The midsummer wind blows across the golden wheat fields, bringing a burst of dry heat.Eugene and Shaw walked side by side on the way to Sanqi's residence, leaving the banquet and cheers behind them.

Before that, Eugene looked at the two young brides with their arms intertwined and drank champagne with a smile from a long distance.Behind him, Shaw put his lips next to his ear and spoke to him in a low voice.

- You don't need to worry about things that haven't happened yet.

——If that day does come, I will take responsibility together with you.

——Before then, you can try to be an ordinary person.

In the shadow of the oak tree, Eugene nodded slowly.

If he looks back at this time, he may find that his past self is covered with blood and wounds, looking at him with admiration—when he degenerates into a selfish and contemptible person, he is more uncompromising than before, Anyone who gives infinitely is happier.

But Eugene refused to let the irony sting him.

He has people to care for and things to protect.So no matter how much he doubts himself, he still has to keep going.

……

After walking under the bright sun for more than an hour, the steaming heat around the two of them had already turned into fine sweat on the tips of their noses and foreheads.Eugene checked the road sign in front of him and the address on the terminal, and finally set his sights on a house connected to the ranch at the end of his field of vision.With his good eyesight, he saw at a glance that the left wing of the house was opened up to the upper and lower floors, and it was full of mechanical equipment and instruments that almost touched the ceiling.

Not surprisingly, this very luxurious farmhouse is the residence of the craftsman Sanqi.

He and Shaw came to the door of the house and rang the doorbell.Not long after, the door was slowly opened from the inside, but it was only opened less than two palms away.Appearing from behind the door was a woman about five or sixty years old, with slightly gray temples, holding the door with one hand, looking at them with wary eyes.

Eugene put on a decent smile, and after a brief self-introduction, explained his purpose of coming.The woman was probably used to seeing Sang Qi's visitors, and she didn't have any unexpected expression on her face, she just responded indifferently: "You are late. Mister can't see guests anymore."

It is not yet three o'clock in the afternoon, so it should not be the time for the craftsmen to rest.However, Sanqi's eccentricity was notorious, and Eugene quickly expressed his understanding: "When is the next time he sees a guest? We can wait forever."

The woman frowned: "You can't wait anymore. Mr. will never see guests again."

Eugene allowed himself to be politely confused, to show that he hadn't caught the meaning of the sentence.The woman sighed helplessly, relaxing her tight shoulders.

"……He passed away."

For a moment, Eugene really thought that the woman was deceiving him—they got San Qi’s address only yesterday, judging from the accuracy of the Shatas black market network, just yesterday, San Qi should have accurately Live here.However, the woman's next sentence quickly blocked his doubts, because she said: "It happened four or ten minutes ago. You guys... it's unlucky to be in time."

——Sang Qi is over 30 this year, and he should be able to live another 70 to [-] years in the league.But in Sagrand, [-] years old is already considered the average life expectancy. Judging by the appearance of the woman, this craftsman should have died a natural death at the end of his lifespan.Out of etiquette, it was difficult for Eugene to ask the other party if he knew any other craftsmen, but hastily expressed his condolences to the other party sincerely, and apologized for his untimely visit.

Perhaps it was such an appropriate approach that softened the woman's attitude. She let go of the hand holding the door and shook her head: "Given his condition and age, he has already borrowed his life from God for the past few years." , nothing to be sad about. If you really need help, his disciples will come here to attend his funeral later, you can ask them at that time. It’s just a matter of these few days, if you don’t mind, just wait .”

Speaking of this, even Eugene would like to lament the woman's patience and good temper.Just as they were about to turn around and say goodbye after thanking them, there was a loud sound of horseshoes coming from the main road behind them.Eugene looked back, and was surprised to find a carriage approaching here.The two black horses running have mechanical lower limbs, and the car behind the driver is all black, short and slender.

——This is a coffin carriage specially used by the funeral industry to transport the dead.

"It's finally here, it's summer... But with his current state, there shouldn't be any problem." The old woman murmured in a low voice, as if she was talking to herself.Seeing that Eugene and Eugene hadn't walked far away, she looked over with a somewhat apologetic look: "It's always a bit unlucky to see this kind of thing, please come back quickly, we have to move the corpse out."

The people of the funeral home drove the carriage to the door, and the rectangular car opened from the side, revealing a solid wooden coffin with one side baffle down.The person who came was a middle-aged man, and he greeted the woman while walking up the porch.

"Sorry, I'm late. I came out just in time for another business, a wedding in town."

Eugene frowned when he heard the words, but the woman answered the words naturally: "Why is it such an unlucky coincidence? If you want to hurry there, have you also taken medicine?"

"Yes, it's an old lady. She should also know that the time is coming, but today it seems that her daughter got married, and she didn't tell others. It is also for this reason that she was not tied up when the attack occurred. When I passed, the scene There were probably four or five people who got scratched."

Such a conversation sounded weird, and Eugene had already walked down the steps under the eaves, but he couldn't help but look behind him.

"Fortunately, sir was still sober before he left. He tied himself up..." the woman said so, and finally stepped aside to open the door she had been blocking.

Behind the wide open door is a long hall with warm and bright decoration.The retro crystal chandelier is also turned on during the day, almost luxuriously competing with the dazzling sunlight outside the window.A walnut armchair was placed directly under the chandelier, which Eugene saw clearly at a glance.

—On that armchair, there was a dead body tied up impressively.

That one was a thin and yellowed old mummy, leaning forward with a grim expression.His movements seemed to be screaming, and his mouth was wide open, showing dry gums and teeth that were too long due to gum recession.His legs and hands were tied to the armrests and stool legs of the chair, and his long nails made deep scratches on the armrests.From the chips planed off the wooden surface, one can clearly imagine how hard the man had struggled.

But it was the eyes of this mummy that made Eugene feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

There were no irises in those open eyes, just a patch of red.

...Xiao watched as Eugene's face paled quickly, as if someone stabbed him in the chest, he bent down tremblingly.He was familiar with Eugene's reaction—on the Rift, when he first met Zane, Eugene had a similar situation.

That time, it was Zane's appearance that resembled No. 6 that triggered Eugene's stress, but this time, did the trigger point come from a mummy?

Before he could clarify his guess, Xiao had pulled Eugene aside.While Eugene was kneeling on the ground, Xiao also knelt down and opened his arms, wrapping him in his arms.He held the back of Eugene's head with his right hand, and pressed him against his chest.

Before Eugene asked, he isolated the other's senses from the surroundings as much as possible.

Xiao could feel the trembling on Eugene's body, and he could also feel the other party's hand pinching his waist hard.The latter eased Xiao Xuan's heart a little. After all, as long as Eugene was still touching him, it meant that Eugene hadn't fallen into the situation where he needed to rely on gestures to avoid collapse like last time.

"resemble……"

Feel sorry.Eugene wanted to say so.His sanity was still there, but his body reacted spontaneously when he saw this scene.After all, compared to No. 6 in his hallucination, what he is facing now is a deeper shadow—when he sees No. 6, even if he is reminded of his deep sins and guilt over and over again, No. 6 itself It was a sweet dream he couldn't keep.

...This mummy is different.It simply represented the night the world took Number Six from him.

"No need to explain, let's talk about it when we go back." Xiao patted the back of Eugene's head lightly, with a low and gentle voice.Seeing Eugene struggling to adjust his breathing in his arms, the false organ in Xiao's chest was struggling with pain that shouldn't exist.

There was a soft, comforting sound between the thin pale lips of the cyborg.The face, which was obviously so cold that it was almost heartless, was corroded by the expression in those eyes and was full of warmth.Like comforting a wounded animal, Xiao lowered his eyes and stroked Eugene's back slowly and firmly.

After Eugene's breathing finally passed the chaotic peak, Xiao clenched his teeth and said in a tone as calm as possible: "I need to leave for a few minutes, can I? I'll be right back."

Just as he was speaking, Xiao was ready to distance himself from Eugene.Feeling the heat and strength of embracing him quickly leaving, Eugene stretched out his hand subconsciously.

--Do not.

--stay.

- don't leave me alone...

With great fear, he looked up towards Xiao's direction, but his vision was covered by a soft white.

... It was Xiao who took off the shirt he was wearing as a thin coat and put it on him.

Because of his low body temperature and to cover up the abnormality of his left arm, Xiao always wears a coat over his short summer suit.And now this white shirt temporarily replaced Xiao, blocking everything from the outside world for him.

It was obviously a weightless fabric, but it became Eugene's fortress at this moment.

The sun shone in through the shirt, bringing loose warmth.In the sense of security left by his lover, Eugene uttered a sentence that had been delayed for too long.

"...I'll wait for your return."

The author has something to say: The article has been revised on December 12.
