late at night.
Ning Tong, who was sleeping, suddenly smelled a faint scent of medicine. After struggling to open his eyelids, he saw Yao Xue getting a stove from nowhere. The bottom of the casserole was burned red, and there was a pot of black unknown substance boiling inside.
"I...I seem to have slept for a long time?" She rubbed her eyebrows. She seemed to have seen Bai Jing in her dream just now?
Yao Xue skillfully poured the medicine into the bowl and brought it to her eyes, "Give up Bai Jing, she has already failed."
"What?" Ning Taki didn't understand.
"Thal is dead, but the new gods have not appeared. You humans are going to be doomed." Yao Xue said seriously, "But you can leave with me. I am your mother and will protect you."
"What a mess." Ning Long knocked over the unfriendly-looking medicine bowl, put on his coat and went outside, while using the communicator to contact Bai Jing.
It's just that all the news is like a stone sinking into the sea, without making any ripples.
When she came to the ground, a celebration was being held in the square. If it weren't for some people clearing the road, she would have even doubted whether the arrival of the blood moon was a dream.
"Ning Taki! Have you seen Bai Jing?"
Feng Chu flew the aircraft to her and did not land. He just shouted from the air, looking very urgent.
She choked on the raised dust and fanned her hand: "What's wrong with her?"
"Bai Jing is missing. This is her bracelet." Feng Chu threw the thing he was holding in his hand to her. "As her teacher, you should know better. If you see her, please contact me in time."
In her memory, this was the first time that Feng Chu spoke so politely.
It seems something serious has happened to Bai Jing.
She put the bracelet into her pocket and said, "I'll go with you. There may be a place where she is."
…
Hospital.
"Is this the end?" Chen Zhilan held several jars with eyeballs in them.
Bei Ran followed her, "Well, something is wrong."
"Nonsense! We've been wandering around here all day and night like fools. Can we be satisfied?" She quickly threw away the things in her arms, grabbed a passerby and asked, "Where's Sal?"
Passers-by were stunned when they saw her, and their eyes immediately changed from surprise to admiration: "You must be Bai Jing's teammate! Everyone, come and see, you are Bai Jing's teammate..."
"Really? Is Bai Jing here?"
"Can Bai Jing give me a few words of encouragement..."
Chen Zhilan was frightened by this lively scene. Fortunately, Bei Ran had quick eyesight and quick hands. He lifted her up from the back collar and quickly escaped from the crowd.
As they approached the city gate, those followers were out of sight.
"Oh my god, what kind of magical reality is this?" Chen Zhilan was obviously frightened, but her thoughts were still clear. She raised her face and asked Bei Ran: "You said... did Bai Jing defeat Sal? Then what is she hiding from? ?”
Isn't this a good chance to become a hero? No matter how you say it, it will be beneficial to her.
Bei Ran did not answer her, but pointed to the sky and said, "Look, are those Feng Chu and Ning Long?"
"Huh? Why are the people from the spiritual institute on a mission..." After saying this, Chen Zhilan realized something was wrong.
Something happened to Bai Jing!
She looked towards the city with a complicated expression.
Finally, he walked resolutely towards the outside of the city, "Let's go, let's go too."
Before she had taken a few steps, she was picked up again.
"Bei Ran! Forget it if you don't go, why are you stopping me!" She struggled to get rid of the shackles of that big hand.
The other party pointed to the car behind him: "Drive there, hurry up."
Chen Zhilan blinked and her mouth shape changed into "O".
"Hey, where did you get that supercar?" She immediately pressed on to it, feeling like she was touching gold when she touched it.
Supercars, these are precious gadgets from the old world, let alone in the apocalypse. I’m afraid there won’t even be three of them in the city.
Bei Ran just smiled and said, "Brother is rich."
Chen Zhilan: "Huh?"
She thought she had heard it wrong, and then she laughed loudly when she realized it, "Oh, you've learned so much from Bai Jing, but I like it."
The dazzling look of the car's body was heading towards the civilian area from the city.
After they all left, Old Man Ning stood on top of the city wall, holding a chess piece in his hand, "Bai Jing, Bai Jing, you have no regrets when you make a move."
…
night.
After reconstruction, the common people's atmosphere has a certain charm. Walking through it feels like returning to the night market of the old world.
Whether it’s a celebration of surviving catastrophes or an indifferent attitude towards life, the common people have a wider range of activities at night, and they don’t care whether there are infected people mixed in.
"Little girl, I've been watching you for a long time. Are you hungry? These pancakes are leftover from my stall. If you don't mind, you can take them and eat them."
An aunt in her thirties held up a paper bag and stuffed it into Bai Jing's hand.
She nodded her head slightly in her hat, "Thank you."
Bai Jing did not refuse, but took the food and went to the original park to sit for a while.
She peeled off the paper wrapping the pancake, and the aroma began to tantalize her taste buds. She hesitated for a moment and bit into it.
Except for the occasional humming of men and women in the grass, there was only the rusty creaking sound of the swing back and forth.
"Huo Qi, why did you approach me in the first place?" Bai Jing tiptoed the ground and slowly swayed on the swing with his arms wrapped around the rope.
The voice in my heart also emerged and answered: "Protect."
She chuckled a few times and said, "You want to lie to me too?"
The voice sighed, "We have met a long time ago. There are only two reasons why I want to protect you. First, I will not die temporarily. Second, you are strong enough and are my best parasite."
Hearing this, Bai Jing burst out laughing. He was so frightened that two heads immediately popped out of the grass in the distance and ran away in a panic.
She burst into tears from laughing, "What do you think I am? Do I just do whatever you want me to do? Instead of doing this, just create a puppet."
"Bai Jing, it can only be you." Huo Qi remembered what the clan leader said when he was a child, "You are the most suitable body, and you are also the one recognized by Tianyu."
"Hmph, that's a joke." She ate the pancakes in her hand as if she was angry, "I thought the only hatred I had was my mother who was forced to death, but you told me that they all died because of me, even my last The sister I want to protect is also because of me..."
Losing her eyes, she was deprived of her eyes since birth because of her sister.
Thinking of this, Bai Jing's voice was choked and she fell silent again.
"Shhhh, keep your voice down!"
Suddenly, the rustling sound returned to the grass behind him.
Bai Jing sounded familiar, so he quietly leaned in to listen.
Chen Zhilan: "I said she must be crazy with joy. Look, she has a split personality now. Who can she talk to alone?"
Bei Ran: "Perhaps it's with Black and White Impermanence?"
Chen Zhilan: "You are stupid! When we came here, didn't we bump into the black and white brothers following Ning Long to the east?"
Bei Ran: "Yeah, but I always feel like someone is watching us."
"Eh? Is there any?" Chen Zhilan finally realized that Bai Jing had not spoken for a long time.
She just raised her head and bumped into a face.
