Tang Yi saw a woman standing at the top of the treetop from a distance, and a rising full moon hung behind the woman, making the eight sharp claws stretched out behind the woman's back extremely clear, and making the woman's posture appear slender and graceful.

Suddenly, Tang Yi felt that this woman was like a lighthouse, illuminating and dispelling all the gloom in his heart, in short, it is a happy thing to have someone waiting, don't let down the people who are willing to wait for you.

"Tang Yi ......"

Elise shouted and waved her arms, and at this moment she finally let go of the fear in her heart that she had never felt before, and at the same time, she also somewhat understood why the hostess was so heartbroken in the first place.

Tang Yi directly hugged Elise and led her to the sky, Elise giggled happily, and then under her guidance, Tang Yi flew towards the most central position of the island.

It turned out that under the shade of the towering giant trees on all sides, there was a small clearing in the center, and in the middle of the clearing there was an ancient tower, and there were several wooden houses on both sides of the ancient tower.

Tang Yi landed on the grass with Elise in his arms, and glanced at the nearly a hundred statues on the grass in surprise, these statues are all the same appearance, but each posture is different, some open their arms, some put their hands behind their backs, as if they were carrying someone, some sat on the grass and bowed their heads and smiled, some knelt on one knee, and a statue sat on an old bench swing and stretched out an arm.

These statues are all lifelike, and it can be seen that he is a handsome and mature man, however, all the statues have a heart-shaped hole in the left chest.

Tang Yi took Elise's hand and slowly walked among the statues, and when he entered the first wooden house, he found that it was like a workshop, although he couldn't see what work was being done, but there was a statue standing by the workbench in the room.

The second wooden room is a dining room, a round table is placed in the middle, there are four chairs, but there are only two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, and the statue of a man sits at the table, with the chopsticks in one hand reaching out to the empty bowl next to it, and opening his head sideways, as if he is persuading those around him to "eat more" while serving food for the people around him.

The third room is a resting place, and when you enter the door, there is a small living room, and there is a square table against the wall in the innermost part of the living room, and two chairs are placed on either side of the square table, and a slightly emaciated statue sits on the chair on the right.

Tang Yi found that it was a statue of a woman, but it seemed that something in the shape of a cloth was covering her head, and this cloth seemed to be dyed red, but the red paint was somewhat faded and peeled off.

On the square table there are candles and wine glasses carved out of wood, all in pairs, and on the wall above the table, there is an equally faded '囍' character.

There is also a door on the east side of the living room, when Tang Yi stepped into this door, he grasped Elise's little hand tightly, there are two statues in this room, no, to be exact, it is still one, it is a man lying flat on the bed, and a woman is lying in his arms, the woman tilts her head slightly and purses her lips, and the man is about to bow her head and kiss.

Looking at the scene on the bed, Tang Yi felt that his throat was a little blocked, how much did one person miss another person to use so many statues to tell their past.

Out of this wooden house, Elise suddenly tugged Tang Yi's hand, and then pulled him to the back of the house.

In a square pit lay a wooden coffin, without a lid, in which lay a pair of statues hugging each other, the man and the emaciated woman.

The woman showed half of her side face, but Tang Yi couldn't stand it anymore, he suddenly understood that the woman didn't make these statues to remember anything, but just wanted to tell herself in this way that the man had always been there, always by her side, swinging with her, picking vegetables for her, marrying her, lingering with her, and never leaving.

This stupid woman doesn't want much, just the long-term coexistence of 'living and sleeping together, and dying together', however, for her who is abandoned here, it has become the greatest luxury of eternal life.

Tang Yi also understood that what made this woman depressed in the end was not hate, but love, the love that was engraved into the bone marrow and imprinted into the soul.

Tang Yi leaned over and grabbed a handful of dust, which was slowly sprinkled in the wooden coffin, and suddenly, a slightly cool little hand caressed Tang Yi's face, and Elise asked softly in a confused and melancholy voice.

"Tang Yi, why are you crying, don't cry, okay? I feel uncomfortable in my heart, don't worry, I will never leave you, I will not let you cry every day like a hostess. ”

Tang Yi smiled, this spider girl doesn't know how to love, and she and herself are the roles of the former male and female hosts, so she simply said these funny-sounding words, but I have to admit that it is very heartwarming.

Taking Elise's hand, Tang Yi walked towards the wooden ancient tower, which was pentagonal and did not look like the style of the Western Continent, but it seemed to be different from the oriental architecture painted in the book.

Elise whispered to Tang Yi about the days when she lived here with the snake girl and the male and female masters, although it sounded simple, it seemed to be very fulfilling and happy.

When she walked to the bottom of the steps of the ancient tower, Elise suddenly said, "Tang Yi, this is the place where the male and female masters work every day, and no one can enter except them." ”

Well? The ancient tower on the steps has only one doorway, and there is no tower door, although the doorway looks dark, but how can you not enter?

When I came to the doorway, I was surprised to find that I really couldn't get in, there was a layer of black in the doorway, this thing was very similar to the 'water glass' made by Tang Yi with the 'condensation' charm, but the black on the 'water glass' was very strange, it was not a paint dye, but the kind of complete black, even the moonlight on it all disappeared, and there was no reflection at all.

As if to prove that she had not deceived Tang Yi, Elise said as she tapped the 'black glass' in the doorway with her scythe-like spider claws.

"This thing is very hard, neither I nor Opea can break it, only the hostess can open and close, not the male host, including this ancient tower, once the 'caterpillar' and my 'big black' fought, and the two of them crashed into the tower together without collapsing."

Elise's 'claws' and 'black glass' made a crisp tapping sound, which sounded like a piece of glass, so Tang Yi also stretched out his hand and pressed it on the 'black glass'.

Suddenly, something happened that Tang Yi didn't expect anyway, the ancient book in his mind automatically opened, and a new rune appeared—the word 'dark'.

(Dark, elemental rune, a golden segment that produces a dark ball ten centimeters in diameter that lasts for an hour.) ）

Although Tang Yi didn't know what this 'dark' rune was, he guessed in an instant that this hostess was either a dragon or a human like himself who could also rune.

Then, a bolder and more surprising guess suddenly popped up in Tang Yi's heart, that the male protagonist was not a real human being, but a god clan who had replaced his soul.

In fact, when Tang Yi saw the snake girl for the first time, he knew that she was an orc, so later he also doubted whether the male and female hosts were gods, and they secretly hid on this island to conduct orc cultivation experiments.

Now it seems that there is another hidden reason, perhaps, it is not the Protoss who developed the method of cultivating orcs, and the hostess on this island is the original creator of orcs.

Maybe the protoss man inadvertently knew that this mistress was a genius and had the ability to create orcs, so he used tricks to make the mistress fall in love with him, and then came to this pre-prepared island to conduct secret research.

And the spider woman and the snake woman were the first orcs to be cultivated, and later, after the male master of the Protoss mastered the method of cultivating orcs, he immediately secretly left, so it can be explained why the male master of the Protoss finally left a sentence of "I can't help myself".

This island is an ancient ruin, and the timeline here is different from the outside world, otherwise even if the Spider Woman and the Snake Woman have a different physique than ordinary people, they should not have a lifespan of millions of years.

In addition, after the male master of the Protoss left, he should have used some means to destroy all the time field overlap points of this ancient ruin, making this island completely isolated from the world.

Now, everything makes sense.

Tut-tut! I really didn't expect the Protoss to be a 'beautiful man', good means, good intentions, it seems that after several ancient wars, the Protoss has become more and more insidious and cunning, and the penetration of the human world has reached the point of pervasiveness, and the human goodness and disgusting nature are clearly grasped.

Tang Yi felt a chill from the bottom of his heart, the Protoss had already used various conspiracies to make the human world full of holes, it went without saying that everything the Protoss did was to prepare for the invasion after the opening of this space-time tunnel, and he must rush to the East as soon as possible, the East is the only hope that mankind can defeat the Protoss.

"Tang Yi, Tang Yi, what's wrong with you? The face is so gloomy. ”

Elise's voice awakened Tang Yi's short contemplation, and she turned her head to look at Elise's worried face, which made people feel even more pitiful, so Tang Yi laughed softly.

"Hehe, Elise, do you believe I can go in?"

"Faith, I believe everything you say, I heard the hostess say that this is called a husband and a wife."

Belch! It is said by word and deed, now Tang Yi can roughly guess what the character of the hostess is, and fortunately, she is not a vicious, arrogant and unreasonable woman.

Subsequently, Tang Yi used his fingers to write a 'sealed' character text on this 'black glass', and sealed the two runes on it, 'dark' and 'condensation'.

"...... Uproar"

Suddenly, the 'black glass' turned into clear water and fell to the ground, causing Elise to exclaim.

"Yikes! It's really opened, Tang Yi, are you also my host? ”

"Don't call me a man, it sounds too awkward, as if I have a leg with your hostess, just call me Tang Yi, and you will have no master in the future, you are not a pet, let alone a slave, it is my Tang Yi's woman, remember?"

"Giggles, got it, huh? Why does it seem to be cold in this door, do you feel it? ”

"Well, it's a little cold, let's go, go in and have a look."

After speaking, Tang Yi stepped into the doorway of the ancient tower.
