Chapter 4: The Lament of the Aria
-- After a brief exchange. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As they imagined, Liulu and Xinyin had indeed encountered a lot of hardships in the past. The two have been orphans since they were children, and they have been living in an orphanage, although they are not wealthy, but they are content. But as Xinyin grew up, her appearance became more and more beautiful day by day, which aroused the coveting of many people. Under pressure, they had to get out of the house, and finally had the place they have now.
Although he didn't ask out of politeness, it could be seen that Xinyin's health was not good, and her unusually pale face and room full of medicinal smell undoubtedly emphasized this point. Even though she smiled and said that it was a minor problem, the sharp-eyed Xi Yan still saw the hands of Liulu who was sitting next to her that they were clenched so hard that they turned blue.
Regarding the sudden involvement in this incident, Liulu and Xinyin didn't have any special information in their mouths, and the general situation was similar to that of Sunset. However, judging from their demeanor, the two did not resist this new world, and compared with the hardships they had encountered in reality, they preferred this comfortable place with a beautiful environment and no one to disturb them.
Of course, Xiyan also asked Liulu and Xinyin if they wanted to go on an adventure together, but both of them shook their heads, saying that they didn't want to leave here. It's a pity, but it's not too reluctant. I always feel that it is a very sinful thing to disturb their peaceful life.
Seeing no more useful information, the four of them prepared to get up and leave. But as soon as he stood up, a cry of hunger came from the stomach of the setting wind. After all, this is not really a game world, and you will be hungry and need to eat to satisfy your hunger. So Xinyin smiled and asked them to stay and eat before leaving.
Because he usually cooks in Liulu, he asked Xiyan to help together, Huaqi and Xitong were responsible for chatting with Xinyin, and Xifeng was resting on the sofa, after all, he was the one who was wrapped on his back.
To be honest, Xi Yan was still taken aback when she saw the stove. There is a large pot on the top, a brick cube on the bottom, the front is left empty as a chimney, and the back is left as a stove eye for adding firewood. This ultra-old-fashioned cooking tool is a rarity.
...
That one... Is Xinyin your girlfriend?
Sitting in front of the stove, Xi Yan suddenly asked with firewood in his hand, and the burning flames illuminated his face red.
glanced at Xi Yan lightly, Liulu smiled bitterly, and said: I just treat her as a sister.
Although it sounds like a wrong answer, the meaning expressed in the words is obvious.
Xi Yan stopped talking after a sigh, only the dry firewood crackled and burned more and more.
Xinyin is no longer qualified to be taken care of.
Holding the steaming dish, as he left the kitchen, Ryulu said in a heavy tone.
In this regard, Xi Yan showed a rather surprised expression, probably because he didn't expect Liulu to tell him about Xinyin. As if he understood something, and as if he didn't understand anything, he got up and walked out.
After a while, the six of them crowded into the patchwork table and feasted. I have to say that Liulu's cooking skills are very good and have been unanimously appreciated by everyone. As the old saying goes, it's not at all wrong that a child from a poor family is in charge at an early age.
But this pleasant atmosphere did not last long, Xinyin suddenly covered her chest, with a hideous look of pain on her face, and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the floor with a snap.
Yinyin, you...
Before Liulu's words were finished, Xinyin fell to the ground and fell to the ground in the sight of everyone, unconscious.
Xinyin!
What's wrong with her?
However, Liulu ignored Xi Yan's inquiry, picked up Xinyin, and walked to the sofa. There was not only anxiety on his face, but also a deep fear.
How is her HP decreasing?!
Xi Hitomi's words undoubtedly smashed into Xi Yan's heart like a bombshell. When he fixed his gaze, yes, the HP slot on the top of Xinyin's head was decreasing rapidly, decreasing at the speed seen by the naked eye, Xi Yan's brain boomed, and the purple of the crisis in his eyes was so clear!
Shut up!
Staring at the sunset pupil with a sharp gaze, Liulu snorted coldly.
The Oracle of Guardian Truth! Treat!
Seriously, the worry in Liulu's eyes was stronger than everyone present. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. With the chanting of the skill, he tapped the deadwood staff in his hand, the white robe raised without wind, and the essence of the light overflowed from the top of the staff, layer by layer, like an outlined magic array. Then, under the determination of the target of the application, these rays of light seemed to have an autonomous consciousness, and quickly surged towards Xinyin's body, replenishing her lost HP.
Fortunately, the rate at which HP increases is almost the same as the rate at which it decreases, and is slightly redundant. Xinyin's life was slowly picking up, and even her face in a coma was much soothed.
Seeing this, Xifeng, Huaqi, and Xitong all exhaled, and they were really frightened by the sudden situation just now. But only the solemnity on Xi Yan's face did not disappear, and it became more and more profound, he glanced at the flow law in the casting skill, and said silently: How long does your skill last?
Yes, it's the skill duration. The crisis has not been lifted, and the reduction of Xinyin's HP has not disappeared, and now it is only with the help of external forces that it has not been manifested. Otherwise, according to the skills of the flow rhythm, Xinyin's HP should have been replenished a long time ago, instead of rising little by little like now.
Turning his head to look at Xi Yan deeply, the corners of Liulu's mouth showed a silent sigh, and after a short silence, his personal skill interface was announced in front of everyone.
Oracle of Guardian Truth: The Guardian of Rites transforms the power of protection into the power of protection with the powerful enthusiasm of the heart, and heals those who want to protect it. The effect of the treatment is related to the intensity of the thoughts. Initial duration: 90 seconds! Cooldown: Unknown!
The unconventional skill description made everyone stunned for a while. But the duration of ninety seconds was undoubtedly bad news, and Xiyan couldn't imagine what would happen to Xinyin's fate when this last time passed. Judging from the previous HP reduction, the unknown skill CD will definitely not support the next skill cast.
Although he forced himself not to think about it, at the beginning, Sunset Wind was besieged by three bloodthirsty giant wolves tearing silver claws, and his HP once dropped to purple. Xi Yan had to think about what would happen if the HP was cleared in this world, whether it would be resurrected after experiencing death punishment in the game, or death in the real sense!
I don't dare to think about it, I can't think about it, but I have to think about it, this question is really too cruel and too frightening.
...
I'm ... Fainted?
The gentle whispering, like the best natural sound, resounded abruptly in everyone's ears.
Xinyin blinked her eyebrows, opened her slightly dim eyes, looked at everyone and said, her voice was as gentle as ever.
Great, you're awake!
Xi Tong leaned over and said in surprise. Not only her, but everyone else was happy, and the surging emotions in their chests were slightly calmer.
Well, I'm fine.
Smiling in response, Xinyin turned her gaze to Liuyu, as if giving him a reassuring and determined look. But how can it be reassuring, the skill casting of the flow law is still continuing, and the duration of ninety seconds is so short for a life.
There are some things that only the two of them know, just as Liulu said to Xi Yan before, Xinyin, she is no longer qualified to be taken care of, this sentence may become a reality in a moment. Even if you hold on hard, hold on for a long time, the inevitable will come eventually.
Law...
Affectionate murmurs echoed through the humble room.
Let's go out first, and let Liulu have a good chat with Xinyin.
Hua Qi shook his head inexplicably, showing an expression that seemed to understand everything, and spoke.
But...
Xi Yan responded with a slight resistance.
Get out!
slapped Xi Yan on the head, and Xi Feng scolded irritably. Because I am an adult, I have experienced more things, so in the face of this kind of scene, the sourness in my heart will only get worse.
Finally, she turned her head to look at Xin Yin who was lying on the sofa, and Xi Yan clearly saw the state of the two blood-red characters that appeared under her HP trough. While simply turning his head, Xi Yan's eyes flowed with a crystal that he couldn't bear anymore, and fell into an extreme arc.
In the end, the empty room was left with the figures of Liulu and Xinyin.
Lil, do you remember?
What the?
Xinyin shrank her head shyly, and then seemed to have made up her mind, and said with a crimson and delicate face: When I was a child, I said that I would marry you when I grew up.
Have it?
Hearing the words, Liulu showed a hint of unnatural expression, but quickly disappeared and responded with a dry smile.
Of course!
Xinyin said with a huff, her gaze suddenly became strong and powerful, and she looked closely at Liuyu. In the end, Liulu looked away first, and said in a low tone: I have always treated you as a sister!
Oh...
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, as if the sea had suddenly subsided and turned into a pool of stagnant water. The remaining glimmer of light in Xinyin's eyes was silently dark, and at this moment, the duration of the deadly ninety seconds skill quietly stopped... There is no superfluous moment, and there is no movement in the unknown skill CD, and there is nothing in the miracle god. Because that's the reality!
Like the state of the character with bad news of death, without the interference of external forces, it rags to its heart's content, and Xinyin's HP decreases rapidly again. At one point, her face was covered in pain, and the corners of her mouth were wheezing, and she groaned hideously.
Yinyin~~!
Liulu shouted Xinyin's name in a panic, crouched down, and held her hands as her eyes met. In his original real life, he sincerely prayed for a miracle many times, hoping that fate would favor him and Xinyin. When he was orphaned, he prayed; When Xinyin was harassed, he prayed; When the two left the orphanage with nowhere to stay, he prayed; When he first found out about Xinyin's condition, he prayed even more; And now, too, he is praying; Because of his own weakness and powerlessness, he pinned his hopes on empty hopes.
But fate never favored him, not even at this moment. The reality is still cruel to him.
Even if she hid and cried secretly, she wouldn't let Xinyin see the rhythm of her tears, and for the first time in front of the person she wanted to protect, she cried, and the emotions that she had suppressed for too long couldn't cry for a moment.
Lil, I don't want to be your sister.
I've always fantasized that one day, I would fulfill my childhood wish.
I will marry you and then work together to create a home for both of us.
But what... Fate seems to be a bit cruel to me. Hee-hee~
Suffering from an incurable illness makes everything really a fantasy.
But I don't regret it, because I was born, because I was orphaned, that's why I met you.
So I don't want to be your sister at all, because... I really like you!
One word, one word, Xinyin struggled to finish the words that had been hidden for a long time. At this time, she vented her last confession to the fullest. Even if the HP has turned purple, even if the life is about to end. She still tries very hard and is honest with herself.
I'm sorry... I'm sorry.
Tears were hazy, and the only thing Liulu could do was to say these three words like crazy. He suddenly understood the explanation of his skill: to turn the powerful enthusiasm in his heart into the power of protection, and heal those who want to protect. The effect of the treatment is related to the intensity of the thoughts. Initial duration: 90 seconds! Cooldown: Unknown!
The healing effect related to the intensity of the thoughts, the so-called initial duration of ninety seconds, and the unknown cooldown. If he can have a stronger affection for Xinyin, then he will definitely be able to save her. But he couldn't, precisely because his heart was not so pure and complete.
I hear you, your heart.
Xinyin leaned her head in Liulu's arms, closed her eyes and listened, with a warm smile on her face, and said: This time, I heard that your heart was saying: I like you.
Hee-hee~ I'm satisfied...
...
In the final chapter of the story, Xinyin smiled lightly in the last whisper, in the arms of Liulu, turning into a little green light, and slowly passed.
Next time, don't let me be your sister, okay?
The dead room was left with only the rhythm of hissing and crying, and the pure white feather in his hand that was defiled with black mangs: the pure feather of sin.
When they re-entered the room, they saw the rhythm of the living dead.
Xiyan made a life-long decision in her heart!
