Chapter 329 Floating Light Bubbles
As a certain emotionless voice sounded, Zhilan's fingertips touched a certain soft surface. It was warm, as if wrapped in a layer of animal fur, and it was the same touch as long ago.
Zhi Lan was stunned for a moment. He slowly grabbed Su Hui and moved his palm upwards to carefully feel the outline of his body.
"...Where have you been? I just..." Zhi Lan's mind went blank, and he continued unsteadily, "I just seemed to have a nightmare."
Tamo was speechless.
He didn't know why it was like this, but now his body was indeed confined within a certain system shell.
Yuzhuo's rebirth ability can make everything temporarily return to the starting point. Tamo's original intention was to let Yuzhuo meet Zhi Lan before him, but unexpectedly... Yuzhuo actually brought him back as well.
He was even confined to the previous system shell.
"Backstream? Why aren't you talking?"
Tamo felt the warmth of Zhilan's palm. The confinement inside the shell of this system was not strong. Because of its fake silver ball appearance, Tamo only needed a little force to tear the shell apart.
But now facing Zhi Lan, Tamo suddenly lost his strength.
He didn't have the courage to let Zhi Lan see him like that again.
Yuzhuo must have had the same plan in mind. He knew Tamo's special feelings for Zhilan, so he chose this time specifically for them to meet.
It also imprisoned Tamo in the silver ball.
Tamo could sense Yuzhuo's presence, so he must have come to this time and space with Tamo. But where is he hiding now?
"Upstream?" Zhi Lan called out again.
Tamo came back to his senses immediately. He fell into Zhilan's palm. After a long time, he adjusted the mechanical tone and spoke carefully.
【I am here.】
"What's wrong with you today? You don't talk." Zhi Lan put the silver ball in his hand and rubbed it. After a while, he put his cheek against the system surface of the silver ball and muttered to himself, "Are you sick?"
Tamo's whole body froze. He looked at Zhi Lan's eyes so close to him and felt a pang in his nose.
[I am a machine and I will not get sick.]
"I don't believe it." Zhi Lan rubbed his cheek, "You have a fever. Your body is so hot."
【……】
Tamo withdrew all the energy he had used to track Yuzhuo's aura. He leaned on Zhilan's chest, and retracted his light amidst all kinds of doubts, uneasiness, fear, and extremely uncomfortable emotions.
It has been a long, long time... a long, long time since Zhi Lan treated him like this.
This dream created by Yu Zhuo for him was full of dangers and sugar-coated bullets.
Tamo found it funny. His testing equipment was emitting a warning sound similar to pain, stimulating his brain nerves, but at the same time it made him feel calm and at ease for some reason.
【Zhilan, I seem to be really sick. 】
Tamo's voice was dull. He greedily absorbed the aura from Zhi Lan during this short period of time.
[Hold me, hold me...]
Chi Lan was a little surprised. He gently stroked the silver ball with his pale fingertips, and the darkness in his eyes rose and then disappeared: "Why are you so proactive? You were never like this before."
Tamoh cuddled up to him and didn't move.
[…Am I not the same as before? ]
"Not like that." There was an inexplicable hint of coldness in Zhi Lan's voice. After he finished speaking, his eyelashes drooped, and he hugged the silver ball again, touching his nose to his. "But you are very lovable now, too."
【……】
These explicit words never sounded vulgar when spoken by Zhi Lan. Tamo's uneasy heart began to beat again. He deleted the alarm, but only the numbness and sourness left in his heart from the aftershock.
[Zhi Lan, after I leave, do you want someone to accompany you? You are all alone here, in this world...]
Zhi Lan never liked this topic, so he interrupted him: "Aren't you just accompanying me?"
[…That was in the past.]
"It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future." The blind eyes stared, and the voice was soft but powerful. "You can go, but remember to come back. I will wait for you here."
Tamo's eyes were dry.
What if I can't come back?
Zhi Lan smiled and said, "Then I will go find you."
Tamo stopped in the air, not knowing what he was thinking. While he was spinning the ball, he was pulled outside by Zhi Lan.
"I've been feeling much better lately. Remember what we talked about before? I want to go outside for a walk. I don't need a wheelchair. I can walk by myself..."
Tamo followed behind Zhi Lan. Zhi Lan's health had indeed improved a lot. In the past, he had difficulty walking because of his deformed dragon tail, but now he could stand straight on his legs and walk some distance with difficulty.
His ankles were pale, with veins visible. Tamo looked at them for a while, then flew forward and let Zhi Lan hold down his ball.
【I'll take you away.】
Zhi Lan paused for a moment, his expression unchanged, holding Tamo and nodding slightly: "Okay."
The castle was surrounded by mountains and dense trees, with flocks of birds nesting there and chirping from time to time. Tamo was floating in the air, and he landed on Zhilan's shoulder from a distance, just as he remembered.
Zhi Lan's eyes were raised, and from time to time he told Tamo about what he had seen and heard in his dreams, with his brows furrowed, as if he felt troubled and uneasy.
【Zhilan, dreams are all fake, don't worry. 】
Tamo flew beside Zhi Lan. He wrapped the obviously thin body underneath with soft light, slowly transmitting his own repair energy.
Zhi Lan looked up and smiled, "I know, those are all fake, only we are real."
As he spoke, he stepped on the stone blocking the road.
Tamo was still floating in the air. He moved slowly behind Zhi Lan, his eyes flashing across the small stone.
The pebble was not like an ordinary pebble, its surface was full of holes and black spots. Tamo looked at it for a few seconds, and suddenly there was a buzzing sound in his ears.
Another small stone fell from the sky, hit his system casing, and fell to the ground.
Tamo slowly raised his head. The sky was pure white, like black ink sprinkled on white paper, and finally torn into a crack. From time to time, small stones fell from the dark place. Tamo looked up blankly, knowing that these were all garbage pouring in from outer space.
The sky is cracking... this world is still heading towards destruction.
"Suihui, I feel a little tired." Zhi Lan's figure became blurred as the sky cracked. Tamo quickly flew down so that Zhi Lan could hold him up to support his body.
Zhi Lan's lips were pale, and his deformed dragon tail had become stiff and difficult to move. He could only move forward bit by bit with difficulty.
"...I wanted to watch the sunset with you, but now I can't." Zhi Lan pulled his lips helplessly, "I always hold you back."
【It's the sun's fault that you can't see the sunset, not yours. 】
Tamo spoke in a steady voice, carrying Zhi Lan and walking slowly forward.
【It didn't land at the right time.】
Zhi Lan groaned twice: "You are really good at talking... If Eunuch Sun finds out, he will beat you to death."
【It is no match for me.】
Zhi Lan: “…”
