Oracle [Transmigration Book]

That afternoon, Chu Mingyi, who had been suffering for four consecutive days, went to the hospital for a reexamination for the first time, but was scolded by the doctor and sent to the inpatient department for forced hospitalization.After staying for a long time, he couldn't help sneaking out of the ward and drove back to Chu's house.

Song Si's words burned his brain into a muddy state, from morning to night, until he couldn't think about anything all day long, and when he opened and closed his eyes, it was the water tank that almost trapped him to death.On the way home, he detoured to his alma mater, parked the car in an old residential building next to his alma mater, climbed up to the top floor, and returned to the place where he first met Song Si.

The residential building is seriously aging, and there are big demolished characters written on the wall. There are no residents living in it, and the corridors are pitch black.Chu Mingyi didn't turn on the flashlight, and walked up the memory layer by layer in the darkness. Every step he took was like stepping on the intersection point of time and space. It seemed that he was in the sea of ​​double consciousness of a certain suspect, and he was working hard. Find an anchor to come home to.

The concrete floor of the roof used to grow thick moss, and it was cracked and mottled by the perennial exposure to the sun.The big water tank was still in its original place, but it had already been smashed.Chu Mingyi stood on the edge and looked inside. The place of despair that almost trapped him to death when he was a child now seems to be no more than waist high, and he can move it away with one hand, showing a completely opposite vulnerability.

He lit a cigarette, sat down against the dusty vat wall, and listened to the quiet night wind pouring in through the broken mouth, whimpering inside.

After only staying for one cigarette, he stubbed out the cigarette and stood up, gently patted the mouth of the water tank, turned and left the roof.

It was past nine o'clock when I drove home, and my elder brother was still recovering from his rehabilitation, so Chu Mingyi went to eat in the kitchen by himself.Halfway through the meal, the sound of a wheelchair rolling on the wooden floor came from behind him. He turned around and found that Chu Mingxiao was sitting in the wheelchair with a calm expression, and said, "Is there still time to go home?"

Chu Mingyi put down his chopsticks and couldn't eat anymore.

He asked his elder brother, "Have you watched the news these days?"

"Look," Chu Mingxiao obviously knew what he was going to say, "You lost Xiao Si."

This sentence was like a blunt knife, cutting Chu Mingyi speechless for a while.

He was silent for a while, then said, "Sorry."

Hearing his apology, Chu Mingxiao didn't know what he was thinking, with a complicated expression on his face, and shook his head.

Chu Mingyi said again: "Brother, Song Si was kidnapped and you are his adoptive father. There are some issues that require your cooperation in the investigation."

When he said the word "adoptive father", he stared closely at Chu Mingxiao's face, but Chu Mingxiao did not show any surprise, as if he had expected it long ago, and only asked: "What did you find out, he told your?"

Chu Mingyi looked at his micro-expression: "I found it."

"It's not an adoptive father." Chu Mingxiao pushed the wheelchair, slowly approached Chu Mingyi's side, and met his gaze, "I never considered myself a adoptive father, and he never called me father. I was just his guardian. Witnesses, teachers, half-friends, and fiancés."

Chu Mingyi couldn't help but gritted his teeth: "For more than ten years, you never mentioned it to me."

Chu Mingxiao patted his arm lightly, and sighed: "You are close to his age and have a good temper. I wanted you to protect him and grow up together, but Xiao Si refused to mention it. You don't know his existence, he But I do know that when you were young, you liked to play flying chess on the balcony, and he would always lie by the window and watch quietly, and probably regarded you as an older brother."

Chu Mingyi curled up his fingers.

"Why did you adopt him?"

Chu Mingxiao said: "I am a non-marriage advocate, but I like children."

Chu Mingyi said almost immediately: "You are an unmarriageist, why are you engaged to him?"

This question made Chu Mingxiao quiet for a few seconds, his deep eyes fixed on his younger brother.

Chu Mingyi collected all his emotions and let himself wait for his answer as if he were dealing with a routine investigation.

"I will fulfill all his wishes, as long as it is within my ability." Chu Mingxiao said, "Even if what he said that day was not engagement but marriage."

This answer made Chu Mingyi feel a little breathless.

"He really mentioned it?"

Chu Mingxiao showed a little smile, unexpectedly very calm, said: "He was drunk, and insisted on competing with me when he was drunk, and refused to take back what he said when he was angry. He seems to have been competing with me all these years , I don’t know why.”

When Chu Mingyi heard his elder brother talk about Song Si naturally and familiarly, a sour feeling seeped out from his internal organs, making him feel uncomfortable and anxious.He glanced at the ring on Chu Mingxiao's hand, and there was a question that he had endured for many years. Even though he knew that this question was beyond the scope of investigation, he still blurted out: "You are engaged to him, because you really want to be with him?"

Chu Mingxiao remained silent for a few seconds, and also looked at her ring.

Chu Mingyi's fists were already clenched, but he heard that the eldest brother didn't answer directly, but only said: "I said, I will fulfill all his wishes. Mingyi, is this one of the contents of your investigation?"

"Yes." Chu Mingyi inhaled slowly, lowered his eyes to restrain his emotions, and instead of continuing to delve into it, asked instead: "Brother, do you know about Song Si's life experience?"

Chu Mingxiao said: "I know. His mother's case was the first case I handled after joining the Special Investigation Bureau."

"Then, you still chose to adopt him knowing his background, did you already know the special features of his ability?"

Chu Mingxiao said again: "I know. No one in this world knows better than me."

Chu Mingyi immediately asked back: "Is the adoption of Song Si related to your research on the Sea of ​​Consciousness?"

Chu Mingxiao smiled: "No, I never used him, nor did I do anything to hurt him."

"Liu Cenning used Ninghai Medicine to spread acquired supernatural powers and plot against Song Si. Did you already guess it?"

"I guessed it." He admitted without hesitation.

Chu Mingyi's pupils shrank, and Chu Mingxiao's answer was too blunt, which made him stunned for a while, and his eyes gradually became unbelievable: "You...you guessed it a long time ago. You and Liu Cenning..."

Chu Mingxiao shook his head, simply cleaned up his younger brother's leftover noodle bowls, pushed the wheelchair into the kitchen, took out two vanilla flavored ice creams from the refrigerator, and put one of them in front of Chu Mingyi.

"I have nothing to do with Liu Cenning. When Liu Cenning's incident happened, I had already retired, and I was no longer a member of the Special Investigation Bureau. I have no position to intervene in this matter. Of course, speaking of selfishness, I just don't want to interfere with Secretary Song. Remember what I said just now? I am only Song Si’s guardian and witness. Unless he asks me, I will never interfere in his life.”

This explanation is simply a joke.

When Chu Ming realized the blood-filled bathtub in the clinic, and thought of the sniper laser on Song Si's forehead in the square, he felt angry.

He stood up from the chair, put his hands on the table, as if meeting Chu Mingxiao for the first time, his eyes were full of anger and disbelief: "You concealed Song Si's life experience, concealed Song Si's true ability, guess what?" When Liu Cenning's goal was reached, he kept his mouth shut, watching Song Si being forced to commit suicide by slitting his wrists, and then seeing him being robbed for the second time. Brother, while you say you love him, you will fulfill all his wishes, Watching him sinking into the mire, what are you going to do?"

Chu Mingxiao didn't look at him, but just looked down at the ice cream on the table.

Chu Mingyi's breathing that became thicker due to anger was clearly audible at the dining table. After a period of stalemate, Chu Mingxiao's breathing gradually became thicker. He pinched the ice cream scoop, emphasized his tone, and repeated: "I I will never interfere with his life trajectory, and I have no right to make any decisions for him. Adopting him back to the Chu family is already my arrogance..."

"Arrogance?" Chu Mingyi interrupted him, "Why, do you also think Song Si is some kind of bullshit god, a fairy who descended from heaven and earth, and came to the mortal world for calamity?"

Chu Mingxiao raised her head and met her younger brother's eyes.

The spoon was made of stainless steel and was deformed in his hands.

"Yes." he said.

Before Chu Mingyi got angry again, he threw the deformed spoon into the trash can, and called his younger brother by name: "Mingyi, the ice cream is about to melt."

Chu Mingyi heard his teeth being bitten and creaked, and when he was extremely angry, he felt chills.He glanced at the ice cream, Song Si likes to eat it, so all kinds of ice creams are always frozen in the freezer at home, but now that person has been kidnapped, leaving two people who never like desserts Hypocrisy here.

He sat down again, with no expression on his face, and said: "I won't eat ice cream. Last time I ate a few ice creams from him in the clinic, and I was angry with me for several days. Brother, tell me."

Chu Mingxiao put the ice cream he didn't eat back into the freezer. When the door was opened, Chu Mingyi took a look inside. There were dozens of ice creams neatly piled up inside, all of which were vanilla flavored.

"You are well aware of my supernatural power," Chu Mingxiao said, "I have been able to freely enter and exit the sea of ​​consciousness since I was born."

Of course Chu Mingyi knew that when he was in college, Chu Mingxiao had already been included in their latest textbook.The term "sea of ​​consciousness" itself is a theory put forward by Chu Mingxiao, and all the means related to the sea of ​​consciousness used by the Special Investigation Bureau now carry the shadow of Chu Mingxiao.

He said: "What does this have to do with Song Si?"

The corners of Chu Mingxiao's mouth moved, as if feeling something: "When I was young, I didn't have the ability to distinguish. I always thought that the world in the sea of ​​consciousness was real, so until now, I often can't tell which world is real. Which world is false. And in my sea of ​​consciousness, I can see a beautiful blue star, so beautiful that it cannot be described in any words, so beautiful that no matter who sees it, it will be captured..." Speaking of this, His tone was uncontrollably lighter, as if afraid of disturbing something, he said cautiously: "I have seen him for more than forty years, the sun is my annual ring in the real world, and he is my annual ring in the conscious world , He used his gravity to pull me, so that I kept turning in my own orbit..."

"That's Song Si's true face." Chu Mingxiao looked at Chu Mingyi, "Your ability is too overbearing, I can't take you into the sea of ​​consciousness to see it with my own eyes, so many things can't be understood by you. Liu Cenning The thought is not groundless, sometimes even I think, maybe it was because I couldn't control my greed and adopted him from the orphanage that changed his original life trajectory. He could have become his Be anything you want to be, god, king, creator...anything."

Chu Mingxiao's hands tightly gripped the wheelchair, her knuckles turned white: "I've already made a mistake once, so I can't make the same mistake again and again."

The living room fell into silence, and Chu Mingyi felt his hands and feet go cold from the description of his elder brother.

He suddenly felt very sad, as if the apex of his heart had been pricked by a needle, and felt sorry for Song Si.

He said: "What if Song Si chooses to commit suicide again, without me pulling him out of the bathtub this time, what if he just dies in a place that we don't even know?"

Chu Mingxiao did not speak for a long time.

His facial features were like solidified sculptures, as if he had sunk deeply into the nightmare described by Chu Mingyi.

"Xiao Si..." Chu Mingxiao's voice was a little hoarse, "It doesn't belong to the real world. Death is the imprisonment of mortals. For him, it may be liberation."

Chu Mingyi slowly took a deep breath.

"You are crazy." Chu Mingyi said, "You, Liu Cenning, Wu Jin, and that oracle organization, you are all a bunch of self-righteous lunatics."

"While claiming to be a believer, calling him a god, claiming to be a guardian, raising him, but no one really wants to get to know him. Brother, don't you want to know why Song Si keeps fighting with you? Because he He doesn't want to be anyone, he just wants to be a free and easy ordinary employee, he wants to show you ordinary, and he wants you to find out how wrong he is."

Chu Mingyi stood up from the chair again.

He was suddenly bored by the interrogation.

"I'm back in the game," Chu Mingyi picked up his coat, unwilling to look at Chu Mingxiao again, "I still have to rescue that guy Song Si intact."

Chu Mingxiao lowered her head.Until Chu Mingyi walked to the entrance, closed the door and left the main house, he was still sitting at the dining table, looking at the engagement ring on his hand.
