Chapter 12: Touch Me
"Who's talking?"
Lay spoke to himself in the dark. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He wanted to open his eyes, but found that he couldn't do it no matter how hard he tried.
Then a burst of softness lifted his face, it was a pair of hands, a pair of hands that were weak and delicate to the extreme, but there was a little coldness in the hands, but it still did not prevent it from exerting the magic power that made people sink to the fullest.
Rai wanted to open his eyes, to see who the owner of the hands was.
But he couldn't, his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and despite all his strength, his eyelids still didn't obey.
"Who are you?"
Rai still asked, but he couldn't make a sound.
After a while, Rai could feel himself lifted up by those hands and put his head in a softer place.
A mesmerizing fragrance comes to your nose.
"Who are you?"
The ethereal and delicate voice sounded in his ears, and Lai's whole person was excited, but he couldn't move his body.
"Outsider, where did you come from, and why did you come here? There is nothing here, only me and Death. ”
"Will you leave, but how will you leave here? Will you tell me the answer, or do you know nothing......
The voice kept murmuring in my ears.
Lay struggled in the darkness in vain to break free.
Rai knew that he was just physically unable to move, but his consciousness was awake, otherwise he would have seen the vague figure with the source power.
The female voice kept whispering in her ears, and Lay became a silent listener, silently listening to her endless questions.
Although the female voice has not stopped, Rai can't afford to be irritable in his heart, which may be the privilege of people with good voices!
I don't know how long it has been, but there has never been time in the dark world.
Rai gradually regained control of his body, and he could shake it gently.
He struggled to open his eyelids, his eyelashes trembling, as if he could break free from the boundless darkness with a little more effort.
Rai let out a muffled grunt uncontrollably, finally forcing his eyelids to open a little harder.
A vague figure flickered in front of him.
"You ......"
Rai's voice was like the chirping of an insect, and it was indistinct, and he seemed to be lying on the lap of a woman, and the figure lowered his head and put his ear to his, and his chest was filled with softness.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Rai, who couldn't breathe, coughed and struggled slightly with his uncontrollable body.
"I'm sorry!"
As the female voice came to my ears, the softness of my chest disappeared with it.
"You're awake!"
The woman seemed to notice Lai's slightly open eyes and helped him up.
Although his head was still abnormally dizzy, the scene in front of him gradually became clearer.
Rai looked at her, she also looked at Rai calmly, it is more appropriate for a woman not to be called a girl, her age is only small compared to Rai.
With her blood-red hair and pupils, Rai once thought that she had some kind of connection with the old man, and that the two of them should also have some inextricable relationship with the enforcers in the forest.
However, her pale skin without a trace of blood made people look somewhat awkward.
However, it does not affect the beauty of her ingenious appearance in the slightest.
She was dressed in a blood-red cape, and the curly hood attached to the cloak lay quietly behind her.
Although the blood-red cloak was unusually wide, it could not hide the astonishing development of her chest.
It's just that there is no emotion fluctuation on his face, like a cold stone on the ground.
Despite the dizziness of his head, the girl kept staring into his eyes, which made Rai a little shy.
"Why is there so much sadness in your eyes?"
Faced with the girl's question, Lai opened his mouth, and before he could speak in a hurry, the girl's slender and bloodless index finger had already pointed at the center of Lai's eyebrows.
"Buzz ......"
With a buzz in his ears, Lay's whole body fell into a burst of vertigo, and then a feeling of his soul being seen through haunted his heart, this feeling was not pleasant, but he couldn't resist.
"Huh?"
This feeling of peeking into the soul finally disappeared with this soft sigh.
The dizziness gradually subsided, and the girl's emotionless and beautiful face became clear again.
Until now, the girl only had that soft sigh, with a faint feeling, still cold as stone.
"You're just like me. ”
A smile suddenly appeared on the girl's face, but it was not so stiff.
"They are all abandoned by the past!"
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at the sky, with a rare hint of melancholy in her eyes.
At this time, his head gradually cleared up, and he remembered to look around, which was covered in gray-yellow dust mist.
Except for the girl who could see the girl who was close at hand, Rai could only see a vague shadow like a tree in the distance.
The two of them sat side by side on an irregular white stone, which was so big that it was more than enough for the two of them.
Below was the yellow-black earth, and the visibility was no more than a meter, and he really couldn't imagine what the girl could see with her head up.
"What are you looking at?"
Finally, Rai couldn't help but ask.
"I! I want to see the past, but I can't see it, the past of my memory seems to be obscured by this dust, and I don't know anything from afar except to see myself now. ”
Lay listened half-incomprehensibly, not knowing what to say.
"I've been sitting here since I had consciousness, I have no feelings, but I think, I'm like this stone, but I have a soul. ”
The girl kept her head down, holding her leg curled up in front of her chest, and gently stroked the stone beneath her with one hand.
"It's just that my soul is incomplete, I don't feel sadness, I don't feel pain, I don't feel loneliness......"
As she spoke, her face still expressionless, except for the long blood-red hair that reached her hips, scattered on the stones, showing the heaviness of time.
"Did you see my past just now?"
Rai's voice trembled, maybe he could know what was going on in the vanished past.
"I'm sorry, I can't see it, your disappeared past is obscured by something darker, I can't see through it and I can't get by. ”
Lay felt a little lost in his heart, and he lowered his head and looked at the stone like her.
"But I know that the darkness is called sin, and I don't know why I know it, as if it had always been in my head, but I couldn't feel it, until I just saw it, and its name came to mind. ”
The girl paused, then continued:
"I don't know why I apologized, but seeing it seemed to give me some emotion and made me feel more like a human being than a stone. ”
As she spoke, the girl lifted her hand to gently caress the stone, pinching a handful of hair that was hanging down her face.
"I see some sadness about you, though. ”
The girl suddenly turned her head to look at Rai and said slowly.
Rai raised his head, looked into her cold eyes, and smiled softly.
"I just want to tell you that your sorrow is called pity, not love. ”
The girl still said something that he didn't understand, but in the dark, Rai seemed to understand something.
Lay knew that he was responsible for West's death and couldn't let go, but now he could cover up this sadness without leaving a trace.
This is his heart knot, which has been tormenting his heart knot, until the girl's words that he doesn't know what to mean, made him feel a lot better, although he didn't know the clear meaning, but it made him have a slight feeling of sudden enlightenment.
"This is a small reward for you!"
She blinked, and continued:
"Maybe I should get out of here with you, so I might be able to find more of myself. ”
"Will you be able to get out of here?"
Lay was even more puzzled when he heard this.
"Then why don't you leave?"
"Because I don't know why I'm leaving, I don't have a goal, I don't have a direction, I don't want to know what happened in the past, and I don't want to know why I'm here, until I see the darkness called sin, it ......"
The girl lowered her head and thought for a moment.
"It gave me some human emotions and emotional feelings, so I started to want to have more emotions. ”
She pursed her lips again, as if trying to make herself laugh.
"The soul, once there is an emotional fluctuation, I want to return to peace, unless I erase all the feelings I just felt, otherwise I will become like a human being, and I will become uneasy about the unknown, and I can't stand loneliness. ”
The girl looked at Rai's face full of confusion.
"It's like a blank piece of paper, it can always be a blank piece of paper, but if you dye it black, if you don't tear it off, then it's never a blank sheet of paper again. ”
Rai stretched out his left hand and touched his head, smiling softly, because he still didn't quite understand.
"Are you going to leave with me, then?"
"Well, I can't go back to normalcy again, so I can't be here alone. ”
The girl affirmed.
"Do you need my arm for you?"
The girl blinked twice more and pointed to his right arm.
Lai subconsciously looked at the place where the girl was pointing, and there was nothing there.
"Huh?"
Lai sighed, he saw that his right arm was gone, but there was no pain, no fear, no feeling, not even emotional fluctuations.
"Hmm~ I helped you stop the bleeding, in order to avoid you yelling, so by the way, I also blocked some of your emotions and pain. ”
"Block out emotions. ”
Rai repeated softly, and as strange as the ability sounded, he was not surprised at all.
He seemed to have figured out a lot of things at this time, and since he woke up and saw the girl and saw the strange scene around him, he didn't feel surprised or uneasy, as if he were an outsider.
Now he somewhat understands the girl's feelings, the kind that obviously happened to him, but he didn't feel it at all, as if he was no longer himself.
Rai looked at the empty right arm, he couldn't remember how his right arm disappeared, and he looked up at the girl with doubts in his eyes.
"From your memory, your right arm was snapped by a huge strip of water as you defended against an attack. ”
The girl said, taking out a bloody arm from the other side of her body and shaking it gently in front of Rai.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and the scene was calm and a little embarrassed.
"Ahem~"
Rai coughed lightly.
"How do you get this? ”
"Leave it to me!"
The two discussed calmly, and the scene became awkward and weird as Rai was hit on the miserable arm, without a trace of emotion.
The girl said, biting her finger, and a drop of blood spilled through the wound on her fingertip.
The crystal blood is like a red gem, it is very beautiful, and a strange fragrance that is enough to indulge spreads in the air, and people can't help but want to lick it.
The girl glanced at him lightly, and a cold killing intent instantly spread, frightening Lai's cleverness, sobering up from it, and when he came back to his senses, he was already scared into a cold sweat.
Seeing that Rai came to his senses, the girl withdrew her gaze from looking at him, put Rai's right arm underneath, and reached out to drop the drop of blood onto Rai's right arm.
As soon as the blood touched the bloody arm, it instantly turned into a crystal blood-red light to wrap the arm, and the girl forced a drop of blood from her finger to wipe it on the wound on Rai's shoulder, connecting his right arm shrouded in blood-red light.
A tingling itch spread through the wound, and Rai clenched his left hand into a fist, secretly enduring it.
"I knew that I had blocked this feeling of yours, and it looked quite uncomfortable. ”
Seeing that Lai was constantly trembling, the girl subconsciously said it.
"Are you concerned about me?"
Lai sweated uncomfortably, and said with difficulty.
The girl was stunned.
Her eyelids drooped and she looked at the stone below.
"Maybe!"
After that, the two did not say a word until their arms were connected.
"That's it!"
She sighed, and once again pressed her finger to his head, and with a slight feeling of vertigo, all sorts of emotions and sensations came over her.
Lai couldn't help but snort, all kinds of soreness on his body came over him, extremely uncomfortable, and the memory of being hit by the water also followed, making him feel palpitations for a while, if he hadn't reacted quickly, I was afraid that he would have been swallowed by it all at once.
Rai moved the arm he had just connected, and a strange feeling came, but he didn't know where the strange feeling was.
"My blood strengthens the muscles in your arms, and the hardness of your bones, nothing else, just get used to it. ”
Seeing that he kept fiddling with his arms, the girl finally explained to him.
Rai shrugged his shoulders, finally no longer fiddling with it.
"And what shall I call you?"
"Whatever you like. ”
"How's the red blood!"
"It's so casual!"
The girl looked at him and pouted, as if she was slightly dissatisfied.
Rai shrugged, he really couldn't think of a nice name.
"What's your name?"
"Lai Circular"
"Hmmm......"
The girl lowered her head and held her chin with her slender hand, biting her lower lip in deep thought.
"Then I'll call it Circular!"
"Whatever you like!"
The girl said that he would agree without thinking about it, after all, he really couldn't think of any nice names.
"Circulation~"
"What for?"
Rai deliberately lengthened her voice, calling the name she had just given herself.
Seeing the girl's stupid agreement, Rai couldn't help but laugh softly.
"Don't you feel like you're getting more emotional?"
Lai said, Xun was stunned for a moment with his eyes wide open, and lowered his head in a trance.
Lay looked at her, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, her appearance was obviously so weird, but he couldn't raise the slightest vigilance against her, it could be her help to himself, or it could be something else.
Seeing that she was a little absent-minded, Rai finally couldn't help but interrupt her distraction.
"How are we going to get out ......?"
"Can you touch me!"
Before Lai finished speaking, Xun suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed with confusion, stretched out his hand to point at himself, and said slowly.
"What...... What?"
Shun didn't answer him, and stretched out his cold little hand to take his wrist and put it on top of his head.
"Touch me!"
Hearing her voice so sure, Rai's body trembled, and he stared at her silently, his hand gently stroking her hair.
The girl's eyes widened, and her slender body swayed gently with Rai's hands.
"What a familiar feeling!"
After a while, Xun opened his eyes and sighed, and the confusion in his eyes became even stronger.
"Do I know you, in the vanished past?"
She muttered to herself with her mouth open, as if she was asking Rai, and as if she was asking herself.
Rai didn't speak and lowered his head, maybe he felt the same as her, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity filled his heart, maybe because of the same pity, the same ruthless abandonment by the past.
So fate made the two meet here, in this heavy silence, and in the desolation of the world.
His eyes looked at her unconsciously, and Rai realized that the girl was also looking at him in a daze.
The white stone under their feet was incompatible with the world filled with gray-yellow dust and mist, just like the emotion that flashed in their eyes, and had nothing to do with this cold world.
"You said that I was in the past, could it be the person you loved in the past?"
Suddenly, he opened his mouth to break this hard-won warmth.
Then she suddenly laughed coldly twice and continued:
"Just kidding!"
"You don't have to force yourself to adapt to this sudden emotion in your heart, when you find more soul fragments, maybe it won't be so awkward!"
Rai looked at her stiff smile, and suddenly a wave of pity rose, and once again reached out and touched her hair, looked at the girl's somewhat different expression, and stood up from the stone.
"Maybe your lost memory is full of sadness, but if you don't have a past, your soul will become broken, so if the past is unbearable, you and I will face it together!"
Rai said that he had already stretched out his hand, and the girl looked at Rai blankly again, and then a smile appeared on her face, and she stretched out her little hand to take his hand, and with a crisp "um", the relay stood up from the ground.
"You see the smile from the soul, it's really better. ”
Xun stretched out his little hand and rubbed his face, and an inaudible sound came from between his fingers.
"Did I just laugh?"
"Perhaps!"
The crisp voices of boys and girls came from the mist, adding life to this desolate place.
Since then, the chain of fate has tightly bound the two people who have no past.
