Chapter 60: Late Night (39)
Ye Tianlang fell into a biting cold. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He vaguely remembered that he had fallen into the water with He Zhan, but he couldn't feel the feeling of water flowing around him, and he couldn't hear the sound of water.
Can't see, can't hear...... He could not receive any information from the outside world except for the cold that soaked his soul.
The last image he saw before he fell into the water kept echoing in his mind, and he had to think hard about his name before he could remember it.
He Zhan stabbed straight into Shen Luotian's heart.
Shen Luotian's hand also pierced his lower abdomen.
He Zhan, who didn't look like a human with a weird face, suddenly appeared on his side face with a large ~ piece similar to scales.
What are you doing, these two people, isn't this a lose-lose situation?
He wondered as he sank deeper into the ice.
In the cold nothingness, someone was faintly calling his name.
It was a woman's voice, shouting one after another. It's not urgent, but more like a mother waking up a child who is lying in bed. There is a little helplessness in the gentleness, and just listening to it, you can imagine that the person who speaks must be a beauty with gentle eyebrows.
Ah, that's exactly the type I like......
He thought in a daze, regaining consciousness in a cry of urgency.
Unlike what he remembers, he did not sink to the bottom, but lay flat on a huge block of ice floating on the surface of the water, floating and sinking with the waves.
The clothes on his body were damp~ wet and cold, and there were constantly water droplets along the corners of his clothes on the ice, quickly forming fine ice ballast, connecting his body with the ice.
"Hmm......"
What is this place?
As this thought appeared in his mind, his blurred vision gradually became clear.
Above is a vast starry sky, with a long Milky Way horizonting in front of you. Countless stars twinkled rapidly, and the frequency was dazzling.
The beastly roar echoed in his ears, and the one who sounded the sound must have been badly wounded, and the roar was full of pain and weakness.
There is also the despair of fighting to the death but not being able to survive.
He tilted his head with difficulty to look in the direction where the roar came from, but he groaned low in pain~ groaning.
After falling into the water, I felt only cold, and at most it was numbness caused by cold.
Now I woke up, and my body's consciousness was slowly recovering. First of all, the pain caused by being too cold.
It was obviously the injury caused by the cold, but the pain was as hot as a flame, and it stimulated his fragile nerves with a jump.
The scene in front of me is also in the same rhythm as the beating temples, dangling around, with a double shadow everywhere you look.
The one who is roaring...... Now I don't know if I should call it a human being, and it looks like it should be a battle.
The man had now completely lost his human form. The only reason to be able to tell what he was fighting was - there should be no one else in this place besides him.
He ran on all fours like a beast, covered with dark green scales, his already tattered clothes were cut more fragmented by the sharp scales, and only a few pieces of rags hung on his body, glittering with crystal ice; Thin, crimson hairs poked out of the gaps in the scales, fluttering slowly with his movements; At some point, long, curved nails grew on the scaly hands, like some kind of carnivorous beast, and the nails kept cutting through the ice, making a piercing grinding sound; As for the flesh on the back, it has completely disappeared, replaced by a thin layer of back armor, which looks like the shell of some kind of insect, and exudes a dark luster.
It's like a newborn larvae. The thin armor was soft and translucent, and if you looked closely, you could even see the vertebrae and wriggling internal organs in his body.
Dark red blood flowed from under the dorsal armor~ because of his violent movements, like a tangled red earthworm.
Ye Tianlang suddenly felt a little nauseous.
Fortunately, this did not last long, and the back armor was turning an opaque dark purple at a rapid rate, and it gradually hardened, and when it rubbed against the ice, it would no longer sink softly, but left a deep scratch on the ice.
Behind him was the young man who had been frozen before.
After observing for a while, Ye Tianlang was already very sure - although he looked the same, this person was definitely not the severely second-sick otaku Shen Luotian he knew.
Then again, this guy shouldn't be human...... bar.
Ye Tianlang was stunned as the man ripped off one of He Zhan's arms with his bare hands, and inserted another palm into the hard and sharp back armor, subconsciously covering his arm, and seemed to feel a sharp pain.
He Zhan opened his mouth wide and let out a wail, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth.
He didn't suffer any fatal injuries because of a hand stuck in his body, but bit the arm in front of him with full energy.
His teeth finally met a solid block of ice, and the young man who had just been close to him appeared in the distance behind him in the blink of an eye. With a piece of clear ice in his mouth, he slowly turned his head.
A yellowed tooth fell into the water, and without even splashing, it quickly sank to the bottom.
The dark purple blood trickled down the ice cubes and fell into the water, congealing into lumps that persisted for a long time.
The expression of the young man in white did not change, and he slowly turned his head and fell on Ye Tianlang, who was getting up from the ice.
There is no emotion ~ color in the pure black eyes, just like a god who looks down on all beings from above, calmly pronouncing the death sentence to those who are watching him.
That kind of indifference is frightening, but it also involuntarily awe-inspiring.
He raised a hand and pointed at Ye Tianlang, who was looking at him, from afar.
The slender ice blade flew out of the water, flying towards Ye Tianlang's eyebrows.
The thing was extremely fast, silently breaking through the air, and finally crashing into a slender white hand.
"If you want to go back, stay away."
The corners of the long-haired woman's skirt fluttered, stopping in front of Ye Tianlang, and the sharp ice blade passed through her palm, and then shattered inch by inch, falling to the ground with ice ballast.
"You...... Who's it? ”
Ye Tianlang covered his forehead in shock, sat on the ground and retreated a distance, and jumped up.
"You were the one who just fished me out of the water, how do you know my name...... Then again, you're human. ”
"Yes and no."
The woman directly ignored the most important question and spat out three words briefly. As she said this, she never looked at him, just stared defensively at the young man standing on the water.
The ice blade in her hand had shattered, but it had left a long, narrow pink wound.
No blood came out of the wound, and the thin transparent ice spread quickly down the wound to her arm, and finally disappeared into the sleeve of her coat.
"So who the hell are you?"
"Xia Bailu."
She spat out these three words briefly, and with a flick of her hand, she blocked the waves that fell on them.
Thin ice poked his head out of her collar and climbed up her thin white neck.
The ice floating on the surface of the water is like a small boat in a storm, shaking violently, and there is a danger of overturning at any moment.
It's also cool and slippery, it's not easy to bear, and it's really not suitable to be used as driftwood.
I may be a little seasick, can we change to a more personal means of transportation?
Ye Tianlang couldn't help but have some gastric juice churning up in his stomach, and a vast galaxy flashed in front of him.
To end. He thought.
"We don't have much time, so we'll just say it."
The woman glanced back at him and said quickly, "I'll send you back." You tell my son, I'll be here for a while, let him hurry up and come over with the key to lock the boundary monument, Xia Yi will send him here. ”
Yes? What are you talking about?
What boundary monument, what key, what road?
Who is your son? Is it someone I know?
Wait a minute...... You just said to send me back?
This sentence brought a lot of doubts and rushed to his mouth in a row, but the other party was obviously not ready to explain, and he didn't give him a chance to speak.
He watched as the woman in front of him stomped her feet on the ice, knocked over the ice floe under his feet, and threw him back into the biting icy water with a wave of his hand.
So you were going to throw me into the water, why did you fish me up in the first place?
Before it was dark again, Ye Tianlang shouted angrily at the woman in his heart.
How many times has this been today? You're just a tear-jerker!
Ye Tianlang, who had regained his senses, opened his eyes with great effort, and couldn't help but sympathize with himself for a moment.
When I saw He Zhan's patchwork corpse. For the first time.
At that time, a person who looked exactly like himself came out of the water, and he reached out and pushed it and fell into an ice hole.
I met He Zhan from the ice cave, the second time. Because he kept moving, he finally smashed the ice and released an amazing guy.
Met another inexplicable woman, the third time. She looks so gentle and kind, she is darker than anyone else when she moves, and she says that if she throws people into the water, she will throw them into the water, and she doesn't even give a hint.
This man completely ignored the fact that he stepped on someone else's head to collapse the ice, and very irresponsibly blamed everyone else, patted the dust on his clothes, and stood up again.
The clothes were soaked from falling water and covered with ice ballast...... Or maybe they didn't look like they were wet at all.
He was standing in a dark room, the cold wind whistling in his ears, and the walls in front of him were stained with dried and blackened blood.
Behind him is an empty operating table.
"Huh? Empty? ”
He looked at the operating table in front of him suspiciously, and the chaotic memory came back to his mind.
If memory serves, after the instructor and the child disappeared, I somehow ran to the operating room and saw the ...... lying there He Zhan's corpse.
I can't say it's a corpse, it seems to have opened its eyes at the end.
So it's a monster that's still alive?
The operating table in front of him was very old, with a thick layer of dust falling on the edges, and there was a humanoid trace in the center, but it was clean without even a trace of floating dust.
Did that thing run?
Confused, he turned to look at the closed metal door of the operating room.
The door seemed to be open when I came in before......
The atmosphere around me is too quiet, and I can only create a little movement by talking to myself.
"Who closed the door......"
Ye Tianlang walked towards the door of the operating room, and was immediately relieved after hearing the sound of fighting coming from outside the door.
Fortunately, there are people fighting, which means that there are people here besides the monster.
I just hope it's a reliable point.
He prayed to himself, and his hand pulled the metal door open.
The moment the door of the operating room opened, a wave of heat hit me. There was a scorching heat on the doorknob, and he gasped.
The hallway was already on fire.
"Yo!"
Xia Beifeng stood in the fire, and when he heard the voice, he turned around and greeted him with a smile: "Where are you from?" ”
"Instructor?"
"Well, it's me ......"
Xia Beifeng nodded lightly, and the smile on his face was very weird: "Is it me?" ”
"Or else?"
What else can it be if it's not me, a stand-in? Projection? Monster become?
"Maybe...... The guy I'm looking for now has been lying to me like you before, and I was able to see through it at a glance by my witty me. ”
Xia Beifeng smiled triumphantly, and almost wrote "Come and worship me" on his face.
"Oh."
It should be the one I saw in the operating room before.
It's a little thing that can be done like this. I've texted you spoilers, and it would be great if you could still be scammed.
Ye Tianlang nodded, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Becoming my way and lying to you?" Then you still believe me so easily, aren't you afraid that I'm fake? ”
"If it's fake, you'll definitely say it's true, but if it's true, you'll probably ask me if I'm worried about it."
Xia Beifeng cleared his throat and said seriously: "Of course I can tell who is real and who is fake, because I know my students!" ”
"Thanks for the compliment, I don't know why I don't feel moved at all."
Ye Tianlang looked him up and down with great suspicion: "Instructor, you don't have any conspiracy, why do you really know how to speak all of a sudden?" ”
"No, no! I didn't have any conspiracy, I just had an epiphany. ”
"Epiphany what?"
Ye Tianlang sneered: "You don't need to have an epiphany at all, I'm worried that I'm going to be unlucky when you realize it." ”
"Don't trust me so much, can you? Can you give your poor instructor a little more love! ”
Xia Beifeng patted his forehead painfully: "I was cheated by my master just now, so I deeply reviewed the mistakes I had made." Hearing you say that makes me even more remorseful. ”
"It's so rare, you still have a time to blame yourself!"
Ye Tianlang laughed in a strange tone, lowered his head and gestured with his eyes to the sea of fire between the two of them: "Serious, what is the situation, can you explain it?" ”
"We're looking for something to come out of, the thing that's pretending to be you. He was hiding in the water now and couldn't find it, so set a fire to see if it could burn him out. ”
A man dressed in a summer casual dress walks from the end of the hallway.
At a distance of more than ten meters, he stepped directly in front of Ye Tianlang's eyes in just one step, and stretched out a hand very politely, smiling, making people wonder if he was in the same group as Xia Beifeng.
"First time we met, I was Xia Yi."
Xia Yi held Ye Tianlang's hand, and with a little force, he quickly let go.
"By the way, I'm just here to help, don't confuse me with this guy."
He pointed to Xia Beifeng behind him, and his tone was very sincere.
"We just know each other, and he and I just know each other."
Ye Tianlang smiled and nodded, wondering where he had heard the name "Xia Yi".
"That's good, but don't compare me to some piece of trash."
Xia Yi patted his chest as if relieved: "Oh, by the way, this fire can't burn you." You can come out with confidence. ”
"Hey!"
Xia Beifeng leaned against the wall and shouted dissatisfiedly: "What are you two talking about, I'm still standing here, do you see it?" Is it appropriate to say such things in front of me? ”
"There's nothing out of place, we're telling the truth."
Ye Tianlang took a step forward, stepped on the fire, lowered his head and wondered, "Huh?" "Yes.
He slowly raised his head and asked Xia Yi beside him, "Is this ...... Also water? ”
Xia Yi nodded.
"It's not ordinary water, it's hiding here, be careful."
Ye Tianlang let out a calm "oh", and then stopped asking.
The jumping tongue of fire licked ~ licked ~ the corners of his clothes, although the temperature was high, it was not too exaggerated, and it was still within the tolerable range.
So he leaned against the wall with peace of mind, took out his mobile phone and observed the remaining power.
It can last for about half an hour, and I don't know when I will be able to finish and go home.
He seems to have an aura of "the sky is not shocked". Whether it's water that doesn't evaporate, or fire that doesn't burn people. These things that seem incredible to ordinary people, he picked them up and was only slightly surprised, and then quickly calmed down, what should he do. The speed of acceptance has been unbelievable.
"Look, I'll just say, this guy can't be pretended by others."
Xia Beifeng proudly stretched out a hand at Xia Yi: "I don't know my student yet, give money!" ”
Xia Yi: "......"
He quickly turned his head to look at the young man beside him.
Ye Tianlang nodded understandingly.
"Instructor, you actually bet me on others, it really makes me sad......"
He accepted Xia Yi's approving gaze without guilt, took a step forward, and stood beside his instructor: "I'm very angry, so I want to share the money I win." ”
Xia Yi: "......"
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Xia Beifeng's laughter sounded full of villain's ambition, and it was outrageous.
"I now believe that you are a student brought out by his own hands."
Xia Yi nodded with mixed emotions, and out of nowhere he found a stack of hundred-yuan bills and slapped them on Xia Beifeng's palm.
Xia Beifeng immediately lowered his head, counted five and handed them to his students.
"You guys!"
Xia Yi shook his head and sighed: "Young man, you can't ...... right"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a loud sound of water coming from the fire. A one-meter-high wave rises from the fire and extinguishes the flames as it falls.
The opponent who had been hiding in the fire for a long time finally brewed a big move that ended up together.
