…
A series of bubbles floated upward like transparent jellyfish.
Water came from all directions. My whole body was wet. I couldn't close my eyes and felt uncomfortable touching the water. There is also water in the ears, bang bang bang bang. There was so much water that I choked on it, which was so uncomfortable.
The body sinks downward and the air flies upward. The bubbles are getting further and further away from me. He wanted to reach out and grab the air, but his left hand was squeezing his neck, and his right hand couldn't move. There was nothing he could do.
Down, down. Unable to breathe, indescribable discomfort, unable to move, it was a different kind of pain than in a small shop. This time it was physical torture, and thinking was becoming increasingly difficult to continue. This is, I am now...
Suddenly, she understood her situation.
She is going to die.
After thinking about this, my mind became incredibly active again. This may be a gift from the gods to mankind, a little mercy that can only be enjoyed before death. Scenes of the past flowed before my eyes. When I was separated from my family, when I was brought to the Capital of the Sky, I lived alone, scaring away and killing everyone who dared to intrude on me. Living alone was very boring. I met Gongsun Ce. I met Mo Yuankai and the doctor senior sister, but it was still boring.
Still very lonely.
Try to find people in need and offer kindness. I helped some people, but they left unaccustomed. Not helping some people, they don't need help. A few people got along well with each other, and within a few days, they left. I kept repeating it and failed again and again. When I was even discouraged, I picked up a dirty boy.
Met Reiichi Shigure.
Someone wants to be by your side all the time.
Not so lonely anymore.
Gongsun Ce also became easy to get along with. Met Qin Qianbai. There is a small group. There are more friends. The days that followed flew by in the blink of an eye, and the memories suddenly jumped to today, to the present.
Now she is dying.
She wanted to smile, so that she could die more beautifully, but she couldn't. The expression on his face must be ugly.
How shameless. He said he wanted to protect Qiluo, but ended up in a place like this.
…
The hat also floated, just like the bubbles, drifting away from the dark bottom and towards the light.
She wanted to stop the rapidly changing scene and at least take another look at the happy memories. The flowing memories stopped, and she saw herself in high school.
It is a club activity of the Astronomy Club.
It is said to be a club activity, but in fact it is just a few people from different grades sitting in a small classroom after school and chatting. A senior came over and struck up a conversation a few times, but after being rejected, he never mentioned it again. This club was boring, but it was quite new to her, who was participating in such activities for the first time.
She was ready to make the club more dynamic, so she carefully made several activity plans, purchasing new equipment, going to high-rise buildings in Longshou District to watch the stars, and going to the university to contact the instructor... Every time she proposed it, everyone laughed bitterly. The senior said with a grimace that club activities like this are pretty good now. Clubs don't have that much funding, and besides, no one wants to go through too much trouble.
She thought she was just looking for excuses and had no enthusiasm. She made the fifth plan. This time she took into account the free time of other club members and the remaining funds in the club. It was perfect. It should be an activity suitable for everyone.
The president pushed the plan aside without even looking at it. He seemed to be angry, sighed heavily, and provocatively suggested that he go to sing karaoke or simply go to a nightclub next time. Others agreed. His attitude was as if he had done something wrong, and his comments were extremely noisy.
She was also angry and disappointed. So the whole classroom was burned down.
The incident in the Astronomy Club turned a page, and the memories of high school continued. She saw the gangsters who came to strike up a conversation, the classmates who criticized behind her back, the girls who spread messages, and many more irritating people and things... She solved all these with a fire.
After that, few students dared to approach her.
She saw herself angrily asking Reiichi why the people around him were so boring. Reiichi responded with a wry smile and said nothing.
Reiichi knew that answer would not make her happy. She knew it too.
In fact, she has always understood why she has so few friends.
Her character sucks.
She always uses her superpowers to solve everything.
People called her Red Lion. She hates this title, she hates it extremely when someone calls her a similar title.
Because she knew it was the right nickname.
She is irritable, neurotic, self-righteous and self-centered. He always has his own expectations of others. Once others are not as "interesting" as he imagined, he will make a hysterical fuss, like a wild beast that relies on violence to act arbitrarily. In the end, he screwed everything up, scared everyone away, and sat alone in the ruins feeling sad.
Fortunately, Lian Yi was there.
Reiichi always tolerated her willfulness, accompanied her to various places, and never complained about anything. After being with him for a long time, she really thought that she had changed too. He is no longer so willful, has matured, and is easy to get along with... until today, his true colors have been revealed.
After a ball of fire was thrown away, Reiyi was also blasted away by himself. Just because he made a joke, just because the situation did not develop as he imagined...
That became the last meeting between them.
She didn't even get a chance to say sorry.
She did change, not for the better, but for the worse.
…
Memories no longer surfaced, and the morbid thinking slowed down and stopped little by little. You can't see the bubbles, you can't see the hat, you can't even feel your own body.
She vaguely glimpsed black shadows. The apparition before death came so late.
Sorry, Reiichi.
The shadow held her in his arms like a real person.
Lift her up to the light.
…
"fire……"
The sounds in my ears were jumbled and I couldn't hear them clearly.
The body was being slapped again and again, and water was spit out involuntarily. Gradually, noises could be heard, as if someone was shouting something.
"Card...fire...!"
Can't do it. She was groggy. Because...for some reason...it can't be done...
There was a strange feeling on the lips, and the gas was sent into the mouth, with a reassuring warmth and a temperature that was familiar to someone.
I'm being...
"Cardesia, turn into fire!!"
The consciousness of self-destruction was suppressed by the stronger emotions, and she turned into a ball of flame, and then changed back again in embarrassment.
The water evaporated, and she breathed in the air. Memories awakened in her mind: the power of Death Wings, the skull's calculations, the fleeting moment when she was drowning, the shadow that hugged her... the warmth from her lips. …
"Ahem?!"
Caldesia opened her eyes suddenly, and she subconsciously wanted to cover her lips, but found that her right arm was still unable to move, and her left arm was firmly grasped by someone.
The man was right next to her, wearing a black suit, his handsome face was pale, and his eyes seemed to be burning.
"Reiichi—?!"
Shigure Rei hugged the girl, water droplets dripped from the ends of her hair, hitting her clothes that were also soaked.
"Demon Town Museum"
"Caldesia."
Their bodies pressed together. Reiichi's voice was still steady, but she noticed that the man's whole body was trembling. He was obviously the one who saved people, but he was even more frightened than herself who almost died.
He hugged her so hard, like a child holding a treasure in his hand, as if the girl would disappear as soon as he let go, heading to a place where he could never find her again.
Caldesia breathed softly.
"It's okay, Reiichi."
She comforted the man in a low voice, even though she was the one being saved.
"It's okay, Reiichi, I'm not dead."
Shigurei panted heavily and slowly let go of his hand.
He picked up the girl without any explanation, causing a cry of surprise.
"Qiluo sent me a message. My ability can't contact you. I contacted Gongsun and got a warning. We have been plotted. Do you have any electronic devices that can be connected to the Internet?"
She didn't realize what the other person was saying, so she subconsciously answered.
"I should have brought my mobile phone and gave it to Qiluo..."
"This should be able to temporarily block interference." He nodded, "In addition, the skull's superpower has not changed. The inversion of the single-wing logo is the effect of the spiritual phase. This time he asked the Impermanent Envoy for help."
He walked out of the reservoir with the girl in his arms. There were ten men in black lying around the exit, their faces distorted, as if they had suffered indescribable fear. There was a familiar red sports car parked on the roadside. Shigurei opened the door and placed the girl in the passenger seat.
"The car came to pick me up automatically, it must be Qiluo's help. Don't worry, I removed the car's networking module on the way here." He explained to the stunned girl, "Someone tampered with the transportation system, I almost It’s too late.”
He clenched his fists.
Caldesia opened and closed her mouth like a landed fish. She admitted that her brain couldn't keep up with the development of things. She didn't understand how Reiyi did these things, let alone what Reiyi meant by saying so much. She only understood two things, one was that Reiichi saved her life, and the other was that she suddenly stopped breathing and her left hand started to move restlessly.
"It's okay, it's okay Reiichi! I've been hit more than this now, so stay away from me first and it might hurt you!!"
The young man from Lingdao took off his gloves, revealing the backs of his hands covered with scars.
"Cardesia, hold my hand."
He ordered softly, and the girl took the ugly hand in confusion and shock.
"The price is a minute of stinging, and the reward is three minutes of transferring the curse to my body."
In an instant, the body became lighter and the will to self-destruction really disappeared. She watched the young man close the car door and sit back in the driver's seat, with an expression as if she had met him for the first time.
"So..." Caldesia asked worriedly, "Is this your real ability? But Reiichi, Kushou's ability is-"
"I know."
Temporary transfer is a much smaller price to pay than cure. The skull's ability is essentially a curse.
Coincidentally, his only specialty is also curses.
The young man held the steering wheel tightly and looked at his dear girl with a chuckle.
"I will tell you everything later, leave it to me now."
She looked at the familiar smile on the young man's face and felt relieved for no reason.
"Who the hell are you!" "Get out of the car!" "Get out of here, you bastard!" There was a lot of noise outside the car, and the men in black who were urgently dispatched to deal with the accident yelled and raised their weapons. The machine guns were firing, and bullets were flying. Crackling on the car, they all turned into toys before being professionally bulletproofed. The young man stepped on the accelerator, and beautiful blue fire erupted from the rear of the sports car. The engine of the Red Meteor was running at full speed, roaring, and knocking the men in black into the air several meters high! Deathwing's obstruction was in vain, and the sports car rushed out of the reservoir with screams and sparks!
"Wow!"
Just as Caldesia screamed excitedly, she suddenly said abruptly: "Did you kiss me just now?"
The young man in a suit was handing over a wet top hat, and his arms stiffened after hearing this.
"I'm doing artificial respiration... I mean..." The girl's beaming look made him even more embarrassed, "Let's talk about this later, okay, Caldesia? At least finish the thing at hand first. "
She put on her hat and rolled her eyes.
"So are we going on a date now, or is this just another prank?"
The young man in the suit looked as if he had been choked.
"Let's first..."
He picked up the white gloves but didn't have time to put them on. Caldesia grabbed his hand and put the scarred back of it against her smooth face.
Shigurei was stunned.
She gently rubbed the back of the young man's hand, speaking unyieldingly and not giving in an inch.
"A date, or a prank?"
Rei Shigure looked at the stubborn girl, her blond hair shining like the rays of the sun. He couldn't close his eyes for a while, his lips twisted in distress, and finally broke out into a smile. There was helplessness and calmness in the smile, as well as an unprecedented freedom and ease.
"What were you planning to do, Caldesia?"
"Oh, I originally planned to blow the skull's head off."
"Okay, let's go on a date."
The red sports car sped away, and the two of them ran towards death. Shigure Reiichi's response was stretched extremely long by the wind.
"By the way, blow the skull's head off."
