Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

Invincible.

Wrong, all wrong.

How could this be so?

How is this possible...

Xu Minglang only felt that he was in the purgatory of ice and fire, his heart was cooked like fire, and then someone used a blunt knife to slowly cut open his heart, little by little, and let the soft internal organs be turned over , blood poured out from the body, leaving only ice cold.

Xu Minglang is like a sculpture that has lost its soul, motionless, allowing the soul to slowly disappear under the calm appearance, the silent cry is bound under this layer of skin, and the tears flow silently.

Zhou Xuerong turned his back to him, unwilling to turn back for a long time.

After a long time, he heard an extremely hoarse voice murmur:

"is that true?"

no answer.

"Have you...been here so many times?"

Zhou Xuerong closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and prayed that all this would pass quickly.But Xu Minglang would not go his way, and said:

"You could have been spared...'he' wanted me."

"......why?"

"I asked why you did this!! Are you crazy?! Are you crazy?!!!"

Xu Minglang cursed loudly, his face was already messed up with tears, his voice was hoarse to the limit, and he was about to pass out on the ground in the next second.

Zhou Xuerong didn't turn around.

"Turn around..." Xu Minglang was exhausted, his knees softened, and he knelt down on the ground. He pleaded with anger, "Let me see you..."

The back trembled.

Then slowly, a dazed and evasive face appeared, like a child who has done something wrong.

Zhou Xuerong squatted down, and in the boundless black space, the two looked at each other quietly, leaving time and space behind, their eyes only reflected each other's faces.

Zhou Xuerong suddenly laughed.

In Xu Minglang's impression, Zhou Xuerong's candid smile was something that happened when he was a child, and he suddenly panicked.

Zhou Xuerong held Xu Minglang in his arms, with his lips close to his ears, just like every day in the past.

He lay beside Xu Minglang's ear and said, "You're right, I'm crazy. I've been crazy for a long time."

"Sometimes I really don't want to be reconciled. I don't want to be the only one who remembers everything. Brother knows how many times I saw you, and I have an urge to drag you into hell together. Let's drown together."

Xu Minglang's heart felt like a knife was being twisted, and he couldn't stop crying.

"You should have done it, why not?"

Zhou Xuerong lowered his eyes and curled his lips: "Maybe it's a gambler's mentality. Every time I fail, I always want to try again, just one more time. Maybe next time, the result will be different?"

The words are like the poison of the tarsal bone.

Zhou Xuerong couldn't help hugging the limp body in his arms even tighter.

He chuckled: "Don't cry, look, isn't it good now? I know that as long as you persist in many things, you will usher in a different ending, as long as you are willing to try."

It was supposed to be a comforting word, but Xu Minglang broke free from Zhou Xuerong's embrace with an outburst of strength from nowhere. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him, tears traced his deep eye sockets, and his pupils were slightly lighter in color. , Eyes with thick lashes and feathers.

The tearful glass-like eyes were stared at so straightly, but they didn't dodge the slightest bit.

"Heh." Xu Minglang gave a wry smile, and big tears fell on his legs, "So, this is the first time you have the opportunity to tell me these things."

Zhou Xuerong's tone was soft: "That's not the case..."

"When you're lying, you're straight to the point." Xu Minglang was angry, but his tone was firm and unquestionable. "64 games, you can't reveal our relationship, and you can't reveal the truth. You have been misunderstood by everyone and Framed, but this is not the scariest thing. What you are most afraid of is that you will be left to the end, because you cannot commit suicide, you can only stay alone until the next game starts. There is a year between the start and end of each game , and this year the world is still, everything is still, except you."

Zhou Xuerong's eyes widened, his lower lip trembled: "Don't...don't say..."

"It took you so long to get back the opportunity to say this today..."

"Tell me, is it worth it?"

What kind of persistent feelings can make a person give up everything and not be afraid to wait alone in the eternally static world, just to step into this cannibal game time and time again, to see the ugliness and betrayal of human nature, and to suffer all kinds of abuse from his companions? Suspicion and instigation, but not even the right to defend oneself.

Is there really such love in the world...

"worth."

Xu Minglang was dumbfounded.

How can there be such love in the world.

"What I owe you, won't I be able to repay it for the rest of my life?"

Zhou Xuerong hugged him tightly: "Our red thread is entangled, since we can't change it in this life, then in the next life, the next life, until you pay it off, okay?"

Xu Minglang replaced the answer with a kiss.

After a long life and death, this pair of lovers stood in front of each other again, wondering if there is any lover in the world who can be as unlucky as them, whose face will change completely and everything will be forgotten just because of a careless word.But how many lovers can be as lucky as them, go through the vicissitudes of life together, and when they stand in front of each other again, their love is still undiminished.

A burst of applause sounded, separating the two people who were embracing each other.Looking back, Olivia was sitting on the locker, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with the doll rabbit ears.

"It's so touching. Sure enough, Shakespeare's tragedies are so classic in any era."

Xu Minglang wished he could tear Olivia to shreds, and use every method he could think of to crush her to ashes!

"Don't look at me like that, you have to blame yourself." Olivia jumped lightly, her soft skirt fluttering in the wind, she stretched out her chubby index finger, shaking her head and said, "If you didn't You insisted on going to the piano store to pick up the piano, and you didn't improvise to play a piece in the street, or you left after playing, and didn't say those things to me. Maybe everything will be different."

"The actions of tragic characters are not due to objective reasons, but are often due to their personal will. In other words, being selected by me to participate in the game is your destiny."

Zhou Xuerong rushed forward to block Xu Minglang, but this time he didn't make a move, but said calmly.

"Your game is over. I survived. According to the agreement, you should let us go."

Olivia had a childish face, and raised her hand to lift up the oil painting in the corner of the room. Zhou Xuerong couldn't see through what tricks she was playing, but he also knew that she had a paradoxical temper and didn't do things according to common sense, so she dragged Xu Minglang to step back.

Several oil paintings were flying in the sky in random order. Olivia flicked her fingers lightly, and one of them stopped. Ye Jiawen exclaimed on the canvas.

Xu Minglang shouted: "What did you do to Ye Jiawen!"

Olivia pressed down on her wrist, and the oil painting fell heavily, but the frightening scene did not happen. Ye Jiawen was stripped from the canvas and fell to the ground.

She was still in shock, rubbing her wrists and looking around, still wondering where she was.When she found that the person standing not far behind was Xu Minglang, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Minglang also stepped forward to help her up.

Ye Jiawen wanted to tell him what she saw in the hotel's oil paintings, but seeing Xu Minglang's stern face, she knew it was not a good time to speak, so she followed his gaze and looked behind her. Terrified, it was Olivia standing behind her.

"That's her! Everything is this girl..."

Olivia didn't even look at Ye Jiawen, but looked at Zhou Xuerong and said, "Like all games in the world, there can only be one winner."

"Why the hell did you say such a thing?!" Zhou Xuerong roared with a hoarse voice, his eyes were terribly gloomy.

"Oh, so I didn't say it, look at how sloppy I am..." Olivia raised her forehead exaggeratedly, her eyes flashed coldly in the shadows, and her tone suddenly became sharp, "Then I will add now Not too late."

"Of the three of you, only one can return to his original world."

"From now on, you still have one hour to make a decision, and the means of discussion are unlimited..."

"You keep saying that you want to play a game with us, how about I play a game with you too?" Xu Minglang interrupted Olivia, and said in a calm manner.

"Bro! You know what you're talking about..."

Olivia waved her small hand and replied, "You, a mortal, want to play games with me?"

"Heh, don't underestimate modern people. We all grew up immersed in video games. When it comes to playing games, we are better than you."

Olivia smiled sweetly, and seemed interested.Ask again: "Why do you let me play with you?"

"Because you think so highly of yourself that the games you design are perfect."

Olivia pursed her lips, as if questioning his words.

"The first round of the game was in a supermarket in the suburbs. The weird cola and dried tofu and the carp that appeared in the sea were all loopholes in your design." Xu Minglang stabilized his mind and tried to recall the details as much as possible. "At that time Zhou Xuerong was told Curse, I can’t clearly tell that we have fallen into the game, so I used the carp to enlighten me, so that I understood the weirdness of this world at once. However, during the next game, we also ate a lot of things, but we didn’t see it again. Finding odd-tasting foods, so I guess you're gradually refining your 'design' as well."

"You want all your creations to be perfect, this is the commonality of all creators." Xu Minglang's palms are already sweaty, "So my game rule is, if I can find a bug in the world you designed, even if only One, even if you lose, you have to let us all go back. Conversely, if I can't find it, then I lose, and I am willing to stay forever and be a pawn in your game."

"Brother!! Are you crazy!"

Xu Minglang didn't think he was crazy, on the contrary he felt that he was more sober than ever before.He claims that he is not an extremely intelligent person, and the hobby that exercises his brain the most is watching suspense novels and movies, but he himself did not expect that under the pressure of his life, he would be able to straighten out so many thoughts.Anyway, what Olivia said was going to tear him and Zhou Xuerong apart. In that case, it would be better if he sacrificed himself to save at least two people.

Olivia also became serious. She stared at Xu Minglang closely, wondering if he was talking nonsense at the end of his life, or if he really wanted to challenge her authority as the creator.

Time passed by, and no one made a sound in the huge room. It took a long time for Olivia to chuckle.

"As expected of the person I'm looking for, it's so interesting, I can't help but look forward to how fun the endless time with you will be in the future."

"Just say whether you agree or not."

"Yes..." Olivia raised her face, but changed the topic, "But not now. You can play games if you want, but you have to play my games first."

Xu Minglang was sweating profusely, and wanted to say something, but Olivia waved her hand and threw a desk clock on the cabinet in front of the three of them. Some kind of trick was used, and the watch became bigger and bigger. It wasn't until the three of them looked up that they could see the hands of the watch, and then buckled the outer glass cover on it, trapping the clock and the three of them together.

"From now on, you have half an hour to decide who will live to the end. By the way, the oxygen in the mask is only enough for half an hour~"

"You let us out!!" Ye Jiawen patted the glass cover, crying hysterically.But Olivia put her palm next to her ear, as if to confirm if she heard something.

"It's useless, stop shouting." Xu Minglang knew that no matter what he did, he couldn't reverse the current situation, so he was immediately discouraged, and felt like laughing.To be able to feel such extreme two emotions at the same time, maybe this is what it feels like to go to the end.

However, what makes him most desperate right now is not that there is no way out, but to choose a person who can survive among the three of them.

Three real people.

Are they going to use rock-paper-scissors to decide who lives and who dies?

On the other hand, Zhou Xuerong was not overly entangled. He sat on the clock tower and suddenly said, "Brother must live. You are the only meaning for me to participate in the game."

Ye Jiawen was so frightened that her legs went limp when she heard this.She remembered Zhou Xuerong's pursuit of her when she was in the hotel.

Zhou Xuerong stood up, and Ye Jiawen immediately retreated alertly, but he ignored it. Instead, he walked up to Xu Minglang, bent down and solemnly repeated what he had just said.

Xu Minglang was very upset. After going through so much, it was a lie to say that he didn't want to live, but his survival was based on the sacrifice of others, how could he accept it?What's more, it is impossible for him to survive alone after recovering his memory.He knew that Zhou Xuerong took the initiative to participate in the game in order to win back the future of the two of them, not in exchange for an eternal yin and yang separation.

Just blame fate.

Xu Minglang sighed, pushed aside Zhou Xuerong's hands that were supporting him, looked at him calmly and said, "This is the end, do you think I can live on my own with peace of mind?"

Zhou Xuerong's eyes were also deep, without joy or sorrow. The two stared for a long time without uttering a word, as if they were looking for something in each other's eyes. He could only hear happiness, Zhou Xuerong also smiled, but his smile was bitter and restrained.

Ye Jiawen stood neither far nor close, only feeling that there was an atmosphere between the two that she couldn't understand.

Xu Minglang hugged Zhou Xuerong, he hugged him tightly, and buried his head in the other's neck.They hugged each other under the huge clock, and every time the pendulum swung, there was a breeze.
