sin of lumen

"This year's rainy season is longer than previous years. Affected by abnormal air pressure, the rainy weather is expected to last until the first ten days of November. Please pay attention to the safety of electricity use and..."

Lu Ting gradually woke up to the sound of the weather broadcast, and came out of another dream that he couldn't remember. There was nothing beside him, and he sat up.The light in the bedroom was rather dim, with a translucent light screen hanging in front of the bed. The announcer of SAR 1 had a mustache and was wrapped tightly in a light orange work suit, like a glossy frankfurter.In the three-dimensional cloud map he explained, the entire area of ​​Central America was buried under thick gray clouds.

There is also the faint sound of rain outside the window.Deng Mochi was standing by the window, and when he heard the movement, he turned around and looked over.

The chocolate black velvet nightgown on him was particularly vivid in the rain and fog, revealing the sharp collarbones - Lu Ting remembered that he put on the clothes for him last night.

"Morning." Deng Mochi said.

"Good morning——" Lu Ting squinted at the quartz dial on his wrist, it was not yet eight o'clock, and it was enough for him to pack up and go downstairs before 09:30, so he stretched out of bed, Dawdling to Deng Mochi's side.It was chilly between his legs, and the nightgown hanging on his body was light gray, dangling without even a belt.

Lu Ting realized that he forgot to put on his underwear.He also remembered how he was in the bathtub last night, leaning against Deng Mochi's arms to let someone wash his legs, his body was exhausted, and he still moved his hands dishonestly, trying to tickle him.He is not honest now, as soon as he stood still, he wrapped his arms around Deng Mochi's waist from the side, raised his face to his lips, and asked for a kiss.

Deng Mochi was obviously not used to this, so he turned his face away to look at the rain.

Lu Ting moved closer: "Just one click, anywhere is fine."

Deng Mochi finally lowered his eyelashes, stared at him for two seconds, then lowered his head, and touched the flushed cheek lightly.

Lu Ting laughed immediately, and returned a loud kiss, which was printed on Dun Mochi's thin lips. "My elder brother is really good. He didn't think it rained so much on the day of the wedding." He pressed his forehead to the glass and looked at the rainstorm outside the window.Under the gloomy sky, the water curtain is smoothly attached to the outer layer of the glass, like a continuously falling waterfall.Since he was in the sky, most of the crashing sound of the raindrops came from the roof of the building. It sounded light and light, not as violent as the few rains he experienced on the ground, but it was enough to darken the world.

"Will there be a flood?" Lu Ting suddenly felt bad.

"Already have." Deng Mochi still looked thoughtful.

"The younger brothers and sisters..." Lu Ting quickly opened the bracelet, "I'll ask someone to take them to Aldebaran."

"It's okay, I told them not to go out," Deng Mochi pressed Lu Ting's shoulder, "The drainage in the house has also been remodeled."

"Is there anything to eat?" Lu Ting was still worried.

Deng Mochi lightly pinched his cheek: "Didn't we save it together?"

Only then did Lu Ting recall that before he left for the special zone, he and Deng Mochi had purchased a lot of dry food, vegetables and fruits, as well as half-cooked meat products, filling the small refrigerator to the brim.He also taught R180 to make several secret sauces that he had figured out, but now he forgot all of them, and after sleeping like this, he fell asleep even more stupidly than before.

He embarrassedly touched the small piece that was pinched just now, and went to put on his clothes with red ears.Deng Mochi also went into the cloakroom with him, just a few hours after the lingering, Lu Ting secretly looked at the calm appearance of the man when he put on his shirt, and thought to himself why I couldn't be so calm.But he still walked up to Dun Mochi after he tied up his trousers, and tied him a perfect Windsor knot. The smooth tie was quietly folded and worn between his fingers, and the two looked at the same place quietly, Lu Ting suddenly found that silence is also a kind of enjoyment, he doesn't need to always find something to talk about, it's just that staying together like this is very comfortable.

Of course, this does not mean that he will get rid of his habit of talking in the future.

It was 25:[-] when they went downstairs, and the two met Lu Zhi at the corner of the stairs.Yesterday's pearl velvet commuter suit was replaced by a silk dress, lotus root pink, with wide sleeves and off-the-shoulder design, a thin belt hanging around the waist, decorated with feathers and a few sea beads.She was half leaning on the banister of the stairs and shouting: "Go straight, the innermost rotunda, the trouble will soon be too late!"

Lu Ting stepped forward to see that a snow-white grand piano, which should be a Steinway, was tied to an automatic flatbed trailer, surrounded by several workers and escorted carefully.

"Ceremony starts at 10:30?" he asked.

"Yeah, it's still messed up." Lu Zhi turned her head, stroked her curly hair and looked at the two people behind her. "Brother has gone to pick up the bride, and Dad and the others are coming soon."

Lu Ting blinked: "It's rare that you and Lu An don't quarrel."

"Hey, is your sister so fierce? She doesn't have much hatred, and she won't cooperate with her when she gets married." Lu Zhi pulled him up and walked downstairs together, "Well, I seem to smell something on my brother— —”

"Where is it?" Lu Ting pulled Deng Mochi's sleeve with his spare left hand.

"Marked? Temporary mark." Lu Zhi said with a sly smile.

"Yes, yes, just say that I have the owner." Lu Ting wanted to say this clearly, in a very proud tone, but in fact it was his blushing that was even more obvious and outrageous.After taking off a long hair that fell from Lu Zhi's arm, he changed the subject: "Sister, you look so nice today!"

Lu Zhi suddenly pushed him to the front, and walked slowly beside Deng Mochi: "Lu Ting told you, how old is he?"

Deng Mochi said: "Nineteen."

"It's actually eighteen!" Lu Zhi raised a finger, "He was born at 2081:4 pm on April 17, [-]."

Lu Ting was at a loss for words for a while, and walked back step by step on the red carpet. Facing the situation and the strange atmosphere, he felt that it would not work to bring out his own "false age theory". In fact, his idea itself It's also very simple, just want to appear mature and reliable.

But Deng Mochi just looked at him straight, nodded and said: "I see."

Looks like I'm in a good mood.

"Suddenly I became an adult, as if I was a child the day before." Lu Zhi took out the portable tablet from her handbag, opened it to Deng Mochi, "This is an elementary school, and he raised a bunch of silkworms on his hand to scare me. , As a result, several crawled into the sleeves. This is middle school. He ran to the mountains and said he was going to hunt, and returned home in a daze. He brought a rabbit that mutated into three ears, and it was still alive. Later, he raised several rabbits. This year! This is him practicing Sanda in the police academy, and he actually beat the teacher..."

Lu Ting really wants to find a way to get in. Unfortunately, he always leaves even more stupid photos at some very stupid moments. It is even more unfortunate that when the funny history is all seen, he walks backwards and is stupid. He bumped into someone, turned around and said sorry, but he didn't have the courage to turn back.

After hearing Lu Zhi's narration of those oolong incidents behind him, he asked, "Is it cute?"

Deng Mochi actually let out a "huh".

"It's just that he has dyed yellow hair now, he's just too capricious," Lu Zhi asked again, "Is black better?"

Deng Mochi said, "It depends on what he likes."

It was a matter of course, Lu Zhi laughed haha ​​when he heard it, as if he had received a perfect score, but Lu Ting pulled Deng Mochi back to his side with a dull head, and walked away quickly.

His cheeks were still hot, and he doubted that he would be able to return to normal until the ceremony began. It would be too inappropriate to play the wedding concerto to the newlyweds with a red face.

The matter of playing the piano was discussed a long time ago, and his father and sister brought it up together, and Lu Ting did not hesitate when he agreed.But now he has some regrets.His father arrived around ten past ten, and immediately afterward all the guests were seated.There are more than 40 round tables in the vaulted hall with sparkling water. Their family sat at the first table, and they also added a few close friends, such as Shu Rui, Deng Mochi, Lu Ting on one side, and Lu Ting on the other. On one side is him, and diagonally opposite is the main seat of the table - where Lu Bingyi and his wife are seated.

It's still too close, Lu Ting thought, although he only briefly introduced the greetings, chatted a few more words, and didn't ask any more questions, but his father was constantly observing Deng Mochi, and he could tell.He didn't want Deng Mochi to deal with the turbulent scrutiny of the table alone, but time waited for no one, Lu Zhi was next to him and grabbed his cuff, Lu Ting couldn't just sit still.

The Lu family is a harmonious family that pays attention to etiquette. The first song at the eldest son's wedding should be played by the younger brother who is both talented and beautiful.

Before leaving the table, Lu Ting glanced at Shu Rui, the man probably sensed it, and nodded his head.

Deng Mochi quietly took a sip of rose tea, watched Lu Ting walk towards the classical band on the side of the stage, stood still beside the grand piano, and bowed to the guests gracefully.The sound system surrounding the hall had stopped playing. As soon as he sat down, the violinist beside him began to play music. The stringed music poured out like water, followed by the minor key of the piano, interspersed with it.After the master of ceremonies announced the entry of the newcomers, they switched to a marching song.Everything is solemn and festive, the petals are sprinkled, the flower girl leads the way, a man and a woman walk through the arch made of lilies, and walk on the stage along the red carpet, Lu Ting's piano sound envelops them appropriately, When everyone cheered and focused on the ring and the kiss, Dun Mochi was looking at him.

The white peacock that was used as a decoration was still hovering in the air just now, and suddenly retracted its wings and tail, and landed on Lu Ting's shoulder, making him pause almost invisible, but the music did not get stuck for a second.

Like a cloud, but not light, the peacock seemed ready to hang on.

After applauding the elder son, Lu Bingyi didn't turn his head to continue chatting with his in-laws, but focused on Deng Mochi: "Haha, Xiao Deng has been watching the third son!"

Dun Mochi smiled: "He is very charming when he plays the piano."

Lu Bingyi looked at him intently: "Are you doing software engineering? Are you in Xiaorui's company?"

Deng Mochi still smiled lightly: "Yes. I plan to change jobs recently. I don't have much private time, so I often don't see each other."

Lu Bingyi laughed loudly: "That kid will definitely pester you. He says he misses you every day. He loved to pester me and his mother like this when I was a child."

Deng Mochi looked helpless and gentle.

Lu Zhi shouted: "Xiao Rui, do you hear me, why don't you give them more holidays?"

Shu Rui put down the e-cigarette and looked at the person next to him. His poker face and "I'm too lazy to care about you" expression were all suppressed by the glasses, and there was nothing left. A good-natured perfect boyfriend.

Do you still need to entrust it to me?He recalled Lu Ting's uneasiness when he got up, and thought, you are obviously looking for an acting school.

So he also said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I asked for leave last time. It was mysterious and said that I was going to pick out a ring for Lu Ting. When will I finish the matter? I will give you half a year's vacation and stay on with pay." , have a good honeymoon."

Hearing the word ring, everyone's expressions changed. Lu Zhi covered her mouth and gave Deng Mochi a thumbs up with her other hand under the table. Mother Lu also turned her face back, and took a careful look at Deng Mochi.

Deng Mochi thought that he basically kept his expression, and did not return to the previous rigidity - he has indeed learned how to smile recently, the kind that is neither fake nor fierce.But in fact, he has many doubts in his heart. Rings actually only appeared in his cognition today. In the environment he grew up in, the iron ring of a can, a piece of bent plastic plastic, and a few cents a piece Nuts...these could serve as rings, and rings, for all their purpose, were cheap decorations.

When an artificial person gets married, he will only go to the police station to scan the barcode on his neck, register for a legal union, and then apply for a birth permit, so as to avoid being executed by the patrol team according to regulations after giving birth.

No one gathers for dinner, and no one wears rings on their fingers that get in the way of work.

He went to see the peacock again.The tail feathers were slender and soft, and it was swept across Lu Ting's back. It was a big ball of unattractive pearly white, no different from the bride's veil, and it was even purer and more graceful.

Then the peacock flew away, the band's performance stopped, and Lu Ting stood up.The speeches by the parents of both parties were about to begin, and he successfully completed the task. When his sister-in-law's father stood on the podium, he had already walked around several round tables and returned to his place.

"How is it? My dad..." He leaned close to Deng Mochi's ear and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay." Deng Mochi squeezed his hand.

"I was so nervous just now!" Lu Ting took a sip of tea, rubbed against him, and moved the chair a little closer.

Deng Mochi stopped talking, his peripheral vision fell on Lu Bingyi calmly.An elegant and kind old man with gray hair all over his head and age spots on his neck. He has a lot of creases when he smiles. He looks much thinner than in the news. He likes to keep a certain distance from everyone.When he took the stage after his in-laws and started to give a speech, Deng Mochi stared directly at him.

"Boss," Lu Ting noticed something strange, and took his finger, "Is there any problem?"

"Your father probably didn't come." Dun Mochi said.

"What?" Lu Ting also stared at the stage.

"He's a fake," Deng Mochi said firmly, keeping his voice extremely low, "It's a projection, and there are almost no flaws."

"...No, why?" Lu Ting couldn't believe it, but he knew that Deng Mochi would never say nothing, "I can't see it at all."

"He didn't touch water or food, and others helped move the chair and the microphone," Deng Mochi explained. "Did you see the projection hole? It's about 75 degrees to the upper left of him."

Lu Ting knows that the holographic projection technology is the patent of his company, and it has reached its peak in recent years. It is so realistic that the shadow and the real person can only be distinguished by touch or infrared rays.By remotely controlling the levitation height and projection angle of the projection hole, users can precisely control the projection effect, and give timely feedback to the outside world with the corresponding viewing angle, and then project themselves back. Synchronize.

The projection hole itself is made extremely small, with a diameter of no more than a corn. At this distance, only Deng Mochi with extraordinary eyesight can see it clearly. Fortunately, after years of shooting training, Lu Ting also has a certain degree of vision. With the advantage and the hint of the angle at the same time, he narrowed his eyes and saw the small dot floating secretly above the head of his father who was speaking in a deep voice.

"Why is my dad like this... Where is he now?" Lu Ting muttered to himself.

Dun Mo remained silent, frowning coldly, as if in deep thought. Except for the sound of speech, the hall was surprisingly quiet, which made Lu Ting feel even more uncertain. He began to doubt the father he usually saw. The last time he met, Last time... which time was it true?Will there be fake ones?

Until a "click" broke into the ear, no matter how subtle, Lu Ting could distinguish it-it was the sound of a pistol being loaded.Not too close to him, not too far away.He subconsciously looked at He Zhensheng who was three tables away. He Zhensheng was holding a wine glass, and he was drowsy due to the speech, and did nothing.

Turning his head again, a bullet pierced through the air, hit his father between the eyebrows, and went straight through and nailed it to the flower wall behind him.But the father stood still, still saying his blessings, as if nothing had happened.

The hall could no longer be silent, and the commotion broke out in an instant, and some women and children began to cry.A large number of security guards rushed out from different corners, and the groom's officer also changed from triumphant to distraught in an instant, "No one can leave! Check it out for me!" He yelled at the ceremony stage.

Dun Mochi said: "He has already foreseen it."

Lu Ting's chest rose and fell: "That's why I didn't come."

After finishing speaking, he quickly ran down the stage and followed Lu An along the edge of the stage: "Someone is going to kill Dad!"

"Nonsense!" Lu An was annoyed.

"I'll check it out too. It's actually very dangerous for you to stand here now. Do you know if that person will fire a second shot?"

"I'll hit you with the second shot!" Lu An said fiercely, "If you're afraid, just stay away, go home quickly and don't get in the way of me." As he said that, he was about to go backstage with the secretary.

Lu Ting also yelled, and grabbed his wrist tightly: "I'm a policeman, or his son, why do I have to run when this kind of thing happens?"

"I've already called the regular police, so there's no need for you to make trouble! It would be nice to let you sit at the first table today," Lu An broke free irritably, and glared at him fiercely. Alpha's pungent leather smell rushed out, forcing In front of Lu Ting, "Do you understand, there is no place for you here, get out of here!"

Lu Ting's eyes were tearing when he heard it, he was stunned for a moment, and without another word, he ran back to the table with his head down.Both Shu Rui and Lu Zhi disappeared, and so did the rest of the guests, only Deng Mochi was still in place, waiting for him.

"Let's go." Lu Ting clasped his arms with both hands.

Dun Mochi got up, hugged him, and exited the hall through the side door together with him.After passing through the triple gate and reaching the accommodation area, no one stopped them, and the chaos passed through them.After simply packing up their luggage, the two went down to the hollow parking floor at the bottom of the hotel. Lu Ting threw the suitcase in the back cabin of Aldebaran-b, stood in front of the console and looked at the map. He still had his face down. Emotionally unstable.

"Where are you going? Go back to Aldebaran, boss."

"Want to go back?"

"……In no mood."

"But there's nowhere else to go." Lu Ting added hoarsely, "It's raining too much."

"I'm going to do something," Deng Mochi walked to his side, "If you want, you can come with me."

"Of course I would!" Lu Ting finally regained some energy, raised his head, and his eyes lit up, "Where are you going?"

"A black market," Deng Mochi withdrew his gaze from the gray rain, and skillfully entered the coordinates, "The Cube."

Lu Ting's heart was shocked, and he confirmed that he hadn't listened.He had heard this term before, and there was another more intuitive term called "Blood Rubik's Cube".In the classroom of the police academy and in the chats between teachers and students, it is an enduring object of discussion.

But everyone, including him, always thought that it only existed in legends.
