"Why are you here?"

Eli pressed against Noah's ear tightly, and asked very softly in his ear.Noah leaned against Eli in the same intimate posture, looking at the drip hanging beside his bed and the heartbeat monitor on the table, while thinking about something, he whispered: "I'm worried about you. I followed you all the way, and no one was caught. Discover."

Eli pinched his cheek and said, "Be careful."

Noah nodded, his eyes were red again, and he carefully touched Eli's forehead with his hand from under the quilt: "Still having a fever." As he spoke, he put his palm on Eli's forehead, and after a while, that The heat in the palm of the hand miraculously began to decrease, and soon there was a coolness, and even Noah's whole body became cold like an inanimate thing.Eli touched his waist exposed outside his clothes in surprise, Noah moved uncomfortably, and said rather embarrassedly: "In order to avoid thermal infrared detection, Eli...I'm a little ticklish."

Eli laughed quietly under the covers.

He purposely pinched Noah's waist, and Noah froze, as if he wanted to jump up from the bed, but he was afraid of hurting Eli, so he could only hold on, holding his other hand firmly. He took Eli's hand tightly and looked at him eagerly.Eli laughed and said, "Last night, he was so powerful. He killed a strong dragon as big as a mountain by himself, and scared all the dinosaurs away. Why are you still ticklish?"

Noah looked at the smile on Eli's face, and for some reason, his face slowly turned red.

"Uh, I, this, I don't know either." He said, "Why are humans ticklish?"

Eli didn't know why human beings are ticklish, this question really stumped him, he thought for a while, and said, "Maybe it's because of shyness?"

Noah seemed to believe such nonsensical words. He said "Oh" and nodded in conviction.Eli's mood improved a lot. Noah felt cool and comfortable. He leaned in his direction again and said, "But the matter of your ability is really a bit tricky. Noah, you are not as good as other creatures. Similarly, there must be more unknown genes hidden in the body, but just these current abilities are beyond control, and we have to sort it out."

As if he had been poked into a sore spot, Noah nodded seriously, he paused for a while, and quietly pulled Eli's sleeve: "Actually, I don't know why, when the dragon wanted to break in, I suddenly Know how to kill it. Eli, I don't like this feeling."

Eli stroked the ends of his hair at the nape of his neck.

"Take your time," he said.

Noah inserted his calf between Eli's legs, and leaned sideways to hug the feverish Eli.He seems to like this posture very much, just like he liked to wrap his tail around his ankles when he was a child. Eli felt very at ease, but because of drips, he felt sleepy for a while. Noah imitated the way Eli coaxed him when he was a child. , patted Eli's arm lightly, and hummed a nursery rhyme in a low voice.

Eli wanted to say that it was for coaxing children, but maybe it was because he was so peaceful that he fell asleep after a while.

When he woke up again, Noah on the bed was gone.

He heard the voices of Henry and another man talking from the next bed.After the effect of the anesthetic wore off, his wound began to hurt. He couldn't help but groaned in pain, and reached out to touch the drip tube.

The voice beside him stopped, someone flicked his drip tube, and said beside him: "The medicine is not finished yet, it will take more than half an hour."

Eli opened his eyes, touched Noah's residual heat left by the bed with his hand, and glanced at the empty ceiling before turning his eyes to the speaker.It was a young man, dressed in casual clothes, with a righteous look in his eyes, and Eli knew who he was without opening his mouth.

"Thank you," he said. "Who are you?"

The man showed his ID, which contained a photo of the ID and the title of the police station. Eli nodded slightly at him, and he nodded too, saying, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest at this time, because it has something to do with the dinosaur tide." It is important, so there are some things I want to ask you to understand."

There was no extra expression on Eli's face, and he looked as if he hadn't woken up yet.But the police did not give him time to adjust, and they had already started asking questions.

"Do you remember how you got hurt?"

"I don't know," Eli said, "Suddenly I felt pain all over my body and buzzing in my ears. When I thought I was about to die, these symptoms suddenly disappeared, and this barely saved my life."

"Have you been captured by Siacilong before?"

"Yes."

The policeman smiled and said, "Then you have a predestined relationship with dinosaurs."

Eli didn't know how to answer these words, and didn't speak.Henry on the side said: "Officer, what you said, who wants to be so miserable."

"Sorry, sorry," the policeman waved his hand embarrassingly, "After our investigation, we found that you were relatively close to the location of the sound wave attack, and you were the most seriously injured. I think it's a coincidence, and there is no other meaning."

Eli only said: "It's okay." Then he frowned, thought for a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said: "That's right, didn't the tide of dinosaurs come from the west? The ones that haven't reached my side yet At that time, I felt something was moving in the forest near me, but I didn’t dare to look at it. Later, when the feeling came up, I didn’t know it.”

The police quickly recorded a few lines in the notebook: "What kind of movement?"

"The roar of the beast, something like that."

The policeman stared into his eyes for a few seconds, took a few more notes, and then asked many detailed questions over and over again, even asking him what he had for dinner.Eli was a little annoyed by the question, and the policeman closed his notebook before he uttered a voice to chase him away, and said, "That's right, Mr. Cotter, your house is currently in second-degree damage, and the government will give you a part of the subsidy. , because the destination of the dinosaur tide is the forest on the back of the town, so many dragons have disappeared in the forest, the government will conduct further searches, we think there will be a high risk of continuing to live in the town, so we suggest you move out Here. Of course, this is not mandatory."

Eli sighed, and looked at the policeman helplessly: "Look at me like this, what else can I do? If I stay here, who knows if I'll survive."

The policeman expressed polite sympathy to him: "Thank you for your support to our work, and please let us know when the address of the move is determined."

Eli agreed, and the policeman walked past him to the person next to him who hadn't woken up yet, flipped through the medical records, said goodbye to the two of them, and walked out of the ward.

As soon as the door was closed, Henry snorted: "The moment you fell asleep, three waves of investigators came. What's the use of investigating when all the dinosaurs have run away?"

Eli knew what they were investigating, so he comforted Henry, frowned, and glanced at the ceiling quietly.

Noah is not there again.

Eli's injury should have been hospitalized for at least a week, but within two days he asked to be discharged from the hospital and took a taxi back home.

His two-storey building was sealed off, and someone ripped it open. It still retains the appearance of the dinosaur tide that night, and there are even bloodstains left by him at the door.After pushing the door open, Noah was crouching in the garden and doing something carefully. Eli came to him and saw that he was tending a small grass whose leaves had all fallen out.

"Look, Eli, it has sprouted again." Noah looked up at him excitedly, showing off a little green sprout on the side of the main stem.Eli knelt down beside him, and lightly touched the poor seedling: "Yeah, it's very tenacious, let's take it with us, maybe it will bloom again next year."

Noah, apparently hiding somewhere to hear what the police said, looked sad, sitting in the garden with dirt all over his trousers: "Are we going to move?"

"This place has been targeted by the police, and many troops will come in later. Noah, where do you want to live? Do you like the sea or the mountains? Or a big city?"

Noah stared sadly at the bare rhizome. This is where he was born and where he and Eli met. He likes the quietness of this small town, the clear stream in the backyard, and the secret place beyond the stream. The forest, the hut that Eli built in the forest belonged only to him, but he knew that they had to get out of here.

"Eli, why am I still hiding everywhere when I become a human?"

"..."

This question made Eli feel depressed, and he couldn't open his mouth to tell the truth that was too cruel.

He could only say: "Because you are too powerful, human beings are afraid of you, and want to arrest you to do bad things for them."

Noah put his arms around Eli's shoulders, and the two of them sat in the almost-destroyed garden, looking at the unknown little flower with only roots left in front of them, and didn't speak for a long time.

In the evening, Eli packed up his things, and Noah followed behind him, saying, "Eli, let's go to Ulbury."

Eli turned around in surprise, Ulbury is the technological center of the country and the location of Gordon and Uncle Isaac, why did Noah suddenly mention this?

"What's the reason?"

"I read in the book that Ulbury is a bustling metropolis, where the first dinosaur was born. I want to see it."

"No," Eli rebuffed him sternly, "anywhere, not Ulberry."

"why?"

Eli patted his head: "It's too dangerous for you there."

"Is it really that dangerous?" Noah looked at Eli's face, "But the book says that the most dangerous place is the safest place."

With a thought in his heart, Eli stuffed Noah's pink T-shirt into his bag, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There are humans and cameras everywhere over there. You are too conspicuous, and the risk is too high."

Noah gave him a smug smile.

"I learned this," he said.

Then, under Eli's shocked gaze, he began to change his appearance little by little.The human face began to twist and deform. This process was not as cool as in science fiction movies, but it made Eli get goosebumps all over his body.

Within a few minutes, a face that was not the same as the original Noah appeared in front of Eli. Except for the color of the pupils that could not be changed, Noah made the most appropriate changes in the most appropriate places, just like breaking a piece of God's work. A work of art, it just turned a perfect face into an ordinary, not bad looking young man.

If you use colored contact lenses to cover those highly recognizable pupils, even if Gordon himself appears here, he will probably only mutter in his heart, "It looks a bit like me".

Eli was stunned for a long time, and even touched it with his hand. Noah grabbed his wrist and said with some embarrassment: "Don't touch it, I can't maintain this state very well."

"..." Eli zipped up the bag, "Let's go to Ulbury. But we can't just go there, it's better to take a detour."
