Throne of Shadows

"Get out of here, the living don't set foot in the realm of the dead, leave or... die!"

The mysteriously disappeared cloak floated in the air, perhaps because the surroundings became dark, this time Dong Chen and the others could see the face under the cloak clearly.

But to be honest, if you can choose, I believe no one would want to see this face for themselves.

The pale and stiff dead flesh exposed the bones, the big teeth without lips were exposed, and the two black eye sockets were burning with flames, in stark contrast to the lack of restraint.

This... is an undead.

Or rather, a monster who came back from the dead.

"We don't intend to disturb your peace, we just want to find some supplies, preferably a car." Dongchen didn't dodge, didn't show fear, and didn't even show disgust.In the sea of ​​consciousness, he has seen things that are a hundred times more disgusting than the monster in front of him.

Dead bodies are nothing unusual to Dong Chen.Although the undead were strange, they were not enough to scare him.

"Quack quack...you are very interesting!" The undead in the cloak smiled hoarsely, and pointed out with a smile.

With pale and yellow withered fingers, with a black light, Dong Chen instinctively raised his sword to meet them.

The brilliance collided, feeling the energy breath on Dongchen's body, the undead quacked happily: "With the existence of soul energy and killing breath, are you... interested in becoming a Forsaken?"

"The Forsaken?" The crisp voice exhaled.

As if he had discovered something strange, the cloak dropped from mid-air to the ground.

A gust of wind blew away the hood, and the withered gray-green hair fluttered.Annie buried her head in Christina's arms in horror. The outstretched hand of the undead was in mid-air, and the flames jumping around her eyes could not help but reveal a deep sadness: "...you... let's go! Get out of here."

As soon as the lost voice fell, a gap appeared in the sky full of ghosts, and the warm light shone on Annie's frightened face. The little angel looked at the undead, and the fear in his eyes gradually dissipated: "Thank... thank you, you are a good person."

"Okay, man?... Man..." Turning around slowly, the broken cloak dissipated bit by bit.

Dongchen suddenly stretched out his hand: "Wait!"

"What do you want to know?" The undead did not turn back, and the dissipated figure slowly solidified.Pale and withered bones pulled up the hood to cover his daunting head, and Dongchen could clearly see that his body was shaking slightly.

"I want to know, what is a Forsaken?"

The dry wind blows the dust, and the undead turns around and pulls off the cloak.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Sharp nails, broken breastbone, pale rotten flesh.

Gloomy, terrifying, desperate, and unstoppable negativity surrounds.

The undead looked at Dongchen, looked at Annie, and the jumping flames slid over everyone one by one: "Why do you want to know about the Forsaken?"

"Curiosity." Dong Chen gently uttered two words that surprised the undead.

"It's like this..." Pulling up the cloak slowly, wrapping the terrifying body, the undead sighed: "Curiosity, the greatest emotion of human beings, is also the original sin of everything."

"...Yes, curiosity is hope, but also despair." Reminiscing that because of curiosity, human beings defeated nature step by step, went to space, and then caused destruction because of curiosity.Dongchen didn't know what to say, maybe everything was superfluous.

The melancholy breath lasted for a while, and the undead was the first to come back to his senses. He kept paying attention to Annie, which made Dongchen unable to let go of his guard, although Dongchen didn't feel any malice towards it.

The undead realized something was wrong, and looked back sadly...

The weird black clouds in the sky gradually receded, and the sun shone down, dividing the place where Undead and Dongchen were standing in two.

In the wind, there is a low grinding sound...

"Remember the meaning of the Forsaken: We are neither the living nor the dead, we shall be forgotten by the living and the dead, and we return to the world we once left, but never to the days when we were alive, forever Unable to return to those we once loved, we are and are cursed. Therefore, we forget the past. And, are forgotten by the past."

There is a unique kind of sadness in the lost and sad meditation.Dong Chen stared at the undead who hid himself in the cloak, and said slowly: "You said us just now?"

"Yes..." The undead slowly raised his head, looking sadly at the sky: "We are not alone..."

"Then you, do you recognize it?"

The drop-shaped gem exudes a lavender brilliance, and the undead reached out to take it from the darkness in doubt, flipped through it twice, and froze in an instant.

"I think you need to take a walk with me." The undead raised his head, and the soul fire in his eyes was beating violently.

"Where?"

"The kingdom of the dead."

An inexplicable incantation was chanted, and two skeleton horses with four burning hooves rushed out of the darkness. The undead waved his hands at will, and the rattling bones surged from the ground, forming a pale carriage in an instant.

"It's amazing!" Annie's big watery eyes were wide open.

Dongchen carefully looked at the car, then at the undead, and took the lead into the carriage.

"This is for you." With a dry palm, a holy white flower lay flat, Annie looked at the undead, and took it with a smile: "Thank you."

"Put it close to your body. Where we go, it will be a kind of harm to the living."

The hands holding the white flowers paused, Annie blinked, and said cautiously: "Then...then can you give me some more?"

Staring blankly at the little girl in front of him, the undead suddenly grinned and let out a laugh like bones fighting: "You are such a kind girl, I will give you three more, the other shore flower is not something easy to get."

Holding four flowers from the other side in her palm, Annie was in trouble, she didn't know who to give them to?

Shui Lingling's big eyes anxiously asked for help, Dongchen smiled and took out three flowers, one for Ai Weier, one for Begoberd, and the last one after thinking about it, and gave it to Vegeta: " Take turns and try to stay together."

"Brother, I'll give you mine." Seeing Dong Chen handing out all the flowers, Annie hurriedly handed over her own.

Dongchen caressed her little face lovingly, and gently pushed the flower back: "I don't need it, take care of yourself."

"Cute little girl, you don't need to worry about him." The undead looked at Dongchen, and the gloomy flames made people feel chills on their backs.

"really?"

Annie still didn't believe it, so Dongchen and Christina looked at each other and got into the car.

"Trust brother, take care of yourself."

There was a rattling sound.

The undead turned around and saw that everyone was in place, snap!He snapped his fingers: "Sit down, let's go."

Stepping on the void, the carriage floats up.

Before taking action, no one would have thought that this skeleton carriage was not walking on the ground, but flying in mid-air.

For this reason, Begobird kept exclaiming: "This is unscientific, this is unscientific."

"What science?" The undead sitting at the front suddenly turned his head: "The dark matter energy world is different from the main matter world, science? You'd better not mention these two words in front of us."

The gloomy and murderous words didn't look like a joke at all, and Begobird shut his mouth knowingly.

Dongchen raised his hand and leaned on his chin, leaning against the side of the car and watching casually.

The dilapidated city whizzed by in the eyes, the strong wind blew the clothes and rattled, and the speed was no less than that of the Despair at full speed.

Turning his head idly, looking at the undead in the cloak, Dongchen suddenly asked: "Your name?"

"Name?" The soul fire in the eyes of the undead jumped violently, sighing and looking into the distance: "What a distant word!"
