rainy night talk

In the star field that is not marked on the star chart, a transport ship jumped out of the space hole.

"Alert, alert, ship off course, request correction. Alert, alert..."

One hand pressed the jumping red button, and the cab fell silent instantly.

The driver turned around, "We have safely arrived at the border of the Zeeman District, requesting instructions on the next step, Professor."

Maslow nodded, squinting his eyes and looking at the boundless universe through the porthole, "Stand by, he's coming soon."

Chen Zhen opened his eyes and found himself standing in a field of ice and snow. The howling wind brought heavy snow and rustled his collar, but he didn't feel cold at all, because this was his mental image.

Between the desolate and desolate world, there are only endless ice and snow and the thorns and iron walls hidden under the ice and snow.Radial black crystals are dotted on both sides of the road, and the rugged ramp extends infinitely into the distance.He couldn't be more familiar with this place, and along this road, he walked all the way to the center of the lake.The frozen giant wave stands like a mountain in the center, and on the curved slope of the wave is a leaning bluestone castle.From a distance, it looks like a painting, everything is frozen at the moment of being washed away.

Without much effort, Chen Zhen climbed up the ice slope and stood in front of the huge iron gate.When he thought that this field was only fitted by some data and codes, he felt incredible, and even the gloomy iron wall in front of him was no longer so scary.He took a breath and pushed open the door.

Standing on the gray floor tiles, Chen Zhen finally felt a little cold.The hall was empty, with a lot of dust floating under the bluish-white light.Where the floor-to-ceiling windows can't see, it's all dark, and the cold wind blows, and whispers sound from the depths of the darkness.All the light is concentrated on the steps - on the second platform stands a huge mirror.

As he remembered, the oval bronze mirror reflected nothing.

"A good guide is like a mirror, he will only reflect the most vulnerable appearance of the enemy."

For some reason, Chen Zhen suddenly remembered what his spiritual teacher said.Maybe it's since then that the mirror has stood here.Thanks to the combat mad teacher, Chen Zhen learned how to control himself: not to reflect on others, nor on himself.Standing in front of the steps, he gently caressed the cold mirror with his hand. Suddenly, his fingers felt a tingling pain. He quickly withdrew his hand and found blood dripping from his fingertips. He leaned closer to look at the surface of the bronze mirror. Suddenly, there appeared A haggard face—it was a child, with a pale complexion, and the eyes were too big for the undersized face, like a pair of round black pearls inlaid.He stared at himself expressionlessly.

Chen Zhen gasped, and he turned his head quickly, staring blankly at the thin child. It was the old self in his memory, but now it was the young Chen Zhen.

Little Chen Zhen tilted his head slightly, and said to him, "You are finally back, Chen Zhen."

"Ha——" Chen Zhen opened his eyes, and the glaring white light above his head made his eyes water.He was like a drowning man who had just been picked up from the water, panting rapidly, covered in sweat, and his oxygen-deprived brain was in chaos.

"Have another nightmare?"

A familiar voice rang in his ears, Chen Zhen turned his head in disbelief, and met a pair of golden brown eyes.

"Louis?"

Louis, who was sitting by the bed, laughed, his flamboyant red hair was tied high behind his head, with a few strands hanging around his shoulders—his hair was much longer than he thought.Chen Zhen remembered that they hadn't seen each other for a few months, but somehow it seemed like they hadn't seen each other for several years.

Chen Zhen sat up, opened his mouth, and suddenly didn't know where to start, so he could only say vaguely, "Are you okay?"

Louis shrugged. "That's it. There's so much going on, it sucks."

Chen Zhen nodded, "Fortunately...we are still brothers."

"Brother," Louis repeated, jokingly: "From the producer level?"

Chen Zhen froze for a moment, barely raised the corner of his mouth, but soon collapsed.

silence.

The two were silent for a while, Louis grabbed Chen Zhen's clenched fist and opened his fingers one by one. "Don't think too much, just let nature take its course."

At this time, Chen Zhen felt that the alienation between the two of them had become much less. Through holding Louis's hand, Chen Zhen felt the warm temperature. This was the real body temperature, but it was not real. "It's really scary."

Louis smiled, "What is true and what is false." His thumb lightly stroked the row of crescent moon marks on Chen Zhen's palm. "Can't our existence be said to be another form of 'alive'? Life is like a play. Maybe in the past, we all lived in the arranged play, but now, we wake up, wake up from the old dream Come here."

Chen Zhen thought about what Louis said, and nodded slightly, "Life is like a play?...Then I will play Chen Zhen." He looked at Louis, "What about you? Who are you playing?"

Louis opened his mouth and smiled even brighter, "William Cosey."

Chen Zhen looked at Louis silently, "...this joke is not funny." He tried to withdraw his hand, but he didn't, and was pulled closer by Louis instead.

"The plot can be vague, but the characters are essential. In the scene of the 'welfare house', you are Chen Zhen, why am I not William?" Louis put his arms around Chen Zhen's waist, and said almost face to face: "We Is it possible to proceed with the next plot now?"

The scorching breath sprayed on his face, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on Chen Zhen's arms.Confused by Louis' sudden change, he pushed Louis away and jumped off the bed.

"Are you crazy?!"

"I'm crazy for you!" Louis shouted, and rushed towards Chen Zhen again.

The two fought in a small space, and soon the vase on the table was smashed, debris and water scattered all over the floor, the quilt was stepped on, the pillow was torn apart, and the feathers flew everywhere.Louis kicked the door switch, sparks flashed, and the room was plunged into darkness.

With a bang, Chen Zhen knocked Louis to the ground.

"Hiss—" Louis covered his head and hissed softly, "Can you be gentle?"

Chen Zhen snorted twice, and said under a low voice, "Tell me everything you know."
