Abyss

Fortunately, under Jiang Chao's insistence, the group of them did not stay in the villa for too long, but took some things and left that night.According to Jiang Xuanye, it was the same when Jiang Chao came back last time.Linqian later went to Jiang Chao's study to read it. Although he couldn't tell what was missing, it was obvious that a lot of things were missing. The previous "Cthulhu Mythos" was also missing.

Lin Qian didn't show up when Jiang Chao left, not because he didn't want to meet Jiang Chao, but because he was afraid of being seen by Yang Cuo.With Yang Cuo's attitude, I'm afraid he won't let him go easily when he sees him today, and it is very likely that Jiang Chao and Jiang Xuanye will be implicated.On the other hand, he had to remain free. Now that his face had been torn apart, he probably wouldn't be rescued by Jiang Xuanye as easily as last time.

He observed Jiang Chao from a distance. Apart from being supported by the person beside him when he was walking, he often subconsciously supported his right abdomen with his hand, which was obviously injured there.And this injury should be the "mutant No. 01" that Yang Cuo said, that is, the work of the mutant.Jiang Chao is already in his sixties this year, no younger than him, it doesn't matter if he bumps into each other.Although he didn't protect himself under Yang Cuo's pressure, Linqian still had to worry about him.

After they left, Linqian held a small meeting with Jiang Xuanye and the lighthouse.And nothing else, a short discussion about what I heard.

"Anyway, you'd better not stay here, it's too unsafe. Otherwise, let's go wandering around the world. The mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and everywhere is home." Jiang Xuanye said with some seriousness.Although he is usually rough, but he has a delicate mind. He has long seen that Yang Cuo can't just let Linqian go like this. Instead of waiting to escape passively, it is better to leave now, and he can still travel all the way, so uncomfortable.

Lin Qian glared at him, and said, "You carry the burden, I lead the horse, lingering to the end of the world?"

Jiang Xuanye shrugged his shoulders, "I listen to the second senior brother."

Lin Qian looked at the lighthouse again, "Is the world really like this now? How long can it last?"

Lighthouse still looked at him calmly, and said, "Less than a year. Of course, this number is still changing."

Lin Qian was silent for a long time.

He once saw a sentence on the Internet: You thought it was just an ordinary afternoon, but when you look back many years later, you find that it is a turning point in history.

Obviously, when he ran away from home at noon today, he was still a teenager, lonely, full of food alone, the whole family was not hungry, he had a stable job, no matter how much he asked for leave, he was still stable, young and vigorous , full of vigor.Being roommates with a god, but still dislike him for cooking like shit.But now, he had to face reality.

He doesn't want to be the savior who saves the world, he doesn't believe that he has this ability, compared to this, he wants to be saved by others, just like every time he is rescued by a lighthouse, there is a feeling of survival joy.But the choice he faces now is to either sacrifice himself to make everyone happy, or hide and let everyone die.

The lighthouse seemed to see his hesitation, "If you really don't want to do this, you can stick to your own decision. As I said, I won't force you. But even if the end of the world comes, you won't die with everyone, but Survive alone. That is to say, no matter what, you will stay and become the kindling of mankind in the next era. Your decision cannot affect me, nor can it affect yourself. What you affect is only other people in this world."

The lighthouse paused, then turned to Jiang Xuanye and said, "In order to prevent his evolution, I have to leave. The magician will come again, I hope you can protect him, because you are destined to be destroyed in the doomsday, and he will not .”

Jiang Xuanye nodded calmly, "Don't worry, I am invincible in the world. Also, I will not die, I must live longer than you."

Lighthouse said, "That's really hard work for you, after all, our starting point is different."

After all, he took a deep look at Lin Qian, but he didn't get a response.He couldn't figure it out, disappointed but stood up firmly, ready to leave.

"Why are you going?" Lin Qian asked suddenly.

Lighthouse froze.

"Give me a little time, and I'll go back with you after I finish dealing with the things around me."

Lighthouse's words reached the weakest part of his heart.Maybe he can really not be afraid of death, and hide in a corner to enjoy his last life, but how will he live in the unknowingly long days after the destruction of the world?It should be more painful than growing scales and turning into a humanoid loach.

Jiang Xuanye stood up suddenly, with an unbelievable expression on his face, "I said Haidilao, you are too fickle, right? Are you a woman? I just swore that I would protect you just now. You can't believe me ? Damn, I will protect you even if I risk my life!"

Lin Qian smiled and threw the antihypertensive medicine in his hand, "Did I say that I don't believe you? You are so emotional, I will leave this medicine to you."

Am I afraid you can't protect me?We have never been afraid since the day when we were surrounded by seven or eight senior students when we were young.I am afraid of losing you.

Linqian's popularity is very good, no matter male or female, they all have a good impression of this friendly and polite man, but in Linqian's heart, most of these people are under the same roof and have to socialize, only when they were young. Jiang Xuanye, who pissed on his ass and played with mud, was his friend.If one really had to die, Lin Qian would choose himself without hesitation.

Jiang Xuanye was a little bit unhappy, perhaps subconsciously, he had expected it. From this moment on, they took different paths.He curled his lips and sat back on the sofa again, hunching his shoulders, looking a little dejected.Lin Qian didn't know what to do, so he patted his head like a lighthouse touching himself, and comforted him, "As a brother, there is this life, but no afterlife."

Jiang Xuanye opened his hand, angry and funny.This is a line from the Young and Dangerous series that he insisted on dragging Linqian to watch together when he was a child. I still remember that at that time, I insisted on forcing Linqian and him to pretend to be the boss, and swaggeringly collected protection fees everywhere.

"Old Lin," Jiang Xuanye said suddenly and seriously, "If one day you really become a loach, come back to me, and I'll buy you a big fish tank and keep you! I'll find you a small female fish!" , suddenly grabbed Lin Qian's arm and bit it hard.

Lighthouse has quick hands and eyes, and with a tail, he threw Jiang Xuanye away, and pulled Linqian behind him. He didn't want to see anyone but himself leave a mark on him.

Jiang Xuanye was a little aggrieved and said, "I'll leave a tooth mark as a mark of mutual recognition in the future! Otherwise, if I don't recognize Haidilao someday, wouldn't I want to raise a black loach in a fish tank?"

When Lin Qian returned home, the smell of boiled shit hadn't dissipated, but he calmly disposed of those things together with the pot.In fact, he spent a lot of money on this pot, but now it seems that his life is almost lost, a pot is nothing.He stopped by Tianhai's house to have a look. The walls had already been repaired. The workers he found somewhere did the work very meticulously, and it was basically impossible to tell that it had been damaged.In his home, there are more than a dozen boxes of instant noodles and a lot of drinking water, and he probably got the news of the destruction of the world.

In fact, Linqian knew that it was useless to do so, there would be no eggs under the overturned nest, and the probability of such a tall building collapsing was almost [-]%.But this is the last determination of a father who wants to protect his daughter, so what can he say.

Li Mei didn't know what happened, she was still innocent and lively.When she came out of the room, she was still holding a cute kitten, the head and tail were gray-black stripes, and the body was indeed white. It was the one that Sakai often fed.Lin Qian casually asked, why not keep a dog?

Sakai replied on behalf of Limei, "Because humans don't deserve the loyalty of dogs."

The kitten also looked at him quietly, as if telling him, yes, that's it, it doesn't deserve it.

Lin Qian used this time to go to the unit and quit his job. After all, he will probably live in Jiang Xuanye's fish tank from now on. He can't be asked to move the fish tank to the local tax bureau. The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" can't handle it either.

When I arrived at the unit, I realized that he was not alone.The two colleagues in the unit who live in other places are not there. Only after asking about it did I know that I have taken a long vacation and went back to my hometown, and I have not been able to contact them recently.One of these two colleagues lives in Sichuan, and the other lives in Yunnan. They are both in the earthquake zone. They have a bad feeling before diving, and they can only pray that they are safe.

"I've heard people say that the celestial phenomena have changed recently, which is the prelude to the catastrophe. No, many people are scrambling to hoard food. Xiaolin, what do you mean? When was it not a false alarm at the end when they robbed food and salt? .Shenyang is a treasure land of geomantic omen, so the old ancestor’s vision of choosing the capital city could be wrong? By the way, why did you come to me?” Zhang Ju said a lot, and then remembered to ask something serious.

Lin Qian smiled awkwardly, "I'm here to resign and go home to grab food."

On the other side, Lighthouse went to meet Sakai, Limei secretly touched his tail, and praised his beautiful fishtail with excitement, Tianhai immediately carried him into the room and closed the door.

"Let the god of the gods come here, it seems that I really have a lot of face." Sakai smiled, showing two canine teeth.

The lighthouse said seriously, "I'm going back to the sea, I hope you will be more honest during this time."

"Tsk tsk, don't you want my life again? Last time we didn't know who is better." Sakai knew that he was not his opponent, but he still provoked wildly.

Lighthouse was unmoved, he just looked into his eyes calmly, and said, "Your life will be taken away sooner or later, but not now. You also have someone who wants to protect until the last moment, and you will never give up until death." The kind. I understand and feel the same way, so I will leave you to redeem your sins in this world for the time being."

After hearing these words, Sakai's exaggerated smile froze on his face, but there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes.

"Thanks," he said. "I try not to kill people, but if someone hurts my family, it's a different story."
