1. Accident (modified)
The late autumn night was already a little chilly, and the cold moonlight was particularly lonely.
On the deserted cypress path, the maple trees lined up on both sides sway, accompanied by the sound of "whoosh", and the golden red leaves fall.
In the distance, a thin, slender figure walked slowly from far to near.
She was dressed in a pure white and light blue patient's shirt, with a white bandage on her forehead, her beautiful little face was a little pale, she held a bouquet of lilies tightly in her hand, her eyes stared into the distance without focus, her steps were slow and a little vain.
An autumn breeze blew across her cheeks, and the golden-red maple leaves gently fell on the lilies, she slowly stopped, her white and slender fingers twisted the maple leaves, and her black pupils slowly condensed on this maple leaf.
Her fingertips trembled as she stroked the outline of the maple leaf, and the long-accumulated sparkle in her eyes slipped from her cheeks.
"Zhixuan, Xiaoyu, the maple leaves are still so beautiful this autumn, you are over there...... See? She tilted her head slowly, looking through the maple grove to look farther away.
Over there, two of the most important friends in her life are buried......
Just a few months ago, she and two of her best friends went camping in the mountains to sketch, but who knew that they encountered a landslide, and the three of them were unfortunately killed and washed into a cave at the bottom of the mountain.
The three of them were all slightly injured, and her backpack was not washed away, and the food in it could last for a few days temporarily, but there was not enough water, so the three of them wanted to look around.
But no one expected that they would find a tomb in the depths of the burrow.
often watched the story of Captain Jin's tomb robbery on TV, the three of them were excited and scared, and after several discussions, she proposed to go in and have a look, and because of this, she became the culprit of this accident......
After climbing into the exposed cave, I found that it was a tomb chamber of the owner of the tomb, with the heavy coffin of the tomb owner in the center, and no other funerary goods were found except for the exquisite frescoes on the walls.
The three of them did not have the courage to open the coffin to see the appearance of the tomb owner, but they used a flashlight to observe the murals on the wall.
The main character of the mural is a woman in a strange suit of armor fighting.
On one of the murals, the ground is torn into countless pieces, the flames of war are spreading everywhere, and the woman is fighting fiercely with a warship flying in the air, and the woman's hands are painted with something like a whirlpool, and as soon as the warship gets closer, it is immediately corroded?!
In another mural, a woman is the leader, followed by a group of people dressed in military uniforms, standing on a warship and looking at a man on the ball in front of them? Grief?
The trio did not understand what the mural was trying to convey at all, and it was painted in such a strange and bizarre way that they soon lost interest in it and turned to other places.
At that time, she was attracted by a sound, and when she walked through the coffin, she twisted her feet, and subconsciously helped the coffin lid on the coffin, and her hand suddenly hurt, as if it was broken by something, and it was at that time that she inadvertently opened a mechanism in the tomb.
It was a staircase that winded downward, and both Zhixuan and Xiaoyu shook their heads, saying that they didn't dare to go down, because she took the lead despite the dissuasion of the two, and at the same time brought them into the abyss......
To the shock of the three of them, there was a huge laboratory underneath the tomb, and all the instruments were intact! These instruments are outrageously advanced and have never been seen before by the three of them!
At that time, the three of them were curiously tinkering in the laboratory, but ...... Unexpectedly, just because of a button she accidentally touched, there was a big explosion!
Her two best friends were blown to pieces at that moment, but she survived because of the strange armor she inadvertently wore when she entered......
The moment she woke up from the ward a month ago, she knew that everything was not a dream, she was still alive, but Zhixuan and Xiaoyu were dead......
If it weren't for her willfulness, I'm afraid everyone would still be happy together, right?
The evening breeze carried her thin figure, and the maple tree swayed its leaves wantonly, mixed with a faint fragrance of lilies, as if she could also read the sorrow in her heart.
"You can't rely on the death of both of them, so why be depressed? My dear little He'er! An arrogant voice suddenly filled the entire tree-lined pavement.
At this moment, everything seemed to be still, frozen in that moment.
Xia Xihe slowly raised her head, looked at the still surroundings, and was surprised for only a few seconds, and then returned to her previous coldness, probably because her heart was already dead, so she was already fearless, "Who are you?" How did you know about me? ”
"How do I know? Because I've been in that lab all along! It's just that you didn't notice it! ”
Xia Xihe's face suddenly surged with dark black airflow, from which the figure of a man slowly emerged, his face was evil, with a dissolute smile, wearing a loose crescent white middle coat, the neckline was open at will, exposing his strong chest.
Dark Moon's handsome face slowly approached Xia Xihe, "By the way, my name is Dark Moon, and it's a power that you can't understand......"
"Oh, what are you doing when you show up? If you want to kill me because I destroyed that lab, do it! I will be liberated soon. "She didn't want to live for a long time, and from the rubble of the explosion, the moment she was rescued by the search and rescue team, she didn't want to live.
Everyone thought that it was her life, but they didn't know that the armor that was blown up beyond recognition was the reason why she really survived, but she was no longer in the mood to explain to those people......
"How could I kill you?" Dark Moon blinked, seeing that Xia Xihe had the intention to die, she didn't dare to tease her anymore, thought for a moment, and said seriously, "Actually, the two of them are not dead." ”
"Don't lie to me, I saw it with my own eyes." Xia Xihe sneered.
Dark Moon sighed, knowing that if he didn't make it clear, it was estimated that this future master would probably not believe it, "It's true!" There was an explosion at that time, and the two of them were next to me, and the two of them had to be seriously injured or something, but it just so happened that the space that imprisoned me and the heart of time at that time was shattered by the one named Han Yu, and I could have rescued them, but who knew that the heart of time guy suddenly became confused and swept away the two people, although it is not clear which timeline they were swept up by that guy, but at least their lives are worry-free. ”
"Taken away by the Heart of Time?"
"Yes, you should be able to feel the advanced technology in that laboratory, those do not belong to this era, it is the heart of time across the timeline and temporarily stopped there, and it happened that because the girl named Han Yu touched something that should not be touched, it caused an explosion......" Dark Moon thought about it and estimated that Xia Xihe could not understand the heart of time, and explained, "The heart of time is to control the power of time, you can travel through the past and the future, and your two friends were also taken away by her." ”
Xia Xihe's eyes were slightly brighter, she looked at the dark moon, her voice trembled a little, "They are not dead, what you said is true?" ”
"Of course, I don't have to lie to you."
"Great! It's good that they're not dead, it's good if they don't die......" Xia Xihe's world seemed to suddenly light up!
Her voice couldn't help but choke a little, "I was abandoned by my parents in an orphanage as soon as I was born, and I became an orphan, I always thought I was a superfluous person, until I met the two of them, which filled my life with sunshine and vitality!" If they die, what's the point of me living in this world? Fortunately...... Luckily they are alive, as long as they are alive, more than anything else! ”
Orphan? That's right, she's the only one who has escaped the shackles of fate, but she's still too weak, Dark Moon thought quietly.
After venting his previous depression, Xia Xihe wiped away the tears in his eyes, thought about it and asked, "But why do you know Xiaoyu's name?" And I heard him call himself "Xiao He'er Xiao He'er" before, and obviously knew her name.
"This is nature, I am a child of the powerful dark element, what do I not know?" Dark Moon smiled smugly.
"Powerful? Can you take me to them? Xia Xihe suddenly looked at the dark moon expectantly.
"Uh...... That guy in the Heart of Time can travel through the past and the future, and I'm not quite sure where she went......" Dark Moon looked at Xia Xihe, who was a little disappointed, and couldn't help but smash her mouth, "But with what I know about her, I can probably guess where she is." ”
"Really...... Are you sure? Xia Xihe asked in surprise.
"Well, yes." Dark Moon put away her bohemian appearance and said solemnly, "I can take you there, but once it passes, my energy will run out, you have to promise me that when you go over there, you must find a dark chip for me to absorb and recover energy!" ”
"Dark chips?"
"Yes, it was a unique product of that era!" Dark Moon's face was a little solemn, he was the core of the dark element, controlling the real dark element, although powerful, but his ability was not in the category of time travel after all! The reason why he was able to travel through the future was also because of the power of time that he had been contaminated with for so many years!
Therefore, the space-time tunnel he created is likely to cause a collapse in the middle, or a teleportation coordinate offset orbit, etc., but the woman in front of her is her future master, she will not do anything in this era, only by going there, it is possible to return to the top!
Therefore, he was bound to send her there safely, but the price was all his strength......
"I don't know what it is, but I promise you'll find a dark chip to help you regain your energy!" Xia Xihe solemnly swore an oath.
"Well, this necklace is where I sleep after I run out of energy, and I sense it whenever I get close to the dark chip." Dark Moon tied a necklace around Xia Xihe's neck.
Xia Xihe reached out and touched the black curved gem embellished on the necklace, and nodded seriously.
"Also, don't let anyone see this necklace, or you'll be in danger." Dark Moon didn't forget to tell her again and again.
"Got it, don't worry!"
"Then I'll get started!" Dark Moon drank in a deep voice, and the whole person soared into the air, silver-white points of light gushed out between his hands, his fingers quickly flipped over the seal, and a huge silver-white circle of light slowly condensed out.
In the aperture are large and small irregular clocks, which run fast or slow with their own trajectory.
"Go!" Dark Moon let out a loud shout, and the whole person turned into a black mist and merged into the aperture.
I saw that the aperture lit up instantly, and all the clocks were running in one direction quickly!
"Come on in!" The sound of the dark moon in the aperture came.
Xia Xihe responded, and hurriedly pounced on the silver-white aperture in the air, as soon as Xia Xihe got closer, she felt the powerful suction from the aperture, which made her suck in in an instant!
The moment the silver-white aperture disappeared, everything that was still seemed to return to the previous loneliness.
The maple trees swayed wantonly with the evening breeze, and the golden-red leaves swirled in the sky and slowly fell to the ground.
Everything was the same as before, except for the lily that fell to the ground, indicating that its owner had indeed existed......
Another gust of wind blew up the fallen leaves on the ground and the postcard embedded in the lilies......
It reads: Without you, how cold this year's winter would be!
