第6章

“黑塔耸立，迷途者归？”我心头猛地一跳。这句 and the one on the black card are too similar! “伯伯，你说的 black tower… Is there a black tower near here?”

老伯 looked at me with a surprised expression, then shook his head. “No, there's no physical black tower around here. It's from a very old prophecy or legend. Some say it represents a place, some say it represents an event, or even a time. Nobody really knows for sure.”

And then he said something that really sent chills down my spine: “Some also say, the black tower only appears to the ‘迷途者’… those who have lost their way, or are about to lose their way, in this world or another.”

迷途者… 黑塔… 我的梦境… 黑色的卡片… 这一切都开始在我的脑海里串联起来。一种不祥的预感笼罩了我。难道我来神木镇，并不是偶然？

接下来的几天，我开始投入 project 的工作。 Project group 的氛围很 friendly and professional. 大家都在各自的领域努力着。我的主要工作是协助搭建 VR 场景的框架 and writing some rendering code. The work was interesting and challenging.

我 try my best to focus on the job, and distract myself from the strange incidents and the unsettling legends. But my dreams continued, the black tower loomed larger and larger, and the low whispers in my ears became more frequent and slightly clearer. I could sometimes catch fragments of words, like "sacrifice", "path", "awakening".
