Chapter 230 Phantom
Gu Yang stood in front of the gate, his heart full of doubts.
Where did this portal come from?
Where does it lead?
Should he step into this portal?
Countless questions swirled in his mind, but he knew that he had no other choice.
He took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and stepped into the portal.
The moment Gu Yang stepped into the portal, he felt a powerful force surrounding him. His body was pulled by this force, constantly spinning and twisting.
He wanted to struggle, but found that he could not move at all. He could only let this force control him, his heart filled with helplessness and fear.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yang felt that the force disappeared and his body stopped spinning.
He opened his eyes and found himself back in the pure white world again.
But this time, a path paved with black stone bricks appeared in front of him, winding forward, seemingly leading to some unknown destination.
Gu Yang stood up and dusted himself off. Although his heart was still full of doubts, he no longer had the panic he had before.
Since you don’t know where your destination is, just keep walking forward, you will always find something.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then stepped firmly onto the path, heading towards the unknown future.
His perception gradually became sharper as he went deeper into the trail, and he began to autonomously capture the breath of life ahead.
This made him feel a little more relaxed, at least it was no longer dead silent here.
He quickened his pace, hoping to find some clues to solve the mystery of this pure white world.
However, for Hu Qing, the scene just now was another terrifying scene.
In his sight, the gate that Gu Yang had just entered was extremely terrifying.
The huge black gate had countless ancient Yang heads embedded in the door frame, and each head exuded a gloomy black aura.
The expressions of these heads vary, some are ferocious, some are sad, and some are desperate, as if they are the embodiment of the fear and pain deep in Gu Yang's heart.
When Hu Qing looked over, the heads all stared at him, as if mocking his uselessness.
Hu Qing's heart tightened. He wanted to warn Gu Yang, but found that he could not make any sound at all.
He could only watch Gu Yang walk step by step towards the terrifying door, his heart filled with powerlessness.
Even though Gu Yang was not hurt at the moment, Hu Qing was already trembling.
He felt extremely cold, cold from the inside out. He stopped moving and squatted inside Gu Yang's body, huddling together to keep warm.
Gu Yang was still walking on the path, getting closer and closer to the breath of life he sensed.
He also felt the breath in front of him getting stronger and stronger, and his heartbeat accelerated.
He didn't know what was waiting for him ahead, but there was a voice in his mind constantly tempting him to go ahead and find the exit of this pure white space.
The path ahead disappeared, and in its place appeared a reflective lake, a lake stretching as far as the eye could see.
Gu Yang looked at the clear lake water below, reached out to touch it, but found that there was a thin film blocking the surface.
He stretched out his fingers and touched it twice. The film was extremely solid, so he stepped on it hard. After finding that there was nothing abnormal or cracked, he walked up with confidence.
Gu Yang's footsteps echoed on the lake, and every step seemed to step on the heartstrings, stirring up ripples.
Soon, we passed through the lake. It seemed endless, but unexpectedly it was all light reflected from the pure white space. In fact, it was only a few dozen meters wide.
His eyes were fixed on the three gradually enlarging black spots in front of him, and his heart beat faster involuntarily.
As the distance shortened, the three black dots gradually became clearer and eventually turned into the figures of three little boys, whose faces were so familiar in Gu Yang's memory.
These were his childhood playmates. Together they ran on the country roads, caught fish in the stream, and chased the sunset in the fields.
Those carefree days, as if replaying yesterday, brought a warm feeling to Gu Yang's heart.
However, when their appearance was fully revealed in front of Gu Yang, he couldn't help but be stunned - why did they still look like they did when they were children?
A strange feeling welled up in Gu Yang's heart, but he didn't have time to delve into it because his heart was filled with the joy of reunion.
I didn't expect to meet someone in this deserted space, and it was an old friend.
He quickened his pace, a long-lost smile on his face, and walked towards them.
"Tiedan, Zhuzi, Xiaogou, why are you here?"
There was a slight tremor in Gu Yang's voice, and his mood was complicated, with both surprise and confusion.
However, what responded to him were the three children with ashen faces. There was no warmth in their eyes, only indifference and weirdness.
They looked at Gu Yang and suddenly revealed a strange smile, which was particularly dazzling in the pure white world.
"Orphan Gu Yang, a child no one wants..." One of the children suddenly spoke, his voice sharp and piercing.
The three of them began to laugh at Gu Yang loudly. The laughter echoed in the empty world, making Gu Yang's heart tighten.
"Your parents don't want you anymore, how can you still have the face to live in this world?" another child continued, their words were like sharp blades, piercing deep into Gu Yang's soul.
Gu Yang's face turned pale in an instant, and his body trembled slightly. These were the pains in his heart that he was most reluctant to touch.
He is an orphan and his parents died early. This is his lifelong regret and also his greatest pain.
He never thought that he would be ridiculed by his childhood playmates in such a situation.
"You...how could you say such things?" Gu Yang's voice was choked with sobs, and his eyes were full of pain and confusion.
The three children did not answer. They just continued to laugh at Gu Yang and even made up limericks to mock him.
"Qingtian Guyang, without a father or a mother..."
The poem was simple and sharp, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Gu Yang's heart.
A surge of anger surged in Gu Yang's heart. He felt that his dignity was being trampled upon and his past was being ruthlessly revealed.
Hu Qing was a little shocked, not because of the words of these three little beasts, but because of their faces.
In his opinion, these three people all had Gu Yang's face, and their mouths opened and closed, which was really too weird.
This time the inner demon was really tricky. Just as Hu Qing was about to try to call Gu Yang, that biting cold feeling came over his heart again.
He punched the barriers around him hard, then fell to the ground powerlessly, his limbs shaking uncontrollably.
Gu Yang suddenly felt his heart vibrate inexplicably twice. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms, causing a slight pain but also keeping him awake.
"This can't be true." Gu Yang muttered to himself. He knew that all this was too weird. His playmate couldn't be here, let alone say such a thing.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and began to carefully observe the three children in front of him.
He found that although their faces were exactly the same as the playmates in his memory, their eyes were empty and their expressions were stiff, like puppets being manipulated.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.
"You are not my playmates, you are just illusions." Gu Yang opened his eyes, his voice firm and powerful, he had seen through their true faces.
The smiles of the three children suddenly froze, their bodies gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared into the air.
There was nothing in front of Gu Yang again, only the path still stretched into the distance.
Gu Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Although his heart was still full of doubts, he at least knew that he was safe.
It seems that this pure white world is full of unknowns and dangers, and every step may be a trap.
He continued along the path, his mind filled with caution.
The inexplicable voice in my mind appeared again, still constantly confusing me.
"Let's go... Let's go... There are countless treasures ahead..."
"I'm so annoyed, could you please shut up!"
Gu Yang really couldn't stand it anymore and shouted loudly, but he didn't expect that the voice really disappeared.
Hu Qing was also startled. He thought Gu Yang could hear him talking, but looking at his appearance, it was not likely.
