In the eyes of Aoye and the others, the old and thick city approached them with wide mouths.

The walls of the town are constructed of grey or dark stones, taken from the Lost Land itself.

Since the lost land is sparsely populated all year round, there are no geological changes as severely as the surface world. If you pick out any piece of these rocks on the surface, you may be many times older than Qingye.

However, to humans, stones are just stones after all.

Even if they have been through a long time, as dead objects, they can only become part of the product of artificial construction.

Aoye naturally would not be unable to recognize this familiar town - this is the stone castle that Aoye met Tachihari when he last came to the Lost Place.

But the problem now is.

Aono chose the direction to move forward, relying entirely on his intuition to choose the most dangerous side.

Now, this town, which has a lot of fate with Aoye, is in the direction of extreme danger that Aoye notices - you know, even the overwhelming bomb jellyfish group that was previously overwhelming was only a "general danger" for Aoye.

With a little comparison, you can tell that there may be dangers that can endanger Qingye's life in this town!

Aoye's face is not good-looking.

If the inside of Stone City is full of dangers, then where are the residents who lived in Stone City now?

To be honest, in the past six months, Aoye has seen many sacrifices.

No matter how much sacrifices were made within the Tokyo Rangers or the deaths of innocent civilians, no matter how many times he had seen them, he was not very easy to accept.

But he had no emotions before, so he couldn't quite understand what kind of mood it was.

Aoye may not be able to fully understand that feeling now.

Probably, it’s empathy of the same kind, or something else.

But in short, Aoye didn't want to see people die before him, especially acquaintances he knew.

"Do you want to go in?"

Aono turned his head and looked at Hinano Yuki and asked for his advice.

No matter what, he himself has to go in, but it is not easy to protect the weak Hino Yuki in this state.

But after he turned his head and looked, he realized that what appeared on Hino Yuki's face was not fear or fear.

But...

excited!

Excited!

Still unconcealed excitement, his eyes widened, his always pale face turned red and his breathing heavy.

In the dull eyes, there was an invisible flame burning.

It seemed that what he saw was not a dangerous and desolate city, but a treasure full of precious treasures!

Such changes are enough to surprise Aoye.

Because to be honest, when I saw Hino Yuki ten days ago, Aoye had already seen that Hino Yuki's spirit seemed to have been pulled away by something, and what is left now is just a body that looks like a walking corpse. With the last obsession in my heart, he supported him to tell Aoye about the future.

Even if I heard Aoye agree to him, the flame of hope was only short-lived. Maybe there were some of the elements that were acting for Aoye to show.

But now, Hino Yuki seems to suddenly feel more angry.

"first!"

Yuki Hino's lips and facial skin trembled, and she was no less excited than her husband who heard the sound of "Birth!" outside the delivery room, shouting hoarsely.

"First time! This is the first time we have found this town so smoothly."

Aoye was stunned.

I quickly understood the reason why Hino Yuki was so excited.

Yuki Hino can see countless possibilities in the future. If Stone Castle had some special significance, it would have been the first time he had seen it.

However, after hearing what he said, the process of coming to Stone City several times in the past was not as smooth as this time.

The future is countless lines spreading forward. Since the front end of this line has undergone an unknown change, it means that the future belongs to the doomsday and reduces the possibility.

A bright future that could not be seen at all is possible!

Such a change undoubtedly gave Hino Yuki a dose of stimulant.

It is this emotion, and there is probably no other person who can understand it except himself.

"let's go."

Yuki Hino's enthusiasm increased unprecedentedly. He took the lead in front of Aono and walked towards Stone Castle, while also telling some information he had obtained before.

"This stone city is a dead city..."

......

After a moment.

Aoye and the others walked to the gate of Stone City.

For Aoye, there has not been much change here, and he even felt that the several larger ravines on the city wall looked familiar.

Even though the experiences during this period are described in words, there are not hundreds of thousands of words that cannot be finished, but in fact, the time is only three or four months.

However, according to what Hino Yuki said, Stone Castle has changed a lot.

"Click."

Aoye accidentally broke a tiny piece of gravel.

Once again, they had stepped into the city gate.

But in this step, the scene that Aoye saw changed unprecedentedly.

Large and thick black mist wrapped around them, covering their vision.

At this moment, it seemed like I was trapped in completely pure darkness.

And you should know that in the last second, they could not see any abnormalities from outside, and Aoye's inspiration did not give any prompts.

But after taking one step, there is a completely different picture.

Even Aoye has seen such a strange situation for the first time.

Fortunately, Hino Yuki told Aoye before entering the city, so he was not surprised.

And with a thought, I used my body's pores to absorb the surrounding fog.

[You absorbed the mist of loss (mutation)!]

[Warning! The mutated lost fog is no longer the lost fog of the past. Rampant absorption will cause unknown consequences!]

[Absorbing large doses of the mutated lost fog, the black fog-producing spirit has a great possibility of disappearing!]

Aoye's pupils shrank and he quickly gave up his actions.

If there is only the second sentence prompt, Aoye has a high probability of not listening to the warnings of the panel and continuing to absorb them.

Anyway, the "unknown" changes he encountered have not happened once or twice, so it doesn't matter if he goes this time.

But the last sentence has to be taken seriously by Aoye.

He finally turned the black fog back to the state of "about to break through". If something went wrong at this moment, he might never have the chance to hear that tender voice again.

At this time, Aoye also tasted the little bit of the mutated fog.

It was like a five-flavor shop opened in my mind, with sweet, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty tastes, all kinds of flavors poured into my heart, full of strong stimulation.

In a word, it’s hard to eat!

After a while, he felt that somewhere in his body was so hot that it was painful, proving that absorbing the fog after this change would not only be of no benefit to him, but would have a significant negative impact.

Only then did Aoye dispel the problem of this pure darkness by violent devouring.

In fact, before entering the city, Hino Yuki also told Aoye that he could not solve the darkness.

But after listening, I heard it, but when I really got to see it, Aoye still had to give it a try.

But Aoye doesn't have any other ways to deal with it.

The black mist in his body also spread out.

The two types of black fogs look almost the same, but in fact they are very different.

The black fog emanated from Qingye's body, each of which was tiny, was like a lively little monster, roaring and rushing towards the mutated fog around him, screaming.

To be precise, they are all living.

It is a collection of countless tiny particles, the previous black fog spiritual intelligence, and their overall spiritual intelligence.

They do inherit some of Aoye's traits, such as swallowing and greed.

On the other hand, although these so-called "lost mist (mutation)" do have very strange characteristics, they look... very numb? They are not as full of spirituality as the first lost mist.

This feeling is very strange, but it is indeed the reality that Aoye feels.

It is as if in order to obtain that part of the strange change, the Lost Mist also erased some of its original characteristics.
To be continued...
