Immorton

To him, a look of shock appeared on his face, and then it turned into unconcealable pity, and he didn't speak for a while.Emerton looked back indifferently, thinking maybe he should feel embarrassed?But the world has been separated from him for a long time, and it is really impossible to ignite his emotions again... He twitched the corners of his mouth and tried to greet: "Zheng Zha."

Zheng Zha reflexively replied "Hey", then woke up like a dream, walked to the table and sat down, and began to talk continuously.He talked about the newly revived two teammates (“You should have seen them”), the two formerly revived teammates (“Soldiers…”), and Chu Xuan’s plan (“Sure enough, it’s as exaggerated as before”). His dead battles ("I actually came back to life hahaha"), his new pets ("Where's the dragon like a puppy")...

Those stagnant things in the air are slowly dissolving, and the surrounding objects gradually become alive.Emerton's face began to soften, and his eyes were full of life.Zheng Zha had been paying attention to him all the time, and at this moment he couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief. Immediately, he felt smoke coming from his throat. He paused, and asked cautiously, "How about you? Are you okay..."

Emerton nodded lightly, and after a while, added hesitantly: "...don't worry."

Zheng Zha grinned with a headache: "Then I'll go first and come back tomorrow. I'm quite free these days."

Imerton continued to nod. He was still not sure how to react, but vaguely, he sensed a long-lost warmth lingering in the stone room.

The next day, Zheng Zha and Chu Xuan appeared together.Zheng Zha sat on the stone couch at one side from a distance, and watched Chu Xuan with a smile on his face, unceremoniously using various legends and strange things to test and torture Imerton, such as the golden mask and crystal skull, and the Ethiopian princess Treasure of Hitty... It didn't take long for Imerton's residual indifference and indifference to begin to be replaced by more and more obvious outrage - he couldn't answer most of the questions, and occasionally he would be asked until he couldn't answer.Chu Xuan even asked about the secret room under the city of the dead, causing Imerton to yell "I can't tell!", and the delay in his response had almost disappeared...

On the way to leave, Zheng Zha recalled Imerton's last appearance - rubbing his forehead tiredly, without even raising his head - and patted Chu Xuan's shoulder cheerfully: "You are really... even the dead I'm so angry..."

Chu Xuan glanced at him with his usual calm attitude, and replied solemnly: "The wisdom of apes..."

……

On the third day, Imerton watched a string of six people squeeze into his cell with dumbfounded eyes, and his head suddenly ached.This stone house is indeed quite large, and it can be used to receive six visitors...

In reality, however, the next few days passed very easily.After getting to know the other four team members of Zheng Zha, the guests began to discuss their affairs on their own: tactical collocation, weapons and equipment, development direction... Time passed quietly, and Imerton was comfortably silent, occasionally Think about the words that confuse him, offer some advice now and then, and keep them from trying things in the house...

At the end of the fifth day, several people scattered in the house left one by one.Zheng Zha sat at the table without moving. After watching them close the door, he turned to Imerton with a serious expression, and the latter couldn't help but sit up straighter.Zheng Zha pondered for a moment, then asked: "Do you still remember, I asked you if you would like to fight with us again."

Emerton nodded: "My answer is still the same."

"At that time, I just thought that we would go back and forth several times, and there must be a chance to fight with you and Eve. Now it seems that I really thought about it. Eve and the others encountered trouble in the United States, and we will go there in a few days But what I want to say is, do you want to think about joining us? The oath between you and Eve is only valid in this world, right?"

Imerton raised his eyes suddenly, and stared at Zheng Zha for a moment.There was no expression on his face.

"This proposal is from Chu Xuan. We have discussed it and we all think it is feasible." Zheng Zha said solemnly, "But you have to think it over. You have heard a lot about us these days, so you should know ours. Fighting is very dangerous, and no one can guarantee that he will survive. I can only say that once you join us, you are a partner, and we will not abandon your partner. Also, after leaving, although it is not impossible to come back, there are many restrictions , Can you...can you let it go? Think about it carefully, we are going to Cairo tomorrow, and I will come here to listen to the answer before we leave. No matter what, as long as you are willing, at least go to the United States in a few days, and we can fight together." He stood up, patted Imerton on the shoulder, and walked out of the stone house.

Imerton stared at the door and didn't move for a long time.Finally, he closed his eyes, leaned against the wall, and let out a barely audible sigh: "Ansuna..."

Then, this little source of missing caused a storm in his sea of ​​emotions that had been forcibly thawed but not yet calmed down.

Day [-].

After the door was opened, Zheng Zha saw Imerton standing in the middle of the room. Before he could go in, the anxious priest had already said, "I want to see Ansuna. Please take me out. Just take a look."

His expression was earnest and urgent, Zheng Zha held the door for him almost without hesitation.After taking two steps out of the door, facing the long guns that the guards hastily raised, Imerton took off his bracelet, and Zheng Zha was swept up into the sky by the desertification, leaving behind a sound of exclamation.

They crossed the desert, the Nile, the Red Sea, another desert, and finally landed on the edge of the oasis.Emerton appeared, staring at a huge and gorgeous tent in the oasis, without saying a word.Zheng Zha looked at him, turned to look at the tent, sighed, scratched his head: "How do we get there?"

Emerton turned his face away, stayed there for a while, as if awakened suddenly, and said, "The Book of the Dead, is it with you?"

Zheng Zha took out the book, Imerton held the thick book, flipped it to a certain place skillfully, recited the spell, and supplemented it with gestures. Zheng Zha felt as if he was being poured from head to toe by a bucket of cold water. The figure disappeared.Another incantation, the blue and transparent Imerton and... himself appeared in front of his eyes, reminding him of the ghostly carriage.

Imerton handed back the book and led the way to the oasis.They avoided the men in white robes, entered the tent, and went to the gorgeous compartment on the right, where Ansuna leaned against a pile of brocade fabrics, holding a booklet in her left hand and resting her right on her slightly rounded belly, with a charming expression And arbitrary.

Zheng Zha looked at Imherton worriedly, but he saw him staring and watching intently, as if he wanted to engrave this scene into his soul.

There was movement outside, and a young man's voice came from the main hall: "Okay, Milanes, don't keep looking at those ledgers. You mother and son come out for activities, I have already cleared the place."

Ansuna straightened up, raising her eyebrows and smiling.This demeanor seemed to contain magic power, which immediately woke Imerton up.He took half a step back, his lips trembling, he froze for a moment, then turned around and left the tent in a daze.Zheng Zha followed him all the way to the outside of the oasis. Seeing that he didn't stop, he had to follow him two steps and pressed his shoulder.

Emerton glanced back, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice, "I don't always remember, her name is Miranes... Eve has always disliked being called Nefertili, even though it is clearly the same soul. " He smiled weakly, "I hope she is well, I see her well, I should be satisfied..."

He stepped forward, but suddenly stopped, covering his left rib with his right hand, and slowly curled up and knelt down.He moved his left hand to his face and refused to let it go for a long time.

He cried.

[-]. Another life

Three days later, New York.

In the hazy sky, the all-night lights opposite the hotel went out one by one, and the melodious and clear birdsong gradually became louder.

Imerton withdrew his gaze and looked into the room: at the writing desk, Chu Xuan was busy with something; Zheng Zha was dragged over by him early in the morning, and was lazily lying on the recliner.He smiled subconsciously, and continued: "... As I mentioned before, I exchanged vows with Eve, and I can find her through the soul imprint. But the strange thing is that we arrived very late yesterday, and I felt She is very far away from us, but she has only rested for a short time, and the distance between her and us is actually less than half closer than yesterday."

Chu Xuan was absent-minded, and said flatly: "Probably they are taking the train. Why don't you two make a trip, meet them quickly, and ask what's going on."

"Uh, probably three people." Zheng Zha was obviously very unwilling to leave the reclining chair, and got up slowly, "If the patriarch wakes up and can't see Imerton, he's going to strangle me again... why don't you take him with you."

Imerton looked down.That day, when he and Zheng Zha returned to the sky above the capital of the dead, they saw the ground was brightly lit and the voices of people were as loud as a pot of boiling porridge.The cavalry gathered on the sidelines, and the Zhongzhou team was arguing endlessly with the men in black... As soon as they landed, the patriarch of the men in black rushed forward and grabbed Zheng Zha by the collar, roaring like thunder: "You have to tell me! I know you have Eve's permission, but he's my responsibility now! If you're going to take him out, you've got to..."

A hand on his shoulder interrupted the memory.He looked up, Zheng Zha brushed him and walked to the front, said: "I'll call him, you wait for me on the roof." Then he turned his head and gave him a smile, "It's nothing, don't think too much." Open the door and step out of the room .

Emerton looked at his back and said softly, "I'm sorry that day."

"It's you who calmed things down." Chu Xuan went about his work without raising his head, "You apologized, and they were quiet when they entered the stone house. Dare to do it. It is not a threat if you really do it."

Emerton choked, and replied after a few seconds: "...well, see you later
