Alice was in a coma and had no idea what was happening in the outside world. She only felt that every blood vessel and every inch of her skin was burning violently, as if her whole body was wrapped in red ultra-high temperature flames.

She opened her eyes in the darkness and found that she was lying in an endless darkness, with no light around her and a dead silence.

She was so uncomfortable that her body seemed to be reduced to ashes under the burning heat. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to sit up. She lowered her head and saw that her arms, legs and feet all seemed unscathed.

Nothing unusual.

However, she was suffering from great pain, which caused Alice's body to convulse slightly uncontrollably.

"It's so hot...so hot!!"

The little blond witch was sitting alone in the darkness. Suddenly she stood up abruptly, her eye circles slightly red from the severe pain, and the remaining sanity in her heart was shattered by the pain as her body seemed to be burned by flames.

"Where is the water here? I'm so hot!!"

Alice didn't want to stay in this endless darkness for a moment. She was like a lost child, running desperately in the dark void, trying to find the direction home.

Her golden hair was flying in the darkness. Alice ran very fast, and she could hear the wind whistling in her ears. However, the sound of the wind still did not make her body feel like it was burning in flames.

Alice's legs and feet twitched violently as they burned, and she suddenly lost strength and stumbled heavily, falling heavily into the darkness. Her head seemed to have hit something hard, making a "bang" sound.

A strong feeling of dizziness invaded the brain like a tide.

Alice touched her head with her left hand and found it was wet.

She looked down

On the white fingers wearing black open-toed gloves, red moist hot liquid sticks to them, which is particularly eye-catching against the white fingers and black gloves.

Alice's chaotic brain sobered up for a moment, and she vaguely thought that the red liquid was the blood on her forehead...

But I couldn't feel any pain, not even a trace of pain. Because the pain of burning your body was ten times and a hundred times more painful than knocking your head!

Alice got up again, and the pain in her body made her breathing very difficult. The sound of her heartbeat continued to amplify in her ears, as deafening as thunder. Her eardrums trembled and vibrated with each heavy and rapid heartbeat.

She felt like she was going to be drowned by this huge sound, wrapped in the deep, lightless darkness, and died alone in silence.

When Alice took the first step forward, the void beneath her feet suddenly felt light.

Because the thing happened so suddenly, Alice heard herself let out a weak exclamation, and then she fell involuntarily from the high void.

The wind screamed in her ears, and Alice closed her slightly red eyes in the strong sense of weightlessness. Her throat had been burned dry by the scorching heat in her body, and even if she made a sound, it would soon be boundless.

swallowed by darkness.

Alice simply closed her mouth. Her head had been burned by the high temperature and had lost the ability to think. Now it was as empty as a piece of white paper with no words written on it.

I can't remember anything.

It's not bad to just sleep like this.

No need to endure such great pain, no need to be alone in the dark.

Alice heard a voice ringing in her mind. The voice sounded like her own, but the voice contained fatigue and helplessness that were unfamiliar to her...

Who is talking to her?

Was it herself? Alice didn't know.

Alice only knew that she had been falling in the darkness for a long time, and she had lost the power to fly. She just wanted to end this painful and real nightmare.

End it all.

At this moment, Alice fell into a piece of icy water. After she sank into the water, tiny bubbles emerged from her mouth and nose. The bubbles rose rapidly, floated to the surface of the water, and then burst gently with a "pop" sound.

The burning pain in her body instantly eased a lot. Alice breathed in the dark water, her closed eyes opened, and her consciousness suddenly woke up in the cold water.

It's like suddenly going from the scorching sun of summer to the ice and snow of winter, every nerve is stimulated.

Although there was still a fire burning in his body, the high temperature was relieved by falling into the dark ice water.

Because she could still breathe in the water, Alice did not rush to the surface. Instead, she soaked in the dark water and looked toward the mysterious darkness underwater.

It was still pitch black and she couldn't see anything. Alice was not depressed. She wanted to rely on her own ability to release a bunch of flames in her hands to illuminate.

Since you can breathe in water, you should be able to light a fire, right?

Although she didn't know where this place was, Alice guessed that she should be existing in a spiritual state now.

The surrounding darkness should be a reflection of the dream. The pain of the burning body may be an illusion in the dream, but this dream was too real, and Alice's consciousness became trance-like for a time.

When Alice lit a dark golden flame in the black water, the dark water suddenly became brighter. Under the blooming of light, the black surrounding Alice also receded back.

It seemed that he didn't want to get close to the golden light emitting from the flame in Alice's hand.

Even in dreams, shadows are afraid of light.

How to break out of the dream? Alice gradually recalled what happened before she was engulfed in a wave of fire and lost consciousness.

But before she had time to think about this problem carefully, the darkness forced back by the golden light suddenly surged, like the bubbles boiling and rolling on the water when a kettle is boiling, making a "gurgling" sound.

Alice's beautiful amber eyes, reflected by the golden flames, reflected tiny bright lights. She stared closely at the strange and surging darkness, and a figure floated out of the black, as quietly as a ghost.

Silent.

Alice could see clearly, but her bright eyes couldn't help but widen. She knew this guy floating out of the darkness.

The man who was as silent as a ghost was tall and tall, and the skin on his face looked as stiff and strong as rock. The color of his skin was not a vivid flesh color, but a dark and cold dead gray.

His eyes were open, but they looked lifeless and lifeless like dead fish eyes. Now, these emotionless eyes were staring directly at Alice who was looking at him from the light source.

To be precise, the person in front of her can no longer be called a human, because Alice has seen him explode with her own eyes, there is no doubt that.

It's already dead.

This person is the magic stone professor who tried to seize the magic door in the Kaker Cage.

But why would an evil wizard who had been dead for a long time appear in front of Alice in this image? This is so strange!

When Alice was troubled and confused by this, there was a sudden pain in the palm of her left hand, and she couldn't help but frowned.

The wound on the black mark on the palm seemed to have been electrocuted by an electric current. This electric current followed the palm of the hand and penetrated into the arm, passed through the shoulder, and finally reached the heart.

The heartbeat suddenly became very loud, like thunder!

For a moment, Alice felt that she was in so much pain that it was hard to breathe. She held her heart, and big beads of sweat dripped from her forehead. The strong sense of collapse made it difficult to even stand in the water.

This feeling was all too familiar to Alice.

In the first semester of the first grade, the black marks on her palms occurred several times. Later, a mysterious friend gave her a pair of black and white gloves.

After putting on the gloves, the black mark never happened again.

Alice almost forgot about the black mark on her palm.

But now, that painful and uncomfortable feeling has returned again. Although Alice can endure such torture, she has also lost her agility and reflexes. She cannot continue to fight in this situation.

This is undoubtedly very dangerous.

Professor Magic Stone, who was floating gently like seaweed in the water, stared straight at the little blond witch with a black mark and a look of pain on her face.

The stiff gray lips raised slightly, revealing a scary and crazy smile, and the cold and cruel voice echoed in the dark water:

"Don't try to get rid of me. You will never get rid of me."

"I will make you pay the price. I will keep pestering you. You will eventually fall into the dark hell with me. You can't escape...Absolutely haha...hahahaha!!"

Alice tried hard to calm down her violently beating heart, but she couldn't. Professor Magic Stone seemed to be talking in her head.

The professor's arrogant and cruel laughter echoed repeatedly in Alice's mind, intertwined with the beating of her heart, as if it was about to burst her head.

Alice gritted her teeth and frowned. The flame released in her hand fluctuated unsteadily, growing and shrinking like a candle blown by the strong wind, which might be extinguished at any time.

But she still tried to straighten her body. Although her body was shaking uncontrollably, she still raised her head, her back as strong and straight as a sword:

"Evil prevails over good...Don't be arrogant. Even if you die...I will not give in to you. You want me to be your kind and live in your daydreams!"

After Alice said this, she tried her best to throw out the golden flame in her left hand.

The dark golden flame shot through the air and was thrown into Professor Magic Stone's open mouth due to laughter. Then Professor Magic Stone's expression froze, and he yelled at the top of his voice crazily and unwillingly:

"Don't even think about escaping. You can't escape!"

"boom!"

Before he finished speaking, the ferocious and twisted face of Professor Magic Stone was blown to pieces by the golden flames thrown by Alice, and his body fell into the water like a broken stone. He was swallowed by the thick darkness...

.

The violent heartbeat and arrogant and crazy laughter in my mind stopped suddenly, as if the pause button had been pressed.

Alice finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She no longer wanted to stay in the water. Even if she needed to think about how to break the dream, she had to get out of the water first.

When Alice regained some strength, she looked up at the darkness above the water, and she found light.

What looked like a very faint milky white light point moved slowly not far above the water surface.

Because she was in water, and the water's transmittance was very low, Alice couldn't see clearly what the glowing thing was.

Alice quickly swam upward, observing the trajectory of the light spot as she swam. When she surfaced her head first, the light spot was less than ten centimeters in front of her eyes.

It was a very small butterfly. It was the first life that appeared in the darkness except for Alice herself since arriving here.
