Chapter 83: Into the Cave
Yue Zhao asked again: "Why do you trust your father so much?" Better than believing me? I'll be sad. ”
Almost at the moment when Yue Zhaoxi fell, Fil Er also tilted down involuntarily, and her head followed Yue Zhao's face, until the distance was close enough to detect each other's breathing, and Filthy Er stopped shyly. In the eyes of the dirty child, Yue Zhao's eyes are pure and shocking, and they seem to have the courage to shake the earth. Dirty replied: "Dad is the person I trust the most, but you ...... I prefer to believe in you. ”
Yue Zhaoxi suddenly withdrew his hand holding the edge of the bed, and his body quickly rolled down the dirty knee, falling to the ground in an instant.
Dirty was startled by the sudden change, and was about to help, Yue Zhao estimated that he rolled a few times violently, and rolled farther.
But the dirty child laughed even more unfathomably, "Hehe......"
Smiling, she chased in the direction of Yue Zhao's rolling without fast or slow steps.
Yue Zhaoyi stopped next to the closet, and Dirty Er squatted down not far away, waiting for Yue Zhao's next move.
"Knock, knock, knock......"
The sound of footsteps was clear in the silence of the two, and the red face of the dirty child was frightened by these sounds, and the gaze that looked at Yue Zhaoxuan also lost its burning heat.
"Wow, wow, wow......"
The hollow and heavy footsteps flickered far and near, one moment like the person next door walking away, and the other moment like the person next door coming back.
But there was no one next door, and the yard was close to the mountain, and the side was full of stones.
The filthy child was shocked, but he didn't forget to help Yue Zhaoyi up from the ground, but he naively didn't think about the purpose of Yue Zhao's estimate to roll so far.
Yue Zhao saw the right moment, and kicked the wall with his foot the moment before the dirty child touched her.
"Bang."
The walls shattered, and a not-so-small hole appeared in front of the filth. It's hard to fool yourself that you didn't see it.
Dirty's hand froze at the sound of the wall shattering, and was still frozen in the air.
Yue Zhaoxi suddenly grabbed that hand, and smiled aggrievedly and stubbornly: "What is that?" I'm so scared, is there anyone in there? Did you do something behind my back? ”
"Where...... How can there be ......" Dirty's voice trembled, she really didn't want to explore the secrets here, even if it was in her room.
But because of the attachment and trust shown by Yue Zhaoyi, Filthier half picked up Yue Zhaoxi and walked towards the cracked hole.
A pair of green eyes appeared in the cracked wall, and they turned, looking towards the filth.
The eyes at the entrance of the cave were oily, like those of wild beasts, and neither of them moved.
Yue Zhao's eyes narrowed, and suddenly pushed the filthy child to safety.
Dirty was shocked: "No, you can't die......"
The fierce beast crawled out the moment the filth fell, and Yue Zhao estimated that it blocked it, blocking the light in front of the fierce beast.
Yue Zhao could be sure that it was a stone cave inside, and she vaguely heard a voice inside, "The one who caught the crab, you run slowly." ”
There is also the sound of children playing.
Yue Zhaowei and the fierce beast came face to face, blocking the entrance of the cave together, and no one retreated, but the fierce beast didn't seem to have the intention of harming Yue Zhaoyi.
Yue Zhao asked, "Can you speak?" ”
The beast didn't move, and it didn't make a sound.
Yue Zhaoxi reached out and stroked its fur.
Just stroked it gently, and the fierce beast didn't move. The oily eyes rolled with the movements of the moon.
Yue Zhao smiled.
Dirty had already stood up, she came to Yue Zhao's side, and seeing that the beast seemed to be very docile, she went to see Yue Zhao's estimate, and Yue Zhao's smile fascinated her. So gentle and innocent.
When Dirty looked at Jiang Na in a daze, the fierce beast bared its teeth at Yuezhao. Yue Zhao squinted his eyes shallowly and pushed the head of the fierce beast back, but the fierce beast obediently retreated, making way for Yue Zhao to enter.
Dirty couldn't help but feel surprised, and was even more impressed by Yue Zhao's estimate.
Yue Zhao estimated that he entered the entrance of the cave by himself, and Filthy wanted to follow up, but was blocked by the fierce beast.
As soon as Yue Zhao entered the cave, the fierce beast immediately blocked the hole. Dirty didn't dare to break in, and only said to Yue Zhao: "You...... You be careful......"
Yue Zhao estimated that "um".
"Goldfinger."
The call of the female voice instantly woke up a light, and the ring finger of her left hand immediately emitted an overwhelming golden light.
Goldfinger was very proud: "Master, I finally came in handy, right?" Hey, hey, hey! ”
"Huh." Yue Zhao smiled disdainfully.
After entering the hole, I found that there were three forked holes in front of me. The beast's massive body blocked Dirt's vision behind her, as if to prevent Dirt from seeing what was going on.
"Woohoo, grunt......" The beast turned to Yue Zhao, as if urging her to hurry up.
The fierce beast stood motionless at the shattered wall, as if it was deliberately not allowed to enter.
Yue Zhao didn't say much, and walked straight to the middle passage.
The light emitted by the golden finger was enough to shine on the corner point, and the corner points of the passage on the left and right sides happened to be the courtyard surrounded by filth, Ruoyue Zhao guessed correctly, this dark passage should be connected to the courtyard of everyone in the academy. There is only the middle path, which seems to lead to the depths. What's in the depths of the mountain?
Maybe even the dean didn't know what was going on.
The air circulation in the dark tunnel is not very good, and it is all ash when you suck it in, and sometimes there are stone slags falling from the top of your head.
After walking for a short time, there were three or five forks, and sometimes I heard footsteps from the corners of each fork, Yue Zhao estimated that he didn't dare to meet those walking things head-on, and chose the road closest to the middle all the way, this time he walked for a long time, until his legs were numb, and finally came to the end, and saw a little light.
I didn't encounter pedestrians in the middle of the road.
At the end is a pitch-blue halo, with smoke in the middle, hazy, not real, but vaguely magical.
Yue Zhao walked uncontrollably towards the thickest part of the smoke, which was pitch black and gloomy, and no one knew what was inside.
The light of the golden finger was extremely weak at this time.
"Can't go!" Goldfinger snapped open his eyes and shrank back frantically.
Yue Zhao came back to her senses suddenly, but saw that the smoke was in front of her, as if it had the power to devour everything, and the light of the golden finger seemed to gradually dim to almost invisible as she went deeper and deeper.
"It's coming, it's coming."
"Come here."
"Come here......"
That call came from the black air. The voice is misty and seductive.
"Okay." Yue Zhaoxi nodded.
"Don't go—" Goldfinger cried out like crazy.
In the black air, a hazy figure was lying casually, and on the stone bed, there was a person sleeping peacefully.
"Who are you?" Yue Zhao asked.
"What do you say?" The man's voice was like the roar of a fierce beast, and it was not good to say, and it was impossible to even tell if it was a person.
It is humanoid, but it cannot see the face.
"I don't know, can you tell me?"
"Yes, I'm ...... Intendant. ”
"You're not!" Goldfinger shouted.
"Why can't it be?" The man asked rhetorically.
The light of the golden finger has been completely obscured here, and the only bright place of vision here seems to be an extremely faint halo from the man's body.
"You sent me." Yue Zhao is very sure.
The man's breathing was heavy, like the gasp of a beast.
"Are you sick? Or is it injured? ”
"Neither." The man hesitated, "It's all right." ”
"May I ask? Where are you the manager? Spatiotemporal? Or is it tunneled? Or is it the world? ”
"Yes, all of them."
"I see." Yue Zhao's eyes darkened, and he unconsciously pinched his golden finger. Goldfinger seemed to know what she was thinking.
"Hee-hee." Goldfinger was a little uneasy, "Actually, I know who he is, I know." ”
Yue Zhaoxi unreservedly stuffed the little thumb of his right hand into the mouth of the golden finger. Goldfinger snorted in pain, and Yue Zhaoxuan also touched his own bones when he poked Goldfinger's throat. Yue Zhao estimated that it was also painful, but she didn't give up poking the golden finger.
The man suddenly stretched out a cold hand and grabbed her wrist, and his soft voice was like a gurgling stream: "I brought you here." ”
"Why are you spying on me?"
"I wonder if you have some misunderstanding about the world? You don't have to work on the dirty body, or rather, you don't need to take advantage of the dean's family, they are useless. ”
"What do you mean? IMHO, can you tell me your purpose? ”
The man was silent.
After a long time, he said: "Maybe what I said is not quite right, but I also said it bluntly, you are here, you can rest assured." ”
The man looked at the golden finger for a while, and the golden finger suddenly disappeared from Yue Zhao's hand and appeared next to the man's pillow.
The man said, "I made your golden finger." It used to be just a toy, but now, it seems to be somewhat useful. ”
Listening to the man's unclear words, Yue Zhao was silent and asked, "Did you let the golden finger grow on my hand?" ”
"No, it chose itself. But, in the dark, it's all fixed, I can feel it. ”
"But it can't change, can it?"
“…… Be. ”
In the shadows, the man lay still, a dim halo of light shrouded him. Yue Zhao estimated that this man may have been very powerful in the past, but now he is a crossbow with a strong bow.
"What happened? Why did you become like this? ”
"Did you know the space-time tunnel is broken?"
The man didn't seem to want to hide it from her, and he was very frank before speaking.
"I know. That's why I was sent to the Academy of the Dead. ”
The man chuckled secretly. He picked up the golden finger and played with it in the palm of his hand, and the afterglow fell on the severed part of the hand that Yue Zhao estimated was hanging.
He said, "Although I may die at any time, Goldfinger can indeed keep you safe, and the master of time and space has not never had an alternative. ”
"But not me." Yue Zhao was very sure, "Even calling me here was a whim, due to the existence of the golden finger." ”
"No, I called you, it's just...... I can't get used to some things. ”
"Are you not used to me, or are you not used to looking at filth?"
"Don't mention that disgusting woman." Men are disgusted.
Yue Zhao probably understood. But she said: "Even though I know what I'm doing, there's always something wrong with an extra layer of security, and one person was right that I'm just a newcomer." ”
"You're smart." The man's voice was unwavering, but the wheezing sound was even more serious.
With a wave of his hand, he threw his golden finger onto Yue Zhao's severed finger. "Don't give up on yourself, what you lost has already been regained."
Yue Zhao sneered, "Do you know what I lost? Long gone. ”
