Chapter Twenty-Seven: Fireflies Warm Night
Am I ...... Is it destined to leave this world in this way?
Over and over again, falling over and over again, what is this sense of fear that rises from the bottom of an empty heart?
It infects the blood, penetrates the cells, penetrates deep into the bone marrow, and reaches the soul.
Gu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, how many times did she fall from a height?
Speaking of which, the first time was when I returned to the classroom for the first time after my death, and I was looking at Xu Xinyang at the time, but I was suddenly swept out by the wind blowing from nowhere!
And the second time was ...... in the tower in the north of the Nonsense Tree Forest
At this time...... What the hell was I thinking?
Gu Xiaoxiao actually wanted to laugh.
Suddenly, there was a tingling sensation in the head, as if countless sharp arrows had pierced every nerve.
The vague figure and the piercing laughter compose a light elegy of controlling life and death......
"Hey, Gu Xiaoxiao, I've seen enough of you......"
"You hurry up and give me the ...... to disappear from the whole world"
The whole picture is burgundy, and the figures are in a trance, and there is a terrifying chaos......
It's terrifying, the man is approaching him......
"Hey, Gu Xiaoxiao!"
The delicate figure is walking towards him......
"Wake up! Gu Xiaoxiao! ”
Two hands came at him, slender, red to black, dripping blood......
It's terrifying, there's a force that's pushing me to hell!
"Wake up, Gu Xiaoxiao! Wake me up! ”
"Ahh In the pale eyes, the slightly sparse purple became no longer illusory and desolate because of the blood red reflected in them.
"Ahh Yes! "The thin body trembled uncontrollably, as if suffering from a terrible illness that would turn into dirt and peel off.
"Tiny, tiny, calm down!" The anxious voice lost its usual coldness.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! The little hands gripped his cheeks tightly, completely ignoring the striking marks left on his face by the hard nails.
"Don't do this, little, don't hurt yourself!" The strong big hand stops the little hand that is crazy and masochistic, "You look at me!" Little! Look me in the eye! "Trying to make the little ones who are caught in endless madness look at themselves.
"Ah...... Alpha ...... "Xiao raised his arm and reached out to touch the person in front of him who was worried about him, his cheeks and skin were so tangible, very soft and warm.
"I'm here, Tiny." Afa's gaze softened, and he stretched out his left hand and touched the hand that touched him slightly.
"Alpha...... Alpha ...... Alpha ...... Afa ...... tears welled up from the corners of his eyes, his face gradually blurred, and he was worried that the qiē in front of him would disappear, so he could only keep calling and calling the person in front of him, "Afa!" Alpha! Alpha! The little two hands clutched the shirt on Alpha's chest, trembling all over.
"It's okay, Xiaoxiao, it's okay already." Alpha held the frightened little little in his arms, he reached out on the top of the little one's head and stroked it back and forth, closing his eyes, "I'm here, I'm right next to you." ”

At this moment, on the roof, in front of the railing, two people were leaning over to look at the figures hugging each other downstairs, and at the same time they chose not to disturb.
"Hey!" The coquettish voice called out to the tall figure who was turning to leave.
"What, witch?" The cold tone loses its laziness.
"Hey, why do you call it that?" Luo Lili pursed her delicate red lips.
"Humph!"
"Okay, don't worry about the little girl."
"Little woman? You? ”
"Okay, okay, I have something to tell you!" Luo Lili looked at Xu Xinyang with a smile, "The two of us don't have the same purpose, right?" ”
"I don't think so."
"Let's make a deal! Let's not get in the way of each other, I don't attack your prey, and you don't touch my prey, how about it? ”
"Now, can we get in the way?" Xu Xinyang glanced at the direction outside the railing, and there was something in his words.
Luo Lili was silent, looking into the distance of the gray sky for a long time.

Ah Fa carried Gu Xiaoxiao back to the weedy field, and Xiaoxiao refused to let go of his hand all the way, allowing himself to be buried in Ah Fa's arms.
The shirt on his chest was crumpled, but Alpha didn't care. Although he wanted to light the bonfire, Xiaoxiao remained motionless in his arms, and he couldn't bear to touch her and push her away, just for a few seconds. Because he knew that she needed his arms so much at this moment.
Afa made a quick decision, he hugged Gu Xiaoxiao, got up and walked towards the depths of the birch forest.
The cold wind howled uncontrollably, the leaves shouted in a frantic rhythm, and the surroundings were full of ghosts and wolves.
"Hmm......" Xiao Xiao couldn't help but sigh and curled up in Afa 's arms.
Alpha felt something strange in his arms, and he narrowed his eyes angrily, but he didn't stop his heavy steps.
Suddenly, a mysterious force suppressed the commotion that entwined the two, and all obstacles were destroyed, and they disappeared in an instant.
However, neither of them noticed that this powerful power that was enough to turn the clouds and rain only came from Alpha's changing gaze for a moment.
The thick fog descended, and it hit Alpha's hand.
With Xiaoxiao in their arms, the two of them walked through the smoke and left the Babel campus for another realm.
It's hot, there's a warm smell that envelops the little feet.
Xiaoxiao raised her head from Affa's arms and looked around, only to see that the sky above the two of them at this moment was a faint inky blue, and the soft starlight was scattered at will, without a trace of elegance.
"Alpha." Xiaoxiao calmed down and said that the first thing he said was indeed these two words.
"Shh Alpha held out his index finger and put it to his little mouth.
"Yes." The little obedient obediently, she leaned on Afa's shoulders, wrapped her two arms around Afa's neck, her face was tightly pressed against Afa's body, and her eyes were closed very reassuringly.
Xiao Xiao could feel his body moving forward, then gradually trending downward, and then his feet were kissed by the warm liquid.
She opened her eyes and found that Alpha had carried her into a clear spring.
It is a small spring, the water of the lake is clear and clear, but it is warm. Xiao Xiao looked down and could see the clear appearance of the bottom of the lake.
Alpha put Xiaoxiao down, but still put his arms around Xiaoxiao, supporting her body.
The laceration wounds on both feet should have been more painful when they met the water, but unexpectedly they didn't, but the wounds gradually healed in the water, leaving no scars.
"Is this ......," asked Xiao Xiao in surprise.
"Fountain of Fireflies." Alpha pulled Xiaoxiao into his arms, stretched out his left hand and lifted Xiaoxiao's lowered head, making her look at him.
At this moment, a pair of blood-red eyes were shining in front of her, and strangely enough, she was not afraid. The ghostly color made her breathe sluggish, because she saw that there was no room for anything else in these eyes but herself.
"Fireflies?" Xiao Xiao surrendered in tenderness like water, and said dumbfoundedly.
"Yes." When the words fell, Alpha snapped his fingers, and suddenly a breeze blew, and countless fluorescent lights rose on the surface of the lake, and a small light slowly rose towards the sky, and the floating halo, filled with the slight drunkenness of the night, circled around Xiaoxiao and Alpha.
"It's so beautiful!" Xiao Xiao stretched out a finger to make a ball of light stay on it, and looked closely, "It's not a firefly." ”
"Do you want to see fireflies?"
"Well, I've never seen one."
Alpha snapped his fingers again, and saw dense light flashing among the dense trees that grew around the clear spring, fluttering in the wind and shining at night.
"This is the firefly you want." Alpha whispered softly in his small ear.
The warm breath tickled her little ears, she shrunk her neck, she felt her face burn badly, she didn't dare to look at Alpha, her eyes tried to stay on the shining light, but her heart had long been lost.
"Gu Xiaoxiao."
"Huh?"
Tilting her head slightly, her forehead suddenly hit a warm touch, Xiao Xiao was stunned, and Alpha kissed her.
Xiao Xiao looked at Alpha, and was shocked by the style of his solitary chanting and the charm of a little fluorescence.
She caught the ball of light that happened to fall between them, and wanted to engrave it in the palm of her hand like that annual ring, so that they would overlap on the texture of life, mixed with fresh blood, flowing into every cell, infiltrating into every nerve, squeaking with the flow of heaven and earth and the cosmic desolation, singing an ancient and fiery ballad, which was the swan song of life.
The moon shadow is slightly cool, a scoop of spring water, the shadows are in pairs, and the two compartments are snuggled up and do not forget each other.
"Afa, this spring water has the effect of healing wounds."
"Yes."
"Then I'll quickly put Xiaofa in too." The little novel took out the sleeping body from his pocket.
She held Xiaofa and shallowly immersed it in the spring water to prevent Xiaofa from sinking into the lake.
After a while, Xiao Fa regained his complexion and opened his eyes.
"Xiaofa, you're awake! That's great! "Xiao Xiao rubbed Xiao Fa's beautiful feathers with her cheeks.
Xiaofa didn't refuse, just sighed.
"I'm so worried about you, I'm scared to death! Thank you Alpha! Good thing you're here. "A little grateful.
Alpha reached out and rubbed the hair on his little head.
Two people and a bird made their way through the fog and returned to the Babel campus.
The little pair of feet stepped on a pair of simple but very thick high boots, dancing through the birch forest.
"Alpha, look, look!" Little pointed to the birch branches and shouted excitedly.
"Oh, the wings are ripe."
"Well, you said before that this wing fruit is a good thing!" Tiny started drooling.
"You remember my words well." His tone was full of joy, "But it's not for eating." ”
"Huh? How can it be good if you can't eat it? ”
"How do you know how to eat!" Alpha thumped his little head.
"It hurts, you're hitting me again!" Tiny bit her lip.
"Liar, I didn't try it at all."
"You've seen through it haha!" Xiao Xiao gave up covering her head and pretending.
"I'm talking about you!"
"Then what do you say, how is this winged fruit a good method?"
"We can make wine out of it."
Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, "This is good!" ”
