The low echo of the tide was mixed with the crackling sound of burning firewood.

Huai Shi woke up from a long nightmare, opened her eyes, and saw the edge of the cliff close at hand, and the turbidity current surging below the edge.

The rain has stopped, but the stars are out of sight.

He was lying on a rock jutting out of the flood, with his saddle bag on his pillow, and beside the burning fire.

I tried to move my hands and feet, but I felt the pain all over my body, and I almost couldn't move.

Hearing his moans, the emaciated figure in front of the fire with its back to him turned around, reached out, and removed the gas mask from his face, revealing a head full of mottled hair, and this old, unfamiliar face.

"Are you awake?"

He grinned, showed a weird and eerie smile, and happily lowered his head and patted the operating box beside him: "The sex reassignment operation was successful, Kokoko, you will be a beautiful little girl from now on......"

Huai Shi couldn't help but roll her eyes and sighed softly: "Don't scare me, senior sister." ”

"Huh?"

The hoarse and deep voice stagnated slightly, and then subtly changed, becoming gentle and pleasant: "Did you guess?"

As he spoke, the 'old man' raised his hand and peeled another thin mask from his face, revealing a familiar face hidden underneath, long hair sliding down his shoulders like water.

Luo Xian's smile was pleasant, and her eyes narrowed slightly, like a pair of crescent moons.

"How did you find out?"

"Didn't you say hello before?" Huai Shi struggled to prop up her body and shook her head: "I was still awake at that time." ”

"No wonder I slept so deeply that I couldn't wake up. ”

Luo Xian held up her chin and looked at him, full of interest: "I've been waiting for so long, I've been thinking about it...... If he doesn't open his eyes again, it is better to quietly pinch his neck off, it is really a long time of hesitation. ”

“......”

Huai Shi smiled helplessly: "Then do I want to thank you for not killing?"

"No thanks. Luo Xian shook her head: "Because I can't help it, I'll crush all your toes." ”

Huai Shi was so frightened that she almost jumped up from the ground, and in an instant, she saw Luo Xian's prank succeeding with a smile: "You're kidding...... Am I some kind of beast in your heart?"

"No...... It's just ......" Huai Shi thought for a long time and scratched her hair: "I just didn't expect to be able to meet you so soon." ”

"That's an encounter, isn't it?"

Luo Xian reached out and lifted Huai Shi up from the ground, propped it up, and then stuffed a plastic bowl into his hand, and the hot curry rice was emitting a charming sound.

"Come on, it's just cooked, let's eat. ”

"Thank you......"

Huai Shi subconsciously picked up the spoon and thanked half of it, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, reacted, and looked at the curry in the bowl with a green face like curry.

This rice smells so good, but it tastes ...... Will it be fatal?

“......”

Luo Xian tilted her head to look at him, scooped a spoonful from his bowl with a spoon, and stuffed it directly into his mouth: "Frozen food, I'll just heat it up, it won't hurt you too, right?"

Huai Shi chewed it and found that she was still alive, and the taste was okay, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I don't know why, I always feel that something is wrong with the taste, especially as he chews, the curry in his mouth becomes more and more sour.

It's so sour!

Why is it so sour?!

His expression twitched.

"Ah, that's sour!"

After Luo Xian took a bite, she finally reacted, and shook her head regretfully: "It's probably expired, right?"

“...... Belch. ”

Huai Shi looked at the spoon in her hand, and wanted to stop talking, stopping and wanting - the spoon was the one that was just stuffed into her mouth.

Luo Xian looked at her suspiciously, "Can't you get used to eating?"

"No, no, I'm used to it!" Huai Shi's head shook like a rattle, and she lowered her head and took a bite of it, her brows furrowed.

This time it's bitter.

It's so bitter, it's so bitter...... Eating makes people's hearts sour and bitter.

But after two more bites, the bitterness quickly dissipated, and only the taste of the curry itself remained, that is, there was nothing peculiar.

After eating, Luo Xian took out a pack of wet wipes from her pocket and came over to wipe the remaining soup from the corner of his mouth.

Thin, cold fingers pressed against his face, and he couldn't help but blink.

"Don't be embarrassed, you're just suffering a severe muscle strain, so think you're a patient. Luo Xian threw the wet wipes into the fire, smiled and said, "Sleep well, tomorrow will be fine." ”

Huai Shi moved her fingers with difficulty, feeling a burst of soreness.

With his deliberate adjustments, the ecological circle in his body changed again, and the thriving mountain ghost stigma was rapidly spreading throughout his body, and he began to develop towards regeneration with all his strength.

There were several cracks in the bones, a slight rupture in the internal organs, a concussion, and lightning burns...... But it's not a critical type of serious injury, just a little recuperation, it won't affect the state.

But just drink more water.

Then, a huge water tank was placed in front of him.

"Please, Your Excellency, Inquisitor. Luo Xian smiled, "Specially prepared for you." ”

It's just well prepared.

"Uh...... Why do you have so much water?"

Huai Shi couldn't believe it, he could feel that the water inside didn't have any radiation, and it was a pure natural clean water source.

Luo Xian pointed to the shovel next to her backpack, "Find the right place, dig down and dig down." The underground water veins in this place are still quite abundant, as long as you find the right place to punch down, the water will spray out on its own. ”

“......”

Huai Shi's expression twitched, and it was difficult to understand Luo Xian's method of finding water.

But when I recall the scene of her wandering freely in the midst of storms and torrents, it feels more and more incredible.

"You...... How?"

"Huh?"

Luo Xian was puzzled and tilted her head to look at him, "It's just a storm, you can hide from it if you don't pay attention, right?"

"I see, I see. ”

Huai Shi suddenly realized: "It turns out that I didn't pay attention to the wind, so the trick of walking on the water is to take advantage of the water and not pay attention?"

"What stupid things are you talking about, Huaishi. Luo Xian said seriously: "Won't that fall down in that case? If there is no resistance, it will hurt to fall." ”

“......”

I don't think the two of us were on the same channel from the beginning, big sister.

Are we really out of a training class?

Why are you so much more show than me?

"What's the reason for that?" Huai Shi's expression twitched: "Chakra?"

"Do you mean Tianzhu's chakra method? Ah, if you say that, you can do it with a little effort, but it's too strenuous, right?"

Luo Xian shook her head: "Actually, it's just the Yubu application method that I figured out myself, if you learn to trap, you can easily master it, I'll teach you when I go back." ”

"Forget it. ”

Huai Shi couldn't help but choke and coughed, feeling the gap in talent.

Don't say that he has fallen into the ground, and he is still stuck in the sky, so he can only take it to make a cameo appearance as an unpopular mecha Gu Wu, if he really lets him practice physically, I am afraid that he will explode on the spot.

After graduating from the Orchard Gym for so long, he is still at the most basic stage of being a drummer, and even if the chord skills are deliberately accumulated, they can only guarantee the success rate of the junior chord.

He snickered when he could use Thunderbolt well.

Where do you dare to be ambitious.

He collapsed on the ground again, sucking the water tank with an iron straw in his mouth, and suddenly reacted, remembering what Luo Xian called him, and felt that it was not right:

"Wait a minute...... What's the matter with the Inquisitor?"

"Don't you know?"

Luo Xian looked at him blankly, and when she saw Huai Shi's confused appearance, she couldn't help but shake her head, and took out a card from her wallet that had not yet been opened.

"You've got a new card. ”

"What's that?"

Huai Shi was dumbfounded, craned her neck and leaned closer, her expression suddenly twitched.

Is that a brand new Everything?

Memorabilia Series 'Fight of the Stars' Limited Edition Card Pack.

【Inquisitor: Huai Shi】

Among the sixteen character cards, the serial number is NO6.

The bronze card back, as well as a silver-encrusted frame representing outstanding contributions, is a back taken from the surveillance video of the Star Stars.

- The military attache of the Astronomical Society stood in front of the guillotine, his face shrouded in darkness that could not be illuminated by the firelight, but his eyes seemed to be burning, and he opened his arms and bowed his head to announce the coming of judgment to one of the culprits of the incident.

Effect: Executioner: When this card appears, all cards that receive the Astronomical Society's 'Black Letter' mark will have one health deducted and will be granted a temporary state of weakness with one minus one defense.

At the bottom, there is a short introduction written in bold letters.

[Judgment, your judgment has come, and your judgment stands before you—and now, your judge is watching you. 】

After reading Huai Shi, I was stunned for a long time.

Unbelievable.

"Am I in the card pool again?"

"yes, because it's not the main character, the number of copies on sale is 4,000, and it sells like crazy. Luo Xian stuffed the card into her wallet, "I finally grabbed it, how about it?

Huai Shi didn't know if she was moved or not.

He only knew that he didn't dare to move in front of Luo Xian at all, just like a stupid roe deer who was held up by a lion and a tiger.

Especially when the firelight illuminates her moist lips, it always makes people feel ...... She didn't seem to be full yet, and she was hungry.

The premonition of death vaguely rose and quickly dissipated, and so back and forth that the back of his head was cold.

Huai Shi subconsciously glanced at the saddle bag behind him.

The sword of virtue is still in it.

Do you want to give her another shot to cure the effect?

As if knowing what Huai Shi was talking about, Luo Xian laughed softly: "The same trick is useless in front of me. ”

Where did you come from, Saint Seiya!

Anyway, I can't beat it, and I can't escape, not to mention that Luo Xian saved herself.

She wanted to kill herself, and she was already cold.

Huai Shi just doesn't know what kind of state Luo Xian is in now, whether she is as calm as Luo Lao said, whether she is still entangled and troubled by the love of the abyss, and can't live a normal life.

Luo Xian didn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary.

Behave as usual.

Perhaps, it's just that he has a ghost in his heart.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, wondering if he was the heart of a villain in the belly of his senior sister.

Luo Xian, on the other hand, skillfully cleaned the tableware, almost luxuriously washed it with clean water and put it away, Huai Shi could see that she only seemed to have these things in her backpack.

Other than that, I really didn't bring anything.

False martial arts masters, real martial arts masters.jpg

Feeling the familiar frustration again, Huai Shi couldn't help but feel more and more helpless.

People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.

Why can't you think about it so much, and compare your ability with a real genius when you're idle?

In the long night, the two exchanged ideas about their lives in the past few days, and Huai Shi also picked and chose to tell the story of his death all the way.

"The King of the Outer Dao?"

When Luo Xian heard the war on the Stars, she showed a sudden expression: "No wonder I saw him in Southeast Asia a few days ago, is this the case?"

"Huh?!"

Huai Shi's eyes widened: "Did you see him?"

"yes. Luo Xian bowed her head and said with emotion: "It's a very kind old man, it's completely different from what my father said, and he borrowed a lot of money from me." ”

“......”

Huai Shi suddenly couldn't hold back.

Why is there such a big difference between people and people?

When you meet yourself, you hit hard, and when you meet a beautiful girl, you borrow money?

That's a bit too much, isn't it?

"But...... He seems to be using a drummer as well?" Huai Shi asked, "Does it have anything to do with Teacher Luo?"

"If you want to say it, it's almost the kind of Master Zu, right?"

Luo Xian thought for a moment, then said, "But fourteen years ago, he was punched into the abyss by his father—if it weren't for this, his father would have been a fifth-order by now, right?"

“......”

Absolutely, God grandpa.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Luo was also a filial son, and he directly beat and solidified his teacher!

"In short, you have to run far away after encountering it in the future. ”

Luo Xian reminded: "Although the king of the outer path is not enough to spill his resentment on children, however, the door style is very strict, if it fails to meet his requirements, he will clean up the door easily." ”

When she said this, she looked down at the faint scar on the back of her hand, and recalled the hearty battle a few days ago, and her expression became happy.

Okay......

You two seem to get along quite well.

The corners of Huaishi's eyes twitched, and she decided not to get involved in this.

Anyway, it was Osiris who fought with the king of the outer way, what does it have to do with him Huaihai Road Little Peppa?

After Huai Shi finished talking about his journey to death, the conversation between the two fell silent.

In the silence, Huai Shi lay on the ground and tossed and turned.

In the end, I couldn't help but look back at Luo Xian, who had laid a sleeping bag next to the fire.

"These days ......"

He hesitated for a moment, but finally asked, "Have you been traveling all these days?"

"That's right. Luo Xian stretched out her hand, picked up her backpack, and showed him the strange souvenir pendant on it: "You see, Dongxia, the Russian Federation and Southeast Asia, and then transfer from here, and then go to the Americas, and after visiting the Americas, go to Rome, and finally go to Egypt......"

Like a child showing off her baby, she smirked: "It's amazing, isn't it?"

Huai Shi was silent for a moment, and asked softly, "Have you been ...... Are they all alone?"

"yes. ”

Luo Xian nodded calmly: "Isn't travel like this? When you go on the road alone, you can leave if you want, stay if you want, and go wherever you want - the first time you are so far away from home, you always feel that everything is new." But I always feel like a bun...... You're not going to laugh at me, are you?"

"No, no, no. ”

Huai Shi hurriedly shook her head, looking at her happily holding the map and route, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked in a low voice, "Sister Xian, aren't you lonely?"

Traveling is a lonely thing.

Even if she is accompanied by crows and Beelzebub, these days, Huai Shi still feels lonely.

When you look up, you can see the eternal starry sky, the infinite expanse of the barren land, the long road with no end in sight, and the world so silent that you can only hear your own breathing.

It's as if the whole world has abandoned it.

Lonely forward.

But it's only been a few days since then, but Luo Xian has walked so far and for so long, walking alone on the road.

Will she feel pain and sadness?

Huai Shi didn't know.

Luo Xian seemed to have been asked.

Put down the map, look back, and look at Huai Shi in confusion.

After a long time, she suddenly laughed.

"Of course, Huaishi. ”

"Of course I feel lonely, but isn't everybody lonely in this world?" she said, "even now—when we're so close, do you know what's going on in my heart?"

Huai Shi was stunned.

Luo Xian looked down at the young man's face, and her pupils were like mirrors, reflecting his face: "So, will you be afraid, Huaishi?"

"I ......"

Huai Shi subconsciously dodged her gaze, but immediately after, she heard a small sound.

It was her moving her knees forward.

Then he reached out and pulled him up from the ground, holding his face, forcing him to look at himself, to his eyes, until he could not escape.

Then he smiled almost dotingly.

It was as if he had hugged himself and hugged him.

"Don't be afraid, Huaishi. ”

She whispered, "Don't be afraid. ”

"This is the only thing I can say - you are definitely not alone. ”

Luo Xian's gentle whisper: "I believe that no matter where you go, those hopes pinned on you will be with you, including mine." ”

Huai Shi froze in place.

I felt only the temperature and her breath at hand.

Until she let go of her arm, she still didn't react.

He stared at her blankly.

I couldn't help but blush a little.

"This, ahem. He couldn't help but look away, "Sounds like a confession." ”

"Huh?" Luo Xian tilted her head to look at him, her smile still on: "Your words also sound like a polite refusal." ”

"Uh......" Huai Shi's mind was empty, and she didn't even know how to answer.

"It doesn't matter. ”

Luo Xian gently stroked his hair and told him, "It's like you didn't give up on me before...... I will never give up on you. ”

She told the young man in front of her seriously, "If I really have the slightest thing that can be called love, then I will definitely keep it by your side." ”

Huai Shi was stunned.

But she smiled, pinched his face one last time, turned around, and went back to her sleeping bag.

"Have a good rest, Huaishi. ”

She closed her eyes: "Tomorrow you will travel again, I believe that even if you are alone, you will never travel alone." ”

"Hmm. ”

Huai Shi lay on the blanket that Luo Xian had laid for herself, but she didn't feel the slightest sleep, and after a long time, he cautiously raised his eyes to look at his side.

Luo Xian closed her eyes and lay quietly in her sleeping bag, breathing evenly, as if she was sleeping.

"That, Sister Xian......"

"Huh?"

“...... Thank you. ”

"No thanks. She turned to the side and opened one eye to look at him, "Isn't that what a big sister should do? ”

"Well, good night. ”

Huai Shi closed her eyes.

This time, he fell into a deep sleep.

By the time he opened his eyes again, it was already dusk the next day.

The pyre has been extinguished, and Luo Xian has disappeared as if in a dream, only the blanket under her body seems to still have the residual warmth of the dream.

Huai Shi got up slowly, looked around blankly, and saw the black clouds gradually dissipating under the setting sun, and the empty starry sky that was re-revealed.

Gone are the turbid currents, replaced by still dry yellow sand and endless deserts.

His journey is not over yet.

There is still a long period of suffering ahead for him.

But this time, his heart unexpectedly did not waver, but became full and quiet.

The blanket was rolled up and put away, and again, carrying the saddle bag, a small pendant fell out of the blanket.

It is a souvenir that seems to have come from somewhere, and the back of a traveler holding a trekking pole is outlined with iron sheets, and it feels as if it is ready to go.

Huai Shi looked at the pendant in her hand, couldn't help but smile, and hung it on the saddle bag.

"So, let's go. ”

He whispered goodbye to his departing companion, turned around, and walked forward.
