I Was Once a Legend

"I have lived enough." Chen Jianguo said with a smile, "I was born with my country, accompanied her through the most difficult period, witnessed her go the wrong way, experienced disasters, and accompanied her to break free from the shackles in the cold eyes ,becoming more and more beautiful. I have eaten bark and briquettes, abalone and black truffles, have been poor, and have been rich. When I died, I was 71 years old, lying in the VIP ward of a private hospital, with five children and Their respective children were by their side, and the eldest son held my hand and helped me remove the oxygen tube."

"I don't have anything to regret. The Pure White Land still gave me a second chance at life. My body is no longer fit to enter the box. Staying in the library is my best choice."

Dong Zheng couldn't help feeling that he had seen the fear in Chen Jianguo's heart in the mirror, or guilt. The ups and downs of life that this old man experienced were difficult for him to truly understand when he was young.

They chatted briefly again, Mr. deeds wanted to take Chen Jianguo to register, Kars said: "Mr. Dong Zheng, please come with me first, your friend is probably getting impatient."

Indeed, after coming out of the assessment site, the connection of the blood contract was restored, and Dong Zheng could feel the anxiety coming from Cui Zuojing, the young man was worried about himself.

Saying goodbye to Chen Jianguo and Mr.deeds, they all knew that if there were no accidents, they should not have the chance to meet again from today.

Kars took Dong Zheng back to the reading room where he and Cui Zuojing were at the beginning.

The boy was lying on the sofa reading a book bored, but before Dong Zheng arrived at the door, he heard familiar footsteps, raised his head quickly, and his eyes lit up.

He hurriedly sat up and put on the shoes he had taken off: "How is it?"

Dong Zheng made a victory gesture and said with a smile: "Stable."

"As expected of you." Cui Zuojing glanced over Dong Zheng's shoulder, landed on Kars, and said, "We spent a lot of time on the release of the blood contract. We went to the circus to find a clown before, and the clown said he couldn't do it." Come, let's come to the library and ask."

"The blood deed reflects the rules of the pure white land boundary, so it's not easy to unlock, let alone you are a prisoner through illegal means. But the clown thinks well, the library does have a way." Kars pointed to the sofa and gestured Dong Zheng sat down, "Every administrator will be given extraordinary power by this library called 'Chaos' to protect the precious knowledge in this world. I will help you release the blood contract and win it as Mr. Dong Zheng. A reward for the final test."

Kars: "This process is irreversible. Once the blood contract is released, there is no way to restore it. Mr. Cui will become a pilgrim in the Pure White Realm again, while Mr. Dong Zheng will no longer be able to obtain other prisoners. One must think clearly."

"We have already thought it through." Cui Zuojing said, "Although it is convenient for two people to be bound together, the rules of the blood contract are too easy for others to take advantage of. We have to face the queen and her heirs. Be sure to avoid all possible weaknesses."

"Since the two of you have made up your mind, let's start." The two hands outstretched in Kars' black robe pressed Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing's foreheads respectively. Its hands were cold, reminiscent of cold-blooded snakes.

Cui Zuojing closed his eyes, his heart beat violently at this moment, and he was surrounded by unprecedented tension, even when he returned to the Pure White Realm and decided to become a prisoner, he was never so nervous.

The boy's hand by his side moved, touched Dong Zheng's hand, and held it tightly.

And Dong Zheng also clasped back vigorously, as if the two of them could draw strength from each other.

Warm and cool energy poured from Kars' fingertips into the center of the eyebrows, passed through the flesh and bones, and reached the deepest soul, wandering around looking for the target.This is a completely novel feeling. The power from the outside world is obviously so powerful that it can easily destroy a person's soul, but it is so harmless and peaceful that people can't resist it instinctively.

Is this the power of libraries?

Kars finally found the contract buried in the depths of his soul, a blood contract sworn by blood and life as an alliance.For the first time, Cui Zuojing saw the image of the Blood Pact in his conscious world—the wheel of fate suspended in the sea of ​​consciousness, with thin transparent threads winding on it, interweaving into a complex network, extending a thread, penetrating time and The space is tightly wound around the root system of the Arabidopsis plant in Dong Zheng's core.

Cui Zuojing hesitated at this moment, he wanted to take a good look at the reflection of the blood contract in his soul, and wondered if he touched the roulette like Dong Zheng touched Arabidopsis, would Dong Zheng also be able to touch it? Take comfort from him.

However, it was too late, Kars's power slowly wrapped up, and the thin thread connecting Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing melted in an instant.

The wheel of fate spun rapidly, wrapping all the broken threads on it. At this moment, an unprecedented sense of loss surged into my heart from the depths of my soul, just like a healthy person lost a hand, and he could no longer feel it. to the presence of that hand—even when the man was sitting close beside him.

This strong loss made Cui Zuojing tremble and hasten his breathing, and his closed eyelashes trembled. He could only hold Dong Zheng's hand more tightly, clenched his teeth, and silently endured the unprecedented emptiness.

When he first formed the blood contract, he was still unaccustomed to the feeling with Dong Zheng for a while, until he gradually got used to that feeling. Cui Zuojing also thought that he would not be too comfortable after the dissolution, but he didn't Thinking of... it would be so uncomfortable.

At this moment, Dong Zheng's other hand passed around his waist and embraced him in his arms.

After the thin line was cut off by Kars, Dong Zheng immediately took care of the aftermath by himself. He closed some internal feedback ports and forcibly reduced the negative feedback on him from the disappearance of the blood contract. Although he also suffered from a sense of loss, he did not have Cui Zuo Jing as strong.

Kars withdrew his hand on Dong Zheng's forehead, and focused on helping Cui Zuojing, because the boy is not a brain developer, and it stands to reason that he cannot have enough spiritual power to enter the sea of ​​consciousness, nor is he capable of self-mediation.

The warm embrace comforted Cui Zuojing, the young man wrapped his hands around Dong Zheng's back, tightly grasped the clothes behind him, buried half of his face on his shoulder, and felt the most reassuring smell with every breath .

A few minutes later, Kars withdrew his hand, heaved a sigh of relief, and whispered: "It's fine."

Cui Zuojing opened his eyes. He slowly got up from Dong Zheng's arms, looked at the person in front of him, and truly realized that they could no longer open their hearts to each other without any concealment as before.

The blood contract that lasted for one year, six months and three days was completely released at this moment.

But Cui Zuojing was never the kind of sentimental and brooding person. He lost some, but also regained more important things.

Dong Zheng kissed his forehead and whispered: "You are free."

"But you have tamed me a long time ago." The young man smiled, his black eyes were so shiny that they seemed to flow water in the blink of an eye, "I have never been a rose, but the one that was tamed by you." The fox, and you, are the little prince I can immediately recognize in the crowd and think of the wheat field."

"Did I come at the wrong time?" A childish voice sounded from the door. Cui Zuojing looked there, and a boy of seven or eight years old was walking in. Kars said, "The information has been sorted out and can be sent to the Supreme Council."

Seeing that boy, Dong Zheng immediately realized who he was: the kid who defeated Fu Zhe in the end and became the winner among all brain domain developers, the kid with hypermemory.

He seemed to be doing well in the library, seeing Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing looking at him, the boy smiled at them and said, "If the two of you are not in my erased memory, we don't seem to know each other? "

Cui Zuojing: "My friend was your opponent, his name is Fu Zhe."

The boy raised his eyebrows: "I remember him, the captain of the afternoon tea party team. Unfortunately, he was trapped by the queen not long after that, and there was no chance to meet again. Is he okay now?"

"Not bad." From the boy's words, Cui Zuojing confirmed that the library did know everything about the Pure White Realm.

The boy just came to inform Kars and left quickly.

Finally, another matter of concern was resolved. Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing were sent out of the library by Kars. Before leaving, Dong Zheng asked: "Will the pilgrims who finally choose to be administrators work here for the rest of their lives?"

"Yes, they are chosen by knowledge, and they will always be the most loyal believers of knowledge."

This was the last time Cui Zuojing saw Kars.

Walking out of the library gate, what I saw in front of me was the familiar street again.Everything is the same as before Dong Zheng entered the library. The morning sun is shining softly, the leaves of the street trees are rustling with the wind, and pilgrims with strange faces are walking along the street, and electric cars pass by from time to time , bringing the distant wind.

The shops on the street put up the opening signs one after another. Cui Zuojing and Dong Zheng stood in the middle of the street. He raised his hand, and the sun poured down from between his fingers. The strange baroque building with 365 steps was endless Disappeared, as if it never existed.

"Is it still uncomfortable?" Dong Zheng asked.

"It's okay, I have to get used to it slowly." Cui Zuojing stretched his waist, and the two left the middle of the road and walked towards the alley, "I've been nesting on the sofa for a week, and it made me almost rusty. Just go to the event."

Dong Zheng laughed, taking advantage of no one's attention, he quickly left a kiss on the corner of the young man's lips: "Let's go, go home, I'll practice two hands with you."

"Practice both hands?" Cui Zuojing smiled slyly, "Where do you practice? Is the 1.8-meter bed in my bedroom enough for you to practice?"

"Where are you thinking again?" Dong Zheng took out the key, opened a random door in the alley, and returned to the castle. At this moment, the living room was empty and no one was there.

What about people?

"It's broken." Dong Zheng looked at the empty living room, suddenly slapped his thigh, and whispered such a sentence in frustration.

Cui Zuojing looked at him immediately: "What's wrong?"

Seeing Dong Zheng's serious face, he said slowly:

"I forgot to go to the supermarket to buy something."
