Chapter 199: Chapter 134: New World! Silent Corridor! (Part 3)

Thus, behind the [Lord of Light and Shadow], there were new followers, also the first believers.

[Black Crow]

Continuing forward, a sweet metallic smell gradually appeared in the air. Just as Ye Mingqiu passed a smooth black boulder, as reflective as a mirror yet reflecting nothing, a small figure emerged at the corner of the passage ahead.

It was a girl, seemingly thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a slightly soiled white dress with bare feet, her face pale as if devoid of blood, her black hair disheveled.

Her eyes were filled with helpless tears, standing like a startled doe, casting a pleading and desperate gaze toward the [Lord of Light and Shadow].

[Lord of Light and Shadow] walked over, transforming the twisted world into tangible reality, altering the laws of the world with his presence.

“?”

The little girl’s expression changed, her frail body trembling slightly, feeling even more helpless than before. What monster has come here now!

I feel like you’re even more eerie than I am?

[In Need of Help Girl (Level 4 Monarch)]

She watched the flock of crows circling the [Lord of Light and Shadow], one small hand tightly gripping a roughly edged shabby little wooden plank, the other hand clutching the hem of her dress.

He, whose gray drapery harbors endless stars, the ineffable being, has already made the little girl tremble with fear, feeling as if she might face instant death at any moment simply by standing there.

Suddenly, her body shivered violently, fear almost spilling from her eyes.

Yet, she ultimately did not retreat but instead found the courage to move forward, driven not by malice and fear, but by instinctive desire.

The girl in need of help, she is one of the anomalies of this world, with her behavior logic and laws, she will kill any existence that refuses to help her, but as long as she is helped, she won’t attack.

The rules stem from the final obsession, the girl longs to plead for help and mercy. After the [Lord of Light and Shadow] dispels the world’s curse, her desire within becomes even stronger.

She raised the small wooden plank in her hand, on which three words were written haphazardly in some dark red paint: “Help me, kill her.”

The handwriting twists, bringing a sense of clumsy panic like a child’s, in this silent world, this is the only help cry the child could muster.

The [Lord of Light and Shadow] paused, his gaze under the gray drapery settled on the girl, his calm demeanor rippling slightly, his star-like cheeks revealing no change, slowly raising his hand covered by gray drapery, emitting a sound.

“Lost lamb…”

Holy Light emerged behind the [Lord of Light and Shadow], sounds once again resonated in the despairing Silent Corridor. This voice was something the girl hadn’t heard again for many years, she stared at [Lord of Light and Shadow] in shock, as if witnessing something unbelievable.

He actually… dared to make sound in this world! And was not consumed by the curse!

What a terrifying existence this is!

“Guidance.”

The [Lord of Light and Shadow] emitted sound again, containing undeniable power in his voice.

Ye Mingqiu’s thought was simple, to obtain information on stronger monsters through the girl, kill that monster, then use Holy Light to purify the girl, letting her transform into free ashes and a treasure chest, allowing her soul to ascend happily.

Living in such a place is worse than death, using Holy Light to kill her means she won’t have to suffer, continuing to sink like this will ultimately drive her to madness, turning into nothing but horror.

[Tip: Side Quest Accepted – Girl’s Wish]

The girl lowered her head, her eyes flashing with strange light, she slowly raised her hand, pointing with delicate fingers in a certain direction deep within the passage, her heartbeat quickening.

Somehow, even though she was already dead, she felt as if she was alive again, as if returning to a certain moment in the past.

The [Lord of Light and Shadow] without hesitation, stepped toward the direction the girl guided him.

The girl immediately followed silently like a little tail, keeping a few steps behind the [Lord of Light and Shadow], her head lowered, occasionally sneaking a glance at the silhouette of gray drapery that signifies death and chaos, gazing at the faintly visible stars, her eyes filled with admiration and worship.

She felt as though she saw light, true light, pure light, light of hope.

Entering the passageway, they proceeded downward along the corridor, the air within becoming increasingly dense, with a stench of decay.

Soon, the walls of the corridor ceased being stone, transforming into some kind of dark brown meat wall, gently rising and falling like breathing.

Dark yellow mucus oozed from the walls, dripping down, swirling and flying in mid-air. In this high-concentration cursed area, physical laws held no meaning, the viscous yellow liquid wouldn’t fall to the ground but appears in places it shouldn’t in various forms.

“Plop!”

Suddenly, a mass of yellow liquid in mid-air fell to the ground, not far away, the [Lord of Light and Shadow] accompanied by the girl and the swarm of Black Crows walked in, everywhere he tread, all curses dissipated.

The end of the corridor abruptly opened into a massive underground cavern, with an inexplicable giant tree standing at its center.

It’s not a plant at all!

The thick twisted trunk is composed of countless intertwined, violently twitching limbs, pale human arms, beast paws covered with scales, skeletal hands with sharp nails… these limbs still blindly clawing and spasming, as if enduring eternal agony.
