Become a cat [Zhan Zhao]

"How are you?" the man asked.

The woman replied: "I can't die."

"What's wrong with her?" The man was silent for a while, breaking the silence again.

The woman's breathing was messy and rapid all the time, as if she was enduring pain, she finally said impatiently: "I can't die either."

"I'm late."

"Yes, you are late."

"Fortunately, there is no need to collect your body. There are four of us, and now there are only two of us left."

"I know."

Intermittent conversations entered A Lan's ears. She had heard the two voices before, but they were not familiar with them.She tried her best to lift her eyelids to wake up, but the nightmare held her tightly.In the dream, Zhan Zhaoyi jumped into the flames without hesitation.The fire that turned from dark red to purple mercilessly engulfed him and devoured him.His whole body disappeared into the flames.

That is not true.Can't be true, right?

After being dazed for a while, A Lan managed to remember: the two voices, the male is Han Shi, and the female is General Nightmare.

Han Shi is also in the tower?When did he arrive?

"Anyway, this matter has finally come to an end. No one would have imagined that that child Zhan Zhao would actually be able to jump into the 'sea of ​​fire' with Jiu."

"Unless someone can go in and take them out now, they will be trapped there forever. Although it's a pity for Qingjiu's younger brother, but if he can be buried with that guy, he will die unjustly."

Allan suddenly opened his eyes.She found herself sitting on the general's chair in a daze, and it seemed that it hadn't been long at all. The flames behind her kept rumbling, and the two whisperers in front of her turned their heads towards her.

Han Shi is still the same, the face made of stone has not changed a bit.Although the general lost an arm, his back was still straight, and his fair face looked a bit gloomy.

After a while, Han Shi spoke first, and said, "You're awake." He seemed to have expected that Alan heard what he said just now, and sighed, "I'm sorry I couldn't save your master."

"...He is not my master." This was the first sentence A Lan said.She got up and held on to the armrest of the chair beside her a little staggeringly, the sharp edge almost cut her palm.

Not anymore.

Han Shi couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, and said after a while: "I will take you out of the Pagoda of Six Dusts later, don't worry." He said and looked at the general, "It's just that you have to stay here, even if there is nothing you can get out of here. escaped from the 'sea of ​​fire', but I still have to trouble you to watch."

"It doesn't matter. I couldn't leave this ghost place." The general said lightly.

Han Shi sighed: "It's just that there is no one to accompany you now."

"I can stay with her..." Ah Lan suddenly said again, "I can stay." Her eyes lit up, as if they were burning because of the firelight.

The two looked at A Lan together again, Han Shi looked very surprised, but the general sneered and said, "You are just a mortal, even if you stay here, how long can you stay?" Put it in your eyes.

"Forever." Alan said lightly.

However, Han Shi easily saw through A Lan's thoughts, and he reiterated with a bit of unbearable heart: "My child, no one can come back alive from the 'sea of ​​fire'."

"But you said it just now, unless someone brings them out." Alan simply stopped hiding his thoughts.She had a weird calm now, no pain, no anger, just stagnant calm.She thought, I'm going to take him out, if it doesn't work, then there's nothing to miss here.

At least you can be with him, so it doesn't matter where you are.

"You don't even know what the 'sea of ​​fire' is." Han Shi frowned, looking a little helpless, he was not a kind person in the first place, and he was already trying to persuade Ah Lan with all his conscience.

However, Ah Lan was unwavering: "You can tell me."

"It's a nightmare. It's much more powerful than Dongwu's illusion." The general said coldly, "If you jump in, you'll be trapped in the dream. And it's not just a dream of one person, but It is the dream of all people trapped in the 'sea of ​​fire'. Even if you can really escape from the dream, if you can't find exactly who you are looking for, but accidentally bring out something that should not be brought out, we will all die. "

Alan said firmly, "I won't make a mistake, please at least let me try."

"You are risking everyone's life," the general said in a bad tone, "just because you like him?"

A Lan avoided answering: "He shouldn't have died in vain."

"No one deserves to die in vain, but people die in vain every day. Look at the people who died here, which one deserves to die, and which one doesn't die in vain?" The general sneered disdainfully, "If you think I will Because of your little daughter's thoughts, you want to bet on everyone's life, so save it. If you don't follow the cold stone now, you will be trapped here for the rest of your life. But I want you to agree to go to the 'sea of ​​fire' Jumping in, that is wishful thinking."

A Lan's lips trembled slightly, and she looked at Han Shi.The other party shrugged and said: "You will never return. I still think it is better for you to go with me. When I find a way to get the key out, you can forget about these things and live your life Bar."

"I don't care. I don't intend to forget about these things." A Lan bit her lip, her face flushed with excitement, "And I won't admit the wrong person."

Han Shi couldn't help but glanced at the general, and the general said to him mockingly, "You really don't think I'll change my mind, do you?"

"It's just that if this child can really bring people out..." Han Shi and the general whispered, "It's not just Jiu who is trapped in the 'sea of ​​fire' after all, the half of the key is also there. If things go on like this, people will always be worried. Right now This child, Lan, has half of the key on her body, so she can sense the other half of the key. If she can bring the key out, then it's okay to save Zhan Zhao by the way."

The general raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid that Jiu will follow?"

"The child said she wouldn't mistake anyone." Han Shi smiled, "Maybe we can take a gamble."

The general frowned: "I don't see why I should make this bet. It is the most ideal situation for the dove to be trapped in the 'sea of ​​fire' now."

"But if Jiu finds a way to use the power of the key to escape, it will be bad." Han Shi persuaded, "And since A Lan can bear half of the power of the key, it means that she is not very bad, at least the key Approve her."

The general put on a straight face, and after a while he gave Alan a displeased look, and said, "I don't think this little girl can escape from her dream."

"That's why I need to trouble you." Han Shi laughed. "Give her the amulet, and she won't be troubled by the dream. She can clearly know that she is in the dream and remember her mission."

Alan's heart was pounding, she couldn't help but said: "I can do it, General, please trust me."

"I don't believe you." The general said coldly, she waved at A Lan expressionlessly, A Lan felt a heat on her shoulders, as if something was attached to it all of a sudden.The general continued: "This amulet is only effective for three days. If you can't find the key within three days, you are prepared to be trapped in it for the rest of your life. Don't expect anyone to rescue you."

Alan nodded again and again, she turned her head to look at the flames that were constantly emitting heat, and the bubbling heat made her hair and the corners of her clothes fly up.Han Shi said behind him: "If you are going to give up, just go straight to the east, and you will be able to get out of the 'sea of ​​fire'. The amulet will bring you out. But after three days, you have to figure out your own way."

"Understood." A Lan did not turn her head, she whispered with a smile, "I will bring him back."

The moment he touched the flame, Alan felt a bone-piercing pain.She could even feel that her skin, internal organs, and bones had all been melted in the flames, and then that terrifying temperature was directly added to her soul.For a while, Ah Lan thought he was dead and this was hell.But she thought of Zhan Zhao again. Although the pain was more severe, her mind gradually became clearer.

When the crimson flame was finally extinguished, A Lan found herself lying in a piece of soft and dense summer grass, with small light yellow flowers dotted among the green and juicy grass leaves, and the bright sun above her head.And what she was wearing was no longer a heavy winter coat, but a light summer shirt.

Alan turned over and stood on this undulating hill. The scenery in front of him was strange but peaceful. It seemed to be just an ordinary place, an ordinary day.

There was a sudden burn on his shoulder, and Ah Lan woke up suddenly, so he was not immersed in this tranquility.She found her usual long stick in the grass at her feet, and she couldn't help picking it up quickly. The familiar touch made Ah Lan calm down a little.

Suddenly there was a "meow", and a wild cat with messy fur came out of the grass, and jumped up to catch a butterfly.A Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately stared at the cat intently—because of Zhan Zhao, she always had a different kind of intimacy with this creature.However, the cat didn't do anything unusual. It ran after the butterfly for a while, as if sensing Alan's gaze, it turned its head to look at Alan with those round cat eyes, and then turned around and ran away. opened.

Alan let out a sigh of frustration, and then laughed at himself: How could it be so easy to find Zhan Zhao?But in the end she couldn't help following the cat's trail and went down. After leaving the hill, she turned onto a small road. Looking far away, there seemed to be a city far away.

The city was built in a simple and majestic manner, separated from the surrounding land by a moat.A Lan could see that the suspension bridge had been lowered at this moment, and pedestrians entered the city from the bridge one after another.

She immediately decided to go to that city and find out what it was here first.
