In the dream, he took the place of the young girl on the bamboo raft and became a sacrifice to the evil god, but in reality, everyone in the Ansel Company used a conspiracy to lure him here, hoping to silence him through the legend of the manor. His death is not a sacrifice.

He who is constantly wandering in dreams and reality, two completely different He Songming, two different ways of offering sacrifices, and two Catherine Sanchez with different identities, echoing from a distance.

The sky has been dark and cloudy, with heavy clouds covering the moon, and it will take another two days for the sun to come again.

After an unknown amount of time, Ruan Mobei took a deep breath and sneezed violently.

Is it freezing... He rubbed his nose and tightened his coat, which is a bit too brittle.

The drainage system of the manor was very good. It rained all day and night, and it was so heavy that there was not much water in the courtyard, which also made Ruan Mobei much less worried about whether the hibiscus tree would be damaged by water.

Unknowingly, he had been standing by the railing for more than two hours. Ruan Mobei's shoes were soaked by the rain that came in. He took two steps back. Even though he was wearing a coat, he still felt a little cold and planned to go back to drink some water.

After entering the password and pushing the door open as gently as possible, Ruan Mobei stepped in and found that He Songming was already awake.

The other party was sitting by the bed, and as soon as he looked up, the eyes of the two met.

"Where have you been?" He Songming asked, frowning slightly.

Ruan Mobei suddenly felt that the other party seemed to be waiting for his resentful wife at home, who was interrogating his husband who didn't come home all night.

Such waiting seems to have happened many times.

"I stood in the corridor, and the hibiscus flowers in the atrium were knocked off by the rain, which is a pity."

"Have you encountered anything strange?"

"No, it's pretty safe."

He Songming pretended to be pretty good, if he didn't know that he was responsible for those ghost phenomena, Ruan Mobei would have believed it.

"That's good." He Songming nodded. He watched Ruan Mobei drink a glass of water and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to go downstairs for dinner?"

"Let's go eat a little bit."

Ruan Mobei and He Songming went out together. As for those who wanted to harm him, Ruan Mobei didn't bother to care about them. If they liked to eat or not, even if they died, he had nothing to do with him.

The two made some food in the kitchen, communication and traffic were cut off, and no fresh ingredients were delivered. Fortunately, there were fewer and fewer living people left in the manor, and the food was still enough to eat, but it was not so top-notch fresh. That's all.

After a while, Lily and Jonathan also came down together, and the four of them had breakfast together.

"Want to play cards in our room?" Lily asked as she washed the dishes.

"Okay." Ruan Mobei put the clean knife and fork into the drawer, and readily agreed, it is really boring to stay in the room and wait for the dawn. If there are more people playing together, the time will pass much faster.

After clearing the table and tableware, the four of them returned to Lily and Jonathan's room. They sat around the table and played cards for a while.

He Songming didn't seem to know how to play, so Ruan Mobei taught him, and He Songming soon learned it, playing well.

Two hours later, Lily was a little tired, put down her cards, and said to Ruan Mobei, "Come with me to get something outside."

Your boyfriend is right next to you, want to go with me?Ruan Mobei subconsciously looked at Jonathan who was sitting next to her. The young man didn't respond and was waiting for He Songming to play a card.

Ruan Mobei immediately understood that the so-called taking things was just an excuse, Lily might want to talk to him alone, this was discussed with Jonathan.

"Okay." He stood up and followed Lily to the other side of the room. The two sat by Jonathan's bed, and Lily took a bottle of wine and placed it between them.

Ruan Mobei: "What's the point of calling me over?"

Lily took two more clean cups: "Let's ask each other questions."

"ask questions?"

"You ask me first, and then I ask you again. You can only ask one question at a time. The person who is asked the question must answer truthfully and not lie. If you want to keep silent, you must drink a glass of wine." Lily raised her vodka, "How? Dare to play?"

Ruan Mobei laughed, "There's no reason to dare."

Suddenly being involved in a supernatural event with him as the protagonist, Lily probably has a lot of questions, and Ruan Mobei is willing to answer those things that can be said for her.

It just so happened that he also had something he wanted to ask Lily.

"Draw the cards to decide who comes first."

"Ladies first, you come first."

"Then I'm welcome."

Lily thought for a while, and said, "When we met on the first day, you told me and Jonathan to be careful during the day, did you already know something?"

Ruan Mobei: "Well, no matter how well they act, I can vaguely feel how they treat me. I am the only employee in this group, and everyone else is a high-level employee, and they specialize in team building. It’s not right to choose a manor that has not installed an energy converter artificial sun when it is getting dark.”

"But you came anyway."

"I'm still here, so what if I'm a worker?"

Lily nodded in agreement, and it was Ruan Mobei's turn. He finally asked the biggest question that had troubled him all this time: "What do you and Jonathan do?"

"That's two questions."

"Well, what do you do?"

"I am studying for a Ph.D. in biology at Purdue University, and at the same time I am doing an internship at a biology research institute."

Institute of Biology?

Ruan Mobei was startled, and immediately thought of the first time he met Lily. In the story about the virus contamination in the inner world, she was wearing a white coat of the research institute, carrying a file folder, and took him to visit the laboratory building.

In the memory fragments, Lily took him to check his body.

Back then he still called Lily "Red."

Is there any connection between these three very different stories?

"It's my turn, what's your relationship with the foreman?"

"What's our relationship?" Ruan Mobei didn't expect her to ask this suddenly, turned to look at He Songming who was concentrating on playing cards, and said with a smile, "Of course it's friendship."

"But the way you get along is not like friends."

Lily lowered her voice, put one hand on her lips, and said treacherously: "Yesterday after you passed out in the church, the foreman rushed over immediately and was almost burned by the candle. After that, he kept holding you like that."

Lily made a horizontal hug, or...a princess hug.

Ruan Mobei was taken aback. This was different from He Songming's version. He clearly said that he returned to the room with his unconscious self on his back.

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true, why should I lie to you, otherwise I wouldn't have asked this in the second question." Seeing Ruan Mobei's uneasy look, Lily couldn't help asking again:

"Are you interested in him?"

"This is another question." Ruan Mobei was not fooled, he settled down and continued the question that was opened just now:

"What does Jonathan do?"

Lily: "He is a doctoral student with me. We are now working in the same research institute, but the supervisor is not the same, and the research direction is different."

so.Ruan Mobei probably understood, and also explained Jonathan's familiarity. If he knew Lily, he should also know Jonathan who works in the same research institute.

Lily: "Are you interested in the foreman?"

Ruan Mobei hesitated, and finally he took the whiskey aside and said, "Give me a glass."

"Oh!" Lily was quite disappointed, and handed the cup to Ruan Mobei, "What's the difference between your answer and your answer? Isn't it equivalent to acquiescence?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Ruan Mobei poured himself a full glass of whiskey and swallowed it in one gulp. The spicy wine flowed through the esophagus and fell into the stomach. The spicy Ruan Mobei's face wrinkled.

No matter how good he was, he never dared to drink whiskey like this before.

Seemingly noticing Ruan Mobei's movements, He Songming, who was playing cards with Jonathan, looked this way with worried eyes.

"He's looking at you." Lily reminded in a low voice.

"I know." Ruan Mobei put down his glass, "It's my turn."

Regarding the feelings in his heart, Ruan Mobei had already made up his mind that he would wait until a certain day to explain to He Songming himself, but first he would wake up the other party after collecting all the soul fragments.

There is no future possibility, even if it is given to him, he will not take it.

Stomach burning, Ruan Mobei asked his third question: "Have we met before?"

"You seem to say that when you strike up a conversation with a girl." Lily smiled, and she thought for a while, "Maybe, I saw that you looked familiar when we first met, and Jonathan said he felt the same way ...maybe we've met in another time and space? Who knows?"

The three of them... had indeed known each other before.

Ruan Mobei has more information than Lily. The scenes seen in the memory fragments should be true. The stories in the inner space have a certain probability and are related to reality. Lily’s occupation is the same in the three scenes, which is believable. The degree is also great.

She is a researcher in a special research institute, responsible for biology, and I have a good relationship with her, and I have done a full-body examination under her leadership.

His identity... what is it?

In the core story, all the uniforms in his locker were swallowed by the black room, could he be the same researcher?

Then how to explain his miraculous marksmanship?

A bit puzzled, Ruan Mobei put his doubts aside for the time being. Compared with the initial confusion, now he has guessed a lot of things. When he gets more clues, I believe that one day he will see the truth.

It was Lily's turn, and she seemed to have finished asking the questions she had prepared. Could it be that she dragged him here mysteriously just to ask about the initial reminder and his relationship with He Songming?

Ruan Mobei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Lily frowned and thought about it for a while, then slapped her hands: "Yes."

She looked very serious, staring at Ruan Mobei's eyes, those blue eyes were more serious than ever before:

"Do you know how many layers of approval it takes to submit an application report to the superior?"

Ruan Mobei:?

Application report?

"What?" He didn't understand what Lily was talking about for a while, submitting the application report?

Jonathan came over at this time and interrupted the quiz game between the two, "Have you been drinking?"

"No." Lily regained her smile and looked at Jonathan, as if the serious expression just now was an illusion of Ruan Mobei's nervousness.

"I had a drink." He Songming also came over, noticing the other party's slight frown, Ruan Mobei hurriedly added, "I drink very well, and I can't get drunk at this point."

"I hope. You've been lethargic recently. You'd better drink less." He Songming took the cup away from him, and Ruan Mobei felt a little uncomfortable being treated so caringly by He Songming in front of the couple. Ask: "Have you finished playing cards?"

"Well, it's getting late, let's go back and rest."

Ruan Mobei stood up, and the two said goodbye to Lily Jonathan and left their room.

It seems that since last night, I haven't seen Gui Lu again. Although I don't like the group of Ansel Company very much, Ruan Mobei still has a good feeling for Gui Lu. He went to the door of Gui Lu's room and tried to knock on it. knock on the door.

no respond.

out?Ruan Mobei had a bad feeling, he asked He Songming behind him: "Have you seen her recently?"

He Songming shook his head: "I haven't seen you since I had dinner yesterday."

Ruan Mobei's heart sank slowly, and the worst thoughts came to his mind. He took a deep breath and said, "Can you open the door?"

He Songming entered the universal password, and the password door unlocked with a tick, Ruan Mobei pushed the door in, and Gui Lu's room was empty.

The windows were closed properly, the quilts were neatly folded, the slippers were placed beside the bed, and there was still half a glass of water left on the bedside table, as if Guilu had just had something to do and went out temporarily.

She is gone.

The window glass was stained by the rain, and the book she was reading during the conversation at noon yesterday was still on the small table.

Ruan Mobei looked at He Songming, and the words echoed in his ears again——

Someone is avenging you.

Was it He Songming who did it?

Ruan Mobei couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, He Songming had done many things for him in secret, he was very moved, but when he thought of the originally beautiful and innocent star spirit because of his sinful hands, he...was terribly uncomfortable .

Ruan Mobei turned around and closed his eyes: "Let's go."

He Songming probably still doesn't know that he has discovered his true identity, Ruan Mobei looks normal and leaves Guilu's room.

There was a faint movement downstairs, as if someone had encountered something below, screaming and crying were entangled.

Ruan Mobei didn't bother to take care of it. Now that Gui Lu was gone, as long as Lily and Jonathan didn't have an accident, he didn't care what happened to the others.

Returning to the room with He Songming, Ruan Mobei took off his coat, and he wiped dry the socks that had been soaked while watching the rain in the corridor.

He took a shower and came back to lie down on the bed.

After being drenched in hot water and steaming, the stamina of that glass of whiskey quickly rose. Ruan Mobei's face was a little hot. He Songming noticed the unusual color on his cheeks, so he came to his bedside and touched it with his hand. Ruan Mobei's forehead.

Ruan Mobei accepted his touch obediently, and said softly: "I'm fine, I'm very awake."

"People who are drunk like to say that." There was a smile in He Songming's voice, the lights in the room were turned off, and the room was dark.

A flash of lightning pierced the sky like a sharp sword, the pure white light was fleeting, and then thunder rolled in, and the whole room seemed to shake with it.

He Songming sat gently beside his bed, which was an unprecedented approach for the foreman.

Ruan Mobei tried his best to open his eyes wide, trying to see He Songming's expression clearly in the dark, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and the sound of the rain outside gradually became less clear. He felt He Songming raised his hand, warm Palms covered his eyes.

The line of sight was blocked, and next, something soft seemed to touch his lips lightly.

"...Go to sleep, it will be over soon."

The deep and soft voice seemed to have magical power, and Ruan Mobei's consciousness began to drift away, passing through the cloudy sky, crossing the vast and boundless forest, flowing through the black and cold river, and came to the hollow cavity at the bottom.

He Songming was crouching beside him, waiting for him to wake up. On the back of a strong human body, there were strange-shaped limbs that should not appear at all.

Some of the blue lines drawn on his body were rubbed off. Ruan Mobei put on his robe again, and when he realized that he was awake, He Songming slowly got up.

He turned his face, and the golden pupils on the side face that first faced Ruan Mobei were ignorant, just like the innocent protoss back then.

But then the scarlet right eye that turned around suddenly made Ruan Mobei sober, and repeatedly warned himself not to be deceived by appearances. He smiled at He Songming, took the initiative to hold its hand, and passed his five fingers through its fingers.

He Songming looked down at the hands they held, and frowned.

The pool water is still relatively calm, and physical contact can indeed alleviate its confusion.

"Did you remember anything?" Ruan Mobei asked softly.

He Songming didn't speak, but his condition was better than the last time he gnawed like a dog like crazy. Ruan Mobei raised his hand tentatively, and gently stroked its head.

Its hair is no longer the silvery white that used to flow like moonlight, it may have been polluted by something, it has turned into a deep jet black, and it is much shorter, this look is what Ruan Mobei is most familiar with.

He Songming didn't respond at first, and let him stroke his hair. After a while, it seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly raised his arm, knocking Ruan Mobei's hand aside, not letting him touch it any more.

Protoss didn't allow him as a pet to touch his master's head before, and he lost all his memory, but he still remembered these things.

"Come on, the previous story is not over yet."

He picked up the associated crystal again, and while clasping fingers with He Songming, he continued to outline the scene he saw when he first landed on the planet.

Forests, swamps, shoals, coasts, hibernation cabins, and the color-pointed kittens with me.

"The planet is very curious about this life that has never been seen before. He needs to eat and drink clean fresh water to continue his life. Every once in a while he will hug the little furry thing, climb into the box, and fall into a short-lived life. deep sleep."

He Songming frowned, as if he was getting impatient again, Ruan Mobei hurried over and pressed a kiss on the corner of his lips, he paused for a moment, his lips moved down, slid across its chin and side neck, and finally stopped at shoulder socket.

He Songming reluctantly calmed down again, and Ruan Mobei seized the time to draw something with a fish head and a human body:

"The planet wants to get close to this human being, and it conjures a body according to the appearance of a human being and the fish he will eat."

"It shouldn't scare him that way, Planet thought."

When Ruan Mobei drew the murloc, he couldn't help but want to laugh. He still remembered the scene when he was so frightened that his heart stopped suddenly and he almost passed out in the dormant cabin. back to the ocean.

The outlines drawn with a few strokes seem to have awakened some relevant memories in He Songming. The pool of water behind him was rippling, and the splashed water fell on his ankles, making it a bit cool.

Ruan Mobei turned his head, and the monster with a fish head and a human body was struggling to climb to the shore.

It is about 1.8 meters high, and the place where the fish tail was originally was replaced by two long human legs. The whole body can only look up at the starry sky.

Ruan Mobei: ……………

"Take it back!"

Seeing you again, there is still not a little bit of shock that should have been.He Songming stared at Ruan Mobei's reaction, and the terrified expression finally made him relax a lot. Fear, he smelled his favorite fear again.

I really want to eat...

It licked the corner of its mouth, as if imagining what Ruan Mobei would taste like.

Ruan Mobei didn't notice He Songming's expression. He stood up and kicked the murloc struggling to get ashore back into the water.

Wow, the murloc fell into the deep pool, and after a brief fluctuation, the water surface calmed down. Ruan Mobei watched vigilantly for a while, and it probably wouldn't come up again.

Ruan Mobei breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but want to complain about He Songming, and worried that the other party didn't understand anything and acted on instinct, he took a few deep breaths, regained his expression management, and smiled: "Come on, let's continue." tell a story."

"Humans are terrified. The planet doesn't understand what's wrong. Does he not like it?"

"So the planet made a little change. It used a human body, and the part below the waist was transformed into a fish tail."

Ruan Mobei was drawing the appearance of the mermaid, but he didn't notice that from the beginning to the end, He Songming didn't even look at the lines he drew, and the other person's eyes were almost glued to him.

Ruan Mobei was even used to being thrown to the ground again.

Do you want to kiss or hug?

There was no fluctuation in his heart, He Songming sniffed his neck vigorously, no, not at all, the fearful aroma belonging to food was gone.

—Why are you not afraid?

Ruan Mobei took his hand and placed it on his chest. The beating frequency of his heart was clearly felt by his fingertips: "Remember? You once gave me a scale so that I could breathe freely underwater, and the scale grew at this place."

scales.

He Songming's pupils shrank sharply, almost forming a vertical line, like some kind of cold-blooded animal.

These two words brought back far more memories than Ruan Mobei imagined. The scales fell off bleakly, and the brand-new fish scales pulled out from the fish tail failed to save his dying life, so they were discarded on the shore without taking care of him. bloodline.

Years later, the protoss slept in the temple and felt the call from the scales.

It followed the induction from the scales to find it, and crossed this planet that has become completely different for hundreds of years. Many humans settled on it and civilization was established, but it didn't care about the huge changes that happened to its body.

In the magnificent manor, it saw a young girl running in the courtyard. The small glass bottle of the necklace on her chest was filled with blue-purple powder.

……is it you?

The information imprinted in the source of the star cluster once asked it: Do you know reincarnation?Maybe thousands of years later, we will meet again in another capacity.

It sank into the girl's dream, calling to her as best it could.

--Still remember me?We were once on this planet together, in my body, for you, I would like to bring more human beings here.
