The sky was so gloomy that it seemed like it was about to rain. Tiandis's gaze moved upward, past the towering glass buildings, and finally settled on the restless dark clouds over the city. The hazy clouds piled together, as if they had weight, and finally
The heavier part has even begun to fall and is about to touch the tallest building.
The sound of the wind roaring in the clouds was like blowing a thousand old trees at the same time, whistling. Tiandis watched quietly for a while, trying to find any trace of the upcoming rainy season in the gloomy sky.
Unfortunately, there was no harvest. Even the air was very dry. It seemed that it would take a long time for the rain to fall.
Where will it end up? The Ancient Gond Forest? The Yamaga Wetland? Or the more distant Dragon Roaring Mountains? It is said that a group of giant dragons who did not obey the rule of the Dragon King built a new city-state there, but they were able to adapt here.
What about the temperature? In an area that has been experiencing high temperatures and drought for a long time, with only three months of rainy season every year, for a giant dragon that is used to flying with snowflakes, it may not be enough to cool down the raging residual temperature in the heart.
At this moment, countless creatures who have endured the pain of the dry season are looking forward to it, eager to smell the sweet smell of rain in the air, but the only response to them is the sticky breath on the tip of their noses and the endless surge of dark clouds.
And the depressing feeling brought by the wind - the sultry and restless feeling before the rainy season is as uncomfortable as the darkness before the dawn.
It wasn't until heaven called her name that Tiandis came back to her senses.
"Tantis."
She turned her head and saw the figure of the silver-haired girl standing at the door of the control center, looking at her quietly. She spoke word by word, her voice was very soft but clear, and she was not heard from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the corridor.
The strong wind covered it up: "You have been dazed outside, so I came over to check on the situation."
"Ah, I'm sorry." Tiandis then realized that he seemed to have kept her waiting for a long time, so an apologetic expression appeared on his face: "I was just wondering if it would rain today, and I was a little lost in thought.
, didn’t notice you.”
Tianjie was a little surprised, because she thought this was a very simple question and it shouldn't take that long to think about: "It will always rain."
The girl said in a calm tone: "Even if it doesn't happen today, it will rain sooner or later, because the rainy season has arrived, Tiantis."
"You are right, but -" Tiandis glanced out the window again and sighed: "I think it would be best if it rained today."
"Why?" Tianjie was puzzled, why did it have to be today? Could it be that Tiandis's character has become as impatient as Alice and can't even wait a day?
"Maybe it's because... I'm not in a good mood today. I always feel uneasy." Tiandis smiled: "It would be nice if there was a heavy rain to cool down the impatience and uneasiness in my heart.
"
Impatient? Uneasy? These words seem difficult to associate with Tiandis. Tianjie couldn't help but ask: "What are you worried about?"
"Yeah, I'm curious myself, what am I worried about?" Tiandis raised her head, and the thick gray clouds in the sky accumulated under her eyes, making her eyes look like they were dyed with a layer of dust.
Yin Ying. She spoke softly, as if she was answering a question from heaven, or talking to herself: "Obviously everything is changing for the better, but I always have an uneasy premonition, and I feel as if I have ignored it.
What? But if I am not sure about it myself, who can say that this is not a groundless omen?"
After saying that, she laughed at herself: "Maybe people like me just like to worry too much."
Tianjie didn't know how to answer. She felt that Tiandis' mood today was indeed a little off. She wanted to say a few words of comfort, but her mouth was too clumsy and she couldn't think of any powerful comfort. Just now
When she was in a dilemma, suddenly there was a low thunder outside the window. It was the kind of muffled thunder, not loud, and usually not a sign of rain. It did nothing except make the already depressed heart more irritated. But this
The muffled thunder was like the most shocking and powerful hammer blow, hitting Tianjie's mind hard, causing her body to shake violently, her face turned pale, and she finally discovered something was wrong.
"Love..." She hesitated and stammered out a sentence: "Love, what should Alice do?"
"Alice?" Tiandis was startled for a moment, then quickly waved his hand, disapprovingly: "Do you want to say that my uneasiness is because of her? Don't worry, that guy is very comfortable. He definitely doesn't know where to hide and play games now.
Well, nothing can happen."
Her comfort didn't seem to have a very good effect. Tianjie's face was still pale and he looked out the window in horror. Tiandis rarely saw such a rude look on her face, it would be better to say that this was the first time he saw it.
She couldn't help but move forward, trying to appease her emotions, but the girl suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed tremblingly outside the window. Her usually calm voice was now mixed with a trace of panic and endless worry.
Dazed: "Love, Alice..."
Alice?
Tiandis was startled for a moment, then looked back subconsciously.
She stayed where she was.
Under the dark sky, a lonely and thin figure fell lightly like a butterfly with broken wings, passing through her eyes. The long golden hair spread all over the sky, like withered yellow in the wind.
Flying like ginkgo leaves.
The girl who fell from the sky was covered in injuries, but she still struggled to maintain a clear consciousness. As she passed by, she seemed to feel a familiar breath, so she reluctantly opened her eyes, and her dull eyes reflected the sky.
When the figures of Tis and Tianjie appeared, a bright and joyful light suddenly burst out. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the space spanned a height difference of three hundred meters and was frozen in the corridor on the 100th floor of the Game Command Company Headquarters Building.
Above, through an entire transparent glass window, the girl Tidis, who had not yet realized what had happened, briefly looked at each other with the bruised girl Alice.
The latter opened his mouth, opened and closed his lips several times, and said something silently.
Tiandis guessed from the shape of her mouth that the sentence should mean...I'm sorry.
Then, time and space flowed again, and the girl's figure dropped rapidly, completely disappearing from Tiandis' sight.
There was nothing in front of her, only the gray haze clouds were still rolling, and the dry wind was howling.
…
"Click——"
The sound of broken glass was like a harsh noise, sharply scratching Tianjie's eardrums. She suddenly woke up and realized that it was Tiandis who broke the glass window in front of her with a punch, and then jumped down without hesitation, irregularly
The glass shards fell downward together with her long black hair, like stars surrounding a long river in the dark.
She may not have understood what the current situation was, but her body's actions were much faster than her brain's thinking. This was a rare situation for Tiandis, who had always been calm and collected. The girl bit down gently.
Lip, without hesitation, stepped over the glass debris on the ground and jumped out. Against the backdrop of the gloomy and dim sky, it was like jumping into a cliff with no way back.
Six floating cannons quickly opened up behind the girl, intertwining rays to form the shape of wings, lifting her body to the ground smoothly. But perhaps due to her uneasiness, Tianjie still staggered and almost fell when she landed.
He didn't have time to calm down the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart, but forced himself to suppress those emotions and hurried to Alice's side. At this time, Tiandis had already held the girl's thin body in his arms, not caring about the close proximity.
The smell of blood called her name eagerly: "Alice! Hello, Alice? Are you okay!? Wake up quickly... Damn it!"
She put her palm on Alice's forehead and felt the magic in her body, which was crumbling like a dying candle. This level of injury was beyond her ability to treat. There was only one person in the entire Eden world.
Can heal this injury - even though that person is no longer in Eden.
Tiandis gritted his teeth, picked up Alice, and said to Tianjie: "Don't be in a daze, come with me!"
Then she hurriedly entered the headquarters building. Tianjie already knew what she wanted to do, so she couldn't help but pursed her lips and followed silently. The two of them walked all the way to the elevator. Tiandis did not choose among the existing floors, but directly
He said: "Authenticate with the authority of the administrator of the Heavenly Temple to open the way to the basement."
There was silence in the elevator for a while, then the indicator light flashed three times, and a mechanical voice sounded: "Certification permission, authorization has been passed."
Immediately, the elevator began to slowly descend, moving towards the secret room deep underground in the game command company headquarters building, where the biggest secret of the entire Eden world is hidden, and it can even be said to be the origin and destiny of its birth - the Heavenly Boundary Bridge
.
Tiantis wants to open the Sky Realm Bridge and send Alice to Earth, so that the goddess who is currently in another world can personally treat her injuries. This is the only way to save her.
"Damn it!" The elevator moved down very quickly. For Tiandis and Tianjie, it felt like their days were like years. The former couldn't help but cursed to vent his anxiety and uneasiness. In addition,
More angry: "What good things did Alice do? She disappeared for more than half a month, and she was so seriously injured when she came back. It's really, really——"
She thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of a word to describe the current situation. What's more, even if she thought of it, what would happen? In her current state, could Alice hear what she said? She was so seriously injured, when
There is no guarantee that he will be able to wake up. When he thought of this, Tiandis lost interest and didn't want to speak anymore. He just waited silently in his heart for the moment when the elevator stopped.
Tianjie glanced at her absent-mindedly, and then at the unconscious Alice in Tiandis's arms. Her face was so pale that it was a little scary, her bangs were wet with blood and stuck to her forehead, and because of the wind,
Due to the urgency, she had completely frozen. Her breathing was weak. If it weren't for the dead silence in the elevator at this time, it would be almost inaudible. That weak and helpless look had never been seen in the girl's memory.
And he may be the culprit that caused all this.
Thinking of this, Tianjie couldn't help but tighten her lips, and her body trembled imperceptibly, as if she felt the humidity and coldness from the rainy season in advance. After lying and concealing, she seemed to have learned a new emotion, named
Because of fear. She was afraid that Alice would really fall asleep, that she would never see that silly but optimistic and cheerful smile again, and that once she told the truth, Tiandis would completely hate her.
.After all, she was the youngest sister who was created just before her mother left. Before that, Tiandis had lived with Alice for so long. The relationship between them must be deeper than his own, right?
So, do you want to continue lying and concealing? Just pretend that you never knew about it? After all, Alice asked her to conceal it from the beginning, and this is not the first time she has lied to Tiandis. If there has been
After experiencing it for the first time, will it be easier the second time? When Tianjie thought of this, she was so scared that even her lips lost the color of her blood and her eyes lost their luster. She hugged her arms helplessly and felt a deep pain.
Cold, ashamed that he had such despicable thoughts.
She slowly lowered her head, letting her bangs block her helpless gaze. When she spoke, her throat was as dry as if it had been burned by fire, and her voice was so hoarse that even she was shocked: "Tiantis..."
"Huh?" Tiandis raised her head and saw Tianjie's shivering and trembling appearance. She was originally in a very irritable mood and couldn't muster the energy to talk to her, but when she thought that her irritability would also affect Tianjie, she struggled to
He forced a smile and comforted her: "Are you scared, Heaven? It doesn't matter. Alice will be fine. You see she is just asleep, just like she usually likes to sleep in. So I want to send her to the earth.
Go and ask Mother to wake her up and teach her a lesson to see if she dares to sleep in in the future..."
She seemed to really regard Tianjie as her sister who didn't understand anything, and actually used such clumsy words to comfort her. This made Tianjie funny and sad at the same time. She thought that Tiandis was always like this, and she was always mature and stable.
, but always loses perspective when it comes to my sister. She is really a very strict but clumsy sister.
Thinking of this, the tip of her nose felt a little sore again. She quietly reached out her hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. After sniffing, she tried her best to speak in a calm tone: "I, Tiandis, I want to say... maybe,
I know why Alice was injured."
Tiantis' smile froze on his face.
Tianjie didn't dare to look up at her, but took advantage of her astonishment to tell all the previous events, including the war that broke out between mortal civilizations, Alice's request to let her hide the matter, and the last one.
, she told herself excitedly that a joint meeting of all races was about to be held to completely resolve the outcome of this dispute.
Of course, the real ending only happened today.
The girl's thoughts were very confused, not as clear as when she usually organized information and data. She just said whatever came to her mind, and occasionally became incoherent and stammered, which showed how flustered and uneasy she felt at this time. With difficulty
After retelling what happened, she buried her head lower and anxiously waited for Tiandis's reaction.
scold or...
"What two idiots!" Tiandis's face was cold, and it took a long time to squeeze out a word.
