After Waking up Beside the Villain

The winter night in the alley lost the crazy raging wind and sand, leaving only the cold and dry air.

The lack of a piece of street light is too dim, and it is impossible to cross the four-lane cement crack from the opposite street to the shadow of the long and cramped old building.

The car with double flashing lights slowly drove to the vicinity, and before it stopped, the taxi order booked online was cancelled.The driver glanced at the demolished buildings with sporadic lights in the dark night outside the car window, and was so frightened that he stepped on the accelerator and fled with a long tail before he could even curse.

The afterglow of the headlights scraped across the alley, and two misty and clear silhouettes flashed in the light.

Chu Yunsheng glanced sideways, put away the phone, squatted down on one knee, and pulled the twisted socks high over Rong Chen's ankle.

"I... am not cold..."

Rong Chen lowered his head, looked at Chu Yunsheng in a daze, and said in an unreal voice, "After my body is no longer human, I won't be cold anymore..."

Chu Yunsheng straightened up, then raised his hand to tidy up the change of clothes in his backpack that Rong Chen had just put on, and then lit the white coat that Rong Chen took off that had sat in the trash can with a lighter, and burned it in an empty trash can. bucket.

"There is a kind of coldness that makes your boyfriend think you are cold."

Chu Yunsheng retaliated against him in his own way, then paused, and added: "Besides, it's indecent."

Rong Chen glanced at his jacket and overalls, lowered his eyelids, and looked at the two feet in snow-white socks stepping on the concrete floor: "No...shoes, it's very cold."

Chu Yunsheng really wanted to ask Rong Chen who was the one who said he was not cold a few seconds ago, but he didn't ask, but chose to put the mostly empty backpack behind Rong Chen's back, then turned around and squatted down Come down, wrap Rong Chen's hand around his warm neck.

"You are really... on the right track."

Rong Chen pressed against the back of Chu Yunsheng's neck, and his ethereal voice was full of joy.

Chu Yunsheng was too lazy to care about his appearance, and let him rub the cold tip of his nose and lips into his collar, supported his knees with both hands, lifted him up, and walked deep into the alley .

At the end of the alley with seven turns and eight turns, it is a small road into the city along the desolate wilderness and construction site.

The icy wind swept across the vast wasteland, blowing head-on, and scraped the skin bitterly.

Chu Yunsheng walked among the weeds on the side of the road, or in the shadows by the bridge opening, trying to avoid possible surveillance cameras.

But in fact, most of the official monitoring and private monitoring began two years ago, gradually reducing and withdrawn, because if many strange incidents are spiritual pollution, then the captured images are also horrific and hysterical.

Compared with the despair and panic caused by mental pollution, the rise and fall of the crime rate is not so important. Moreover, few people will go out in the dangerous late night, even if he is a murderer who is not afraid of even ghosts and police.

After all, there are more terrifying things in the world than death and imprisonment.

"where are we going?"

Rong Chen's voice was extremely low, hissing like a snake, and the tip of his swimming tongue rang in his ears.

"Open the room." Chu Yunsheng breathed out a breath of white steam that was not obvious.

The wet and cold tip of his tongue suddenly retracted in fright.

Chu Yun smiled silently, passed the army, paused again, and explained: "There is a small hotel near the subway station ahead, no ID card is required, sleep for one night, and return to Haicheng tomorrow."

Rong Chen hummed, his voice was unsteadily blown by the wind: "I... haven't had a room with my boyfriend yet, no, no... I didn't have a boyfriend before... My parents don't know me Sexual orientation... I was going to graduate out of the closet, the mop at home... the feather duster... I secretly replaced it with... plastic ones, it doesn't hurt to beat people..."

Chu Yun's voice fell silent, and his deep voice revealed a temperature completely different from that of Dong Ye: "Uncle and aunt will not beat you, they love you very much."

"Yes."

Rong Chen said softly: "But I... feel sorry."

"I'm not afraid of them beating me and scolding me...I'm most afraid of them looking at me with the kind of disappointment...but trying to understand me and accept me..."

"In my first elementary school, when I went to chase other children to collect protection money, when I... skipped class to play games in junior high school, and stayed out at night for the first time... In high school, I went to the mountains without telling them, When watching other people racing..."

"I was lucky to be their child, but it brought them... misfortune..."

Chu Yunsheng looked at the pitch-black night ahead covering the vast wilderness, and did not speak.

Rong Chen's arms were like flexible vines, slowly wrapping around Chu Yunsheng's shoulders and neck.

"I used to... always felt that I was too ordinary, too mediocre..."

He said: "I'm not like a hero who can transform into an anime, nor a knight in a movie... who walks the rivers and lakes with a sword... I'm the same as every college student in Haicheng... worrying about homework, graduation thesis, and finding a job , Worrying about... not being able to support myself, supporting my parents, worrying about... a lot of things."

"When I was in college, I still thought... If the end came one day, like in novels and movies... Will the world be very different, will everyone have supernatural powers... But now, Doomsday Maybe even darker and more terrifying, but human beings are still just, ordinary human beings..."

"I know... you are discussing today, to explore the passage of the new world..."

Chu Yunsheng listened to the sound of truck engines roaring by the overpass overhead, and said in a low voice: "Do you have any suggestions?"

"I suggest...take me."

Rong Chen smiled softly like a dream: "Travel at public expense, see the aurora."

After a pause, he continued: "I don't know if your choice is right... or not, I thought about it for a long time, and I just remembered... the name of that passage in the old world hundreds of millions of years ago, Laieto The City of Yas..."

The name of this place was pronounced, as if a strange and confusing spiritual sensation was triggered, and the sound of the wind in the wilderness suddenly changed from wailing to screaming.

This is an ancient city named after the real name of an old god. If the chanter has special powers, it will trigger some strange spiritual reactions.

But if another god is read, then this kind of induction will become a wind without a trace, and no one will perceive it.

"How far are we... I seem to be sleepy..."

Rong Chen said.

"Soon." Chu Yun said, "You can already see the lights in front of you."

Rong Chen was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "Then it's better to go slowly... If we can keep walking, it will be fine... No, it's not good, I... 140 catties, it's too long, you can't carry it on your back ...Chu Yunsheng, how could you... like a corpse..."

Chu Yunsheng tilted his head: "I don't like corpses. You are still alive, so I like you."

Rong Chen laughed.

He smiled and said in a low voice: "I should have scared you before... Today I mended the wound on my body, and I came to see you... to prove that I am indeed human, and I look...not bad. Recently, I have heard more...calls, a lot...things are about to happen, disasters, diseases, not just weirdness..."

"I want to have a good time with you... fall in love, get married, grow old forever, but it always feels... unrealistic."

"So, I am anxious to see you and give you...a gift."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Yunsheng felt a circle of soft threads wrap around his neck, then gently fell down, and fell into the collar of the jacket, clinging to his flesh.

"I might...sleep for a few days later, remember me."

The weight on his back gradually became lighter, and a viscous liquid continued to slide down.

Rong Chen said, "Today...is it a date?"

"Calculate."

Chu Yunsheng's cold voice gradually softened.

He said, "Thank you baby for picking me up from get off work."

No one answered him.

The weight on the back is completely gone.

Chu Yunsheng withdrew his empty hands, which were stained with some pitch-black liquid.

He knew that this was Rong Chen going back to the Ninth Research Institute, and he would meet again tomorrow at the latest.

But maybe it was the news that Rong Chen was going to sleep for several days, or maybe it was the ominousness and worry that Rong Chen tried to restrain but couldn't conceal in his words. The voice uncontrollably cast a thick and dark shadow over my heart.

Will everything really go as smoothly as expected?

……

On the tenth day after returning to Haicheng, Chu Yunsheng received a gathering notice from the Security Bureau.

The channel exploration operation in the East Siberian Sea was finally carried out jointly by China and Russia, each dispatching 3000 special service teams and [-] experts.

The Huaxia Security Bureau seems to have placed most of its chips on this exploration. Half of the 3000-member team are specially trained secret agents, and the other half are the best recruits from the headquarters and the Seventh Division from all over the country. field staff.

The 20 experts have also been carefully selected. Whether it is the understanding of various materials, or the degree of professionalism, courage, and loyalty, these [-] people cannot be selected wrong.

In addition, there is also a medical team equipped with the most advanced medical equipment, which has taken a special plane to arrive at the Eurasian continent closest to the East Siberian Sea, San Doubo Bay.

Riding with them are weapons, equipment, and various instruments that can be used by major research institutes for exploration or combat.

Originally, the Ninth Research Institute, which was only established for more than half a year, had nothing to offer except a special potion developed by the old director that could preserve the activity of heterogeneous infection sources, but Chu Yunsheng also decided to devote himself to this exploration. try best.

So he returned to the Ninth Research Institute for ten days, and worked hard in the laboratory for ten days without sleep.

Not only improved sanity monitors and internal communicators, but also developed some medicines to restrain insect species, as well as many high-energy weapons with greatly improved performance, new detection robot snakes, and special diving suits.

If it wasn't for the lack of time, he would still have time to carefully study the special technologies that the Security Bureau unearthed from the ruins of the old world continent hundreds of millions of years ago that far surpassed the current civilization. Perhaps, he could make more.

But for now, it can only be so temporarily.

On November 2025, 11, the secret service team and the medical team are in place.

Two days later, Chu Yunsheng and the other [-] experts in charge of exploring the new world passage boarded the plane, and at an altitude of thousands of feet, swept across the Northeast Plain of white clouds and black soil and the majestic mountains of East Siberia, and entered the polar night North Pole lock up.

The place where the team was resting and camping was in a small town near the Arctic Ocean in Santobo Bay. There were very few residents in the town.

On the fifth day after the special service team was stationed, everything was ready.

Six o'clock in the morning.

The sea breeze of the Arctic Ocean was extremely fierce and bitingly cold, blowing the field of vision into whiteness and confusion.The snow accumulated for several days has reached the knees of adult men, and the snow trucks of the secret service team went back and forth overnight, but they could not reveal the original color of the ground.

Chu Yunsheng was woken up by the alarm clock, dressed and washed, with a backpack containing Chen's brain on his back, and went downstairs to have breakfast with other experts.

The gift Rong Chen gave him that night was a pendant tied with a small vine. After wearing it, if there is no spiritual connection to be established, there will be no more chaotic illusions in Rong Chen's brain when he carries it with him or touches him. and non-stop raving.

Even if you wear a sanity monitor in this state, the value of the monitor will still be stable and gentle.

After breakfast.

The 20 people were picked up by the seventh team and drove to an abandoned seaside pier in San Doubo Bay.

It has been surrounded by Chinese and Russian secret service teams under martial law.

Two refitted icebreakers and five submarines were floating, and had sailed a considerable distance, half hidden in the snow and thick fog of the East Siberian Sea, not very clear.

"Xiao Chu, do you think our operation will succeed?"

Xu Hai came out of the car, looked at the sea, and asked Chu Yunsheng loudly.

The old dean was not on the list of the Security Bureau, but he applied three times, and each application was a will and a medical examination form.He knew that his body was barely holding on, and he didn't have two years to live. Instead of letting young people take risks, it is better to let him do this kind of thing.

At least he has a lot of experience.

Finally, the Security Bureau approved his application.

"Will do."

Chu Yunsheng replied: "Dean Xu, go back to the car, it's too cold here. It's not your wish to fall ill before going to the battlefield."

Xu Hai smiled: "Okay, boy, you can hold me. I'll watch for another 2 minutes to see what those plague worms that have invaded the East Siberian Sea are."

Chu Yunsheng knew that Xu Hai was sensible, so he didn't persuade him any more.

At this time, the icebreakers and submarines could only see vague outlines through the telescope. They seemed to have arrived at the predetermined position, and a red signal light flashed on one of the icebreakers.

As the signal light flashed, Chu Yunsheng suddenly heard a distant, frantic hissing sound that seemed to come from the depths of the sea.
