Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

----

From the time he received Zhao Feng's call on the way, Lu You has been in a state of confusion.According to what Qi Zhengyun said just now, this matter had nothing to do with Zhao Feng at all, it was only involved because the identity of "roommate" was favored.I don't know what Qi Zhengyun did to scare Zhao Feng so badly that he cooperated with him to find an excuse to trick him back.Lu You didn't care about this, and felt a little sorry, but in this way, he couldn't guess what Qi Zhengyun was here for.

Seeing the gesture of the man opposite him reaching under the hem of his clothes, although an untimely guess appeared at that moment, he still became really nervous afterwards: the thing hidden in the clothes may be some kind of certificate, or it may be a dangerous one. arms.Although the short-sleeved T-shirt that Qi Zhengyun was wearing was thin, the fabric was attached to his waist, and the lines were clear, so it was impossible to see what was hidden underneath.

Then Qi Zhengyun held something, and raised his hand.It's just that the thing that was taken out was as dark as the clothes, and the outline could not be distinguished at first.It's not just the part of the hand, Lu You saw that the fabric at the hem of the clothes was lifted up a little, and then a small arc was exposed from the edge, as if it came around from the back, protruded from the waist, and connected to the hand.

……rope?Lu You stared at the arc, with subtle reflections on it, and the texture was neither fiber nor leather, which inexplicably made people feel that it should be cold.

When Qi Zhengyun put his hand on the coffee table, he finally saw clearly...the front part of the black thing that really should be described by the quantifier "bar": the thinnest tip is also blunt, not sharp enough to It is used for piercing, but it is covered with some kind of hard substance, with shallow spiral lines; a little further back, it transitions to fine and dense scales, and the diameter is also increasing at the same time.After half a distance from the top of the coffee table, when you reach the edge of the table, you will have the thickness of your wrist.

Lu You stared at that thing.Qi Zhengyun's hand didn't move, but it... moved unmistakably under his gaze, revealing a cautious and tentative meaning.Although Lu You really wants to believe that it is some kind of man-made appliance, it can move because of the structure of the parts inside, and it is powered by energy... According to the principle of bionics...

...but it really does look like it's alive.

Lu You swallowed unconsciously, feeling the tightness in his throat, which made his voice weak when he spoke, "Can you... move your hand away?" He asked in a low voice.

Qi Zhengyun has been paying attention to his expression, not sure if things are going smoothly.Hearing what Lu You said, he let go of his hand silently and moved aside.The thing was left alone on the table, then raised its front end, "head up" hanging in the air, and swung left and right slightly.

This scene made Lu You unconsciously want to distance himself from it.He leaned back slightly, and as soon as the resistance was conveyed, it immediately stopped moving.Both of them fell silent, and after a while, Lu You barely recovered his voice.

"You brought a...live, snake?" he asked with difficulty.

In fact, he has no particular fear of those scaled, soft and cold animals, and he thinks some of them are quite beautiful, provided that he can see them on the screen or through glass.At such a close distance, there is no obstacle in the middle, if it comes suddenly, there is nothing at hand to resist it.

Lu You found that his guesses about "weapons" were still too narrow.If it wasn't for Qi Zhengyun looking at him carefully, as if he was worried that he would be frightened, and the nervousness in his eyes became a hint that "the other party doesn't want him to get hurt", which made him calm down , I couldn't help but stood up and backed away.

However, there is one more problem... With such a tapered front end and no eyes, if it is a snake, it is more like a tail?

Something doesn't feel right.The guess he raised didn't seem to be what Qi Zhengyun expected. He blinked, showing a hesitant expression of not being sure whether to tell the truth. "...not a snake," he finally said, "it's a part of...my body."

In fact, the shapeless shadow is his most real form, but these arms and legs are the same as the human body used at the moment, they can sense the outside world and respond normally, and they will also bleed in pain when they are hurt-the blood of the human body is much higher than that of ordinary people. It needs a little more special substance, which is more similar to the monsters in this world if it is sent for inspection; what flows out after the tentacles are injured is a transparent liquid, and the power in it will dissipate quickly after leaving his body, turning into real water .Therefore, it is not wrong to say that these tentacles are his "organs", but Qi Zhengyun tried his best to express it tactfully.

When he said that, he thought of the world where he was the god of the sea, when he chose Lu You as a "sacrifice" and showed him the form of the god of the sea... because after that parting, he was in a state of confusion for a long time , the memory became blurred in the deep sleep, but he still vaguely remembered that Lu You didn't seem to be very surprised at that time, nor was he too frightened to accept it.He trembled at the touch of those tentacles, but was willing to reach out and touch them, willing to be hugged.

In the icy sea water, he always remembered the softness and temperature he gained at that time.

He sat upright on the too soft sofa, and saw that as the words fell, Lu You's expression was a little confused at first, and then it became blank, and his gaze slowly moved from the tentacles to his face, as if I suspect this is a joke.

"A part of you..." Lu You repeated mechanically, not realizing that he had shown a blunt smile, but he didn't think it was funny, but to prevent himself from blurting out meaningless questions.Qi Zhengyun felt that a little more credibility might be needed, so he tentatively stretched out his tentacles towards him. Before he could say anything, Lu You had already shrunk back directly in response, and raised his hand after being hindered by the chair. With one hand in front of him, he made a defensive posture.

"Stop!" He said quickly, raising his voice unconsciously, "Stay away from me—no, you just...just put it there...don't ask me to verify it!"

——He seems to have begun to guess why Zhao Feng reacted that way...

The sound of water in the kitchen could be faintly heard through the door, and Zhao Feng who was locked inside remained still, as if he was not about to come out.Qi Zhengyun retracted the tentacles a little frustrated, and put them back on the table in front of him.He looked at himself seriously again: the scales were hard and smooth, arranged without any gaps, and without any defects; although the color was a bit monotonous and there were no beautiful patterns, the pure black luster was also aesthetically pleasing.

Is it really that scary?

He was still a little lucky, thinking that if he explained the situation clearly and showed it in a peaceful way, he might be accepted without causing panic, just like that time... It turns out that even if the monster didn't shout and kill , I have been trying to show goodwill, wanting to be treated like a human being after revealing my identity, it is just a delusion.

When running away from him a few times before, what Lu You was afraid of was not only the violence and strangeness that symbolized danger, but also himself.This sudden realization was originally just a small blow, but when it was connected with that experience, it seemed to vaguely indicate some problems that he had never thought about before, and it was not so natural as it seemed... It's just that there is no time to recall the past slowly .He recorded this feeling, and stopped his thoughts from going deeper, and let his attention return to the current situation.

At least it's better than the worst outcome of "running away", isn't it?

Lu You's eyes wandered, as if he didn't want to look at him or his tentacles, but he was even more worried if he didn't look at them.After a while, he finally gained some courage from Qi Zhengyun's obedient behavior of restraining his tentacles, took a deep breath, and completed his psychological construction. "So..." he asked tremblingly, "this is... your tail?"

Please don't be tentacles, he prayed inwardly.

"... Tentacles?" Qi Zhengyun replied cautiously.

--All right.The bad premonition came true, and Lu You had already become a little numb. After all, the world view had been broken when he learned of the existence of "inhumans". Compared with the specific species, it was only a small problem.but……

"Are you a sea creature?" Lu You guessed. Seeing Qi Zhengyun nodded, he couldn't help asking again, "Then... how many are there?"

Then he heard a rustling sound.More tentacles "climbed" up along the sofa surface.That scene was like a group of snakes swimming, instantly challenging the limit of psychological endurance.Lu You found that his ability to accept abnormal things was probably higher than expected. Even though he was covered in hairs, he still firmly resisted the feeling of creepiness at this moment, and waited until he counted all those tentacles and came up with the number "twelve". At that time, he had already gotten used to it a little bit.

Actually thirteen.There is also a special function, similar to an octopus' wrist. Qi Zhengyun felt that stretching it out was a bit like a hooligan, so he didn't let it out.He saw that Lu You seemed to have calmed down, and a small flame of hope was rekindled in his heart. "I didn't mean to scare you... just don't have much time to explain." He was thinking about how to explain the situation, and he didn't forget to defend himself when organizing his words, "There are monsters that eat humans and are eyeing you , and has already started to do it. I want to protect you, so I want to live in the place closest to you..."

Even in the most sincere tone, these words sounded pitifully low on credibility.Before he had doubts, Lu You looked at the tentacles that started to shake like a person unconsciously shaking his legs because Qi Zhengyun didn't pay attention to control them, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind. "Your tentacles..." He hurriedly interrupted Qi Zhengyun's unfinished sentence, "Was it...by the side of the road...?"

Qi Zhengyun understood what Lu You was referring to. "The broken wire? I blocked it." He said, "Actually, it was more than that once. On the way back, didn't you encounter a car out of control, a wolf dog with someone slipping on the side of the road frantically broke away from the rope, and the police chased you?" The fugitive, and is the railing of the overpass broken? These are actually related to monsters, and I stopped them secretly."

He didn't realize that telling these things would increase his favorability... For the convenience of telling, Qi Zhengyun simply attributed the "accident" to the monster, "Also, someone on the rooftop is about to jump off the building, and if he really jumps, he may hit you .You probably didn't notice this."

Lu You thought of the wolf dog rushing forward barking wildly, frightening him and the people around him, braking suddenly for unknown reasons, and then turning around and running away like a shit... He fell silent After a while, he asked, "What happened to...the person who jumped off the building?"

"I dragged him back—with tentacles." Qi Zhengyun said casually, "Then he ran away, and it seemed that he had a very strong desire to survive... probably he won't want to die again in the future."

Lu You didn't know what to say.He lowered his head, clasped his hands, and said after a while: "Then if, these things are all about you..." He stopped before he finished speaking, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I don't seem to have anything worth calculating like this." of."

some.Qi Zhengyun said silently in his heart.

"Sorry, don't mind my random guessing..." Lu You's voice dropped, and he finally said, "I'm a little nervous now."

He raised his head and looked at Qi Zhengyun, "Can I ask, why did you help me? I don't know you, and I don't remember saving small animals like octopuses..."

Qi Zhengyun felt that this reason alone was not bad. "You sort of... saved me," he said, his voice softening. "You just don't remember."

It can indeed be described as salvation, right?From the double ignorance of loneliness and happiness - he didn't say to forget, because this is the past for him, and it has not happened for Lu You.

Lu You didn't speak for a while.Qi Zhengyun didn't urge him to react, or stuff more things into his head, and waited patiently for him to speak again.Until Lu You met his gaze again.

"I don't know...whether I believe you or not." Lu You spoke slowly, without avoiding his gaze with Qi Zhengyun, "I know too much all of a sudden, and my mind is a little confused now. I need to... Think about it."

"You don't have to force yourself to trust me." Qi Zhengyun said in a low voice, "I just want you to be able to react when you are attacked... If I rush to rescue, don't treat me as a danger."

This is the truth and it is also a lie.Just as a short-term goal, this state is barely acceptable, but then he will want more, want real trust and intimacy—and, it is deeper than anyone who is not familiar with him at the moment can think of. many relationships.

Lu You nodded, "But I have no reason not to believe you." He said, "If you want to stay here...I'll go talk to Zhao Feng later."

Zhao Feng will definitely not want to continue to be his roommate.Even if Zhao Feng is not afraid, considering the danger of being implicated - if what Qi Zhengyun said about "being targeted by monsters" is true - he has to be persuaded to leave.And... Lu You thought of Yuan Xiaoxiao.He had completely forgotten just now that the girl was still waiting for him to go to school.

Lu You took out his mobile phone, feeling that his mood was not suitable for calling, so he still sent a message, telling Yuan Xiaoxiao not to wait.Afterwards, depending on the situation, whether to find an excuse to avoid the daily meeting and communication... He decided to wash his face and calm down, and think about these things when he came back. "...Let's do this first." He looked at Qi Zhengyun and said.

Except for a little bit out of control in the middle, Lu You behaved fairly calmly throughout the whole process.Qi Zhengyun thought that he had understood the current situation and began to think calmly, and he was not as afraid of him as he was worried about.Seems to be going well...?

He watched Lu You stand up from the sofa, took a step, and then slammed into the corner of the coffee table.

It was only when Lu You got up that his legs felt weak, and he could hardly stand still.Something wrapped around his waist and pulled him, keeping him from falling.The tactile sensation passed through the clothes, and it was too short to feel it. Lu You shuddered, and the pain from his knee hitting the coffee table rushed up along the nerves, pierced into his mind, and stirred up his already very chaotic thinking.

Qi Zhengyun's tentacles stretched out to pull him hadn't retracted to his side, Lu You looked at it, the ups and downs of bending and stretching, while scary, unexpectedly also had an almost elegant feeling.

"When you... took this out before," he said out of nowhere, "I actually wondered if you were... well, how should I put it, because I didn't see that there was something hidden under your clothes... Do you think it's better to take it out like that than just pop out? But you know that motion...it looks like you're undoing the belt?"

The movement of the tentacles stopped in mid-air.Qi Zhengyun began to recall what he did at that time, from the perspective of a bystander...and then there was more before... Lu You watched the change in the man's expression, and a smile appeared on his lips.This time it was a genuinely relaxed, even slightly endearing smile.

Qi Zhengyun saw this smile.He spoke without thinking at all. "Then I've taken it all out now," he said, "won't you touch it?"

He didn't realize that he was going to suffer until the words came out.Lu You was willing to smile at him, not to say that their relationship has become so good, but just now the "Lu You" who seemed strange because of alienation from him overlapped with the "Lu You" whom he missed and longed to reunite as soon as possible .So he forgot the rule of keeping a distance that he reminded himself all the time before, and showed intimacy.But between two people who are still strangers... the sentence just now seemed very bad.

To Qi Zhengyun's surprise, the person who heard this didn't seem to be angry.Lu You's gaze stayed on his face for a few seconds, seeing that he showed a "something bad" expression, and then returned to the tentacle that was frozen in mid-air.He seemed to be hesitating hard for something, and after a while, he nodded in a way so small that it was hard to detect.

Qi Zhengyun didn't react for a while, so Lu You took a step towards him.He raised his hand, paused between touching and repenting, and finally stretched out his heart, and touched the scaled part of the tentacle lightly.

What the human finger felt was cold and hard, almost lifeless, until the tentacle finally unfrozen from its stiffness and carefully bent up to rub against his palm; what the monster's tentacle felt was human softness. The skin was slightly moistened by the cold sweat oozing out of tension, but it was still warmer than the scales.The fingers touched it, appearing gentle because of timidity, and then moved away after a few seconds.

Lu You's expression became a little strange.He didn't say anything more, he put down his hand and held it by his side, turned around and walked towards the bathroom.Qi Zhengyun stood where he was, and took the tentacle back after a while.Before letting it disappear, he lowered his head, stretched out his hand, and gently squeezed the place that had been touched.
