Do not disturb the evil spirits [Unlimited]

After waking up from the dream, Si Qingxuan slowly opened his eyes.

It was darkness.

He found himself lying on the ground, the cold touch under his body seemed to be a stone brick floor.

Si Qingxuan sat up, turned his head, and saw the locked movie theater door again.But all those flowing, black mud-like things on the ground before were gone.The light moonlight shines through the window at the corner of the stairs, illuminating this small space.

Both Lin Chu and Zhaolin were there.One of them leaned against the wall and the other lay by the door.The breathing is steady, and the people who are sleeping are unconscious.

"..." Si Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and rubbed his forehead hair.

[Don't worry, High Priest.They have all gotten rid of the entanglement of the dream, but it will take some time to wake up. 】The system said, as if to comfort Si Qingxuan, 【You helped Zhaolin break the predicament in the dream, it is not surprising that he can wake up.But Lin Chu seems to have solved his nightmare smoothly... This is really rare.Hey, the aura on his body seems to have changed a bit...]

Si Qingxuan froze for a moment, waved his hand to summon the Illusion Library, turned to the pages of the catalog of believers, and glanced at Lin Chu's relevant records.

The shadow of the frame under Lin Chu's name is gradually fading away.The last words left were "hypnosis".

【Um?Is it actually a hypnotic talent? 】The system said with some surprise, 【No wonder he can wake up from the nightmare so quickly.With this kind of talent, his willpower is naturally higher than that of ordinary awakeners... However, judging from his situation, it is not the first day of awakening, and even the period of spiritual disorder has long passed.How is this going?How could he forget that he was an awakened one? 】

Combined with the particularity of Lin Chu's talent, Si Qingxuan also felt something strange.

But these can be asked slowly after Lin Chu wakes up.The most important thing is that people are okay.

Just as Si Qingxuan was talking to the system, a soft gasp suddenly sounded beside him.

Si Qingxuan turned his head and saw Zhaolin lying on the ground frowning slightly, and opened his eyes after a few breaths.

His thick eyelashes fluttered, and his obsidian-like deep and clear eyes were quietly staring directly at the ceiling, his expression seemed a little confused.

Si Qingxuan subconsciously wanted to ask "Are you okay", but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them abruptly.

After staying by Xiao Zhaolin's side for a long time, he has become accustomed to treating cubs with a gentle and accommodating attitude.

The Zhaolin in front of him - although he and Xiao Zhaolin were completely carved out of the same mold - but one size fits all!The two of them are completely different individuals!

Xiao Zhaolin can get Si Qingxuan's gentle care, but Zhaolin can't!

Si Qingxuan clicked his tongue softly, with a little dissatisfaction that he didn't even notice: why was he so... when he grew up, he wasn't cute at all!

And Zhao Lin, who was lying on the ground, still seemed to be in a trance state.

The messy memories in the dream suddenly flooded into his mind, and he needed some time to sort them out.

He blinked, subconsciously tilting his head.

There is a person sitting beside him.

The man had a pair of slender legs crossed, and his back was straight and beautiful. Just from his posture, he showed the elegance and a slight sense of distance in his bones.The long black hair was draped over the shoulders like smooth satin, and the fair side neck was as frosty as snow.

The ultramarine blue eyes reflected the dark light like jewels, gorgeous but alienated.

Zhao Lin subconsciously wanted to call out his name, but then his head sank, recalling all the memories in the dream.

"..." Zhao Lin was silent for a moment without opening his mouth.

"Are you awake? Get up by yourself when you wake up." Si Qingxuan said, "The matter hasn't been completely resolved yet, don't lie there and sleep all the time."

Zhao Lin pursed his lips, and finally revealed a soft smile.

"You came to save me in your dream?"

Si Qingxuan: "...I was involved accidentally, not deliberately to save you." But this explanation is really blunt, with Si Qingxuan's unnatural expression, of course Zhaolin will not believe it.

"Thank you." Zhao Lin smiled, the haze in his eyes was swept away, as if he had been reinvigorated, "Thank you for being so gentle to me at that time..."

The corners of Si Qingxuan's eyes twitched, and he raised his voice slightly: "In the dream, you are just a child. No matter how bad my character is, I can't vent my anger on a child, right?"

"I know." Zhao Lin nodded, "But, that nightmare was indeed born out of the darkest memory in my life. I thought I would forget about that experience at first, but I didn't expect to remember it so clearly in my dream..."

"It's just that my luck is not as good as that of the child in the dream." Zhaolin laughed with a somewhat self-deprecating tone, "That child waited for someone who called himself a devil but kept guarding him, but I didn't wait."

Day and night in the laboratory, he gritted his teeth and survived alone.

After a long while of silence, Si Qingxuan still couldn't let go of the child in the dream, and he asked, "How did you escape from the laboratory?"

"The development of the plot is similar to that in the dream." Zhao Lin raised his head and said calmly, "I got acquainted with the guard and the brainwashing operator in the laboratory. But the guard didn't read the brainwashing records. Discovered the fact that he had been brainwashed, but the brainwashing had failed on him... He recalled the most painful memories, was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and liberated the most terrifying subjects in the laboratory. I escaped in the chaos, On the way, I met the brainwashing operator. On the way to escape to the exit, I met the Disaster Prevention Bureau who was cleaning up the laboratory."

It sounds like it's actually a little more relaxed than the dream they just experienced?

"I was born in the laboratory, an experimental body created by them to fuse the hellfire. But because of a certain accident, I was lost outside, adopted by my parents, and raised as an ordinary child. When I was six years old , The laboratory found me and wanted to take me away by force, but my parents tried their best to stop them... The laboratory severely injured them, and my hellfire awakened at the same time. After an instant eruption, my surroundings turned into a cloud Scorched earth. My parents and the people in the laboratory died in the hell fire, and there was nothing left. But I was taken away in the end."

"...They named me, sent me to school, and gave me everything they could. My life is sustained by their presence. So, I don't mind my special 'birth' ’, but couldn’t let go of those who hurt my parents.”

"In the dream, you have been protecting me, not letting me lose control, not letting me kill people, not letting me make a decision that violates human conscience..." Zhao Lin said a little palely, "But in fact, I am in the laboratory. It got out of control, and more than once. Not only the senior management of the laboratory was killed by me, but also innocent people were implicated by me. On the way to escape, I killed the experimental subjects, killed the soldiers who tried to stop me, and killed those who came to me. The watchman who rushed over..."

"My parents always hoped that I would not lose myself because of hatred. But at that time, what I thought in my heart was definitely not just hatred. I still had fear in my heart, and the madness brought about by losing control, and the desire to survive— —In order to escape from that laboratory, I have already changed beyond recognition, and I am no longer the innocent and soft-hearted child I used to be."

"...That is to say, Qingxuan, the childhood me you saw in your dream was also fake. At that time, I was far less tenacious and intelligent than in the dream. I always hope that someone can pull me out of the abyss I was rescued from the abyss, and I hoped that when I walked out of the abyss, I would be clean and free from any ugly things—this was originally just my fantasy. But you have realized this dream that was destined to be impossible for me. I—”

"Stop!" Si Qingxuan finally couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't dare to listen any more, "Stop talking."

Zhaolin: "..."

"You've tried your best." Si Qingxuan said uncomfortably, "Anyone else can't do better than you."

Just blood on hands.It was already a miracle that Zhao Lin could walk out of that laboratory with all beard and tail in good health.

No wonder Zhaolin never mentioned this experience to Si Qingxuan.

But this also made Si Qingxuan clearly realize that Zhaolin didn't become the murderous look he is today because he suddenly became an awakened person and participated in various purge missions.Rather, this is the real him, but he has been hiding himself under the body of an ordinary person, and has not shown these special things.

This also makes sense, why did Zhaolin suddenly drop everything and leave.

In his eyes, living as an ordinary person for a few years is the few years he was lucky enough to deviate from his fate.Totally stolen, fake happiness.He was destined to be entangled with that weird world from birth.And if a real ordinary person is dragged into that world, the end will often be extremely miserable-his adoptive parents are a lesson from the past.

Si Qingxuan looked at Zhaolin with a complicated expression.Zhao Lin said that he didn't mind his background, but every time he mentioned related topics, he would show obvious self-loathing.

That does not work.

"I don't know what your adoptive parents expected of you back then." Si Qingxuan said.

Zhao Lin: "They want me to be a pianist."

"Don't interrupt me." Si Qingxuan looked pale, "Although I don't know what kind of people your adoptive parents are, they will definitely agree with what you are doing now - you have protected many people, saved Many people. They will not be disappointed with you now, on the contrary, they will be proud of you."

Zhao Lin didn't seem to expect Si Qingxuan to say such a thing.

He took a few deep breaths and managed to squeeze out a not-so-bitter smile.

"But I let you down." He said softly, with imperceptible fear and guilt, "Really?"
