The sky was dark, the long-abandoned city was covered with rust, and the surroundings were deserted. From the gaps in the barren trees and weeds, the shadows of ferocious beasts could be seen vaguely, and occasionally a few sad howls could be heard.
This is the junction between human beings and beasts. The signals are mixed and the positioning system cannot be used normally. Therefore, there is no need to worry about being easily found.
After Ning Xingzhou left with Sikong Yuan, he came here and found a peaceful corner. The medical equipment and supplies were all brought over before his studio was blocked, barely enough to last a month.
But now, more than half a month has passed, but Sikong Yuan shows no sign of waking up. The remaining nutritional medicines are limited, and if this continues, he will have to find a way to go back to the living area to get some medicines.
However, how to avoid the eyes and ears of the military is not a small problem. After all, after he left, the military department issued a search order to search for the traces of the two of them. It was a missing person notice in name, but in fact it was a naked arrest warrant, and the actions were bound to be unavoidable.
I don't know when Sikong Yuan will wake up. Even if he really wakes up, will it be as he thought, is the soul contained in this body still Sikong Yuan
Ning Xingzhou looked down at Sikong Yuan who was still closed on the hospital bed, his eyes were slightly red.
These days, he fantasized about countless situations where Sikong Yuan would wake up, and secretly made up his mind that he would not give the other party a good face, but he silently planned in his heart where the two of them would live when Sikong Yuan woke up.
He thought of countless possibilities, but he refused to think about what he should do if Sikong Yuan couldn't wake up again. All physical indicators are normal, but the world of consciousness is dark. He has searched countless times with the tentacles of mental power, but found nothing.
There is no rejection, but nothing can be felt. It was as if the other party's conscious world was already empty.
Hope that the other party will wake up one day, it is like a dream that will be broken at any time. And he didn't dare to think about the time when he woke up from the dream.
…
Sikong Yuan had a long, long dream.
The sky and the earth are vast and boundless, and the surroundings are pitch black, with no light at all. He seemed to be floating, unable to go up to the sky or down to the ground. He couldn't see or hear anything, and he couldn't tell the direction.
He just kept floating, floating, trying to find something.
He didn't know how long he had been drifting like this. In this space where he couldn't feel the passage of time, even his memory was completely deprived.
He didn't remember who he was, and he didn't understand why he was here. He only vaguely remembered that he wanted to go out from here and meet someone.
He couldn't remember the appearance of that person, but because of this, he desperately wanted to find him, to see his appearance again, and to hear his voice.
There were many times when his consciousness was in chaos, and even his own existence was completely forgotten. Just a little bit, he was engulfed by this boundless darkness and completely merged into one.
Fortunately, whenever the consciousness is in a trance, the strong unwillingness will come to my heart. He hasn't found that person yet, he can't... sleep here.
He wandered here for an unknown number of years.
He seems to be getting bigger little by little, or, this world is getting smaller little by little. Until one day, he discovered that this world is within reach.
So he slowly raised his hand, and bit by bit, tore the darkness to pieces.
At last he saw the light again.
There is also the person who, under the broken light and shadow, made him miss his whole life.
…
Meeting those eyes that opened suddenly, Ning Xingzhou's brain froze for a moment. One moment he was extremely sad, the next moment Sikong Yuan unexpectedly woke up, the accumulated excessive emotions were suddenly stuck in his chest, and he couldn't find an outlet to vent.
The other party looked at him, as always, tender and tender, full of nostalgia.
It's him.
The moment their eyes met, Ning Xingzhou knew that it was Sikong Yuan who had returned.
After not moving for a long time, it is inevitable that he will still be a little stiff when he regains control of his body. Sikong Yuan barely stood up, with a smile in his eyes, he opened his arms towards Ning Xingzhou.
Looking at that posture, he was waiting for Ning Xingzhou to throw himself into his arms.
However, Ning Xingzhou stayed where he was and did not move for a long time. She just stared at him with red eyes, her lips were tight, and she looked aggrieved and pitiful.
Sikong Yuan's heart skipped a beat, belatedly realizing what he had done before.
After a near-death experience, looking back on his original choice, he still has no regrets, but when he looked at Shangning Xingzhou's eyes full of sorrow, thousands of words came out of his mouth into one sentence, "I was wrong."
After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to pull out the tube on his body, strode towards Ning Xingzhou, and gave him a big hug with great strength, it seemed that only in this way could he slightly alleviate the haunting dreams of those countless dark years.
He hugged Ning Xingzhou tightly, and murmured in a low voice: "Sorry, there will be no next time."
Feeling the other person's familiar body temperature and scorching breath, Ning Xingzhou was finally sure that he was not dreaming.
"Hmph, the reaction is quite fast." He raised his hand, hugged Sikong Yuan back with the same strength, rubbed his head in the other's arms, rubbed the moisture from the corners of his eyes on the other's body confidently, and asked groaningly, "What's wrong?"
Sikong Yuan was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking hard, and after a long time, he came to a conclusion, "It's my fault that I'm not strong enough."
"Huh???" Ning Xingzhou couldn't connect to Si Kongyuan's brain circuit for a while, and his head was full of question marks.
"If I can get rid of the disaster consciousness earlier, there will be no later incidents, and you will not be in danger because of it. So, in the final analysis, I am too weak." Sikong Yuan reflected seriously, feeling that he had discovered the nature of the problem.
But in the bottom of my heart, I am somewhat fortunate. Fortunately, he was not strong enough to have the opportunity to meet Ning Xingzhou in the world of consciousness, so he was sure that there was no single arrow between him and Ning Xingzhou.
"... What are you talking about?" Ning Xingzhou looked at a loss, and the grievances that had been accumulated for a long time had inexplicably faded a lot. He was angry because the other party always wanted to exclude him, but the direction of Sikong Yuan's self-reflection was too deviated, right
"You are not weak. In the face of disaster, there is no strong person." Ning Xingzhou rubbed against Sikong Yuan's arms, his voice muffled, "I'm just a little angry. When you are in danger, you always I like to carry it by myself, but it is clear that all the dangers you encountered were caused by me."
"If Ah Yuan is really because of me..." Ning Xingzhou paused, but he didn't say "death" after all. He thought of being forcibly thrown out by Sikong Yuan in the space of consciousness, and could only watch helplessly as the other party was hacked. With the sense of despair engulfed by Yan Yan, his voice trembled violently, "Even if I survived by chance, I should feel... so guilty."
"Obviously..." Ning Xingzhou hugged the other party's hand tightly, his eyes turned red again, "I owe you... enough."
If it weren't for him, Sikong Yuan wouldn't have been plagued by calamity and turned into an experimental subject. For ten years, there would be no day of peace. In order to protect him, he would not abandon the source of disaster and put himself in a desperate situation.
He couldn't imagine how he would deal with himself if the other party really couldn't wake up.
Feeling the trembling of the person in his arms, Sikong Yuan was slightly taken aback, and his low voice was full of apology, "Sorry, I didn't think about it that much. At that time, I just hoped that you could live."
"Besides, you never owed me anything. Although it was an accident to become a calamity host, everything that happened afterward was voluntary. It's to blame..."
Sikong Yuan paused, raised his hand to hold Ning Xingzhou's cheek, and kissed Ning Xingzhou's smooth forehead forcefully, "I can only blame you for being too charming, and you took my heart away early."
Ning Xingzhou's face turned red, his eyes moved down unconsciously, and he muttered softly, "That's two different things."
"Why are there two different things?" Sikong Yuan raised his brows slightly, gently wiped away the teardrops that could not fall from the corners of Ning Xingzhou's eyes with his fingertips, and said gently: "My sweetheart was raised as a container, and I am not allowed to do what I can. What happened?"
Ning Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, "You...you know everything?"
He thought... he was hiding it well.
"Well, I discovered it not long after I became a disaster host." Xu Shi has been in contact with all kinds of people since he was a child, and he is more sensitive to the complexity of human hearts. "I am very fortunate that the person who finally became a container is me."
It is precisely because I have experienced such pain that I feel afraid. If it wasn't for him having a stronger spiritual value, it would be Ning Xingzhou who was tortured every day.
He is reluctant.
He grew up in such an environment, he was in a daze all day long, and he stayed out of the matter of life or death. After meeting Ning Xingzhou, he realized the meaning of life.
"But if this is the case, I feel... more guilty." Ning Xingzhou's voice was muffled, and he was panicked. The more honest the other party was, the more he felt that he was sorry for him.
Sikong Yuan rubbed Ning Xingzhou's head, and laughed lowly, "Speaking of which, except for me, no one should be able to hold on for so long under the hands of Calamity, and survive in the end, right?"
"Hmm... that's right." Ning Xingzhou thought about it seriously and nodded vigorously.
If it were him, under such endless torture day and night, let alone ten years, I am afraid that he would have a nervous breakdown and even commit suicide in less than a year. Even if he manages to survive, sooner or later he will be completely devoured by disaster.
"That's it. It was the best arrangement for me to become a calamity host. There is nothing to feel guilty about." Sikong Yuan said, lifting Ning Xingzhou's chin with his fingertips, forcing the other party to look at him, "Besides Now, what do you think I've been fighting against the disaster for so long, what am I trying to do?"
Ning Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a moment, "What?"
Sikong Yuan took a deep look at him, then slowly leaned closer to his ear, and said slowly: "I'm trying to figure you out."
The other party's voice was very low, full of magnetism, and the breath brushed against the ear, causing a burst of itching.
Ning Xingzhou turned sideways instinctively, the blush spread to his earlobes, and he said lightly, "Rogue."
The other party seems to have a magical power, no matter how serious the topic is, it will develop in a strange direction.
"Why are you so unprincipled now, obviously...it wasn't like this before." Ning Xingzhou couldn't help complaining when he recalled the way the two got along in the past. Although I could vaguely feel that the other party cared about me before, it has never been so straightforward.
It seems to be influenced by the fictional world.
"Really?" Sikong Yuan laughed lowly, "Probably, he suppressed his nature for too long."
Before solving the calamity, there was always a big mountain in my heart. At that time, just being by Ning Xingzhou's side was enough, it wasn't that he didn't want to go further, it was just that he didn't dare.
Because he doesn't know how long he can last.
But in the future, there will be no more such troubles.
"Speaking of which, in the world of consciousness, which of me in those small worlds do you like best?" Sikong Yuan seemed to have remembered something, looked down at Ning Xingzhou, and asked in a low voice.
Ning Xingzhou was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the other party to ask such a question. He tilted his head and thought for a moment, "If I have to choose...it should be Lu Yuan."
Even after a long time, he still remembers that touching heart. That guy could do all the viciousness for him, making him still be tempted even though he knew it was a virtual world.
Thinking about it now, that uncontrollable emotion has actually been around for a long time. Because Sikong Yuan in reality is like this, he was rebellious when he was young, and later he sacrificed his life to follow him.
In fact, he had been moved a long time ago, but under heavy pressure, he didn't have the heart to think about it.
"..." Sikong Yuan never expected that the other party would actually make a serious distinction. Although it was him after all, why was it so unpleasant in his heart
"Shouldn't it, shouldn't it be like everyone? Or... like me the most?" Sikong Yuan shook his head, his brows were confident and flamboyant, Ning Xingzhou hadn't seen such an expression for a long time.
Ning Xingzhou couldn't help but look twice more, but said mercilessly, "You're so narcissistic, who likes you anymore."
"You." Sikong Yuan looked straight at him, and answered with confidence.
Ning Xingzhou couldn't help but rolled his eyes, ignoring him.
I have to admire this guy's thick skin, he can go to heaven with a little color.
"No way, don't you really like me?" Sikong Yuan couldn't believe it, "I don't believe it, where can I find a peerless boyfriend who is so handsome and invincible?"
Ning Xingzhou couldn't hold back for a moment when he spoke such narcissistic words in a serious tone, and was amused by the exaggerated and funny expression of the other party.
Realizing that he was laughing, he coughed lightly to cover up, holding his head high, pinching his thumb and index finger, "I like it a little bit."
"One point is enough." Sikong Yuan grabbed Ning Xingzhou's hand, put it on his lips and kissed him twice, staring straight at him, and his low magnetic voice contained thousands of affections, "The remaining ninety It's nine o'clock, and I'll make it up."
The other party's eyes are affectionate and focused, as if they can never see enough.
"Hmph, I know how to change concepts secretly." Ning Xingzhou snorted lightly, with disgust on his lips, but silently buried himself in the opponent's arms, feeling the strong heartbeat of the opponent, feeling a long-lost peace of mind.
If he wants to spend the rest of his life with someone in the future, the only person that comes to his mind is Sikong Yuan.
Sikong Yuan laughed softly, stroked the back of Ning Xingzhou's head gently, and asked softly, "How is it, do you feel better?"
"Hmm..." Ning Xingzhou lay in the other party's arms, his voice sounded muffled. The other party's teasing comfort method was indeed quite effective, "But you seem to keep changing the subject, and the problem has not been resolved."
Sikong Yuan thought for a moment, then said solemnly: "Actually, if you still can't figure it out baby, you might as well try to think about it the other way around. What would have happened if I wasn't the one who became the calamity host back then?"
"Huh?" Ning Xingzhou raised his head from the other party's arms and looked at him with confusion.
"To be honest, with the energy intensity of the disaster, no one can hold it except me. If you were the one who became the container at the beginning, I am afraid that within a year, the disaster will come to the world completely. At that time, I , as a non-combat personnel who cannot be integrated with the armor, it is useless."
"The final outcome is an unpredictable mass death. You and I are both victims."
A scene of hell, just imagining it makes my scalp tingle. Ning Xingzhou froze in place for a moment, Sikong Yuan's words were not pleasant, but he knew in his heart that what the other party said were all facts.
"But look now, the calamity has been completely wiped out, there have been no mass casualties, and you and I are still alive. Those stubborn old people used the most hateful method, but accidentally got the best the result of."
After finishing speaking, he looked down at Ning Xingzhou and concluded, "Since this is the case, why should you feel guilty?"
It seems to be the case.
Ning Xingzhou froze for a moment, his thoughts were completely led away, but he had a faint feeling that something was wrong.
"The only loss is probably..." Sikong Yuan paused, and looked down at Ning Xingzhou with incomparable sincerity, "The sex and blessing life that came ten years later."
Ning Xingzhou: "..."
He knew that it would be impossible to expect this guy to be upright!
"Not in shape." Ning Xingzhou glared at him, and said lightly, although he said so, he felt very moved in his heart. In order to make himself feel better, the other party just wiped away the ten years of suffering he suffered, which is really the same style as before.
He hugged Sikong Yuan's waist, rubbed against Sikong Yuan's arms, and asked the doubt that had been lingering in his heart for a long time, "How did A Yuan... solve the disaster?"
He didn't dare to ask this question for a long time, because he was afraid of getting an answer that shouldn't be given. However, Sikong Yuan's behavior of constantly teasing him doesn't seem like the threat has yet to be resolved.
It's just that he couldn't figure out why Sikong Yuan, who had lost the source of disaster, could win in the face of disaster
"It's no big deal, just eat it." Sikong Yuan said with a deep expression on his face.
"?" Ning Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, and when he realized that the other party was pretending to be deep, he couldn't help pinching the other party's waist, and said in a hateful voice: "Stop pretending, talk like a human being!"
"Cough, it's actually... when my consciousness was about to dissipate, I also became a catastrophe, and I swallowed it because of the higher level of energy." Sikong Yuan coughed lightly, and concluded concisely.
"Turned into a disaster?" Ning Xingzhou was startled, and immediately got out of Sikong Yuan's arms, circled around Sikong Yuan, patted him non-stop, and raised his hand to pinch him cheeks, eyes full of confusion, "But how do you look... they are all human beings."
"It's all thanks to you." Sikong Yuan was so cute by his nervous little expression, he wrapped his long arms around him, and once again pulled Ning Xingzhou into his arms, lowered his head slightly, and rested his chin on Ning Xingzhou's shoulder, Lou Ci's voice was vaguely full of fear, "Fortunately, with you, I didn't lose myself."
He couldn't imagine the consequences of being completely lost in that darkness. He will completely degenerate and become the next disaster, which is more terrifying than the black flame disaster.
Fortunately, he survived, and even, it was a blessing in disguise.
"Strictly speaking, I should... only be considered half a human being. However, unlike before, my abilities are now controllable."
Sikong Yuan let go of Ning Xingzhou, picked a direction at random, raised his hand slightly, and shook it lightly.
The surrounding space suddenly distorted, forming a deep vortex, which continued to expand and then slowly disappeared. With the disappearance of the vortex, the space was suddenly emptied, and the utensils that were originally placed around seemed to have never existed.
Without any armor, the means used out of thin air, indeed, cannot be done by manpower.
Although it was only for a short moment, Ning Xingzhou could feel the terrifying aura from the vortex, which was only stronger than when he was once occupied by the consciousness of disaster.
Ning Xingzhou let out a long breath, and his hanging heart finally settled down. It seemed that he finally didn't have to worry anymore, Sikong Yuan would leave him at any time.
"How is it? Isn't it not bad?" Sikong Yuan raised his tone slightly, and looked at Ning Xingzhou with a worried face, as if he was waiting for something.
With SSS-level spiritual power, he is infinitely close to the disaster-level spiritual body. For him, the so-called armor fusion method is too low for him to use.
"Not bad!" Ning Xingzhou gave the other party a hard look, pointed to the empty ground, and angrily said, "You know how hard it is to get those supplies now!"
"Uh..." Sikong Yuan was confused, but reacted quickly to Shangning Xingzhou's slightly annoyed face, "I was wrong."
Anyway, admit your mistake first.
"What..." Ning Xingzhou couldn't laugh or cry for a while, as the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face with your hand, seeing Sikong Yuan smiling all over his face, with a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, he couldn't get angry at all.
What's more, Sikong Yuan had just woken up, so he didn't know their situation at all.
Ning Xingzhou looked at the empty and temporary base, and sighed, "Forget it, you didn't mean it, anyway, it won't last long here anyway."
As he said that, he took the initiative to hold Sikong Yuan's hand, as if he had thought of some good idea, he looked at Sikong Yuan with a twinkle in his eyes, "Let's go to Wuqu together."
No zone, located in the hinterland of ferocious beasts, but there are humans stationed there, most of the people who gather there are vicious and vicious, who are not controlled by rules or protected by human rights.
Trading is free, but there is no bottom line at all.
To live there, one must not only guard against fierce beasts that invade at any time, but also guard against teammates who stab at any time, and therefore, it is very dangerous.
However, these are not within the scope of Sikong Yuan's consideration.
As long as Ning Xingzhou wants to, he is willing to accompany him.
He is no longer the former Sikong Yuan who was restrained everywhere, now he is enough to protect Ning Xingzhou, no matter where he is.
"Anytime."
…
