Chapter 242 [Empire] Waiting in the Dark
I waited there for a long time, until dusk fell, the sunset cast a brilliant afterglow on the sky, and then the light gradually dimmed until no trace of sunlight could be seen.
The room was shrouded in dusk, a profound silence pervading. I sat there alone, my anticipation slowly fading as time passed. The warm hues of dusk gradually gave way to the chill of night, seemingly reflecting the loss within me.
Looking at the world outside the window that was gradually being swallowed by darkness, I began to doubt my decision.
During the long wait, memories kept flooding back. The days we had spent together in this house. There were laughter, tears, warmth, and touching moments.
At the time, it was only common.
As the night deepened, everything around me became blurry.
How many times have I waited for him? I can't remember.
The night deepened, the darkness like thick ink, enveloping the entire world tightly. Everything around me was immersed in silence, with only the occasional faint sound, as if reminding me of the passage of time.
The room was unnervingly quiet, with only the sound of my breathing faintly echoing in the air.
I sat alone in the place where we once lived together, my mind racing. Memories kept churning in the darkness.
Outside the window, the stars twinkled faintly in the distant sky, but they could not illuminate the confusion in my heart. In this deep night, loneliness surged into my heart like a tide.
My breathing subconsciously became heavier. I didn't know what this feeling was.
My breathing became heavier, and fatigue washed over me like a surging tide. My body felt as if bound by heavy shackles, making every movement extremely difficult.
My limbs gradually grew weak, my eyelids began to twitch. My energy was gradually drained away. The dark room seemed particularly oppressive, and the loneliness and helplessness only made the exhaustion more intense.
I strained to stay awake, trying to fight the urge to sleep. However, no matter how hard I tried, my eyelids only grew heavier. My consciousness began to blur, and everything around me gradually became hazy. I struggled to stay awake, but my body involuntarily relaxed. I refused to fall asleep while waiting, but the exhaustion and sleepiness were too overwhelming.
Half asleep and half awake, I seemed to see Wen Ya's figure. He walked towards me with a smile, as gentle as ever. I wanted to reach out and grab him, but found that my body could not move.
I couldn't move no matter what.
I seemed to see that newly sprouted wheat seed again, radiating an eerie hue and exuding a dangerous aura. Its terrifying, shadowy form, like a gloomy mist, loomed in my heart, sending a chill down my spine.
Its presence weighed even more heavily on my already exhausted body and mind. Fear followed me like a shadow, tightly entangling me and plunging me into a deeper state of unease in this dark moment.
Finally, I lost consciousness. In that moment, I couldn't tell whether I was asleep or had passed out. Everything around me suddenly became blurry, as if shrouded in a mist. In this endless darkness, my body felt weightless. I fell into an unknown state, unsure of what would happen next or when I would wake up.
There is no concept of time, no external interference, only silence and nothingness.
