Until it finally raised its head and gave him a very faint smile with a face exactly the same as his elder brother Lou Xun.
"Xiao Di?"
The tone of voice was almost identical, even the slight hoarseness and familiar warmth remained unchanged.
Bai Di's heart suddenly shrank, as if it was tightly grasped by some invisible force.
The man was half-naked, with sticky liquid dripping from his body, and he walked towards him step by step.
The liquid seemed sticky, but it did not stick to the body at all, as if it was isolated by some invisible force.
Every step seemed heavy and slow, as if every step was stepping on Bai Di's heart.
"It's just Big Brother, don't be afraid. I'll explain it to you after we get out, okay?"
Lou Xun said this as he slowly walked over. There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes, as if he was comforting a frightened child.
The body was also covered with black scales that shone with tiny golden patterns, which came from nowhere. The scales flickered with a strange light in the dim light, as if it was some kind of chaotic vision, weird and ghostly, with white bone spurs stacked up to decorate it, which was extremely sharp.
Bai Di stared at the other person with his slightly sharp almond-shaped eyes. He said nothing, but his eyes were filled with complex emotions.
Although his brain was frantically warning him that all this might just be an illusion, his intuition told him that the person opposite him was Lou Xun.
Although he didn't know why the other party had changed so much, he had to admit that he was indeed not as vigilant as before.
"Brother...is it really you?"
Bai Di's voice was calm. He tried to sound cool, but his eyes couldn't deceive him. The magic of the matter was beyond his imagination.
Lou Xun stopped, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "It's me, Xiao Di. It's me."
Lou Xun's voice was like a rusty string, each syllable wrapped in years of fatigue.
The hoarse ending tone vibrated in the air, but was completely drowned out by the dark tide surging in his eyes - it was a terrifying repression, like the sticky lead clouds before a storm, compressing countless unspoken words into suffocating black spots.
Bai Di's fingertips pinched into his palm unconsciously.
He stared at the new tiny scar at the corner of the other person's eye, which snaked like a centipede in the dim light.
The joy of reunion was crushed to the ground just as it began to sprout, and was replaced by something sharper, which continued to grow along with the strange halo that flickered in Lou Xun's pupils.
Emotions that he couldn't understand fermented in the other person's eyes, like candlelight seen through frosted glass, with a glass bottle that could burst at any time hidden under the warm surface.
"How could you..."
Bai Di's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his voice was like an ice-hardened blade that split the stagnant air.
He suddenly discovered that Lou Xun's left finger joints were covered with fine needle holes. The purple bruises were particularly glaring on the pale skin, like a string of unhealed curses.
The corners of Lou Xun's mouth raised in a carefully calculated arc.
This smile reminded Bai Di of the last time they met. The other party had given him the same strange smile and told him to live well in the academy and come back to their home when he had enough fun. He would always protect him and so on.
——A gentle mask as perfect as if measured with a ruler, even the frequency of the eyelashes trembling is controlled just right.
Is there something wrong since last time?
Then why am I only now...
Bai Di's eyes were wandering.
But when he suddenly came to his senses, he saw that Lou Xun's right hand hanging by his side was twitching with extremely slight amplitude, as if invisible threads were tearing at his nerves.
"Let's talk about it outside."
Lou Xun's voice suddenly became as light as a feather, and his outstretched arm drew a hesitant arc in the air.
The bright red threads on the arms were still wriggling and interweaving, stitching together the body bit by bit.
Bai Di stood up suddenly and almost knocked over the broken stone fortress under him. In his somewhat awkward movement, he saw something finally shattered deep in Lou Xun's pupils that shrank instantly - perhaps it was a disguise, or perhaps it was something more precious.
Although his body longed to get closer, his mind told him that this might all be an illusion.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Lou Xun's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"I know you're scared and confused right now. But you have to trust me. I'm your big brother and I'll never hurt you."
There was a hint of determination in his voice, as if he was promising it with his life. Bai Di took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
His heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness, but he knew deep down that Lou Xun had never let him down.
Despite this, his hands were still trembling slightly, as if an invisible force was preventing him from touching Lou Xun's arm.
Finally, he mustered up the courage and slowly extended his hand, as if it was an extremely difficult decision.
His fingers gently touched Lou Xun's arm. Although the arm was covered with black scales, it exuded a familiar warmth that made him feel both intimate and unfamiliar.
However, the moment his hand touched Lou Xun's arm, his heart suddenly skipped a beat for unknown reason, as if he had a bad premonition.
Then he seemed to hear Blore calling his name in the distance, the voice seemed particularly clear in this strange environment.
His heartbeat suddenly quickened, and an inexplicable panic surged in his heart.
At this moment, the hand that was so close to him withdrew as quickly as lightning.
"Say it right here."
Bai Di's cold voice rang out.
