Chapter 1676: Section 1677: Three Doors
The rich fragrance of flowers filled his nose. Although Shalu was not a person who loved fragrance, he could not help but take a few deep breaths when he smelled the fragrance of flowers.
Amidst the fragrance of flowers, Cell's originally uneasy mood gradually relaxed.
He opened his eyes and wanted to see where he was.
In front of me is a winding path, at the end of which is a very inconspicuous wooden house.
The cabin looked unremarkable, but the path leading to it filled Cell with trepidation. On either side of the path lay endless darkness, like a path emerging from the chaotic void.
Against this backdrop, even the wooden house seemed eerie.
"Where is this?" Cell took a step back in fear, but as soon as his toes touched the ground, he immediately retracted his steps. Because behind him was also endless emptiness.
There was only one path leading to the cabin where he could stand firmly.
Cell's mind was in constant turmoil. He wanted to know where he was, but no one could tell him. He shouted loudly, but received no response.
Cell could only calm down.
Surrounded by the rich fragrance of flowers, Cell inexplicably felt that his thinking became much clearer.
With no one responding, it seemed the only thing he could do was to explore on his own. But if he did, the environment here was so strange and there might be danger.
When Cell hesitated, the faces of Angel and Frod appeared in his mind.
There is no doubt that it was they who brought him here.
If they wanted to kill him, there were many ways to do it, so it shouldn't be that troublesome. Since they didn't want him to die, throwing him here definitely wasn't an unsolvable dead end.
Since it's not a dead end, maybe there is a way out.
The only way in front of me seems to be to go into the wooden house.
Cell thought for a moment, then finally took a step and headed towards the cabin. He couldn't stay where he was forever. If he wanted to change, he had to change himself.
As Cell walked towards the wooden house, Angel and Frode were also talking outside.
"Although Cell appears reckless and arrogant, I've observed that he's actually very cautious, even to the point of being timid." Frode said with doubt, "Given Cell's personality, would he really enter the cabin?"
Angel glanced at Frode in surprise: "It seems that you have never entered the House of Heart."
Frode wondered, "Does this matter?"
"If you've ever been to the Heart House, you'd know. Cell would definitely go into the cabin, not just because he had no choice, but also because he wasn't thinking at that moment."
Cell thought he had made a careful decision before entering the cabin, but in reality, given his real personality, he would not have made such a quick decision.
The reason he made such a quick decision was actually because of the fragrance of the flowers. The fragrance was actually part of the illusion, seemingly to awaken the mind, but in fact it also had the effect of inducing thinking.
For an illusionist like Angel, the scent of flowers was completely useless to him. But for Cell, under the allure of the flowers, he was completely unaware of the difference and thought it was his own decision.
After hearing Angel's words, Frode finally understood that this was the purpose of the floral scent in the Heart House. He had previously recorded the process of Knight Saber entering the Heart House and had actually noticed the abnormality of the floral scent, but he had not focused on it.
"Come to think of it, are you really not going to experience the House of Heart?" Angel looked at Frod.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Frode's face, and his eyes slightly avoided: "Forget it, I don't know whether it is obsession or obsession in my heart. I just don't want to face... the past."
Angel looked at Frode deeply and nodded noncommittally: "It's up to you. The Heart House is right here anyway. You can go and experience it anytime."
“Facing the past is actually facing your future.”
Frod lowered his head, said "hmm", and stopped talking.
On the other side, Cell was almost approaching the wooden house, and so far he didn't feel anything unusual.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. There's actually no danger inside the cabin?" Just as Cell was thinking this, a black shadow suddenly passed over the window of the cabin.
Cell paused.
He didn't see clearly what the black shadow was, but the appearance of this black shadow meant that there must be someone in the wooden house... or some kind of creature.
Cell felt a little uneasy, but when the fragrance of the flowers reached his nose, the uneasiness inexplicably subsided. Cell himself didn't notice, but muttered to himself, "Maybe it's Master Tisen in there. He wants to see me for something, so he deliberately made such a scene... Or maybe my brother Lisa is in there?"
The idea of benefit kept emerging in Cell's mind, making him less afraid and even more expectant, and he continued walking towards the wooden house.
When he arrived in front of the wooden house, Sharu noticed that there were several pots of brightly colored flowers on the steps of the wooden house. The rich fragrance must have come from these flowers.
Cell lifted his foot and stepped onto the stairs.
The moment his feet touched the ground, the surroundings suddenly changed. As if time and space had been displaced, the original wooden house disappeared, and what appeared before Cell was a corridor that connected to the void at both ends.
In this corridor, there are three doors.
While Cell was still wondering what had happened before, he had already arrived at the first door.
When Cell saw the door, a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes. The door was very old and had mottled marks on it.
Cell looked at the familiar door, and many childhood memories suddenly emerged in his mind.
He squatted down and touched the door frame at his knees. When he felt some scratches, his eyes suddenly became moist.
Why is there such a door here? I have been away for more than ten years, why is this door here?
Cell put his ear to the door, trying to listen to what was going on inside, but he heard nothing.
He stretched out his trembling hand and tried to push the door open.
But in the end, he withdrew his hand.
After his mother passed away, he and his brother Lisa left their hometown with their uncle and went to live in Saint Syme. Since then, he has never returned to his hometown.
The door in front of you is the main door of the former residence.
He wanted to push it open and take a look, but he was afraid.
It's a strange feeling, not the kind of worry and fear about the unknown, but the fear of facing the place where I used to live... or in other words, homesickness.
In the end, Cell clenched his fists and did not push open the door.
He planned to check the other two doors to figure out the situation here first.
Cell took a deep breath and came to the second door. This door was an iron door.
Even though this iron door was unremarkable and as cold and hard as ice, Cell recognized it at a glance.
This is the door of my uncle's house.
He and his brother Lisa lived in his uncle's house for six years. Those six years were the most painful six years of his life. The feeling of living under someone else's roof and the memories of being powerless to resist were like nightmares that have haunted him until now.
Cell looked at the iron gate, a cold gleam of hatred flashing in his eyes.
However, he still didn't push the door open. He even disdained to touch it.
Cell finally came to the third door. This door was completely different from the previous two doors. It was a door divided into two halves, and the door frame was made of stone. It looked a little familiar...
It seems to be the gate of Chuxin City?
However, it is a scaled-down version.
