What exactly is darkness? If a place without light is darkness, then what is the darkness you see when you close your eyes?
Lena was leaning against a tree trunk with a gun by her feet. There was a small pocket in the holster of the gun with three copper-colored bullets in it. She had already started to let her imagination run wild. She was thinking about some irrelevant things.
Facing the light of the fire, there was no shadow behind her, but only darkness. Reina didn't know how long she had been trapped here. She hadn't eaten for a long time, and her body was gradually losing strength. Just moving a little bit would make her feel tired. Right now, what she felt in her stomach wasn't hunger, but a feeling of boiling water. Perhaps it was because she drank too much water, but her body only felt weak and powerless.
"Ah ~ I don't care, I'm going to eat it!"
Suddenly, Lena opened her mouth and threw the emerald green seed into her mouth. She chewed on it, and a crunching sound came from her mouth. She immediately spat it out.
"So bitter! So hard! "
It was like sand, no, much harder than sand.
She bitterly looked at the seed in her palm. She sighed and leaned her head against the tree trunk, letting her hands powerlessly hang on the ground.
The reason the bonfire could keep burning was because Mr. Ball had been silently adding wood to it. It was now like a robot, repeating this task.
"Mr. Ball, am I really going to die here?"
Reina looked at the hole in her head and asked.
Mr. Ball didn't answer her question, which was very rare, but Reina could already guess its mood.
"If a person dies, where will they go? Will there be a next life, or will there be nothing left? "
She muttered a few questions, but didn't get a reply. Mr. Ball couldn't cry, but its back showed incomparable sadness.
Waiting for death was a very long process, and Reina had a deep understanding of this. She was too bored, so she began to look for things to pass the time. An endless amount of black coal, a gun, a very warm and magical cloak, an endless amount of water, and a blank black notebook.
These were the things he left behind.
Reina didn't know why he left these things for her. If he didn't want her to remember him, then why didn't he take everything away?
Moreover, each of these things had a very powerful function, except for one thing, that was this notebook without any words.
She took out the black notebook from her chest pocket and flipped through it aimlessly. It was still blank. She tried to write something in it with a pen, but strangely, as soon as she wrote, the words would immediately be erased, and the page would become blank again.
She originally thought that this notebook would leave some clues, but after countless attempts, there was no way to get any clues from it.
"Ah! I don't want to die!! I beg you, tell me what to do, wah ~ "
Reina suddenly burst into tears, and Mr. Ball, who was beside her, helplessly lowered his head.
It didn't stop Lennart from ascending the tower. It should have known that Horn wasn't a good person.
However, it was also moved by the charm of immortality.
Lifespan, Mr. Ball understood that a human's lifespan was very short. Although Reina was very young now, she would eventually grow old. For Mr. Ball, protecting Reina was the meaning of its existence. If she died, then its existence would lose its meaning.
Therefore, the one who really wanted to climb the tower wasn't Reina, but it.
But it was too late to regret now, but at least in the end, it should fulfill one of her wishes and tell her about that person. Even if it would disappear because of this, it didn't matter now.
"I'm sorry, little princess, you have to listen carefully …"
"Eh? What is this? "
Just when Mr. Ball was about to say everything, Reina suddenly sat up excitedly, her eyes shining as she looked at the black notebook in her hand.
"What? What's wrong? "
Mr. Ball was startled, seeing Reina close to the notebook and carefully look at it with the light of the fire.
Reina opened her eyes wide, almost sticking her eyes to the book, she saw a line of words appear on the blank page.
Was it time to give up?
At this moment, there were no words that could express the excitement in Reina's heart.
These must be the words he left behind, the words he said to her.
But before Reina could be happy for long, that line of black words slowly faded.
"Eh! Eh! Wait! Don't disappear first! Wait! "
Her call had no effect, the words still disappeared.
"What's wrong, little princess?"
Mr. Ball was a little scared, could it be that she was so hungry that she was hallucinating?
Reina looked at it, her eyes shining with hope, and said excitedly, "Words appeared in the book! There are words! "
Although it didn't know what she was happy about and didn't know what use it had, it was good for something to make her happy at the last moment of her life.
Mr. Ball calmly stood in place.
Reina flipped through the pages, all her attention was on the black notebook.
"Little princess, I have something to tell you …"
"Wait a moment, I think I know what's going on! It responded to me! It's not an ordinary book! "
Reina said happily.
Her eyes were completely focused on the book. After clearing her throat, she acted like an intern teacher who was on stage for the first time. She said mechanically, "Magic book, oh magic book, please tell me, who gave you to me?"
Mr. Ball was shocked, she was actually talking to a book, it didn't want to see this, so it sadly turned around.
A line of words appeared in the book: Not telling you.
"Eh? Not telling me? How cunning! No! You have to tell me! "
Reina shouted.
The line of words disappeared quickly, and a new line of words appeared immediately after.
Not telling you.
In an instant, a vein popped out on Reina's forehead, she stood up holding the notebook and shouted, "Alright! If you don't tell me, I'll throw you into the fire and burn you. "
She moved the book closer to the fire, but it was still far away.
Reina stared at the blank page, afraid of missing something.
I don't believe you dare to throw it.
"What!! It's just a book and you're so arrogant! Alright! I'll throw it! "
Reina moved closer to the fire and threatened loudly.
After the line of words disappeared, no new words appeared.
"What? Are you scared? If you're scared, then tell me. "
Reina said somewhat proudly.
But in the next moment, the book in her hand suddenly lit up, a flame jumped on it, it actually burned.
"Ah!!! Not good!! Mr. Ball! Water! Quick! Ah ah ah! It's over!! "
Reina was so scared that she didn't know what to do as she ran around holding the book.
But Mr. Ball didn't see any fire, she just kept running around holding the black book that didn't change at all.
