Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Si Ruxu didn’t go in the end…
Si Ruxu didn't go in the end, she was left in the base.
A thin layer of frost had formed on the land at the border. Si Qi found a relatively clean place to sit down, still holding the space pocket that Si Ruxu had stuffed into his hand before leaving.
She used her mental power to probe inside and found milk, nutrient solution, a lot of crystal cores, three constant temperature suits, and food and drinks of all sizes.
This space was filled to the brim, and its capacity was obviously much larger than the one Si Ruxu had given her the first time.
This should be the largest space she can allocate.
Si Qi squeezed the space bag tightly and hung it around his waist.
She recalled Si Ruxu's last expression, which was clearly filled with annoyance. When she went with her to find Luo Fenghe, she didn't pay much attention to him. Until the very end, when she was about to leave, he gently pulled the corner of her clothes.
Her thick eyelashes drooped gently, casting a small shadow on her eyelids. She raised her eyes, revealing a hazy layer of water color inside.
She handed the space bag to her, and then whispered to her not to be stubborn, and if there was anything that she couldn't handle, she should remember to run away quickly, and to come find her.
A few snowflakes fell on Si Qi's head. It was icy cold but not extremely cold. She stretched out her hand, waited for a few snowflakes to condense in her palm, and then clenched it.
She just sat there, waiting for the snow to cover her and then be blown away by the cold wind, again and again.
Only when the ground beneath his feet froze and the strong wind could no longer blow the frozen leaves did Si Qi slowly blink his icy eyes.
She knew why Si Luoheng only allowed her to come.
Because she lost the ability to feel extremely cold temperatures.
The bracelet beeped several times before Si Qi answered the call woodenly. She didn't look at who it was, nor did she listen to the voice inside. She just spoke first.
"I'm fine. I can't feel the extreme cold anymore."
There was no response from the other end of the phone for a long time, then there was a soft intake of breath, and after a while, words with a smile came from the bracelet, with the emotion suppressed with great effort.
"Well, when you come back, I'll make some soup to warm you up." Si Qi tightened her coat with her stiff fingers. She seemed to be able to see Si Ruxu's tearful eyes.
She nodded. "Okay."
Si Qi sat alone in the extreme cold until the sky and the earth were dyed into a vast expanse of white, becoming one and unreal.
Si Luoheng asked her to come here, but didn't tell her what to do here, so she could only wait.
She was actually quite good at waiting, always had been.
Until she heard the sound of deep and shallow footsteps behind her. Si Qi turned around and a familiar fragrance quickly passed by, so faint that it seemed like an illusion.
There was another person standing in the snow. She was thin and her whole body was wrapped in a black cloak. Even her face was covered with a mask, like an impenetrable wall.
She only showed a pair of eyes, which were very dark, so dark that no emotion could be seen.
"You are here alone, where is Si Ruxu?"
It was a very hoarse voice, like the throat was damaged, or like the sound of wind squeezing out from a small gap.
Si Qi paused, suppressing the supernatural power in his body that had begun to stir up closeness and riot since she appeared.
"Are you looking for Si Ruxu?" Si Qi took a few steps back and shook off the snowflakes on her body. Some snowflakes fell on her black eyes, making them seem to contain a little light.
The woman didn't say anything, but just narrowed her eyes. The space shook slightly, and then the person who was originally some distance away from her instantly fell in front of her.
The air in front of her seemed to be sucked away. The next second, her neck was pinched by the woman. There was a faint redness in the woman's eyes, but the strength in her hands was not tight, and she was even relaxing a little bit.
In the end, it was as light as an ambiguous caress.
Si Qi suddenly broke free from her hand and retreated from the oxygen-deficient environment, with a hint of alertness in his dark eyes.
He was able to use space-related abilities almost without leaving any trace, and even quietly tear open a space and trap her inside when she was unaware.
No one else can do it except the almighty God.
"Hmph." The god seemed to have seen through her defenses and let out a very light hum from his nose, as if dissatisfied. For some reason, Si Qi felt a little aggrieved from her tone.
Grievance...? Is this an appropriate emotion for a god who created the apocalypse?
"Who asked you to come here alone, Si Luoheng?" she asked again, returning to her cold and indifferent look, but still different from the light that Si Qi remembered.
He did not have the same strong hostility as he did back then.
Si Qi still didn't speak, she looked carefully at the...
Gods and humans are indeed very similar, both in body shape and expression, except that they are colder and more rigid.
Snow fell on Si Qi again. She shook her head again, shaking off the snow on her hair. There was some doubt in her eyes. After a long time, she dragged her frozen throat and spoke in a very light voice.
"What do you want to do with Si Ruxu?"
"Do you think it's surprising that I came alone?"
Si Qi still stared at the god without blinking. It was strange, very strange. Why was the first thing He said when He came here wondering why Si Ruxu was not here? Why was she so sure that Si Ruxu would come? And after knowing that Si Ruxu did not come, the first person he thought of was Si Luoheng.
But his guess was not wrong, it was indeed Si Luoheng who asked her to come over.
"Did you meet Si Luoheng outside the circle?" This was all she could think of. She felt that the gods might not have had a God's perspective since they came to the world, otherwise they would not have thought that Si Ruxu would be here, and would not have been confused about the various things that followed.
His eyes were emotionless, yet they gave people an inexplicable feeling of gentleness, like a close friend who had been separated for a long time, with a hint of obscure pain mixed in.
"You shouldn't have come here alone. I ran into Si Luoheng outside the circle, and I had my own business with Si Ruxu."
He responded to each question one by one, and then cast his calm gaze over again. Si Qi frowned and felt a tingling sensation on his back.
She took a few more steps back, her feet numb and almost falling to the ground. She couldn't feel the cold, but her body was already a little stiff.
"How is Si Luoheng now?" Si Qi thought of Si Ruxu guarding the bracelet day and night, and couldn't help but ask Him.
Perhaps the god in front of him seemed too good-tempered.
"She's fine, for now... her life is not in danger, don't worry."
Si Qi nodded, and some of the ice crystals on her eyelashes fell into her eyes. She reached out to wipe them away, and her pale and transparent eye sockets were rubbed slightly red.
He took a few steps closer, and a powerful airflow rushed over, sweeping Si Qi away. It was very warm energy, and she felt her stiff limbs gradually come alive.
"Go back. You've already seen most of what Si Luoheng wanted you to see."
"I am the only one on the border. Human struggle is meaningless. You should take care of your life."
The voice became increasingly distant, and Si Qi's vision blurred. The scene reappeared in the familiar, warm interior.
She held her breath gently and saw Si Ruxu sleeping on the sofa with her bracelet in her hand.
She didn't know how many days had passed. She was only wearing that light-colored windbreaker. It was much warmer inside than outside, but it was still about 7 or 8 degrees Celsius below zero.
Si Ruxu looked even paler than when they separated, even her lips were bloodless, and she was shaky, as if she would collapse at any moment and never wake up again.
Si Qi pursed his lips and remembered that Si Ruxu himself was among the people most likely to be sacrificed in this apocalypse.
The corners of her eyes were tense, and a very unhappy emotion was rising from the bottom of her heart. Even so, she slowed down her steps, slowly picked up Si Ruxu, and walked into the inner room.
Si Ruxu trembled slightly but did not open her eyes. Si Qi put her on the bed and was about to leave when a pair of hands hooked around her neck.
The hands pulled her down, and the cold breath fell on her lips, entwining them ambiguously.
"Si Qi... I'm cold." Si Ruxu's voice was soft and tender, with a shiver from the cold and a fear that she would leave immediately.
Si Qi felt the chill coming from Si Ruxu, lowered his eyes, took off his clothes, and got into bed.
She covered herself and Si Ruxu with the quilt, and allowed Si Ruxu to snuggle into her arms.
The energy He gave her made her body very warm. Unlike before when she could not feel the extreme cold but her body would slowly freeze, Si Qi's body now seemed to have adapted to the extreme cold.
Always in a spring state.
Si Ruxu nestled in her arms, and it took a long time for her to regain some warmth, but she had no intention of letting go, and Si Qi did not urge her.
There was a dark spot under her eyes, but her breathing was deep and shallow, and she was unable to fall asleep.
The dim light fell on the bedside. Si Ruxu's gentle voice was soft in his arms: "Why did you come back so suddenly?"
"I was teleported back by God."
"Did you meet Him?" Si Ruxu nervously leaned into her arms again, until he felt her moist breath, and then his heart, which had been hanging in the air, fell down.
"Um."
"But I always feel that He is a little strange and familiar, and I can't put my finger on it. He doesn't seem to have that much hostility towards me, and He doesn't have a God's perspective."
Si Qi expressed her doubts one by one. Subconsciously, she always felt that Si Ruxu would know something.
But Si Ruxu raised her head, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Will some of the abilities of gods be restricted after they descend here?"
"Perhaps, but her spatial ability... I can sense it. It's many times stronger than mine, but there's something different about it. I don't know what it is."
The god's energy was softer than hers, not as aggressive, and there seemed to be some unfamiliar energy fluctuations that she had never seen before.
Si Qi lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the dark circles under Si Ruxu's eyes, which flickered in the dim light of the night.
"Si Ruxu."
"He said Si Luoheng is fine now, you don't have to worry."
