[Infinite Stream] Destiny Rubik's Cube

Xu Chi woke up in the sleeping cabin and contacted the number A1019101 for the first time.

Click Send.

There was no response from the other side.

On the minimalist interface, the screen is full of harassing text messages from 101. The content of the last message is to trick a fish lover into eating fake West Lake vinegar fish.

A certain fish lover listened to the slander, but after going there, there were no fake ones.

Xu Chi's dull face was reflected on the spotless glass. He was lying motionless on his back with drooping eyelids, and the lingering figures in his mind tirelessly disturbed his exhausted nerves that had been sleepless for two days and nights.

That figure appeared in different scenes, with a long body standing tall and sharp as a sharp sword out of its sheath. He had a highly recognizable face, with broken eyebrows like paint, eyes like cold stars, full of joy, laughter and anger. The banner is clear and arrogant.

Perhaps to make up for his own shortcomings, Xu Chi, who is always dull and indifferent, always prefers to deal with such interesting people.

In the early years there was Zhou Xingzhi, and now there is Zhou Qi.

The scene spun around, and the final frame was frozen at the moment when Zhou Qi broke free from his hand and fell from the millstone.

Xu Chi extracted this moment from his memory, enlarged it frame by frame, and analyzed it over and over again. He felt that Zhou Qi had something to say to him at that time. Solemnly.After much deliberation, Xu Chi decided to call it friendship for the time being, the kind that can be trusted with life and death.

To Admiral Xu, this kind of deep bond and pure interpersonal relationship can be said to be the first time for a bride to get on the sedan chair, and it is very fresh.

He has trusted many people in the past few decades, and without exception, these people are comrades-in-arms who fought side by side. They may be the subordinate-subordinate relationship of obedience and command, the cooperative relationship between the same level, or the temporary teamwork. Then they parted ways in the strategic relationship. In the process of communication, they followed a specific pattern, with distinct levels and order.

As for A to Z who grew up together and died one after another, each of them was trained to be a killing machine without blinking an eye.Machines have no human emotions. For them, friendship is a burden, a weakness, and a fatal luxury.

As for the brothers and sisters of the Leng family, they were innocent in the early days, but then changed for some reason.

Xu Chi is not a piece of wood either. Twenty Lang was at the age of twenty, and Leng Mingjue expressly hinted at the time when he confessed his love three times a day while pinching his meal, no matter how dull he was, he could understand that it might be the so-called love that Zhou Xingzhi was preaching all day long.

That day was very blue, the grass was very green, and the military uniform and white skirt looked very harmonious. Leng Mingjue's pretty face approached inch by inch, wanting to ask for a kiss, but Xu Chi didn't move, but his white-gloved hand held it against Her smooth forehead.Rejection doesn't really need a reason.The sky was still blue, the grass was still green, the military uniform and the white skirt approached for a short time and then drifted away. Before turning around, he saw the silent tears on Leng Mingjue's cheeks.

Those tears dripped on Xu Chi's heart more than 20 years later.

Sour and bitter.

Xu Chi suddenly remembered the wound on the inside of his lower lip bitten by Zhou Qi. After two days of rest, the wound had already healed, and when he licked it with the tip of his tongue, the wound surface had returned to smoothness.

The moment I was bitten, my mouth was full of rusty taste, and there was no other feeling. Now it is better, but it has become sour and bitter.

He thought of Zhou Qi's dream about butterflies again, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Does Zhou Qi know, or don't know, or know and pretend not to know?

Xu Chi couldn't tell the difference, but he thought he was upright, and he was bitten back when he saved someone. If he had a chance to learn the truth in the future, it should be Zhou Qi who was embarrassed.

Thinking about it this way, the uneasiness disappeared.

The sour and bitter taste continued to spread.

"Ding dong."

101 sent a message at this time.

——"Come and entertain Zone D"

When Xu Chi arrived, everyone was there, and Leng Qiu, Ren Simiao, Jiang Yu, and a half-dead Zhou Qi were playing mahjong at a table.

Amidst the sound of shuffling the cards, Zhou Qi was squatting on the chair with a cigarette in his mouth, his hands were busy working non-stop, he was so smoked that he had to squint his eyes to look at Xu Chi, and raised his chin: "Come on! , hurry up and pull the minor across from the table and make up for it."

Leng Qiu protested: "Why? Just because I have a lot of mustache? Huh, rookie! If you lose, you'll be shameless!"

"Damn, let you still play with two hands? When uncle was all-powerful at the gambling table, you were still sucking your fingers in the womb!" Zhou Qi held a cigarette, shook the ash skillfully, and threw the dice.

The two dice spun a few times in the center of the table, and finally stopped, the same one, the smallest point.

Ren Simiao burst out laughing.

Jiang Yu shook his head and sighed, gathered the dice, and rolled the dice, the same six, the highest point.

Leng Qiu gave a thumbs up: "As expected of the real son of the king of gambling!"

Zhou Qi swept the faces of the three of them one by one, and was furious: "Don't play anymore, I'm very unlucky. Come here, Xu Jiaojiao!"

He waved to Xu Chi who was leaning against the door of the chess and card room, but Xu Chi didn't move, looked at him and said, "I don't know how."

"No, I'll teach you, it's very simple." Zhou Qi jumped off the chair, hooked the man in by hooking his neck, closed the door with his feet, pushed Xu Chi into the chair, and moved another chair to sit next to him. Putting one arm on the back of Xu Chi's chair, he commanded domineeringly, "Come on, take the cards."

As soon as Xu Chi took his seat, the atmosphere on the mahjong table immediately became subtle. Everyone sat upright, staring at their cards, like a primary school student who was punished to sit and stare at a failing test paper.

Xu Chi played a card at Zhou Qi's urging, played another card, and then excused the smell of cigarettes in the room, got up and went out.

As he walked forward, Zhou Qi pinched his cigarette with his back foot, staring at the three people who immediately collapsed their shoulders and relieved with a smile, teasing: "What's going on, you guys, seeing Xu Jiaojiao meeting the mouse Like a cat?"

Leng Qiu stumbled when he spoke: "You, you don't know, you were unconscious two days ago, we were online, no matter how cue you online, you didn't hear from you, Uncle Xu's face was stinky in those two days!"

"Yes, yes, it's not that you haven't seen the aura of your Jiaojiao that no one should enter." Ren Simiao clutched his chest, feeling terrified, "He only came out once in total, and asked a question in total. , Three words, what about Zhou Qi? We shook our heads and said we didn’t know. Then his eyes, ah, I almost performed a sudden death on the spot.”

Jiang Yu was absent from their checkpoint. He was assigned to another checkpoint. He relied on the spirit of the European Emperor all the way to the end. When he came back, he was shocked to learn that Zhou Qi's life and death were uncertain, and then he was put on the grave face Xu Chi was startled for the second time, feeling aggrieved, and said, "Brother Qi, I really thought you were dead, it made me sad for two whole days."

"What the hell? Dad is alive and well! Can you say something auspicious?"

Zhou Qi waved the smoke in front of him, sat with his hands in his pockets, and stared at the second barrel that Xu Chi shot out.

Xu Chi was very unhappy because of him...?

Gee.

Zhou Qi hooked the corner of his mouth.

I don't know why, but knowing that Xu Chi is unhappy, he is happy.

Not happy.

"You guys play first, I'll coax Jiaojiao." Zhou Qi pushed the cards, stood up happily, and walked away.

Leng Qiu: "..."

Ren Simiao: "..."

Jiang Yu wailed from behind: "Brother, you're gone, three are missing and one is missing, let's play!"

Zhou Qi found a familiar figure under the Ferris wheel in the amusement park in the entertainment area.

Xu Chi was holding his hands behind his back, looking up at the Ferris wheel, watching the Ferris wheel turn slowly, sending the painted carriages one after another to the highest point.

"Want to sit?" Zhou Qi asked.

Xu Chi maintained that posture and said after a while, "I don't want to."

"Then what are you looking at?"

Xu Chi turned his head and asked, "The injury on the back of your head..."

"It's finished, it's okay." Zhou Qi took a step to the left, tilted his head and said, "Let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"Line in line to ride the Ferris wheel."

There is no need to pay for all the services that the sleeping cabin can provide in the Rubik's Cube, which can be regarded as a reward for survivors.The only troublesome thing is that if there are many people in line, you need to spend time waiting patiently. Everyone is equal here. No one can use privileges to jump in line or bribe insiders. There is no insider who can bribe. The machine will issue you a number plate , no one dares to disobey.

After queuing for more than half an hour, the two finally successfully entered the carriage.The carriage swayed and slowly rose into the air.

Xu Chi folded his arms, leaning against the window, overlooking the entire virtual world.He noticed a twisted ribbon-shaped building with a unique shape. Its appearance was a low-key matte gray, which was incompatible with the colorful world around it.

"Are you looking at that Mobius ring?" Zhou Qi sat on the soft stool, noticing his gaze.

"Mobius ring?" Xu Chi repeated the term in a low voice.

"Well, it's the model that distorts the reference of the building." Zhou Qi took out from his arms the note that had just been punished for playing mahjong and was pasted on his face and hidden by him. "Look, I put the note Twist it 180 degrees, and glue the two ends together. We got this simple but profound model."

Xu Chi stared at the note in his hand seriously.

"Did you see anything?" Zhou Qi asked, pulling the note.

"It has only one curved surface." Xu Chi stretched out his hand, and slid his fingertips across the surface of the note. He slid to the top and then to the bottom. After walking the entire distance, he returned to the original point, frowning, "I can't get out."

"Yes, it has no front and back, or in other words, the front and back are mutually transformed. If Mobius is big enough, we walk in it, every step we feel that we are walking in a straight line, but we will always return to the original point, There is no beginning and no end, and the cycle repeats without end."

Xu Chi looked at the gloomy building again, and said calmly, "Sounds like a horror story."

Zhou Qi smiled, let go of the hands holding both ends of the note, and the note returned to its original shape: "It's a bit. So what? Do you want to go there and have a look? I can accompany you."

Xu Chi didn't say go or say no, he walked back to Zhou Qi, sat down side by side, with his left leg folded over his right leg, his back straight, his hands on his knees, and his index finger tapped again and again. with.

This is the standard posture he would assume when he wanted to discuss some important event.The whole person looks capable and sharp, intimidating.

An invisible aura enveloped Zhou Qi, causing him to tense his shoulders unconsciously, and lowered his voice: "What do you want to say?"

"The epee hangs the eagle, the sky fires the wolves, the halberd comes out and the whale falls, and prosperity must decline." Xu Chi read out the admonition engraved on the back of the shoulder badges of all the senior officers of the Redemption Corps back then, and he looked into Zhou Qi's eyes , without blinking, tentatively said, "Have you ever heard of it?"
