Living in the darkness isolated from everything, Alicia clearly felt that there was a monster named fear in her heart that was about to move.

A scream would be stuck in her throat, ready to burst out at any moment—

She seemed to understand in an instant the people who covered their faces and screamed at the Harvest Festival——

When the heart is full of fear, even if you cover your face tightly with your hands, there is still a mouth on the back of your hand that can be used to scream, as a way to vent your fear.

But Erich still suppressed this kind of waste of physical energy and impact on reason.

After all, it's okay to be afraid.

Alicia sat down cross-legged, simply closed her eyes, covered her ears with her hands, and temporarily stopped thinking about why she was suddenly blind and deaf.

Anyway, as long as she doesn't open her eyes, she can pretend that she is not blind;

In the same way, if you don't let go, you can pretend that you are not deaf.

While watching her heart, Alicia's fear gradually subsided, and reason regained the upper hand.She began to analyze what had happened to herself.

In her view, there are two possibilities for the current situation:

One is that her body remained in place, on the king's ship, but her spirit body was taken away.

The second is that her body was teleported in a special way, and she came to a completely enclosed and completely dark space.

Oh no, there is a third possibility, which is the superposition of the above two situations.She was kidnapped and left the king's boat, and all senses were shielded and her spirit body was controlled.

As far as the first situation is concerned, Erich is not too worried - as long as her body is still on the king ship, with Nanna and the talisman Ymir, they can always find a way to get her back .

But Erich thinks that the possibility of the first case is not too great: she can use the Eye of Horus, which means that she is physically connected with the Eye of Horus amulet worn on her body.That is, she is with the items on her body.

But if it was the second case, or even the third possibility, then she would be in trouble.

Alicia continued to sit in the dark for a while, trying to recover her senses.She temporarily abandoned sight and hearing, she stretched out her hand to feel the flow of air around her, and tried to feel the ground she was sitting on...

After about a quarter of an hour, Alicia gave up trying in frustration.

She got nothing.

It's like being in a laboratory with strict conditions, there is no light, no sound waves, no air flow...

In other words, she seems to be living in the original, that is, before the first time, when the Creator has not created the world.

Thinking of this, Alicia became curious about the whole thing.

She thought: There is actually another way to see clearly what kind of space she is in.She'd never tried this before—

It is to observe oneself with the eye of Horus.

There is some danger in this move.Because she didn't know what the consequences would be if she pointed the Eye of Horus at herself.

Is this just a simple look in the mirror, or is she going insane because she uses her spirit body to see her real self?

Alicia waited for a while, nothing changed in her surroundings.

Can't just wait-

Nanna and the others must have gone crazy after encountering such an accident.

Erich reached out to her chest, holding the amulet with the Eye of Horus painted on it, decisively mobilizing her spirituality.The Eye of Horus released hexagonal rays of light again.

And Alicia silently pointed to——

"Pointing, the surface of the space where I am, is facing the position behind my right side."

She had a mind and didn't let herself appear in a position facing her directly, so maybe there would be a buffer.

After all, she was observing herself from the side, and once she noticed something was wrong, she could immediately log out from the Eye of Horus.

Of course, this pointing is not necessarily effective.

It has a premise: what she is in must be a closed space, and there are walls in order to have a wall surface.

But in case of failure, Erich can deduce that her environment has no boundaries.

After Ailixi determined the pointing, her Eye of Horus quickly brought her spirit body in.

Almost instantly, Alicia felt herself floating on the surface of a certain wall without sound.

It worked—

Before Alicia could be happy, she immediately realized that she saw herself, sitting in the dark, and it seemed that only her body was in the bright light.So Erich has no trouble seeing her current situation.

"Hey, my side face is pretty pretty!"

Yes, the young woman with her eyes closed and her legs crossed, sitting in a mass of darkness, does have an extremely glamorous appearance.

Her makeup is not complicated, nor does she wear too much jewelry, and even because of her recent body changes, she is not wearing the tight-fitting tube skirts that Egyptian women usually wear, but just a loose and loose robe——

But she is indeed beautiful, with a sharp face, precise proportions of facial features, and delicate skin that seems to be able to see through water.

Her slender neck was bending into a beautiful arc at the moment, which perfectly reflected the femininity of women and the aristocratic spirit of being a member of the royal family.

But she was lifeless, the young woman sat there, like a statue, dead silent.After all, her spirit body has been separated from her body, and she is looking at herself from the side.

Alixi quickly discarded her smug first reaction.

She recalled the perspective books she had read before. In theory, she could judge how far the opposite self was from the wall she was floating out of by the size of her own shadow in her eyes.

The visual distance looks like seven or eight meters.

By this time, Alicia had settled down, and she no longer panicked.

Still the same sentence: small scene——she didn't enter the virtual space or go back to the first time, she was still in a tangible and qualitative space.

If Erich repeatedly uses the method of observing herself and continues to detect her space up, down, left, and right, then she can get the size of the entire space.

But Alicia didn't rush to do it because she knew the size of the space.No obvious use for her escape.

Her spirit body remained silent, suspended on the wall, and continued to calmly observe everything in this space.

At the same time, her spiritual body is also trying to restore its various senses, hearing, smell and touch.As for vision, when Erich saw herself for the first time, it was confirmed that she had recovered.

I don't know how long it has passed, but there is still no change in this dark and silent space.

But Erich tried to keep herself patient, and calmly observed all possible changes in this space.

Suddenly, in the corner of this space, a little light suddenly appeared.

The light was weak and dark, but that was the only change in this deep space.

Ailixi's eyes quickly shifted there, but the dim light in the darkness seemed to be frightened, and disappeared in an instant—Ailixi flew into the air.

According to the experience in the Anubis priest's promotion ceremony, Erich could recognize that this dim light was the so-called spirit—a timid spirit.

Don't worry, Alicia warned herself, trying her best to keep her spirit body smiling and maintain a friendly attitude, so as not to scare away any timid creatures that might appear in this space.

She told herself to be patient and try to draw it slowly; she told herself, also coming from the modern fast-paced life, why couldn't she do what Viola could do?

So, her spiritual body just kept smiling, silently in the boundless darkness, and remained motionless.

Sure enough, her strategy was correct, and soon, a little light appeared in the other corner of the space.

Alicia didn't move, she didn't even turn her eyes.

One o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock...

More and more small dim lights lit up from the dark space.They are all over Erich's body, and also on the top of her head.

They were approaching, and they also seemed curious, surrounding Elyse curiously.

Alixie's spirit body didn't seem to be moving at all, but in fact she slowly controlled herself and was emerging from the wall bit by bit.

When her entire spiritual body was completely separated from the wall, she had already come among these tiny light spots.

She completely lowered her posture and admitted that she was just the most ordinary spirit in this world.

She tried to perceive them, and opened her heart, allowing them to perceive herself without hindrance.

Gradually, they began to take shape in Erich's eyes.

Small bodies, with limbs exuding faint light, and tiny and shapeless heads.

The shape of the head is becoming more and more clear. Erich seems to see human beings like herself, as well as other animals. There are many kinds of animals here, such as jackals, egrets, hares...

It was one after another, tiny souls.

Here, all spirits are equal and communicate with consciousness without distinguishing between humans and animals.

In the age when the gods still walked in the world, when the people and animals who once stayed here, when the gods passed by here, part of their souls were projected and left here forever, attached to the wall of this cave...

Cave?

Alicia asked silently in her heart.

Soon she got an affirmative answer: Yes, this is a cave.

In other words, she was transported here instantly from the royal ship sailing on the big river——

Big river?

The light spots gradually gathered in front of Erich.She realized they wanted to know about the river.

So she concentrated and began to think about the big river she had seen before she fell into the river bank: the water mist that evaporated on the river surface under the sun, the lingering moist breath, and the numerous foams that cracked and burst out when a paddle paddled across the water surface. The colorful rays of light reflected in the sun...

oh big river...

At this moment, Erich felt that she was understood——

Countless spirits answered her: We have also seen it, the water surface, the clumps of aquatic plants, and the big fish jumping out of the water as if with wings...

Alicia was overjoyed: This proves that she should not have left too far, and after finding a way to get out of trouble, she should be able to return to the big river soon and rejoin Nanna.

She speeded up the dialogue with these spirits, and at the same time, she repeatedly emphasized her senses in her consciousness: the eternal monotonous and repetitive sound of the big river, the smell of water lingering in her nose, and the splash of cold water splashing on her face...

You will be well, you will see your great river again...

Alicia heard the spirit around her comforting her: You will be fine.

Thank you, my friends whom I met by chance——

With this thought in her heart, Alixi regained her consciousness, began to focus on herself, and examined her mental state.

The most obvious change is fear.

The fear that had once been so high has now receded like a tide.Because she no longer feels alone, she has enough confidence to control her fear and make it work for her.

Under the stimulation of memories, her senses also began to gradually regain consciousness, and she was eager for perception: she knew that she was in a certain space in the known world.But her soul was shrouded and restrained by a barrier——

Ailixi's consciousness began to rush left and right.She is trying to find a hole, a passage, a gap, so that her soul trapped here can be free again.

She suddenly discovered that the spirits around her were also following her, and she and them...

All, no, all spirits are imitating her actions, moving in the same direction as her.

They would hit the barrier and be bounced back, like her;

But they were not discouraged at all, on the contrary they were somewhat elated;

They don't seem to see this as a futile exercise, but a unique dance.

Once upon a time, under the quiet moonlight, in the howling night wind, when they expressed respect and prayer to the gods who created the world, they also danced such a dance;

Dance to life.

These souls who have been silent for millions of years, at this moment, they seem to be like Elyse, longing to hear the rushing river, see the color of the foam reflected by the sun, and... light - bathed in the light under.

At this moment, Alicia suddenly heard a voice from the depths of the darkness.

This sound cannot be described in human language, nor can it be simulated by the sound made by any animal.

But this voice was full of surprise and a little bit of curiosity. After Alicia perceived it, she automatically translated it into a voice: Huh.

Then, the darkness collapsed.

The light suddenly appeared, and then came like a tide, followed by the sound——

Alixie's spirit body couldn't bear it immediately.

She had been in absolute darkness and absolute silence before, and at this moment she felt as if her head was being hit violently, as if it could crush her.

Fortunately, she has already arranged a retreat for herself——

She directly logged out of the "Eye of Horus..." and returned to her body.At this moment, Alixie's body still maintains the state of closing her eyes tightly and covering her ears with her hands, which helped her avoid the first wave of shock when her senses just recovered.Her spirit body returned to her body properly, and her head did not feel the pain.

But Alicia felt unspeakable regret.

Her friends, who had had friendly exchanges with her in the time that just passed, and even resisted side by side with her, helped her get rid of that layer of invisible restraint... probably completely dissipated the moment the light appeared.

The first thing Alixie should recover is the sense of touch.She felt the unevenness of the ground she was sitting on, and even made her feel uncomfortable no matter how she sat.

Alixi gently let go of her hands: her ears were still quiet.But she could already hear the friction of the air flowing through the valley.It seemed she was indeed in a cave.

She slowly opened her eyes.

She was indeed in a cave.

The ground here is undulating and composed entirely of khaki-colored sandstone.At this moment, there is a gentle light in the cave. The sun that has already slanted to the west is projected into the cave from an unexpected angle along the rugged cave entrance, dyeing everything in the cave with a layer of orange skin color.

Alixi stood up slowly while supporting the ground.

All her senses, all her senses, had returned.

"Thank you, my friends—"

At this moment, Alicia could only express her gratitude to the spirit who had helped her in her own way.

She just said this sentence, and Erich's eyes stayed on the rock wall.

She saw a brown-red palm-sized figure on the rock wall of the cave made of sandstone.

It was a person—a person painted on the stone wall with clear brown-red paint.

He has a well-defined torso and limbs, and although the tiny head is barely discernible, this cheerful figure is clearly identifiable.

His body is horizontal and his limbs are stretched out.This simple petroglyph is very dynamic. The person in the painting seems to be happily slapping the water surface, swimming freely in the water, so free and unrestrained.

The few color blocks and lines make the vigorous vitality jump on the stone wall——

These are petroglyphs, looking at the traces of wind erosion on the surface, these petroglyphs have been thousands of years from when they were painted on the rock wall to the era where Erich is standing now.

At this moment, Alixi felt close to her heart.

Sure enough, it was the ancestors who loved water and yearned for big rivers. They left their own marks on the rock walls of this cave, and also left a small part of their souls.

In the howling wind outside the cave, in the passage of time, they, they... gradually become eternal.

She turned her head and looked at other places in the cave.

More and more petroglyphs came into view: swimmers in the water, standing people, jackals, egrets, hares...

It seems that the spirits that once fell into her eyes reappeared in the form of petroglyphs.

Alicia couldn't look away any longer, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart—she recognized this place, it was a famous rock painting monument, and she had read it from a book before.

It has a name: Swimmer's Hole.

The cave itself may not be that special, but what is so special is that it is located at the junction of modern Egypt and Libya, in the middle of the Sahara Desert, at least...thousands of kilometers away from the Nile River.

On the big river, the king's boat had already stopped sailing.The sailors all stayed where they were, some were holding their heads in pain, some hadn't recovered from the shock.

They didn't understand why the princess disappeared from the royal ship in the blink of an eye.

They checked the entire royal ship, and some people even jumped into the big river and dived to search, but they still didn't find any traces.

The Queen's Navigator Gregor repeated over and over again, his knees could not support the weight of his body, so he knelt down limply.

And Nanna, favored by the God of War, had already drawn her hard bow to the full capacity, and the golden arrow clusters with the power of purification were aimed at the pale young Kong Si.

She hissed and asked angrily, "Tell me, what exactly did you see when she disappeared?"

Kong Si did not answer and was not going to answer. His slightly protruding eyes were staring at Nanna closely at the moment, and there was a touch of scarlet blood in his eyes that was slowly rippling away.
