Burning the flames of all things Prologue: Reunion
Some people say that the unknown means the greatest horror
When people cannot describe something, it is not understood by us. The mystery it has is precisely the source of people's awe and fear.
Thinking of this, some bizarre images that he seemed to have seen before appeared in his mind, some huge humanoid creatures, some parts of which are covered with tentacles, roots, or rotten marine plants. They are extremely huge, and they are staring at you with plural eyes on their bodies. Without any movement, you can feel a huge threat, as if lower lives meet higher lives, blood-born fear brought by the race genes.
It’s not that I scare myself. There is a description of how familiar but not as good as that, one day an ant saw an elephant he had never met before. The huge difference between the two made the ants who could think were frozen there and unable to move.
In front of ants, elephants are indescribable things. In front of people, gods are even more intangible. The gap between them during the period is much greater than that between ants and elephants.
He has read many myths, including Western and Eastern, and written by some people. In short, all kinds of myths describe something - the omnipotent. But all gods have human characteristics. In some famous myths, the human body is almost directly the god. Myths in some places will incorporate animal characteristics, but they can hardly escape the ability to walk upright with hands and feet.
The God of man is of course related to man.
He didn't know why he was thinking about these things. The time and space in the outside world seemed to have solidified, giving him almost infinite time to think.
Why? He thought hard, and finally, he remembered it. There was an indescribable strange picture in his mind, a creature made of completely black flames, and its appearance looked like a wolf that had been magnified dozens of times, but it was like a crawling person...
Its visible boundary has a similar airflow-like scene caused by changes in air density due to heat, and it looks like the air is bent.
He couldn't help but want to find the eyes of this thing, but he couldn't tell it, because this creature that looked blurry and looked like a purely black flame was floating on its body, each of which looked like an eye. As long as he looked over, those white flames were
Will see it.
This...is just his intuition
He kept asking himself, are you afraid? Are you afraid? Will he be killed?
He felt that he had transcended the state of fear, and fear in the face of such things seemed a bit ridiculous. He began to stop thinking about whether he would be killed by this creature. After that, he felt much more relaxed.
When I first saw this picture
His blood seemed to have solidified, his heart was still beating, but he could feel every cell contracting.
However, when he was completely unable to understand this terrible existence and was on the verge of collapse, it began to become less undescribable. It seemed to understand that he was facing a great enemy, but it was not hostile, so it began to change in his eyes, becoming smaller and clear, and the cold tone began to warm up. What surprised him even more was the sense of intimacy that came from deep inside him.
"It's you?" it said, his voice thrusting into his mind, as if it was coming from a very far place.
A very nice neutral sound
It sounds like a little confused
"But you shouldn't be here." It spoke again
He didn't understand that an existence who could kill him almost with his eyes actually spoke in this way, just like the god opposite him was just a huge body, and there was a child who didn't know whether he was a man or a woman.
Why am I here? He thought? But his mouth is faster than his thinking
"It's been a long time, long time" even though he didn't want to say that
"I was sleeping in the extremely cold place, but I was awakened by the red afterglow, but this world has changed so much that I can't even find a fellow tribe of the past. I wandered in the desolate land, of course, compared to tens of thousands of years of loneliness, this is nothing."
Could it be that you are a mummy? Or a zombie? It's so funny! But he naturally lowered his voice and said in a tragic tone
"But we will be back eventually, aren't we?"
It's so sad. When he said this, he suddenly felt his nose sore, as if he had experienced some great sorrow.
Heartbreaking things.
"Yes, we will come back. The world is rotten, the earth is full of sin and ugliness, it needs to be...new." Its voice carries hatred.
"One day..." He sighed softly
The black flames came over the surface, like rolling dark curtains passing through the body
"I'm leaving." The voice came through
“Where to go?”
"Go to find the red afterglow, even if it's tens of thousands of years, I have what I want to do."
All the black fog disappeared in an instant. The whole world began to become clear. He looked at it and found that he was sitting on the ground in a courtyard. There was a low table in front of him, with two ink-colored tea sets neatly placed on it. The tea still had heat, and the green leaves were spinning in the cup, but the person opposite him was gone.
The plaques on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are filled with big words "The beacon fire is a hundred-foot building, the autumn wind in Shanghai alone".
It was raining outside the courtyard, drizzling, and strange wailing sounds came. He stood up and wanted to go outside to take a look.
As soon as I opened the thick wooden door, a feeling of the end of the world suddenly came to my heart.
Oh my God, it was endless heavy rain, the ground was flooded, and all the houses were flooded. People and everything were stirred up in the vortex mud, and a dead breath came to their noses. The desolate wailing sounds were all around.
A corpse was nailed to death on the top of the city, and it was already rotten and looked disgusting.
The sky was dim, the dark clouds were rolling, and the blue lightning was beating.
He stood on the high wall, but his eyes looked outside the city, and it seemed that the guy had left.
"I'm so lucky. Fortunately, he left, otherwise he would be drowned." He thought so
There is a ticking sound in my ears
———

He came to his senses and rubbed his forehead. Passers-by walked by in a bustling manner. The table was swept away like a wind and clouds, leaving a cup of coffee steaming.
The clock in his hand told him that it was getting late.
