clock trap

White snow was floating on the blue night sky, falling down one after another, turning into ice water by the brim of Yu Sen's hat.

He was led by Si Xuanyang with one hand, and the other hand was holding the white skirt, and the lace-up leather shoes did not wear socks. After running for a while, the delicate flesh of his heel was painfully worn, especially in such a world of ice and snow. And the cold air seemed to get worse and worse, as if it could penetrate into the bone marrow, tortured him so much that he gasped.

The street scenes on both sides quickly passed by with their steps, pumpkin lanterns, skulls, colorful lights, sequins... Finally, only strange bright lines remained in the afterglow.

The parades they met along the road were more than they imagined, and they frequently appeared on every street. Sometimes, as soon as they turned a corner, they would encounter one or two evil spirits who came out of the house and were about to join the procession. It looks miserable, and it is a good scare player wherever it is placed.

The adrenaline soared all the way, and it never came down.

Yu Sen was dizzy and had no time to speak. He was dragged forward mechanically by Si Xuanyang, his bones were sore from the cold.

He gritted his back molars and tried hard to hold on, even feeling a little bloody smell coming out of his throat.

The more you run towards the central fountain square, the denser the parade on the street will be. After passing one team at first, it will take a while before you meet another group of ghosts. The ghoul that people are celebrating.

When Si Nan didn't pay attention, he bumped into an evil ghost covered in rotten flesh. The golden light on his body shone, and the protective cover rushed out, breaking the other's neck. His head fell to the ground and rolled around. He stared at Si Nan resentfully.

Although the head was picked up and reinstalled as if nothing had happened, Si Nan was still so frightened that his face was as white as a sheet of paper, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he shot lightning-like cleverness. are highly concentrated.

The surrounding wind was getting louder and louder, and the snow was falling all over the sky, and there was a tendency to turn into a blizzard, and ice slag roared into the clothes.

Yu Sen shook his head and gasped for breath, and was blinded by the wind and snow without paying attention. The leather shoes under his feet kicked down the uneven places on the road, and the heartbreaking pain came from his toes, and his body jumped forward unexpectedly.

His right hand was tightly grabbed, and Si Xuanyang pulled him into his arms.

"Can't hold it anymore?" Si Xuanyang quickly kissed his cold side face, bent down to hug his knee, "I'll hug you."

Yu Sen held him back, coughing hastily: "Cough cough cough—! Stop hugging, carry it, it should be easier to carry cough cough cough..."

Si Xuanyang squeezed his ice-like hand hard, and hugged him horizontally: "It's not far away, I can't see you behind my back, don't worry, I'm always afraid that something will play tricks behind you and hurt you." you."

Yu Sen hugged Si Xuanyang's neck tightly, leaned against his shoulder with difficulty breathing, and chuckled weakly: "This is persecution paranoia, cough cough cough——!"

"If you care about it, you will be chaotic." Si Xuanyang quickened his pace, but held him firmly in his arms, "Don't talk, you should control your breathing first, and don't suck in too much cold air."

The body of the person in his arms was cold and soft, a large piece of dark red blood leaked from the gauze around his neck, and he was panting like he was about to die.

A deep pain flashed in Si Xuanyang's eyes, and he shouted at Si Nan and the others: "The snow is getting heavier and heavier, we have to speed up, can you keep up?"

"Yes, don't worry!" Si Nan nodded firmly at him.

After they ran on the street for this period of time, the current environment has changed from a Halloween parade of hundreds of ghosts to a snowstorm disaster, and this kind of weather has no effect on the evil spirits at all.

His eyes were sore from the blowing. Under the dim light and the randomly flying snowflakes, it was difficult to see the scene a few meters away, and he often bumped into the demons parading after a few steps.

Fortunately, they all have golden protective shields on them, so the evil spirits can't do anything to them. Otherwise, depending on the number of these things and the environment, even Si Xuanyang can't guarantee that they can take all four of them to their destination safely.

As for those without golden protection, he guessed, they should have to stay in this ghost town.

......

It is obviously such a cold weather, if there is a lake, it will definitely freeze, but there is an inexplicable sound of running water in front, rushing, hidden in the whistling snowstorm, listening to Si Xuanyang and the others' ears, Just like Xianle.

He tilted his head and stuck a note on Yu Sen's lips: "We are here, baby."

The latter was in a state where his brain was going to be blown, and he closed his eyes and coughed lowly: "...Cough! I'm going to be blown dry."

"I'll take you to eat something good right away, and you'll be warm after eating."

Passing through the snowstorm like a knife, a fountain with crystal water in the center of the square suddenly burst into view. The pool area is very large. It is much larger than a basketball court to the naked eye. The water column has five layers and sprays seven or eight meters high. , The falling water vapor does not have that icy cold feeling.

And after entering this square area, there are no ghosts anymore.

The square was empty, except for the fountain, there was only a towering multi-layered velvet cake on the round platform next to it.

There is a small sign not far away, which reads: Baptism of the soul, cleansing of filth.

There are also the words 'Happy Halloween' underneath.

There were many clean white china plates on the round platform, and there were also a few small cake pieces, the cakes in which were half-eaten, and the plates were hastily left here.

It seemed that some people had run to this place before them, and had managed to eat the cake and leave.

Si Xuanyang weighed Yu Sen in his arms, smiled and whispered in his ear: "See you in this world, Your Highness the Princess."

Yu Sen hooked the corner of his mouth softly: "When I open my eyes, remember to give me a good morning kiss."

"Before I kiss you good morning, I have to call you a doctor..." Si Xuanyang shook his head helplessly.

Yu Sen was gently put down by him, and the moment he stepped on the soles of the leather shoes and touched the ground, his body trembled involuntarily due to the pain, and was held tightly by Si Xuanyang.

Leaning in Si Xuanyang's arms, he squinted at the velvet cake being fed in front of him, and bit into his stomach.

......

The sound of the wind subsided in his ears, and Yu Sen felt as if he was being sucked into a vortex torrent, and his body was floating in it uncontrollably.

He opened his eyes, and suddenly saw the ferocious zombies retreating in the torrent and the building of the Wanwu Changsheng Technology Company. Immediately after, what broke into his eyes was the solemn and solemn Huai'an Ancient City and the daughter of a salt merchant wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei. I saw Lance's handsome pale face and the gloomy old castle where his blood flowed, I saw the thundering applause of the theater and the twin sisters fighting each other under the spotlight, I saw the pirate ship floating in the ocean and the cruel and treacherous siren ...Finally, there is a Halloween town where wind and snow intertwine with warm light, smiles and ghosts intertwine.

Scenes and scenes were replayed in front of him like a revolving lantern, those underground passages where they slept together, and the graves of thousands of people they saw together seemed to be right in front of him.

Yu Sen watched silently. In his eyes, these scenes seemed to have been pressed the back button, and gradually disappeared into the passage with the torrent.

He tried to turn his body around, turned his back to the vortex, a bright light flashed, and his consciousness suddenly sank into the darkness.

......

"Bangdang-!"

"what--!"

Something exploded in his ears, and Yu Sen woke up suddenly.

The sunlight coming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows penetrated the thin gauze curtains and gently shone on his face, and the surroundings were quiet and peaceful.

He squinted his eyes, and suddenly his body was hugged by the person beside him: "I'm back."

"Well, I'm back," he reacted for a while, and slowly leaned his head on Si Xuanyang's shoulder, his head was still a little dazed, "I didn't feel dizzy, I haven't woken up with you for a long time, I'm still not used to it this time gone."

"That's right!" Si Xuanyang quickly let go of him, grabbed the specially set call bell at the head of the bed and pressed it, and nervously touched Yu Sen's neck.

"What's wrong with you? Does your neck hurt? Are you dizzy? The doctor is coming soon, don't be afraid."

"Tsk!" Yu Sen held his hand, rolled his eyes thoughtfully, "Don't be nervous, to be honest, I feel a little different this time..."

"What's different?" Si Xuanyang touched Yu Sen's delicate and porcelain-white neck, and felt relieved when he didn't find any scars.

"I don't feel any pain anywhere in my body! My head is a little dizzy, but it's the normal dizziness of just waking up before, not the energy-consuming kind...I suspect that my body is completely healed." Yu Sen said.

Si Xuanyang sat up abruptly: "Really? Good thing!"

When the call bell was ringing early in the morning, the 24-hour on-call doctors quickly knocked on the door and entered the room, all of them with tense faces ready to rescue people at any time.

But with the further inspection of Yu Sen's body, some bewildered, confused, and shocked emotions slowly appeared on their faces.

"Ahem... Mr. Yu's body, for the time being... there is nothing wrong with it, it's very, very healthy..."

The attending doctor himself couldn't believe it. The sickness that lingered on the patient's face yesterday was gone at the moment. The key is that after the examination, the patient's lungs, trachea, and even the stomach did not have any major problems. It is also possible to say that this is a very healthy body.

"Really?" Regarding Yu Sen's health, Si Xuanyang was still a little uneasy.

"Uh..." The doctor didn't dare to say absolutely for a while, "I suggest that you should find time to go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up. Although Er Shao has all the equipment here, it is mainly for first aid and medical treatment. It is better to check the equipment again."

"Okay, I'll take him there." Si Xuanyang nodded.

"By the way, did someone yell outside just now?" Yu Sen rubbed his neck and asked Si Xuanyang: "Just before I woke up, did you hear that?"

Si Xuanyang froze for a moment, frowned and recalled: "It seems there is."

"It's the clock in your living room." The doctor was about to open the door to go out, when he heard them talking, he turned his head and said, "When we came up, we saw the antique clock in the living room shattered all over the floor, which seemed to frighten Aunt Zhang and the others. I'm afraid you will blame me, and I don't know how to deal with it right now."

"It's finally broken! Let's go down and have a look."

Yu Sen took Si Xuanyang to the first floor, and saw that the bottle clock that was originally hanging on the wall had fallen to the ground in pieces at this moment. It became scum and splashed all over the ground.

Aunt Zhang greeted her with a panicked expression: "This clock..."

"It's okay, Aunt Zhang, this clock is going to break in a few days, we know, don't worry about it." Si Xuanyang nodded reassuringly at her.

"That's good, that's good... It's really strange that this good thing suddenly fell down..."

Yu Sen raised his foot and was about to approach, but was stopped by Si Xuanyang: "Be careful with those glasses."

"There's a note over there." Yu Sen saw it with sharp eyes and raised his finger.

"I'll get it, you stand here and don't move."

In the middle of the clock's 'corpse', there was a piece of paper similar to their mission paper. Si Xuanyang kicked away the broken glass on the ground, picked up the paper carefully, and wrote words on it.

——'Wish: Stay away from disasters for the rest of your life, be safe and successful'

"...Tch, what is this? Did it impose a permanent safety buff on us? Or is it just empty talk?" Si Xuanyang sneered, and handed the note to Yu Sen.

"It's better to talk than nothing, just come back with your life." Yu Sen waved the note and smiled nonchalantly.

The winter sun outside the house is just right, the house is as warm as spring, the aroma of food wafts from the kitchen, and the body is wearing close-fitting pajamas with a familiar touch.

The phone rang, it was Si Nan's call.

Si Xuanyang didn't answer, walked in front of Yu Sen, pinched his chin, like the first snowflake falling outside the window, and dropped a kiss like a dragonfly on his pale pink lips, curling up the corners of his mouth.

--"Good morning."
