[Comprehensive] Doudou, you don't understand love

The day when I saw Qiao Niu for the last time - Tang Xiaodou can't remember when - seems to have passed for a long time.

Every day was muddled, and even the memory began to blur due to frequent mental hallucinations.

She closed her eyes, trying to sort out some clues in her mind, and then a slight tinnitus sounded deep in her eardrum.

In the pitch-black field of vision with closed eyes, the scene that gradually appeared was blurred and dilapidated, as if covered with a layer of dirty old glass.

That was the last day she saw Gnaw, in the dark underground of the Lord of Worry's building.

At that time, they had just experienced a torture that was no less than death.They had just survived the night after Cunning was "infected", but in the end he didn't mutate, but returned to health.After that, before they had time to explore the reason, they encountered the worrying congress that broke in in the ammunition depot.

The chaotic fragments kept flashing alternately in the sea of ​​consciousness, and a cold voice echoed in the depths of the brain.

The remnants of the demolished steel door splashed, and the guns cut through the darkness and flew towards them, bursting into bright light.

The events of that day were repeated exactly.

In her blind vision, she saw a pure white figure.

[Cunning and careful. 】

【reload...】

【*100*】

[Target person, cunning Shenye. 】

[...he ending has been achieved. 】

[Number of forced escapes from the world: 1.Cumulative he times: 2. 】

【...The cumulative number of rule violations: 3 times. 】

[The reward and punishment mechanism is forced to open. 】

[Now, the final settlement will be carried out...]

【...The countdown to leaving the world begins. 】

She heard the reminder that she had reached the agreement with the gnawing he - plus her previous two violations, a total of three violations, she reached the condition of being "erased".

——Suddenly, the illusion in front of him was instantly swallowed up by darkness.

She was forced to "break away" from the world; and before her consciousness sank in the darkness for too long, she heard the prompt that she would be punished forever.

When she opened her eyes again, she didn't see the dead world, nor did she see where she really came from, the place she always wanted to go back to.

Gradually regaining clear vision, the pure white figure still stands.

Then it slowly condensed into the appearance of Makishima Shōgo.

He stood in the backlight and looked at her, having a bizarre vision as if descended from a god.

And she will stay in this world forever.

……

The hallucination suddenly dissipated, and she woke up and opened her eyes.

She was standing in the middle of a dimly lit corridor with only a little light coming in from the narrow top windows on either side.

After being dazed for a long time, she adapted to the sense of dislocation from falling into hallucinations to returning to reality for the umpteenth time.

——Like Kochi, Makishima miraculously recovered after being infected.After being wounded and escaping from the abandoned factory, he joined the survivors and entered the Congress of Worry, and became the "leader" within the Congress of Worry.On the day she and Kou sneaked into the base of the worrying congress, Makishima, who had fully recovered, had already woven a hunting net and led a small group of worrying troops to hunt them down continuously, so they could continue to "hunt" them to the ammunition depot after the stairs collapsed.

Footsteps sounded from the direction at the end of the corridor.

She turned her head following the sound, and saw a thin girl in the uniform of the medical department coming out of the corner of the corridor.When the eyes of the two met, the girl was startled, "He...Miss Heliu? Why haven't you gone to rest yet?"

Hearing the title "Miss Heliu", she frowned and asked her, "Why am I here?"

The girl showed a nervous expression: "Half an hour ago, after you led the team out to clean the surrounding area in the afternoon and came back, you said you were going to the medical department to find Mr. Makishima. I told you that Mr. Makishima hadn't come back yet, so you said to go to the medical department first. Rest there and wait for him..."

"I see." Tang Xiaodou interrupted the other party, turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

That's the direction to the "Medical Department".

In addition to the "Medical Department", there are the Ministry of Science, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Labor, and a series of departments whose functions are well-known at first glance-the Ministry of Labor organizes survivors without combat capabilities to grow food that can sustain life and use natural materials to create other life Necessities; the medical department is composed of doctors and volunteers, producing medicines that can be produced under existing conditions, and providing medical services for survivors; the science department gathers people with outstanding talents in different professional fields.

And the creator of all this is naturally Makishima.

After he integrated into the Congress of Worry in the early days, he quickly won the command of a part of the armed forces by relying on his extraordinary mind and leadership, and used this power as the initial capital to continuously absorb survivors and annex the surrounding "regime". And the survivors are effectively divided into units.

The structure is concise and clear, comprehensive and well-ordered, and now he has successfully established a "country" with all internal organs.

If we only look at its way of existence, this "country" established by the real demons in this world seems to be the last paradise-like habitat for human beings.

In just a few years, the talents of the Ministry of Science have already reached a considerable scale.Under the slogan of "revival of civilization", they compiled teaching materials while conducting scientific research, selected survivors for education, established a crude but effective talent production system in a short period of time, and compiled a "survival law" to formulate A series of brief laws including division of labor, mandatory patrol rules, etc., have made this survivor base "ruled" by Makishima continue to grow to what it is today, and he himself has become the leader of all survivors—even future survivors. Possibly the belief of "all mankind".

He has all the conditions for a leader: intelligence, erudition, tolerance, calmness, and a quality that normal people do not have-absolute justice without emotion.

However, having these may not be enough for a person to truly climb to the top and become a "god" in this world; he also possesses another miraculous ability, making him the only one who can create a "kingdom" in this deformed world. ", the unique "God".

He is the only "immune".

Even if all human beings become walking dead, he can still survive and retain human wisdom and emotion—he is the only person with an immortal spirit and soul in the doomsday of mankind, so it is logical to become the spiritual pillar of the survivors , and the last line of defense of faith.

His existence means that "human beings" will not become extinct.

Thinking of this, she stopped in her tracks and calmly looked out of the corridor window, her eyes fell on the armed men who were jogging and exercising in the square.

Until now, the reason why Makijima and Kouchi would not be infected has not been clarified.Maybe it was because none of them belonged to this world—but she didn't need to find out why now.

Because since that day she and Qiao Yao were captured by Makishima's leader, she has never seen Qiao Yao again.

……

The medical department located in the center of the base was transformed from a small hospital. It was the core area of ​​the entire fortress and was guarded by heavy guards, strictly restricting the access of ordinary survivors.

With Makishima's permission, Tang Xiaodou has no restrictions in the entire fortress, nor does he need to abide by any laws, and holds theocratic power completely.When she entered the medical department, she passed unimpeded all the way. The outside guards were respectful, but most of the internal nurses and doctors had a slight sense of fear towards her and seemed very nervous.

She ignored it and went straight to the drug management office, but before she could negotiate with the person in charge, she saw Makishima who was looking through the documents and files in the office.

Seeing her coming in, Makishima looked up at her from the paperwork, with a disgusting insight in her eyes that seemed to predict her coming.

And he didn't catch the calm disgust on her expression, and said calmly: "The hallucination symptoms that have appeared so far are all psychological problems that can be overcome. I have already communicated with the medical department, and then they will start to stop you. medicine."

She has to rely on drugs.But refuting is also meaningless, and Makishima will not change his mind.There was no need for her to say another word in this uninteresting situation, but she needed to say something.

She was absent-minded for a moment and said, "You spent three hours in the morning waiting for me to 'wake up.'"

Makishima lowered his head, flipped through a page of the file in his hand, and said slowly: "The new area has been cleaned up, and there is more free time available. I thought that there were no goals to be completed for the time being, but seeing your Health condition, changed my mind again."

The doctor accompanying Makishima glanced at her in embarrassment, then looked at Makishima again, and reminded in a low voice: "Sir, it is already six o'clock in the afternoon. You can read the documents tomorrow, and the existing lighting will cause damage to your eyes." damage."

Hearing these words, Tang Xiaodou's eyes fell on the candlestick tied to the porch lamp - this scene was a bit out of character, but she was used to it.

This is because Japan suffered a bmp high-altitude nuclear explosion attack a long time ago, and all circuits were completely damaged.Without electricity and lighting, all electronic products are scrapped, and Japan has been plunged into eternal night.At present, even traditional lighting tools are very scarce, so the Ministry of Science has specially set up a no-light period, and at the same time strictly stipulated the work and rest schedule of ordinary survivors to save energy to the greatest extent.

Looking back at Makishima, I saw him smiling faintly.

Seeing his expression, the doctor on the side asked suspiciously, "Is there anything to be happy about, Mr. Makishima?"

"Once upon a time," Makishima replied casually while browsing the documents spread out in his hand, "I was in a place where all injuries could be healed and any damage could be repaired. Technology has regulated everyone's behavior, from Crime has been eliminated at the root, and health and lifespan can even be manipulated. However, in my opinion, because of this, the meaning of life has become frivolous and sloppy. Although the current situation is difficult, it can be consumed and cannot be corrected. life, I like it very much.”

Having said that, he raised his eyes to look at the doctor. "Go and see how the patrol is doing."

The latter obviously failed to understand what Makishima meant, so he had to say goodbye in a low voice, and hurriedly left the archives room.

The archives were silent again.

Makishima suddenly stopped the fingers flipping the document.

"A week ago, armed survivors invaded the cultivated fields in area b201. You were responsible for the cleaning work. After that, you submitted the drug application and medical application to the management office." He glanced at the data on the file. "After the injury, how is the treatment going?"

While speaking, he put down the file in his hand and walked up to her.

As he watched, she lifted one side of her hair to reveal a freshly healed scar on the side of her neck.

He lowered his eyes to look at the scar extending from her side neck to the neckline, and raised his hand to pinch the buttons on her chest.

This kind of thing is done by Makishima, so naturally there is nothing worth mentioning.She was also used to it, allowing him to unbutton the buttons one by one until revealing a large shoulder and neck and some hideous interlaced scars on it.

Only when he pressed his icy fingers on the back of her neck did she react slightly, and turned her gaze back to him, watching him carefully examine the wound on her shoulder and neck, as if examining a piece of clothing placed on her neck. Items in the box.

"I was quite suspicious at one time." His fingers slid across the back of her neck, and then traced a little along the scar on the spine. "You hate this place, and you also hate my existence, but you can abandon the desire to think and live peacefully by my side."

His tone was a little indifferent.

"You like this, I once broke it. However, now I don't think I should do this, because you still seem to have a persistent 'goal'."

She didn't move, as if she was thinking about something.

To this day, she has never had a goal, and she is just alive.

[There is something you must agree to. 】

[... You must work hard to live, and you can't cry and wait for me to rot here. 】

It is not so much a goal as it is a "commitment".

To keep the promise, to live on, to exist—that's all.

She squinted her eyes, and saw the glittering dust dancing on Makishima Shenghu's fine hair.

His cool palm gently touched the back of her head, and the chill penetrated into her skin gradually.
