It was late at night, but Han Meilin's house was brightly lit.
After getting off the taxi, I went straight to the house. The door was ajar, and I pushed it open and walked in.
There were some men and women in the living room. They were holding cocktails and talking in low voices in the corners, by the door or in front of the window. After I entered, they just looked up for a glance and then continued with their own business, as if they hadn't seen me. I knew that they had the same identity as Han Meilin.
To us, they are an alien race. To them, we are the alien race.
I threw my travel bag aside and sat on the sofa. I saw one or two familiar faces among them, who were classmates from school. I didn't expect that they were also from an alien race.
There was a blonde woman standing in the corner. Her name was Salina, and she had a sexy and stunning figure that could make people's blood boil. We used to sit together in biology class, and now she was walking towards me.
"Hi, Yuexi. Are you all right these days?"
"Fine."
We sat on the sofa together, and she said to me in a low voice, "Yuexi, I know you are going to that place tonight. All of us are here for you. Our power will help you get there smoothly."
I leaned on the sofa and looked at the orange-yellow light in the living room listlessly, without responding.
"Do you know, Yuexi? All of us have been there, but we all failed. Do you know why?"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but look up and stared at her in surprise.
"Listen, Yuexi. I have to remind you that if you want everything to go well, you'd better not have sexual relations with the elves there. If you force it, you will endure great pain. But after the great pain, there will be great pleasure. After the pleasure, there will be irresistible desires, and you will suffer a lot and be in great pain. Then your task will fail."
I looked at her and asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
She looked embarrassed and replied slowly, "Last time I went there, the people who had been there before also reminded me like this, but I didn't care. As a result, I really came back disappointed."
I felt a little curious and wanted to ask more, but she immediately got up and walked away.
I got up and wanted to chase after her to ask. A boy stopped me, "Sorry, you can't know too much. What she just told you was just fulfilling an obligation."
"Obligation?"
"Yes. When a task fails, the previous executor has the obligation to warn the next executor. But in order not to affect your own judgment, she won't tell you more."
Just then, the wall clock suddenly rang. All the people in the living room suddenly stopped talking and all their eyes were on me.
Han Meilin appeared out of nowhere. She smiled at me slightly and then immediately called everyone to come to me and said, "Li Yuexi, it's time to go."
It was three o'clock in the morning. When the clock finished striking three times, Han Meilin said, "One minute later, you will arrive at that place."
I closed my eyes, clenched my hands into fists, and my chest rose and fell slightly.
I had never felt that one minute could be so difficult to endure and so scary. Beads of sweat oozed from my forehead one by one.
It felt like time was counting by seconds. Every second passed, my heart beat once.
One second, another second...
I didn't know how long it had been. Suddenly, everything around me became so quiet that it was terrifying. I didn't know what had happened or whether I had arrived at that scary place.
Suddenly, a pungent fishy smell rushed into my nose. I subconsciously covered my mouth and then slowly opened my eyes.
At the moment when I opened my eyes, I was first stunned, then my eyes widened in disbelief, and finally I screamed shrilly. The piercing sound cut through the sky instantly.
My God, is this a mass grave?
Under the bright moonlight, I found myself in a huge pit, surrounded by piles of elf corpses, bones and heads. They looked the same as the elves I saw in the magnificent hall that day. But now they had ferocious faces and tragic death postures, lying sprawled in this huge pit.
Most of their bodies were incomplete. Their heads and bodies were separated, and broken arms and legs could be seen everywhere. The blood slowly spread on the ground and then solidified. Under the moonlight, it was like a cruel, gorgeous and strange blood-red rose. And I was standing right in the middle of these corpses.
Corpses, corpses everywhere. My God, I had never seen so many terrifying corpses. The blood flowed like a river, and the strong fishy smell kept coming towards me, submerging me completely.
