implication [end times]

Ran Yu opened his eyes and found himself in a very familiar room.The room is not big, but it is very warmly furnished.The wooden table is full of examination materials, various handmade products and origami. Through the small window beside the bed, you can see the abandoned chicken coop in the yard outside.This is where he lived out of town for 20 years.The sun was very strong outside, and Ran Yu was still a little dizzy when he opened his eyes. He rubbed his eyes, and after a while, he saw the wall clock on the wall clearly. It was already past eleven o'clock in the morning.

Ran Yu was not surprised by this kind of thing. Although everything his senses gave him was very similar to reality, he should still be in the main city—the connection with Ran Qiu is getting deeper and deeper, and he has become accustomed to this situation. .

Life in the laboratory is very boring. It may be because of sleeping for too long, and the shoulders are stiff and uncomfortable when you move them a little. When Ran Yu just wanted to raise his hand to rub his shoulders, a soft and cold hand touched his shoulders first.

Through a thin layer of clothing, Ran Yu was shocked by the ice.

"Brother, long time no see." The curly-haired boy in bib shorts laughed, his round eyes became crooked.

Ran Yu pushed Ran Qiu's hand away, and asked abruptly, "How old are you this year?"

Ran Qiu was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and wriggled his fingers, turned his hands upside down several times but couldn't figure it out, so he could only pouted and said aggrievedly: "You know I'm bad at math...and I didn't go ashore. At that time, I would not use your method to count the years. Oh, yes, I swam to a place near the shore a long time ago and saw many of your kind. At that time, they could not speak in such a complicated way, and They don’t wear such clothes. They wear animal skins or grass skirts around their waists, and they don’t dump garbage and nuclear waste water into the sea, which is much better than you now.”

A subtle expression flashed across Ran Qiu's doughy doll's face.He grabbed Ran Yu's arm and shook it, and said jokingly: "You are not afraid of me, are you? I will be very sad then."

Ran Yu thought about it for a while, and then showed embarrassment: "Then you are at least several thousand years old now, it is not appropriate to call me brother, I am only 20 years old."

Ran Qiu didn't expect to hear this kind of answer either. He stood on tiptoe and sat on the desk, swinging his legs like white chopsticks, fiddled with the straps on his shoulders one after another.

"What did you call me here for?" Ran Yu sat up, half leaning against the head of the bed and asked.

"It's nothing, I just haven't seen you for a long time." Ran Qiu scratched his head, and the few tufts of hair on the top of his head became more messy, "You are so cold, you are not the brother you used to be."

"You are not my brother."

"Oh, oh, why did you come back again, I don't want to talk about this topic." Ran Qiu jumped off the table and walked to the bed, bent over and brought his face in front of Ran Yu, holding Ran Yu's shoulders with both hands, with big black eyes It was frightening, "Anyway, you said you wouldn't abandon me and would always be with me, right?"

Ran Qiu didn't look excited, but the strength in his hand was not weak, and it hurt to grab Ran Yu's shoulder, and the oppression was overwhelming, which contradicted his immature face very much.Ran Yu had reason to suspect that if he said a single word no, his shoulder would be crushed on the spot.

Ran Yu didn't speak, he looked away, and stopped when he casually scanned the bookshelf.There were some more odds and ends on the bookshelf. He remembered clearly that these were not his.Among them was a pair of round-rimmed glasses that seemed familiar to him.

"Where did those glasses come from?"

Ran Qiu was distracted, looked back, and said indifferently: "It should be a little postman. After delivering the letter, he also helped me solve the lunch problem, which is very good."

Ran Yu suddenly felt cold in his hands and feet, and he unconsciously grasped the bed sheet tightly, and said, "Is his name Yuan Xi?"

Ran Qiu tilted his head in doubt: "Why do I need to know his name?"

Ran Yu ignored the inadvertent arrogance and sarcasm in Ran Qiu's tone, and said to himself, "I know him. We took the city entrance exam together, and I asked him to take care of you when passing by."

"Can't you eat the food you know?" Ran Qiu said, "But I'm very hungry, brother."

"Why don't you eat me?"

"Brother, you already know too many things, don't betray me anymore. If you are so disobedient, I may really eat you someday." Ran Qiu raised his hand and gently brushed away the broken hair on Ran Yu's forehead , staring into Ran Yu's eyes and said, "I'll look at you, always look at you."

The two fluffy words "Zai" made Ran Yu's heart skip a beat. Ran Qiu got very close, and lightly rubbed the top of Ran Yu's head with the tip of his nose, like a small animal.In the past, Ran Qiu often rubbed against Ran Yu like this. Ran Yu only felt that his younger brother was still young, and it was understandable to act like a baby occasionally, but now he resisted in his heart, so he stretched out his hand and pushed.

His hands were held by a pair of warm, dry hands.

"Why are your hands so cold?" Ran Yu heard Lou Yue say.

Ran Yu withdrew his hands slightly, and Lou Yue let go naturally, as if nothing had happened.If you ignore Lou Yue's dimmed eyes.

The scene in front of him changed rapidly, and Ran Yu found himself sitting in Yan Ai's office, with sumptuous dishes on the table, and Lou Yue and Yan Ai sitting next to him.

"Why don't you eat? Doesn't it suit your appetite?" Lou Yue put a piece of barbecue into Ran Yu's bowl, "It's still the same restaurant before, you probably haven't eaten in a long time."

The smell of barbecue is very fragrant, and it was Ran Yu's favorite taste before, but today he feels a little sick for no reason.

Yan Ai's eyes swayed back and forth between the two of them, and finally stopped on Ran Yu meaningfully: "You suddenly disappeared today, which made Captain Lou very anxious, and almost brought our research institute down. You pulled it away and quietly dissected it."

The memory of the morning came back, intertwined with the previous dealings with Ran Qiu, and Ran Yu was in a trance for a moment.

This morning Ran Yu was suddenly secretly led out by a strange officer to go through the formalities of rejoining the army.It is said that it is a confidential document directly issued by the city lord's office, and the content is also very official. It is said that it is in consideration of Ran Yu's previous achievements and the current shortage of combatants on the front line of the second ring. In consideration of the needs of the main city and the humanitarian spirit, it was decided to approve Ran Yu to return to his original unit.

This transfer order bypassed the three top leaders of the security department, and was handed over to the person concerned at the first time. After going through the formalities of returning to the team, the senior leadership was notified. During this period, no one had the authority to know where Ran Yu was. The colleagues in the monitoring room who changed shifts reported the wrong news after they found out that the person was gone.

Ran Yu, who used to always shout for meat, didn't eat a piece of meat for the whole meal. Lou Yue saw it, but didn't say anything, and he didn't move his chopsticks much.

In Lou Yue's view, after being locked up like a prisoner in the laboratory for so long, no matter how normal a person is, they will become abnormal.But from the beginning to the end, due to his status as an ordinary supervisor, he could not express too close concern, and even his application for a visit would be rejected due to insufficient reasons.

Yan Ai saw Captain Lou's complexion getting worse and worse, so he found an excuse and quickly slipped away.There were only two people left in the office, Lou Yue and Ran Yu, each thinking silently.

None of them knew what the city lord's bizarre move meant, let alone what would happen after returning to the team.Of course, the greater uncertainty still lies with the sea ghost. Ran Yu has already successfully passed on the information once. It stands to reason that the city lord should know the important role of Ran Yu. Why did he let him out suddenly?

There are more disturbing thoughts in Ran Yu's heart, and the connection with Ran Qiu is getting deeper and deeper. He sees and perceives more and more secrets, but he can't express them one by one, because Ran Qiu will know and restrain himself The impulse he expresses—in short, he will shut up Ran Yu when he is ready to speak.Naturally, handwriting doesn't work either.

Ran Yu tried several times in the laboratory before, but all ended in failure, and received a warning from Ran Qiu.

Ran Yu knew that he was being watched continuously by Ran Qiu, but he didn't know if other people would inadvertently reveal some information beneficial to the sea ghost after he was released, which fulfilled Ran Qiu's intention.But in the same way, other people can also unite to weave a false web of life, and reveal some false news to Ran Yu to confuse the sea ghosts.

Ran Yu sometimes felt like a double agent who was mentioned on the radio station, and sometimes felt that he was just a voice transmission tool.After all, a double agent needs to know the situation of both the enemy and us well and deceive both parties, and the premise for him to deliver false news is that he believes it to be true.He had to be deceived first with genuine feelings before he could deceive Ran Qiu.

After a tasteless meal, Lou Yue simply packed up the lunch box and waved to Ran Yu: "You are going back to the team in the afternoon, I will take you there, just on the way."

While sitting in the car, Ran Yu was still thinking about the connection with Ran Qiu during this period of time, as well as the various illusions and wonderful feelings he saw from time to time, Lou Yue in the driver's seat next to him As if not reconciled to being ignored, he suddenly muttered at length:

"Ran Yu, I don't know if you've heard of it. In fact, there are some rumors outside, which may not have a good influence on you. People's words are terrible, and three people become tigers. After you return to the team, those rumors will have a negative impact on your work and reputation. Not very good, I don't want those boring things to hit you, after all, you will definitely be an elite combat force in the future, it's best not to be internalized."

"Also, your current status is indeed a bit embarrassing, but don't worry, since the city lord trusts you, other leaders must also trust you. But you are still a newcomer now, and you may be suspected, in order to prevent someone from secretly tripping you , you need a layer of identity protection. In addition, in the main city, non-work-related hospitalization requires the signature of relatives, and if you accidentally bump into it, the signature needs to be approved by your immediate leadership, which is easy to delay the illness."

"...All in all, in order to ensure your safety, we still need to go through a formality. It will be soon, and it will not delay your return to the second ring in the afternoon."

Ran Yu, who had just finished eating, was already a little sleepy, and this high-sounding reasoning successfully made him lose his ability to think, so he pretended to understand and nodded: "Okay, so what procedures do we have to go through?"

At this time, Lou Yue stopped the car and motioned Ran Yu to look to the right.

Outside the car window on the right is a beautiful two-story western-style building. The exterior wall is painted pale pink, and a few fire-like red roses are planted in front of the door. It does not look like a serious military institution.

Ran Yu took a closer look and found that there was a sign with gold letters on a red background hanging on the Xiaoyang Building——
