Chapter 14: Heartbeat, Jade Mask
Fall......
Fall......
Yingying's heart was full of unwillingness, and tears had already rushed out of her eyes, turning into blisters floating in the air.
The speed of the fall is getting faster and faster, and it is almost the end, Yingying looks up at the red sky illuminated by the fire, and her mood is like dead ashes at this time.
Suddenly, a pair of gentle arms caught her, powerful and gentle arms, as if they had met in a dream......
The scent of lilacs enveloped her and swept her nose as she opened her misty eyes and flashed long, dense eyelashes.
I saw a face wearing a jade mask, and I was looking down at myself.
A pair of gentle eyes shimmered like jewels under the mask, staring at Ying Ying calmly.
Ying Ying lay in the man's arms, staring at the man with motionless eyes, and the man staring at her motionlessly, and the two stared at each other for a long time.
Countless fires exploded in the air, crackling, and flames swayed in the air and fell, like a rain of fire, like a grand fireworks show.
Ying Ying stared at the jade masked man, and happened to see the fire falling from the sky behind him, and felt that this picture was so wonderful and dreamlike.
She was held in her arms by this person, but she did not feel afraid, but felt very relieved and calm.
At this moment, a ball of fire fell in the direction of Ying Ying and the man.
Before Ying Ying could speak, the man had stretched out his right hand and raised it to the sky, and the index finger of his right hand drew a circle in the air, and the clouds in the sky suddenly gathered, and in an instant, a fine rain fell.
The rain poured down the fire, extinguished Yingying's burning braids, and washed away the ashes and dust floating in the air.
Ying Ying's eyes widened, watching this person call the wind and rain in front of her like a fairy, as if she had seen a magician show when she was a child.
She felt that she must have died and come to a wonderful world like heaven.
Now that he was dead and there was nothing to be afraid of, she curiously chatted with the miraculous "magician" to see what he would perform next.
"You...... Have you seen enough?" the man wearing the jade mask finally spoke, his voice crisp and pleasant, and it penetrated into his heart.
Ying Ying didn't hear this, she still looked at his sparkling eyes in a daze, and in a trance remembered the male protagonist she loved very much, Kamen Rider, in her favorite manga "Sailor Moon".
Since this is heaven, is it possible that the people in the comics also exist?
Thinking of this, her cherry lips moved slightly, and she asked in a trance, "You...... Are you Kamen Rider?".
"Who is Kamen Rider?" the man asked.
Ying Ying didn't answer, at this moment she just wanted to lie quietly in the man's arms and enjoy the only warm and quiet moment of the day.
After a while, Ying Ying gradually became aware of her surroundings, and at the same time, her physical sensations began to recover.
When she sobered up a little, she suddenly found that she was being held by a strange tall man, and she was so frightened that she turned over violently and broke free from the man's embrace.
"You, who are you?" she asked vigilantly, her voice trembling slightly.
The rapid and violent fall just now brought a huge impact to her body, so her body secreted emergency dopamine.
It's like an anesthetic, making her feel less sensitive to all stimuli, like in a dream.
Now, that feeling faded, and Ying Ying returned to her normal senses, realizing that she was not in heaven, but in darkness.
She looked at the man in the mask in horror, and the face under the mask also looked at her, still calm.
Where did Ying Ying remember that the person actually saved her just now, but she took this person and that group of bad people as a group, and shouted loudly:
"What about my grandparents......? What have you done to them?
And Uncle Birdman, you let him go, it's none of his business!"
The jade mask was still staring at Ying Ying like a sculpture, and suddenly he pulled her into his broad and warm arms again.
"Let go of me!" Ying Ying struggled desperately, but the man's arm was so strong that she couldn't break free.
At this moment, an octagonal dart passed over Ying Ying's head, and the dart glowed with a brilliant blue light.
After the octagonal dart flew, the man let go and let Ying Ying out of his embrace.
Ying Ying turned around and was about to run away, but when she looked around, she couldn't help but gasp.
They were standing on a large rock in the middle of a large lake.
The lake is vast, misty and filled with moisture, as if immersed in milk.
Behind the mist, instead of a dark night, there were one, two, three...... Countless glittering red lights.
The sky was now overcast, and the moon was hiding in the thick clouds.
Yingying felt very wrong, the surroundings of the lake were quiet, a little strangely quiet.
The shore was dark with the shadows of the trees, and there were many ghostly eyes in the shadows, glowing faintly, as if they were watching the two of them's every move.
Ying Ying stopped and began to step back a little.
She pointed to the ghostly fire in the shadows of the trees and said, "So, what is that?"
"Ninja spiders. "Jade Mask" replied.
"What do you mean ...... 'Ninja Spider'?"
"Fuso's ancient biological weapon, with the super power of a spider, and the tactics of a ninja, I haven't seen it for a long time, but I didn't expect to encounter it here today. "Jade Mask" added.
His voice was calm, as if he had no fear of the scene, but like a learned scientist introducing some kind of insect.
Ying Ying was surprised when she heard this, she had only heard of ninjas before, and she was a killer who walked on the wall, wearing black clothes and covering her face.
But the combination of spider and ninja, she really can't imagine.
However, everything from this morning to the present is shaking her perception of the world in the past 17 years.
"Needless to say, these ninja spiders must have come to catch me, too. Ying Ying's heart was cold.
She looked wistfully at the man beside her, remembering the stone-throwing young man who had tried desperately to protect her tonight, and the strange-looking but kind Uncle Birdman, both of whom were ultimately dead.
And the person in front of you, is it going to be affected by me again?
Only then did she settle down to take a good look at this person.
I saw that he was wearing a green bamboo-colored robe, with a cherry-colored lining inlaid with pine needle patterns and silver edges, and a jade plaque hanging on his chest, carved with a pattern of a dragon playing in the water.
It is tall and long, standing like a green pine. He had long black hair and braided strips on each side of his head and gathered at the back of his head.
On his head he wears a mother-of-pearl crown inlaid with gold and precious stones.
Look at the half of his face exposed outside the mask, it was the most rigid and soft face she had ever seen.
Fang is like an inkstone's jawbone, a pointed chin, a nose as tall as a mountain, and gentle and resolute lips.
"He's so handsome, it's a pity that he's going to die here with me today......" Ying Ying thought to herself.
She couldn't help asking, "My name is Yan Yingying." What's your name?"
The man was stunned for a moment, surprised that Ying Ying would suddenly ask him.
Ying Ying said: "Grandpa said that meeting is fate, and if you meet, it will be a great fate."
Although we don't know each other, we are in the same situation today, and that is also fate.
Although I was scared and didn't want to die, I guess you were scared and didn't want to die too.
But we can at least keep each other company and not die alone......"
Speaking of this, her nose was sore, and she couldn't help but cry and cry.
"Jade Mask" looked curiously at the dusty, tattered girl and sobbed, crying louder and louder, and finally it became a howl.
For the first time, there was some panic in his calm eyes, and he hurriedly put his right palm on the girl's head and stroked it gently.
Ying Ying was touched by this, only to feel a warmth in her body, refreshed, and a courage in her heart.
She thought, I still have some strength, and after a while, those ninja spiders will come, and I will block them first, so that he can have time to escape.
Having made up her mind, she looked at the man and smiled suddenly.
The man saw that Ying Ying was actually smiling at himself at such a life-and-death juncture, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
At this time, countless fierce red lights around were gradually approaching, surrounding, and approaching.
"I'll delay them here first, and before it's too late, you can go!, don't die with me!" Ying Ying said to the man.
The man looked at Yingying, his expression was even more surprised, and his body did not move at all.
The blood-red light was about to move, getting closer and closer, and at this time, Ying Ying saw that the red light was not just eyes, they were demons with countless legs and countless mouths, black as ghosts!
"Come on, I'm not afraid!" shouted Yingying, knowing that she would die after all, but now she was no longer afraid, and was determined to fight the enemy to the death.
She leaned down to pick up a few rocks to spare, but there was not a grain of sand on the rocks.
Demons with several feet crawled on the surface of the lake, and there were pieces of melted broken ice floating on the surface of the lake, and they climbed up step by step on the ice.
The lake was suddenly densely covered with black pressed spiders, like a swarm of bees huddled in their nests.
Only then did Ying Ying see clearly that the spiders' feet were covered with blue burrs, and a demonic mouth with fangs like bamboo shoots, and they kept salivating outward, as if they had seen a sumptuous dinner.
At this time, a red-eyed spider saw that its prey was ready to move, and took the lead in pounceing on the rock where Yingying and they were.
Ying Ying mustered all her strength and kicked at the spider with the greatest strength in her life.
The kick hit the monster's head, and the red-eyed spider retreated in pain.
The "Jade Mask" stood aside, inactive, just silently observing Yingying's every move.
At this moment, another ninja spider crawled on the right side of the rock!
Ying Ying hurriedly ran over and kicked her leg again.
The spider was the size of a watermelon, but extremely light, and it was more strategic than the previous one, swinging its front legs to grab Yingying's ankles.
Ying Ying reacted extremely quickly, rolled diagonally to the ground, and hit the spider in the abdomen from below with a right hand punch.
Although she was thin and weak, her strength was great, and the punch just now was like a hammer, and the spider jumped off the rock in pain and dived back into the lake.
Before Ying Ying had time to be happy, she saw dozens of red-eyed spiders jumping towards the rocks!
She turned her head and yelled at the "jade mask" behind her, "Why are you leaving, what are you doing in a daze? Do you want to eat spiders with me?"
Just as she shouted, a spider jumped directly onto the back of the Jade Mask.
Ying Ying saw a shout of "ah", regardless of her own safety, and pounced.
"Let him go!" she grabbed one of the spider's legs desperately with both hands, trying to rip it off.
But she never expected that the spider's legs were glowing with blue light, soaked in poison!
Ying Ying's hands suddenly felt a piercing pain, and she immediately let go of her hands and pulled the spider's abdomen instead, but her hands had already been pricked by the stingers on the spider's legs.
Ying Ying took advantage of the last bit of consciousness and tried her last bit of strength to stretch out her arms to hold the spider's stomach and pull it away from the back of the "jade mask".
"I ...... I can't...... You, hurry, run, let's ......" Ying Ying staggered, took one last look at the "jade mask" in front of her, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.
"You, sure enough, it's her daughter......" The Jade Mask's eyes glowed with excitement, and he slowly stepped forward and picked up the collapsed Yingying.
Before she lost consciousness, Ying Ying felt her body rising high into the sky.
"Are you going to heaven this time?" she thought, and then fainted.
At this moment, the stone under her began to move, to the left, to the right, to the left, to the right, to the ground, and the stone actually rose into the air and left the surface of the lake!
It turned out that it was not a rock, but a huge water snake!
Ying Ying and the "Jade Mask" are standing on the back of the giant snake at this time!
The "jade mask" held Yingying, expressionless, and stood calmly on the back of the snake.
He blinked, and the water snakes immediately stood upright, transporting them to tens of meters into the air.
When the ghostly black monsters saw this, they rushed up desperately, jumping nimbly on the ice, crossing the surface of the lake, and surging towards the water snakes like a tide.
At this time, they were only a dozen meters away from where Ying Ying was, and the large army might have to arrive in a moment.
The "Jade Mask" stood on the snake, looking at the group of monsters with contempt.
Ten meters, eight meters, six meters, five meters...... The monsters are getting closer and closer, and the lake is densely packed with monsters, and it is difficult to tell the direction.
Four, three, two!
At this moment, the "jade mask" suddenly raised its right arm and stretched out to the sky, as if to take something from the clouds.
The clouds began to boil and roll like this, galloping like a fierce horse, thunder rolling, and suddenly many lightning bolts gathered in the sky.
The lightning came from all directions, along with the thunder, and gathered over his arm.
I saw that with a wave of his arm, the ten thousand thunderbolts and ten thousand lightning bolts converged into a huge electric shock wave.
With another wave of his arm, a giant wave of electric shock struck the monsters.
I saw a lot of thunder, wailing, those crazy black monsters were instantly knocked over by lightning, and the radio waves continued to spread, spreading across the entire lake.
It was as if a bomb dropped by a god, with Yingying as the center, a circular radio circle unfolded, and everywhere it went, all the monsters were burned to ashes.
Jade Mask looked at the corpses of the spiders, picked up a blue octagonal dart with a handkerchief, and whistled.
The serpent swam south with the man and the girl, disappearing into the lost moonlight......
