First marriage "thick" love [Interstellar]

Wei Qi obviously knew the dean, but it was even more obvious that he didn't recall any tender moments.

Although Major General Thain felt that the woman in front of him looked weak, he did not relax his vigilance.

Major General Thain pulled Wei Qi to stop, and Wei Qi came back to his senses because of this, and turned his head to see Major General Thain's worried expression.

Wei Qi blinked, and then immediately showed a smile, indicating that he was fine.

"Excuse me." At this time, Dean Virgi had already walked over. She seemed to be used to this kind of donation scene, and she showed a masked smile very skillfully, "The two gentlemen are here to dedicate their love to the children. ?"

Major General Thain did not speak to Wei Qi, but Charlie, who was next to him, walked up and chatted with Dean Virgi.

Wei Qi and the others are newlyweds with a lot of love. Charlie also said that they want to renovate the orphanage. Of course, it is also possible to donate money directly... In short, they are fat sheep delivered to the door.

The smile on Dean Virji's face was much more sincere, and he quickly welcomed them into the orphanage.

The newborn orphanage is located on an empty plain, surrounded by only undulating lawns, like a corner abandoned by the world.

The orphanage is very large and the walls are very high. The walls are painted white. Instead of using simulated light screens, they are painted with brightly colored pictures.However, probably because of too much time, many of the pictures have been mottled and faded, making them look particularly desolate.

Opposite the orphanage is a big house, which looks like a church, well-behaved, very old house; on both sides of this big house, there is a small house, the whole house forms a "concave" character type.

In addition to the house, there are some sports fields that divide the different areas.There are many children playing.

Seeing Dean Virji bringing people over, these children were not nervous or afraid at all. Like Dean Virji, they seemed to be used to these guests who came to show their love from time to time.

The ages of these children seem to be about the same, the oldest is no more than seven or eight years old, and the youngest is just a child who can just run around.

But they all looked good: ruddy, and their clothes, though washed out, were clean.And their hair, all combed neatly, the girls tied two ponytails and tied bows with cloth strips.

Wei Qi noticed that there were some very inconspicuous marks on the foreheads of two or three of the children, on the left forehead.If it weren't for his keen five senses now, he might not be able to catch it at all.

That is the trace of scar repair.

Wei Qi's heart skipped a beat, could it be related to the "birthmarks" of those children in the dream?But what would that be?And it doesn't seem like all kids have it.

Virji's eyes were kind, and she introduced Wei Qi and the others with joy, as if introducing her own proud child.

Virgil: "These children all live here, and there are some older children who went to work on distant farms today and will not be able to return for the time being. Although our orphanage is very remote, the children's education is not very good. No slack. They're good boys, I guarantee you."

Probably Wei Qi had been staring at those children, so Dean Wei Qi misunderstood Wei Qi and the others, thinking that they wanted to adopt children.

After a while, there was no response from the host, Dean Virji's eyes were filled with disappointment, but soon she cheered up again and smiled kindly.

Virgil: "Two gentlemen, please go inside, I can take you to see the place where the children usually study, and there are many works by them."

This actually suits the wishes of Wei Qi and Major General Thain, they just want to take a closer look at this orphanage.

Probably because of the shape of the house, the lighting inside is not very good. As soon as you step in, you will feel a cold feeling, and the temperature will drop several degrees immediately.Fortunately, the lighting inside is sufficient, and it is not dark.

The house was also cleaned up very cleanly. The first floor was full of common areas, most of which were classrooms.

Virji introduced them as he walked: "The teaching here is compulsory teaching with Xingwang. These two classrooms are where children attend classes and take exams. This is where the labor class is drawn. The shelves are full of children. Our work is very cute, isn’t it? And in the front, here is a dance classroom, taught by a holographic teacher..."

Weierji introduced everything one by one, from classrooms to cafeterias, from after-school hobbies to the small vegetable field in the backyard, to the bedrooms and bathrooms of the children upstairs...

I have to say that although the facilities in this orphanage are simple, they are very complete.

But for some reason, Wei Qi always felt a lingering sense of disobedience when he looked at this beautiful place.

Like, it's not supposed to be like this here.

Major General Thain sensed Wei Qi's absent-mindedness, so he winked at Charlie, and Charlie immediately suggested that the gentlemen wanted to go away by themselves.

Dean Virgi naturally wouldn't stop him, after all, there was nothing worth coveting in this orphanage.

Charlie didn't follow Wei Qi and the others, but smiled and went to distribute gifts to the children with Dean Virji.

Wei Qi didn't leave the house, but went up the stairs to the attic and down to the second floor.

Finally, Wei Qi led Major General Thain to stop in front of the wall at the corner of the stairs.

Major General Thain looked at Wei Qi suspiciously.

Wei Qi leaned over and whispered, "The entrance to the secret room I remembered in my dream is here."

But here is a wall.

Major General Thain thought for a while, and said euphemistically: "The memory of children will always exaggerate and distort such mysterious things."

So, it wasn't that Wei Qi remembered wrongly, or that the secret room didn't exist, but it might just be something strange in his brain when he was a child.

Wei Qi: "..."

Wei Qi: "Let's go find the time capsule I buried."

He didn't believe that his dreams were all fake.

Wei Qi seemed to want to convince Major General Thain, but also seemed to want to convince himself.So he took two steps, and added to Major General Thain: "And I always feel weird here. I remember Dean Virgi, but she feels completely different from what I remember."

Major General Thain has already felt this point.

Major General Thain took Wei Qi's hand and did not refute him any more. Instead, he gave Wei Qi a pat on the back and said, "Then let's go find it."

Wei Qi heard that he no longer doubted his own words, so he nodded happily: "Okay!"

The two came out of the house, and there was laughter in the yard—the children were unwrapping presents.

These gifts were chosen by Wei Qi himself. He had lived through that kind of hardship in his previous life. Compared with Charlie and the others, Wei Qi knew what these children wanted better.

Sure enough, the children's smiles were big.Seeing them come out, there are bold children who greet them happily.

Facing the child, Major General Thain, who is already a "half-person father", couldn't bear to be cold, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

Wei Qi also took the opportunity to touch a child's head, his thumb slid over the mark on the child's left forehead, and his fingertips felt a slight bulge.

Today's scar removal technology is already very good, but children are not using the best treatment, because children have strong resilience, these marks will disappear completely when they grow older, and they will not be seen at all.

The two explained to Charlie and Dean Verge that they were going out for a walk without even bringing their own guards.

Seeing that their entourages were all used to it, Dean Virji only reminded them to pay attention to the snakes and insects in the grass, and said nothing more.

The two walked out of the orphanage, descended a small slope, and went around to the back of the orphanage.

The earth slopes here are undulating like ocean waves, and Wei Qi couldn't tell which breakthrough was which location for a while.Afterwards, Wei Qi could only tell Major General Thain the height and speed of his perspective in the dream... and then asked Major General Thain to help with the calculations.

A few minutes later, Major General Thain confirmed an area.Then according to Wei Qi's dream, when he squatted down and looked up, he saw the height of the roof of the orphanage through the sight of the slope, which slope to look for.

After another ten minutes or so, they finally narrowed the area down to a three-meter square, in the ditch connecting the two soil slope depressions.

So Wei Qi and Major General Thain started digging.

Wei Qi didn't bring any weapons, but Major General Thain carried an S-Mech with him, so Wei Qi almost didn't need to do it.

However, in order to avoid attracting attention, the S-Mech was turned into a claw shape, worn on the hand of Major General Thain, and Major General Thain started.

According to the depth of the buried time capsule in Wei Qi's memory, Major General Thain began to dig.When the area was dug two-thirds further, Major General Thain's paws really touched something.

Major General Thain stopped immediately to avoid damaging the dug things.Both he and Wei Qi's eyes burst out with surprise—Major General Thain was shocked, and Wei Qi was delighted.

Wei Qi felt the joy of digging out his forgotten treasure: "I knew I was not dreaming!"

Major General Thain didn't speak, and carefully took out the thing with his head buried.

The so-called time capsule is actually to put important things into a sealed special protective cover, bury them deep in the ground, and then take them out after a long time.There is a feeling of traveling through time and space.

This kind of time capsule is the favorite of children, and the one that Wei Qi buried back then may have been a gift from some caring person.

The protective cover of the time capsule shell has failed, and there is an iron box inside.

The iron box was only the size of a palm, and the thickness of three fingers; there was a lot of green patent leather on the outside of the iron box, and a lot of it was peeled off, and the exposed parts were stained with rust, but it was still vaguely discernible that the shell was painted with a pattern of a mecha.

Major General Thain handed the box to Wei Qi, Wei Qi caught it with both hands, his fingertips trembling uncontrollably.

Wei Qi was nervous. Apart from verifying the reality of his dream, he also felt a strange memory drilling out from the depths of his brain.

"What's the matter?" Major General Thain was a little worried when he saw that Wei Qi hadn't opened it for a long time.

Wei Qi raised his head and glanced at Major General Thain. Seeing that handsome, worried face, Wei Qi seemed to see a ray of dawn, and his heart immediately settled down.

Wei Qi blinked, as if he didn't expect Major General Thain's face to have such a big effect.

Well, this face does have such a big effect.

Wei Qi let out a foul breath and said, "I'm going to leave."

Major General Thain showed a smile: "Let's go."

Wei Qi took a deep breath, then grabbed the edge of the iron box's lid that was glued together due to rust with his fingers, and forced it upwards.

"squeak--"

The iron box made a scalp-numbing rubbing sound, and then it was opened with a "click".

Probably because of the good sealing of the iron box, or the protection of the time capsule, the contents of the iron box were not damaged much.

Wei Qi put down the lid of the iron box, and carefully took out all the things in the iron box.

A faded ribbon flower in a bow, a beautiful glass bead, a round, unremarkable stone.

Wei Qi: "..."

Major General Thain: "..."

Wei Qi glanced at Major General Thain, and Major General Thain spread his hands - I haven't said anything yet.

Wei Qi looked away resentfully, and continued to take down the things next to him.

The bottom of the box is a folded piece of paper, which feels like watercolor paper, and the edges are stained by the rust of the iron box, which looks very fragile.

Wei Qi carefully took out the piece of paper, fortunately it was not broken, and then slowly opened it.

The paper was only half unfolded, and a photo fell out of it.

Wei Qi stopped unfolding the paper and picked up the photo first.

The photo is small, about an inch, and looks like an ordinary file photo.But the person in the photo made Wei Qi's eyes widen immediately.

In the photo is a little boy, who faces the camera with a blank expression on his face.His hair is short, and on the left forehead, there is a row of small barcodes, and a row of numbers below the barcodes.

Wei Qi finally knew what the "birthmark" in the dream was.

Wei Qi's breathing became chaotic, and his thumb brushed across the child's face in the photo, as if he wanted to erase the trace.He didn't know this child, but his facial features were still similar to those of the child in Wei Qi's dream.

If these children were put together, they would seem to be considered relatives-but the children in the orphanage now don't look alike.

Wei Qi looked at it for a long time before putting the photo in the hands of Major General Thain and continuing to open the paper.

That piece of paper is a painting.The brush strokes are very immature, but the things drawn make Wei Qi's hair stand on end.

The tone of this picture is very strange, it looks like a strange funeral.The main character of the funeral was a child, who was slaughtered red, and had two crosses where his eyes were; the child was not lying in the cemetery, but lying in an abstract thing.

Wei Qi had seen that thing in the dungeon of planet N, it was used to deal with the corpses collected by the Zerg.

In addition to children, there are also some adults. The adults all look the same, with big masks on their faces. Wei Qi thinks this should be those doctors, or at least someone with uniform clothes; and the most conspicuous one is the one in the lower right corner. back view.

It was the back of a child too, a girl because she had a ponytail tied with a bow.It should be the owner of this painting.

But... it's a girl?

Wei Qi felt that there was too much information in this iron box, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Wei Qi simply sat back on the grassy slope, and he was still looking at the painting, as if he wanted to see the answer he wanted from it.

In fact, Wei Qi also got it.

He looked at the painting, and even the little bits and pieces that he had ignored before, the memories rooted in his soul were awakened one by one.

Major General Thain didn't bother Wei Qi, but until half an hour later, Wei Qi still looked at the painting motionlessly, Major General Thain was a little worried.

Major General Thain reached out to hold Wei Qi's hand, and said softly, "Wei Qi?"

Wei Qi raised his head, his eyes were red.

Major General Thain immediately became anxious, and the Federation stretched out his arms to embrace Wei Qi, and comforted him: "It's okay, just tell me everything, tell me, it's okay."

Wei Qi closed his eyes and leaned against Major General Thain's shoulder, then rubbed hard against Major General Thain's neck, as if he had absorbed enough strength, Wei Qi suddenly raised his head and said, "I remember. .”

Major General Thain was taken aback for a moment, then his expression became serious.

Wei Qi smiled wryly, and said: "I remember, but probably because I was too young at that time, so my memory is not complete...Listen, Lancer, although what I said may be unimaginable, even I can't explain it clearly It's logical, but it's all true."

"I believe in you." Major General Thain patted Wei Qi's arm lightly, encouraging Wei Qi, "I believe in you, you know that."

Wei Qi knew that the high degree of spiritual union had made it difficult to hide the emotions between them.

Wei Qi nodded and finally opened his mouth.

Wei Qi: "I did bury this box, but at that time, I was a girl."

Although Major General Thain was well prepared, he was still taken aback by Wei Qi's words.

Wei Qi smiled wryly, and continued: "When I buried this box, it was indeed a girl. I also drew this picture, this little boy... I remember that he was very important to me, maybe it was my good friend back then. Friend. I stole this photo from Dean Virgi's office, and I buried it here, but in the end, it seemed that my stealing of the photo was revealed... After that, the memory was broken, But I know, I'm dead."

Major General Thain made no secret of his shock this time, his eyes widened, and he looked at Wei Qi in disbelief.

Wei Qi also looked dazed, or rather helpless.

He looked at Major General Thain with an expression as if he was about to cry: "I am really dead, I still remember that when I died, I was not killed by the experiment in my dream. I was locked in a closed treatment The cabin was filled with nutrient solution and choked to death. I was executed by them.”

Major General Thain squeezed Wei Qi's hand tightly.Wei Qi also quickly grabbed Major General Thain.

Wei Qi calmed down for a while, then twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, "So I'm afraid of the closed treatment cabin, and that's why."

Major General Thain took Wei Qi's hand, put it on his lips and kissed it vigorously.

His kiss seemed to have magical power, Wei Qi quickly calmed down.

Wei Qi let out a sigh of relief and opened his head, and the subsequent narration will be much easier.

Wei Qi sorted out the memories in his mind, and then said: "As far as I can remember, I have died at least three times."

Wei Qi: "The first time it was this girl, the second time it was a little boy, and the third time it was also a little boy. When I died, they were all about the same age. Except for the little girl who was executed this time, the others were dead. In that weird experiment."

Wei Qi: "And my memory as myself, as Wei Qi, has been disconnected for many years, and when the memory started, I was already five years old. The number on my forehead has been cleared, just like now Like the children in the orphanage, they live an ordinary life, and when they grow up, they go to work and survive by themselves.”

After Wei Qi finished speaking, he closed his eyes, following the memories that were stirred up from the depths of his soul, and those strange emotions.Children's emotions are always ups and downs, and they are very real.Wei Qi felt the joy of receiving the gift, as well as their fear and despair in the face of death.

It seemed that several short lives had been experienced in an instant, and they left ferocious claw marks on Wei Qi's heart, causing Wei Qi to be at a loss for what to do with the pain.

Major General Thain was also in a state of confusion, he never expected to get such a result, it was indeed as Wei Qi said—unbelievable.

But he didn't question it, because he could feel that what Wei Qi said was true.All he can do is to accompany Wei Qi and give Wei Qi strength.

Wei Qi waited until those emotions faded away, but left in his heart a sense of responsibility that he had never had before.

He used to have a dispensable attitude towards his life experience, but now, for the sake of him in the past, for those little lives that were him but not him, and for those little lives that had the same fate as him.Wei Qi wants to find out the truth.

Wei Qi: "There is indeed a secret room in the orphanage, and we found it right. It was originally Dean Virgi's office, but now it has been remodeled. It seems that it was rebuilt after me and this little girl stole the photos."

As Wei Qi spoke, his head became confused again: "But, how did I come back from the dead so many times? Is this how all these memory fragments in my head came from? But if this is the case, the consciousness cloud should have collapsed. yes."

Major General Thain held Wei Qi's hand tightly, and said softly as if he couldn't bear it: "Perhaps, this is the reason why this orphanage exists."

Wei Qi raised his head: "You mean, that kind of surgery is an experiment of soul stripping and resurrection?"

Major General Thain shook his head: "I don't know how to explain your situation, but as far as I know, it's almost impossible to come back from the dead. It's better to say it's a resurrection from a corpse. And resurrection from a corpse is also an important concept in the central control system."

Wei Qi's heart skipped a beat.He felt as if he had caught something, but he couldn't.I was a little anxious for a while...

"Don't think about it, don't worry." Major General Thain hugged Wei Qi and kissed Wei Qi's forehead, "Wei Qi, I know you want the answer, and I want the answer, but don't rush, your safety is the most important thing." important."

"I know. I'm not stupid." Wei Qi leaned on Major General Thain's shoulder, enjoying Major General Thain's comfort.

And at this moment, a furry head suddenly appeared on the small slope, with a pair of big eyes staring at them, blinking.

It's a kid who came here at some point.He looked at Major General Thain and Wei Qi, then suddenly stood up and ran back, shouting into the distance while running: "I saw it! They are kissing! Kiss~"

Wei Qi: "..."

Major General Thain: "..."
