Marriage [Interstellar]

"elder brother."

Ling You's voice didn't change, but his tone was very different from Ling You before.His shoulders were down, his back was hunched, and his posture looked a little cowering.

Lou Qing instantly thought of that poor little boy who would shrink up when he was afraid, and the past quickly flashed before his eyes, making Lou Qing's nose sore.

Lou Qing gritted his teeth and closed his eyes to calm down, then looked directly at Lou Ping in front of him and asked, "What's the matter with the old man?"

Lou Qingman thought that Lou Ping would feel guilty, feel guilty, and dare not answer, but unexpectedly, Lou Ping just met Lou Qing's gaze and said: "I just wanted to keep him, but he is too weak. Do whatever you can to keep him the way he is now."

As he spoke, Lou Ping glanced at the little old man's position.

The little old man belatedly realized that the person in front of him had changed his core, and he shrank into a ball in the chair like a rabbit after seeing a tiger.He buried his head deeply in his knees, not daring to look at Lou Ping at all, his body kept sliding down, and quickly shrank to hide under the small round table in front of him.

Lou Qing didn't look back, but caught the little old man's reaction.

"'The way he is now', is it the way he is afraid of you to this extent?"

Lou Ping showed a bit of aggrieved expression, and argued: "Because he failed to integrate into the golden sea, and his consciousness failed to take root in the fertile soil of the insect king, so every time he changed his body, his consciousness would be depleted. The process of depletion is Unpleasant, and because only I can operate it, he associates me with this unpleasantness.—I did him no harm."

Lou Qing looked at the person in front of him in disbelief: "You force him to keep his consciousness time and time again until his consciousness is incomplete and he doesn't even remember who he is. Do you think this is not hurt? He can't even recognize you. You kneel and fear like a king! Do you think this is not hurt?"

Before Lou Qing left Savimaso, he had never spoken to Lou Ping in such a harsh tone.

Lou Ping pursed his lips and said with red eyes: "But I know the way to bring him back. As long as I become the insect king, I can bring him back, and you, I can make you come back too!"

Lou Qing looked at Lou Ping and said seriously: "We can't come back, we are already dead, you know."

"wrong!"

Lou Ping's expression instantly became agitated. He put his hands on the table and stared at Lou Qing, "You're back, aren't you here now? I'm here too, so he will come back too, you It's the Bug King, we can get him back."

Lou Ping seemed to have thought of some beautiful picture, and an intoxicated and illusory smile appeared on his face: "Our family is still fine, and we are still together, okay? Brother?"

Lou Qing's eyes became hot, and tears rolled up his eyelashes uncontrollably. He blinked quickly, not wanting to let the tears fall.

"Lou Ping." Lou Qing took a breath, trying to keep his voice from shaking, "I can't do it. My consciousness is completely because I was lucky enough to be recognized as the king by the stickworm, and you still exist because of that drop of my blood." , Because you are a false king. You have lived for so many years, and you have been panning for so many years of gold in the sea of ​​gold you copied, have you ever picked up any complete consciousness?"

Lou Ping's lips trembled for a moment, and then they were tightly pursed again.

"I can do it."

"Lou Ping!" Lou Qing sternly called Lou Ping's name, but soon couldn't bear it anymore, and slowed down his tone, "You are deceiving yourself and others."

Lou Ping's teeth clenched and loosened, and he looked up at Lou Qing with red eyes: "But what can I do? Brother, you all left, leaving me alone. You know that when I was taken away by those people How scared are you? They treated me like an animal, locked me in a closed room, and only touched me with various cold machines. I was injected with various drugs every day, and I had to accept all kinds of unimaginable stimuli. , just because they want to see when my shell will break."

Lou Qing knew that he had seen it in the fragments of the little old man's consciousness, but when he heard Lou Ping say this with his own ears, he still couldn't hold back his tears.

Lou Ping was immersed in his memories, his eyes were red with tears, but his expression was fierce: "Then one day, they injected me with a drop of blood. From that moment on, I suddenly understood everything, I saw Reaching the vast sea of ​​consciousness of the thornworm, seeing my father floating in the air and staring at me.—Do you know how happy I was then? I finally met my loved one. How could I leave him alone?

I caught him, I want him back, I tried many ways, but the effect is getting worse and worse.Later I realized that it is the worm king, and I need to become the worm king. With the power to manipulate the sea of ​​consciousness, I can bring you back.

So I worked hard to climb up, money, power, status, I went higher and higher, and got a lot of things that we used to dream of or even dare not imagine.But I still can't find the king bug egg - but now it doesn't matter. "

Lou Ping looked at Lou Qing and laughed: "Brother, you are the king of insects, you can bring our family back to the way it was before!"

Lou Qing shook her head, "I said, I can't do it."

He reached out and grabbed Lou Ping's hands that were pressed on the table excitedly, "Lou Ping, even if I am the king of insects, I can't bring back the lost consciousness. Even if it's your consciousness and mine, all I can do is to be killed by the thorn worm. It lasts the time of existence, rather than being retrieved after passing away. When people die, the lights go out, and some things cannot be repeated, and you have to accept this reality.”

How could Lou Ping not understand this truth?It's just that he doesn't want to accept it.

He was silent, and then, like when he was a child, he slowly moved his fingers out of Lou Qing's, and gently placed them on Lou Qing's fingers, clasping them tightly.

"If brother can't do it, then let me do it."

Lou Ping suddenly tightened his grip on Lou Qing's hand, his eyes were full of incomprehensible obsession, "Brother thinks it's impossible because we are not complete, and when we are complete, everything will come true—Brother knows that thorns How powerful is the power, isn't it? They have the power to make people's wishes come true.

I have lived soberly for so many years, I have learned many things, and I have also possessed wealth that ordinary people cannot match. Our Savimaso has become a hot golden town. Hurt us again. "

He confuses Lou Qing with the beautiful imagination in his dream, but Lou Qing just looks at him quietly, with sadness in his eyes.

Lou Qing's voice was hoarse due to choking, "So are you going to devour me? If you devour me, you will become the king of insects, or you won't be able to bring our consciousness back?"

"I will do it!"

Lou Ping said firmly as if he had predicted the answer, "I will bring everything back to the original track. I have lived for this for so many years."

As he said that, Lou Ping's expression softened again, "Brother, don't be afraid, one of us is going to become the king of insects. My brother has been sleeping for so long, and now it's just a little more sleep. Brother, sleep for a while." .”

boom.

With the end of Lou Ping's ending, a withered hand pierced Lou Qing's chest from back to front.

This moment was stretched very long.

Lou Ping’s paranoid and gentle expression in front of him, and the lingering “brother”; Yan Yu’s mournful and angry roar outside the “birdcage”, the humming of the golden crystal wall being smashed slightly trembling; The creaking sound of his body being broken, and the golden crystal fragments being brought out from the wound.

Lou Qing lowered his head slowly, looking at the hand passing behind him.The skin on the hands was loose, covered with brown age spots, stiff, without the slightest pulse, obviously not the body of a living person.

——Lou Ping can be transferred to the "accompanied" Ling You, but the control of the little old man can only be controlled by annihilating consciousness.

A tear fell from the corner of Lou Qing's eye.

Perception and mixed emotions mixed into the salty smell of sea water, branded as a scar in the soul.

The past and the images left in memory eventually become beyond recognition.

"elder brother."

Lou Ping let go of Lou Qing's hand and held it instead, tears began to fall in his eyes, but the corner of his mouth was smiling, "Brother, don't be afraid, I will wake you up soon, we The whole family will wake up."

Lou Qing looked up at Lou Ping again, his eyes were full of sadness, but there was no fear and pain caused by "death".

Lou Ping was stunned with a complicated expression.

At the same time, the hand of the little old man who was still lying across Lou Qing's body made a "creak" sound like ice cubes being squeezed - his hand began to crystallize.

Not only the little old man, but also Lou Ping.

That touch of gold was like ink dripping into the water, and it began to spread outward from Lou Qing as the center, soaking the little old man's arms and body, and also climbing onto Lou Ping's hands.

Lou Ping's eyes widened, and his expression became panicked. He withdrew his hand abruptly, but the golden color on his fingers was still spreading to other parts of his body.

"Brother, brother!"

Lou Ping looked at Lou Qing in a panic, with only fear in his eyes, "What's going on? I don't want to die, brother, don't eat me, I don't want to die."

He wants to live, he once stood on the edge of death, he has experienced the pain of death, he knows the horror of ignorance, so he is afraid of death, he does not want to die, he wants to live, even if it is timed to change It doesn't matter if your body lives!

Lou Qing looked at Lou Ping who shrank back because he was afraid of approaching him, and the tip of his tongue was bitter.

"Lou Ping, our destiny is doomed. It is true that the insect king and the false king can only live one, but even if my body disappears, you cannot swallow me. The insect king is destined to be me, because I recognize my new identity, I recognize my changes, but you just want to go back to the past, you just want to stick to your current position of power, you hate your identity infested with thornworms, so you can't devour me."

Lou Ping shook his head blankly, "No, it won't."

Lou Qing stretched out his hand, gently grabbed Lou Ping's shoulder, and pulled him into his arms.

Lou Ping's body touched the little old man's hand that pierced Lou Qing's body, and with a click, a piece of golden debris shattered.These debris were mixed with what fell from Lou Qing's body, and it was hard to tell which part of the three people it was.

"Pingping." Lou Qing called Lou Ping by his nickname, and stroked Lou Ping's hair, "Don't be afraid, I'll be with you."

Lou Ping was hugged in Lou Qing's arms, and his body completely lost the ability to resist.He could feel that the blood-colored flower that he had rooted in the golden sea was rapidly withering and withering.

When that flower disappears from the golden sea, he will also become an inconspicuous dream language flower bead in the golden sea.

ended.

Tears fell from Lou Ping's eyes, this time there was no unnecessary hate or love, no paranoia and tenderness that concealed a sharp edge.He seemed to have turned back into that little crying bag, leaning on Lou Qing's shoulder and crying uncontrollably.

"Brother." Lou Ping said hoarsely, "I'm sorry."

Lou Qing's lips trembled slightly, and there were crackling sounds in his ears, and he couldn't tell whether it was their bodies that were cracking, or whether they were cracking together.

Lou Ping continued: "Actually, I guessed that I couldn't beat you, because you have always been so good. I know that I have become something you don't like now, and I don't like it, really, but I can't stop. I don’t know why it became like this, but I’ve come to this point now.”

The cracking continued, and the bodies of the three people were like a sand tower washed away by water, turning into golden fly ash inch by inch.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

Lou Ping choked up, didn't say why he was sorry, and didn't need to say more.

When the last tear fell, Lou Ping's body instantly collapsed into a handful of golden sand.

Lou Qing maintained the hugging posture, closed his eyes hard, then slowly lowered his arms, and looked back at the little old man whose body was only above the shoulders.

"I'm sorry on behalf of Pingping."

Lou Qing looked at the little old man, and said guiltily and sadly, "If Huang Jinhai can really have reincarnation, I hope you will wash away the consciousness of this life, and you will no longer have a son like us in the next life."

The little old man couldn't give any response, only the golden dust fluttered in the bright light refracted by the golden crystal.

Lou Qing turned his head and glanced in Yan Yu's direction, showing a reassuring smile.Two seconds later, his body also merged into the golden river.

And in this piece of gold, a red pearl is suspended in it, shining brightly.

Outside the "birdcage", Yan Yu's eyes were red, and the white carapace once again covered all his skin. When he was about to raise his hard fist to smash the "birdcage", he saw the "birdcage" "There is another change.

——The suspended red pearl shook suddenly, and then, together with the surrounding golden dust, seemed to be swallowed by a strong suction, it instantly fell into the golden crystal in the crack of the rock and disappeared.

At the same time, the entire Golden Island began to tremble slightly.

The author has something to say: I was in a bad mood for two days in a row, so I felt like nausea, and I felt a little out of control mentally and emotionally.

This feeling of being out of control is really uncomfortable and a waste of time, but when you realize that this out of control is a waste of time but you can't control it, you will become more and more unable to control this out of control.

The whole vicious circle.

Good night! OVO
