Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

----

Lu You clearly knew that he was dreaming.

He was standing on a narrow path, which was the alley behind the back door of the junior high school.Every day when school is over, there will be many food stalls gathered here, lined up crowdedly on both sides of the road, the voices of people are bustling, and the strong aroma of fried food floats in the air.When the weather is hot, there is also fried ice, and the water poured into the stainless steel tray freezes and turns white quickly, and is mixed with the so-called "strawberry flavor" and "taro flavor" viscous syrup squeezed out of the soft plastic bottle with a pointed mouth. Stir together.

The ground was sticky with old grease.Despite the poor sanitation, students rushing out of the school after the school bell will eagerly pull out pocket money, or beg the parents who come to pick them up to buy some food.It is the age with a big appetite. Even if the school provides a snack in the afternoon, it has been digested by the end of school. The hunger feels like a small animal gnawing at the stomach wall, which is almost painful-this is exactly what Lu You is feeling at this moment. Feel.

Didn't you say that you can't feel pain in your dreams?he thought so.Just random thoughts that slide through your mind.Although he realized that this was a dream, he didn't expect to leave or wake up. He stood by the roadside as a matter of course, staring intently at the fried chicken tenders stall not far away.As the oil boiled, tiny air bubbles emerged from the batter wrapped in chicken fillet, gradually turning into an attractive golden color.His stomach was tightly twisted into a ball, as if he hadn't eaten for a long time, the burnt aroma of fat smelled into his nostrils, like a fish swallowing a hook wearing bait, a realistic pulling sensation urged him to walk over quickly.

However, his footsteps were fixed in place, and he couldn't take a step forward.

As if subconsciously resisting something...

"Lu You?" An immature female voice asked from behind.Lu You suddenly turned his head and saw Yuan Xiaoxiao standing behind him.The little girl looked up at him, with a red apple face and two short ponytails.She looked too young, not like a junior high school student, but still in elementary school.Lu You noticed this difference, but didn't feel abnormal in the dream.Yuan Xiaoxiao walked over and took his hand naturally.

"Mom has something to come back late tonight, so let me have dinner outside by myself." The little girl said in an old-fashioned tone, "There is no one at home, right? Come with me! What do you want to eat?"

wrong.Lu You thought.When he was in junior high school, he had already started to live on campus... But when he raised his head, he found that his eyesight was much lower than before, and he was able to look at the same level as the short girl beside him.Like Yuan Xiaoxiao, he became a child.In the few seconds of this delay, Yuan Xiaoxiao saw that he didn't answer, and had already made a decision on his own. "Let's go eat grilled squid," she announced.

Grilled squid……

For some reason, Lu You felt an uncomfortable feeling in his stomach.But Yuan Xiaoxiao had already pulled him forward, and within a few steps, he came to the front of a barbecue stand.The small stall that fried chicken fillets just now disappeared, and the background changed from the brick wall in the back alley of the school to lush green bushes, which seemed to be a corner of the garden.Lu You didn't have time to pay attention to these changes, and the things on the iron plate of the barbecue stall attracted his full attention.

That's some clumps of silt...asphalt?It's dark, and the texture is so viscous that it can't even flow, and it makes a "prickling" sound under the high temperature of the iron plate.

How can this thing be eaten?Lu You subconsciously wanted to back away, but Yuan Xiaoxiao's wrist was firmly grasped and he couldn't break free.The girl's strength was astonishing. With an expression of great interest on her face, she watched the balls of "pitch" vibrate on the iron plate, the edges changed, and gradually turned into slender tentacles, waving wildly.Then, these groups of things that became like small octopuses were strung together with a bamboo stick and sent to the two children.

Yuan Xiaoxiao reached out to take the string of unknown objects, and stuffed them into Lu You's hands involuntarily.

"Let's eat." She said, with a treacherous smile on her small face, "Don't you feel very hungry?"

Lu You's stomach was stirring.An intense hunger mixed with an equal amount of nausea. "I can't eat it," he said.But his hand seemed to have self-awareness, and he slowly raised it, sending the living creature that was still twisting on the bamboo stick to his lips.A strong metallic smell rushed into his nostrils, and he wanted to vomit, but saliva secreted from his mouth.Those waving tentacles were covered with fish-like scales, and transparent mucus flowed down the bamboo stick to his hand.

"Eat." Yuan Xiaoxiao urged.Her voice seemed to be drawn out, her rhythm and pitch becoming weird, "You can't go without food all the time - do you really want to starve to death? This is no fun. Eat quickly. "

The tentacles touched Lu You's lips.They moved and tickled him.He closed his mouth tightly so that he couldn't help but actually eat this strange thing—even in a dream.Lu You shook his head vigorously.I don't want to eat, he thought.

Yuan Xiaoxiao sighed, as if he heard what he didn't say in his heart.It was a dream after all, and she was actually just a projection of his consciousness. "It's useless if you don't want to eat it," she said.

Under the sympathetic gaze of the girl, Lu You found that he could not move his body.Those tiny tentacles squirmed against his lips, forcefully penetrated into the soft gap between the lips, pried open the teeth, and inserted into his mouth——

The cold feeling adhered to the surface of the tongue, and the roughness of the scraped edges of the scales was so vivid that it was creepy.When Lu You was trying to struggle, he made a little "wow" sound, which was blocked as the tentacles penetrated deeper into his throat.He felt that he was being opened and stuffed, and the coldness stretched into his stomach, as if he was constantly filling his stomach with hard ice, his skin tightened in severe pain, like a blown to the limit balloon--

Lu You woke up from the dream retching.He first smelled a hot aroma, the mellow and soft fresh aroma of creamy mushroom soup, and the smell of fried steak, which was very fragrant, but it only made him feel sick.He leaned sideways on the edge of the bed, opened his mouth to the floor, his throat trembled and slid like convulsions, and wanted to vomit—the quilt wrapped in strips around his waist and abdomen exacerbated the uncomfortable contraction of his stomach— He made a retching sound, but couldn't spit out anything.A drop or two of clear liquid fell on the spotless floor like clear water.

A tentacle rolled over with a rag and wiped the floor clean again.Just after coming out of such a dream, seeing this scene made Lu You's empty stomach churn again, and even felt a foreign body sensation in his throat - this should be caused by the stomach acid pouring up. erosion.When he saw another tentacle brought a towel, he immediately shrank to the corner of the bed, trying to avoid it, but there was only such a small place, and he was held down like a cat caught by its owner and forced to wipe its paws. Wet lips are wiped clean.

The tentacle then brought a water glass, with an attitude of being familiar with similar incidents.The sour taste in his mouth was very uncomfortable, this time Lu You didn't insist on refusing, and let the tentacles "serve" him silently to rinse his mouth.Then he coughed and found his voice hoarse. "Go away," he said weakly.

— Enough prayers have been said, and threats and curses are completely useless.Now his only remaining response to this completely incommunicable monster was "fuck off".

Lu You grabbed the pillow on the bed and hugged it in his arms. With his back pressed against the corner between the head of the bed and the wall, he curled up into a ball, watching the tentacles stretched out in front of him slowly shrinking back. It looks like he was irritated by his attitude...

This is what Lu You expected.After he injured himself and tried to escape and was caught from the window, there was a period of time when his mood swings were extremely violent, and he tried every means to provoke the monster, as if he didn't want to find another chance to escape, but wanted to be killed Death - but the monster has always been very calm, even if he smashed the water glass on the face, it just quietly cleaned up the mess, and still thoughtfully prevented him from hurting himself.Later, Lu You himself got tired of this kind of provocative behavior, and finally calmed down, and entered the current indifferent state.

Lu You stared at the folds of the bed sheet, and deliberately avoided looking at the small table beside the bed on the other side.The aroma of food comes from there.After the initial nausea subsided, the aroma started to do its job, making hunger pangs in the stomach.He gritted his teeth and never looked there, lest he could not help but succumb to hunger... He also refused to look at the end of the bed, even if he could see the shaking black shadow in the corner of his eye, he could feel the darkness cast from there. coming sight.

After a moment of motionless stalemate, Lu You changed his posture and buried his face in the pillow.The food on the small table was getting cold, and the aroma was slowly dissipating—or maybe his nose was desensitized after smelling it for a long time.After the feeling of writhing in his stomach dissipated a little, Lu You felt drowsiness began to surge again: during this time, he seemed to be getting less and less sleep, the time of waking up was gradually shortening, and the dreams became longer and more vivid .

Occasionally there are nightmares like before.But more of the content that appears is everyday life.In the dream, Lu You continued his ordinary life, going to school, cooking, socializing a little, reading in the library... Time passed easily in the dream, which greatly relieved his burden of having to be in the same room with monsters. torment.Lu You knew rationally that this might not be a good phenomenon, but he didn't want to stop it at all.

The physical body is under imprisonment, with nowhere to go, but the spirit can still hide deep in the body, avoiding prying eyes...

It is also a way of expressing resistance.

Lu You didn't try to resist the sleepiness.He closed his eyes first, then adjusted his posture, rewrapped the quilt and lay back on the bed.On the quilt was the smell of the detergent he used to use, which gave him a sense of peace of mind.The monster was still watching him, focusing on him all the time. At first, Lu You would wake up from his sleep, but now he is used to it.

He closed his eyes, breathing slowly.

Like the body floating lightly in the clouds, gradually sinking into sleep...

This time Lu You was not dreaming.He didn't sleep for too long, and he woke up because of the cold touch on his arm.The greasy smell that filled the room had dissipated, and the small table beside the bed was empty—the food that had been placed on the table had been removed.The monster moved from the end of the bed to the side of the bed, and one of its tentacles was wrapped around Lu You's arm.

Lu You was wearing soft short-sleeved sleeves, his entire arm was exposed, and tiny goosebumps appeared on his skin when he was touched.He was not fully awake yet, his eyes seemed to have nothing to do with him, watching the front end of the tentacle caress the pinholes where the blood had not dissipated around the inner side of his arm, gently pressing the blood vessels under the skin, and found a suitable position after a while, Then he skillfully inserted the new infusion needle.

The pain was minimal, and Lu You blinked slowly, feeling the coolness entering the blood vessels.Since he refused to eat, infusions have become the only way for his body to get nutrients.The monster didn't seem to want to force him to use violence. Instead of forcing him to swallow food like in the dream, he took a more peaceful—and colder—way.

It is not afraid that Lu You will pull out the needle, nor will it tie him up to restrict his movements.This was not because of the confidence that Lu You would not resist, but because it would always be by the side, and it was impossible for him to find any chance to resist.

Lu You didn't know what he was still insisting on... Enduring hunger and refusing to obey completely.

Obviously it doesn't work...

His arms were put back on the bed, and the covers were carefully covered.Lu You and the monster's eyes met for a few seconds, feeling that they were like beautiful and inorganic gems.The room was extremely quiet, he could hear his own breathing, like the heavy and frivolous breathing of a dying person, and the subtle sounds of those tentacles swimming, like something furry scratching his ears.

After a while, Lu You looked away and stared at the liquid medicine dripping from the infusion regulator.He yawned a little, feeling his body relax lazily quickly.Everything around is going away, and the various sensory organs that have barely woken up and worked for a short period of time have come to a standstill one by one.

The drowsiness that was temporarily expelled returned again——

Qi Zhengyun stood by the bed, waited until Lu You was fully asleep, and then looked at him for a while longer.There was a slight feeling of reluctance in the monster's heart. The reason was unknown, and nothing could be changed.The tentacles slid on the ground and led him quietly outside the room. The woman who had been waiting for a long time in the living room quickly stood up from the sofa when he appeared, her hands twisted restlessly. Together, watching him carefully from under the eyelashes.

Qi Zhengyun had seen this woman once before, when Lu You was injured by a shapeshifter and was in the hospital.The prototype of a woman is a mermaid, and Huihui once complained in her notebook that her prototype had a fish head instead of the beauty she expected with a human body and a fish tail.

Qi Zhengyun slightly tilted his head towards the half-closed door.This movement is not very obvious in the form of a sea monster, but the woman obviously noticed it, and her body tensed up.Her timid performance made Qi Zhengyun hesitate for a while, but finally he did not change his mind. "Go ahead," he said curtly.

The woman shivered past him and entered the room.Qi Zhengyun slowly transformed into a human form, sat down on the sofa in the living room, and put his clasped hands on his knees.After a while, he heard a faint singing sound coming from the room.

——According to the legend, the mermaid with the human body and the fishtail and the siren with the bird's head have songs that can confuse people's hearts.This sea-born monster has a similar ability, which can make the soul fall into a peaceful sleep, and the body functions tend to stop, as if frozen by low temperature.

Lu You refused to eat and lived on infusions. There was no communication between them. The bodies and minds of the prisoners were slowly collapsing, and sooner or later they would be destroyed without external force.With the help of Siren's ability, this is the best way he can think of to delay time.

Like a still specimen in a frame, a long sleep.

So similar to someone who sleeps peacefully in the system space...

The siren's singing is slender and ethereal, soaring upwards, like a spider's thread fluttering in the wind.Qi Zhengyun lowered his head, saw his hands, and realized that he was trembling slightly.He tried to suppress the trembling, but couldn't.The singing sound cut through his body, splitting him into countless pieces, but before the blood gushed out, they were still glued together, maintaining the illusion of the original shape.

so cowardly...

In his heart, a voice said softly.

Because I don't want to go through the pain of losing a loved one again, I decide to let another person go through the pain of being imprisoned, neglected, filled with fear, and slowly stripped of vitality.Relying on being loved, knowing another person's forbearance and tolerance, he transfers his own pain to that person to bear it for him...

But since he has made such a decision to treat the people in reincarnation as mere props, as a simple accumulation of numbers, what is he feeling now after he has determined so?Why did the pain that he thought had been numb gradually wake up again, and began to tear him from the inside again?

The singing stopped at some point.The door slammed softly.Qi Zhengyun raised his head after a while, and saw the sea monster flinching out of the room. "It's over... It's over..." She said in a low voice, and then seemed unable to bear the pressure Qi Zhengyun brought to her, dared not say a word, walked through the room as fast as she could, and fled in a hurry go out.

Qi Zhengyun sat for a while, and finally stood up and walked into the room.Only appearing in front of Lu You in the form of a monster is to cut off communication, which is no longer necessary now.But when he stepped through the door, he habitually changed back, and then he was also taken aback.He paused at the door of the room for a while, without any further changes, just moved his tentacles and "swimmed" towards the bed.

Lu You still maintained the posture before he left, lying on the bed slightly curled up on his side, as if he was not disturbed by the siren's singing at all.If anything, there was a little blood on his cheeks, not as pale as before.It was as if he had died before, and now he was resurrected in a complete sleep.

Qi Zhengyun raised a tentacle and turned off the lights in the room.Darkness engulfed them in an instant.The tentacles undulated soundlessly, the monster slowly climbed onto the bed, approached the sleeping person on the bed from behind, closed its tentacles, and hugged him in its arms.Like a dog that can only sleep peacefully by leaning against its owner, the monster made a small whimpering sound, and gently leaned its head on the back of the human's shoulder.The feeling of soft and warm skin is conveyed.There will be no more conflicts.

In the darkness, the steady breathing of human beings finally became the only sound——
