[Infinite Stream] Destiny Rubik's Cube

After the so-called hot spring resort hotel sank into the sea, the hot spring naturally became a cold spring, leaving only the black wreckage of the hotel.

Zhou Qi and Xu Chi sneaked in quietly.

They walked along the collapsed wall for a week, then entered the main building and carefully searched layer by layer, but found nothing but mud and seaweed.

The group of "Qinglingling" sea monsters seemed to evaporate out of thin air after entering here.

The low pressure before the storm shrouded overhead, and no one wanted to speak, because every word might detonate the subtle gunpowder smoke that filled the air.

The two were silent, and returned to the empty hall on the first floor, looking out: in the vast yard, there were a few dilapidated benches scattered on the open space that was suspected to be a grass field, and a huge chrome-plated steel tower stood in the middle, and the top of the tower was Raised arc.Zhou Qi explained that the top of the arc tower can be opened by remote control, and the space inside is used to park helicopters.Today's slightly higher-end hotels will be equipped with this sturdy and beautiful tower-shaped building, which is used to welcome distinguished guests during special periods, and is usually used as an aerial stage.

"Stage?" Xu Chi questioned. There was no such thing 20 years ago.

"Did you see the hollow layer under the apron?" Zhou Qi folded his arms and raised his chin slightly.

His face was sullen, the corners of his lips pulled down, and he didn't look at Xu Chi when he spoke, like a little boy who was in a relationship with his parents.

Xu Chi narrowed his eyes and hummed briefly.

Looking at it at a glance, the steel tower that is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle seems to be broken, and there is a vacuum for no reason.

"That's the stage. Usually eight chrome-plated steel columns and a circle of floor-to-ceiling glass connect the stage and the apron," Zhou Qi said.

But now those glasses have been shattered long ago, and I don't know where they fell in the sea, leaving only a large empty space with ventilation on all sides.

"Usually, if there are any major festivals, such as fans' night or Christmas Eve, the hotel usually holds a party there, and the tickets are included in the accommodation fee and sold as a package. You know, those businessmen are always very good at consumer psychology. The set can not only make customers feel that they have taken advantage of it, but also make them earn a lot of money.”

Xu Chi listened quietly with folded arms, nodding from time to time.

"Of course, the existence of this kind of sky garden also has a natural function. About all hotels in the world have the obligation to contract weddings. As a wedding venue, if the price can be more affordable, I think most people will feel that it is no better than the sky garden. The stage is more romantic and more suitable for a wedding.”

Xu Chi asked: "Do you want to hold a wedding in that kind of place in the future?"

Zhou Qi closed his mouth and looked straight at him.

There is a faint resentment.

Xu Chi believed that he would not intersperse the wedding scene in an introduction for no reason, and knew that he would not want to discuss where to get married right now, so he asked instead, "Do you think we should go up there and have a look?"

Zhou Qi's expression didn't soften in the slightest: "If we can go up."

"Under normal circumstances, how should we go up?"

"Of course the elevator."

"But now the elevator is on strike."

"Yes."

"But have you forgotten? We're in the sea now."

Zhou Qi cast a blank look.

Xu Chi felt that he could speak more plainly: "Actually, we can swim up."

Two seconds later, Zhou Qi realized that his face was obviously darker.

The two climbed up the slippery outer wall of the steel tower and swam up.

In the middle, Xu Chi heard Zhou Qi muttering: "So the part of the gene that determines intelligence has been consolidated and enhanced?"

"At that time, the technology hadn't developed to the point where genes could be strengthened." Xu Chi replied, "And there was no need. Because stupid people will not be selected at all."

Zhou Qi felt that he meant something: "So?"

"So someone like you is safe."

Xu Chi can always taunt people with a deadpan face like this.

A mouthful of blood choked in Zhou Qi's throat: "Be careful what you say."

"Why? Just kidding." Xu Chi was the last one to climb onto the air stage, turned around, and held his razor-thin lips mockingly, "Or, you can't stand my weird personality anymore and don't want to accommodate me anymore?"

"..."

Zhou Qi didn't know how to respond, he could clearly feel that Xu Chi was losing his temper.

And he didn't understand why Xu Chi got angry at all. Obviously, it was him who should lose his temper now!Obviously he was the one who was perfunctory and deceived!Why are you completely lost now?

Is it true that those who are favored are confident and righteous?

"Are you breaking up with me?"

In the mood of running wild and out of control, he heard Xu Chi's indifferent voice.

In fact, if he could calm down quickly at this time, he would hear the paleness and caution in Xu Chi's words.

But rationality is always absent at such times.

Zhou Qi was so angry that he laughed, his light-colored eyes were instantly filled with coldness and alienation: "General Xu, do you think it's interesting to play with me like this?"

Xu Chi: "I didn't play tricks on you."

"Then why on earth did you agree to be with me?"

Xu Chi couldn't answer.

He looked away in the eye contact.

Emotions piled up to a certain critical value, and with a ding, they erupted completely.

Zhou Qi stretched out his arm, pointed at Xu Chi from the air and nodded.Then he took a deep breath, lowered his hands, and stomped violently on the faded red carpet, like a lion bound by an invisible net.After a while, he roared with a livid face: "So why on earth! Why did you kiss me, why did you give me the illusion, why did you die for me, why did you say those nice and gentle words? You don't have any fucking feelings for me!"

Xu Chi's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but Zhou Qi's overwhelming anger didn't give him a chance at all.

"Did you pretend to be hard? It must have been very hard. It's really hard for you. Haha. I really received the loyalty of the general, and I guessed it right? Isn't it because of my damn identity that you did all this? I don’t want it now, I don’t need you to act in front of me hypocritically, I won’t pester you anymore, and I will take back all the words I said I love you, are you satisfied now? Isn’t this the result you want? "

Don't hurt yourself to respond to me.

That would make my love too humble.

His questioning filled the entire space, and his fierce words were woven into an impenetrable net, enveloping the embarrassed Xu Chi.

Xu Chi is still wearing that calm mask that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and no one knows the undercurrent surging under the mask.

What Zhou Qi said is right, he did not let go of his mouth before because of a love full of beautiful fantasies.

But it's not because of the so-called stupid loyalty. He used to have faith, but that thing was broken a long time ago.

At that time, he simply wanted to satisfy this man, because of guilt, because he wanted to make up too much, so he couldn't refuse.

"Is it important to love, or not to love?" Xu Chi's cold voice sounded so lacking in fireworks at this moment.

Zhou Qi glared at him in disbelief.It seems that he said something stupid that ordinary people can't understand.

"I mean." Xu Chi rubbed his eye sockets, and wearily dropped his cold and slender fingers, "Why don't you just let me stay with you all the time?"

The cold, clammy water stopped flowing and the air was quiet.

The anger in Zhou Qi's eyes was completely extinguished by the cold water poured down from his head. His chest was still hurting, but he changed the pain method, and a more weak and slow dull pain spread to all limbs.He began to understand that there was a huge gap in consciousness between him and Xu Chi: "You are a free man, not a tool or an object. You can do whatever you want, and you have no obligation to accompany me."

"But I want to be with you." Xu Chi said.

"You're with me, but you don't love me. Your company will only make me sadder."

Because he didn't know what love was, Xu Chi didn't understand what he was awkward about.

Zhou Qi's shoulders slumped, and the fire in his eyes disappeared.He suddenly felt that it was very unfair. He was the one he loved from the beginning to the end, and now he is the one who hurts in his heart.Xu Chi is different, he doesn't know how to love, and he doesn't know how to hurt. To a certain extent, he can be said to be a unique piece of luck.

This sentence may have brought a great shock to Xu Chi.

With a stiff face, he stood there for a long time, finally nodded stiffly, and said four words: "As you wish."

Then Zhou Qi heard a slight sound like a paper bag bursting in his heart, but its power was stronger than an anthrax bomb.

After all that was said, the two had nothing to say.

Looking around, it was desolate.

The aerial stage was set up to look like a wedding venue, full of sticky veils, corroded pews, the remains of flowers, and fetid desserts.

Before the underwater city suffered great changes and fell into the bottom of the sea, a wedding full of guests was apparently being held here.

At the end of the long red carpet was a huge poster, the faces of the bride and groom were blurred and unrecognizable.

There are no sea monsters here, no clues.

Zhou Qi wandered around in a daze for a long time, and accidentally knocked down a long table with desserts on both sides, and a rectangular ornament fell to the ground, making a crisp sound when it collided with the tile floor.

He slowly came back to his senses, squatted down, picked up the ornaments, and brushed off the mud on the surface with his hands.

It's a metal picture frame with a picture embedded in it.

A woman in a gorgeous wedding dress is holding her other half's arm, talking and laughing brightly.

Zhou Qi froze for a moment, probably because the woman's smile was so blissful that it transcended reality, and he was a little dazed.After a moment of ecstasy, he blinked, and turned his thumb to wipe the dirty things covering the groom's face.

At the same time, Xu Chi on the opposite side stepped on something, and with a creak, Xu Chi's expression changed and he froze for a moment.

A beam of light penetrated the gray sea water and hit the curtain that had long been corroded into rags.

The images sealed by time reappeared after a long absence.

The fragrance of clothes and shadows on the temples, the interlacing of cups and cups, and the melodious music of the wedding march suddenly sounded in the cold space.

"This is a sensational wedding of the century. Our lovely and respectable princess is finally here today, walking into the palace of marriage hand in hand with her destined lover." The wedding host said the opening remarks in a strange cadence, "On this extraordinary day, this enthusiastic coastal city welcomes the biggest festival in its history. Residents spontaneously gathered here, and distinguished guests came from far and wide to offer their sincerest wishes to Her Royal Highness and her companions. blessing of."

As soon as the camera turned, there were crowds of people around the stage and under the chrome-plated steel tower.

There is nothing like this when the whole city is mobilized and thousands of people are empty.

After another long series of enthusiastic speeches, the host finally got to the point: "Now, let us welcome our lucky groom!"

The camera pauses for a few seconds at the end of an empty walkway.

Xu Chi had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Groom? Haha, our groom is a bit shy, let's give him a little applause for encouragement!"

Immediately, the audience applauded thunderously.

However, the groom is still reluctant to show up.

The embarrassment and cold sweat on the host's face can be clearly seen through the projection.

Suddenly, amidst the applause, there was a real dull thunder.

With a bang, something exploded underground.

Afterwards, the commotion started, the images shook violently, the sizzling electric noise disturbed people, the camera swayed uncontrollably, and all the swayed faces were dazed or panicked.

Finally, with a click, the stage fell into darkness again, and the projection stopped abruptly.

"It's over." Xu Chi leaned against the edge of the long table, crossing his legs, "The city sank before the wedding officially started."

"What a coincidence, it just happened to be the day when everyone came to the wedding, and successfully carried out a precise strike to maximize the loss." Zhou Qi stood up, shook the photo frame in his hand, and made an exaggerated gesture with his arms outstretched. Gesture, "boom—everyone is instantly reduced to the funeral objects of this hapless city, except for one person."

On the empty stage, Didi's flashing red projector was scrapped after completing its final mission.Xu Chi raised his hand and touched Weiliang's earlobe: "The groom who was absent from the wedding."
