Like a faint fire, suddenly exposed to the pouring rain, there seemed to be some kind of ardent and stubborn expectation in his heart, which was silently extinguished as his words fell.

The body seemed to freeze as petrified except for the eyelids, and with every blink, I saw Chu He turn around minute by minute, until the end, leaving a cold and firm back. Gui Ying seemed to notice something, turned around violently, and hugged the arm of Mo Yunxia, who had never spoken behind him.

"Yunxia, I'm sorry, I'm leaving...... You-"

"Don't be stupid." Mo Yunxia's tone was soft and doting, and he smiled quietly, as if even every wrinkle in the corner of his eyes was condensed with deep and determined love. "I know how important Shui Qing is to you, and I have no problem with your decision."

"You don't blame me?" She sobbed softly again.

"Silly girl." He just smiled, his voice softer.

"I'm sorry, Yunxia, I still failed you in the end. Although we have only just met, somehow, I always have the feeling that you are an old friend I have known for a long, long time......" Gui Hotaru lowered his head and wiped the endless tears with his hands. "It seems that I don't have time to repay you, and before I leave, I have to ask you for your help - Zhuo Ying, she is my only remaining friend... I can't let her have another accident, so please protect her and don't let her be in any more danger until you go back to school, okay? ”

I met their gaze, slightly uncomfortable. It took a long time for Mo Yunxia to retract his gaze and hold Gui Ying's face into his chest.

"Gui Ying, you can ask me to do anything for you, and I will do it for you without hesitation. But—" His tone suddenly ceased to soften, and was cold and irrefutable, "I can't grant your request. Do you think I'm going to let you put yourself in danger and get out of it? ”

Like me, Gui Ying, who buried her head deep under Mo Yunxia's chest, was also a little stunned for a while. She slowly raised her head to meet Mo Yunxia's fiery gaze, and she didn't know what to say for a long time.

"You mean ......?"

Mo Yunxia was speechless, just smiled deeper and deeper, and nodded slightly.

"No, no! You can't do this! Gui Ying's conditional launch generally pushed Mo Yunxia away, and his voice trembled slightly, "This matter has nothing to do with you, it's already my fault for getting you involved, you can't risk your life with me anymore!" ”

"Gui Hotaru, if you really understand my intentions, you should know that since I have appeared in front of you, I am ready to give everything for you." Mo Yunxia took the first two steps, and his tone was unquestionably determined, "When you make a choice, you should know that I also have my own choice!" ”

"Mo Yunxia, I believe that Gui Ying understands your thoughts, but your choice is indeed too unwise." Chu He couldn't help but persuade, "I thank you for your kindness on behalf of everyone, really." But there's really no need for you to take the risk with us. You're a smart man, and I believe you don't need to say anything about it, but you yourself know what's at stake. ”

"Of course I do, I've thought it through. Chu He, Zhuo Ying is unwilling to go down to save people, you can choose to respect. Can't you respect my ideas? ”

"It's different! Zhuo Ying has her responsibility! "She stays, so that even if something happens to us, at least someone will know, at least someone will survive and go back to tell our family everything." But you are different, you only thought of me when you made a choice, have you ever thought about your own future life? ”

"Gui Hotaru, you know me! All I have in my heart is -"

"—What about Zhuo Ying? Who will keep her safe! Gui Hotaru almost burst her throat, "Also, your parents, your family!" Have you ever thought they hadn't! ”

"Return to the ......"

"Mo Yunxia, I understand your heart for me, I really understand! But... I don't want you to lose your life because of this! If so, I'll have a troubled conscience forever! Gui Ying had lost the strength to stand alone, and the hands holding Mo Yunxia's arm trembled violently, "Shui Qing is my best friend, if I don't go to her in person today, I won't have the face to meet her parents tomorrow." This is my responsibility, my life! But you are different, this matter has nothing to do with you from beginning to end, do you want to take your life on me! ”

Mo Yunxia's expression was blank, and the firmness in his eyes dimmed a little. Gui Ying clutched his loose arm tightly, his blazing eyes telling endless begging. After a long time, Mo Yunxia finally lowered his eyelids, sniffed, and nodded slightly.

"I want to be there for you, wherever you are. But I don't want to be a burden to you. He said word by word very softly, there were crystal teardrops hanging on the tips of his eyelashes, trembling for a long time but always stubborn and unwilling to fall. So, I promise you, return to Hotaru. ”

Gui Hotaru was speechless, and her wrinkled jaw trembled uncontrollably. After a long time, she finally broke into tears and laughed, and hugged Mo Yunxia's arms again.

"Take care of Zhuo Ying for me."

"Take care of your own ...... and wait for me to get back."

They slowly parted and hugged each other's arms. Although Gui Ying's gaze hadn't been able to take his eyes off Mo Yunxia's face, his feet retreated towards the Chu River step by step. Chu He behind her slowly turned his head and looked at me with a complicated gaze.

"Tell my mom and dad not to make them too sad." He suddenly burst into an incomparably bright and warm smile, "We believe in you." ”

"Hold on, I'll come back to you right away if I find someone."

He nodded, seemingly pleased with my answer. Gui Hotaru ran towards me and hugged me tightly. A sweet scent emanated from her long hair held high, and it was smelled every day for two years, a familiar and pleasant aroma.

The intense colic pain for no reason suddenly spread from the heart to the whole body.

didn't hear the murmur she thought it would be, she turned away without looking back, and took Chu He's hand. The two of them walked straight towards the ghostly silver lake, and Mo Yunxia twitched silently for a moment, as if instinctively wanting to rush up and hug Gui Ying. But after all, he barely suppressed it, and stood in place and clenched his fists.

Together, they looked back at my face as if they were the last time. The silver-white sparkling lake waves reflected in the eyes of the two people, shining with a bright and shimmering light. The cramping pain in the bottom of my heart immediately intensified to an unbearable degree.

For a moment, the thought of running to them overflowed. However, after all, the feet still sanibly maintained their due stillness.

Chu River, Gui Ying, I'm sorry. Maybe I should join you. However, the only option that can save everyone is to stay.

Please, be sure to wait for me, until I prove to you that I am right.

When the time comes, none of us will be left behind, our great discoveries will be known to the outside world, and we will be given supreme glory and status......

The figure in front of him suddenly jumped high and fell towards the silver-white lake in slow motion. The shimmering waves cast a psychedelic and dazzling silhouette of two people, like a dream vision, beautiful and eerie. Immediately, tens of thousands of silver filaments suddenly rose into the air and wrapped around the weightless bodies of the two people, and suddenly, a huge dazzling beam of light rolled up a hurricane and roared.

It seemed like all my senses were lost for a moment, and when I opened my eyes again, the bright light and the hurricane had faded, and the cave had returned to a dead silence.

Not far away, Mo Yunxia turned his back to me, motionless facing the lake that had not yet ended, like a long-lost stone statue, without sound or temperature.

“… Mo Yunxia? ”

He turned to me slowly, and the moment they looked at me, my heart suddenly tightened. I didn't see his eyes—he stood too close to the surface of the lake, and the white light refracted from his indistinct eyes, an unbearable chill......

I can't tell the difference, the piercing ice blade, the scorching flame......

"You—" I heard my voice hoarse and quirky, "you didn't want to go with me at all in the first place, did you?" ”

He didn't answer, he still stood like a stone statue. The surface of the lake was calm, and the light in his eyes dimmed for a moment, but it was like death, leaving only an endless darkness of despair that seemed to breathe the heart.

"Mo Yunxia ......"

Still no answer. It seems that even his chest has lost the ups and downs that symbolize hope and life.

The heart is clutched by something cold, it is fear. Beyond the speed of my heart's beating, all the blood around my body burned like a burning heat, my muscles twitched violently, my feet no longer obeyed, and I ran out of control to the exit at the edge of the cave.

He's crazy, he's crazy! His soul was also sucked into that wormhole with Gui Hotaru!

I don't have time for him, yes, not for a moment! I have to get out quickly, everyone's lives are in my hands, I have to go down the mountain right away and get in touch with the outside world. I'm going to tell the police what happened to everyone, and I'm going to tell **, the amazing meteorite that they missed and couldn't find - no, it's not a meteorite, but dark matter from outer space, the first wormhole connected to outer space ever discovered on Earth, and I, the only one who survived, was the first person in the world to discover a wormhole!

The manic excitement swelled rapidly in the heart, as hot and oppressive as this dark tunnel, and it could not run to the exit of the light for a long time.

A layer of sweat floated on his body, and his clothes were sticky and sticky to his body, which was indescribably suffocating and uncomfortable. The way out seemed to be much longer than it was in, the descent was difficult, my strength was gradually exhausted, my dull breathing became heavier, and I finally stopped, leaning against the rough and hard rock face and gulping in the hot flashes.

Suddenly, there seemed to be the sound of hurried footsteps on the road ahead in the darkness. I subconsciously covered my mouth, my hairs stood upside down one by one, and I listened to the footsteps becoming clearer and clearer, and there was a suffocating echo in the long and narrow tunnel.

Who is it, how can they appear in this cave in the wilderness of the mountains in the dark night?

Without even thinking about it, I turned around and ran into the cave—almost as I took a step, a large, cold hand wrapped around my body, the other clutching my nose and mouth. There seemed to be a momentary backflow of blood from all over my body, and I took a sharp breath, only to find that the thin gas inhaled into my chest had a strange pungent smell. Before he could tell the difference, a strong and terrifying sleepiness had quickly surged into his mind along the veins.

I screamed in despair, but my voice was held tightly in my throat. Shocked, I stepped behind me with all my strength, hitting the man's instep. I seized the moment to break free and run forward, only to find that my feet had no strength left, and I fell to the ground in one step, dizzy, and the world was spinning.

"Mo... Mo Yunxia! ”

No response. I've run too far and can't scream much even with all my might. My whole body twitched uncontrollably with uncontrollable fear, and I turned back in vain, only to see a chaotic darkness in front of me.

The wind was howling, and I didn't have the strength to dodge. The head was kicked by a flying foot, and with a muffled sound, it slammed into the rock wall on the other side.

The heavens and the earth were spinning so fast that I could no longer hold it and fell hard. There was a hollow coldness on one cheek that fell to the ground, while on the other side was a sticky warmth. Cold and heat slowly blended together, melting the sky, melting the earth, melting my unconscious body, until it returned to darkness, to a chaotic nothingness.
