Looking at Zhao Yun's eyes, Chen Xiaolian's heart suddenly trembled.

He remembered the tone in which Mr. Umbrella had spoken to him of these things—

"When you do that, you remember, go back and find some wax, put this wick in it, and light it — keep it on, keep it burning.

I don't know how long it will burn, but I'll just let it keep burning.

I think that compared to my gift to you, I believe you will not refuse to ask you to do such a small favor, just to consume some candles.

Right?"

At that time, both of them could only talk through the flame of the light, and although they could see each other's faces, they could not see their expressions or eyes.

And at that time, Chen Xiaolian had most of his mind on how to break the wall and leave the strange painting.

But now that I think about it in hindsight, Mr. Umbrella's tone is very strange!

When he said these words, the feeling he left for Chen Xiaolian was sadness, regret, and desolation.

When Chen Xiaolian raised his head again, he saw that Zhao Yun had turned into a small black dot in the same place.

Even if there is something in my heart that I want to ask her, I don't have a chance to speak again at this moment.

However, Chen Xiaolian had already made up his mind and would never ask any of them.

Since neither of them intends to mention it again, then ...... Whatever happens between them, let it just pass.

"Mr. Blue Ocean, how are you doing now?"

Chen Xiaolian turned around and looked at the blue sea that had been sitting on the ground with his eyes closed.

"It's been restored. Lan Hai stood up, moved his hands and feet, and nodded: "If you fight, there shouldn't be any big problem." What about you?"

"I've been injected with a fortifying potion before, and the basic properties can be slowly restored over time. However, the current situation has only returned to about half of the normal state, and it must be too late to recover all before leaving. Moreover, it seems that the power left by the Heavenly Sword is also lost forever, and it will never be recovered. Chen Xiaolian sighed: "But...... At least I got this. ”

He patted the stone sword on his waist: "When necessary, I can temporarily return to the state of my heyday, but unfortunately the duration of this skill is only fifteen minutes." It should not be used indiscriminately unless it is absolutely necessary. ”

"That's what you did in exchange for letting that kid go back first?"

"Of course not. Chen Xiaolian smiled and shook his head: "Since doing this will not lead to you being wiped out, then even if you don't have this sword, I will still propose to let Duoduo go back first." ”

"Actually, even if you don't let the end of the world refresh again, you shouldn't have sent him away first. In this way, your risk has become much higher, don't you care at all?"

"Risk?" Chen Xiaolian frowned: "What risk?"

Lan Hai said lightly: "From a taxi that beckons to go, to a subway that has to wait on time for the subway to depart, it's always a lot of trouble." Especially...... When you know there will be pursuers behind you. ”

Chen Xiaolianqiang laughed: "I didn't understand what you were saying, Mr. Lan Hai." ”

"Alright, I know you're here to appease me. But it's not really necessary. Lan Hai smiled indifferently: "When communicating with your companions through Duoduo, you asked them to tell a person named Luo Di not to resurrect you in advance, and not to spend points to extend your stay here. When the initial time is over, the score of the hymn to life is activated. I remember correctly, right?"

“...... That's right. ”

"And as you mentioned earlier, you can't recover completely until you go back. The two corroborate and illustrate that the time when you go back is fixed and unchangeable, right?"

Chen Xiaolian sighed and did not answer.

"And when you found out that you could contact your real-world companions through Toto, you had the idea of changing your plans. Lan Hai ignored Chen Xiaolian's silence and continued: "The time you originally stayed here was fixed, just because it was not you who determined your stay time, but that Luo Di. And this is the world of the dead, and you have no way to keep in touch with your companions after death, so you can only agree on a time. But once you have the ability to communicate with them, you can choose when you want to leave.

But now, you've chosen to send Toto back, which means you're stuck with your original plan. And you can't pinpoint the time you found Jojo at the moment of return. So—whether you don't find Jojo before that time to leave, or if you find Jojo and then get hunted down, your rescue plan may fail.

Am I right, Chen Xiaolian?"

Chen Xiaolian listened to Lan Hai's eloquent words, but there was no embarrassment on his face, but a smile appeared little by little.

It wasn't until Lan Hai finished speaking that he laughed: "Mr. Lan Hai, although you have lost all your abilities and memories as an Awakened One, you ...... The Blue Ocean of Wisdom is indeed worthy of the Blue Ocean of Wisdom! I can deduce all this from just a few words of mine, which really impresses me. ”

"So, I want to know why you decided that. Lan Hai also smiled.

"It's simple. Chen Xiaolian shrugged his shoulders: "I did an experiment before and confirmed my guess. Although Duoduo would not be harmed when the light was turned on, she could not move freely at the same time. Her range of activity in this state is affected by the main light in the real world, and she can only act where the light shines. This means that moving and protecting yourself can only do the same thing at the same time. Whether it is following you or Sister Yun, it is too dangerous for him. ”

"Send Duoduo away in advance, aren't you afraid that she will backtrack?" Lan Hai looked at Chen Xiaolian calmly.

Chen Xiaolian shook his head: "I believe in her." ”

"Why?"

Chen Xiaolian smiled calmly: "No why." I just believe in her. ”

The two looked at each other quietly for a moment, and Lan Hai also laughed: "Old Qiao's daughter, it's not bad to pick a man's eye, follow her father." ”

He looked up into the distance, but there was still no movement, so he simply sat down again: "While the ban has not been lifted, tell me about it." ”

"Say what?"

"A few of us. Lan Hai's eyes looked into the distance: "Old Qiao, Cui Yunyan, and Liang Feng." As you said, the four of us formed a team. And then what?"

"I actually...... I don't know much about your team. Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly, and also sat down opposite the blue sea: "Of the four of you, I have only seen three. It's called Thunderbolt, I've never seen it before. Jojo's dad died early, I mean, as the Awoken. ”

"In other words, he has been refreshed into an ordinary person?" Lan Hai nodded.

"Yes. Still, he's doing well. Chen Xiaolian smiled: "You went back to find him, told him the truth of everything, and helped him establish a huge estate in the world and become your agent." After all, even if you are an awakened person, you have to eat, drink, and enjoy it.

As for the Heavenly Sword, he disappeared many years ago, and you have not found him. And without him, the only S-rank master in the team, your team is beginning to decline. It wasn't until later that I found him by some serendipity, but by then, he was dying.

Before he died, he gave me his power, and with my hand, he helped your Sword Mountain Fire Sea team relieve a crisis, which is the power you used when you saw me fighting with the vultures before.

And the thunderbolt ...... very early"

Chen Xiaolian glanced at the blue ocean with some embarrassment: "The door has broken from the sword mountain and the sea of fire." ”

"Why?" Lan Hai frowned.

"First, there is a conflict with Jojo's father. He has been ...... outside after Jojo's mother died Well, play fiercely, and even have an illegitimate daughter. Second, you told me that since Tiandao left, she couldn't get used to seeing you work hard to endure compromises everywhere in order to support the team, and she was even more unwilling to keep her head in obscurity, and finally ran away in a negative mood. It's just that not many people know about it. ”

Lan Hai sighed, bowed his head and remained silent.

After a long time, he began to talk and said lightly: "In that case, the four of us will be completely dispersed." Now that I'm dead, isn't there no one to support that sword mountain and sea of fire?"

Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "Even Zero City has been destroyed, and the sword mountain is in flames...... Is it any difference if you don't have support?"

Lan Hai sighed and didn't speak again.

At this moment, from the other side of the mountain, there was a loud bang.
