Myriad Realms Exchange Machine

Chapter 157
"It's almost dawn." Li Yu said to Qiu Tong.

"This plane that is about to be destroyed won't see a few sunrises." Qiu Tong replied to Li Yu.

Tun will come out of the east, and the fusang will shine on my threshold.Fuyu's horse is driving safely, and the night is bright and bright.

The demon stretched out a hand wrapped in thick fog and held Lu Xu's head.Just at this critical moment, a ray of morning light passed through the window and shone into the cold room. It was like a sharp blade piercing through the thick shroud in an instant. The white hole comes.

The demon roared loudly, seemingly unwilling and angry. Its huge claws slammed down, and it was about to crush Lu Xu's head.However, the monster failed. The moment its claw touched Lu Xu, it turned into a phantom. It just passed through Lu Xu's body peacefully, and could not cause any more damage.

Not only the huge claws, but also the monster itself and the black mist that has been surrounding it are gradually becoming transparent, becoming uncertain, as if it will disappear at any time.

"The bloody night is over." Xu Tao woke up at some point.He stood up, walked out from the shadow of the corner, walked straight through the thinner and thinner body of the monster, retrieved his sword, and continued: "Your hands can no longer hold the sword of this world." Anything, go back to your own world. If possible, I hope we don't see each other again."

The demon stretched out a finger that was almost the same color as the air, pointed at the tip of Xu Tao's nose, and smashed a human sentence directly into his heart, "No, we will see you again." After saying this, the huge demon In an instant, it turned into a blank and disappeared in place, as if it had never appeared before.

Xu Tao took a deep breath, put the Jiezi sword back into the scabbard, and then squatted down to observe Lu Xu's situation. Only then did he realize that he had just woken up not long ago, but it was Lu Xu's turn to use up his physical and mental strength. Passed out under the double overdraft.

Have you ever dreamed?The kind of nightmare that is deeply trapped in fear and despair, but cannot escape.What's more, let you clearly know that it's a dream, but no matter how hard you struggle, you can't wake up... If you think it's a dream, I think it's an obstacle, a demon, and something in the human heart A barb.

Lu Xu felt that he was back in that dark and narrow room again. There was no light or wind, and there was only boundless darkness.He never dared to hide in a corner of the room, because he heard something rustling in the dark depths of this room——a pale, rotten child!Stretch out to him little skinny hands like bird's claws, to draw him between them!
don't want!I don't want to stay here!let me out!
Lu Xu suddenly had the courage not to know where, and suddenly rushed to the position he thought was the door, fumbled frantically, and sure enough, he touched the doorknob, and pushed it without hesitation, the huge door followed his push. And crashed to the ground.Strong light came in through the open door, and Lu Xu could finally see the whole room clearly, but after just one glance, he knelt down on the ground and wailed inhumanly.

It was a pale and rotten child, chained to a rusty water pipe, stretching out his skinny little hand like a bird's claw, weeping silently, begging him for help!And that child's appearance is clearly that of Lu Xu when he was a child!

With a "slap", Lu Xu was woken up by a slap in the face.

"If you want to sleep, sleep well! Why are you howling!" Xu Tao rode on Lu Xu, grabbed his collar, and cursed aggressively.

Lu Xu didn't know whether he was stunned by the young man's slap, or he was still trapped in the aftermath of the nightmare. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time, but just stared blankly at Xu Tao, and said after a long time, "I'm still alive." Thinking back, he remembered that he swung his sword recklessly at the monster, but he didn't even hurt the monster's skin.

"Well, you are indeed still alive." Xu Tao put down Lu Xu's collar, walked to the fire not far away, and then began to roast a poultry object skewered on a branch, while saying lightly: "In the morning I I searched for useful supplies nearby. Fresh food after a power outage is not easy to preserve, but fortunately, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and basically every household has bacon, chicken, sausage and other things in stock, so we don’t need them for the time being. Worried about diet."

Seeing the boy's extremely calm posture of grilling meat there, Lu Xu settled down, feeling something was wrong in a trance, and suddenly realized after three seconds, he looked at the boy with an expression as if seeing a ghost, and said faintly: "You How did you come up with the idea of ​​barbecue in the oldest building in the world?" There was a tinge of blame in his tone.

The boy glanced at him, and said indifferently: "You can choose not to eat?"

"..."

Overdrawing the mental and physical strength of the night, if you are not hungry until now, you will be superman!Lu Xu swallowed his saliva looking at the golden bacon in Xu Tao's hand, and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't eat it...I just think...here..." At the end of the sentence, he could only see the trembling of his lips, but there was a trace of it. No sound.

"If you want to eat, stop talking nonsense!" Xu Tao unceremoniously tore off a leg, and then handed the rest to Lu Xu.

Naturally, Lu Xu couldn't be more polite, and it was a bit of a bite when he took the chicken.

Seeing Lu Xu's slightly embarrassed eating appearance, the corner of the boy's mouth curled into a smile, and then he skewered another large piece of bacon, put it on the fire and roasted it carefully.

The subsequent eating process of the two was lackluster, so I will omit it here.

After the two of them had eaten the barbecue and drank some hot water, Xu Tao's watch was pointing to eleven o'clock in the morning.Then, the two looked at each other in silence, as if they were each thinking about something.

So after a while, Xu Tao finally said, "I know you have a lot of questions to ask. Feel free to ask, I will tell you everything I know."

Lu Xu rubbed his slightly messy hair, squeezed a wry smile, and said, "I had a lot of questions to ask last night, but now I don't know where to ask them."

Xu Tao frowned, rubbed his temples with his fingertips, and said, "Ask whatever you want, and you have to hurry after you finish asking. You must find a safe place to hide before dark."

As soon as the young man finished speaking, Lu Xu immediately thought of the full moon-like eyes peeping at the two of them through the window, trembling all over, and hurriedly said: "Well, the first question, what happened to this city? "

Xu Tao leaned against the wall, changed into a more comfortable position, and said, "Do you still remember that heavy snowfall? The red snowfall on Christmas Eve."

Lu Xu nodded.

"It's not just our city!" Recalling the scenery of that night, Xu Tao felt that blood was dripping from his memory, but he still said calmly: "Almost everyone who was contaminated by those snow waters became demons, red-eyed, disowned, and started massacring everyone they saw who hadn't been exposed to the snow."

"Almost?" Lu Xu caught a keyword and thought that he had also been exposed to that kind of red snow, but it did not produce any changes.

"Yes, 'almost'. There is a kind of people who will not be affected by those snowflakes, such as me and you." Xu Tao nodded, turned his eyes to the Jiezi sword in his hand, and continued calmly: " At first, some people hid in the room and did not touch the snowflakes, thinking that they would not be affected, but as time went by, the snowflakes seeped into the water source and evaporated into the air... Now, anyone who can still be rational People who are not affected by that snowflake."

"What about the people in this city? Even if they all become red-eyed demons, there should be several million? Where are they all going?" Lu Xu murmured.

"The second question?" The pale and frail young man's eyes were also blank, and he said, "I don't know either. If I have to explain, I can only tell you that those red-eyed people all evaporated overnight! Then from the night when the red-eyed man disappeared, legendary monsters, fierce beasts, and evil spirits descended on the city one after another, hunting down the last human beings every time night fell. Fortunately, these monsters and other creatures came into contact with The sunlight will return to nothingness, so there are only a few dozens of people left in this city."

After Xu Tao finished speaking, he saw Lu Xu standing there leaning against the wall. Although his expression was calm, his eyes were full of despair.

"Is this hopeless?" Xu Tao asked in a contemptuous tone.

"Why did it become like this?" Lu Xu murmured in a trembling voice: "I'm just an ordinary person, I just want to work peacefully, save some money to go back to my hometown to buy a house, and marry an ordinary woman to live an ordinary life. It's just life...why? Why did it become like this?"

Listening to Lu Xu's soliloquy, Xu Tao felt inexplicably irritable, so he walked over and grabbed his hair, raised his head, put the sword edge against Lu Xu's throat, and cursed: " What the hell are you doing! If you are really desperate, just boldly stretch your neck forward, and with one strike of the sword, all worries will disappear! Tell me! Do you want to die?"

The cold blade was close to the skin of the fatal part, and the touch was like a bolt of lightning that instantly spread throughout the body. Only then did Lu Xu look at Xu Tao. The pale young man's eyes were full of tears at the moment, and he said angrily, " Compared to those who have died, you are so lucky! Why are you so desperate!"

"I'm sorry." Lu Xu didn't dare to look at Xu Tao's pure and persistent eyes any more, and lowered his gaze to say a word of apology.

Xu Tao let go of Lu Xu's hair dejectedly, stepped back a few steps, then turned his back, and said, "I should be the one who said I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I ignored your feelings."

Qiu Tong looked at the two people in the distance with disgust, and said: "I finally understand why this plane was destroyed."
