Under the ruins of the library, two people are still buried.

They were waiting for rescue in a narrow space where they couldn't see their fingers.

"Abi?" Gao Pei glanced around, but still didn't see Abi.

"Your Highness, I am..." Abi's voice came slowly from above.

"Let's chat for a while?" Gao Pei felt relieved after hearing this. There was nothing more beautiful than her voice at this moment.

"Well, okay."

"It seems that since you have been with me for so long, I have never asked you about what happened before you entered the palace. In my impression, you are like an angel who fell into the mortal world and suddenly appeared in front of me. I know nothing about you. Knowledge, including your family, your childhood, and your past.”

"When I was four years old, my parents put me in foster care with my uncle in order to escape debt. Within two years, my uncle died of illness. My aunt didn't want to be a widow, so she abandoned me and went with a man from a neighboring village...

"That year, the whole village was infected by a strange plague and everyone died. Only I survived...

"It was also at that time that people from the Palace Guards came to investigate and found me, and took me back to be trained, so I was later arranged to be His Highness's bodyguard...

"These experiences are all written in my file. His Highness read it when he accepted me..."

"Ahem, only by listening to your own words can I truly feel that you are a flesh-and-blood person. To be honest, if I were in your place and encountered such an experience, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive it. From this point of view, you are better than I am much stronger and can bear all disasters and misfortunes on my own."

Gao Pei's mouth was chattering non-stop, and he kept looking for topics to chat with Abi, like a single man who deliberately struck up a conversation with a girl.

"Your Highness, I have been having a few questions in my heart...can you answer me?"

"Well, no matter what you ask, I will answer you. If you ask how many stars there are in the sky, I will say, countless."

Abi chuckled softly at Gopei's cold joke.

"Does Abi look a bit like sister Zhilan?"

"Uh-sure."

"Is it because of this that Your Highness takes me as a bodyguard?"

Gao Pei fell into silence and remained silent for a long time.

"Actually, even if His Highness doesn't tell you, I know that I am the replacement for Sister Zhilan. Your Highness still likes Sister Zhilan, but he just doesn't want to say it out loud..."

"Abi, that's all over."

"Yes... sometimes... I really envy Sister Zhilan... for being able to stay with you for such a long time..." Abi's voice became weaker and weaker, even disappearing into the silence.

"Abby?"

"Abby!"

"Abi, wake up, you can't sleep. If you hold on a little longer, someone will come to save us soon."

Gao Pei kept encouraging Abi, fearing that the latter would not wake up.

In a desperate situation, if you want to survive, you must stay awake, otherwise it is easy to miss the opportunity to escape.

But what he feared most finally happened. He originally guessed that Abi might have been seriously injured, otherwise he would not be so weak.

"Help!!! Someone come and save us!!!" In order to survive, Gao Pei put aside his noble status and shouted to the outside world at the top of his voice.

He wanted to break free, but there was a huge boulder pressing on him, and he couldn't move at all.

I shouted several times, but still no response.

Anxiety and loss gradually make him lose his mind,

Until he shouted until his throat broke and he coughed up blood.

"Abi, hold on! Wait until I find you!" Gao Pei frantically tore at his suppressed arms.

His face looked ferocious, as if his skin and flesh were being torn apart in severe pain.

There was a crisp "click" sound, and Gao Pei realized that his arm was broken.

But because of this, he was finally able to free his hands.

He gritted his teeth, crossed his shoulders with his hands, and straightened his broken arms.

At this moment, his face was covered with big beads of sweat, and his lips were white. If he didn't hold on even a little bit, he would fall into coma.

Gao Pei groped for his pocket with difficulty, and suddenly his fingertips touched a bead with a smooth surface.

The beads always maintain a constant temperature, just like the temperature of the human body. If you look closely, you can see the golden light lingering inside.

That’s it, Yuezhu!

Gao Pei clearly remembered that it was a coming-of-age gift from his father.

According to legend, the moon bead is the body and soul of the mountain god. It has absorbed the essence of the sun and moon for thousands of years to form more than a hundred beads. The moon bead contains the divine water that can bring the dead back to life. Gao Pei carried it with him to save his life in times of crisis.

At this time, he didn't care how rare and precious it was, and hit the moon bead on the ground. Suddenly, the moon bead emits warm fluorescence.

The brightness is slightly less than that of fluorescent stone, but you can still see things around you clearly.

He raised the moon bead and searched for Abi's body.

A wisp of red ribbon exposed from the gap in the stone above his head caught his attention.

It was Abi's sky-blue belt, but it was stained red with blood.

He carefully moved the cracked stone above his head, and there was actually a space above it.

Gao Pei dragged his aching body and slowly sat up, holding the moon bead in his hand, and stretched his head into the dark space.

But what happened next was so shocking that he almost lost his grip on the Moon Pearl.

The falling iron from the building pierced Abi's abdomen, and a large amount of blood stained the stone slab beneath her red.

Only then did Gao Pei realize that when the roof collapsed, Abi desperately lifted a stone slab to block him.

to form a trapezoidal protective barrier.

Seeing Abi falling into a coma and his face extremely pale due to excessive blood loss, Gao Pei's nose became sore and he almost cried.

Although he knew that the bounden duty of a guard was to protect his master to the death. But the human heart is not made of stone, and it will also hurt. Especially when he saw the sacrifice of important people around him with his own eyes, the unspeakable self-blame once again deeply hurt his soul.

.

"I secretly like a woman. She has been following me for eight years, and we have been together day and night for eight years. It would be fake to have no feelings, but I dare not confess to her, because I know that what she really likes is another person. Many times I have

I was asking myself why I didn't dare to express my feelings. In fact, in the final analysis, I was still afraid of failure. It wasn't until she died that I really faced my own weakness for the first time.

"Abi, I don't want a tragic fate to happen to you. Because you are neither anyone's shadow nor anyone's substitute. You are you!" Gao Pei gently touched Abi's face and said with a trembling voice.

Different from usual, his eyes were full of tenderness and love.

The next moment, he crushed the moon bead with one hand, causing the divine water to flow into Abi's mouth.

After doing this, Gao Pei's spirit could no longer be suppressed and he relaxed instantly.

My eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and I couldn't open them no matter what.

Pain, touch, vision, hearing, and smell all seemed to have been shut off, and all sensations disappeared at the same time.

"You must live..." Gao Pei was still muttering in a low voice before he fell unconscious.

It's like praying to heaven, and also like pleading.

At this time, a fierce battle was taking place on the ruins.

Hua Tingyue listened to Sashmi's words and not only exposed her position, but also went to the appointment head-on.

But Sassimi did not fulfill her promise. Instead, she extended her tentacles to block the exit of the square, making it impossible for people outside to get in and people inside unable to get out.

Hua Tingyue, who was in deep trouble, had no choice but to fight to the death with Sassimi.

Hua Tingyue wandered around the ruins, using the bunker to hide her figure, waiting for an opportunity to attack Sassimi and cut off Sassimi's tentacles.

Bai Sihong was used to the extreme by Hua Tingyue. She constantly changed her various forms according to the fighting situation, and firmly grasped every opportunity to attack and defend. Even when her life was hanging by a thread, she still kept a calm mind and did not make any mistakes.

Made an error once.

He is worthy of being a famous combat expert in the Order of Heaven, and his accumulated combat experience is far beyond what ordinary people can match.

In a short period of time, Sassimi was unable to cause much damage to Hua Tingyue by virtue of her size advantage.

This made him more and more irritable, his eyes glowing red, and his mouth kept roaring, like a dynamite barrel that could explode at any time.

On the contrary, Hua Tingyue became more relaxed as she fought, maintaining her rhythm unhurriedly and not putting herself in a desperate situation just for the sake of harm.

Because she knew very well that a large part of the reason why Qiu was so powerful was because he absorbed the power of the bright moon. As soon as the sky dawned, Qiu's strength would be greatly reduced. By then, killing them would be the same as killing a chicken.

At this time, it was only an hour before dawn. If it dragged on, her advantage would become bigger and bigger.

"Hide and hide! Can't hit! Can't hit! I'm so angry!!!" Sassimi's emotions were completely detonated, and in his rage, veins gradually popped out of his head.

Roaring sounds continued to be heard from under the ruins, and a head as big as a mountain, supported by powerful tentacles, rose from the ground and rose into the sky dozens of meters high.

It's like an evil god looking down at all living beings.

"I want to eat you!" Sassimi slowly opened her mouth, which was even bigger than half her face.

The densely packed sharp teeth in the mouth make one's scalp numb.

With one ejection, Sassimi's head hit the ground like a cannonball. Countless rubble and corpses were swallowed into Sassimi's mouth and minced into pieces.
