The Star Knight - 118. Chapter One Hundred and Eighteen

A barren rusty star appeared in front of him, mountains of shipwrecks, old entertainment taverns, all kinds of adventurers and strange creatures occupy the streets, a child holding his knees crying in the alley, was Several other adults bullied for fun, which was an illusion before death.
Opal fell into the fast spiritual world, and released the conviction field of the stars with both hands. In a short time, the rusty iron star changed its appearance, and the red waves one after another, they gradually faded in the rotation of the stars, showing the coldness of the night sky desert.
Standing with bare feet in the middle of the desert, Xun Guang looked at the sky blankly. He grew up in his childhood, and then became a naked young man.
“Am I dead?” Xun asked in surprise.
“No, not yet.” Opal’s spirit merged with the sky: “Stay there, don’t move.”
Xun said: “What’s going on? I clearly remember that I’m dying!”
Before he finished his words, Xun suddenly realized something and frowned, “Are you the god of death?”
Opal: “…”
“You say yes.” Opal said: “Uh… stay here first, don’t talk, no, let’s talk. Say something, don’t go away.”
“This is the world after death?” Xun was completely confused.
Opal suddenly remembered that Reckett and Cololin once ignited the fire of his faith, and their spirits were in a closed space. Is he igniting the seeds of faith deep in Xun’s heart? !
This is too ridiculous… Opal faced such a situation for the first time in his life, but how to ignite Xun’s fire of faith? He tried to say to Xun: “Yes, I am an omniscient god, I know your father Azeroth…”
Xun Deng showed an alert look at the time, and Opal felt his strong rejection for a moment, as if to drive the spirit of Opal out of his conscious world.
“You must go back.” Opal changed his tone and whispered: “You still have your mission unfinished.”
Xun said: “I don’t want to do it anymore. I’m too tired. Let me die.”
Opal had a headache again, and he cursed at Xun simply: “You still owe me two lives! Do you want to die like this?!”
Xun was not afraid of the slightest, and cursed back: “Who are you! When did I owe you two lives! Am I dead now?! What else do you want?”
Opal: “Sid is still waiting for you to go back.”
Xun: “Fart! He doesn’t love me anymore!”
Opal asked: “What happened between you?”
Quickly and vigilantly said: “Aren’t you a god? An omniscient god, would you not know what happened between us?”
Opal: “Do you want to go back alive?”
Xun: “I don’t want to.”
Opal: “…”
Opal said: “I give you the strength to let you go back and do the unfinished things, this time you will definitely be able to do it.”
Xun said, “I don’t make a deal with the devil.”
Opal said irritably: “Save you! Then I really don’t care about you!”
Xun: “Who are you anyway?!”
Opal said: “I…”
Opal is really a mess. I don’t know where to start with a thousand words. At this moment, I suddenly thought of something and said, “Do you remember someone brought you a letter?”
fast:”!!!”
Opal: “Four years ago, someone sent you a newsletter telling you that the wrench was controlled by Cololin…”
Xun said: “Are you that person?!”
Opal immediately said: “Yes! I am!”
Quickly said: “I’ve been looking for you for a long time! The wrench was hypnotized by Cololin, but he has always denied it… Rosen made a detailed investigation. Back then, Cololin used the password to enter the Meteorite Building. …”
Opal said: “Yes, yes, you have to go back and solve him.”
Xun said: “Who are you from Cororin?”
Opal said: “I’m his, uh…enemy, uh, that’s it, he has a twin brother, no, younger brother, is trying to stop him.”
Xun asked again: “But Wrench is acting very strange now. Neither Rosen nor Ulka understand him. It stands to reason that he should sell the entire Fiery Star to Iszul, but in fact he did not do so. It’s with the Empire…Where are you? Can I meet? I have too many questions for you.”
Opal: “No, no… we don’t have any spare time… listen to me, let go of your soul, I will try to strengthen your faith.”
Xun: “The power of faith? What is that?”
Opal said: “I’ll tell you later, if you want to know more insider… First release your spirit and don’t resist me.”
Opal recalled the first soul meeting between him and Reckett, as well as the bloody eyes of Kolorin suspended in the sky, trying to fully integrate his soul into Xun’s world of thought.
Standing lonely in the middle of the desert under the night, the opal turned into a hazy light and turned around him, saying: “I hear your soul crying.”
Xun said: “It’s your shit, hurry up, what on earth are you going to do?”
Opal said: “You can’t resist me so much, I’m here to help you!”
Xun said helplessly: “Well, I just remembered something from a long time ago.”
Opal remembered the scene when he saw Xun’s replay before his death. He stretched out his hand, gently pressed Xun’s head, and quivered slightly, saying, “Am I dead now?”
Opal said: “No.”
In fact, he didn’t know whether Xun was dead or alive in his current state. He stretched out another hand and put it on Xun’s shoulder.
“It’s strange.” Xun said, “Why do I… seem to know you.”
Opal said: “We knew each other.”
Xun said: “And still… a very good friend, what’s your name?”
Opal didn’t answer. He put his hands together and put his arms around Xun’s soul. For a moment he felt that Xun’s consciousness was full of loneliness, coldness and pain, like an endless night desert, but the surroundings instantly lit up and the sun dissipated. The entire night sky seemed to disintegrate Opal’s star curtain beliefs.
Opal felt very uncomfortable. He had to step back a little. He understood what Ledgerson said-when igniting the beliefs of others, the power of his beliefs will be burned as a part of the price. At this moment, he only feels his own The spiritual world quickly collapsed in the scorching sun and desert. He wanted to leave here several times, but he was afraid that he would see Xun’s body in the real world after leaving, so he had to hold on.
However, at this moment, the two woke up at the same time.
When Opal opened his eyes, he suddenly realized that the surrounding environment had changed. The earth shook and the sky was filled with blood-red flames—Is it an illusion? ! No, it’s not!
Xun was sweating profusely, lying on the ground and couldn’t help twitching, and his lost eyes looked at the burning indigo sky. It was night in the desert, and by the last glimmer of light before dusk, the sky was dyed dark red. A large battleship broke through the night of the Sphinx, unleashing countless artillery fire and shooting frantically on the ground.
It’s war!
Opal looked up blankly and looked at the battleship on the zenith. It was the interstellar cruiser of the Imperial Army. The ground released a defensive aircraft to rush towards the sky. An anti-aircraft fort appeared under the desert on the distant horizon. Furiously fighting!
An incendiary bomb flew to a village not far away, setting off a thunderous explosion!
“Raymond!” Opal moved Xun and Yinlan into the cave, and pressed his hand, the force of faith drove the huge stone to seal the hole, turned and ran to the village to find Raymond.
Raymond ran up with the treatment machine and shouted, “War is on!”
Opal said: “What’s the matter?! So many spaceships just to chase you alone?! Exaggerated!”
Raymond said: “Don’t be kidding! It’s an armed conflict between the Empire and the Sphinx!”
Opal went to meet Raymond. Suddenly, he saw a ground fuel truck overturned by gunfire in the distance. It whirled and flew towards the two of them. Raymond turned around and pushed Opal with both hands and the truck hovered. In midair, immediately after the oil storage tank on the car flew out, Raymond burst it with a single shot. Opal pulled away with both hands, the front of the car fell slowly, and it landed safely with a muffled noise.
The two went to hug Yin’an and Xun to the car. Raymond started the levitation vehicle. Opal took the medical ray instrument to treat Xun and pierced the blood circulation filter into Xun’s aorta.
Xun’s dark black lips gradually faded, and a little blood was restored. Raymond drove away from the destroyed village. More and more fighters joined the battle group. Opal said, “What is going on?”
Raymond said: “The Sphinx has fought with the Empire, and I found that since I met them, there has been nothing good.”
“Please.” Opal said helplessly: ”
Yinluo groaned from the side. He was not injured quickly, but without the protection of Opal’s faith, he appeared weaker during treatment. The temperature dropped sharply at night, and the sphinx was like an ice hell after the scorching heat of the day dissipated, with gunfire flying everywhere, reflecting the night.
Opal couldn’t hold it, and fell asleep leaning on Raymond’s shoulder.
They drove across the entire desert area and entered the largest oasis belt on the Sphinx Tropic of Cancer. Raymond whispered: “Opal, wake up.”
Opal opened his eyes, and two guards came to check.
“Who?” a woman said.
Raymond gave them the adventurer’s diary, and Opal said: “We are adventurers.”
“Where are the two behind?” Another female soldier said: “They all come from King’s Wharf?”
Raymond nodded, Opal asked: “What happened?”
“The empire is at war with the pirates.” The female soldier said, “Be careful not to get involved.”
Raymond thought thoughtfully: “The empire and the pirates are at war on the territory of the Sphinx?”
The female soldier said: “In fact, it’s just the empire chasing pirates… There is a big man who is seeking temporary asylum from the Sphinx. The queen has her own ideas. Good luck to you and be careful.”
The suspended vehicle passed the checkpoint so easily. Opal jumped onto the seat and looked out through the skylight, saying, “This is the city of quicksand. It is the second largest city in Sphinx.”
It was a chaotic night. The lights were pale and dazzling. Many people came and went, walking on the ground with white air. It was not the first time that Opal and Raymond saw war. They went to the city as soon as they entered the city. The Astronautics Association seeks help.
At this moment, the Da Astronautical Association is full of people, among which tourists accounted for nearly 90%. Only two adventurers with fleece caps drank beer and played cards in the corner with cigarettes in their mouths.
Opal said hello in the past, they are all peers,
“Guys, how is the situation?” Opal said.
“It sucks—” a middle-aged adventurer said slowly: “It’s as bad as Queen Natasha’s mood. Is there any information from the sand palace? I ask for a glass of clear wheat wine.”
Raymond also sat down on the side and said, “No, let’s drink, it’s like being blinded all the way. He also brought two injured friends.”
“Can’t get out.” The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly: “No one can leave, only after the fight is over. For the sake of wine, a temporary spaceship will let you know, but don’t expect too much. It has been completely banned.”
Opal asked: “Why the war?”
“Who knows?” Another one-eyed adventurer shrugged and said, “There is a mess in the association, there is not even a person in charge.”
Raymond informed the guard in detail about the news revealed by the guards when he arrived. The middle-aged man smiled and said, “Natasha is a crazy woman, let me guess, pirate…Is it the pirate king who has been missing for a long time?”
Opal narrowed his eyes slightly, and the middle-aged man rubbed his thumb against his index finger. This is the usual action of adventurers: You pay me an intelligence, I will give you an intelligence, do you want more? Take money to buy.
Opal couldn’t ask a new question for a while, so he nodded, and Raymond said politely: “Thank you, is the rest room above full?”
The one-eyed adventurer showed a thoughtful look, glanced at the outside lobby, and said: “Passengers can’t go up, but you can. We have two beds. We are going to play cards all night and so on…”
Raymond said: “It’s obviously a good deal. With the two of us, there are four beds, each with four hundred credits.”
Both sides swiped cards, Opal rented two beds from the adventurer, and placed Yinlan and Xun. Just as Lei Meng sat down and wanted to say something, Opal went to find water again, and brought a child back by the way and let him sit. In Xun’s bed.
It was the kid who was lost by the tourists, and an adventurer downstairs registered his identity. Promised to help him find his lost relatives. Opal went down and chatted for a while, seeing how unsafe people were, and brought him up.
Raymond touched the child’s head, handed him a can of milk, and said, “How old are you?”
“Twelve years old.” The kid said, “Thank you.”
Raymond said, “Where are your parents?”
The child said: “Quarrel, don’t want me.”
Raymond said: “You sleep with him, his name is Xun.”
The child was very sensible. He got into Xun’s bed and lay with him. The passengers were still clamoring in the hall. Outside it was close to the minus 40 degrees cosmic temperature scale, and there was heavy snow in the sky.
“Opal.” Raymond said: “I want to talk to you.”
Opal is holding one knee, leaning against the window and looking at the night sky, outside is a group of planet guards roaring by.
Raymond looked at him.
Opal knew that their conflict was about to start again, but he couldn’t help it, thinking about how to apologize to Raymond, his eyes showed a questioning look.
Several people in the room were asleep, Raymond went to the corridor, Opal closed the door, and the two stood facing each other.
“I thought you would be very happy with money.” Raymond whispered.
Opal said: “I am very happy. I am proud of you. Really, I was very proud when I said about you to the shepherd. Raymond, if I was a person who would leave my friends and run away, we are now Nor will we be together, after all, we also experienced this during the War of Defending the Fiery Star.”
Raymond stayed quiet for a moment, and said, “I didn’t mean this, but whenever we disagree, I will listen to you in the end. You can’t listen to me once? I also think about our safety!”
Opal said: “I’m sorry, Raymond, I dragged you down, but if the same thing happens again, I think I will still save Yinluo, as long as it is not hiding on an asteroid, whether it is a mercenary or a mercenary Adventurer, no place is safe, even the teacher can’t predict what will happen next moment.”
They looked at each other for a long time, and Opal suddenly read Raymond’s thoughts-he hated himself a bit, hated him, not angry.
Opal said: “You think I’m annoying.”
“Yes.” Raymond wrung his brows full of viciousness. Opal couldn’t help but look in a daze at that moment. Raymond looked very much like that person. He seemed to see a look that was about to kill. He couldn’t even Believing that this demeanor would be Raymond’s, he couldn’t help taking a half step back.
Raymond whispered: “You are not obedient, Opal.”
“We are not married yet.” Opal returned to his senses and said stubbornly: “What did you say before? Let’s talk about love again, I can’t talk about it anymore.”
Raymond said: “Let’s stay apart for a while. Calm down with each other.”
“I agree with this proposal.” Opal replied.
In that short moment, Opal actually wanted to expose Raymond’s lies-he read Raymond’s thoughts under his emotions, and knew that Raymond just wanted him to listen to him. In fact, even Raymond knew he shouldn’t throw Yinlan. However, they are all angry about this matter, as if something has been suppressed in their hearts, accumulating deeper and deeper over the years. Opal troubled Raymond for not understanding him, and Raymond felt that Opal always did not listen to him, a little bit of trivial matters, and finally gradually rose to a matter of principle.
Opal lay on the bed, thinking over and over, recalling their years on the fiery star, he once thought that whatever he did, Raymond would protect him, whether it was risking together or putting life and death away together to fight and live together. Death is like when he discovered that Raymond was a robot, no matter how dangerous it was, he spontaneously tied the fate of two people together.
At that time, he never cared about the consequences, whether the future is alive or dead, as long as he can live the same, or die with the same heroism, he has no regrets. However, they gradually coveted to live, trembling when they were alive because of fear of death and separation. I’m afraid that due to an accident, heaven and man will be separated again… This may also be Opal’s own problem. Raymond had a crisis of his own death and the relationship between the two who had lost it. It was like a timing buried in his heart. bomb……
The atomic furnace glowed red between the two beds.
Raymond came in anyway, closed the door, and cut off the sound of the hall downstairs from the door.
Opal turned his back to Raymond’s bed, and he could hear the sound of removing his boots and taking off his coat. The sound was so familiar, like a part of his life.
After a while, Raymond sat on the opal bed, lay down on his side, and surrounded him from behind.
“You owe me once, and you promised it before the game.” Raymond whispered.
Opal couldn’t help feeling sad when he heard his low voice.
“Come on.” Opal turned his head, his lips almost pressed against Raymond’s.
Raymond didn’t speak, just unbuttoned Opal’s shirt, and touched his big hand into his shirt. The atomic furnace in front of the two of them glowed, warm and comfortable.
Opal’s gasping sound became thicker, and he couldn’t help holding Raymond’s hand and placing it in front of his chest, his heart beating.
“Raymond.”
Opal’s voice came from in the darkness, and he whispered: “Sorry, Raymond, let’s not separate. I was just on impulse.”
“I’m sorry.” Raymond said in Opal’s ear almost in a whispered volume: “I was impulsive, it was angry, Opal. I don’t want to leave you.”
Opal sighed, turned to look at Raymond, and touched his face.
Raymond kissed Opal’s lips earnestly. Their hearts were beating. Raymond felt the Opal very comfortable. Suddenly he had a desire to surrender himself to him, as if it originated from Instinctive reaction.
“You will have the final say in the future.” Raymond said.
Opal thought for a while, and said: “From now on, rock-paper-scissors, whoever wins has the final say.”
Raymond suddenly laughed and said: “If anyone is in danger someday, we are still slowly rock-paper-scissors…”
Opal buried his head on the pillow and laughed.
Raymond smiled: “Turn around.”
He made Opal turn around, and the two held them face to face. Opal heard a cough. The two noticed that the child on the fast bed was not asleep, and opened their eyes to look at them.
“Sleep.” Opal whispered to him: “Go to sleep, tomorrow will be fine.”
The child said: “Did you quarrel just now?”
Raymond made a boo and kissed Opal again.
The child shrank into the quilt, covering his head.
“Don’t do it.” Raymond whispered: “Don’t teach bad kids.”
Opal grumbled. He hadn’t closed his eyes for 72 hours in a row. Raymond never had to sleep. He couldn’t hold it, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep in Raymond’s arms.
In his sleep, he vaguely felt that Raymond was touching him from time to time, and he couldn’t help but hug him tightly. Almost the whole person had to rub into Raymond’s body to become a part of him, and he felt that Raymond was kissing him. Intensely lingering, like being trapped in an illusion that will not sleep, always unable to wake up.
The room is very warm, and the desert kingdom with heavy snow outside the window is like two worlds.
Opal slept well this time, without dreams, but it seemed to vent something, and wiped out the dull mood of the past few days.
When he opened his eyes, he was still a little tired, his crotch was wet for a while, and he suddenly realized one thing-he had nocturnal emission last night.
Opal sat up abruptly, rubbed his collar, and let out a hot breath, still throbbing in his chest.
Xun, Yinlan, and Raymond were not in the room.
Opal got out of bed to change shorts, put on jackets and trousers, looked for cleaning equipment, and found that he had slept for nearly twenty hours.
“Raymond?” Opal looked down from the corridor. There were more passengers in the hall than last night. At the end of the corridor, E7 and Xiao Q were playing with the kid yesterday, while Raymond was sitting at the table with a man. chat.
Opal recognized that figure in almost a second.
“Teacher?” Opal ran downstairs.
Reckett nodded to Opal, and Raymond said: “I don’t see that the old man will be Sauron…”
Recht: “Many people don’t even know who Sauron is. This is just my guess, not necessarily…it’s hard to tell. I have to find a way to meet Natasha.”
Raymond: “She is the queen of Sphinx.”
Reckett said: “Back then, I and her…it was kind of friendship.”
“What happened?” Opal said, “Teacher, why are you here?”
