I may not be human [holographic]

"... If you are generous, you will live without me. If you are humble, you will not believe me."

Standing at the peak of the 99-story tower, Lin Zhengyan looked down at the sea of ​​clouds under his feet, and murmured the very sad last sentence of the entire poem.

If it is possible to return to reality, it is possible to wake up from this unknown state of coma or loss of soul, and it is possible to see his family again, he will eventually... still choose to leave this virtual, unreal world.

and so……

"I'm sorry, Shi Chang'an." Lin Zhengyan murmured in a low voice, "But you have to know, it's not that I don't love you."

He gripped the railing on the edge of the platform with both hands, looked at the sun that was beginning to slant to the west in the distance, and saw the golden light covering the entire sea of ​​clouds, and suddenly felt an urge to turn over and jump out of the platform.

——Actually, it’s not impossible to give it a try. Since his soul has begun to become unstable, maybe the next time he is killed in battle, it will directly break his current situation and bring him back to reality.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhengyan pressed his body tightly against the railing, and leaned out his entire upper body.

The wind on the platform was still very strong, blowing his hair into a mess.The tip of the hair hit his cheek, and there was a slight but brittle pain.

The desire to jump down became stronger and stronger.

But Lin Zhengyan found that his body seemed unwilling to obey the command of this thought.

No, not yet.

Maybe even if you die in battle, you may not be able to return to that world?

It is a bit irresponsible to take so many things from Shi Changan and leave after only playing one important game.

Yes, it should have stayed longer.

He hasn't... said goodbye to Shi Chang'an yet.

Lin Zhengyan pushed the railing of the platform, stepped back half a step, and thought: Wait a little longer.

Then... wait.

At this moment, the sound of the system receiving the message sounded.Lin Zhengyan immediately opened the communication panel, and saw that it was from Shi Chang'an.

Shi Changan: "Climb the 99-story tower on your own initiative, have you figured out how to get off the tower? Stupid boy!"

Lin Zhengyan raised his hand and was about to reply, but suddenly remembered that he really didn't know how to get down from this tower.

After struggling for a while, he pressed the voice button and said, "How about... I jump down?"

Before the message was sent, Shi Changan sent a message first: "If you dare to jump off, I will check your helmet access address right away!"

Lin Zhengyan's fingers trembled in fright, and he sent the message in the blink of an eye.

Lin Zhengyan: ...

Shi Changan: "!!!"

Shi Changan: "On purpose?!"

Lin Zhengyan: "No, my hands are slippery...then how do you say I get down?"

Under the pagoda, Shi Chang'an was full of mixed feelings.My heart is full of emotion, staring at the screen, but I have a headache.

He pressed the center of his eyebrows, and said to the communication panel: "Put on the teleportation ring, and I'll try and see if I can summon you down."

After finishing speaking, he added a sentence without reassurance: "Don't jump!"

Lin Zhengyan: "...can't dance."

After sending the message, Lin Zhengyan took out the teleportation ring from his backpack. After thinking about it, he still put it on the ring finger of his left hand.

He stroked the smooth surface of the ring and sighed helplessly.

The sadness that was brewing just now was interrupted by Shi Changan, and it has long since dissipated completely. Now he is not in the mood to jump off this tower at all - nearly a thousand meters high, it must be very painful to fall, idiot I just jumped.

Lin Zhengyan turned around and leaned against the railing, looking up at the sky.

Forget it, at least for the time being, his soul is fairly stable, it only fluctuates occasionally, and it may not be long before he returns to reality.

Since it's time to leave after all, it's better...to stay a little longer if you can.

— After all, once you go back, you can never come back.

A few minutes later, Lin Zhengyan received a message from Shi Chang'an again: "No, this pair is a one-way teleportation ring, and you can only summon it from your side. Later, I will send you a two-way ring."

Lin Zhengyan: ...

Is this a question of giving rings?

The question is how should he get down the tower now...does it take a few more hours to climb down?

Lin Zheng said, "Then what should we do?"

Shi Chang'an: "Wait a minute, I'll go to the wild and try to drag you."

After a while, a dialog box popped up in front of Lin Zhengyan.

"The commander of the Corps, Shi Chang'an, urgently summoned all the members of the Corps to go to the grassland area. Please prepare for the battle, all officers and privates. Do you want to teleport?"

Lin Zhengyan: ...

Shi Changan's news came in: "Can you pass it on?"

Lin Zheng said: "...it should be possible."

Shi Changan: "Come quickly."

Lin Zhengyan silently pressed "Yes".

The scene in front of him suddenly changed, and he was teleported to the savannah and tall grass prairie outside the Ninth City.

Accompanied by him are countless members of the Time and Space Corps who are bewildered and confused.

"Huh? I thought there was a team battle, what's going on?"

"I'm also wondering, this grassland doesn't seem to be ready for field bosses yet, why did the leader ask us to come here?"

"There is a team battle? There is a team battle? Why didn't I see the system prompt?!"

Shi Changan found Lin Zhengyan in the crowd, hugged him into his arms, bowed his head and kissed his lips deeply.

The time and space corps bewildered the crowd: ...

Commander, did you pull the corps summoning order to show your love for dog abuse? !Commander, have you heard the story of King Zhou You and Bao Si? ! !

Bloody Qiangwei, who was standing in the crowd, rolled her eyes to the sky. After a while, she burst out laughing again, and greeted everyone: "Let's all go away! Our stupid leader probably started to get Zheng Yan from the tower. Probably because he was dazzled by love, he forgot to say something in the group. For the sake of his plunging IQ, everyone forgive him!"

Everyone in the surrounding Corps burst into laughter, mixed with the long-drawn "Yoooo~", and some people chanted loudly: "Hold your hand and grow old with you! It's so romantic!"

When Chang'an let Lin Zhengyan go, he saw the people around him who were drawn by his momentary mistake, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't leave yet."

As he spoke, he opened the system interface, wondering what he was messing with.

Someone asked: "Why don't you leave? Is the group leader going to perform a marriage proposal in public?"

Someone echoed: "Is the head of the group buying an engagement ring and a dress?"

After a while, Shi Changan raised his head and looked around, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing his trademark smirk, and said: "Sorry, I forgot to make an announcement when I called the call. I caused trouble for everyone, and I will send a red envelope to make up for it."

After speaking, he waved his palm.I saw a firework being shot high into the sky with a bang, and immediately, a golden spot of light fell to the ground, and when it touched the ground, it turned into dazzling gold coins.

The system prompts: "Shi Chang'an, the commander of the Corps, lit the gold coin firework at the coordinates (099, 520) of the grassland area, everyone hurry up and grab the gold coins!"

The members of the Time and Space Corps who were summoned immediately burst into cheers.

During the carnival of the members of the Corps, Shi Changan summoned the exoskeleton armor, picked up Lin Zhengyan, drove the propeller on his back, and flew him out of this area.

"Take you somewhere." He said with a smile.

Lin Zhengyan wrapped his arms around Shi Changan's neck, and asked in a low voice, "Where is it?"

Shi Chang'an said: "You will know when it arrives."

Facing the afterglow, the two flew all the way to the border of the grassland area.

This border is actually a cliff, and the cliff is connected to the lush and dense forest area outside the Tenth City.A large river that traverses the grassland flows here, and crashes down from the cliff, forming a huge waterfall that is surging and surging.

Shi Changan took Lin Zhengyan to fly over the cliff, and came to a stone pillar that was almost close to the waterfall under the waterfall.

The stone pillar is towering, but the top is a small platform.Water falls from the side of the waterfall, and occasionally water droplets splash on the platform, reflecting a piece of starlight in the setting sun.

When Chang An landed, he put away the exoskeleton, and hugged Lin Zhengyan into his arms again.

"Zhengyan," he called out, "Zhengyan, I know that you like me."

"I'm very happy...really, very happy."

He didn't kiss Lin Zhengyan, but hugged him tightly in his arms, resting his chin on the young man's thin shoulders, closing his eyes, enjoying the tenderness of this moment.

He said: "Although I was deceived by you into the small dark room, I was also very angry that you went to climb the tower on your own initiative... But I am really, really happy to hear your words and know how much you care for me."

He said, "Yanyan, I would also like to hold hands with you to grow old together."

Lin Zhengyan lowered his eyelashes and sighed inwardly.

After a long time, he raised his hand to hug Shi Changan back, put his palm on his back, and replied in a low voice: "Yes."

The two embraced for a long, long time in front of the waterfall that swayed like a river of stars.

It wasn't until the setting sun became brighter red that Shi Changan let go of Lin Zhengyan and kissed him lightly on the lips.

He didn't mention Lin Zhengyan's claim to climb the tower again, and didn't ask him any questions about reality. Shi Changan smiled and asked, "Is this place beautiful?"

Lin Zhengyan bit his lip and nodded, "It's beautiful."

Shi Changan stretched out his hands to hold Lin Zhengyan's cheeks, stared at his eyes that looked like two bright stars under the sunset and waterfall, and said, "You are beautiful too."

Lin Zhengyan looked back at Shi Changan, tracing every detail of his face with his eyes, trying hard to engrave this face deeply in his mind.

Back to reality, he can't take anything here, so he can only keep this precious memory.

The roaring sound of the waterfall overwhelmed all the surrounding noises, making the place even more peaceful.

Lin Zhengyan looked at Shi Changan, and Shi Changan waited for him to speak.

For a long time, neither of them spoke.

It wasn't until Lin Zhengyan saw a trace of confusion in Shi Changan's eyes that he smiled, raised his hand and gently pushed Shi Changan's chest.

He lowered his eyes and looked at his hand—it was his left hand, with a ring on his ring finger.

At the top of the tower, after he put the teleportation ring on it, he didn't take it off again.

At this moment, looking at the teleportation ring that Chang'an gave him a long time ago, Lin Zhengyan suddenly remembered the scene at that time.

"Didn't you say that you want to give me another ring that can teleport in both directions?" Lin Zhengyan looked at Shi Chang'an with a smile, tilted his head, and asked, "When are you going to give it to me?"

Shi Changan held Lin Zhengyan's hand on his chest and asked, "Are you implying that I propose to you?"

Lin Zhengyan pursed his lips.

After a while, he said in a low voice: "The time you gave me the ring before... that sentence, you ask it again... I will say 'yes'."

Shi Changan only felt his heart tremble.

Lin Zhengyan's words were actually very clear, but they were too out of place.

Isn't it strange that a child who doesn't even want to tell him his real name has emotionally hinted that he is willing to be a partner with him?

Thinking of Lin Zhengyan's abnormal words and deeds in the past two days, Shi Changan couldn't laugh anymore.

He sighed helplessly, reached out and pinched Lin Zhengyan's chin, making him look up at him.

"Do you have something on your mind..." Shi Changan stared at Lin Zhengyan's black eyes, frowning and asked, "...won't you tell me?"
