past
Two red dots on the map were getting closer and closer. Just as they were about to touch, the one being pursued vanished into thin air.
Chen Can squatted under the stone bridge, his face darker than the night. After gloomily turning off the positioning system, Chen Can stared at the dry river in a daze.
He didn't even see a single person. It seemed that Ou Ranyu was determined not to let him interfere. He had previously told Ou Ranyu that he could wait until Ou Ranyu told him the truth in person, but after more than ten days, he had reached the limit of his tolerance.
Chen Can walked back to the bridge, looked up at the moon with a heavy heart, and left dejectedly like a stray dog.
Since location tracking doesn't work, we have to find another way. For example, throw the person into the room, tie him to the bed, and never leave.
Chen Can walked alone in the moonlit night for a long time and did not return home until dawn.
He will go crazy sooner or later, and now he is only a few steps away from becoming a madman, because if he takes a few more steps, he will find that the house is empty.
The silence was maddening.
Chen Can calmly sat down in the living room and poured a glass of water.
Chen Can tried hard to make himself look normal and went about his daily life.
Study, sleep, play games, change the water for the fish, watch anime, and cook.
But his notebook was filled with Ou Ranyu's explanations and highlighted key points; his dreams were filled with things he shouldn't have done; his game accounts were all beginner-level; the fish and fish tank were gifts from Ou Ranshan; his anime history was completely switched; and all the ingredients were chosen by Ou Ranyu. Everything bore Ou Ranyu's imprint.
People who can't get used to being alone will lose their minds as their time slips by. But Chen Can doesn't want that. He just wants to be a normal person and have a normal relationship. But why is it so difficult?
"If it really doesn't work, then talk to someone else?" Zhu Baifeng said tentatively, earning a glare from Chen Can.
"There's no way I'll leave him." Chen Can said calmly.
"The problem is that Ou Ran Island could disappear at any time, and there's nothing we can do about it if we leave the volcano. We don't even know when Ou Ran Island will disappear," Li Yachang said.
"You're right. He's been gone for almost a month. I'm going crazy." Chen Can was still as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
"Did he leave you any hints?" Zhu Youfeng asked.
"No."
"Was there anything unusual when he left?" Li Yachang also asked.
"No."
Chen Can answered them one by one, but got nothing.
From the early morning when he began to recount the whole story to the silence that fell in the evening, Chen Can remained calm without a trace of ups and downs. Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng once thought that he had lost all hope and that the only way to revive him was Ou Ranyu.
"Aren't you going home yet?" Chen Can glanced at the two people still sitting upright in front of him.
"I'm afraid you'll be upset."
"Do you want to eat something? You haven't eaten for a whole day."
Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang were really afraid that Chen Can would become depressed.
"Let's order something to eat." Li Yachang ordered three meals, all of which were Chen Can's favorites.
"The night is still long. Do you want to pick two movies to watch? I heard that a new comedy was recently released and it has a good reputation. Do you want to try it?" Zhu Baifeng was looking for the TV remote control.
Chen Can also understood the concern of these two people. However, he really needed to be alone.
"I know you're worried, I won't do anything rash, I really want to be alone now." Chen Can had already stood up and was about to go back to his room.
"It's okay, just be quiet, we're right down there, call us if you need anything."
"If you need anything, be sure to call us."
Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng didn't dare to force him, so they could only let him go.
Chen Can sat alone in the room for half the night, and Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng also stayed with him in the living room for half the night.
In the middle of the night, a loud noise came from upstairs, waking up Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng who were half asleep.
"Huoshan, what's wrong with you?" Li Yachang knocked on the door and asked, but no one responded.
Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng looked at each other for half a second, and neither dared to move.
"Forget it, let's go in and take a look." Zhu Baifeng opened the door and went into the room.
Chen Canren was still sitting on the bed, but the table lamp on the bedside was broken into two pieces on the ground.
None of the three spoke.
Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng quietly put away the table lamp on the ground and sat down in an inconspicuous place.
"I saw someone when I closed my eyes just now." After a long time, Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng heard Chen Can say this.
"He seems to be dying."
"It seems he's dead."
Could it be Ou Ranyu? !
Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng were terrified.
"Don't be anxious for now." How could he not be anxious? Zhu Baifeng said some nonsense.
"Even seeing isn't necessarily believing. And it's just your imagination?"
"This may be because you are too anxious. You need to relax." Li Yachang comforted him.
"It might be true." Chen Can's eyes lost focus. "I saw him. He was quietly staying in an isolation cabin."
Once a person forms a certain perception, it cannot be changed in a short period of time. Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng were speechless.
"That person is me." Chen Can said.
Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang's hearts were hanging in the air again.
"What?"
"You're talking about yourself?!"
"To be precise, it's me from another time and space, Chen Mo."
The person in the dream that Chen Can and the other two mentioned.
"So he's dying. What's going on?"
Zhu Baifeng didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, so he asked without hesitation.
According to Chen Can's previous description, this Chen Mo, Shi Mingxi and Li La are from the same world. He once worked together with Li La to deal with Shi Mingxi. Later, some things happened, causing him to only exist in his own dreams.
"Maybe what you saw was the Chen Mo of the past?" Li Yachang concluded.
"I couldn't see it originally." Chen Can looked at Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang, "But now I see it."
Chen Can seemed to be talking to himself.
"Li La said that the control of the dream monitoring room can be transferred."
There was no more light in Chen Can's eyes.
"He gave me Chen Mo's dream."
This means that Li La has no ability to continue to control, or is completely controlled by Shi Mingxi, or disappears completely.
All emotions reached a critical point at this moment, as if they were about to burst out.
Chen Can wanted to cry loudly, but his eyes were dry and he couldn't squeeze out a single tear.
How could this happen? Li La was in trouble, and Shi Mingxi didn't know what to do to him. Maybe Ou Ranshan was involved in the disappearance and this incident?
Chen Can only hated himself for not noticing it earlier and for being so slow to react.
"So did you often dream about Chen Mo before?" Li Yachang had vaguely guessed.
Before? When was before? One night, I dreamed of that group of people: Chen Mo, Li La, Ou Zhixu, Shi Mingxi, Gu Jiji, Liu Xiaoxiang, Liu Shubi… Then my mind went blank.
After that day, those people never appeared at night again.
"Maybe Li La did it on purpose." Apart from this reason, Chen Can couldn't think of any other reason.
"There was a time when I didn't dream about Chen Mo at all. But now, I can see him clearly."
Li La left him this blank, probably because he didn't want him to accept the fact immediately, or because Shi Mingxi was still a threat to Chen Can and couldn't easily expose Chen Mo.
In short, Li La will most likely not have an easy life.
"Chen Can, you need to rest." Li Yachang already knew the general situation. Apart from sympathy, he was powerless and could only hope that things would turn around.
"What should we do?" Chen Can suddenly grabbed Li Yachang's shoulders and asked.
The young man in front of her was so eager and anxious. Li Yachang couldn't bear to tell him that there was nothing he could do.
"You just need to get some sleep. There's still room for maneuver." Li Ya often comforted Chen Can, and also comforted herself. Finally, Chen Can was the only one left in the room, as if he was in the vast universe, isolated and helpless.
No one rescued him
powerless
There is nothing I can do.
Chen Can was scared. Scared to see someone with the same face as Ou Ranyu die, scared to see them separated for a long time in another time and space.
Chen Can ran to the Junzi Building of the school overnight. No matter how Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang tried to persuade him, he refused to listen and followed them all the way to the downstairs of the Junzi Building.
Chen Can wants to settle the score with Shi Mingxi.
The moon was high in the sky, and the moonlight was clear. The Junzi Tower was still in ruins. Not much had changed since Su rescued them.
Chen Can and the other two searched the building thoroughly but didn't see anything unusual, as if all the strange things they had encountered here last time were just imaginations.
Why?
"Shi Mingxi, get out here! Aren't we going to reverse time and space? Why don't you get out now!?" Chen Can's shouts echoed in the dilapidated and empty building. If he continued shouting like this, he might attract other people.
Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang took advantage of Chen Can's inattention, knocked him unconscious and carried him back.
"What should we do? Should we send him to the hospital?" Zhu Feng asked with a frown as he carried Chen Can on his shoulders.
"Let's carry it home first. Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine." Li Yachang said worriedly.
Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang took turns carrying Chen Can downstairs.
"Why don't we send him to the hospital? I'm worried that his brain might be damaged..." Zhu Baifeng brought this up as soon as he realized what was happening after he reached the first floor carrying Chen Can on his back.
"Let's carry it home first. Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine." Li Yachang repeated what she said before.
Come again?
Zhu Baifeng quickly put Chen Can down and looked at the "person" behind him.
"Why do I have to repeat the instructions this time? This is rubbish." Zhu Baifeng looked at the "Li Yachang" in front of him with extreme vigilance.
"Where was Li Yachang taken?" The situation was urgent, and Zhu Baifeng had to figure out how dangerous this thing was. "Li Yachang" just mechanically repeated, "Let's carry it home first."
Although there was no attack, Zhu Baifeng still did not dare to be careless. Facing "Li Yachang", he supported Chen Can and slowly retreated.
"go home."
"Li Yachang" could only repeat this word. Zhu Baifeng stepped back with difficulty and looked at the "person" in front of him.
The next second, flesh and blood flew, and red pulp filled the air, like a shower of roses. Zhu Baifeng even forgot to close his eyes, watching "Li Yachang" explode. After a few seconds of reaction, he picked up Chen Can and ran back like crazy.
The house closest to the school is Chen Can’s.
Zhu Baifeng hurried home and placed Chen Can on the sofa, then went to the bathroom to wash his face with water.
Zhu Baifeng's face was covered with real blood and flesh paste, which was already a little dry. If it wasn't the middle of the night and there was no one around, Zhu Baifeng really couldn't guarantee that he could carry Chen Can back.
But was it really Chen Can that he brought back?
The water flowed down Lai Baifeng's lower jaw line and fell on the edge of the speaker.
Zhu Baifeng turned off the faucet and rushed back to the living room to confirm Chen Can's identity. After repeated confirmation, Zhu Baifeng still felt uneasy because the real Li Yachang might still be in Junzi Building.
"A gentleman is well-educated and examines himself daily; then he will be wise and will not make mistakes."
"Is this what you learned?"
Li Yachang didn't know where she was being sent. She was staring at a classroom, trying to figure out a way out, when she suddenly heard a voice behind her.
"Why are you here?" Li Yachang turned around and looked at the person behind her with wide eyes. She saw a face that looked exactly like her own. Aside from the height and the dress, there was no other difference.
Li La stood in front of Li Yachang with a smile on his face, his body becoming blurred.
"I'm sorry, I'm only able to see you in this state right now."
"What did you do?" Li Yachang knew he couldn't hold on for long.
"It's nothing serious, actually. I just wanted you to say goodbye to Chen Can and me. I've already asked them to go back first." Li La looked up at the sky, as if recalling something.
"It's very dangerous here. Shi Mingxi isn't dead yet, but he'll be dead soon. Otherwise, I wouldn't have changed the stand-in program so easily."
"There are so many stories I don't have time to tell you, but you will know them in the future."
"I will never regret anything I have done. Tell Chen Can to take care of that dream. If it doesn't work, just let it break."
"Shi Mingxi won't stay in this world for long. Sooner or later, he'll pay for everything he's done. In fact, everyone will pay."
Li's blurred hand rested on Li Yachang's shoulder.
"Maybe in another hundred years, you will be like me. We should meet again."
Li Yachang was a little dazed and subconsciously grabbed Li Yazhang's wrist, but that part of the wrist turned transparent.
Li Yachang relaxed as if she had been electrocuted.
"Young people are too ruthless." Li La patted Li Yachang's shoulder. "A hundred years is enough."
Li La hugged Li Yachang, gradually dissipated in Li Yachang's blind spot, and finally disappeared completely.
"I'll tell him."
Li Yachang maintained a supportive posture. The sounds of reading around her, the corridors, classrooms, and classmates all disappeared along with Li La.
Remain forever in the fragments of time.
When Zhu Baifeng returned to Junzi Tower, he happened to see Li Yachang standing in a daze under the bright light of the full moon.
"Duck intestines?" Zhu Baifeng shouted from a distance.
Li Yachang came back to his senses and looked at Zhu Youfeng from afar, with countless and unclear pity in his eyes.
"Li La is really gone." Li Yachang felt lost.
Zhu Baifeng was certain it was Li Yachang this time, and he also understood that some people were truly gone. Although they had never met, he knew that Li La had truly existed in their lives, and he knew that Li La was as real as Li Yachang.
"Maybe we will see him again in another time and space." Zhu Baifeng really didn't know how to comfort people, so he could only talk nonsense.
"Maybe." Li Yachang's voice was a little hoarse with sadness.
Zhu Baifeng patted his shoulder and took him back to Chen Can's house.
"He hasn't woken up yet?" Li Yachang looked at Chen Can who was still in a coma, and her heart was stirred again.
"Send him to the hospital now. If we wait any longer, he will wake up." Zhu Baifeng carried Chen Can on his back.
At the same time, a hand climbed up the windowsill and climbed in through the window in a few steps.
"Oh, they're all here." Shi Zhimu brushed off the non-existent dust on his hands.
"Why are you here? What are you doing here?" Zhu Baifeng subconsciously blocked Chen Can.
"Why are you protecting him so much? Do you like him too?" Shi Zhimu smiled with a filthy look on his face, he really deserved a beating.
"Your brain has been kicked by a donkey, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhu Baifeng really wanted to kick Shi Zhimu's head like a ball.
"You, no way." Shi Zhimu was already certain that Zhu Baifeng liked Chen Can, "He, is already Ou Ranyu's, which means he is my daughter-in-law."
"Oh, wish them well, lock them up," Zhu Baifeng said expressionlessly, no longer wanting to argue with a fool.
"That's right. I came to you to convey Ou Ranranyu's intentions.
"What did he say?
"Can you first tell us where he has been these days? Does he know how anxious Lamp is?
"I only know that he is about to disappear." Shi Zhimu's eyes under the purple eyeshadow stared at Chen Can as if they were about to overflow with venom.
"Why not let him come and tell you in person?" A smile appeared on "Dusk of Time"'s face, an almost insane smile.
That was Shi Mingxi.
A second before losing consciousness, Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang suddenly realized it.
What did you say?
I can't hear you.
At the end of the day, Chen Can saw Ou Ranyu saying something to him in the strong light.
Chen Can ran over and tried to catch up to hear what Ou Ranyu said, but he could not hear anything no matter what he did. With every step he took, Ou Ranyu moved one step further away from him. Chen Can could not reach the end of the day, while Ou Ranyu was getting farther and farther away until he became a black dot and completely disappeared at the end of the day.
Chen Can woke up from his dream with a start, cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and his heart was unable to calm down due to the severe impact.
The only thing left in Chen Can's mind was the moment when Ou Ranyu disappeared.
The door was gently pushed open and someone came in.
Chen Can only then realized that he was still sitting on a bed in what could barely be called a room. When he saw who it was, Chen Can took a deep breath and was about to pounce on him before he even stood up.
The person in front of him was faster than him. He bent down, and when he stood up, he was holding another person in his arms. It was no one else, but another "Chen Can"
To be precise, it should be the "Ou Ranyu" and "Chen Can" in another time and space. The "Ou Ranyu" here picked up the "Chen Can" on the ground and gently put him back on the bed, not even noticing that there was another "Chen Can" on the bed. The "Chen Can" being held half closed his eyes and muttered: "Ou Zhixu"
Only then did Chen Can realize that these two people were Chen Mo and Ou Zhixu.
"What's going on outside?" Chen Mo asked, opening his eyes.
"It's okay, you sleep a little longer." Ou Zhixu coaxed him like a child. Chen Mo hooked his arm around Ou Zhixu's neck and brought him to the bed, kissing and nibbling him.
"You stay with me."
Ou Zhixu was successfully seduced into bed, and he hugged Chen Mo and coaxed him to sleep.
Chen Can sat next to the bed, neither dodging nor evading, watching the whole process coldly.
He and his Ou Ranyu were as close as they were.
Chen Can sat and watched for a long time, and only got out of bed when Chen Wei fell asleep again.
Is he dreaming? Because he has become a dream monitor, he has completely entered Chen Mo's dream.
Chen Can stood at the window and thought vaguely.
Outside the window, a lingering fog loomed. A faint light pierced through the layers, revealing its true form. However, because the light source was so weak and the fog so thick, the light's path was unclear. In this world, the Tyndall effect lost its original lightness and ethereal beauty, instead imbuing it with a sense of heaviness and peril, a stark contrast to the two people sleeping in each other's embrace within the room.
Chen Can floated away like a wandering soul.
This world is like a drug addict who is desperately ill and struggling to survive with his remaining strength. There are abandoned houses everywhere.
Ruins, cracked earth, no sunlight, no plants, no animals, no people. It was like the apocalyptic world in a science fiction movie.
Chen Can walked around for a long time but didn't find anyone.
Maybe they all hid underground, just like in science fiction movies. Thinking of this, Chen Can returned the same way.
He wanted to find out what happened between Chen Mo and Ou Zhixu before, maybe it was related to Ou Ranyu.
When Chen Can returned, Chen Mo and Ou Zhixu had already left.
The two of them walked side by side in the vast ruins, just like taking a walk together on an ordinary night.
It seems to be aimless, but it is actually searching for something.
Chen Can followed them from a distance for a long time, so long that Chen Can thought they would never go back to their original simple little room.
In fact, they had no intention of going back, as it was just a temporary supply station.
After following along the way, Chen Can finally got to know some general information.
This world has become completely unstable and can be said to be out of the protection of the "field".
The world is disintegrating, its inner core melting and disintegrating, its outer layers crumbling and breaking apart. This world's inner core is connected to the "field," and the loss of the field inevitably leads to the loss of the core. The cause of this outcome is the disorder of spacetime. In a technologically advanced era, humans opened rifts in spacetime, freely traveling through various time and space, altering the past, present, and future. This violated the inherent laws of spacetime, and spacetime was forced to reorganize the various worlds according to their original order. Because this world was riddled with rifts in spacetime, spacetime was forced to establish a "field" to isolate the other worlds. However, the "field" was limited, and the cracks in spacetime multiplied, leading to increasing chaos. When the "field" completely disappeared, this world was finally in complete chaos, completely abandoned by spacetime.
As for why the "field" disappeared, it eventually led to the extinction of this world.
Chen Can still doesn't understand.
The information here was all Chen Can had read in a few books at several supply stations. He still had many questions about this world. Perhaps he should have come to an earlier time, before the world became what it is today. But this was beyond Chen Can's control. All he could see now was these two people wandering through the ruins, occasionally uncovering what looked like human corpses.
This world is almost empty. What are Chen Mo and Ou Zhixu still searching for? A few days later, Chen Can finally finds out. They are looking for "time and space survivors," people who have fallen into this world from other worlds. Chen Mo and Ou Zhixu want to find them all and send them back to their original world.
Chen Can once saw with his own eyes Ou Zhixu taking two young girls through a dark tunnel, and when they came out, only Ou Zhixu was left.
Another time, he took a child and jumped directly into a black hole, and then Ou Zhixu climbed out from a crack. These tunnels and black holes seem to be cracks in space and time. This "crack in space and time" appears in various forms; and it seems
Only Ou Zhixu can take them away.
Does Ou Zhixu actually have the same ability as Shi Mingxi?
Chen Can had more and more questions, so he could only watch slowly.
If the ability to travel through time and space really existed, then the entire world would be in chaos.
Shi Mingxi most likely relied on his skills, but what about Ou Zhixu? He was unlike anyone from any other world; time and space held no limits for him at all.
Just like Ou Ranyu.
He and Ou Zhixu are actually the same person.
In this world, Chen Can was just a spectator, and he had known this all along. But seeing Chen Mo and Ou Zhixu searching the ruins over and over again, searching across thousands of miles, it was hard not to be moved.
They are lovers and comrades-in-arms.
The tacit understanding and intimacy between them was different from that between Chen Can and Ou Ranyu. At times, Chen Can could no longer treat them as just himself and Ou Ranyu. They had a more important mission and shouldered heavier responsibilities.
If he and Ou Ranyu will reunite, will Chen Mo and Ou Zhixu ever meet again? Or is his encounter with Ou Ranyu a continuation of their relationship? Chen Can imagine all the possibilities.
“Humanity is full of infinite possibilities”
The golden words engraved on the broken and white monument seem to still reflect the solemnity and sacredness of the past.
Ou Ranyu stood in front of the monument, took a look and walked into the door. Behind him, a huge rock suddenly fell and smashed the monument into pieces.
A figure stood in the center of the empty monastery hall. The ceiling, walls, and floor were all made of glass, allowing one to clearly see oneself reflected in the glass. It was said, "Self-examination."
Ou Ranyu stepped over the glass and slowly walked behind the man.
"Finally, the two little fish were sent out." The man turned around and confronted Ou Ranyu.
"Aren't you here for him?" Shi Mingxi looked down at the colorful faces reflected in the glass.
"But now he is in my service."
Ou Ranyu's indifferent expression was colder than the glass in the room.
"He and I are the same person, so why is he so different from me?" Shi Mingxi seemed really puzzled. He stared at the glass, shook his head and sighed.
"Just like your Chen Can, nothing but trash..."
Before he could finish his words, Ou Ranyu grabbed his throat, pulled his hand back, picked him up and threw him against the glass wall.
With Shi Mingxi as the center, the cracks spread outwards, and half of Shi Mingxi's body was embedded in the glass.
"You are not worthy to mention him." Ou Ranyu threw down the only words and left the glass house.
"How long do you think you can last? Devouring my consciousness will only hasten your disappearance. You won't stay long after I disappear. We are both sinners of time and space, and neither of us will have an easy life!" Shi Mingxi's voice pierced the entire glass room.
Ou Ranyu walked out of the door, and everything behind him instantly turned into dust blown by the wind.
The collapsed buildings seemed to come alive again and were blown away by the wind.
Chen Can stood in the center of the storm, the strong wind blew through his body, lifting up the gravel on the ground.
Xu Mo hid in the underground cave early. There was no light underground and the darkness was reassuring. Chen Mo and Ou Zhixu leaned against each other and did not move apart for a moment.
There was no sound in the darkness, but everyone felt that a pair of eyes were staring at them.
"Is there a person over there?" Chen Mo asked, staring at a certain place, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't see clearly.
"It's okay, have a good rest first." Ou Zhixu held Chen Mo in his arms, and his cold eyes swept across a certain place coldly.
Chen Can stood outside for a day or a night.
A faint light shone through the cave ceiling. Chen Mo opened his eyes, not disturbing Ou Zhixu, who was resting with his eyes closed while holding him. His gaze fell on a certain spot, and met a pair of large, grape-shaped eyes.
"Have you been watching us?" Chen Mo couldn't help but be surprised, and startled Ou Zhixu who was not asleep at all.
"Xu'er, look, your son is here to see you." Chen Mo just felt it was strange and enjoyed watching the fun.
"He is not, don't talk nonsense..." Ou Zhixu thought Chen Mo really misunderstood and was busy explaining.
"Look at this nose, this mouth, and especially these eyes, they are simply carved from the same mold!" Chen Mo surrounded the little thing squatting on the ground and marveled.
“We don’t have any children”
"He is not. He may have fallen in from another world." Ou Zhixu was cold and angry.
Chen Mo suppressed his laughter, put Ou Zhixu out of his mind, and went to play with the little thing on the ground.
"This little kid is so cute, what's his name?"
"Where do you live?"
"Are your legs cold when you squat on the ground?"
"Are you hungry now?"
Chen Mo also imitated the little guy's posture, squatting on the ground, lowering his body and asking him a series of questions.
The little thing looked at Chen Lai without a trace of fear in his eyes. He waited patiently for Chen Mo to finish his question before answering, "I don't remember."
Chen Mo was at a loss for words and couldn't help but want to pick up the little thing.
This was the first time they had encountered such a situation since they started the mission. They met Ou Zhixu from another world, a smaller version of him.
"Ou Zhixu, do you want to keep him with you for a while?" Chen Mo had already guessed that Ou Zhixu hadn't found a way to send the little thing back.
Ou Zhixu didn't say no, but his face was full of "You can leave him here."
Chen Mo just thought that Ou Zhixu agreed. How could he just leave such a cute little thing alone?
"Little boy, brother will carry you out?" Chen Mo lowered his head and asked gently.
Can't.
Ou Zhixu answered for himself in his heart.
The little thing looked at Chen Mo, seemed to consider for a while, then stretched out its two short little hands. Chen Mo's heart melted, and he held the little thing tightly in his arms, then climbed out of the cave, passing Ou Zhixu.
Damn little brat.
If possible, Ou Zhixu would have killed the little thing in Chen Mo's arms a thousand times.
The little thing hugged Chen Mo's neck tightly
Ou Zhixu is so angry that his teeth are itching. He will get rid of this kid sooner or later!
Chen Canshe walked away and stood not far from the exit. As soon as Chen Mo came out, he saw the little thing wrapped around Chen Mo, and Ou Zhixu who was following behind with a look of trouble.
A smaller version of Ou Ranyu? No, it's a smaller version of Ou Shangxu.
"The road is not easy to walk on right now. Can I hold you in my arms first?"
The little thing said nothing, only loosening its arms around Chen Mo's neck. Chen Mo had no idea what the little thing was thinking, so he could only carry him away. Ou Zhixu followed closely behind, occasionally threatening the little thing in Chen Mo's arms with his eyes. The little thing was not afraid, and its big, watery eyes like grapes looked back at Ou Zhixu without any emotion.
Chen Can always felt that he had seen this child before, in a dream when Ou Ranyu was sleeping with him. Maybe this little thing was really Ou Ranyu as a child.
Chen Can followed Chen Mo and couldn't help but pinch the little thing's face, but of course he couldn't pinch anything.
It seemed like they walked for a long time, and Chen Mo only put the little thing down once or twice on the way. It seemed that he was really reluctant to let the little thing walk a few more steps. Ou Zhixu couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only reluctantly take the little thing in his hands. The little thing seemed very reluctant. Ou Zhixu held the little thing for a while, and he walked for a while by himself. Finally, he just walked by himself. His two short legs kicked and limped, and his speed was certainly slower than that of more than two adult men who were tall and long-legged and went out all year round.
Chen Can was so soft-hearted that he couldn't help but pick up the little thing and take it away.
Chen Mo couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he found the nearest supply station and took the little thing to rest.
Sooner or later, I have to send the little thing back to its original world. I can't keep it with me forever.
"We can't find the passage to his world." Chen Mo and Chen Can asked at the same time.
"It is very likely that he does not belong to any world, because the me in other worlds is almost gone." Ou Zhixu cruelly dissected this bloody fact like a cold-blooded butcher and repeated it again, as if Chen Wei would accept it by repeating it like this.
Chen Mo was silent, almost to death, and Chen Can was shocked.
"I understand. As long as you are here, I will be with you wherever you go." Chen Mo suppressed his grief.
"We will spend ten million centuries together."
Chen Can didn't understand again. Why did they say that the "Ou Zhixu" in other worlds were almost completely disappeared? Was that why Ou Ranshan left?
"If you want to disappear, I will cook and eat you first--" Chen Mo glanced at the little thing squatting on the ground and quickly stopped talking.
"If you want." Ou Zhixu smiled gently and opened his arms, letting Chen Mo do whatever he wanted. Chen Mo hugged him tightly. Only in this way could he truly feel that Ou Zhixu was still there.
This hug lasted so long that it transcended time and space. Chen Can squatted on the ground and looked at the little thing. In fact, the little thing didn't look at anyone at all. It was wandering outside the world with its eyes open.
Really looks like someone
The more Chen Can watched, the more upset he became. If Ou Zhixu's ultimate fate was to disappear, how could Ou Ranyu escape? The source of all this was this chaotic and crazy time and space.
Chen Mo ignored the little thing squatting on the ground and went to coax Ou Zhixu who refused to sleep well.
"It's very quiet today." Chen Mo suddenly said, "You should have a good sleep. I will watch over you today."
Ou Zhixu didn't say anything, just looked at Chen Mo quietly, as if he would never finish looking.
"If you really can't sleep, let me tell you a few stories." Chen Mo said.
"Okay." Ou Shangxu still looked at him.
"What story should I tell?" Chen Mo really couldn't think of any story in his mind now. His eyes and heart were filled with the person in front of him.
"Then let's tell the story of a great fool."
Ou Zhixu looked at him gently, his eyes never changing.
"Once upon a time there was a fool who fell in love with a clever one."
"I've been so smart my whole life, but it took me so long to realize I also like a big fool."
"After overcoming numerous difficulties, Big Fool finally got his wish to be with Little Smart. They fell in love and decided to stay together forever. They are close lovers and comrades with the same ideals. Together they defeat the bad guys, help the needy, and maintain world peace and order."
"But the world's order is still disrupted. When the world falls into chaos, the smart guy is determined to use his intelligence to protect the world, and the big fool is willing to accompany him foolishly until the moment when the world is truly destroyed."
Chen Mo continued speaking with sobs.
"In the end, they really were together forever, and never separated until the end of the world." Ou Zhixu hugged the slightly trembling Chen Mo.
Chen Can figured out who the big fool and the smart guy were, and guessed most of their stories.
"I never regret anything we did. I would regret it to death if I didn't shut down the control of the field in time and let the others leave."
"The only thing I hate is that I can't take on everything for you. I'd rather you've always been an ordinary person, without the ability to travel through time and space or open rifts in it. I wish I were the one to open the field, the one who lets everyone escape, the one who tears open the rift, the one who becomes the sinner of time and space, and the one who disappears in the end."
Chen Can listened to this, and it was hard to calm down. This was the ending for Chen Mo and Ou Zhixu, Chen Mo trapped in a dream, Ou Zhixu missing. If there really was no reunion, how heartbreaking it would be.
This shouldn't be the case. The world is truly in chaos. Even when we're trying to restore order, it shouldn't be like this.
Chen Can is selfish and cannot look at this matter from the perspective of the overall interests. If Ou Zhixu does not open the "field" and tear the cracks to let the people of this world leave, then everyone in this world will die. Moreover, there are many people from other worlds. Don't they want to go home?
But from a global perspective, if the cracks are opened and refugees are allowed to travel to various worlds, this in itself violates time and space. How can they not be punished?
Chen Can cannot approve of their actions, but he hopes that they will not disappear and will not be punished by time and space.
"My fate is destined to be like this, a fate you cannot bear, otherwise I will live a life worse than death. I was born to bear all this and love you." Ou Zhixu gently kissed Chen Mo's lips.
A bitter tear fell between Ou Zhixu's fingers, like an eternal amber that solidified time.
Chen Can had never seen himself crying before, and now seeing it in this way, he felt an indescribable feeling.
"Are you still going to sleep?" Chen Mo shed only a few tears and soon returned to normal. Chen Can knew that he was just pretending to be strong.
"Is there anything else you want me to say?" Chen Mo couldn't think of anything.
"Just stay with me." Ou Zhixu's eyes never left him. The two of them stared at each other for a long time, not saying a word. Even in the darkness, even without a single ray of light, they still wanted to acknowledge each other's presence.
"Let me sing a song to put you to sleep." Chen Mo's eyes were like stars in the dark.
"Okay." Ou Zhixu replied softly.
This wasn't the first time Chen Mo had coaxed him to sleep like this. The first few times weren't very effective, and he almost thought it was his own voice that was no longer pleasant to the ear. Ou Zhixu loved listening, but he just wouldn't fall asleep.
The long and distant tune was hummed softly, as if falling into the deep sea.
As if drawn by the singing, the little creature opened its eyes to look at the two people sleeping in each other's arms. Neither of them was asleep, but both seemed to be lost in a dream.
Chen Can felt that this scene was so familiar that it made his heart palpitate.
Why did Ou Ranyu use songs to coax him to sleep, and why did she like to hold him in her arms when she fell asleep? It turned out that there was a trace of everything.
For many years, another "Chen Can" also coaxed the person he loved in this way.
Chen Mo closed his eyes and patted Ou Zhixu's back again and again as if coaxing a child.
Chen Can walked to the little thing and hugged him pitifully and helplessly.
Feel the same pain and sympathize with each other.
No one broke the silence, and the four quiet souls were immersed in the tranquility of the night.
Like the last peace before destruction.
Destruction is coming.
Chen Can hopes that day will never come, as Ou Zhixu has already thought about his funeral.
Ou Zhixu knew very well that Chen Mo would never leave him alone, and he also hoped that he could always be with Chen Mo, but he gave up. He couldn't bear to see Chen Mo disappear forever, even with him.
He wanted to make Chen Mo the eternally vibrant star.
He wanted to find another world to properly house this star. All of this had to be kept secret, and not a single word could be revealed until he was safe.
"Have we raised another fish?" Chen Mo squatted down to look at the little creature that was quietly absorbing nutrients, then looked up and asked Ou Zhixu.
"Really? He doesn't seem to eat as much as that fat fish." Ou Zhixu's mind flashed with the image of a black-tailed silverfish, a freshwater fish native to America.
Long before the world was at peace, they kept a fish in their apartment. Every time Chen Mo fed it, the fish would wait for the food to sink to the bottom, then slowly descend to the bottom to feed, quietly and gracefully. Just like the little thing now, sitting quietly on a rock, slowly sipping its food.
"Just remember 'that fat fish'. It clearly has a name: potato."
Potatoes are potatoes, and also sweet potatoes.
"Why don't we call the little thing "Potato"?" Chen Mo suddenly had an idea.
Going further, doesn’t “Ran Yu” sound better?
"That's ugly," Ou Zhixu remarked mercilessly, and the little creature agreed silently. Chen Can was glad they didn't actually name the little creature "Potato," otherwise he would have ended up with an "Ou Potato" in the future.
Although the naming was left unresolved, Chen Mo always called out "potato potato"
"Potato, come and hold me, brother."
"Potato, smile, don't look so gloomy."
"Potato, call me brother and act cute.
"Potato, call your silent brother over here."
"Potato, keep this quiet for me."
Chen Can is almost brainwashed by Chen Mo. Now his mind is full of potatoes and Ou Ranyu. When he sees Ou Ranyu next time, he might call out the word "potato" first.
Tu Dou continued to follow Chen Mo and Ou Zhixu around.
Ou Zhixu continued to carry out his plan in secret.
Destruction is approaching quietly.
Meteors streaked across the sky, worlds fell, and the ground split apart, like bright and gorgeous flowers in full bloom. The crumbling world could no longer withstand the heavy blows, and was completely destroyed after countless frictions and collisions.
Chen Mo and Ou Zhixu are running out of time.
"Ou Zhixu, sit down and keep me company." Chen Mo looked at Ou Zhixu who was standing not far away.
This is the sentence Chen Can has heard most often in recent days.
There was almost no place left for Chen Mo and Ou Zhixu to rest, not even a place to sit. Every time Chen Mo found a place to sit, he wanted to lie down and fall asleep, while Ou Zhixu always looked in the direction of the spreading destruction with a heavy heart. Every time, Chen Mo begged him to sit with him.
At this time, the big and the small settled down on either side of Chen Mo. Chen Wei hugged Ou Zhixu and watched how Ou Zhixu squeezed the potato away. The poor potato was pushed aside and looked at the ground speechlessly.
"I'm sorry for putting you through this." Chen Mo wasn't just apologizing for squeezing out Potato. His world was about to be destroyed, and if he couldn't get rid of Potato, then Potato wouldn't be spared either. Poor Potato had done nothing wrong, yet he still couldn't escape destruction.
The tremors struck again, and Chen Moou and Tudou moved once more. It was like a journey without a destination, taking one train after another, changing trains constantly, until they finally arrived at their destination.
At the last stop, Chen Mo was at his wit's end, his eyes gradually closing. He held onto Potato with the little strength he had left. He tugged at Ou Zhixu's hand. Ou Zhixu could barely stand, and now he could carry out his plan.
Ou Shangxu picked up Chen horizontally and carried potatoes on his back, leading him to a closed space.
This was a space processing station that didn't belong to any other world. Ou Zhixu placed Chen Moqing inside the space-time processing cabin, leaned over, and kissed his lover one last time. He had fulfilled his promise to stay with him until the very end.
As if he had a premonition, Chen Mo gently grabbed Ou Zhixu's hand, using his last bit of strength to prevent Ou Zhixu from leaving.
Ou Zhixu suppressed his great grief and cruelly peeled off Chen Mo's hand while trembling.
Just like the scene in the dream, Chen Mo was isolated, his pale face no longer showing any expression. Gradually, Dun Zhixu returned to his original world carrying Tu Dou.
Chen Can knew that Chen Mo had been transferred to his dream and left in Li La's care. Dreams are consciousness, and Ou Zhixu could not keep the body, only the consciousness.
Ou Zhixu took Tu Dou into another passage, and Chen Can followed them in.
It was a passageway to another world, and at the exit was a ball of intense white light. Ou Zhixu put the potato down and stopped approaching the ball of white light.
"Go away." Ou Zhixu said coldly without any further words.
Potato seemed to have no strength to move forward and fell limply. Ou Zhixu hesitated for a moment, then for the first time, he picked up Potato and walked towards the white light with difficulty.
Ou Zhixu was truly trying his best to get the potato away. Chen Can wanted to help, but he could only watch as he followed. At the edge of the white light, Ou Zhixu threw the potato in with all his might. Chen Can instinctively rushed in to catch the potato. The next second, he was standing at the exit of another world.
Chen Can turned around hurriedly, but only saw a resolute back.
In the blink of an eye, he was alone again.
