Let me live [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 190 Round 3.14

"Ah!"
A car passed by, and Lu You sneezed.He rubbed his nose, looking at the flying dust with some doubts.There seemed to be some sparkling powder floating in the air, accompanied by an inexplicable aroma spreading around.
Qi Zhengyun frowned slightly: the trace of the monster's breath that he noticed just now became elusive, like a drop of ink that fell into clear water and spread out, undetectable, but ubiquitous.The thing that flew away looked like a moth magnified several times, its wings were the size of a palm, and it came out of a subway station. It immediately reminded him of the human face moth mentioned in the notebook—it's a pity that Hui Hui only relied on Interest records, except for the special wing pattern, did not take the initiative to collect information about habits, hunting methods, etc. that are more useful than interesting.
When he saw the "dust" with fine glitter and thought about the scales on the wings of moths, he immediately became vigilant. He felt that it would not be a good thing to stay here for too long, so he held Lu You's hand tightly and prepared to leave at a faster pace. .Lu You was trying to identify the source of the fragrance, and while being pulled forward by Qi Zhengyun, he looked around to see if there were any flowers blooming nearby.
Qi Zhengyun noticed Lu You's movements.He, who should have been more sensitive, didn't smell anything, so he was a little puzzled, "What are you looking for?" He asked.
"Didn't you smell it? It smells like flowers..." Lu You said, thinking maybe the pollen was blown over by the wind, making his nose itchy.The fragrance is very soft, faintly floating in the air, like a mixture of many kinds of floral fragrances, it's hard to describe, but it smells good.He unconsciously wanted to trace the source, but he could smell the car exhaust, the trees and soil on the road, the surrounding pedestrians and even the underground soil, but Qi Zhengyun, who had no scent of flowers, knew something was wrong, and immediately raised his hand and pulled Lu You Covered his nose and mouth together.
"Don't breathe." He whispered, Lu You subconsciously held his breath, and then felt his feet leave the ground.Qi Zhengyun held him under his arm like a weightless rag doll, and quickly avoided the direction away from the subway station—for fear of attracting the attention of the people around him and making Lu You uncomfortable, he didn't dare to increase the speed too high.The air poured into the gap after the movement, and the powder chased after it, but was blown away by the surging air flow, and was soon left behind, out of reach.
Before Lu You held his breath, he didn't have time to inhale, and it didn't take long before he felt his lungs start to tighten.He tried hard and endured for a while, his face turned red, and finally he couldn't bear to break Qi Zhengyun's tightly covered palm.Qi Zhengyun arrived at the next intersection in one breath in this short period of time. He slowed down, made sure that nothing was following him, and then let go of his hand cautiously.
Lu You took a long breath the moment he was allowed to breathe -- then coughed and gasped.
Qi Zhengyun stroked his back regretfully.Lu You had already realized that he might have encountered a monster just now. He panted for a while, and when he was able to speak, he took the initiative to report the situation unsteadily: "Now...now I can't smell it..." His face was flushed, and his eyes The water light is looming, but this is just holding your breath.Qi Zhengyun looked him over carefully a few times, and it seemed that there was nothing abnormal for the time being, but for the sake of caution, he asked again: "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Lu You finally calmed down and shook his head in denial.He was a little hot, but it should only be due to the sun and the suffocation just now.The nose is no longer itchy, and there are no other obvious abnormalities.If he had to say something... He touched his chest hesitantly, feeling that the heart in his chest was beating so fast.The blood was roaring, and he could almost hear the drum-like thumping in his ears.
Qi Zhengyun probably thought that his movement was because he felt uncomfortable, so he followed suit with his hand.Lu You didn't react, and moved his hand blankly to let him touch it, until Qi Zhengyun's palm really touched his chest, and then it was completely attached, and he felt completely different from the feeling when he touched it. god.
It was just a little bit of a rapid heartbeat just now, but it suddenly intensified again, as if struggling to escape from another person's palm, jumping out of the throat and fleeing.Lu You's face was flushed, and his eyes couldn't help turning to the side, avoiding communication.Qi Zhengyun looked at him fixedly, and took his hand back after a few seconds.
"I didn't smell the aroma you mentioned...it should be the way that monster hunted." The man said nonchalantly, "After all, you inhaled a little, so I'm not sure what effect it will have. If you feel something is wrong, tell me immediately. I."
Seeing that Lu You nodded in response, but his eyes were still avoiding him, Qi Zhengyun paused for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but finally raised his hand again, and rubbed Lu You's head that was messed up by the wind all the way just now. Bundle. "Go home." He said, but changed his focus just after finishing speaking, "No...we'd better go to the hospital first."
They found a "cleaner" in the hospital who used to get the venom out of Lu You's body. The ghost-like translucent monster circled Lu You twice and left without doing anything.Whether it's really okay, or there's a problem and it can't be dealt with, there's not much else that can be done to prevent it as it stands.
After returning home, everything was as usual.Nothing happened until bedtime.
Although Qi Zhengyun was always suspicious, Lu You's physical condition reflected that it was normal, and he never smelled that fragrance again.Even during this period of time, there would be at least one or two attacks by little monsters, but this day did not come, and the calmness seemed a little weird.In the end, what bothered Lu You the most came back to the original problem - when it was time to go to bed, he climbed onto the bed, Qi Zhengyun helped him turn off the light, kissed him in the dark, and then walked out of the room. left.
...and still nothing happened.
Hearing the sound of closing the door, Lu You opened his eyes again and stared at the ceiling above.After his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, the outline of the overhead light gradually emerged from a mass of blurred color blocks, but his mood was still a mess that he couldn't distinguish clearly. He couldn't confirm whether it was regret, anxiety, or actually relieved... ...The tense feeling that the stomach seems to be wringing up and falling heavily, will appear every time while waiting, and then slowly disappear when nothing is waiting like this.
Just now, when Qi Zhengyun's lips left his lips, should he have said something, or even reached out and grabbed the corner of the man's clothes to actively express his intention to stay?Lu You thought about this, but when he should take action, his body seemed to be frozen, unable to move at all.
He seemed to have a feeling that Qi Zhengyun should also be waiting for him, waiting for him to give a clear signal when he was fully awake.But the strange thing is... no matter how much I encourage myself, how much information I have checked and how many imaginations I have, I just can't take this step.He had thought well before, but when he came to a critical moment, he had to back down again.
Repeatedly hesitated, hesitated back and forth.At this point, it seems that something has changed from a natural relationship to a task that is written on the schedule and must be completed...
——Why, do you have to wait for him to give it to you?Be a little tougher and take the initiative to get it, can't you?
Lu You knew that such thinking was too passive.He tried to reflect and adjust, but instead, a trace of grievance appeared inexplicably in his heart.But after the grievance, what followed was some kind of cold self-mockery as if it came from a bystander.
Let's go to sleep.When you fall asleep, you don't have to think about these messy things anymore.Lu You turned sideways, rolled up half of the quilt into his arms, tossed and turned for a while, couldn't help opening his eyes several times, staring at the darkness in the corner of the room, suspecting that there was something hidden there.I don't know how long it took before he fell asleep in a daze.
In the dim dreamland, it seems that there are wings flapping gently, and shimmering powder falls down...
Through the bedroom wall, Qi Zhengyun heard Lu You's heartbeat suddenly quicken.The person who took a long time to fall asleep just now seemed to have fallen into a nightmare quickly, and his body temperature and breathing rate began to rise.He stood up from the sofa with some doubts and more vigilance. After a little hesitation, he chose to push the bedroom door open in human form and walked into the dark room.
Lu You felt breathless in the dream.
...the body...is so hot...
The sweltering heat, like a layer of plastic wrap tightly wrapped around his body, made him wake up from a dream that he couldn't remember clearly, but only knew that it was extremely chaotic and depressing, and tired - in fact, he just thought he was waking up coming.Limbs were as heavy as lead, and the sweat-soaked pajamas clung to her body, which was extremely uncomfortable.He opened his eyes, and in the dim field of vision, he could barely make out the figure standing by the bed.
...Qi Zhengyun?He wanted to speak, but his throat seemed to have been thirsty for too long, and he only made a very small sound.The heart was beating wildly.why is it so hotIs the air conditioner broken?
Qi Zhengyun bent down, and Lu You felt a soft touch on his side face.The man's fingers were cold, as if they had just been soaked in ice water, which brought a little precious coolness to his hot and restless body - of course, what Qi Zhengyun got from his skin was the exact opposite temperature.
"You're so hot..."
Lu You heard the man speak in a low voice.His voice was a little more hoarse than usual, so it revealed a strange and dangerous feeling.
Something surged in the darkness, crawled onto the bed, and penetrated into the quilt—another cold touch that was different from fingertips wrapped around Lu You's calf, and gradually tightened it with an irresistible force.While the hand on the cheek slowly slid down, the tentacles covered with fine scales were tightly attached to the warm human skin, and began to snake upward like a snake.
----
Qi Zhengyun bent down and heard Lu You's breathing became more rapid.The alien's eyes can still see without hindrance in the dark, and the fact that the light is not turned on does not prevent the man from seeing Lu You's state clearly: his cheeks are flushed, his teeth are clenched on his lower lip, as if he is enduring some kind of discomfort.
What is this dream about?Qi Zhengyun thought, stretching out his hand as if feeling something, but before touching the body of the sleeping person, he suddenly stopped and looked up to the window of the room.The drawn curtains blocked the outside scene, but his keen perception of the monster's breath made him seem to "see" the whole process of the little black spot flying from a distance and falling lightly onto the glass.
Just at the moment when the moth's wings made the last shock before they finished falling, a black shadow flashed past and hit it accurately.The huge momentum did not knock it into the air, but at the same time as the impact occurred, there was a soft "snap", the slurry shot out, and the moth's soft body directly became a small puddle of mud.Its wings were torn apart, a cloud of dusty silver-gray powder exploded in mid-air, a few drops of sticky liquid splashed outside the glass, and as the cloud of dust diffused, it was covered with a gray cloud. color.
Qi Zhengyun prevented the moth from flapping its wings, but the successful kill seemed to make the situation worse. "Lu You!" He whispered, and at the same time grabbed the shoulder of the young man on the bed without hesitation, trying to wake Lu You from his deep sleep.Lu You's body was tense, as if he was wrestling with something. After being touched by Qi Zhengyun and grasped tightly, he changed his posture meekly following the strength of his hand - but he still didn't wake up.
The heat radiating from his body, the hair and skin soaked in sweat, seemed to be brewing a sweltering midsummer rain around him.Qi Zhengyun saw some shiny powder seeping in through the cracks of the poorly sealed windows, and sensed that there were more such things approaching here from the distant night.Although his heart began to sink in an ominous premonition at this moment, there was no more time to confirm the situation or research countermeasures.
He lifted the quilt, picked Lu You up from the bed, who was obviously in an abnormally lethargic state, and prepared to evacuate.Lu You's body was limply hot in his arms, exuding an unmistakable aura of lust|desire.
Damn... Are those powders an aphrodisiac?Qi Zhengyun gritted his teeth lightly in the anger that everything was touched by external forces, but he felt that the matter might not be so simple - because Lu You's heartbeat was faster than before, it had already exceeded "excitement", and gradually moved towards a dangerous level .The rapid heartbeat caused the blush on his cheeks to fade away, and he became pale. His breathing became more and more rapid, but also became lighter and lighter. I am afraid that it will not be long before he will fall into a situation of hypoxia and suffocation.
The moisture content in the air around Qi Zhengyun is rapidly increasing, and the water droplets condense, carrying the salty sea water breath out of thin air, wrapping into a thin water curtain to cover Lu You's mouth and nose, filtering out the air for him. Dust of unknown effect.Such fine control is not a small burden for Qi Zhengyun's unrecovered strength level at this moment, and it may accelerate suffocation, but it is already the best way he can think of.
Moths settled on the window panes.From one or two at the beginning, there will soon be more and more, densely covering all the light-transmitting gaps.The dust, which is difficult to detect and even more difficult to guard against, is blowing and spreading in the distance along the night wind, as if it will be everywhere soon...
Qi Zhengyun stared at the window, moved lightly to avoid violently disturbing the air, retreated outside the bedroom door, and prepared to leave through the window on the side of the kitchen.He could feel that the moths were starting to stir again with his actions, flapping their wings again in the night... They seemed to be unaware of the danger, only governed by the instinctive urge to eat, turning a deaf ear to the death of their first companions , wholeheartedly chasing in the direction where the "prey" evacuated.
----
Lu You felt the shaking, several times of sudden weightlessness, as if being hugged and dropped from a high place, and then moved extremely fast.But these vaguely perceived abnormalities are always unable to attract enough attention, and every time they are just produced, they are covered up by more intense sensory washouts.
He has never realized that he is still dreaming... The dream caused by the scale powder trapped him.The reality that occasionally shines into the dream through the cracks, after being mixed with the illusion in the dream and distorted, further blurs the boundary between reality and falsehood, turning it into an even more indistinguishable chaos.
Suffocation is real, kisses are hallucinations; hugs are real, the intention of intimacy is hallucinations; bumps like being thrown into crests and troughs are partly real, deepening the frenzy that hinders lucidity; Okay, but this part was always blank throughout the whole process—but Lu You never got a model that could be used as a comparison, so he couldn't realize it and wake up after all.
The lips parted, but no air was drawn in.The sounds of the surrounding world completely disappeared, only the blood rushing and the heart beating wildly, making the noise from inside resound in the ears.Lu You stared blankly at the top, broken light and shadow flickered in his vision.What he was experiencing was a very strange feeling, as if being gradually eroded by the darkness without concrete form.There is only a thin layer of skin left in the body, and the original things inside are taken out to fill in the foreign things little by little... The result is just the opposite of "fullness", and there is only heat to be burned to ashes. , and endless emptiness.
But if so, why is his heart beating so fast?If you run with all your strength until you are exhausted, you will fall to the ground and die in the next second.
The overlapping dusty wings of the moths act as a barrier to dull perception.Outside the barrier, someone called his name and hugged his body tightly—this was an attempt to wake him up, but it was once again distorted by the dream built on the power of monsters.In the end, what Lu You got was that someone called him, hugged him tightly, then bent down towards him, and put his lips close to his ear.
That's it, said the satiated monster softly.
Lu You felt dazed for a while.Is that all...?
Yes.This is the highest point.If it continues, there will only be an endless downward fall.
Only to fall endlessly...?
Unknowingly, that person's voice became his own, with a strange, bewitching and gentle tone, directly ringing in the depths of his mind.Even so, those who listened attentively did not notice anything unusual.Lu You seemed to smell a familiar fragrance, but he couldn't remember when he smelled it.Yep...can't be wrong.This, he thought, was what he really thought deep down.
The moths that had settled in the room and covered the walls flew up, and the windows opened without a sound.The cool wind surged into the house, lifted the curtains, and passed through his empty body.How sad it is to have nothing after giving yourself up, but how relaxing it is...
Rather than being discarded as worthless garbage and left alone in the dark like that time, why not take the initiative to end it at this moment of reaching the highest point?
Lu You lowered his head and realized that at some point, he was standing on the edge of the window sill.The curtain rolled and stretched in the wind, stroking the side of his body gently.The ground and lights are under his feet, as if some kind of welcome ceremony, which made him smile involuntarily in a dreamlike daze—everything he wanted to try has already been experienced, and what he wanted to repay has already been paid off.Now, he just feels tired.
It should be over.
——Just before stepping into the wind, a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in Lu You's heart.
It seems...something is not quite right.
The logic that should have been running smoothly all the way got stuck, and Lu You's movements stopped.The moths landed on his shoulders and hands, nudging him with their soft wings, urging him to put into practice the self-destructive thoughts he had had as soon as possible.But Lu You didn't move.He was still standing on the window sill, and he didn't notice the sudden stop of the wind, but followed the trace of doubt wholeheartedly back to the source.
——I have nothing after handing myself over...
——Why do you say that?
In his nearly 20 years of life, "patience" and "evasion" are indeed the two most important rules of conduct.She seldom expresses her inner emotions, seldom actively pursues anything, as if the most important thing to live in this world is, as my mother has emphasized many times on the phone..."Don't trouble others".So timid, cowardly, and passive.Such a meaningless life should yearn for the end; it should yearn for the affirmed value, and in order to avoid being denied again, make the most thorough escape—fleeing to death.
……Is it really?
Lu You looked into his heart, his eyes passed through many years, countless people and things, and finally reached the critical inflection point after birth, the second turning point of life and the decision of the way forward.The child who was thrown by his mother to his father, and then abandoned by his father at will, raised his head in the empty and dusty home and looked back at him.
Behold, whispered the child, love cannot be trusted.
Enthusiasm fades, vows fade, blood ties fade.No one can be trusted.
So he doesn't want anything, and he doesn't want to give anything.
So timid, cowardly, passive...so...indifferent and stingy...
If he just treats himself as an item and sends it out with gratitude, why did he turn a blind eye to how many opportunities to achieve such a purpose before that?Until Qi Zhengyun appeared.Although the "trust" was finally punctured in the middle, it was a fantasy, but an illusory dream still really moved him to some extent.
In return for being tempted by this, he decided to "accept"—to accept that love, but also accept the foreseeable painful consequences.He issued a pass to Qi Zhengyun, allowing the man to come in and take what he wanted.It's like a gift... Although the attitude is so low, it seems that you can ask for anything, but in fact--what an arrogant way to do it.
He had long since lost his fear of the ending.Qi Zhengyun probably didn't understand his thoughts.Although he is in a disadvantaged position and seems to have no right to choose, but in this two-way "emotional" relationship, it is Qi Zhengyun who wants something from him.Therefore, it should be him who takes the lead——
At the moment when this thought came to mind, Lu You vaguely heard a roar that seemed very far away, yet seemed to be close to his ear.The anger and grief contained in this voice shook the air, causing the window sill under Lu You's feet to collapse like a sand sculpture—along with the room behind him, the night sky above, and the lights below that bloomed like flowers in the darkness, all of them. Cracked and shattered into a thousand shiny pieces.The dream world was shattered while being aware of its fictional nature, and Lu You felt a sharp pain in his chest.
It seemed that when the dream was shattered, his heart also cracked.
Lu You opened his eyes in a blinding white light.Until this moment, he really woke up.Someone was holding him, and warm liquid was pouring out from his nasal cavity and the corners of his mouth.The pain climbed to the peak after a short moment, and then fell suddenly as if being anesthetized——Lu You could see clearly what was happening in front of him.
The surroundings were not the room where he fell asleep, but a place with pale lights, and countless paper-like things were falling from mid-air.There are complex and realistic patterns on it. During the flipping, it seems that many eyes blink, many lips open and close, many broken human faces, and the color keeps falling and dimming... until finally, it turns into dust and drifts away.
It was the scaled, patterned wings of a moth.
Like the ashes of something burnt...
The man who was offering arms to the dying man lowered his head, and Lu You met Qi Zhengyun's eyes in his gradually blurred vision.There was no expression on Qi Zhengyun's face, only a pair of red eyes revealed the fact that his heart was like a beast.
——When he realized that Yuanyuan could avoid those moths, but could not prevent Lu You's condition from deteriorating, he turned to fight back.Intrude into the depths of this group of monsters' lairs, kill all of their individuals that can be seen, and hope that the state is under their control, and the hunting process will naturally stop after they are all dead .
The result was obvious: he failed.
The moths had no intelligence at all, and no stratagem.The moment he breathed in the scale powder, he had already stepped into a deadly trap.Whether they are alive or dead after that, everything will happen irreversibly: fall into a dream after falling asleep, the heart beats continuously until tired and exhausted, and the toxin that brings abnormal heat finally makes people bleed.
Qi Zhengyun didn't even know how Lu You woke up.Originally, he was convinced that Lu You would face death in a deep sleep, and he no longer expected to say goodbye. The only luck in the pain was that at least the dreamer would not feel the pain... So at this moment, seeing Lu You opened his eyes, He was stunned instead.
Lu You's mind was spinning in a strange calm, connecting the dream, the reality through the dream, and the current status quo.If he had really jumped in the dream just now, he would have stopped breathing suddenly in reality... Unfortunately, although he woke up, it was still too late.Although the spirit returns to clarity at the last moment, it will eventually be brought back into chaos with the collapse of the body.
The ashes fell like a swirling fine snow.Lu You looked into Qi Zhengyun's eyes, thinking that as expected, he would see a look of indifference, or just a little regret - but what he was looking at was a person who was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with the loss.It's strange, since when... Lu You thought about it this way, thought about it for a while, and then stopped thinking about it.He tried to smile at Qi Zhengyun, as a farewell or comfort, but he didn't have the strength to move the corners of his lips anymore.
It turns out that what I want is not only your love, but I also want to try to love you...
But he has been unfamiliar with the skill of "love" for too long.So much so that he didn't even notice his true mood.
Sorry, didn't wake up until the end.I didn't take the initiative to approach you one step before, wasting such a good time...
Qi Zhengyun saw Lu You's lips move slightly, but did not make a sound.He thought that Lu You wanted to say something, so he forced himself to wake up from the stagnation with difficulty, and hurriedly leaned towards those pale lips after blood loss.But he didn't get a single message, but a light touch on the edge of his ear.
This kiss was cold, yet infinitely gentle because of its slightness.After that, Lu You didn't make any further gestures, just closed his eyes and stopped breathing quietly.
"Ah!"
A car passed by, and Lu You sneezed.He rubbed his nose, looking at the flying dust with some doubts.There seemed to be some sparkling powder floating in the air, accompanied by an inexplicable aroma spreading around.
Qi Zhengyun frowned slightly: the trace of the monster's breath that he noticed just now became elusive, like a drop of ink that fell into clear water and spread out, undetectable, but ubiquitous.The thing that flew away looked like a moth magnified several times, its wings were the size of a palm, and it came out of a subway station.

The sweltering heat, like a layer of plastic wrap tightly wrapped around his body, made him wake up from a dream that he couldn't remember clearly, but only knew that it was extremely chaotic and depressing, and tired - in fact, he just thought he was waking up coming.Limbs were as heavy as lead, and the sweat-soaked pajamas clung to her body, which was extremely uncomfortable.He opened his eyes, and in the dim field of vision, he could barely make out the figure standing by the bed.
...Qi Zhengyun?He wanted to speak, but his throat seemed to have been thirsty for too long, and he only made a very small sound.The heart was beating wildly.why is it so hotIs the air conditioner broken?
Qi Zhengyun bent down, and Lu You felt a soft touch on his side face.The man's fingers were cold, as if they had just been soaked in ice water, which brought a little precious coolness to his hot and restless body - of course, what Qi Zhengyun got from his skin was the exact opposite temperature.
"You're so hot..."
Lu You heard the man speak in a low voice.His voice was a little more hoarse than usual, so it revealed a strange and dangerous feeling.
Something surged in the darkness, crawled onto the bed, and penetrated into the quilt—another cold touch that was different from fingertips wrapped around Lu You's calf, and gradually tightened it with an irresistible force.While the hand on the cheek slowly slid down, the tentacles covered with fine scales were tightly attached to the warm human skin, and began to snake upward like a snake.
----
Qi Zhengyun bent down and heard Lu You's breathing became more rapid.The alien's eyes can still see without hindrance in the dark, and the fact that the light is not turned on does not prevent the man from seeing Lu You's state clearly: his cheeks are flushed, his teeth are clenched on his lower lip, as if he is enduring some kind of discomfort.
What is this dream about?Qi Zhengyun thought, stretching out his hand as if feeling something, but before touching the body of the sleeping person, he suddenly stopped and looked up to the window of the room.The drawn curtains blocked the outside scene, but his keen perception of the monster's breath made him seem to "see" the whole process of the little black spot flying from a distance and falling lightly onto the glass.
Just at the moment when the moth's wings made the last shock before they finished falling, a black shadow flashed past and hit it accurately.The huge momentum did not knock it into the air, but at the same time as the impact occurred, there was a soft "snap", the slurry shot out, and the moth's soft body directly became a small puddle of mud.Its wings were torn apart, a cloud of dusty silver-gray powder exploded in mid-air, a few drops of sticky liquid splashed outside the glass, and as the cloud of dust diffused, it was covered with a gray cloud. color.
Qi Zhengyun prevented the moth from flapping its wings, but the successful kill seemed to make the situation worse. "Lu You!" He whispered, and at the same time grabbed the shoulder of the young man on the bed without hesitation, trying to wake Lu You from his deep sleep.Lu You's body was tense, as if he was wrestling with something. After being touched by Qi Zhengyun and grasped tightly, he changed his posture meekly following the strength of his hand - but he still didn't wake up.
The heat radiating from his body, the hair and skin soaked in sweat, seemed to be brewing a sweltering midsummer rain around him.Qi Zhengyun saw some shiny powder seeping in through the cracks of the poorly sealed windows, and sensed that there were more such things approaching here from the distant night.Although his heart began to sink in an ominous premonition at this moment, there was no more time to confirm the situation or research countermeasures.
He lifted the quilt, picked Lu You up from the bed, who was obviously in an abnormally lethargic state, and prepared to evacuate.Lu You's body was limply hot in his arms, exuding an unmistakable aura of lust|desire.
Damn... Are those powders an aphrodisiac?Qi Zhengyun gritted his teeth lightly in the anger that everything was touched by external forces, but he felt that the matter might not be so simple - because Lu You's heartbeat was faster than before, it had already exceeded "excitement", and gradually moved towards a dangerous level .The rapid heartbeat caused the blush on his cheeks to fade away, and he became pale. His breathing became more and more rapid, but also became lighter and lighter. I am afraid that it will not be long before he will fall into a situation of hypoxia and suffocation.
The moisture content in the air around Qi Zhengyun is rapidly increasing, and the water droplets condense, carrying the salty sea water breath out of thin air, wrapping into a thin water curtain to cover Lu You's mouth and nose, filtering out the air for him. Dust of unknown effect.Such fine control is not a small burden for Qi Zhengyun's unrecovered strength level at this moment, and it may accelerate suffocation, but it is already the best way he can think of.
Moths settled on the window panes.From one or two at the beginning, there will soon be more and more, densely covering all the light-transmitting gaps.The dust, which is difficult to detect and even more difficult to guard against, is blowing and spreading in the distance along the night wind, as if it will be everywhere soon...
Qi Zhengyun stared at the window, moved lightly to avoid violently disturbing the air, retreated outside the bedroom door, and prepared to leave through the window on the side of the kitchen.He could feel that the moths were starting to stir again with his actions, flapping their wings again in the night... They seemed to be unaware of the danger, only governed by the instinctive urge to eat, turning a deaf ear to the death of their first companions , wholeheartedly chasing in the direction where the "prey" evacuated.
----
Lu You felt the shaking, several times of sudden weightlessness, as if being hugged and dropped from a high place, and then moved extremely fast.But these vaguely perceived abnormalities are always unable to attract enough attention, and every time they are just produced, they are covered up by more intense sensory washouts.
He has never realized that he is still dreaming... The dream caused by the scale powder trapped him.The reality that occasionally shines into the dream through the cracks, after being mixed with the illusion in the dream and distorted, further blurs the boundary between reality and falsehood, turning it into an even more indistinguishable chaos.
Suffocation is real, kisses are hallucinations; hugs are real, the intention of intimacy is hallucinations; bumps like being thrown into crests and troughs are partly real, deepening the frenzy that hinders lucidity; Okay, but this part was always blank throughout the whole process—but Lu You never got a model that could be used as a comparison, so he couldn't realize it and wake up after all.
The lips parted, but no air was drawn in.The sounds of the surrounding world completely disappeared, only the blood rushing and the heart beating wildly, making the noise from inside resound in the ears.Lu You stared blankly at the top, broken light and shadow flickered in his vision.What he was experiencing was a very strange feeling, as if being gradually eroded by the darkness without concrete form.There is only a thin layer of skin left in the body, and the original things inside are taken out to fill in the foreign things little by little... The result is just the opposite of "fullness", and there is only heat to be burned to ashes. , and endless emptiness.
But if so, why is his heart beating so fast?If you run with all your strength until you are exhausted, you will fall to the ground and die in the next second.
The overlapping dusty wings of the moths act as a barrier to dull perception.Outside the barrier, someone called his name and hugged his body tightly—this was an attempt to wake him up, but it was once again distorted by the dream built on the power of monsters.In the end, what Lu You got was that someone called him, hugged him tightly, then bent down towards him, and put his lips close to his ear.
That's it, said the satiated monster softly.
Lu You felt dazed for a while.Is that all...?
Yes.This is the highest point.If it continues, there will only be an endless downward fall.
Only to fall endlessly...?
Unknowingly, that person's voice became his own, with a strange, bewitching and gentle tone, directly ringing in the depths of his mind.Even so, those who listened attentively did not notice anything unusual.Lu You seemed to smell a familiar fragrance, but he couldn't remember when he smelled it.Yep...can't be wrong.This, he thought, was what he really thought deep down.
The moths that had settled in the room and covered the walls flew up, and the windows opened without a sound.The cool wind surged into the house, lifted the curtains, and passed through his empty body.How sad it is to have nothing after giving yourself up, but how relaxing it is...
Rather than being discarded as worthless garbage and left alone in the dark like that time, why not take the initiative to end it at this moment of reaching the highest point?
Lu You lowered his head and realized that at some point, he was standing on the edge of the window sill.The curtain rolled and stretched in the wind, stroking the side of his body gently.The ground and lights are under his feet, as if some kind of welcome ceremony, which made him smile involuntarily in a dreamlike daze—everything he wanted to try has already been experienced, and what he wanted to repay has already been paid off.Now, he just feels tired.
It should be over.
——Just before stepping into the wind, a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in Lu You's heart.
It seems...something is not quite right.
The logic that should have been running smoothly all the way got stuck, and Lu You's movements stopped.The moths landed on his shoulders and hands, nudging him with their soft wings, urging him to put into practice the self-destructive thoughts he had had as soon as possible.But Lu You didn't move.He was still standing on the window sill, and he didn't notice the sudden stop of the wind, but followed the trace of doubt wholeheartedly back to the source.
——I have nothing after handing myself over...
——Why do you say that?
In his nearly 20 years of life, "patience" and "evasion" are indeed the two most important rules of conduct.She seldom expresses her inner emotions, seldom actively pursues anything, as if the most important thing to live in this world is, as my mother has emphasized many times on the phone..."Don't trouble others".So timid, cowardly, and passive.Such a meaningless life should yearn for the end; it should yearn for the affirmed value, and in order to avoid being denied again, make the most thorough escape—fleeing to death.
……Is it really?
Lu You looked into his heart, his eyes passed through many years, countless people and things, and finally reached the critical inflection point after birth, the second turning point of life and the decision of the way forward.The child who was thrown by his mother to his father, and then abandoned by his father at will, raised his head in the empty and dusty home and looked back at him.
Behold, whispered the child, love cannot be trusted.
Enthusiasm fades, vows fade, blood ties fade.No one can be trusted.
So he doesn't want anything, and he doesn't want to give anything.
So timid, cowardly, passive...so...indifferent and stingy...
If he just treats himself as an item and sends it out with gratitude, why did he turn a blind eye to how many opportunities to achieve such a purpose before that?Until Qi Zhengyun appeared.Although the "trust" was finally punctured in the middle, it was a fantasy, but an illusory dream still really moved him to some extent.
In return for being tempted by this, he decided to "accept"—to accept that love, but also accept the foreseeable painful consequences.He issued a pass to Qi Zhengyun, allowing the man to come in and take what he wanted.It's like a gift... Although the attitude is so low, it seems that you can ask for anything, but in fact--what an arrogant way to do it.
He had long since lost his fear of the ending.Qi Zhengyun probably didn't understand his thoughts.Although he is in a disadvantaged position and seems to have no right to choose, but in this two-way "emotional" relationship, it is Qi Zhengyun who wants something from him.Therefore, it should be him who takes the lead——
At the moment when this thought came to mind, Lu You vaguely heard a roar that seemed very far away, yet seemed to be close to his ear.The anger and grief contained in this voice shook the air, causing the window sill under Lu You's feet to collapse like a sand sculpture—along with the room behind him, the night sky above, and the lights below that bloomed like flowers in the darkness, all of them. Cracked and shattered into a thousand shiny pieces.The dream world was shattered while being aware of its fictional nature, and Lu You felt a sharp pain in his chest.
It seemed that when the dream was shattered, his heart also cracked.
Lu You opened his eyes in a blinding white light.Until this moment, he really woke up.Someone was holding him, and warm liquid was pouring out from his nasal cavity and the corners of his mouth.The pain climbed to the peak after a short moment, and then fell suddenly as if being anesthetized——Lu You could see clearly what was happening in front of him.
The surroundings were not the room where he fell asleep, but a place with pale lights, and countless paper-like things were falling from mid-air.There are complex and realistic patterns on it. During the flipping, it seems that many eyes blink, many lips open and close, many broken human faces, and the color keeps falling and dimming... until finally, it turns into dust and drifts away.
It was the scaled, patterned wings of a moth.
Like the ashes of something burnt...
The man who was offering arms to the dying man lowered his head, and Lu You met Qi Zhengyun's eyes in his gradually blurred vision.There was no expression on Qi Zhengyun's face, only a pair of red eyes revealed the fact that his heart was like a beast.
——When he realized that Yuanyuan could avoid those moths, but could not prevent Lu You's condition from deteriorating, he turned to fight back.Intrude into the depths of this group of monsters' lairs, kill all of their individuals that can be seen, and hope that the state is under their control, and the hunting process will naturally stop after they are all dead .
The result was obvious: he failed.
The moths had no intelligence at all, and no stratagem.The moment he breathed in the scale powder, he had already stepped into a deadly trap.Whether they are alive or dead after that, everything will happen irreversibly: fall into a dream after falling asleep, the heart beats continuously until tired and exhausted, and the toxin that brings abnormal heat finally makes people bleed.
Qi Zhengyun didn't even know how Lu You woke up.Originally, he was convinced that Lu You would face death in a deep sleep, and he no longer expected to say goodbye. The only luck in the pain was that at least the dreamer would not feel the pain... So at this moment, seeing Lu You opened his eyes, He was stunned instead.
Lu You's mind was spinning in a strange calm, connecting the dream, the reality through the dream, and the current status quo.If he had really jumped in the dream just now, he would have stopped breathing suddenly in reality... Unfortunately, although he woke up, it was still too late.Although the spirit returns to clarity at the last moment, it will eventually be brought back into chaos with the collapse of the body.
The ashes fell like a swirling fine snow.Lu You looked into Qi Zhengyun's eyes, thinking that as expected, he would see a look of indifference, or just a little regret - but what he was looking at was a person who was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with the loss.It's strange, since when... Lu You thought about it this way, thought about it for a while, and then stopped thinking about it.He tried to smile at Qi Zhengyun, as a farewell or comfort, but he didn't have the strength to move the corners of his lips anymore.
It turns out that what I want is not only your love, but I also want to try to love you...
But he has been unfamiliar with the skill of "love" for too long.So much so that he didn't even notice his true mood.
Sorry, didn't wake up until the end.I didn't take the initiative to approach you one step before, wasting such a good time...
Qi Zhengyun saw Lu You's lips move slightly, but did not make a sound.He thought that Lu You wanted to say something, so he forced himself to wake up from the stagnation with difficulty, and hurriedly leaned towards those pale lips after blood loss.But he didn't get a single message, but a light touch on the edge of his ear.
This kiss was cold, yet infinitely gentle because of its slightness.After that, Lu You didn't make any further gestures, just closed his eyes and stopped breathing quietly.
