Chapter 91: The Gap (1)

The pain that spread all over his body gradually receded, and Shen Luotian opened his eyes and found himself in a sea of fire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The surging heat wave came to his face, and his eyes stinged, and he involuntarily burst into tears.

The water in the body seems to have been evaporated by the flames, and even the tears are just wet~ moistening the eye sockets, and there is no follow-up power.

It's so miserable that I can't even cry.

He secretly mourned his current situation, but smiled for some reason.

Can't you just give me an instruction manual or something when you give me something?

The Ghost King's expression when he handed him the flame resurfaced, and if he remembered it now, it would be a schadenfreude laugh.

There was a bright red mark in the palm of his hand. At first glance, you can vaguely see traces of flames flickering under the flesh, but on closer inspection, you can only see the pink color that appears because the blood is flowing too fast.

The raging heat in his body had gradually subsided, turning into a temperature similar to a low-grade fever.

It's warm, but it's sour, and it doesn't have much strength. I can't say how painful it is, it's just very uncomfortable. Every bone exudes a sense of exhaustion.

It was a feeling that was familiar to him.

It's probably the feeling of sleeping for half an hour after clearing the game overnight, and being forcibly woken up for breakfast.

I was obviously tired, but I didn't feel any pain. I have the heart to sleep again, and my brain still hurts; I want to get up and eat, but I don't have an appetite.

"Usually at this time, I choose to lie directly on the bed~ and continue to pretend to be a corpse."

He clenched his fists and looked behind him.

The blazing flames surrounded him, and it was clearly not a good place to lie down.

The knee seemed to be kneeling in a hard, cold place, reaching forward but not touching the end, only the stinging pain caused by the faint temperature.

Speaking of which, I just heard what those two guys said.

He didn't know what to call the two strangers with whom he was inextricably linked.

There are many speculations about the delicate relationship between them, and I feel that none of them are reliable. According to his usual personality, he won't care about this kind of unclear and unclear thing that has nothing to do with him.

But this thing ......

He tentatively stretched out his hand forward, but only a thought moved in his heart, and the flames around him gathered towards his palm.

"Looks like we still have to take care of it."

He whispered as the flames that blocked his vision dissipated, and the frozen "sea" reappeared in front of him.

The Ghost King was standing not far in front of him, half-kneeling on the ground picking up something.

"What are you doing?"

Shen Luotian supported the ice with his hand, feeling the meaning in the ice running down his arm to the Heavenly Spirit Cover, but suddenly came to his senses.

He squinted his eyes and looked forward, and there seemed to be something shiny scattered on the ice that was already reflecting the sparkling snow.

Finely fragmented, gathered into the shape of a human body.

"I'm collecting my own body."

The Ghost King raised his hand and showed him a ball of flames in his palm.

"By the way, let's try to make my own body into a relic, right?"

Shen Luotian laughed and stood up from the ice with difficulty.

After kneeling in a cold place for so long, although he didn't feel much cold, his body felt very honestly.

"My leg is numb."

He sighed and jumped twice on the ice.

There was a small crunch on the knee joint, which had been numb from the cold.

"I won't get rheumatism when I'm old."

He asked the Ghost King worriedly.

"No, it won't."

The Ghost King glanced at his knees with slanted eyes, and his firm tone was convincing: "Absolutely not." If you really have rheumatism, you come to me. ”

"Where am I looking for you!"

Shen Luotian laughed back.

He moved his stiff legs~ and stood in front of the ghost king, reached out and pressed the head that was swaying up and down on his waist, and said through gritted teeth: "After we get out here, you will go to my mother to reincarnate as me." Where are you when I'm old! ”

"Don't you know?"

The Ghost King took the hand that was pressed on top of his head and said slowly, "I mean, young man, remember to take care of your body. Otherwise, when you get old, when all the injuries and illnesses that you didn't take seriously when you were young come out, you can only scold your former self when you regret it. ”

"If I didn't know what you are, I would have almost believed you."

Shen Luotian moved for a while, and felt that his legs seemed to be better, so they squatted down together to help him pick up things.

Falling on the ice was a shimmering fragment of red crystals. It is hard and cold to the touch, and because of the temperature, it has been fused with the thick ice, and it is impossible to pick it up with ordinary methods, so you can only break the ice first, and then pull them out little by little by hand.

It's very fragile, it crumbles into slag when touched, and before it's finished, it merges back with the ice.

Shen Luotian only worked for thirty seconds before he ran out of patience.

"What about others?"

He pointed to the shiny fragments under his feet and asked the Ghost King, "That little friend who just saw this beautiful new world was brutally strangled by you like this?" ”

"Do you want to keep it?"

The Ghost King raised his head in surprise and looked at the young man opposite: "He is bent on killing you and replacing him himself, don't you know?" ”

"I guessed a little."

Shen Luotian picked up the tiny ice crystals one by one and threw them into the flame in the palm of the ghost king's hand, watching them melt into liquid and merge with the bright beads in the flame.

Fragments are constantly being melted into the beads, but instead of increasing in size, they are getting smaller and smaller.

The bright red color also deepened, making it look more and more like a drop of blood.

"That thing...... It's the consciousness that comes from the Stygian Sea. ”

Shen Luotian gathered away the casualness on the ground, and said casually: "Because there has never been anything other than it here before to use as a reference, it has never generated its own consciousness until you send your body here......"

He stopped talking abruptly.

"You guessed it, he's not dead, he's just going back."

The Ghost King explained without raising his head: "It is originally something that can devour everything, and without the boundary monument I put here and my own corpse, he would never have been able to condense his own shape." ”

"You already knew it, that's why he left a fire in his heart, just for this time."

"Pretty much."

The Ghost King nodded: "If you don't come, I can also lure out that little spark and burn him." I didn't expect to meet you, but it saved me a lot of trouble. ”

"Then you should thank me?"

Shen Luotian flipped his wrist, and a dim flame appeared in his palm: "If it weren't for me here, there would be nowhere to go for the fire you set out, and after it was burned, others could only turn around and burn yourself." ”

"Nope."

The ghost king threw the fire ball in his hand with the beads in it into Shen Luotian's palm: "If you are not here, I can still burn Yun Ze, anyway, he also has a little relationship with this thing, enough to burn it for a while." ”

"It's pretty good."

Shen Luotian took the fire ball and carefully looked at the blood-red bead in the flames: "How does it feel to collect the corpse for yourself?" ”

"It's not as fun as you think."

The Ghost King summoned his long sword and thrust it into the ice, instantly shaking out the fragments that were still frozen in the ice.

They were swept up by a gust of wind and threw themselves into Shen Luotian's palm from all directions, compressing the color of that blood bead more and more deeply.

"As a result, we have to go back to Yun Ze now. Then find a way to clean him up. ”

"And you can no longer use this ultimate killer weapon that only 'living people' can use, you can only rely on me, can you?"

"No, I don't have any faith in you."

"Then I'll be relieved."

Shen Luotian patted his chest and let out a sigh: "Since that's the case, then I don't have to contribute, right?" ”

"The beauty you think."

The ghost king snorted coldly, raised his sword against his chest, and nodded vigorously: "Even if it's cannon fodder, give me a job~ work, little cub!" ”

"And please don't have faith in me."

Shen Luotian proudly puffed up his chest and faced the sharp blade, his expression was firm and resolute, and his tone was sonorous and powerful.

"I'm going to let you down."

"I'm relieved when you say that."

The ghost king patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Then this important task is entrusted to you, please die quickly, don't be embarrassed in front of my old opponent." ”

***************************************************

Xia Beifeng vaguely felt like a piece of dirty laundry thrown into the washing machine, sinking up and down in a violent spinning that made people dizzy and nauseous, and shook until he completely lost consciousness.

When he stepped on the hard ground again, he even had the illusion of being in a different world, and even the most basic and simple action of standing felt a little unfamiliar.

"This is ......"

He looked up in confusion and looked ahead, his eyes full of surprise.

There were a few twinkling stars hanging in the deep night, a full moon hanging in the sky, and the wind swept large~ snowflakes on the floor tiles.

Standing in the midst of the snow and wind is a brightly lit hospital.

Snowflake-covered glass windows reflect the comings and goings of doctors and nurses dressed in white.

The red light in the operating room on the first floor looked a little distorted through the windows on the first floor, and it looked more like an ominous blood light.

Behind him was a courtyard wall made of red bricks, and in the round guardhouse next to the metal gate, an old man was holding a newspaper in his hand, and was bowing his head, his head dozing little by little.

Round eyes hung on his face, faltering with his movements.

A little farther away, there were two or three diners at the food stall outside the hospital, wrapped in coats and curled up, eating something with their backs to him.

The chubby proprietress lifted the steamer, and the hot buns steamed, melting the falling snowflakes.

"How did we end up here?"

He turned his head and asked Xia Yi, who was following behind him.

"What's going on?"

Xia Yi turned his head to look at Lu Rao.

"Uh......"

Lu Rao blinked, looked up at the red letters hanging on the white building, and the confused and innocent expression on her face looked very understated at this time.

"What is this place?"

"Hospital."

Xia Beifeng replied briefly: "If I'm not mistaken, this is still a hospital that was just burned down by someone." ”

"And what is a hospital?"

Fei Yan hung on Xia Beifeng's shoulder, raised his head and looked at the snowy sky: "I haven't seen snow for many years. ”

"If you want to see the snow so much, how about I bury you in the snow?"

Xia Beifeng grabbed it from his shoulder, held it in his hand, and shouted up to the sky: "Can anyone explain the current situation to me!" ”

"This is where the Stygian Sea meets the present world."

The woman's gentle voice sounded from behind him, and a cold hand tapped at the back of his neck.

There was wet ~ moist snow water flowing down the back of his neck into the collar, all the way across the back, and he couldn't help but shiver twice.

He was shocked and wanted to turn his head to look at the person behind him who was talking, but the hand held his head down.

That hand is not big, but the slender fingers contain ~ great strength, and it is hard to press a big man like Xia Beifeng to turn his neck.

"Don't look back."

The woman whispered in his ear, "If you turn back now, you won't be able to go back." ”

"I ......"

Xia Beifeng opened his mouth, and after spitting out a word, he choked up and couldn't speak.

"Oops, I know you miss me."

The woman laughed softly, and her cold palm pressed against his palm: "Mom has been watching you...... It's good that they've grown so big. ”

"I'm touched that you've been looking at me."

Xia Beifeng tried his best to pretend that he didn't care, but when he spoke, his voice betrayed his excited mood: "But don't you think that when you say this kind of thing, the atmosphere suddenly changes from a touching mother-son reunion to a horror movie?" After all, you've been dead for so many years. If you're still looking at me, it's a little scary to think about it. ”

"Hehe......"

The woman behind her laughed very face-savingly, held his hand and shook it twice: "I haven't watched it all the time, parents always have to leave some free space for them when their children grow up, don't they?" ”

"I haven't raised a child, how could I know about such a thing."

Xia Beifeng said as he pretended to turn around unintentionally.

"Even if you are given free space, you have to be obedient."

Xia Bailu laughed softly and took half a step back.

The drop of water dripping on his back instantly emitted a biting chill, freezing his brain blank, and his half-tilted head stopped moving.

"I told you not to look back, why do you have to make me angry, kid."

The hand that was clasped with him disappeared in an instant, and the woman's voice was still ringing not far away, but the familiar aura that was close at hand just now disappeared cleanly.

"Since you don't listen to me, if you have to watch it, I can only dodge."

The stiff neck finally regained consciousness.

Xia Beifeng immediately turned around, only to see snowflakes fluttering behind him and a lonely street lamp.

"Look no further."

Xia Bailu's voice sounded in the empty snow, and a series of footprints appeared in the snow ahead.

"I'm not going to let you see it."

The footprints turned around twice in place, creaking the thick snow.

"Now that you see me, you can't go back, and I don't want my son to stay with me."

Xia Beifeng clenched his fists violently and walked forward.
