Chapter 11: The Tears of Nekaria

After saying goodbye to Qin Jiayue, I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I ran back downstairs with my bag and got on the elevator.

After doing the math, I have already "written" the math and minor subject homework. All that's left is the English essay and the trickiest and most terrible enemy of every student throughout the holiday season – language.

All the ancient poems and classical Chinese in the four volumes must be written silently......

It is said to be written silently, but in fact, it is copied from the book, and anyone can memorize these ancient poems backwards, and I really don't understand what the meaning of letting us write them silently again.

But even if I had to copy it, and I wanted to write it all in one night, I'm afraid I would have to lose half my life. If other subjects are mental work, this language homework is properly physical work.

"Harm! Life is hopeless...... "I clutched my head and looked up to the sky and sighed, as if I could already imagine the scene of me lying on my desk in the middle of the night and copying texts half-dead.

A feeling of weightlessness came from the soles of his feet, and the number on the screen on the right side of the elevator jumped from "35" to "36", which seemed to be almost there.

As the elevator slowly slowed down, I seemed to hear someone talking outside the door.

At this time, shouldn't there be anyone in the hallway?

Just when my curiosity was a little aroused, I suddenly smelled a faint smell of burnt paste in the elevator room......

I don't know if it's because the electrical box is faulty and someone is rushing to repair it, or if there is a circle of indigenous people dancing around the bonfire in front of my house, anyway, let's go down and have a look.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and the smell of burnt paste was slightly aggravated, and a few people in sight were concentrated in the hallway on the 37th floor, whispering something in the direction of my house.

"Xiao He? You're not at home! Seeing me in the elevator thoughtfully, Uncle Zhang, who lived across the door from my house, asked in surprise: "Where are you going?"

"I just went out and bought some vegetables?" I hurriedly raised my head and asked suspiciously, "What are you all doing here, Uncle Zhang?" "

"Hey...... Your house looks like it's on fire! Uncle Zhang sighed, and then said: "Seeing that your door is locked, everyone thinks you are inside, and they are all discussing how to save you!"

"Ah......?" I was a little confused.

"It's okay, it's okay if people are okay......" Uncle Zhang looked at me and smiled bitterly with some relief.

"The residents on the upper and lower floors have been evacuated, I told them to go out to report the fire first, let's go downstairs quickly!"

Seeing Uncle Zhang worried about me so much, I couldn't help but feel a little touched in my heart, and I was glad that I had such a warm-hearted neighbor.

Speaking of which, though, I seem to have forgotten that I have someone else at home......

"! Something is wrong! "

Shaka's little ancestor is still at home by himself! Thinking of her stubborn character, a sense of foreboding arose from the bottom of my heart.

"Uncle! You go downstairs first, I'll go home and take a look!" I hurriedly explained to Uncle Zhang, and then ran back to the door in a hurry, ready to take out the key and open the door.

"Hey! Xiao He! Uncle Zhang shouted from behind, "Don't go back to get things, come with me!" Break the wealth and avoid disasters! "

"Uncle, go first! There's someone else in my family, I can't leave her alone! After I explained to Uncle Zhang, I pointed the key in my hand at the lock hole without the slightest hesitation.

Feeling the key inserted into the lock, I immediately increased the force in my hand and opened the lock with three times and five divisions.

The moment the door was pushed open, a thick wave of smoke and a scorching wave of air rushed towards my face, causing a tingling pain in my skin from the scorching heat.

"Ahem......" The huge irritation from my respiratory tract made me cough lightly twice at once.

Squinting at the black smoke that filled the room, I subconsciously swallowed.

But Sciacca is still in there...... I can't watch her die in the flames like that!

"Made...... Fight! "

Despite some instinctive fear, I gritted my teeth and decided to rush into the room to find Shaka's traces.

I took off my coat, pulled the tomatoes out of the cloth bag and pressed them hard against my clothes, covering my mouth and nose with the juice-soaked parts.

Then, with my impression of the room, I groped my way to the living room......

"Old Xia—where are you—"

"Sciaka—can you hear me—"

"Sha ......"

Just as I was about to continue shouting and searching, I was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that there seemed to be some light in the direction of the kitchen!

As if I saw a glimmer of hope, I immediately leaned against the wall and cautiously groped my way there.

A moment later, the moment I stepped into the kitchen, my vision widened a lot, and I was stunned by what I saw:

The kitchen and the outside are like two worlds, there is not even a trace of black smoke inside, not even a hint of burning sensation, it is almost as if it is separated by an invisible barrier.

"Coward...... I'm underestimating you. "

"Sciaka? Where are you? Hearing this familiar voice again, the stone in my heart fell to the ground, and I hurriedly continued to shout, "Wait, I'll go and save you right now!" "

"No need, I'm not there to the point where I need your help."

Shaka slowly stepped out of the smoke behind me, and I noticed a look on her face that I hadn't seen before, as if there was a hint of satisfaction and relief.

"Didn't you just ask what I'm here for?" She smiled slightly, and then said, "Okay, I can tell you all now."

"You ......"

I was about to ask something more, but before I could finish, she pulled out a large drop-shaped luminescent blue crystal from her coat pocket.

"This is the fruit at the top of the canopy of the sacred tree "Nakaria", and it can see all the experiences of human beings in their lifetime, including everything that has not happened."

Just as I was focusing on this gorgeous crystal with a light blue fluorescence, I suddenly felt a tingling sensation in my arm.

By the time I could react, Sciaka's fingertips were already stained with my blood.

"Hey, what do you want to do!" I grumbled with some dissatisfaction.

"Just borrowing it." Shaka smeared the blood on the tip of the crystal and explained, "The hair is out of stock, and if you want to awaken the tree, you have to use your blood instead."

As soon as the words fell, the color of the blood-stained crystal suddenly dimmed a lot, and a milky white spot of light drilled out from the top of the crystal, like a young bud of a plant......

The young shoots take root inside the crystal and quickly grow branches, branches, and leaves, and eventually become a milky white light tree about half a meter tall.

Strangely, the tree has a rather strange shape, giving the impression that someone has cut off a large piece of its right half.

"Your destiny is all written on this tree, and each branch represents the choices you will have to face in the future, or have faced."

"And this blue spot represents the point in time you are in now, and the blue trail left by its movement represents your past."

"The trunk is long and short from the end of each branch, and when the blue dot touches the end, it means that the life span has come to an end......"

Wait a minute...... The end is the end of life??? I see that the blue dot is already close to the end of the branch, could I be a fart on the spot in the next second?

"Don't interrupt yet, I'll finish talking." As if sensing what I was about to say, Sciaka immediately interrupted me and went on to explain to me:

"You must be wondering why half of this tree looks like a broken one, right?"
