[Toho Ninrui] Walk with you

Chapter 8

"If...you die...I..." How can I explain to Ling Yang...

Shinobu Ito seemed to whisper something in his ear, but it was blown away by the fierce cold wind as soon as he uttered it.Qu Xirui really wanted to ask, but now is really not the time to do this——

Because something is wrong... very wrong!They've been down for too long!Although the earth formation's depression is deep, it has a bottom, and this one is like a too real nightmare... Wait, nightmare? !

Some fragments suddenly flashed across his mind, and Qu Xirui choked for breath—it turns out...he made a mistake from the very beginning!This is not a soil formation at all!So……

Qu Xirui struggled to find something from his sleeve, held his breath and stabbed back fiercely...

At the moment when consciousness returned, Shinobu Ito did not open his eyes immediately but carefully controlled his breathing to pretend to be in a coma, and then mobilized all available senses to perceive everything around him——

He was lying on solid ground, and the surroundings were very quiet, only the sound of a person's thin breathing, the sound of firewood burning, and the occasional sound of flapping wings...

Flapping wings?Shinobu Ito slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly met a pair of round golden eyes.

He suddenly leaned back to distance himself from it, and quickly picked up his favorite knife with his right hand to put on a defensive posture.Although General Ito didn't let out a scream out of composure, his heart was really stimulated, beating non-stop.

"Pa, pa." The creature in front of it patted its wide and strong wings again, and then bounced back to its master.

"..." Shinobu Ito saw that the culprit who frightened him was a beautiful eagle with white feathers and a heroic gaze.

...It's the messenger who travels between the Ssangyong Barracks and the Alien Hall...Dong Qing, I didn't expect it to follow...

"Wake up, how do you feel?" The young healer caressed his pet's feathers, and cast a concerned look: "This phantom array has aroused the residual poison in your body, plus the previous physical exhaustion, wound cracking and fright, you have already Been in a coma for nearly 4 hours."

"...It's okay." Responding coldly, Shinobu Ito turned his eyes away from the handsome face that was warmed by the swaying firelight.

It was already dark, and it seemed that he had really been in a coma for a long time.

"Hey, are you not at all curious about your current situation?"

"..." The deep and unwavering black eyes calmly swept across the slightly teasing and relaxed face, and then stopped suggestively on the ... slender strip that was inserted deep into the ground beside the campfire.

"No matter how silent you are, you won't be golden." The blue-eyed doctor looked disgusted: "Let me start from the beginning, we... don't know when we fell into the illusion."

Shinobu Ito's eyes flashed, as if he remembered something.

"So the knots we see and the pits we're falling into are all hallucinations."

"..." Ito Shinobi pushed the branches, and the fire burned more vigorously, which dissipated the cold air around him.

"The basic composition of the phantom formation is also the five elements, and that subsidence is a kind of earth formation, so it can be cracked with wood...Although it's just a pair of chopsticks..." Qu Xirui shrugged—even if weak wood can't overcome the soil, real objects No matter how weak it is, it is stronger than hallucinations.

"..." Shinobu Ito continued to fiddle with the fire silently, completely ignoring why the genius doctor carried a pair of chopsticks with him when he went out...

"It's uncomfortable to be too real, isn't it?" As if sure that Ito Shinobu would not look at him, the blue-eyed doctor let a bit of bitterness creep up on the corner of his mouth, while teasing in a brisk tone: "Why, Ito The general is scared? Even though we are in the phantom array, we are still walking." Slowly tightening the skirt, the blue eyes gradually lost focus, as if seeing the past through the flickering flames: "The scene seems real, but it's an illusion. It's either true or false, but the formation is still there. You never know, if you step on it, it will touch the formation and what kind of formation it will touch..."

Suddenly, Dongqing, who had been quietly standing aside, stretched out its huge and powerful wings and patted it, stirring up the dust and dead leaves all over the ground.Qu Xirui was slightly startled, and came back from the memory, but saw the beautiful white eagle swaying to his arm, rubbed it, and closed its eyes to take a nap peacefully, as if it hadn't done anything just now.

The young doctor was stunned for a while before he suddenly understood.

"Ah……"

An uncontrollable chuckle overflowed, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.The bright smile gradually expanded, and a warm feeling gushed out from his chest, turning into a happy and gentle smile that spread over the corners of his eyes and brows, dispelling the haze of the past.Full of love and gratitude, it finally turned into a soft caress on the smooth feathers.

"Dongqing, thank you."

With beautiful blue eyes full of gentleness, and the slightly raised corners of the mouth, under the light of the fire, Qu Xirui seemed to exude an irresistible light.

I have never seen his expression like this after being together day and night for more than a month... Shinobu Ito grimaced, and finally let go of the fire and caressed the exquisite patterns on the scabbard.
