Nelly's eyelids seemed to have been sewn shut.

Completely unable to open.

She stretched out her hands, wanting to touch her face.

But it came to nothing.

Nothing was found.

She tried hard to push her eyelids outward, but it was of no avail. No matter how much effort she expended, she could not open her eyes.

She could vaguely realize that she was sinking,

She stretched out her hands in a vain attempt to grab something.

But she did catch something.

Short and thick wooden handle.

Mortavi's Ax.

The word emerged.

Although she couldn't remember the meaning of the word, she knew what she wanted to do.

She used the blade of the ax to scratch where her eyes should have been.

The line was cut.

Nelly opened her eyes.

It was still pitch black.

But it was different now. She could feel the presence of her body, and her consciousness was much clearer than before.

‘But where is this place? I remember just now that I seemed to be...

'By the way, we were attacked and a green dragon appeared. I rushed forward to protect...

'I failed, am I dead?'

She stretched out her hand.

There are no obstacles.

Then she took a tentative step forward.

Land smoothly.

She continued to grope forward, but no matter what, the most important thing was to figure out where she was now, and other things could be put aside later.

If she guessed correctly, she should have survived;.

But a chilling feeling crawled up her back.

This feeling does not come from something appearing, but precisely because there is nothing.

The absolute silence made her hair stand on end.

There is no sound, no light, no smell.

There was no feeling even under my feet.

Even if humans don't pay attention to it, there are actually subtle sensory feedbacks in the space they usually live in.

Quiet places have subtle sounds that humans don't pay attention to, dark places have faint lights that humans can't use, and clean places also have smells that are ignored.

Even if people don't pay attention to it deliberately, the sound of insects, the sound of turning books, the smell of soil and leaves filtered through layers, and the contact of feet and shoe soles are all there.

Even if you don't care about them, they are always there, and when they exist, they won't cause you any problems.

But on the contrary, it would be different if they disappeared, even if they were so insignificant when they existed, when they leave your world.

They took away almost everything.

The irrational dizziness almost destroyed Nelly's head.

But she stood firm.

Nelly adapted to this state, and even though this was a world without touch and balance poles, she was still able to stand upright.

Yes, she couldn't even feel her balance, nor could she feel or see anything, but she was still able to recognize the existence of the ground in a super-intuitive way and try to stand firm on it.

and move forward.

Nelly was like a roly-poly. Although she was crooked and almost fell down several times, she still maintained a non-standard standing position and walked forward with difficulty.

This place is obviously not a normal real world. It may be a special dimension that she doesn't know about, or it may just be in her own mind, but no matter what, it is very weird here.

It was so strange that she instinctively felt disgusted.

But she could only keep moving forward in the same weird posture as this world, waiting for a ray of light to appear.

She hit a wall.

Before she even had time to think, her hand raised the ax that didn't exist just now, and then split the wall in front of her.

She fell in.

Although she reacted quickly and relied on her sense of balance to support the ground with her hands, the tip of her nose almost hit the soil.

The fragrance of the earth is close at hand.

She exerted a little force and stood up straight again.

In front of you is a forest path with green leaves.

This is Chenxi Town.

where she grew up.

The ax quietly disappeared.

She started walking along the path.

The scenes on both sides of the road felt strange to her, but also familiar.

She could vaguely remember that this was the path she took in her childhood, but...

But after everything I went through, leaving town to attend high school and college, coming to Wharton, I saw and heard everything on campus.

They gradually erased the old things Nelly remembered.

Even though it's all very important to her.

But time is still ruthless to everything.

wrong.

Time never takes away anything.

It was she who left them behind.

The reason her memory of the past is so unclear is because she didn't come back here to see it, right? If she came back, how could this all look so like a dream?

But it's not that she doesn't cherish her childhood.

She is escaping.

Since then, she has deliberately avoided the place where she grew up.

She didn't want to recall anything related to him.

Nelly lowered her body and touched the yellow shoe prints.

It's so familiar.

These are father's boots.

He would wear it when hunting. When he was young, his father often took the family to hunt nearby. Although it was hunting, his target was never a wild beast, but an animal such as a small deer.

When she went to high school in the city, her father would often ask her to go home and go hunting with her family. But at that time, she always wanted to study hard and often have fun with her classmates, and gradually she felt that going hunting was boring.

.

So she will find many excuses to reject her father.

Her father believed her every time and would ask her next time if she wanted to go hunting with her.

She was really naive at that time and always felt that she had a lot of time...

But even if this thing doesn't happen, I may still have a lot of time, but my father never has much time.

Suddenly, a shallower footprint broke into Nelly's sight.

The father is tracking his prey.

She had seen this type of sole before.
