…
Li emerged from the bow turret of the White Sands and rushed to the Dragonborn docking point at the side and rear. After separating from the crowd, she saw Xia Fan lying motionless on the ground. Qian Yan put a hand on his chest and shook his head slightly, and her heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
"Xia Fan... is he okay?" When she asked this question, she felt her tone trembling slightly.
"It's okay." Qian Yan retracted his hand and said.
"Ah?" Li stumbled, "Are you okay?"
"Breathing evenly, breathing normally, no obvious internal or external injuries, of course everything is fine." Qian Yan turned to look at her, "What's wrong? Do you think he's in a bad condition?"
Then why are you shaking your head? Li was choked for a moment, and finally could only roll his eyes silently, "Then why is he lying down?"
"The second thunderstorm was too heavy and used up all the energy, which eventually led to coma. This symptom can be recovered by taking a rest."
Hearing this, Li finally felt relieved. She looked at the girl who was squatting next to Xia Fan and was all wet. "What about you? Are you injured anywhere?"
The latter turned a deaf ear and just kept looking at Xia Fan.
There was obvious concern in her eyes.
"She can't hear you, probably because her ears were deafened by the thunder. Of course... For a demon, this kind of injury can be recovered in about half a day." Qianyan pulled Taksis's sleeves and gestured to her. A gesture.
The latter looked obviously surprised, but quickly responded with gestures.
"What's this?"
"Western Sign Language, I learned it from Miss Olina when I was at sea." Qian Yan replied, "I asked her if she needed help. There is a therapist on the White Sands. She said no, she still has her subordinates. Need to look for it. Since the person has been delivered, she left first."
Having said this, Taxis had already stood up and greeted the two of them by stroking her breasts.
"She also said that the Church of Hera will always remember the help from the Eastern Envoy. She will visit again when the matter is over."
After making the gesture, Taxis transformed into a dragon again, spread her wings and flew towards the upper city after the rainstorm stopped.
"What about us?" Olina leaned over and asked.
"Let's return to the harbor first. Let's wait until Xia Fan wakes up to talk about the rest." Li glanced at the messy Azure Castle - after the dark clouds dispersed, the sun reappeared in the sky, and the streets and alleys of the past turned into sparkling rivers. . But this situation will not last long. Since the demon turned into ashes, the seawater flowing into the city has receded at a speed visible to the naked eye. Now all the boats are seizing the opportunity to evacuate the downtown area to avoid becoming part of the city street scene. "I'm afraid it will take quite some time for the city to return to its original state."
Xia Fan didn't sleep for long.
Almost an hour later, he opened his eyes.
The scene in front of him changed from the uptown area to the captain's room, and the person taking care of him also changed from Taksis to Li.
"How are you doing? Do you still feel uncomfortable?" The fox demon placed a basin of hot water next to the bed. "The elf doctor has used the resuscitation technique on you, but it cannot remove toxins and magic wounds."
Xia Fan realized that his hearing had recovered. Not only that, but the soaked clothes on his body had also been replaced with new ones. With the dry and clean big bed under him, he actually felt like he had been reborn.
"No, I feel better. Where is Miss Taxis?"
"She went to look for her team members. The trial team suffered a lot of losses in this battle. I don't know how many people will be left in the end." Li handed him the wet towel, "Wipe your neck, there are all the people on it. It’s mud.”
Xia Fan did as he was told, "What about the big devil?"
"It was smashed into pieces by the thunder pillar, and I couldn't die any more."
"Crushed?" His heart skipped a beat, "Is what you saw shattered?"
Li tilted his head, "The area where the mine struck was too bright at the time, so I could only take a few glances intermittently. What, is the way it died important?"
"That's not what you mean..." Xia Fan organized his words, "Didn't you see a huge crack?"
At that time, it could swallow the evil spirit whole, and its size would never be any smaller. Anyone who can see demons will probably not miss this crack.
However, Li's answer surprised him slightly.
"I have no impression of this." She shook her head and said, "Why, was there something fishy in the lightning at that time?"
The fox demon didn't even notice!
Could this be an illusion from beginning to end
Now that he thought about it a little, he could still clearly remember every detail he saw in that dark space.
"You... saw something different?" Seeing his silence, Li asked keenly.
After Xia Fan thought for a moment, he fully recounted his experience after flying into the rift.
By the time he finished speaking, the water in the basin had turned cold.
After a long time, Li crossed his arms and shuddered, "What you said... is a little too bizarre, isn't it!?"
"I think so too." Xia Fan sighed, "Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's not the vastness outside the platform that makes it appear black, but the black mist behind the transparent wall, which makes it seem like there's no end there."
When the monster pounced on him, it briefly squeezed away the black mist, allowing him to see its face. As for how many things are hidden in the black mist behind its plump insect body, it is completely unknown.
What is certain is that that thing is not on the same level as the Twin Icons at all.
Even through the barrier, he could feel the strong negative emotions projected by the other party - if he compared the two, the Twin Demons were as childish as a newborn baby in front of it.
"Maybe I know the reason." Li suddenly clapped his hands and said.
"What is it?" Xia Fan asked quickly.
"Because you're the listener!"
"Uh..." He couldn't help but raise his forehead, "Is it because of this?"
"Have you ever thought about what kind of news other listeners have heard?" Li picked up the basin and poured the water from the window. "From ancient times to the present, every listener can obtain information that is useful to him/her. Really? I’m afraid it’s not such a coincidence, right?”
Xia Fan said thoughtfully, "You mean, they will also encounter some extremely bad things?"
"It may even cause madness and death. But such listeners will not leave their names in history, and naturally no one will notice this."
Survivor bias, Xia Fan thought, there is some truth to this. He was not a listener before, but that does not mean that he will not be a listener in the future. After all, according to the theory of the Privy Council, a person who senses Qi has the possibility of further awakening as a listener before reaching adulthood. Luo Qingqing mastered the magic "Dragon Scale" because of "listening", and he got frightened because of "listening". Both of them have a bright future - ah! In short, it makes sense to apply Li's theory, not to mention that seeing a white gate in the endless white desert is somewhat similar to seeing a pitch-black barrier on the platform of Black Longdong.
Although there is no way to prove this theory.
