Song Wenbin sat on the edge of the ice crevice and cried. As he cried, he felt a little itchy on his head, and some white threads were flying in front of his eyes.
He sobbed and looked up.
But he saw a pale face looking at him expressionlessly.
Are you watching?
Yes, but not entirely, this guy's eyes are still closed. But that gesture, that movement, is clearly looking.
But whether she was watching or not, Song Wenbin stopped crying.
There is no doubt that the guy wearing a down jacket, standing behind him, bending down and looking at him, is Sutina.
The ups and downs of life are too fast. From death to life in an instant, the so-called rest of life is just like this.
He looked at Sutina blankly.
During the long boring arctic, at an inconspicuous moment, he sadly discovered that this guy was so important.
Huge joy enveloped Song Wenbin, and he almost rushed to hug her, but before he could turn his impulse into action, the joy turned into anger.
Sutina did not fall into the ice hole, but what happened to these footprints? ? Why is she standing behind him again? ?
The anger turned into shame again. Thinking of the moment when he burst into tears just now, he felt extremely resistant. What is this, that I, the misogynist, cry for women? ?
He quickly wiped the ice at the corners of his eyes and asked through gritted teeth: "Sutina... what are you doing here..."
No response.
The man with his eyes closed slowly stretched out his hand, with a certain attitude that was firm and brooking no protest, and hugged him without any explanation.
"Baby……"
Sutina murmured with her eyes closed.
Song Wenbin was embarrassed and struggled to get away from her, gasping and grabbing her arm: "Have you had enough trouble? Go back quickly!
Do you know how annoying you are? "
After Sutina was pushed away lightly, Song Wenbin was afraid that she would fall into the ice hole. He was so frightened that he quickly grabbed her again: "Don't move!"
But Sutina staggered away. She still kept her swaying steps and swayed by the ice crevice.
Song Wenbin looked at her puzzling movements, and his heart that had just been relieved rose to his throat again.
The fear of falling into the ice cave before was still vivid in his mind. That was because Huo Yu was nearby. If Su Tina fell in now, Huo Yu would not be nearby anymore. Besides... this ice crack was much bigger than before. Inside the cracked ice surface is a bottomless dark blue, which is a sea basin with a depth of more than 6,000 meters. There will be inexplicable rumbling sounds from inside, as if the earth is breathing.
"What are you doing... come back quickly!
"
Song Wenbin hunched over and reached out to Sutina again, trying to pull her away from the dangerous frozen crack.
But she swayed slightly to avoid his hand, leaving Song Wenbin free.
Song Wenbin was stunned. He looked at his hands. Previously, Su Tina was facing him, so she could get away with it, but now it was clear that Su Tina's back was to him, but she was able to avoid him silently.
Not believing in evil, he stretched out his hand and pulled it a few more times, but there was no doubt that these attempts were perfectly dodged.
Song Wenbin was really shocked at this time.
"Kekeke..."
While hiding, the swaying figure actually laughed, and the laughter was filled with joy and teasing.
Song Wenbin's chest rose and fell violently. He didn't care what evil magic this guy had practiced, he just urged anxiously: "Su Tina, come back quickly... stop wandering around..."
Sutina slowly turned her head and looked at him.
Song Wenbin could also feel that the other party was looking at her, but her eyes were closed. What on earth was she looking at at herself?
Then, a malicious smile slowly appeared on that face.
Then, Song Wenbin saw a scene that stunned him. He saw Sutina walking on the edge of the ice crevasse against the howling cold wind. While swinging back and forth, he opened his arms, floating like an immortal controlling the wind, leaving footprints one after another on the snow.
She stepped on her own footprints, sometimes moving forward and sometimes retreating. When she retreated, there would be no mistakes at all, and she would completely step on the footprints she had left before.
The pace was messy and disorderly, with no human characteristics at all. It seemed that walking forward and backward, forward and backward, made no difference to her.
However, there is some kind of strange beauty in the mess. Like a dance, she is swaying on the edge of the ice crevice. With her white hair, she is like an elf in the snow. She steps on those footprints, sometimes away from the crack, sometimes away from it. It is extremely close, sometimes only a few centimeters away from the crevasse.
Song Wenbin was stunned, not daring to say a word. He was terrified, lying on the ground, looking at her carefully for fear of scaring her.
Although but... he could also see that this guy was actually very happy and enjoying himself at the moment...
Faced with such a strange reality.
Song Wenbin didn't know what to do.
Forcefully wake her up?
That way she might really fall.
Don't wake her up?
That would be too scary.
When Song Wenbin was in a dilemma, suddenly, the swaying and dancing person in front of him came back, touched his head, and whispered in his sleep: "Baby..."
Song Wenbin's lips moved, and he looked at her as if she were a ghost, saying nothing.
"The baby doesn't talk..." she murmured again.
In the cold air of minus 30 degrees Celsius, Song Wenbin even broke out in a cold sweat. What did this guy mean? Can he still talk to people while sleepwalking?
"You...why did you call me baby..."
Song Wenbin asked tentatively.
To be honest, this kind of thing is very difficult for him to understand.
"You treat me like a mother, why don't I treat you like a baby..."
That person's voice was illusory and ethereal. Although it had Sutina's voice, it had a completely different feeling.
Song Wenbin:......
After being speechless for a long time, he stammered and asked: "You...you...who are you?
"I am me," she replied.
Song Wenbin didn't know how to answer this, and he didn't know how he could communicate with others while sleeping, but he didn't care to think about it. Seeing that the other party could communicate, he didn't care about the embarrassment, so he said, "Then...Old, mom...can you go back with me...it's so dangerous there..."
"Danger...are you talking about...this terrain...?"
Mother Su asked, pointing to the crack in the ice.
"Otherwise..." Song Wenbin was going crazy. In the Arctic, what could be more dangerous than ice cracks?
But she said: "There is no such thing as danger in the world...There are only dangers you think...Dangerous things you think...For me...it is very beautiful here..."
"Ri... aren't you afraid of falling?"
"Falling...well...it's not like this kind of thing has never happened..." she said: "But maybe I will give birth to a body and a mind anytime and anywhere..."
Song Wenbin's eyes widened.
"How's it going? What do you think of the way I pinched your body this time?"
She straightened up, stood in front of Song Wenbin, and struck an enchanting pose.
Song Wenbin has never experienced such a weird conversation before, and it almost makes people crazy before such a conversation.
"Maybe that's the case... But then... our fate will come to an end..." Song Wenbin whispered desperately.
"Are you reluctant to part with it?"
The woman walked up to Song Wenbin with light steps, shook her head next to his face, her expression changed, and she said, "You brought someone here?"
Song Wenbin was startled by her sudden change of expression.
When that smiling face turned serious in an instant, it was as awe-inspiring and inaccessible as a statue. It was clearly right in front of you, but it was far away and untouchable.
He didn't have time to speak.
Noisy voices came from far behind.
"Sutina, Sutina, are you nearby?"
It was Weining and the others. After finding no one in a circle, they followed the footprints to find them.
Somehow, after hearing their shouts, Su Tina, who had been standing next to Song Wenbin while sleepwalking, tilted her body and was about to fall. Song Wenbin quickly hugged her and pressed her to his side.
Then, he took out his walkie-talkie and said to Weining through the walkie-talkie: "Don't come over!
"
Weining had no idea what was going on and asked on the intercom: "Yan, what happened?"
"It's nothing. I found her. You go and drive the car to the nearest place. I will bring her over to you right away." Song Wenbin said.
After Wei Ning left, Song Wenbin looked at Su Tina in disbelief. Looking at this familiar but unfamiliar girl, he couldn't understand how Su Tina knew that someone was coming before Wei Ning and the others came.
"How did you know someone was coming?"
he asked with great curiosity.
The girl slumped on his shoulder seemed to be struggling. She seemed to be experiencing some kind of nightmare, and her eyelids were twitching.
After a full thirty seconds, her twitching eyelids calmed down again.
She leaned against Song Wenbin and said calmly: "I know everything."
Seeing that her voice was still mumbling in her sleep, Song Wenbin removed her palm and repeated, "You know everything."
"I know that there is a polar bear sleeping on the ice sheet fifty kilometers away from us to the south. I know that Huo Yu is waiting for us at the exit two kilometers to the north. She has been waiting for us there for a long time. I know that Baoli is wiping in the car Looking at his lens, I also knew that there were two bowhead whales traveling in the ocean current under the ice 70 meters below our feet. Where are they going? I am really curious..." She murmured with her eyes closed.
"Are you serious... Sutina..." Song Wenbin said in shock: "Is this your dream..."
But the girl whispered lonely: "It's boring..."
"Boring...?" Song Wenbin felt unbelievable, "What kind of monster are you..."
"I'm not a monster, I'm just like you, I'm just an ordinary human being...a repeater..." the girl murmured.
Are you a repeater? Song Wenbin couldn't understand this jumping topic. Didn't you graduate?
Before these words could be asked, the girl started talking to herself. She murmured in her sleep: "Human consciousness did not evolve, but came from dreams... In the early human period... we all lived a life similar to sleepwalking. At that time, all information would naturally appear in dreams. When you were hungry, you would sleepwalk in search of food, and when you were thirsty, you would sleepwalk in search of water. At that time, human consciousness had not yet been completely separated, and you could communicate instantaneously in dreams.
It was later that we got tired of that kind of life. In order to challenge ourselves, to have more fun, more challenges, and experience richer emotions, humans closed off their abilities... and chose to face this with a narrower body. world. I just forgot to turn off this part of the ability... just like... Huo Yu didn't turn off the upper limit of her physical ability... but I found... it was more interesting to turn it off... more sense of exploration... this way... it's too boring... "
Song Wenbin:......
Fortunately, these were just sleep talks, otherwise these words would have been enough to send her to a mental hospital.
At this time, Weining's voice came over the intercom again.
"Yan! Our car is coming, please bring Teacher Su over." The roar of the engine was heard in the distance, and Weining really couldn't wait to take the risk and drove the car over.
The moment Weining's voice came, the mysterious sleepwalking state disappeared quickly like dewdrops shining on the sun. Sutina's body immediately shook and she uttered unexplained mumbles.
Seeing that she was about to wake up, Song Wenbin quickly grabbed her arm and covered her eyes. Although he didn't know why, he thought that the state of not being afraid of death could only be realized in a dream. If he really let her When I woke up, I found myself standing next to a crevasse in the ice. I was so frightened that I knew I would go crazy.
After trembling for a while, Song Wenbin noticed that the eyelids under his fingers were opening, and he carefully moved his fingers away. He saw Sutina's familiar and confused big eyes looking at him.
"Song...Brother Song...?"
Song Wenbin listened to the soft voice and looked at her confused eyes, knowing that the girl was already awake.
He looked at the walkie-talkie in his hand. It seemed that this state of sleepwalking was not stable and would disappear anytime and anywhere. Especially when hearing other sounds.
"I'm here." He said softly,
"Where am I? Am I out of control?"
Sutina said with some fear: "What did I do again?"
"It's okay, you didn't do anything, I'm right by your side."
Song Wenbin said softly: "You are safe. Now, come back with me."
As he said that, he tried to help Sutina up.
"Well……"
Sutina tried to stand up, but as soon as she stood up, her body tilted and she fell on Song Wenbin.
"What's wrong?" Song Wenbin asked.
"My feet are numb..."
she whispered apologetically.
Song Wenbin said no more, just pulled Su Tina from the snow, picked her up, and walked back with her on his back.
The sky gradually darkened, and the smoke on the white snowfield made the place look like an alien wonderland. The camera crew waiting in the distance looked far and near in the eyes of the girl who had just woken up, making it difficult to see clearly. But the man beneath her was so silent and real that she couldn't help lowering her head and gently touching his neck with her nose.
"Brother Song, the extreme night is coming..."
Su Tina whispered from behind Song Wenbin.
"I know."
"If we can't get to the extreme point when the polar night comes, then we will definitely lose." Sutina chuckled.
"It doesn't matter, we have already lost." Song Wenbin said.
"If you lose, you lose."
Sutina curled up on his back, making regular purring sounds. Song Wenbin glanced sideways at her, and she was actually blowing air into his neck, like a fish, which made him itchy. Seeing him looking over, she smiled weakly but narrowly, without stopping to exhale air.
Song Wenbin hesitated to speak.
