Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 51

Chapter 51

Subsequently, the height measuring instrument returned the second data. The lowest height between the sea surface and the seabed was more than 10 meters.

Enough.

The fire that broke out at the dock was also an extremely conspicuous signal. Not long after, Qi Feiluan saw a rescue speedboat riding the wind and waves approaching quickly.

At the same time, Qi Feiluan received the message again.

This rescue speedboat was driven by the mercenary team.

When Qi Feiluan sent them a distress message, he told them not to come from land but to sail over from the sea.

If Ji Xingyuan had not come to the dock, then jumping into the sea would have become Qi Feiluan’s only possible chance of survival. He asked the mercenary team to drive a rescue speedboat over, on the one hand to cover him, and on the other hand to fish him out.

After all, it is January in the cold winter in the north. Although there is no ice at the dock due to ocean currents, the temperature of the sea water is extremely low. Even if Qi Feiluan does not die on the spot after jumping into the sea, he will only end up drowning after being soaked in the sea for a long time due to hypothermia and exhaustion of all his strength.

Qi Feiluan watched the rescue speedboat approaching quickly and said to Ji Xingyuan: “It is about 7 meters away from the sea surface and the water depth is more than 10 meters. The fire above is difficult to extinguish in a short time. We can’t get on, so we can only jump off. The rescue speedboat is the one I contacted to save us. Do you want to jump?”

The fire caused by the explosion was extremely difficult to extinguish. The helicopter was able to circle around here, but because the air waves caused by the fire and the two of them were too close to the cliff of the pier, it was difficult for the helicopter to get close to rescue them.

In this case, it’s better to just jump down.

Ji Xingyuan looked up at the fire above, looked down at the sea at his feet, and finally met Qi Feiluan’s eyes.

“Jump.” Ji Xingyuan said decisively.

Qi Feiluan then asked: “Do you still remember the standard water entry posture that you trained before?”

Ji Xingyuan paused and said, “Remember, I haven’t forgotten everything.”

Whether it was the agreed communication secret words, the tacit understanding of mutual cooperation, or everything he had trained, they were all just sleeping in his body, and he had not forgotten them.

“I will disconnect the rope on the count of three,” Ji Xingyuan asked, “Are you ready?”

“Yeah.”

“Three, two, one…”

The rope extending from the prosthetic limb suddenly disconnected. Qi Feiluan and Ji Xingyuan straightened their bodies in mid-air and opened their arms. They tried their best to keep their bodies hanging down without turning over. They retracted their arms to cover their mouths and noses before falling into the water, and plunged straight into the water.

The moment he fell into the water, the cold and biting seawater enveloped Qi Feiluan. Because of his correct posture when he entered the water, he did not receive much impact. Then he spread his arms in time to float up.

After he poked his head out of the sea level, he saw Ji Xingyuan, who was also emerging from the sea next to him.

Qi Feiluan soon saw the rescue speedboat very close to them and shouted: “Over there!”

The lights on the rescue speedboat were on, and the mercenary team waiting on the rescue speedboat threw ropes and lifebuoys into the sea water.

Qi Feiluan and Ji Xingyuan struggled to swim a certain distance there, grabbed the lifebuoy, and then approached the rescue speedboat and grabbed the rope. Not long after, they were boarded on the rescue speedboat with the help of the mercenaries on the ship.

The mercenaries handed them bath towels and warm clothes. The captain looked at the fire in the distance, then looked at Ji Xingyuan next to him, and was in a mood to tease Qi Feiluan: “This is the second time we have come to rescue you. The scene is big enough. This time we saved one more, and the reward is doubled.”

“I can’t do without you.” Qi Feiluan replied.

Ji Xingyuan’s attention was attracted by the “second time” spoken by the squad leader. Apart from this time, when was the last time?

What Qi Feiluan encountered last time was so dangerous that he needed someone to save him, but he actually… didn’t know anything about it.

Ji Xingyuan’s eyes darkened.

Because the two of them had just climbed out of the cold sea water, it was obviously not the right time to ask this question.

Qi Feiluan and Ji Xingyuan quickly entered the cabin to escape the cold wind.

This rescue speedboat was not big and the cabin was a bit narrow. Qi Feiluan and Ji Xingyuan took off their wet clothes that clung to their skin in the cabin and put on the black training uniforms brought by the mercenaries.

After the two of them changed into dry and warm clothes, shoes and socks, and dried their hair with bath towels, their body temperatures gradually returned to normal levels.

The person driving the rescue speedboat told Qi Feiluan that they had to go around the pier and find a suitable place to land. It might take ten minutes.

Qi Feiluan sat in the cabin and looked outside through the glass. The night seemed not as dark as before.

The cabin was really cramped and crowded. Just when he was hesitating whether to go out for some air, Ji Xingyuan took the initiative and said, “The sun will be up in a while. Do you want to go to the back of the ship to take a look?”

Qi Feiluan had no objection.

Ji Xingyuan took the lead and crossed Qi Feiluan to open the cabin door and stepped out of the cabin.

The moment Ji Xingyuan passed Qi Feiluan, Qi Feiluan’s peripheral vision suddenly caught a flash of silver on Ji Xingyuan’s neck.

Qi Feiluan frowned and subconsciously chased after him.

The two stood in the back half of the speeding rescue speedboat. The waves and tides made the speedboat very bumpy, and the two could only hold on to both sides of the speedboat to stay steady.

Qi Feiluan looked to the east. This long night was about to pass. A hazy light had already illuminated the line of the night sky from below the ground. It was like a corner of a thick black curtain being lifted, indicating that the sun that illuminated all things was about to rise.

The dim light makes the night no longer so dense, and also casts a faint light on everything in the world.

Qi Feiluan took advantage of this glimmer of light and stared at Ji Xingyuan’s neck to see clearly what the silver light he had just glimpsed was. Then he froze in place as if struck by lightning.

Prosthetic limbs…

Ji Xingyuan actually replaced his neck with a prosthetic limb similar to his!

Just now at the dock, Qi Feiluan and Ji Xingyuan met again. The situation was critical at that time. Qi Feiluan recalled it and vaguely remembered that Ji Xingyuan was wearing a high-collar windbreaker that covered his neck.

Then they jumped into the sea and were rescued and boarded the lifeboat. This process was even more cold and chaotic. Qi Feiluan did not notice Ji Xingyuan’s neck.

When they boarded the ship and the two of them went to change out of wet clothes in the cabin, Ji Xingyuan intentionally or unintentionally covered his neck with a bath towel. After changing clothes, he also put a towel around his neck.

It wasn’t until Ji Xingyuan asked him if he wanted to leave the cabin to watch the sunrise that he stood up to leave the cabin before putting down his towel. The moment he passed by, Qi Feiluan noticed the silver light.

But…how is this possible…are you kidding me?

Ji Xingyuan, Ji Xingyuan is an Alpha!Doesn’t he want the glands?

Losing the glands meant that Ji Xingyuan was no longer an Alpha.

Is he crazy?

Because he was a Beta, Qi Feiluan had never been able to smell pheromones, and the meeting with Ji Xingyuan was in such a dangerous situation, so he failed to discover that Ji Xingyuan had actually changed to a prosthetic leg.

“When is this…” Qi Feiluan, but he didn’t know how to ask mid-sentence.

Ji Xingyuan knew what he wanted to ask, and when changing clothes, he deliberately hid it with a bath towel and towel.

When he once replaced his left arm and left hand with a prosthetic limb, Qi Feiluan even regarded it as evidence of his crime in order to further monitor him.

He was actually very afraid that Qi Feiluan would regard his behavior this time as a form of coercion or evidence of guilt.

But the new training clothes he put on were not high-collared. It would be too strange if he had a towel hanging around his neck after leaving the cabin.Qi Feiluan is so smart, he will definitely realize what he is hiding, which makes it easier for him to misunderstand that he is hiding something from him.

What’s more, if he can hide it this time, can he hide it for the rest of his life?There was always a time when he had to confess. Even if he hid it this time, how would he explain his previous concealment when he was discovered in the future?

After weighing it, Ji Xingyuan decided to put down the towel.

When he really faced Qi Feiluan’s shock at this moment, Ji Xingyuan turned his head and looked at the increasingly brighter white light on the horizon.

Qi Feiluan wanted to ask him something, and he also wanted to ask Qi Feiluan something. There was too much to say between them, but the time and place were wrong now.

Amidst the sound of the boat chopping the waves, and under the hazy light of the morning sun, Ji Xingyuan looked back at Qi Feiluan and said, “We will talk about this after we return to the shore and deal with this incident, and when we can sit down with peace of mind. Now, let’s watch the sunrise together, okay?”

Ji Xingyuan was obviously not wearing a dress or formal attire. He was only wearing a black training uniform, shrouded in a layer of almost ambiguous light. The three-dimensional and deep facial features were blurred by the morning light, leaving only strong outlines of light and shadow.

He looked at himself, his eyes blurred, and the sea breeze made their clothes rustle violently.

At this moment, the boat passed a wave and bumped obviously. Qi Feiluan’s hand holding on to the railing beside the boat tightened unconsciously, and all the shock and doubts were suppressed in an instant.

The two of them had just escaped death from the explosion at the dock. The fire in the distance was still burning, and the fire lit up the sky red.

After all, there are other people on the boat, and if they have anything to say, they can go ashore and talk about it. Now, what they should do is stay behind the boat and enjoy the sunrise on the beach.

Qi Feiluan’s eyes turned to the horizon.

At the end of the vision, the sky and the ocean are close to each other. The white light that heralds the rising sun is getting stronger and stronger, and gradually turns into a dazzling light. The thin clouds that originally covered the sky are also dyed with a gorgeous red.

If dusk is the blood of an injured and dying god spreading across the sky, then the morning glow is the bright red battle flag raised by the sun god who is about to return to the world.

What’s more, there is the endless, ever-changing mirror of the sea, which reflects the same bright red cloak of the sun god.

Qi Feiluan couldn’t help but hold his breath and concentrate, and he seemed to hear the sound of a horn in a trance.

The next moment, the edge of the sun jumped out of the horizon.

At this moment, it seemed as if all the light and color that everyone in the world could see were poured onto the boundless canvas of the sky and sea.

When the sun gradually rises halfway from the sea, its other half is reflected on the sea. The two are connected. From a distance, it looks like the entire sun appears on the sea, just like the eyes of gods looking at the world.

Qi Feiluan couldn’t help but stretched out his hand, and even wanted to touch it for a moment.

“Isn’t it beautiful?” Ji Xingyuan’s voice came from the side.

Qi Feiluan turned around and met his eyes.

The night has almost disappeared, and the once dim light has turned into a brilliant and unparalleled light. This light shines on Ji Xingyuan’s face, and the vague ambiguity before has completely disappeared. Ji Xingyuan’s extremely aggressive and aggressive face is so clear and so close, as handsome as the rising sun in the distance.

Qi Feiluan understood at that moment – Ji Xingyuan was the other eye of the god.
