506 shocked
Brilliant light burst out from the crystal old man's eyes, and then, multiple colored threads emerged from the shining crystal, which looked somewhat illusory from the outside.
A hint of mockery appeared on the crystal old man's face, and the colored lines immediately disappeared into the air as if they were attracted by something.
"Beatrice, it's time for this farce to end, I can't let you ruin my plans...", a childlike voice echoed through the underground space.
Donnie didn't know anything about all this, and he was still in joy at this time. Of course, the journey across space is still not over. If Donnie's strength hadn't improved through this period of time, it would be very difficult to leave the deep spirit realm directly, even if he used the Endless Path.
But what he and the paper goblin didn't notice was that the strange lines seemed to have their own life and will, cut through the space and got in, and quietly crossed the distance that could not be expressed by distance, and came behind Donnie and the paper goblin.
Leaving the deep realms and not finding a way to the upper realms is an extremely dangerous journey for any transcendent, even for Downey and the Paper Elves today. Because of this, Donnie's nerves were tense all the time, but nothing really happened.
But it could also be that it happened a long time ago, but none of them found out.
In short, after an uncertain journey of time, Donnie finds himself in a desolate city.
The sky kept changing, one moment taking on an eerie rust color, as if it were about to rain blood, and the next moment the clouds dispersed, revealing a sky full of garbage.
In contrast, the city where Donnie and the others lived was relatively calm, at least not constantly changing.
The city around Donnie and the others doesn't look very large, the dilapidated buildings are overgrown with vines, including flowers that resemble human hands and feet... Or the creeper that bears fruit.
As Donnie and the others walked down the deserted streets, the hands and feet would secretly change direction, as if they were watching them forward.
In fact, Downey soon discovers that these flowers or fruits that resemble human siblings are really looking at himself and the paper elves, as these strange plants have eyes on them.
Not to mention what weirdness they were, but the twisted shape was enough to make Donnie feel uncomfortable. But it must be said that there are more bizarre things than their shapes, and it's not hard to see more of them.
On the one hand, Donnie is in a weakened state after casting spells and endless paths, and on the other hand, these weirdos who are sneaking at them have not made any further moves, so Donnie and the paper goblins have not been the first to get rid of these weirdness.
In the middle of the city, it is not difficult to find a suitable place to rest for a while. It didn't take long for Downey and the others to find a dilapidated building without annoying hands and feet.
There's no longer a price to pay for using the Eye of Knowledge, so Donnie plans to take a break and see if there are any hidden dangers in himself and the paper elves.
Relatively speaking, Donnie is still one of the more cautious people among the extraordinary, but along the way, he is deeply aware that he still has a lot of shortcomings, although he wants to improve, but there is still no effect.
Sitting in this dilapidated room at this time, Donnie couldn't help but be a little depressed, the experience during this time was indeed not pleasant, although the harvest was not small, but strictly speaking, it had nothing to do with him, if he had to say, it was only not bad that he was not crushed by the pain.
Donnie quickly got out of his frustration, which was actually not a difficult task for him, after all, after so many blows, Downey was also a little used to it.
"We've come out of the deep spiritual realm, haven't we?" The paper goblin gobled down a book before asking.
Donnie tried to sense it, and found that it was true, in fact, he had already had this kind of speculation since he saw this desolate city, and now he had turned it into reality.
"Indeed, we are out!" There was also a hint of joy in Donnie's tone, it was a joy to be able to come back from the deep spiritual realm and be so close to reality.
"Wait a few more hours, and we'll be able to get out of here and see if it's the Free Federation out there." Donnie said as he pulled out some food from the Empty Wing Backpack that was in the midst of the mutation. The air-wing backpack can still maintain the most basic control, and it doesn't look like it's changed much.
But in fact, the airfed backpack is now in the midst of a critical metamorphosis, and if it succeeds, it may emerge as its own consciousness.
It was at this moment that Downey suddenly noticed that the contact book he had previously placed in his empty wing backpack had changed. This kind of communication notebook is generally very useful and eliminates the need for more tedious communication steps, but in the midst of snow fragments and dangerous places that are difficult to explore in the deep spiritual realm, the use of a contact book is basically lost. No matter who sent the message, you can't see it.
Now it's different, Donnie struggled out of the deep spirit world, and there are not many restrictions in the first level of the spirit world, so the information that he couldn't find Donnie before jumped out.
It is conservatively estimated that Donnie's trip will also take a week, which is not a long time, but it is not very short, and it is normal for someone to look for him.
Downey wasn't worried about that, because he felt that there should be nothing to please, except, of course, that Lawrence was looking for himself.
While eating, Donnie took out the contact book, but when he opened it, he was stunned at first glance.
"What? Mizuri disappeared? ”
Downey glanced at the name, it was a message from Lawrence to himself. Compared to Donnie's luck, Lawrence's luck was obviously much better, he didn't fall into the snow with Donnie and the paper goblins, but left the Sea of Nothingness and Reflection City, returned to reality, and appeared near Mizuri.
But what happened next was interesting, and it wasn't long before the large city of Mizuri disappeared.
Last time, the Farabeta district of Myzuri was fused by the spirit realm, leaving a lake in its place. Either way, the city still exists, and although it has been damaged, there is always a chance to recover after a while, but now, according to Lawrence, the entire city has been lost without a trace, and only a bare plain remains. This is something that Donnie didn't expect at all.
