sin of lumen

Lu Ting regained consciousness at a certain moment, he thought, I am dead.But he could still open his eyes. The first thing he met was the bright white light, which made his entire optic nerve sore for a while, and his eyes and mind were blurred. When he heard someone calling his name, he gradually lost consciousness. People can see clearly.

It was Lu Zhi, not wearing a white coat, but wearing medical gloves, helping him change the infusion bag.

A few more seconds passed, and Lu Ting saw the familiar furnishings, his emerald green plush rocking chair, the old-fashioned speakers that filled the wall, and the imitation cuckoo he kept in the stopped quartz clock.Unexpectedly, he was lying at home, on his own bed.It wasn't Aldebaran, it wasn't his round sponge bed, it was the home he hadn't been back to for a long time.The time and weather are displayed on the smart wall. It was three o'clock in the afternoon on February 12, and it was raining heavily outside.

Lu Ting took a few heavy breaths—it was so strange, the fall where he thought he was going to die was just yesterday.He was actually still alive.

"Are you awake?" Lu Zhi smiled at him with a haggard face from lack of sleep.

Lu Ting didn't move in a hurry, because most parts of his body hadn't regained consciousness. He opened his mouth and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why am I here?"

"Father brought you back personally, and I went too," Lu Zhi handed him a bag of water with a straw in it, "Seven spaceships stayed on the lake and caught you. Although the buffer layer is thick enough , but you still fell and passed out."

Lu Ting almost choked on half a mouthful of salt water, things were not going well, he thought so.

Lu Zhi sat on the edge of the bed, and adjusted the indoor light to a darker warm tone, "Do you still remember the last call I made to you? At that time, Dad had already found out where Aldebaran was, and he followed after seeing you set off. ,” she laughed again, “but a certain bad boy ignored my sister.”

"Sorry..." Lu Ting shook his painful head and tried to sit up.

He failed, but Lu Zhi helped him and let him lean on the head of the bed, "It's okay, Dad also saw the murals...he just stayed there, just wanting to see what you are going to do and if anything will happen It was an accident, and we did not interfere. If we hadn't followed all the way, then you would have really fallen in, not just being unconscious for a while now, plus a few light tissue contusions." Lu Zhi paused, "At that time What's going on? We saw a sudden fire above, and when we took you away, there was a tornado, and the whole sky was on fire."

Lu Ting did not answer, he felt wrong, very wrong, indeed, the radar system at that time was out of order, and it was normal not to be able to detect the lurking of other spaceships, but now he didn't care about other things, he raised his hand and touched his back neck, and then lowered tremblingly.

A square dressing was held between his fingers, only a fingernail-sized blood spot in the center.

"What is this?" He asked Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi's lips moved.

Lu Ting didn't wait for her to speak, and said again: "My glands have been picked? Did you take them off? Sister, answer me?"

"It's a new one for you, a spare gland that was grown with your own stem cells and DNA before." Lu Zhi didn't look away, "Minimally invasive surgery has no sequelae, no pain, and no rejection. It's no different than before."

Lu Ting's heart had already fallen into the ice cave, "There is no difference? Then why change it?" He put his hand back on the back of his neck, the circle of teeth marks was still there, he pressed his nails in along the edge, " Who did it? Was it Lu Bingyi?"

"I did the surgery for you. If the glands are replaced, the tooth marks will gradually fade away." Lu Zhi grabbed Lu Ting's arm and tried to take his hand off the wound, "Lulu... Don’t make trouble, you secretly had an abortion before, I’ve checked it, the side effects of that medicine are very serious on your body, and the glands you kept before are also polluted and not functioning well, you may not be able to do anything for the rest of your life Rebirth!"

Lu Ting broke her away: "Then you should also ask for my permission!"

"What's the matter?" Lu Zhi suddenly smiled, "Because the mark is lifted, you are not willing to part with it—I'm serious, don't be so naive."

"He forced you to do it, didn't he?" Lu Ting was already out of breath, "You must have saved the original one for me... We can secretly put it back when we find time."

Lu Zhi shook her head, "My sister did it voluntarily. I don't feel relieved to hand it over to others. I've already disposed of the old gland." Her eyes were red, and she went to hold Lu Ting's hand again, "I can't see you doing this again. Go down, Lulu, before going to that island, I wanted you to run so that your father would not find you, but you almost died on that island! The elders are not always wrong, I can understand now, father, you There is really no need to go to this point today, for that person, you think it's worth it, but we all feel sorry for you! I don't blame you, but I love you!"

Lu Ting was silent for a while.

He used too much force and was too inaccurate, as if he had already scratched the skin on the back of his neck. I don't know if it was the tooth marks or the small wound. In short, there was a tingling sensation, which penetrated into his spine and maintained his limbs. breathe.

Because he felt that he was empty, that his whole body was drained, and the first thing that was squeezed was his dull heart.The glands were destroyed, the connection... the bond he could soothe even if he had forgotten about it, had no reason to continue to exist.Even if he uses every cell in his body to receive and search, he still can't feel Dun Mochi.So there is no need for new glands to exist.Even if the insignificant pain in his hand couldn't dig it out, at least it made him feel confident that he still had blood flowing.

"Sister, can't you lie to me?" He finally opened his mouth, but he didn't seem to hear what Lu Zhi said behind him, he just opened his dry eyes wide, "I will hate you."

Lu Zhi let go of his wrist in a daze, and froze on the edge of the bed. The next second, she stood up.

Lu Ting also lowered his hand, and there was blood under the nails and on the pads of his fingers. With such a right hand, he pulled out the needle on the back of his left hand, turned over and got out of bed.

Every bone was sore, but he didn't stagger, and he didn't stop.

"Where are you going?" Lu Zhi chased him, "Arguing with Dad? Or do you want to go back and find that person?"

Lu Ting didn't turn his head, and closed the doorknob with his fingers.

"He is dead!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Ting's door also opened.The outer hall is also brightly lit, and the light screen on the wall is broadcasting the news. The picture is the burning sky above the peninsula, the eye of the hurricane, and the blurred blackness in the eye and the ring of fire.

Can't see what's in the black.

The headline of the news, and what the announcer was reading, was "The Death of You-Know-Who N."

Lu Ting nailed the door and watched for a while.After seeing the program, he began to analyze why N appeared there again, and according to a few dim silhouettes, he analyzed what kind of aircraft he was flying in the end.Afterwards, all the murals in the pyramid were released, but unlike what Lu Ting had captured before, it was not the kind of pictures that could be captured by the drone he had.

So it should have been followed by his father, who provided it to the TV station.

To prove what?

It proved that Deng Mochi, the deadly enemy and troublemaker who caused many troubles, finally died.It is also necessary to restore a little bit of facts, and make his death more heroic and mysterious.

"No way," Lu Ting no longer supported the door frame, forcing himself to stand upright, "Everyone knows that he must see people and dead bodies. Have you searched and rescued on the island? Who is this TV station fooled by?"

"The wreckage of Aldebaran-b fell with you," Lu Zhi walked to his side, "No spaceship can bear that kind of fire."

His spaceship is not ordinary, his spaceship can withstand nuclear bombs!Lu Ting pressed the words to his lips.This is Deng Mochi's secret, and maybe it is now, he can't just talk about it for a while.But if he was asked to find other reasons to refute, he couldn't do it—he had no idea where Deng Mochi was, what he was doing, whether he was awake or not.

It was different from the previous period of disappearance that lasted for several months.This time the connection has been lost, which is true.

Lu Ting was a little dizzy, and the steel bone that pierced Deng Mochi appeared in front of his eyes, as well as the tears dripping with the blood. He fell on his back, and gravity pulled them away. This was the last time before he fell into a coma. see.

"But he is not dead," Lu Ting turned his head, looked at Lu Zhi and said, "Sister, I will find him."

Lu Zhi stopped talking and left with red eyes.Lu Ting endured the mild and severe pain in his joints, changed into protective clothing that was easy to move, and took the police tool bag, ready to slip through the window.Although the bracelet was taken away and Lucy was not by his side, Lu Ting still had confidence in his heart.This was not the first time for him, he climbed out of the bedroom window, he knew exactly where to hook himself, where to land, and how to climb to the nearest bridge.

Although it was raining, and although Aldebaran-b had died, he had enough money, as long as he went out, he could rent a spaceship that wasn't too bad, and return to that island.Deng Mochi must still be there——Deng Mochi will never leave him behind, not to mention the time for serious injury treatment, if he can't find where he is, Deng Mochi will look there for at least a month .

Or half a month.

A week is fine too.

Anyway, it was enough for him to rush to the meeting.

Although he lost the mark, Deng Mochi must be reluctant to blame him.Besides, even if the mark is gone, they still know each other, and those new memories are still there, and he is still his Omega.is that so?No, there was also a fire this time, but he didn't stay by Deng Mochi's side to remind himself of his existence.Lu Ting was startled suddenly, and he didn't allow himself to think about it any further. Sometimes he couldn't tell whether this mentality of reining in a horse was deceiving himself. Anyway, thinking this way would make him feel better. People have to do something to give him a better life. The courage to take the next step on your own.

There was no fear in his mind as he pulled out of the ledge.The dark high-rise buildings, the dots of light mixed in the thick darkness, those windows are far away from him, because no one will be the neighbor of the president, only the advertisements are everywhere, those tall 3D projections surround him, and the geisha with snow-white faces , a person running in a nano-material sportswear, a woman holding a child and a dog... The chaotic light surrounded him, Lu Ting grasped the steel rope, and glanced at his feet before swinging down.

Then he was stunned and retracted his body into the window.The place about five meters below him is full of infrared rays. To be precise, this heat-sensitive net wraps around the neck of the building he is in. The width of the ring is at least 20 meters, like a disc. It is a distance that he cannot cross with any tool.

If it hits the net, will the alarm go off?Will it trigger the organ?Lu Ting turned on the flashlight and shone on the edge of the infrared mesh wall.After squinting for a while, he finally confirmed that the holes lined up there were indeed bullet holes.There will be four lined up at a certain distance, and the shape looks like a machine gun.Maybe there are people behind the guns, and it is more likely that they will automatically aim.

As long as he dares to jump, dare to defect again.

For the first time, Lu Ting really realized that his father would really let him die.If he is good, his father will save him and "love" him, but if he is not good, then he might as well not exist.If blood relatives are separated from right and wrong, he is indeed a disqualified son, but in the past he always had a chance, thinking that his father was not hard-hearted, at least he would turn a blind eye to him.

But now it seems that he was wrong again.

Lu Ting closed the window and sat down under it.He leaned against the temperature-controlled wall, hugged his shoulders and trembled, unable to stop for a long time.He was already at the highest point of one of the tallest buildings in the capital. His body hurt and was cold, and he couldn't fly. If he wanted to go, the only option was to go down.Immediately afterwards, this road was also blocked, and this gorgeous mansion and the hanging garden locked him firmly.

It was Lu Zhi who asked him to come out for dinner.Father was not there, and Lu An and his new wife were not there either. Only the siblings faced a table of delicacies in silence, but many servants stood guard against the wall of the restaurant, as if they were always on guard against accidents.They were guarding outside Lu Ting's room like this before, and Lu Ting had already discovered it.

That night Lu Ting couldn't fall asleep, and there was no sleeping medicine to take, so he just endured the whole night.He repaired the stopped quartz clock, and the cuckoo would come out every hour, make two chirps, and then retract its wings to draw nodes for his endless time.Early the next morning, he heard Lu Zhi's knock on the door again. Under the watchful eyes of many human and machine servants, he walked through the corridor and sat back at the table the night before, facing another table of pure natural organic dishes .

"When will Dad come back?" Lu Ting asked.

"It should be tomorrow." Lu Zhi observed his mood and poured a glass of bright red carrot blood orange juice into his glass.

After the meal, Lu Ting went back to his room, took a plate of sandwiches, and said that he would not come out for lunch or dinner.This is very similar to the awkward behavior of high school students, which will inevitably lead to the surveillance of more people outside the house—maybe they are sticking their ears to the wall, listening to the movement in the house at any time.But Lu Ting didn't care anymore, he had no other intentions, he just didn't want to see people.

For some reason, even being in contact with Lu Zhi terrified him.

In the afternoon, Lu Ting was bored and turned on the TV, thinking about the feasibility of digging a hole to get to the lower floor.On this point, his family is no exception. Below the used floors, there are abandoned vacant rooms in the building. As long as he breaks through a certain height, at most two floors, he will be free.So what is missing now are tools, efficient and quiet tools, it's not that Lu Ting doesn't have the idea of ​​dripping stones, it's just that time won't wait for him.

Where can I find tools?

The hundreds of TV stations had already been changed twice by him absent-mindedly, returning to the original default channel.Another old friend appeared in the news. Shu Rui had already held a separate press conference for SHOOPP ahead of the government. He publicly stated that the company would allocate a certain amount of shares for the aftermath of the immigration plan and subsidize those who lost members due to the project free of charge. family.The specific subsidy terms will be detailed after the official data is given.

Lu Ting didn't know whether this person had discussed it with his father. If not, it would be tantamount to tearing down the government. It means, I also think you are liars, so I paid for you to wipe your blood.

He raised his eyes, only to see that Fa Xiao was dressed in bright clothes, elegant in speech, without fear at all, and was full of spirit under the flashing light: "The immigration plan also uses a lot of technology developed by our company. This is what I think about it. In the face of the threat from China, both science and technology and the economy should be responsible for their past actions and make necessary concessions."

After the news, the grievances between SHOOPP's old chairman Shu Peiyuan and the current president Lu Bingyi were brought out again. Looking at the stock market, SHOOPP is ahead, and the stock price has soared all afternoon.

Lu Ting watched all this silently, and then changed the channel, and there were repeated news, N died, what exactly N wants to do, let us experts analyze and analyze.The sense of unreality suddenly surged up, and Lu Ting felt that he was in an illusion again.But why, he was the only one in the illusion, and the illusion made him unable to escape.

After midnight, he persisted in prying open four marble floor tiles with a dagger, facing the concrete layer below, holding the knife in his arms, and finally fell asleep exhausted.Had a somewhat familiar dream, like being at the seaside, at night, but his night blindness was cured, and he saw red sandy beaches, black water, desolate land, and two stars in the sky that were even more irregular than the shape of a fist. the moon.

The fire at the foot was washed by the tide, but it didn't go out, only shaking with the sound of water.

Suddenly a voice said to him in his ear, I will take you away.Lu Ting suddenly turned his face, he was not alone here, he was lonelier than the moon, under the firelight shining warmly, enough to put him to death, was Deng Mochi's faint smile.

When Lu Ting opened his eyes, he was lying on the ground, and the corner of the carpet that he lifted up was wetted by his crying.

Very good, Lu Ting looked up at the ceiling and thought, I didn't cry when I was awake.

Come and take me away, he said silently again, are you reminding me, do you want me to follow?He looked at the knife in his hand.

When he came back to his senses again, he realized that he slept until the afternoon. Lu Zhi probably came, put his futile floor tiles back to their original positions, and put breakfast and lunch on his bed head.Lu Ting just stared at those dinner plates in a daze.After about ten minutes, the smart wall suddenly issued a notification sound, and a new message slid out and magnified on the wall.

From his father, very brief: There will be a dinner party before the press conference tonight, starting at seven o'clock, carefully preparing the dress and music.

Lu Ting sniffed, looked at the line repeatedly, and suddenly laughed out loud.Sure enough, the father is going to do his favorite proof question again, to prove that the unsatisfied young son has returned to a docile state, and he will show up seriously and play for the guests politely Piano piece.

Putting the dagger back into his pocket, Lu Ting got up, but was in no hurry to go to the cloakroom.He went to the computer studio shared by the family and closed the door. It was empty.In about 10 to [-] minutes, someone will come in to check the situation by bringing water. Although I brought the water in myself, Lu Ting thought so, and quickly turned on his computer.

It took him 2 minutes to enter the household registration system, CTA9M83, remembering this number, it is not difficult to find that string of barcodes.Then he framed the pattern of the barcode, started the high-precision plating and engraving machine used to process electronic components, and put his forearm on the pallet where the metal plate should have been placed.

It is the right arm, and the inner side. The laser with nano-level precision stings the skin, causing neat and small scorched black in an instant, which is excruciating pain.Lu Ting smelled the smell of burning flesh, and also saw that the barcode and serial number gradually became complete on his arm.

He smiled heartily, though he couldn't quite tell what he was doing.He only knew that when he wanted to play the piano while holding back his vomiting, this pattern would accompany him.The mark is gone, and the life and death of the owner of the mark is uncertain. It is very likely that he has bled dry, or sank in the fire and poisonous fog.As for myself, I may never be able to step out of this house in my life, and I just want to die tonight.

That's okay too.

Lu Ting firmly believes that he is still Deng Mochi's, whether Deng Mochi admits it or not, this time he carved the permanent mark with his own hands, unless they peel off his skin and cut off his hands. Mark will always be with him.In fact, I want to engrave it on a more meaningful place, such as the heart, where I feel at a loss due to disconnection, or the truncated back of the neck, but the operation is too inconvenient, and it will delay time. The right hand is also very good. Tonight Before many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, he would use this hand to do what he wanted to do throughout his youth, but failed time and time again, and was persuaded by the psychiatrist to prevaricate time and time again.

As for the content of the subsequent press conference, what is the government's explanation, and what I have been asking, I don't want to know. Lu Ting keeps thinking, I don't even want to know.

This kind of thinking is too pessimistic and too weak. Lu Ting understands that he has wrapped himself into a magic barrier, and he can see clearly.But what does it matter?He admitted that he was crushed, and he didn't want to stand up again. In the court of trial of love and desire, he had been convicted long ago. He was unforgivably guilty and deprived of freedom forever, but at least he could decide for himself if he had a life. Deng Mochi said that wanting to die is not shameful, he remembered it very clearly.

When I lowered my sleeves to cover the barcode, there was a knock on the door, and a bionic robot without smell came to deliver apple juice.Lu Ting looked at him with a smile, and thought happily, goodbye.

At seven o'clock in the evening that day, in the glass banquet hall on the top floor of the Presidential Palace, Lu Ting wore a beautifully tailored black velvet pinched waist suit, a black bow tie, and snow-white gloves. Polonaise.In this big radiant glass ball, Lu An and Lu Zhi were greeted and sent off at the entrance of the hall. His father was surrounded by the head table, and most of the guests were already seated. It was a lot of fun.No one seems to recognize that the crescendo of the piano is that Chopin is singing the praises of his homeland. It is a symphonic poem sung only by the keys, which is outside the regulations and should not appear in this repertoire.

Out of the corner of his eye, Lu Ting even caught a glimpse of the speaker whom he called his uncle, shaking his wine glass briskly to the rhythm. The ladies and ladies were in full bloom, stepping on his piano to hire Tingting, almost listening to it as jazz .

Of course, they can't be blamed for this, and the fact that a dinner is held before a serious conference is ridiculous enough in itself.

Lu Ting lowered his head and began to exhale and inhale deeply. He didn't look at the piano or his hands, but only looked at the tip of the knife protruding from his cuff. It seemed that he could only persevere if he thought that all this could end immediately.This song has been played more than a dozen times, and he needs to change to another... In the spirit of professionalism, he thought this way, but the continuous music in his ears was suddenly torn apart.

It may be more appropriate to say that it was broken, and it was not only his piano sound that was broken—the southeast corner of the glass ball was completely broken, and the steel frame used as support was also broken, and it fell vertically, smashing the round table full of guests , above, a black thing was inserted there horizontally, bringing in a dense cold air, and there were also strong winds, rain and snow.

Lu Ting stood up, and the dagger fell to the ground.This must be an illusion. Amidst the uproar in the hall, he looked at the big guy with a distance as far as the diameter of the banquet hall. The beautiful and huge cheongsam woman behind it was looking around and smiling, "Sariel, your forever loyal housekeeper, here is A well-organized room and a lot of love." Her sweet voice dripped like water, her face was flickered by the rain, and the multicolored light shone on the intruder, making it look weird, solemn, and out of place.

It must have suffered a lot before, and the originally beautiful and reflective silver ash was burnt black, but even if only the skeleton remained, Lu Ting could still recognize it.

That was LastShadow's pointed nose.

He had a day like a dream. In the dream, he sat on it, leaning on Deng Mochi's shoulder, and watched 51 sunsets.
