Raiden voice echoed repeatedly in the cave, but it was clear that Raiden would not receive a response.
Looking at the dense, red-glowing figures in the cave, Raiden face revealed a wicked smile...
Was this the bald man final preparation? If he destroyed these, would the bald man be afraid? Raiden really wanted to see what the bald man looked like when he was scared, wanted to see the bald man fleeing in panic before him, because that would excite Raiden.
As Raiden walked step by step into the cave with murderous intent, suddenly a breeze swept past behind him.
Raiden immediately turned around, but there was nothing behind him. Raiden shook his head in confusion, not knowing why he had been so sensitive just now, but it was a very strange feeling... very cold.
But when Raiden turned back, what he saw made him hesitate. Those red figures were gone, those glowing red shadows symbolizing life had disappeared.
"What's going on?" Raiden muttered softly. Could it be that in that instant, everyone had died? That's impossible...
The emptiness before his eyes made Raiden doubt himself, but the single figure still emitting a faint red glow in the distance strengthened Raiden resolve.
Was that the bald man? It must be the bald man!
Raiden walked resolutely towards it.
But suddenly, a hand grabbed Raiden foot! Raiden looked down to see a blood-covered figure gripping his ankle.
No sign of life?
Because in Raiden eyes, there was no red glow symbolizing life on this figure. Was it a zombie? Had the bald man gone this far? Raiden looked at the figure, waved his hand lightly, and a fireball flew from his fingertips, hitting the figure on the ground, sparks flying.
Raiden watched the figure on the ground turn to nothing, shook his head, and continued to move forward.
At this moment, that strange feeling appeared again.
Behind him, there was wind... someone? Raiden felt someone crouching on his back.
But when Raiden turned to look, there was nothing.
Was this Raiden hallucination? No, this wasn't a hallucination! Raiden felt someone whispering behind him, crouching on his back saying something...
"Are you lost?"
Lost? Heh, Raiden chuckled softly, flames burst out from his body, but didn't hit anything!
"Bald man? Is this your trick? I'm not lost, I'm walking on the most correct path. I will kill you, I know where you are!" Raiden said, turning his head towards the direction of the red figure, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
But before Raiden could take two steps in that direction, a hand suddenly grabbed his arm. When Raiden turned to look, everything had changed.
The cave was gone, replaced by a magnificent hall. This was a very luxurious house.
And in the center stood two people, Tony and Yinsen... they were smiling at Raiden in their suits.
"Hey, Raiden, where did you go? Got lost, huh? Why are you back so late!" Tony said, waving at Raiden.
Raiden was somewhat dazed, standing motionless in place like a wooden chicken, without any reaction.
"Uncle Raiden, come eat pizza!" Peter small figure bounced happily behind Tony and the others, excitedly calling out to Raiden.
"No... no? No!" Raiden shook his head, pointing at Tony and the others in front of him, muttering to himself.
"This is fake, Peter doesn't know Tony!"
Raiden was somewhat doubtful, but also spoke very firmly. The moment his words fell, everything in front of him instantly shattered, and what returned to Raiden's sight was still that cold cave.
How interesting, Raiden chuckled foolishly, turning around, but instantly, his expression became rigid.
A figure in a white dress stood before him, that figure was so petite, so familiar.
"Uncle Stone? Uncle Stone!" The girl face beamed with a happy smile as she ran towards Raiden with open arms.
"Lisa..." Raiden murmured as the girl embraced him. Even knowing this was fake, Raiden didn't have the courage to push away this small figure.
"Uncle Stone, Lisa is lost. Are you lost too?" Lisa soft voice said by Raiden ear.
"No, uncle is not lost" Raiden shook his head and said softly.
"Then where is uncle going?" Lisa asked innocently.
Raiden released Lisa, holding her small shoulders and said.
"Uncle doesn't know either." Raiden carefully looked at Lisa face, and as he looked, he couldn't help but shed tears.
Lisa looked at Raiden, letting out a laugh as clear as a stream.
"Then can uncle take me home? Lisa can't find her way home." Lisa finger pointed to the direction behind Raiden.
Raiden eyes were fixed tightly on Lisa face. How he wished he could engrave this smiling face, these bright eyes forever in his heart.
But gradually, blood stains appeared on Lisa face. From Lisa brow, fresh blood began to seep out uncontrollably. Raiden kept trying to wipe it off with his hands, but no matter how he wiped, he couldn't clean it.
Finally, Raiden gave up. He held Lisa body and wept loudly. As he cried, Lisa body turned into an illusion in Raiden arms.
Feeling the body gradually dissipating in his arms, Raiden heart also gradually hardened. He stood up and walked forward.
Along this path, memories began to surface. Everything dormant in Raiden memory began to revive. Those things hidden in the deepest recesses all presented themselves before Raiden eyes.
Raiden hand passed through the white mist beside him.
This was something very familiar - time?
Raiden walked through this long stretch of time, and suddenly he returned to the elder scroll world.
Night Mother, Greybeard... everything began to reshape.
They all tried to make Raiden walk on another path, but Raiden path was only one - the one beneath his feet.
In Raiden eyes, there was only one target, that figure in the distance, the figure that must pay the price.
When Raiden walked through a sea of death and wailing, when he broke free from a world of pain and darkness...
Raiden knelt on the ground, an executioner was raising his knife, ready to chop down on Raiden's head.
But amidst the raging flames, the executioner died, and the surrounding soldiers began to flee in panic.
Raiden stood up and looked at the one who had saved him... Alduin.
Alduin lowered his massive head, his eyes revealing a hint of mockery as he gazed at the weak mortal before him...
"Why aren't you afraid?" Alduin voice echoed in Raiden ears.
Raiden shook his head without responding to Alduin. Enraged, Alduin opened his mouth and swallowed Raiden whole.
At that moment, the world before Raiden eyes changed again. He was back in the cave, and in his vision, there was still only a figure glowing red, but that figure was now right in front of him!
Without hesitation, Raiden walked towards the figure. But to his disappointment, the figure was not the bald man.
The figure was Tony, Yinsen, Lisa, Alduin - it was everything Raiden had ever encountered.
The figure kept changing.
And finally... it turned into Raiden himself.
...
In another world, the real world, Raiden had already reached the depths of the cave.
Behind Raiden stood members of the Ten Rings, armed with weapons.
And in front of Raiden, two people smiled at him.
One was the bald man, his eyes full of mockery.
The other was a bearded man with West Asian features. His hands were covered in rings, and his eyes, as he looked at Raiden, were filled with desire!
