Memory is a wonderful thing, and if you lose it, you will desperately search for it, but when you find it, you will want to give up those painful and desperate parts.

There was not much emotion in Anna's gaze, and it was even a little too calm, and Roger even felt that her whole person was much more relaxed.

"You know Roger, I wandered around the cemetery countless times before I could recover my memories."

"The bodies of some people were buried in the soil, and their flesh and blood were absorbed by me, and their souls opened before my eyes like a diary."

"I've looked through their memories, I've felt their pain and their joys, and I've imagined my past countless times."

"Not bad."

Anna unexpectedly showed a rare smile, "It's not as bad as I imagined." ”

She sighed, "The only thing I regret is that I have too few memories to retrieve, after all, I was too young at the time, my soul was weak, and I didn't leave too many memories. ”

"The only thing missing is about mothers."

"I can't even remember her face or her name."

"But luckily I found myself."

She stretched out her hand and solemnly introduced herself: "Anna Lieta. ”

"Roger, thank you for being with you all the way."

Anna stepped forward and hugged Roger, "It's a shame I don't have my own body......"

Hearing Anna's voice in his ears, Roger was slightly stunned, a trace of bad premonition welled up in his heart, he reached out to grab Anna's shoulder, and it was cold in his hand.

Immediately after that, Anna's whole person became illusory.

"What's going on?"

"It's the price."

Anna laughed, "In order to retrieve my memories, I had to venture into a deeper shadow world, where the fragments of memories that belonged to me were buried. ”

"If it weren't for that bloody handprint, I'm afraid I'd never have been able to come here and get everything back to me."

As soon as she finished speaking, everything around her began to crumble, and an invisible force tugged at Anna's right leg and left arm.

Roger suddenly understood something, the garden was his private domain, but Anna used a special method to enter another shadow world through the broken door of shadows.

That place was supposed to be the place where Lilith had used to transmit energy many years ago, and although Anna had found her memories here, the bones in her body had also attracted energy.

It's no longer indoctrination, it's taken away!

The true master of those energies wants to reclaim what she lost!

Roger looked up into the distance, as if he saw a huge woman's face in the rolling black mist.

Familiar faces, different temperaments.

That's Lilith!

Anna's left hand only had time to swipe over Roger's face, and in the next second, a strong traction separated the two.

"Come back!"

Roger roared angrily, and the power in his body exploded, but all this was useless under the influence of the rules of the world.

He continued to struggle, but when he came back to his senses, he found himself standing in front of the door at the end of the trail, and the bloody handprints on the door were gradually dissipating.

He continued to move forward, but there was an extra barrier in the space, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move even half a step.

The Door of Shadows is broken, a place that only Anna can enter briefly, not a complete passageway, but more like a garbage dump, mixed with the shadowy memories of the manor.

Roger felt like he had spent a long time inside, but in fact, the time between his entry and his departure was almost negligible.

"This damn door!"

Roger was desperate to get the Shadow Gate Fragment in the hands of the Dark Soul, and although he didn't know if it would be useful, it was the only way Roger could think of at the moment.

He soon contacted Gawain again and urged Gawain to speed up, Gawain naturally agreed, but after the end of the exchange, Roger was still a little uneasy, and took out his mobile phone to call Henrik.

"How?"

"It feels good to go to Gewei's promotion ceremony this time, right?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Henrik asked with a grin.

"What does it feel good about?"

"We're best friends, you don't have to hide it from me, tsk, such an important event, her invitation to you alone is enough to explain everything."

"Boy, please don't question my experience."

"Do you want me to talk to you?"

Henrik looked in a good mood.

"Don't talk nonsense, I've got you covered!"

Roger interrupted Henrik without hesitation, "When I first came to Ayrde, I once took you to meet a woman in the forest. ”

"Mountain girl, do you remember?"

"Ahem...... Ahem! ”

Henrik suddenly heard a violent cough on the phone.

A few seconds later, Henrik's low voice came from the other side, "Didn't you mean to be serious?" What is she mentioning? ”

Henrik's voice was a little uncomfortable.

"Huh."

Roger sneered.

"The last time I looked for her, it was serious, and this time it's the same, I have something important to ask her."

"As for you, if you didn't do anything serious in the cabin that night, then I don't know."

"What are you going to do?"

"Brother, I'm not the same person I used to be, I've found my harbor now, and I won't go out and fool around again."

Henrik categorically refused.

"I didn't let you go, the last time we separated, the mountain girl once gave you a thing, and you said that as long as you hold this thing, you can call her in a place where there is a forest."

"That's what I need."

Grave once said that the mountain girl only sees the people she wants to see, otherwise your call will have no effect.

In fact, after returning from Sleepy Hollow, Roger also tried to find the Mountain Maiden, but unfortunately, he tried several times, but he didn't get any response.

It's strange, it seems that he doesn't need to speak, and the mountain girl already knows what he wants to ask, and then in this way she rejects Roger in disguise?

But this time is different, not to mention the possible world behind the Broken Shadow Gate, even considering that Anna Roger wants to explore it.

He had to do something, or one day, Lilith would suddenly burst into his world through the shattered Shadow Gate, and the fun would be great.

"You mean the bamboo whistle."

Henrik finally understood Roger's purpose, and couldn't help but let out a sigh, "I didn't bring anything with me, I put it in the box at the bedside of the room, you can go inside and find it yourself." ”

At this time, Claudia's shout came from the phone, and Henrik hurriedly left a sentence and hung up.

"Pay attention to your body."

Roger pouted, of course he didn't intend to go to see the mountain girl with the intention of trading skin and flesh, the night passed quickly, and not long after the sun came out, Roger quietly left the manor and went into the nearby forest.

When you meet the mountain girl in the daytime, if you still plan to trade skin and flesh with each other, tsk, that scene must be very exciting.

The bamboo whistle made a birdsong that was very thin and came far, far away, but after waiting in the forest for a long time, Roger did not get any reply.

He continued to move forward, and continued to blow the bamboo whistle.

Again and again, slowly, clear cracks began to appear on the whistle.

When the energy above was about to run out, a sigh was heard in the woods.

"Why do you do this when you know I don't want to see you?"

Roger turned, and he walked through the lush trees, revealing an extra wooden house at the end of his sight.

A strangely shaped woman stood in front of the door, hunched over, ragged clothes and loose skin.

"I have a question for you."

"But why should I answer you?" The mountain girl said, a pigeon-like laugh coming out of her throat.

Roger didn't answer the question, "I've been wondering, how exactly do you answer people's calls in the forest?" ”

"This kind of ability doesn't seem strong, but the scope is large enough, and I've asked a lot of people, and even blaming it on racial nature is a bit too far-fetched."

"Until yesterday, I saw something special."

"Shadow."

Roger looked at the Mountain Maiden.

"Are you a shadow creature?"

"That beautiful body is who you are, and it exists in the shadow world."

The mountain girl raised her head, a hint of surprise flashed on her ugly face, "It seems that you have really discovered something by saying these words." ”

Roger was originally just guessing, but he was also very surprised to see the expression on the mountain girl's face.

"If your essence exists in the world of shadows, what do I see now?"

"What's so strange about that."

The mountain girl opened her mouth and revealed a mouth full of rotten teeth, "Since there are shadows, there must be light and shadow, nothing strange." ”

"All you see now is a shadow of me, a shadow of light and shadow projected on reality."

The mountain girl doesn't shy away from anything.

"But even if you guess where I came from, I don't seem obligated to help you."

She looked Roger up and down.

"You look handsome and strong, and while you may not be as interesting as your friends, you might be a good companion."

Hearing this, Roger couldn't help but shudder, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't, let's have a good exchange." ”

"There's always a way to satisfy both parties."

The mountain girl giggled, the woman's gaze was very penetrating, and Roger stood there, feeling as if he had been wheeled by her gaze several times.

However, he also knew that the mountain girl was just joking just now, and he quickly adjusted his mood, "We need to have a good talk." ”

"I might be able to help you solve the dilemma at hand."

Roger felt a train of thought be opened.

"There's only a limit to what you can really set foot in, the forest is just a prerequisite, and you're trapped in a fragment of a shadow world, and you can't get out of there."

"The only way to distract from reality is through shadows, and then to get in touch with the outside world."

Roger thought about the first two experiences and some of the things Henrik had mentioned to him.

"Whether it's sunlight or food, everything you perceive and see is like a bubble to you."

"Even the last time you had that kind of relationship with Henrik, you couldn't really experience it."

"Am I right?"

The mountain girl was silent.

It took a while for her to nod, and you were right, "But why should I believe you can help me?" ”

"The shadow world has cracked apart, forming countless fragments, and there is no way for anyone to leave it without a door."

"You guessed it, I can't get out of here, but you can't get in here either."

"So you can't help me."

She shook her head.

"Hope is a ray of light, but for the shadow it is a disaster."

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse me yet, I found a door and a small piece of the world behind it, but I came to you today because I found another door there!"

Roger said unhurriedly.

"That can't be!"

"Every shadow fragment is fixed, there is no such thing as a door that suddenly appears!"

The Mountain Maiden sneered, as if questioning the credibility of Roger's words.

"In addition to that broken door, I'm trying to find a fragment of the Shadow Gate!"

Roger described the fragment in the black soul's hand, and this time, the mountain girl's expression changed drastically.

"Is this true?"

= She muttered quietly.

"You idiot, don't be obsessed with his appearance, a guy like him is definitely an expert at cheating on women, I think you just want to get his body."

"You shameless bitch, give me control of your body and let me get rid of him!"

There was a curse from the hump of the mountain girl's back.

"But what if what he said is true?"

The mountain girl stopped.

"How many years have we not tasted food, and how many years have you not really had a man's body?!"

"Damn, don't say you don't want to!"

"You left the last whistle for that man, and even if you don't experience it, you'll want to try it a few more times, right?"

"I just think that guy is funny."

The face on the hump argued.

"Then listen to me honestly!" The Mountain Maiden raised her voice.

"How do you know if you don't try?"

"Maybe that's our only chance!"

She looked up at Roger, "Next time, next time you've found the pieces of the Shadow Gate, come find me in the forest!" ”

"I'll only be relieved when I see that thing, say, what are you going me to do for you?"

The Mountain Maiden stared at Roger like a hungry beast seeing a piece of delicious fresh meat.

Roger briefly recounted the incident, hiding some of the key points and the names of the characters.

"In fact, what you found is not a door at all, but a passage, your request is simple, when you find that piece of the Shadow Gate fragment, even if the fragment does not belong to that door, I can help you find a way to enter the world behind the door."

"But until then, I want you to help me get me out of this damn cage!"

Roger didn't know how many years the Mountain Maiden had been imprisoned, but it was supposed to be a long time.

"Deal!"

Roger nodded.

The two sides reached an agreement, and he took the mountain girl's repaired whistle and left the forest.

At the same time, on a street somewhere in Yingjiman, Gawain appeared calmly and calmly.

"Poor Lancelot, you can't just be depressed, I need you to help me do something important."

Gawain muttered to himself.
