It hurts to touch me [Interstellar]

……

"From now on, are they? More than alike? My lord, he is Black Sandor."

Milo's voice seemed to be tinged with icicles.

Not only is he mercilessly uncovering the truth, but his dark eyes are obviously also forcing Li Ou to face something.

……

Heavy and firm footsteps kept approaching Leo, just like when they were on the aircraft not long ago, Milo didn't give anyone, including himself, a way out.

Li Ou felt that his throat was rolling hard, and even his breathing became stagnant. His lungs were like sealed balloons, and every movement brought a kind of suffocation.

Ernie... Star Calamity?

They? Are they saying, that? Wandering in the Black Sea, the giant black spiritual body that resembles a star beast... is the spiritual body of Black Sandor?

But I clearly remember...

and many more.

The spiritual body of Black Sandor...

What is coming?

……

In order to "help recall", Li Ou couldn't help but close his eyes tightly, trying to outline a "clear image" in the empty field of vision.

But in front of him there was only a blank like a black screen, maybe when he tried his best, some spots like snowflakes would appear, but—to no avail, not even a single outline appeared, he couldn't think of anything? Come?.

how could be?

Do you have dementia yourself?

Black Sandel's spiritual body, in my impression, I clearly remember it clearly and without dispute, so?...Shouldn't it be forgotten?

……Blank.

It's still blank.

……

Just when Li Ou tried his best to think back, this already destroyed treatment room entered a new, quiet and weird peace period.

But no matter how hard Leo tried, he couldn't remember the appearance and name of Black Sandor's spiritual body at all, as if that "thing" was completely erased from his mind at some point ?generally.

This is undoubtedly after the last Yeheya suicide incident, Li Ou once again found that his head might really be wrong? What's the problem.

Deep bewilderment and frustration, as well as the new and extremely serious problems before him, made Li Ou only order himself to temporarily abandon his memories.

Just a small problem.

It's just too tired, maybe after a day off, he can easily recall it tomorrow.

The eyelids seemed to be extremely heavy, and Li Ou slowly opened them? But his eyes only stayed on the debris-covered floor in front of his feet.

"Why did you say..." Li Ou couldn't help but paused, swallowed his saliva, and then continued, "You listened to his order and gave up everything? He... ordered? You? What?"

Liam could hear that Leo's voice was very soft and short, which was like a warning to Liam himself. He had worked in the special medical center for a long time, and now Leo's physical condition, every move , making the flame in Liam's heart seem to be constantly being extinguished by chichi, giving him a very bad premonition, even a faint sense of panic.

Liam then swallowed again? Everything.He really lost his dignity just now, and it was also the worst time since he was born.

But now that the words have been spoken, no matter who they are today, they can't hide anything from the leader.

"When the mass gradually gained the upper hand, people died one after another," Liam maintained a blank expression, so as to preserve his remaining dignity, "he... Black Sandor, since then, he often said something Just kidding. But these jokes are gradually no longer regarded as jokes."

"One year, there was a conjecture about the tyrant among the researchers, saying that the tyrant-level mental body might continue to 'exist' after breaking away from the conscious body, and even suggested that the reason why the tyrant's growth rate is astonishing is because It's been the first to reach ?that?level in high-dimensional space—sayings like that."

All of them listened in silence, obviously right now, Liam was the only one who knew.

At this moment, Li Ou was glad that the content of this part in his mind was still clear.He remembered what Celsa had said to himself when she was investigating Liam in Proxima—

The research topic of "Yam Scholar" is related to this so-called "guess". He travels around every year, chasing particle storms, and seems to be looking for evidence of the existence of a separate spiritual body...or? In other words, he is looking for death? Traces of a posthumous tyrant.

……

"A few years later, our numbers were dwindling. Black Sandor came to me and made a proposal that was completely outrageous." Liam had a slight sarcastic smile on his lips.

In an instant, Li Ou understood? This? What is the suggestion.

"He said: 'If your body continues to deteriorate, that day will come.' Even if there is only a slight possibility, have you come back? He said that he doesn't want you to be alone. He hopes that there will be someone else. I can take care of you."

"He said that he is already the 'favorite' of Mass, and he needs someone who can completely escape the threat of Mass..." Many years later, Liam's breathing couldn't help but quicken when he uttered the secret conversation at that time for the first time ?, it was at this moment that he realized that it was the starting point of his "bad luck".

"He stumbled across? My other? Identity, so this, in the end, 'Only I can do it'."

"I followed what he said...fake death? Leave, and after that, I just secretly observed other people. In the end, things continued to develop according to his ideas. The number of us became less and less. Even, who survived?, Who can't survive? He followed his decision!" Liam looked at Asland, and accidentally showed his hatred again, and his words seemed to be hinting at Leo.

A deep chill swept over? Li Ou, he didn't believe this kind of nonsense at all: "He decides who lives and who doesn't??"

Li Ou sneered lowly: "Are you guys playing house behind my back? If it was that easy, he could beat Mass with his calculations alone."

"But he did it?" Liam forced himself to look away from the frozen Asland, "He must have asked other people to protect the chosen one to survive at a critical moment?! In other words, He self-righteously chose? Let the 'innocents?' survive!"

"Oh," Leysen said, although his face was pale, but he still said, "From just now, you've been talking about crazy things, do you want to? Say, old... Black Sandor chose? We? Four? Survived ?, so we? can survive??!"

Liam glanced at Layson lightly, and the eyes that thought he was insignificant immediately angered Layson, Layson's chest heaved heavily, and he said viciously: "What is an innocent? Yes? Is even one person innocent?!"

"Yes, that's a nice way of saying it," Liam said disgustedly, "There are no? What so-called innocents? He just chose? The weakest and most useless people in the group to let you? Survive ? That's all!"

"How dare you say that..." Leysen's fists bulged with veins, and his uncontrollable mental strength began to spread in the air, "You said he saved me...just because you think I'm too weak? Need everyone's protection??!! Are you kidding me?!!!"

Clayson's anger may be able to calm down ordinary people, but in Liam's eyes, it's like a child spitting, and it will only get him? His disdain.

"I have? Am I wrong?" Liam smiled again at this moment, but that smile was more maddening than any expression before. His eyes swept over the stiff body like a stone. Milo, Osmani who became expressionless, and Yehya, whose face was full of tears unconsciously, looked like a domestic pet who had just been beaten, and said with blood in every word: "A? The big noble young master, who can only lose his temper all day long; one? is born with a mental illness and can only be used as a war machine; one? , even to his own leader..."

His words were like the deadliest attack. Leo saw that the faces of all the people in the room changed in the blink of an eye. Milo quickly stopped Osmani again, but this time he failed. Not even Leo? See clearly, in the next second, with the loud noise, Osmani has been slammed to the ground by Liam, and a thin cold weapon has cut through Osmani's neck skin.

"...Like I said, four? Undoubtedly useless. But please be grateful. You survived because of your weakness, and... you? It is at the farthest position from him." Liam said maliciously: "Understood? Did Black Sandor choose? The person with the least threat survived? He must know that when he comes back? , none of those left can shake his position, and I...have lost the trust of my leader—who knows us...all of us."

There was silence in the room, and everyone looked like they were about to collapse. At this moment, Asland spoke. His soft voice was more dignified than usual, but his eyes were clear. , his complexion has recovered a bit, and the sound seems to bring a bit of warmth to the space in front of him.

"Assuming your words are true, there is...a problem—the person you mentioned, you all say, is me—but I'm not." After simply denying it, Asland said: "I didn't go to the front until I was ten or nineteen years old. I remember the news that Leo and White Deathstroke died together. I also have memories from birth to separation. You can't say it's because of my mental body and... Black Sandor If our mental bodies are similar, it means we are the same person."

"And I'm not ignorant. Black Sandor's spiritual body 'Ernie Star Calamity' was indeed very powerful back then, but he...wasn't a tyrant, didn't you say that only? Is it? If the level of the tyrant is the same? If you can easily decide when to upgrade, then everyone can choose to become a tyrant? "

Liam didn't buy it: "The spiritual body is originally in a high-dimensional space. For a higher dimension, time and space have no meaning, or, in other words, the way they treat 'time', and Ours is completely different."

Then, Liam seemed to be amused by Asland's sophistry? He said sarcastically: "Even if you really don't remember? It's okay, you are the evidence. Asland, your character , the way you speak, your every move - they are all very similar to that? Man! Otherwise, how could you attract his attention?"

"No..." Li Ou instinctively denied, "Asland is still a..."

"What is it?" Liam felt sympathetic: "Don't tell me—he's a kid? My lord! Straight-talking? Innocent and enthusiastic? Laughing all the time because of some little things. Non-stop? Black Sandel—isn’t he just such a ‘young man’?! The result??! You should wake up?!!”

Yehya not far away suddenly moved at this moment, hooked Liam's neck, and the latter almost flew into the air.

Who? I haven't seen it. Yehya looked crazy at the moment. With a bang, he smashed the console with Liam's body and grabbed Liam's neck. His men were still there. Using force over and over again——

"You are not allowed...to say that!!"

Liam's face gradually turned red and deepened, but even so, he could still smile?

"That's right...you are the real...sinner...Yehya—you killed your own leader, but you still have the face to live..."

Yehya's spirit was clearly on the verge of becoming truly insane. He really wanted to kill Liam, but Liam was enjoying Yehya's madness and embarrassment, and let out a whooping laugh.

Suddenly, a pale hand gently grabbed Yehya.

"alright?……"

A weak, indifferent and hoarse voice sounded.

"I already know?... Yehya, let him go."

Hearing his own name, Yehya trembled all over. After a few seconds of stalemate, he slowly and little by little let go of his cramped fingers.

Liam stroked his neck instinctively, coughed in a suppressed low voice, and at the same time staggered and fell to the ground. When his cough gradually became quieter, his expression also became indifferent. It seems that even if it is finished happily? Everything, or? Nothing? What does it mean.

……

"I... failed to give you guys enough confidence to win to the end."

Hearing Leo's voice, Liam froze, staring at the messy ground motionless.

"...So, if you want to say that you are weak, the one who is really weak is actually me."

When he finally said these words, Li Ou breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

It seems that today is destined to be a day to vent emotions, and confession? Seems like it will become a habit, after all, he has already said it to Milo? There are so many things that should not be said, so it should be okay to say more now? Nothing.

"At that time, Yehya did something to me, didn't he? Was it influenced by my pheromones—how could the ethnic group go against the leader's will?"

"... Liam, you are an excellent ethnic group. I am very grateful for what you have done for the survival of the ethnic group by sacrificing yourself. I can't imagine how you feel these years, also? I dare not imagine... If I hadn't come back, how would you live your life."

"Also?...Leyson, have I already said it?...Black Sandor, he chose to save you, I have no doubts about this—you are worth it, he is right to do so, what would you do instead? I would have made the same decision."

"You're all the same, you're surviving? - if it's true that someone else? made? this? decision without telling you - and they? "Myself, is it really because you need extra protection?"

"At least in my memory, there shouldn't be any mistakes in this... Others trust you wholeheartedly and would like you to be their backing. Perhaps the reason you "survived" is really simple, because You're all...family members of the same...ethnic group."

Standing here and saying these things has already consumed? Li Ou's remaining physical strength. In the end, he said what he had been holding back in his heart for two lifetimes and wanted to say the most.It is also at this moment that Li Ou is not only saying to other people, but also pouring out to the cross in his heart:

"...Because of my incompetence, I failed to continue my ethnic group. This is my greatest pain and regret at the moment of my death."

Excuse me?, I... still become? a? interstellar.

【drop----】

A piercing voice suddenly sounded from the terminal on Li Ou's wrist?.

Li Ou couldn't help but fell down? Go down.

……

at last.

When all the voices drifted away again, Li Ou thought about it.

He has completed the final confession, and the next thing is to be handed over to the new tyrant...to Asland, no matter who he is, and no matter what happens, he will be the shopkeeper ?.

Now, he can really rest? Right?

Never come back again?.

It's just that his pension plan...

Harm, forget it?, pure cranky thinking?.

……

Just before his eyes were about to close, Leo saw Asland's red eyes.

The first pair of warm, brown, penetrating, and smiling eyes were looking at him with tearing canthus, shaking him.

Leo laughed?

Asland stopped his movements stiffly.

No? When did Li Ou feel so relaxed and happy like now.

The whole body is light and fluttering.

This put him in a great mood, and he couldn't even hold back. He looked more? Asland took a second look and found——

I rub it, it really looks like it.

At this moment of lightest body and mind, more and more thoughts and memories emerged, some of which, Li Ou found, he had indeed forgotten for a while.

is it?

Asland... Ash, could it be him?

Li Ou thought in a daze?

If true, that would be... great?.

— Ah, no wonder.

So? When I firmly refused to admit it, I really...

Want to? His.

……

……

……

dark.

……

……

……

The darkness didn't last long.

Li Ou just couldn't feel anything from the outside world anymore, and soon, a soft light appeared in front of his eyes.

Then there was a soft and gentle breeze again.

He felt stiff all over, and when he finally opened his eyes, he looked in front of him and then at himself—it turned out that he was wearing a stiff officer's uniform.

And the surrounding scenes have now become completely clear?

The patterned red bricks with weeds growing in the gaps paved an open space overgrown with wild flowers.

The mottled ancient walls with air leaks on all sides, the dilapidated wooden doors that couldn’t be closed, when he couldn’t help but raise his face to bask in the sun, he squinted and saw the big clock barely hanging between the thick walls on the wall——

Ah, this is the place.

It seems that there are really gods, gods, and heavens in the world? ?

It's just that before he died, he thought about retirement, so he was sent directly to the retirement place, which is really considerate.

Planet 507?

Li Ou has completely remembered it.

Suddenly, he looked into the distance—beside the broken wall of the ancient bell tower, there was a vast forest.

Li Ou stared blankly for a while, and for some reason, his stomach was growling.

Uh……

There, have you seen it before? Some plants that seem to be spices.

I don't know if I can take advantage of it now?

BBQ?

Will there be?

All kinds of stew?

Will there be? ?

No? That's okay...anything is fine as long as it's not mashed potatoes.

……
