Chapter 483: Like the End of Time
This is the second time.
She stared blankly at the endless darkness in the white robe, which seemed to hide a devil's face. Just one look at it made people feel that their soul was unstable and their life was coming to an end.
All kinds of cold and evil legends kept interweaving in her mind. The temperature around her was obviously much higher than before, but a chill surged behind her.
Endless despair and fear filled her heart. The girl could no longer hold the golden knife in her hand. She let it slip silently from her hands, making two dull sounds in the silent night.
This sent a message to her students: the teacher had given up. Everyone stood still, motionless and afraid to move. Wei also had many hearts beating violently, using their rhythm to tell the panic in their hearts.
"How are you going to repay me for saving your life?"
"I heard that there are two sources of paper dolls in this world. One type of people are timid and cowardly, and after death their souls come here and turn into paper dolls. The other type of people are the opposite, and they are carefree and do whatever they want in their daily lives, and they also come here after death."
'But I am neither the former nor the latter, and I am planning to leave. The paper people all say that in the ice and snow at the northernmost end of the world there is a palace as big as a mountain. That is the end of the world, and all those who have gone to the palace have never returned.'
'I think it's time for me to leave. If I stay here forever, enjoying the cycle of life and death in the paper world, I might end up like them one day, staying in the paper world forever and ever, in constant fear.'
Shen Huan set off.
Moving forward in the paper world, whether going east, west or south, the world is infinitely vast, except for a small terminal in the north.
After Shen Huan officially set off on his journey, he realized that the paper man's body did have many benefits.
The concept of "eating" does not exist in the paper man's consciousness.
Humans eat food to take in energy and matter, but paper people do not need to maintain physiological functions. Their weight remains constant, and as they age, their volume increases and their density decreases.
There is food in the paper world. The soft and delicious paper tastes like bread, but it has no taste and is not much different from chewing wax.
In addition, paper figures have no sense of hunger, so Shen Huan has not eaten for quite a long time.
In this world, not eating is not a strange thing.
It is said that some paper figures spread the word that food is harmful a few years ago.
Shen Huan guessed that these people might have died of food poisoning, or were victims of some bad food, so they were extremely afraid of food.
Shen Huan followed the local customs and accepted the theories of those people. Because of this, he did not need to stop to eat all the way north, and with the special physique of the paper man, he did not need to stop to rest.
In the past six months, Shen Huan has passed through Jinghua City, Muye City, Linchuan City, Tianchi City, Bairi City... The temperature in the city was getting lower and lower. When he walked through the city, a thick layer of frost would form on his body, which greatly reduced his speed of advancement.
Later, he moved forward along the mountain road, over the mountains and bypassed the city. In his understanding, the further north he went, the lower the temperature, but as he bypassed the city, the frost on his body slowly melted.
Obviously, this is a buggy world.
Perhaps there is a very big person who created the paper world. In places where few people go, this big person appropriately cut corners and made the environment a little rough.
This roughness is not only reflected in the temperature differences, but also in everything that can be seen.
The further north you go, the more abstract the scenery becomes. The paper flowers and paper grass that were everywhere are gone, and large tracts of white space often appear in the sky, as if covered by extremely thick mist.
Shen Huan thought inappropriately, is this white void the aurora?
There were many times when Shen Huan was shocked by what he saw. It was broad daylight, but he could see many black squares. It was like sticking many black sticky notes on a beautiful painting. This feeling was too incongruous.
At first, Shen Huan thought there was something wrong with his eyes, but theoretically, the paper man was healthy.
Even if it is cut in half, the lower part will grow out immediately, but the density of the body will decrease again, but this does not affect the daily life of the paper man.
Whenever Shen Huan thought about this, he was horrified. The rules of this world were different from any other world. Maybe someone could imagine such rules, but who could make the world run according to the rules?
Difficult to understand, difficult to comprehend, difficult to agree with, and difficult to accept, these are Shen Huan’s four major feelings about the rules of the world.
The place in his memory was getting closer and closer. Many blurry images appeared in his mind one after another.
Sometimes, Shen Huan felt like he was hallucinating.
Sometimes, he thought for no reason that perhaps the City of Promise was not at the northernmost part of the world, but in the heart of every paper man. The further north they went, the clearer the city in their hearts became.
Until one day, he discovered that the scenery around him was left with only two colors, black and white.
Countless black and white squares form strange "QR codes", occupying the sky and land without any scruples.
As far as the eye can see, it is neither the dark night nor the bright day, nor a delicate gray, but a white paper splashed with ink, which makes people dumbfounded and terrified.
Shen Huan thought of two words: nothingness and chaos.
Everything in the world has become a plane, and in the plane, the two colors are distributed disorderly.
If there is nothingness, this is probably it.
If there is chaos, this is probably it.
Even the scene inside a black hole would not necessarily be so fantastic. Even if you were poisoned by eating mushrooms, you would not necessarily see such a strange scene.
The mountains had not yet appeared and the City of Promise had not yet been reached, so Shen Huan could only keep moving forward.
At this time, he could no longer tell the directions; he only knew that something seemed to be attracting him in a certain direction.
This is a great intuition: the location of the Promise City is written in the heart of each paper man, guiding everyone who is willing to go to the city to find the direction. Just like the genes of the human body, many survival instincts are planned for people.
But this road is really difficult to walk on. The ground is flat, but the further you go, the more you feel that you are at a certain "height".
In order not to be bothered by this height, Shen Huan closed his eyes.
This went on for about ten days.
Shen Huan was awakened by a gust of cold air. He opened his eyes and saw a snowy mountain. The snowy mountain was pure white, standing in the black night. On the mountain was a big city, reaching the sky.
There is no doubt that this is the end of the journey, the highest city in the world, the City of Promise.
The higher he went, the more ice debris accumulated on Shen Huan's body. The cold burden not only pressed on his shoulders, but also on his arms and legs. This thick layer of ice crystals was like the armor of a depressed person.
Shen Huan, hiding in the armor, felt inexplicably lonely.
His starting point was Canglan City, next to which was the endless blue sea.
Although it seemed a bit counterintuitive for the ocean to appear in the paper world, and water was deadly to paper people, Shen Huan still missed the boundless blue ocean very much at this time.
There may be a huge blue whale hidden in the ocean. After its death, it will turn into countless pieces of paper to feed the tiny paper creatures on the seabed.
Shen Huan's final destination is Promise City.
He climbed to the top of the mountain amidst overwhelming loneliness and saw a snowy gate more than a hundred meters high.
