He climbed out of the abyss just to bring her back from the altar.
On a rainy night in the old city, Lin Xiaoyu was dragged into the Shadow Empire by a black tentacle extending from a crack. She didn't even have time to call out Wanxi's name.
Xi survived.
The price is that there is a mass of nothingness in the body that can swallow everything.
The Shadow Hunters call him Experimental Subject Zero, and the Black Moon Court calls him the Key to Nothingness. Only Lin Xiaoyu never called those names - she used the soul-purifying fire to draw road signs for him under the White Bone Bell Tower, used her fingernails to carve blood letters on the Black Moon Altar to pass down secret codes, and clung to his last name at the edge of her memory being stripped away.
The Seventh Base gave him a squad. A captain who will block roads in advance, a heavy soldier who will stand in front even if his shield is broken, an intelligence agent who uses his shadow as a road sign, and a doctor who won't let anyone die on the operating table.
They taught him three things: ask for help, call for stop, and don't treat people who are willing to go with you as expendable.
When the Dark Emperor Ye Jin activated the City Eclipse Boat to suppress the situation, when Lu Chenzhou deduced the mastermind of the Gray Warehouse to restart for the seventh time, when the Shadow King raised his knife outside the door but did not drop it——
The walls of the Seventh Base are already covered with answers:
Even if it is cracked, it can still be blocked. If it rings by mistake, it can be fixed. When your name comes back, you have to enter the door slowly.
And she waited for him on the altar for many nights across the world.
This time, he wants to take everyone the rest of the way.
She staked her life on the darkness, and he walked into the abyss into the world.
