Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

When Bai Yao opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the sunlight pouring in from the window.

Prince is still sleeping next to her because he played too late last night. Bai Yao made him understand the meaning of "the land that can't be plowed, but the cattle that can't be plowed". He is still soft now. He was lying on the bed like a puddle of mud, making no movement.

Bai Yao was careful not to wake him up. She got out of bed and saw the familiar scene outside the window. Garm wanted to order something to eat, but Anna and Langdon quickly dragged him away. The sound of wind in the forest mixed with the sounds of small animals. Together, they form another beautiful morning in the quiet forest.

The white tower standing in the distance still towers into the clouds. Everyone who steps into the Silent Forest can see its existence, but they can also clearly realize that it is so far out of reach.

Nothing has changed.

Even though she thought she could stop Gerald from leaving the tower and change his fate, in the end, nothing changed.

Bai Yao turned around and looked at the peaceful sleeping figure on the bed, but there was no human-shaped black substance. Even if a ray of sunlight fell on his body, it could not give him any bright color.

He has no face and no normal body. He should not have such an ending after being used as a puppet his entire life.

Bai Yao looked at the White Tower outside the window again and made an impulsive decision.

A seemingly ordinary stream, with glimmering water, fish and rocks on the clear water bottom are clearly visible, and the floating ripples faintly reflect the figures of people who come to the stream.

Bai Yao stared at the scenery on the other side of the stream and realized that the scenery on the other side of the stream was roughly the same as where she was. It was as if the water light was like a mirror. It was unclear which side of the scenery was the illusory mirror image. .

She said: "Anna, you said there would be a prince in the story, right?"

Anna, who was hiding behind the stone, couldn't figure out how she was discovered. She stood up, cleared her throat awkwardly, and said, "Yes, the prince in the story will find the princess in the tower."

Bai Yao was sure of something. She took off her shoes, lifted them up with one hand and her skirt with the other, and stepped forward into the stream.

At this moment, Anna truly admired Bai Yao's extraordinary decisiveness.

The Forest of Silence is a place full of magical power, and all the unreasonable things that happen here are the most ordinary things.

Twenty years ago, there would always be mercenaries who were deceived by greed and would cross the stream and become delicacies to the forest residents twenty years later.

Naturally, not all people can cross the stream. If a person exists twenty years later, then the person twenty years ago will not be able to cross the stream, and vice versa.

Anna is the first resident of the forest. She has seen a lot of blood and war brought by humans. In the face of power and wealth, even relatives can turn against each other, so there is something about paying the price of "sincerity" and crossing the stream. Arriving at a world where "oneself" exists has never happened.

No, you can't say it never happened.

Anna sat on the bank, holding an umbrella to block the sun above her head, watching Bai Yao fail to cross the stream again and again, and then run back and run over again.

Bai Yao has failed so many times, she probably hasn't counted it herself. But every time she stands on the other side of the same space as Anna, she knows that she has failed. She doesn't take the time to think about it, so she starts over. once.

Anna still remembered that twenty years ago, she did see a woman whose clothes were stained by water outside the white tower.

She took out the fairy tale book in her bag. It was written in the story that when the wish is strong enough, the "world" will respond "sincerely" and then send the "prince" to the "princess".

Anna felt the vibration in the air, and she quickly raised her head.

Bai Yao's figure running forward in the stream staggered, and then she disappeared in a gust of wind.

Anna stood up and jumped excitedly, "Ah - it turns out that the legend in the story that true love can defeat everything is true!"

But after a few seconds of excitement, she regained her composure and let out a long sigh, "But I don't know how the next plot will develop."

Bai Yao heard the sound of wind, but the rustling of leaves in the forest became farther and farther away, and the next second, the sound of wind stopped.

She looked up and found herself standing in a forest.

Next to her feet was a tree stump, which she had accidentally bumped into before. She still remembered that someone had carved a crooked little flower pattern on it. This stump also had a pattern on it, but the difference was that this one The pattern of the small flower has not been affected by the wind and rain, and it seems to be blooming brightly.

Bai Yao quickly put on her shoes. She didn't pay attention to her skirt that was soaked in water, and ran towards the direction of the white tower.

She ignored the gold and silver jewels piled on the ground, and turned a deaf ear to the faint temptation in the air that she could stay young forever as long as she gave up her soul. When the wild beasts appeared in the forest and ran out to block the way, she pulled out her hand. He took up the long sword that someone left on the ground to defend himself.

The Sword of Dawn, which originally belonged to the brave man, emitted a dazzling golden light. The beasts were afraid of the light and retreated one by one.

So, the girl holding the long sword moved forward again. She bypassed the swamp, cut off the vines of the piranha, and then split the thorny road. After spending a day and a night, she arrived at the pure mountain covered with dust. In front of the white tower.

She made so much noise that the little girl in a red dress who was sitting on a rock not far away drawing fairy tales was startled and almost fell off the rock.

That was a woman who was different from the inhabitants of the empire and any elf.

She has long hair like black satin, eyes like black gems, delicate facial features that don’t give people as sharp a feeling as the locals, white skin that is better than the flawless snow-capped mountains on the plateau, and beautiful red lips. A delicate rose.

She was holding a long sword, but she didn't have a strong physique like a female warrior. Her wrists and fingers were so slender, and under her soaked skirt, her ankles were so thin that they looked like they could break with a twist.

Of course she is beautiful.

But in a forest full of monsters, being beautiful will never be the reason why she receives preferential treatment or is the reason why she can survive.

But she made it here alive, even though the green skirt she wore was "scarred", implying how many wounds she had suffered along the way. She looked miserable but full of energy, and she did reach the white tower.

The black-haired woman in the green skirt raised her head, her beautiful black eyes staring fiercely at the white tower in front of her.
