The words of the Double-Cap Big Shot surprised everyone, but they also vaguely felt that it was reasonable, and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, no matter how you looked at it, that Skeleton King seemed more like an evil god.

The skeletons seemed undead and immortal, but they might have been just a kind of “nourishment,” supporting the truly undead and immortal.

The black-robed skeleton fell silent, but it wasn’t because he agreed with the Big Shot’s words, but because he hadn’t thought of any words to refute him for the moment.

After thinking for half a minute, the black robe finally thought of something, sneering: “Don’t think that just because you say this, I won’t throw you into the big whirlpool.”

Everyone: “…”

What, directly into the big whirlpool?

Was it that simple and crude?

Everyone looked at that big whirlpool that looked like a black hole and an abyss. They were certain that if a skeleton was thrown in, it would be crushed to pieces.

The black-robed skeleton was also straightforward. The first one he reached for was the Double-Cap Big Shot, who had spoken out of turn, wanting to throw him in.

However, before he could touch the Double-Cap Big Shot, the Double-Cap Big Shot grabbed his hand. The other hand grabbed Song Ran, who was holding Gu Lin, one person carrying three, and together they plunged into the big whirlpool.

Black-robed Skeleton: ???

Song Ran: ??!

Gu Lin’s childish voice: “Aiya!”

After the Double-Cap Big Shot took the three of them and plunged into the big whirlpool, they were instantly swallowed up and disappeared.

The several people on the boat: ???

Wait, it was fine for the Double-Cap Big Shot to pull the black robe, but why did he pull Song Ran and Gu Lin down too?

The Double-Cap Big Shot couldn’t be so careless. What’s more, he pulled the little cub down with him. It could only be intentional.

Su Qiao thought for a moment and also jumped down.

The several people on the boat looked at each other, all dumbfounded. What was going on?

The Skeleton Maiden spread her hands: “Interesting.”

Zhou Lu hesitated: “So, so should we jump or not?”

Before he could finish hesitating, the Skeleton Maiden had already jumped down first.

The remaining three no longer hesitated. Although they didn’t know what was happening, it was right to follow the majority. They immediately jumped into the big whirlpool.

–

After Gu Lin fell into the big whirlpool, he wasn’t wrapped by the swamp vortex, but entered a timeless, void space. It was pitch black everywhere, not a trace of light could be seen, and it was so quiet that there wasn’t even a sound.

Gu Lin could see in the dark, but he tried his best to blink his big eyes, and all he saw was darkness, nothing else.

The Double-Cap Big Shot and Song Ran were also nowhere to be seen. He was alone.

Gu Lin was still wearing his Ultraman backpack. He looked around. It was dark and silent, as if the whole world had suddenly disappeared, empty.

Gu Lin was a brave little cub, but at this moment, the panic of being abandoned by the whole world made him involuntarily nervous. His two little hands clutched the straps of his Ultraman backpack, clutching them tightly.

“Hat-gege, Song Ran-shushu…”

Gu Lin called out twice, but didn’t get any response.

Gu Lin, carrying his small backpack, stumbled forward for a distance, but after running for a while, the scene in front of him didn’t change at all, and there was no one else.

Gu Lin stopped, looked around again. Everywhere looked the same, indistinguishable, and the darkness was endless.

Gu Lin’s little face already had a crying expression, but he was holding back tears.

He stumbled forward again, but no matter how he ran, the scene in front of him didn’t change.

Gu Lin stopped, calling out to 9527 in his mind, his little voice tight, pretending to be calm, but it wasn’t hard to hear the tension in his little voice: [9527, where is this place? Where is cub now?]

However, 9527, who had always been on call, also seemed to have suddenly disappeared, with no response.

Gu Lin was completely panicked. In this chaotic darkness, he was as small as a dot, isolated and helpless. Besides him, there was no one, and besides the void of darkness, there was nothing.

“Wuwuwu, cub is lost…”

Gu Lin sat down with a thud, raising his little hand to wipe away tears. He didn’t even notice that his little hand had turned back into a soft, fleshy little hand.

He sat on the ground, his skeleton form changing back into the form of a human cub, his little face fair and tender, his expression pouting with grievance.

“Wuwuwu, gege, cub is lost!” Gu Lin sat on the ground, wuwu shedding tears, “Save cub!”

But there was no one, no 9527, and even the aunties in the livestream chat had disappeared.

It was as if suddenly, the whole world was left with only this little baby less than two years old.

Gu Lin didn’t dare to cry loudly, only daring to sob softly and shed tears, wiping his tears with his little fleshy hand as he cried.

Just then, a voice sounded in the dark void. The voice was very similar to Gu Lin’s, also a childish voice.

“Don’t cry.”

Gu Lin was crying. Hearing this voice, he suddenly looked up and looked around, but he didn’t see anyone, still only seeing darkness.

Gu Lin’s fair little face was still covered in tears. Not seeing anyone, he thought he had misheard, and focused on crying, looking incredibly pitiful.

At this time, that voice sounded again, indistinguishable in emotion, but not fierce, seemingly trying to soften its tone, repeating, “Don’t cry.”

Gu Lin: “…”

Gu Lin was stunned for a moment, then realized that someone really was speaking.

He raised his little arm and wiped away his tears, then looked up, wanting to find the owner of the voice, but all around was endless darkness, nothing.

That voice sounded again: “You can’t see me.”

Gu Lin stopped crying, but his voice still carried a sob, sniffling and saying, “Who, who are you?”

The voice was still childish, but slightly different from Gu Lin’s: “You don’t know me yet.”

Gu Lin found that he was no longer alone here. The panic of being abandoned by the world dissipated a lot. His voice was clear and tender, telling the other person about getting lost: “Cub accidentally got lost, can’t find Hat-gege and Song Ran-shushu. We jumped down from that big black hole, and cub fell here.”

That voice disappeared again.

Gu Lin was stunned, his hands supporting himself on the ground, getting up. He looked left and right, and even looked up, but the top was also pitch black.

He couldn’t hear the voice again for a long time, and Gu Lin panicked again.

He was about to call out to the other person when a small figure walked towards him from the darkness.

This small figure was about the same size as Gu Lin, walking out of the darkness, all the way to Gu Lin.

Gu Lin, seeing the other person approach, was stunned: “Who are you? Was it you talking to me just now?”

The other person also looked at Gu Lin, and after a moment, nodded.

Gu Lin widened his eyes in surprise, looking at the other person, then looking down at himself, then looking at the other person again, saying, “You’re also a child!”

The other person, looking at Gu Lin, said, “I’m not a child.”

Gu Lin said, “Huh?”

Standing in front of Gu Lin at this moment was a child who looked about the same size as Gu Lin, with exquisite and sharp features, pale skin, and beautiful facial features with a hint of aggressiveness. He didn’t look as soft and cute as Gu Lin, with a kind of aloof and dangerous aura that was not easy to approach.

Despite his young age, his aura was very strong, his whole body exuding that overwhelming aura.

But at this moment, this aura was well-contained by the other person.

The other person said: “You woke me up from chaos. I followed your form and manifested a form.”

Gu Lin was confused by the other party. Why couldn’t he understand what he was saying?

Gu Lin touched his face, frowning, and said, “But you don’t look like a cub.”

Although Gu Lin was small, he still knew what he looked like.

The other person, looking at Gu Lin, explained, “I made some changes. If we looked the same, it would be easy to get confused.”

Gu Lin said “Oh,” and at this moment he wasn’t afraid anymore. Belatedly, he realized that he had changed back into a human cub form, no longer a little skeleton.

Immediately, his mood improved, and he even had the mind to make friends: “Hello, my name is Gu Lin, what’s your name?”

The other person was silent for a moment: “I don’t have a name.”

Gu Lin scratched his little head, his little expression puzzled.

The other person looked at Gu Lin for a while and said, “You are an auspicious beast, a little qilin.” He used a declarative tone.

Gu Lin widened his eyes, looked down at himself, not an auspicious beast cub, but a human cub form.

How did the other person know he was an auspicious beast?

Gu Lin opened his mouth: “How did you know?”

Gege said that if people knew he was a little qilin, they would capture him and do research.

Gu Lin immediately put on a serious little face, looking at the other person vigilantly, his little feet quietly moving back, quietly moving a little bit away from the other person.

The other person took in all of Gu Lin’s expressions and actions, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, seemingly smiling. He didn’t answer Gu Lin’s question, but went back to answer his previous question.

“My name is Qi Yuan.”

Gu Lin was not so easily fooled: “Qi Yuan? Didn’t you just say you didn’t have a name?”

Qi Yuan: “Now I have one.”

Gu Lin: “Oh.”

Gu Lin still had a straight little face, looking at Qi Yuan, looking like he was afraid the other person would capture him to do research.

Qi Yuan seemed to see his thoughts and said, “I’m not human either, I won’t capture you.”

Gu Lin was meng, but also relaxed, and happily moved back: “Ah? Then what are you? Are you also a ruishou?”

Qi Yuan looked at his little feet moving, pretending not to know, not showing anything. He said very abstractly: “Probably like the existence of a star. Just a kind of existence.”

Gu Lin didn’t understand, only understanding half: “Are you a little star?”

His eyes were shining as he looked at him: “Cub likes little stars the most, always wanted to have a star friend.”

Qi Yuan didn’t answer. Hearing him mention friends, his voice lowered: “I don’t have friends, no family, only myself.”

Hearing him say this, Gu Lin, this naturally friendly little cub, immediately and without reservation stretched out his little chubby hand, holding the other person’s little hand, happily saying: “Then cub will be your friend, and you will have a friend!”

Qi Yuan looked at his hand holding his own, and a smile seemed to appear at the corner of his mouth: “Mm-hmm.”

Gu Lin, seeing that he agreed to be friends with him, tilted his little head and said, “Hello, my star friend.”

Qi Yuan looked at him: “Hello, my only friend.”

–

Gu Lin sat down on the ground, patted the empty space beside him with his little hand, signaling for Qi Yuan to sit down too.

Qi Yuan glanced at the Ultraman backpack behind him, and after a moment of silence, sat down beside him.

He didn’t stretch out his two short little legs like Gu Lin, but bent his knees, sitting quite imposingly, his arms resting on his legs.

But his current image was that of a child, which added a touch of cuteness.

Gu Lin, bababa, told Qi Yuan about how he came to Skeleton Island, how he became a little skeleton, and how he jumped into the big whirlpool.

Qi Yuan listened without much reaction, not surprised. He explained to Gu Lin: “Skeleton Island is not Skeleton Kingdom, it’s just a small island of Skeleton Kingdom.”

“The people of Skeleton Kingdom, through the undead curse, plundered the vitality of the skeletons, wanting to pursue immortality.”

Gu Lin was very good at grasping key points: “Then how do you lift the curse?”

Qi Yuan told him the method: “After you go up, you can do this.”

Gu Lin nodded after listening.

This cub, many questions he couldn’t remember to ask, such as Qi Yuan’s origins, why he knew so much, why he was here, why jumping down the big whirlpool led to this place.

Gu Lin looked at Qi Yuan, thinking astutely: “Then we are good friends now, I’ll call you Ah Yuan-didi, you call me Linlin-gege.”

Qi Yuan: “…”

Qi Yuan was silent for half a second, looking up and down at Gu Lin, and said truthfully: “You’re too small to be a gege.”

Gu Lin: “You look younger than me.”

Qi Yuan said: “I don’t have the concept of a child. I just manifested in your form. You are this small.”

Gu Lin puffed out his cheeks, instantly turning into a little pufferfish: “But cub wants to be gege.”

Qi Yuan looked at him, not speaking, but also not compromising.

After a moment of stalemate, Qi Yuan said, “I’ll send you out to find your friends.”

Gu Lin remembered at this time that after he was pulled into the big whirlpool by Hat-gege, Hat-gege and Song Ran-shushu were gone, and he came to this place alone.

Gu Lin looked around at the persistent darkness, and then remembered to ask: “Ah Yuan-didi, where are we now?”

Ah Yuan-didi was indeed what he called him.

Qi Yuan: “…My divine consciousness space.”

Gu Lin liked this new friend very much, holding Qi Yuan’s hand tightly, saying, “Then how do I find you, Ah Yuan-didi?”

This one after another “Ah Yuan-didi,” Qi Yuan didn’t correct him, but he also didn’t acknowledge this title.

Compared to Gu Lin’s soft and waxy voice, Qi Yuan’s voice was clearer, like spring water striking jade, but it was more childlike.

He said, “We’ll meet again.”

Gu Lin nodded, his little appearance serious, his voice childish: “Mm-hmm, Ah Yuan-didi only has cub as a friend. If you can’t see cub, you’ll have no friends again.”

Qi Yuan: “…”
