Flowers Blooming in the Wasteland

In the simulated combat command room of the Blue Shield base, Fu Yunlan was still looking at the 3D map of the headquarters of the True God Sect, making a battle plan, and even taking into account many extreme emergencies and details.The Devourer's reaction speed is really too fast. If there is no preparation in advance, even if there is a whole team of super fighters in hand, it is very likely that they will be beaten helplessly.

He was so focused that he didn't notice when Celeste entered the room, until Celeste hugged his waist from behind and pressed his whole body against his back.

"What's wrong?" Fu Yunlan was completely unable to concentrate by him.

Celeste said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Being a super soldier can sleep a few hours less than ordinary people, but it doesn't mean you have to work a few more hours a day."

Fu Yunlan sighed, and said with a helpless smile: "I see, I'll take a shower and come to accompany you, okay?"

"Let's go together." Celeste clings to him, but won't let go.

Fu Yunlan was soaking in the bathtub that looked like a small swimming pool. Even though the bathtub was so big, Celeste insisted on being tired in his arms, making him uncomfortable even taking a bath.

Of course, this sweet little trouble made Fu Yunlan far more happy than troubled: "Is it my illusion, you seem to be more clingy now than before."

"Have I changed a lot?" Celeste leaned on him, tracing the contours of his muscles with his fingers along the smoother skin after his scar faded.

"It's so old that I almost don't know you." Fu Yunlan couldn't stand the itch, and grabbed his hand with a smile.

This half-joking remark sounded different to Celeste. Celeste looked at him seriously and asked, "Which one do you prefer, the present me or the past me?"

"What's the difference, isn't it all you?" Fu Yunlan realized that there was something wrong with Celeste's attitude, "What's the matter, what happened?"

Celeste lowered his eyes to look at the undulating water, and didn't speak for a while.

Fu Yunlan couldn't do anything about it. Celeste's personality was still a bit closed after all. He was not very good at things like persuasion and heart-to-heart talk, so he could only kiss Celeste with his usual gentle tone. And patiently said: "It's okay if you don't want to say it, when you want to tell me, I'll be right here."

---

It's not that Celeste doesn't want to say it, it's just that he doesn't know where to start when he has a lot of thoughts.

He knew that Fu Yunlan would definitely accept the facts no matter what, but under what circumstances the other party would accept it more easily and not hold grudges, this was a question that Celeste had to consider.

Just after the tenderness of that night, when he was full of tenderness and sweet words, wishing to become one, Celeste drew circles on Fu Yunlan's chest with his fingers, and asked in a soft voice: "Lan, will you always be like you are now?" love me like this?"

"Of course, it's the same at any time." Fu Yunlan grabbed his hand and put it to his mouth for a kiss. This introverted man has never been able to say any nasty words of love, but what he said was the most embarrassing. A sincere promise.

"Even though I may be a little... different from what you imagined?" Celeste considered his words.

"...What do you want to say?" Fu Yunlan felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Celeste sat up and said to the air: "Mass, from now on, completely take over all the authority of this room, and isolate He Xiao and Case from all visits."

"Good master," Marth said, "I promise they won't know if you blow up the house next."

Fu Yunlan, who was already a little sleepy, lost all sleepiness, and looked at Celeste in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"There are some things I don't want He Xiao to know." Celeste said, "Since he insists on keeping it from me, then I don't have to be honest with him about everything. It's fair."

"Did something happen between you?" Fu Yunlan became a little worried. Although personally speaking, he didn't want Celeste and He Xiao to get too close, but if there was a conflict between the two of them , I am afraid it will be a disaster for all mankind.

"This is exactly what I want to tell you today." Thelister said, "...I have recently begun to recover some memories intermittently."

I don't know whether it was the physical impact of the suicide bombing or the stimulation of Fu Yunlan's serious injury and dying. Since that day, Celeste's spirit has been a little unstable, but regardless of Marth, Both Keith and He Xiao put all their energy into improving the t-virus and saving Fu Yunlan's life, and neither of them noticed the small changes in him.

"You remember it all?" Fu Yunlan asked in surprise.

"I can only think of a few fragments, but I can already piece together a general situation...about who I am and how this all happened...It's a bit messy, and I don't know where to start." Thelister Lying down again, she fell into Fu Yunlan's arms. Fu Yunlan hugged Celeste naturally, and stroked his soft hair soothingly: "No hurry, take your time, and then?"

"Our bond started with Fu Yuanshan. Your adoptive father is my biological father. You took me in and took care of me in order to repay his kindness in nurturing him." Celeste said, "If I say that the real Thurley Stuter is dead, I'm actually not Fu Yuanshan's son, will your opinion of me change?"

"You mean I saved the wrong person?" Fu Yunlan didn't realize it for a while, "No, why would Modar know you in that case?"

"You didn't save the wrong person." Celeste shook his head, "But you also know that He Xiao and I are not human. Now that I think about it, we are a kind of parasitic creature without entity, we can only parasitize Survive in the brains of other intelligent creatures. In fact, when the nuclear explosion happened, the real Celeste had died in the car, and I parasitized on Celeste, got his memory, but forgot Knowing who she is, she has lived until now as Celeste in a ignorant way."

Celeste raised his face to look at Fu Yunlan, observing his reaction, but Fu Yunlan just seemed a little dazed: "Can you explain in more detail? What kind of creatures are you, and how do parasites work?" What's going on?"

"In this universe there is a very powerful race besides the Devourer, which can be called the 'Guardian' in human language. The reason why it is called the 'Guardian' is because we have been monitoring the newborn intelligent civilization to stop some More advanced civilizations influence and invade them, so that the new civilization can develop naturally without interference. When it develops to a certain level, we will judge whether it is a friendly civilization or a dangerous civilization. The former Will become our allies, as for the latter... We will collapse the space of that galaxy, so that the highest speed in that range will never be able to exceed the standard speed of light, and the technology of that civilization will never be able to develop to the extent that it can carry out interstellar travel , to ensure that they will not come out to harm other races, and can only fend for themselves on their own planet." Celeste said, "So from the very beginning, we are the sworn enemies of the Devourers and the most important combat force in the Guardian Alliance .”

"...Equivalent to the cosmic police?" Fu Yunlan asked.

"It can be said that although our original intention is not so selfless." Celeste said, "Our life form is destined to be unable to survive alone no matter how powerful our race is and how advanced our technology is, because we are A creature that only exists in one-dimensional space, do you have a concept of one-dimensional space?"

Fu Yunlan was even more at a loss: "I finally figured out what is three-dimensional and four-dimensional, and what is one-dimensional?"

"The smallest unit of the universe is an energy string with only length but no width or thickness. It forms basic molecules when it vibrates at a high speed non-stop. Different vibrations show different forms of molecules. When it does not vibrate At that time, it did not exist, but became an invisible energy fluctuation in one-dimensional space. It can be said that one-dimensional space is the foundation of the universe, thinking, life, these things that human beings are accustomed to but invisible and intangible all exist in one-dimensional space. Energy fluctuations in space. If this field is not touched, even if one day human beings can manufacture a complete cell with inorganic substances intact, they cannot make the cell truly "live", even if they can build a complete cell with molecules. The brain and nervous system cannot create thoughts out of thin air." Seeing that Fu Yunlan didn't understand, Celeste gave up these uncritical knowledge explanations, "We are a part of the world that exists in one-dimensional space. Pure energy fluctuations, you can think of us as a soul with thoughts, memories, personality, but no body, if we don’t parasitize in the brains of other intelligent creatures, we will slowly die out, so we must protect other intelligent civilizations."

"I understand, you are an alien creature parasitic on the body of 'Celester'." Fu Yunlan concluded, "So in the beginning you were clumsy and fell on the ground while walking, not because of the damage caused by radiation, It's because you just haven't gotten used to parasitism yet?"

"Yes." Celeste said, "The real me is just a wandering soul without a body, a parasite wearing a human body. I stole the identity and life that belonged to Celeste. meet you."

"No wonder you've always been a little...weird." Fu Yunlan now understands many things that he couldn't understand in the past.

"Now you know what kind of 'thing' I actually am." Celeste looked at his expression probingly, "Do you still like me like this?"

"I thought you were worried about something." Fu Yunlan smiled and stroked Celeste's hair, "It doesn't matter who you are actually, although I took care of you at the beginning because of my adoptive father, but later The person who helped me when I was in trouble, the person who took care of me when I was seriously injured, and the person who brought hope to mankind is the current you. So even if you are actually a person with eight tentacles It doesn't matter if you are an alien monster, I like you just as much."

Although he knew that Fu Yunlan would definitely accept this fact, seeing him say these words himself with an expression of no reluctance reassured Celeste a lot. He hugged Fu Yunlan contentedly and leaned against him A smile appeared on his chest amidst his powerful heartbeat.

In fact, Celeste also had the same idea as Fu Yunlan in his heart.

It doesn't matter who Fu Yunlan's clone is, why they met, or whether someone deliberately arranged it or not. The person who takes care of him, protects him, and gives him a sense of security is Fu Yunlan in front of him, and that is the most important thing.

"You must be well." Celeste buried his face in Fu Yunlan's chest and said softly, "I don't want to lose you again."

"No, don't worry." Fu Yunlan patted him reassuringly, thinking that Celeste was frightened by his serious injury again, but didn't think about what "again" meant.
