I am not human

He couldn't remember exactly when things happened, but that didn't matter.Because in this place, time is the most meaningless thing.

The continuous existence is divided into countless fragments, scattered around while maintaining a wonderful connection.Strictly speaking, this is not something that "he" has experienced, but the memory of that day will always appear in his mind from time to time.

On the small sand dune, the little boy hugged his knees and curled up into a small ball, burying his face deeply.A pitch-black shadow spread from under him, distorted into the shape of a monster by the light, as if ready to engulf the boy at any moment.

"Hey, kid, what are you doing here?" He said hello and walked towards the boy, "Have you lost your way? Are you a human? A monster? Or..."

The boy raised his head abruptly, with animal patterns winding on his small face, and his dark golden pupils were cloudy like a swamp filled with bubbles, it was hard to tell whether it was emotional or lifeless.

He swallowed, and finished the last two words out of inertia: "...half demon."

"Mom." Sitting on the edge of the flower bed, Qiuming suddenly said this.

Liao Qingshu: "???"

"When I saw you, you kept calling 'Mom'." Qiumen explained.Liao Qingshu blinked without emotion: "I have no impression of her."

"That's because they're all here." Qiuming patted the ruby ​​box, "You were in a very bad condition at the time. I don't know what happened to you, but if you continue to act like that, things might get worse Oops. So, after obtaining your consent, I extracted some files in your mind and put them in this box, waiting for you to come back and get them yourself."

"So these are all my memories." Liao Qingshu murmured in a daze, looking at the ruby ​​box in her hand, and then at the jade ball that had been with her for a long time, she suddenly felt a powerless feeling that there was nowhere to escape Feeling, "... No wonder Langgan gave me the jade ball."

"Is this a box made by Langgan? I don't know about it. I picked it up in Liegushe. Since I picked it up, the box has never been closed—this thing is very interesting. If you don't store anything, it will be closed." You can’t close it, and if you save something, you can’t open it. For thousands of years, the only thing that has been preserved is your memory, which is also fate.” Qiuming sighed, “I was still worried that this box couldn’t be opened. I'm afraid you won't be able to take your things back, but I didn't expect you to have already got the key."

He observed Liao Qingshu's ugly face, and the corners of his mouth slightly tightened: "But it seems that you don't need it."

Liao Qingshu's expression was tense, she didn't say a word, she just stared blankly at the jade box, with unreasonable fear and disgust in her heart, at one moment she wanted to throw it far away, at another moment she wanted to dig a hole and bury it on the spot.Seeing this, Qiuming sighed, put his right hand on the jade box, pressed it down, and said to Liao Qingshu: "If you don't want it now, you can keep it with me, as long as you remember to come back to get it, I do not mind."

Liao Qingshu: "What if... I don't want to come back and get it?"

"You will definitely come back." Qiuming said firmly, "Because this is your thing, you can't get rid of it. No matter how far you go, you will definitely come back, take everything back and digest everything. Only when the missing part is made up When you are, you are the real you."

Liao Qingshu looked at him hesitantly, clenched his hand on the jade box, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if struggling.Suddenly there was a vibration in the pocket, followed by loud music.He was stunned for a moment, and in a panic, he took out the elderly mobile phone from his pocket, and saw that it was turning on automatically.

The music that starts up is loud and vulgar, but I can't even dance.Qiuming looked at the mobile phone and laughed: "How many years have you guys still used PHS?"

"No, this is a gift from the Ministry of Security." Liao Qingshu defended in a low voice, lowered her head and fiddled with the phone, "It's so strange, I was like a brick just now, why did I suddenly come back to life?"

"I told you, things only happen when they're supposed to happen..."

"Or when being manipulated by others." Liao Qingshu glanced at Qiuming distrustingly, but the other party only shrugged helplessly, with a look of "I can't help you if you insist on thinking like this".

Liao Qingshu stopped talking, turned around and pressed the keyboard, trying to dial Jiufang Ziyan, pretending not to see Qiuming's interested eyes.After a short echo ring, the phone was connected suddenly, and there was a whistling wind from the receiver.

"Hello? Jiufang?" Liao Qingshu kept turning up the volume, trying to catch Jiufang's voice, "Is it Jiufang? Can you hear me?"

The wind from the receiver became more and more obvious. After a while, Liao Qingshu finally heard a vague voice: "...Liao Qingshu?"

"Well, it's me." Liao Qingshu hurriedly said, "Jiu Fang? Jiu Fang, where are you now?"

"I don't know." Jiufang Ziyan's tone sounded ethereal, "I saw Zhuoxi...and Qin Xiaofen. I don't know where I am."

"Well, it was the same when I first came here." Qiuming interjected from the side, not knowing how he heard the conversation between the two of them, "Looking back on the past, I can't go out after going back a few times. I suggest that you Better hurry up."

Liao Qingshu stared at him in disbelief, seriously suspecting that her boss might have found a fake father.Taking a deep breath restrained, he asked, "What should I do?"

Qiumen shrugged: "Now...it's hard to say. Because it hasn't 'happened' yet."

"..." Silently scolded, Liao Qingshu turned his attention back to Jiufang Ziyan, and said anxiously: "Hey, Jiufang, are you still there... Yes, I'm here to look for you. So if you Do you have any clues... Hey, can you stop swearing, I didn't come here because of my own pleasure!"

"That kid has a bad temper and is self-righteous. I didn't expect him to make friends." Qiuming continued to intervene, talking nonsense, "To be honest, I'm very happy. Now that he wants to find you At that time, you were also looking for him..."

"Excuse me, can I ask you to be quiet for a while?" Liao Qingshu couldn't help shouting.Jiufang Ziyan's voice flickered from time to time, and was always covered by the wind. Some of the voices were not covered with difficulty, and they were all nonsense about questioning his lack of IQ balance, which made him feel agitated for a while. "I'm really... ah!"

A huge force suddenly grabbed his shoulders and pulled him back forcefully.Liao Qingshu didn't know why, so she was startled, but Qiuming jumped up suddenly, rushed over and grabbed his hand, then pulled it in another direction.

Liao Qingshu was pulled so hard that she almost fell apart, she gritted her teeth and asked, "What the hell is... what's going on?!"

"Didn't I say that when you were looking for him, he was also looking for you, and it just depends on whose desire is stronger." Veins appeared on Qiuming's forehead, but there was still a smile on his face: "Put harder, harder! ! Breathe! I have seen the head..."

"I beg you, shut up!" Liao Qingshu broke down, looked back, and saw Jiufang Ziyan's head wearing sunglasses and a part of his shoulders appearing out of nowhere in an open space about one meter away from him, leaning outward Explore.In all conscience, this visual effect is really quite horrifying, but at this moment he didn't care about it, he stretched out his hand to grab Jiufang Ziyan's shoulder and pulled it out.

First the head and shoulders, then the hands and torso... The tension on the other end was great at first, but as Jiufang Ziyan's body gradually appeared, it became smaller and smaller. When Jiufang Ziyan's thighs appeared, Liao Qingshu didn't have to worry that she would Being pulled away, just concentrate on pulling the carrots.

Qiuming withdrew his hand at some point, and stood smilingly watching Liao Qingshu pull Jiufang Ziyan away. Liao Qingshu was wondering when he suddenly felt the opposite force suddenly withdraw, like a tug-of-war player talking to himself and throwing away the rope. He didn't even say hello, even though he couldn't stop in time, he used his inertia to pull Jiufang Ziyan out of the void, and then fell to the ground due to the reaction force, being pressed by Jiufang Ziyan who weighed more than 150 kilograms, he was about to vomit blood.

Qiuming laughed unceremoniously.Liao Qingshu glanced at him unhappily, and pushed the person on him hard: "Hey, Jiufang? Are you still alive? Move quickly, I'm so sick!"

Jiufang Ziyan, who was pressing on him, twitched suddenly, as if he woke up suddenly.Liao Qingshu quickly pushed him: "Are you awake? Get up quickly."

Jiufang Ziyan didn't speak.Through the sunglasses, Liao Qingshu felt that he was staring at her, and couldn't help pushing him again: "Hey, what's the matter?"

Responding to him was a generous palm caressing his cheek.Jiufang Ziyan touched his face as if he couldn't believe it, and squeezed his face when he was done, his tone was still in disbelief: "This is so real?"

Liao Qingshu: "???"

In the next second, Jiufang Ziyan was kicked flying in front of him.

Qiuming put his legs down, looked at Jiufang Ziyan who had been rolling around on the ground several times with contempt, and had a look of artificial distress: "Little bastard, I have learned how to play hooligans after years of neglect."

Liao Qingshu: "..."
