One day, the parallel world collapsed

Mo Bai looked at the clear eyes of the young man in front of him who was looking up.

The vanilla burning in the furnace was the smell similar to the one he had found in Yunmiao Peak's palace after traveling around.When I smell it, I feel familiar and feel at ease, as if with my eyes closed, I can hear Du Gong training the guards on the peak outside the temple, I can hear the footsteps of the four maids coming and going, and I can hear the bell of Qingling City under the peak. Sound... Even if you open your eyes, everything is empty.

It is said that humans and gods have the same appearance, the same soul, the same heart, the same flesh and blood, the only difference is that humans accelerate the passage of life.

Oh... what a ridiculous statement.

Humans and gods, what a different existence.Humans have three souls and seven souls, but the gods have only one touch, called the primordial spirit; the gods have weak emotions, which can keep the chest from beating.Human beings are such a colorful living body, while gods... more often they can be said to be dead things.

It's just that life is always fragile.

Mo Qi and his parents were both victims of the spirit devourer's rebellion more than ten years ago.Whether it's luck or misfortune, when the gods arrived, Mo Qi's parents had been sucked dry, their remains had been eaten, and their brains were all over the place.Next to their dead bodies, children are abused.After all, the essence has been sucked, and the bones have been damaged. The magic of the gods can only stabilize it so as not to dissipate the soul.For so many years, from a child to a teenager, only because the jade hanging on Mo Qi's chest suppressed him, his soul never drifted away.And this, I'm afraid it's the reason why he often runs into ghosts.

Mo Bai once thought that if he found out the reason for the young man and solved the knot in his heart for many years, the entanglement between them would be settled.However, after he learned about what had happened from Xia Qingfeng, he thought again that it might be difficult to tell the truth.He couldn't fully tell the story of the tragic situation back then, nor could he completely ignore the young man's feelings after he learned the truth.

Left and right, he put himself in it.This is also the reason why he has been somewhat unhappy during this period of time.He wanted to stay out of it, but it became more and more impossible to stay out of it.

Alas... Mo Bai sighed softly in his heart, that's all.

"Brother Mobai?"

Mo Qi looked at Mo Bai's face.He waited for the other party's answer, and he knew that the other party would definitely not hide it from him like others.All these years, he didn't know why he was different from others, he didn't even know why he was an orphan.He didn't want to live in ignorance, and he didn't want to suffer in ignorance the fear and pain that he didn't expect but couldn't avoid.

Even now, there is a beam of light in his life, enough to dispel all the darkness.But he still hopes that he can walk over it completely and clearly, and reach out to touch it.

The palm of the boy holding his fingertips conveyed a shallow warmth, like a breeze blowing across the grass under the bright sunshine in spring.People like him, words and deeds, are comfortable.

It is said that he is fragile, but occasionally he appears strong; it is said that he is cheerful, and occasionally he appears sensitive.

Contradictions.

Mo Bai thought.

He withdrew his hand, leaned over, and touched the boy's forehead.Gently, one touch away.

"Yes." He said.

There is something wrong with your spirit and it has something to do with your parents' accident.

Mo Qi's eyelashes trembled.It seems that he has prepared the groundwork in his heart, and his performance is still calm.He took a deep breath, and after a while, he asked, "So, is my soul problem serious?"

Perhaps he wanted to ask what his soul was about, and he chose a compromise method because he was afraid of embarrassing Mo Bai or exceeding his own capacity.Mo Bai raised the corner of his mouth, "It's not serious." His fingertips pointed to the hanging jade on Mo Qi's chest, "This one, don't throw it away."

Hearing this, Mo Qi touched the jade pendant on his chest, which was already at the same body temperature as his own, and said softly, "This piece of jade was hung up by my grandparents in the countryside when I was able to see things that others couldn't see. of."

"I used to feel like a freak. I thought God was unfair. Why am I the only one like this." Mo Qi's tone was very calm, and he even smiled, "No one can understand. How scared I was at that time. At that time, the children around me were unwilling to play with me. They should also be afraid of me. They were afraid that I would suddenly yell, cry, or faint. No one The grown-ups felt sorry for me, and the kids didn't say anything bad about me, they just..." Having said that, Mo Qi frowned, "They just hid from me."

"It's much better after I have this piece of jade." Mo Qi shrugged his shoulders after he said hi , it will be fine once you get used to it.”

"Brother Mobai, do you know?" The boy raised his head, feeling a little excited. "After graduating from junior high school, Ji Jin and I made an appointment to go camping together. One morning, we got up to watch the sunrise. When I saw the sunrise jumping out, there were many lights like colorful fireflies in the forest. Flying across the sky. That scene...is really beautiful."

"And that scene, only I can see."

"So now, if it weren't for the occasional danger, I would think that maybe these things that happened to me are actually a gift from God. Especially——" Mo Qi paused at this point.He didn't laugh until Mo Bai raised his eyelashes to meet his gaze, and continued: "You Qi, I met you, a god. It's like a dream."

Mo Bai's eyes moved.

The boy looked up at him, his eyes reflected the light, clean and soft.Mo Bai stretched out his hand, and flicked it gently on Mo Qi's forehead, showing a slight smile. "Are you awake?"

Mo Qi was taken aback.Then he laughed and nodded: "Well, I woke up, so it wasn't a dream."

"Brother Mo Bai." He said, "I still want to ask—"

Mo Bai's index finger touched Mo Qi's lips, as if a piece of snow had fallen.

"Don't ask." Mo Qi heard him say. "No matter what happened back then, what is the truth. The Sri Lankan has passed away. You need to live your own life well, and you should not bear other weights."

Mo Qi lowered his gaze. "good."

My parents, their souls, rest in peace?

Mo Qi got the answer to this question in his dream that night.In the dream, his parents were holding his hand from left to right, and they walked for a long time with a smile on the grass.Then, he stopped, and his parents were still walking forward, holding each other, looking back at him and smiling.They didn't greet him, they just walked, walked, kept walking, towards the place where there was no end in sight.

We are fine, boy.

He stood and watched them walk away, and then he waved to them, weeping.

And beside the bed outside the dream, the fingertips of the young man in moonlight retracted from between his brows, and wiped away the tears rolling down from the corners of his eyes.

------

After Linda started school, Mo Bai returned to his normal pace of life again.And it was only after that that he saw Xia Qingfeng again - before that, Mo Bai had assumed that the other party might have died during an accident.

The renovation of the Linda Summer Institute included their research institute.So when the school started, Mo Bai and several old professors sorted out the materials for several days.The school took care of their age and sent cadres from the student union to help, but it could not offset that Mo Bai had basically done so much work that he hadn't done in the past tens of thousands of years-after all, he was not within the age range that the school leaders took care of.

When the president of the student union who came to help ran over to call Mo Bai, Mo Bai had time to tidy up his desk.

"Senior Mo Bai." The door was open, and the other party knocked twice on the door panel, grinning when he looked up: "Some professors asked you to go to the conference room."

Mo Bai locked the documents in his hand into the drawer, "OK."

The door of the meeting room was ajar, and before Mo Bai reached the door, he heard voices from inside: "The professors have worked hard during this time."

"It's hard work, we old guys are all dependent on the government to take care of us, and we're just doing our best."

Mo Bai opened the door calmly and walked in.

A whole room of people turned their heads to look at him—and Mo Bai's eyes only fell on the person standing behind Gao Zhanli, and when he saw the corner of his mouth raised towards him, a spiritual voice came into his ears: "Surprised or not, unexpected ?”

Mo Bai: Hehe.

"Mo Bai, come here quickly." Guo Xianshi waved to Mo Bai, "Director Gao brought the leaders of the government department over, you come to get acquainted."

"That's right." Gao Zhanli also laughed at the side, "In our job, we will have to deal with people in the future. Young people, get to know each other well."

He introduced Mo Bai to the two young men in suits beside him: "This is Mo Bai, a researcher at the institute, and also the favorite student of several of our professors, a once-in-a-century high-achieving student."

These words made the old professors holding water glasses feel comfortable listening to them, but Mo Bai's performance was the most calm, and he only said "too good reputation", especially depending on the noble appearance of fame and fortune.

"I have admired your name for a long time." The young man who didn't look like a leader stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Mo Bai, raised his eyebrows, and raised the corners of his mouth. "I'm Xia Qingfeng."

hehe.Mo Bai stretched out his hand to touch him expressionlessly, very close to strangers.

He felt that Xia Qingfeng had probably been struck by lightning when he returned to the heaven this time, and that he was about to be as boring as Mu Zichen, which made the number one god who had always been ascetic wanted to beat him up.

As for why Xia Qingfeng appeared here, Mo Bai said that he didn't really care.

After Xia Qingfeng greeted Mo Bai, the older man beside him also kindly extended his palm to Mo Bai: "Hello, my name is Xu Qingquan."

After the other party finished speaking, Xia Qingfeng added in a spiritual tone: "My senior brother."

"Mr. Xu and Mr. Xia both work in the National Unnatural Investigation and Research Department. They came here this time mainly because of the God-Slaying Sword that was unearthed some time ago." Gao Zhanli said.

Mo Bai frowned upon hearing this.

Professor Wu took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "The higher-ups intend to hand over the Tu Shenjian to these two to take away."

Guo Xianshi interjected: "You two, don't think our old man is talkative. It's no problem for you to give the Tu Shenjian to you to take away, but what's the reason?"

"Yeah, our research has reached the end, and we suddenly said that we want to take it away, so we have to give us an explanation?"

Professor Wu waved his hand, "This cultural relic, after all, belongs to the country. It's just that we old antiques have devoted all our lives to research, and we don't feel happy about it."

Mo Bai's eyes also fell on Xu Qingquan and Xia Qingfeng.

"Actually, there's nothing to hide from you guys." Xu Qingquan replied warmly, "You guys also know that there are some phenomena that cannot be explained by science now. Our department was established to deal with these things at the beginning, so Let us take away the God-Slaying Sword first, and when we are sure that there is no danger, we will still send the sword back to the Provincial Museum, so that the professors' research will not be delayed."

Gao Zhanli whispered a few words in the ears of a few elderly people, and Mo Bai heard him mentioning the incident that the Tu Shenjian could not be lifted or unsheathed at the beginning, and a staff member's hand was scorched by electric shock.

Guo Xianshi nodded, "However, didn't these things never happen again? By the way, Mo Bai—" He pointed at Mo Bai, "Didn't Mo Bai succeed in taking out the sword? Isn't it good. "

"Oh my professor, didn't Mo Bai himself say it, it was a fluke." Gao Zhanli was still doing the work of several old people, and his tone was full of bitterness. "You all don't know that since the Tu Shenjian came, the surveillance in our research center has been broken several times. Another time, the alarm system of the entire museum went off, and a group of people rushed to the research center in the middle of the night. Fortunately, nothing was lost. "

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yes." Gao Zhanli sighed again and again, "We have been doing this job for many years, and we have encountered strange things. Sometimes, it's really not that we want to give up Taozi, and there is really no way."

Gao Zhanli's words successfully silenced several old professors.

Xu Qingquan promised at the right time: "We will still send the sword back after all the problems with the sword have been dealt with."

So in the end, Tu Shenjian was taken away by the people brought by Xu Qingquan and the others.

When Mo Bai was going to take the bus after get off work, he ran into Xia Qingfeng who was waiting there again at the bus stop.He didn't really want to pay attention to the other party, he didn't even glance at him, and just got into the car.

Xia Qingfeng saw that he was too lazy to take care of himself, so he hurriedly chased him up. "Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, don't you want to ask me why I went?"

Mo Bai walked to the last row and sat in the innermost right, and replied nonchalantly: "It has nothing to do with me."

"Tsk, it's boring." Xia Qingfeng curled his lips.

Mo Bai glanced at him.

He raised his eyebrows, "You don't have to doubt, the department we are talking about is real, but it is full of ghosts and monsters. I think you can understand it without me describing it, so our department has always been hidden, except for the relevant high-level people. , basically no one will know the specific situation. You and I have seen how difficult the Tu Shenjian is." Seeing Mo Bai looking at him, Xia Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, "Don't say you never thought of taking it out of the world, not now As you wish. Unfortunately, your indifference makes me sad."

Mo Bai resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

"Where will the Slayer Sword be placed?"

"My senior brother will arrange this. If you want to go, I can take you there in the future."

"Properly handle it."

Mo Bai didn't care much about the details, he believed that Xia Qingfeng could handle it well if he said that he could handle it well, as long as there were no more big troubles, this matter could be put aside for the First God.As for the [Unnatural Investigation and Research Department], which sounds weird at first glance, Mo Bai has no interest at all.On the left and right, the human world has reached some kind of consensus or agreement with the god world and several other worlds. This kind of situation has not happened before, anyway, it is not his turn to be the first god to take care of it.

"By the way, didn't you tell me that you saw the keel flute before? How is it? Is there a follow-up?"

Mo Bai thought to himself: Thank you for remembering.

He handed the phone to Xia Qingfeng.

"Heh." Xia Qingfeng slipped the message Lu Weisheng sent to Mo Bai, "He said that the flute has been returned, and asked when we need to see it?" He raised his eyes to look at Mo Bai, "Then, you and him make an appointment time?"

Mo Bai nodded: "When?"

"As soon as possible."

Mo Bai sent Lu Weisheng a WeChat message according to Xia Qingfeng's wishes.

Xia Qingfeng lay his arms on the car seat and watched Mo Bai typing indifferently, "Hey, do you think there is any way to get this young master to give us the bone flute? Why don't you try to beg him? I see him I have a different feeling for you than for others."

Mo Bai raised his eyes expressionlessly, and Xia Qingfeng clearly felt the suppression from the opponent's spiritual power.He quickly stopped: "OK, OK, pretend I didn't say anything."

Lu Weisheng's message was quickly replied: [Tomorrow I will go back early after finishing my work, if it is convenient, you can come over in the evening. ]

Xia Qingfeng nodded, and Mo Bai sent two words: [Yes. ]
