Chapter 283: Time
After learning about the situation on their side from Samusa's mouth, he was just about to end the call, when Yang Xiaokai's afterglow suddenly caught a glimpse of Chihori's eyes, and he immediately stopped Samusa.
"Sister Sakisa, wait a minute. ”
"Huh, what's wrong?"
Yang Xiaokai looked directly into Chihori's eyes and said slowly: "Sister Saki Sasa, can you please use obsidian to help me treat my wounds? I don't want to drag down the whole team for my own reasons." ”
Seeing Yang Xiaokai say this, the corners of Chihori's mouth curled slightly, and her smile was very warm.
"I know, but it's so far away, I don't know if it can work, and it may not be completely cured, but it will be much better than you are now. Samusa's voice wasn't very sure, she hadn't tried it until now whether the black book was within a certain range or aimed at a certain person.
"Well, please. ”
A minute later, a green glow rose from under the bandage on her ankle, but it was fainter than when she was being treated next to Sakisa, as she said, distance weakened the healing effect, and it was hard to say if her obsidian would still work if she left the Stone City.
"Xiaokai, how's it going?" Samusa's voice sounded tired, it seemed that as the distance increased, she would expend more physical strength, and she was now pregnant, which was a bit too much to force her.
Yang Xiaokai took off the bandage, and the obvious pain had disappeared, but when he moved a lot, he still felt a sharp pain in his bones: "It's healed, in short, thank you Sister Samusa." By the way, it's hard to use obsidian at such a distance, right? ”
"I'll contact you again tomorrow, good night. ”
The voice of Samuzuo disappeared in his mind, and Yang Xiaokai also breathed a sigh of relief, now he was more and more concerned about the affairs of Xia Cheng.
If Xia Cheng saw Samusa's team, why didn't she greet them? Instead chose to hide the fact that she was still alive? Since she didn't do this, there were two reasons behind it, one was that she didn't see Samusa and the others, and went on a rampage with her team to the next hive, if that was the case, the situation would be much better.
Second, Xia Cheng saw Samusa, but did not return, but instead acted as a watchdog in a place she couldn't see, if this kind of thing happened, something must have changed in Xia Cheng's body, because the previous Xia Cheng would definitely not want to jump into the crowd that she hadn't seen for months.
"Xiaokai?"
"Hey, what's wrong with you. Chihori bumped Yang Xiaokai's ribs, and he came back to his senses.
"What's the matter?"
"Seeing what you just thought, what did Miss Sakisa tell you?" asked Chihori.
Yang Xiaokai shook his head: "It's nothing, they have already arrived in the center of the modern city, and we will speed up the pace tomorrow." How's Mio, is her injury okay?"
"You don't have to worry about this, no matter what, Mio is also a martial arts practitioner, because if that little injury collapses, it will damage the reputation of the Raiden family. ”
"I'm sorry, but I haven't done what I promised you. Yang Xiaokai looked into the distance ashamedly.
Chiho Li said indifferently: "There are still a few days left, right? We have made an appointment to meet in the last city in three days, and I believe that place will definitely become the tomb of Hanashima Taka." We have been preparing for half a year, and it is impossible to get nothing. ”
"Let's hope so. Although he said this, he still didn't have any news about Hua Dao's ability for half a year, and even the obsidian armament had never seen him use it.
"No, I can't. ”
"What do you mean?"
"That's not going to work, you don't even have confidence in yourself, you weren't like that when you discussed plans before. Chiho Li frowned slightly, and looked at Yang Xiaokai unpleasantly, "At that time, you were confident, just like you could solve Huadao immediately and effortlessly when the time came." What's the matter? In the past few months, you have become indecisive, not at all like the previous Yang Xiaokai. ”
Yang Xiaokai, who heard this, was shocked: "Eh, have I changed anything......
"It seems that you don't realize it for a while, even Mio has been telling me lately that you seem to be a different person than you were a few months ago, and I didn't believe it at first, but since I was convinced just now. ”
At this moment, Yang Xiaokai's thoughts were already chaotic, and he couldn't tell what Qianho Li meant by what he said.
"Miss new wife, let's not make any noise until the others rest. ”
"Why, you've always called me Miss Chiho Ri before, so it doesn't matter if you don't call me by my first name, but...... Why do you have to change back to the name we used to call when we first met? Don't you think it's too ruthless!" Chiho bit her lip tremblingly, with a look like she was about to cry.
"What the hell do I have to do to be satisfied......" Yang Xiaokai hung his head helplessly, he didn't know what medicine Chihori had taken wrong today, and why he kept holding on to this kind of problem.
"Why don't you understand? It's you who really needs to be satisfied. ”
"I ...... Yourself?" Yang Xiaokai fell into deep thought, constantly thinking about what she said.
The memories of the past flowed into the brain little by little, and after a few minutes, Yang Xiaokai did notice the changes in himself, his decisive assertiveness was slowly disappearing, and he was swayed by other people's factors, in order to take care of others, he was always forced to carry everything alone.
"Xiaokai, I won't force you to go back to the past, but at least don't take everything on yourself. ”
Looking at the back of Chiho Li in the distance, Yang Xiaokai looked up at the sky, the clear moonlight was held by the stars, and the night sky was like a star map under silk.
"What the hell is the sky?"
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out, until sleepiness drove him back to his room.
The next day, when Shamuzo contacted Yang Xiaokai, he had already set off with the team for more than half an hour.
"Understood, Sakisa-san, we'll take notice. ”
"Kai, what did Miss Sakisa say?" Sakuruma asked.
"We're almost at the Black Tower, one is to let us be careful of the nuclear-level creatures on the road, and the other is to tell us not to activate the console in the Black Tower, speaking of which, it seems that she hasn't fully figured out the relationship between the six beehives, if we can't figure this out, no matter how we unlock them, it won't help, and in the end we won't be able to go to the middle city. Yang Xiaokai opened the obsidian map, and almost everywhere they went, they could see the raised cliffs at the position of the horizon, exploring the terrain, to put it bluntly, they were just exploring the danger inside this stone city.
"Have they arrived too?"
"It's almost there, and it's expected to arrive a few hours before us. ”
"But why did Miss Samusa want us to reach the Black Tower at the same time?" said the ice chamber.
"Because as soon as someone enters the Black Tower, time stops in the whole world, except for the same inside the Black Tower. How long did you think it took me to get back from the Blacktower last time?"
"Hmm...... It seems like it's only five minutes. Ibaraki on the side estimated and said.
"But I actually stayed in there for about a couple of hours. ”
"How many hours?!" Ibaraki was shocked, he didn't even think that the Black Tower would trap people for hours.
"Once the console of the Black Tower is activated, time in the outside world will be restored, so I was activated that day ......" As soon as he said this, a thought suddenly flashed in Yang Xiaokai's mind, and the whole person paused.
"Hey, Brother Xiaokai, what's activating, why did you suddenly stop talking?"
"Kai?"
"Activate what?" Yang Xiaokai suddenly repeated one of Ibaraki's words, his eyes full of suspicion.
"Huh, that's the question I asked you, why did you ask me the other way around?"
"Brother Zhenyou, don't speak, he seems to have thought of something. Bing Fang blocked Ibaraki's mouth with his hand and looked at Yang Xiaokai, who was walking in front.
"Kai, did you think about something related to the hive?"
"Well, I didn't even think about it, thinking that activating the console would unlock the hive. At the end of the day, I don't know what I activated and unlocked that day......" Yang Xiaokai touched his chin and thought, but a whole day has passed since the matter of the Black Tower, and there are very few memories left.
"You said that time outside stopped when you entered the Black Tower, so could these clues have something to do with time?" Sakuruma said suddenly, but it was just a guess, and almost no one except Saki Sasa could follow this scattered clue to find out the true relationship between the six hives.
"Time, the next time Sakisa contacts me again, I'll try to ask her to think about it. ”
"Three days have already passed, which means that we must reach the Black Tower today, and then at least walk to the medieval city on the other side of the hive?" Gui Liang, who was walking in front, asked looking back.
"Well, that's it, so we don't have any time to delay. ”
The faster time passed, the more afraid Yang Xiaokai was to meet with another team, because when they met again, it was the time when the mystery of Stone City was revealed, and at the same time, it was also the moment of revenge of Chihori and Mio, which had been brewing for half a year, and if Xia Cheng also appeared at that time, the situation would be the worst.
"Is there no way...... Yang Xiaokai muttered to himself towards the sky.
This sentence seemed to be heard by Sakurama, and she also saw the anxiety in Yang Xiaokai's heart, these days he has become more and more restrained, as if there is something he doesn't want to happen.
"Kai, time will not stop, even if it stops, there will be a time to turn again, at that time, do you plan to face the next second, or are you bound in the stagnant time and space for a lifetime?"
