In the vision shared by Haiji, it was a strange picture of the entire town that had been completely shrouded in the unknown darkness, and all the people who seemed to have lost their souls suddenly turned into crazy thugs!

It was as if it were the plague of the plague, and all the people who were 'infected' by the darkness were now in a strange state of fanaticism.

They screamed, laughed, and wept, picking up what they could hold in their hands and frantically destroying everything around them, including people, running around for unknown significance, doing the craziest atrocities they could.

But he opened his lifeless eyes as if he were dead.

Such a picture made Fang Ran shiver from head to toe, and what made him feel that this was even more terrifying than a horror movie...

This should be the history of the town at this point in time.

"Fang Ran..."

And in her arms, Ling grabbed the corner of his clothes and whispered his name, and suddenly called Fang Ran, who was looking at the town and felt frightened, back to his senses.

"It doesn't matter, this distance is almost safe, let's go down."

The black eyes dispersed, not wanting the girl to feel scared because of the picture just now, Fang Ran smiled at her as if she was fine, and floated down with Ling in her arms.

"Hmm... Let's settle here tonight, uh... Looks like I'm going to have to find a place to buy two new horses tomorrow. ”

Letting go of the girl in his arms, Fang Ran looked left and right at the surrounding environment, took out their carriage from the black box, scratched his head with a little embarrassment, and smiled at Ling embarrassedly and said:

"I'm sorry, Ling, I knew I would have listened to that priest, and we would have liked to leave as soon as possible after finding someone."

"But forget it..."

Speaking of this, Fang Ran sighed helplessly, then blinked his eyes and smiled at Ling:

"It's not too early, let's go to bed quickly, it's not a good habit to stay up late, okay, okay, hurry up and go to bed, we have to find a place to go fishing tomorrow."

After speaking, Fang Ran also lifted the curtain and mosquito net, yawning and planning to get into the carriage and Zhou Gong to continue the front edge,

Then, a small hand reached out from his long sleeve and grabbed the corner of his coat.

"Fang Ran, aren't you going to save them?"

Fang Ran, who was about to climb into the carriage, stagnated, and some unbelievable tones of simple questions sounded crisply behind him,

Easily pierced his mask.

"Ahaha.... What did Ling say all of a sudden, what to save them..."

Obviously, he just pinched the corner of his clothes slightly, but there was a kind of resistance that he couldn't get into the carriage again, so Fang Ran had to scratch his head and turn around and replied with an embarrassed smile:

"I don't know them well... And..."

"Liar..."

Then he was interrupted by the girl's soft words.

"Fang Ran, you big liar."

Ling, who was wearing a gothic skirt, took a step back a little dissatisfied and angry, staring at Fang Ran with big eyes and expressing that she didn't want to go to sleep.

Interrupting his lie, he pursed his lips as if he was making a fuss, and his pale golden pupils met his eyes, and he shouted:

"The Fang Ran I know is a kind-hearted hopeless big fool, who will buy the things sold by the old man at the stall for twice the price, and will say that he is bored and runs to help people in the fields he passes by!"

"I will give food to people I don't know, and I will help people who have fainted! Obviously, whether it's the things you buy or the specialties you get, you don't need them at all, and you always like to do superfluous things stupidly! ”

In a low tone of anger, Ling bit her lip and looked at Fang Ran's voice as she lowered her grievances, her big pale golden eyes filled with unhappy moisture.

"It's not... I will meet those who are dead and cannot be saved..."

For some reason that even Ling herself didn't know, she felt that Fang Ran, who pretended not to see just now...

It's annoying.

And the young man who listened to the girl's words, Fang Ran turned around and saw Ling in front of him, and the whole person was stunned for a moment,

Then he gave up a little and sighed bitterly,

Squatted down in front of Ling, who didn't know why she was angry, and looked at her with eyes without the perfunctory and disguised opening just now:

"I... Actually, it's not as kind as Ling said, that little money and food is insignificant to me, those heavy jobs are easy for me, even the villains who drive ordinary people to a dead end are just guys I can easily settle with,"

"At the end of the day, those are just self-satisfaction that I do when I'm sure I have the money and the ability to do it,"

It was no longer clear whether he was explaining to Ling in this era, or explaining to the usual Ling, Fang Ran rubbed his face and smiled bitterly:

"Maybe when I was a child, I could still be like you said, but now I'm mostly just a selfish guy who wants to protect the people around me."

After all, Fang Ran put away his smile and looked at the girl in front of him seriously, and said calmly:

"There's an unknown situation in that town that I feel dangerous even in this state, and I can't take you with me as easily as Milan,"

Exhaled softly, gently pressed Ling's slender shoulder, smiled and explained:

"I can't let the people around me bear the danger of not knowing what will happen this night because of some unrelated people, I am here, at least I can guarantee your safety in any situation..."

"Stupid!"

"Ling..."

"Fang Ran... You idiot..."

"It's not... I..."

"Fang Ran, you big idiot!!"

The throat was stuck, and for some reason the girl shouted angrily, Fang Ran opened her mouth and just wanted to explain again, but was completely interrupted by Ling shouting in front of her.

"Why lie, why say such things against your will!"

Some kind of dissatisfaction, some kind of unhappiness, some kind of feeling that it shouldn't be like this,

Let Ling look at Fang Ran and shouted out the feelings in her heart, she pursed the corners of her mouth upward, raised her light golden moist eyes and looked at Fang Ran, who was still very stupid in front of her, and didn't know why she was making trouble:

"Fang Ran, you obviously can't bear to watch so many innocent people die in front of you! You can save them if you want to! Why pretend you don't care! Why do you want to stubbornly stay with me! ”

"With those weapons you gave me, with Haiji and Mu Lin, I can obviously protect myself, and you can always watch my situation, even if I encounter any danger, you can appear in front of me in an instant, you clearly told me before!"

The words of explanation suddenly became useless, and subconsciously Fang Ran still regarded Ling of this era as a child who needed his own protection, forgetting that she was actually very smart, whether it was the use of future weapons that she taught her or the fact that she accidentally said in a braggart tone that she could use [Wheel] to teleport,

She remembers it all clearly,

His lies were debunked at once.

"Because Fang Ran told me that because you have someone you want to save, the reason why I will be in danger in the future....?"

His expression was completely stunned, and he didn't know what to say when he looked at the girl in front of him.

Rei is also much smarter than he thought.

"Fang Ran, you idiot! Why take all the blame on yourself, and why do you think it must be your fault? ”

Ling's clear eyes stared at Fang Ran's eyes, the words of the low shout were distressed with crying, and the words of questioning made him unable to answer, and he suddenly remembered the ice sea in the Arctic, and it was also Ling staring into his eyes.

-'It was my freedom to help you or anyone that night, and the grudge with the Nightless Palace was my own business, so don't be sentimental and think that it was because of you that you would do this'-

"Because the future is not your fault at all, and you let go of what you want to do, force yourself to stay with me, and force yourself to pretend that you don't care, then you are now self-satisfied!"

"That's not the Fang Ran I know, that Fang Ran..."

The overflowing emotions finally turned into a glimmering substance in the corners of her eyes, Ling grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands in her long sleeves, lowered her head and finally said in words the reason why she suddenly made an awkward scene,

Biting his lip and feeling sorry for the young man, he endured the grievances that came out of his crying in a weak voice:

"I don't like it."

The moment my eyes widened, and the moment I heard this sentence,

The brain goes blank and loses thinking.

Then a certain feeling that finally suddenly understood slowly surged into the blank, because his own affairs on the night of the hot night in the city led to Ling's crisis in the ice sea Arctic,

made Fang Ran blame himself for being anxious, so that even if he saw the scene just now, he forced himself to harden his heart and turn around and leave directly, putting Ling's safety first.

'With the heart of wanting to protect the people who are important'

When you think like that, do you take into account the feelings of the person you want to protect? ’

I feel sorry for him, I feel wronged because I don't care about what he pretends to be, and I want to protect him while being guarded by him.

Looking at the girl who was grabbing the skirt in front of him, pursing his lips tightly, even if the corners of his aggrieved eyes were shining with tears, but he was also stubbornly staring at his girl,

Fang Ran finally understood why Ling didn't tell herself when she left...

He slowly closed his eyes, and the moment he thought of the answer, he also felt aggrieved and distressed.

In order to protect their daily life.

"I'm sorry... I'm so stupid..."

"A lot of things... I don't even understand..."

opened his eyes again, from the beginning of rushing out of the bonfire party of Beijing University to the end of sinking into the sea of ice, all the anxiety, restlessness, self-blame, remorse, and all kinds of emotions that pressed on his heart seemed to be released the moment he heard the words of the girl in front of him, and Fang Ran lowered his eyes and spoke softly with a weak and tired look.

"But, thank you, Rei."

But this time he smiled, not in disguise.

It was a smile that disappeared from the moment you rushed out of the campus gate.

"I learned something very important, and I almost got something wrong."

With such an anxious mood, even if you return to that sea of ice, you can't do it.

couldn't help but stretch out his hand and hugged the girl in front of him tightly, like the rainy night in Milan, this time he felt warm and relieved.

The eyes are hot, rubbing the girl's hair hard,

After a long absence, Fang Ran felt the ease of his usual days again.

With wishful thinking, I made the decision not to think about why Ling did this, and I twisted my mind and even did what I could never imagine in the past...

You're not a night crow, and you're not some ruthless A-class bigwig...

Fang Ran, you... I almost didn't look like you anymore.

The heat kept gathering in the eye sockets, the choking throat that wanted to cry brewed in the throat, and the urge to cry that had been hidden under all the pressure from the night of the bonfire party was finally swept away.

"It doesn't matter, Fang Ran..."

Ling also stretched out her hands and hugged his back, tears welled up for some reason, biting her lip open, choking and saying words of comfort to her.

"You can definitely bring the future me back, ignore you... Don't tell you... I'm fierce to you, so it must be just me making trouble... You hold me... I'll be sure to listen to you when the time comes..."

"Hmm..."

Laughing for some reason, Fang Ran let go of Ling to wipe away her tears, and then it seemed that he had become much taller Night Patrol slowly appeared on his body, watching the girl's moist eyes slowly fill with darkness, and couldn't help but laugh softly.

"I just don't know when the time comes, I'm so stupid, I can't speak, and I don't understand the girl's mind very well, because I hide a lot of things, and I make Ling so angry, can you talk well..."

The long sleeves were raised, and the slender little hand grabbed the corner of his cloak for the Night Tour, and the girl with reddish eyes raised her head and said seriously with her golden pupils unhappily:

"Don't speak ill of people important to me."

Wearing a huge pitch-black cloak, the moment her black eyes widened slightly, the girl quickly loosened the hem of his clothes, and then pursed her lips and added:

"Also, Fang Ran needs to come back quickly."

Leng Ran's expression was broken by this sentence, and a sense of relief from the heart and a long-lost sense of omnipotence welled up from Fang Ran's heart, and when he waved his hand, he summoned Mu Lin and asked him to jump on Ling's shoulder,

"Needless to say, Queen, don't forget,"

A confident and cheerful smile evoked the best in the young man who bowed his head slightly, not an explosion that was pushed to the limit, nor the determination of cold thoughts, probably like the unrestrained him in that Beijing scene, full of spirit!

The black eyes shone brightly, and the emotions in his heart turned into words of promise, and the second before the pitch-black figure rose into the air and turned back, it was Fang Ran who took a deep breath and smiled firmly.

"I'm very strong."
