Chapter 43 Chapter 43 "Early morning, it's time to wake up."...
As Jiang Shizao's tears fell, the space they were in began to change.
"It's early..."
He Xianhao looked around and saw that the copy space was disintegrating, with more and more cracks appearing in the air.
Those torn cracks revealed the true appearance of Lingcheng outside the copy.
The sky was dark, the city was silent, and strange lights flickered in the thick fog.
There seemed to be people moving around in that city.
Seeing this scene, He Xianhao gripped Jiang Shizao's wrist even tighter.
"Wen Zhi——!" He Xianhao looked towards the front of the initial crack.
The copy was disintegrating. He Xianhao tried to remind the person in the fight that Jiang Shizao was in a very bad state, and then he saw -
The "person" who created the copy——
The other person's eyes were fixed on Jiang Shizao.
The person that He Xianhao was pulling actually wanted to walk towards the other person.
"Jiang Shizao!" He Xianhao called out again in a stern voice, and grabbed Jiang Shizao, preventing him from moving forward.
However, Jiang Shizao seemed to be deaf to the sounds from the outside world. He just stared blankly at the monster-like "Wen Zhi" and wanted to walk towards that person.
He was already controlled by that monster.
As He Xianhao suddenly realized this, a tentacle suddenly attacked from the side. He Xianhao immediately drew the dagger he had hidden, but he was still thrown dozens of meters away by the irresistible energy shockwave.
The distance between He Xianhao and Jiang Shizao was instantly widened.
After a dizzying moment, when He Xianhao got up, he saw that the monster's tentacles had extended around Jiang Shizao. It was shocking, and those dark shadows seemed to want to swallow Jiang Shizao.
He Xianhao stood up and wanted to run towards Jiang Shizao, but found that he was isolated by an invisible barrier.
He slammed his hands hard on the invisible barrier, "Jiang Shizao! Jiang Shizao—!"
The people in the barrier seemed unaware.
In a hurry, He Xianhao tried to find the temporary partner, but he couldn't find the man in the suit in his sight.
Where did Wen Zhi go?
He Xianhao's expression was rarely blank for a moment.
...is he dead?
Several thoughts flashed through He Xianhao's mind, and finally his eyes fell on the monster in the barrier.
The monster had already moved in front of Jiang Shizao.
…
The moment Jiang Shizao's eyes regained clarity, the world around him was extremely quiet.
The fighting had stopped and the sounds from outside had disappeared at some point.
Jiang Shizao looked up at Wen Zhi, who had come before him. The strange lines on his face had vanished, but a vast shadow still lingered behind him, surging in the darkness like a monster from the abyss.
"What happened to me just now...?"
Jiang Shizao raised his hand to wipe his face while speaking.
It was so embarrassing that he actually started crying again.
It seemed that after his emotions got out of control, his body became very strange, his brain seemed to stop thinking, and all that was left in his eyes was... Wen Zhi.
Wen Zhi said let’s go home together.
Jiang Shi had long wanted to go home with the other party.
Go back to Linghe Community.
Wen Zhi also extended his hand to him.
Jiang Shizao subconsciously wanted to walk towards the other person.
…
Then……
And then nothing happened.
Jiang Shizao suddenly woke up.
"Is that you?"
Jiang Shizao looked at Wen Zhi. After regaining consciousness, Jiang Shizao's emotions seemed to have stabilized a little, and he was able to think about his own situation. "I just..."
Is he being controlled by the person in front of him?
When Jiang Shizao realized what he was thinking, he was distracted for a moment, and the sad emotion showed signs of surging again.
Obviously, before today, the person in front of him was the one he trusted the most, but now his instinct is to doubt him.
Jiang Shizao's gaze turned away evasively, and then he saw He Xianhao.
He Xianhao looked anxious. But the other party seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier. Jiang Shizao could no longer hear He Xianhao's voice.
One could only tell from He Xianhao's movements and lip movements that there seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of the other person.
He Xianhao was blocked outside the invisible wall.
Jiang Shizao subconsciously looked around again, but did not see the figure of another Wen Zhi... He only saw that the area where he once lived was falling apart.
"Morning." Wen Zhi lowered his eyes. "Who are you looking for?"
"..." When Jiang Shizao turned around, he met the other person's eyes. Looking at these blue eyes, Jiang Shizao paused.
There was no strange light in the other person's eyes, and Wen Zhi in front of him seemed to have turned back into the gentle person he was.
"I...I..." Jiang Shizao's mind was like a crumpled piece of paper. He couldn't utter a single word when he met this person.
Wen Zhi in front of him suddenly smiled.
"Good morning." The man called him again.
Hearing this voice, Jiang Shizao turned his gaze back to the other person. He immediately noticed that Wen Zhi's expression had changed.
Jiang Shizao looked into the other person's eyes, those eyes...
The gaze that was looking down at him at this moment was something Jiang Shizao had never seen on Wen Zhi before.
but……
Jiang Shi had seen these eyes before.
When the memories came flooding back, Jiang Shizao's body stiffened.
He had seen these eyes in the copy, and the other party had looked at him with the same eyes at that time.
That copy...
“001.”
Jiang Shizao uttered this code name.
He himself found it incredible.
"You are 001."
In that copy that felt like a long time ago, 001 in the copy looked at him with such eyes.
The man wearing the golden mask, the eyes under the mask overlapped with Wen Zhi in front of him.
Listening to his identification, Wen Zhi's expression was extremely complicated.
Then Jiang Shizao heard this person say:
"Early, that wasn't the only time we met."
Wen Zhi admitted that he was 001 whom Jiang Shi had seen in the copy a long time ago.
Outside the barrier, He Xianhao, who read Wen Zhi's lip movements, was also visibly stunned.
He Xianhao looked at the two people talking. Could it be that... Wen Zhi had already taken back the soul fragment?
The two Wen Zhis have merged?
but……
Anyone with eyes could see that the person standing in front of Jiang Shizao at this moment was more like the "Wen Zhi" from Lingcheng. Not only the dark shadow behind him, but also his attire, all resembled that monster Wen Zhi.
But the expression on that person's face at this moment was indeed similar to the one He Xianhao had contacted. It was just that Wen Zhi's method of recovering souls...
It looks more like he's integrated into the monster's body.
In the barrier.
Wen Zhi said to Jiang Shizao:
"South of Bell City, in the Hilltop Garden. Remember, we were sitting on a bench, and I told you... If there's a better world outside of Bell City, I hope you can see it."
The words "001" made Jiang Shizao's pupils dilate for a moment.
Jiang Shizao certainly remembered these words. He remembered the hilltop garden on the south bank of Lingcheng. He remembered everything that happened that day. Because that day, he was with Wen Qianchuan.
That is... a memory related to Wen Qianchuan.
Jiang Shizao always remembered it.
"No... who are you...?"
Jiang Shizao suddenly grabbed Wen Zhi's hand. He didn't care who the other person was. He just wanted to catch him.
Catch this guy...
"Zao Zao, don't cry." Wen Zhi raised his hand with heartache.
Seeing the tears gathering in Jiang Shizao's eyes again, he raised his hand and wiped away the tears that had already slid down his cheeks.
Then he said:
"Leave early with He Xianhao."
When Wen Zhi said this, Jiang Shizao was stunned. He stared blankly at the person who was so close to him. Perhaps at that moment, Jiang Shizao clearly realized that the Wen Zhi in front of him was not the Wen Zhi he had lived with for half a year.
Because Wen Zhi would ask Jiang Shizao to go home and wait for him, and would ask Jiang Shizao to go home together.
Wen Zhi in front of him hoped that he and He Xianhao would leave.
"What on earth happened?" Finally, Jiang Shizao's emotions exploded.
The tears could no longer be stopped. No matter how the person in front of him whispered to comfort him, Jiang Shizao was very sad, and it became more and more sad.
Even though Wen Zhi was right in front of him, Jiang Shizao felt that "Wen Zhi" had really disappeared.
Before he finally lost consciousness, Jiang Shizao saw Wen Zhi's leaving back.
The barrier that isolated the outside world had disappeared at some point. Jiang Shizao heard He Xianhao's voice again.
Before he fell unconscious, he felt someone grab his wrist.
There was only a blurry figure left in front of him.
The back figure merged into the shattered Lingcheng.
He Xianhao's heavy voice was in my ears:
"Jiang Shizao, wake up quickly."
Jiang Shizao had just heard this sentence. Before Wen Zhi turned around, the man also lowered his head and said to him:
"Morning, time to wake up."
It was clearly the same gentle voice, as if coaxing him, but after it finished speaking, it turned and left without looking back.
Before Jiang Shizao lost consciousness, he thought:
Just go.
It's so annoying.
