Chapter 13: A Distant Message
I don't know how long he slept, but Bing felt as if something was touching his head. It felt very comfortable and reassuring, but at the same time, there was an indescribable taste stuck in his heart. It's like a feeling of peace of mind and fear at the same time.
Ice Spirit woke up! Will anyone be touching his head at this time? Rei fell asleep in bed, and Long Ling slept at the window. There's no one else in this dormitory! Could it be that the infected have already come in?!
He hurriedly looked up and saw that there were no infected people in the room......
"And who was touching my head just now?" Bingluo turned his gaze to the bed where Rei was sleeping, only to find that the blanket that had wrapped Rei had now been lifted, and Rei inside was no longer there!
"Leigh! Where have you been?! You shouldn't just run out on your own! Ice Spirit immediately stood up and turned to the dormitory door, he was going to find her! He has already lost a friend and must not lose a second one! That heart-wrenching feeling is too much at once.
Bing didn't pull the door, nor did he move his footsteps. Because by the time he turned around, he had already discovered his target. Bai Longli is still in this room. She was standing in the doorway of the dormitory, one paw on the doorknob, her back to the ice, motionless......
"Great...... Leigh, you almost scared me to death. Why don't you rest in bed? Now you need to get some rest......" Rei didn't respond to Bingluo's question, no, maybe she wanted to go back but didn't.
As soon as Bingluo's words fell, Rei seemed to turn her head. However, she only spun a little bit and didn't spin again, and Bing Spirit didn't see her expression. But judging by her slightly trembling body, she seemed to feel very painful. An ominous premonition immediately appeared in Bingluo's heart! He also felt this premonition when he saw the artificial dragon [02]! Could it be ...... Isn't that right?
Ice's claws began to tremble, and his vision was blurred by the wet droplets. But he still didn't believe that this would be the truth, and he still held on to a glimmer of hope and opened his mouth again: "Li...... You...... Don't scare me...... Say something! Beautiful! Say something! Please...... Even if it's just a sentence...... Please! Say 'I'm fine,' say 'I don't want to walk out of this door,'...... Please...... Say yes......! ”
Leigh still didn't answer. But her back, which used to rise and fall slightly, is now completely quiet, and there is no longer the movement that rises and falls, representing the survival of life.
Bingluo held his breath and looked at Lei. The room was silent, as if the whole world had stopped. He pricked up his ears, hoping to hear something in the silence of the world of death—the sound of breathing.
How he wished he could hear Leigh's breathing...... As long as there is the sound of breathing, it means that Leiz is still alive! All his previous speculations were fantasies of his own panic. Then they can talk and laugh together again.
Heard, very slight breathing...... As well as two heartbeats throughout the room...... No! And so on, there's a heartbeat sound, a heartbeat that seems to be something that resonates with it in general, very powerful......
Bing Soul was also surprised by his discovery, the dragon spirit is a spirit dragon, that is, the soul of a dragon that has passed away, it is impossible to have a heartbeat, so who is this third heartbeat?
"Ice...... You...... If...... Don't wear a communicator...... As...... Liberty Dragon...... Yes...... Better looking......"
"Leigh!" Just as Ice Spirit uttered one last call, Reichi pushed the door open.
And the artificial dragon [02] outside the door immediately pounced on her. Rei ran out of the door, and one turned around and swept down [02], and then pounced, and the two dragons fell to the ground together.
In the next moment, she stretched out her tail and jerked against the door, and the ice spirit was once again in a confined space......
"No ............! Beautiful! Icespirit rushed madly towards the door, pushing it hard. But there seems to be something on the other side of the door, and it can't be pushed open! He hurriedly looked out from inside the cat's eye.
After a while, a figure slowly stood up, it was [02]! A new blood-red color was added to her mouth...... That...... What about Li? Where is she?
Ice Spirit desperately searches for Leigh's body in this limited world. Soon, he found her. Not long after [02] stood up, another figure staggered to his feet, but the four wings of this figure were all open, and the shape was all beautiful.
But all this was nothing, looking at the thing that was waving its teeth and claws at the cat's eye, Bing Spirit couldn't control his tears anymore...... He no longer felt the fear, and the intensity of the grief had made it impossible for fear to contain the slightest......
"Why the hell is that! What the hell is wrong with them! Why do you want to hurt them like this?! Who the hell is it? Who made it all happen! Who is it?! Bingluo sat back at his desk, listening to the knock on the door. At this moment, he was already confused by fear. He even wondered if he should go and open the door and let them in.
Suddenly, a piece of paper placed on the table caught Bingling's attention. The paper was pressed with a pencil and was covered with handwriting.
But the tears in his eyes made it impossible for Bing Luo to make out the words on it, and he roughly swept the paper from the beginning, and at the end of the paper, he clearly recognized three words—Bai Longli.
It reads as follows:
Binglu, I wish I could call you that to your face again. But I know how far my body has become. Actually, Bing Soul should be very clear, what the hell am I...... Yes, I'm also an artificial dragon.
I thought, maybe I'm going to have to fix it, because I'm the trigger for this crisis.
Looking at you in your sleep, I've wanted to tell you the truth several times. I hope you can forgive me......
[03] It was once said that the terrible thing about this virus is not its lethality, but its terrifying transmission route. Although [03] didn't say it at the time, I knew it very well...... The genetic virus has no effect on me......
I don't want to see you and everyone who stayed in Thundering Mountain become like this, I can hardly imagine that one day everyone will become a part of that group of infected, if I think so, I'm afraid I'll be scared to death before my power awakens...... (laughs.)
Remember [03] why you wanted to kill me? Do you remember what she said about me? Yes, the Devil...... I was the one who started the destruction of the West City, and I had already become a demon by then.
In fact, as early as when I was in Xicheng, my fate was already sealed.
I just had a dream in which I dreamed that I was walking down the street, and all the way over, there were corpses everywhere, both human and dragon. And I don't feel anything wrong at all. In my dreams, surrounded by blue souls, I had become a bloodthirsty monster through and through. It was at that time that I realized that I could never come back.
[03] It's not unreasonable to want to kill me, anyone has the right to escape from fear. I think [03], who is also an artificial dragon like me, just wants to get rid of this dark fear of death as soon as possible. At that time, maybe it would be happier for me to be killed by her, because then I might not kill anyone else. But I'm still sorry for her, because I was an ally with her, but I bit her......
Now I know why [03] I screamed so desperately after I bit her...... I hurt her, and she could have escaped, but she decided to get rid of me as a danger, so that I wouldn't hurt Ice Spirit and the others......
I just hope she doesn't get infected......
Bingluo, it's really nice to get to know you and Dia. I feel like I'm already the happiest dragon in the world. No one has ever been so nice to me. I didn't like to talk before, but with you and Dia by my side, I've gradually changed. I love the change, it makes me like myself more. You are all good dragons, and in this world, apart from myself, I believe that you are the only one who is closest to me......
My time is almost up...... My head was already a little dizzy, and my eyes were spent.
I didn't dare look in the mirror because I had looked at my own arm, and although I couldn't see it clearly, I knew. Patterns that only appear on my body when I am awakened have appeared, and pieces of black patterns stand out on my body. I don't want you to see my horrible face.
Bingluo, you have to remember me......
It's not about remembering me after I became a denied by my six relatives, but remembering us who shared and endured with you before that......
Bingluo, you are our hope. I hope you can live and live in my place.
That's what I want.
Don't die in a place like this, you must live......
Be sure to arrive in Beiying.
- Bai Longli
Tears have already wet the entire piece of paper.
These wordless liquids slowly washed away; Rena's crooked handwriting. Gradually, the messy text became blurry and scattered.
Pain, sorrow, these things constantly wash over the heart of the ice spirit.
