Did the worm king lose his horse today [Interstellar]

The sky was still gloomy in the morning, with dark clouds covering the sky above Xingdu.Lightning pierced the sky like a snake, and there were bursts of dull thunder.

Gu Jiurong sat at the dining table contentedly, waiting for the breakfast that Gu Yue prepared - Gu Yue had been in the kitchen for five or ten minutes without saying a word.

Fortunately, he was in a good mood, didn't care about this, and had plenty of patience.On the table, the white dove that has been following him walked up and down, pecking at the flowers in the vase from time to time.

Until Gu Jiurong...smelled a burning smell coming from the kitchen.

Gu Jiurong asked suspiciously, "What are you doing? Do you want me to come and help you?"

Gu Yue's voice came from afar: "No, everything is under my control."

So Gu Jiurong sat back, took out the terminal and started playing games.Within 5 minutes, there was another burst of burnt smell that was so strong that it could not be resolved, followed by the sound of ping-pong-pong falling to the ground, and the sound of plates and porcelain bowls breaking.

This didn't sound very good. Gu Jiurong went over immediately and saw a puff of black smoke coming out of the kitchen. Gu Yue's burnt smell came out from inside. There were black eggs, potatoes that smeared the whole plate like mud, and a strange mass of curled up, bubbling with oil.

Gu Jiurong: "...What is this lump?"

"Bacon. Can't you see that?"

"...I can't see it." Gu Jiurong looked at the thing suspiciously again, "It took you almost an hour to make this kind of thing?"

Gu Yue: "..." He coughed, "It should be edible."

This thing finally made it to the table.In Gu Yue's family, Lao Li usually cooks, and there is no related housekeeping robot.Gu Jiurong originally suggested that he could go to the next door and steal a robot to make do with it, but Gu Yue taught him a lesson, saying that he must never steal other people's things.

Gu Jiurong showed that he couldn't cook at all, so Gu Yue walked into the kitchen.

After 10 minutes, everything was a dark mush.

This kind of food is almost hard to swallow, but maybe the insect king has a particularly good appetite, and his strong adaptability finally played its due role. Gu Jiurong was so happy to eat that he accidentally bit off half of the fork .

Gu Yue: "...Where's the other half of your fork?"

"I don't know." Gu Jiurong was also puzzled, "Maybe I chewed it up and swallowed it."

Gu Yue: "..." He thought for a long time and didn't know how to evaluate, "Be careful, next time...don't eat it, it should be bad for...your body and teeth."

After eating almost breakfast, Gu Jiurong still thought that he had to explain it clearly to Gu Yue. If this matter is not explained clearly, it will always be a ticking time bomb.

So he said: "Gu Yue, I really didn't want to lie to you before..."

"Don't talk about this first." Gu Yue interrupted him, "We'll talk about this issue after we escape from this place."

Gu Jiurong let out a disappointment.

Gu Yue is unwilling to talk about this matter, probably because he still cannot fully accept his identity.Even Gu Jiurong's request last night, in the end he didn't comment, he just rubbed his head, and allowed Gu Jiurong to cuddle him to sleep at night... like an octopus.As if avoiding talking about it, the relationship between the two is the same as before.

Gu Yue is not the kind of person who can escape, this time is abnormal, because this matter is really unusual.

Gu Jiurong is of course willing to give Gu Yue this time, waiting for the day when that person finally makes a decision - to accept his existence, or to make a clean break from now on.

Doorbell rang.

There are visitors in this eerie city.Gu Jiurong was stunned.Gu Yue had already opened the outermost door of the garden, and then got up to open the gate of the mansion.

A few minutes later, a man about 30 years old stood outside the door, wearing a suit and leather shoes in this sweltering weather, holding a rose, and the strong smell of perfume came from his body.

Xu Feiyang.

He stood at the door and said: "I happened to pass by here when I was looking for material for a movie, and found that the flowers in the garden were blooming luxuriantly, so I came to see the owner of the garden."

This is inexplicable, but it fits Gu Jiurong's impression of Xu Feiyang.Gu Yue didn't seem surprised either: "Come in."

"Thank you. Nice to meet you and your flowers, sir."

The man was humming a song in a good mood, and came in playing with the rose in his hand without looking outside.There are traces of blue ink on the cuffs of his suit, and there are pen marks and calluses from long-term holding pens on his hands.

Gu Jiurong looked at Xu Feiyang and said, "I received your message."

"Information?" Xu Feiyang was admiring the fish tank in the living room and the colorful stupid fish inside, "What information?"

Gu Jiurong was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you send a message to space? Outside that huge star gate."

Xu Feiyang frowned, and thought for a long time: "If you are typing some code words, forgive me for not understanding." He suddenly beamed, "Oh, I see, are you writing poetry?"

Gu Jiurong: "...No." He felt that Xu Feiyang was really difficult to communicate, "Just the coordinates of the planet, and the days when you disappeared. Didn't you always ask for help?"

Gu Yue next to him coughed and interrupted the topic.

Gu Jiurong was full of doubts, but seeing Gu Yue's expression, he stopped asking.

Xu Feiyang shrugged and continued to wander around the living room.He praised Gu Yue's collection of vases, took out a piece of paper with messy notes, scribbled on it while muttering something in a low voice, and even took the rose in his mouth when he got excited.

Something is wrong.

Gu Jiurong thought for a while, and suddenly realized that Gu Yue and Xu Feiyang knew each other.

Even if the two are not familiar with each other, it is definitely not this attitude when they greet each other.

He looked at Xu Feiyang's back, and tentatively said, "Gu... Gu Ming has been looking for you."

He didn't feel sad for Gu Ming's death, but Xu Feiyang was standing here right now, which somewhat made him feel sorry for Gu Ming——

If, if he lived a few more months, they could be reunited.

Xu Feiyang's figure paused and turned around.

He took off the rose he was carrying.He wrote too seriously just now, the rose's barbs scratched his skin, and a little bit of bright red remained on his lips.

He wondered, "Who is Gu Ming?"

……

The wind on the street was very strong, the rain had not been falling, and the air was so stuffy that it made people panic.

Gu Jiurong shuttled through the crowds of Xingdu. Unlike yesterday, these people were able to respond to his presence.

He said to Gu Yue: "So you mean, this is how Xu Feiyang met you for the first time?"

"Yes." Gu Yue said, "We all woke up from the freezer, but the time was different. Although I knew him through Gu Ming, I didn't see him at that time. One day, he suddenly came over like this knocked on my door."

"Has he lost his memory?"

Gu Yue paused for a moment: "It's not like...you will know tonight."

"Then what's going on with this star? What about these people on the street? They ignored me yesterday, and I crossed the road a few times before anyone responded to me."

Gu Yue said: "For the past two months, Ye Zhengqing and I have been researching this place. This place is undoubtedly some kind of projection of the original Ark. The only thing we can know now is that it is the closest to the real star capital in the morning, and it is closer to the real star capital at night. The more it deforms and distorts.”

He continued: "For example, in the morning, you can have a normal conversation with pedestrians. But after noon, only if you do something particularly outrageous will it cause their reaction. No matter what happens at night, no one will pay attention."

"So this projection is at the most false time every night?" Gu Jiurong was a little confused.

Gu Yue nodded: "This is speculation, there is no way to prove it, because no one knows how to break through this projection and return to the real world."

"What if you go all the way to the border?"

"I've tried it, the borders are all forests. No matter how you go, you will eventually return to the Star City." Gu Yue looked at the terminal, "The time is almost up."

As soon as the voice fell, the time came to twelve noon.

The weather is still dull, gradually a little raindrops fall.Looking up at the gray sky, Gu Jiurong always felt that the tallest buildings in Xingdu...was a bit weird.

He took a closer look and found that it was slightly deformed, and some glass disappeared without a sound, exposing the steel bars inside—there was no decorated space in the house, or nothing at all.

So those buildings seem to be somewhere between a completely well-built frame and a crude frame.

Gu Yue pointed: "These are slight deformations, and the building distorts even more at night. This whole projection should be related to Xu Feiyang, because he is the only person here who has changed like the scene."

Gu Jiurong was stunned: "Are you sure he doesn't have mental problems?"

"No." Gu Yue obviously hesitated for a moment, "But it's not impossible for you to say that he has neurological problems, after all, who knows what kind of person Gu Ming will like... No matter what," he said to Gu Jiurong Look at the date on the terminal, "Remember this day."

It clearly says on the terminal, July [-]th.

The day when Xu Feiyang disappeared.

Gu Yue pointed to the terminal: "The time here is also based on a day of the fallen empire, which is about 32 and a half hours a day. But all of us don't have a very clear feeling, it's like... Distorted Our perception of time. We wouldn’t have noticed it at all if we hadn’t had a terminal ticking the clock on the first day.”

"However," he continued, "from the second day on, even the terminal has changed the timing method. Every normal hour you see now, in fact, should be longer than you originally thought."

Gu Jiurong was a little confused: "Is it that complicated?"

Gu Yue smiled: "You just understand that our current life cycle is probably in accordance with the Fallen Empire. You found us in the Fallen Empire. It is possible... We have already been assimilated into a part."

A person happened to pass by beside him, and Gu Yue said, "Look, only when you provoke him at this time will he react."

He shook his hand in front of the passerby, but the person did not respond.Then Gu Yue grabbed the man by the collar and kicked his leg.

The man was kicked directly to the ground, and he started yelling.

"Look." Gu Yue said.

Gu Jiurong: "...you don't have to try so hard to demonstrate to me."

Gu Yue shrugged: "Let me teach you by example. I have taught you many things."

Gu Jiurong: "..."

Gu Jiurong: "For example, did you blow up the kitchen?"

Then he was taken away by the back of the neck by Gu Yue.

Throughout the afternoon and night, Xu Feiyang didn't know where he went.

The buildings on the street really began to distort. Yesterday, Gu Jiurong wanted to find Gu Yue, so he didn't pay attention to observe it. Today, when he took a closer look, their appearance and internal structure have changed, like some kind of temporary Rubik's cube, weird and strange. broken.

Not only that, but chairs float in the air and balloons fly to the bottom of the water.Everything is in disarray, just like the world in the eyes of some mental patient.

Gu Jiurong went out for a stroll, and when he came back, he heard Gu Yue playing the piano.Ye Zhengqing probably just left, and his smell is still in the air.

Gu Jiurong sat on the sofa and listened to Gu Yue playing the piano, wagging the tip of his tail, thinking that the music was very beautiful.

He wasn't worried about being trapped here, anyway, with Gu Yue, there would be nothing unsolvable.And here at night, I can still hug Gu Yue to sleep, and get my chin scratched by the way.

The time pointed to 44:[-], and Gu Yue had just finished playing a song.He sat quietly in his seat, as if waiting for something.

Ten seconds later, the doorbell rang.

He got up to open the door, Xu Feiyang stood outside panting: "I, I finally remembered." With a completely different nervousness from the daytime, he went straight to Gu Jiurong, "You received my message, right?"

Gu Jiurong nodded.

Only then did he understand what Gu Yue said, Xu Feiyang now looked completely different from the daytime, as if he had remembered everything.

Xu Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, I finally succeeded today. Have you told the alliance the coordinates?"

Gu Jiurong was stunned.At that time, he knew the coordinates and found them directly. He didn't think about the alliance at all.He replied: "No... Actually, the main fleet of the alliance also entered that star gate."

Xu Feiyang walked around the room twice anxiously, frowning: "Is it still a failure... Let me calm down and think about what to do tomorrow." He walked up the stairs on his own.

Gu Jiurong followed, and Gu Yue was beside him, whispering, "Only at this moment can he think of these things."

Xu Feiyang went straight to the roof of Gu Yue's house.

There was a huge open-air platform there, and it was raining lightly in the sky. Regardless of his neat clothes, he walked directly into the rain screen.

He paced around the edge of the rooftop, looking at the vast sea of ​​lights in the star capital in the distance, his restless mood gradually calmed down.

The clothes on his shoulders were wet and turned dark. After a few minutes, he even started humming a song. He was the weird artist of the day again.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Xu Feiyang raised his head to the sky and said to himself: "It failed again."

"There is still no sunrise, maybe tomorrow will be a good weather."

The whole world is the sound of surging rain.

Seeing Xu Feiyang turn around, Gu Jiurong turned his back to the edge of the platform and the lights in the distance, and smiled at the two of them.

In the next second, he leaned back and fell soundlessly.

Gu Jiurong was stunned, but Gu Yue beside him was unmoved, as if he expected this thing to happen a long time ago.

Gu Jiurong ran to the edge of the platform and looked down. Xu Feiyang was lying among the flowers in the garden. The flowers fluttering in the rain were still bright, covering the blood that was blooming under him.

His expression was calm and serene, with a hint of expectation, as if this was just a dream.

In an instant, Gu Jiurong thought of what Gu Yue said, the never-ending sound of the clock inside the star gate, and the chirping of the hands when they collided.

He took out the terminal.

On an analog clock, the hour, minute, and second hands coincide at twelve o'clock.The date jumps, but in the blink of an eye, it returns to July [-]th.

Gu Yue said behind him: "This is Xu Feiyang's world."

The author has something to say: the story of Xiao Fuyue, the master chef, and Gu Jiurong, with iron teeth and copper teeth

Together, the two can not only conquer the universe but also destroy the kitchen

Start picking up the fallen empire hhh
