【057】Fading
"Whew...... Whew~"
The wind is very gloomy.
Like the horn of a border city, dull and long, it slowly closes together like a palm on the heartstrings, and then gently loosens, and white snowflakes flow out of the cracks.
The flow of snow seemed a little frenzied, sometimes meekly whistling off into the distance, but at other times cutting aimlessly through the air like a sharp sword.
In the line of sight, there is a vast white field, and among the snowflakes, you can vaguely see the surrounding landforms, undulating snow slopes and vast snowfields, and the snow in the sky seems to be scraped from the sky.
Ji Xuanyuan go, go.
The wind was blocked by a red barrier, the snow evaporated by the blazing protection, and the wind and frost didn't blow her hair, only made her shield flutter like a wave of water.
She heard someone talking in the snow.
The sound is familiar.
She saw a huge sculpture, what seemed to be a huge and intricate work of art carved out of ice, a dragon with outstretched wings and wide eyes, and a hideous face.
It just looked at the sky with an angry and hideous expression, and the dragon wings curled up slightly, it was not hibernation, it was more like a charge before it flew away, and it looked like it would fly into the sky in the next moment.
Although it didn't look like the one in the totems handed down from ancient times, but more like those dragon-shaped Honkai beasts, Ji Xuanyuan was sure that this ice sculpture was carved into a terrifying dragon.
The sense of oppression that seemed to condense into substance crossed the layers of blockade of time and space, penetrated the red barrier, and made Ji Xuanyuan feel suffocated.
Ji Xuanyuan felt that no matter how terrifying the Honkai Beast was, it couldn't do it.
"It's like the newborn palace you depicted, right?"
She suddenly and distinctly heard someone making a sound near the ice sculpture, which was strange, and what she had not heard clearly suddenly echoed in her ears clearly.
The sound is really familiar.
"yes, he's still here, after all."
It was a very weak and faint voice, which was difficult to distinguish even in a quiet environment, but Ji Xuanyuan miraculously heard it clearly, in a piece of wind and snow so far away.
"I've been looking for a long time, and you're not going to give me something good in return?"
While listening to the conversation, Ji Xuanyuan was approaching the ice sculpture little by little, her vision began to widen more and more, and the wind and snow around her seemed to suddenly thin.
"Ahem...... What else do you need from me to give you in return? Please, all I can give you is that notebook, okay? ”
"You still can't remember who stood with you, did you?"
"Clams? Or do you want to start questioning me before it gets any good? Hmph, I won't say, what can you do with me, hey, don't, I said, I really don't remember, you know that I don't know anything in that state. ”
"That's a pity...... It's okay to put you here, right? ”
"Of course there is no problem, you should be the one who has the problem, I think my situation will be right for time...... Ji Xuanyuan?! ”
The Snow Girl made a voice in surprise, and Su Bai, who was clinging to her body, turned her head to look behind her in confusion, and also showed a shocked expression.
"How did you get here?" Su Bai asked solemnly.
Ji Xuanyuan didn't speak, just stood stiffly, and couldn't cover the mouth shape that had been deformed with surprise with his little hands, and the eyes that were shocked, puzzled, and frightened.
"Snow, Snow Girl, She ......"
Ji Xuanyuan raised his right hand tremblingly, and pointed at the white-haired beautiful girl in front of Su Bai with his index finger tremblingly, tears silently falling from the corners of her eyes.
Su Bai was stunned for a moment, and then said in a nonchalant tone: "She? I just feel a little tired of being a demigod, and I think it's time to go back to my old friend. ”
The Snow Maiden's body was intact, with no broken arms or waist slashes.
But her skin was covered in black runes, like those twisted and terrifying spells, black with a scarlet that seemed to glow, and there was a deep despair in the violence.
Although the Snow Maiden's vital signs still appear to be a little active, her breath of life is already very weak, like a dying old man.
"How could it be...... ...... like this"
Ji Xuanyuan covered her mouth with both hands, tears jumped out of her beautiful pupils, condensed into a line on her hands, and then froze in the air.
"I ......"
Su Bai lowered his head, clenched his white and petite fist, and then released it weakly, "It's my fault, I didn't grasp the position and length of the 'announcement'. ”
Ji Xuanyuan didn't understand, but she was sad.
"Then how can I blame you, in that situation, anyone will definitely be wrong, after all, the small law of precision is not what you are good at, if there is a law of precision."
The Snow Girl turned sideways and moved her hand, and it could be seen that she wanted to raise her hand to pat Su Bai's shoulder, but she stopped halfway up and slowly fell again.
"There's no law of precision, it's just because I'm inadequate."
Su Bai's voice was hard and cold, like a slender half-slice tailor's knife she stuck in the snow on one side.
"Good, good, you want to put all ...... Ahem, I won't say anything about all the pots on myself, please let me call you a man who carries the pot, Su Bai is a man who carries the pot! ”
"Get out!"
"Hahahahaha......"
The atmosphere was inexplicably heavy.
But the Snow Maiden's laughter pierced far away.
But she didn't laugh a few times before she coughed violently, like a twilight horse neighing, as if someone had choked her throat.
"Laugh and laugh, you laugh at everything, and after you become a 'ghost', you laugh blindly from beginning to end, what's so funny."
Su Bai turned around impatiently, and just sat next to the Snow Maiden, touching the elbow of the Snow Maiden.
"Of course it's funny, I used to be too sad, since everything is gone, then everything in the past should be gone, including sadness is also ......"
"Do you know that when I first saw you, I was quite kind to see your stupid appearance, and I finally saw a trace of 'god' in this world."
"yes, that's an honor......
"Of course, before I met you, I was a unique existence in the environment I lived in, looking at the whole world is mortal, friends will make me feel comfortable, but the kindness you bring me is different."
"It's amazing......"
"Of course, that's a huge gulf between the two races, okay, although I grew up in human society, and now I'm flesh and blood, but I'm still ...... It's not human. ”
"Oh......"
"Oh what, that's why I think you're very intimate, apricot doesn't count, although she claims to be the third perpetual mechanism, but even if it's really the third perpetual mechanism, it's just the power of the gods, only you are the trace of the real god."
"That's why I felt very comfortable, I wanted to bully you at the time, but I didn't expect you to be such a jumping guy, just like a rabbit, if you don't look at it, you will seem to be lost in the next second."
"What a god who doesn't make people worry, obviously has a memory that is hundreds of times longer than the years I have experienced, but he still lives like a child who doesn't grow up, and he always likes to pretend to be an adult in front of Ji Xuanyuan, she has already seen through you."
"Really, I'm obviously a demigod with countless powers, but I have to worry about everything, Fennil's stupid dog is much smarter and more flexible than you, I'm so much shorter than you, and I still want to be your personal babysitter for a demigod with a chest?"
"It's a bother, stupid demigod."
“……”
"I'd like to worry about you again."
Su Bai paused and sighed.
