[Comprehensive] Doudou, you don't understand love

[The countdown to leaving the world begins. 】

【Countdown...】

【Countdown...】

……

……

She was drenched in cold sweat, and opened her eyes suddenly.

It seems that I heard some frightening disturbing voice in the dream, but after waking up, I can't recall what I dreamed.

['Always' can't remember. 】

She was stunned for a moment.

This kind of subconscious cognition passing through her mind reminded her somewhat vaguely that she seemed to have this dream often——

The beautiful rococo carvings carved on the ceiling reflected in the divergent line of sight—of course, that is just an illusion created by the holographic projection—this is just an old apartment with cheap rent.

No matter how much one disagrees with the use of projectors instead of interior decoration, "technological aggression" is still inevitable.After all, this house has been around for some years. If the projection is not turned on to cover it up, the old decoration will look very dilapidated.

【projection. 】

Thoughts froze for a while.

It was only then that she remembered the meaning of "projection".

——This era and this country have advanced projection technology.

Clothes, interior decoration, and natural scenery are all replaced by projections, and people have relied on projections to the extreme.As long as 50% of the infrastructure is achieved, projections can be used to achieve 200% beautification, making buildings, streets, and rooms a perfect utopia.

[This is "common sense" that exists in her memory. 】

Thinking of this, she felt a little strange that she instinctively repeated "common sense" in her mind in detail like memorizing.

But the urge to think has become lazy for some reason.Putting aside nagging doubts, she blamed this laziness on her abnormal state.

My head hurts, my sleep is poor, and I can hardly think.

Thinking of this, she raised her elbows and sat up from the bed, and a voice came from behind her.

"cold?"

She turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw him——walking in from the door.

He is dressed in casual clothes at home, with clear and handsome features; his temperament is not only tough from long-term training, but also a student spirit that has not faded as a graduate who has just left college.

He walked all the way to her bed, bent down and tried her forehead with a slightly worried expression, and he was relieved after a while.

"The fever is gone. Would you like something to eat?"

She shook her head. "...had another nightmare."

Hearing this, he withdrew his hand and sat patiently on the side of the bed, "What nightmare?"

"It's nothing." She felt as if her thoughts were split in two, and the half of herself who was confused heard the other half of herself making a voice that seemed to be disobedient: "Probably one of the complications of drug withdrawal."

【'drug'. 】

As the word was uttered, the mind sank subtly into deeper confusion; in such a state of inability to think, she heard herself asking him again, "How long have I been sober?"

"It's been almost eight months. There should be no more physical dependence. The only thing that needs to be solved is psychological dependence." He said in a deep voice, raising his hand to brush the sweaty hair on her forehead.

"Relax, Rin. I will always be with you."

【cold. 】

She was fascinated by this address, and out of the corner of her eye, she looked over his shoulder and saw the glass bracelet on the bedside table.Inside each glass bead on the bracelet is a playful dolphin, which glows a clear ocean blue under the light.

She blinked, suddenly, as if she had been pulled out of a dream, she woke up with a clear and sharp mind.

He followed her line of sight, and brought the string to her casually, "It's not easy to fix this thing. After it was broken, I said I would go to the aquarium to buy another one, but you didn't agree. The broken ones stick together."

"...It's different." She took the bracelet and instinctively pulled a smile at the corner of her mouth. "After all, this is the first gift I received."

He showed a helpless expression. "Since that's the case, you should cherish it at that time. Who is the guy who did such a cruel thing by smashing the gift given by others while crying and saying 'we're done'?"

She laughed softly, opened her hand and fell towards him, and he naturally reached out to catch it.She lay on his chest and said lazily, "Professor Tsururu Rin made a surprise attack—"

"There is no such strange trick." His voice hummed lowly above her head with a smile. "And you just passed the suitability judgment, and you haven't officially entered the job yet."

"It's okay, anyway, I've already filled out the volunteer form. What about you? Have you decided where to go?"

"It's hard to choose. My seven scores are all full. I probably can't find a decent job that I can't do."

"Stop showing off, Mr. Nitto's Chief."

"I'm really sorry, I didn't pay attention to the exam and did well in the exam, which made you the second place in Ridong."

She wrapped her arms around his waist. "Aren't you considering going back to Nitto as a lecturer with me? Professor Kamohara really wants you to stay."

He caressed the back of her head, and replied bluntly: "It can be considered. Let's not talk about this, let's clean up. I have a dinner with Yiye today. He has also completed the fitness judgment, and it is just time to inquire about his whereabouts."

It was already afternoon when the two of them changed their clothes and came out.When she walked to the entrance, she saw him standing there in a light-colored casual dress that fitted him quietly, waiting for her.

They left the apartment and went out into the street.

The moment she came into contact with the sunlight outside, her lazy thoughts, which were soaked in warm water, suddenly became turbulent.

In a flash, she felt as if she had forgotten something.

The afternoon sun is mild and comfortable, and the color of the sky seems to be clearer than usual.

The streets are surrounded by projected green plants, pedestrians are restrained and courteous, everyone is neatly dressed, with a calm and gentle expression.

Don't worry about any terrible things happening, or encountering threats from "bad people", everyone around you can guarantee that they are kind and healthy people who can contribute to society. This is the ideal since the popularization of "prophets" Township.

There was a rolling news broadcast on a giant screen in the street; she looked up and just in time saw a special piece of news——

[A few months ago, the entire estate donated by the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tsururu has been put into the human welfare plan.To commemorate Tsururu's contribution to political and legal reform, it was decided to transform the former Tsururu residence into a miniature museum. 】

……correct.

She renounced all her parents' inheritance, and also abandoned their "past" that now only makes her feel painful; whether it is the wealth they left as a famous family, or the political connections left as a special legacy And "privilege" too...

She turned her head and looked at his slender and well-proportioned back in casual clothes.

The sun had just been covered by clouds, but now it was bright again.In the transformation of light and shadow, something seems to have changed.She blinked, and looked at his meticulous, waistline-tight suit with some confusion, feeling a little strange.

However, this confusion disappeared in just a moment.

The body seems to be a little heavier for no reason.She was a little out of spirits, and she didn't even realize that she had reached her destination—he still gently pulled her to remind her, "Go to the left."

She nodded absently, followed him and turned left into a shopping street, stopping in front of a beautifully decorated restaurant.

A young man with a slender figure and a somewhat stern expression stood at the door of the restaurant, looking down at the watch in his hand from time to time.After seeing them, the man's expression relaxed. "haven't seen you for a long time."

She greeted with a smile: "Yino."

The three greeted each other and entered the restaurant side by side.

After taking his seat, he was the first to ask about Yiye: "Yiye, how are you doing?"

"It's still the same. In a job like mine, there are no occasions where I encounter major challenges, and I live a normal life every day."

"Being well-behaved is perfect for you." He smiled teasingly. "The only inconvenience is that it's hard to meet someone you like as a dog caregiver, right?"

Gino showed an unnatural expression for a short while, then quickly covered it up. "That person has been forcing me to apply for the lover matching service of the prophet system."

"Father is right. You are already 28 years old. Since you graduated from Nitto, you haven't even met a girl you like, have you?" When he mentioned this topic, his expression became more cheerful. "By the way, how is daddy? The relationship between your father and son has eased a lot now, right?"

"He has retired from the Public Security Bureau, and now he is living in an isolation facility for the elderly." Gino avoided the last question, and his expression changed from the slightly lively one to cold and rigid again.As if wanting to change the subject, Gino turned to her again: "Tsururu, how is your body now?"

She had been staring intently at the heat from the rim of the teacup in her hand, and only after hearing this did she regain her senses: "Huh? I've always been fine..."

Yoshino looked at her with slightly stern eyes. "You should pay more attention to the current situation. You are in a special period."

She couldn't react for a moment.

Until Yiye continued: "... After all, you are already pregnant."

She was stunned for a moment, then looked down at her slightly protruding belly.

"...Well, when I walked over just now, I felt a little heavy. I have to pay more attention."

Yoshino's expression relaxed a little, and he sighed lightly. "Time flies so fast. It seems that you just graduated yesterday, and today you have been married for five years." She said and looked at him. "How is Professor Kamohara?"

He nodded and raised the corners of his mouth with emotion: "The teacher's body is still as strong as before. He used to teach us, but now I and he lead the same class of students."

Gino looked him up and down, "You're still wearing a suit, did you just rush back from the academy after class? In another month, you'd better ask for leave and stay at home to take care of Tsururu."

Hearing this, she suddenly remembered with some delay that he had become a professor at Ridong College of Higher Education—he did not choose to join the Public Security Bureau in the adaptability judgment, but chose to stay with her in his alma mater.

Her eyes could not help drifting to Yi Ye.

Gino also achieved excellent results in the adaptability assessment, and is also a rare talent with the qualifications to join the Public Security Bureau... But because Gino's father, Mr. Zheng Lu, ruined his future in the Public Security Bureau, Gino Ye finally chose to become a dog nurse, a gentle occupation that unexpectedly suited him.

The three chatted and ate, and after saying goodbye, they went to the opposite places.When he came to a fork in the road, he put his arms around her shoulders and carried her to the side, "Go for a walk in Daikanyama Park, it's good for digestion."

She nodded, and walked slowly towards Daiguanshan Park together with him.

There are beautiful cherry blossom petals falling everywhere in the street; however, it is not a flower festival, these are the beauty brought by the projection.

Everywhere on the street are beautiful projected green plants filled with the atmosphere of early spring, which makes people feel refreshed.

The sun was slanting down.After walking a certain distance, she couldn't help turning her head to look at him. He immediately noticed it and turned his head to look at her too.

"what happened?"

She couldn't answer for a while, and the hand that was holding his arm subconsciously scraped the sleeve of his suit.

"It always feels like I'm dreaming."

"why?"

She raised the corner of her mouth, "Because the status quo is so perfect." She also felt a little emotional, "If you hadn't found me after the breakup and dragged me out of the sleeping capsule mountain, what would I be like now?"

"No if." He glanced at her. "No matter how many times I come again, I will knock on your door, because no matter what, it is impossible to let go of the bad reason you gave for breaking up."

"Ahaha, is this the so-called attachment of young men?"

"The same goes for middle age, it's called 'weight to wit.'"

Hearing him shake this burden out, she remembered the bad things she did together in the school library, and she laughed and fell on his shoulder. "Before that, beware that the backbone of your wisdom will be broken."

He tilted his head, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a half-smile.

In a trance, the soft sunlight sprinkled through the gaps between the clouds and the building, his eyes were filled with the gentle sunset, showing a warm orange color, reflecting her eyes looking at him.

She closed her eyes and opened them again, suddenly feeling that the temperature was a little low.

He raised his hand and helped her wrap up the scarf; she tightened her hand around his arm, and found that his thick upper coat was very warm, so she couldn't help stuffing her hand into the side of his arm to keep warm.

Spring seems to be over.

The projected snowflakes on the street are sprinkled realistically, and disappear immediately after falling on people.Under the makeup of the projection, the snow scene is full of tranquil vitality.

She turned around, only to find that the two were standing on the street not far from the entrance of the park.She raised her hand to touch the projected snowflakes, and said, "I've been walking here for more than half a year before I know it."

He whispered: "Today is the last time, it is best to rest at home, the temperature has begun to drop."

She jokingly replied: "You have been with me on vacation for so long, don't you feel particularly excited when you think that your child will be born soon and you will be able to return to the podium?"

While talking, the two saw a row of Komissa, mascots of the Public Security Bureau, gathered on the road in front of the entrance of the park from a distance, blocking each other in a row with open arms, blocking passers-by with their cute voices: "This is not accessible, the park is temporarily closed , I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone.”

He glanced at the passers-by gathered beside him, and there stood a man in the uniform of a park worker.Because they often come here for a walk, they are fairly familiar with this staff member.He walked over and asked, "Is the park closed? What's the reason?"

The other party replied: "I'm not too sure about this. I heard from my colleagues that there seemed to be a strange statue in the park, and even the criminal police from the Public Security Bureau came over." He glanced at her as he spoke. "My wife is here too. Let's get out of here as soon as possible, in case something strange happens, it won't be good if it affects the health of Hue."

He frowned and said to her, "let's go."

She came back to her senses and walked away obediently holding his arm.

【specimen. 】

Without warning, the word popped into her mind.

She stopped.He noticed it, and looked back at her: "What's wrong, Rin?"

She looked up at him hesitantly.

【It didn't happen in winter...】

The surrounding scenery changed suddenly, the snowfall stopped abruptly, the projections on both sides turned into emerald green trees, and the snow on the ground was constantly disappearing.

【...It's summer. 】

He still stood there watching her quietly——

She opened her lips and said in a daze, "It's not some strange statue...it's the 'human body specimen'...'human body specimen' incident."

After the voice fell, the noisy human voice just now suddenly disappeared as if the silence button was pressed, and the surrounding sky suddenly darkened.

He stood there motionless as if he hadn't heard it.

The hazy partition that existed in her mind collapsed, and she suddenly woke up.

The surrounding scenery was completely plunged into darkness, she and him stood in the endless eternal night, the only thing that could be heard was her voice.

"The second 'specimen incident' happened that summer, and after that, the crimes committed by that man began to surface. In order to investigate this matter, you went to the isolation facility in Adachi Ward to investigate, and it was at that time that you met arrive……"

She paused, her eyes slightly warmed up.

"...Meet me. You didn't choose to stay in school to become a professor, but joined the Public Security Bureau with Yoshino and became a surveillance officer. Three years later, because your colleague was killed in the specimen incident, you were greatly stimulated and committed a crime. The index soared, and you were downgraded to an executive officer. When we met again, you were already an executive officer. I did not stay in school, but became a doctor in an isolation facility, following that man..."

Like a statue in the dark night, his figure gradually dimmed, exuding a qualityless lifelessness.

"I've been rotting down the wrong path since I left you. No redemption, no turning back, no forgiveness. Sorry. You never..."

Her voice faded.

"...Never came to look for me."

He didn't speak.

His figure began to slowly crack and shatter.

【...But those are also fake. 】

【She wasn't 'Tsururu Rin' from the beginning. 】

Looking at the disintegrating illusion in front of her, she finally called his name in a daze.

"Shen Ye."

He responded very lightly.

"I'm very sorry."

His figure disappeared completely in the darkness.

She closed her eyes, leaving scarlet in her vision.When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a dark and quiet room.

The scarlet afterimage on the retina came from the flames burning in the fireplace in front of him.She stood in front of the fireplace and stared at the dancing flames for a while, then raised her hand to touch her cheek, and her tentacles were wet with tears.

Indulging in hallucinations for too long, every time she "woke up", she would have a sense of confusion, and it was almost impossible to tell which side was reality.

A voice came from behind.

"'are you awake."

She turned her head when she heard the sound.

The silver-haired man, who could not be described as compellingly beautiful, sat on the sofa and looked at him quietly.

The remaining hallucinations were gently stripped out of her mind by his voice, she swallowed the greasy fishy sweet deep in her throat, and asked hoarsely, "How long did this last?"

"Three hours."

She wiped her wet palms on her clothes casually, "It's getting worse."

He stood up, walked slowly towards her a few steps through the firelight reflected on the floor, and stood in front of her.The sound of heavy footsteps reverberated in the room, together with the gloomy and gorgeous decoration around it, forming an extremely uncomfortable and lifeless atmosphere.

——and Makishima Shrine stood there, his silver-white hair dyed orange fire, his facial features finely carved by light and shadow, just like the gatekeeper of this beautiful death cell.
