"I am … of course, I am here to save you. But, how did you know that I would come to save you? "Ling Chen's expression did not change as he spoke with incomparable certainty. As he spoke, he suddenly thought of the voice he faintly heard when he first entered the dark space outside. The content of that voice was: "Are you here to save me?"
Could it be that that was the voice of this girl?
However, that voice was clearly not the voice of a girl.
The girl immediately smiled happily. She lifted her skirt and slowly stood up from the ground. When she stood up, her height barely reached Ling Chen's ribs. She raised her face and raised her exquisite nose bridge. She said seriously: "Because … I just know."
"Wow! Ling Chen, you are so tall! You are so much taller than me. " The girl shouted out something completely unrelated to Ling Chen's Ling Chen. She raised her arms high and stood on her tiptoes. However, she was simply unable to reach the same height as Ling Chen.
"When you grow up, you will also become very tall," Ling Chen said with a smile.
"Grow up? Then how can I grow up? "The girl asked curiously. Her pair of eyes looked at Ling Chen with anticipation, waiting for his answer. After she stood up, she was very close to Ling Chen. The distance between them was less than half a body's length. If Ling Chen extended his hand, he would be able to pull her into his embrace. Her words, actions, and expressions showed that she was particularly close to Ling Chen. There was not the slightest sense of unfamiliarity. She also did not have the slightest awareness of whether or not he was a bad person … or, in her pure mind, there was simply no concept of 'bad person'.
"There is no need to do anything. With each passing day, you will quietly grow a little. After one year, you will be this tall. " Ling Chen gestured with his hand. "After another year, you will be this tall. After seven or eight years, you will be very, very tall."
"Ah?" The girl opened her mouth and a strange light flashed in her eyes. Then, she narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Can you really grow up in just a few years? Hehe … Since Ling Chen said so, then I will definitely grow up bit by bit. "
Ling Chen was amused by her naive words … People grow up naturally as they grow older, and it has nothing to do with outsiders.
Of course, this was only for "people".
"Shasha, tell me, other than your name … and knowing that I came to save you, do you really not remember anything else?" Ling Chen asked with a serious face.
"Yes yes yes yes! I don't remember anything. " The girl nodded with a smile, as if she didn't care about anything other than her name.
"That … that …" Ling Chen had the urge to smash the ground. He thought that he had finally found a turning point, but he didn't expect that this unbelievably beautiful girl knew nothing about this space, just like him. He thought for a moment and asked, "Shasha, do you not remember how long you stayed in this place?"
"I don't remember." The girl replied with her extremely ethereal voice. Her answer was very straightforward … It wasn't that she didn't know how long she had been here, but that she had no way of knowing. In a space where one was alone, there were no other objects of reference, so it was impossible to know how much time had passed.
"Then have you always been here and never left?"
"Yes yes! I wanted to leave, but I couldn't leave at all. Then, Ling Chen finally came to save me. "The girl smiled even more happily.
"… What do you do here by yourself?"
"Sleep!"
"… Apart from sleeping?"
"Apart from sleeping? Eh … oh … that's right! When I don't sleep, I wait for Ling Chen to come and save me. "
"… …"
Ling Chen was completely sure that even if he talked with her for 3 days and 3 nights, he wouldn't get any useful information. He looked up and scratched his head, and he looked at the Lunar Scourge on his wrist. A thought came to his mind, and he placed his right wrist in front of the girl. "Shasha, do you recognize this thing?"
From entering the dark space to coming to the crystal ball, it had been the Lunar Scourge that had silently guided him. The Lunar Scourge had guided him to this girl, and this girl had told him that she was waiting for him to save her … in that case, was there some sort of connection between the Lunar Scourge and this girl?
The girl's gaze fell on the Lunar Scourge. She seriously looked at it for a while, then leaned her body forward, allowing herself to look at it even more closely. After a while, her eyebrows lightly rose, her lips opened and closed, and she slowly said, "Lunar … Scourge …"
Ling Chen's mind jolted, and he hurriedly asked, "Shasha, have you seen it before?"
"No." Shadissika shook her head. "Why would Ling Chen ask this?"
"No?" Ling Chen frowned. "Then how do you know its name?"
"It's name … eh? Could it be that 'Lunar Scourge' is its name? What a strange name. Ling Chen, look, its name is engraved here. You can see it right away. " The girl stretched out her snow-white hand and pointed at the words' Lunar Scourge 'engraved on the edge of the Lunar Scourge.
Ling Chen instantly froze. So she had been reading the words engraved on the Lunar Scourge!
"Ling Chen," The girl looked up at Ling Chen. With her height, she could only raise her head, or else she would only be able to see his chest. "You've already found me, so why haven't you saved me? I don't like this place at all. Ling Chen, can you hurry and save me? "
"Alright … but how can I save you?" The desire in the girl's voice caused Ling Chen's heart to tremble. This girl had a face that could make even celestial beings pale in comparison. Even if she was a demon, her request was something that no one could refuse. However, as Ling Chen looked around, he could only see fog. He had no idea how to leave this place.
"It's very simple!" The girl stood in front of him and stretched out her small, white hand. "You just need to hold my hand and walk forwards, and you'll be able to save me. You really can. "
Hold hands … walk forwards … it's that simple?
This …
All Ling Chen could do was nod his head and agree. He stretched out his hand, and gently held the girl's outstretched little hand … Immediately, an indescribably soft and smooth feeling spread from his palm to his heart, and then to his entire body, causing his heart and body to tremble. He almost subconsciously lightened his grip in order to prevent this unbelievably soft little hand from being crushed by him. However, after the little hand was grasped by his hand, it tightened its grip on him, as if it was afraid that he would suddenly let go.
The feeling in his palm made Ling Chen's mind sway. He simply stopped talking and chose to unconditionally believe the girl's unbelievably simple "rescue method". Gently holding the girl's hand, he led her and took a step forward …
He took a step forward. The instant his right foot touched the ground, the white world and the light blue smoke suddenly disappeared in an instant. What was reflected in his eyes was only endless darkness.
"Wow! Wow! I'm out! I'm finally out! "
Ling Chen stared blankly in front of him. Beside his ear, was the girl's excited voice. The trembling of the little hand in his palm indicated that the girl was happily jumping up and down. However, this hand didn't seem to have any intention of breaking free from his grip. Instead, it continued to grip him tightly.
There was a faint blue light at the corner of his eyes. Occasionally, there were specks of blue light floating in the air. Ling Chen turned around in a daze. With a glance, he saw the crystal ball that was releasing light blue light and specks of light behind him. The state of the crystal ball was exactly the same as when he first saw it. It was surrounded by blue light and the interior was misty. There wasn't the slightest bit of change.
The diameter of the crystal ball was indeed only about a meter or so. However, when he was inside it, the world he saw was so huge. Holding the girl's hand, he actually took one step … only one step and he stepped out. From the interior of the crystal ball, he once again returned to this space filled with endless darkness.
What kind of space was this? Why were there strange things that could only happen in a magical world everywhere? All of these couldn't be explained with science!
"Ling Chen, you're so amazing. You saved me in one go. That's great, that's amazing. "
Ling Chen turned around and saw the girl's eyes that were filled with endless joy and worship. She also had a bright and flawless snow-white face. Facing the girl's laughter, the countless doubts and confusion in Ling Chen's heart couldn't help but disappear. He smiled and asked, "Sha Sha, how did you know that you could be saved like this?"
"I don't know why I know. In any case, I know." The girl's eyebrows curved and her cheeks spread out. Her smile was like a flower.
This question made Ling Chen suddenly unable to continue. He raised his head and looked at the endless darkness in front of him. He said in disappointment, "But, although we came out from that place, even I can't get out of here."
"Does Ling Chen want to go home?" Sha Sha asked.
"Yes."
"Then, Ling Chen, do you want to bring me home?"
Ling Chen was taken aback. Then, he smiled and said, "If Sha Sha is willing, of course."
This girl's background was simply too mysterious, and Ling Chen knew nothing about her. However, this girl also seemed to know nothing about him. Moreover, she didn't seem to care about this at all, and didn't seem to have any ties to him. Bring this girl home … … the moment this thought appeared, it firmly took root in Ling Chen's heart, making it impossible for him to extricate himself. Because, if he could have this girl by his side, it would be the same as having the most beautiful pearl in the world. This kind of extreme beauty … … was something that broke through the limits. No one had the ability to refuse … … including Ling Chen.
"Really? Wow! " The girl happily cheered. Her smiling face was like a myriad of pure white flowers blooming, causing Ling Chen to fall into a daze. The girl raised her other hand and raised her little finger at Ling Chen. "This is what Ling Chen said himself! Ling Chen is an adult. He must keep his word. He can't go back on his word! "
Ling Chen also smiled. He extended his little finger and hooked it with the girl's finger. "If I can find the way home, I will definitely bring Sha Sha back with me. I won't go back on my word!"
