The beautiful boy who was reborn in the dark world of women

As the thorns stretched outward, like a blood-colored bud blooming, the thing in the cocoon appeared in the gaps between the vine spines.

The earth shook, and the thorn pillar that rose from the ground began to slowly sink, and the throne of thorns gradually descended to the ground.

The thorns on all sides began to droop silently, worshiping the supreme existence. The figure in the cocoon lowered his head, as if sleeping, holding a slender thorn staff in his hand. There was an evil blood-red flower on the top of the staff, a bit like the thorn badge on Ilandani's chest.

"Is this the Duke who rules over all peoples?"

Lor murmured, the figure on the seat was more like a mummy than a human, the skin was completely dry and bloodless, the skull was almost like a skeleton leaning against the thorns behind it, and there were even thorns growing out of the mouth of the skull.

If it weren't for the thorns that grew wildly from the corpse's bones and penetrated its body, fixing it to its thorn seat.

Lor had no doubt that the entire mummy would collapse to the ground and shatter into ashes in the next moment.

"It's already like this, are you still alive?"

Lor looked at the mummy. This was a world with extraordinary powers. Since Ilandani said that the Grand Duke was still alive, he'd better be careful.

Lor took off the pendant, held the crystal bottle in his hand, and walked towards the mummy step by step.

Until they arrived in front of the mummy, everything around them, including the thorns, remained silent.

Didn’t Irandani lie to herself?

At this point, all you have to do is unscrew the bottle cap and pour the water of the Styx on the mummy, and the mission seems to be complete.

But if it was so easy, why did Yilandani let him do it? Luo Er thought he was still somewhat likable to her, so why didn't she let any servant do it?

"Ms. Yasha, do you think I should do as Ilandani said…?"

Lor tried to turn to Yaksha for help in his heart, but his heart was dead silent and there was no response.

Lor's heart suddenly trembled. He raised his head and looked forward, but he met a pair of completely dark eyes.

"I've caught you..."

The mummy's vocal cords had been completely weathered, but they still made a sound like the friction of steel, and the terrifying laughter echoed in the air.

The thorns growing out of the skull's mouth came to life in an instant, spreading out like a python. The thorns from all directions surrounded Lor and the mummy, interweaving into a new cocoon.

Lor's figure was frozen in place. He only needed to unscrew the bottle cap in his hand and throw it at the other party to end the Grand Duke's life. However, at this moment, his consciousness was sinking in the whirlpool of the abyss, sinking and falling.

At the end of the darkness, Lor heard some strange sounds, like young buds breaking through the soil and spring rain submerging the earth.

……

"Wake up."

In a trance, Lor heard such a voice and slowly woke up from his deep sleep. He opened his tired and sleepy eyes, but his pretty little face was still filled with panic. Everything in his sight was blurred into spots of light.

Lor stared blankly ahead, his vision began to focus, but his eyes were still blank.

"What are you daydreaming about? Are you still asleep?"

Someone slapped him gently on the back of his head, and it felt like a caress. Lor turned around in a daze and saw the girl sitting at the back table with a gentle smile on her face.

Luo Er seemed a little dull, as if he still didn't understand the situation. He paused for a long time before his expression softened. He said uncertainly,

"I seem to have had a dream."

"Huh? Let's hear it."

The girl was in the mood.

"I'm not sure. The dream was a little strange...it seemed like the boys and girls were reversed."

"What's reversed?" the girl asked curiously when she heard this.

"Ah..." Lor shook his head vigorously, as if trying to make himself more awake. He looked at the girl's face.

That face seemed very familiar, like an old friend deep in my memory. Was it from my past life, or maybe this life?

But I couldn't pronounce her name.

Looking around, I found myself in a classroom during lunch break. White doves were flying outside the window. The sun was shining brightly in the lazy afternoon, and the trees were swaying. Everything was peaceful, warm and beautiful.

"Lore."

I vaguely seemed to hear someone calling my name, but it seemed like I had misheard.

Seeing that Lor was distracted, the girl raised her hand and flicked his forehead angrily. Being teased like this, Lor raised his hand to resist a little angrily, and started playing with the girl, even forgetting the call just now.

The two seemed very close, as close as a couple, and in this classroom with only the two of them, their feelings quickly heated up.

The girl's eyes were slightly narrowed, like a lazy kitten in the sun. Her innocent look made Lor's heart beat fast. She was so cute and charming, even the sunlight shining through the shade of the trees and falling on her face were shining brightly.

Lor suddenly had an urge to kiss her.

So Lor leaned over, and the girl cooperated by closing her eyes and offering her cheek.

but……

Lor stopped and turned around to look at the empty classroom behind him. It seemed that someone was calling him in the shadows under the tables and chairs.

"what happened?"

The girl seemed a little angry because she couldn't wait for Lor's kiss, but she still smiled at Lor.

"I...I seem to have forgotten something." Lor muttered to himself, "Something...very important."

"Is there anything more important than you and me at this moment?" The girl seemed to be hinting at something. At this moment, the two people in love with each other were so peaceful and beautiful.

The girl hugged Lor gently and whispered in his ear,

“People can’t remember dreams.”

"Especially nightmares."

Lor smelled the refreshing fragrance coming from the girl, and his thoughts began to relax.

Yeah, maybe there’s no need to think too much, just enjoy the moment.

But then, he smelled a faint smell of blood on the girl.

Lor shuddered, and suddenly a chaotic scene flashed before his eyes, raging thorns, bloody jungle, and hideous mummies.

In an instant, the picture returned to normal. The girl behind him was cute and gentle, hugging him gently.

"Lore."

Hearing it again, that cry that seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, Luo Er lowered his head and looked at the shadow under his feet.

A picture was playing in the shadow. It was a picture of hell, with endless blood and fiery sacrifices, infinite suffering and helpless struggle. One was like a small boat in the sea, unable to control one's own sinking or floating.

The ugly and dirty demon in the shadow stretched out his dark palms and shouted his name.

That is another world, ten or a hundred times more cruel and insane than this world. You are helpless and have to try your best just to survive.

Is that true? Which side is true?

"As long as you stay here with me, everything here will be real."

As if knowing what Lor was thinking, the girl behind him spoke gently, her voice sweet, gently tickling her lover's heart.

It is so beautiful here, just like the afternoon sunshine. I have a lover, studies, a future and a life.

On the other hand, I have nothing, and the only one reaching out to me is the devil in the abyss.

Lor looked out the window. The afternoon sun had disappeared at some point, and the world fell into endless darkness. Only the girl behind him was emitting a soft and warm light.
