Chapter 113.
Tang Yu at this moment was much younger than Tang En remembered. She looked no more than seven or eight years old. If it weren't for her peculiar pair of light grey eyes, Tang En would hardly recognize her.
Tang Yu was entangled in various tubes, and unknown liquid was being injected into her body through those tubes. She lay there motionless, her face pale and her eyes empty.
Surrounded by researchers wearing protective clothing, Tang En had to hide in the dark shadows to avoid being discovered. Because his body was translucent, he was not discovered.
Tang Yu, who was lying on the test bed, seemed to have some feelings. She tilted her head slightly towards the direction where Tang En was standing.
Then, she saw the translucent figure in the corner.
Tang En met Tang Yu's gaze. From her calm eyes, he realized that Tang Yu might not recognize him anymore.
At this time, the observer outside the glass room noticed Tang Yu's actions and asked.
"What's wrong?"
The tender voice of a child came out from the glass house through the sound collector.
"Nothing, I seem to be sick again."
The observer immediately turned on the computer and began recording information. "Did you see anything?"
"Hmm, a strange invisible person."
"How can the invisible man be seen?"
"I just see it."
"Okay, I get it. Don't worry. I'll increase the dosage and your hallucinations will disappear immediately."
"Thank you."
"Um."
The observer pressed the drug delivery button, and the inhibitory agent was injected into Tang Yu's body.
Tang Yu quietly accepted the drug treatment, her head always tilted towards the corner where Tang En was standing.
This time the medicine didn't seem to work, and she could still see the man in the corner.
However, Tang Yu did not tell the observer about this.
Tang En had been waiting quietly in the corner. This world did not belong to him. If he wanted to take Tang Yu away in front of so many researchers, the energy required would be beyond his ability to bear.
As the night deepened, the researchers in the laboratory left one after another, and Tang En waited for the best opportunity.
At night, Tang Yu was taken to her room to sleep. Tang En appeared in her room. He was leaning on a crutch and his whole body was almost transparent, with only a pair of small gears in his eyes.
Even though Tang Yu didn't recognize Tang En, he didn't show any surprise at his appearance.
She looked at Tang En curiously for a while and asked, "Are you a monster?"
Tang En shook his head. His eyes fell on the needle holes and bruises on Tang Yu's arms. He said, "Sister Tang Yu, I'll take you home."
He stretched out his already ethereal arm towards Tang Yu.
The childish Tang Yu looked at the transparent palm with curiosity and put her hand on it. She didn't seem to be afraid, but instead had a bunch of questions that she couldn't stop asking.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Tang En."
"Are we a family? Are you my brother?"
"no."
"Then why do we have the same last name?"
"It's just a coincidence."
"Do I have a home?"
"Yes." If the guild home is considered home...
“Why are you transparent?”
“That’s my superpower.”
"Why are you willing to help me?"
“Because we are teammates.”
......
The gears in Tang En's eyes turned, and the wall in front of them turned into nothingness, and the two of them passed through it directly.
The rooms in the orphanage disappeared, and the snow-white corridor belonging to the maze appeared in front of them.
"Tang En?!"
Tang Yu returned to normal the moment she entered the maze. She looked at Tang En, who had already become virtual, in disbelief.
"What did you do? How did it become like this?"
"I'm sorry, Sister Tang Yu, this is the only way I can think of to save you."
Tang En smiled and handed her the backpack and the scepter of blessing, as if he was conveying some invisible power and hope.
"Please keep these things. You can share my props with them. Although it is scary to face the weirdness, I am really happy to be teammates with you and Sister Li Jia..."
"What discouraging words are you saying!" Tang Yu interrupted his last words, "There must be a way to save you, just hold on!"
With a thud, everything in Tang En's hands fell to the ground, and his body was completely ethereal.
From Tang Yu's perspective, there was only a pair of slowly rotating gears suspended in the air.
A weak voice sounded from the void.
"Sister Tang Yu, I have seen everything, but I don't have time to tell you. If you want to know the truth, go to the research institute. Only you can enter there. I saw it in your mind."
"Take this, it can protect you..."
The voice was interrupted here, and the pair of gears slowly sank and landed in Tang Yu's palm, still turning as if it were a living thing.
But Tang Yu knew clearly that Tang En was indeed dead.
A feeling of sadness filled her heart, making her want to cry, but every time this emotion was about to break through the cage, her body would reflexively suppress the sadness.
She has undergone countless experiments, one of which was the emotional response threshold test.
In order to maintain the stability of the experimental data, the first thing those people did was to deprive her of emotional experience and keep her mood fluctuations at the same level.
In the past, Tang Yu never thought this was a bad thing.
But at this moment, she began to feel a kind of depression that was close to madness. The extreme madness made her urgently want to destroy something.
Then, the body began to suppress this madness reflexively.
It was during this repeated tug-of-war that Tang Yu slowly calmed down.
She stood in a pure white maze of nothingness, surrounded by an eternally quiet space. She was the only one in the entire maze.
And the pair of rotating gears in the palm of my hand that were still warm.
The cold and hard metallic texture was transmitted to Tang Yu's skin as the gears continued to turn. At the moment they were separated from their owner, the pair of gears seemed to have some strange properties.
It is transforming into an item, a special item. Compared to those items produced by copies, this pair of gears seems to have a kind of spirituality.
Tang Yu wasn't sure if this was caused by Tang En, but she had a feeling that it had a big effect on the gears.
Tang Yu took out a rubber band from his backpack, strung the pair of rotating gears together and wore it on his wrist.
After Tang En collapsed, his E-level speed brooch also fell to the ground. Tang Yu bent down and picked up the props on the ground one by one.
In the quiet pure white maze, Tang Yu groped slowly.
Although Tang En did not have time to tell her more information, the pair of gears on his wrist were guiding her.
The rotating gears slowly floated in the air, pulling Tang Yu's steps in a certain direction.
Tang Yu followed the pull of the gear and came to a snow-white wall. As the gear on her wrist turned, she walked through the wall...
As Li Jia stood at the entrance of the construction site clutching the faded backpack strap, heavy rain was washing away the dark red rust on the steel frames.
She saw herself hiding behind a container at the age of fifteen, her father's hunched back swaying on a ten-meter-high scaffolding, the safety rope buckle hanging loosely around his waist.
This is the seventh reincarnation.
The first three times she was like a mad trapped animal, calling the municipal hotline on rainy nights to report safety hazards at the construction site. As a result, her father lost his job due to the construction site rectification, and he suffered a heart attack while moving frozen goods at the vegetable market.
The fourth time, she secretly cut the safety rope to prevent her father from going to work, but the next morning she saw an ambulance taking away a worker whose chest was pierced by a steel bar - her father, who was supposed to be resting that day, took the initiative to take over the shift.
The fifth time, the sixth time...all ended in the same way.
The seventh time, it seemed still the same.
At this moment, her nails dug into her palms, and the smell of blood mixed with rain water went into her throat.
Her father came down the elevator humming an off-tune folk song, his neck burned by the scorching sun exposed from under his safety helmet, and half of the amulet she had stuffed into his work trousers pocket was exposed.
"Dad!" She rushed out and crushed the half moon in the puddle.
The moment my father turned around, the steel cable of the tower crane suddenly made a teeth-grinding breaking sound, and the floor slab being poured thirty meters away poured down like melted dark chocolate.
"Why can't I avoid it?" Li Jia knelt in the corridor outside the emergency room. The smell of medical alcohol made his temples throb.
On the death notice handed over by the nurse, the time of death repeated the previous six numbers exactly: 16:44.
When she returned to the countryside dragging her wet school uniform, she found that the pillowcase was soaked with blood coughed up by her mother.
The cicadas outside the window were chirping heart-wrenchingly loud, and my grandmother's trembling hands were pushing the last half of insulin into my mother's bruised vein - the relief medicine that should have been delivered today was buried forever in the tunnel due to a landslide.
No matter how many times he starts over, Li Jia can never change the fate of his parents' tragic death.
Although her fate was tragic, her grandmother always stayed with her and was always kind to her.
Grandma often told Li Jia: "Don't be pessimistic, life is still beautiful."
Li Jia often used such words to comfort himself, but the unpredictable misfortune always came with it.
Has she really been favored by fate?
Suddenly, an exquisite ivory dice rolled in front of his eyes, with the six o'clock facing upwards and shining with a crystal light.
Li Jia looked up in shock and saw the young girl wearing a blood-red scarf. Her face was pale, her eyes were red, and she looked sick, but her eyes were calm and firm.
"You..." Li Jia couldn't recognize Tang Yu, but she felt that this person was inexplicably kind.
"President, it's time to go home." Tang Yu extended his hand to Li Jia and said the same words that Tang En had said before.
Li Jia somehow reached out her hand to shake his, and let Tang Yu hold her hand as she walked through the empty wall in front of them.
The moment he stepped into the snow-white maze, Li Jia recovered all his memories.
Before she could catch up with Tang Yu, she heard Tang Yu say, "Wait here for a while. I'll go and bring them out."
As Tang Yu said this, he turned around and stepped into the wall beside him. Li Jia wanted to follow him but almost bumped his head.
She touched her head and asked in confusion: "Aren't there three?"
Tang Yu met Ning Xuanqing this time.
Compared with the calm and rational Ning Xuanqing in the past, she now looked like a withered flower, haggard and pale, as if all the vitality had been drained from this thin body.
At this moment, in front of Ning Xuanqing, there were two elderly people with peaceful but lifeless faces. They were her parents.
Their eyes were frozen with the final astonishment and confusion, as if telling of the injustice and betrayal they had experienced in their lifetime.
In the dark corners around them, strange creatures are roaming around.
The world node where Ning Xuanqing is at this moment is when the weirdness has just arrived and panicked humans are fleeing everywhere.
She had clearly escaped with her family, but her parents were framed by the selfishness and greed of other survivors and died tragically in this doomsday catastrophe.
This situation was repeated seven times!
