I smashed my phone.

In the video, what Mina said was secondary, and my attention was always on Silent Night's face, and I could see her expression, pain, torment, despair......

I had promised her that I would always protect her, why did it end up like this?

I confess my selfish desires.

But it shouldn't make things the way they see.

"To the desert...... Forty-two, I'll go with you to the desert. With that, I walked over to the egg.

"I knew you'd have to go there with me sooner or later. However, Mina actually called the secret realm of the sand sea a wormhole, which really surprised me. ”

Forty-two words made me stop, and I looked back at him.

I always feel that there is something wrong with this.

What exactly happened to the forty-two accidents?

Is the secret realm of the sand sea called the wormhole?

Or, does Mina call it a wormhole?

"What's the matter, what are you looking at? I like the name Forty-Two, so I'll call it that. He interrupted, came to me, crouched down and looked at the eggs that had just been spit out by the orphanage, "What is this?" ”

As he spoke, he touched it with his hand.

I reminded, "It's better not to touch it, it's a hassle, and it took me a long time to get used to it before I was able to pick it up." ”

"Oh, don't underestimate me, man." He didn't listen to me, and his hand still touched the egg.

It's just that, at the moment of touch, my eyes can clearly see the twisted air currents, above his palm, like an invisible glove, separating him from the egg.

He didn't pick up the egg, but used this invisible glove to caress it. I saw the tentacles growing on the eggshell, which were attacking Forty-Two's hand, but when I touched the invisible glove, the tentacles vanished.

But I still didn't know what it was, and all I could see was one insect poison, the poison of the egg itself. As for Forty-Two and his invisible gauntlet, I don't see any connection to the insect venom I know.

But in the end, Forty-Two still gave up, he squatted there for a while, and said slowly: "You really didn't underestimate me...... I really can't pick it up. ”

"What's that thing in your hand?" I asked.

"Huh?"

"Don't play dumb."

"Hah...... Don't make a fuss, man, tell you everything, what if you're going to kill me one day? ”

So, I didn't ask again.

But I know that the secret of the forty-two abilities, I will know one day.

I picked up the egg, and it wanted to attack me, too, but it was almost identical to the one in Vietnam before, and my insect venom had adapted to protect me perfectly. It's just that I didn't want this thing to absorb another one, so I found the wooden box that the old lady had given me earlier and put it in it.

Next, it's time to plan to enter the desert.

The members are me, Forty-two, Du Youlan and the stupid old seven who was forced to join, originally Bai Wuji didn't have this plan, he was a little dead-eyed, and he had to chase the quiet night of escape.

"Where are you going to chase it? I have a nose that senses insect venom, and it's very difficult to find Mina all the way, why do you think you must find it? I don't know what to expect in the desert, but if you have you, it may save you a lot of trouble. Since Mina said that the eggs will be sent to the desert and they will see me, then the two silent nights with her will definitely appear at that time. Why should you go far and near? ”

I persuaded him to join, Baiwuji's ability will definitely come in handy.

"How do you know that the woman isn't lying to you? In the end, they all died in the desert, what should they do in the quiet night? ”

"She's lied to me more than once, but there's no better way now. It's not a good thing to be passively controlled, but if you don't fight to the end, the enemy will be influenced by you. We need to create opportunities for ourselves to stick to the wrong decisions head-on, which will only mess things up completely. ”

He didn't give me a response.

It seems that his heart is also entangled.

Tonight is not destined to be an ordinary night for Bai Wuji, he needs to digest and absorb a lot of things. I knew this, so I didn't continue to force him, "We also need to rest, and tomorrow afternoon, we will prepare to leave at the bazaar and enter the desert." If you have it in mind, come to me. ”

……

We stayed at a hotel near the bazaar, and the next afternoon, Bai Wuji sent me a message asking where and where I met.

At that moment, I finally put my mind at ease, in fact, I didn't know him as well as I seemed. I don't know what his choice will be in the end. Speaking of which, this is a bit like people facing themselves, saying that the authorities are obsessed, and sometimes they are the biggest game for themselves.

So, is he like me?

It doesn't seem like it at all. Perhaps, it was just that Du Youlan connected me, Wei Heng and Bai Wuji together again and again, which made me subtly accept this setting.

But anyway he came.

Before entering the desert, I asked Baiwuji, "Can you tell me, what do you think?" I thought you'd be struggling for a long time, and you didn't even plan to leave today. ”

"That's how it was, but ...... Unlucky. After you left that night, the body of the royal grandmother was found by a stinky boy. I didn't stop it, and eventually all the kids found out. Then they called the police, and I sneaked out, knowing that I would be in trouble to stay. But before you go......"

Speaking of this, Bai Wuji's eyes dimmed for a moment, "Before leaving, I found out that this matter is not just about one or two people at all. I could have left nothing behind and gone straight to Silent Night, but that would be stupid. Those children, each of them is the same, although they are luckier than Silent Night, but they are all Silent Night. Isn't that desert able to make a wish, you say it is so godly, I also want to go and see, if I can clear the customs, maybe I can make a wish to change the fate of those children. ”

"What about the silent night?"

"As you said, as long as you send the eggs to the desert, you will see the woman, and you will see the silent night. Then settle the score. Speaking of this, Bai Wuji suddenly looked at my eyes seriously, "Actually, brother, I was still on guard against you, but...... I don't know why, I always don't treat you as an outsider for some reason, just like looking at myself, even if you say something, I feel intellectually unreliable, and I want to try it. ”

What did he say, why shouldn't I?

Maybe I really shouldn't continue to avoid this question, I should find a time to ask Du Youlan specifically, where did I come from?

It's just that time, not yet.

……

Before entering the desert, I had plenty of water and food ready. He also bought six camels from a local trustee. Actually, it's okay for me, Forty-two and Silly Lao Qi, but Yao Qianwen and Bai Wuji can't walk in the desert for a long time when the food is not enough.

Of course, even Forty-Two and I would have a hard time when we were really completely out of food and couldn't get out of the desert in a short time.

For the first few days in the sand, everything went well. Hurry during the day, find rocks and set up tents at night to avoid the wind and sand. The egg has also remained in its original shape in the wooden box.

Until the thirteenth day, Bai Wuji and Yao Qianwen's bodies and spirits were already extremely tired, although Yao Qianwen would switch to Du Youlan at night, and her mental state eased slightly, but Bai Wuji did not have this kind of plug-in. His lips were dry and his face was pale, lying on the yellow sand and looking at the sky, and he couldn't see at all that such a person would have the strength to continue walking tomorrow.

But this is not to blame him, after all, in terms of physical fitness alone, he is just a normal person.

"Brother, let me ask you a question......" he spoke, but his eyes didn't look at me, still looking at the night sky.

"Hmm." I sat down next to him and handed him the water.

"Forget it, drinking water won't save me, I mainly want to take a shower now. It's all stinky. ”

"It's okay, the joke can still be made, which shows that the real situation is better than it seems." So I put down the water and asked, "You just said you have a question for me, what do you ask?" ”

"Do we have to go back?"

"It seems like nonsense, unless you really want to die here."

"We've been walking for thirteen days, and if we go back, unless we see the Sand Sea Secret Realm immediately tomorrow, well...... At least another two weeks to go. I don't know if I can do it. ”

"Plenty of food and plenty of water. Even if it's not enough, Forty-two and I can go without eating or drinking when resources are scarce, no matter what, it's enough for you to get out alive. You don't think too much about it. ”

Bai Wuji's gaze turned to me and smiled helplessly: "I just don't know, can I find that place...... In fact, I used to think that I was quite capable, but now I realize that the desert easily killed me. ”

"Killed? So I'm talking to a ghost? Rest assured, there are more people killed in this place than you think. And if you're not dead, it's not a loss. ”

"Useless chicken soup ......"

I handed the water to Bai Wuji, "But the water still needs to be drunk, my share of two-thirds of yours, I drank enough today." I have a hunch that I'm going to find it in the last few days, don't make me regret thinking that you're a bit like me. ”

"Ghosts are like you!" Bai Wuji grabbed the water and was about to drink it, but suddenly a hand reached out between us and took the kettle away.

"In his situation, no matter how much water he drinks now, it's useless." The man was stupid Lao Qi, he took out a triangular bag of yellow paper from his pocket at this time, opened it, and there was some pale yellow powder inside, which he sprinkled in the water, and then handed it to Bai Wuji, "Drink this, it will only take about half an hour, and you will definitely recover your spirit." Try it if you don't believe it. ”

"Really?" Bai Wuji was skeptical, but he still drank most of the water.

Silly Lao Qi must not be a good person, but he has been getting along these days, Bai Wuji and he often chat, Bai Wuji is familiar with this person, and Silly Lao Qi likes to make himself look cringe, not difficult to approach, so it seems that they get along quite well.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Ah, don't worry, that thing isn't poisonous. You know, I've been here before, and even though I was an outlaw at the time, who wants to die? Even if you enter this sea of sand, you hope that you can survive by luck. So before I came here, I specially asked the locals who often walk the desert for this, ground dried cactus powder, and added some other ingredients, I don't know exactly what it is, it should be regarded as a home remedy. This thing is mixed in the water, and when you are feeling sluggish, you can drink two sips, which is very refreshing, cool during the day and warm at night! In short, it will be very comfortable on the body. I was here by myself, and I survived on this thing...... But you should know about it, right? ”

Silly Lao Qi knows, I have read his memory.

But I really didn't know it existed. That kind of snooping memory, you can only see a rough content, like a trailer for a movie. And there are many things, all in a flash. After all, to see them all, there must be a snooping time that is exactly equal to the time when the memory occurred. If this is the case, the few minutes of that day will not be watched at all.

So, instead of responding to Silly Seven's question, I took the Baiwuji kettle and took a sip.

The taste is not bad, it seems to be added with mint, and the entrance is indeed refreshing.

"How much of this powder do you have, it's also divided into forty-two and Yao Qianwen."
