【Thousand Fantasy】Bat

?If I were ███████ would you still love me?

"Why are you here?" Huan withdrew his hand, and most of the wine was sober.

Alcohol is a poison that targets the human nervous system and various organs.However, it has little effect on phantoms.And as he grows older, all substances that affect the human body have less and less effect on him.When he was a child, he used to steal his father's wine when he was very drunk.At that time, I felt dizzy and fell asleep soon.

Now, his drunk time is getting shorter and shorter.He wondered if this meant that the "human" part of him was getting less and less.

With that bit of alcohol, he was bored and pinched all the puppets in the bar into the appearance of Qian Kong.When he realized that Qian Kong himself was in front of him, he was shocked, and the drunkenness disappeared.

He wanted to take back the Ishigami Senku doll that shuttled back and forth, but felt that it might be too late.Chiku had already seen everything.

"I need your help." Qiankong ignored a counterfeit product passing by him, sat down on the bar stool, took out the petrochemical device in his pocket, and placed it between the two of them: "After studying for a week, I still haven't figured out how to use it. What the hell is it. I said, this thing is not really magical, is it? Do you know what is engraved on it?"

Scientists who believe that existence is reasonable seem to have naturally accepted the existence of such things as magic power.But in Huan's ears, these words are still a temptation to himself.

He picked up the petrified device, and it only took a little magic, and the little thing resonated with him in his hands.White light emitted from his hand, instantly petrifying the hand that Qian Kong handed over.However, the petrification did not continue to spread to Qiankong's whole body, but stopped at his elbow in time.Gen ran a hand over his arm, and the petrified surface crumbled apart.

"I don't know the words, but the petrochemical device does have magic power, it is not something that belongs to humans." Huan said, returning the petrochemical device, which is considered to have answered Qian Kong's question.

They are all smart people, so there is no point in hiding them.He thought, anyway, now that Qian Kong already knew that he was not an ordinary human being, he wouldn't believe him if he made excuses or made up reasons.

"Is there anything else I want to ask? You are free today, and you will have to pay when you come next time." He saw that the other party had no intention of leaving, but surprisingly, his mood didn't fluctuate much.Qiankong sat across from him, calmly watching a part of his body being petrified, and then unpetrozed by him.

I've done nothing wrong, the demon thought.

He came here just to figure out what he was.Just like my father was trying desperately to figure out what a mother was.But what if we figured it out?Human beings' only reaction to creatures like demons is fear.

And maybe disgust.

Human beings are weak and pathetic, but they try their best to make themselves stronger.Build weapons, occupy territory, compete for resources, and rule the world.They think they are the lord of all things, above all life.Once a stronger life appears, their wrong values ​​will collapse, and then collapse.

Don't scientists also believe that human science can explain everything in this world?

Qian Kong could tell that Huan's tone was very distant, and he was deliberately putting a distance between the two of them.The eyes that once charmed him no longer looked directly at him, and under the dim light, they were once again covered with blue melancholy.He said: "The last question, I will leave after asking."

Huan lowered his eyes: "You ask."

Gen also didn't know how to explain it.Did it start from the day my father went crazy and tried to kill him?Or did he find out that the boy he caught the squirrel carcass at lunch cut open his skin with a paper knife, but the wound healed itself in the next second?

His mother told him she was a demon.Then I, who owns half of her blood, should also be counted.

He poured the last bit of wine from the bottle in front of him into the glass, trying to add some ice.There was only melted water in the ice bucket.Qian Kong moved away the wine bottle in front of him that blocked Huan's face, and said, "I want to know, do you still like me?"

Gen raised his eyes, and met Chisora ​​who had been staring at him since just now.He was taken aback, having never expected this question.

"Why do you ask this?" His eyes dodged and wandered to the empty cup in front of him.

If it was in the past, he would definitely answer with a contemptuous smile: How is it possible?How can I like humans.

In fact, when he heard this question, he subconsciously felt that this was the answer.But he never said it.Because he didn't know whether he liked Qian Kong or not.

He said he likes Senku many times.The human mind cannot resist using sweet words as a means of aggression, so he will easily hand over the word like.Like this is an important step in the game, he has to do it.He only enjoys the game process and looks forward to the reward after clearing the level.Everything else is not important.

He originally thought so.

"I always think of you these days." Qian Kong said, laughing: "Thinking of the day we met here for the first time, you sat opposite me like this."

Me too, Huan thought to himself.

"Thinking of the way you stood outside the convenience store with the cat in your arms that day. Thinking about it now, you may have come to find me on a special trip."

Me too, and I'll also think of you letting that black cat that everyone avoids eat your dinner, and telling me that demons exist just as well as humans and other animals.

"Thinking of you helping me with ideas and teaching me what to do to convince those stubborn old Qihai family to agree to be petrified again. I am really grateful to you about the dragon water."

Me too, I have never done something in such a tacit agreement with any human... no, any "other" other than "me".

"I think I like you, that's why I miss you all the time."

I……

"What about you? Do you still like me?"

Senku held his hand on the bar, it was still cold because it doesn't generate heat like a human.The five knuckle fingers curled up, trying to hide themselves in the palm of the hand.Senku gently stretched them out with his own hand, and then clasped this hand.

He half-body crossed the bar to kiss Huan.The latter neither dodges nor responds, just like the puppet he made, just let the other party kiss in a daze.When Qian Kong's tongue was about to pry his lips open, he pushed him away: "No!"

His heart beat wildly again.It's strange, after meeting Qiankong, his heartbeat always beat like this, and he was about to become like a human being.

"What? Don't you like me?" Qian Kong asked.

"No...but don't kiss me."

Gen suddenly understands that since that day when he didn't want to kiss Qian Kong, he has fallen in love with Qian Kong.Just because he likes it, he is afraid of the other party's desire for him, just because of the demon's own ability to charm.He was afraid that Qiankong would wake up suddenly and realize that he was only momentarily dominated by an irresistible force of human beings, and lost himself, so he would be distracted and infatuated.

Just like his father regretted so much during the years of raising him.He decided that he didn't have any affection for his mother, and everything that happened between them was nothing more than a poor human being's behavior against his will after being bewitched.

Sometimes he wants to ask, have you never loved your mother at all?In order to clarify this problem, he went to the white house where his father was imprisoned for the rest of his life countless times.All he saw was a haggard middle-aged man, staring blankly out the window.

Human beings are like that.No matter what Qian Kong said, when he realizes what is in front of him, it will become like this.

"I know that every time I kiss you, I will not be sober." Qian Kong took his hand: "But it's okay this time."

He went around to the inside of the bar, but Gen still hadn't escaped.He guessed that if Gen was willing, he would probably disappear completely from his eyes like a magic trick.But he didn't escape.This time it was replaced by him being hugged stiffly and helplessly.

"Why, did you give up thinking?" Qian Kong laughed.He didn't know what Huan was thinking, but he also didn't know what Huan was thinking before.

The only thing he knows is that Ruuohuan is really just teasing him, and now he won't show such an expression.

He kissed him and was not rejected again this time.Gen finally raised his arms to hug him, clutching his clothes so tightly that his white knuckles were exposed.It's as if if you let go, you'll lose him.

The kiss quickly took effect, and Senku began to lose control of his breathing.The man who made him unable to contain himself said in his ear: "They are all watching."

"Anyway... none of them are real people, just look at them."

He thought, he doesn't care.Whether it's the dolls around watching them make love here with blank eyes, or what kind of existence is this person in his arms.Nothing can influence his will.This is his first love, so he wants to be with this person.

And he had already heard Gen's answer.

The devil thought that he had completely lost consciousness, so he leaned on the bar and buried his face in his arms, and confessed in a low voice: "I like you too."

Unlike the lies he uttered in the past to achieve his goal, Gen never knew how difficult it is to speak the truth.He suddenly wondered, did his mother love his father so sincerely?If so, then when she left, she didn't know how desperate she must have been.

Just like myself now.

He is a bat in the silent night, he should not look forward to the sun.Although the feeling of the sun bathing on the body is indeed very warm, it is so warm that people are greedy.But his dark and ugly appearance will also be exposed to the sun just like that.

Will the sun tolerate bats?

He cupped Qianku's face and kissed him one last time.

The music from the old record player stopped, and Senku sat against the wall, looking at the empty room in front of him.A thick cobweb has formed in the corner of the wall, and a moth that broke in from the vent hole is struggling on it.

Phantom disappeared.

He walked outside the door of the "Ghost Lantern" and saw that the luminous characters were still there.It just doesn't light up anymore.Then he went to the parking lot outside the bar alone, and found that the inside was also empty, only his car was parked in the first parking space at the entrance by a waiter who looked very similar to him.

Back at the research institute, Qiankong sat in his office, playing with the petrochemical device that he finally took from the thorn.If it wasn't for the thing remaining in place after the phantom disappeared, he would almost have thought that something was wrong with his mind, and he had a huge hallucination.

Forget it, maybe it really was an illusion.After getting out of the illusion, it's time to get back on the right track of life.

A few days later, Qiankong received a call from Longshui.Thorn did not show up for the transaction.

Long Shui intends to continue the previous plan and round up Thorn with the police when he appears in the human trafficking.Convicting him is the best way to completely defeat him.However, the young master of the Qihai family has no idea how likely this matter is to succeed.If something like that happened before, the thorns would definitely lie dormant temporarily in order to protect themselves.

"The transaction is still going on as usual, but it is his confidant named Bai Tong who came forward." From the phone, you can hear how embarrassing Long Shui is: "People have been arrested, but there is no evidence that Thorn is related to this matter. .He is smart enough to pick himself clean."

"Where is Thorn Man during the transaction?" Qian Kong asked casually.

"I don't know, he disappeared, and the people in the organization don't know where he went, and no matter what means they can't pry their mouths open." Long Shui said angrily.

"Master, what method did you use?" Qian Kong raised his eyebrows.

Long Shui laughed perfunctorily a few times, and then said seriously: "Qian Kong, I advise you to be careful recently, I always feel that this is not right. With the character of thorns and thorns, he should be very resentful about me about the petrochemical plant."

"I'm not from the Dao, so he will attack me?" Qian Kong plucked his ears nonchalantly.

"It's not impossible. Qian Kong, let me tell you seriously, Thorn's whereabouts have been missing recently, and I don't know what he is planning. You really have to be careful. How about I send a few people to the research institute to follow you?"

"It's really unnecessary. In a place like the research institute, there are customers coming and going every day. What does it sound like if they see a group of gangsters following me. Besides, the students will be afraid."

After hanging up Longshui's phone, Qiankong couldn't help but glanced out of the window—the huge floor-to-ceiling windows were facing the gate of the research institute, and the wind and sea were calm there, only the shadow of the gate was stretched by the setting sun.

Of course Thorn would not be so stupid as to lead people directly into the research institute.As long as the petrochemical device is still in Qian Kong's hands, no matter how many people come, the whole army will be wiped out.

Just as he was thinking this, Senku heard the sound of receiving an email from his computer.

Assistants need to send him reports by e-mail, so he is used to turning on the notification sound to the maximum to avoid delaying work.After a ding dong, he returned to his seat and found that the email was sent from an unfamiliar mailbox.

He opened the email, and there were a few old photos inside.Operating the mouse to slide down, he found that these photos seemed to be movie posters of the same actress.However, the times are quite long ago, looking at the design of the poster, it seems to be the style before I was born.

The actress looked familiar, he thought, like a member of a girl idol group that had recently become popular.

When the mouse slides to the last picture, things in the picture have changed.It was a glass bottle filled with liquid, and inside it was the heart of an unknown animal.However, it is different from ordinary specimens.The color of this heart looks very bright, and there is no breath of death at all.In photos, it looks like it's alive.

At this time, the second email was sent, still from the same sender.

There was only one sentence in the email: I know everything about Qian Wuhuan.
