Neverland

Yan Cen's words are always convincing.

Xu Muzhou originally thought that Qin Wei would be ecstatic, but she pulled the corners of her mouth reluctantly, but instead showed a bitter smile that didn't look like crying or smiling.

She looked at the person in front of her, and despite her opposing standpoint, Xu Muzhou looked good. He was wearing a white coat made by a researcher, with an identity badge pinned to the edge of the left chest pocket, in order to cover up some subtleties. His eyes changed, and he also wore a pair of anti-radiation flat eyes.

Judging from his appearance alone, he is out of tune with the central base.Of course, this does not mean his appearance, but his temperament.

People in the new era have experienced disasters, wars and betrayals. They left their homes and were glued together by a new human society group.Although the disaster has passed, most people are still stuck in the long turmoil and cannot escape.

The people in the high-end areas seem to be superior, and they can't wait to draw a clear boundary with the people in the poor areas.But Qin Wei could see very clearly that the class standing between them was not unequally distributed resources, nor the title of a so-called high-ranking person, but a kind of reassuring life.

People in these high-end districts enjoy a suitable temperature and environment, and they don't need to worry about making a living.So they can't wait to close their eyes and shut their ears, turning a blind eye to the poverty outside.The identities of high-ranking people are like a ticket to Noah's Ark, which can guarantee them to board the escape ship before another disaster strikes.

This is why New Age class differences are so large.

In the final analysis, these people living in high-end areas, because they worry too much, are more afraid of death than those in poor areas.

They are more afraid than anyone that the current stable life is just a dream.

Qin Wei checked the surveillance cameras countless times, and also asked the researchers who worked with Xu Muzhou. Before Xu Muzhou knew about it, she already knew him very well.

Xu Muzhou is very similar to Song Yan - they don't care about the future, even if they die suddenly one day, this day will not be different from usual.When Qin Wei first met Song Yan in those years, she thought she was a broken jar, ready to live a day-to-day life, but now seeing Xu Muzhou, Qin Wei suddenly realized that it's not that they have no expectations for life, but that they don't belong here at all. That's all.

Thinking of this, Qin Wei inevitably thought of those pervasive thoughts of the past four years.Qin Wei still remembers how she felt when she hurried home that day, only to see the empty room when she opened the door.She didn't even feel sad at that moment, and she didn't remember despair, only a kind of ashes-like silence.

This feeling like a prairie fire is about to come out to find a sense of existence. Qin Wei has been tortured for four years. At first, every time I think of it, it is a heart-wrenching pain. After the pain, I get used to it, and then I just become numb.As a result, someone finally told her personally that her almost unrealistic delusions were true—so at this moment, those regrets and regrets that crept up in the middle of the night and dawn suddenly became "nothing at all" together with those painful trainings. meaningless" stuff.

Once again, she suffered an indiscriminate disaster, and she had to endure such meaningless pain for no reason.

But Qin Wei's first reaction was still joy.

It's a pity that this affirmation came too late. Although Qin Wei instinctively felt that she should be happy, she couldn't find the original feeling of affirmation.

"You..." Xu Muzhou couldn't bear it: "You don't have to laugh if you don't want to."

Qin Wei glanced at him.

Xu Muzhou looked at Yan Cen's face. Anyway, the other party had indirectly admitted the existence of another world just now, so he didn't have so many scruples when he spoke.

"I know, this kind of thing is difficult for people to accept... For example, if you find out that your dead relatives are alive and well, you will feel cheated." Xu Muzhou struggled to organize his words: "But don't be angry with her , she can't help herself—"

"I'm not angry." Qin Wei said lightly, "I'm very glad."

"Maybe you don't quite understand, but what I'm saying is indeed the truth." Qin Wei seemed to gather her emotions in just two sentences, she put down the unlit cigarette in her hand, leaned back on the back of the chair, Said: "I admit, my mood is very complicated now. I have been groping for four years, hoping to find evidence that she is alive-but I also know that this is a road that cannot see the future, and I may not see it in my whole life." To dawn. While I believe in my own judgment, I also have doubts on the other hand, what if she really died... This is how I persisted in my own tearing for four years. Until just now—"

Xu Muzhou felt more and more that this job was too torturous.

It's really not a good experience to watch someone who was originally strong expose his scars.Especially the other party didn't know the pain at all, and didn't know how to be careful when opening the display, and just casually tore the scabbed wound until it was dripping with blood.

——Does Song Yan know that Qin Wei has become like this now, Xu Muzhou suddenly thought.

The Qin Wei in Song Yan's memory is still four years ago. Although the Qin Wei in her memory doesn't look easy to get along with, she is like a small animal. It is obedient and soft, and it also got a ridiculous evaluation of "strawberry cake".

Before coming to this world to perform a mission, Song Yan once asked Yan Cen not to scare her.

——Does Song Yan know that Qin Wei doesn't take herself so seriously now? Xu Muzhou doesn't dare to think about it.

"This is the end of the matter." Yan Cen interrupted Qin Wei's self-torture involuntarily, and said, "Let's talk."

"Talk about your purpose." Qin Wei said, "Why did Song Yan come here, and why did you come here?"

"To let you go the way you should have gone." Yan Cen said, "Song Yan came here for this."

"But she fell in love with me——she is not from this world, and I shouldn't have her in the 'path I should have walked', so she left, right." Qin Wei said.

Even Yan Ce couldn't help but praise Qin Wei's sensitivity, the emotional entanglement did not affect her ability to judge, just as Yan Cen could spy on Qin Wei's true intentions in subtleties, Qin Wei also discovered the truth she wanted to know.

"That's right." Yan Cen admitted very simply: "So after that, everyone who appeared was to make you forget her, or put her down."

Qin Wei smiled softly.

She smiled very disdainfully, with a little girl-like self-satisfaction, like a tiny green bud sprouting from the dead wood, the only vivid color in the lifeless.

"Why not." Xu Muzhou said, "You know very well that even if you just accept that she is gone, it will make you feel much better."

"Mr. Xu." Qin Wei said, "Is there anyone you must see?"

Xu Muzhou was taken aback.

"No." Xu Muzhou said quickly, "I'm an orphan, I have no parents, and most of my friends are acquaintances. I just need to take care of myself, and I have nothing to worry about."

"No wonder." Qin Wei retracted her gaze and said, "If there is a person who appears at the right time and occupies your whole world...and then leaves you suddenly, you will want to see her at all costs. Even at this cost It's you, and you don't hesitate."

"you--"

"Mr. Xu." Qin Wei interrupted him, and continued, "You can't feel that feeling. You are separated from your true love in two worlds. You can clearly feel that she is somewhere, but you can't feel her through the layer. The broken barrier, I can't touch it no matter what... the feeling that I can't see each other in my life."

The most secret point in Xu Muzhou's heart was suddenly poked.

He subconsciously looked at Yan Cen.

Xu Muzhou has never forgotten that he will return to his own world sooner or later.

The condition that Neverland gave him was ten missions, and there are still six left.Regardless of the length of the remaining six tasks, his working time limit is inevitably close to the countdown.

Xu Muzhou never realized more clearly than now that he and Yan Cen are people from two worlds—just like Song Yan and Qin Wei.

Xu Muzhou had been avoiding it all the time, unwilling to think about it, but now Qin Wei took the lead in tearing up this issue and spreading it to the bright side.So Xu Muzhou had to admit that Qin Wei might be his future self.

Yan Cen felt Xu Muzhou's gaze, but he didn't respond.He didn't look away, but reached out from under the table and grabbed Xu Muzhou's hand on his lap.

He shook Xu Muzhou's hand slightly, Xu Muzhou lowered his eyes, his heart was cold.

Yan Cen is a fearless person, if he wanted to make a promise, he would not choose such a tactful way.

Qin Wei's fingers rested casually on the table, and her slender fingertips touched the table once and for all.

"Don't be so persistent." Yan Cen said: "If you persist blindly, it may not be the result you want."

"People have seven emotions and six desires, unless they have no heart, they can easily let go of their attachments." Qin Wei said.

Yan Cen's hand holding Xu Muzhou suddenly tightened.

"Mr. Xu." Qin Wei turned her head: "I'm sorry, I lied to you."

Xu Muzhou was taken aback by her jumpy way of talking, and subconsciously asked, "...what?"

"The sample box in group A is fake. When you were stuck in group 1, group 3 did another thing." Qin Wei paused and said, "...Thank you for coming, I finally found it 'key'."

【drop--】

The new message notification popped up on the office computer interrupted the dormancy of the screen, Xu Muzhou glanced at it, and found that the pop-up window that popped up was a concise communication document.

[General, cabin B-2(1) is ready. 】

"Did you know that the reaction speed of the portable mech is faster than the speed of human thinking, that is to say, this weapon will launch an attack at the moment of killing intent. But just now, the moment I shot." Qin Wei looked at Yan Cen again: "People's instincts can't lie, you obviously wanted to kill me at that moment...but why, you changed your mind."

This is not a question - this is Xu Muzhou's first reaction, Qin Wei knew something before him.

Qin Wei spoke slowly, but moved her hands extremely quickly. With a flip of her palm, the gun had returned to her hand just now.

Yan Cen's expression changed, he stood up, and reached out to grab the gun from Qin Wei's hand.

【boom--】

The speed of the person is no match for the weapon, so the hand turned back halfway in an instant, covering Xu Muzhou's eyes first.

In the next second, Xu Muzhou's eyes were pitch black, and he felt that Yan Cen reached out and roughly tore off the hydrangea on his wrist.

"It's too late, Xu Muzhou." Yan Cen said, "We have to go back to Neverland now."
