mirror age

Another two years passed like this in a blink of an eye, Ryan was 16 years old, and he was about to catch up with his elder brother, who had hardly grown any taller in recent years.But that boy Simon, who is as tall as a leek, is almost a head taller than Ryan. He guesses that because his mother is Asian, he and Cyril are like this, so he has to be a head shorter than that kid.

That kid, growing fast in stature and courage, was arguing with the team leader to do more missions by himself, so now Ryan has to do missions every other week.

Correspondingly, he spends more time at home. He feels that he has really gradually become a member of this family, and this is a feeling of enjoyment. He can feel the subtle changes in himself.

In the eyes of Ryan's parents, this change is more obvious. Ryan has become more talkative and lively than before.Miles could often see the two children arguing together like two lion cubs, fighting each other.

"Let me tell you, if you two don't bicker and fight for a day, you will feel uncomfortable, right?" The man's tone was a little doting and helpless.

Ryan had just taken the last dragon fruit, and before he could eat it, Cyril rushed over from behind him and snatched it away, holding it in his hand, he was so angry that he held the spoon in one hand and reached for the dragon fruit in the other. fruit.

"Cyril, how old are you still arguing with your brother?"

Yeah, didn't everything let me in when I first came here?How come people are like this, the older they get, the thicker their skins become.

But after a while, Miles saw the two children sitting on the sofa and watching TV. Ryan was digging dragon fruit and eating while staring at the screen, chewing with his mouth. This little lion It seemed that he was still holding his breath, and he sat some distance away from Cyril.Miles saw Cyril leaning over and putting his hands on his younger brother's shoulders, Ryan didn't respond, he knew that the two children would be fine soon, and Cyril was just bored and looking for fun on his younger brother.

"Angry?"

"You robbed me of food." Ryan's face was expressionless, but his mouth moved.

"I didn't want to eat yours." He rubbed Ryan's hair indiscriminately, "I can't make a joke, so serious?"

Ryan rolled his eyes at him.

After Ryan finished eating the dragon fruit, his eyelids twitched after watching the TV series for a while, and soon fell asleep with his head on Cyril's shoulder.Cyril turned down the sound of the TV, and reached for the thin blanket next to him with the other hand, put it on the young man, pulled the edge of the blanket to his neck and tucked it behind his shoulders.

The little guy would curl up and wrinkle his nose unconsciously when he slept. He looked like other children of the same age, and even looked a little more childish in his eyes.

The little guy is the best when he is asleep.

But he knew that Ryan was not, not like all kids.

Ryan didn't expect this mission to be so dangerous.

The informants did not find in the preliminary investigation that the safe containing the documents in the study was loaded with small explosives. When they forcibly opened the door with a virus, the explosives detonated.Simon, who was standing at the side, rushed over quickly with his eyes and hands, and took him out to the side, pressing him heavily on Ryan, followed by a muffled groan from Simon.

Simon's leg was blasted, probably broken, and he couldn't walk anyway.The guard at the colonel's house was awakened even if he fell asleep, and he couldn't stay here for a while.

Ryan smashed the window, hooked the window sill with iron claws, and slid down with Simon on his back.

When we came to the street, the situation was also very bad. The military mansions were all in this area. The explosion just now made a lot of noise, and the lights of the neighboring houses were turned on.Simon is now much taller than himself. Ryan is born with a thin frame, and it is extremely difficult to carry Simon who is taller and stronger than himself. Now there is still a long distance from the nearest underground passage, and Simon's body was splashed by the explosion. The metal shards stabbed him in many places. If he walked like an "old cow breaking a cart", he was afraid that if he was not caught or Simon would bleed dry.

Now it is very close to my home, just walk through the alley.

"Ryan, where are we going?" Simon realized that this was not the direction to the secret passage.

"my home."

After speaking, Ryan felt the person on his back struggle, making him almost stagger.

"No." Going like this, the family knows what they are doing even if they are stupid.

"Why not. It's better than dead."

"No, let's find another place to hide temporarily..."

This is a bustling area, where can I find a place to hide the two living people?

Of course he's worried about his identity, but that's not the most important thing right now.

Ryan felt very disturbed.

"No, listen to me..."

"you shut up."

He obediently shut up, and silently sprinkled the potion behind him. The potion could remove the traces and smell of the dripping blood, and the military dogs and instruments could not detect their whereabouts.

Ryan's mother has been away to work on projects during this period, working on biotechnology at the military headquarters, and has been away for a couple of months. Dad has been handing over to the General Administration of the Military for a few days because of his job, and has not come back.But on Cyril's side, it is estimated that it is rare to hide it.

Cyril's right eyelid twitched before going to bed today, and he even took an extra look at Ryan, but the kid didn't show any strange expression, it didn't seem like he was harboring any serious matter.But at night, he didn't sleep very deeply, so the not-so-loud explosion woke him up. When he woke up, he raised his hand to touch his side, but there was no one there.went out again.that child.

Almost automatically he hooked the explosion up with the little guy.

Unable to lie down any longer, he got up and swayed in the living room.

Ryan also thought about moving less, simply bandaging Simon, and taking him back to the headquarters after the limelight on the street passed, so that Cyril would not be woken up.

He didn't expect to see Cyril standing in the living room when he entered the door, and he immediately met Cyril's questioning gaze.

Cyril watched Ryan open the door and come in with someone on his back. He smelled a strong smell of blood and felt an unknown fire in his heart.

"Ryan. What the hell are you doing?"

Ryan didn't answer him, just walked in, put Simon on the sofa, fetched the medicine box, and began to wipe his hands with disinfectant.

"Brother, help me deal with his injury."

Cyril took a quick look and knew that the man was seriously injured. His leg seemed to be broken, and his body had large and small lacerations, and several deformed metal pieces were still stuck on him.He quickly disinfected his hands, and treated several large cuts first. The blood and black cloth coagulated together. He cut and removed the wound rags, disinfected with iodine and wrapped them with gauze.

While doing this, he repeated the question again.

"Ryan. What the hell are you doing with someone right now?"

no answer.

"You belong to the Life Support Party."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the person lying on the sofa stiffen unnaturally.Ryan just looked at him, neither acknowledging nor denying.

"This is the only clone force that can make every place and even the imperial capital uneasy."

Cyril was rare and serious this time, his eyes were like the cold moonlight, without any smile.

He wouldn't say it outside, not even to his parents. Ryan knew that his father's position as an officer would be affected.Ryan even felt that he had guessed most of it from the beginning, but he hadn't said it clearly, so this time he suddenly made it clear, still in front of Simon, and Ryan didn't understand his intention for a while.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

"Because that puts you in danger. Your very identity puts you in danger.

"Our family can provide you with a good life, we don't want you to do dangerous things

"I don't think you could have done it."

Cyril looked directly into his eyes when he said these words, and the long stare made Ryan feel that his gaze was a bit aggressive.

Cyril didn't tell him, Ryan understood immediately, he still told Simon.

As careful as he is, he probably will understand that the relationship between Simon and himself is extraordinary without thinking too much. Ryan noticed that Cyril had glanced at Simon's wrist without biomarkers, and he should have remembered that Simon was fleeing with him at that time. The clone that came out.

Simon just lay there and listened quietly to what Ryan's brother said, frowning secretly. Yes, Ryan could not have lived such a life of licking blood with knives. He had already found his family.

"It's not enough to treat his injury so simply. I'll take care of him here. You go back to your place and call a doctor to come to our house."

Not necessarily a doctor, Ryan thought.But there is no other way, and it is impossible to take him back to the headquarters now, and there are people screaming outside looking for someone.Now the wounded go out in a hurry to be caught.

Ryan went back to the room and changed into the clothes of the patrol guard, and left in a hurry.

"Ryan said he was very happy living with you." Simon said quietly after the people left.

"Yes, I think so."

"In this case, you have to help persuade him."

Simon saw the man sitting with his back to the light, so his face looked a little dark. The corners of his eyes were subtly bent down, revealing a gentle and ambiguous smile, and even a faintly creepy aura, "I don't think he has to live To be so great, in troubled times, just take care of yourself."
