Delusion Master

Two weeks later, City F was almost turned upside down. A whole bunch of officials from the mayor to relevant departments and institutions were wiped out, including the head of the Brain Research Institute, as well as shareholders who invested privately, together with Mr. Bai Businesses have not been spared the disaster either.

After Bai Jingxuan's death, Bai Yuan firmly resigned from the board of directors, sold all the stocks and properties under his name, and fled abroad with a huge sum of money, but he was unscathed.

In the official announcement, it was vague about what happened that day in the underground base of the Brain Research Institute. It only said that the victims who escaped from the laboratory had clashed with the security guards. Those who have undergone brain domain development experiments should contact the government as soon as possible to receive physical examination and humanitarian assistance.

However, the arrest warrants for Bai Yuan and Wei Lin have not been lifted, but the charge of "terrorist" has been changed, defined as "suspected of murder and destruction of public facilities".

Wu Jinghan had another quarrel with his old man because of this.

Mr. Wu hit his impulsive son again with a back-beating hammer, and scolded: "You think I don't want to pull it off? It's because the higher-ups can't allow them to be free! Don't even think about it, these two people can blow up the base casually, Fighting against armed forces, manipulating public opinion, instigating the people, the most frightening thing is that with such astonishing special abilities, no brain evolutionist is their opponent. They are still rebellious, what a big security risk!"

Wu Jinghan said in grief and indignation: "Didn't you read the information? They don't have much time left! Especially Wei Lin! Can't they let them spend the rest of their days in peace!"

"Yes, as long as they turn themselves in. I will use this old man to ensure that their future life will be safe and secure, and they will never be embarrassed. To put it bluntly, the higher-ups are also worried that they know that their days are numbered. If their spirits are stimulated, If you lose your mind and plan to take revenge on the society, it will be very destructive!" Mr. Wu slapped the back of the sofa and roared.

Wu Jinghan snorted coldly: "The superior wants to put them under house arrest? That's not possible. According to my understanding of them, they would rather die than agree to be kept in captivity like a beast. This is the same as what the Brain Research Institute did. What's the difference!"

"The higher-ups have an overall consideration, starting from the overall situation, and putting the overall situation first. If I were you, I would present the facts and reason, and persuade them to surrender. As long as these two people voluntarily accept control, the higher-ups will be at ease."

"I'm not going! I don't have the face to say this. You police will continue to arrest you under orders. I want to see if I can catch it!" Wu Jinghan said, picking up the pet bag with the propeller and slamming the door angrily. .

Mr. Wu smashed his beloved purple sand teapot on the door panel.

After Wu Jinghan made sure no one was following them, he found Wei Lin and Bai Yuan who were hiding in a small hotel in the suburbs.

Bai Yuan has already installed a black prosthetic eye, which looks no different from normal people.Wu Jinghan thought that he wore black contact lenses to cover up the original rare eye color, so he had no unnecessary reaction, and directly handed over the propeller to the original owner, and mentioned his old man's speculation about the intention of the superior.

"So, you should go away as soon as possible." He persuaded sincerely, "For those in power, order is far more important than justice."

Wei Lin patted his arm gratefully: "Thank you, Old Wu, you have done your best to us. By the way, there is one more thing I want to trouble you for."

After listening, Wu Jinghan nodded and said, "No problem, it's a trivial matter."

That night, the delusion-breaking masters who received the news came to a factory building in the suburban industrial area one after another to meet Wei Lin and Bai Yuan.

After accomplishing a great event and regaining freedom, everyone's spirits were very uplifted, and they chatted together.

Wei Lin glanced around and found that the office couple Du Ximing and Jian Xin were standing in the corner with a gloomy expression, hugging each other without saying a word.And there was one person missing, Chi Xiaochi was gone.

"Where's Chi Xiaochi?" He asked.

The surroundings were too noisy, Wei Lin raised his voice and asked again: "Has any of you seen Chi Xiaochi?"

Everyone immediately quieted down, looked left and right, and shook their heads one after another.

Jian Xin combed her hip-length black straight hair into a fluffy long braid and hung it on her chest. Right now she was tugging at her braid in frustration and irritability, as if hesitating how to speak.Du Ximing held her shoulder comfortingly, his face was so white that it was almost transparent, showing deep pain.He whispered: "Tell everyone, what should come will always come."

"Chi Xiaochi... is gone." Jian Xin said in a shy voice.

"--What?" Everyone was stunned and shocked.

The word "go" is so heavy, it is naturally not a literal meaning.

"What's going on? When I evacuated the underground base half a month ago, my 'Nerve Impulse Network' was able to connect to him, so it was fine!" Xin Le took the lead to ask.

"Ximing and I only met him last week. He changed to a McDonald's store and continued to work as a delivery boy. He ran around the streets in uniform with a happy face. We invited him to dinner, and he said that he had completely gotten rid of it. In the past, now I am very energetic, and I can work on the day shift and night shift without any problem. As I was talking, I suddenly passed out with bleeding from the seven orifices. Xi Ming and I were so frightened that we rushed him to the hospital and spent most of the night in the rescue. Save me..."

Jian Xin's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "We have all read the information, we know the sequelae of brain development, and we know that our life span will be shorter than ordinary people. But it was not until I saw Chi Xiaochi being pushed out with a white cloth on his face, that I really realized it." I truly understand that the gate between life and death is a click and then falls... From that day on, I have been thinking about how long I have left, how long Xi Ming has left, and everyone else. ..."

She was too sad to speak, Du Ximing took her face into his arms and comforted her in a low voice.

There was silence in the field, only Jian Xin's sobbing echoed faintly.

Everyone knows that death will come sooner or later, but when the deadline is not in sight, it is just an abstract shadow, which floats away in a flash, and it can also pretend not to care, and use a boat to reach the bridge naturally. Straight to comfort myself.However, once the time limit is perceived to be approaching, unwillingness, panic and fear will come suddenly, and they will stretch out their sharp claws to grab people tightly, and there will be no peace from then on.

Chi Xiaochi's death is like that lingering shadow, which is now wrapped up and covered everyone's heart.

Lu Mi's chest was heaving up and down, and she thumped the wall bitterly, "I'm not afraid of death, but what about my family, what about my parents? Who will give them money for medical treatment and retirement?"

Xin Le's face was sullen, and her tone was not kind: "It's a lie to say that you are not afraid of death. Who is not afraid of death? It's just a resignation to fate when you can't escape!"

"Resign yourself to fate, that's what I think too." Du Ximing hugged Jian Xin who was sobbing, and said in a deep voice, "Xin Xin and I have decided to leave China and travel around the world. How far we can go, how long we can see How long is the scenery, if there is some time left, find a beautiful seaside town to live in, and face life or death together.”

"If, we take out the chip in the brain through surgery—" Qi Xiuming just said half a sentence, and found that everyone looked at him in unison, trembling subconsciously, and the volume of the voice immediately became unconfident, " I mean if..."

"If you have something to say, let's fart!" Lu Mi couldn't help yelling at him.

Qi Xiuming took a breath, and then said: "Will it reduce the speed of cell consumption and prolong the lifespan?"

"You think you're the only one who has thought of this?" Fu Xiaomin said coolly, "I've seen a brain surgeon a long time ago, and they said that the instrument can't scan it out, so I have to open the skull to determine the location. The chip uses microfluidics. The control technology has long been fused with the brain nerves, the operation risk is extremely high, and the mortality rate exceeds 99%. If it were not for this, I would have signed the document last week."

Lu Mi looked at Bai Yuan and Wei Lin uncertainly, "What do you two think?"

Bai Yuan said lightly: "Fu Xiaomin is right. And even if the chip is successfully taken out, the damage to the body will be irreversible. You may live a few days or a few years longer, or you may die directly on the operating table. The latter much more likely."

"——Then what are you going to do?" Several people asked at the same time.

Wei Lin smiled casually, and took Bai Yuan's arm: "Buy vegetables, cook, eat, wash dishes, take a bath and go to bed. Do whatever you want. Could it be that a meteorite will hit the earth and the world will be destroyed in a few days? Is the day not alive?

"Meeting today is a formal farewell to everyone. Also, I would like to remind you that you have seen the government's appeal. It provides free examination and treatment for everyone. Maybe there is a glimmer of life, or maybe it becomes a new experimental subject. , are all grown-ups, and make their own decisions about where to go.”

As soon as his words fell, Xin Le said resolutely: "I won't go! I don't believe in any institution or government now! I'm going to find a top brain surgery expert in the world and take out that crap. Even if It’s death, I’m also a pure and pure human being, I’m not the shitty reinvented person or biochemical person that is said on the Internet!”

"I, I..." Qi Xiuming muttered for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice, "Can I go to the operation with you?"

Xin Le squinted at him.He has always looked down on this sissy and psychopath, and always hates him when he has nothing to do, but at this moment, he unexpectedly feels that the other party has a lot of backbone, so he doesn't speak out against him.

Others can't make a decision for a while, and plan to think about it again and discuss it with their family members.

Wei Lin nodded: "I asked Wu Jinghan to make a hidden webpage, and only the default account number and password can log in. If everyone wants to take an account number, they can leave a message on it if they have any questions in the future, or contact each other when necessary .”

He distributed the account password to everyone, and finally said:

Whether it is survival or death, the important thing is to do it out of one's own true will.

The colleagues dispersed gradually, and Lu Mi was the last one to leave.Before leaving, she gave Wei Lin a bear hug, with a complicated expression on her face, "Linlin..."

"I know, Brother Lu, you can't bear to part with me." Wei Lin patted her generous arm lightly, "I want to play with my brothers for a few more days and finish the last online game, but Bai Xiansen will be jealous. Now he wants to eat, drink, and scatter all tied up with me, and no one should bother him."

Lu Mi smiled wryly, and pushed him away: "Same-sex is inhumane. Come on, go on honeymoon!"

Lu Mi also left.

Facing the empty factory building, Wei Lin took a deep breath.

"Relax?" Bai Yuan asked him.

Wei Lin nodded: "There are only two of us left."

Bai Yuan rubbed his forehead hair, "In my eyes, there are always only you and me. Tell me, where do you want to go, or stay here."

According to the current situation, Wei Lin knew that they had to leave F city, or even F province, and go to a remote place beyond reach, or go abroad altogether.

But where to go, he has not yet made up his mind.

"Let's go back to my old house first." He said.

+ + + + + +

In the old-fashioned unit left by Xu Mu, Wei Lin and Bai Yuan cleaned up the traces left by the attacker who broke the door last time, covered the furniture with white cloth, and took away some scattered personal items.

Before leaving, Wei Lin stood at the door, looked at the small clean room, and had a momentary illusion, as if returning to the cabin of 15 years old, the outside was icy and snowy, the wind was howling, the firewood was burning in the room, and there was a rude smell of food .

Xu Mu once gave him a home, and later gave him a house.But he was still wandering in vain, until he met another Bai Yuan who was in vain, and finally took root on the ground and reunited together.

"Mr. Bai..." Wei Lin murmured, uttering the last sound for the first time.

"Ok?"

"I love you so much."

Bai Yuan stared at him blankly, as if he was always expressionless, but also as if he was extremely happy and distressed, not knowing what expression to make.

In the end, he hugged Wei Lin tightly into his arms, kissed the hair on the top of his head, and calmly replied, "Yes."

Before leaving the community, Wei Lin opened the small mailbox to check, and found a postcard and a letter lying in it.

"Huh?" He took it out and flipped through it. The handwriting was the same. He saw that the postmarked postcard was mailed last month. The envelope was a few days ago, and the signature was "Old Lao Cheng".

Wei Lin smiled and said, "Professor Cheng is quite humorous. The first postcard is 'Old Cheng', the second is 'Old Old Cheng', and the last letter is 'Old Old Cheng'. Are you really getting old so fast? I was exhausted with time, and I didn't reply in time, so I neglected his old man."

Since Professor Cheng's heart disease was cured last time and he was awakened from a coma, the other party decided to withdraw from the ancient virus gene research project on the pretext of illness, and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to recuperate.Professor Cheng also made an appointment with Wei Lin to send him a postcard at that time, and he had to write more jokes in reply.

On the postcard, there is a beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, and a few lines of my physical condition, living conditions and blessings are written on the back in a regular manner.On the contrary, Wei Lin was a little curious about the thick letter that was sent later. In my impression, Professor Cheng was not the kind of old man who talked about it.

There was a faint sound of police sirens in the distance, Bai Yuan listened carefully, and said to Wei Lin: "It's time to go, this is not a place to stay for a long time."

Wei Lin put the postcard and envelope into his arms casually, lowered the brim of his hat, and got into the car with Bai Yuan.

+ + + + + +

They drove to another city two thousand kilometers away from City F.

Along the way, the two took turns driving along the highway, provincial road, and county road. They stocked up a lot of food and drinking water in the car. When they were hungry, they would find small restaurants or dry food on the side of the road; Find a grassy field in the countryside to set up a camping tent, drink and barbecue to watch the starry sky.

Wei Lin got a little drunk, and insisted on pressing the cherry tomato with salad dressing on the tip of Mr. Bai's nose, saying that he wanted to draw him a clown costume.Mr. Bai grabbed the fruit with his fingers and dragged Mr. Wei into the tent.

Wei Lin's face was also red, and his eyes were wandering. He smelled of sweet wine all over his body. He was squeezed between the sleeping bag and a pile of ripped-off clothes, complaining that the bed was too small.

Bai Yuan hugged him and turned over, let him sit on his waist, and said in a hoarse voice: "This will save space."

Wei Lin felt that it made sense, and stretched his arms to the back, touched the person below him from the crook of the leg to the buttocks, and squeezed it several times in satisfaction, "Come on, open the legs a little more, so that you can taste Wei Xiaolin's strength."

Bai Yuan almost laughed out loud, and replied with trembling shoulders, "It's already enough..."

He arched his thin and powerful waist upwards, and Wei Lin howled "Aw".

The embers of the bonfire were cold and frosty, and the camping tent was still hot and shaking.

At dawn, Wei Lin woke up from the cold, and octopus-like clung to Bai Yuan in his sleeping bag, absorbing the heat from his body.The cold touch climbed up his calf, Bai Yuan shivered, picked up the foot in a sleepy state, and put it between his thighs.

Wei Lin opened his eyes and suddenly realized that he had fallen asleep before.

How long had he been without sleep, six weeks, seven weeks?Almost forgot what it was like to sleep.But he was sure he had fallen asleep for a little while and had a brief dream.

I can't remember the specific details of the dream, but the fragments still flash in my mind, like shining stars.On every star, there is Bai Yuan's figure.

He turned his head, stared at the man who was close at hand, and couldn't help but kissed the man's ear.

Bai Yuan woke up completely, grabbed the back of Wei Lin's head, and kissed him deeply.

Lips and tongues are twisted, breaths blend, the world is smaller than a tent, smaller than a sleeping bag, only two people who hug tightly can only accommodate two people.

After a long time, Wei Lin pressed the center of his brows to Bai Yuan's forehead, and said softly, "I'm sorry."

Bai Yuan's breath broke, and he resumed after a while, slowly stroking the other's back, speaking calmly: "It's time?"

"Soon. I can feel... like a calling, a pull of gravity..."

"I see. What do you want for breakfast?"

Wei Lin looked at him with tears and smiles, "Yuanyuan..."

Bai Yuan kissed his lips again, and said softly: "I know, Linlin. I love you too."
