merit book

Rong Yuan sat against the wall, put his hands on his forehead, closed his eyes, and frowned slightly.

He tried to recall Paco's appearance, but found that the details were always vague. The harder he tried to recall, the harder the memory seemed to play hide and seek with him. He couldn't even tell which ones were real and which ones were just his own. Image in fantasy.

This doesn't make sense, because his memory has always been very good, and the only reason why he can't remember is that he has never looked at the other person's appearance with his heart.He used to think of that guy as a step, a bridge, a pass, what he should really do but never think about it, is...friend.

The only thing to look at carefully and firmly remember for the last time is his blood-stained head.

What is more painful than losing a friend is that when you lose him, you realize how important this person is to you, but when you look back on the past, you find that the memory of the other person is so pale.

Rong Yuan almost hated himself.

However, intellectually, he was very clear that if he did it again, and time went back to the time when they met, he, who yearned for the vast world and the boundless universe, was suspicious and full of doubts and vigilance, would not be able to open his heart and be honest.But at least... But at least, they can have some more personal conversations in the clear utilitarian conversation, and he may be able to look away from the distant interstellar and see what the people around him are like.

Because of digging his memory, Rong Yuan found that he knew almost nothing about Paco.He didn't know how Paco grew up, what dangers he experienced, what he liked and hated, where he lived, whether he had family and friends, whether anyone was waiting for him to return... He never tried to understand, even by chance If the topic shifts to this aspect, he will quickly pull it away, because he doesn't care about these things at all.

All his understanding of Paco comes from Emerida—the Landia girl who actually spent a very short time with Paco, and the media of Bhikkhu—interpreting Paco from various angles. Just bad to the bone, good at disguising, sinister and vicious bhikkhu star scum.

Rong Yuan had never felt so remorseful before.

"I'm sorry." Pea said in a very soft voice, the small sound of apology disappeared without anyone noticing like a wisp of smoke.It placed its small palm on Rong Yuan's fingers, knowing that the other party needs to be quiet, so it silently stayed by its side.

The scene of the same scene seems to have appeared many times in memory.Countless contractors were ecstatic when they first got the "Book of Merits and Deeds", but when their lovers, parents, children, and best friends are facing death, there are obviously countless people in the Merit Mall who can save their loved ones, and even kill the dead. It seems that it has seen that kind of pain too many times for a god who has been brought back to life but cannot be saved due to restrictions, or forcibly trying to save it but hastening its death.Contractors can't resent fate, they can only resent the "Book of Merit" that forbids them to save.

The images that flashed in my memory were so blurry, but those eyes with hatred like knives were as clear as if they were right in front of my eyes.Pea couldn't help shivering, subconsciously shrank towards Rong Yuan's palm.

……

"Tuck, are you... all right these two days?" After finishing the meal in silence, Tini asked with some concern, not in a hurry to clear the table.

He himself is not good at words, is not sensitive to other people's emotions, and is a very clumsy person in interpersonal communication.He saw Rong Yuan's strangeness in his eyes, and repeated the words of concern in his heart for more than a day, and finally he was able to say such dry words.

"It's okay. Why do you ask that?" Rong Yuan asked casually.

"Because, I think...you look a bit in pain." Tini said cautiously, seeing Rong Yuan's eyes tremble, almost looking over fiercely, he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry."

He who originally regarded himself as a "protector" lost his dominance in just a few days for some reason. The child he picked up seemed to have done nothing, but the confidence in Tini's heart became less and less, especially When the other party's face was stiff, he even had the urge to kneel immediately.

Twice as tall as an ordinary octopus, and compared to Rong Yuan's real size, the octopus looks like a big truck, shrinking its neck in a panic, with its tentacles twisted into twists behind its back, its round eyes drooping, and it looks up quickly. Get up and look at Rong Yuan's face, then quickly hang down and turn left and right, so back and forth, like a child who has done something wrong and is waiting to be scolded.

This kind of stupid behavior instantly dissipated the inexplicable anger that Rong Yuan had just raised, and he suddenly realized that if he didn't want Paco's tragedy to happen to this kind octopus, if he didn't want to experience that kind of regret again. He should leave as soon as possible and stay here. Sooner or later, Tini will be killed because of them.

Paco, Tini, these bhikkhu stars are not simply tools that can be used. They may have more abundant emotions, stronger desire to survive, and better future ideas than him.The two of them, and many others—whether they are earthlings or aliens—are not props that should be weighed on the scales, but fresh and precious lives.

His fingers moved slightly, he hesitated for a moment, and raised his palm to cover one of the tentacles that Tiny had placed on the table.The strange touch made Tini blink his eyes in doubt, and then he was attracted by Rong Yuan's words.

"I'm leaving." Rong Yuan said.

"Why?" Tiny immediately panicked, and hurriedly asked: "Does living here make you uncomfortable? Or is there something wrong with me, you just..."

"It's not like this." Rong Yuan looked into his eyes and comforted him with a soft tone: "It's not like that. It's... my family members came here, and they hope that I can live with them."

"Oh." Tiny lowered his eyes in disappointment, the whole octopus seemed to have shrunk, and he said, "Since this is the case...then, the best thing is that you can live with your family...I'm very happy ...are they treating you well?"

"Very good. I'm sorry, Tiny." Rong Yuan stood up, looked down at him, and added: "Thank you for everything you have done for me."

"It's nothing." Tiny opened his mouth and said with an ugly smile like crying, "I hope you are happy."

"I also want you to be happy. Tini, even if I leave, you are not alone." Rong Yuan looked at Tini's eyes covered with water, and said, "Miss Papara from the suspension car repair shop across the street likes you ,do not you know?"

Although the time he lived here was very short, he still made a detailed investigation and understanding of the surrounding residents, and it was not difficult to find that the owner who provided himself with a shelter also had a good admirer.Originally, he didn't intend to gossip, this kind of impulsive emotion stimulated by hormones, Rong Yuan doesn't even know much about human beings, let alone an alien octopus?But at this time, he felt that maybe it would be better to let this dull octopus know.

"What, what!" Tini said with a terrified expression on his tongue, "Papa, Pa, Miss Papapara?"

He was dumbfounded and tongue-tied, and his dull expression seemed to be slapped head-on by a hover car.Then his face changed wonderfully: the eyes elongated and curved, the mouth became wider and wider, the flesh on the face piled and stretched to the sides, and the color gradually darkened from the top of the head to all the tentacles.He maintained such a weird, silly expression and laughed for a while, then suddenly woke up, his watery eyes were flickering and he did not dare to look far away, his two tentacles were lightly pointing at each other, and he asked shyly, "What are you doing?" ... how do you know? Miss Papara is beautiful and kind... maybe... maybe... she doesn't mean it at all?"

He asked this question on his lips, but he was eager for a completely different answer in his heart.Unexpectedly, Rong Yuan left a sentence: "If you want to know the answer, why don't you find it yourself?"

Tini raised his head suddenly, stared at Rong Yuan full of mourning, unexpectedly saw Rong Yuan almost smiled slightly, the kind of tenderness and sadness that was within reach made him startled, and then his heart tugged.

Rong Yuan didn't say any more, turned and left.He walked out of the restaurant, opened the door, and walked out.Hearing the sound of the door closing, Tini was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, jumped up and rushed out the door with unrepeatable agility, and saw that Rong Yuan had gone far away.At the corner of the street, a blue-gray octopus slightly taller than him was waiting quietly. After the two met, they walked side by side into the distance.

Tini froze there, feeling lost.

"Tini, what are you doing?" a crisp voice asked.

Tini suddenly turned her head and looked at the pale pink Miss Papara with a smooth and lovely round head like an egg, her face flushed suddenly, and she seemed to have even lost the ability to speak in an instant.

Papara blinked, as if he understood something, and a more obvious smile appeared in his eyes.

……

"Where are we going?" asked Emerald, who also turned into a Bhikkhu star octopus in a mimetic suit.

"Go get what Pakko left for us."

"Traffic is all under control, all intersections and main roads are guarded, and they can also detect whether the mimetic clothing is activated. Three hours later, this block will be fully searched. There is no place to hide in the sky or under the earth. In a place where we have a 76% chance of being caught within five hours, and a 99.3% chance of being caught before dawn tomorrow." Emirida bit her lip and said tremblingly.She was terrified, and she was still able to walk, all because Rong Yuan was by her side.At this time, Emerida said with a bit of tears: "Rong Yuan, I can't think of a way to escape."

"There will be a way." Rong Yuan sounded very calm and full of confidence.

"What to do?" Emerald asked expectantly.

"Thinking." Rong Yuan said.
