Zhang Yunyan looked at the falling stone bead and felt puzzled. It had stayed in her hand and allowed her to observe earlier, so why did it suddenly "escape"?
The reason it broke out was that it disliked its attacking object. This demon-like thing had a strong sense of perception and unfathomable demon methods, so how could it be willing to be held in a disgusting soul"s hand?
The stone bead was a spiritual demon thing so it did not sleep. Instead, it watched the only soul present. It was waiting to swallow its prey and thus would not allow the object to control it.
Yunyan was both surprised and shocked. She was about to lean over to pick it up, but the stone bead did not stop. It just rolled on the ground.
She was even more shocked as she stared at the movement of the stone bead. She did not know what the monster was going to do. Would it exert demon methods? What kind of horrible dangers would it bring?
Yunyan patrolled the cave. It was quiet, but it remained the same. She stared at the stone bead to see what would happen.
In the cave, only this monster was "performing". It was the root of the crisis, so she had to beware of it.
How could she guard against these two terrible monsters?
Zhang Yunyan did not know and was unable to resist the demon monster"s attack. This was her psychological instinct.
The colorful stone bead, which was rolling, reached the "stone table" soon. It rolled up along the uneven side and moved onto the table. Then, it rolled over to the strokes.
During the observation, Zhang Yunyan"s expression was full of suspicion as she looked at the colorful stone bead in a daze. She did not know why it had come back to the stone table after "escaping" from her hand and why it would come back to the flashing handwriting.
She was nervously observing in confusion. How could the colorful stone bead roll onto the "stone table" from the ground on its own? How could it know that the handwriting was on the table?
What was even weirder was that the stone bead was rolling on the uneven side from bottom to top as it reached the table from the ground. It did not fall down. The power of adhesion was incredible.
What kind of power was supporting it? Was it the affinity between mother and child? Was it the magical power between mother and child?
No matter what kind of strength it was, it was horrible. It seemed that a horrible disaster was coming...
Zhang Yunyan looked at the stone bead, feeling really nervous. She stared at it to prevent any change.
Its powerful demon methods aside, this colorful bead was really strange. The process of returning to the "stone table" from the ground was surprising and fearful.
The stone bead had no vision, but it possessed a strong sense of perception. It could roll up and not fall down. This had to be the power of magic.
Yunyan remembered the millennium covenant and frowned. If people had really existed in ancient times, the "stone table" and the colorful bead must have been made by an expert. Having such strong senses of perception and adhesion would not be strange in that case.
There was still one thing Zhang Yunyan did not understand and felt suspicious of. When the stone bead was in her hand, it remained still and allowed her to observe it, so why should it "escape" at once? What had irritated it? In addition to her observation, there was no other movement, so how could this monster suddenly change?
This thing was weird, unbelievable, and somewhat incredible.
The colorful stone bead had originally been a weird thing. Its preferences and connotations might have some kind of relationship with the expert who used to live here.
The man might have set up a mechanism and the demon thing had taken action on a pre-determined procedure until the soul and the entire cave had been destroyed.
No one knew whether the stone bead could survive or take a step further.
The cave was mysterious, and the demon thing was horrible. The colorful bead was extraordinary and unpredictable, so she had to prevent any changes.
However, how could she prevent this horrible demon thing? The moment of the devastating disaster was coming. She had nowhere to hide. Yunyan could only face the cruel reality and wait for her soul to be destroyed.
Zhang Yunyan looked at the slowly rolling colorful stone bead. There was another puzzling thing about it.
Just now, while the colorful stone bead had been rolling toward the "stone table", the rolling sound it had made had been ordinary. It had not been a strange, beautiful melody. It had not "sung" a part of a pa.s.sionate "song".
Why? Was it still spiritual? Why had it lost its "pa.s.sion"?
Since the birth of the stone bead, a few puzzles had come out one after another, which was really a misunderstanding.
The colorful stone bead slowly rolled on the table and soon fell onto the first word of the first sentence— "water". It moved from the first stroke. Meanwhile, that strange, wonderful sound rang again.
It was too strange. Why had this colorful stone bead tried to get into the first word? Why should it "read" the sentences from the beginning?
What was more strange was that the moment the stone bead fell into the word "water", that strange beautiful melody was performed again. It was amazing.
Why? Was there really magic between the stone bead and the handwriting? Did they feel some kind of affection when they contacted each other intimately like mother and child? Did they use this beautiful melody to express their feelings? Was this the specific combination of the two demon things? Would they join hands and release some powerful demon methods to destroy everything in an instant?
Zhang Yunyan could not know the reasons, so all of her suspicions were possible. She hoped that they were just expressing their emotions, and not destructive demon methods.
However, this idea was just wishful thinking. It was a beautiful prayer. This impending fact would not reverse Yunyan"s will. Given the situation, destruction was the inevitable outcome of this cave. No one would stop or change it.
In this horrible cave, everything was an enigmatic mystery. No one could explain it. It was also terrifying.
Zhang Yunyan was puzzled and unable to detect the hidden secrets of the demon things. She could only have suspicions.
The stone bead reached the table from the ground without a beautiful rhythm. When it rolled down from the table, its sound was monotonous and common.
However, when it fell on the handwriting, the beautiful melody was heard immediately. It was magical and really strange.
Based on this, this strange rhythm had to be the product of the colorful bead and the four sentences. Everything was indispensable. As for why he performed this wonderful piece of music and what would happen next, she did not know and could not suspect.
Zhang Yunyan widened her eyes with a suspicious expression on her face. She stared at the colorful stone bead that was rolling over the first sentence before it fell on the first word of the second sentence— "three".
She was very curious and puzzled. She could not help stretching her hand out to pick up the colorful stone bead in hopes of checking it thoroughly.
As soon as the colorful bead left the table, it immediately broke free from her hand and fell onto the table again.
Yunyan was shocked and nervous. No matter how tightly she held it, the stone bead was much more powerful and could easily get out of her hand.
Zhang Yunyan looked at the slowly rolling colorful bead in astonishment. Why did the colorful stone bead try to break free? If it disliked her, why did it not activate any demon methods to attack her? Was it not coming to destroy her?
Mystery... This was another mystery.
Ever since it had come for the invading soul, it had not taken any action. She did not know what it was thinking or what it was waiting for.
Zhang Yunyan was still observing the stone bead and thinking, hoping to solve these mysteries.
The demon thing was colorful and beautiful, but hid some horrible demon methods and vicious tricks. She did not know what kind of dangers and disasters would occur.
Once again, the colorful stone bead entered the first word of the first sentence and moved from the first stroke. The wonderful melody sounded exhilarating and intoxicating.
It seemed that there was nothing it needed to do from the beginning. It only had to finish its work.
When the colorful bead had been born, it had rolled into four sentences. Why? Was it just performing a wonderful piece of music? Was it trying to vent the "pa.s.sion" of birth?
She was afraid that it would not be that simple. Perhaps, this was an amazing secret. As for why it insisted to do this, it was also puzzling. There had to be some hidden secrets.
These mysteries came one after another. If she did not figure it out, it would be hard to find the answer later.
When the colorful stone bead fell into the last word of the four sentences, "fate", Zhang Yunyan could not help stretching her hand to pick it up and see what its response was.
The colorful bead, which was not willing to accept this, jumped onto the table again. Then, it moved to the first word of the first sentence.
Zhang Yunyan frowned, still feeling puzzled. The colorful bead was so stubborn that it insisted on going back to the "handwriting" of the four sentences. Her nerves were tense and she sensed that the demon thing was even more terrible. It was mysterious.
At the moment, the "stone table" did not change and there was no small bulge. The colorful stone bead did not change. In the mysterious cave, except for the beautiful melody, everything was calm. Everything was the same.
The colorful bead was slowly rolling, "reading" the four sentences word by word. The strange melody was accompanied by it. It echoed in the cave faintly but clearly.
The music was as wonderful as the sound of heaven. It was both melodious and pa.s.sionate, as if it came from the deep sky. She felt magnificent and limitless.
It was like the sound coming from the underground. In the long history of the river, it had always come from the mysterious ancient times, venting its illusions...
Zhang Yunyan thought for a while and understood something. The reason the colorful stone bead would "escape" might be that it wanted to express its pa.s.sion on the four sentences. It would enjoy the beautiful melody but was not willing to be disturbed.
Perhaps, the affection between "mother and child" was hard to break up. It needed this kind of intimate contact.
This combination was extraordinary. It was likely hiding amazing secrets. It was reminiscent and suspicious, which made people feel fearful.
Of course, these "possibilities" were all mere suspicions. No one knew or could know why it still rolled in the handwriting, including herself.
In the closed cave, it was dark and dim. The secret of the "stone table", the weird colorful stone bead, and the strange melody... added endless mystery to the horrible "h.e.l.l".
Zhang Yunyan remembered the experience of encountering the sika deer and the demon monkey. She still shivered at the memory. She hated those two monsters. They had killed her and crushed all of her unfinished missions like bubbles.
Yunyan, who had originally set her hopes on her remaining soul, hoped to return to the human world one day. She would go to take revenge and look for her relatives. However, it had disappeared like a puff of smoke.
The stone bead was so weird and horrible. Would it hurt Zhang Yunyan"s soul?
It was very likely. The cave was really mysterious. What had happened just now was also extremely weird. These weird things were caused by Zhang Yunyan"s appearance. It would do anything to hurt her horribly.
In this regard, Yunyan felt deeply anxious and frightened. It was inevitable.
