When Zhou Tingting parked the car in the community, Tao Qiu fell asleep leaning on Gu Yan's shoulder.

Without his consent, Gu Yan asked Zhou Tingting to send them to her apartment. Now, she didn't intend to wake Gu Yan up, but just picked him up and went upstairs directly into the house.

Tao Qiu's body is very light, his tender skin dries up a little bit, and the moisture disappears a little bit, which makes his weight drop a lot.Tao Qiu was drowsy all the way, but as soon as Gu Yan put Tao Qiu on the sofa, he woke up.

"This is my home." Gu Yan smiled slightly.

Now, Tao Qiu was finally taken to his apartment in a straightforward manner, but this was the situation.

"You take a shower first, I called the doctor to bandage you for a while." He said softly.

Tao Qiu nodded.Although he couldn't open his eyes, he managed to stand up and walked lightly to the bathroom.

Tao Qiu took a shower, although the hot water on his back shoulder hurt a little, other than that, he didn't feel any extra feelings.It seems that the five senses are a little dull to him.

When he went out, Tao Qiu stared at his own face in the mirror on the washstand, as if he almost couldn't recognize himself.

He raised his two hands, thin and dry, trembling slightly, as if suddenly out of breath, he pressed his chest.The heart is also irregular, beating in all directions.

He put his hand on the sink, and the time in his body passed like an hourglass. In another day or two, the influence of time will probably disappear completely.

But this old-fashioned body seemed to have reached its limit.

When Tao Qiu went out, Gu Yan was sitting on the sofa bent over.Bend down, wearing a loose white shirt.

He looked very lonely and depressed.

Gu Yan seemed to be sitting at the far end of the spacious room.

It was as far away as the crevice space that he had inadvertently broken into.There, he met Gu Yan.

Although he has always been a little surprised that Gu Yan in that space is slightly different from the real him.

But at this moment, the two figures seemed to overlap.

Tao Qiu walked up to Gu Yan step by step, as if walking for a long time.When I got there, I felt a little exhausted.

The dark brown leather sofa was very soft, Tao Qiu let out a long breath, and fell obliquely on the sofa.

Through the strands of hair hanging over his eyes, he saw Gu Yan standing up, walking over, and squatting down in front of him.

His vision is not very clear in daily life, and now it is even more blurred.

Gu Yan lowered his head, and used his index finger to stroke his face over and over again, feeling cool.

He closed his eyes, sleepy.

After this sleep, it will probably pass the cricket's time.

Tao Qiu fell into a half-asleep and half-awake state in front of Gu Yan, his eyes seemed to be closed, but there was a crack in them, looking at Gu Yan half-open.

It seems to be asleep, and it seems to be just in a chaotic trance world, unconscious.

Gu Yan shook his shoulders, and Tao Qiu kept looking at him with half-empty eyes.

A very thin seam, vague and fragile.

Gu Yan was next to his ear, whispering his name, and patted his cheek lightly, but Tao Qiu didn't respond.

"Get up quickly, if you don't get up again, I'll take advantage of you." Gu Yan murmured softly.

Anyway, he was so unconscious, it was meaningless to him to take advantage of it or not, so Gu Yan lowered his head and kissed him on the lips, but a tear slipped from the corner of his eye and landed on Tao Qiu's face.

There seemed to be a bell ringing outside the door all the time, and he didn't have the strength or thought to open it.Then the phone rang, and then she wiped her face with the back of her hand and went out.

The family doctor came in and treated Tao Qiu's wounds briefly. The wounds were only red and swollen, and no blood was seen. The doctor ordered a few words to eat lightly, and then left.

Gu Yan moved Tao Qiu from the sofa to the bedroom.

The balcony of the bedroom has a whole wall of glass.The wind and night outside poured in.

He felt like his chest was wide open, and there was nothing inside. The strong wind and night passed through his body like a tide, and he drifted with the current in this turmoil, feelingless and emotionless.

But he was still a little sad.

Gu Yan sat in front of Tao Qiu in a trance.He didn't know what was waiting for him after this night.

But after all, it was not his style to sit and wait for death, so he stood up unsteadily, found Tao Qiu's black backpack that was thrown on the sofa, and rummaged through it.

A black leather bag wrapped with a five-element needle, and a few incense sticks to repel insects, in addition, there is a thread-bound book.

Gu Yan took out the book.The pages of the book are yellowed, the title is loose and vague, and "Chemical Atlas" is written in small seal script.

Gu Yan's heart suddenly moved, like a crack opened in the frozen earth, all hopes and fantasies grew and spread infinitely along this crack.

He stood up, a little agitated.He took the book, opened the door and went out to the terrace.The whole book is in pre-Qin characters, he can't understand it at all, but he can understand the illustrations.He remembered Tao Qiu said that mantis is a kind of cicada.

It didn't take long before he saw the cicada-like creature with thin wings.

He took pictures with his mobile phone and sent them to Zhou Tian one by one.

After sending it, he dialed Zhou Tian's phone number, and almost at the same time, the phone was connected there.

The voice over there was very silent: "What are you sending?"

"I know you can understand it. You can translate it and send it to me. Three or ten minutes later."

"Gu Yan, I heard from Tingting that you have gone into trouble." Zhou Tian said.

"Don't worry about it. I'll wait for you for 10 minutes."

Over there sighed, "I've seen the picture, it's written in different languages, please give me two hours. I'm not sure about some of them, I need to check the information."

"Then you hurry up. I need it urgently."

"What is it for?"

"Rescue."

Two hours later, the translation was sent over there.Most of them are the same as what Tao Qiu described.But Tao Qiu didn't tell him all.There are at least two ways to resolve the time of the crickets.

One method is to enter the space of another beast called "Giant Void" with a time weapon to counteract the influence of the crickets.

If it is said that the time of crickets is only one spring and one autumn, the time of "Juxu" can be said to be the same life of heaven and earth.But obviously this way is not going to work.This kind of beast belongs to the ancient mythical beast, and the introduction to him in the book is only a few sentences, and there is no map.It is impossible for Gu Yan to find this kind of divine beast that only exists in legends in such a short period of time.

And another way...

It is feasible.

Just at the cost of another person's life time.

Cicadas look like cicadas and have similar habits.It loves high temperature and has phototaxis at night.Although the body synchronized by the cricket's time can only float up and down in its short time, and use its own body functions to survive the crisis.But in the final stage, when the power of the cricket gradually fades, the synchronized body gradually becomes colder, and the remaining life of the cricket will, under certain conditions, transfer to another high-temperature body, that is to say, the power of the cricket will get scattered.

And the other excessive body will be synchronized to the body time of the cricket at the same time.

The risk of this approach is that if the power of the cricket does not come to an end, it is very likely that its time will bring both bodies to an end at the same time.

But the risk is worth taking.

Tao Qiu curled up on the bed. Although his appearance and organs were nearly exhausted, his sleeping position was very peaceful, without the slightest anxiety or fear. However, Gu Yan's heart was full of imagination that if tomorrow morning, this person would not exist. bring pain.

If he could trade his own life for Tao Qiu's survival, he would be extremely willing.

Gu Yan took off all of Tao Qiu's clothes, and lay naked, then straightened his hands and feet, and spread his hands and feet on his back on the bed.

On the huge bed, Tao Qiu floated on it like a weak fallen leaf.

There are five elements root spread beside the bed.Silver needles are big and small, long and short.One end is sharp and shiny, and the other is flat and wrapped with a very thin cord.

Depending on the needle, the color of the string will vary.

He has seen Tao Qiu pinch it on the tip of his index finger and thumb many times and pierce it into the body of the beast, or hold them between his fingers as a weapon, and swing out with a fist, like the sharp claws of an animal.

Gu Yan picked up a needle, gently lifted Tao Qiu's soft hair with one hand, and pulled it out on both sides, exposing a spot of white scalp on top of his head.

Gu Yan's heart became cruel, and the needle suddenly pierced in.Almost no resistance could be felt, the moment the Five Elements Needle entered, it was like a ray of extremely strong light, instantly buried in Tao Qiu's hair.

At the same time, half of the tapir's body loomed indistinctly.A pair of dark eyes peeped at Gu Yan.Gu Yan stretched out his hand to touch it, and Tapir rubbed his hand and lay down next to Tao Qiu's hair.

Gu Yan touched it again, and said softly, "You are Momo. I've seen you before."

He had seen this thing come out of Tao Qiu's body twice.He had heard Tao Qiu call him Momo.

With Tapir's company, Gu Yan doesn't seem so lonely anymore.

Gu Yan used the five-element needle to seal the Yongquan point on the bottom of Tao Qiu's feet, the palm of his hand and the tiger's mouth respectively.

Everything was ready, he pinched Tao Qiu's cheeks with one hand, and pinched his mouth open, revealing fine white teeth and pink tongue.

Gu Yan smiled silently, and lowered his head to kiss his lips.How and when the time of the cricket is transferred is not clearly stated in the Atlas of Beasts.

At this time, Gu Yan was only concerned about Tao Qiu's cold lips.He only needs to keep his tongue open with Tao Qiu, so that the time of the crickets can be synchronized with himself, and share Tao Qiu's physical burden.

The process is not very clear, and the result still needs to be verified. Gu Yan just rolled his tongue and kissed Tao Qiu leisurely.

Tao Qiu still murmured in his drowsiness, as if resisting his visit, but there was nothing he could do.Gu Yan just sucked his tongue in his mouth, sucking gently and heavily.I was a little happy and a little sad.

And imagined for a while, if neither of them woke up, Tao Qiu would not be able to understand his own mind, nor would he remember the closeness and tenderness he had with him.

Gu Yan felt an unspeakable sense of loss and sadness in his heart.

He was tossing and turning to taste the food in his mouth bit by bit, but gradually his body cooled down bit by bit. An invisible force, like a huge wave of nothingness, hit him and his whole body was shaken. Aftertaste any feeling, the whole body is as frozen.

At this time, he felt that the cold Tao Qiu's tongue was hot and scalding, and he was like a piece of ice that was about to melt, and was emitting hot smoke.

Empress Tao's body was also very hot, and Gu Yan was beginning to be unable to maintain this posture, like a moth about to be swallowed by flames.

Then, he began to hallucinate.Illusions are both concrete and void.It's like a movie curtain that was turned over in the wilderness, but was blown to pieces by the night wind.

It seems perfectly clear, but everything is distorted.

He seems to see a lake, a person like him, wandering back and forth by the lake all day long, facing the sun that never rises and never sets.

Then the curtain started to smoke and burn.He himself became a member of the movie, a paper man with fireworks all over his body.

He began to be out of breath, stretched out his hand to pinch his own neck, but it was still difficult to breathe, he groaned in pain, like a puppet with a broken thread, slipped down from Tao Qiu, curled up into a ball.

When Gu Yan woke up, it was pitch black all around.It's cold underneath.He seemed to hear the sound of water, beeping, falling from a high place, and it also felt cold.

He seems to have been lying in this place for a long time.The whole body was stiff and cold.He remembered where he was and what he had done the moment before.

But now, he seemed to appear on the curtain of that movie.

He moved his hand vigorously, and his fingertips touched a warm body. His hand was held, and at the same time, a voice said softly, "Why did you end up here?"

A spark of fire burst out, and while the fire was shaking, Tao Qiu's gentle eyes fell on his face.

He fixedly looked at Tao Qiu.

Whether he lives or dies, sinks or perishes, it doesn't matter to him anymore.
