Chapter 422 Safe House
The heavy rain fell like icicles, hitting his body and making him feel cold and painful. There was also red liquid mixed in it, which instantly soaked Xu Zhiyan's warm and fitting milky white sweater, making it stick to his body wetly and freezing him to the bone.
He couldn't help but shiver, and his feet suddenly felt a little unstable.
It turned out that not only Xu Zhiyan was affected, but even the corpses that made up the ground were beaten by the heavy rain and could not bear it.
Especially the blood-like substances mixed in the rain. When they fall on humans, they will only leave some red marks, but when they fall on a corpse, they can make a hole.
In an instant, faint wailing sounds were heard under the rain.
The corpses, caught between life and death, scrambled to turn over, trying to hide.
The earth was shaking and Xu Zhiyan had no time to take a closer look. He moved among the rolling corpses, trying to find a more comfortable place to stay.
The body parts were covered with mottled marks, and it was obvious that this was not the first time that heavy rain had fallen here.
After moving for an unknown amount of time, Xu Zhiyan finally waited for the rain to stop.
Wearing heavy clothes that were soaked with moisture, he pinched the corners of his clothes, looked down at his wet hands, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems like there's a buff that makes us look miserable every time we meet..."
But at least the rain has stopped, so it would be better to find Bai Jin as soon as possible.
The surroundings are empty and boundless.
After all, it is in someone else's dream, so it is a bit troublesome to find someone.
Xu Zhiyan thought for a moment, twisting his clothes, and scanning the ground from time to time. Soon, he found a head with trembling lips.
Under coercion and inducement, Xu Zhiyan successfully obtained the coordinates of the young man Bai Jin.
"You, you go over there..."
The head stuck out a blue tongue and tried to point in a direction.
Sure enough, the local creatures know the situation better.
Following the clues, Xu Zhiyan walked for dozens of minutes and found a big pit.
There was a dangerous smell in the air. There was no corpse at the bottom of the pit. The thin young man, whose body was covered with spells, changed his short knife and sat in the middle of the open space, wondering what he was thinking.
Different from the last time we met.
As soon as Xu Zhiyan showed his head, a burning gaze fell on him.
In a blink of an eye, the young man Bai Jin appeared before his eyes.
Different from what Xu Zhiyan expected, the other party did not say anything. He remained calm and silent, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. It was also as if he was using silence to question why he hadn't come for three days.
"What a coincidence, we meet again."
Not only did Xu Zhiyan not explain, he also greeted him as if nothing had happened.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
No wonder ghosts and gods are usually so silent, and they keep everything to themselves without revealing anything to others. It turns out that this is innate, and they have been like this since childhood...
This opening was somewhat unexpected for Bai Jin.
He stared at the young man in front of him, pursed his lips, hesitated for a while, and spoke in a low voice.
"fraud."
For three whole days, he still couldn't wait for the person who said he loved him.
It seemed as if the soft touch of the young man's lips still lingered on his forehead. It was something he had never experienced since he was born. It was the first time he felt his heart beating.
Is this what humans call, 'alive'?
Bai Jin felt like he came alive in those brief few minutes when he met Xu Zhiyan.
The feeling of being too unfamiliar made him fearful yet greedy. Regardless of day or night, the other person's every move occupied all his thoughts.
For three days, he was waiting for another meeting.
Bai Jin killed round after round of dirty monsters, but he couldn't wait for the person who said he loved him to appear.
The familiar confusion took over his consciousness again.
He felt that he should wake up, but deep down he was secretly looking forward to the other party's appearance. He wanted to ask Xu Zhiyan why he lied to him, and he wanted to ask if Xu Zhiyan would come again.
Bai Jin slept for three whole days while swaying.
He didn't dare wake up.
He was afraid that Xu Zhiyan wouldn't be able to find him when he came.
But when Xu Zhiyan really appeared in front of him, Bai Jin found that he seemed unable to ask any more questions.
Looking at the smiling expression on the young man's face, he felt a little panicked.
As if he was worried that Xu Zhiyan would leave, the young man Bai Jin started to make excuses for Xu Zhiyan without waiting for an explanation: "Are you angry? That day, I... I suddenly woke up."
Bai Jin seemed more alive when he spoke than before.
If before this, he looked like a sharp knife without emotions, then now the boy with emotional fluctuations looks more like a human being.
Xu Zhiyan, who was about to talk nonsense, was stunned.
Hiss, what kind of life is this, that when something goes wrong the first thing one does is to look for the fault in oneself.
"Sorry, the time I enter the dream is random, I can't be sure when it will come." As he said this, he couldn't help but clench his lowered hands together and rub them a few times.
It's too cold.
The price of gaining substance in a dream is to bear the corresponding feelings.
Seeing that the young man still said nothing, Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips. He wanted to ask Bai Jin if he could control the temperature in the dream to make it warmer. It would be even better if he could dry the clothes in an instant.
But when he met those golden eyes filled with complex emotions, Xu Zhiyan swallowed the question, let go of his hand and asked in a low voice.
"I'm so cold, can you hug me?"
As if to prove his words, he lifted the corner of his clothes that was still dripping with water. The sweater that had not been wrung out thoroughly looked no different from ice armor.
The young man, who already had a pretty face, spoke with a bit of grievance and caution.
The rain was so heavy that even his eyelashes were wet, making him look even more pitiful when he blinked. His wet black hair lay flat against his face with water droplets hanging on the ends. Due to hypothermia, his originally rosy lips had faded a lot and turned an unhealthy light pink, too close to his skin tone.
As expected, looking at the expression on the young man Bai Jin's face, the computer crashed again.
Without waiting for Slice to answer, Xu Zhiyan reached out and hugged him. He held him very close, with his chin on the boy's shoulder, and kept explaining: "If you don't believe me, try it. It's really cold... But you don't seem to have much temperature either--"
The gentle words came to an abrupt end.
Before Xu Zhiyan could fully express his dissatisfaction with the temperature, he felt Bai Jin's body temperature rising in his arms.
It really turned from an ice cube into a stove in an instant.
Of course, if it was only Bai Jin's body temperature that changed, Xu Zhiyan might not say much, but the moment the warmth was transmitted, he saw the huge mountain of corpses around him begin to melt...
The corpses rolling and tumbling were like melting glaciers.
It’s a pity that after these things melted, they did not turn into transparent liquid, but instead turned into blood and melted substances containing organ tissues.
It's a little weird and a little gross.
Xu Zhiyan quickly closed his eyes and buried his head in the shoulder of the young man Bai Jin, thinking that out of sight, out of mind.
Fortunately, the entire ablation process did not last long.
Ten minutes later, Xu Zhiyan felt his feet touching the ground, and he opened his eyes and loosened his grip slightly.
The cold and hard ground was revealed, with regularly arranged tiles stretching as far as the eye could see. The gaps were still filled with blood that had not completely faded away. Combined with the blood-red moon above, there was an eerie sense of order.
The lost temperature returned, and Xu Zhiyan's cheeks felt a little hot.
He did not let go of his hand, but instead leaned over and rubbed the side of his cheek against the other person. The next second, Xu Zhiyan felt the young man Bai Jin pull away from his arms, and his reaction was very innocent.
After staggering a few steps, he looked at Bai Jin, who still had a cold expression on his face, and couldn't help feeling a little curious.
It's so strange. I clearly want him to come closer, so why do I leave so quickly when he gets close?
Fortunately, even the ghosts of the past were not Riddler. The boy hesitated for a moment, turned his face away again, and said in a low voice as if he had made up his mind: "Don't come again."
"Why?" Xu Zhiyan's eyes widened: "Don't you like me?"
After years of experience dealing with ghosts and gods, he knew that being straightforward was the most effective way of communication.
There was a hint of confusion in the young man Bai Jin's eyes.
He seemed to be unsure whether he should answer the question.
But he repeated his words firmly.
"Don't come to me again. I have no future."
Perhaps it was because Xu Zhiyan's scorching gaze was too irresistible, the young man closed his eyes and whispered the hidden secret.
"I am not human."
"I am different from you. I will have no future."
From beginning to end, it did not believe what Xu Zhiyan had said before.
Because there is no future, no one will come back from the future to love it.
"Go away and don't come here again." Since it doesn't belong to me, it would be better to let it go as soon as possible. "Humans shouldn't be here. I'm not the one you're looking for. I will disappear in the near future."
Xu Zhiyan was stunned.
The first time he encountered a slice that pushed him out... Gosh, it was quite interesting.
I just didn’t expect that the ghosts and gods in the past were so normal, completely different from other perverted slices, very decisive, and even a little cute.
Listening to Bai Jin's serious words, Xu Zhiyan licked his lips.
"What if I insist on coming? What if you are the person I'm looking for? Even if I insist on coming, can you stop me?" Considering that he was in his memory, he did not take the boy's words seriously and retorted with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Bai Jin suddenly raised his head and looked straight at him.
Its expression was very focused, and the emotions surging in its golden pupils were even stronger, much more intense than before, and even the color had become much darker.
Bai Jin raised his hand and gently stroked the young man's face.
Beneath the delicate and fair skin is a warmth unique to human beings, which makes people unable to help but be fascinated, unable to put it down, and unwilling to let it go.
"I thought about letting you go."
The pace of its speech suddenly became slow, as if it was still giving the other party a chance to refuse.
"If you must come and provoke me, then you will only belong to me for the rest of your life."
It no longer cares whether the other person really came back from the future but found the wrong person; or whether those words were just said casually to tease it.
Bai Jin didn't care.
This is the first human to break into its world.
Its blood, its bones, and every one of its cells are clamoring to keep the other party.
"This is what you want to keep."
If it stays, this human will be its.
As these words were spoken, the red moon hanging high in the sky suddenly exploded.
Xu Zhiyan felt the young man Bai Jin's hot palm falling on his neck, and even his tone was a little crazy.
He didn't expect that his casual remark had touched a nerve in Bai Jin. It was as if he wanted to lock his dream world and not let anyone in or out.
...Oh no, why is this kid so weak in response to praise?
