[Science Fiction] Escape from Paint City

Accompanied by a few barks, the door opened quickly, and a puffy-haired Chow Chow rushed out, sniffling and about to run in the direction of Sha Qianxing, Shui Chen knelt down and hugged the Chow's head. A burst of ravages/ravages also restrained its actions.

Immediately after the sound of footsteps, a middle-aged man and woman in their early forties appeared. They were wearing cotton home clothes. They were exactly the father and mother in Shuichen's memory.

Qin's father and Qin's mother looked depressed, neither of them had a smile on their faces, and their eyebrows were downcast. This kind of depressed state is rarely seen in Qicheng people.However, the two of them didn't look sick. The smart chip would automatically detect the bodies of the residents of Qicheng every day and reject the corresponding diseases. Even the sub-healthy state would not appear, so the two were in good physical condition.

They didn't greet Shui Chen directly, they looked around Shui Chen, and finally stopped at the place where Sha Qianxing was supposed to be standing.The eyes of the two were a little dull, and the blue dot of the chip behind the ear flickered twice.

"Aunt Tan, Uncle Tan?"

Following Shui Chen's greeting, the two came back to their senses, as if they had just seen Shui Chen, Tan's mother greeted him to enter the door, but her expression was a little cold, Tan's father still turned a blind eye, turned around and walked away with a cold snort.

Shui Chen simply hugged the Chow Lion in his arms, deliberately stayed in front of the door for two more seconds, and only walked in together when Sha Qianxing followed.

The door closed behind the two of them.

Shui Ma brings Shui Chen to the living room, while Shui Pa goes to the kitchen to make tea.

The living room is connected on two floors. There are three-meter-high curtains hanging by the window, and a zinc alloy carved glass chandelier hanging on the ceiling. Fifteen light sources are hung on it, all of which are brightly lit. It turned white, and it took a while to regain vision.

Shui Chen and Tan Ma were sitting in front of the coffee table, and Sha Qianxing stood silently behind the sofa where Shui Chen was sitting, making sure that he was not too far away from Shui Chen, and observing Tan Ma's state.

Faced with Tan's mother for the first time after losing relevant memories, Shuichen felt that she was too unfamiliar, and because he was the chief culprit of Qin's death, he couldn't find a suitable topic to start.

The two people who were sitting were silent like this, until Father Qin brought three cups of Zhuyeqing, and put one of them heavily in front of Shuichen, leaving the remaining two cups for Mother Tan and himself.

Qin's father sat next to Qin's mother in silence, occasionally glancing at Shui Chen with disgust and repulsion in his eyes.

Mother Qin clamped her arms and legs tightly, holding a white porcelain teacup without a lid, unconsciously rubbing the rim of the cup, her head slightly lowered, staring at the cup of tea in front of Shuichen.

"It seems that you have remembered everything."

Tan Ma's hoarse voice was like the strings being sawed violently, which made Shui Chen shiver.

"Well. Aunt Qin, I'm sorry, I..."

The words of apology were interrupted, Mother Tan seemed to have finally gathered her strength, she raised her head and looked at Shui Chen with loving eyes, she seemed to be trying to relax her nerves to show friendliness, but her hands were tightly holding the teacup until it was hot and red without knowing it .

"We know that you should not be blamed for the death of Xunchen. You have always been so kind to Xunchen, why did you take him to die..."

At this time, Qin's father suddenly stood up and interrupted Qin's mother.His face was flushed red, he breathed out heavily, his hands clenched into fists, his body tensed like an arrow about to leave the string.

"You still dare to come? Everything is your fault! Why are you still alive when my wife is dead? You ungrateful, wolf-hearted thing!"

"Old Tan, stop talking, sit down quickly."

Mother Tan quickly grabbed Father Tan and forced him to sit down again.Qin's father broke free, turned and walked to the bedroom, the chow in Shuichen's arms also struggled and jumped out of his embrace, and ran after the host.Then there was a bang on the door.

"Hey, don't blame Lao Tan for his attitude. He was very obedient before, and he rarely made trouble when he stayed at home all year round. He was in good health that day, and he clamored to go out with you again. Lao Tan agreed with a soft heart. Well, who knows..."

Speaking of which, Tan's mother finally couldn't help herself, she covered her eyes with one hand and lowered her head sobbing.

Yes, Shui Chen remembered, that day he and Tan Bing made preparations and planned to leave Qicheng together, they firmly believed that stepping into the mist was not death, but really went to the outside world.There, Qin Chen's condition might be cured.

In the end, Tan Ling stepped into the mist, but he hesitated for a moment, and then was stopped by a group of people who came to find something wrong.

Why did I firmly believe that stepping into the mist was not death?Obviously there has never been any news from the outside world, and obviously he has no facts to prove it.

If you step into the mist, you may really die, and there will be nothing left.

Facing the soreness of Tan Chen's death and the sense of guilt towards Qin's father and mother, Shui Chen's heart swelled, causing the heart to shrink like a needle.

This kind of strong emotion made Shuichen's body tremble uncontrollably, and his brain became dizzy for a while, all kinds of memories were mixed together, stirred and peeled off.The chip nodes behind Shuichen's ears flickered with more obvious brightness and frequency, which made him stand upright with goosebumps all over his body, every pore tensed up, his body seemed to lose his intuition, and he couldn't feel himself at all.

Sha Qianxing noticed Shui Chen's abnormality and raised his hand to squeeze his shoulder tightly.Shuichen felt the temperature from his palm slowly seep into his whole body, and finally regained consciousness.

At this time, Sha Qianxing was fully visible, Shui Chen thought of the limitation of the shielding mode, and quickly patted Sha Qianxing's hand to indicate that he was fine.

The moment Sha Qianxing withdrew her hand, Mother Tan stopped crying and looked up, the blue dots on the chip behind her ears began to flicker again, her eyes were slightly squinted, and her sight pierced through Sha Qianxing's position.

Shui Chen's heart was torn in two, he had to get out of the state of self-pity and self-pity, and cover Sha Qianxing.

"Anyway, I brought Xiaopeng out to cause this situation. I should be responsible for Xiaopeng's death. How can I forget all this and live as if nothing happened?"

Tan's mother's attention was attracted again.

"Hey, after Xun Xun died, you couldn't bear the blow, locked yourself in the room all day long, and wanted to take the initiative to step into the mist, saying that you wanted to pay for Xing Xun's life. You are also the one I saw growing up when I was young, how could I I can't bear to see you like this. Besides, you are also a victim. Your parents saw you in too much pain and decided to send you to the Science Affairs Office to have your memory cut, how could I disagree."

Tan's mother choked up and said that she even wanted to get up and touch Shuichen, as if to make sure that the child she also loved was still alive in this world.

Shuichen reflexively made a gesture of pushback, and Mother Tan paused when she got up, and finally sat back on the sofa again, but there was a trace of doubt in her eyes.She smoothed her long black hair with her right hand, moved her index finger and middle finger behind her ears, and conducted a magnetic field analysis on the young man sitting in front of her eyes, whose complexion had not yet fully returned to normal, and sent the results to the Science Affairs Office.

This action was too covert, neither Shui Chen nor Sha Qianxing noticed it.

Hearing Tan Ma's words, Shuichen frowned, and Sha Qianxing's touch brought Shuichen's out-of-control state under control. After the guilt and pain were settled, he began to think about Qin Ma's words.

It was my parents' decision, so I just accepted it?Moreover, Mother Qin said that she was also a victim...

"I've figured it out now, and Auntie doesn't have to hide it from me anymore. It's my responsibility, and I shouldn't avoid it."

Shuichen desperately wants to get more information from the conversation with Tan's mother.He didn't know what he thought before he lost his memory, but for the current self, no matter how tiny the memory was, he was unwilling to lose it.

After the severe headache just now, Shuichen can already recall more memories of activities in Tan's house.

Tan's mother made him cookies, greeted him to drink afternoon tea, and complained to him about Tan Chen's occasional temper; although Qin's father was addicted to Internet dramas most of the time, he would smile and smile when Shuichen came and left. Greeting.

The two families still maintain a close relationship, and the memories reveal warmth everywhere, but Shuichen still feels a little awkward and alienated from Qin's father and mother.

He didn't have the urge to touch Qin's father and mother, nor did he draw an oil painting for them in his memory.Compared with Qin's father and mother, he wanted to know about Qin Chen's situation and everything about Qin Zhen.The oil painting in the closet was filled with my enthusiasm, and that boy was someone I cared about very much.

Shuichen's way of thinking is probably really different from ordinary people. He loves painting too much and puts all his enthusiasm into it.Even the feelings for the people around me are expressed through painting.Painting is the filter through which he sees the world and the anchor of his life.

If it is someone who falls into the category he cares about, he will definitely have the urge to paint for them.

With a calm expression on his face, Shuichen continued to talk with Tan Mama, but his brain was calmly processing Tan Mama's words, looking for as much information as possible.And when Shuichen regained his composure, Sha Qianxing stopped taking any action, reducing the possibility of Tan Ma finding himself.

"Even the Science Affairs Office can't do anything about the disease of Chen Chen. We have given up on it for so many years, and Chen Chen has never mentioned the issue of treatment. I didn't expect him to be obsessed with it. If Lao Tan and I can be more serious Be careful, pay attention to his state of mind, and you might be able to stop him."

Mother Tan's speech still carried a tearful tone.

"I'm really sorry……"

Apart from being sorry, Shuichen couldn't make any excuses, no matter what Tan Ling thought, he was the one who took him away in the end.

Shuichen always has a feeling that it is impossible for him to see Tan Ling again.Whether it is death, or disappearance, cannot be known.

"You are also a victim. If the Science Affairs Office hadn't discovered it in time and we stopped you, two children would have died that day."

Speaking of this, Tan's mother's expression became a little ferocious, and her face looked distorted through the steaming hot tea.

"You were bewitched by others, so you wanted to leave with your clothes. It's not your fault, it's all the fault of that person, it's all the fault of that person!"

Tan Ma's voice suddenly rose, sharp as fingernails scratching on the blackboard.

It's not that she really doesn't hate, but she tries to move this emotion away from Shui Chen, and that mysterious person becomes the best target for fire.

"That person... who is that person?"

Shui Chen couldn't help but lean forward, feeling a little nervous all of a sudden.

"Outsider! An outsider who deserves to be cut to pieces!"

boom--

There was a sudden thunderclap outside the window, and the patter of night rain started to hit the window tick-tock.

Shuichen was stunned and did not move for a long time.He didn't know the expression on Sha Qianxing's face now, and he resisted the urge to look back at him, now was not the time for the two of them to talk.

After Tan Ma said this sentence, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and she didn't slow down for a long time.

Silence spread in the room, and there was a loud noise, and the chandelier above the head was turned off, and the room fell into darkness instantly.

Bursts of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the room from time to time, reflecting Tan Ma's face as pale as a zombie.

"Aunt Qin..."

Shuichen swallowed, and called someone.

The circuit of the house may have tripped, which interrupted his continued questioning, and he made a sound to remind the frozen Mother Tan to check the central processing unit of the house.

dong dong dong-

dong dong dong-

Accompanied by another flash of lightning and thunder, there was a rapid and vigorous knock on the door outside the house.
