After spending a long time with Kuroro, we finally remembered the business.

Kuroro took a step back and carefully wiped the tears off my face with his sleeve.

"Found you." He said casually.

I couldn't do it with this sentence, my nose was sore and my heart was sore, I pursed my mouth tightly, and tears immediately came out again.

"Don't cry." Ku Luoluo said, in the eyes blurred by tears, I saw him looking at me intently, and said softly, "It's okay."

"Wow—" I threw myself on his shoulder and burst into tears.

Kuroro sighed in my ear, and his helpless look immediately appeared in my mind, and the bitterness was like honey mixed with it.

My crying is getting quieter.

"I've said it's all right." Kuroro patted me on the back reassuringly, seeing that I stopped crying, lowered his head and wiped away his tears aggrievedly, and said: "The clothes are not dirty on this journey, but you cry It's full of snot and tears."

"I'm sorry..." I subconsciously apologized.

Chrollo was visibly taken aback.

My heart was empty, and I looked up to find his black gentle eyes to feel relieved, but felt aggrieved, looked at him with tears in my mouth, choked up for a long time before saying: "Don't talk about me. You are the one, your hair is oily and smelly gone."

Kuroro said unhappy: "Then don't hug me."

"No." I hugged his hand tightly, bumped into his arms, tilted my head and kissed his cheek forcefully, and said delicately, "It's not dirty at all."

Kuroro frowned pretending to be disgusted and looked back.I quarreled with him a few times, and my mood became depressed again. I buried my face on the side of his neck and murmured: "I like everything about Kuroro."

Kuroro hugged my arm tightly, and suddenly said: "By the way, I almost forgot."

He pushed me away, and first kissed my cheek lightly, very perfunctorily, because he was afraid that I would make a fuss and insist on hugging me.Then he stood up straight, reached out his hand and took out something from his trouser pocket.

Kuroro spread his hands, a long thin platinum chain, inlaid with five blue gemstones of different sizes.Kuroro picked up the chain, unfolded it in front of me, and leaned over to fasten the two ends of the chain behind my neck.

That is a very delicate necklace.

I blankly let him put on the necklace for me. Five blue gemstones arranged in a staggered order are placed a little below the collarbone, which is light and beautiful.

Reunited after a long absence, he gave me a necklace as soon as I came up. This is obviously not Kuroro's style.

"What's so special about the necklace?" I asked him.

"This is a power stone jewelry, a specialty of the outer four districts." Ku Luoluo said, "The pollution over there is too serious, ordinary people do not have the protection of entanglements, and their bodies will suffer great harm, so this kind of props was created. After the qi of the capable user, it can simulate the entanglement outside the human body, isolating all kinds of pollution and radiation."

"It's amazing." I touched the necklace, "Is this what you said in your letter that you are ready? It's hard to make, right?" Such things are so delicate and beautiful. In other words, they are not practical enough. Arrived mass goods.

"It's okay." Kuroro said lightly, but instead he was worried about the color of the necklace: "When I found it, there was a red one, which looked better. But after being worn by others, I took the blue one."

"The blue one is also pretty." I smiled, "I like the blue one."

"Really? But when the gas inside is exhausted, I inject new ones, and it will turn purple," Kurolo said.

"Is it the color of reading?" I asked with interest.

"This energy stone has no color, and the color is determined by the injected Qi." Kuroro nodded and said, "You can see the color of my thoughts."

"Yeah." I looked at him with a smile and nodded vigorously.

Before we talked about the color of reading, I also regretted that I couldn't see Qi, and I couldn't see the purple color that Feitan said Kuroro "looks weird and difficult".

Unexpectedly, Kuroro still remembered.

"But I think ability immunity, is this okay?" I suddenly thought.

"It doesn't matter, just consume the qi inside first." Ku Luoluo said, "I will inject mine into you when you are about to reach the outer four districts. My thoughts shouldn't matter, right?"

"Of course." I smiled against him.

"Okay, let's go." Kuroro took my hand and walked in the direction he came from.

I pulled him with both hands, but didn't follow him. I stood where I was, and asked a little short of breath, "Well, are we in a hurry?"

"Don't worry." Kuroro said.He stopped and turned to me and asked, "Is there anything else you want?"

I bit my lower lip, turned sideways towards District Six, and said, "Then follow me to a place."

I was a little apprehensive at first, the cautious life of these days still left traces on me.But seeing Kuroro looking at me calmly and peacefully, I immediately regained my senses, took his hand and shook it, not worried that he would refuse.

Sure enough, Kuroro didn't ask why, and walked back to me naturally, facing the direction of the sixth district, and said in a relaxed tone: "Let's go. Where are you going?"

"In the sixth district."

So I pulled him and walked back to the iron gate of the sixth district, with an uneven arc at the corner of his mouth.

"I only received your letter before, and I can't tell you anything about my side." I said to Kuroro in a coquettish tone.

At first, I was only held by Kuroro with one hand, but later I pulled him with both hands. I still felt that it was not enough, and finally I simply hugged his arm and walked him crookedly.

Kuroro didn't think that I was falling on him and couldn't walk well, so he took half of my weight as if nothing had happened.

I walked slowly through the open space behind the iron gate with Kuroro on my arm, and walked along the reef path to the depths of District [-]. When I saw the familiar scenery around me, I felt a different feeling in my heart—if I had to describe it, That is probably because the liberated serfs sang, Xiaobaicai found her own mother, turned over and became the master.

I was next to Kuroro, and I talked to him about many previous experiences, and the tone can be understated.

"I jumped into the waterway at the beginning and walked a long way. When I got out and saw the sea, I realized it was District [-]. There are many monsters in the sea on the side of District [-]. Those reclusive masters set up a territory to guard the coastline. To prevent people from sneaking into the sea. I happened to run to Yalin’s territory, was taken back by him for interrogation, and was taken in.”

"Is that so?" Kurolo looked at me sideways, "Did you suffer?"

My eyes were hot, but I still said calmly: "Yalin is very kind to me."

I turned to where we were going: "I want you to see where I came from District [-]. I was swept into a cave by the current, and then there is a very magnificent underground valley, right there Inside the mountain." I pointed to the distant mountain peak, then looked at Kuroro and said, "There is a very spectacular ruin in that valley, it was very shocking to see at that time, I just want you to see it too."

"A relic hidden in the mountain?" Kuroro was really interested.He had always liked these mysteries.

"Well. I thought at the time, you must like it...Look, it's the sea." Turning around the valley, the endless dark blue sea stretched out in front of you, and the sound of the tide was far away.

After staying in a cramped environment full of rubbish for a long time, the natural scenery where the sea and the sky meet is particularly heart-warming.Kuroro looked at the beach and sea in front of him, his eyes widened, and the expression on his face gradually brightened.

I looked at him for a while, then pulled his arm, pointed to the wooden house on the beach not far away, and said, "That's where I used to live."

Pointing to the black rocky beach at the end of the beach, and the sharp cliff behind the rocky beach, "Let's go there, that's where I got out of."

Kuroro followed me to that side, and said in a cheerful tone: "The scenery in the sixth district is really good, we can also live here in the future."

I held his arm and smiled brightly: "When we can come to the sixth district, we can go out directly. The outside world is much better than Meteor Street. We can live wherever we want, even by the sea, and there are lively big cities .” Think about it and look forward to it.

"That's right," Kuroro said.

We walked past the quiet wooden house, at this time Yalin should go to the beach to inspect.

About to walk out of the beach, Kuroro suddenly stopped at the edge of the reef.He looked serious and pulled me behind.

"Huh?" A person turned out from the rock pile opposite, looked at us who were waiting in full force, and frowned: "Didn't you leave?"

It's Yalin.

I walked out from behind Kuroro and said to him, "I want to go to that ruin again."

Yalin raised his eyebrows, and I said again: "When we grow up a bit, we won't be able to get in!"

Yalin looked at me and then at Kuroro, curled the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, and said indifferently: "Remember to block the road when you come out."

"Yeah!" I nodded again and again, and Yalin walked past us to the wooden house.

Kuroro still stood still, looking at Yalin's back with a blank expression.

"What's wrong with you?" I saw that something was wrong with him, so I leaned over and hugged him.

"It's okay, let's go." Kuroro said.He patted my back and pulled me forward.

"Is that the person who took you in?" He looked ahead and asked.

"Hmm..." I still looked at his side face worriedly, and hesitated.

"He's very strong." Kuroro said thoughtfully, "Even if he didn't have any deliberate intentions, I would still be overwhelmed by the Nian."

"Is this the strength of the Sixth District?" He muttered to himself.

"Yalin can also rank in the top five in the sixth district." I was afraid that Kuroro would be hit because of this, so I hurriedly said, "You are already very good!"

"Really?" Kuroro was noncommittal.

"Of course!" I pulled him and said, "We're still young, so what's the point of not being as good as others right now? We'll become even stronger in the future!"

There was a hideous opening on the flat stone wall that was cut by a knife, and the outermost stone blocking the gap was removed, revealing the dark stone gap behind.

Standing in front of the gap, I stopped suddenly, grabbed Kuroro's arm, and said hesitantly: "Inside, inside...the ruins are above the head, and there is a long corpse pit under the feet. "I cried and said regretfully, "It's disgusting, why don't we go?"

"Corpse pit?" Kuroro's voice was a little surprised, and he asked me, "Have you walked by? Scared?"

With a pale face, I pawed at him with lingering fear, first nodded vigorously, then shook his head hesitantly, and said in a low voice, "I've walked past it twice...it's such a dirty place, I don't want you to go there."

"It doesn't matter to me." Kuroro looked at my face for a long time before saying.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go." He held my arms on both sides.

I looked hesitant again.

"Do you still want to go?" Kuroro said, "Then go."

I pouted again.

"Is there danger in there?" he asked.

"No." This time I said with certainty.

"Then let's go." Kuroro didn't delay anymore, he led me towards the crevice of the stone, and said patiently: "You follow me. I'll pull you, don't be afraid."

"...Mmm." I responded softly from my throat, tightened the hand held by him, interlocked my fingers with his, and held them firmly.

Back in the dark and cramped tunnel again, the rock wall brushing against my cheeks was icy cold.The flashlight illuminated the almost closed rock wall above my head, my breathing gradually became chaotic, and I almost returned to the nightmare I couldn't get out of.

Only Kuroro's warm and strong hands make all the difference.

He walked less than half a meter in front of me with a flashlight, leaned sideways, and pulled me behind with one hand.It was an awkward posture in such a narrow place, but he walked steadily, without any intention of letting go of me.

"It's very crowded here." He said in a relaxed tone in front, still able to shine the flashlight on the top of his head and the surrounding rock walls, "It seems to be formed naturally."

"Yeah." My voice was obviously so tense that it was almost distorted, "I won't be able to get in if I get older. So I have to watch it now."

In the past six months, I have grown a little taller than before, and Kuroro is still the same as before I left, and I should have grown a little taller.

Kuroro let out an "hmm" in front.

I held his hand tightly, thinking about the place I was about to face, taking deep breaths intermittently, trying to relax my tense spirit a little bit.

This time, Kuroro is with me.I kept telling myself in my heart.

"Lydia." Kuroro suddenly called me.

"Huh?" My trance spirit suddenly lifted.

"Relax." He shook my hand firmly and said softly.

"...Hmm." I replied softly, my breath trembling.

Kuroro walked for a while, then stopped.

"Come here." He took my hand hard and pulled me to his side.

We've come to a relatively wide area where the tunnels are just wide enough for the two of us to stand side by side.

Kuroro stretched out his arms and took me into his arms.The tunnel was dark and cold, and his warm body temperature was transmitted to me. What is more attractive than the warmth is the sense of security that the two of them are tightly attached to each other.The skin hunger and thirst I had when I was a child has never fully recovered. It was just suppressed before, but now when Kuroro came, it suddenly broke out again.

Those recurring nightmares, the cold and tough corpses, the long hours of hopeless darkness, affected me more than I thought, so much that I couldn't get out.

His hand holding the flashlight circled behind me, and there was darkness in front of my eyes. I hugged him back unsteadily, shaking so hard that my whole body trembled, and then gradually relaxed in his steady breathing.

"You don't look right like this." Kuroro said, "Do you want to go on?"

"Yes." My thin voice gave an affirmative answer.

Kuroro hugged me and continued to walk forward, saying, "It's not just to see the ruins, is it? Why do you want to come in so reluctantly?"

"I, I always have nightmares." I grabbed him and wrapped his arms around me, and said in a low voice, "I walked here alone for a long time, and I thought I couldn't get out at one point... I have been having nightmares since then. Everywhere They are all corpses, I can’t get out no matter what, and I can’t wake up.” I panted thinly and quickly, “I’m too scared, I can’t overcome it.”

"You walk with me once," I said to him in a tearful voice, "otherwise I will go crazy sooner or later."

Kuroro was silent for a while, and said as he walked: "You said you have been here twice. The first time was to go to the sixth district, what about the second time?"

"Yalin wanted to see this place, and he let me in first. He is a space-type telekinetic, and he can come in by locating the things I brought in." I whispered, "I also saw the ruins that time."

Chrollo stopped in his tracks.With his flashlight shining ahead, he said calmly, "Are those corpses?"

I froze and knew we were out of the tunnel and down the valley.

I forced myself to turn my head away, from scattered to dense, and gradually the road of corpses piled up like a mountain came into view again.Those pale faces are exactly the same as those I have seen before, in memory and in nightmares.

My whole body was stiff, and I opened my eyes as if I was masochistic, because in the nightmare, once I close my eyes, I will fall into complete darkness, and those corpses will overwhelm me...

"Don't look." Kuroro stretched out his hand, covering my eyes tightly.

The pure darkness descended suddenly, and I trembled, almost breaking free, but his palm was dry and warm, covering my eyelids, effectively soothing my tense nerves that were about to break.

I pressed his hand covering my eyes tightly, and called him as if confirming: "Kurolo, Kurolo..."

His voice was full of insecurity, almost neurotic.

"I'm here." Kuroro said.

He forcefully pulled down my hand holding him, stuffed the flashlight into my hand, and said, "Take it, look ahead, don't look down."

He took away the hand covering my eyes, and I clenched the flashlight tightly. Before I could adapt to the light, he had already bent his legs and hugged me.

I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck.

Kurolo led me forward, leaning back slightly, as if stepping on something, gradually climbing up.

Of course I knew where he was going.

Kuroro stepped on the corpses that would never decompose and walked towards the pile of corpses.He was not afraid at all, his breathing was steady, his heartbeat was strong, and he was able to speak to me with ease.

"How long is it here?"

"I don't know either. The second time I only walked a little bit, but the first time I walked too long and too quickly, it was completely impossible to estimate. I thought I would never get out of it for the rest of my life."

I leaned on Kuroro's shoulder and whispered in his ear.Compared to before, the tone was much calmer.

The weight of the whole body is borne by Kuroro, and all I can touch is his warm body.Darkness, weightlessness, if it is in a dream, it will be followed by a palpitating sudden fall, and a scream that will always be dumb in the throat.

But it was Kuroro who was holding me at the moment, and I felt so at ease in his arms and chest.In the environment where I fear the most and should strictly guard my heart, I completely give myself to him.

His breath and heartbeat are close at hand.

"How far are we going?" he asked.

"It's enough to walk 200 meters." I said, "The ruins are just above our heads, and we can see them all by walking a little farther from the mountain wall. I'll fire the flares."

"Well," Kuroro said, "How much do you know about this ruin?"

"I don't know at all. But there is a kind of vine planted under the ruins. Yalin seems to know that he once mentioned a certain belief... An Qin people? It seems to be the pronunciation." I recalled.

"Vine?" Kuroro said.

"It's on the stone walls around the valley." I said, thinking of the unusually thick gray-white strange plant, my heart was still chilling: "It is said that it feeds on the breath of the dead, so these corpses will not rot and have no smell. "

"So that's it." Kuroro said softly, "These corpses don't seem to be from the same period. Could it be that they are piled here on purpose?"

"Maybe." I leaned against him and whispered.

"It's almost there. You fire the flares." Kuroro stopped and said.

"Well!" I couldn't help but look forward to it, as if I couldn't wait to share the rare gift with Kuroro.

"I launched!"

With a "bang", a blazing white light rose into the sky, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the entire valley.

I only glanced at the magnificent and strange scenery above my head, then I lowered my head no longer nostalgic, and stared at the side face of Kuroro who was close at hand.

Above the head is the magnificent and treacherous ruins, and behind me is the eerie rock wall. I forcefully engraved Kuroro's side face and the surrounding environment into my mind, replacing those that repeatedly appeared at night and made me feel uncomfortable when I opened and closed my eyes. An inescapable nightmare.

I watched Kuroro's face flickering in the white light of the flare, watched him raise his face, his eyes gradually widened with everything that appeared above his head, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised in excitement, like a man who got Children with novelty toys are curious and eager, innocent and happy.

So I also became happy along with his happiness, and a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere formed a new field between us, gradually replacing the eerie external environment.

I was hugged high by Kuroro, and I almost forgot the road paved with corpses under my feet.That's it, I tell myself, remember this feeling, it's me and Kuroro here - we're just here to see the majestic ruins, so light and easy.

I couldn't help but put my face on Kuroro's profile and closed my eyes.

You see, darkness is not terrible, it cannot hurt me.

After three flares were burned, Kuroro finally had enough to see, and walked towards the way I came with in his arms.

"Wait a minute," I tugged at his sleeve, and said courageously, "Let me get down and go."

"Won't you be afraid?" Kuroro said, "Don't force yourself."

"No, I'm going by myself." I insisted, "I have to go out by myself, as if in a dream. You pull me..."

Fighting poison with poison, I must use this opportunity to wash away the nightmare about this place while I am here with Kuroro.

Kuroro put me back on the ground.

When I stepped on the recognizable flexible yet stiff corpse under my feet, I flinched uncontrollably.But I resisted the urge to jump up and stepped on this road steadily...

Like I've done on my own before.

Yes, it's not that I can't do it, I'm just deeply terrified of it.I know no one can help me and I have to get over it myself.And Kurolo...

"You pull me." I stretched out my hand and grabbed Kuroro's hand, but I still felt that it was not enough, so I asked him blindly.

Kuroro grabbed my hand tightly, and when his fingers were entangled and he couldn't pull it apart, I felt enough and pulled him out step by step.

The road of corpses extending into the darkness, with the unchanging scene on both sides, and the tight darkness all around, seemed to be standing still forever, with no hope of going out.

I have been trapped in such a nightmare countless times, unable to break free, unable to wake up.That kind of despair left such a deep impression on me that in my dream, I could never find that narrow gap, wandering forever in the valley, walking on this road, as if it was a day, a year years until I despaired and withered and became a dead body like these beneath my feet.

stay here.

Being crushed by the dead body at the bottom.

No one knows who I am.

Until the end of time, never see the light of day again.

A force came from the hand, constantly pulling me forward, firm and powerful.

I stopped looking down, I was looking too much!Staring at Kuroro's back, I said to myself, look, I'm following Kuroro, he's with me.

He will take me out.

Anxiety mixed with despair, joy mixed with terror, I held his hand tightly, trying to engrave this feeling into my flesh and blood, and bring it into my dream.

Don't be afraid.

"Lydia," Kuroro called me from the front, with a steady voice, "I went there to look for you after you left Liuying Street. They said you jumped into the well, and I thought you were dead."

My heart lifted, and the hand that held him trembled a bit.

"I thought, no matter where you are, wherever you are washed by the water," he said, tilting his head, "I will find you."

I know, he's talking about my dead body.

What he said was so calm and firm, as if he was just promising a trivial matter.

And my whole body trembled.

Kuroro continued, "But then I thought, Lydia might survive. Because there is no other person more qualified to live than her."

I looked at his side face, my throat was so choked that it was almost swollen, but the corners of my eyes were too dry to shed tears.

"No matter what, I will find you." Kuroro said, the corners of his mouth slightly pursed, "I promise."

"...um." I squeezed out a trembling response from my blocked throat.

I still follow him step by step and walk out at a steady and uniform speed, but I can no longer pay attention to the surrounding environment.All the things that I feared deeply, that choked me by the throat, that I struggled to get rid of, all of a sudden... didn't matter at all.

An extremely powerful energy poured into my body, and an unprecedented emotion swept me, which made me feel redeemed while being shocked.

I know I will never have to fear this nightmare again.

Because Kuroro will take me out.

The familiar white light came out from the narrow gap again, which was the vitality that I had never been able to find in my dreams.But in reality, what is even more wonderful than the last time I was alone was that Kuroro was in front of me.

I followed Kuroro, walked out of the rock crack, and the sea breeze was blowing in my face, and the world suddenly opened up.

Kuroro turned around, smiled and kissed my forehead.

And I hug him with all my might.

The memory of loneliness and despair has really been replaced.Later, when I think of this mountainside full of dead people, the magnificent and strange ruins, what I remember again is the pure gratitude and happiness of being loved.

Someone here, made me the best promise I could ever imagine.
