I saw that under Yang Yiyi's feet, the underground space she dug with all her strength had not changed at all. It was still just the shallow pit dug out at the beginning.
The shallow pit was like a big grinning mouth, seeming to silently mock the girl's incompetence.
Bai Mo just glanced at the stones under his feet and made a judgment in his mind, and said without emotion: "The surface layer under our feet is black rock, which is not very hard, but the slightly bluish stone underneath is just the opposite. This level of
An explosion can't destroy it at all."
Although he didn't say it clearly, Yang Yiyi seemed to have heard what the other party meant - this guy was clearly saying that he was doing useless work.
She lowered her head and looked at her cracked tiger's mouth without speaking for a long time.
Bai Mo looked at her silently.
This time Yang Yiyi did not complain about Bai Mo for not telling him earlier. She looked very depressed and her eyes seemed to have lost all color.
The air becomes dull.
"This pit should be big enough for one person. Just lie down in it. You should be able to hide in it by curling up."
After a while, Yang Yiyi spoke in a deep voice, her voice sounded particularly hoarse, but what she said surprised Bai Mo.
He wondered whether he should laugh or cry: "Why do we have to hide underground?"
"But do you have any other options?" Yang Yiyi looked up at him with gloomy eyes.
Bai Mo didn't answer, but suddenly asked: "If I hide in, what will you do?"
Yang Yiyi said nothing.
The air fell silent again.
However, the huge curtain made of human skin obviously will not stop at all because of their silence, and is in the final stages of finishing.
The surrounding space became increasingly cramped, and human skins were so close that Yang Yiyi could even smell the stench emanating from those human skins.
"You hide inside."
She slowly stood up with her still numb body and spoke to Bai Mo again.
Bai Mo didn't move at all, just looked at her without saying a word.
At this moment, those human skins were only one step away from the two of them, and they might be able to eat them both in the next second.
As for the consequences of being "eaten" by these human skins... both of them knew it very well.
"I told you to come in!"
Seeing that Bai Mo remained motionless, Yang Yiyi finally became anxious and reached out to grab the other person's hand.
However, Bai Mo suddenly grabbed her wrist with his backhand. His strength was not strong, but she couldn't break free.
Yang Yiyi was stunned, raised her head and wanted to say something, but she happened to meet Bai Mo's deep and indifferent eyes.
Her wrist was a little cold, and the other person's body temperature, which was obviously lower than that of ordinary people, seemed to make her calmer.
"You seem to have forgotten one thing."
She heard the other party say.
"What?"
"Before I came in, I said I would protect you."
Bai Mo seems to always have that calm expression, and his voice rarely contains emotions.
"So when you are in danger...you just need to hide behind me."
As if being struck by a thunderbolt, Yang Yiyi was instantly deafened and stared blankly at Bai Mo.
She murmured in a low voice: "Now let's talk about this..."
The next second, her voice stopped suddenly——
Without warning, light suddenly appeared in the dark passage.
It's not the kind of white light that makes people feel extremely warm, but a dead black light.
However, perhaps because this black light was too deep, it actually made Yang Yiyi feel extremely at ease.
The huge black shadow began to expand from Bai Mo's feet, forming a medium-sized circle that just happened to wrap Yang Yiyi inside. Then it suddenly rose up to form a huge circular light pillar, wrapping the two of them like a barrier.
Inside.
The sounds around her seemed to have disappeared. Although she knew that she was still in that passage and still in the darkness, Yang Yiyi still felt a sense of calm in her heart, and her rapidly beating heart began to slow down.
The rise of the light beam set off a particularly strong gust of wind, blowing off Yang Yiyi's hood, causing her long black hair to scatter in all directions, and her bangs also fluttered, revealing the cross scar on her right chin.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it.
In front of Yang Yiyi, Bai Mo's hair and clothes were also blown by the strong wind, and the dark light flowed like water behind him, making his face look a little unclear.
But Yang Yiyi seemed to be able to see that the other party's expression must be very calm at this moment.
All human skins were blocked by the beams of light, and even if the faces on the human skins became more and more distorted due to anger, they could not move forward even half an inch.
He could only stare at the two people in the light beam with extremely malicious expressions.
Although it is only a small circle, it seems to be a safe zone isolated from all dangers.
Yang Yiyi was stunned.
When the strong wind stopped, she put her hood back on as if waking up from a dream, covering her scars with her bangs.
Everything seemed to be calm again.
The same was true for Yang Yiyi. If it weren't for the human skins around her that still existed, she might have had a good sleep.
――In this circle of light.
"So, this barrier is indeed your 'strong arm', right?"
At this moment, a slightly teasing voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her thoughts.
Yang Yiyi couldn't help but move the flashlight up, letting the light shine on Bai Mo's smiling face.
"Tch, let's just do that..." She curled her lips and said.
However, the slightly hesitant tone could more or less explain her mood at the moment.
The corners of Bai Mo's mouth were slightly raised, and he smiled without saying a word.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Suddenly, Yang Yiyi stared at Bai Mo fiercely as if she remembered something.
"Tell what?" Bai Mo pretended to be confused.
"You obviously had a way but you didn't tell me, which made me dig a hole for so long!"
"Oh." Bai Modan said calmly, "I see that you were working very hard just now, and I really can't bear to dampen your enthusiasm."
If it weren't for the smile in this guy's tone, Yang Yiyi might have forced herself to believe this guy's lies.
But in the end she just took a deep breath and said nothing.
What Bai Mo just said still echoed in her mind for a long time -
"So when you are in danger...you just need to hide behind me."
Maybe it was an illusion. Thinking about it now, the words just now seemed softer than anything this guy had ever said before...
Although the surroundings were still filled with oppressive black light, Yang Yiyi's thoughts suddenly drifted to a long, long time ago. Her eyes were no longer pitch black, but gradually became hot and bright, making her almost unable to open her eyes.
That was a rising sun.
She saw her dying brother lying on the grass and smiled hard at herself.
She walked up silently and knelt down.
The brother touched her head with his last strength and said a lot of words, but she can no longer remember a lot of the content. Only a few sentences are particularly clear -
"Brother can no longer take you to watch the sunrise. I know what you want, and I also believe that one day, you will be able to climb any high mountain and wait for the sunrise there - no matter how many times you watch it. Everything is fine.”
"I firmly believe this."
"But... now that my brother is gone, you have to rely on yourself to protect yourself. But don't worry, just hold on for a while. This world is a mess, and there might really be reincarnation - if that's the case, I will definitely find you again and continue to protect you."
The elder brother closed his eyes and looked extremely pale, but there was still a smile on his face.
To be continued...
