Tiandi Baiju

Later, after Du Jing arrived in Madrid, Zhou Luoyang made several video calls to him. The man opposite him was doing as usual, wearing the summer suit that Zhou Luoyang bought for him, reading a book at home.

Zhou Luoyang asked when he would come back, Du Jing replied: "When you need me, I will come back."

Zhou Luoyang ignored the ridicule and said, "School is about to start, do you need to ask for a few more days off for you?"

"No. When are you going back to school?"

Zhou Luoyang said: "Next Monday, I'll find a cleaner first and clean up the dormitory."

Du Jing nodded and hung up the video.

The week before school started, Zhou Luoyang remembered very clearly that that day was also an evening, just like this evening.The setting sun shone into the dormitory through the poorly repaired window in the dormitory.

Just like in the mahjong parlor, this gray window allows sunlight to pour into the room, and the past and present, the strange time and space, overlap together.

That evening, when Zhou Luoyang returned to the dormitory, he saw that the bed that Du Jing and him were sharing was restored to its original position.Clothes, sneakers, quilt pillows, books, desk lamps... All his personal belongings were emptied, and the borrowed books returned to Zhou Luoyang's bookshelf.

He stood in front of the window for a while, called Du Jing, and the phone rang in the drawer. He opened the drawer, and saw the card he had issued for him with his ID card, and the cell phone bought for him, ringing in the drawer.

On the incoming call screen, two words were displayed: Luoyang.

"Do you want to hear the reason?" Du Jing said standing behind Zhou Luoyang.

"This isn't the first time," Zhou Luoyang looked back at Du Jing, and replied, "Tell me, of course if you don't tell me, I can't do anything about you."

"You're not afraid of death, you're not afraid of losing me, you're not afraid of anything, you just leave and do whatever you want, I really have nothing to threaten you with."

Du Jing said: "This is what you have always understood about me."

Zhou Luoyang said, "Is this understanding wrong?"

Du Jing sat down again on a chair and remained silent for a long time, as if he was about to be judged.Zhou Luoyang turned his head again and looked out the window at dusk, as if he had returned to the empty dormitory that day. He had too many questions to ask him, and he didn't ask him nearly four years ago, but what should come, will come sooner or later.

Later, Zhou Luoyang asked the counselor, and the counselor told him that Du Jing had dropped out of school. Just two days before Zhou Luoyang came back, Du Jing personally went through the withdrawal procedures and cleared all his belongings.

"Do you think memory can deceive people?" Du Jing said suddenly.

"I don't understand." Zhou Luoyang turned his head and looked at Du Jing.

Du Jing said: "Just now I was wondering if we are just two strangers who don't know each other at this moment. And the so-called, all our memories are created by someone and instilled in our minds. ?”

Zhou Luoyang didn't know how to answer, and he didn't expect that Du Jing would use this sentence as the opening remark.

"Is it affected by the illness?" Zhou Luoyang said.

"I know you can't understand," Du Jing shook his head helplessly, and said, "No one can understand."

"No." Zhou Luoyang wanted to say "I understand", but after a second thought, he decided to tell the truth and replied, "Yes, I don't understand, in fact, most of the time I can't understand you, but because I love you , I will say 'I understand', or try to understand, and finally find that I can't understand, and I am willing to accept it all."

Du Jing didn't answer, with a sad look in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, looking at Zhou Luoyang sadly.

At that moment, Zhou Luoyang felt a little distressed.

"It's like I don't understand why you want to take me and die together," Zhou Luoyang said to himself, "but because I love you, I accepted it. Maybe that's why we separated four years ago, I've never seriously understood you, it's not that I don't want to, but... Forget it, at a time like this, it's up to you to say it. "

Du Jing said: "It's because I am a patient, but I love you too, and I have never lied to you."

Zhou Luoyang hummed, but did not refute Du Jing.

Du Jing said: "So you think, as long as it exists in memory, we did it together, just like the fireworks at Universal that day."

"I've always thought so," Zhou Luoyang said. "Memories are real to me. If you can't even believe in memories, then you have nothing to believe in."

Du Jing said: "If you always remember that you have done something, but you are sure that you have not done it, is it real or illusory?"

Zhou Luoyang looked at Du Jing with a strange expression. Du Jing's words reminded him of another explanation:

Schizophrenia.

This happens only after schizophrenia, when the two personalities act differently, memories remain in the mind, and occasional confusion arises.

But he knew that Du Jing was only suffering from bipolar disorder, not schizophrenia, and Zhou Luoyang had never experienced obvious multiple personalities.

"What do you want to explain?" Zhou Luoyang said, "You think you didn't kill my father? Everything is just a memory? But it's not a memory, Du Jing, it's the fact that it was photographed."

"No," Du Jing said, "it's not all because of this, Luoyang, you met Su Pu."

Zhou Luoyang looked at Du Jing, and Du Jing said, "Su Pu asked me why I left China, went to Washington, joined the Pacific Rim Association of Detectives, and found a file about you and your grandfather."

Zhou Luoyang said, "You've been looking for it, haven't you? Looking for the Eye of Vercetti?"

Du Jing said, "But before that, why did I meet you first? Do you think it's a coincidence?"

Zhou Luoyang suddenly felt that this was a bit unreasonable. In fact, he never understood why Du Jing chose to be an agent. Judging from the timeline, they first met and accompanied each other. After Du Jing left, he joined the detective according to his own wishes. Then he found out in the association that the Zhou family held a strange secret, and then returned to China to join Changyi, returned to him, launched an investigation, and finally obtained the Eye of Versailles logically.

How many coincidences does it take to bring this series of events together?

"No," Zhou Luoyang said, "I believe you are real, Du Jing. Don't make jokes."

Zhou Luoyang thought of a terrifying thought. Before they met, there was no such person as Du Jing?The so-called college roommate is just a man-made memory instilled in him by others?

"I have photos," Zhou Luoyang said immediately, "the photos of us together before."

Du Jing said: "I also believe, I also believe, Luoyang, those are all true. But look, you are beginning to waver, and you can understand now."

Zhou Luoyang looked at Du Jing and didn't speak. For a moment, he was shaken.

Du Jing said: "If I was a fake, without Du Jing, and I had another identity, would you still choose to be with me now?"

Zhou Luoyang said: "Then make the mistake and make the mistake. I love you now, and I won't deny my feelings like you. No, I don't want to mention these things now. Please explain to me clearly."

Du Jing got the answer he wanted most, got up and wanted to hold Zhou Luoyang's hand, but Zhou Luoyang said, "Sit down for me and continue talking."

Du Jing said: "Four years ago, maybe five years ago, I can't remember the exact time. One day, I found that I had an extra memory. This memory was about the Pacific Rim Detective Organization."

"What?" Zhou Luoyang recalled the past and said, "Didn't that be when we were still studying?"

"Yes," Du Jing said, "I have never been there, never. The headquarters is in Washington, I remember it clearly, a small four-story building... I was looking up information and saw the records about your great-grandfather , and your father, you. But there is no mention of anything about Le Yao in the record."

"Wait," Zhou Luoyang said in confusion, "What do you mean? Are you sure..."

Du Jing made an unconscious gesture and said, "Like this year, I suddenly discovered that I remembered something that happened one day two years later. In my memory, I confirmed the time at that time, and it was indeed two years later. .”

Zhou Luoyang said, "When did you first think about the future?"

Du Jingdao: "The day you kissed me for the first time, I clearly 'remembered' the future, and I decided to protect you, because you are very important to me."

"No," Zhou Luoyang said in complete confusion, "So have you confirmed it? Is the scene in your memory real?"

"I'm sure." Du Jing said, "I went to confirm. The first time I saw that place, I believed it. Then, I recalled more memories, including how I signed up and the process of joining the detective organization."

Zhou Luoyang said: "But at that time, you were still studying in China?!"

Du Jing hummed, and said, "The summer vacation of my sophomore year was less than a month away from the deadline for registration in my memory."

"So you went to Washington," Zhou Luoyang murmured, "to prove everything."

Du Jing replied: "Yes, I found a law firm and registered through them. My family background is very clean, and I was selected. They mainly tested IQ and physical condition, so three days later, I came back to deal with all the legal issues. thing, left you."

Zhou Luoyang: "I thought you were because..."

"Why?" Du Jing said seriously, "You asked me why I left without saying goodbye. I know such an answer, and you would never believe it. Who would believe that a person suddenly has the memory of the future?"

"I thought it was because you liked me," Zhou Luoyang said a little amusedly, "I was afraid that I would get deeper and deeper, so I got out in time."

"I love you at first." Du Jing said, "You are right, you don't want to be trapped in it, and you want to protect you, I do it. That time is difficult for me. I have never done this This job is all supported by will, I want to come back, I want to come back to you, but I keep convincing myself that I must read that piece of information."

"The training session had a lot of psychological implications, which reminded me of more, chaotic, future memories."

"But what if you didn't go to the association at that time?" Zhou Luoyang said, "The future will not develop according to the facts in your memory."

Du Jing replied: "Yes, I did think about it and did an experiment to combat these chaotic memories. There are some things I didn't do."

Zhou Luoyang: "!!!"

The two faced each other, after a long silence.

Zhou Luoyang said, "You didn't go to Haneda Airport."

"I didn't," Du Jing said, "Even if I didn't know it at the time, Zhou Song is your and Le Yao's father."

All this is really unbelievable, that is to say, when Du Jing was still studying, he knew that he would join the Detective Association in the future, and then followed what he knew, and set foot on this road, just to protect Zhou Luoyang.

But this most unreasonable explanation is actually the most reasonable.Otherwise, how to explain that Du Jing, as a college student, knew about the Detectives Association?What's more, by mistake, the files about the Zhou family were found in the association? !

"This is really too complicated." Zhou Luoyang said to himself, and sat down by the window.

"You still have 10 minutes." Outside, Wang Shunchang said through a loudspeaker.

"I have the memory of shooting at your father's vehicle on the Haneda Airport Expressway." Du Jing said, "But on that day two years ago, I really hadn't been to Japan."

"Do you have an alibi?" Zhou Luoyang said.

Du Jing thought for a while and said, "No, it's been too long."

Zhou Luoyang said, "Where were you at that time?"

"I'm by a lake," Du Jing said, "alone. Luoyang, your father was not special to me at that time..."

"I know." Zhou Luoyang said immediately, "If you knew that he was my father and there was Le Yao in the car, then you would definitely try to leave an alibi to prove to me. But at that time, he, It's just an ordinary person you met in countless missions, you don't even know that he is related to my case, isn't that right?"

"Yes," Du Jing said with relief, "You trust me."

"Of course I believe you," Zhou Luoyang said, "as long as you tell me, I will believe you. You just have bipolar disorder, not hysteria."

Du Jing stroked his hair, closed his eyes tiredly, and sighed.

Zhou Luoyang said: "But who is the person who rented a car at the airport?"

"I don't know." Du Jing said, "Now I have a guess, maybe it's me in another time and space."

"Parallel time and space?" Zhou Luoyang remembered Su Pu's words.

"We have to find a way to get out of here first." Zhou Luoyang now roughly understands that this matter must have something to do with Versetti's Eye.future!He instantly thought of a possibility that Du Jing's memory might be related to the future!In other words, the cause of all this has not happened yet!

Could it be Du Jing from the future who returned to that day through the Eye of Versatile?But Zhou Luoyang felt that this speculation was vaguely wrong.

"Du Jing," Zhou Luoyang said, regaining his usual composure, "I believe what you said, we have to find a place and find a way, they will rush in soon, before twelve o'clock. I know as long as Going back in time, all of this is equivalent to never happening, but have you ever thought that if they take away the Eye of Versatile, and then disassemble it for research, destroying its function, the backtracking will not happen? .”

"You're right." Du Jing opened his eyes, cheered up, and said, "I'll figure out a way to prevent it from falling into their hands. I don't know where the news about Wang Shunchang came from, but your guess is very good." Could happen."

Zhou Luoyang turned to look out the window. The special police had already started preparing, and then turned to look at Du Jing.

His eyes were dazed——Du Jing was burdened with more than just too many words?He is only one year older than himself, but he has withstood so many tests. Even at this moment, he still shoulders the responsibility of keeping the two of them out of danger.Du Jing's will can only be described as "strong".

And all of this is for him.

Du Jing walked towards Zhou Luoyang who was standing by the window, with a little nervousness, he said, "So you forgive me." He pretended to be relaxed and said, "Can you let me continue to be your boyfriend and not fire me? "

Zhou Luoyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Du Jing stretched out his hand to him, waiting for his forgiveness, while Zhou Luoyang pulled him towards him, threw himself into his arms, and hugged him tightly.

"I'm sorry," Zhou Luoyang said, "You are too tired. Doing all this is really exhausting."

Du Jing hugged him, but it was even stronger.

"You should have found a time to tell me all this," Zhou Luoyang said, "not now."

"The future is uncertain." Du Jing's heart was beating fast, Zhou Luoyang looked up at him, and saw his pupils constricted and his hands were covered in sweat.

He knew that Du Jing was in a state of extreme uneasiness and fear, and every time he hugged him, Du Jing showed a little bit of this, only today it was especially strong.

"Wait," Zhou Luoyang looked into Du Jing's eyes and said, "Are you sure you've finished what you need to say? I'll make sure one last time."

Purely out of intuition, Zhou Luoyang knew that Du Jing might have something to say.

Sure enough, Du Jing admitted.

"I took you into danger a few times." Du Jing murmured, "It may be very unreasonable, after all, no one will let the person he likes be in danger..."

Zhou Luoyang understood instantly, his voice trembling: "Because you know, no matter what, I won't die, why?"

Du Jing didn't speak, but looked away.

"In your memory..." Zhou Luoyang said, "There is my death, answer me, Du Jing!"

When Du Jing looked at Zhou Luoyang again, his eyes were red and he couldn't say a word.

Zhou Luoyang held Du Jing's hand tightly, and suddenly remembered a sentence he once said.

"No matter when, I will never point a gun at you."
