[Rat Cat] Eternal Night

Chapter 20 Staying Together in Ningbitian

Bai Yutang opened his eyes, and as expected, he saw a group of white coats surrounding him. Behind him was the tall and burly Lu Fang, who was hugging the little Lu Zhen who was eating a lollipop, and reprimanded Jiang Ping in a low voice.Jiang Ping, with dark circles under his eyes, scratched his dick head with an embarrassing expression.Next to them was Su Hong who was watching coldly, but her face looked haggard.

"No problem, I'll be transferred to the general ward in an hour." Gongsun Ce glanced at Bai Yutang, put the electronic pen in his hand into the pocket of his white coat, and then took a baby with a pacifier from the intern's hand, The little baby was about to cry at the intern's place, but as soon as it got into Gongsun Ce's arms, he hurriedly grasped the hem of his clothes and wouldn't let go, his big eyes were full of attachment.

"Mr. Gongsun..." Bai Yutang stared at the baby, "Zhan Zhao is in the nursery too..."

Gongsun Ce glanced at him indifferently, patted the back of the baby in his arms, and said softly: "No. Pang Tong and Lu Zhu are already relatively old, and it will consume too much time to sneak into your consciousness this time, so we just Nirvana will be advanced."

That's right, Zhan Zhao's age is not too old, so he should still be within the time limit.Bai Yutang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I just got my memory back, and I haven't taken baby-rearing class. Uh, what's wrong with you, fourth brother?"

Jiang Ping's complexion was very bad, even worse than that of Su Hong before.A chill quickly crept up Bai Yutang's back, he lifted the quilt and sat on the side of the bed: "Where's Zhan Zhao? Where's my A-Xia?! What happened?!"

Lu Fang sighed, stuffed Lu Zhen into Jiang Ping's arms, and walked over by himself: "Fifth Brother, listen to me..."

A blank piece of paper was handed over to Bai Yutang—"Application for Terminating the 'A Xia Agreement'". The sponsor was Zhan Zhao, and the approver was Bao Zheng. Zhan Zhao had already signed it.

"How is this possible?!" Bai Yutang grabbed the application and stared at the inscription on it, "How could the cat break the 'A Xia Agreement' with me? Did he not want me? Without my signature, how could it be approved? ! This does not comply with the regulations! I want to see him!" He tore the thin piece of paper, but it was not damaged - the interstellar era has long since stopped using the white paper on the earth, and the electronic screen has been made into a document. It is to express nostalgia for the past.

"Bai Yutang, please be quiet, now no one can see Zhan Zhao except the captain." Gongsun Ce comforted the little Pang Tong in his arms, and said with a frown, "'A Xia's agreement' allows the two of them to be together for a long time. Watching and helping each other, the premise of execution is that both bodies and spirits can be balanced. Zhan Zhao's body can no longer be nirvana, so he can't continue the 'A Xia Agreement' with you."

"Impossible?! How could he leave me?! Why can't I see him, I am his 'A-Xia'!" Bai Yutang searched his memory, his cat was obviously fine and took care of him, Leading him, waiting for him...

"Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao didn't leave." Su Hong frowned and interrupted Bai Yutang's call, "He has become the seventh guide of the starship. From now on, as long as the starship is around for a day, he will live forever."

"We are about to pass through a dense neutron star field, and we need to add a guide. The guide needs to be impartial." Lu Fang avoided Bai Yutang's piercing gaze, "Zhan Zhao's mental strength just meets the requirements. Before... confirm that you are going up After that, he left. He said..."

"What did he say?" Bai Yutang had already calmed down.

"He said, there is no need to send each other off. This is not parting, but staying together, and you will meet again in the end."

"Stay together?" The 19-year-old boy who thought Nine Turns was real, wiped his face and choked up, "Liar, where is such a stay together?"

"Yutang..."

"I want to be alone..."

Everyone looked at each other, and they were a little worried—although the memory of nearly a thousand years has been harvested, Bai Yutang in this life is essentially just a boy who has just turned 19. Is there anything wrong with suddenly losing his dependent guardian? reaction.

"Ah, ah——" Suddenly quiet, little Pang Tong was a little uncomfortable, and the chubby hand tugged at Gongsun Ce's tie.

Gongsun Ce looked down at the little guy, sighed, and left the ward first.The others looked at each other and left one by one.

In the empty ward, only the weeping boy sitting by the bed was left.

Bai Yutang wiped away his tears, looked at the application form in his hand, tore it angrily, jumped out of bed when he couldn't tear it up, and searched for pens all over the room, but it was a pity that the pens in the ward had already been taken away by Gongsun Ce .

Bai Yutang stared at Zhan Zhao's signature on the application form, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't agree, how can there be such a companionship, no, no!" Rexue wrote four large characters under Zhan Zhao's name:

I disagree

After writing these words, he seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed on the carpet.

Bai Yutang turned his head and looked out the window. The starlight outside the huge porthole was dim, because the starship had already entered the extension of the neutron star belt, and light and heat were tightly bound around the neutron star, leaving them, outsiders, an eternal night.If you want to move on in the eternal night, you can only turn yourself into a star.

However, human beings have never been afraid of eternal night, leading the way from generation to generation, turning themselves into stars, and moving forward all the way.

Zhan Zhao, oh Zhan Zhao, you are still the same in the end, even if you wear yourself down, you will never regret it.

Bai Yutang glanced at the application again, the blood on it had dried up, and the tears on his face had also dried up.

====

Perhaps because of the excessive stimulation, after waking up, Bai Yutang's mental power broke through the B-level barrier in one fell swoop, and his body's recovery speed was also improved a lot.If trained effectively, this 19-year-old body is expected to rise to A-level within five years, and by then...

Gongsun Ce flipped through the medical records, both relieved and regretful.Most people's physical fitness is directly proportional to their mental strength, the stronger their strength, the better their health, except for Zhan Zhao.His mental strength is 3S, but his physical fitness has been reduced to F level in the nirvana time and time again. The huge mental pressure weighed heavily on his body.If Bai Yutang had awakened earlier, he would have been able to share part of the pressure, but unfortunately it was too late to say anything now.

"Bai Yutang, after passing the 'final assessment', you can choose your own career direction." Pang Tong was pulling his tie again, and Gongsun Ce simply took off his tie to play with him, "The starship has just entered the periphery of the neutron star belt. It’s not that big yet, as Zhan Zhao’s former ‘Axia’, you have a quota of practitioners, as long as you ask, the bridge will help you operate..."

"No." The silent boy finally spoke.

"What?" Gongsun Ce grabbed little Pangtong's hand and saved the button of his shirt, thinking whether he needed to go back and put the little preserved egg in confinement for two days, but he didn't hear Bai Yutang's words clearly, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's not 'once', I didn't agree." Bai Yutang raised his head and looked at the child in Gongsun Ce's arms, "He is my 'A Xia', and I didn't agree to dissolve our relationship."

Axia is a specific name of a minority in Huaxia Kingdom when the Blue Star Alliance was still on Earth, and it means "eternal promise".Since the first rebellious AI revolution, the surviving humans escaped from the earth on the first and only starships with the help of friendly AI. The guards in charge of the rear were inspired by strong cosmic radiation. Power, but also destroyed the ability to continue the bloodline in the DNA.

After all the guards died, the people on earth who fled their homes in a hurry tried to collect their information.The technology that can be brought out is not yet developed. The people on earth have copied the bodies of most of the guards in batches with limited resources, but there are still some people who are extremely damaged and cannot be copied for the time being.

A Xia's agreement was born at that time. Two people, more precisely, two groups of Honkai genes formed a pair on the premise of voluntary, taking care of each other in childhood and old age, guiding and accompanying each other in life. The genes are repaired in "Nirvana" again and again, and finally become a complete self.

And their memories are kept in the mirror world, and they will be retrieved together when the body after Nirvana performs the "rite of passage".

Asha's agreement is the privilege of the guardians, but also their suffering.How many people are willing to remember the history of nearly a thousand years, remember the departure of lovers and partners again and again, and be alone?

Even if the partner who signs the contract is his lover, who can guarantee that they can still maintain their enthusiasm for each other in the reincarnation?

Therefore, up to now, even if Axia’s agreement has become a social contract that is equally as good as the marriage agreement, most people can only insist on the relationship of the third generation. Too strong, always carrying the memory of Nirvana, and doomed to a short life, maybe they can stay together for a longer time.

Gongsun Ce looked at him sympathetically, and said softly: "He is already a 'guiding person', and the guiding person cannot have any relationship, be it 'A Xia's agreement' or 'marriage agreement', he has already become the leader of the starship." One of the brains needs to be absolutely objective and calm, and cannot..."

"Then why does everyone have a 'final audit'?!" Bai Yutang looked at him firmly, "My 'final audit' is to become a 'dream catcher', sneak into dreams to obtain crystals, and help people regain their dreams." Emotions. In that world, do you know how disgusting and terrifying people without emotions are?! Why did Pang Tong turn into Pang Yuanying and kill you, and why did you turn into that 'Laocoon', you know What?! There is also Su Hong, her mental strength has reached B+, but she was suppressed there so that she could not even protect Lu Zhu, why?! My 'Axia', my cat... Zhan Zhao ...nine times, he died nine times and still didn't let go..."

"That's an error in the value..." Gongsun Ce felt that he couldn't convince himself, but he still tried to speak, "The third 'guide' has been solved, he..."

"Don't mention Zhao Jue to me! He himself is an incomplete spiritual body!" Bai Yutang suddenly stood up, and the little Pang Tong was taken aback when he fell onto the stool. His question, I don’t know if he is still a human being, but he no longer has normal human emotions. How can you make Zhan Zhao a guide?! Do you want Zhan Zhao to become him?!”

"Bai Yutang, sit down for me!" Gongsun Ce shouted, "Can you arrange the guides?! Their sacrifices are unknown to others, don't you know?! They are our brains, and we cannot question them. !"

Feeling the betrayal of the AI, the fleeing humans could not fully trust the friendly AI. Liu E, the female captain with the most spiritual power at the time, stepped forward and uploaded her consciousness to the starship, becoming the first "guide". She leads mankind out of the solar system and into the Milky Way era with the strength unique to women.

The guide cuts off all kinship and company, retains human reason and emotion, and is trapped in day-to-day hard labor like Sisyphus.This is the truth that only a very few insiders know. The general public only knows that the "Sleeping Dreams" is a hall to commemorate heroes, but they never know that their heroes have always been alive, living in pain.

"Mr. Gongsun, I know this part of history." Bai Yutang embraced Pang Tong, and slowly sat down, "After the cat became a guide, this part of history has opened up my authority."

"Zhao Jue is the third 'guide'. He has been in charge of the mirror image assessment. The world he built...maybe it's a sign that people can't lose their emotions." Gongsun Ce straightened his clothes, "His burden is also heavy...the most important thing What's more, Zhan Zhao believed him. We are going to develop and utilize neutron stars, they should have calculated something in advance..."

It's really Zhan Zhao...

Bai Yutang smiled wryly, and returned the little Pang Tong who was writhing in his arms to Gongsun Ce: "Then, I have a wish."

"Tell me……"

"I'm going to be a pilot."

Gongsun Ce's lips twitched a few times, and he said helplessly, "Okay."

A few days later, Bai Yutang was finally allowed to leave the medical ship, and took a small passenger ship back to Bianjing, the starship where he and Zhan Zhao lived.

He drove the car back to the collective apartment in Kaifeng Mansion in Bianjing Ship Bianliang City by himself, went up to the seventh floor, and opened apartment No. 19.Bai Yutang looked around at this small apartment that he had been with for [-] years, but he still didn't enter in the end.

He slowly closed the door, stretched out his hand to cover the house number "9475", and thoughtfully pressed it again and again.

"Bang—" with a soft sound, the door disappeared together with the space behind the door, and apartment No. 9475 became a small capsule.Bai Yutang picked up the capsule, lovingly blew away the dust sticking to it, took out a box from his pocket, and put the capsule into the empty space. There were already fifteen capsules in it—this is how he and Zhan Zhao lived together in several lifetimes. He just took it back from Zhan Zhao's locker.

"Old five?" Jiang Ping's voice came from behind, "Are you...?" He just came back from shopping.

"Fourth brother, I'm going to the front line to be a pilot." Bai Yutang was also unambiguous, "Thank you earlier."

"Frontline?! Why!" Jiang Ping was shocked, "You are only 19 years old, how could you be assigned such a dangerous job?! Didn't Zhan Zhao leave you a chance to make a wish?! No, I'm going to find Gongsun Policy!"

"I chose this myself." Bai Yutang held Jiang Ping, bent down to pick up the dishes he had dropped on the floor, "Being a pilot can train your mental strength, and you can get promoted the fastest."

"Old five..." Jiang Ping's eyes were moist.

"I'm sorry, fourth brother, I still chose him this time." Bai Yutang stuffed the vegetable basket into Jiang Ping's arms, "He has paid so much, how can I let him wait for me for too long."

Since only the captain can see the guide, he should be the captain.

Twenty years later, Captain Bai Yutang came to the "Sleeping Dreams", refused the guide's company, and stopped at the door of the seventh room.

As soon as I stretched out my hand, the aspect that had been dusty for many years opened automatically, and the familiar breath came oncoming.

The nymphomaniac guide girl who was hiding aside discovered that the captain who had always been known as the "White Ice Mountain" actually... actually laughed.

The author has something to say: the writing is anticlimactic, and in some places it seems abrupt because the outline has been changed.

Sorry, the next article won't be like this, don't change the outline randomly, don't be in a hurry.

Overhaul on the morning of May 5th, hope to clarify some things
