Chapter 12 Departure
By the time I got back to my residence, it was already 8:50, and I happened to collide with Ode Oya who had returned. Oude changed the leather overalls he had been wearing and put on a newly bought casual suit, and Ouya also wore a new dress, with a golden pattern on the milky white skirt, and a small black leather jacket on the body was very decent.
The necklace on the chest is still as clean as ever, without half a cent of dust, the light gray gems inlaid on the necklace reflect the light of neon, and the copper headdress sets off Ouya's cuteness a little more dusty.
"J7, your battery is about to run out, I'll replace it with a new one for you, and you may be able to replace it tomorrow after you get on the flying ship, because of some arrangements, so you have to leave early." Oude took a new battery from the backpack he was carrying with him and came up behind me to put it on for me.
"Let's get into the sleeping pod early today, it will save some electricity too, oops! Today, I played with a lot of machine parts, although I was satisfied, but I was still very tired, so Xiaoya and I went to rest first. Ode stretched, and with that, he pulled Oya back into the room.
Ouya didn't speak all the time, and her eyes were a little dim, it seemed that the experience of Hualiu Street brought her a bigger blow than that of Tisball on the ground, and Ou De seemed to be no different from usual, but I don't know why, he gave me a strange feeling, but if I think about it carefully, I can't find anything.
Watching the two of them enter the door, I also returned to my own house. The room was emptier than usual, and some of the clutter that had been placed on the wall before was now gone, presumably Ode had returned in the afternoon, and had all been cleaned up, and now there was nothing but a sleeping pod.
Opening the hatch, I sat down slowly, and though I had tried to be as careful as possible, I made the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. This body is tireless, and even standing all the time is fine, but sitting like this and reading notes makes me more focused.
I reached out and took out the second half of the notebook I had obtained from the antique bookstore from the storage space, calmed down my slightly agitated mood, and looked at it intently.
……
"What's that glowing thing? It looks like a crystal? No, not one, there is another one behind it. ”
"This dragon seems to be guarding them, oh my God, this guy's size...... The color of the scales is also different from that of other dragons......"
"Why are those two crystals floating in the air? Could it be...... If I'm not mistaken, my wish may be coming true! ”
"But to slip through the eyes of this behemoth, it's really ...... I believe I can succeed, and in the words of this sentence, may God bless me......"
There is a large blank space beyond that, except for the bottom half of the last page, which has a stain of ink, which looks like it has been accidentally spilled.
It seems that this note has not been written, and there are still several damages and smudges in the already small text section, and there is no way to read the complete sentence. But even with just a few lines, the amount of information revealed is enough.
A floating glowing crystal, what is that? And judging from the notes, it seems that there is a large dragon with a different color from the normal dragon species guarding them.
Most importantly, what does the author's statement in the note, "My wish may be coming true", represent? The direct meaning of this sentence is that these two crystals have the ability to fulfill wishes!
I don't know what happened to the author of this notebook, I don't know, and I can't guess whether he used crystals or not, but I have no choice but to go ahead.
Now that all the clues are connected, the world has been invaded by dragons, and I happened to wake up when Ode arrived in Tisbor, the city closest to the Black Dead Land, with notes on the Dragon's Lair and a map to the Dragon's Lair......
Everything points to one place: the Dragon's Lair. And the records of the dragon's lair revolve around the two suspended luminous crystals.
There is no other possibility, those two crystals are the "shooting stars" that can fulfill all wishes, and all I have to do is ride them to find my Cher.
It's just great! I'm finally, finally seeing hope! Cher, wait for me, I'll see you soon, I miss you so much, I'm so ......
If I could cry, I don't think I could cry anymore. Three days is not a long time, but I am tormented by the pain of losing my lover all the time, my soul seems to be being cut by a thousand knives every minute, and I don't even have the ability to cry out loud, so I can only bear it silently.
I love her, I love my Cher, but I can't remember my past with her, and I don't even remember her appearance except for a few fragments of silhouettes. I have also been confused, is it really worth paying so much for such an inexplicable love? But in the end, the answer is always the same, if "love" is a disease, I'm afraid I'm already terminally ill.
Even if I only remember her name, only a vague picture of her back, I am willing to endure everything and give up everything for her......
For tomorrow's action, I must now recharge my energy and wait for the dawn to come.
With this in mind, I put away my notes, and after a while, my consciousness gradually blurred......
……
"I have a question for you."
"I don't think you usually talk much......"
"Is there one?"
"What are you going to ask me?"
"Uh...... I want to ask if you have a boyfriend now? ”
"Hmmm......"
"What does it mean, yes or no......"
"That's what I agreed...... Meaning......"
"Agreed? Agree to what? ”
"You...... Aren't you going to be my boyfriend......"
"Huh? Ah, yes...... Let's have a relationship first......"
……
"I just said a few words to my friends, and you just can't finish it, what are you going to do?"
"Are those a few words? It's been more than half an hour! ”
"I don't even have half an hour of freedom? Aren't you going too far! ”
"You, you're murdering me? I'm ignoring you! Woowoo woo ......"
……
"Am I wrong...... I won't murder you in the future, it's me who is wrong......"
“……”
"Ignore me?"
"Ignore me for now."
"Oh, isn't that a bad mood, I've been busy all day, and I've been listening to you and me complaining since I came back, and I'm really a little irritable."
"Then I won't complain in the future, and I won't tell you anything."
"Don't, okay, okay, it's my fault, I was so excited just now, kiss you, forgive me this time, okay?"
"Hmmm......"
……
The sound of the machine knocking rang in my ears as always, and I slowly sat up.
This room has no windows, only cold walls made of stone, and if you live in such a closed environment for a long time, you will probably go crazy.
The day had finally come, and I hardly looked forward to it, and in retrospect, it seemed so long that I felt as if I were about to drown in the river of longing, even though it had only been three days. But when I really made all the preparations, collected all the necessary clues, and had a complete plan, I was not so excited, but calmed down.
I know that no matter how laborious the search was before, it was just some foreplay, and the real important thing is only now that it begins, and the next thing to do is really not a wrong step, and you must be cautious and cautious, otherwise it is likely that all the previous preparations will be in vain.
There was a knock on the door, "J7, I'm in." "It's Ouya's voice, and only this girl will knock on the door of the robot's room and tell you.
"J7, it's time for us to go." Ouya's voice was very flat, and she couldn't hear the tone, which was a little different from her usual.
I nodded, and followed Ouya to the door of the room where they lived, Oude just came out, but he didn't take his luggage, he should have packed it last night and put it back on the flying ship in advance.
Although I was a little concerned about why he packed his bags so early, I didn't delve into anything, after all, my journey with them was coming to an end.
Without any further stay, we left the place where we had lived for three days. Unlike the previous two days, the return trip seemed to be the responsibility of the military, and as soon as we got out of the gate, we were greeted by a soldier in military uniform, who led us to a ship with a military logo, and gave a military salute before stepping aside.
In addition to the pilot, there were several soldiers on the ship, and unlike before, this time they all carried weapons, and their expressions were very serious, even a little nervous.
Except for a few necessary greetings along the way, Oude and Ouya didn't say anything more, and I didn't care, now I was only thinking about how to get away from them.
The original plan was to leave while Ode was maintaining the ship and packing his luggage, but he unexpectedly completed the preparations for the trip ahead of time, which directly disrupted my plans.
It's really not good to just break through, although the agility of this body is not good, but it can still sprint for a period of time when running with all its might, I have tried it before when I was in a hurry, it is about twice the running speed of ordinary humans, but the price is extremely power-consuming, and it can only continue to sprint for about five minutes when it is fully charged, that is to say, basically a minute of sprinting can consume the electricity needed for an hour of activity, and I really don't want to use this way as a last resort.
The flying ship landed at a low altitude, which was the VIP passage we walked through when we came here, and the soldier who led the way got off the ship first, said a few words to the driver, and led us to the platform leading to the ground Tisbor. The same key was used to open the confinement, and as soon as the lever was pulled, the platform began to rise.
"Please wear eye protection to protect your eyes from the sun." A military man reminded.
There was a violent jolt, I almost didn't stand still and fell to the ground, the platform and when I first arrived, the speed was obviously a lot faster, the location of the underground Tisball was nearly two thousand meters away from the ground, but this time it only took a few tens of seconds to feel that the surface was close at hand, if it wasn't for the fact that this platform had been modified, it was artificially controlled.
I turned my gaze to the military-operated lever, which was perpendicular to the ground when the platform was not rising, to the left when descending, and to the right when ascending. I remember very well that the first time I came down, the lever was just slightly tilted to the right, and this time it was almost pulled to the head.
Why be in such a hurry. Even if I didn't care anymore, these anomalies made me feel a little weird, as if something was about to happen.
I hope it's my delusion, I don't want something to go wrong at the last minute.
"Tick", just as I was thinking about it, a soft sound sounded over my shoulder, and then the sound became more and more dense.
Is it actually raining in Tisball? This desert, which has been dry for years since records began, has ushered in rain.
