Extra three
Chapter 191
It's still raining a little outside, but not too heavy.
The drizzle fell on them, and it felt a bit chilly and damp in this summer.
Shen Qi pulled Shen Yunzhe forward. He was looking at the map along the way and kept following the map. After changing many cars, they came to a slightly remote place.
"What is this place?" Shen Yunzhe asked him.
"It's said that this is a place where many wild cats gather together." Shen Qi looked at his phone, "I don't know if it's true or not."
"It has to be here?"
"The main reason is that cats in pet shops are very docile, and docile cats are not enough to make you understand my thoughts." Shen Qi said happily as he walked: "You are a wild cat!"
Shen Yunzhe didn't know what the difference was between cats in pet shops and wild cats, but seeing that he was so happy, he didn't ask any other questions.
But Chen Qi still forgot that wild cats would certainly not appear when it rained, because wild cats are not stupid and will not run around when it rains. They are not like humans who can take a bath or blow dry their hair when they get wet. If their fur is soaked, they will easily catch a cold and die directly.
After walking around twice, they didn't see the cat they wanted to see.
As expected, Shen Qi started to get angry. "Everything this guide says is fake! I'm going to give it a bad review!"
They took countless turns in the drizzle to get here, but they couldn't see a single cat!
Shen Yunzhe smiled, took two steps forward, and leaned against the bridge. "Look, flowers."
Shen Qi followed Shen Yunzhe's gaze.
They happened to be standing on a bridge with a small stream under it. The misty rain fell on the water, creating ripples. There were lotus roots growing in the water, and lotus flowers bloomed on the river surface in front of them, with the pink petals covered with water droplets.
It's a very beautiful picture, especially now that it's drizzling and almost no one is out.
"I've never seen a cat, nor a flower," Shen Yunzhe said. "There's no life in the playground, only a collection of emotions, or perhaps eternal tranquility."
Shen Yunzhe stared at the flowers. "Actually, there's no need to look at anything specifically. Just coming here will reveal how different this place is from where I was born."
"If you can live in this kind of world, of course no one would want to go back."
Chen Qi looked at Shen Yunzhe. The scenery in front of him was so beautiful, but he found that he could not see a single thing. He could not help but stare at Shen Yunzhe's profile. The pink lotus was just an unnecessary background, as if he was the only one in the whole world.
He is like a firework that is about to explode, even if it can only shine for a moment, he is willing to do so.
"But you are a miracle." Shen Qi said, "You are a possibility born from thousands of impossibilities, and you can still walk out of that place."
"Shen Yunzhe, your birth is an amazing dream."
At this moment, there was a noise in the bushes not far away. They looked towards the bushes and saw a black cat rushing out with a fish in its mouth. It seemed that it didn't expect there were people here. The cat stopped and turned around and rushed back in an instant, disappearing in an instant.
"Cat!" Chen Qi pointed at the cat that ran away, "Look, doesn't it look like you?"
"How is it similar?"
"I'm always running around the world and can't even see you when I want to." Shen Qi said confidently, not blushing at all, "This is exactly like you!"
Shen Yunzhe's fingers tapped on the railing of the bridge. He refuted intermittently, looking a little lazy in the drizzle.
Seeing Shen Yunzhe's expression, Shen Qi suddenly changed his words.
"I suddenly feel that you are not like a cat anymore."
"I've discovered that you're truly willful." Shen Yunzhe looked at him with a hint of disdain in his eyes. "You were the one who said it, but you overturned it the next moment without even a moment's hesitation."
Shen Qi nodded and admitted quickly, "It seems that what you said is right. That's exactly what I would do."
Very good, no objection at all.
Shen Yunzhe sighed, "Why isn't it a cat again?"
"Because I found that cats stand on the ground!" Shen Qi immediately became happy. He began to describe it vividly, and even gestured with his hands, "As for cats, although they don't have a home, they still run on the ground. At most, they can climb up a tree, but they can't fly into the sky."
"So Shen Yunzhe, you are not a cat. You should be a bird, a bird flying freely in the sky."
Shen Yunzhe nodded. He looked at Shen Qi curiously, "If I am a bird, what about you?"
"I'm a cat."
Shen Qi said as a matter of course.
"You are a bird, flying in the sky; I am a cat, although I stand on the ground, but I can catch birds, especially birds like you." Shen Qi nodded, looking very satisfied with his words, "Whenever I see you, there will only be this bird in my eyes."
"Why do you have to arrest me?"
"Then you be the cat and I'll be the bird. You can catch me if you want!"
"It's not nice to keep grabbing. Aren't you polite?"
"Why should I be polite to you? I want to try something more exciting, but you won't accompany me."
On the empty bridge, the two people were having a messy and meaningless conversation, and had a not-so-intense discussion about who was the cat and who was the bird. They stood there long enough and walked back.
On the way back, they came across a small shop selling accessories. Outside the glass window, they saw small animals hanging on the wall. They stood at the window for a while, looked at each other, then walked into the store wetly and bought a kitten and a bird inside.
The average price is only ten dollars!
When they returned to the hotel, the rain had finally stopped, and the tourists finally came out to barbecue by themselves again. At the door of the room they had booked, an official was squatting on a chair waiting for Shen Qi to come back. When he saw Shen Qi finally coming, his frozen eyes were finally filled with excitement.
I’m finally back!
"Hello! I'm a member of the task force responsible for this case." The man quickly stood up and took out his ID. "We found a man who had been shot in the building across from you, but the bullet in his body was fired from his gun. We're very confused about this, so we've left me here until you come back to find out what happened!"
"Really?" Shen Qi said with a smile, "I don't know."
"have no idea?"
"I don't know anything." Shen Qi nodded. "I only heard the gunshots, and then I left. I wasn't here when you called. Maybe there was an internal conflict on the other side."
The man scratched his hair, "Really?"
Then he turned another page. "One more thing. We understand that you seem to have sprained your ankle. Do you need a doctor to treat it?"
"I didn't sprain my ankle." Shen Qi said casually, "I just pretended that I did."
The man looked even more puzzled, "Why did you pretend to sprain your ankle?"
"How could I have revealed myself to the killer if I hadn't faked a sprain? And how could I have gotten away so quickly if I hadn't faked a sprain?"
"So that's how it is!"
In fact, he still had many questions to ask, but before he stayed, the captain reminded him that if Shen Qi did not answer the first two questions seriously, there was no need to continue asking. He would not tell the truth. Now he judged that all of Shen Qi's answers were perfunctory.
So he smiled, told Shen Qi how hard he had worked, and left.
Shen Qi has many secrets, which he is unwilling to reveal to the official. The official can only dig out Shen Qi's past, understand his life and personality, but cannot make him join sincerely. To a certain extent, the official and Shen Qi are just in a cooperative state, and he occasionally does some work for the official salary.
In this state, if they persist in exploring too much, it will only backfire.
Before the elevator door opened, he looked back at Shen Qi, and finally found a small gadget on his phone. It seemed to be a kitten pendant, shaking on his phone. Shen Qi never liked these fancy little decorations, and there was no such thing on his phone before he left, right?
Ding Dong, the elevator door opened and he stepped into the elevator.
Could this pendant be something very important? But it looked like a cheap decoration. In other words, perhaps the person who gave it to Shen Qi had a special meaning for him.
Who made him willingly hang a glass kitten on his mobile phone?
The front desk changed Shen Qi's room, but Shen Qi didn't care. He opened the door of the new room and went into the bathroom. His clothes were wet again, and the change of clothes he brought was not enough.
Shen Yunzhe listened to the sound of water in the bathroom. He sat on a chair and looked at the glass bird in his hand.
Just as the official members thought, this was just an ordinary, cheap decoration. The glass bird was only the size of a fingernail. Although it was very transparent, it was not delicate enough. He filled Shen Qi's cabinet with dolls. Each doll was very beautiful, and the little clothes were also very nice.
But he inexplicably felt that all the dolls were not as good as the bird he bought for ten dollars.
Shen Yunzhe put the small pendant into his pocket, sighed and looked out the window again.
When Chen Qi came out, he saw him looking out the window, but his eyes were empty, as if he was looking at somewhere and at nothing.
He sat next to Shen Yunzhe and asked, "Shower?"
Shen Yunzhe shook his head and said, "I'll go later."
"You'll catch a cold if you keep wearing wet clothes." Shen Qi laid on the table next to him. "What are you thinking about now? Do you know? You look like a bird perched on a branch, very easy to catch. I want to stretch out my claws to you."
Shen Yunzhe gave him a look of disdain and said, "Put your claws back."
"Okay." Shen Qi put his hands under the table, "So what are you thinking about?"
"Why don't you care about the future?" Shen Yunzhe asked.
Shen Qi didn't expect that Shen Yunzhe would ask this question. He was stunned for a moment and even thought about it for a long time.
He fell into a brief silence because of Shen Yunzhe's question.
He had actually thought about this problem. After all, modern society emphasizes positivity, but he found it difficult to draw enough emotional value from this positivity. On the one hand, it was difficult for him to be interested in anything, and on the other hand, he was too pessimistic.
Yes, in fact, he is a very pessimistic person, or even not confident, no matter how free and easy he looks now.
He found it difficult to decide his own life. The future was full of surprises, and no one could live the life they wanted smoothly.
After a long time, he finally spoke, "I just feel that there is nothing to look forward to in the future, because many things are beyond human prediction, and even I can't do anything about it."
"I can only decide the present moment and can only make myself happy now."
"Shen Yunzhe, I'm too timid," he said, "so I ignore all the problems that the future may bring."
Shen Yunzhe looked at him and smiled. "Then how about you look forward to it?"
"What do you expect?"
“I hope I can come back.”
Shen Qi lay on the table and blinked, and after a long time he spoke, "What do you mean?"
"I'm ready to go back."
"Didn't you say you wanted to stay?"
"But if I stay, there's no future." Shen Yunzhe looked at him, "Actually, I've been to many worlds. There's the world of the person who gave me my name, and there's the world of the person I chatted with, but those worlds are gone."
"Because of the playground, and because of Our Lady."
Shen Yunzhe's eyes were gentle, and he held Shen Qi's hand. "As long as the playground exists, the world eroded by the playground will disappear. One day, this vibrant world will also disappear. What will you do then? What should I do?"
"You don't look forward to the future, but I do."
"I want a future with you."
Shen Qi squeezed his hand tightly. "Then what are you going to do when you go back? What can you do?"
"Find the Virgin Mary's weakness, or find where it is." Shen Yunzhe said, "I didn't really care before because I had never seen the outside world and never thought about what would happen if these worlds disappeared. But after coming here this time, I realized I was wrong."
"It's a real shame to let these worlds disappear. They deserve to have a continuation, just like Shenqi also deserves a future."
Shen Qi looked at him, "Didn't you say you can't leave my side?"
"It's OK now."
Shen Qi looked into Shen Yunzhe's eyes, slowly let go of his hand, and then smiled helplessly.
"Then there's nothing I can do. Since you've made up your mind, there's nothing I can do to stop you. Okay, I'll listen to you."
After so many years of not expecting the future, to have hope for the future again, to hope that a bird will land on a lonely cat again.
The reverse is also possible.
Shen Yunzhe smiled at him, and his figure disappeared in the room. It was unclear whether he had left or was playing hide-and-seek with him as before. Shen Qi took his hand from the table, and he took out his mobile phone to open someone's chat history.
[Is the so-called love always about letting go in the end? ]
[?] Li Yilun got goosebumps all over his body. [What's wrong with you? Are you being sad and gloomy in front of me?]
He seems to be gone.
Li Yiluan was shocked. He didn't expect that the person that Shen Qi cared about was really gone, and Shen Qi didn't even try to keep him.
He always knew what kind of person Shen Qi was. He had never seen such a twisted person under the clean and well-behaved appearance. He wanted to hold everything in his hands and dared to hold everything in his hands. He only cared about the present and never cared about the future. He was so extreme that he didn't even care about his life.
He actually let go?
[Because he promised me a future.] Chen Qi said sadly: [How can I keep him here after he said that?]
Li Yiluan sent a string of ellipsis.
The red star moved, turning a twisted madman into a love-brained person? How could he have such a horrible dream!
Shen Qi continued to send messages.
[He has a future! I thought about it and felt like this was a lucrative deal! As long as I let him out for a while, I could have him for life. Huge profit!]
Following the message is a big red exclamation mark and a line of prompts: You are not the other party's friend.
Li Yiluan has deleted the friend and quickly blocked him.
Shen Qi: ...
Throwing the phone aside, Shen Qi tutted, "No taste."
He sat where Shen Yunzhe had just sat, thinking about Shen Yunzhe's expression.
Yes, this is a lucrative business, but the premise is that Shen Yunzhe did not deceive him and would not leave and never come back. This is too uncertain. This is the proposition that Shen Qi hates the most. He never trusts anyone and is not good at trusting anyone, but this time, he chose to believe him in an instant as if he was crazy.
Oh, feelings, it's really something difficult to understand.
On the other side, Shen Yunzhe was walking in the dark space, and he spoke as he walked.
"say."
"I can't hide it. I know you are here."
[Hello, I am the Parallel World System. This is your exclusive ability. Currently, your ability has been activated by 50%. Please continue to work hard and eliminate the game field as soon as possible.]
"So you were the one who forcibly tied me to Shen Qi?"
I woke up too late. Your personality has already been shaped. You live in a playground and don't understand what a playground is. Your abilities are also gradually upgrading. This is not a good thing, because you have missed many opportunities for growth, and your peers can't provide you with enough positive emotions.
[But fortunately, you unexpectedly found the world codenamed Hope and connected with it, so I can only try to bind you to it and let you experience the difference between the real world and the game field for yourself.]
I just didn't expect that these two people, who are obviously the same person, would spark love.
"What should I do?" Shen Yunzhe asked.
[Continue to control your abilities until you gain control of the ability of 'Purification', which is the only ability that can rival the Virgin Mary.]
[Destroy each game field, especially the functions derived from the game field, and cut off the supply of the Holy Mother's power.]
[This time won't be long, I'm sure you'll see each other again soon. ]
Shen Yunzhe blinked, not knowing what to say. He took out the crystal clear bird pendant from his pocket.
He smiled.
"good."
Let's move towards the future.
This extra chapter is over, and there is only one left, which will be updated tomorrow.
