Future Crystal Crown

The big iron door closed automatically behind him, and with a "click" it was sucked onto the disk, completely isolating the warehouse from the outside world.

Qiu Momo sat at the table, the last words of the one-eyed old man echoing in his ears.Ask yourself, is it worth it to insist on choosing a mother?

The days started hastily in such a state of panic, anxiety, and no regrets.

Walking in the dark underground warehouse, you can't feel the alternation of the sun and the moon at all.Qiu carried a long pole flashlight and walked through those deep corridors one by one.

Here is a place where there is no time, everything passes silently in the dark.Every end of a corridor.He was about to press his fingerprint on the electronic scanner.The system will automatically record his patrol time, which is the proof of his work.

Those immortal remains were sorted and placed in the dark underground depths of the dark castle.Staring at him silently as if life had evolved.

"After your daily rounds, you're going to sit here and watch over this phone. Sometimes someone will call to check on you. If you're gone for more than three or ten minutes, report to your officer. If they find you out If you don’t report to your post, you will be punished as AWOL. The punishment for AWOL is confinement or whipping.” The one-eyed old man explained that this is something that Qiu must write down.

Yau remembered this.After the work is done, he waits in the office for a call.Lie on your stomach when you are tired, and lie down on your desk if you feel uncomfortable on your stomach.The table is very hard, which is uncomfortable at first and you get used to it after a long time.He sometimes dozed off, and when he was dozing off, his head was tilted to one side and he felt uncomfortable, so he would pull the phone over and lay it on his pillow.

Lying on the desk and staring at the phone has become what he does most of the day.

Qiu found out the flute that Qi Jun gave him, took it to look carefully under the lamp, the flute seemed to be very old, and the centaur and horse logo on it was very delicate and small, and it was black and shiny after being played with.

Qiu wanted to try playing the flute, but found that the flute had only one eye on the head.

What is this flute called?Qiu put his lips closer and tried various positions to play, but the flute could only make a whistling sound like the wind blowing through the cracks of a window, and it was still broken and incomplete, which was very unpleasant.

"Woo...shh...huh..." Qiu played for a while, but the flute didn't sound, and the urine came down.

Go to the toilet to pee, there is an orange light there.

The old Kuguan said that the orange light is to ward off evil spirits, so don't change it.Standing and peeing under the orange light always feels like returning to the Sagittarius Valley. The waterfall under the sunset is also orange, with golden water flowing.

Qiu has two opportunities to go out every day, and that is the time to receive food.

Once in the morning and in the evening, he would walk 10 to 10 minutes to a nearby automatic food supply station to get a machine-cooked mushy meal, and then, like several other lonely old warehouse managers, he would sit in a corner and eat quietly.After eating, walk for another [-] minutes, and return to the underground castle that belongs to him alone.

His life became a constant walk, either between the underground floors, or on the way to and from dinner.The cycle seems endless.

No internet, no phone, no friends.The protective shields around the warehouse area blocked everything, and even a plastic bag flying in the empty sky could not be seen.

The red phone never rang, and Qiu sometimes wondered if it was a bad one, but when he picked it up, he heard the sound.

Qiu told himself, don't think about it if you don't make a sound, anyway, he doesn't want to bow his head and admit his mistake to anyone.

He chose to persevere, sticking to his promise like a devout believer.

One day when it was time to eat again, he went to get a box of food and came together with some old warehouse managers, and everyone chatted with each other.

Someone suddenly asked Qiu, "Did you see any ghosts during the patrol?"

Qiu shook his head, "I haven't seen it."

"Then did you hear any strange noises, as if something was following you?" the old warehouse manager asked again.

Qiu thought for a while, then shook his head again.

Most of the abnormal noises in the warehouse are caused by cracked walls or leaking pipes or damaged door shafts or changes in wind direction.There were no really strange noises.

"Is there no sound in the cabinet?" The manager obviously didn't believe it.

"No." Qiu replied.

"Think about it carefully, even a little bit of whispering counts." Kuguan tried to remind him.

Qiu tilted his head and thought for a while. The things in the cabinet are hundreds of thousands of years old. If something happens, it will happen long ago. There is no need to scare yourself.

"Indeed not." Qiu replied.

The old Kuguan shook his head regretfully. "You are really dull enough."

"……"mound.

"Then what did you see?" Qiu asked Kuguan.

"I saw everything." The old Kuguan looked around and whispered to Qiu: "Let me tell you, they are not dead, they are just asleep. When you came over, they pretended not to understand and waited for you to leave." They used to walk around, and when you fell asleep they would come out and circle around you..."

"Oh? Really?" Qiu looked at the old Kuguan worriedly.

People are prone to hallucinations after staying in a claustrophobic environment for a long time. This Kuguan may have already experienced auditory hallucinations.

Qiu kept thinking about this on the way back after eating.

If I don't quickly find a way to overcome loneliness, I'm afraid I will be like that one after a long time.But what can I find to liven up the atmosphere?With that, Qiu remembered the communicator that Rogge had given him.

There is no communication signal in the warehouse area, but there is electricity in the warehouse.Yau's communicator does everything except communicate.There are not only information and games, but also a large number of songs...

A large number of magical songs of Elson's interest collected by Rogge and Qiu are all on Qiu's communicator.Qiu didn't have time to listen to it when he was in Sagittarius, but now he finally has the time to listen!

So from that day on, in the dark, lonely and long underground corridor, accompanied by the footsteps of military boots hitting the concrete floor, songs with strange tunes and ghostly voices were replayed over and over again.

Qiu felt unbearable at the beginning, but slowly, after getting familiar with the melody, he seemed to be able to appreciate the essence of the song.As Elson said, as long as you calm down and listen carefully, you can hear the beauty of these songs...

***

When Fili was sitting in the sunny office with the aroma of coffee and turned on the monitor and called up the monitoring signal of the warehouse where Qiu was located, the synchronously played audio signal rushed straight into his brain like the sound of hell.

"Oh my God, what's that sound?!" Fili was so startled that he almost fell off his chair.

Fei Lin, who was standing aside, trembled unconsciously.

"It's a song, the song stored in his communicator." It was Rogge who calmed down first.After listening to the shrill singing, he understood what was going on.

"You still listen to this kind of song in that bloody place, aren't you afraid of waking up those lying in the cabinet?" Fili frowned beautifully, trying to appreciate the chainsaw-like melody.But the heart-piercing singing was transmitted through the most advanced fidelity equipment, and I always felt that my eardrums were going to be scrapped, so Philip turned off all the audio.

"Why does he listen to this kind of thing? Does he still feel that he has not been abused enough?" Fili adjusted the video signal to the best state.

"It's probably the only one in his communicator." Ferlin knew Qiu better.Qiu is not a playful person, he may be using this time to study those songs.

Roger kept silent, and he focused on Qiu with a worried face from the moment he saw the picture of Qiu.

The people in the picture are patrolling along the corridor, and their mechanical footsteps reflect the dullness and boredom of this kind of work.Qiu turned his face to face the camera.The helplessness and loneliness on that face are clearly the undisguised inner exposure of the lonely in loneliness.

Rogge felt anxious for a while, although more than ten days had passed, but Qiu was probably living like a year.

The three of them stopped talking and continued to watch Riqiu's movement on the screen.

Qiu walked slowly along his inspection route, inspecting room by room.Serious, careful, orderly, and slightly numb.

Looking at the gloomy Qiu, Feilin was the first one who couldn't take it anymore.

"What's the point of this kind of patrolling? It's better to ask the Ministry of Science and Technology to seal off the warehouse as soon as possible." Feilin said.

"It's not a problem to be banned, but before you are banned, you should ask grandma again? We can't be bullied by outsiders, and our own family members can't get along with our own family members. This kind of thing that enemies and relatives hate is only her. You can do it." Fili stated his position.It's not just for Qiu's sake, he really can't understand grandma's practice of prospering and perishing.

Flynn shook his head.

"I've tried to persuade you. Grandma won't listen to anyone when she's angry. But you, why take Qiu to a place like a banquet?" Feilin accused Feili.

"I just want to let him relax. He's not young anymore, and it's time for him to date girls. Besides, this is what Mrs. Rogge meant. She specifically told me to take Shangqiu with me, so why don't I take it?" Philip turned his head. Look at Flynn and look at Roger.

"Why does my mother pay attention to him?" Roger looked at Ferlin suspiciously.

"Ask yourself," Ferring said.

Roger shook his head, "Let's talk about it when there is a suitable opportunity."

His relationship with his parents is much farther than outsiders know, and he is worried that if he asks, it will arouse suspicion.

"What should we do now? Quickly tell me how you can get Qiu out." Philip urged the two of them.

"Aren't you a good dancer with long sleeves? At critical moments, use your connections!" Fei Lin mocked Fei Li.

"Hey, brother, can you explain something? It was grandma who locked Qiu there. Who dares to disobey what grandma says? Can I ask others to help?" Feili looked frustrated.

After a while seeing that Feilin didn't speak, Feili said again: "I thought about using the York family's relationship, but Qiu offended Cheryl, I think Admiral York would probably not be willing to help."

"Not necessarily." Roger said.
