Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

----

Lu You stood in front of the sink and turned the faucet to the maximum, but there was still only a thin stream of water flowing down, and there were a few beeping sounds like bubbles surging from the pipe.He patted the side of the faucet knowingly in vain, and seeing that the situation did not improve, he wondered if it was blocked somewhere...or was it because the water in the kitchen was always on?

Zhao Feng usually acted carelessly. Lu You thought he would calm down in a short time, but he and Qi Zhengyun talked outside for a quarter of an hour. Zhao Feng stayed in the kitchen without moving at all, as if Not ready to come out.Lu You was a little worried about his condition, and planned to talk to Zhao Feng later.

There was also the matter that Qi Zhengyun said that he wanted to live next to him and "protect" him at a close distance...Lu You now calmed down, thinking that this whole incident was a disaster for Zhao Feng, and it was really unreasonable to bother him to move.Why don't you ask Qi Zhengyun if there is a more... suitable place to avoid monster attacks, and then he can move away by himself?But...if this room has left a psychological shadow on Zhao Feng, then he has to find another way to apologize.

Lu You stopped his thoughts, gave up tossing the faucet, and stretched his hands under the thin stream of water.The cold water soaked his palms, and the abnormally low temperature made him shiver like in winter.He flexed and stretched his fingers a few times, and it seemed that the touch on the skin just now hadn't disappeared... The scales covering the tentacles were like black metal, cool and slippery, and there was a shallow raised spot in the center of each piece. When stroking against the growth direction, the thin blade-like edge scrapes across the palm, stabbing the hand slightly.

——Monster.

There are heterogeneous living mixed in the crowd.Even if you see it with your own eyes and feel it with your own hands, it still feels unreal.What's even more untrue is the reason why Qi Zhengyun came to him... Lu You mechanically rubbed his hands under the current, and began to replay in his mind the experience of passing by danger and false alarms on the road before .In terms of frequency, it seems that it is indeed too high, and it can be said to be the result of the "monster" deliberately... But there is no convincing evidence.

Is that black shadow that pulls out the wire barely counted?But that at most proved that Qi Zhengyun was secretly protecting him, but it still couldn't explain the source of the danger.

Qi Zhengyun never showed threats in front of him...except for Zhao Feng's side example.During the conversation, his attitude has always been very sincere, and even though he is obviously a strong party, he has always been cautious, lest he feel afraid.According to Lu You's intuition, that man—let's call him a "human"—does want to protect him, and the reason is just like what he said: out of selfishness.

...However, another situation cannot be ruled out: Qi Zhengyun is a brilliant liar.

Lu You felt that in the previous 20 years of his life, he had lived a completely normal life and knew nothing about the world of "monsters".Now he is suddenly regarded as a prey... Although there is also the possibility of pure coincidence, he is more inclined to have some changes in him or around him-this can be regarded as a kind of intuition.Perhaps, Qi Zhengyun wanted the same thing as those monsters who tried to attack him, but he just adopted more tactful means...

The skin on Lu You's hands turned red, as if it also washed away some inner troubles and entanglements.He put his palms together, let the water gather in his palms, lowered his head and pressed his face into the water.The chill refreshed him.He held his breath for a while, until the water gradually took on his body temperature, and then he let it go, wiped off the remaining water droplets on his face, and raised his head to look at himself in the mirror.

The contours of his facial features are soft, even if he is expressionless at the moment, he doesn't look indifferent, more like he is immersed in his thoughts.Lu You stared at the image in the mirror.The smile that had appeared unconsciously on his lips had disappeared.

Qi Zhengyun... has concealed something.

If the purpose of coming to the rescue was to repay the favor, why didn't you want to be more specific?Even if he still can't remember it, having a specific time and place is more conducive to gaining trust, right?But the man's attitude when he said that... seemed quite certain, and it was impossible for him to recall it.

He doesn't have this part of memory... Isn't he forgetting naturally, but is there another reason?Or is this reason simply fabricated?

This is one of the doubts.In addition, Qi Zhengyun's attitude when explaining the situation to him was also a bit strange.Lu You didn't notice it at the beginning, but just vaguely felt that something was wrong... It wasn't until the most obvious time that he woke up, and then went back to think about it, and then he was sure what was wrong: when the man revealed the identity of the monster, he wanted to put When the tentacles were stretched out for him to see, including later when explaining why he was saved... he would observe him carefully with probing and anticipating gazes; It looks like you're thinking about something.

Analyzing, evaluating...

—Compare.

People's emotions are not as clearly distinguishable as written on the face, and Lu You doesn't know whether the expressions of monsters and humans will be different in this regard.The doubts and even a little disappointment shown by that person made Lu You not sure if he was wrong.

Except for that last time.

Having said such words and revealed such emotions... At that brief moment, Qi Zhengyun seemed to regard him as another person...a person who was close enough to tease and make physical contact naturally.After he reacted and realized that it was not, he became nervous because he was worried that he would be offended-it was this kind of nervousness that made Lu You sure that his guess was not overthinking.Moreover, that kind of "relationship" is probably not an ordinary friend.

Lu You smiled at himself in the mirror, and sighed softly.Why do you have to be particularly sensitive in such a place?

...so dull that you can't feel like it, can't confirm your sincerity, but as long as there is a little bit of falsehood or deviation, it is as clear as ink on white paper, and you can easily detect it.

Of course he didn't feel sad or uncomfortable, after all, Qi Zhengyun was just a stranger to him who wasn't even sure about the danger... He even let out a useless sigh of relief.Because, if Qi Zhengyun didn't come to protect him because of himself, then he wouldn't have to worry about whether or not to give trust, and to what extent.

To be loved and expected means to take responsibility for the response, to pay for the affection that is given.And this is... something that he has been instinctively avoiding and unwilling to experience all this time.

Seriously—if someone likes you, how can you not notice it?

The water stains have dried up, and the face feels a little tight.When Lu You heard the sound of water pouring into the sewer, he came back to his senses. He forgot to turn off the faucet just now.He took some water casually, and was about to close it, but his movements slowed down: he smelled a slight fishy smell.

The fishy smell came from the pool, but it wasn't the smell from the sewer, so it was hard to describe.Lu You raised his wet hand and smelled it, the sudden approaching smell made him a little sick.The flavor comes from the water.Lu You frowned, guessing that the water purifier installed at the water valve might be broken... He went to touch the handle of the faucet, planning to turn off the water first.

His hand did press down, and after the water flow did not decrease, he put in a little more effort-but the handle was only depressed a little.If you want to describe that kind of feeling...it's like, it's pressed against something slightly elastic like rubber...

Lu You let go of his hand.The water flow, which had been small since just now, suddenly became larger.What gushes out of the faucet is no longer a straight column of water, but the "water" twists in the middle of its fall, and after falling into the pool, it does not flow into the sewer again, but separates into many channels, like countless transparent channels. The worm, began to writhe and crawl along the edge of the pool—

Qi Zhengyun sat in the living room, staring at himself reflected on the glass of the coffee table in a daze, but his ears were paying attention to the movement some distance away.When Lu You went to wash his face, he closed the door, and used this subconscious action to isolate himself from him... Although he understood this intention and had the reason that "it may be dangerous to be alone", Qi Zhengyun still let himself go Pay attention to every movement behind that door: Lu You turned on the water; Lu You was washing his hands... After washing for a long time, did you feel uncomfortable after touching his tentacles?

The sound of the water stabilized.He finished washing and the faucet was still on.What was he thinking during this silent time?

The breath of the monster appeared at this time.At the same time as he noticed the abnormality, the figure of the man on the sofa disappeared.The ejected tentacles were faster than the body movements, and they arrived at the door in less than a second. They were worried that the people behind the door would be injured if they broke in roughly, so they delayed opening the door for a while—— Even though the bathroom door was ripped off entirely.

When Qi Zhengyun passed by, Lu You was retreating from the pool.He didn't seem panicked when he saw "Water Flow" alive. In his instant reaction, the option of "run out" was listed before "call for help to the monster outside that is said to protect him", so he was still thinking while backing away. He wanted to open the door, but he was frightened by the sound of the bathroom door and the tentacles swarming in.

The latter half was swallowed back forcefully by him, and the direction of avoidance was forcibly reversed from the door to the bathroom—almost twisted his foot because of it.As for the reason for this subconscious reaction, he wanted to make room for Qi Zhengyun, or he was simply frightened by the movement and gesture of his intrusion, even he himself could not be sure.

Qi Zhengyun's attention was all on the pool.Those water streams that climbed up collapsed the moment he approached, turning into countless tiny water droplets, and fled to the sewer mouth below in a hurry—they rolled down instead of flowing down, just like the small round drops The water drops are hard crystals.In this regard, Qi Zhengyun reacted quickly and did two things at the same time: picked up the mouthwash cup by the pool, and buckled it to the place where the water droplets are most dense; and converted the nearby water into seawater.

This transparent monster with an amorphous body is like a cluster of small individuals with a shared consciousness. Except for those in the pool, there are still many stuck in the water pipes that have not had time to come out.The seawater surged up along the two pipes at the same time. The pipe vibrated, and a large mass of transparent stuff was squeezed out from the water outlet. It refused to drip, and quickly wrapped around the faucet and spread backwards.

Qi Zhengyun couldn't control the water so meticulously, he directly set off a small wave, and poured the disgusting thing thoroughly.The monster let out a silent scream. The sea water containing salt and its power seemed very unfriendly to it. Its body was surrounded by rapidly bursting foam like limestone doused with acid.

If not, Qi Zhengyun, who is better at physical attacks, is not sure how to deal with it.It is easy to eliminate now, the weak aura of this monster that was not noticed until it got close to this level, it seems that it is either good at hiding, or simply weak.After just a few seconds, the water flow receded, and those water droplets that could move against the laws of nature had all melted away.Qi Zhengyun lifted the glass mouthwash cup in his hand, and on the bottom of the upside-down cup, there was still a small ball of transparent substance that had escaped and stuck there tremblingly.

Before he tried it again with other methods, the mass lost its shape and turned into a real stream of water, flowing down the wall of the mouthwash cup.

Weak things that are easy to solve if they are discovered in time - Qi Zhengyun made an evaluation in his heart.At the same time, slight doubts flashed across: Since this thing came along the water pipe... Last time, when Lu You took a shower after arriving home, why didn't it show up?Is it because the time is different, did you go to another place at that time?

There was a gurgling sound in the sewer, and the seawater that had accumulated half of the pool was swallowed up.Qi Zhengyun turned his head away, wanting to comfort Lu You that he was fine, but saw Lu You stuck to the edge of the screen window, staring at him.He glanced blankly at the mouthwash cup that had been filled with the remains of the monster in his hand, and was about to wash it and put it away. When he turned his head and looked at the glasses, he realized that his tentacles were still around, ready to go. status.

"...Sorry." Qi Zhengyun said, and quickly put them away.Lu You's face turned pale, and he didn't speak, just shook his head.He reached out to support the wall, and then seemed to think of something suddenly, and his expression suddenly became wrong.

"...Water in the kitchen...?"

Only then did Qi Zhengyun think of sensing the neighbor, and then turned around without saying a word.Lu You chased him out, and fell a few steps behind. When he ran to the kitchen door, he happened to see Qi Zhengyun dragging Zhao Feng, who was curled up under the kitchen counter, from the ground.The faucet was turned on, and there were several water marks on the ground. After being patted by Qi Zhengyun, Zhao Feng made a retching sound, then coughed and began to spit out clear water.

"He's fine, he just suffocated for a while." Qi Zhengyun said.The monster who came here was at the same time as Lu You, and they died together just now, less than half a minute later.There was no blood in the coughed up water, and the lungs did not appear to have been injured.

Lu You ran over and supported the half-dead man who was still trying to stay away from the monster behind him, and Qi Zhengyun let go.Rather than worrying about this person having an accident and making Lu You feel bad about him, he is thinking about another problem at the moment: the choice of prey by monsters is conditional, not that they can eat whoever they meet .

The sea water he transformed flows along the pipeline, and the feedback information shows that the monster has been living here for a while.Hungry monsters are greedy by nature, and there is no situation where someone who already meets the requirements refuses to eat.If it's Lu You's side, it can be said that it's because of the breath of death... His roommate will then have an accident, how to explain it?

Not a good feeling.Qi Zhengyun looked at the window, and a new breath was approaching.During the time he was talking with Lu You, nothing happened. Those things that were lured by the breath of death settled down for a while, and then started to move again one after another.

He took a few steps to the window and looked downstairs. The gray-haired girl who was walking downstairs raised her head at the same time as if feeling something, and met his eyes from a few floors away.
