2| Memories of the fault
Nono returned to the house. Her snow-white swimsuit was already dyed red. She could only cover her wound tightly with her hand. Nono leaned against the sink and released her hand. Blood immediately splattered out again, splattering red on the mirror opposite her. Nono's face had already turned pale from excessive blood loss, but she still did not wake the servants at home. Instead, she took the first aid kit, disinfected it, and wrapped the wound with gauze.
Her mind went blank. There shouldn't be anything hard underwater, and the water pressure in the swimming pool shouldn't be able to force the wound open. Then why did the wound that was about to heal open for no reason? Why did he, who had always been a good swimmer, drown in such a shallow swimming pool? It was definitely not because he had drunk alcohol, and he did not have cramps. However, when he was underwater, he had a very strange feeling.
It was said that when a person died, the soul would leave the body and float above the body to watch the body die, but there was nothing they could do. That was how it felt at that time, hopeless and helpless.
What was even stranger was the appearance of the golden pupils…Light should have represented hope, but the light that tore through the sky could only make him involuntarily feel fear and even more despair. Nono looked up at herself in the mirror and suddenly hummed a song softly, squeezing out a pale smile. Because her face in the mirror was pale, the corners of her mouth were not curved at all, and her dark red long hair was messy and messy, dripping with water, making her face even paler. She did not like her haggard self.
But slowly, she could no longer smile.
At this moment, she looked very much like her mother in the mirror.
To many people, her mother was like a blurry silhouette. She had dark red long hair, a beautiful face, a brilliant smile, and an " A " class and a powerful voice…Nono had known many people from the dragon-slaying family since she was young. They all said that her mother was the best of her generation. However, within a month after his mother's death, everyone quickly forgot about his mother, including his father. From then on, Nono began to call herself an orphan.
Her mother was like a star in front of outsiders. Perhaps it was because she was too dazzling that people quickly forgot about her after this star died. But to Nono, her mother was her mother.
Her mother would attend many dragon slaying meetings, but no matter how late she came back, she would always quietly come to Nono's bed and give her a gentle kiss. His mother would often bring Nono to the amusement park. His mother would hug Nono and ride the merry-go-round together, never getting tired of it. When Nono had a fever, his mother would put down all the important things at hand and rush back. She would pour tea and blow it carefully to cool it down before feeding Nono a little medicine... A mother was a mother, irreplaceable.
In fact, Nono liked her mother for another reason. Only her mother would not force her to walk the path of slaying dragons.
Her mother always said things like " she's still young, she shouldn't take on such a heavy mission too early " and repeatedly rejected the people who knocked on her door and asked to take Nono away for training.
Nono, who had just turned six, would only grab the corner of her mother's clothes. Her mother would always pat her head dotingly." It's okay now, baby. I'll make you anything you want to eat."”
To the little Nono, her mother was everything.
In fact, Nono still thought that if she had not accidentally entered the dragon's territory that night, her mother would still be alive and well, right? He would even kiss Nono gently when she was asleep.
Only then would Nono sleep peacefully.
Nono slowly sat down on the white tiles. Blood had already seeped out of the gauze. Nono took a deep breath. The memories in the depths of his heart and brain started to hurt.
I was only six years old back then…|strange space
Nono suddenly woke up. The cuckoo clock on the wall pointed to eleven o'clock. She went to bed at eight o'clock. It had been three hours, and her mother had not returned yet.
Nono wanted to cry. Her mother was very busy every day, and she had been so busy that she could not enter the house in the past few months. Tonight, her mother could not tell her a story again. Snow White from the day before yesterday had not finished. In fact, Nono had already finished reading the entire Grimm's Fairy Tales, but she just wanted her mother to tell her. She felt that the fairy tale that came from her mother's mouth was the fairy tale.
Nono felt a little hungry. She struggled to get off the bed, put on her slippers, and hugged her favorite rabbit doll. She wanted to go to the fridge to find some food. The six-year-old Nono had already slowly matured because her parents were often away from home.
There was nothing in the fridge today. Nono closed the door of the fridge that she had spent a lot of effort to open in disappointment. Actually, there was dinner prepared by the part-time worker on the table, but it did not taste like her mother's, so she did not want to eat it.
Nono dragged her feet and slowly walked towards her room.
She suddenly felt as if there was sand jumping and rustling in the wall. She pressed her ear against the wall. There was a strange hissing sound mixed with the rustling sound as it traveled through the wall.
Nono was not afraid. She had been a big sister among big sisters since she was young and had almost reached the realm of a queen. What was there to be afraid of? However, Nono was still very cautious. Her first reaction was that there was a thief in the house. She quietly ran back to her room to get a small bag and walked towards the source of the sound.
There was a children's flashlight, a model knife, and a plastic nunchaku in the bag. Nono had already prepared this small bag. She really wanted to catch a thief or do a good deed and be a little hero. Perhaps this would allow her parents to take some time to…look at her more. Nono walked along the wall in the darkness. Her voice became louder and louder, and she could hear it clearly without leaning against the wall.
Nono suddenly missed a step. She retracted her foot in time and shone the flashlight down. Below them was not the bottomless abyss or anything like Nono had imagined. It was just a flight of stairs, and Nono was standing on the top step of the stairs. It was dark below, and there was no light. The children's flashlight could not shine far. They could only see a few steps, and the narrow and long steps seemed to be endless. Nono had never thought that there would be such a place in her house. Her voice flowed down the wall beside the steps. Nono was extremely excited. She walked down the steps without saying a word. No one knew how a six-year-old girl had such courage.
The deeper they went, the more humid the air became, and the surroundings became colder. Nono was only wearing a summer nightgown, and she kept shivering. The small bag in her hand seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. Nono simply threw it away, leaving only the flashlight in her hand. Her voice grew louder and louder, which dispelled her thoughts of returning.
The sound suddenly disappeared. Nono widened her eyes and pressed her ear against the wall. The cold wall was actually made of stone! She pulled her ears back and quickly blew a breath of hot air on her hands before rubbing them.
Nono knocked on the stone wall, and there was a distant and empty echo. Other than that, there was silence.
She was dragging the children's flashlight in her small hand, but it was obvious that the battery was about to run out, and the light was starting to turn yellow. The worst thing was that the light from this small flashlight was the only light here. When the flashlight was extinguished, the place would fall into complete darkness.
Nono suddenly heard the sound of water. Beep…beep. She suddenly felt afraid. It seemed like a voice was approaching from behind…but it didn't seem to be there. She screamed and ran forward with all her might.
It had to be said that Nono was really reckless. He was not afraid even after walking for nearly an hour in the dark and narrow path that led to an unknown place. Now, when he heard the sound of water, he was so scared that he fled like a rabbit.
Actually, she was not afraid. It was just that her heart started to palpitate for no reason.
Nono suddenly missed her step. Due to inertia, she fell forward and landed solidly in a puddle.
" Aiyo…" Nono rubbed her butt as she stood up. She was suddenly stunned.
What appeared in front of her was a huge space. Stalactites were everywhere, and water was dripping down at every moment, drip…drip. It seemed that the sound he heard just now came from here, but why were there so many stalactites? From the side to the inside, they were arranged in an orderly manner. They were also flickering with a dark green light. They were grand and solemn, giving off a sense of pressure, as if…they were a miracle! 4| A smoky battle
Nono was drenched, but she just stood there silently, looking up at the dome as if she was on a pilgrimage.
She suddenly came to her senses and looked around in horror. The light from the flashlight had gone out. Although the green light was enough for her to see her surroundings clearly, it still made him a little uncomfortable.
She wrung the water off her dress and grabbed the torchlight that had run out of battery as if it was her last straw. She walked slowly towards the center of the space. There was a lake there. The surface of the lake was as smooth as a mirror, without any ripples. A speck of green light spread out from the center of the lake, like a huge emerald.
Nono's feet were already swollen from walking for more than an hour, and she was squeezed into the small slippers. However, she was very curious about where she was and why there was such a world below her house. Water was dripping everywhere. Nono's dark red braids had already absorbed enough water.
Suddenly, a gust of cold air rushed towards Nono. Nono was caught off guard and was flipped to the ground.
She opened her eyes. A strange rumbling sound echoed in the huge space. The water droplets hanging on the stalactites were shaken down and hit the wet ground. Nono looked around in horror, unable to find the source of the sound. It was as if he was in a huge machine, and now the engine of this machine was starting to run.
Nono was very close to the lake, but there was a pressure pressing down on her, making her unable to get up. What was it? What was it?
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the stone wall at the other end of the space cracked! The stalactites around the stone wall were instantly shattered. Pieces of gravel flew into the lake, creating fine waves.
Two figures gradually appeared in the smoke…No, they looked a little like the little monsters in Ultraman…Nono took a few steps back and looked at the two people in front of her in horror. Did they break the stone wall? It was becoming more and more like a little monster. Even its destructive power was the same.
Nono's elbow touched a relatively large rock. She quickly lay behind the rock, splashing a little water with her feet.
"You've still fallen for the trap!”A string of bell-like laughter came from the person on the left. The smoke slowly dispersed, and the naked, ashen-skinned figure became clear. Why was it green? Nono had seen too many things that were beyond her understanding tonight. Unfortunately, she still found it quite fun…
She still didn't know the danger.
"How can you enter Nibelungenlied and let me in? Aren't you a third generation?" The one on the right whose arms and calves were covered in greenish-gray scales sounded surprised. His dark red hair covered his face, and his back was facing Nono. His back was very familiar, but Nono could not remember who it was at the moment.
"Do you think that the third generation descendant would still be alive after being attacked by you?‘Scarlet Rainbow." The tone of the person on the left suddenly became cold, but it also carried a seductive charm.
Nono shivered slowly. Firstly, it was because the atmosphere in the cave had suddenly turned cold. Secondly, she had heard that name too many times.
Ever since Nono could remember, there had been people constantly coming to her mother to say things like " dragon " and " prince." Without exception, they all addressed her as " Red Rainbow ", even though her mother's real name was not this name.
Nono tried her best to open her eyes wide, trying to see if the back view in front of her was her mother.
The two of them suddenly moved! The person on the left suddenly turned into a blurry shadow and rushed towards the person on the right at high speed. In almost an instant, the person on the right dodged and at the same time, circled around the back of the person on the left and slashed down with the sharp claws of one hand! In an instant, the person on the left had moved five meters away and was leisurely fiddling with his hair.
"Is this your true speed?”The person on the right also stopped, but he was slightly out of breath. He was now facing Nono.
She must have seen wrongly! Nono clung to the rock in a daze, her eyes wide open in fear.
That monster-like woman in the distance…was she really her mother? She was still wearing the same set of clothes she had worn when she left.
"Hehehe…It's far more than that!”The face of the person on the left suddenly became ferocious, and she became a blurry shadow again.
A new round of attacks began.
5| sacrifice
The two of them began to fly in the karst cave. The stalactites formed over thousands or even tens of thousands of years seemed to be abnormally fragile. They turned into powder the moment the shadow passed by and scattered down, covering Nono, who was in extreme fear. The water droplets in the karst cave fell down one after another due to the huge vibration and splashed on Nono's body. She now looked like a small person covered in mud.
At first, the two figures could still be seen by the naked eye, but later on, they had completely surpassed the speed of sound. The entire huge space was shaking because of the battle between the two.
Nono's eyes were shaking as she hugged her head and curled up. She was still a child and could only protect herself like this when she was in danger.
The red figure had been chasing after the green figure, but the situation suddenly reversed. Nono's mother retreated quickly and crashed into the stone wall with a deafening sound. She quickly dodged to the right as if there was a dense attack chasing after her. The monster-like woman just stopped in place with a cold smile on her lips.
Nono's mother retreated to a corner before stopping. She asked in a hoarse voice,"You have the accelerating spirit…why do you have the attacking spirit?”There was a bloody wound on her right arm. Although it was healing, it could still be seen that the wound was deep into the bone.
Nono suddenly saw clearly that the green woman was surrounded by a faint golden halo. Countless ice thorns appeared out of thin air around her body, splitting into four and stabbing forward, piercing straight into the opposite rock wall. The thorn on the upper right corner was indeed dripping with bright red blood. A few threads of blood seeped into the icicles. The bright red and icy blue looked devilish under the green light in the space.
"Hehehe ~ You still don't know who I am? "Oh right, how could you know me, lowly human?" The green woman stood up straight and looked at the red-haired woman in the corner with a gaze that was either mocking or mischievous. The ice thorns slowly retracted and circled around her, twisting…How could ice be soft? Nuo Nuo's kindergarten teacher had taught her that ice was hard…Nuo Nuo was stunned. Too many things had happened today that were beyond her understanding. She was at a loss.
Every human would have such a reaction when facing the real world.
Nono's mother suddenly quieted down. She stared at the woman, but her mouth was rapidly chanting a brand new language. The syllables burst out one by one and quickly turned into surging power. It fluctuated from the corner where she was and rapidly expanded. The stalactites in the domain shattered and turned into powder when they fell into the air.
"No wonder it's Red Rainbow…You have such a dangerous spirit, how dare that crazy Cassel executive department take you in?”There was a hint of panic in the woman's voice, but she quickly regained her composure." Do you really think it's worth it to use this kind of spiritual language to deal with me? Don't you know the danger you're about to face?”
Nono's mother stopped after she finished reading." I've always felt that you're not an ordinary dragon. You're very likely to be higher than a third-generation dragon. The sooner you're eliminated, the better. Otherwise, it'll be difficult for Little Tong to kill you when she receives the mission in the future…" She actually began to make sacred and solemn gestures. The power in the cave fluctuated and became even more intense.
"…It really is that Yan Ling!”The woman could no longer hide her fear. She seemed to have thought of something, and the stiff muscles on her face suddenly relaxed. A smug smile appeared on her lips."Thank you for reminding me ~"
The ice thorns suddenly smashed towards the stalagmite in front of Nono. Nono closed his eyes tightly, and the stalagmite instantly turned into tens of thousands of fragments, hitting Nono's face with a crackling sound. Most of them flew past Nono and flew backward. Nono endured the pain on her face and did not dare to move, thinking that she could hide herself like this.
"…Little Tong?" Nono opened her eyes and saw her mother's eyes wide open. She was looking at her with all kinds of complicated emotions in her eyes.
"... Mommy..." Nuo Nuo called out timidly. She was not sure if she was her mother. The woman in front of her…had red and golden eyes.
" Little Tong…" Nono's mother's face suddenly revealed a look of fear." Run…quickly leave this place!”
Nono followed her mother's gaze and saw an ice spike stabbing towards her! Nono fell to the ground. Her mother stood in front of her, blocking her way. The thorn stabbed straight into her chest. Her eyes were unfocused, but she still used all her strength to push Nono." Little Tong…let's go!”The spirit was forced to stop because of her movement, and the hot air in the cave instantly became cold.
" Mom…" Suddenly, tears rolled down Nono's eyes.
She was only six years old and did not know anything. She did not even know why she was crying. However, a long time later, Nono thought that many of her emotions were learned during that time. Sadness, anger... hatred.
Nono could only run towards the exit in her memory, because her mother had broken the crystal-clear but ruthless thorns and rushed towards the green woman.
They had arrived. Outside the narrow hole was an endless staircase, but it was the hope of life.
Nono finally turned around and saw her mother standing at the center of the huge lake. The entire lake was covered in clusters of icicles that spread up crazily, forming a huge cage that locked her mother inside. Then, the entire cage was filled with icicles…There was a bright red dot in the center, the color of blood. It slowly seeped out and formed a huge totem.
That picture was forever engraved in Nono's eyes, etched in her heart.
"The sacrifice begins, hehehe ~" The woman's sharp laughter echoed in the huge space again.
Nono wiped her tears…She still couldn't understand what had happened, only…endless sorrow.
Nono walked up the stairs. Her shoes had long been lost. Nono's two feet had been soaked in water and running for so long that they had long developed blisters. However, she did not feel any pain. She just walked as if she was going to complete some mission.
The messy purple lines twisted…
He took another turn.
The black dragon roared wildly in the blood-red sky…
They would arrive after another turn.
In the depths of the altar, the girl was writhing and screaming, and the priests were singing ancient hymns…
Soon.
The ancient language echoed in the icy blue palace. The golden eyes of the king with the skeleton as the seat, the faces that the black shadows could never remember…
Level two, level one…
Suddenly, rose petals fell. Her mother's face was pale as she slept peacefully among the petals. She had fallen asleep forever and would never wake up again.
She was dead. She was dead.
No one would call him Little Tong anymore…No more…
Nono suddenly screamed. It was just past two o'clock…In three hours, she had lost the most important person to her.
That face…was her enemy…enemy!
Hatred.
Nono's father opened the door.
The food on the table was still from two days ago. Strange, isn't the part-time worker here? Nono's father turned into Nono's room in confusion and was shocked by the two people in front of him who were in strange postures.
"Mo Tong, why is your mother sleeping in your room?”Nono's father quickly went to help his mother. He felt her cold body temperature and was stunned for a long time.
"Mo Tong…your mother…is dead?”Nono's father squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.
" Ink pupil?!"
"My name is Nono."
Nono's father was stunned. His daughter's hair was disheveled. At this moment, she raised her head, and there was a strange gaze in her eyes.
"My name is Nono!" She let out a low roar like a little lion, mixed with tears.
