Chapter 96: The Gap (6)
"Then I'll send you here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Shen Luotian turned his head and said to the person beside him who looked exactly the same.
"What should I say at this time......
He smiled awkwardly, his eyes rolled around, and he couldn't wait to take a closer look at every corner of the courtyard he was in: "Say goodbye?" Or take care? Bon voyage? β
I always feel that it is not right to say anything.
"You better stop talking."
The ghost king didn't know if he had imagined something bad, and his face became very ugly from the moment he heard the word "goodbye".
"If you are in this mood and talk nonsense to block me, it is better to find someone else to say a few serious words."
He raised his hand to cover the window in front of him, and the white frost flowers instantly dispersed, revealing the empty hallway behind the glass.
The red light at the door of the operating room was still on, and the cold mechanical sound of some electronic equipment inside could be faintly heard through the glass window.
"You've been hiding from her for so many years, and if you miss this opportunity, you'll really never see her again, so if you have anything to say, let's talk about it quickly. As for me...... If you don't have to look in the mirror more, you miss me. β
He took a step forward, half of his body melted into the wall, but he still couldn't help but turn back and educate the young man behind him: "I really don't know what you're afraid of, how can I have such a ...... you"
Speaking of which, a certain "big man" who has always boasted of being wise and invincible suddenly got stuck.
"There's such a promising junior as you!"
He looked at the empty snow, snorted strangely, turned and disappeared into the wall where the frost flowers were hung.
"Ahh This thing is finally gone! It's time for me to go back, too. β
Shen Luotian stared at the bright glass, stretched, yawned and muttered, "Why do I miss you when I'm idle?" You're too narcissistic. β
Frost flowers covered the inner layer of the glass window again, reflecting two blurred figures.
The silence in the courtyard was terrifying, and even the slightest sound of falling snowflakes could be heard.
The white breath exhaled from his mouth blurred in front of his eyes, casting a vague mist over the glass.
A vague shadow behind him slowly approached. Shen Luotian seemed to be unaware, approached the glass window, and straightened up his collar by the thin reflection.
The thin, thin shadow stood behind him, a hand stretched out to his shoulder.
"I didn't see anything."
As he said this, he heard his heart pounding.
The approaching steps of the man behind him stopped abruptly, and the half-outstretched hand hung in the air so awkwardly, not knowing whether to move forward or backward.
One at a time, two down, three times...... The rhythm of the heartbeats was a mess and connected. The surging blood quickly turned around the body a few times, dispelling the cold around him.
"If you leave now, I can act as if nothing happened."
He took a small step forward, almost clinging to the window.
His overly nervous and somewhat stiff facial expression was reflected in the glass, magnified into some kind of twisted and comical shape as he got too close.
"You saw it."
Behind him, a woman's gentle voice rang out, and then a soft, cold hand put on his shoulder.
Cold fingers brushed a small piece of skin on his neck, and he subconsciously shrank his neck.
It's so cold, how can it be so cold uh?
Shen Luotian thought to himself.
than anything I've come across before...... It's going to be cold.
"You've been like this since you were a kid. They all think you're miserable because you can see things that others can't, but only I know ......"
The woman behind her chuckled, but it sounded a little sad: "If you really don't want to see something, then she will never appear in front of you." No matter how hard she tries, as long as you don't want to, you'll never see, hear, or even feel. β
Shen Luotian whistled indifferently, put his hands ~ into his pockets, and looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky.
The figure of the ghost king appeared on the other side of the window, directly ignoring all obstacles, and strode into the closed door of the operating room.
The snowflakes falling in the sky were cold and soft, like the hand that covered the shoulder.
Fall cautiously, and don't even dare to use force, for fear of upsetting someone.
Pieces of snowflakes magnified infinitely in the eyes, and then slid down the side of the face, and after a short intersection, they returned to their own trajectory.
But the woman behind her is different.
She has been stubbornly waiting here, waiting for many years, just to hear someone give her a response.
Smile or be angry. As long as she can get such a response, she can leave without any worries, instead of hovering on the edge of life and death, and survive as an outlier.
The moment the woman's hand rested on his shoulder, he uncontrollably heard the unspoken thoughts of the woman's heart.
"You don't even want to dream of me."
The woman's voice trembled with great suppression, as if she was resisting the urge to cry: "Do you hate me so much? β
No.
Shen Luotian looked at the foggy night and exhaled a breath of white air.
Why should I hate you, you haven't done anything to be sorry for me.
I'm just a little ...... I'm just scared.
"I've been waiting for you. At first, I thought, I'll just listen to you call me; Later, I felt that it didn't matter what I was called, it would be nice to listen to you; After a long time, I thought again, what can I do if I don't speak, even if it is enough to see you smile at me. β
The woman's other hand was also on his shoulder, and she moved it cautiously forward, finally wrapping it around his neck.
The cold body was pressed against his back, but he didn't dare to get close to it. The woman cautiously tested, as if she were treating some precious treasure.
"Xiaobei comes to see me every year and tells me what has become of you. I feel sad every time I listen to it...... Thinking that it would be much better if I could be by your side and watch you grow. You must be disappointed that I forcibly brought you into this world and didn't grow up with you. β
There was a loud commotion in the hospital, as if something huge had collapsed inside.
The four-story building in front of him began to shake violently. The frost-covered wall tiles faded~ and gradually revealed its true appearanceβjust a ruined temple made of stone.
The yellow mud on the wall has become dark and broken because of the passage of time. The cracks were like open mouths, grinning and laughing at something, revealing a deep, dark throat.
"Throat" has a myriad of eyeballs. Densely huddled together, peeking at things outside with bad intentions, blinking too often to the point where they can trigger a dense phobia.
It had been too long since this dilapidated temple had been brought to the gap between the two realms. It has even developed its own consciousness and wants to devour everything that enters its body.
Whether it is life or death, whether it is a man or a demon.
The snowflakes falling in the air gradually turned into paper ashes in Shen Luotian's eyes. When it fell from a high altitude, it still carried a little spark, but when it fell to the ground, it completely extinguished, piling up into a thick gray-white color.
A flame burned out in the gray night.
The unique smell of paper ash lingers around. The choking smell of fireworks is so pungent that people can barely breathe, and the smoke that pours into their throats between breaths evokes bursts of itchiness, making people can't help coughing.
A swirling wind rose from Shen Luotian's feet, sweeping away the paper ash on his side, but it could not completely dispel the smell of ubiquitous qi.
"Your hands are so cold."
He looked up at the sky and said something like this without a head.
"yes, it's cold."
The woman behind her suddenly laughed, and said an extremely terrifying sentence in a normal tone.
"After all, I've been dead for so many years, and I've almost forgotten what heat is now."
"Don't you even ask me why I can see you again?"
"Because you want to see me again."
The woman let go of the hand around his neck and gently patted the ashes that had fallen on his clothes.
"I'm satisfied if you know you want to see me. As for why, you don't need to say it if you don't want to......"
Shen Luotian's shoulders moved. She immediately retracted her hand and took half a step back.
The young man in front of him didn't seem to be disgusted by such an intimate act, and just lowered his head and coughed twice.
Her eyes were bent into two sparkling crescents.
This woman has a pair of peach blossom eyes, and the slightly raised corners of her eyes have a hint of affection when she looks at people, which looks very similar to Xia Beifeng's eyes.
The same eyes, placed on a man, are a romantic temperament, and decorating a woman's face adds a bit of heroism to her softness.
"Of course, if you want to say anything, I'm here. No matter how much you say, I'll be sure to hear it. β
She stared at Shen Luotian's back, which was much taller than her, and asked cautiously, "Xiaotian, do you want to tell me?" β
The back was somewhat blurred by the dim light from the temple, but the upright momentum was not damaged at all.
The young man remained silent, silent, and refused to look back, only the long hair that hung down behind his back shook slightly.
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it."
The woman sighed a little disappointed, but soon laughed again: "After all, when you grow up, you don't need to tell me everything clearly, right?" β
"Even if I wasn't growing up, I wouldn't tell my family everything."
Shen Luotian pulled his hand out of his coat pocket, stretched out his front, and caught a piece of paper ash falling from the sky.
"I've been a tough kid since I was a kid, and some of me should have complained to you about it a lot."
The ash was still a warm orange-red color when it landed on his hand, with faint flames remaining on the edges. When the last trace of spark was extinguished, the color on the paper ash quickly receded, leaving only a piece of ash that shattered at the touch of it, and only the warm afterglow proved that the flame had ever existed.
He flipped his hand, and the piece of paper ash shattered into the shape of powder, and fell to the ground with a stagger.
The little residual warmth on their bodies will soon be gone, along with the fact that there shouldn't be a gap.
By then, probably no one will remember that they ever burned.
"When he was a teenager, he talked a little bit more, but he basically said that you were not in good health and needed to be taken care of or something. When you grow up, you gradually talk less, and if you want to say it, you praise you more. Sometimes you will tell me funny things like you quarreling with your master. Every time I listen to it, I find it interesting and want him to talk more, but unfortunately there is not enough time. β
"Forget it, there's no need to say nice things for him."
Shen Luotian's shoulders trembled, as if he was laughing silently.
"I know a little bit more about him than you do. Your eldest son, I guess he complained behind my back, and he couldn't make any noise with me, so he could only hide in his house in the middle of the night to find his mother, anyway, if no one knows, it will not be ashamed. β
"Xiaobei, he cares about you very much."
"I know."
He replied very simply, without the slightest hesitation, and he could not hear the perfunctory meaning, so that he had to believe it.
The woman froze for a moment, and the little worry that had been hidden on her face finally disappeared completely.
"It's good to know, then I won't nag, you won't be annoyed."
"It's not too annoying to say these words now, after all, I don't have anything to do here."
As long as you don't babble about me playing the game.
Shen Luotian stared at the window in front of him - the bright glass window of the hospital had disappeared along with the original shape of the temple, and what remained was a semicircular window hole, not even a window frame, let alone more advanced things like window paper or glass.
"Besides, I won't have a chance in the future, just say more if you want to say anything now, I'll listen."
When the woman heard this, she fell silent.
Dirty mud continued to fall as the ground swayed, and soon the window opening, which had been fairly flat at the edge, expanded into a black hole with a very random shape.
Xia Beifeng's panicked and confused figure flickered past the entrance of the cave.
Then followed by Xia Yi, who followed him with an impatient face.
The flames from the black dragon's mouth lit up the darkness, and it was very dazzling when viewed from the window. But the group of them went back and forth in the same place.
Shen Luotian watched them spin around a dozen times in a place of less than five square meters, and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Actually, I occasionally think about what you should say if you see it."
After Shen Luotian finished laughing, he still turned his back to the woman behind him, but he unconsciously relaxed his tone when he spoke.
"Of course, I don't think about it often, after all, I'm also quite busy, and it's a lot to think about once or twice a year. Anyway, every time I think about it, I don't come up with any results, I guess I just think ...... I don't know what to say when I really meet, it's better not to see, maybe you can figure it out on your own and go first. β
"You don't know what to say, but you can't help but want to see me first, so it seems like I won."
"Uh-huh, you won."
Shen Luotian raised his hands to surrender: "You are really patient, I admit defeat." β
It's a pity that I'm going to leave after seeing it.
The woman thought regretfully, stretched out her hand forward, and asked expectantly, "Can I hug you?" β
"I said I can't just hug it?"
Shen Luotian took out a lighter from his coat pocket, lit it and threw it into the black hole in front of him.
He had a helpless expression, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his tone was a little indifferent: "Hug it, hug it, you're not afraid of pain." β
"It's all dead, what's there to be afraid of in pain."
The woman reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed the side of her face against his back, just in time to hear the heartbeat in her ears.
The heartbeat that exists in the chest of a living person is full of ~ vitality of life. It sounded calm and powerful, and it made her feel at ease for no reason.
All sorts of thoughts were churning through her mind. One moment I felt happy, the other I felt sad, and I felt a little angry when I thought that the bear child refused to see her.
These complex feelings are mixed together, and they can't withstand the huge sadness in my heart.
Even the terrifying aura transmitted from the people she embraced seemed so insignificant under this sadness.
Actually, it should be very painful. This person contains ~ some kind of power that is too powerful, making an undead soul like her fearful, but involuntarily giving birth to a sense of intimacy. But when you get closer, you will find that it is a flame that can consume everything.
Her arm seemed to be burning with a scorching fire, and even though there was no longer a medium to call her "body", she could still feel the pain of the heat and pain.
It seems that it didn't take long for my son to grow so tall and become a reliable man.
That's fast!
She raised her head and looked up at Shen Luotian, who was more than a head taller than him, and suddenly felt that even if she was burned like this, it didn't seem so terrible.
"You think I'm too tall because you're too short."
Shen Luotian sighed, lowered his head and held her trembling hand: "It's so close, I can hear what you're thinking, isn't that not good." β
"I don't mind."
I mind it, okay! Can you please keep yourself private?
Shen Luotian sighed helplessly, letting her hold her like this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Xia Beifeng in the window bent down and picked up the lighter that fell at his feet, held it in his hand and fiddled with it for a while, and finally lit it.
"This thing doesn't explode at the touch of a button."
Shen Luotian heard his brother's voice.
The hand around his waist also loosened at this moment.
The woman took two steps back, looking at her two sons, who were very close but seemed to be far apart, with a gentle smile on her face.
At this moment, the dim light radiating from the flames~ just illuminated the two people across the window.
The expensive windproof lighter has been used by them as a lighting tool, and it is strange to think about it.
The faint blue flame is also often complained of not being bright enough. It's not as good as a flashlight, a mobile phone screen, a candle, a plastic lighter or even a match for two dollars in a roadside shop.
Xia Beifeng looked at Shen Luotian's close face, and took half a step back in fright.
"Lie ~ groove! When were you here, just waiting to scare me? β
He pressed his violently beating heart, took a deep breath, and shouted with his eyes glaring, "Can't you make a sound to remind me in advance?" A black face suddenly came out, and the heart ~ the patient is estimated to be directly scared to death by you! β
Under the faint blue light, the faces of both of them were covered with a strange and eerie atmosphere. Even if it was originally a gentle and friendly smile, Rong Du turned into some kind of malicious smile against the backdrop of the strange scenes around him.
"You can't hear me if I spoke up early."
Shen Luotian stretched out his hand towards the person inside the window: "This thing that Yun Ze made, if the people on both sides don't touch it, they won't feel the existence of the other party even if they are face-to-face." If I hadn't thrown a blood-stained lighter over just now, you might still be spinning around in there. If you don't thank me, forget it, I'm embarrassed to say that I scared you. β
"I would have died here if I knew I would, right?"
Xia Beifeng laughed and held the hand stretched out in front of him: "I'll say it for you, don't scold me in your heart." β
He lifted the lighter, climbed over the low mud wall, and landed in the courtyard, his heavy movements bringing up a cloud of gray paper ash.
"What are these ...... on the ground?"
He covered his mouth and nose, dodged the fluttering paper ashes in disgust, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the figure behind Shen Luotian, and his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
