Kapitel 47: chased by the golden gate

'step'

step after step, Li gets closer and closer to the gate, his back was covered in sweat his instinct was warning him as his soul was shaking, he never thought that in his life he would walk to his own doom.

he arrived at the stairs platform, the golden surface zooms after every walk

'stop!! no!!!', the corner of his eyes turned red, blue veins slightly appeared on his head

he used all of his will force to regain control over his body, unfortunately, his willpower can only let him circulate his blood.

he is now two steps away from the gate he can only choose to donate his blood, self-destructing

'step'

he hesitated, he was not reconciled after all this time is different, I finally got to meet my lucky star, I finally got to be really alive !!!

the left foot lift up when he heard a loud scream

"Li Ge!!"

his vision turns black, his cheek feels itchy and inflated, he can now feel his body but still didn't dare to open his eyes, the reality hit him, he was scared, that experience would probably engrave itself on my soul

"Li Xiang!!", another scream but this time it was clearer, and he knew it belonged to Erha

his hand start shaking and for the first time in two long lifetimes he cried, the feeling of hopelessness, the feeling of losing everything, the feeling of disappointing your person

he doe not want to feel that again

Erha who was looking at such fragile Li Ge was heartbroken, the only thing I can do is to hug him and cry with him.

I pat his back as I sing a lullaby that I sang when I was sad

"The waves drowned the night in silence

Cross over the sky, cross over the corner of the head

Big fish swim through the cracks of dreams

Look at the outline of your deep sleep

Look at the sea and the sky, and listen to the wind and the rain

Blowing away the vast smoke with your hand in hand....."

(author: this song is called 'da yu big fish' so good!!)

Li Ge finally opened his eyes, they looked sad and scared, which makes me wonder what happened to him, I don't think it was a nightmare because when I found him, I didn't what it is but I caught something bulging and stirring inside his throat.

"Li Ge", I hoarse left my mouth

"...."

"Li Ge!!", I say louder, tears burst out turning into pearls falling on top of Li's head, something is wrong with Li Ge, why is scaring me, not answering me

a hand stretch to Erha's cheek sweeping with its thumb the formed tears on the corner of his eye

"I'm ok now, don't cry", Li Ge says with a slightly trembling voice

'hiccup'

'....'

'hiccup', my face instantly turns red

"haha", I look at Li Ge who is laughing at me but I didn't feel annoyed, laughing is good, as long as keep being smiling I'm relieved

Li Ge sits down to ruffle my hair before standing up, 'ok, after everyone wakes up, we leave "

"where?"

"ask for answers"

Li Ge look at my puzzled face gives a chuckle, ruffles my hair again, now I'm perplexed, did he lose his mind?

In the morning, we pack our baggage and head back to the village, according to Li Ge he had a hunch that he should not leave this place unclear.

everyone retracted their energy, I distribute spirit replenishment pills to everyone, I also assured them that with my new weapon I can shield them from mental and spiritual attacks.

my new is good looking, I had to show up in front of everyone, the harp can shrink into a crescent looking harp, it gives a graceful feeling with white simple shell engraved with thin beautiful cyan strips, the strings look like they were made from diamonds, sparkling with each pull.

after everyone spread on group checking house by house we regroup, no one found anyone or anything else suspicious.

"I'll ask my flying partners to go check up the area from up", I suggest to Li Ge

Li Ge nods, actually, he thinks it's dangerous for them to reveal themselves in the air, but after he thought about it, he really doesn't care about these beasts furthermore he does not mind if their number gets reduced, they had always disturbed his sight, always sticking to Erha like a bunch of dogs.

three went up flying, each choosing a direction to explore, we had to wait for a few minutes before they came back

"did you find anything ?"

the blue butterfly elemental spun around pointing out that she found something, she goes ahead while we followed her from behind.

looking at the direction we are heading to, I exclaim," the mountain?!"

after we got closer to a manor with 3 ancient Chinese buildings connecting wings, three sides of a window frame arranged around a rectangular courtyard, the roofs had a sweeping curvature that rises at the corners of the roof and on the curved part ahead was hanged swinging back and forth with the wind.

one word popped on my head,' hunted house', I instantly grew roots in the ground, nothing can move me !!

"let's go ", Li Ge simply says as he walks in front coolly, the people who followed Li behind realized something, they turned their faces behind to see a bunch of beasts hiding and trembling behind the tree, Xu kong hugging a tree with his teeth chattering, I standing still like a sculpture. and Thunnus beside me just standing waiting for me to go.

Su Mei: "seriously ?!"

Li Ge had black lines on his forehead, still, he didn't want to embarrass Erha, he also didn't want to force him to go in but leaving him here with these useless people is a no, he had watched a lot of movies with him, he knows what to do.

Li Xiang: "Erha, you know what happens to people left behind"

my body got shivers from down to my head, I take large footsteps directly taking lead in front, I'm afraid of ghosts though what I'm afraid of the most is obtaining the fate of cannon fodders!! just stick to the protagonist and everything is gonna turn up well, probably ?!

even though I took lead before, I just couldn't help it so I clung to Li GE's arm alas, it helped !! I felt safe and secure even courageous !! I knew it, Li Ge is the best!!

'ku,kuku', a black small shadow suddenly flew from under a rag thrown on the floor

"AHHHH", I scream my lungs out, I then see the culprit," a cro-crow!!", I stutter henceforth I recall what thought about, I turned bright red moreover I wanted to slap myself so badly,

what am I thinking I should acknowledge by now that I'm a scaredy-cat

next time, I'm not participating in phasmophobia events

never!
