When Luo Jiujiang woke up, he was not sure where he was for a moment.
This was not only because there was nothing but endless black before his eyes, but also because even this black was constantly rotating.
It was not until two or three blinks of an eye had passed that Luo Jiujiang realized that it was not actually the world that was spinning, but he himself was the one who was rolling.
Luo Jiujiang: “…”
Luo Jiujiang has reacted. He is now trapped in some kind of black, translucent confinement. This spherical object blocks his communication with the black shadows outside in both directions. The shadows cannot break through this barrier and touch him. He stretched out his hand, but all he could feel was a cold hand.
Perhaps it was for this reason that the few dark shadows guarding him began to roll Luo Jiujiang, who was stuffed in the black confinement, back and forth out of boredom.
Luo Jiujiang sometimes turned up and down in this ball, sometimes rolled left and right, and sometimes literally turned upside down. On average, he could roll three or four times in the blink of an eye.
In the midst of his dizziness, Luo Jiujiang struggled to distinguish the three ghostly figures circling him. After repeated attempts to confirm, he had to admit, even if he was reluctant, that the tiny drops of black liquid dripping from the shadows' mouths were probably their saliva.
Luo Jiujiang: “…”
This reminded him of a toy that was very popular among children in the Seven Islands when he was a child.
You should know that there's a kind of fish in the azure sea that's completely transparent. Adults, no bigger than an adult's fingertip, even their bones are a translucent white. When adults catch this tiny fish, they usually seal it, along with a handful of seawater, in a crystal or gelatin shell. The shell is so airtight, it's enough to keep their children fresh for two or three days.
And when they are tired of playing, there are often children who innocently hold their crystal balls and spit out their saliva, saying childish words like "I really want to stew the fish right now".
Luo Jiujiang now feels like he is that fish.
He began to reflect on why he had never put himself in the fish's shoes before.
However, considering the fragility of the thin and crispy shell, children are usually more careful when playing. So from this point of view, Luo Jiujiang is even worse off than the fish.
If he could be given a chance to return to his childhood, Luo Jiujiang promised that he would never let such toys appear in front of him again - he didn't even plan to play with pinball, and if he saw Qian Ling kicking Qi Liuliu's body back and forth like a cuju again, he would definitely teach Qian Ling a lesson.
...Thousand Ridges.
The name appeared so naturally and unexpectedly in Luo Jiujiang's mind. His heart ached slightly, and he closed his eyes, no longer looking at the vast expanse of black that swirled with his movements. He was almost cautiously thinking about the question he had not even dared to touch before.
Qianling...How is Qianling now?
He would be very worried, Luo Jiujiang disappeared so suddenly in front of him, and he was powerless to do anything; he would be very angry, when he stood up for Luo Jiujiang and blocked the thunder of conscience for him, he was tightly covered by the big net formed by the essence of the five elements, unable to move and at a loss; he would blame himself... Qian Ling would definitely get stuck in a dead end, thinking that this incident was all caused by him.
Even though Luo Jiujiang had tried his best to comfort him with witty remarks before he disappeared, just like Qianling's appearance when he first transformed into a dragon, how could a simple sentence like "it doesn't hurt" and "don't worry" possibly deceive the person who loves you most in this world?
Thinking of this, Luo Jiujiang's curled fists clenched unconsciously. He felt heartbroken. Thinking of how he felt when he faced the Thunder of Questioning the Heart, he couldn't help but condemn his own meanness.
To be honest, the fleeting feeling he had at that moment was almost one of relief.
He was glad that he could take the blame for Qianling and save him from this disaster. He was also glad that this time he didn't have to watch helplessly and didn't have to be left behind like last time.
——But as the person who was left behind, how could he not know Qianling’s heavy and sad mood now?
And even when he was left with nothing and thrown into death, he still held on to hope for everything he loved. He could still make new friends, meet Feng Xue, Xiao Ren, and Xie Chuncan, but Qianling...
But once Han Qianling loses Luo Jiujiang, the whole world will become desolate and he will have nothing.
Perhaps Luo Jiujiang's soul injury has not yet fully healed, or perhaps his current energy is not enough for Luo Jiujiang to carry out such high-intensity memories and psychological activities. In a daze, Luo Jiujiang lost consciousness again.
He wasn't sure whether he had fallen asleep or fainted.
But no matter whether he was asleep or unconscious, in the long dream that seemed to have no end, he only saw bloody nightmares.
Not even a good dream.
————————
When Luo Jiujiang woke up again, he almost thought that the sky was falling.
This time was different from the last time when he opened his eyes in a daze and saw the world spinning. This time, the world was bumpy and fluctuating. The whole world was like a pot shaking in the hands of a restaurant chef, and he, Luo Jiujiang, was the carrot being stir-fried in the big spoon.
What's going on? Luo Jiujiang thought with a smile: Have these ghosts finally learned that the real way to play Cuju is not to roll it around with your hands, but to kick it up and down with your feet?
As if unaware that Luo Jiujiang in the "crystal ball" had awakened, the shadow that was shaking Luo Jiujiang up and down was still talking to the other three shadows. This new shadow was larger in size and more pure in color than the other three shadows, and it gave Luo Jiujiang a more familiar feeling.
