Spiritual realm
On the peaceful night of the Nesela Day, the sky was full of serene bright lights, just as if the moon had fallen from the heavens and had been sprinkled over the city of Sailou.
However the small glowing balls which had danced in the wind like fireflies on the streets, gradually faded and disappeared one after another. This represented the end of this year’s Nesela Festival.
In the hotel room, the two adults and the cub lying on the sa bed were now soundly asleep. Apart from the occasional movent of the little tail fin belonging to the rmaid cub nestled in the arms of the youth, there was no other movent.
Later into the night, the mild luster of the moonstone beca more prominent. The oval gem tucked into Xie Tao’s pocket was showing a faint light at this ti, which seed to echo the warm yet cold moonlight outside the window.
Legend in the rmaid race has it that when gifted to a lover as a token of love, the moonstone would have an unimaginable effect.
Xie Tao had heard this rumor, but like others, he only regarded it as folklore ant to give the gemstone a beautiful aning. But now he seed to actually be experiencing the unimaginable effects talked about.
When Xie Tao opened his eyes again after he fell asleep, he did not see the familiar environnt of his original world, but a very broken and overgrown scene.
All around him were broken walls and ruins. The buildings were damaged to such a degree that you couldn’t even see a trace of their original appearance.
The sky was so grey that you couldn’t see a trace of blue. The wind blowing through the city rouse sand and dust. The desolate scenery was endless.... The planet was dead.
Faced with this dilapidated scene, Xie Tao stayed still where he stood. He did not know what was going on until he saw a small white egg lying alone in the ruins.
Xie Tao recognized the egg.
Although the egg was white, different from the color in his mory, he could still recognize it.
And it was exactly because he had recognized it that Xie Tao now had so clues regarding his current situation.
Xie Tao walked closer to the egg, however he was not able to touch it. He could only stand there as a bystander.
But the mont he approached it, Xie Tao’s heart was suddenly filled with a strange feeling, not belonging to him, but to this small egg.
Just like sharing his perception of the world, Xie Tao could now indirectly feel all that the cub inside the egg was feeling, including the icy heart piecing loneliness from being the only one left in these desolate ruins.... It was a very difficult feeling to describe.
The cub inside the egg had been able to perceive the outside world. Although he had not yet hatched, the cub was already conscious and his perception of the outside world was very clear.
The dozens of layers of defensive devices protecting the egg had completely failed after the severe impact. Next to the egg laid a silver colored necklace of unknown material. Xie Tao lowered his head and happen to see that there was a ring strung on the necklace. On the ring, the words “Ya Yi” were engraved.
The outside world was still in a state of ignorance. The cub could only stay among these damaged ruins and quietly wait.
Wait for the shell to crack open, or for soone to co to this place and pick him up.
Xie Tao had not known that the cub had had a clear sense of the outside world at this ti, while still inside the egg. He wanted nothing more than to pick up the lonely egg and pat it, but he could not do it.
This place should be the Knox’s spiritual realm, Xie Tao had co to this conclusion based on various conditions.
As for why he ca here, Xie Tao thought about it, but at present could only think of the legend about the moonstone.
The egg spent a day in these deserted ruins, then two... Quietly waiting for a long ti, for soone to find him. The planet which had turned into a relic finally received visitors, it was a Star Alliance unit sent to search through the ruins. The one who had later found the egg.
It should have been a good thing, but from the mont the egg was found, Xie Tao started to feel more and more negative emotions though the shared perception.
Heavy, like a shadow clinging to his heart, weighing it down.
The other’s negative feelings gradually transford into an extrely cold thing. With the accumulation of such negative feelings, Xie Tao saw that the shell of the egg slowly changed from white to black.
The ti flow accelerated unwittingly. Xie Tao watched the cub’s life unfold before his eyes almost like a slideshow, but he could not see the end.
Because while looking at it, the world before Xie Tao’s eyes had been darkening and then finally completely sunk into darkness.
This dark was the darkness in Ya Yi’s heart.
“——” At the mont his vision was completely plunged into darkness, just as if having had a long dream, Xie Tao at last returned to his original world when he opened his eyes again.
Lightly releasing a breath, Xie Tao sat up from the bed.
