City-wide ban

This Christmas Eve is Qi Luyao's last holiday for himself.

He watched the face flickering in the candlelight, listening to the man chat about his project.He bent his eyes and soaked himself in the orange night, and his mood was unprecedented tranquility.

It has to be said that Xia Xinghe really knows him too well.

Before he said anything about Owenlin, Xia Xinghe just acted as if nothing had happened.

"This recently completed project was originally in charge of Mr. Qin, but it was handed over to me in the end. I completed it very well."

Xia Xinghe cut the steak lightly, and waited for Qi Luyao to raise his head in a daze before looking at him through the light of the fire? He squinted his eyes.

"Qin Dongchen, he..." Qi Luyao didn't know how to speak, he only knew that this was the first time Xia Xinghe talked with him about the project at this time.

He used to be full of reincarnation and Ou Wenlin, and didn't pay enough attention to Xia Xinghe's affairs. Now he knows that all of this is a link in the karmic reincarnation chain, and any detail is necessary for him to expand.

Seeing that he was willing to listen, Xia Xinghe continued, "Teacher Qin has been following my project, but after 09:30 in the morning, I couldn't get in touch with him. He has been very concerned about the progress of the project, so let me Report to him anytime, anywhere."

09:30 am was the time when Ou Wenlin was killed, and it was also the starting point of his entire reincarnation.

After the new reincarnation began, Qi Luyao immediately went to the backstage of the Institute of Meteorology, and the results proved that at this point in time, the intensity of the solar wind did suddenly increase in an instant, which verified the news that "a new round of solar activity cycle begins" fact.

So, if we push it down further, Qin Dongchen disappeared at this point in time, and nine out of ten may have been involved in other time streams.

Qi Luyao suddenly didn't know how to answer, so he could only nod his head and reach out to cut the fried egg on the plate.

The sound of firewood crackling in the fireplace danced in the room, making the air between the two of them quieter.

"Dang." With a soft sound, Xia Xinghe put down the knife and fork, stood up, and added some sauce to Qi Luyao's plate.

Qi Luyao raised his head to look at? His eyes were shining with red fire, and only then did he realize that after the whole night, his mind was full of reincarnation, Owen Lin, Qin Dongchen, and Xia Xinghe who died in the past. Only there is no one in front of him? The one in front of him is all his and loves him.

"I'm sorry, what happened today is really..." Qi Luyao wanted to say something that would comfort him, but the more he spoke, the more he felt that he was making excuses.

Obviously at this time, he likes him like the countless Xia Xinghe before him, but Qi Luyao just can't let go of the previous Xia Xinghe.

Perhaps the countless Xia Xinghes in the past were copied and pasted just like the time, so there was no feeling of switching objects when restarting.

But the last "accident" is so fresh in Qi Luyao's memory that it is still difficult to feel a sense of substitution for the lover in front of him.

This is really unfair to this Xia Xinghe.

"If brother is unhappy, you can tell me."

Xia Xinghe cautiously probed, and as he spoke, his tone suddenly became a little humble: "You can tell me anything..."

Qi Luyao only felt that his throat was a little tight? Come on, maybe he was right? The previous Xia Xinghe had a filter that was too heavy, so that he showed his original gentle and soft appearance, so it is difficult for you to pay attention? He has a A mentality of facing lovers.

"It's hard to say..." Qi Luyao shook his head helplessly, and started to laugh, "It's not because I don't trust you? It's because..."

"Brother, are you? Did you come back from the future?"

Suddenly, Xia Xinghe uttered a sentence without beginning or end, with a flat tone, as if he was asking him again whether he would like apple pie or lemon pie tonight.

Qi Luyao's eyes flickered instantly: "You..."

"I'll forget everything tomorrow, so until tonight, we can talk about anything."

Xia Xinghe laughed, with a hint of loneliness and tenderness in his eyes.

"I know you? Qi Luyao is not mine, so I have to send you back to him."

"He's still alive, brother." Xia Xinghe said with a smile, "You? We? will definitely meet again."

—It turns out that he knows everything.Qi Luyao thought dully.

He knew about time travel, knew about the zombie disaster that was about to erupt in the near future, and even met that Xia Xinghe who also came from the future.

The matter about Qi Luyao's coming from the future is all Xia Xinghe's own speculation, relying on his in-depth understanding of his lover's absolute confidence.

"Excuse me?...I really..."

After clarifying everything, Qi Luyao's apology to Xia Xinghe in front of him became even deeper. This person in front of him seemed to be completely separated from his lover, and became a special individual with whom he could not have any intersection. ?.

Xia Xinghe shook his head, his tone was still warm and comforting: "It's okay, you don't belong to this time, from a selfish point of view, maybe you can help us complete the task, and my own brother can come back. "

Qi Luyao raised his eyes, and I have to say that Xia Xinghe really knows him too well, and he will always know what words can accurately comfort him. Untie it.

"Let's go back to Mr. Ou's house to look for clues before tomorrow comes." Xia Xinghe suggested.

According to his report, Qi Luyao quickly grasped the conclusions drawn by Li Xia Xinghe in the previous reincarnation.

Qi Luyao: "So you, Qin Dongchen, and Mo Yuanyou have the physique to travel through time and space after surgery the day after tomorrow."

Xia Xinghe: "That's right, the target of all of us's transformation is you, you can preserve memories during time travel, but I'm already the most successful experimental subject, and I still can't reach such a height."

Qi Luyao wasn't too surprised about his special physique. On the contrary, he had to say that he had nothing to do with time travel, which would make him suspicious.

Qi Luyao: "Qin Dongchen is the main person in charge of the time travel device production project, and Ou Wenlin is in charge of screening and producing the time traveler. Your final project is essentially to provide energy support for time travel. The unit believes you?" It should have been kept in the dark by Qin Dongchen."

Xia Xinghe: "Yes."

Qi Luyao: "The more important thing now is, what is the relationship between the zombie crisis and all of this? You? Why did you kill Owen Lin?"

Hearing this, Xia Xinghe raised his head, the smile on his face disappeared: "I didn't."

Qi Luyao realized that this question was not only super classy, ​​but even offensive to the current Xia Xinghe, he quickly explained: "I'm not talking about the current you?"

But the man just repeated it firmly and solemnly: "I didn't."

Continuous nonsense? Repeat.If someone else did such a thing, Qi Luyao would label him as "guilty", but with Xia Xinghe in front of him, he couldn't refute it.

He looked into Xia Xinghe's eyes, and said after a while, "I believe you?"

At this time, Xia Xinghe regained his usual gentleness: "I don't know much about Mr. Ou, but I have heard a little about the zombie crisis. I can't tell you now, because I don't want you to have any psychological burden. .”

Qi Luyao lowered his eyes, some details of the last reincarnation spliced ​​into a complete entity in his mind?.

After a long time, he sighed and asked softly, "Is it because of me?"

Xia Xinghe remained silent—about whether or not to confess this matter to him, he had discussed it with himself in the last reincarnation for a long time, and in the end he still felt that he could keep it secret.

Because Qi Luyao is indeed a person who is not very strong psychologically, telling him all this in advance will only mess up his position.

But right now, this person's reaction is much milder than I imagined.Xia Xinghe looked at his downcast eyelids, and wanted to stretch his hand over his knuckles, but gave up after hesitating for a moment.

"I almost guessed it." Qi Luyao smiled helplessly, "The brain of the empire, the electromagnetic wave, and that group of people are chasing me for no reason."

Xia Xinghe pursed his lips, not knowing what to say: "...There will be a way."

Qi Luyao was noncommittal: "Actually, the solution to the problem is very simple. As long as? I die, everything can return to peace."

This was probably what he was most afraid of hearing, Xia Xinghe held his breath, and racked his brains to find an angle that might comfort him.

"However, I feel that since time has given me countless repetitions, it must be to find a more tolerant way for me to let go." Qi Luyao said, "Perhaps, we can solve the problem before everything starts. There is still a chance to survive.”

Seeing Xia Xinghe's eyes light up, the corners of Qi Luyao's mouth also raised: "Even if it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time, I'm trapped in an infinite loop of time, and I still have countless things to try. Wrong chance."

Taking advantage of the height difference, Xia Xinghe reached out and rubbed his head: "There is no need to repeat countless trial and error, this time it will definitely work."

……

Qi Luyao really felt the blessing left by the last reincarnation.

Although it was not the first time he talked about reincarnation with Xia Xinghe, Qi Luyao's existence in this world and his knowledge of the time made Qi Luyao feel that he was no longer alone to the point of madness.

In the evening, as a family member of the deceased, Qi Luyao promptly copied all the files in Owenlin's computer, and carefully communicated with Xia Xinghe about the last reincarnation.

"Is there anything else I want to ask? I think something is wrong with me..."

At 11:30 in the night, Xia Xinghe's physical condition obviously experienced a sudden discomfort, and he began to become dazed in front of Qi Luyao.

"I have a high fever, are you uncomfortable?" Because of the psychological expectation in advance, when Qi Luyao brought him back to the room, he didn't have any worries other than worrying about his health.

Suffering is definitely uncomfortable, Xia Xinghe bent his foggy eyes, and smiled with some difficulty: "Then you? Starting tomorrow, you still pretend to be my brother, okay?"

For some reason, Qi Luyao's words turned a little sour. It seemed that this night's relationship was just a glimpse, and could not leave any meaning for this reincarnated Xia Xinghe after all.

Qi Luyao held the man's hot hand tightly, and the man pretended to be relaxed and said, "Please? I'm afraid I'm thinking too much? If I worry, it will hurt you instead..."

The eyes? Tears flowed down almost in an instant. Compared with the last parting, this time was more? It was indescribably sad.

Seeing that person nod in tacit agreement, Xia Xinghe smiled contentedly: "Then I'll forget about it."

"Dang——" the midnight bell rang in my ears.
