Chapter Eighty-Six: Arrival
Just as I was thinking as hard as I could get oxygen from the thin air through my mouth and nose, the yarn recited the mantra again—and then, the surrounding ice dissolved into water at a speed visible to the naked eye, and bubbles bubbled up in a short period of time, and the temperature that had risen suddenly dropped dramatically.
I observed the phenomenon around me, and took a few more breaths of air, and my body was slowly returning to normal, so I realized what had just happened - melting ice into water with mana in a short period of time, and then using mana to decompose the oxygen in the water.
Since I've just seen a much bigger scene, I'm not surprised by what I'm doing...... It's better to say that my heart has been completely numb, but I just think that if this method of oxygen production is used to extract hydrogen, it may be able to promote the rapid development of the aerospace industry thousands of years ago.
When the oxygen in the air reached a certain concentration, the dissolution of the ice and the bubbling of the water stopped, and my physical symptoms disappeared and I was finally able to stand up.
I first observed the petite figure of the yarn, and judging from her slightly trembling shoulders, the series of actions just now were not for nothing, so I picked up the fluffy coat and soft hat that she had just taken off and threw on the ground, and after making sure that they were not wet with the dissolved water, I walked over to her and draped the coat over her back.
Originally, I was going to take care of her bright red hair that was blown by the wind and snow, but after thinking about it, I stopped, and just supported her soft back with my right hand, feeling the trembling and undulation of the light body through the palm of my hand: "Let's find a place to sit down and rest for a while." ”
"Help me to the guardrail."
Sasha grabbed the collar of her coat and took several deep breaths before shaking her head, and pointed to the edge of the rooftop, while looking up at me sideways, a pair of eyes that looked bright in the starlight revealed a cold and determined aura.
Watching her pair of dark eyes reflecting the stars, I felt a little uncomfortable, intellectually I felt that the person in front of me was not a yarn, and emotionally felt that this was still a yarn, but was in a state of dissociative seizure - to be honest, I still can't be sure what happened to the yarn, whether it was telepathy, dual personality or soul possession, or maybe consciousness manipulation?
The first two are in a state that I can understand, while the last two are unpredictable. What's more, if it was the first two, the current yarn would still be herself, but because she was disturbed by Miss Liuzhi's thinking, she saw herself as another individual - if this was the case, I would be able to adapt and even help her find a solution to this situation.
But if it's the latter two, it means that what is in front of me at the moment is Miss Liuzhi, who acts with the help of the yarn's body, and I can't treat her as a "yarn", and at the same time I can't find a solution. Because this situation must be a secret between Miss Rokuchi and Sa, a secret that they do not want to reveal to others, I have no right to inquire into it, nor should I peep into it, unless Saki asks me for help.
I sighed and stiffly helped her to the ice-filled parapet and looked down from thirty-six meters in the air.
The thick clouds in the sky were expelled, and the moonlight and starlight intertwined and sprinkled on the ice city located on the plain, dyeing the pure white snow and ice together with the cold glow, making the whole ice city and the land seem to glow with a soft fluorescence like water.
In addition to this, there are some flat places...... For example, the completely frozen glacier in the eastern suburbs, from a distance, looks like a mirror of the sky formed by the salt lake, the stars in the sky are reflected on the smooth ice like a mirror, forming a galaxy that is exactly as bright as the starry sky overhead, quietly rippling with the returning air, and layers of silver-scale brilliance circulating on the ice, as if in an instant, the whole glacier rotates from static to a huge dragon covered with scales woven from the stars, and the "whirring" sound of the air return is its low roar- It's a view like you've never seen before, because there's never been a time when snow and ice coexist with such a vast array of starlight.
Despite the anxiety in my heart, my eyes were drawn to the beauty of the spectacle and I felt fortunate that I was perhaps one of the very few people ever to see such a rare spectacle.
"Found it."
Just as my eyes were drawn to the view, Yarn had already broken free of my hand and walked alone to the south-facing position, looking out over the wide sparkling river outside the ice city.
"Where?"
"On the surface of the lake on the Yokonaka River."
I was refreshed, and hurriedly walked to the side of the yarn and looked in the direction she pointed - the straight-line distance between the climbing platform and the Hengzhong River was nearly 4,000 meters, so at first I could only see the silver river surface and the snow piled up on both banks, but when I had the idea of looking more closely, the vision in my eyes suddenly zoomed in as quickly as the lens stretched by a telescope, and soon the scenery of the river and both sides of the river was clearly presented in my eyes.
At this moment, a flat-bottomed boat drifting on the river came into my eyes, but the figures on the boat could not be seen clearly, and I could only distinguish not one person, but six or seven people.
Since I couldn't see the faces of those figures clearly, I couldn't tell if Jing was in it, so I had to ask Sha: "Jing...... Well, is my sister there too? ”
"I don't know."
Sasha shook her head and put the coat back on her back: "Just now, when I was expelling the wind and snow, my mana was interfered with over there - give me the hat." ”
After a brief explanation, she tilted her head and looked directly at the hat in my hand. Seeing her like this, I handed over the hat in my hand. But instead of reaching for it, she shifted her gaze to my face and stared at me, "Help me put it on." ”
As she spoke, she turned her head away from me and lowered her head slightly, not expecting to wait for my reply.
She's not Miss Liuzhi.
I frowned, and from what I knew of Miss Liuzhi, she was the kind of person who would never like to be touched by others, or even her own things. At first I thought she had a hygienic disorder...... In fact, it is also a cleanliness habit, but it is an extremely serious psychological cleanliness habit. Although they don't get angry at others stepping into their homes or touching their things, they do feel unhappy because of it.
What's more, Miss Liuzhi is not the kind of person who likes to take the initiative to communicate with others, or have intimate actions with others. I used to do this for Jing and Sa, but in her case, I was afraid that she would be thrown into the Pacific Ocean by her spell on the spot—so she would never let me touch her.
"Okay."
I guessed in my heart as I answered, walked behind her, and reached out to take care of her hair, which had been blown a little loosely; First take off the gloves of both hands, and then take off the loose white hair rope for her, then use a slightly cold hand to take care of her hair, and carefully separate the tangled places, from top to bottom with ten fingers to straighten them out, so that they can hang down softly on the shoulders, then hold the hair strands, tie the hair rope into a high ponytail, and then thread it from the top of the ponytail to form a simple hair plate, and finally wear a white soft hat on it.
To be honest, I really enjoy the touch of smooth and silky hair flowing on my fingertips, and I enjoy the feeling of taking care of beautiful hair from the bottom of my heart, and sometimes I wonder why I chose to work in psychology instead of being a barber in my last life - is this a habit that only exists in this life?
After doing this neatly and neatly, I took a step back and observed the results, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Okay." ”
At this time, Shacai raised her head, reached out and touched her hat, and then turned sideways and handed me a palm: "Hold my hand, let's go." ”
I guessed what she meant by "the past" as I put my gloves back on and reached out to hold the hand she had handed me. As soon as I grasped it, before I could react, a strong sense of weightlessness went straight up from the center of my feet to my brain, and the environment around my body fell visibly to the naked eye...... No, it wasn't the space around me that was falling, it was my body floating upwards as if it had lost gravity, and it was only a dozen meters higher in the blink of an eye.
Just as my body was dizzy and unbalanced by the sudden floating, the voice of the veil came from beside me again: "Close your eyes, it's best not to breathe for a while." ”
When her voice fell, it was like a powerful hand throwing us forward, an irresistible huge force approached, and then the scene I saw in my eyes was rapidly magnified, and the originally arm-thick Hengzhong River was rapidly amplified in my eyes, and the extreme speed from static to moving made my heart beat suddenly intensified, and I subconsciously closed my eyes to avoid being hurt by the strong wind that rushed in front of me.
However, after a few seconds, I didn't feel any wind resistance, but it became a little harder to breathe. When I opened my eyes, I realized that Sata and I had come to the sky above the Yokonaka River and were floating on it still.
I couldn't help but smack my tongue, the strong inertia that should have disappeared unreasonably, and the inertia that suddenly accelerated and stopped was not fed back to me at all - the distance from the rooftop to the Yokonaka River was more than 4,000 meters, and the time for me and Sato to reach the sky above the Yokonaka River was less than fifteen seconds, which means that the speed of the two of us just now was close to, or may have broken through, the sound barrier.
