Twenty-nine years old (fifteen)
The life-saving shield for Bian Senlin and Fatty is a small warm yellow ball.
This little ball has no substance and seems to be made up of a ball of energy light, but it is unexpectedly very human.
At this time, the small energy ball was above the light shield. Its round body grew short limbs and it pushed against the light shield with force, making a sound similar to "Irawaya".
“So… so cute…”
Bian Senlin looked at the little energy ball and felt a little suffocated by its cuteness. An endless sense of intimacy overflowed from his heart.
I vaguely felt that I had seen this little ball of light somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where for a moment.
The little energy ball seemed to hear the sounds from the nearby forest. He let out an "ah" and looked down at them.
Bian Senlin didn't know how he could tell the little round ball was making the "lowering head" gesture. Maybe it was because when the little ball looked down, its round body squeezed out a shape similar to a small belly?
Just as Bian Senlin was distracted, the little dumpling suddenly appeared in front of him, mumbling something.
"Pfft...what are you talking about? I don't quite understand." Bian Senlin said to Xiao Guangtuan with a soft smile.
He was so overwhelmed by the cuteness that he unconsciously reached out to touch the little ball of light, but was held down by the fat man next to him.
The fat man looked at him puzzledly: "Who are you talking to? There is no other sound here."
"Huh?" Bian Senlin was a little surprised when he heard the fat man's question.
"Don't you see it? It's this cute little ball in front of you with four short paws, and it's the one that's talking in these gibberish words."
The fat man frowned, first glanced at Bian Senlin's expression, then looked suspiciously at the ball of light in front of him, and said seriously: "I can see a warm yellow ball of light in front of me, but I don't see any claws or hear any sounds."
The fat man was experiencing something unscientific, so he didn't doubt that the sound he heard from Bian Senlin was an illusion. He just expressed his feelings objectively.
The ceiling just collapsed down like that, and he thought he would be seriously injured if not killed.
But unexpectedly, such a large cement stone was blocked by the sudden appearance of the light shield, and it broke into pieces and slid down.
Now and then, there are still pieces of gravel hitting the light shield, and through the light shield, you can vaguely see the scene outside.
Except for the small area where they were standing, the outside seemed to be shrouded in black fog, and the bottomless darkness was frightening to look at.
The small world within the light shield seemed to be unaffected, except for the ball of light.
The ball of light emitted a warm yellow light, which was soft and not dazzling. At first, the ball of light stood quietly above them, connected to the edge of the light shield. The energy of the light shield seemed to be separated from this ball of light.
After Bian Senlin made a sound, the ball of light appeared at the same level as their sight at an extremely fast speed, hovering quietly.
Then the fat man heard Bian Senlin seemed to be talking to the ball of light and was about to reach out to touch it.
Although it seems that this ball of light temporarily blocks the danger from the outside world for them, it is better not to touch it casually for the sake of caution.
When he learned that what he saw and heard in the forest seemed to be different from what he had seen, the fat man became even more alert, and his expression was full of inquiry as he looked at the ball of light.
The little ball of light seemed to be hurt by the fat man's wary eyes. The little ball that was about to approach them paused and silently moved towards the forest.
“Chichi…”
In Bian Senlin's eyes, the originally cheerful little dumpling seemed to have wilted, his voice was low and aggrieved, and his two short little hands were poking in front of his chubby body from time to time.
Bian Senlin felt like his heart was about to melt, and he felt a little distressed looking at Xiaoguangtuanzi's appearance.
"You scared it."
As he spoke, Bian Senlin walked around the fat man's blocking hand and touched the little ball of light. It was not hot or hurtful, but warm.
"Chi!" The light on the little dumpling's body brightened.
"Are you happy?" Bian Senlin asked with a smile when he saw the little dumpling's reaction.
“Chichi! Chichi~”
The little dumpling's voice was clear and rising, expressing his emotions.
Bian Senlin felt that he seemed to be able to understand what some little things meant. After a few simple exchanges, the little ball of light jumped into his arms and rolled its round little body.
Bian Senlin was so amused that he laughed out loud and for a moment he almost forgot that he had just encountered a fatal danger not long ago.
Xiaoguang Tuanzi rubbed himself in Bian Senlin's arms for a while, and seemed to feel that he had a backer. He turned around and made an indignant "ji" sound at the fat man.
"Pfft... Fatty, it's making faces at you!" Bian Senlin was laughing as he watched.
The fat man was stunned. He could neither hear nor understand. From his perspective, the forest seemed to be holding a ball of light and monologue.
Forget it, as long as it’s not dangerous.
The fat man decided to ignore the silly and happy Bian Senlin and limped to the edge of the light shield to check the outside situation and see if there was any way to escape.
When the fat man saw this, he frowned.
There was no trace of the familiar rental house outside the light shield, and the scattered debris had long since shattered without a trace.
But in this seemingly silent darkness, something seemed to be hitting the light shield, again and again.
The frequency was not low and the force was not small. Every time the light shield was about to crack, it was quickly replenished with energy to prevent it from breaking.
The fat man looked at the ball of light thoughtfully. The little ball seemed to feel something and shrank back into Bian Senlin's arms.
The fat man didn't know if he was dazzled. He seemed to see the little ball of light burying its face in Bian Senlin's arms and rubbing it, but in the blink of an eye it returned to normal, leaving only Bian Senlin there holding a ball of light and talking to himself.
The fat man rubbed his eyes, but there was still no change, so he had to give up exploring.
His foot injury couldn't support him standing for long, so he sat down.
At this moment, the fat man seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye and suddenly turned his head to look outside.
I saw a vortex appear out of nowhere in the darkness outside, and the vortex was getting bigger and bigger.
No, they are not getting bigger, they are approaching this vortex rapidly!
The fat man's intuition told him that the vortex was very dangerous. He could see that anything that approached the vortex would be shattered in an instant, and this light shield might not be able to withstand it!
It happened so quickly that before the fat man could issue a warning, the whirlpool was already approaching!
The little ball of light has reacted. Its small body is shining brightly, and the energy is transmitted layer by layer to the light shield that protects them.
Even so, Bian Senlin and the fat man felt dizzy.
The violent jolt bounced them up and down, but fortunately a soft ball of light caught them and prevented them from suffering greater damage.
The piece of ground where they originally stood had long since disappeared, and the light shield had shrunk into a small ball, barely enough to protect them.
It was unknown how long it had been, but when Bian Senlin woke up from his dizziness, they were already far away from the terrible vortex.
The fat man next to him also struggled to get up. His condition was even worse than Bian Senlin's, and his stomach was still churning.
Bian Senlin looked around and found that the little dumpling was lying quietly in the corner without moving.
His heart tightened, and Bian Senlin walked to the little dumpling and gently picked it up.
The originally warm yellow body of the little light ball has become almost transparent, like glass that is about to break, which makes Bian Senlin feel panic.
He didn't know why, but he felt a genuine liking for this little ball from the first moment he saw her, and every soft and sweet voice echoed in his heart.
The little ball that was jumping and chattering with him just now now lay dejectedly in the palm of his hand, without any reaction.
Bian Senlin's heart trembled. He was a little scared, afraid that this little life would disappear from his sight.
The fat man could not directly feel the condition of the little ball like Bian Senlin, but he also noticed that the condition of this little ball of light was not good. The originally bright light dimmed, and the size of the light ball had shrunk several times compared to before.
The fat man looked up and observed the light shield that protected them. Although the threat of the whirlpool was temporarily gone, there were still unknown objects hitting the light shield from time to time.
After each hit, the light shield can still recover to its original state, but the speed is obviously much slower.
The fat man also noticed that with each round of intensive attacks the light shield endured, the light on the small light ball became dimmer.
This discovery made the fat man frown in worry.
"There is...a reaction." Bian Senlin's trembling voice in surprise drew the fat man's attention back.
Bian Senlin was so happy that he burst into tears. He whispered something to the little ball of light, as if he was afraid that a louder voice would shock the weak little creature:
"Little Dumpling, you have a solution, right? Tell me how I can help you?"
"Ji" the little dumpling's voice sounded very weak and powerless in the forest.
“Chichi…Chichi…”
The little dumpling was trying hard to say something, but all that could be heard in Bian Senlin's ears was a weak chirping sound.
Bian Senlin tried hard to understand what the little dumpling wanted to express. Perhaps because his belief was too firm, Bian Senlin actually understood the meaning expressed in the little dumpling's intermittent chirping.
"I'm...I'm sorry, wow...I shouldn't have brought you here..."
Bian Senlin was stunned for a moment. He finally remembered why he felt strangely familiar with the little dumpling.
Is the little ball the energy ball that knocked him into the fat man’s house on his birthday?
"sorry..."
The little dumpling repeated this sentence weakly, trying hard to pull him away, as if wanting to get a last taste of him.
Bian Senlin pulled the little girl closer to him and said incoherently, "No, no, don't be sorry. I don't blame you. Don't get into trouble..."
"Ji...I'll take you...away..."
Before he finished speaking, the little ball of light dissipated in Bian Senlin's arms and turned into countless light spots. Some of them merged into the light shield, and some of them circled around Bian Senlin, silently fell on his body, and gradually melted away.
Bian Senlin's mind was blank. He stared blankly at the light spots around him. He stretched out his hand to grab something, but nothing was left.
Suddenly, his vision changed rapidly. Someone knocked him down and rolled him several times.
Fatty?
Bian Senlin looked at the fat man in confusion and blinked slowly.
The fat man slapped Bian Senlin hard on the head and said through gritted teeth: "Have you come to your senses?!"
The fat man had a bad feeling the moment the small ball of light dissipated. He saw that in that brief moment, the light shield protecting them dimmed for a moment.
The non-stop beating outside created a large hole in the light shield, and countless fierce gusts of wind came in from the hole and pierced through the light shield.
The fat man dragged Bian Senlin, who was stunned at this time, to avoid in a panic. Fortunately, the light shield was quickly repaired and saved them again.
However, the repaired light shield has become two sizes smaller and the brightness has dimmed a few degrees. Without energy support, it is unknown how long it can last.
"you……"
He felt a sudden blow to his head, and was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses. He was about to say something when he felt his hands were wet.
When I raised my hand, I saw a glaring red. It was blood!
Bian Senlin didn't feel any pain, so this blood... belongs to the fat man!
Bian Senlin looked at the fat man, and sure enough, the fat man's clothes on his back were soaked with blood.
No wonder the fat man sounded gritting his teeth when he spoke just now. It turned out that he was enduring the pain.
Before Bian Senlin could say anything, the light shield protecting them was hit hard again. A hole was opened in the light shield, which was then quickly repaired and shrunk again.
This time the repair was very quick, but a gust of wind still leaked out, but this time there was no space for Bian Senlin and Fatty to move and hide.
The fat man standing in front of the forest directly blocked the gust of wind.
Even if it is just a ray, even if it has been weakened by the light shield, anything that can break the light shield is not easy to deal with.
The fat man who was hit by the strong wind immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, which directly splashed Bian Senlin's eyes red.
“Fatty!!”
The fat man couldn't hold on and fell directly on Bian Senlin.
Bian Senlin wanted to support the fat man, but his numb and trembling hands could not exert any strength for a while, so he could only hold on to the fat man's clothes tightly.
"Why...why?"
Why save him? Why help him?
Since he and Fatty first met, Fatty has been helping him.
Because of the fat man, he didn't have to sleep on the streets when he came to a strange time and space; if the fat man hadn't helped him get his identity and accompanied him for the identification, he wouldn't have injured his foot.
If it weren't for saving him this time, I wouldn't have been injured, and if it weren't for him, I might not have encountered all this.
Hearing Bian Senlin's question, the fat man could actually laugh: "Hey... Hey, I didn't have time to react and hide..."
"But it's not bad... According to the Grandmother Paradox, if I die, you can still live for nine years. If you die... I probably won't survive."
For a moment, Bian Senlin didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He just held the fat man's hand tighter and tighter, his eyes red: "You have no evidence."
You have no evidence that we are in linear space-time, no evidence that you will die if I die, and no evidence that I can survive if you die.
The fat man understood what Bian Senlin had not yet finished, and with some effort he pulled the corners of his mouth: "When it comes to gambling, you naturally have to choose the one with the higher probability."
The fat man felt very tired and wanted to sleep, but he still had something to say to Bian Senlin:
"You know what? I actually envy you.
Although you are like a fool and don’t understand anything now, you have a lot of things that I once lost.
There is pure kindness, a passionate heart, a determination to never give up, and... a love for technology..."
The fat man's voice gradually faded until it could no longer be heard.
“No, no!”
Bian Senlin felt a chill running down his body, from his heart to his limbs, and finally he let out a desperate and piercing cry:
"ah!!!"
