Just as Chu Cige was feeling bewildered, the scene before her eyes shifted, the surrounding rituals disappeared, and a group of little Na'vi appeared in the open space. Each of them held a wooden weapon and practiced in pairs in the open space.

Not far away, a small figure was hiding in the shadows, peeking at the little Nami who was practicing in the arena. She was short but beautiful, with a delicate face and golden eyes full of longing.

Chu Cige quietly approached her and silently observed her small figure.

If he wasn't mistaken, everything here might be a memory deep within Nettini's consciousness, and he didn't know why he had entered this place.

And the little Na'vi hiding behind the tree and peeking is what Neytiri looked like when she was a child.

According to the research of the Ironbloods, even if the Na'vi themselves are mentally linked, it is impossible for them to see the memories stored deep in the subconscious of the other party clearly.

Chu Cige suspects that this situation is related to the drug she injected into Nettini...

Little Nettini longed to be like her peers, to play together, practice, and run freely and carefree in the forest.

But her father not only restricted her movements, but also forbade her to play with other children. Every time she was caught, he would scold her severely and drive away her friends who were playing with her. Over time, she had no peers around her.

Today was no exception. After running away from home, she wanted to find her friends to play in the forest, but they not only avoided her from a distance, but also wouldn't let her get close.

She could only hide behind a tree, watching the others practice, her heart filled with envy.

Little Nettini didn't understand why her father did this. Her little head was full of questions and confusion. Sometimes, when she was alone at home, she would ask her mother, but she never got the answer she wanted...

In the sparring arena, after knocking down his opponent, Nek glanced over and noticed the timid little Netini hiding behind a tree.

For some reason, he felt a pang of pity, and an idea popped into his head: to invite her to join him in the sparring session.

He did just that, taking a step towards little Nettini, but before he could take a few steps, his companion stopped him, whispering something in his ear that made him hesitate...

Little Neytini naturally saw this scene. She hoped someone would invite her to join them, but when she saw Nek's hesitant figure, her heart sank.

Disappointment crossed his face, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Just then, a voice came from behind: "You're so young and you're already frowning. You won't be good-looking when you grow up."

"Who?" Little Nettini exclaimed.

When?

She didn't even notice someone approaching. If this person had any ill intentions towards her, she would be doomed.

Little Nettini turned around and saw a tall, dark figure standing quietly beside her. She hadn't even noticed him if he hadn't spoken earlier.

Little Nettini looked him up and down and found that the figure was like a shadow, all black except for the eyes which were a bright red. It was really hard to spot him when he was standing in the shadows.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"I..." He didn't know how to answer for a moment, until he caught a glimpse of his shadow on the ground out of the corner of his eye. "I am a shadow."

"A shadow?" Little Nettini tilted her head to confirm.

"Yes! Shadow," he said again, "I am the lonely shadow within your heart. I couldn't bear to see you all alone, so I stepped out of the shadows and appeared before you."

She was stunned. She never expected this answer. Could a shadow really emerge from the darkness?

Little Nettini looked down at her shadow on the ground, then looked up at Chu Cige, a sense of absurdity welling up inside her.

"Then why are you here now?" Although she didn't understand the reason, Nettini didn't think too much about it, after all, she was still a child.

"I am a shadow born from the loneliness deep within your heart, so naturally I need to accompany you to get rid of loneliness." Chu Cige decided to try something new, since this place was composed of Nettini's subconscious.

Then he could use this to transform Nettini into his entire being, making her unable to leave him.

Upon hearing this, a hopeful glint flashed in little Nettini's eyes, and her voice noticeably rose an octave: "Then can you play with me?"

She didn't understand what loneliness was; she just hated being alone all the time. That feeling of emptiness and loneliness constantly surrounded her, making it hard for her to breathe.

"certainly!"

Plans are in place!!!

"That's wonderful!" Little Nettini almost jumped for joy. She stepped forward and grabbed his large hand. Although it was ice-cold to the touch, she felt an unusual warmth deep inside.

"Yes! That's great..."

The figure of Nek in the distance was slightly thinner, but to the naked eye there was no difference. He stared at Netini, who had disappeared into the darkness behind the big tree, and continued his sparring at the reminder of his companion.

Logically speaking, this place is located deep within Nettini's consciousness, and Chu Cige, as an outsider, should not have the ability to make any changes.

But the truth is quite the opposite. He not only altered the original subconscious memories and added his own shadow, but also accompanied little Nettini to do all sorts of things she would never have dared to do before.

For example, hunting, a deep-seated obsession that she had developed since childhood under her father's influence, underwent a transformation under his guidance.

Ending a vibrant life with her own hands, watching her prey's agonizing cries before death, little Nettini felt a pang of unease for some reason.

It was as if she had broken something important, a feeling that was even more unsettling than when she was crying alone in the dark.

But after a hug and a few words of comfort from him, that feeling gradually disappeared, replaced by a sense of pride, control, and excitement.

This feeling intoxicated her, and she couldn't resist it...

outside world.

On the clean, soft bed.

Nettini finally got what she wanted. She completed the final transformation of her coming-of-age ceremony. A glint of clarity flashed in her golden eyes as she glared fiercely at the dark monster.

It was him who took away what was most important to me. Although I did it willingly, it was entirely due to the effects of the drugs, not my own will.

But this clarity didn't last long, as it was consumed by the raging fire of desire, and a hazy look returned to his eyes, causing his body to move involuntarily.

A tear rolled down her delicate face, tracing a graceful arc before landing on him.

But Chu Cige's consciousness is currently trapped in her subconscious, and he can no longer see this incredibly beautiful scene...

Since completing her transformation, Little Nettini has trusted him more and more, spending most of her time with him except when she goes back to sleep at night.

The two explored the entire illusory space of consciousness, leaving behind traces of their playful antics in every corner.

As time passed, the figures of the other Na'vi were gradually replaced by a figure with a completely black body and scarlet eyes. Their bodies slowly faded until they became transparent shadows...
