bunny in another soap bubble

When Tu Zi opened his eyes again, his ears were filled with intelligible language.

"Langya—"

"Shu..." Xin Yilin immediately covered his mouth, "We haven't returned to the base yet, so wait."

Suppressing his panic, Tu Zi pursed his lips and rolled his eyes to look around.

——Langya is not here.

Qin Ran whispered in his ear to explain the situation: "We just crossed the border, and we used the excuse of sending you back to the doctor urgently to avoid most of the inspections and take this express train. We will get off at the city near the base soon, and we will wait for everything to return. Let's talk at your own place, okay?"

Tu Zi really wanted to say it was bad, but they had already left country R, ​​so it would be useless to jump up now.

Pretending to be in a coma all the way until he entered the realm of heavy makeup, Tu Zi finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Where's Lang Ya?" Tu Zi actually had a premonition of the answer to this question, but he still asked with a glimmer of hope.

To this, Yan Wuxiang's answer was straightforward, "He was taken away by the rehabilitated party."

"How could this be..." Tu Zi clenched his teeth.

"The rehabilitative party finally resorted to voltage grenades, and you all fell down." Only Xin Yilin and Huang Chen, who have been supporting the rear to the end, know what happened, "Xiaochen and I worked hard to bring you back, and we also tried Take back Lang Ya, but those agents don't care about anything, they only want to take Lang Ya away. Casveto's armed forces came to search for this chaos again. We have no choice but to take advantage of the border guards' vigilance. Evacuate."

Tu Zi scratched his hair, "Why Lang Ya... Where are they going to take Lang Ya?"

"It's hard to say." Xin Yilin clicked his tongue and looked at Shangguan Wan.

It's a pity that Shangguan Wan is not sure, "There are too many places where the rehabilitated party can hide people. If I could know, I wouldn't..."

The last few words were as thin as a mosquito's sound, and they couldn't reach Tu Zi's ears at all.He breathed hard, and his heart was in a mess, no matter which line he started from, it was a knot.

"Why did you arrest him? Didn't you say the target was Qin Ran? Then you said it was me? Anyway, how could it be him!"

Shangguan Wan slowly shook her head, "No, the target is you."

Tu Zi frowned, not understanding.

"The ultimate goal of the Rehabilitation Party is to control you to work for them." Shangguan Wan lowered his head, his expression was unclear, but his voice was dry, "Kin Ran told me...you and that Class A are partners, right? There is no difference if you say it. Even if you are caught, he will be kidnapped in the end; and if he is kidnapped, you will naturally be caught. They will hold him in their hands and threaten you to meet their demands."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Shangguan Wan with complicated eyes.Since she said so, there is no doubt that she has been threatened by the rehabilitated party to carry out "tasks" over the years.

Qin Ran thought for a while, and immediately understood, "Those thirty children..."

Shangguan Wan twitched her neck and turned her head away from Qin Ran's sight.Song Shi gently hugged his partner into his arms, stroked her hair, and let her lean on his shoulder.

Shangguan Wan couldn't refuse the touch that was too far apart.Leaning on her lover's shoulder, she explained the past 18 years one by one one after another.

"After being captured by the rehabilitated party, the rehabilitated party did a lot of experiments on me. At first I was unwilling to cooperate, but they exhausted their methods on me, so they used torture on those children.

I..." Shangguan Wan blinked hard and continued, "I really can't bear it... This is my worst start. "

"It can't be helped, you..." Song Shi whispered comfortingly.

Shangguan Wan shook his head, pressed Song Shi's chest and pushed him away, "If there is one, there will be two. After understanding my ability, they began to ask me to do more - the 50-year bill, the second parliamentary by-election, File confidentiality ruling..." She twisted her lips in self-deprecating, "It's all about me."

The rest of the people also broke out in a cold sweat when they heard her name one political and economic event after another.

"Actually, I also know that there is no head at all." Shangguan Wan continued to recall, but from the eyes, he seemed to have left this time and space, "Every time I finish a task, they let me see the children. After a few glances, I'm actually not sure how they are doing. It's just that I've compromised, and I—"

——There is only one way to go to the dark.

Song Shi couldn't bear it, so he pulled his partner into his arms again with all his strength, "Who can bear it, A Wan, this is not your problem, who can bear it?" Can he bear to torture the children he finally saved?

It's been 18 years now, and I can't let go of what I grew up protecting.

"A year ago, when they began to ask me to attack the underground organization of infected people, I finally couldn't deceive myself and others. But," Shangguan Wan was silent for a long time at this point, "it doesn't mean that I have another way to go."

Everyone listened all the time and had nothing to say.Shangguan Wan's choice can't be said to be correct, but who can guarantee that he can be so determined that thirty children who don't know anything will accompany him to die?

"I tried my best to let go of people who the rehabilitated party didn't know existed... Ha," Shangguan Wan burst into a sharp laugh while talking, "it won't help, comfort yourself, and save the murderer."

The creepy laughter stopped abruptly. Shangguan Wan raised his head from Song Shi's chest and turned to stare at Tu Zi, "So you must not be caught by them. Having tasted the benefits of the infected person's ability, I am not here again. They must If you are in a hurry, you will definitely use more ruthless methods to ensure that you are more obedient than me."

Looking at Shangguan Wan with round cat eyes, Tu Zi didn't seem to listen to her words.

"They are anxious to get me, and want to blackmail me with Lang Ya. That is to say," he blinked, with some kind of determination, "as long as I show up, they will bring Lang Ya to me."

"Are you crazy?!"

Yan Mo was not the only one who had this reaction, everyone present did not expect Tu Zi's reaction to be so when they heard about Shangguan Wan's past.

"I know there are risks." Tu Zi naturally didn't think he was crazy, "but only the rehabilitated party knows where he is. To save him, this is the necessary risk."

Xin Yilin didn't agree at all, "It's been said that he is used to catch you as bait. If you are alive, they will naturally not kill him. Why are you so anxious?"

"Capital crimes are exempt, but what about living crimes?" Tu Zi retorted, "What did Yan Mo look like when we brought him back?"

Sensing Tu Zi's mood swings, Qin Ran interjected softly, "Since the risk is high, let's start with a long-term plan..."

"What is the long-term plan!" As if cutting the wrong wire, without warning, Tu Zi suddenly went crazy, and his voice became louder and louder, "We have already abandoned him and returned to China! How long has it been? Huh? What will they do to him? I have no idea! He is just waiting for me! Even if it is a rehabilitated party, just because it is a rehabilitated party, I, I must—”

"Tu Zi!"

There was a sharp pain in his left arm, and Tu Zi came back to his senses, only to realize that Yan Mo twisted his hands and pressed him to the ground half kneeling.

His whole body was covered in cold sweat, panting heavily, he silently retracted the mental tentacles that had spread out at some point, and then called back the glutinous rice balls that were running around and hitting the wall, and held them with his right hand.

Tu Zi woke up, but Yan Mo still didn't let go.

"Tu Zi, let me enter your mental picture."

"...Ah?" Tu Zi was taken aback for a moment, "When is this—"

"There's something wrong with you, Tu Zi, if you calm down, you should be able to guess what's going on." Yan Mo looked serious, "I need confirmation, let me check your mental image."

"I do not--"

"I won't let go until I have seen your mental image." Yan Mo interrupted Tu Zi's refusal, "Don't waste time."

Tu Zi also knew that it was impossible for him to break free from the suppression of a sentinel, so he had to accept Yan Mo's conditions, reach out his spiritual thread again, and connect Yan Mo's consciousness into it.

Yan Mo followed Tu Zi and stepped into the grassland in Tu Zi's consciousness.Inside, there are blue sky and green land, and small white flowers like edelweiss bloom all over the mountains and plains.

"Look, it's okay." Tu Zi was very impatient, "The sky is still so blue, the grass is still so green, and the flowers are still blooming. Let's go."

Ignoring Tu Zi's urging, Yan Mo looked around and released his stag.

"What are you doing—" Tu Zi became upset, it's not very polite to visualize one's own mental body in other people's mental landscape without permission, to increase one's own sense of existence.

Yan Mo still ignored it, and slapped the deer god to make the stag run around on the grass.Wherever the stag went, the white velvet flowers flew, and then - soared high.

"This...!" Tu Zi was also shocked.

Those clumps of "snow velvet" turned out to be not petals, but fingertip-sized butterflies one after another.

"Creatures outside of his own spirit." Yan Mo found what he was looking for, and voluntarily withdrew from Tu Zi's consciousness.At the same time, Tu Zi turned his focus back to the outside world, but couldn't speak, and even forgot to ask Yan Mo Yiyue to let go of himself.

"Tu Zi, you know what this means." Yan Mo looked at Tu Zi, and waited for Tu Zi to look back at him before continuing.

"—you're in love with him."

"I," Tu Zi opened his mouth to defend, but couldn't find the words to use, "I..."

"You're in love with Langya. You may not have realized it before, but your mental imagery is already obvious." Yan Mo said straightly, "The creatures outside the glutinous rice balls appear in your spiritual imagery, which means you belong to your heart, and that It can only be Langya."

Tu Zi was dumbfounded just now when he discovered his intentions in this way, but he didn't bother to complain about his dullness, because he knew what Yan Mo was going to say next.

"You can't go to him." Yan Mo is very serious, "You should know better than me what will happen to the brain in the initial binding state, plus the chemical secretion of love, and then mixed with adrenaline and other stimuli. The loss of control just now is the best proof - you can't maintain your sanity at all, your brain and your abilities will lose control!"

Tu Zi tried to argue, "This is just a theory, not necessarily—"

"This is solid physiological knowledge. In your current state, you have had complications and haven't passed the cooling-off period. You won't even be able to submit an application for permanent binding. Medically and legally, you have no ability to judge now!"

"There is no tower here! I don't want to get married!" Tu Zi began to struggle, wanting Yan Mo to let go of himself.

Yan Mo did not expect that Tu Zi, who usually likes popular science and physiological knowledge the most, would be so stubborn, "You yourself said, 'We have to have a correct understanding of these chemical reactions and face them with a positive attitude'! You know that My physical condition is not right, facing this chemical effect—”

"It's all due to chemistry, so what's the point of our awakening as sentinel guides!" Tu Zi roared.

Everyone on the sidelines was stunned, and couldn't believe that this sentence came from Tu Zi's mouth.

Tu Zi's eyes were red, and he was breathing heavily, "He is the sentinel I bound, and I love him, there is no way I would not look for him."

Yan Mo had nothing to say, but he still didn't let go of Tu Zi.

Qin Ran winked at Yan Wuxiang.

Knowing what his partner meant, Yan Wuxiang took a step forward and separated Yan Mo and Tu Zi with his own hands.

"Tu Zi, no matter what, you should rest for a night and calm down." His deep voice was majestic, "Yan Mo, you too."

Taking advantage of the confusion in Tu Zi's head after the roar, Xin Yilin seized the opportunity to get a place on Tu Zi's shoulder, and even used the upper half of the spiritual thread to soothe his emotions. "I'll take him back to the house." While walking, he also turned his head and gave his partner a wink.

Huang Chen understood, turned around and went out to summon Xiao Tao.

"Look at Tu Zi tonight, don't let him leave the room."
