reverse travel

"I'm sorry, I have to go on a mission temporarily." Qin Yeshi's voice was a little muffled, "Please don't be angry, we are not in a formal relationship yet, and such behavior can be forgiven in the social etiquette of ordinary friends."

Zhang Xiao: "It's not that serious...bye."

He hung up the phone and stamped his feet in the fine snowflakes.

Ying Changhe said that Qin Yeshi wanted to date him, but Zhang Xiao really didn't have any interest in Qin Yeshi in that regard, so he planned to come over and make it clear to him.

He waited for half an hour, and Qin Yeshi finally said he couldn't come.Zhang Xiao didn't know what to do with the extra half day.He bought a cup of coffee and walked all the way into the subway station, staring at the lines in a daze.

There is a place he hasn't been to for a long time.

The location of the [-] General Hospital is slightly off. It specializes in the treatment of difficult and miscellaneous diseases related to special groups of people. His parents live there.Zhang Xiao thought for a long time before swiping his card through the gate.

It takes about an hour to go to the [-] General Hospital from here, and there are two kilometers to go after arriving at the station. Zhang Xiao is very familiar with this road.

When he arrived at the gate of the hospital, he found that it was no different from the last time he came two years ago.

[-] General Hospital occupies a large area. There is a clear division between the outpatient building, the medical technology building and the inpatient area. In addition, there is a living area and an educational area. "General Hospital of the [-]th Military Region" was posted on the upper floor of the outpatient clinic, next to the logo of the Red Cross.Compared with the grand building, the entrance of the hospital is much more stingy. The heavy iron gate is tightly closed, and only a detector is embedded near the security area, which is the passageway for visitors.

The guards at the gate had changed, and Zhang Xiao saw several neatly dressed in military uniforms.

"What are you doing?" the hospital guard came over and asked him, and several soldiers nearby also turned their heads to look this way.

The guard pointed at the detector: "Go in from there, don't linger at the door."

"Let me take a look." Zhang Xiao said, "My parents are hospitalized here."

The guard raised his eyebrows: "That's it, then you go in, have you brought your ID card?"

The hospital's security system and the population system are interoperable. If a visitor is shown to be a sentry or a guide when swiping their ID card, they will be taken to a small room on the side and asked to release their spirit body for verification.

"If I don't go in, I'll just take a look." Zhang Xiao said.

The guard looked at him strangely: "Why?"

Zhang Xiao lied: "I'm not in good health recently, and my mental body can't condense into a solid body."

The guard suddenly realized and nodded: "I know, you have kidney deficiency, it's like this, it's like this..."

Zhang Xiao: "Well..."

He was about to turn around and leave when a man who covered himself tightly walked over slowly, rubbing his shoulder.When the man passed by the detector, the detector issued a sharp alarm sound, and he quickly handed out his ID card. Zhang Xiao saw that he was also wearing thick gloves on his hands.

"The mask and hat have been removed." The guard said, "Take a blood test."

He took out a thin needle, took off the man's gloves and quickly pricked his finger, and immediately wiped the test paper on his hand when blood beads came out.

Zhang Xiao saw that person's face.This was the first time he saw half-zombified humans in real life.The middle-aged man's face was dry, without any muscles, and the skin was all wrinkled, tightly attached to the skull.As if he had suffered a serious illness, his skin was a lifeless gray-brown, and his face was covered with spots here and there, like a shriveled and messy piece of paper.Aware of Zhang Xiao's gaze, the man glanced at him.The whites of the man's eyes were as red as blood, and the eyeballs were not black, but gray that was close to white.

"I won't live long." The hospital guard next to Zhang Xiao whispered, "When the eyeballs are completely white, the zombie virus will invade the brain, and it can't be saved."

"……now what?"

"He came to the hospital for confinement." The guard looked very gossip, "Half-zombified humans have been under surveillance since the day they registered. They have to regularly draw blood to check the virus concentration in the blood. If it exceeds the standard, they will be sent to the hospital forcibly." Come here. But some have a more human conscience, like this one, who knew he was going to die and was afraid of hurting the people around him, so he came here by himself. It’s useless for such a thing to die.”

Zhang Xiao thought to himself, it makes sense for semi-zombified human beings to pursue human rights.

"I'm leaving, thank you." Zhang Xiao said.

He knew that this trip was for nothing, but when Ying Changhe asked about it that day, he suddenly missed his parents very much.

They couldn't get out of this hospital, and he couldn't get in.

Both parents are ordinary people, but he is a guide—Zhang Xiao wondered why such a rare thing happened to him.

It is not a good thing to be a special group of people. Even though the appearance is the same as ordinary people, it will always be different: ordinary people will not have a lifetime of dependence and admiration that cannot be eliminated or weakened just because they are hugged by the person they like.

Zhang Xiao had only heard of the engraving effect, and when it really happened to him, he understood why some people would resist it: it was too terrifying.

Gao Qiong has no reaction to him, but the engraving effect will bind him to Gao Qiong forever, and his whole life will be ups and downs because of Gao Qiong's ups and downs, and joy because of Gao Qiong's joy.A road that only ends in death, a road that can only be walked alone.Zhang Xiao was so frightened that he couldn't sleep, even when he returned to work at the Cultural Management Committee, he kept hiding from Gao Qiong.He was afraid that once he saw Gao Qiong, the power of his mental body would overflow uncontrollably.

And he always just wanted to be an ordinary person, to have an ordinary love, to fall in love with an ordinary but good person, and to live an ordinary life.

Fortunately, what was elicited was only the power of the spiritual body, not the complete spiritual body.Zhang Xiao comforted himself: It means that the impact of the engraving effect on him is not too serious.

"I warn you not to touch it, or you will let the snake go." Zhou Sha walked through the protection area, and saw Gao Qiong staring at the treasures on the shelf again, "Also, can't your wolf be put away?"

Gao Qiong looked down at the wolf who was closely following him.

The spiritual bodies of the two sentries over there are also wolves, but they look a little different from his: they are bigger and stronger than ordinary wolves, but their legs are relatively shorter, as if they are stunted And lazy in sports, becoming fat and thin legs.However, it was more aggressive and wild than the two sentinel wolves. It was so happy to fight, and Gao Qiong couldn't control it.In the competition with Zhou Sha, it almost bit Zhou Sha's tree viper's tail. This action directly angered the tree viper, and finally caused the tree viper to prick it with venom.

"I don't know why, but I often run out." Gao Qiong said, "Is there something wrong with me?"

He and Zhou Sha were the only sentinels in the Cultural Management Committee, and there was no one else to ask.

"You don't have such a strange illness, what have you done recently?" Zhou Sha asked.

Gao Qiong recalled silently.He didn't do anything strange, he went to work slowly every day, ate steamed buns with celery and meat, worked slowly, and left work slowly.When I got home, I studied Zhou Sha's "Sentinel General Knowledge", obsessed with looking up English-Chinese dictionaries to understand notes, and didn't even watch TV series.

He briefly explained his boring life to Zhou Sha. .

Zhou Sha was dissatisfied with Gao Qiong's answer: "The mental body keeps running out, either because it senses danger, or it's because it's too happy."

"There's nothing to be happy about, I'm not happy." Gao Qiong said.

"It's your mental body that is happy. You are happy that it is happy, and you are also very relaxed when it is happy. Don't lie to me, something must have happened." Zhou Sha thought for a while, and his heart moved, "You and Zhang Xiao had a fight. ?”

"It's not noisy." Gao Qiong thought for a while, "I gave him a hug, but he didn't look very happy."

Zhou Sha sat up straight at once: "You hugged him? Did anything unusual happen?"

"Oh, I know this, the engraving effect." The corners of Gao Qiong's mouth twitched, his eyebrows twitched, and it was an indistinct smile, "The power of his mental body was drawn out by me."

Zhou Sha looked at him with a smile.

"...What are you laughing at?" Gao Qiong became vigilant, "Why are you smiling so pitifully?"

"Do you really know what the engraving effect is?"

Gao Qiong directly recited the sentence in the book: "It refers to the first time a sentinel or guide is lured out of spiritual power or a complete spiritual body by someone he likes. What's wrong?"

Zhou Sha stood up and brushed his long hair cheerfully: "Oh...I didn't expect you to be tall and big, but you are a fool."

Gao Qiong's face sank: "What?"

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with your illness. I advise you, if you don't want to put the wolf away, don't even think about talking to Zhang Xiao in the future. It's not like you don't know that he's afraid of these things." Zhou Sha jumped up and down walked away, looking very happy.

Gao Qiong's face was calm, but his heart was completely confused. He couldn't understand Zhou Sha's words.

But the last sentence is clear.

He looked down at his wolf.The gray-white giant wolf looked up at him, howled a few times, and shook its fluffy fur.

"Go back." Gao Qiong looked at the time, the "half-day vacation" that Ying Changhe said was over, Zhang Xiao should be back.

This time the wolf disappeared very quickly, and instantly turned into a hazy mist and sneaked into Gao Qiong's body.

It was already afternoon when Zhang Xiao returned to the Culture Management Committee.When he got out of the elevator, he met Ying Changhe, who asked him to come to the office with a serious face and talk to him.

In the regular meeting in the morning, Zhou Sha and Yuan Yiwei reflected one thing.

The search for the purple sand peach-shaped cup is still in progress. Except for the first time Zhang Xiao participated, he did not accompany him the next few times.When he is not accompanying him, he only needs to adjust the data of his prototype and other people's mass-produced machines, and then activate Chen Shiyi to allow the person holding the mass-produced machine to make a space transition.When Yuan Yiwei and Zhou Sha went to work in the field, Zhang Xiao sorted out last year's work materials in the cultural management committee to deal with the inspection, and then entered the protection area again within the specified time, adjusted Chen Shiyi, and put Yuan Yiwei and Zhou Sha together. Zhou Sha took it back.

The problem lies in Zhang Xiao's process of adjusting the data.

He used to be able to complete the data adjustment work in an instant, but it took a long time the last few times.

One time, after Zhou Sha and Yuan Yiwei landed, they even found that the actual landing point was several kilometers away from their planned landing point, and it happened to land on a market.

Fortunately, the Odris Barrier would work when Zhang Xiao wasn't accompanying them, and the two walked through the crowd without being seen by anyone.

After Zhang Xiao heard it, cold sweat broke out: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry!"

Ying Changhe raised his hand to stop his apology: "This situation is actually very common. When Chen Yi first took over Chen Shiyi's work, he still missed the time. It was several years ahead of schedule, and then he became proficient. But Zhang Xiao, I think you're a little different from him. Do you know why you can't tune?"

"I know." Zhang Xiao whispered.

He was in a bad mood, not in a high mood, and every time Zhou Sha and Yuan Yiwei entered the protection area to prepare for duty, Gao Qiong would also come in to get involved.Although he just stood and watched, once Zhang Xiao realized that he was beside him, he would not be able to stabilize himself, for fear that his mental and physical strength would overflow again if he was not careful.

"I still need a lot of practice. I will tell my senior sister and ask her to help me. The two of us can do leaping exercises together."

Ying Changhe asked, "Why didn't you practice with Gao Qiong?"

"...It was you who told me not to associate with him."

Ying Changhe had a headache.He pondered for a moment, then asked very lively: "How do you feel about dating Qin Ye today? Are you happy?"

Zhang Xiao replied coldly: "He let me go, but he didn't go."

Ying Changhe: "..."

After a long sigh, he got up and walked around the office.The daffodils on the washstand were blooming more and more, and the smell in the room was so fragrant that people would faint.

"Okay, I promise you." Ying Changhe said, "I made you and Gao Qiong together, just like Zhou Sha and Yuan Yiwei, it is a fixed match. Are you happy?"

Zhang Xiao: "...No, I don't know."

His face is a little hot.After jumping in his heart for a while, he thought of Gao Qiong's thoughts: "But he doesn't like to work with me. And Qin Yeshi..."

"You have to like it if you don't like it." Ying Changhe waved his hand, "Don't worry about Qin Yeshi, this is work. Call him over and I'll talk to him."

The author has something to say: Qin Yeshi: ...? ? ?

I am very happy to see a girl search for the imprint effect!That's right, the "imprinting effect" in the text is adapted from the "imprinting effect"!Because the words used directly do not conform to the setting and plot in the text, so I created a new word + new concept (￣▽￣")
