The clink of the clock rang out second by second. The long red needle moves dynamically around the number, from number one to number twelve, then back again to number one for the next spin.
A short black needle points at the number 11, while a long needle points at the number 12. It was the only sound that echoed in the quiet room.
Outside, the rain was still pouring.
Qingyi was still engrossed in struggling with her notebook. He is a fictional script editor of a publishing company known as the publisher of phenomenal books. Because of the long struggle in the world of literature, Qingyi dubbed “Queen Fantasy Charismatic”, which has guided the writers to become a fairly successful writer.
It's just that his behavior sometimes makes people dizzy seven-round. Mostly, he had them revise the story before being sent back to him for curation. Now, he is finishing his latest project.
The anti-radiation glasses perched on his nose sagged. The girl's hair was slightly disheveled with bangs covering her forehead. At first glance, she looks like a geeky girl who is often bullied by her friends, even though her age is clearly no longer young.
At the time the clock showed at 12pm, Qingyi was attacked by a very heavy drowsiness. He is not usually sleepy at this hour. Strange, though jel as-obviously he did not take sleeping pills. The sound of rain outside grew louder, accompanied by thunder and lightning that came muffling.
His computer screen suddenly emitted a golden light. Qingyi immediately ran away, to the corner of her room. The longer, the golden light was getting bigger and dazzling. The atmosphere inside her apartment room suddenly turned tense. The hour hand suddenly stopped moving, the lights suddenly went out.
Amidst that darkness, the golden light from the computer was the only light. Qingyi struggled with all her fear, closing her eyes while praying. Who would have thought that when she closed her eyes, some strange figure sprung up inside her head, coming in turns while saying a similar word “Fuck girl!” which hurts the ears.
Qingyi grew more and more frightened. He tried to open his eyes, but all he saw was a golden light that continuously enlarged, ready to devour all the objects around him. He tried to reach for his phone by fumbling, but he found nothing.
Just as Qingyi tried to walk to escape, the golden light from the computer reached the peak. The entire room of Qingyi's apartment turned bright. It was as if there was a very strong magnetic field. His whole body cannot be controlled. The golden light was ready to devour him alive!
“Anyone, help me!”
Qingyi shouted loudly. However, his apartment seemed to turn into a soundproof room. No one will be able to hear her scream in the middle of the night. His body was getting closer to the golden light. Over time, the rest of his energy was barely left.
Amidst her panic, Qingyi's body suddenly shrank into that of an 18-year-old girl. The nightgown she was wearing slowly turned into a long strand of light blue cloth, wrapping her body gently, creating a new, strange-looking body scene. Her hair was also long.
Qingyi could not see clearly because the golden light was so bright. He felt that all of his world had suddenly ended, stopping at that very second. He could only stand still and imagine that his life would end because this golden light continuously sucked all his energy to the point of almost being left alone. Then, Qingyi felt that she was already unable to endure it anymore and closed her eyes.
“Hey, wake! Are you going to stay asleep there?”
A strange sound sucked up Qingyi's entire consciousness. When he opened his eyes, he felt that the world he saw was no longer his world.
The sky before his eyes was so clear blue, it was not contaminated by dirty air and pollution. There was a rustling sound from the wind that moved the leaves. Cold air greeted him too.
Qingyi fumbled around. There was a strong smell of grass all around him. The girl tried to guess that she was currently in the middle of a lush green meadow. Qingyi was still lying down, looking at the sky and sun that were not as hot as before.
“What is heaven?” ask Qingyi who she knows.
“What heaven? You better get up! Otherwise, you will never look back at the sun in your home world!”
That voice again. Who is the owner of the voice?
Qingyi lay on a short and wide green grass. When he tried to get up, he saw a very high waterfall. Underneath there is a pond and a small river that drains clear water surrounded by fine rocks.
There was no one else here, so where did that voice come from?
Qingyi turned her head when her sleeve was pulled by something. Beside him, an animal - it seemed like a little panda cub was pulling his cloth while jumping around. Qingyi was stunned for a moment to digest everything. The little panda kept jumping up and down like she was about to tell you something.
Qingyi raised the little panda. He watched her from head to toe. It looks like a panda in general. He saw the rebellious movement of the panda. Her tiny hands and feet moved to be lowered. Qingyi was still holding onto it.
Qingyi was still holding onto the panda.
“What are you that just talked to?”
The little panda thrashed.
“Yes, me! I'm the one who talked to you!”
Qingyi directly threw the little panda into the pond with all her might. He was depressed by something that had just happened to him. Where is this? What the hell is going on?
“I must be crazy!” qingyi exclaimed to herself.
“Oh Lord, my charity is much good. If you want to count, after you're done put me in heaven!” yell again.
The little panda that was thrown into the pool just came out of there. Feathers wet. The panda moved its body, bringing out all the water that went into its fur. What the fuck? He had just helped wake the woman up, why was it thrown into the pool?
“No, you're not crazy. Try to open your eyes again and see everything,” said the panda as he walked towards Qingyi.
Qingyi opened her eyes again. Everything he saw was real. Plus when he pinched his arm, it hurt. If it hurts, it is not a dream. But the biggest question is what is this place? What the hell has happened?
“I don't understand what you mean. But, may I know, who are you and why are you talking to me? Are you lost too?”
The cute little panda shook his head.
“I am Yinghao. I'm a little housekeeper. You are the chosen one I must serve. So, let's cooperate well!” yinghao said while jumping up and down.
“This is a dimensional space connected to your mind and soul.”
The little panda explained. Although he was a little upset, he should not be angry at this woman. Later on, this woman should she serve well.
“Dimension space?” ask Qingyi.
Qingyi did not understand the panda's words. If the panda could speak like a human, but could the language be easier to understand? Dimension space? Was it like the space that existed in the fictional stories he created?
“Oh, I must have really gone crazy! Am I too tired to hallucinate like this?” ask him to yourself.
The panda shook his head.
“Are you not the story editor of The Long Ballad: A Tale of Sky Pendant? This is the space created by the story. You're the chosen one who has to finish the story. You can also use this room as you please. The way is quite easy, you only need to wipe the locket twice, then you will enter this space whenever you want,” Yinghao continued.
Qingyi tried to remember. Isn't that the title of his latest project?
