[Infinite] End Game

"Is it about Ji Shenlan? I don't know much about it, because I haven't joined Shenhai for a long time, but..." Tang Yu put his arms around Chang He's shoulders, and adjusted him to a more comfortable position with some effort. Leaning on his lap, he heard Zong Hai mentioning Ji Shenlan, so he thought for a while and said: "He has been reading that book, many times, and never leaves that yard. He always sits for a day. I Do you think he has been waiting for something, is he waiting for you?"

"..." Zong Hai didn't answer, the smile on his face dissipated, and after a long silence, he stared at his knees and said in a low voice, "I planted the Ling Xiaohua in that yard, because it's very lively and blooms beautifully." Kind of. At that time, I also thought that if something happened to me, I could leave him a thought, but I started to regret it later. It would be great if I could say goodbye at that time."

... Farewell, huh?

Tang Yu thought for a while and said, "Maybe I shouldn't comment on the relationship between you, but I know that people sometimes need to rely on some support to survive." For Ji Shenlan, Zong Hai is his support, and it is probably the same for Zong Hai.

"Yes, but why do you have to wait for someone who won't go back?" Zong Hai lowered his eyes slightly, and his face always looked calm, but in the end of every sentence But they all buried and suppressed emotions that were almost gushing out.

"Shen Lan is a very good and strong person. He can come out, but he just refuses." Zong Hai said: "I hope he opens up his social circle, I hope he can meet better people, I hope he can be happy ...I hope he can take a step forward."

Zong Hai smiled and said: "If you see Shen Lan after you go out, can you persuade him for me? Let him look at others, and stop looking at the past."

"...Sorry," Tang Yu looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said calmly, "I can repeat what you said, but I won't persuade him, because whether to look forward or backward, etc. Whether to wait or not to go or not to go is his own choice."

Moreover, Tang Yu's eyes lightly fell on Chang He's face.He already understood some things. Although he didn't want things to inevitably go to the ending he thought, what he didn't say was that some things and some people were worth waiting for.

When Chang He woke up, the candle flame was already burning very weakly, and the sound of wind and snow kept beating against the window, making the room extraordinarily quiet and warm, like a small isolated world.Chang Heping was lying on the bed, he looked at the shadow of the ceiling quietly, his head still hurt a little.

At this moment, Chang He heard footsteps approaching, but the person did not approach, but stopped at the door.

Chang He sat up quietly, and as soon as the angle of view shifted, he caught sight of a black-haired man lying on the bedside. Tang Yu lay on the quilt with his arms pillowed, his hair hanging down softly to cover his pale cheeks , obviously already fast asleep.

Chang He's heart softened, but thinking that Zong Hai had deliberately chosen this time to stand at the door waiting for him, he must have something to say, so he got out of bed carefully, and walked out without making a sound.

The two walked toward the stairs side by side tacitly, until they were far away from the room just now, Zong Hai said softly: "You have been unconscious for two days, and Tang Yu is also exhausted these two days, he has been guarding you."

"Two days?" Chang He's expression became serious.

"...Ah, that's right," Chang He smiled, and the two of them just walked into the living room, so he raised his chin and motioned Chang He to look at the grandfather clock standing by the wall: "So tomorrow the sun will rise , There are still thirteen hours, we can talk."

Chang He glanced at him and said lightly, "I want to make something for Tang Yu, he will be hungry when he wakes up."

Zong Hai: ... Tsk.

There was still a lot of food left in the kitchen, Chang He found some beef, potatoes and vegetables, and was about to fry a steak and cook a soup, Zong Hai leaned on the table to watch him cook, and said while watching: "How is it? Has the black box been deciphered? What happened then?"

"We were deceived." Chang He stopped cutting vegetables for a moment, "The will of the game is not behind the barrier formed by the death copy, on the contrary, there is a black hole."

Chang He thinks of the scene that day, the memory is full of silent silence, distorted light and sticky blood covering the field of vision, obviously there is no flame, but there is always a smoky and desolate smell, and all that In the center of all human beings, the closest description is 'black hole'.

"Black hole?" Zong Hai frowned. Someone once assumed that if a human being enters a black hole, he will be stretched first, then torn apart, and finally merged with the black hole.Just based on what Chang He said subconsciously, Zong Hai understood what Chang He saw at that time.

When a person is overly stimulated and sees incomprehensible things, the mental barrier will be weakened, just like a chisel digging ice. Once the barrier is broken, human rationality will collapse. So it's not surprising why Chang He took out his memory and sealed it up, which even caused him to lose his memory.On the one hand, it is to maintain rationality, and on the other hand, it is also to reduce subsequent stress trauma.

Zong Hai keenly noticed that Chang He's fingers were shaking. If possible, he didn't want to provoke Chang He, but...he still had to ask: "How did you escape?"

"I took the item." Chang He said: "Although there is no will to play there, maybe it is to maintain the stable operation of the world. There is an item there-I got it."

"Props? Yog-Sothoth's props?" Zong Hai couldn't help but widen his eyes, and after a long while he murmured: "Yog-Sothoth knows where the gate is, and Yog-Sothoth is The door, Yog-Sothoth is the key to the door, the gatekeeper... wait, the doorkey, the doorkey!"

Zong Hai's eyes lit up, he raised his volume, grabbed Chang He excitedly, and asked, "Did you get the silver key?"

"This is the only prop left by Yog Sothoth that can replace his identity. This can explain why his ability to control the copy suddenly weakened, and the silver key itself has the ability to travel through time, The ability of space and life, that's why you can attach to Managarm, and you can chase Tang Yu into the dungeon..."

"Yes, Zong Hai, it's the door key." Chang He looked at the excited person, and calmly corrected his statement: "But I don't hold this prop, but I am this prop."

"I was also torn apart by the black hole at that time, but I got the Portkey, and then somehow I was mixed together, so I can't tell what I am now, if I have to say it," that The feeling of being torn apart and then being forcibly added with some inhuman things to stir and recombine is still engraved in my bones. When I think about it, it still makes my soul tremble. Chang He touched the bridge of his nose and calmed down. Only then continued to conclude: "I'm probably a bug."
