doomsday beta

When Fang Zhou woke up, he was alone in the room.

Just because it rained and went back in the howling cold wind, can you develop a high fever?Fang Zhou thought about it, but he could only think that it was because he was old and in poor health.

The huge bedroom is extremely empty.

Fang Zhou got up and got out of bed, and the nanny machine brought the slippers to his feet.

After washing up in the bathroom, the mirror reflected his clean face, which looked not much different from his early twenties, except that his complexion was a little duller, and when he bent his eyes, there were fine lines at the corners of his eyes.

After all, he is also a 30-year-old middle-aged man.

From the age of 30, Ark was left in the capital by the ruler and received the best care.

Every day at two o'clock and one line, go back to work and go home, and completely cut off contact with other human beings.

He became a shadow that always accompanied the ruler.

Wei Daofu compulsively kept him by his side, even if he yawned boredly, even in a serious meeting hall.

This state lasted for ten years, and rumors about the Ark and the ruler were uploaded on the Star Network.

At the beginning there was an uproar and half-belief, but now even if the citizens are unwilling to admit that the high-ranking majesty actually has a heart for an ordinary and small human being, they can only see the familiar human not far away from the image of the ruler again and again .

From the outrageous remonstrance at the beginning, to now turning a blind eye and turning a blind eye to being too lazy to pay attention to it, many people have deluded themselves and regarded the Ark as a ball of air.

As if in this way, they will not tarnish their immaculate image, and can only say a few bitter words in private:

"Human beings will only live a hundred years if they die, who can't afford to wait? His Majesty will forget him sooner or later!"

"What's the use of being a hundred years old? Human beings will age! He is only 40 years old now, and he also has two or three forehead lines on his forehead, and occasionally a few half-black and half-white hairs. If you look at it in a few decades, his head is full of white hair." , lost teeth, wrinkled skin, shriveled and hunchbacked, staggering on a stick when walking, one more look is enough, how can Your Majesty bear him?"

Of course, that is to say in private.

Who doesn't know that the administrator is particularly partial to this human being. At the beginning, the rumors were fierce, and many ugly posts disappeared on the vast star network as soon as they were posted. Later, there were too many discussions, using various code names, code words, abbreviations, and deleting them all. But later, the administrators who pretended to be self-serving public servants arrested a group of citizens to make an example of others, and the comments scolding Fang Zhou on Xingwang decreased a lot.

But this also became the crime that Ark was reprimanded for.

It is obvious that he has been pitied by His Majesty, not only is he not grateful to Dade, but he is also entangled with a conspirator who intends to usurp the throne. Isn't this the face of His Majesty?

I saw Jiang Cheng again when Fang Zhou was 40 years old.

Even if this man arrives in a new world and falls to the bottom, there are always ways to get out of the predicament.

Now, somehow, he has hooked up with little Noah, and under its black-box operation, he has become David's new secretary.

Walking all the way into the meeting hall, Jiang Cheng received cold looks from many members of the council, obviously treating him as an offender of the administrator family.

Jiang Cheng did not have time to win Wei Daofu's trust. From the beginning to the end of the discussion, Wei Daofu did not pay attention to the secretary newly assigned to him.

Jiang Cheng was not in a hurry to express himself, and An An fulfilled his duties until everything was over and the door of the meeting hall was reopened——Jiang Cheng glanced at the ark that was leaving, and called to stop Wei Daofu who was walking in front.

"You are as honorable as Your Majesty. Your life can be equal to that of the universe, but the lifespan of human beings is only a short hundred years. You can spend it forever, but the ark has no time to spend it with you. I hope your majesty will carefully consider: how to install the ark?"

Davido naturally wanted to keep Ark by his side, at a close distance where he could easily take Ark's life within his reach.

There is no need to endure the torment of "missing" and the desire to "own".

But Fang Zhou was naturally unwilling.

From 40 to 50 years old, over half a century old, with gray temples;

From 50 to 60 years old, people to sixty years old, wrinkled face;

Year after year, Ark became thinner and thinner until he was as thin as a stick; he also gradually became shorter and stooped; later on, he walked more and more slowly, and if he accidentally fell, he couldn't get up for a long time... At the age of 70 and 80, he has changed from a young man to an octogenarian. Every year, David will ask him:

【You still don't want to stay with me? 】

Ark's answer was the same as before.

"I don't want to."

At the end of the reduction plan, Wei Daofu had just "rewarded" the winner of the new season of "Noah's Ark", and the switching camera moved away not long after.

The two faced each other and continued to eat.

Wade cuts the bloody steak slowly, and Ark eats digestible food, and eats slowly.

After little Noah announced that he was waiting to return to Earth, the spoon that Ark raised to his mouth had stopped for a long time.

After several seconds of silence, he put the spoon and porridge back into the bowl.

Wei Daofu's cutting movement paused, staring at the blood on the blade, also silent.The blade reflected his stern eyebrows, his eyebrows were lowered, his eyelids were half drooped, and there was a feeling of oppression about a storm.

"Ding!" With a sound, he put down the knife and smashed it against the edge of the crisp plate.

【Last time to ask you—】

【stay,】

[Or leave? 】

Wei Daofu did not raise his head, but he thought his expression was not very good at this time.

Fang Zhou saw that his finger holding the knife was accidentally scratched, and bright red blood that was no different from human beings gushed out, but Wei Daofu didn't notice it, just stared at the bloody edge, wondering what was he thinking?

Fang Zhou did not directly refuse this time, but said:

“The difference between humans and machines is that they have emotions.”

"And human beings have a feeling called nostalgia."

"Falling leaves, return to the roots."

"No matter how many times you ask me, I have only one answer: I want to go home."

Weidolf raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him.

In his mind, after awakening his memory, he saw Ark walking in front of him alive.

But in reality, Fang Zhou is no longer young.

The brows and eyes are vaguely still the cold look they used to be, but the corners of the eyes and the brows have been buried deep by time.

The detonators of time are hidden in these ravines.

It's like he watched Fang Zhou's hair change from black to snow white, and the fading pigment was like his gradually fading vitality.

Occasionally, when he looked at that head of white hair, he felt that their roots were not stuck in the skin, but in the blood vessels, and every bit of white hair was sucking the blood of Fang Zhou and his health.

It is, annoyingly, a bit glaring.

【All right. 】

Davidoff said:

【you win! 】

Spending long hours watching the frail human life slip through his fingers - in the end, he could neither kill him nor keep him.

At this moment, Wei Daofu felt very clearly that he actually had an indescribable emotion towards Ark.

Searching the past and looking for similar references, Weidolf found that he no longer hated the existence of the Ark.

only……

He didn't know when it started, but he actually "hated" him a little bit.

hatred?

How wonderful!
