Chapter 302: A Countdown Beyond Time
The light that filled the door was like a babbling lake, and suddenly it seemed to reach fullness, and the light gushed out like a waterfall, flowing to the ground in an arc, and then the light solidified into a staircase made of light. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Do you want to step on this thing, can you step on this thing?" Suzu walked to the front and looked at the staircase of light that suddenly appeared, and at a glance it seemed to have returned to her usual optimistic and lively appearance, "I don't want to step on it and fall down." β
"Don't worry, considering the reason why you can't use the wind step, please make it specially made by the research institute, but the ladder can not last long, please enter the door as soon as possible, the door will not close soon, and you can also take a look at this world again," Aoi lifted her bangs that were disturbed by the storm, "If you have a little nostalgia for this world." β
"It's not as much as I like it, but at least it's not annoying," Suzu smiled back at Aoi and jumped up the stairs one step at a time, "Wow, you can really step on it." β
"This kind of stuff is very unscientific. Lin walked up the seemingly unreliable stairs with suspicion.
"What science do you talk about in this magic-ridden worldview? Kai also walked up.
Xiao Fan watched everyone walk up safely, and stepped on it without any scruples.
The four of them walked to the top end, standing side by side on the door frame, Suzu reached out and touched the inside of the door, when the palm of her hand touched the surface of the light, Suzu felt as if her hand was really in the water, but there seemed to be a strong repulsion in the water, and she couldn't put her hand in even a centimeter.
"The space-time gate will open in thirty seconds, and the replenished energy can only supply the gate for thirty seconds, please enter the door within thirty seconds. The mechanical voice reminded.
"Is it enough to replenish energy for such a long time, only enough to turn on for thirty seconds!" Lin was a little surprised.
"After all, it's about connecting two worlds, and it's not unreasonable to think about it. Kai said.
"By the way, Xiaoling, isn't your sister here too, isn't she going to go back?" Xiao Fan suddenly thought.
Ling was stunned for a moment, she looked around and found that there was no shadow of Ruoming at all.
"yes, why isn't she here?" said the other three in unison, with a blank expression.
The restless noise suddenly remembered on the outside of the venue, and the sound of the series of riots became louder and louder, and it seemed to be approaching this side, as if something was coming over and was about to break into the venue where the precision operation was being carried out.
"What's going on? At the scene where the gate of time and space opened, outsiders were forbidden to enter, who was making the noise?" Aoi frowned, and said solemnly to the knights around him, "Go and see what's going on outside." β
"Report!" But before the order could be executed, the knight who was already in charge of guarding the outside rushed in in a panicked look, "Report, someone is forcibly breaking into here, but the team in charge of guarding can't stop it." β
"There should be more than dozens of people in charge of guarding the outside world, who can't stop them?" Aoi asked.
"According to the news from the front, the other party has the appearance of silver hair and red eyes, holding a huge black knife weapon in his hand, and is constantly breaking through by brute force!" the knight gasped.
Lyle Plath's report, "Why is he?" made Aoi think of someone at once, and she thought to herself, but she soon had an answer.
"No matter who it is, send me more people to stop him, the rules are the rules, not everyone can try to break it casually, the scene where the door of time and space is opened, no unrelated people are allowed to enter. Aoi still has a serious attitude.
Suzu suddenly felt a sudden chill behind her, some strange force was trying to pull her back, and the other three had the same feeling, they looked back and saw that the inside of the door was no longer full of light, but a dark and deep hole, and inside the hole was the spatial corridor.
"Let's go in first, sister, she's certainly not the kind of person who forgets such a crucial thing, there should really be something, and she won't tell me everything. Suzu took Xiaofan's hand, and the two girls jumped in first, standing on the other side of the door.
"Wow, it's so cold inside, it's colder than the outside, obviously there are warm clothes in the moonlit night realm, this passage won't be very long, I don't want to keep walking in such a cold place." She wanted to summon flames, but found that in this corridor, not even a trace of fire could be summoned, and the flow of magic in her body was not abnormal, but at the moment when the magic power was about to be released, it seemed to be blocked in her body.
And in this corridor, the bell can't feel a little bit of magic, there is really no real point, complete emptiness, even in the human world, there is a little bit of thin magic distributed in nature, but here, it is pure nothingness, here is the gap in time and space, the space corridor.
"Let's walk back honestly. Kai and Lin also walked in, and Kai rubbed his shoulders and said.
"Was there such a trouble when we came, I only remember a flash of light, and then I was unconscious, and I woke up in the moonlit night realm. Lin said.
"The space-time gate will close in twenty-five seconds. The mechanical female voice reminded diligently.
"Let's take another look at this world, the realm of eternal night, the realm of the moon and night, I don't know if we will ever return here. "Suzu stood at the edge of the door, just such a door, the inner and outer worlds, when the door was closed, it was really temporarily to say goodbye to that world, obviously now, as long as he stretched out his hand, he could still touch the air and moonlight of that world, and maybe he would always say goodbye to this wonderful otherworld.
"I won't forget, this is the world where grandpa was born, his hometown, where my sister grew up, and Lyle's home," Suzu stretched out her hand, as if reluctant to give up the world on the other side of the door, "I won't forget, this world, that person." She whispered.
Lin looked at the long-haired girl below again, and saw that the other party was also looking at him, smiling.
Then in the center of the field of vision, Suzu's hand is about to be withdrawn.
"Eighteen seconds are still before the portal closes. β
So in the direction where the palm of the hand was facing, that is, the gate of the venue, there was a loud bang, and the strong air flow slammed the heavy steel gate into depression everywhere, and then was swept into the air.
Suzu only felt that she had seen the most unforgettable scene of her life, the boy who couldn't let go of herself, carrying a sword and stepping on the air current, rushed in.
"Wait-wait-I-ah!" Lyle's roar resounded throughout the room.
"It's Lyle, he's here!" Xiao Fan shouted in surprise.
"Wow, that's enough for a man!" Kai exclaimed.
"Only this fool can make such a crazy move," Lin said, "If you want to come, you should come earlier." β
"Lyle, come over here!!!!!" Suzu shouted hysterically at Lyle.
"The portal is thirteen seconds away from closing. The sound of the prompt is like the most gripping alarm bell.
Lyle continued to squeeze the magic power in his body, every time he released the wind step, it was the maximum elastic force within the limit, he was in mid-air, jumping again and again, he stretched out his hand, towards the door where everyone was.
Suzu also reached out to the sky, as if she couldn't wait to grab Lyle's hand.
"Captain Aoi, I'm sorry we can't stop it, it's not just Lyle who broke into the venue, there is also a mysterious woman, she alone easily repelled the combat power of dozens of us. The knight, who was not seriously wounded, staggered to report.
"Woman?" Aoi frowned.
The cold air visible to the naked eye shrouded the upper mouth, and at this moment, it was as if a floating cloud had flown to the venue, and inside the cold air, a cyan flash followed Lyle's trajectory and rushed in the direction of the door.
She leapt out of the cold air, and at the same time carried a large part of the knight's body and was blown into the sky.
"It's Xiao Ling's sister!" Xiao Fan shouted in surprise again.
"Did she go to take Lyle with her? Lin said.
"Cool. Kai clenched his fists.
"Final countdown, 10 seconds, 9 seconds......"
Aoi stood below, looking at the two blue lights above his head, in a parabolic orbit, quickly jumped to the door of time and space, at this time, the final countdown of the mechanical female voice has sounded, this is a race between human beings and time, in the end, is it the strong mood of human beings that will make them successful, or will they be ruthlessly detained by reality, when the two are about to touch with their hands, the door is closed one step earlier, leaving only a regretful loss, and a sense of loneliness.
"Captain Aoi, what are we going to do?" a knight spoke.
However, Aoi didn't answer, just watched silently, with an incomprehensible smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes seemed to shine with anticipation.
"6 seconds, 5 seconds, 4 seconds ......"
Suzu stretched out her hand out of the door, and if it wasn't for everyone holding her, she would have rushed out to greet Lyle's arrival, but in that case, Suzu herself would definitely not be able to return to the door in time.
Several people were anxiously looking at the scene happening in front of them, this moment seemed to be slowed down infinitely, Kai felt that his side was already full of nervous sweat, Lin felt that he could hear his heartbeat beating as fast as a war drum, Xiao Fan nervously wanted to close her eyes, but she knew that she had to watch all this at this moment, all she could do was pray in her heart.
Catch up!" shouted in everyone's hearts.
"Catch up. Aoi moved her lips, and the subtle voice melted into the air as soon as she left her mouth, leaving only the knights on the side to be anxious, staring at the sky at a loss.
"Give it to me, Lyle!" Suzu shouted in her loudest voice, not caring if she was a lady or not, her voice hoarse.
"Catch up with me!!" Lyle's face facing the wind, blown out of shape by the strong air current, also shouted at the top of his voice.
The tips of the two hands are about to touch each other, and there is still a difference of ten, nine, eight, and seven meters......
"3 seconds ....."
Six, five, four......
The time has come for the strong and ardent hearts of mankind to race against time and to make a decision.
Aoi watched the edge of the door frame glow with yellow magic again, and the door began to close, at this time she showed a firm smile, as if she had seen the result, and as if she had determined something, she quickly raised her hand, put her wrist in front of her mouth, and opened her mouth gently, and the yellow magic lines engraved on her wrist flashed.
Three meters, two meters......
"2 seconds ......"
One meter ......
"1 second. β
Lyle's hand held Suzu's hand, his fingers were intertwined, and the three people behind him hugged Suzu's body together, and used their greatest strength to pull Lyle in, and Ruo Ming, who came from behind, had already arrived at the same level as Lyle.
"It's slow!" she shouted, slamming her foot on Lyle's ass.
She suddenly glanced behind her again, and saw a third blue light flowing past that was neither her own nor Lyle's.
So two blue rays of light fell into the door together, or more precisely, one of them fell in......
"The Gate of Time and Space is closed!" the final mechanical female voice announced the end of the race, but they couldn't hear the bell anymore, because they were already on the other side of the world.
The light completely filled the door for the second time, obscuring the entrance to the corridor of the space, and there were no more people in sight.
Only a piece of flaxen-colored broken steps drifted in the night sky with the air current, it was torn from the cloak, it was Ruoming's cloak, and before he could fully enter the door, it was cut off by the closed door.
Aoi withdrew her hand that she had secretly raised at some point, and the cyan air flow in her palm dispersed, and she held her hand behind her back, and no one saw this small detail.
The light inside the door began to fade, as if the lake had been gradually drained, until at last only a huge door was left alone, and the night breeze was slightly cool, and the snow had not stopped.
"Aoi Commander ......" the attendant knight asked cautiously.
"Forget it, everyone has run away, what else are you thinking, this mistake will be counted on my head," Aoi was not angry, just looked into the distance, "Just take it as tuition"
"Tuition?What to study?" the knight was puzzled, but looked at the regimental commander in front of him in a daze, and saw that there were two more silver boxes in her arms, and he didn't know what they were.
"Probably, it's what human feelings can do, and there's no limit to what's possible," Aoi said in a way that the knight couldn't understand, "a force that can't be stopped by anything, even if it's reality or fate." β
Aoi brushed away her hair and moved her eyes to the full moon in the sky, which could also be seen in that world, such a beautiful and bright moon.
In her other hand, she clutched two silver boxes tightly.
Slightly before the time period, the total knight long team.
Ang looked at the two letters in his hand, shook his head with a wry smile, and didn't say much, just put the two letters on the table, got up from the chair, and silently walked to the window, looking at the entire silent court and the distant horizon.
A piece of letterhead had been opened, and on the outside was written the words sent by Lyle Plath, Aung Ogudo, with an emotional, but not rigorously structured cover letter.
Dear Chief Knight, although this time my guilt was clear, I still feel that there is still something wrong with me, so I want to take the initiative to do something to make amends, given that the enemy's target is the Apocalypse Fragment, but there is also a fragment hidden in Suzu's body, in order to protect that fragment from being taken away, I take the initiative to ask myself to go to the human realm as a protection mission for the Apocalypse Fragment, and beg the organization for approval, above.
As for the other letter, it was no longer a letter, but a note that had been placed on the table, and it was simply and rudely written, agreeing to Lyle Plath's request, or I would make another fuss here.
"While I'm away, these little ghosts are really good at tricks, what kind of request is this, it's all willful, but forget it, it's been serious for hundreds of years, and it doesn't matter if it's loose once," Ang held up the teaglass, which contained steaming, wine, "We really have a group of juniors who make people have a headache and can't help but look forward to it, what do you say, old guys." β
Meanwhile.
Having returned to the fourth sub-regiment, Rhine, who was sitting in the regiment's commander's room, silently read the letter left on the table.
To my dear brother.
Obviously, we have just met, and we haven't even been able to say a few words properly, so we are separated again, which is really embarrassing, and the way of saying goodbye is still so hasty, but I think that we two brothers will definitely have a good time to sit down and talk in the future, talk about the past, and the present, memory is waiting for our future. I already know very well that my brother has been working hard for me, and the bitterness of being misunderstood, I myself have always been too cowardly, but fortunately, I met someone, she changed me, let me stand up from the one who would only squat in the corner and cry, I finally used the courage to communicate with my brother face-to-face, and finally able to understand each other with my brother, and finally able to step out of the shadow of the past into the future, so I don't want to leave her and them, and the opportunity to sit and chat with my brother will be put in the near futureγ
Brother, I have always loved you as much as I love my own sister and parents.
Your brother, Lyle Plath.
Rhein put down the letter, turned around and looked out the window without saying a word, at this time, probably he was about to return to that world, and he couldn't rush to send his heart to him, in fact, there was no need to do it in this way, if Lylken told him, he would agree, and go to the scene to watch him leave.
But it doesn't matter, this time let my brother be his own master.
"Mother, father," he sighed softly, "Lena......"
"Rhine, Rhine, Rhine!" The door was suddenly slammed open, such an act was disrespectful to the superiors, but in the fourth sub-regiment, it was an exception.
"I, I've searched everywhere, everywhere, but I haven't found your brother. Atalani burst in, threw himself directly at Rhine's desk, and said breathlessly.
"Thank you, Attalani, I don't need to, I've seen him. Rhine said.
"Huh?" Atalani tilted his head.
Me too, brother, you met that guy and pulled you up, and I met someone and pushed me in.
"By the way, Atharani, I'm asking you something. Rhine said.
"Oh, you ask. Atalani nodded.
"Do you know how to make tea?"
"Make tea?" Atharani was dumbfounded, "Are you kidding, this kind of delicate work, how can a wild girl like me be." She waved her hand modestly.
"Yes. Rhine pondered.
"But I can learn, as long as Rhine needs it," said Attalani, "why do you suddenly ask about such a thing?" β
"It's nothing," Rhein pulled out two bags of tea from a drawer and placed them on the table, "just got this thing from the chief knight." β
