The countermeasures office announced: "(vague) is now designated as a natural disaster source type A, and it is immediately removed." ”

"Hurry up and eliminate her, she's already ...... There is no help. ”
Save... Save... I......
"Why...... Why? Sister ......"
Help me......
"Hakuei, devour her!"
Help me......
Obey your own ** ruin miè, the world you hate.
"No!" Yumi woke up from her nightmare with a scream, her hands over her tearful eyes, and she curled up with a slight sob.
After calming down, Yumi got up and looked around. I saw that there were crater-like impact marks around me. After a while, she remembered the qiē she had given birth to before. The moment she jumped out of the airship, she successfully grabbed Su Qin's hand and was about to throw him back into the boat. At the same time, she was also ready to resist Su Qin's attack, and the strange thing was that the tail behind him didn't have any attack intent at that time.
After a moment's shake of her mind, she lost the chance to save people. At this moment when all thoughts were lost, Yumi suddenly felt Su Qin hugging her from behind, even at such a critical juncture, the girl still felt a sense of security for no reason. It was as if the man behind him who should have been unconscious would solve all the problems as he had done in so many crises before.
At the last second before landing, a dazzling spiritual light suddenly burst out from Su Qin's body. These forcibly extracted subspace forces were transformed into pure "force" under the action of his decisive will, and the spherical force field that opened greatly offset the damage caused by the impact, but the remaining concussion still made the two fall into a coma.
Yumi shivered from the cold night of the Sahara Desert, and she instinctively leaned back only to feel a warm touch behind her. Turning her head, she saw Su Qin standing motionless behind her. It seemed that he had lost consciousness again after a brief lucidity, and the forcible use of psionic energy had made his situation worse, and now even his tail was hanging weakly on the ground.
In the spiritual vision, Yumi clearly saw that Su Qin's soul had become more and more broken because of his previous reckless behavior.
“…… What a fool. Yumi sighed, his eyes slightly wet while the corners of his mouth unconsciously appeared a smile.
Although it is unknown how long they were unconscious after landing, the sun did not seem to have risen from the pitch black night sky overhead, in other words, the opportunity to lift the curse did not disappear.
Patting his sour arm, Yumi just wanted to get up and support Su Qin. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her ankle. Looking down, I saw that the originally smooth and slender ankle bone was swollen at the moment, and the bruises under the skin from blue to purple seemed to be extraordinarily oozing. These are not the most troublesome parts, and the white broken bones that puncture the skin can be seen in the back of the side, which is clearly a comminuted fracture caused by the violent impact.
Looking at the injured ankle, Yumi, who realized that he might lose a leg, took a deep breath and resolutely put Su Qin's arm on his shoulder. The injured leg trembled incessantly under the effect of severe pain, but was forcibly pressed down by Yumi.
"Now...... Isn't...... Time to rest! ”
Yumi gritted his teeth and held Su Qin little by little, moving towards the pyramid not far away. The leg injury and the burden on their shoulders made their progress slower and slower. After coming out of the jungle, Yumi let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground. Before landing on the ground, she turned around to protect Su Qin's unconscious body.
"It's too heavy, you guy." The impact left Yumi in a cold sweat on her forehead, and she felt like her injured ankle had been sawed through by a saw. But by this time, the sun's rays had quietly appeared behind the pyramids. The huge pyramid casts its own equally large reflection on the two of them, and this shadow is gradually shortening as the sun rises. They were about to be exposed to the sun, and it was only the last day before the curse was made.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, the rising of the sun was seen as the beginning of a new day. When the sun god Ra's divine boat rises from the "Nu Holy Water", it symbolizes the beginning of a new day and the arrival of day. Based on this, it can be inferred that if the curse on Su Qin's body will explode in an instant the moment the sun shines.
"How can I give up in such a place, I don't want to lose my companions anymore." Huang Quan's lips were bitten by herself, and she grabbed Su Qin's collar and tried to drag him into the pyramid. There was a tooth-aching sound in her badly injured ankle, but she didn't hesitate to keep moving forward. More and more blood flowed from Yumi's wounds, leaving a meandering river of blood on the yellow sand she walked behind her.
The shortening shadow of the pyramid gradually approached the two who were slowly advancing, and at the same time, the spiritual energy was also further washing Su Qin's soul, and the strange tail behind him began to loom, revealing a strange glass texture as if some kind of spiritual substance was dissipating.
The injuries on the feet have gradually become painless, which most likely means that the problem of tissue necrosis is more serious. But Yumi still didn't stop, and the national treasure worth 10,000 gold, Angang Boy Chedang, was used by her as a cheap crutch to prop up on the sand, and the rough gravel rubbed scratches on the delicate scabbard.
Yumi felt his head become groggy and his vision began to blur. Now she didn't even have the strength to take a bigger step, so she could only drag Su Qin to the pyramid in small steps, small steps, and slow steps.
The sun rose higher and higher, and finally passed the towering spire. Brilliant light shines on the square in front of the pyramid where the statue of Anubis is placed, sweeping away all shadows. Looking at the sun that was close at hand, Yumi smiled with joy, and after paying a heavy price, they finally climbed into the pyramid before the curse was made. At the same time as the sun rose, the Grim Reaper bracelet on the wolf scorpion body also untied automatically with a crisp sound, and even Su Qin's pale face was a little bloody.
Seeing this, Yumi let out a sigh of relief before he began to deal with his injured ankle. At this time, she realized that her innate spiritual power was being suppressed by some strange power that permeated the pyramid, so that she could not cast any spells. That doesn't seem entirely bad, though. That power also severed the link between Su Qin and the subspace, and without the continuous washing of the power of the subspace, his soul on the verge of being shattered gradually stabilized.
Affected by this, the strange tail behind Su Qin became shining again, the rows of metal carapace refracted a dazzling silver-white light in the sunlight, and the sharp black thorns at the end also revealed a faint cold light.
"I won't let you run away so easily until I'm done with the favor." Holding Su Qin's head on his lap, Yumi's face showed twelve points of exhaustion.
“…… That's a real pleasure for me. Su Qin quietly opened one eye and replied in a whisper:
"When did you wake up?" Yumi's face flashed a hint of redness, and he asked pretending to be calm.
"I woke up when I unfastened the bracelet." Su Qin looked at his newborn tail curiously, although it was a completely unfamiliar limb, for some reason he was able to use it flexibly. It is even possible to do the delicate operation of writing on the sand with slender spines at the end.
"Then you ......" Yumi didn't push away the tired guy leaning on his lap, though he looked unpleasant.
"Because the sun is so comfortable."
"What a cunning fellow,"
Looking at the pair of purple eyes with a faint smile above his head, Su Qin closed his eyes slightly, as if enjoying the long-lost sunshine.
"The reason is a bit complicated......"
