Dark Blood Age

^

In the pitch-black wilderness, without a hint of light or sound, it was a quiet place, suddenly breaking into a rush of running footsteps, cluttered, mixed with heavy breaths.

Listening to the voice should be a girl, delicate and soft, but with heavy footsteps, as if filled with lead, difficult to lift and powerless.

Girls seem to have the skill to identify where the ditch is, where the dead tree is and where the house is in the dark, so even when running, they often try to jump or turn away an abandoned wall.

The man behind her was still dripping blood, much less than before, but still motionless as if he were lying on his back and cold as if he had died.

The pitch-black wilderness calmed down a moment later, and the girl's heavy footsteps gradually vanished into the darkness further afield.

……

Not knowing how far it had gone, the darkness intermittently transmitted two voices that had struggled almost to the best of their ability and were extremely weak.

“Old Ghost, let her, let me down, I, I can't, this, escape like this! ”

“It's no use going back. That's more than four yuan. ”

“Little, sea, they,, I can't, alone, run away, put me down. ”

“You've already done this, and you can't go back down and kill yourself. ”

“I, no, can,, old ghost, I can't, Jean, let Xiaohai, them, for me, fight for my death, I, but I, throw away, abandon them, flee, flee... I, I Chu, Chu Yunsheng, never, ever, do, this, … just, is death, me, I also want, with them, die, with! ”

“If you don't go back, they may still be able to live. If you go back, they will never survive. ”

“You, you don't understand, that, ash, shadow man, won't stay, stay alive, stay behind, him, he will, will, will, will cut the weeds and eradicate them. ”

“Then you can't go back. If you go back, their sacrifice will be worthless! ”

“Old, old ghost, even if, me, I escape, again, where can I escape? 4. Yuan Tian, Talent, Masterful, I, I can't win, sooner or later, one, die, old ghost, I've run away enough, I've run away enough for the rest of my life, pay back, why not, with Xiaohai, with them, fight together, fight to death! ”

“Have you forgotten what Yu Xiaohai said to us? He said why would he trust a bunch of strangers instead of you, Master and Brother? He said he believed you could give them a future. If you really want to live with them, kill those bastards, avenge them, give them a future. ”

“No, no, the future, I have, have, don't know, the future, where? I have, lost, to let me, I live, to survive, to die, to die, to die... old ghost, you, you treat me as, pity, pity me, I don't want, don't want to lose, lose, them... this, this world, too cruel, too cold, I, struggle, I desperately, once, twice, to find reason, to live, but still, no, no way to live, old ghost, I want, want to die, really want to die, and, with those willing to die with me, to die, with me, I know, I know enough...”

“I will not let you die. To live, you must live! ”

……

“Old Ghost, you put me down, put me down. ”

……

“Ghost, you, you, king, son of a bitch, put me down, put me down! ”

……

The last voice almost shook and cried and begged: “Old, old ghost, that man, too, too strong, in my heart, very clear, I can't, can't win it,,, you, poor, poor, me,... I don't want, will, future, one person, die alone, one person, I'm so scared, scared of one person, lonely, no one to talk to, you know? Sometimes, I'm talking to myself, pretending to be, another person, smiling at myself, you know, that feeling of loneliness, going crazy? Old Ghost, let me down, this is, me, only, not alone, dead, chance, me, afraid, never, this, opportunity...”

Cold tears fell on the girl's tender neck along his cheek. In the cold wind, she was shaken and inadvertently tripped on the heel of her feet. The two men carried a green cigarette and implanted it into a sticky stinking water “ditch”.

Exhausted, severely wounded, fleeing long distances, violently impacting the ground… causing them to faint almost simultaneously, the sad voice finally said:

“I, don't... like a dead dog, like...”

……

……

After a long time, Chu Yunsheng dropped a tear in the corner of his eyes and opened his eyes quietly. Thus, he looked at the sky quietly, and after a long time, he remained motionless.

After a long time, he wanted to move, so he picked up the sticky ground with the remaining arm, climbed outside the “ditch", stood on the sword, supported himself to sit on the knee, then inserted the sword on the side of the broken arm, continued to sit quietly, motionless.

Winter winds blow across the ground, whirring, scraping his cheek like a knife, clotting the blood on it and drying the tears in the corners of his eyes.

He remains motionless.

A long time later, a green smoke came out behind him, knowing the sound of Soso.

“Are you awake? ”

Chu Yunsheng did not turn around and still looked quietly at the place where the sword intersects with the sky.

“The dwarf goes to wake Af up and carries you out of here as soon as possible. ”

The old ghost did not know what to say, so he said.

“Let her sleep a little longer.” Chu Yunsheng still did not turn back, still quietly looking at the place where the sword sky handed over.

“Leader...” Old Phantom realized Chu Yunsheng was awake, not knowing what to say: “You, pity, pity. By the way, Yu... they should all be dead by now...”

Chu Yunsheng did not say that he was silent for a long time, only heard the whining winter cold wind blow through the sharp sword body, emitting the sword sound of Qingyue.

The heavens and the earth were so quiet, with a faint sorrow.

“Old Ghost -” Chu Yun rose in the wind and suddenly said, “Thank you, you saved my life. ”

“Leader, dwarf...” The old ghost still doesn't know what to say, it can feel Chu Yunsheng surrounded by quiet as well as a faint slaughter, like the sound of a sword in Qingyue.

“Every time I shed a tear, I would die in the world.” Chu Yunsheng quietly said: “If one day I shed my last tear for the world, I think I would become a heartless man, like this cold sword. ”

“Leader?” The old ghost raised his head and looked complicated.

“So -” Chu Yunsheng interrupted it and looked quietly at the sharp sword that divided the earth from the sky: “While I had not yet become a completely heartless man, while I could still speak, would you like to say my own thing... will you listen? ”

“Little man...”

……

……

Chu Yunsheng quietly said, no grief, no excitement, like talking about a man who had nothing to do with him, calmly said, how to get him to ancient books, how to practice swords, how to kill red beetles, how... until he saw the sixth order of bones, one by one, finally, quietly said:

“Xiaohai said to me a few days ago, let me not keep everything in my heart, sooner or later it will go crazy, he wants to help me, so I want to hear, but I didn't say it, I didn't say it when he was alive, when he lived again, give me another chance to say it, I still haven't said it, but now, there's no chance.

I don't blame heaven, it's just, even preferred, it gives me two chances, I didn't cherish it, so...

Ghost, I want to say today that I want to cherish it because no one will see you again in the next life, no matter how sorry you are. ”

Chu Yunsheng said calmly, the old ghost had a very distressing feeling, but didn't know what to say.

They were so silent, looking at the sword, looking at the sky, waiting until the blue-haired girl woke up.

……

“Where are we going?” Chu Yunsheng knew that the old ghost was going to die with a blue-haired girl. It must have been planned.

“To Egypt.” Old Ghost said calmly: "Find the Great Pyramid and get out of here. ”

“To where?” Chu Yunsheng still said quietly.

“Her planet.” The old ghost pointed to the blue-haired girl and said: "I went through all the historical and archaeological archives, and according to Afu's description and drawings, the Great Pyramid of Egypt is the only available and possibly well-preserved gateway to the landing. ”

I don't know why, after Chu Yunsheng said those words, the old ghost stopped calling himself a dwarf, and Chu Yunsheng didn't ask.

“Fine, you two go there safest.” Chu Yun looked up at the body of the sword, listening to the sound of the Qingyue sword, said calmly.

“What about you?” The old ghost heard the sound of Chu Yunsheng outside the strings.

“I'll stay here.” Chu Yunsheng's hair fluttered in the cold wind, quietly said: “The world, whether a node or a pseudo tablet, is because of me, I will give them a future. ”

“Are you going that way?” For a moment of old silence, he sighed, referring to the path described in the sixth preamble of the skeleton.

“I didn't choose the path, someone else did. I just wanted to change the path.” Chu Yunsheng greeted the cold wind.

“The grey shadow man, strong, has more power than the source door of the pivot.” Old Phantom thought about it and said seriously.

“So I'll go with you to Egypt, and then I'll find a way to kill it.” Chu Yun looked up at the place where the sword intersects the sky and said.

“Now that you've made your decision, I won't persuade you anymore. In fact, I always have a bad idea.” The old ghost scoffed at himself, "But there's one thing I haven't had time to tell you. ”

“Then say it now.” Chu Yun shrugged.

“Whatever you do, I want you to live, because when I go through history and archaeology, I find a secret, which needs to be verified, but ——” the old Phantom paused and continued:

“Humanity is a very tragic race, and you may actually be enslaved, including your ancestors, for generations, to crash a spaceship on the planet of Aff, which, according to Aff's description, of course she doesn't know, but I do understand that it is a slave ship, and it is very likely that you humans are in it, and in fact another purpose of this trip to Egypt is to find evidence.

So you really want to give them a future, not a false world here, but a future where those who live and those who are about to be born - Xiaohai's descendants and your descendants are no longer enslaved... "

Second, something happened at night, sadly stayed up all night again.
