If you want to avoid it, you will end up encountering it more easily.
Lin Kong couldn't figure it out until a long time later. He had tried very hard to avoid the car accident, but why he still encountered falling debris.
“Squeak!”
The sound of the tires rubbing against the ground was sharp and piercing, instantly startling countless birds, which all flapped their wings and flew away in panic.
When the bus was halfway up the mountain, it encountered a rock collapse on the same section of road at the same time. Coupled with brake failure, it crashed through the guardrail and flipped off the cliff.
It’s over. Everyone in this car will die.
When Lin Kong lost weight and fell off the cliff, this was the only clear thought in his mind, and then he lost consciousness in the violent impact.
He felt that if he was lucky, he might meet Helemis like before. If he was unlucky, he would probably be smashed into a pulp if he fell a little off.
Everything depends on fate.
The morning wind was still a little chilly, and the yellow bus fell straight into the valley. But except for the sound of a few falling stones, there was no other echo, as if it had fallen into some unknown place.
Lin Kong wanted to confirm which time point he had traveled to, but he didn't realize that his actions only irritated the other party further.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Lin Kong was a little confused when he saw this. He closed his eyes and rubbed his head. He suddenly couldn't understand how things were going. Normally, after he fell off the cliff from the bus, shouldn't he have wandered for a few days before being picked up by Helemis? How could this happen
Lin Kong broke out in a cold sweat, his body trembled violently, and he finally woke up from the endless darkness. He opened his eyes dazedly, and all he saw was darkness. The air was filled with a rotten and damp smell, like moldy wood, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Where is he...
Helemis never expected that Lin Kong would ask for food as soon as he woke up. He was stunned for a moment, then let go of Lin Kong, got up from the ground and walked out of the hall, hurriedly saying: [Wait for me to come back! ]
Helemis had been almost awakened, and he opened his eyes instantly after Lin Kong pushed him. He reflexively grabbed the hand on his waist out of the alertness of a wild animal, and looked at the intruder sharply. However, when he met Lin Kong's dark eyes, his expression suddenly froze, unable to hide his shock and astonishment.
Helemis…
Lin Kong struggled to move his body, but his hands and feet seemed to be tied up, and he even had difficulty breathing. He turned his head and was caught off guard by a pale and handsome face. The other person was sleeping soundly, with frosty eyelashes drooping slightly, casting a thick shadow. Even without opening his eyes, Lin Kong knew that he had a pair of eyes that were more gorgeous than rubies.
Oh shit, I feel dizzy!
Lin Kong felt extremely weak after not eating for 800 years, and he saw stars in front of his eyes. He pushed Helemis who was sleeping beside him with difficulty, and couldn't help but wake him up: "Helemis, wake up, Helemis?!"
Helemis couldn't help tightening his fingertips, and held Lin Kong's cheek tightly. His usually cold face was distorted by the excitement, and his breathing became rapid. He whispered word by word: [Lin Kong, you are alive? You are alive, right? ]
Helemis stroked Lin Kong vigorously, fearing that he would disappear from her sight. Finally, she hugged him in her arms with such force that she almost broke his bones.
Although Lin Kong didn't know why Helemis was staring at him with such a terrifying look, he still stayed where he was and asked tentatively: "Hermes? Do you still recognize me?"
“Plop!”
Lin Kong looked around with his dark eyes open and found that it looked familiar, very similar to the temple before. He couldn't help but move, breaking free from Helemis's embrace and getting up from the ground, but the next second he fell back down because of dizziness.
Helemis' pupils shrank into pinpoints, and he suspected that he was dreaming. Wasn't Lin Kong dead? How could he suddenly come back to life?! As if to confirm something, he reached out to Lin Kong in doubt and touched his neck.
pain…
It feels warm and delicate, and if you hold it close you can even feel the blood flowing, just like a living person.
"Lin... Kong?"
My chest and bones hurt, as if someone had taken me apart and forced me to lie on a pile of broken glass, unable to even breathe.
Lin Kong burst into an earth-shattering cough, and finally determined the time he was in. He said with difficulty in his hoarse voice: "I am alive, but if you pinch me again, I will die soon. Can you give me something to eat..."
After all, Helemis had lived with Lin Kong for so long, he knew each other's taste. Now, let alone Lin Kong being hungry and wanting to eat, even the moon in the sky would be no problem. In less than an hour, Helemis returned with a full load of processed prey.
While Lin Kong was waiting in the temple, he quietly checked his body and unexpectedly found that the marks of being stabbed by Jia Yan had disappeared. It was not until Helemis came back that he could not help but ask: "Hermes, why are the wounds on my body gone? Did you make them disappear?"
Helemis lowered his eyes and helped Lin Kong deal with the prey, then clumsily made a fire. Hearing this, he gave a silent “hmm”, as if the ecstasy just now was just an illusion: [I’m sending you life force to heal your wounds.]
Lin Kong glanced at him quietly, inexplicably concerned about this question: "How much did you lose?"
Helemis didn't seem to be trying to hide it, and calmly said: [A whole winter and spring.]
Lin Kong's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and he asked in surprise, "An entire winter plus spring? How much vitality do you have to transfer? Isn't it a waste?!"
He had thought that after his death, Helemis would find a way to cast a spell to save him, one or two days, or ten days or half a month, but he never expected that he would persist for so long. Lin Kong remembered that it was still winter when he fell down, but now when he looked outside, the trees were already shady.
[But you are dead.]
Helemis squatted on the ground, holding the dead prey with an expressionless face, and spoke with an almost paranoid seriousness, saying word by word: [No breathing, no body temperature, no heartbeat. If I don't give you vitality, you will start to rot in no time. ]
Lin Kong was alive and beautiful, and Helemis didn't like to see him turn into a pile of rotten meat.
"and you… "
Lin Kong pursed his lips when he heard that. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He looked at Helemis with complicated eyes and said softly: "Then you don't have to be like this. I'll die if I die."
He was just a prey. Why should Helemis be so sad and worried about a prey
Hearing this, Helemis tightened his fingertips, suddenly broke the branch in his hand, narrowed his eyes and said fiercely: [You are not allowed to die! ]
As if he felt that this sentence was not significant enough, he repeated it in a deep voice: [Lin Kong, you are not allowed to die!]
"Okay, okay, okay, I won't die. Who wants to die when they can live, right?"
Lin Kong was used to being petted, he approached Helemis with a smile, and seeing that he was cooking for him, he softened his heart and leaned over to give him a kiss: "Actually, I missed you quite a lot during this period."
I really miss it.
During the time that Lin Kong was unconscious, he always felt that he was in a dark and narrow space and could not wake up. Later, when he opened his eyes, he was inexplicably back on the bus. At that time, he did not have time to think too much. He just wanted to rescue the people on the bus as soon as possible, so he tried his best to stop the process.
Now that he thinks about it, if the car hadn't flipped over, he wouldn't have met Helemis.
"well… "
Lin Kong sighed inexplicably. He didn't know what happened to the other people in the car. Did they fall to pieces? But since he, who was so fragile, survived, there was no reason why they couldn't survive, right? Especially the idiot boy who pressed him against the car window. He looked quite skilled.
While Lin Kong was daydreaming, Helemis had already started a fire. He found a nest of bird eggs from somewhere. The eggs were pale blue in color and only the size of quail eggs. He threw them into the fire and roasted them in a few minutes. Helemis was not afraid of the heat. He grabbed the blackened eggs and shook them with his mental power. The broken shells fell off with a crackling sound, revealing the white egg meat inside, which was still steaming.
"Bird eggs?! Where did you find them?!"
Lin Kong couldn't hide his surprise when he saw this. He immediately took a few and ate them. He breathed heavily due to the heat, but his eyes were still fixed on the pile of barbecue on the ground.
Helemis imitated Lin Kong's cooking method and skewered the meat on branches and roasted it slowly. He frowned slightly, as if he didn't like the scorching heat. The flames occasionally licked over him and even singed his hair a little.
Lin Kong couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he took it from him and said, "Let me roast it, your hair is burnt."
Helemis did not stop him and let go of his hand. He tilted his head and stared at Lin Kong's face, which was illuminated by the flames. He felt as if they had returned to the time when they were in the cave. He suddenly said, "Lin Kong..."
Lin Kong took the time to look at him: "Huh? What's wrong?"
Helemis: [The Insect King is dead.]
Lin Kong paused after hearing this, and blinked a little late. He remembered that he seemed to have ripped out the heart of the Insect King. It seemed that it would be difficult for the other party to survive. "Did I kill him?"
Helemis said, "Hmm": [You killed him.]
Lin Kong was amused when he heard this, and a bit of arrogance inevitably appeared on his face: "Look, you still have to rely on me at the critical moment, and none of you can do it... By the way, do you have a new king now?"
Helemis was silent this time. He stared at Lin Kong without saying a word, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, like a cold and indifferent statue. The aura of a superior being could not be ignored: […]
Lin Kong realized something and his expression changed for a moment: "You guys are not..."
Helemis closed his eyes calmly, inadvertently revealing a bit of arrogance.
Lin Kong was shocked and said, "You don't want me to be the king, do you?!"
Helemis: […]
What the hell is Lin Kong thinking about
Helemis opened his eyes and frowned, very dissatisfied with Lin Kong's poor eyesight: [It's me. ]
He explained unhappily: [The new king of the Zerg is me.]
There are actually more hidden meanings behind this sentence. For example, they no longer have to fear the threats from the Insect King, no longer have to go out hunting in fear, and can settle down and live a good life.
And as for the escaped Jia Yan, Helemis finally had time to deal with him.
I don’t know if Lin Kong can understand.
Lin Kong didn't understand. He curled his lips and snorted in his heart, thinking that he was the one who killed the Insect King, so how could Helemis get away with it? "If you ask that, I thought the Insect King was me."
Helemis asked in an ambiguous tone: [Do you really want to be king? ]
If Lin Kong wants to, it's not impossible.
Lin Kong smiled and made a face at him: "I don't want to be a king, I want to be a salted fish."
The kind of salted fish that just eats and waits to die.
In the following time, Lin Kong ate barbecue while listening to Helemis telling him about what happened during this period. The more he listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. When he learned that Helemis had originally planned to eat him today, the barbecue in his mouth no longer tasted good.
Lin Kong looked at Helemis subtly: "Didn't you say you were going to eat me? Why didn't you eat me?"
He was glad that he woke up early, otherwise he would have nowhere to cry with missing limbs.
Helemis didn't say anything. He frowned and stared at the ground, looking a little annoyed, as if he didn't know the answer himself. After a moment, he finally uttered a sentence: [I...]
He paused, and his voice suddenly became softer, with a seriousness that could not be ignored: [I can’t bear to…]
That’s right, I’m reluctant.
He knew that Lin Kong was afraid of pain, so he couldn't eat him. At the same time, he had a glimmer of hope in his heart that he shouldn't have. What if Lin Kong woke up the next second
Helemis stared at Lin Kong quietly. His scarlet eyes were no longer cold, but instead showed many human emotions:
[Lin Kong, I would rather rot with you...]
If we replace the meaning of this sentence, it is equivalent to: I want to die with you.
Lin Kong was shocked by Helemis' simple words, and was a little flustered. He subconsciously stood up from the ground, fanning himself with the corner of his clothes, and walked to the door of the temple: "What's the matter with rotting or not? We are both alive and well, why are you saying such things?"
"My hometown is very taboo about this word. Even if you die of laughter, you can't say you died. You have to say you got rich by laughing."
"Why don't you change it to 'Lin Kong, I want to get rich with you'? Doesn't this sentence sound much better?"
Lin Kong tends to talk a lot when he is nervous. He chatters away without even knowing what he is saying. His fair skin looks red and very hot.
Helemis walked behind him calmly, and suddenly felt that Lin Kong was very beautiful like this. There was something called "desire" in her heart, which made her internal organs itchy.
[Lin Kong, sleep with me.]
This was the most direct way for Helemis to express his feelings. After he finished speaking, he gently grasped Lin Kong's wrist and led him towards the stream, which confused the latter.
Too... too direct, right
Lin Kong subconsciously glanced at the night sky around him and reached out to stop Helemis: "It's dark now, bring some clothes, what if you encounter the red moon?"
Hearing this, Helemis paused, turned back to look at Lin Kong, and then shook his head: [There is no blood moon, Lin Kong. ]
Lin Kong: "What?"
Helemis stretched out a pale, slender hand toward the sky and gently swept it across the night. The branches and leaves that blocked out the sun automatically parted, revealing a gap.
A silver moon hung above the treetops, quietly emitting a bright and clear light, against the cool night breeze. It was as beautiful and eternal as the one on Earth.
At that moment, Lin Kongru felt like seeing an old friend.
