Early the next morning, Zhou Zhou walked into the gate of the base. He came back alone. After completing the decapitation mission, he left the rest to his subordinates. He had nothing to worry about.
In order not to alarm others, Captain Zhou did not register anything at the door, making the journey home like a rumbling thunder, just like the sudden rain at this moment.
As he expected, it was Gu Yi who opened the door. Zhou Zhou hurriedly took off his damp windbreaker, changed his shoes, and caught up with the figure standing in the living room.
The orange curtains dimly blocked out the storm outside. Zhou Zhou saw him carefully collect the clothes on the sofa that obviously did not belong to any of the four of them. The style was very similar to Gu Yi's and was already out of date.
"He hasn't woken up yet." Gu Yi said.
Zhou Zhou sat on the sofa, his windbreaker thrown at the entrance: "I'll wait here."
Gu Yi nodded. His attitude towards them was different from how he behaved outside. It was a special tenderness between companions.
He asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Fried eggs and milk, thank you." Zhou Zhou was not polite. He rushed back to the base in one breath after completing the task. He had not slept all night and was very exhausted.
After the finishing team members come back, he still has to deal with the follow-up matters.
Gu Yi nodded and went to the kitchen. Zhou Zhou was lying on the sofa with his back to him. He heard the sound of oil heating up, followed by the crisp sound of eggs being cracked and put into the pan. After a while, a fragrant smell wafted out.
The milk was poured into the glass. Zhou Zhou shook the carton and lamented the recovery of civilization and production in the past ten years, otherwise he would not be able to drink fresh milk now.
Two fried eggs, a glass of milk, and a cup of coffee. They sat opposite each other and ate their breakfast.
The sound of rain grew stronger, scolding the glass that blocked its way.
"That cemetery." Zhou Zhou felt the warmth of the glass: "I didn't go there."
There's probably no need to go. The rain and the people will erase all traces, and Zhou Zhou won't make any more discoveries.
"Because I hope to get your explanation." Zhou Zhou, who looked no different from a man in his twenties, said, "I believe you won't really do anything to Shi Qing's tomb, but he's dead, and the dead can't be resurrected."
Gu Yi nodded and said, "This doesn't conflict with Shi Qing's return."
It's over.
Zhou Zhou's eyebrows were twisted into a knot.
"...I think you can accept a pleasant conversation with Zhang Hailong?" Zhang Hailong is a psychic mutant at the Changqing Base and also the base's psychologist.
Gu Yi: "I have no problem, I won't go."
"That's fine." Zhou Zhou was very tolerant: "Then let's talk."
They were silent for a while. Gu Yi's psychological problems were well known to his companions, but he was too resistant to doctors and there was no chance of treatment at all.
Now Zhou Zhou clearly wasn't going to let the issue go unaddressed. So in this silent confrontation, Gu Yi was the first to surrender: "Okay."
…
The story begins with a daisy.
…
Zhou Zhou: "Wait, starting so early?"
Xu Shiqing was brought back by Gu Yi after a mission. The young leader and a young man walked into the house in the sunset.
"I remember what happened then..." Xu Shiqing listened to their voices through the system and sat cross-legged on the bed: "He was a good man."
A good man who would become a saint.
"What's so strange about that? He's the protagonist." 021 said as a matter of course.
"…" Xu Shiqing shook his head: "This is the real world, the system."
'Because he is Gu Yi, he has the protagonist.'
…
The first thing Xu Shiqing saw when he came into this world was a white room and a "doctor" in a white coat.
He did initially possess the arrogance of a missionary. Because of his "immortality," his "transcendence." As that transcendent being, looking upon the beings struggling in the wheel of life, pity and indifference naturally arose.
021 didn't see anything wrong with this; he even encouraged this arrogance. Undoubtedly, this kind of long-term travel, requiring multiple worlds to travel, was extremely detrimental to the tasker's mental health. Whether motivated by humanitarianism or to extend the duration of their assignment, guiding the host to adopt the "correct" attitude towards the mission and the world they were in was also part of the system's job.
But this is a real world, with details added over time, and the system cannot convince Xu Shiqing to regard this as a false, fragmented story.
He began to find it difficult to accept the chaos before him. This was truly not a good world, more cruel than what was presented in the comics, darker than he had imagined.
Imagination is limited by cognition, but reality is not. The evil of human nature runs rampant in the laboratory... One can imagine what kind of hell the outside world is like.
"...Leave the laboratory," Xu Shiqing said: "regardless of whether this is the original owner's request or not, I must leave here."
"But the day when the protagonist and his companions destroy this place is not far off." System 021 said.
"I have hands and feet." Xu Shiqing rolled his eyes. "Stop talking nonsense and give me the lab map."
A blue blanket covered this sinful land. Xu Shiqing had never been so grateful for the power of the system. He was exhausted, exhausted, and even when the crystal core symbolizing his superpowers cracked and his spiritual world turned upside down, he never regretted it.
The system that was forced to increase his strength told him unhappily that the mission had been completed. He already knew what kind of person his partner was who would do anything to achieve his goals.
"Did he see it?" Xu Shiqing asked.
[…I see.] The system replied, puzzled.
"That's good." Xu Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief, lying on the rubble, his face dirty: "Then, as for the future of this body—your share—I will work hard together."
