[Science Fiction] Escape from Paint City

At this time, a gust of cool wind hit, Shui Chen wiped his sweat-blurred vision, and saw a person sitting on a small stone bench under the cherry tree, it was Sha Qianxing.

He was wearing a black slim-fit shirt and light brown slacks.The clothes were a little small, and the top two buttons were unbuttoned. Coupled with the two obvious new bloodstains on the cheeks and the dark red strangle marks on the neck, it was a bit wild and abusive.

This suit... seems to belong to me?

Shuichen imagined all kinds of meeting scenarios, but unexpectedly, when they actually met, this sentence popped into his mind.

It looks really sexy, like being tightly wrapped by my breath, allowing me to directly touch every part of his body, Shui Chen thought in his heart.

--split line--

Ever since he separated from Shui Chen last night, Sha Qianxing has been hunted down by Qicheng people.His existence was discovered by Zhinao, and without Shuichen by his side, the people of Qicheng could feel the traces of his stay all the way. Fortunately, Shuichen's clothes were used as a short-term breath cover to allow Sha Qianxing Take a breather while fleeing.

The constant fighting and escaping made him exhausted, and his body was covered with bruises and wounds. The most dangerous time, a little girl squatted in the hole of the big tree he was leaning against.Sha Qianxing was almost strangled to death by her with a rope.

Avoiding all pursuit, Sha Qianxing finally returned to the small building in Tangzi, a pawn shop.

This is Shuichen's private domain, protected by Shuichen's strong aura, finally makes Sha Qianxing temporarily safe.

The puppets who had lost their target resumed their fixed-trajectory patrols, and returned to their respective houses until dawn to regain their individual consciousness.

Sha Qianxing treated the wound hastily in the small building. After washing his body, he took out a set of clothes from the closet, rested until dawn, and then went out again to deliver a message to Shuichen.

Sha Qianxing knew that his memory had been tampered with when he saw Shui Chen's expression after following the crowd in the morning.But now that he has been in contact with him, Sha Qianxing believes that Shui Chen will definitely find out that something is wrong and come to him again.

Although they have only been together for less than a day and Shui Chen has lost his memory, the two still behave in a tacit understanding.

--split line--

Shuichen approached slowly, and Sha Qianxing raised his head and stared at him without speaking, waiting for Shuichen to ask something.

When they were two meters away, Shui Chen stopped and asked Sha Qianxing a question with a serious expression.

"who are you?"

"I am your admirer."

Sha Qianxing didn't care about Shuichen's cold face at all, with soft eyes, he said with a smile.

His eyes were full of affection, and there seemed to be a flowing galaxy in his eyes, shining brightly.

The same scene, the same opening line, but the serious face and the smiling face are switched.The breeze was blowing, disturbing the breathing of the two of them.

"Oh? Not a student?"

"It's also a student, but it's just an apprenticeship, and it doesn't have the talent for painting. It's not as good as the teacher, so it can't be regarded as a qualified student."

Shui Chen ignored Sha Qianxing's compliment and said with a frown.

"I don't remember you, besides, I haven't touched a paintbrush for three years, so how can I have you as a student?"

Shui Chen was actually not so sure in his heart, and even had some doubts.Facing Tan Ling's death, he had suffered and regretted it, but he would never back down.Persistence in painting, in-depth research on Tan Ling's whereabouts, and the outside world, he will never give up.

"Brother Chen, this is your studio, you will know when you go in and have a look."

Sha Qianxing pointed to the small building behind him and said.

This title made Shui Chen stunned for a moment, his expression relaxed, and he never tensed up again.

"By the way, also deal with the lower ankle injury."

Sha Qianxing had noticed Shui Chen's dirty clothes and swollen ankles a long time ago, and thought to himself, it seems that it is not easy for Brother Chen to come out alone.

Shuichen hesitated, but still followed Sha Qianxing into the small building.

The first floor was still the same, Sha Qianxing asked Shuichen to sit, and he went to the refrigerator to get ice cubes, squatted down, and applied it to his swollen ankles.

The cold touch made Shui Chen's body shrink reflexively, but he didn't repel Sha Qianxing's approach psychologically.

"My name is Sha Qianxing, and I am a soldier."

"I am indeed not from Qicheng. I came here for you, to know everything about you, and to help you restore your original memory. Only after you restore your memory can you help me complete the protection task."

"Your memory was tampered with by the Scientific Affairs Office, and it happened more than once."

"And—I'd like to be your model."

When it came to the last sentence, Sha Qianxing's tone changed from serious to soft, with a rare mischievous smile on his face.

Shuichen choked on the question he wanted to ask, thinking to himself, it seems that he knows himself very well, even his own interest in his body is clear.

"Then—is Tan Ling still alive?"

Shui Chen eagerly asked the question he wanted to know the most. He could feel his interest and desire for the black mist, but he was extremely afraid of it.

"He died in the black mist, but this mist is not that mist. Only when you leave here, can you know the truth of Tan Chen's death."

The implication of Sha Qianxing's words is that Shui Chen's belief that Tan Chen's death was misleading by outsiders is false.

Before finding the evidence and witnessing it with his own eyes, Shui Chen still wouldn't give up on finding Tan Ling.However, what Sha Qianxing said was exactly the opposite of what the Science Affairs Office said. Shui Chen was still not sure who was right.

Sha Qianxing made him feel very close, Shui Chen thought, he longed to touch him from the bottom of his heart, which was different from the feeling Tan Ma gave him, which made him emotionally biased.

Suddenly there was an impulse in his heart, he stretched out his hand, stroked Sha Qianxing's hair, and moved his finger down, his fingertips across his eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, stayed on his lips for a long time, pressed slightly, Feel the soft touch and the moist feeling brought by slightly parted lips.His fingers continued to slide down to the neck, stroking along Sha Qianxing with bruised strangle marks.

The scar reminded him of the two corpses he saw this morning.Sha Qianxing was injured, and the people of Qicheng died. Although he was emotionally inclined towards Sha Qianxing, he didn't want his heart to be a murderer.

Sha Qianxing still squatted motionless, letting Shuichen touch his skin, followed his movements and raised his head slightly, his Adam's apple slipped due to swallowing saliva.

"Did you kill someone?"

Shuichen stared at Sha Qianxing's face obsessively, stroking his neck and collarbone back and forth with his palm.

"No."

Sha Qianxing shook his head.Since Shui Chen is still living here, he can't rashly kill other people.

"Their bodies are controlled, and if they exceed their potential, they will collapse and die."

At that time, the little girl strangled Sha Qianxing with a rope, and her strength far exceeded her physical potential. When Sha Qianxing threw her to the ground and untied the rope, the little girl's potential was exhausted, and her body couldn't bear it. died.

"controlled?"

Shui Chen withdrew his hand and asked with a frown.

Sha Qianxing's answer was a bit outrageous, but thinking that every word and deed seemed to be prescribed, and other people who followed the procedures, Shui Chen secretly accepted this answer.

Mom and Dad, those neighbors, are they real?

For the first time, this kind of question took root in Shuichen's heart, and he no longer avoided it.

"Qicheng has been debugged, you can take a look with me at night and you will know."

All of this must be seen by Shuichen with his own eyes, felt by himself, and believed, in order to discover the truth.

"it is good."

Shui Chen responded and nodded.

--split line--

After applying ice cubes for a while, Shuichen felt that his ankle was much better.He stood up, stamped his feet in place, and began to walk around the house.

"The second floor is your studio, all the oil paintings are there, only the one by Tan Ling is nailed in the closet, I didn't touch it."

Sha Qianxing explained, also stood up, and walked with Shuichen.

Shuichen first went to see Tan Chen's oil painting, looked at it quietly for a while, and then closed the wardrobe door.

Tan Chen's past replayed in his mind again, and Shuichen thought in his heart that he would definitely find out the truth about Tan Chen's death.

"I must have painted for you before, right?"

Adhering to the principle that the person who will become the subject of his paintings must be taken seriously by him, Shui Chen's expression relaxed a lot.While secretly canceling the scheduled news, he chatted with Sha Qianxing and went up to the second floor.

"Well, it was just yesterday."

yesterday?Shui Chen was surprised, and at the same time saw the oil painting still drying on the easel in the middle of the room.

I am very familiar with my own painting style and brushwork, and Shui Chen is sure that this oil painting is from him.

Then there is a problem in my mind about the memory of living in the Tan family, Shui Chen thought and asked.

"What the hell happened yesterday?"

Sha Qianxing told Shuichen all about yesterday, and conjectured that Shuichen's memory might have been tampered with after he escaped.

"So, I didn't remember Tan Ling at all before, and I didn't remember the Tan family?"

Shui Chen frowned, and found that the memory was completely messed up.He has no memory of everything Sha Qianxing said, and judging from his previous experience, his memory is not reliable at all.

"What about before that? Is the memory of me living in Qicheng since I was a child, is it real? Do I exist in real life, or was it created by someone? What about you, where did you come from?"

Shuichen felt that everything he remembered could be false, his parents, Qin's father and mother, other people in Qicheng, and even... himself.

When the memory is no longer reliable, a person has no past and no existence, so what is this person?

Shui Chen fell into extreme restlessness at the moment, he was leaning against the easel, his face was clouded.

He thought to himself, is Sha Qianxing in front of him real? Could it be that he himself has been forged, and what he told himself has been falsified, even this studio and this world are forged?

Shuichen fell into infinite doubts, looking at the scenery outside the window, thinking, maybe the world I thought was just like the scenery in front of me, just a part framed for display?

Sha Qianxing went forward and knelt down in front of Shui Chen, his hands pinched Shui Chen's shoulders fiercely, forcing him to recover.The two looked at each other, so close that they could breathe each other's breath.

"Brother Chen, you are doubting yourself. This in itself proves that you exist. It doesn't matter what form you are in, and we don't consider it now. I promised you to inquire about the Science and Technology Office. If you want to , let's go now. I will accompany you to do what you want to do, and at the end, you will know the truth."

And who can prove that the world you think is the real world, and the self you think is the real self?

Shui Chen reluctantly nodded and said, "I want to go back to Tan's house first."

The author has something to say: This chapter is a bit philosophical at the end, but I just follow the trend, I don’t know anything about philosophy

Our brother Chen always has "color" glasses when he sees Qianxing, and feels that the other party's sex/sentiment value and color/gas value are off the charts

The development of the plot to this point is really out of the outline of the wild horse. It is already far away from my first set, and I don’t know how many sets should be counted.

I also put the manuscript in the manuscript box in advance today, I am happy to be able to update it on time~
