Chapter 24 Living Together

Blaise's words sound nice, but in reality they just want to imprison him in another place.

Ana Shen watered the flowers while looking out the window at the simulated sunlight and streets.

The materials downloaded from the Internet, after being processed by Blaise and his team, coupled with top-notch monitors, are almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

Of course there is no sunlight sixty meters underground.

Ana Shen stared at the little boy who repeatedly appeared on the street begging his mother to buy candy, sighed, and turned off the holographic simulation.

The beautiful street outside the window, which was bustling with people, immediately turned into a white wall.

This was the second day after he was sent underground.

The overall layout of the room is similar to that of a small villa, with three floors. The first floor is a functional area, the second floor is a rest area, and there are two large bedrooms, just right for him and Blaise to have one each.

I don’t know about the third floor. The elevator leading to the third floor has a password lock, and Blaise didn’t tell him the password.

Ana Shen picked up a magazine at random, sat down on the lazy sofa next to the bookshelf, relaxed his limbs, and looked up at the star-shaped chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

It is hard to imagine that there will be a day when I would voluntarily be imprisoned.

Blaise's mental state was not right after leaving the castle. Although he behaved as usual, his words and actions were filled with subtle anxiety.

Ana Shen could feel it.

Shen Yan felt that it might be his arrival that promoted the development of the original plot, causing Blaise, who was supposed to burn Mobius two years later, to have this idea now and really wanted to implement it.

He regards Blaise as a friend, and Blaise also regards him as a friend. The distorted family education makes Blaise different from normal people, and the way he treats his friends is also different.

The abnormal possessiveness towards him actually reflects all the desires that Blaze had not been satisfied or forcibly suppressed since he was a child.

Ana Shen didn’t like being controlled, let alone imprisoned, but he knew that if he proposed to leave at this time, Blaise would probably collapse.

Shen Yan couldn’t bear to part with it.

He wasn't the type to make his friends sad.

Ana Shen lowered his eyes and turned a page of the magazine in his hand, which contained relevant reports about District 7.

——Eternal Technology and Daydream Technology reached a cooperation for the first time and made new progress in biotechnology.

——Rose Laboratory suffered a terrorist attack, and some of the escaped experimental subjects were shot on the spot. We hope that the general public will be careful to guard against unknown creatures, and contact the security team immediately if any accidents occur.

——The much-anticipated Federal Military Academy Competition is about to begin, and online ticket sales will be available soon, so stay tuned.

Shen Yan's fingertips passed over the Rose Laboratory, and he thought of Ruan Zhixian for the first time this month.

The last phone call before he was kidnapped was made to him. With Ruan Zhixian's ability, he would have saved the person long ago.

Now that he was allowed to be locked up, Ana Shen felt that it might be for two purposes.

One is that he was unable to cope with so many tasks. In the original book, after he got off the boat, he went straight to the Rose Research Institute to rescue Valen, and he spent a lot of effort to subdue Valen.

Second, Ruan Zhixian is still observing.

Observe him.

Before coming to this world, Shen Yan's fundamental understanding of the male protagonist from the book was just one word: crazy.

Act without scruples, harm others at will, keep strangers away and even acquaintances away.

But after actual contact, Ana Shen always felt that this person was not that simple.

He seemed to be looking for something, and all his actions were to support his "search".

Shen Yan only had such an abstract idea based on reality. It was a bit far-fetched to use this vague idea to explain Ruan Zhixian's behavioral logic.

Ana Shen smiled.

Just like Ruan Zhixian was also digging into the logic behind his behavior.

In a way, they are a bit similar.

Shen Yan rubbed his wrist and found that the wound had already shed off, leaving only a shallow white mark. His recovery ability was good, and there were not many marks left by Ruan Zhixian.

It's not bad to stay here. At least I don't have to worry about being...

Ana Shen suddenly came to her senses and quickly interrupted her thoughts.

Can’t set a flag!

Good things don’t work, but bad things do.

Shen Yan didn't believe this at first, but now he has to believe it.

He shuddered and quickly struck the electronic wooden fish twice to drive away the evil spirit.

-

A few days later, Blaise came back.

After hearing the voice, Ana Shen hurried to the entrance to find him. When the elevator opened, Blaise, who was pale and had dark circles under his eyes, looked at Ana Shen and barely pulled the corners of his mouth.

"Why aren't you asleep? Did I wake you up?"

“No, I’ve been awake.” Ana Shen leaned over and asked worriedly, “You look so bad, how long have you not rested?”

"fine."

Blaise didn’t say much, and took two steps forward. Ana Shen was afraid that he would fall, so he hurried to meet him.

Blaise pushed Ana Shen away and shook his head slowly.

"I'm fine, just... a little sleepy."

Ana Shen became even more worried, and circled Blaise back and forth, fearing that he would become distracted and bump his head against the wall.

Fortunately, Blaise had no accidents along the way. He put on his pajamas and slept perfectly in his bed.

Ana Shen stayed by the bed for a while, and returned to her room only after Blaise fell asleep.

midnight.

Shen Yan, who was sleeping next door, suddenly heard the sound of gunshots.

He didn't even have time to put on his shoes and ran into Blaise's bedroom barefoot.

Blaze held the gun tightly in both hands, his expression stern, sweat on his forehead wet his hair, his pupils trembling, and the moment he heard Shen Yan coming in, he immediately turned the muzzle of the gun towards him.

The gun had been emptied of bullets, and only a clicking sound could be heard when the trigger was pulled continuously.

Ana Shen kept pushing the door open, and waited until Blaise suddenly woke up, threw the gun away, gritted his teeth and lowered his head, then he slowly moved over.

Blaise’s breathing was rapid, and Ana Shen carefully stroked his back to guide his breathing.

After the stiff muscles in his back completely softened, Ana Shen jokingly leaned over to look at Blaise.

"Oh, crying, crying, the little princess has turned into a little cat."

Blaze's eyes were red, but there were no tears. He slowly pushed Ana Shen's smiling face out, and his voice was calm and cold, "Ana Shen, I will arrange an identity and pass for you to go to District 8. You don't have to wait for me."

He drew in a breath so quickly it sounded almost like a sob.

"I will hurt you."

Ana Shen supported his head and said without thinking: “No.”

Blaise looked at him steadily, and after a while, he sneered, "Can't you understand what I mean?"

"Then let me be frank. You are a burden. I hate you and want you to get out. Do you understand now?"

Shen Yan was speechless: "Princess, your mood changes too quickly, it's so fake."

Blaze: "Who are you kidding?"

"Don't cry if you have the guts." Shen Yan leaned over and rubbed Blaze's wet eyelashes. He really couldn't bear to see others like this, so he hooked his shoulder like a brother and said, "Tell me about your situation, and I'll see if there's anything I can do to help."

Blaze's nerves, which had been slightly relaxed, suddenly tensed up because of Shen Yan's words. He immediately turned his head and glared at Shen Yan fiercely, his voice trembling: "Do you want to die?"

Ana Shen was stunned by his stare, and said inexplicably: “I don’t want to.”

"Then don't say such suicidal words." Blaise said coldly: "Who do you think you are? Help me? How can you help me?"

“Alan Ana, can you not be so arrogant? It’s disgusting.”

Ana Shen said nothing and looked at Blaise quietly.

The air became very quiet.

A warm yellow night light hangs at the head of the bed, but the atmosphere is not made more cozy by the night light.

Ana Shen waited for a while, and seeing that Blaise didn’t look at him and had no intention of speaking, he stood up and said lightly:

"If you don't need it, forget it. Have a good rest. I'm going to sleep too."

Ana Shen turned and left. Blaise looked up suddenly, his lips moving as if he wanted to call Ana Shen's name, to apologize, to ask him not to leave and to stay with him longer.

In the end, I suppressed this desire.

He was ready for Ana Shen to leave him, and he shouldn’t try to keep her.

It was because of his inappropriate desire that Shen Yan encountered risks, causing him to be awakened by nightmares every day during the following period.

He was afraid to see Ana Shen lying bloody in front of him like something he had loved.

Blaise pressed his brows hard with the base of his palms. His brain seemed to be flowing in his head, and every breath brought a needle-like pain.

I have to face that troublesome Bosen tomorrow. I wonder how this old guy who was exiled has the nerve to come back.

He also fell in love with Ana Shen, and had a big fight with his family.

His methods became much more severe. He incited other fools in the family to go against him in the name of doing good for him.

The key is not to touch him for the time being, so as not to alert the enemy and lose the current favorable situation.

The arrangement of explosives has not been completed yet, and it is unknown when the detonation will take place. He must make sure to kill all Mobius so that they can no longer pose any threat.

Blaise lay down, closed his eyes, and rolled his eyeballs. He was extremely nervous and couldn't fall asleep at all. He tossed and turned in bed, which was just torture.

Any sound was infinitely amplified, and countless true and false images, from small to large, flashed through his mind. All the emotions that tortured him were, for some reason, particularly clear on this night.

Knock knock.

Blaise's eyes snapped open and he sat up, his voice hoarse beyond belief.

"Enter."

Ana Shen, wearing soft white pajamas, opened the door and walked straight into the house silently.

Under Blaise's fixed gaze, he opened the quilt, got into bed, and very naturally moved Blaise's pillow to the side to make room for himself.

Blaise opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "You..."

Shen Yan: "What do you mean?"

“I didn’t say where I was going to sleep.” Ana Shen raised her hand to brush away the strands of hair that were about to pierce Blaise’s eyes, “You don’t mind if I share a blanket with you, do you?”

Blaze spoke faster than his brain, staring straight at Ana Shen, “I don’t mind.”

"I guess so."

Ana Shen lay down facing Blaise and rubbed his eyes. “Apart from all the complicated factors, you should have something to say to me.”

Blaise also lay back down, groping for Ana Shen’s sleeve, his eyes flickering, and after a while, he said in a low voice: “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay.” Ana Shen leaned over and kissed him, pulling the quilt to their chins, “Go to sleep.”
