Two people are ringing the doorbell?

Inevitably thinking of the previous advance notice letter, Xia Kong opened the door and said to the anxious Obsidian, "Let me see it first, don't be afraid."

Unexpectedly, Obsidian pouted and retorted, "I'm worried about you, sister.

If it's a bad guy, you won't have a chance to resist. "

… Is it really okay to be so straightforward?

Obviously, he's still the cute little boy, but why is he becoming more and more proficient in talking!

Xia Kong pinched the little guy's face, then took his soft hand and walked to the door.

Looking out from the peephole, there were two girls who looked and dressed very similar standing outside the yard.

Pink hair reached her shoulders, and her eyes were covered with black eye masks.

The one on the left was holding a simple black square box without any patterns on it.

Is that the gift mentioned in the advance notice letter?

"Here's the phone, your sister who can't resist is going outside to have a look. If something really happens, remember to call for help from inside."

Thinking about it, if it's a bad guy, it's impossible to be so polite. Xia Kong handed the phone to Obsidian half-jokingly and then went out to welcome them.

Her appearance made the two girls look at her at the same time, the lower half of their faces were tightly pursed, showing no trace of emotion.

"We've been looking for you for a long time." The pink-haired girl on the right said in a flat tone after she approached.

The girl on the left followed and spoke in the same tone as the girl just now, "These seven rings belong to you."

"Today, we're here to return them to their rightful owner."

"Sa, take it."

The two girls spoke in turn, and the one on the left handed over the box in her hand.

"Rings?

What's that?

Who are you? "Xia Kong maintained a suspicious attitude towards the things in the box, she didn't reach out to take it.

Every child knew that they shouldn't take things that belonged to strangers as they pleased.

"We're Cherbelo, the chosen keepers of the rings, just fulfilling the obligation of keeping the rings."

"For the convenience of management, we call them Dimensional Rings."

"There are seven rings in total." The girl on the left opened the box, revealing seven rings embedded inside.

The rings were all silver in color. The only difference was the color of the gems on them.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple were the colors of the rainbow.

However, the gem seemed to be covered with a layer of dust and looked lifeless.

What was even stranger was that the shape of the gem seemed to have been cut in half.

What's going on?

Xia Kong took a closer look and found that not only were there gemstones, but even the ring below seemed to be only half complete.

As if seeing her confusion, the girl on the right said honestly, "These seven rings are not complete. The other half is already in the hands of another suitable person."

"If you want to obtain the complete ring, as an orange dimensional ring adapter, you must find the six Guardians and fight another adapter for the ring one day in the future."

"We, Cherbelo, will be the referee of the competition. The specific situation will be determined according to the development of the situation."

"Our explanation ends here. If you choose not to accept the rings, we will determine that all the rings belong to another person."

The girl on the left closed the box in her hand and handed it over again.

Xia Kong frowned awkwardly.

To be honest, she was not interested in the competition for the rings at all. When it came to fighting, she always felt that it was troublesome.

However, if she didn't accept it, all the rings would run to another person. It was as if something that originally belonged to her had been taken away by someone else. It was unpleasant.

Also, dimensional … This word seemed to have something to do with space, right?

Didn't people often say that there were different dimensional spaces in the world? They even called the world in manga and anime the two-dimensional world, and the reality was the three-dimensional world?

Wait, wait, different dimensional space?!

If it was another space, there must be many interesting phenomena that had never been seen before.

"Dimensional ring, does it mean that this ring has the ability to travel to different dimensional spaces?" Xia Kong asked expectantly.

The two girls who called themselves Cherbelo looked at each other and answered at the same time, "We, Cherbelo, do not know the ability of the ring. The answer to this question will be found by the user himself."

What was the difference between this and saying that they did not know?!

However, searching for clues sounded quite interesting.

Although she heard the answer she wanted, Xia Kong had already made a decision.

She looked at the box seriously for a few seconds and reached out to take it. It was cold to the touch and a little heavy.

"Then, see you in the future, owner of the Dimensional Ring."

After the two Cherbelo finished speaking, they jumped back onto the roof of Kyouya Hidaka's house and disappeared in mid-air.

Xia Kong held the box with both hands, shrugged, and turned to go back into the house.

The two girls who called themselves Cherbelo were so good at jumping. If they were really here to do something bad, it would really be as Obsidian said.

There was no way to resist …

Xia Kong sighed slightly and looked at Obsidian. She shook the box in her hand and said, "They were here to give this to me. They also said that it should belong to me."

"Is this really sister's thing?" Obsidian handed over her phone and looked at the box curiously. "What's inside?"

Xia Kong opened the box on the coffee table and told Obsidian what Cherbelo said.

The orange ring belonged to her, and the other six rings belonged to the Guardian.

The placement of the rings was like a hint, because the orange ring was in the middle, and the other six rings surrounded it, forming a protective state.

After listening to the explanation, Obsidian looked at the ring and then looked at her. She said in surprise, "There's such a thing? It's similar to the anime.

Then sister, are you going to wear the ring to find the Guardian and save the world?

I don't care, I must be sister's Guardian! "

"Pfft." Xia Kong did not know whether to laugh or cry. "What are you thinking?

How is it related to saving the world? "

Even if wearing the ring could save the world, it was still uncertain who the hero would be.

After all, there was another person with the ring who was holding the other half of the ring.

Eh, wait!

The other person with the ring, could it be the guy who sent the notice letter?

First of all, he clearly said that two guests would send gifts, so he must have experienced Cherbelo's gift of the ring.

But he also said that they were former collaborators … So, the other half of the ring was either in his hands, or he knew where the other half of the ring was!

What the hell was this!

All of a sudden, she estimated that there might be two enemies standing in the dark, one with the purpose of stealing the ring, and the other's purpose was still unclear. Xia Kong suddenly felt a headache and reached out to rub her temples.

However, the headache still did not ease.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Seeing her movements, Obsidian hurriedly asked, "Are you not feeling well?

Oh my god, is the ring poisonous? "

After he said that, he saw that Xia Kong's face was a little pale, and she was about to reach for her phone.

Xia Kong quickly explained, "No, no, Obsidian, you're too nervous.

Maybe it's because I've been reading too much these days, I feel a little tired.

It has nothing to do with the ring, the ring itself … is safe. "

"Really?" Obsidian was still worried.

"It's true." Xia Kong smiled. "If there's poison in the ring, you'll definitely feel uncomfortable."

"Oh … That's right.

If you feel tired, don't read anymore, go and rest.

Hurry up. "

The persuaded Obsidian pushed her all the way to the room, then pulled her onto the bed, and then covered her with the quilt, his little face full of worry. "You'll be fine after some rest. Be good."

The little boy frowned, and his tone was unbelievably gentle.

Xia Kong's heart softened, and she rubbed his short chestnut-colored hair, nodding obediently, "Okay, okay, I'll rest."

"Good girl, I'll help you bring the box in, sister."

"Okay."

Seeing Obsidian run out and back with the box, and then considerately close the door and leave, Xia Kong put her hand over her eyes, and let the darkness in front of her.

What are those …

It was like a slide show in her brain, playing one after another unrelated pictures in turn.

They flashed so fast that it was impossible to capture them.

Wanting to see them clearly, Xia Kong covered her eyes with her hands, and tried hard to establish a connection with those pictures in the dark.

Sitting on the other side of the long table, the brown-haired man who fell after being hit by a bullet …

Standing under a tree full of sunlight, the black-haired man whose eyes were scratched …

In a dark room, the white-haired man whose hands were twisted into strange arcs, but he didn't make a sound …

The bird whose feathers were plucked and hung over the fire to roast …

…

"Reality is scary …"

"Are you afraid?"

"Come here … here …"

"You … can't escape …"

An extremely unpleasant yet familiar voice sounded, and Xia Kong opened her eyes.

She saw many pairs of round eyes of different sizes, and many black hands reaching over, trying to grab her, but they just waved in vain, unable to get close.

This scene was the same as the first time she came here.

Xia Kong pursed her lips.

The monsters born from human hearts began to mumble some strange words.

"It's been so long …"

"Should, should, prove …"

"You're, really …"

"Are, are on my side …"

— It's been so long, it's time to prove that you're really on my side.

Xia Kong stood there in a daze, watching the eyes around her merge with the black hands and transform into the shape of a woman.

The woman's face only had one eye and one mouth, and her lips were curved into a strange smile.

This was a scene that only appeared in horror movies!

"Who are you?" Xia Kong asked.

The woman continued to smile silently, not speaking or moving.

Her only eye was looking in her direction, and it was full of mockery.

After asking a few more questions and not getting any response, Xia Kong once again paced back and forth in this pitch-black space.

After a few steps, she turned around and saw that the woman in black was also following behind her, not far nor close, and her expression didn't change at all.

Feeling a little speechless, Xia Kong decided on a direction and continued walking forward. Only when he saw a door did he stop.

Last time, didn't she walk for an entire night with nothing?

Feeling strange, she looked at the door from front to back, left to right.

It was just a normal door …
