Chapter 1563 Fall
Game time AM07:21
Tianzhu Mountain, southern edge of the Seventh Outer Mountain
A tall and thin figure is trudging in the wind and snow, given that here It is rare that the Seventh Outer Mountain is not protected by a barrier. It is a protected place, so the environment is very harsh, the endless storm almost never stops, and the visibility is also frighteningly low, so much so that the old man’s two eyes with a visual acuity level of 5.3 can only see less than ten meters around him, but this is so , he is still looking for something unremittingly.
Chasing the vague aura, Jadeka Diesel walked forward step by step, her large robes flying in the strong wind, and her solid steps were firm and powerful.
Finally, after trekking for about ten minutes, a slender silhouette appeared in the old man's field of vision.
A pretty and cute girl with short silver-gray shoulder-length hair and a pair of pointed animal ears is curled up beside the mountain wall in a daze, her light blood-colored eyes are slightly lowered, and her expression looks a little dull.
"Ya Ya!"
Lao Jia immediately roared, and then skillfully used one finger to open the stopper of the bottle of [Spicy Burnt Powder] hanging under the wristband. The moment the fire elemental aura rose up, he danced his self-destructing walking stick and gently shook out two [Firework Rings], dispersing the wind, snow and cold around Yaya, and then rushed forward with a meteoric stride, running while Called: "Are you crazy, girl? Don't you know how dangerous a place without barrier protection is! Master Lu Wei has said it many times before, doesn't he recommend that we set foot in the cooling zone that is not covered by barrier? ? The edge of the Seventh Outer Mountain was specially set aside by him for the heat dissipation of those large engineering creations!"
Ya Ya, who seemed to be distracted, was slightly startled when he saw the fire around him, and then showed a cute smile. , turned around and smiled at the old mage who was striding towards him, like his second grandfather: "Jadeka~"
"Why are you so playful and smiling?"
Jadeka rushed to Yaya with a serious face, then squatted down and started to pat the snowflakes on the girl's body, and said angrily: "Why do you always like it these two days? He ran around where no one was, the day before yesterday it was the basement, yesterday it was the storage room of the third workshop, and today he simply ran outside the barrier. Mo has been around a lot recently, doesn't you usually like to stick to him? I know you are like this..."
He arched his teeth to Jadka, interrupting the old man's babble: "I was wrong~"
Jadka also felt soft-hearted. After saying this, he immediately showed a kind smile and patted the girl's little head gently: "It's good to know that you are wrong, but you can't do it again in the future..."
"Can I not change it?"
< br>
Yaya innocently interrupted Jadeka and gently tugged on his cuffs.
The old mage choked at that time. After a while, he sighed silently, placed a resistance fire ring with himself and Yaya as the center, and slowly sat down next to the latter, silently. After a while, he asked: "I noticed that you have been avoiding everyone recently."
"Hmm."
Ya shrank his neck, and then nodded slightly.
“Oh, you young people.”
Jadeka shook his head and sighed, then raised his hand to brush away a snowflake on the top of Yaya's head, and asked tentatively: "Good boy, tell Lao Jia, is it because you feel that you are not from the same world as Mo and Little Pigeon? , that's why..."
But Yaya interrupted the old man again, shaking his head like a rattle: "No, no, it's Yaya. ...Well, it’s my own problem. There’s something on my mind.”
Jadeka blinked and asked curiously: “What’s the matter?”
“It’s hard to say.”< br>
Ya Ya looked down at her white little hands and muttered: "I don't know myself, I just... feel like a lot of things have changed."
Jadeka frowned in confusion. After thinking to no avail, he decided to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere, so he smiled and said, "That's right. For example, you girl can speak much more fluently now than before."
< br>"Well, this is also a change."
As a result, Yaya not only did not smile, but even buried her little face in the knees she held, and whispered: "There are many changes, I don't like it very much. "
Jadeka stroked his gray beard, and did not rush to give chicken soup or reason. He just said in a reassuring voice: "If you don't mind, you can talk to me. ”
It’s not that there was any estrangement after knowing that Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge were from other worlds. The reason why Lao Jia said this was because he could barely be regarded as an ‘elder’, in other words. A grandfather-like existence, he is on equal terms with Mo Tan and others, but after all, his age is here, and he is not like Lu Wei or Hao. Although his age cannot be seen on the surface, he does not know whether he is alive or not. He is an old monster for many years, so he still feels like he shares his grandfather.
Although Mo Tan and Ya Ya are natives of the alien world and the innocent world respectively, they have no relatives. Ji Xiaoge does have grandparents, but no grandparents, so Lao Jia still behaves like a grandfather occasionally.
For example, have a heart-to-heart talk.
To give an inappropriate example, everyone knows the saying of kissing another generation. The general meaning is that the older generation is often easier to deal with than the previous generation. The main reason is that they are doting and not meddling.
Although Lao Jia has no blood relationship with these people, and is not even from the same world as Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge, and Dabus, he is still satisfied with "not meddling in other people's business." The three elements are 'older generation' and 'pampering'.
On this basis, Yaya, who is naive and simple most of the time, is closer to Lao Jia than Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge, who are more mature in thinking.
Therefore, even if Yaya would not mention some words to Mo Tan and others, he would say them to Jadeka.
For example, when she was in Academy City before, she told Jadeka about her inexplicable ability to use Common Language proficiently. And when Yaya himself asked to keep it secret, Jadeka did it to other people. Not a word was mentioned.
To sum up, the old mage believes that Yaya should be willing to open up to himself, and we all know that many things will make people feel better if they are spoken out rather than kept in their hearts, because then It can give people the illusion that they are not solely responsible for it.
"It's just..."
Ya Ya flattened his mouth, scratched his hair twice feebly, and after a while he said: "I always feel that my mind is confused lately, and... I don’t know why, it’s just... very uncomfortable.”
Jadeka's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he asked in a deep voice: "Do you feel uncomfortable? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be physical discomfort."
Ya listlessly He shook his tail and muttered in a low voice: "I'm not feeling well."
Jadeka was stunned again and said in astonishment: "Not feeling good?"
"Well, I'm feeling bad. Uncomfortable.”
Yaya nodded vigorously, and his two furry animal ears lay softly on his hair. Not only did his little face not turn red due to the blizzard around him, it even turned a little white: "I often think of some things recently... Very scary, very scary." The old mage said at this time. His expression at this moment was completely serious. He put his wrinkled but generous and strong hands on Yaya's shoulders and asked seriously: "Tell me carefully, Yaya, this is not a trivial matter!"
Tooth His teeth trembled for a moment, and then he shook his head vigorously, and there was even a hint of crying in his tone: "I can't think clearly, I'm so scared, I...I only know that it happened when I was a child...many people... So many... ugh!”
Girls He did not succeed in finishing his words, but at the moment when he was subconsciously reminiscing, he turned to Jadeka with red eyes. Not only did his eyes not have any innocence at all, there was not even the restlessness and madness in the violent state. There was only a look that made Jadeka. Deka felt a chilling silence.
To put it more vividly, Yaya’s eyes lost their brightness at this moment.
Even Jadeka, who has been exposed to strong winds and waves, couldn't help but feel horrified when he saw Yaya's expression at this moment. He immediately shouted in a low voice: "Ya..."
"Yeah!"
As a result, the girl in front of her returned to normal in the next second. She blinked her eyes in confusion, then shook her head vigorously, with a cry in her voice. He said: "I can't think clearly, I'm so scared, I..."
"Stop!"
Jadeka stopped his teeth with the fastest reaction speed in his life. The girl's words interrupted the girl's thoughts before the scene just appeared again, and then asked with a solemn expression: "Ya Ya, do you still remember what happened just now?"
"Just now?"
Yaya was stunned for a moment, and then muttered subconsciously: "Just now Jadeka found me, and then we talked about my... changes, Jadeka said if you don't mind We can talk, and then I talked about some uncomfortable things recently. Jadeka asked me to talk about it carefully, I..."
Jadeka stared into the girl's eyes: "What are you doing? ?”
“I was thinking about what to say, but I was interrupted by you.”
Ya Ya showed an innocent smile to Jadeka, his ears slightly raised. He became nervous: "But I'm in a much better mood now, hehe~"
But Jadekar could not laugh.
Because just a few words ago, Yaya in front of me was looking at me with that indescribable look. It was a gaze that was so hollow that it was dizzying. In those red eyes... something None.
At this moment, looking at the girl who had returned to normal, Jadeka still couldn't convince herself that it was just an illusion or illusion. On the one hand, it was because of the 'ins and outs' that Yaya told him personally, and on the other hand, Yes——
The old man just realized that Yaya’s beautiful eyes were not her original eye color.
In Jadeka's memory, Yaya's eyes should be the kind of aqua between blue and green. In short, it can be blue or green, but it is definitely not the light red at this moment. .
In fact, what scared Jadeka the most was that because Yaya's eyes would turn red for a long time after being in a violent state, neither he nor Mo Tan and others seemed to notice this problem, so that he I simply can't recall when Yaya's eye color settled at light red.
Before today, Jadeka thought that the reason why Yaya's eyes turned red was because her violent state was similar to [Madness], and it was because of the surge of blood in her body.
But he has only now realized that these are probably completely different things, and the problem that happened to Yaya has a high probability of not being a good problem.
“We can’t go on like this!”
With a gloomy expression, Jadeka pulled Yaya to stand up, and said sternly to Yaya, who was trying hard to look as lively as usual: “Your There is something wrong with your body, kid. Although I don’t know the reason, it is definitely not a problem that can be ignored! Let’s go back and discuss it with Mo and the others, and then..."
"Woof!"
However, Yaya did not let Jadeka finish her words. She suddenly shook off the other person's hand, bared her teeth subconsciously, and her voice was as raw as a beast's roar. : "No, Jadeka, you are not allowed to let others know, I... ugh... can't... let others know!"
After saying the last words, the girl with dizzy eyes even had a trace of blood flowing out of the corner of her mouth. blood.
Jadeka was shocked when he saw this, but before he could speak, Yaya loudly interrupted him again -
"You can't let others know... hide it... you must Hide it well... Yaya is a good boy... Don't let anyone find Yaya... Don't let anyone know..."
Let the blood dripping from the corner of her mouth burn several small holes on the bloody face, Yaya staggered back, her eyes were as cloudy and hazy as if she was drunk, and less than ten meters behind her was outside the Seventh Outer Mountain. That terrifying abyss.
At this moment, Judka realized that he might have inadvertently irritated the other party and regretted it. However, he could not make any remedial measures, even though the old mage at this moment would never be stingy with his epic poem. However, facing Yaya, whose momentum has quietly climbed to a half-step epic, he really has no confidence that he can subdue the latter in one move.
Although it was just intuition, the old man was 99% sure that as long as he made the slightest move, the girl in front of him would definitely jump down without hesitation.
It would be okay if this was just an ordinary mountain, but Jadeka could clearly feel that the closer to the cliff, the higher the unknown bound component in the air would be. According to his instinctive calculation, when The moment he and Yaya rushed out of the cliff, their physical fitness had been forcibly suppressed to that of ordinary people.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be some kind of defense mechanism of Tianzhu Mountain, a strange mechanism that at least based on the level of an epic knight, he is completely unable to resist, and he doesn't even know how to resist.
The scene froze like this...
Jadeka did not dare to move or speak randomly. He could only use his expressions and eyes to convey his harmlessness, while Yaya kept standing in place. Talking to himself, uttering illogical words as if in sleep, he was trembling violently as if facing something terrifying that was approaching.
"Help... Yaya..."
In the end, when Jadeka finally managed to hear the words clearly, the girl used all her strength to step on the ground and rushed out He reached the cliff of the seventh outer mountain, and then——
began to fall.
