The Uncanny Valley Travel Guide

He Qin said in a hoarse voice: "...you little fool. That's what I wanted to say the first day I met you, you are so stupid."

Wen Zheliu laughed with tears in his eyes. He carefully removed the whole piece of rag that had been softened by the hot towel, threw it into the trash can under the bed, and then went to deal with the bloody coat whose edge was completely in place with the skin. .One late night, with a small lamp ironing the air, a tightly covered curtain, and the only soft and firm bed, he replied softly, with a soft liquid trembling on the base of his tongue: "But you Always say I'm smart."

"Smart fools abound."

"What about me? Am I one of them too?"

"you are not."

"Then what am I?"

"...you are the one in my heart."

He Qin lay on the pillow, his golden-plated black hair resting on his muscular shoulders, he frowned slightly, and with the same tone, he repeated lightly again: "You are the one I put most in my heart. "

He didn't smile, he didn't bend his pretty eyebrows, he didn't whisper love words to Wen Zheliu teasingly like in the past, he just looked straight ahead, and then said it twice steadily and quietly.

Wen Zheliu did not respond yet, he continued: "At that time, Adelaide was very ill, and no one knew whether he would recover. But there must be a leader to succeed him, so they elected He Rui. "

His tone was full of indifference, like a bystander who stayed out of the way, and finally absorbed enough heat and encouragement from Wen Zheliu's palm, and he was able to speak smoothly in one breath: "A child who is not yet an adult can sit down It’s useless to delve into the loopholes and absurdities here right now. I can only say that it’s all bad debts made for selfish desires.”

"It's like supporting a puppet...or a little emperor?" Wen Zheliu guessed, "Maybe the people who chose him think that the younger they are, the better they can control them?"

He Qin nodded, and briefly agreed with his speculation: "On the one hand, this is the case. On the other hand, He Rui himself has shown such intentions. Adelaide was still there before, and he had to pay a lot in order to get that position. There was little genuine hard work; now that shortcuts were at hand, he naturally hit it off with some of the directors, and behaved submissively and proactively."

"After he came to power, I, as his twin brother, also obtained the status of a titular inspector. The successor is a marionette, and the inspector is too lazy to take care of things. Perhaps this is the scene some people are most happy to see—it's a pity, they I really underestimated He Rui, and underestimated his natural ability."

Wen Zheliu had to agree.Indeed, in some respects, He Rui is an unreasonable lunatic, but his fanatical obsession, handsome face like a god, and unfathomable scheming and magic power, the bloody eyes radiate A deceptive light... He is like a snake in the Garden of Eden, every drop of venom that flows from the snake letter has the power to betray a city.

"In all fairness, He Rui's charismatic personality is terrifying. His methods of winning over his subordinates, his methods of capturing people's hearts, and his innate ability to inspire people's blood are all solid backing for him to secure his position. His subordinates are very Gather together a motley crew of men of all kinds, whom he calls . . . ”

"... Muspelheim." Wen Zheliu said.

"Yes." He Qin said, "It only took him a short time to basically break away from the control of the board of directors, and he enjoyed a great reputation among radical scientific researchers because he 'dare to let go and let them He Huaizhou is forbidden to involve before trying, but it is actually a small project that does not matter'."

The dripping blood on his lower back was basically wiped off, Wen Zheliu heaved a sigh of relief, because the wound had almost healed, only a few twisted and swollen red marks formed on the skin.

He wanted to get out of bed and pour out the blood in the basin, but He Qin pulled out a nightgown and put it on his body, holding Wen Zheliu down.

"Don't worry about it, take off your shirt and pants, and I'll give you medicine." He took the basin from Wen Zheliu, and put the towel on the side of the basin, "Quick, be obedient."

Wen Zheliu was a little embarrassed, but he still took off his student shirt and pants.Under the golden light of the night, the boy's physique is slender and well-proportioned, his skin is as moist as jade, and even the bruises on it are like the color of precious jade.

There was the sound of pouring water, the sound of washing towels, and the sound of empty basins being placed on the shelf in the bathroom.After a long while, He Qin came in again with a basin of hot water, and when he saw Wen Zheliu, who was sitting on the bed and taking off his socks with his legs bent, his gaze was like being sunk in a lake of sticky glue, sticking to it, unable to move away opened.

He put down the basin, and heard that Zheliu's waist was hurt like him, and it was very difficult to bend over.He Qin walked to the bed, picked up Wen Zheliu's fair ankle with his rough fingers, and helped him unhurriedly roll off the light-colored socks.

Thick eyelashes covered his lowered gaze, and Wen Zheliu couldn't figure out where he was looking, but he always felt that there was something hot moving around his ankles, calves, knees... and even more. Going to some places, the heat made him feel hot all over his body.He moved his legs uncomfortably, and said in a low voice, "...Brother."

As soon as He Qin's movements stopped, he slowly lowered the boy's ankle, his thumb slid across the ankle bone in a circular motion, with an ambiguous feeling of slowly kneading and pressing.

"Little fool," he whispered, "I told you to take off, did you really take off?"

"?" Wen Zheliu had question marks all over his head, "Why don't you just say nothing, didn't you tell me to take off my jacket and pants? I took them off, and I didn't wear anything underneath."

He Qin took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily.He raised his hand, and patted Wen Zheliu's bare calf lightly, gnashing his teeth in his tone: "Go in! One day, sooner or later, I will take you..."

Wen Zheliu heard what he meant, and hurried to the other side of the bed in a panic, and then was lifted back by He Qin, and pressed to nest in front of her.

Behind him is a strong and broad chest, and his slightly bent long legs are blocked on both sides. Wen Zheliu shrinks in the center, being embraced by him, there is really no way to retreat.

He Qin took the cool ointment, gently brushed away the hair on the side of his ear, and touched it on the back of Wen Zheliu's neck, where there were still three bluish fingerprints, which were written by He Rui.

The bloodthirsty desire temporarily overwhelmed the other. He endured for a while, and then said again: "Uncle can't beat him. Gradually, he has more and more chips in his hand, and his ambition and arrogance have reached their peak. It was at this time , who proposed the Eucharistic plan."

The ointment was cool, and He Qin's movements were extremely gentle. Wen Zheliu leaned in his arms comfortably and comfortably, and said, "Oh, it's that... the idea of ​​immortality of mind and temporary preservation of body."

"Then, your parents found me." He Qin said, his voice blew through Wen Zheliu's red ears, and lowered his voice very low, "They hoped that I would exercise my supervisory duties and stop He Rui's actions. Behavior."

Wen Zheliu fell silent for a while.

After a long time, he asked, "They... What kind of people do you think they are?"

"A very good person." He Qin replied, "sincere, kind, intelligent, know the world but not the world. You and them are carved out of the same mold."

Wen Zheliu greedily listened to the few words about his parents, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"I agreed to their request. It's not that their negotiating skills were so superb at that time, and the terms they offered were so generous. On the contrary, their ability to persuade others is really a mess." Tucking her hair behind her ears so as not to get the ointment, "I am willing to agree to them purely because I can feel equal respect from them."

"How old was I then? I didn't talk, and I didn't care about things. There were a lot of people in N-Star who looked down on me and thought I was a freak, but they didn't dare to act wild in front of me. But they can be so natural , talking to me as an equal of a junior, and completely believing that I, a censor who does not deserve the name, has the ability to do all this... This is very surprising to me."

After a stalemate with He Rui for a long time, he heard that Zheliu had a lot of bruises on his body, He Qin first pressed his palms to remove the blood stasis, and then applied medicine to him: "Of course, they also mentioned you and invited me to your house as a guest. "

Wen Zheliu said, "You didn't come."

"I didn't come." He Qin said, "I was too busy at that time. Although I didn't expect He Rui to listen to me, I still went overnight to understand the opinions of both parties, and asked professionals to explain the Eucharist plan for me in detail The disadvantages and benefits of this. In fact, it is also funny to say, from the bottom of my heart, if the Eucharist Project can be successful, I also think it is a product of more advantages than disadvantages. At the core, there is only one reason that can stop it-related to' people' discussion."

"We are all human, what qualifications do we have to override the fate of thousands of people? Is the wisdom of geniuses and madmen more noble than the wisdom of ordinary people? The heart and joy of an emperor ruling a country is like a traveler seeing a flower Is happy heartbeat and joy greater? The world is interpreted by countless ordinary blessings, misfortunes, sorrows and joys, who can think that this ordinary is insignificant?"

"You want to lead the times, why do you?" He Qin's tone was indifferent and cold, "Why are you higher than all living beings, why are you arrogant, why do you think you have the right to sacrifice the lives of a small number of people in exchange for A future where most people don’t know what to do? It’s ridiculous when you know you can’t even open a bottle.”

Wen Zheliu opened his mouth, and missed the point: "Wait... that guy can't open the bottle cap?"

"No," He Qin sarcastically said, "His fingers became clumsier than noodles when he took the bottle opener. He was often ridiculed at the ceremony that required opening the bottle in public."

After a pause, He Qin said: "I failed to convince him, I had already guessed the result. But what he did next was what really angered me."

"……What's up?"

"He knows who came to me to be this lobbyist," He Qin pressed his fiery palm on Wen Zheliu's waist, "I have no desires, no desires, and he can't deal with me, so he went to blame the scientific research under the uncle's department." personnel - including uncles and aunts."

The blood was rubbed away one by one, and the burning pain stimulated Wen Zheliu's brain, making him look at the dark room ahead, unable to blink.

"This is the beginning of my struggle with him. He is the successor who is determined to forge ahead. Behind me stands the chief designer of Nova City... The two sides came and went, and it was a long fight." He Qin exhaled wearily. "Later, Adelaide's illness miraculously improved, and he began a long, but at least somewhat hopeful recovery, and third-party voices began to appear within N-Star. So He Rui retreated and kept the research and development progress a secret His Eucharist plan was hidden, but eventually it was… cracked.”

"It was cracked by someone," Wen Zheliu said quietly, "was it cracked by my parents?"

He Qin's voice seemed to be suddenly swallowed up in outer space, and after a while, he finally said a word: "Yes."

"And then?" Wen Zheliu took the initiative to ask, "He Rui said, he asked you to choose between Mr. He Huaizhou and scientific researchers including my parents. You..."

The last sentence came to an abrupt end, and in the silent night, he suddenly became speechless.

You chose Mr. He Huaizhou, your relative, is that right?

"Hey." Wen Zheliu called softly, "...Oh, my injury hurts so much."

He Qin hugged him tightly, his bare|naked skin, his arms burning like fire, almost made Wen Zheliu and himself melt into one.He considered it over and over again, and said hastily: "Ningning, I won't justify myself, and I won't say anything else. If I could open my heart to you, I would do it! But I can only do it completely. tell you."

"On the day when the site was cracked, the research and development progress of the Eucharist project had reached 92%, and it was about to be completely completed. The moment it was completed, they would immediately put it on the experimental body for a compatibility test, and then permanently back up the Eucharist project. The game cabin connecting Nova City with the real world spreads virally. And this information was told to me by a dozen scientific researchers headed by your parents on their way to the secret base."

"After they realized this, they immediately made a decision. They will use their high-level authority to sneak into He Rui's base in disguise, because they are the only ones who have the ability to destroy the Eucharist plan."

Wen Zheliu listened silently without interrupting.

The time is too long to imagine, obviously the faces of his parents have gradually blurred in his mind, but when he heard He Qin's narration—like an invisible and kind call from his blood, he could immediately imagine that his parents were hugging each other. How to do this with a generous heart to die.

There is no future, no future, only the shimmering path of science and truth complement each other... Only love is everlasting and gentle.

He Qin went on to say: "However, He Rui saw through their plan and had already made preparations. I was already on the way, but he suddenly contacted me, saying that He Huaizhou drank a nanobomb with a real person identification system this morning. , Now the countdown starts, only when I sense my approach, the bomb will automatically decompose into harmless substances in the blood vessel."

"He asked me, should I go back to save the old man now, or continue to go to him?"

"If I go back, He Huaizhou will be saved, but every once in a while, he will kill an infiltrating scientific researcher; if I insist on saving them, it's not like he can't hold his hand high, but He Huaizhou will be blown into a ball of blood foam .”

"...He asked me, how should I choose?"
