"Don't worry, I'm fine.

I don't know what happened between us, nothing has changed, but it seems that something has happened again.

We have been together for eight years and three months, and the college entrance examination has not divided us further, graduation has not distanced us, and investment has not been ...... But now, I feel farther and farther away from you.

The last time we were in bed discussing a movie was two months ago, but I felt like it had been a long time.

I'm sorry, forgive me for saying goodbye, I just want the two of us to be quiet for a while, maybe the distance will make us figure something out. ”

Liao Yu sat alone at the door of the warehouse, thinking nothing, only the message that Luo Ying gave him in his mind.

Yes, when did you start it, you have been used to staying alone in the study, silently studying the path of magic alone, when the moon is in the middle of the sky and walks into the bedroom, Luo Ying next to her has already fallen asleep, and I don't know if the cold quilt next to her every night is like Luo Ying's increasingly disappointed state of mind.

He didn't want to give everything up, but Hantang's cold mechanical attitude and several trials of life and death made him understand that dying instantly was not just a threat, how dare he let Luo Ying know all this, how could he be willing to let her come into contact with these things.

Whenever he was immersed in magic notes, Liao Yu never dedicated his mental power to pay attention to Luo Ying's actions at all times. With the increase in the frequency of fitness on weekdays, he can only push up the excuse of alleviating his condition, and he reluctantly hopes for Luo Ying's strength and understanding, but being strong does not mean that he does not need companionship and communication.

Looking at the snowflakes falling in front of him, the guilt in Liao Yu's heart increased a little more. Both of them love snow scenes, but since Luo Ying married him and came to the south with him, the snow scene is no longer a scenery that can be seen every year, if you can see this snow scene at the end of the year, Liao Yu will definitely take the time to take Luo Ying to the suburbs to relax.

But now, I don't even remember when the snow started.

"It's time, ready to go in."

Zheng Wei walked slowly from behind Liao Yu and stood beside Liao Yu.

The reason why Liao Yu has the confidence to choose to sit here at this time and recall everything these days is because he trusts Zheng Wei and the two to arrange everything next.

At the end of the exchange, Zheng Wei originally planned to try to improve his magic power, so that when he summoned two black warriors, he would not be in a state of depletion of mana. However, even if it was enough to increase his mana from level 7 to level 8, it would require a full 1,000 universal coins, so he had to give up.

And Liao Yu transferred 500 general coins to Zheng Wei, ready to save 1500 general coins, in case he came back alive this time, he could exchange them for meditation methods or drugs to completely treat the immune system as soon as possible, and then started meditating alone in his private space, which can be regarded as taking the opportunity to sort out his thoughts.

And Zheng Wei and Huang Jian went to Exchange Square for a long time together, and there were different opinions in Exchange Square, but even if Zheng Wei and they were willing to take out the universal currency to exchange information, they found that the explorers of their level did not understand the meaning behind this sudden mission in Hantang at all, and none of the arguments could come up with effective evidence, but there were a lot of explorers who wanted to defraud the universal currency.

After coming back, Zheng Wei discussed with Huang Jian, and after handing over the team fee of 1000 general coins, the remaining 500 general coins were exchanged for two bottles of alchemy potions for repairing broken limbs, as long as the limbs were cut off for no more than an hour, they could use this potion to reconnect them.

After Liao Yu learned about the preparation of the two, he thought about it, and took out 500 general coins to exchange for a one-time scroll sealed with high-level ice magic, this scroll is the same as the fire cloud magic scroll exchanged in the previous world in terms of level, but the range of action is two times larger.

"The ice system cannot help the fire in the same way as the fire system, and the ice system mainly plays a limiting role, so a larger range is prepared."

Since Liao Yu said so, Zheng Wei and the others naturally didn't want to say anything. Eventually, the three put away the items and began to familiarize themselves with their newfound powers.

Back to the present, Liao Yu didn't get up immediately when he heard Zheng Wei's words.

"When was the last time we had snow here?"

Zheng Wei didn't go back with Liao Yu this time, but thought about it seriously.

"It should be the year before last, when we have to catch up with our university, thinking about it, time is really fast."

"yes, I've been with her for more than eight years."

Liao Yu sighed softly, he got up and patted his pants, and his tone immediately turned gloomy and cold in the next moment.

Although Luo Ying's message seemed reasonable, she didn't know about the existence of Hantang after all. We have known and loved each other for eight years, and now I am seriously ill, even if I speak ill of her every day, she will never leave me so abruptly, not to mention that this is just some grievances, this matter is probably not so simple. ”

Liao Yu straightened up and looked at the snowflakes flying in the distance, and there was no longer the usual gentleness between his words.

"I admit that I did make a mistake in this, and I will try to make it up for it when she returns. When this mission is over, if we can come back safely, we can only rely on you to help me find out what happened behind the scenes. If it was really her work or something happened to her hometown, although I was not a dignitary, I would not let her be wronged casually. ”

It's not that the two of them haven't thought about kidnapping, but with the level of surveillance and technology in the 22nd century, there has not been a kidnapping case in the city for hundreds of years, and the word kidnapping has almost become a word that can only be seen in books. After the early stage of the great explosion of emerging technology, vainly trying to use private technology to counter the official security system that has been slowly accumulated for hundreds of years can only exist in the wild fantasies of those civil sciences, and hackers like Zheng Wei who occasionally work part-time can only bypass the official system to sneak against the private system.

Zheng Wei patted Liao Yu on the shoulder, representing his attitude with silence.

The collapse of his own immune system, the instinctive hidden danger of chaotic genes in his body, the shortcomings of his own magic power, the crisis of feelings in the real world and the high debt he bears, this crisis is like an invisible shackle that tightly traps Liao Yu from all directions, and Liao Yu can only try his best to squeeze out a gap in this shackle and give himself a chance to breathe.

At the moment of entering the cold pond, looking at the pale mist surging up all around, Liao Yu only felt that he was like a flat boat in the ocean, slowly sinking towards the depths of the abyss in this boundless gray abyss, until there was no trace in this world.
