The crumpled red flower in Luo Xingyi's hand fell to the ground.

He looked at Ji Shuyao, and after digesting the words for a long time, he suddenly became agitated and understood.Then the body swayed, staggered a little, and took a step back.

"Finally I've said it." Ji Shuyao raised her head and let out a sigh of relief, then smiled helplessly, not looking at Luo Xingyi's current expression.Because she knew that it was useless to look at it now, and her comfort was in vain. What Luo Xingyi needed was the truth behind it.

She threw out such a cruel and sharp sentence at the beginning, but behind the superficial secret pleasure, after all, she couldn't bear to go any further, and said at a slightly slower pace: "I told you yesterday, you may not be able to accept this matter , do you think I'm exaggerating?"

In the gradually increasing mountain wind, Luo Xingyi could hardly find his own voice: "Why...?" He didn't understand what he did wrong to be punished like this.

Ji Shuyao wrapped her shawl and took two steps forward against the wind, sat down on a bench, and began to think.

She had already guessed that there would be such a day, a day when she would face Luo Xingyi's questioning, and of course she had simulated such meetings many times, and planned countless plans... But when "this matter" really came, she suddenly realized that , In fact, it is not so secretive.

She thought she had forgotten those old things, but in fact she didn't. She still remembers them vividly, but she no longer has the mood at that time.

"Because everything started because of you." Ji Shuyao folded her hands and looked ahead indifferently, as if she had passed through this flower garden and saw fragments of the past.

Many years ago, in the world's top scientific research base "Moon Palace", an evolutionary experiment of human transformation was started, called "Leap Project".A total of 36 volunteers participated in the experiment, tried various evolution directions, developed different degrees of abilities, and formed a new army.

But none of these volunteers who participated in the experiment knew that they were all guinea pigs of one person, and they were all defective semi-finished products under the cover of a fair contract.

"We are all the 'control group', and the real 'experimental group' is only you, Luo Xingyi. The entire 'leap project' of the 'Moon Palace' back then was carried out around you alone." Ji Shuyao said Said.

"Can you believe it? 'Moon Palace' let us explore the real dose and direction of the experiment for you, and use everyone's blood to nurture a perfect you. Yes, it's not your fault, but people who have suffered from backlash... Except for you, there is no exception. It is a good result for people like me to be alive. More people died suddenly.

so you get it?Why did Xu Yan specify that you only need to participate in the 'Storage Fire Project', because only you are special, and we are all going to die sooner or later.It will never be a finished product either. "

"No...it won't be." Luo Xingyi's first reaction was to deny it, and then a little girl's shadow suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.

That's the one he'll always be ashamed of, because his deteriorating condition, depriving that little girl of the chance to be rescued, is a crack in his life that no amount of cartoon dolls can fill.But now Ji Shuyao told him that what he owed was far more than just this little girl.

The blood in front of Luo Xingyi's eyes flickered, and the miserable hallucinations of a dying person seemed to appear in his mind. He tried to reason: "But me...why me...?"

"Who knows? You are still alive and nothing has happened. This is the best proof." Ji Shuyao looked at him, her voice was calm and steady, like a sharp blade, drawing a deep hole. bloody mouth.

"Because everyone's situation began to deteriorate, the zombie virus leaked out, the higher authorities did not want you to be affected by us, and let you fall asleep. And just after you fell asleep, a large number of us were backlashed, losing abilities, disabilities, or abilities Riot, exploding and dying... How desperate we were at the time, to be honest, I can't remember clearly. Later, after we learned the truth about this experiment, we destroyed the "Moon Palace" with the "sunset" and defected .”

As for the dormant Luo Xingyi, what Ji Shuyao didn't say was that they wanted to kill him.

This "Leap Project" full of lies owed them too much. The high-level executives of the "Moon Palace" had already fled, and the puppet experimenters who could only carry out orders were killed by them, and there was nowhere to vent their hatred.

And the only ones with a vested interest lie here, ignorant and innocent.

As long as they press a button, this perfect experimental subject who has been treasured by the "Moon Palace" can explode into a cloud of blood mist, buried in the torrent of history forever, and no one knows.

Those who were still alive at that time broke through Wang Shu's restriction and came to the fifth floor where Luo Xingyi was sleeping and freezing.

In the chaos, they snatched Luo Xingyi's dormant capsule, stopped and drove away all those who wanted to save him, and surrounded him.

What is Luo Xingyi doing at this time?Maybe, are you having a sweet dream?

It was nice that everyone was dying and he could still have sweet dreams.

— but no one did it.

It is very easy to kill him who is now so defenseless, but no one can do it.

Yes, "Moon Palace" deceived them, injected them with a large amount of experimental liquid that caused injury and disability, and took their lives to create gods.

But ah, the more than ten years that everyone has lived together is not fake, and the brotherhood of fighting side by side is also true. Before the conspiracy is exposed, it is true that you can die for your teammates.

People are emotional, very contradictory.

"Let him fend for himself." Someone said so at the beginning, and those who couldn't do it just let it go.

"He doesn't know anything." Someone smiled bitterly.

"Why doesn't he know anything!" Someone scolded sharply.

"Is it because I don't have a good father?"

"Enough! Just let him—sleep underground forever. I don't want to see him again. And this man-eating 'Moon Palace', go to hell!"

Volunteers who were suffering or were about to suffer backlash formed several factions, defected and fled the Moon Palace one after another, blasted several exits, and left in dust.

Ji Shuyao also led the team out of the "Moon Palace", and walked to the world where zombies were rampant and bombarded, and never went back, never looked back.

After Ji Shuyao intermittently added the details of the year, she didn't speak for a long time.Even though it has been a long time, this memory is always unpleasant.

Luo Xingyi didn't speak either. It is true that, as Ji Shuyao said, he is a person who has slept until now. He has neither suffered backlash nor experienced any difficult days.So, how could he really understand the pain of Ji Shuyao and the others who suffered innocent disasters?

Whatever you say will only appear to be consolation and hypocrisy after the fact.

What's more, this cruel truth is what he asked for.

"Captain, do you still hate me?" Luo Xingyi couldn't ask anything else until now.

Ji Shuyao shook her head with a blank expression, "Xing Yi, 24 years, it's too long."

She sighed, withdrew her spirit, and said, "Don't even think about it. If one of us really hates you, do you think you can still open your eyes? People can't live in the past all their lives, they have to look forward. I will never forget those things, but I don't want to be locked there by hatred for the rest of my life. After so many years, what else can I not think about? When I rebelled and destroyed the Moon Palace, I was emotionally charged and instigated by someone with a heart. After that time, what kind of hatred? Ah, nothing beats living in the moment.”

"We can still meet, this is already a good ending."

Ji Shuyao stood up, walked in front of Luo Xingyi, patted him on the shoulder as before, and said in a daze of encouragement: "Xingyi, live well, you are me too, the past is over. I'm finally seeing you, and I'm finally getting the words out of my mouth. I know I'm in a better mood now, but something must be wrong with you, let's go."

Before leaving the villa, Ji Shuyao took Luo Xingyi to see Xu Yan again, and then walked down the mountain.

Luo Xingyi, who had received two bad news in a row, had never been so quiet before. He didn't think about anything, as if he was an empty shell without a soul. Ji Shuyao picked up the string and obediently followed her for a while.

Then halfway through, he suddenly thought of a question: "Captain, don't you want to visit my parents today?"

Ji Shuyao turned her head in surprise, and looked at him in disbelief: "Haven't you suffered enough? Are you sure you want to continue?" Luo Xingyi is crazy?Broken cans?Is it not enough to encounter dementia of the elders and betrayal of relatives?Do you really not know what is waiting for him at the end?

"Okay, then today, let's finish the meeting after meeting together." Ji Shuyao said, turned around, and stepped up the stairs again, "Go ask the people in the villa to prepare a bouquet of flowers for you, and then come with me .”

Even though he was almost prepared for this, when Ji Shuyao said these words, Luo Xingyi's mind still buzzed, and the world fell into pieces, and it suddenly fell apart.

He almost lost his balance and just rolled down the mountain steps.

The memory behind it began to be blurred.

It seems that the mountain road is very long, and the mountain is very quiet. The further you go, the colder it is.

Because there is no longer any breath of living people, there is an unusual coldness.

Luo Xingyi's mind was in a mess, and his heart was also in a mess. Walking on the road, he carried a huge fear that he couldn't restrain his hairs standing on his head.

It seems that something is lost forever, something very important.But it cannot be said that this tone will come true if it is breathed out before seeing it with your own eyes.

When he saw the old Xu Yan demented, he could bear it, he could bear it, and hoped that technological innovation could save him.He can bear it when he hears Ji Shuyao talk about old things, those plots and betrayals. There is no feast that never ends. His teammates did nothing wrong. "Moon Palace" and he do owe them a lot, and he deserves whatever the outcome with.

He can grit his teeth and carry whatever chains are pulling him, and move on.

But at this moment, Luo Xingyi couldn't bear it anymore.He found that he couldn't bear any ending.

He was like a fledgling bird that hadn't had time to grow hard wings. After recklessly flying out of the nest, he "slapped" and broke his arms on the ground, bloody and bloody.He screamed hoarsely in pain, unable to move.

But no one heard his wailing.

Save me, save me, save me, save me!I'm afraid.I am afraid.

——No, don't cry for help, you have no one to protect you.

All the tears flowed into my heart and swallowed inside.

And then drowned to the point of suffocation.

Do you know when the most damn memory in this world appeared?

This is the moment.

When Luo Xingyi followed Ji Shuyao along the long road leading to the back mountain in a daze, and came to a cemetery with beautiful mountains and rivers, and saw the two familiar faces on the tombstone that were forever frozen and engraved by the camera. .

Black and white.

Memories are colorful.

Swarming, without order, without cause and effect, all the brains poured down, buried him, and crushed him to the ground.

I can't see any scene clearly, and I don't have time to understand what kind of memory it is. Arriving and leaving suddenly, I can't catch it, but I know very, very clearly who it is all about.

It is the person who accompanied you when you grew up, the person who always gives and cares for you for free, the person who you can repay when you finally grow up, and want to repay you so much, let them live a comfortable life, but you will never be able to. .

The chicks were still crawling on the ground and screaming, and the warm nest on the tree was blown down by the wind and rain, smashed to pieces, and disappeared completely and forever.

It has no home.

The flowers in Luo Xingyi's hands fell to the ground again.The clean and holy flowers dropped their petals.

What fell to the ground together was his knees.

He thought, is this true?Is this fake?He looked around in a daze, saw Ji Shuyao standing behind, and thought, why didn't you tell me earlier?why not tell me!

Luo Xingyi became very stupid in an instant. He didn't understand what he did before, and he didn't know what he should do next. He was very, very at a loss. He hoped that someone would tell him what he should do.

He was so stupid all of a sudden, probably because his heart was stabbed in the opposite direction. It didn't hurt, but it didn't beat much.

"Uncle Luo and Aunt Ming both passed away a few years ago. Aunt Ming is not in good health, because she is overly sad because of losing you, and her health is getting worse day by day. Two years after Aunt Ming left, Uncle Luo followed. Xing Yi, Although the two elders are gone now, they have lived a very good life in Taoyuan for the past few years..."

Luo Xingyi didn't hear what Ji Shuyao said later.He carefully observed the two side-by-side tombstones, from the name of the tomb owner, to the photo, to the person who erected the tomb, and confirmed it five times from beginning to end.

His parents in the photo are also old, but he can recognize them.There is no way not to admit it.

Because they were laughing at him.

The cemetery was too cold, Luo Xingyi thought, knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of the tomb.His parents were sleeping very close to him, under a thin cement slab.

However, the only way to say goodbye is to sweep the grave.

After kowtowing, he stretched out his hand mechanically, tremblingly picked up the muddy flowers that fell on the ground, carefully brushed off the black mud on the white flowers, and presented the flowers to the two tombstones buried together.

"Dad, Mom, I'm not filial, I just came to see you now. I'm sorry..." Luo Xingyi bit his knuckles when he said this, his eyes were reddened, and he didn't shed a single tear, but in fact it was already I couldn't breathe.

Just no sound.

He didn't dare to cry in front of his parents' grave, for fear that they would be worried.

Luo Xingyi knelt for a long time.The wetness from the rain on the ground was still wet, and his pants were soaked, and the wind blew like ice knives.

Later, Ji Shuyao really couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't cry, he didn't vent, he kept everything in his heart. Who could bear so many blows in one day?

Ji Shuyao stepped forward to pull Luo Xingyi: "Xingyi, get up, you can't kneel like this."

Luo Xingyi couldn't hear, and knelt as motionless as a mountain.

Ji Shuyao pulled him up with all her strength, "Get up! Even if you go back and destroy a few houses, it's better than kneeling here now!"

"Let me go! I won't go! I won't go!" Luo Xingyi shook off Ji Shuyao's hand and shouted loudly.

Ji Shuyao yelled back: "Are you going to play tricks here!"

Luo Xingyi was taken aback by the yelling, lowered his head, and fell to the side.

After a few more minutes, he stood up, stood in front of the tombstone with some awkward legs and bowed, "I'm sorry, Dad, Mom, I shouldn't make trouble and disturb you. I will come to see you tomorrow and accompany you say."

Seeing that he was finally willing to get up, Ji Shuyao breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Go back and clean yourself up first, how can you make Uncle Luo and Aunt Ming feel at ease?"

Later, on the way down the mountain, I still walked very silently.

The green hills and the silence in front of his eyes, the sky was high and wide, and a gust of wind blew in. Luo Xingyi felt that the heart that had been stabbed in the opposite direction was also blown by the wind, and there was a "snurling" sound.

Luo Xingyi walked slower and slower, and he was far behind Ji Shuyao.Ji Shuyao looked back at him, and continued walking down the mountain.

He continued to walk alone. When he was going down the stairs, his foot slipped and he fell directly on the stone steps. It didn't hurt, but he felt that he couldn't walk anymore.

So he retracted his legs and sat down on this stone slab.

In fact, 24 years have passed since he climbed out of the dormant cabin and found that the "Moon Palace" was abandoned and unaccompanied. It is not that he did not consider the worst outcome.It's just that I have never dared to think so, and I don't want to believe it.

Because he didn't believe it, he could act as if nothing happened, actively participate in the story of this new world, fight zombies, enter Taoyuan, and start a vigorous adventure.

But now he suddenly felt so tired, he couldn't walk anymore, and wanted to rest.

The wind was whistling all around, Luo Xingyi sat on the steps, he couldn't hear other sounds except his breathing.

Luo Xingyi is a person who is better at controlling his excessive emotions, especially those that are too sad, and will forcibly restrain them without showing any weakness.Especially when you are outside.

But at this moment, Luo Xingyi really felt an unprecedented loneliness and fear, as if he was the only one left in the world, no one was waiting for him, no one expected his arrival...

Just when he was about to be completely overwhelmed by this negative emotion, Luo Xingyi suddenly seemed to save himself, touched his pocket, took out a communicator, and dialed a number.

The call was picked up after a short wait, perhaps because it was inconvenient to turn on the stereo projection, and there was no projection of his own figure, but Qu Lin's voice in his ear was very real.

"what happened?"

Luo Xingyi never noticed that Qu Lin's voice was always so gentle.

Luo Xingyi said, "I really want to see you."

In the next second, the stereoscopic projection was turned on, and Qu Lin's figure appeared in front of his eyes.He also saw Luo Xingyi's terribly distressed appearance, he was taken aback for a moment, and then looked around at the scene, everything was spoken without words.

Then the virtual projection suddenly turned around and sat down, right next to Luo Xingyi.

Qu Lin didn't say a single extra word, but sat here with Luo Xingyi in silence until he said, he's going down the mountain.
