Opening Blind Boxes in the Demon World

This is a black cave. Huge cracks have opened on the floor of the cave. Black smoke spurts out from the cracks, as if invisible flames are burning there.

In this cave, there is a girl. She is naked and using her hands and feet to crawl quickly on the rocks. No matter whether it is the steep rock wall or the suspended cave roof, there will be no obstacle to her crawling.

She sometimes stops, sometimes moves quickly, and the transition between movement and stillness is completed instantly. It is not an action that humans can make at all. She is like a deadly and agile spider that ignores the laws of physics.

Suddenly, the girl seemed to have discovered something, her nose began to twitch, and the next moment, she shot out like an arrow from the string, jumped five or six meters, and came to a rock crevice.

This crack in the rock is as wide as a palm, like a hideous wound.

Without hesitation, she put her palm deep into the rock crevice.

The black smoke from the rock crevice spit out on the girl's hand, making a chichi sound. Visible to the naked eye, the skin and flesh on the girl's hand were corroded by the black smoke, as if it had been touched by strong acid.

But the girl didn't care. Her hands were quickly groping for something in the rock crevice.

A few seconds later, a scream rang out, and the girl retracted her hand. In her palm, a fat black worm appeared. The worm was the size of a fist, with a pair of sickle-like mouthparts on its head, and sparse but hard worms on its body. With bristles, it struggled desperately and made a shrill cry.

The girl opened her mouth, stuffed the black worm into her mouth, and bit it down in one bite.

puff!

There was a sound like a water bag exploding, and dark red juice splashed out from the corner of the girl's mouth. With her quick eyes and quick hands, she caught all the juice in the air.

After chewing a few times, she swallowed the worm, and then she licked her palm carefully, licking up all the juice without leaking a drop.

The fifth one.

She counted silently in her mind. As long as she found three more, she would have enough strength to climb up again.

Climb this cliff of an abyss that is filled with black fireworks and seems to have no end at all.

She couldn't remember how she was born or how she grew up.

From the time she could remember, she followed her mother and lived in this abyss. Black fireworks were burning in the abyss. It was eternal darkness. Occasionally, indescribable sounds could be heard from the abyss, as if they were the whispers of gods. .

The mother builds her home in the crevices of the cliff, and these black worms are their food.

At that time, my mother went hunting outside the rock crevices every day, and she would lie on the hard black rock, waiting for her mother to return. There was no day or night in the abyss, and she would fall asleep when she was sleepy. The sound coming from the abyss was hers. Lullaby.

And every time she woke up, her mother would bring back delicious food. It was the happiest time in her memory.

Unfortunately, good memories don't last long.

Every year, the black fireworks in the abyss would spread upward. At that time, her mother would carry her on her back and climb up, looking for higher cracks.

Day after day, year after year.

She went from being carried on her mother's back to being able to climb steep rock walls by herself.

She has grown up.

However, the upwelling of black fireworks became more and more frequent.

She and her mother kept climbing on this endless rock wall.

As more and more time is spent looking for a new home, less and less food can be caught.

Finally, the mother fell.

Years of fatigue and scars, as well as the burning of black fireworks, have made my mother overdraw her life.

When she was dying, her mother left her last wish, asking her to promise to her no matter what.

She nodded through tears.

My mother said that when my grandmother was still alive, she said that this abyss cliff has an end.

Her lifelong wish is to see the end of the abyss.

However, this wish was destined not to come true.

Her last wish was that she could carry her body on her back and continue climbing.

This way...when she's hungry.

Then there is a source of food and she can climb higher.

And she will become one with her and witness miracles or death together.

…

woo woo woo woo--

An indescribable sound came from beneath the abyss, interrupting the girl's thoughts.

The girl immediately stopped and her ears moved slightly. The sound meant that the fireworks would surge again and she would have no time to continue hunting.

She jumped up and jumped out of the rock crevice.

Start climbing in order to continue your life.

The girl moves extremely quickly and can jump several meters in height at will. She is like a vigorous spirit deer crossing the mountains.

Under her body, the fireworks began to breed, breed, until... gushing out!

Boom!

The black fireworks were like a surging ocean tide, and its surging speed was faster than that of the girl.

The girl didn't look back, she just kept climbing forward. Her palms were burned by the fireworks, and the wounds had not yet healed. The exposed flesh touched the hard and rough rocks again and again, and blood flowed across it.

But she has long been used to it. These pains are nothing, but there is one thing that cannot be ignored even with willpower.

That is... physical fitness.

After all, she didn't eat enough food. Just four worms were only enough to support her climbing for a few hours.

However, this burst of fireworks was exceptionally long...

Physical energy is being depleted rapidly.

She couldn't hold it any longer.

call!

Due to lack of physical strength, the girl's palm slipped and her body fell from the air.

With her life hanging by a thread, her body twisted violently in the air, falling at high speed, and barely managed to catch a protruding rock.

This time she fell dozens of meters, and she was closer to the fireworks in the abyss.

The girl's arms were covered in blood.

Finally, she turned back and glanced at the endless abyss.

My mother said, never look down at any time, or even mention the word abyss.

For the first time in her life, she looked into the abyss.

She wanted to take a look at the place where she was about to sleep.

She saw black fireworks surging only ten meters below her. There seemed to be countless pairs of dark red eyes hidden in the fireworks, which looked like some unknown life.

Is there life in the abyss?

There was a hint of confusion in the girl's dark eyes.

Um? what is that?

She saw that among the rolling fireworks, there was a milky white vortex. The vortex seemed to be releasing something outward and shot into the eyes. It was a little painful, as if something invisible was piercing the eyes.

That milky white thing is...

Light?

Is it light?

Is it the light that mother said?

She once asked her mother what would be at the top of the cliff.

My mother said that there is sky, plains, flowers, and light on the top of the cliff.

She asked what light was.

My mother said that light is a soft ray, it is very bright, and the eyes can see more clearly if it reflects it, but if you look directly at the light, it will feel dazzling.

Is that really light?

But why does the light appear in the abyss and not on the top of the cliff as my mother said?

At this moment, a soft voice sounded in the girl's ears.

It was a language that the girl had never heard before, but for some reason, she could understand it.

Are you willing to leave this world? Yes, or no?

She was stunned. What was this sound?

Is it the bewitchment of abyssal creatures?

Maybe, but with death imminent, she has nothing to hesitate about because she has no other choice.

For now... I would like to...

At that moment, the girl felt that her body became lighter, until she lost all weight.

She floated up, and at the same time, the milky white vortex created a strong suction force.

She was pulled by the force, drifting towards the whirlpool and the abyss.

The girl didn't resist.

If you want to die, die in the light...
