My nemesis clings to me every day

At the end of the demonstration, the instructor was so angry that his head exploded. A group of lower grade students basically forgot about the mecha battle. They only remembered that the two seniors pouted in front of the mecha. It turned out that the mecha could still drive so excitingly.

"Twenty groups! Don't miss one!"

The instructor kicked the two of them into the training ground. Ji Li and Rong Yu were fined another [-] groups and collapsed into a ball of mud. Rong Yu was covered in sticky sweat and lay down on the gravity training ground. For a long time, the humming and chirping didn't stop, and he instructed the little tentacles to wipe his sweat and squeeze his shoulders for a while, and then instructed Gummy Candy to buy water for him.

Gummy Candy rode that bouncing egg and ran to the vending machine—this little guy is getting smarter and smarter now. Rong Yu found out two days ago that it can already steal his coins and buy water for himself .

One day, Gummy Candy will become fine, and suddenly turn into a coquettish little princess, hugging Ji Li's leg and calling her mommy, he won't be surprised.

Rong Yu was amused by her own wild thoughts, but she subconsciously pondered that Ji Li and Mui Tang's temperaments were indeed too similar, especially as she became more and more familiar with the princess, she felt more and more that the princess's inner temper was short-tempered and fierce. He is clingy and still refuses to admit it, it is almost carved out of the same mold as gummy candy.

Like Xiao Guai Xiao Jiu, who is obviously Ji Li's little tentacles, but they are all strictly controlled by Ji Li. On the contrary, they are more humble and well-behaved. present.

- Isn't that right?

Why did Tang, whom he raised, become more and more like Ji Li?

He suddenly remembered the last time in the bathroom, the sticky candy made Xiao Jiu into a snowman, as if he caught a ray of light in his mind, but he couldn't connect it together, and when he thought about it again, he was interrupted by Ji Li train of thought.

Sitting next to him, Ji Li asked him, "Who did you learn your Ji Yan from?"

Rong Yu was stunned: "Ji Yan?"

"You used the keel... the one you used." Ji Li's blue eyes were thinking about something, a little dignified, and a little apprehensive, as if he was thinking deeply.

"I didn't know it was called Ji Yan." The golden color in Rong Yu's eyes flashed, "The arena is named Long Yan. If you really want to say who taught me, it should be the dragon bone who taught me."

Most of his moves were figured out by himself, while Ji Yan was taught by Long Gu.Keel said that if he was an attacking type, he could teach him a lot, but if he was a healing type, he could only learn Silent Flame.

"But the world will use it, and now you are the only one." Keel gently patted his head with his huge, steel body.

"You're a good fit for it."

For a gentle, powerful flame like that.

A flame that can make everything go silent and burn everything up.

"If you learn it, you can live." Keel would say to him, "If you live, you can escape."

Even when he escaped back then, there was a keel's plan in it.

It is an unprecedented event that a fighting beast that is strictly guarded can escape from the arena.

Especially Rong Yu's level, which belongs to the arena's cash cow, as long as he plays, it will be a rolling profit of the arena, even if he is eliminated or injured, he can still make a lot of money by relying on his death .

At the very beginning, he was still accompanied by the children he raised together.

Later, when he got older, became a mature fighting beast, and eliminated Ji Yan, he was taken care of alone.

He has a separate detention room and a separate training ground. Except for the keel, he can't even find anyone to talk to. He can only chat with the fat mouse with a broken tail.

He doesn't have any channels of information, and he wants to escape from the arena, which is as difficult as reaching the sky.

But Keel gave him a detailed plan and told him: "If you go out, don't come back."

At that time, Rong Yu knew nothing about the outside world, and didn't even know if he could survive, but he believed in his mech, bit his lip, and said stubbornly, "Let's go together."

Keel said softly: "You can't take me away, listen to me."

Rong Yu has never been an obedient and good boy. He couldn't take the mech away, so he stole the AI ​​chip of the keel, and became Xiao Huihui later.

however.

Xiao Huihui is not a keel.

Mingming's voice is as rational and gentle as his personality, and he clearly remembers the moves taught to him, and also tells him stories.

But it's not a keel.

"Why are you sure that Xiao Huihui is not a keel?" Ji Li has always wanted to ask this question.

"I don't know," Rong Yu's golden eyes became more and more sad, "but Xiao Hui Hui is not a keel."

"Even if I have the same memory and the same ability to tell stories, my brain just tells me that Xiao Huihui is not a keel."

"The keel is alive."

Xiao Huihui is not, Xiao Huihui is a gentle AI, the shadow left by the keel.

Ji Li didn't speak.

Rong Yu thought he would not believe it, so he could only smile with difficulty: "After I walked out of the arena, I have never dared to show my face, and I don't have much money. It has been two years since I was able to save up little ash."

The chip was indeed taken from the keel by him.

There is no second chip for the keel, and no one will replace it in advance.

But as soon as it started, he knew something was wrong.

"I didn't tell others, because I was afraid that no one would believe it." Rong Yu said in a low voice: "To be honest, sometimes I suspect that the keel is my hallucination."

After Rong Yu entered the star school, his horizons gradually broadened, and he saw so many advanced AIs of all kinds that were even smarter than humans, but he still hadn't met an AI that gave him a feeling of "alive" like a keel.

He gradually began to doubt his memory.

When he was in the arena, he didn't see the sun all year round, and there was nothing but endless fighting.

There are also many fighting beasts who have fallen into madness because of loneliness.

Even himself, sometimes because of the extreme pain, his memory is blurred, and he is in a trance like a dream.

Rong Yu sometimes even suspects that Dragon Bone is just another self, there has never been a little Huihui, and everything is a shadow that he has transformed to comfort himself.

But those stories are hard to explain. Could it be that he will tell himself fairy tales that he has never seen before?

He listened to those fairy tales again and again, proving that the keel did exist, proving that the warmth was real, not something he imagined.

But later, he gradually began to be afraid again. Even these fairy tales were filled in his memory after he came out.

Rong Yu was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice, "Ji Li, if you can't find the keel, forget it."

"Maybe, I really can't find it."

He smiled in relief.

Sticky Candy just came back from buying water, so he unscrewed it, took a sip, his golden eyes became moist, and after a while, he murmured softly: "It doesn't matter if you can't find it, even if it's fake, I can take it seriously. "

Rong Yu smiled, got up and was about to leave, but Ji Li suddenly clenched his hands: "It's not fake."

Ji Li pursed his lips tightly, his fingertips were trembling slightly, his blue eyes were full of surging tides: "It's not fake, the keel must exist."

Rong Yu was stunned.

Hearing Ji Li pause every word, he spoke with difficulty.

"The last person who can use Ji Yan."

"It's Princess Joan"

Rong Yu opened his mouth, unable to speak.

But Ji Li stared at him: "My mother, I will never admit to her moves."

"No one will use it, and neither will I."

Rong Yu didn't know how to speak, he was extremely confused, but he was afraid of saying something that shouldn't be said, so he hesitated more and more: "But she is not..."

died?

"I used to think so too," Ji Li stared at him, trembling more violently, "She is still at the bottom of the sea now."

"I took you to the bottom of the sea."

Princess Joan was once the strongest warrior in the empire, possessing mental power several times higher than that of normal humans, and eventually died in a mecha accident because of a loss of mental power.

Conscious death.

The safety pod ejected at the last moment, saving Joan's body.

The mecha fell and exploded to pieces.

Because no trace of consciousness can be detected, and there is no possibility of recovery, it is speculated that the excessive mental violence has shattered consciousness, and it is judged to be dead, but the body has been preserved in the seabed with instruments.

That was Ji Li's prison.

It's Joan's tomb.

"Rong Yu," Ji Li lowered his eyes, his whole body trembling violently, "If Dragon Bone really taught you Ji Yan, it would be..."

Rong Yu suddenly felt flustered. He was not only afraid that his memory was fake, but also afraid that Ji Li would be excited in vain.

This kind of thing is not to be joked about.

"I don't know," Rong Yu whispered, tugging on his sleeve, "Ji Li, I don't know."

Ji Li grabbed his hand, clutched his collar eagerly, and almost begged, "Think again."

"Rong Yu, you must have thought of something else."

It was impossible for Rong Yu to refuse.

He frowned and thought.

His memories of the gladiatorial arena were too bad. Forcibly flipping through the details page by page was like a blunt knife twitching in his mind, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He struggled to ask the details one by one: "The keel will touch my head after the battle."

"When I was almost defeated and died, the keel once moved by itself."

"They forced me to fight Ji Yan to the death. Dragon Gu told me that only Ji Yan's spiritual body can be killed..."

But every detail is so plausible.

Ji Li's expression became more and more urgent.

Rong Yu's brows also frowned more and more tightly.

As soon as he felt uncomfortable, the egg also trembled, rolling around "gurgling", even shaking off the sticky candy on his back.

Ji Li just woke up like a dream, he was stunned, and suddenly pressed his shoulder: "...Don't think about it."

"Don't think about it, I'll find it." Ji Li murmured and rested his forehead on his shoulder. "It will be found."

Rong Yu patted Ji Li's back, but suddenly a light flashed in his mind.

He widened his eyes, opened his mouth, and hummed a strange and strange song awkwardly and stammering.

"The stars... are the gravel in the sky, and the gravel are the stars on the ground..."

Ji Li didn't move.

Rong Yu said in a panic: "I've only heard it once, and I only know this sentence. I haven't found this song on the Internet since it came out. I don't know if it is..."

He couldn't go on.

The cloth on his shoulders was wet, Ji Li hugged him tightly, his shoulders were shaking violently.

Rong Yu's expression gradually became complicated and soft.

After a long time, he rubbed Ji Li's hair, like a keel treated him, and kissed the top of his hair again.Sighed slightly.

"……sorry."

I am afraid.

When Ji Li needed protection the most.

He stole his most important person.
