It's funny, Yu Yuan can still feel sea sand from deep in his trouser pockets, gaps in shoelaces and other places.
After he woke up from the beach, Lin Sanjiu had disappeared; but part of his mind still remained under the night shrouding Black Mountain Town, feeling the cool breeze on the roof... The empty and desolate white beach in front of him,
It was like a temporary set piece, and he never thought he would stay here for a long time.
So he never went far; in the past few days, Yu Yuan would return to the beach every day and sit there all day long - maybe the beach was in a forgotten corner of the world. After so many days, he
No one was seen.
At that time, Yu Yuan never imagined that this would become an almost fatal opportunity.
"The spaceship was caught by the clouds." When he said this sentence, he himself felt ridiculous. Yu Yuan retracted his body from the window, quickly closed the window again, and said: "Are you sure there is no air in the sky near here?"
A copy, right?”
"No," the driver was anxious at this time and took off his helmet and glasses, revealing a gentle and delicate face - although it was different from what Yu Yuan thought he would look like, there was a certain look to it.
A reassuring sense of calm. "Spaceships come and go on this route. If there were copies, everyone would have known about it."
Yu Yuan sighed. "Sure enough...it was me who got you involved."
The people who would attack him at this time, apart from Oasis, would not think twice... How could he find him so quickly?
Yu Yuan touched the tattoo on his face—sure enough, he was too recognizable?
"It's unlucky for me," the pilot explained after hearing the explanation. Perhaps because he had never seen the power of Orcius, he was still calm, but understandably, he looked unhappy. "Then we have no choice but to work together.
Escaped…what does the cloud look like?”
This question does not need to be answered by Yu Yuan, he can know the answer himself - because at this time, it is like the sky is on fire, and thick clouds and smoke are drifting in from the gaps in the doors and windows of the spacecraft. Several thin streams of smoke are drifting in.
Thin, rolling smoke-gray clouds just rolled in through the crack in the window behind the driver, and like tentacles, crawled towards his face little by little.
"Get away quickly,"
With quick eyes and quick hands, Yu Yuan grabbed the driver's collar and pulled him away from the window. However, the clouds and mist seemed not to be interested in people and did not chase them. They just touched and blended with each other.
They came together and slowly rolled into a thin piece.
The driver turned around and stood firm, glanced over, and looked grim. "What will happen if it hits you?"
In addition to the windows, there is also the same small piece of cloud floating on the cabin door of the spacecraft, which is only the size of a human head. The clouds outside are still slowly flowing into the cabin at a constant speed, but the speed is very slow; through the sometimes thick and sometimes thin clouds, the clouds are
The outlines of the covered doors and windows are still vaguely visible.
"I don't know either," Yu Yuan said, "but it's better not to touch it. There aren't many clouds and fog coming in now, so we have to find a way to get rid of them as soon as possible. Do you have special items like trash cans?"
He remembered Lin Sanjiu's old silver trash can, which was very suitable for the current situation, and that type of item was also very common in the Twelve Worlds.
Before Yu Yuan could explain what he meant, the pilot seemed to have understood. He shook his head and said, "I don't have anything that can connect to the sub-space, so I can't send the clouds away. What's more, even if I do, we can't
Driven to change the direction of the clouds and mist, there is no guarantee that it will go deeper into the trash can... If we can change the direction of the clouds and mist, then there is no need for sub-space items. As long as the clouds outside are broken apart, the spacecraft can regain its freedom.
Already."
Yu Yuan was startled.
"You're right," he agreed, and suddenly felt a sense of joy and fear in his heart. Fortunately, he was not trapped in the sky alone. He had a companion beside him, and we could discuss and think together - this place is not like that after all.
A deserted, endless beach. "Your reaction is so fast... So what do you think we should do?"
"We have to understand the nature of this cloud first,"
While staring at the clouds and mist, the driver pulled out a folding knife-like weapon from the bag on his waist. He unfolded the knife and pressed it somewhere, and the blade immediately buzzed with a slight buzzing sound.
The faint, deadly blue light - it seems to be quite powerful.
"Something from the arsenal," the driver explained, and then he carefully approached the small piece of thin cloud near the window, gently probed into the cloud with the blade, and made a sudden stroke; the blade fell into the air again.
, but the tip of the knife is like a marshmallow stained with a little lead gray, with a small cloud added.
Yu Yuan frowned, casually found a long rope used to secure things on the spaceship, and sent it into the clouds and mist - when he took it out again, there was also a small group of gray clouds hanging on the end of the rope.
"It seems that you didn't cut off the lump..." Yu Yuan stared at the rope and said, "It seems to have a kind of stickiness. If something touches it, it will stick to it."
The driver found a ball of cloth from somewhere and wiped the closed blade on the cloth; when he took it off, there was still a cloud on the blade, but it was slightly smaller - and
A little bit, stained on the cloth.
"You're right." The pilot closed the folding knife with a snap, and the little cloud on it was squeezed into the scabbard; he threw it casually and threw the knife into the corner of the spacecraft.
."I'm afraid this knife is useless."
He thought for a few seconds and asked Yu Yuan: "Do you have any protective equipment? There is no parachute on the ship."
Yu Yuan understood and nodded.
Even if there is no parachute, as the two evolutionaries, if they are packed with protective items, nothing may happen if they jump; but when Yu Yuan walked with him to the other window of the cockpit, he didn't have much confidence in his heart——
Since they were trapped in mid-air, how could they simply jump off the ship?
There are a total of three entrances and exits on the spacecraft: a hatch and two windows. There is a layer of cloud and mist floating on one of the doors and windows, and it is getting larger and thicker as time goes by; the window frame was still vaguely visible just now.
and the door frame have now completely disappeared into the clouds and mist. At a glance, there is only thick, slowly rolling clouds of lead-ash smoke.
Only the last window, which was the window where Yu Yuan leaned out to check the situation just now, was still a blue sky, not yet wrapped in dark clouds.
"It's a bit strange," the driver also became a little suspicious, "could it be that these clouds and mist are not controlled by humans? Otherwise, why is there a window specially left for us... You can open the window, I will use protective equipment to block it.
in case."
Fortunately, he has a calm personality and a thoughtful mind; if you have to be trapped with a stranger, he is indeed an ideal candidate.
Yu Yuan opened the window very slowly, always ready to close it again - but after the glass rolled down, the sky outside was still empty and quiet. If he didn't even stick his head out, he wouldn't think of the things wrapped in the hull.
foreign body.
After opening the window, Yu Yuan settled down. For two or three seconds, he didn't know what he was waiting for. No matter what it was, it never happened; outside the window was the same as a few minutes ago, without even a breath of wind.
"I'll jump first," Yu Yuan turned his head and said to the driver: "This incident happened because of me. I was the one who got you involved. If there is any crisis outside, it stands to reason that I have to be the first to deal with it.
It makes sense to break through. Besides...if I'm in danger, maybe my enemy will let you go."
In order to protect him, Yu Yuan did not even tell the driver the name of Oasis - he did not forget that Oasis would not let anyone know of his existence.
"Then be careful," the driver said seriously.
Yu Yuan stepped on the driver's seat and the window frame; the window was very small, so he curled up his back and prepared all his muscles to pounce hard.
Just when his body had just leaned out of the window eaves and was about to fall into the sky, a thought came into his mind.
...There is not even a breath of wind outside.
How come there isn't even a breath of wind in the sky?
However, this idea came a step too late. The brief moment when he could rein in his horse had passed, and he had no chance to seize anything. Yu Yuan could feel that his body was being pulled out by gravity almost involuntarily.
About to fall into that calm, thin, pictorial blue sky.
At the moment when all the blood in his body rushed to his mind, he felt a hand suddenly reach out from behind him, and grabbed Yu Yuan's back vest, biting him firmly without letting him fall.
Yu Yuan's fall was stopped in this way, and he could quickly turn around and reach out, pulling himself back into the window frame - although he didn't fall, his heart seemed to have dropped.
Yu Yuan calmed down and felt relieved; the driver loosened his coat and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay..."
"Why did you suddenly grab me?" Yu Yuan asked, pointing to the blue sky outside the window, then he came to his senses and quickly closed the window. "You also see that something is wrong?"
The driver shook his head, but pointed to the other side of the window that was shrouded in mist. "No, I saw that."
Yu Yuan turned his head in the direction he pointed, and his eyes fell on the clearly visible outline of the window; after a pause, he suddenly frowned tightly. "What's going on..."
"Did you notice?" the pilot sighed and said, "When we were about to jump off the ship, I glanced at it. I remember that at that time, the windows were completely invisible. But just as you were about to jump off the ship, At that moment, I subconsciously looked back and found that the windows were visible again. The clouds and mist had been drifting into the ship, but they did not spread too far, so they only became thicker and thicker... Why did the windows appear again? I had an intuition. Problem, so I quickly grabbed you. I haven’t figured out what the specific problem is yet.”
Yu Yuan turned his head and looked at the blue sky outside the window.
"...Look," he called softly.
Under the gaze of the two of them, the blue sky outside the window was like a paper towel soaked in water, slowly falling apart and breaking into many small pieces, revealing the rolling dark clouds underneath. The broken blue sky was rolled up and kneaded, As soon as the clouds and mist swallowed it, it swallowed it deep and disappeared.
"After completely engulfing something..." the driver murmured, "can these dark clouds take on the appearance of that thing?"
