The Uncanny Valley Travel Guide

His breath brushed heavily behind Wen Zheliu, the smell of the ointment lingered sticky, the pungent mint bitter fragrance was dense and moist, and even tiny droplets of water could condense on the skin.

"At that time, the situation was urgent. Uncle knew that a ghost had been planted beside him, so he hurried to my side. The time could have been caught up..."

"Originally." Wen Zheliu's lips squirmed, and he repeated dully.

"...The twelve infiltrated researchers all wore thunderstorm devices." He Qin's voice trembled, "The last sentence we received..."

Wen Zheliu was so confused, he curled up in He Qin's arms, trying to use his brain, thinking about what this meant and what result it represented.

“…the last sentence we received was, ‘The last hurdle of the Eucharist project has been broken, 96.8% progress. Sorry, but we have no choice.’”

Wen Zheliu slowly opened his eyes wide, as if seeing a blooming spark in the darkness.

He Qin hugged Wen Zheliu tightly with a thick and soft quilt and his arms, as if he wanted to use his body to prop up a small world for him, "The fire was so intense that the main building of the base was basically destroyed ... Only He Rui and a small number of his cronies hid in the shelter in time and escaped the catastrophe."

"I caught him out, I almost killed him, I..." He Qin's arms around Wen Zheliu were also trembling invisibly, "I broke his spine, his limbs. He was covered all over It's blood, but he just looked at me and smiled. So I changed my mind and decided that I can't just let him die. His body will be locked in a confinement room on the [-]th floor underground, and his mind will also be exiled to the Nova City. The world...he will be the first and only experiencer of the Eucharist program."

"I regret it...I regret it." He hugged Wen Zheliu tightly, "I regret that I didn't find out who the ghost was, I didn't stop his plan earlier, I didn't...not at that time I'll see you."

"..." Wen Zheliu was still in a daze, he stared at the front strangely, and it took him a long time to find his voice.

what to say.

What can I say?

"...They, they just left."

"I'm sorry." He Qin said hoarsely, "I'm sorry."

The smell of the ointment was cold and stinging, Zhe Liu closed his eyes after smelling it: "Why do you say sorry? You did nothing wrong."

"I have kept it from you for a long time." He Qin said, "I am afraid that you will be sad, and I am afraid that you will blame me, and I am afraid that you really think that my love for you is out of guilt and compensation. Every day, I am in the end. struggling with the choice to tell you the truth."

"You said it," Wen Zheliu murmured, "You said that people's feelings are so complicated, there's no such thing as who is right and who is wrong... But at the beginning, you must have felt sorry for me, right?"

He Qin said: "...Yes, I can't deny that."

Wen Zheliu's mind is in a mess.

He curled up in the warm thick quilt, but his lips were trembling slightly. He looked at the darkness in front of him and heard He Qin say: "But later, my feelings also slowly changed...you are so bright, just like the real The sun, the energy is constantly radiating kindness and heat to those around me. Just looking at you... just looking at you, I feel that my stupidity can be forgiven. I want to catch you, catch you A beam of light."

Wen Zheliu was silent for a moment, then he moved slowly and turned over in He Qin's arms, not caring that the ointment on his body stained his nightgown.He Qin stiffened his body and let him do whatever he wanted.

Wen Zheliu stretched out her arms and hugged his waist slowly.

He Qin's body trembled, and his breathing was stopped by this reconciliation-like action.He lowered his head and stared at Wen Zhe Liu's fluffy hair in the darkness, unable to believe that forgiveness and redemption came so quickly.

He even hesitated for a moment before reaching out his hand slowly and hugging Wen Zheliu's body again.

Wen Zheliu's voice came up from below: "After they left...why didn't you come to me right then?"

Why didn't you take me away, why did you leave me alone?

"Because I can't find you at all." He Qin pressed trembling lips between Wen Zheliu's black hair, and the two hugged each other intimately, as if they could last forever, "You...you are like the world Evaporated, without your file, without any information about you. I don't know your name, I don't know your appearance, and even the information of relatives has been wiped clean. Every time the search procedure is carried out to the last step, You will be stopped by an invisible wall."

"I don't know if this was done by my uncle or aunt to protect you, or because of other considerations. However, I have been looking for you for many years... for many years."

Wen Zheliu suddenly remembered their first meeting.

A tall man is sitting under the bright sun of Nova City. He wears a mask that covers half of his face. His beautiful eyes are slightly squinted. He looks into the distance thoughtfully and lonely. Then he turns his head and looks at Look at the location of the beverage store.

So he took out six copper coins, bought a glass of lemonade to cool off the heat, walked up to the man, and said to him with a smile:

"It's hot today, and the real-time temperature here will also be adjusted to be hotter. Have something to drink? Let me treat you."

"Ning Ning," he heard He Qin's nasal voice tremblingly calling, "Your name is Wen Zheliu, not only Wen Zheliu in this nocturne, but also Wen Zheliu, who can't miss the love of his hometown, or Wen Shu" 'The continuation of 'Liu Huaimeng' is their precious crystallization. Going around, I tried all means, but the first time I saw your real name, I knew that I finally...found you."

Wen Zheliu gritted his teeth, his nasal cavity was sore, he wanted to endure it, but it was really unbearable.Those ten years of grievances, the anxiety of being dependent on others, and the exploitation and injury of blood relatives - he lives under the eaves of so-called relatives, but he wants to exile his heart outside the eaves, without any warmth and comfort.He has teachers, classmates and friends, but their help can only cure the symptoms but not the root cause. Although they are all sincere, they can only shield him from the wind and rain for a while, but cannot completely cure him. A heart that can go.

And now, finally someone said, I have been looking for you for many years, I have not given up, I can finally hug you, say sorry to you, and I love you.

Countless hot and violent emotions surged up, like the foam in the depths of a swamp, which experienced viscous extrusion, went through a long journey, and finally rose to the surface of the water, causing him to tremble and lose control completely.

Wen Zheliu was buried in He Qin's arms, weeping bitterly.He cried until he couldn't breathe, until his throat was choked, and he cried until he lost his voice and his vision was black.

Unlike usual, He Qin didn't comfort him, he just hugged the body of the person in his arms tightly, allowing him to let those memories flow out with tears.

"On the day of the auction, I saw a corner of your past life through the ring." He Qin said quietly, "I regret it very much. I saw the wound on your face and heard you say how your current guardian used your parents Relics threaten you, embezzle the property left by your parents... I can only roughly imagine what happened to you through a few words. But I suddenly saw the passing picture, heard the voice, and the confusion and disappointment in the past The anger that went to the ground all burned at once and almost burned me to death."

"You are my most important person, and my love for you does not grow on guilt." He Qin said.

"Cry, cry tired, sleep well, wake up tomorrow, it's a brand new day, a brand new life."

"...I love you, baby."

In the flood of tears, Wen Zheliu's nose was red, but his face and forehead were cold and white with sweat.It was as if a newborn baby had found a haven of peace of mind, and was finally able to concentrate on crying once in this silent night.

He was so dizzy from crying that he almost forgot why he was crying.Gradually, the crying gradually turned into small, rapid sobs, and then eased down, turning into sobs one after another, and finally, the sobs also became inconsistent——when it subsided slowly, he Already asleep.

He Qin couldn't laugh or cry, sighed again, carefully helped him adjust his sleeping position, and lay down with his arms around him.

·

The next morning, Wen Zheliu opened his eyes, but his mind was still blank.

He stared blankly at the plain ceiling. The quilt covering his body was soft and warm, wrapping him like a cloud. In such a cloudy morning, his bones were crisp.

Why... Where am I, what should I do?

Wen Zheliu looked around in a daze, it looked like an ordinary bedroom, but he just felt uneasy, always felt that there was something he should do, but he didn't do it...

broken!He still has class!I'm going to be late for class!

He lost all sleepiness at once, got up from the bed, hurriedly grabbed the clothes with one hand, and hurriedly reached for the slippers under the bed with one foot.At this moment, He Qin held a cup of hot milk, leaned against the door of the bedroom, and looked at him narrowly.

"What's the rush?" He asked, "I've asked for leave for you, don't you want to sleep for a while?"

Wen Zheliu was taken aback for a moment, he kept his left hand stretched out from the sleeve of his shirt, and looked back at He Qin with the slippers hooked on his feet. The memory of last night finally came back slowly at this time, reminding him how it all happened thing.

The slipper slipped from the upturned toes to the ground, Wen Zheliu's erect spine collapsed, and he let out a breath of relief.

"...Thank you brother for asking me for leave." He drooped his eyelids vaguely, and his tense spirit seemed to relax at the thought of not having to go to class.

"Thank you." He Qin walked to the bed, handed him the hot milk, and reached out to cover his forehead with concern, to see if he had a fever, "Is he better?"

Thinking of those conversations last night, Wen Zheliu was still very complicated, and didn't know how to face it.

He thought hard for a while, but still discouraged, he said, "I... I don't know."

"Perhaps... should I feel relieved? I feel panicked again. Should I feel happy? I'm not that happy. Anyway, I have the determination to kill He Rui, but..."

"It's okay, I've said it long ago, let's just take our time in this muddle-headed way, no matter how many secrets and obstacles there are, it won't prevent my heart from moving closer to you." His chest lightly tapped.

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it." He Qin smiled slightly, "Leave the problem to time. Time is always the best teacher, although it always kills the students in the end. However, its answer may not be the answer." It's what you really want."
