could sense what was filling this darkness.

It's magic.

Thinking that he has the identity of a young master of the demon clan, Jiang Yuan is not so afraid of what may happen next.

"You! Oh, well, I knew there would be people who thought they could withstand the darkness," Guangmen sighed, "I have indeed met people who can withstand the darkness. I hope you are next."

Without waiting for Jiang Yuan to ask, this helpful door quickly told Jiang Yuan goodbye and then disappeared.

"Well the darkness is coming. Good luck to you. I'll be back looking for you when I get the chance. Goodbye!"

The only light is gone.

The attitude of rejecting the light door was very firm. The moment the light disappeared, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but breathe faster.

He felt it.

There was something invisible covering behind me.

……

Suffocation.

This was Jiang Yuan's first reaction after regaining consciousness.

What seemed to be ropes were tightly wrapped around his body, squeezing his chest and making his breathing particularly difficult.

The moment darkness covered his body, he lost consciousness.

A soft voice echoed in my ears.

"My child, you are finally back."

"Sleep, sleep, stay in my arms, sleep."

That voice was inexplicably loving.

"You are still just a young baby!"

Childish baby... Jiang Yuan had goosebumps all over his body.

Is it him who said this? It has been living in memory for decades. He who is actually only older?

He could imagine that Paimon would have laughed out loud when someone said that to him, and would have passed the statement on to everyone he knew, and would have had fun with it for at least a few years.

Shivering, Jiang Yuan opened his eyes.

What caught my eyes... was still darkness.

Darkness is everywhere.

Different from being pushed into the mouth of the giant beast just now, Jiang Yuan felt something -

Something was watching him, with a tolerant gaze.

"You are awake, my child."

That look could very well be the owner of the voice.

Jiang Yuan guessed.

He tried to open his mouth.

He couldn't open his mouth, and even his face was wrapped with ropes.

"It's me, kid," the voice said. "Don't even think about opening your mouth. I know what you want to say."

"You want to leave me, don't you?"

Jiang Yuan's tone became intense when he heard the voice.

"You know, I can't refuse your request. As long as you open your mouth and speak to me, I will let you go."

"So, I won't let you speak."

"You need to grow up beside me until you become me, my child."

Jiang Yuan thought to himself, "I don't know anything."

"Yes! You don't know anything!"

"That shameless thief, he stole you from me!"

"I will definitely catch him and let him be punished as he deserves!"

Jiang Yuan remembered.

This scene was not his first experience, and neither was this sound.

As early as the time when he participated in the battlefield of the National Games, he encountered it once.

It was Paimon who woke him up at that time.
