From a distance, there is only torrential rain, and the rolling waves will submerge the lighthouse.Thick fog rose up, thickly gathering and surging on the sea surface.

Li Shuo couldn't help turning his head, and saw a huge body slowly appearing.No one saw its appearance clearly, it seemed to fall from the sky suddenly, and it seemed to have stood in the sea for tens of thousands of years.

He could only see a vague figure, but the sense of oppression almost suffocated him.

In the flickering light of the lighthouse, and in the rainy night intertwined with thunder and lightning, it let out a dull roar.

Li Shuo has never heard this kind of voice before. Every syllable is a special rhythm, mixed with many complicated meanings. A huge amount of knowledge is filled in it, and the whole sky is trembling together.

Then a dazzling electric light suddenly pierced the darkness, and the whole world was bright as day in an instant!

It cut through the sky like a sharp sword and fell on the giant beast.What followed was a huge wave of hundreds of meters, carrying thunder and lightning that exploded.Li Shuo was already far away from Luo Island, but the boat capsized in an instant.

The cold sea water was poured into the mouth and nose, but fortunately the electric current did not pass through.This kind of wave can directly slap a person to death with great force, and the exoskeleton on his body firmly protects him, and a large amount of energy buffers the force from it.

Li Shuo's water quality is excellent, and after a few minutes, he found the lifeboat from the dark sea and boarded it again.

He didn't remember how long the battle lasted that day, and he didn't know how many times he was thrown into the deep sea.

The energy regeneration speed of the exoskeleton was no longer enough to fully buffer it. Later, he endured the force with his body, endured the force without losing consciousness, and climbed onto the lifeboat again.Later, all the lifeboats were swept away by the turbulent waves, and he could only hold on to half of the driftwood, sinking and floating with the turbulent sea.

The whole world is shaking.

Lightning and thunder gathered together, and the terrifying, earth-shattering roar echoed in the mist——

The terrified eyes, the dim storm, the fiery blood splashing from the arteries, carrying the soul together.

It was a gigantic creature that collapsed in the ghostly light of the lighthouse.

Xia Yinan still had a little feeling in the freezer.Since then, this scene has never been forgotten by him, and it will appear every time his sanity collapses.That nightmare was a gray memory, but it was the last time he could perceive those people.

The force field imprisoned almost all of Yugosothoth's power, and even hindered its ability to travel through time and space.

It was killed by the race it most despised in this trap set by its own energy.

When the body fell down, it set off a wild wave in the sea, and then turned into a thick mist and dispersed.

Dead silence, only the sound of rain in the world.

The pitch-black sea gradually returned to calm, the lighthouse had completely collapsed, and almost all the bedrock it stood on had disappeared.Li Shuo gritted his teeth and dropped the last piece of wood, and started swimming back in that direction.

On the way, a brief yellow light streaked across the sky. "Yellow Seal" - the word crossed Li Shuo's mind. It seems that they successfully stole the energy of Yellow Seal through the force field set by Li Yaxin.

But it also means that Hastur is really attracted.

He returned to the original position of the lighthouse before his physical strength was exhausted.There's still a pitiful little foothold there.What was even more frightening was that the nearby Luo Island had completely sunk, and there was no trace of its existence in the waves.

The well-protected freezer was shattered, and Xia Yinan was lying on a small rock under the heavy rain, his eyes still closed.

Li Shuo saw Qiao Yaoyao lying on his chest, covered in water and blood, with hair scattered on his forehead.There was a little light blue substance on her hands, and the power surged in it. Just looking at it, it was purer than all the energies Li Shuo had seen before.

The end of the energy disappeared at the scar on Xia Yinan's chest.

Although Li Shuo didn't know how the energy was fused, he felt relieved at this moment, after all, Qiao Yaoyao was still there.

However, Qiao Yaoyao looked at Li Shuo, as if he wanted to say something, wanted to smile at him, but he just moved his lips and couldn't make a sound.The sea water was about to soak up, and dark blood gushed out from under her prostrate body.

Li Shuo was taken aback for a moment before he noticed the huge penetrating wound on her chest.Qiao Yaoyao took one last look at him and Xia Yinan, then let go of his hands limply, and was swept to the bottom of the sea by the icy sea.

Li Shuo will never forget that look in his life.

Subconsciously, he was about to catch up and pull her back, but a strange feeling rose in his heart.

Something is wrong.Something is wrong.

Even the eyes that were branded deep in the soul just now began to blur through the majestic rain.Looking around at the few corpses floating around, Li Shuo realized that he didn't even recognize them.

The familiar name is on the lips, but he can't make a sound, and the clear memories are being erased layer by layer.

Li Yaxin told him that being killed by Yuge Sothos will not erase existence.Only Hastur.Only Hastur.

Excessive physical exertion and rapid memory loss made Li Shuo's mind a little confused.He frowned and thought for a few seconds, and asked himself in doubt, who is Li Yaxin?

A few seconds later, the name also disappeared from memory, drowned in the rolling waves, and sank to the bottom of the sea.

But what he already knew would not be changed. He still remembered the existence of Hastur and Xia Yinan in front of him.A sense of crisis struck, and he could only pray that the spare ships nearby were not damaged.

It took him another 10 minutes before he barely swam to the nearest anchored boat.It was a boat that was neither too big nor too small, and it was the only surviving one among many spare boats. He got on the deck wetly, panting heavily, and drove the boat over.

Finally, he approached the small foothold again. He didn't know whether it was the high tide or what, Xia Yinan's half body was already submerged in the water.He jumped down hastily, ready to take him back to the boat.

After the wind picked up, the waves were still strong. It took Li Shuo a lot of effort to put Xia Yinan on the deck, and he almost lost his strength against the wall.

He didn't even dare to sit down because then he wouldn't have the strength to stand up again.

The ship started, and he saw some strange substances floating in the air, which were shattered by the light blue residual force field.

Looking up at the sky, he saw a figure standing in the dark clouds.

It remained silent, countless strange energies pouring out from its body, constantly trying to break through the force field again, strangling the two people on the waves.Occasionally, there would be energy fluctuations that brushed past the ship, like a red-hot knife splitting butter, drawing sharp scars on the sea surface, and a few seconds later, a huge amount of seawater poured into the crack and disappeared.

Yet the ship escaped after all, and Hastur failed to start killing again.As the distance increased, the yellow mark on Xia Yinan's right hand also flickered from flickering to dimming until it disappeared completely.

In the night, the ship was engulfed in darkness, and there was no trace of it.

……

When Xia Yinan woke up, there was a small light all over his body.A dark yellow light enveloped the room, just like the room he and Li Shuo had many years ago.

His eyelids were heavy, and he blinked slowly a few times before he gradually returned to consciousness.He saw a person lying on the bed, wet all over.

He tentatively raised his hand to touch it, but his hands were weak and he could barely move.He rested for a few minutes, and felt his strength returning at an incredible speed, and his hand, which he couldn't lift before, became stronger.

So he lightly touched the man's cheek.

Li Shuo woke up almost instantly, raised his head suddenly, and met his eyes.

It was still the same pair of dark eyes, even though they were weak, they were still as fresh as ten years ago.At this moment, Li Shuo couldn't speak any words, and all the words secretly prepared in his heart disappeared.

After a long time, Xia Yinan frowned slightly, looking very puzzled: "Li...Suo?"

"...Yes. It's me." Li Shuo couldn't tell why his voice was hoarse.

His body temperature hadn't recovered from being soaked in sea water. At this moment, Xia Yinan's temperature was a little warmer than his. He unconsciously pressed his forehead against Xia Yinan's palm, and couldn't say a word. He fell into a deep sleep, finally unloading his burden.

Xia Yinan lowered his eyes and saw that the hideous wound on his chest was still there.His heart should have been pierced, and then the nerves and muscles were constantly reconnecting, and they began to die rapidly due to the severity of the injury.

This process looks extremely terrifying, as if the body is trying its best to survive and is constantly struggling on the verge of death.

But how did this injury come about?

He only remembered the figure in yellow clothes in the yellow sand.He went there by car, who was sitting next to him at that time?

Xia Yinan had no memory at all.

The wound on his chest was constantly healing and necrosis, which brought unbearable chest tightness, and he felt that he would not be able to breathe after the next bite.There was also inexplicable irritability and bloodthirsty rising in his heart.But Li Shuo was resting on his hand, and even his breathing was slightly cold. Xia Yinan tried to sit up, suppressed his impulse, and put him on the bed.

The next day was a fine weather, the sun shrouded the earth.

Li Shuo opened his eyes, was momentarily dazed and then sat up abruptly.Xia Yinan was standing at the door of this abandoned seaside hut, looking at the sunrise in the distance.

The orange-gold light warmly shone on the sea surface, elongating his shadow.

All Li Shuo's words choked up again, and became silent in front of the scene in front of him.

It is absolutely impossible for a person who has been in a coma for so many years to stand up immediately.But whether Xia Yinan was running or fighting, there was no problem and he could move freely.It's just that the wound on his chest was too fatal, and it was given by Hastur, and he was still fighting with the new energy in his body.

After tidying up, Xia Yinan asked, "What's going on?"

Li Shuo was silent for a long time: "...This is a very long story, but there are many places, I don't remember much."

"It's okay." Xia Yinan sat over and sat beside his bed, "We should have enough time." He smiled, "You've grown so much, you're even taller than me."

Li Shuo also laughed, and then hugged him tightly: "I'm better at playing the violin, and I'll play it for you later."

They lived for a long time in this abandoned cabin by the sea.

This is a sandy beach on the border of the alliance, dozens of kilometers away is Kelsen driving a submarine to find the military base of Maestra.A hundred kilometers further inland is Pingcheng City, but nothing happened now.

Xia Yinan's heart injury still didn't get better, and it was draining his vitality day by day.

Because of this unbearable and weird pain, he couldn't sleep very well at night.Li Shuo couldn't fall asleep like this, and he couldn't fall asleep until he heard his breathing gradually stabilized.

After all, the wound was too hideous, and he was afraid that when he woke up the next day, this person would be gone again.

"...So, let's clear our minds." Youri Xia Yinan said, "Such a group of people really should exist, otherwise many of our memories are too inexplicable. But it is true that as you said, there is no specific information at all. Impressed. Then," he pointed to the notes spread out on the desk, "we're going to follow this, right?"

"Yes." Li Shuo nodded, "This is something I carry along the way, enough to see its importance."

"Okay. First of all," Xia Yinan picked up the note, "The so-called force field to prevent higher existence will have a time to expire. So you must leave the earth and this galaxy before it expires, otherwise Hastur or Others are still coming and ruining everything. Estimated time of failure is 2185."

He put the note back: "So, how do you leave the earth? Do you build a spaceship together?"

"Do you still remember the light blue energy?" Li Shuo asked, "It is written in the notes that this purer energy can be used in the aviation industry, which can greatly speed up the construction of starships."

"Then how do we persuade everyone to leave together?" Xia Yinan said, "Can we live until then?"

"Theoretically, you can." Li Shuo replied, "I... I don't know for sure, but I don't care, it's mainly up to you." He smiled, "You are so smart, you must be able to think of a way, right? "

Xia Yinan frowned: "Who knows, and this kind of thing is all theory after all. According to what you said, I should be the new Yogosothos in the future. What is this? I was expelled from the human race Is it?"

"I don't know." Li Shuo rubbed his eyebrows with a wry smile, "No one can say for sure. According to estimates, you are likely to inherit the negative aspects of this high-level existence, such as violent tendencies, or It's a bloodlust."

"..." Xia Yinan sighed, "Forget it, let's look at the next item. The second item is all about politics, so what is it for?"

It is all written on it, the governance problems encountered by the Alliance in 2311.

It took a lot of turmoil and wars before they learned their lesson and re-consolidated the new distribution of power.

"This is probably an early warning." Li Shuo analyzed, "In my impression, someone told me to be alert to these problems, and to prepare for the revolution in advance when necessary."

"Wait, wait," Xia Yinan interrupted him, "Are you really sure that I can live to that time?" He looked at the hideous wound on his chest, "To be honest, I feel like I'm dying. "

Li Shuo said: "For Yugosothos, it can have different incarnations in different time periods. This time we can completely kill him because of that special energy, only this same source Only things that can directly cause damage to its body. So theoretically speaking, there are countless you in other time and space, who are alive."

"Wouldn't it be the same as a monster?" Xia Yinan tapped the table with his fingers, "And if there are really different me, I can't feel their existence at all now, how can I go to the past or the future? "

"I don't know." Li Shuo still replied, "But one day you will understand."

"Let's hope." Xia Yinan leaned back in his chair, and his eyes fell on the notes again, "The next one, when you feel that human beings have hope of survival, you must use the yellow seal... This standard is too subjective. How can such an assertion be made?"

When he said this, he was a little dazed.

As if in a sea of ​​blue water, someone tried to touch his cheek outside, but was blocked by glass.

He didn't know why he thought he could smell the aroma of baking bread on her hand.

"Don't look at those violent and bloody things." Someone said softly and gently, "If, if you think that this world and human beings can continue to go on, then you must use this mark. You have to remember these things carefully .”

These fragments were so real, he tried to recall them, but returned to a blank.

"They must believe in your judgment, and so do I." Li Shuo said, "Because as long as the time axis is not fixed, there will be higher beings who can go back to the past and change everything at any time, so all our efforts will be in vain. gone."

"According to what you said, the Yellow Seal has already been used once?"

"Yes. On the day when the lighthouse was destroyed. Yellow Seal can be fixed for a long time. It is conservatively estimated that this time it will be at least decades. That is to say, although these researchers disappeared, if they go back a few years Before, when the lighthouse had not been destroyed, we could still see traces of their residence, but we couldn’t see them anymore.”

Xia Yinan said: "Then you can only see those piles of documents?"

"Maybe, it will be weird anyway." Li Shuo smiled wryly, "They really disappeared completely."

"..." Xia Yinan looked down, "The last one is to perfect the Alpha system. Only with the help of completely rational machine thinking can we understand higher existence." He put down his notes, "This is the best one to understand, but It's not so easy to achieve, unless I really have such a long time. And," he looked at the wound on his chest again, which was already in severe pain, "I'm dying."

This time Li Shuo was silent for a long time again.

Then he said, "You won't die. If you then free the power of time, remember...remember to come back and see me."

Xia Yinan raised his eyebrows in surprise, as if he just remembered the fact that Li Shuo would not go with him.Then he narrowed his eyes and responded in a low voice: "I will not forget you, wait for me to come back."

But even that statement is a lie.

The day Xia Yinan died was a sunny afternoon.

The energy just obtained, and Hastur's remaining strength in the wound produced a fierce fight.The speed of self-healing could not keep up with necrosis, Li Shuo held his hand by the bed and accompanied him to the last moment.

The moment his breathing stopped completely, his body began to dissipate into a strange gray mist, just like Yugosothos that day.

Afterwards, Li Shuo stayed in the abandoned hut for another half a month. He set up a crude tombstone for him, without writing his name, because he believed that in a certain time and space, Xia Yinan was still alive.

He thought that he probably really liked Xia Yinan.Why, even he himself can't tell, maybe it's because of his bad jokes and smiles when he sees people, maybe it's because of the good times when he is lying at the table and listening to him playing the violin Or maybe it was because the rainy night when Li Shuo came to the lighthouse by helicopter, the light that hit Xia Yinan was too bright.

In the long day and night together, the good feelings when they were young and ignorant finally turned into another kind of emotion.Love is eternal and great, cursed and praised.

Li Shuo walked towards the inland alone on a sunny afternoon without any luggage.

He wasn't even sure if Xia Yinan still existed.But those people who couldn't see the faces clearly in memory told him that there was a high-level existence close to human beings named Cthugya.

If you pray to it, you might get enough power.

Enough power to let him find the one he loves in the long time that has become lonely.
