Ke Xue invades the three-dimensional

The arrival of "Heaven" did not stir up any ups and downs in Qian Mu's heart.

That's right, he doesn't remember the meaning of this date to him at all, but he knows the meaning to the public, after all, it belongs to "common sense" tentatively.

When Qian Mu found out that the password of the laboratory door had been changed again, what he thought was that he hadn't forgotten the time in the past week, so why did he have to change the password again?

With doubts, he went to find the most suspicious Akai Shuichi.

But Akai Shuichi was not in the research institute.

"Don't keep it secret? Do I have to deliver it to him personally?" Qian Mu had no choice but to go back to Miyano Shiho.

The little girl's exclusive laboratory is very quiet.

It wasn't that he didn't open the door on purpose, Miyano Shiho wasn't even in the institute either.

Qian Mu: "?"

They only separated 10 minutes ago. He thought that Xiao Zhibao had left first because he was in a hurry to do the experiment, and Akai Shuichi had also left first because he was busy looking for information, but he didn't guess a single motive correctly, and the two suddenly got together Played and disappeared.

Qian Mu was not in a hurry, because under the crack of the door, he found a piece of paper - a mysterious code.

After a few glances, Qianmu deciphered the code, and the answer he got pointed to a certain room in the research institute.

"Decryption game? Hey, why are you playing this all of a sudden..."

He was very puzzled, and felt that it was a waste of time, but since it was a game that Shiho, who looked like an old man, wanted him to play with him, he had no reason to ignore it.

According to the code to find the unused room, Qian Mu found a new code piece of paper and a... photo in a particularly hidden corner of the room?

Qian Mu turned the photo to the front, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

The picture is a bit blurry, and there is also a problem with focusing. It is obviously a sneak shot with a mobile phone, but the back in the corner of the photo has its own color, which is extremely vivid.

It is his own back.

This frozen scene is so ordinary that it is impossible to tell when it was taken, because the background is in the kitchen of the "home", with his back to the camera, as if he was chopping vegetables...

Qian Mu checked the photos repeatedly, but still found nothing special, so he put away the photos in doubt, unlocked the password in ten seconds, and went to the next room.

He found a new code slip, an unremarkable photo.

This time, the background of the photo was changed to a certain restaurant, and it was still a candid shot, but he changed from a back view to a side view, with the dessert cabinet facing him directly in front of him.

Qian Mu had a little impression of this restaurant in Osaka. He took Miyano Shiho there. The signature pudding is really delicious.

After putting away the photos, Qian Mu, who was getting more and more puzzled, continued to decipher.

The codes on the pieces of paper became more and more difficult, and in the end, Qian Mu had to think for a while before he could solve a code, plus the time spent looking for things everywhere—the morning time was so delayed.

There is already a thick stack of photos in Qian Mu's hand, and I don't know when Miyano Shiho secretly took so many photos.

And the content of the photos sorted over time has changed from the initial back view to countless fronts—sometimes, there is an extra person.

Akai Hideichi will appear with him in the kitchen, in the yard, and in the laboratory, and they will be photographed and turned into developed photos one by one.

"Do you want me to keep it as a souvenir?" Qian Mu wondered again, so why did you choose today?

Still not reacting, he circled around the research institute without knowing anything, and was not able to return to the ground until it was supposed to be the last signal.

The ultimate answer to the secret code is the "kitchen" that doesn't quite match.

After playing the decryption game all morning, it was just right, and it was time for lunch, and they were pretty accurate.

Thinking this way, without any surprise or expectation, the red-haired young man who just breathed a sigh of relief was about to walk into the restaurant.

He suddenly heard the conversation that was still coming out despite lowering the volume.

"...No! It's too ugly to do this. I refuse to show him this ugly thing. Instead..."

"It's running out of time...Girl, if you want to, just..."

"Damn...why can't I even make a cake...it's obviously, his important...birthday..."

"........."

Qian Mu's footsteps stopped abruptly.

--Birthday?

—Birth, day...does it mean mine?

A huge stupefaction descended on his frozen body.

Akai Shuichi's seemingly unintentional inquiry about the meaning of the "deciphering game" was suddenly explained.

It was indeed a surprise, and it was indeed a little touching.

A barrier that was supposed to be strong was smashed by the two people who knew nothing inside, revealing a softness hidden under it.

but……

There is no point in "celebrating his birthday" for him.

Yuan Qianmu—no, Li Qianmu.

The birth of "Li Qianmu" is not something worth celebrating.

This person was born as a "defective product" destined to be destroyed. If he hadn't been unwilling to struggle to the death, he would have rotted under the soil long ago, and no one would remember his existence.

And he held on to his broken life that no one cared about, and he did not hesitate to disrupt the trajectory of the two worlds. Countless people changed their fates because of his selfish desires. , Accompany him to move forward persistently.

The birth of such a selfish, arrogant, and indifferent person is a "disaster" for the vast majority of people.

Therefore, it should be forgotten rather than celebrated.

Even for a very small number of people, he changed their fate, but he did bring them vitality and happiness...

——This still doesn't explain anything.

Qian Mu is well aware of his true face.

He began to hesitate whether to go in or not.

Hmm... You still have to go in. They prepared this "surprise" for him out of good intentions. He can't spoil their interest, as long as he doesn't behave strangely.

Qian Mu raised his hand and rubbed his stiff face, dispelling some of the gloom from the dark and distorted memories, and gave a pretty good smile.

He stepped up and walked into the restaurant.

"The last code is unlocked, it's here...huh? This is...a birthday cake?"

"When did you know about my birthday? You have made so many preparations... you guys made the cake? Haha, how could you dislike it? I'm too late to be moved. I used to forget it for various reasons, but now I think about it Now, don't worry, with your reminder, I will never forget it in the future."

"Thank you, Shiho, Rye, for letting me taste your perfect results. Today, I..."

"very happy."

The red-haired young man actively took the knife, cut the hip-pull cake jointly made by the kitchen killer and the new culinary star, and carefully divided it into three portions.

The cake embryo was crooked, and the cream that was squeezed out of shape was also crooked. The most normal one was probably the patterned fruit slices spread out by Shuichi Akai.

He cut too fast, and Miyano Shiho hadn't had time to insert the candle according to the procedure, and then ask him to make a wish after lighting it, oh wait, the important procedure of singing the happy birthday song has not gone!

"Sliced ​​cakes are also fine--! The candles are plugged in, brother, you don't have to sing the birthday song, and you can't miss the wish, so hurry up and think of one."

"Okay, then I will—"

"Ketor, it won't work if you say your wish."

"It's so troublesome... Well, I will quietly make a wish in my heart, hoping that it will come true."

Leaning over, the red-haired youth lightly blew out the candle.

But his heart was blank, and the moment he blew out the candle, he didn't make a wish at all.

His heart was cold, as if he had returned to the empty plain where there was only severe cold.

……

……

Unsurprisingly.

It is useless to make a wish, no matter how many wishes are made, he has never been favored by illusory gods.

inside the laboratory.

Qian Mu quietly looked at the results of thousands of tests.

- missing data, failed.

—Unknown response, failure.

--fail.

--fail.

--fail.

……

Counting from the day he got this mysterious gem, he spent three years on it in order to get close to the bright hope. He isolated himself from the crowd and locked himself in a lonely and terrifying underground.

He who was thinking quietly was still rational.

"Rye, have you heard from my brother that he suddenly wants to show us something?"

Miyano Shiho has been inexplicably flustered since the morning.

The progress of the experiment was quite bad, and she gradually became anxious, but Brother Qianmu was still calm, which was really worrying and surprising.

She was worried that if he didn't come out for breakfast in the morning, he would soak in the laboratory and stay up all night while she and Rye were not paying attention.

"I haven't heard him mention it, maybe it's an interesting new discovery that has nothing to do with the experiment?" Akai Hideichi didn't know.

The two came to Qianmu's laboratory. When they wanted to enter the password, they bumped into the door. The door opened straight back, exposing the light source in the room.

Didn't even close the door?

This kind of low-level mistake is not like that person would make.

"Are you here? Come in, just in time, I just brought the things over."

Qianmu's peaceful voice never showed signs of fatigue, as if he had stayed up all night.

The two walked in safely.

"You don't eat..."

As soon as Miyano Shiho's complaint came to his lips, Akai Shuichi's eyes fell to the front, the seemingly ordinary figure.

The man's complexion changed instantly, his eyes filled with unbelievable astonishment: "... Ketor?!"

"Ok?"

Qian Mu tilted his head slightly, followed the man's staring gaze suspiciously, touched his own face, and slid down again.

The fingertips were covered with half-condensed and half-dry cream, and something wet the jaw at some point, and stained a large part of the collar.

"Is it dirty here too? There's no way, let's change clothes later, let's not talk about this for now."

He got up and opened a box that was solemnly placed on the table, like a person who got a precious treasure, and couldn't wait to show his harvest to important people to appreciate.

"Look."

"This is the gemstone that is said to give people immortality... a beautiful color, isn't it?"

"I used this gemstone to make some accessories. It's the first time I made this kind of thing, and the craftsmanship is relatively rough. It will be fine to polish it later."

"Choose one and see, do you have a favorite style?"
