The Scavengers

April 10

"You know what I'm doing." Xue Lihong said to Xiao Mo who was being suppressed by him, and stopped Cheng Zai, "Don't come over there!"

Cheng Zai stopped, no matter how dull he was, he knew there must be something wrong between the two of them, besides, he was not slow.He also stepped back on purpose, leaving room for the two of them to talk privately.

Xue Lihong stared at the man, "Get out!"

"You know it's impossible." The man suddenly smiled, "No matter how hard I roll, I can't leave this body."

"Let Xiao Mo come out." Xue Lihong was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

The man shook his body, "Can you relax a little? Even if I have the ability to repair, it doesn't mean I can't feel the pain. And I don't believe you can't see it. As long as I want, I can make you see it for a long time. Out of this body, the main consciousness has been changed."

"Then what is your intention to let me see? To seek death?" Xue Lihong relaxed him a little, not for this conscious body, but for the sake of his boss not to suffer more crimes when he comes back later.

The man turned over and faced Xue Lihong head-on, with a smile on his face, although he was a little twisted because his arm was twisted too painfully, "Because the time I can master this body will be very short... Lie to you? Meaning, I might as well tell the truth. I hope to let you know the difference between me and another consciousness body as quickly as possible. I think you should be able to feel that 'I' is more suitable to be your partner. If you want to be a partner, you can also Yes, I will be loyal to you, as long as you will not betray me."

"This is what you think." Xue Lihong's face was indifferent, "I don't want to see you again in the future."

"Don't be so indifferent, okay? The Xiao Mo you see is just a by-product of my main consciousness. In other words, it's me too, just another personality I showed. You know that people have multiple faces." The man jokes and tries to make the conversation easier.

"The main consciousness to voluntarily give up the control of your own body?" Xue Lihong's eyes showed a sneer, "You are just a coward and a coward, because you can't bear the consequences you caused, you chose to escape from reality, and even created another one just like you. You must have hated yourself at that time because you have almost the opposite nature, right? But now you probably feel bored? Think the current troubled times are more suitable for someone like you? Feel that there is finally a stage for you to play? So you think again Take back control of your body?"

The smile on the man's face disappeared, and his expression became a little painful, "Even if it's you, if you encounter what I encountered at that time..."

"Don't put yourself in the position of the weak, do you want me to pity you? It's a pity that I have seen too many poor people, and my sympathy has long since died." Xue Lihong sneered, "Or do you want to Saying that I am not a coward, that I paid a price and pain that others could not imagine by closing myself to create another consciousness? And you did it not to escape, but out of self-protection? "

A trace of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, the speed was so fast that it was impossible to catch, "You..."

"Strange how do I know?" Xue Lihong grabbed the man's chin in a gesture of absolute control, "Because I have met a person similar to you, but he just wanted to keep a secret for himself, and he The enemy is too powerful, so he did not hesitate to 'kill' himself, and let the secret be submerged in his mind forever. What about you? What kind of situation did you encounter at that time, so that you did not hesitate to pay a huge price to seal yourself?"

The man's lips moved.

"You don't have to tell me, and I don't want to know either. I just need to know that you killed him once just to have a short chance to come out, and that's enough for me." Xue Lihong let go of the man's chin, He likes to touch his boss, he likes to take advantage of Lao Xiao, but the strange thing is that it is still the same body, but with a different consciousness, the feeling of touching is completely different, and after only a short while, he feels all kinds of awkwardness .

It's as if he grabbed a strange man with the gesture and intimacy of grabbing his wife. Thinking about it makes him sick so much that he wants to wash his hands immediately!

He thought he could hold it in for so long, anyone could do it, but it turned out not to be.Xue Lihong teased herself in her heart.

The man's expression finally changed, and he blurted out: "I'm not your enemy! I know he won't die, I just..."

"You just want to regain control of your body, but you find that the command exchange you set before you closed yourself doesn't work. What's even more frightening is that if you don't get his consent, you won't even have a chance to come out. For this reason, you did not hesitate to risk offending me and come out to meet me, because you know that I have a way to help you, and as long as I want, I can easily dispel his desire to survive." After a pause, Xue Lihong said softly : "As long as he disappears completely, you will naturally be able to control this body."

The man did not argue. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he said: "What he can do, I can do too, and I can even do it better than him. If you are worried that I can do it by repairing your body." Threat, you can manipulate my body and even my brain, I believe you must have the means to control me."

Xue Lihong waited patiently, he wanted to see how long this person could control this body.

"You...really like him? Like me with that personality? Yes, who doesn't like kind people." The man smiled wryly, and said to himself: "Even if I am reluctant to let him disappear, if there is a chance to integrate ..."

The man raised his eyelids, "If I choose to merge with him, after all, he is also me, would you still want to kill me?"

The young man looked at him as if he was looking at a psychopath, and he was a little impatient.

"Or are you afraid of me? Because you know that my main body is harder to control than that clone? Are you afraid? Afraid of being manipulated by me in turn? Ha!"

This time the young man looked at him like he was looking at a clown.

The man is powerless, and now he finally believes that this person may really have lived for more than a thousand years, and only an old monster who has experienced too much can be so calm and so impenetrable!

The man was not depressed, but such Xue Lihong aroused his stronger desire to survive.He wanted this partner. If he had such a person by his side back then, he would not have made such a self-harming decision.

"Boss Xiao" was created by him. Since Xue Lihong likes Boss Xiao, she shouldn't reject him like this.

Maybe he used the wrong method. He shouldn't appear so forcefully. If he can fall in love with a sticky person like Boss Xiao, who can be moved by the so-called kindness, he will definitely not easily fall in love with another person who is as strong as himself. .

But he firmly believes that the two of them are the most suitable. In this kind of world, only strong alliances can survive longer and more comfortably. Strong, but also dragged to death.

So now is not the time for him to come out, he should continue to hibernate in this body, Boss Xiao's character will kill himself sooner or later, he just needs to wait until Xue Lihong is completely disappointed and bored with that Xiao Mo, he will find another one When the right time comes out, I'm afraid he doesn't need to do anything at that time, and Xue Lihong will take the initiative to make that Xiao Mo disappear completely.

Having figured this out, the man no longer continued to fight against another consciousness in his mind, but relaxed himself and sank into the darkness he was familiar with.

The man opened his eyes again and it was Xiao Mo.

Xue Lihong just looked into his eyes and knew that he had changed back.

Reaching out to him, "get up."

Xiao Mo followed his hand and sat up, but did not stand up, but just sat on the ground, as if in a daze.

Xue Lihong knelt down in front of him, pinched his cheek, "You are too careless."

Xiao Mo raised his face, and the entanglement that he had suppressed for several days resurfaced again, "Just now... I saw it, he seemed to want me to see it on purpose."

"Oh?"

"I can feel that he is very sad. He actually doesn't want to say those words. He... doesn't want you to hate him."

"Are you sympathizing with him?"

Xiao Mo didn't know how to answer.

"You want to give up control of your body to him again?"

"No, but he said just now that he wants to merge with me..."

Xue Lihong twitched the corner of her mouth, put her hands on her knees and stood up.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Mo suddenly panicked, and quickly stood up from the ground, "Xiao Hong?"

Xue Lihong turned her head, "If it was someone else, maybe he would be very disappointed and say to you at this time, 'You are so fucking stupid, you can do whatever you want in the future, I am too lazy to care about you' or something like that."

Xiao Mo really wanted to say something like "You don't care if you don't want to, and I don't care about it", but he finally held back.

Xue Lihong was in a relationship for the first time, and he found that if Boss Xiao was regarded as a partner, he seemed to be a little more picky about him. What he didn't care about before, now he wants to beat him up.

But partners also need more patience, communication and management. A relationship that is only maintained by emotion and lust will one day be separated due to emotional breakdown or boredom.

However, Xiao Mo still doesn't know that they are already a partner. He still treats him as a good friend and partner, and he doesn't know how to correctly grasp and maintain this relationship. Coupled with his personality, It is really easy to make the other party feel tired, and then slowly alienate him.

"Boss, you are lucky to have met me." Xue Lihong pulled him to the base vehicle without any hassle.

"...Yeah, I think so too." Xiao Mo murmured.

Xue Lihong raised her voice towards Cheng Zai who was looking at them, "Wait a little longer."

Cheng Zai's voice came from the other end, "Okay, Brother Xue, talk to Brother Xiao slowly, don't worry."

Xiao Mo exhaled, "We have been delayed for a long time, let's do our work first."

Xue Lihong grabbed him, "Don't be in a hurry. Xiao Mo, we need to have a good talk." Originally he didn't think it was necessary, but now he finds that communication is really important, especially for this person.

Xiao Mo said uncomfortably: "What are we talking about? Are we going to talk about it here? Or we can talk about it when we go back tonight."

But Xue Lihong didn't let him go, "I haven't told you about my past, do you want to hear it?"

"..." Xiao Mo struggled.He'd love to hear it, but it's really not a good place to talk, and he's not in the right mood right now.

But is Xue Lihong someone who cares about the place of conversation?He said what he wanted to say.

"I used to be a juvenile body. Even if I have some life-saving skills, once I encounter some major natural disasters and man-made disasters, I still need others to protect me. Over a long period of time, I gradually learned to recognize who is soft-hearted and kind-hearted. People, just like I asked you to raise me for a period of time before, I have also found many people to help me through those difficult years, but I can't stay with those people for a long time, at least a day or two, the longest For months, only twice over a year, do you know why?"

Xiao Mo's attention was involuntarily attracted.

Xue Lihong and him leaned side by side on the dilapidated base car, and whispered: "Because even a kind person will have a lot of help, some because of family members, some because of the environment, and some are simply afraid of me. Among these people He also treated me very well, even willing to sacrifice his life for me. I also had the idea of ​​wanting to stay with some people for a long time. I have tried twice, and these two times lasted more than a year .”

Xiao Mo's heart slowly calmed down.

"One time was a kind woman who lost her own child. After being with me for five years, this woman put a sleeping drug in my porridge and sent me to the church to exorcise demons."

"What?!" Xiao Mo was shocked, "How could she do this? Why?"

Xue Lihong smiled faintly, "Because I won't grow up, and because I'm more intelligent than ordinary adults, she's scared."

"Stupid!" Xiao Mo scolded angrily, "Then are you okay afterwards?"

"It's nothing serious. I was beaten a few times, starved for a few days, and bled a little. I found a chance to escape before being burned to death."

Xiao Mo didn't know why he was so sad, the young man spoke so plainly, he subconsciously grabbed the young man's hand, thinking that it would be great if he could meet him sooner.

"One more time..."

"Mission No. 02 of the third level is launched. Task content: Scavengers Xiao Mo are requested to recover all local undead virus carriers before 10:19 noon on October 12. Special note: If this mission fails, the scavengers will be forcibly wiped out. The system randomly waits for new scavengers to appear."
