The sun hanging high in the sky, emitting infinite light, bringing light and warmth to all things in the world, is powerful enough to make it look down on everything equally, but such a sun will also set at a time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It wasn't until the sun sank into the ground and no longer saw the slightest light that people realized that the nine heavens were not just a stage for the sun to dance alone. The cold moon and the dense stars have been waiting in the sky for a long time.

During the day, the scorched earth and ruins only feel hot, but at night, under the illumination of the silver-white moonlight, it also becomes a special charm. If you leave it alone for a period of time and grow some flowers and plants, maybe there will be high-spirited literati and elegant guests who will express some emotions and thoughts that have nothing to do with it.

There weren't many pits in the ground, or rather, the whole of the neighborhood had become a big crater, and a little south in the center had a hollow bottom, and the clutter of all sorts of debris, and the spotless white boy sitting on top of the ruins, with his skin so white that it seemed to glow, made it even more charred

In the dead silence, there was a sudden small sound: "Bang, click......"

The topmost pieces of scattered black coke fell like a miniature avalanche with a sound, and then the fragments buried under the coke were separated, and a red figure crawled out of it.

The clothes were disheveled and torn, and there were many wounds on the body, so it looked bloody, but under the dark moonlight of the night, the color of the blood was not distinct, but closer to black. The reason he was said to be a red figure was that where he was supposed to be a pair of eyes, two orbs like glowing drops of blood, glowing enormously, attracting the eyes of any creature that would appear around him.

He shook twice, straightened up, and was tall and long.

He turned his eyes to stare at the young man, who seemed to feel his gaze as well, and rolled his eyes slightly to meet him.

But apart from his eyes, the boy's whole body did not move at all, and even his chest did not rise or fall in the slightest, and if someone else were there, I am afraid that I would not be able to help but put my fingers on his lips and probe his snort, to determine whether he was dead or alive - or, to judge whether he was real or false.

"Snort. The system that temporarily occupied Brunei's body, but only let out a cold snort from his mouth, turned back to look at the young man, stretched out his hand to the opening he had crawled out, and made a slight gesture - and then stopped abruptly, with an unpleasant look on his face, bent down, put his hand in, and cursed in a louder voice, "I'll wipe it." ”

His movements didn't seem to be hindered in any way, but his body was clearly not in such good shape, and after just a few hard tuggings, he collapsed to the ground with a curse, gasping for breath unconsciously.

Perhaps because of this, it was an hour before he dug the other two out of that pit.

Bald and Sal lay side by side on the ground, and if you look closely, the ups and downs of your chest are quite distinct.

"You're all alive? The system gave a strange expression, and after thinking about it for a long time, it changed to an evil smile, "Hey." ”

He raised his hand, and a gust of wind swirled around them, swirling and converging above their heads, and finally turned into two lumps of water, which smashed into their faces with a clear snap of their fingers. Almost at the same time, the two men violently shook their spirits and their eyes opened.

Thrall woke up a little late, and the water mass ran down his nostrils, causing him to cough desperately.

The more alert bald head was much better, the water had little effect except to wake him up, he sat up, and wanted to stretch out both hands in front of him to take a look, but only the right hand appeared in front of him, and the arm of the left hand was in sharp pain because of the exertion, and in the blink of an eye, the left arm collapsed there softly, completely unable to exert force.

But the bald head smiled: "In other words, I'm still alive?"

"Hey, haha, hahaha! I'm still alive!" the bald head reacted for a moment, then laughed out loud, and after laughing for a while, he saw the tall figure standing on the side, and said, "Bruneisi, I really don't know how you did it, but-"

The bald head was suddenly speechless, as he looked up, and was greeted by the strange scarlet pupils and a terrifying smile he had never seen on Brunei's face. The system smiled grimly: "Bald brother, what's wrong? Don't you want to thank me? Why don't you speak? I saved your life, thank me well." ”

"Uh-" The bald man instinctively tensed his muscles all over his body, for his instinct gave him an alarm, and fear almost consumed his mind, but he finally said the sentence profusely sweating, "Thank you." ”

In the midst of the system's weird laughter, Sal finally got the water out of his nasal cavity, and although it was still hot and painful, it had been reduced to an acceptable level. He also heard the joyful laughter of the bald head, and surviving from the situation where he thought he was certain to die made him also have the urge to look up to the sky and howl, and because of this, he thought that Brunei's laughter was also normal.

"Bruneith, I-" He also wanted to say something to express his gratitude, but this time, he just didn't want to think about it before, calm down and think about it, standing in his position, even if he himself would be used as a bait to fall into a crisis that he couldn't imagine, and the fact that he could use this magic array to find Brunei's location itself posed a huge threat to Brunei, which was still very obvious. This made him not know what to say for a while, did he apologize, and what was the use of apologizing?

Originally, he was somewhat relieved when he saw the fall of the huge meteorite that he thought was inevitable. He did harm Brunei, but he did it unintentionally, and he also paid for his own life for it, which could have calmed his conscience. But now that he has survived, he is still saved by Brunei Si, which makes him fall into double pain and self-blame.

Anyway, in the midst of his struggle, Brunei, who heard his name, turned his head, revealing scarlet and shining eyes.

“...... Bruneith, what's wrong with your eyes?" Sal asked with concern after pausing his self-blame for a moment, "Is it a side effect from the overuse of mental power before?" are you okay? How do you feel? Let's find a place-"

"Huh?" Brunei's eyes rolled, and when he looked at Sal again, he no longer glowed, because Sal was looking up at him at the moment, and in the backlight, he couldn't see the color of Brunei's pupils at the moment. This made Sal wonder if what he had just seen was a delusion. Did he subconsciously want to demonize Brunei? He became even more self-reproachful.

Brunei, however, was just smiling gently and calmly, tolerating his willfulness and caring for him like a brother. As now, Brunei was leaning over him, or rather, running, and said with a look and tone that was far more concerned than he had shown: "My eyes, what's wrong with my eyes? Sal, why did your eyes glow red?"

Sal was stunned: "My eyes?"

Brunei had already run in front of Sal, perhaps because he was too anxious and ran too hard, he even gasped, but he didn't care about panting, but said while panting: "You don't know what's wrong? Quick, let me see!"

Brunei put his hands on Sal's head and pulled his eyelids apart.

Sal smiled and waved his hand: "What can you see?" But he felt a warmth in his heart, and the self-blame and pain just now seemed to be melted by this warm current. Brunei will forgive himself, and in the future, he will definitely compensate him.

He kept thinking about it until he met Brunei's eyes again at close range—those dull blood-red pupils that suddenly shone again. Then, Thrall suddenly felt that the world in front of him suddenly turned gray.

At first, the right eye socket felt cool and even a little comfortable, but then, it burned like it was burning.

He screamed, shoved Bruneith away, and pressed his right eye, where it should have been, but now there was only a huge cavity, and the warm liquid in it kept flowing outward, gushing in the palm of his hand.

Everything in front of him became blurry, and so did Brunei's figure, and after a while, he saw Brunei's appearance clearly, standing upright, holding a small round ball in his left hand, and gently holding it to his mouth. He opened his mouth and threw it in.

"You!-ahh

"Grunt", a clear swallowing sound, Brunei's Adam's apple trembled for a moment, and then, turning his face, still with that warm smile, said embarrassedly: "There seems to be nothing wrong with your eyeballs." I was mistaken, sorry. ”

Thrall was completely speechless, and the pain in his eye sockets was getting worse and worse, so that he could only curl up on the ground and convulse, desperately trying to bite off his tongue to cover the pain with pain, and it took him several minutes to intermittently ask a few words: "For...... Miscellaneous...... ......?"

"Hey. The system smiled grimly and kindly whispered into Thrall's ear to make sure he didn't miss a word, "Do you think betraying me is so easy to over?" You could have betrayed me one more time, about two days—maybe five days, given your physical condition, and you'd be able to get to where people lived. Go find the people in the Secret Service and tell them that I'm not dead, that you only need a word, and you'll be able to get revenge, great, isn't it?"

Thrall struggled, trying his best not to let out a wail, though he didn't know what the point was.

"Or," said the system with a smile, "maybe, I mean, maybe, you'll want to take revenge on me with your own hands, maybe?" Sal Xavier, Brunei Castro, your brother, your rival, your enemy—your enemy for life." It's also fun, isn't it?"

He stood up straight again, looked down at Thrall, who was struggling on the ground, and smiled contemptuously, "But, Sal, my dearest brother, I know you. You don't have that guts, do you? haha. ”

He turned his head and looked at the young man who was sitting on the ruins, watching everything happen, but there was no response, and then swept over the bald head who was silently out of fear, and laughed: "Hey, let's go." ”

After taking two steps, he turned around, passed the young man who was silently following him, looked at the bald head who was hesitating in place, and smiled calmly: "Bald brother, follow me." ”

Soon, there was no longer any other breath of the living in the silent crater, and Thrall, the only one left there, finally let out a cry of pain, looking up at the bright moonlight, his delicate face full of tears.

............

All night, no one spoke. There were no surprises, no imperial outposts, no monsters, no wild beasts, not even mortal mosquitoes. The bald head followed the two men without saying a word, feeling as if he were following two more dead men—but he couldn't even muster the courage to turn around and run away.

The moonlight also gradually dimmed, and a deep darkness descended on the world. But the two men did not lift the torches or anything else, and soon the bald head could only roughly follow the two men according to the sound of their "rustling" walks and intuition that became clearer in such a situation. From time to time, he would think that maybe he wasn't with those two people anymore, maybe he had lost them somewhere, and now he was ahead of him by an invisible wolf or some other monster.

Whenever he thinks like this, his heart will inexplicably feel more relaxed.

But the sound suddenly disappeared - which made him panic again, and he ran forward two steps before crashing into a man. The material of his clothes was unheard of by the bald head, and the smooth and delicate feeling reflected its amazing value - this was undoubtedly the strange boy who suddenly appeared, and the bald head added a touch of regret to his heart.

Then he heard Brunei's voice.

"It's dawn. ”

Under the reflection of the rising sun, a snow-white city sparkled in his eyes.
