"And then?" I asked.

The woman smiled bitterly: "Later, they disappeared and never appeared again, we don't know what the situation is outside, we can only hide in this darkness all the time, waiting for them to appear, waiting for them to come to save us again, but until now, they have never appeared......"

"Perhaps, they are really ......"

Listening to this woman, this was hundreds of years ago, so these people have been living in the dark for hundreds of years, and after hundreds of years of development, she is the only one left in their clan!

"But you're down, how can you explain that?" The woman asked me with a smile.

I was surprised: "No, no, no, it's impossible, I was sent in by a little girl, how can that little girl live for hundreds of years?" ”

The woman smiled: "You are too young to guard the people of the Spirit Clan, the people of the Spirit Guard Clan are fed by the blood of the Snow Deer Lord, and they can almost be said to be immortal, even if hundreds of years have passed, they still look like children, so there is nothing strange about that." ”

"What, are you kidding me? How is it possible for anyone in this world to live for hundreds of years? ”

"Kid, you don't know it, right? Nothing is impossible......"

I was skeptical of the woman's words, but ...... She didn't seem to be lying.

According to her logic, Cen Haoyue was a person hundreds of years ago? Hehe, what are you kidding, how is this possible?

Hundreds of years ago, people looked like a little girl of fifteen or sixteen, is this subverting my concept?

Seeing that I had been silent, the woman continued, "We have lived underground for decades since the departure of the Guardian and the Substitute, but unfortunately the Simas were about to start setting traps in their territory, and they dug a hole and found us. That was also the beginning of our nightmare, they used us as their venting tool, and every day a lot of Sima men would rush in, scrambling to be the first to rush in......"

This time the woman spoke in an understated tone, but who knows how much helplessness and bitterness she hides in this understatement?

I listened quietly, and the woman added, "The name Dark Heaven began to spread widely at this time, and even the Sima tribe used this place as a place to receive distinguished guests...... Over time, there are fewer and fewer people in our clan, and now, I am the only one left......"

I sighed, "I see, so you think I'm your guest, right?" ”

"Yes, but...... You didn't come in through the entrance, but through the tunnel, and no one knew the mechanism of the tunnel except the Guardian and the substitute, not even the people of the Sima tribe, and we were hoping day and night that they would come back and get us out of here, but alas...... Year after year, they still didn't show up. Our descendants have begun to wonder if the Guardians that our ancestors told us really existed, or perhaps they were just a lie they had deliberately concocted to give us hope to continue living in the dark. ”

"So, you've been waiting here for this one hope?"

"Yes...... For this one hope, we have waited in the dark for hundreds of years, and we have to suffer day and night without light, and this torture is psychological, but the thought that the watchman and the substitute may appear again makes us less painful......"

I muttered, "Just for that little bit...... Hope is already very slim......"

"Yes!" The woman heard me, qr1

People live for a lifetime, just for a breath, just for that breath.

But these people don't even have a chance to breathe, and they are still stubbornly surviving in this underground world, which makes me feel a little emotional.

The woman said, "Your appearance has made me more convinced that the guardians and substitutes really exist, and even if I die in the future and we are genocidated, I will not regret it, because we have held on to our beliefs for hundreds of years...... It's really......"

The woman's voice was already a little sobbing, and I didn't know whether her tone was full of regret that she had not waited for rescue for hundreds of years, or the joy of finally fulfilling her belief for hundreds of years.

I asked, "What is the situation in this place now?" ”

If it is really according to the woman, this is a place specially used by the Sima tribe to entertain distinguished guests, then ...... Can I get out of here?

The woman said, "Do you want to get out of here?" ”

"Yes......"

"Then you can walk out directly from here, and the Sima people who are guarding the gate of the Dark Heaven will definitely treat you as a distinguished guest."

"Why?" I asked curiously.

The woman smiled, "Isn't it simple?" Because the entrance was sealed by the Simas, not for them to put in, you can't get in at all, and the Sima don't know that there is such a mechanism in the tunnel, so even if you go out now, they will treat you as a ...... Distinguished guest ......"

"I see......," I asked, "then, why don't you escape from the mechanism in the tunnel?" ”

Yes, knowing that there is a mechanism in the tunnel, if you don't escape, isn't it the act of a fool to suffer in this dark paradise?

"Because promises ......," said the woman proudly, "we promised them to wait here for them, and if they come back one day and can't find us, we have broken our promises......"

I said with some indignation, "You are not called trustworthy, you are called ignorance, you are called ignorance, you are called bigoted, you are called bigoted......

"Really?"

"Yes, you are not foolish at the cost of the lives of one clan, just to wait for two people who will never appear again?"

"Perhaps......" the woman chuckled, "but we're willing to ......"

"Hey......"

I can't help but feel a little sad, such a race, where is the cruel Sima tribe who traps them here? It is clearly themselves who are willing to live here for the sake of that illusory belief.

"So, don't you think I'm a slut......"

"No, it won't."

The woman smiled and said, "What is the purpose of your coming to the Sima tribe?" Where are you from? ”

I thought about it for a moment and said to the woman, "I'm not from Lost Deer Island, because the plane I was on crashed in Lost Deer Island, so I ......"

"What is an airplane?" The woman interrupted me curiously.

I think it's normal that their race has lived here for hundreds of years and doesn't know about airplanes.

I explained: "It's just a means of transportation, specially manned, but it can fly in the sky, and it's fast......"

"Really? Aren't birds the only ones who can fly in the sky? The woman's voice expressed her infinite longing for the plane.
