[The Vampire Diaries] I heard I'm dead

The forest is getting darker and grayer.That feeling is not that it is dark, but that the whole world is fading.

"We need to be faster." Elijah said: "Beyond the speed of space collapse and the speed of swallowing."

He carried Alice to leap in the forest, and Silas himself used his spell to increase his speed: "I regret not being immortal more and more. It's troublesome to worry about being injured at any time."

"You lost your physical defense, but increased your spell output." Alice's voice came: "I think we are a team with a reasonable division of labor."

"It's here." Elijah put Alice down in a barren place.

Alice looked around and said suspiciously: "But there is nothing here." She took off the necklace around her neck, put it in the palm of the ring, and showed it to Elijah: "This is the key to open the ancient passage. We use this to enter the Freedom Realm."

This is a piece of yellow sand.Different from other places, it still maintains its yellow-orange color, as if it is still full of vitality.

Sandy land is generally considered a lifeless place, and it is also the most inhospitable place.But this piece of sand has indeed become an appearance of life here.

"Maybe we have to wait." Silas said: "When the space collapse arrives here, maybe it will be the moment when the passage opens."

"I think so too," said Elijah. "The Ancient Passage always appears at your weakest, most desperate moment—the devil always does."

Now everyone is doing nothing.All they did was wait, for the final moment to come.

There is no day or night here.Time seemed to have stopped, and everything was silent.

Alice asked, "How is Lugia?"

"A powerful and wise ally." Elijah gave high praise: "His ability and insight are completely commensurate with his age."

Alice sat up: "Then why didn't he save you?"

Elijah said: "It was an accident. The tomb of Gorgasus was so exquisite that even after his death, the power of darkness was still strong. He was the leader of Roman vampires, and he can also be called the greatest leader. one."

"Okay." Alice said sullenly: "If we go back the same way, we hope to meet him. There are too many questions to be answered. The listeners are really a strange group."

There seemed to be a "rustling" sound in the darkness, but when I listened carefully, there was not even a trace of sound.

"The time is almost up." Elijah stood up.He pulled Alice up.

The yellow sand is slowly fading, and the stones scattered on the sand seem to be rapidly decomposed by microorganisms and annihilated into dust.The devouring scene was too silent and too fast, and Alice couldn't help getting goosebumps.

"Are we going to disappear like stones too?" Alice asked.

"Maybe." Elijah gently stroked her back: "So we have to seize the opportunity."

A vortex appeared out of thin air in the yellow sand field, and fine sand swirled around it.At the same time, all the yellow sand became gray.

"Get out your keys!" Silas called out.

Elijah wrapped around her waist, and Alice reached out to grab Silas.

"What shall we do now?" cried Alice, as the wind rose from the ground.

"Jump down!" was Elijah's voice.

Then Alice couldn't hear anything.

The ancient passage is indeed a passage.There are starry sky above and behind their heads, and only the road paved with stone slabs under their feet.The stone road is suspended, and there is still an endless starry sky below.

The stars can guide the way in the dark.But here, they're nothing but fear and the oppressive feeling of being overwhelmed by the vastness of space.

"Where's Silas?" Alice asked.

"Maybe it's not the same place as we teleported." Elijah pulled her up and said, "Alice, I must warn you, this place is full of illusions, and maybe I am also an illusion, leading you to to the abyss."

"I'm ready to rely on myself." Alice kissed Elijah on the cheek: "No one can stop me from going forward, and neither can you."

The stone slabs under their feet were very smooth, with gorgeous and extraordinary patterns painted on them.There are many such roads spread out in the distant starry sky, but they do not communicate with each other.

"If only I had wings like Sith, then I can fly over." Alice said with some distress.

"No one can guarantee not to fall in such a space." Elijah responded: "This is a maze of multidimensional space, and we need to find a way out in different connection points."

What they were standing on was a two-meter-square stone slab, extending roads leading to four directions.

"Have you chosen a good direction?" Elijah asked.

"The choice is made." Alice chose the self-righteous oriental road: "No one knows what the future direction will be. All journeys are adventures, so I will bet on my luck."

She walked up this narrow, desolate stone road, surrounded by starry sky, and starry sky at her feet.The darkness is boundless, and the loneliness is also boundless.

However, this is a dead end.At the end of the road, two doors appear.They intersect in a triangular shape, and the intersecting shape is covered with a translucent red light film.Through the light film, Alice can see behind the door, the empty starry sky without any support.

"The portal." Elijah answered, "Only by passing through the gate can we reach another path. Maybe we can find the right path, or we may get lost here forever."

"Very good." Alice walked firmly in one direction.When she passed through the door, she didn't fall into the starry sky, but stood on another stone road.

"I'm glad you can stay with me, Elijah." She smiled, but also shed tears: "Now I know the basics of walking here." She stroked Elijah's cheek, and the other party was also affectionate looking at her.

"But I know that when the devil shows you, the next step is temptation. You are not real, and if you could be with me, then Silas would be here too. Just a phantom."

"Frost ring blade!" She shouted the mantra, and three huge ice blades surrounded her body, whizzing towards Elijah with Alice's gesture.

And that figure was still smiling, looking at her affectionately, until the moment it was cut by the ice blade, it shattered into a virtual light and disappeared.

Now Alice is alone.She has nothing and is ready to walk down this lonely, directionless road.

In the other direction of the ancient passage, Elijah was confronting Silas.

Silas said cautiously, "How do I know if you're real or an illusion?"

"Maybe I need to bite you." Elijah said indifferently, "I haven't drank blood for many days, and my throat feels like it's burning with thirst."

"I volunteered to be Alice's ally." Silas sarcastically said, "So this is your attitude? Since I can deal with Klaus, I can deal with you as well."

"I advise you not to be my enemy, especially in this place." Elijah said: "You have lost your way, haven't you? And I have walked out of here. And, you are not the only one who doubts me , I doubt you too."

"Very well, then the question now becomes how we can dispel mutual suspicion." Silas took a step forward: "Maybe I can really let you take a bite, as long as you can control it within a reasonable range." His instructions Jian pointed out a small wind blade and cut open the meridian on the back of the hand: "You do look a little weak. Hmm... We haven't considered bringing you some blood bags at all."

"Thank you for your generosity." Elijah examined him and slowly took his palm.A small amount of blood made his anxiety fade a little.

"The taste of blood will attract bad things." In return, Elijah bit his wrist and handed it to Silas: "You'd better recover quickly."

"Thank you." Silas didn't refuse his return.Then he asked, "What do you mean, are there any murderous beasts here?"

"There is a blood-sucking creature." Elijah said, "I'm not sure what it is, it looks like a mummy. Now are you sure about the illusion?" He asked, "As far as I know, you yourself A master at playing with illusions."

"No one wants to deal with the ancient passage." Silas said, "Now our mutual trust crisis is lifted. But where is Alice?"

This is what Elijah desperately wanted to know.But in the ancient tunnel, no matter how important the wish is, it cannot appear urgent, otherwise the devil will come upon hearing the sound.

"Alice has the key," said Elijah. "Perhaps the key made her fall from a different place than ours."

After passing through a few gates, the path seemed to grow longer and longer.

Silas asked, "Damn it, don't you know the right way?"

"The road is changing every day." Elijah said: "Maybe it changes every hour, every minute, every second. We pass through the gate, and then go back through this gate, it is not the original road."

"That's a mummified corpse." Elijah pointed to the bones crawling on another road facing each other: "From here, it seems to be just the remains of the victims. But once they meet them, the corpses will be assembled quickly, trying to Bite everything about you."

At this moment, a strange woman suddenly appeared at the portal at the end of the road.She had just teleported through the door, looking panicked, as if being chased by something.

"Anyone else here?" Elijah said.

"No..." Silas cried out in a low voice: "She—that's Aloya!"

Elijah's nerves tensed up: "Have you seen her! Is this the face of Alice's real body?!"

"It's Aloya, that's right." Silas replied, "But why did her vision appear?"

"No." Elijah's voice was hoarse: "Maybe it's not an illusion."

"You think that's Alice?" said Silas. "Don't be mad! It's a vision of the devil! He draws you into the abyss—"
