Chapter 77 Chapter 77 "What's strange?" During the day...

"What's strange?" Bai Tianming asked Sada.

"The priest who just opened the formation and left." Sada replied with a blink of his eyes.

"What's so strange about it?" Bai Tianming asked humbly.

"Although he's already left," Sada frowned, taking two steps with Bai Tianming as the center. Like a vigilant wolf with its tail cocked, he spoke slowly, "it seems like some of him has left behind here. I can sense his energy, but I can't pinpoint his exact location."

He hesitated, as if what he was about to say was a fairy tale: "He seems to be scattered everywhere here, but not completely, because I feel like I can step on him with every step, but it's not the whole him."

It was clearly him who spoke, and it was also him who showed a surprised expression after he finished speaking. This makes people feel that it was not him who spoke just now.

Bai Tianming was a bit amused and said soothingly, "Perhaps he just channeled his energy into the shadows. Even though he's gone, the energy hasn't completely dissipated, so there's the illusion that the aura is still there."

Sada was skeptical, like a wolf hesitantly wagging its tail. It smelled the scent of chicken legs through the lunch box, but heard someone say the box contained cabbage. He asked thoughtfully, "Really?"

He wanted to believe Bai Tianming, even unconditionally. However, if Bai Tianming wanted to deceive him, he would undoubtedly be deceived in Bai Tianming's territory.

He didn't know what kind of mood he should be in, but since Bai Tianming had already said so, it should be like this, right?

So, he nodded and said, "I think I should go to bed early." Perhaps he was hallucinating because he was too tired. But he had never had such strange hallucinations before!

Maybe it wasn't an illusion at all. Never mind. Bai Tianming said it wasn't there, so it wasn't there. Couldn't Bai Tianming have known this in his own territory? He might have known it better than he did.

He should not ask any more questions, lest the more he asks, the more confused he becomes.

Bai Tianming nodded and said calmly, "Go to bed early."

Sardar opened the door and entered the room.

Bai Tianming immediately reinforced the protective shield for his room, so that even if the sky collapsed and the earth broke at night, he would definitely not hear any movement or feel anything wrong in the room.

Bai Tianming didn't believe it. Even so, Sada could wake up from his tiring rest. That was a bit too surprising. If it really came to that, he should just do it. At least it would save some trouble.

Nan Pu came over and asked, "Do we need to prepare dinner tonight?"

"No need," Bai Tianming waved his hand, "Everyone go back to their own work. I think I need a break now, so you should go and rest too.

Just put the food you made before in the refrigerator. Anyway, the food here won’t spoil even if it’s left out in the open air and exposed to the sun for a day and a night, so there’s no need to worry.”

Nan Pu nodded: "Okay, I understand."

He turned and left.

Bai Tianming returned to his room to rest.

He had originally planned to ignore other things for the time being, but just as he was walking towards the bed, he suddenly felt someone standing behind him, just like a ghost suddenly appearing in a horror movie. He felt a chill on his back and stopped.

The man's breath was very familiar. Even without looking back, he could almost determine within a second that this person was Abel. But before Abel left, he said that he would not come back before dark.

Unless something unexpected happens, and now, this is probably the accident.

Bai Tianming slowly turned around and took a closer look. He found that it was really Abel. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He felt like he had won a guessing game and smiled.

Abel was wearing a black suit and looked no different from before, but if you looked closely, you could see that his clothes were much smoother than before and didn't look like he had been in battle at all.

He and the previous Abel are two Abels, but they also belong to the same Abel. In other words, they were one in the beginning and later separated.

Therefore, in terms of aura, they are completely of the same origin. In the perception of others, there is only one. Only when you actually see it can you confirm that there are two.

"Are you looking for me?" Bai Tianming asked with a smile.

Unless you're looking for the wrong room, you probably won't be looking for someone else.

"Yes." Abel nodded, staring at him intently, like a snake seeing its prey, slowly moving on the tree trunk. There was no expression on his face, and he answered crisply.

"What's the matter?" Bai Tianming nodded and asked.

Abel suddenly fell silent. After a long moment, he slowly asked, "Can you hold me?"

Bai Tianming was a little surprised, as if he had seen a hibernating snake at home suddenly wrapping itself around him like a tree fork. He replied, "Sure."

Bai Tianming hugged Abel, and Abel hugged Bai Tianming. After a long silence, he slowly said, "If I tell you now that I am him, you probably won't believe it, right?"

"If you want me to believe it," Bai Tianming replied calmly, "I can believe it too." Although he was just pretending to believe it.

They all knew that the he was referring to the other Abel, the one who was not here now.

After hearing Bai Tianming's answer, Abel lowered his head and laughed slowly. His laughter sounded like the hissing sound of a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue when it hung from a branch.

He let go of Bai Tianming, stood in the shadows, stared at him with a pair of dark pupils and said, "I came here originally wanting to pretend to be him and have some fun with you."

"What to play?" Bai Tianming raised his eyebrows, as if he had triggered a keyword, and asked with some confusion.

"I want to play everything he has played, everything he hasn't played, everything he can play, everything he can't play. Unfortunately, time is limited, and there's a high probability that I won't be able to play anything. So I'll just play whatever I can." Abel spread his hands and answered expressionlessly.

But when Bai Tianming looked at him, he inexplicably felt that he looked like a small snake hanging on a finger-long branch, stretching its neck and hissing at people. He had a kind of cute and domineering feeling.

Bai Tianming silently looked away: "Do you still want to play now?"

Shouldn't I play it anymore?

He still wants to rest.

Moreover, with my identity already revealed, it would be difficult to have fun. Wanting to play whatever I wanted until I had my fill was probably just a dream.

"No more fun," Abel's voice was hoarse for a moment, but returned to normal the next moment. He said calmly, with a straight face, "Time is running out, there's nothing fun to do."

Bai Tianming nodded: "That's true." When you are anxious, nothing you do will seem fun, just like when you are running and suddenly turn into a rabbit with an eagle chasing you.

It's really hard to be happy when you're in a hurry.

"Before," Abel hesitated, then lowered his eyes and said in a voice that was even colder than before, but also slightly trembling, "I saw that your clothes seemed a little messy, so I sorted them out. I didn't mean to touch them. The shadow you saw on your clothes was me."

Out of politeness, he seemed to want to say sorry, but out of a strange insistence, as if saying sorry would make the relationship not so good, he didn't really want to say it, and his ears turned red unconsciously.

Bai Tianming was a little surprised that his skin was so thin. A large area turned red in just the blink of an eye. He couldn't help but feel curious. He walked over to take a closer look. When he found out it was real, he was even more surprised. On a whim, he reached out his hand.

Abel's whole body froze and he could hardly move. It was not because Bai Tianming suppressed him, but because he felt that Bai Tianming was too close to him and his breath was blowing in his face. He held his breath and his whole face quickly turned red, although his face was not red originally.

Bai Tianming reached out and pinched his red earlobe with his index finger and thumb, as if pinching a love fruit hanging from a branch. Feeling the scorching heat coming from under that thin layer of skin, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I never thought you could become famous so quickly before."

Abel was speechless for a moment, his neck almost turned red, and he looked like he was about to suffocate. Bai Tianming withdrew his hand, took two steps back, kept a distance, and smiled at him.

He took a step back, increasing the distance again, moving closer to the window and door, and even closer to the wall and table. Only then did he dare to breathe, taking big gulps of air, his chest heaving violently. The redness on his face gradually faded, and his expression gradually returned to normal.

But Bai Tianming was drawn to his rapid breathing, his attention focused on his heaving chest. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, reaching out to his chest, which was wrapped in a loose black coat, and asked, "Your heartbeat is so fast?"

In fact, Bai Tianming did not touch him, because this time Abel's reaction was suddenly quick. He flashed away from Bai Tianming, almost leaving an afterimage. He followed the table and the wall and hid in the corner, close to the door. His whole body was almost stuck to it, like a huge black spider.

Bai Tianming slowly withdrew his hand and tucked it in front of him. He watched as his face flushed once more. His gaze traveled over his earlobes, which were as thin as white jade, his cheeks as fuzzy as peaches, and his neck, which was as red as pigeon blood. He then stopped at his chest, which was still rising and falling, but with a much smaller amplitude than before, as if it was being deliberately restrained. He circled around and finally settled his gaze into his eyes. He said with a half-smile, "I'm starting to think that I don't need to rest so much now."

It's true that being bored is exhausting, but when things start to get interesting, it's time to rest early. Resting now would be like giving up the fun. That would be a shame.

He can't stand boredom.

Abel's face had been slightly better, but after hearing what he said, it suddenly turned red again as if it was on fire. He couldn't look him in the eye, so he had no choice but to turn to the side and look at the corner of the wall beside him. He was a little ashamed and angry, and whispered, "I can't be your toy!"
