Chapter 599 Reflection Outside the Barrier

Esther walked forward in the depths of the fog. Even though she was enveloped by the light, the chill on her shoulders became stronger and stronger, like a pine branch piled with snowflakes. First, her body became heavy, and then her spirit was closed.

Her steps did not change much, but the light on her body would sometimes dim and turn gray, becoming a speck of dust attached to her body. The sense of rejection oppressed her perception from the outside to the inside, bringing a vague pain.

The power of the defensive gray fog wanted to tear her apart and swallow her up, and Esther would certainly feel uncomfortable. Every time she took a light breath to relieve the chest pain, silver-white frost would rise from her mouth and nose.

They turned gray in the air, rolled up a few particles that had lost their glimmer, and merged into the nearby grayness.

These mists themselves did not have any consciousness, but the authority to directly exclude them was far beyond the range that Esther could change - she could only try to move forward, following the increasingly clear intuition, and pass through the sealed area that was not suitable for any living creature to pass through.

Even if Esther could go deep into the gray fog, she couldn't penetrate it directly. Her breathing became sluggish, not because she needed much oxygen, but because the gray fog nearby was getting thicker and thicker, almost having a hard entity.

The light on her body alternated between light and dark, which was very strange in the dull gray.

During the long journey, many phantom-like images emerged from the fog. They didn't look like humans, but more like vague paper figures, and none of them had specific faces.

These figures were whispering something vaguely, but Esther couldn't hear it clearly - their words only brushed past her ears, and then melted in the buzzing of the flashing light, and were dissipated by the vibration of the light spots.

This journey was longer than expected. Esther gradually lost her perception of the passage of time in the whispers of those phantoms. She simply closed her eyes and didn't look at them, focusing on the direction of spiritual guidance, and grasping her only guidance in the fog.

Esther was not afraid of this. When she subconsciously opened her eyes, she saw another flowing halo in the gray.

The silver mist gently swam between the grays, easily passing through the obstructive fog between gathering and dispersing, dispelling the whispering phantoms, until it gently floated over, wrapped around Esther's fingers, climbed to her wrist, and slowly tightened.

Her stiff body became flexible, and Esther took a step, following the traction of the silver mist. She almost saw the silver line hooked on her wrist, and a road clearly emerged in the gray mist.

With such clear instructions, Esther only walked forward for dozens of steps and almost bumped into the completely solid gray barrier, but the silver mist passed through it without any hindrance and left her wrist.

This made Esther feel inexplicably lost, but not long after, she saw the opposite side of the gray translucent barrier, shining with increasingly dazzling silver light.

The figures mumbling in the gray fog all dispersed, but from the silver light in front of Esther, a human figure re-condensed on the other side of the barrier. When she saw the other person's appearance clearly, Esther took a half step back in confusion.

At first glance, she thought that the opposite side was a mirror, but when the clothes of the figure gradually condensed, Esther felt a strong sense of disobedience again.

You know, even in Li Xing's clear memory of more than 20 years, the cognition of ancient Chinese costumes mostly stayed in the range of "good-looking" and "very good-looking", at least she had never had such a delicate and complicated wide-sleeved skirt with ribbons.

Esther looked down at the ancient short sword in her hand in confusion, and then looked at the lady whose clothes were so luxurious that they were amazing even if she only applied a little rouge and lipstick.

What made Esther feel most uncomfortable was that the opposite side was using Li Xing's face to restore every detail that would be reflected in the mirror-no one would like to see another self so high-profile, except for those who are narcissistic enough.

As soon as this thought came up, Li Xing on the opposite side smiled, as if he could hear Esther's muttering in his heart.

Her voice was different from Li Xing's, as gentle as the hazy silver mist before: "Don't be surprised, I just show the image closest to your heart, which is not determined by me. Destiny always appears in the most unexpected way, isn't it?"

"Who are you?"

"You know who I am, we can't tell it, because it will break the established rules of this world." "Li Xing" raised her sleeves, and her white arms revealed silver scales, and then quickly retracted them into her body, and the circular wheels that kept rotating and fitting each other were also hidden.

Unlike the scattered patterns that Esther had seen before, at least this symbol represents the complete incarnation of destiny.

The answer to the question was about to come out, but Esther also dared not assert it. If it weren't for the clear feedback from the spirit telling her that this was true, Esther would even think that this was another scam, or even a prank.

"I thought..."

"Of course you are not. If you were, I would have opened the fog barrier according to the agreement with them."

At this moment, Esther's mind was spinning fast, and she connected it with the voice she heard earlier: "Is it the agreement between the source?"

"There was a small accident, and the world was destroyed." After a two-second pause, "Li Xing" on the opposite side pointed at himself, "Only we can still remember this incident."

Esther's hand fell on her right eyebrow: "But I don't remember."

"Doomsday, the half of fate, the disappearance of the barrier is doomsday. And the previous 'Lord of Mysteries', with an impulse that none of us can understand, gathered all the forces pointing to 'fate' before the destruction of this small planet."

Esther's eyes gradually widened: "Wait, the 'Lord of Mysteries' you mentioned, isn't it the one in my memory..."

"No, that's the end of a period of history."

"What happened at that end? Why did I become like this! I don't know how long I have been trapped in His Kingdom of God. You tell me this now, but you don't want to explain it clearly? Then why do you let me know?" Esther asked questions like a machine gun, spitting out all the doubts in her heart from her mouth, as if they would no longer bother her.

"Li Xing"'s eyes seemed to be full of compassion, but in fact, they revealed a hint of alienation, just like an elder who was tired of the childish questions asked by children: "The long river of fate is connected from beginning to end. If it goes on like this, there will be no place to go."

Esther realized that this was the point of the other party: "What exactly do you need me to do?"

"Protect the past of the birth of the 'Lord of Mysteries' and destroy the future of the birth of the 'Fourth Pillar'."

It's too much of a riddle. I seem to understand why some people don't like the "fate" path, Esther muttered in her heart.

Silence condensed in the stalemate until "Li Xing" sighed and broke it: "Also, in addition to yourself, you have another enemy, the other half of fate."

When Esther spoke again, her tone had calmed down a lot: "Who?"

"The destined fate."

Recently, I have been beaten by my body and various trivial matters.

Finally, Shui (crossed out) wrote this setting...
