Chapter 69 "So, we must live together."
In the hazy afternoon when the sun is sometimes bright and sometimes dark, the cool wind blows into the attic.
The shadow of the grid window was lengthened and cast on the ground, and a faint halo enveloped the profile of the boy and girl. Xia Mingwei sat against the wall; Qing Zhulin stayed opposite him, reading with lowered eyes.
Xia Mingwei was waiting for a reply, but even if he couldn't wait for it, he already had the answer in his heart.
"Yes," Qingzhu Lin said slowly, "Eating the same kind is what I said...the first way to curb Shinhwa's will."
Xia Mingwei's heart twitched violently, as if a large stone had fallen, fell into the abyss, and then shattered into powder at the far bottom.
He took a deep breath, opened his mouth slightly, and asked:
"Why is there such a method?"
"Swallowing other mythical carriers can keep you sane for a long time, because the two mythical wills will compete with each other, and one of the mythical wills will be destroyed, and then the remaining one will be very weak." Qingzhu.
Rin said, "Not only that, if the mythical carrier you eat is very strong, you can also gain part of the power."
"So, Poseidon, the god of the sea, wants to eat us?"
"To be precise...before you came, he was originally targeting me."
"What now?"
"Now," Qingzhu Lin paused, then said, "I am the food of the God of Beauty, and you are the food of the God of Poseidon."
The afternoon sun was momentarily obscured by clouds, and with it the light that had entered the attic was withdrawn. The color of the high-rise buildings returned to dim blue, and the hoarse cries of crows could be heard.
In the brief darkness, Xia Mingwei's face twitched slightly.
He lowered his head and was silent for a while before asking: "So, we are divided equally between them?" His voice was a little hoarse and he was almost out of breath, because he was just a clone standing here.
So what if she is eaten by Poseidon, the god of the sea? But Qing Zhulin is really staying here. Once she is eaten, it will be a real death...an irreversible death.
"It's been divided equally." Qingzhu Lin whispered, "And Poseidon is about to lose control again, so he will come to Tokyo soon."
"You said before that the adults at the Resurrection Society don't want us to leave Japan. It turns out that's the reason."
"Yes, we are kept in captivity, like livestock."
"Then we can't escape?"
"The leader is a disciple of Poseidon," Qingzhu Lin said. "As long as we leave, the leader will find out immediately and report to them. We are no match for the God of Beauty and the God of Poseidon. They all have the ability to enter the mythical body.
It's as easy as crushing the bug."
"Should we kill the leader?"
"Once the connection between the leader and them is severed, they will come to us immediately. The Poseidon can sense the entire sea area, and the Beauty God can control the minds of others from thousands of miles away. We can't run away."
"Is there no other way?"
"No."
"Can we just wait to die..."
Qing Zhulin was silent for a long time before saying: "Originally," her voice gradually became lower, "Originally, I had already given up... As long as you didn't show up, it would be fine."
"……Why?"
"What's the use of running farther?" Qingzhu Lin asked, "The Sequencers regard us as enemies, and the myth carriers regard us as food. No matter how far we run, the whole world is still... our enemy, even if
If we survive, we will still lose control and turn into monsters and self-destruct." She dropped the pencil in the book and tapped the floor gently.
"But are you willing to be eaten by them like this?"
"I was willing. I was mentally prepared to die slowly like this..." Qing Zhulin put down the book, hugged her knees, and looked down at the pencil that fell on the floor, "but someone suddenly appeared."
The hem of her skirt hung down in front of her knees, covering her calves.
"He told me... I was not alone. He read books with me, watched movies with me, went to bookstores with me, bought clothes with me, and danced with me on the cruise ship."
"Although the world we live in is still very narrow, so narrow that I can hardly breathe."
"But, for the first time since he came here, I felt like I was still alive, and I even started to think..." She paused and then said:
"I really want to keep living."
Xia Mingwei fell silent.
Qing Zhulin clearly didn't mention his name at all, but it was him at every turn.
"Robert, I want to see many places." Qingzhu Lin whispered, "Iceland, the United Kingdom, the Arctic, the Antarctic. I want to see polar bears, I want to see what penguins look like, and if possible, I want to be buried in the deep sea.
, only there is no one there who wants to kill me or eat me.”
"But once I walk out of here, I have nothing."
"Without the protection of the church, those Sequencers will find me soon. I don't like fighting, I don't like being chased, I don't want to linger, and I don't want to be regarded as a monster with eight heads."
"But, staying here is just waiting to die." Xia Mingwei said solemnly.
"At least you can calm down and read a book, right?" Qing Zhulin said softly, "It's better than being chased by sequencers all over the world."
"Are you serious?"
"Seriously." Qing Zhulin lowered her head, her voice mixed with dissatisfaction, "I have thought about it very seriously, and I am obviously mentally prepared, but..." She slowly held her ears and asked after a long time.
:"Why did you show up?"
Xia Mingwei froze on the spot, as if there was a thorn stuck in his throat, and the guilt climbed up his chest like a thorn.
Perhaps, it was really his appearance that made this girl think she had a similar person she could sympathize with, but he was just an out-and-out liar, full of lies... But even with such lies, she could hear every word.
So serious, like a lonely person who finally grasped at straws.
Xia Mingwei lowered his head, and the hanging strands of hair covered his eyes, but could not hide his twitching cheeks.
Silence enveloped the two of them for a long, long time. On the brown wooden floor, the afternoon sunlight rippled the shadows of the mesh windows.
"Actually... the London, Iceland, North Pole, and Antarctica you mentioned are actually not as far away as you think. You only need a plane ticket to get there." Xia Mingwei suddenly said.
"What about the sequencer?"
"Come and kill each other until they are afraid of us."
"Where are Poseidon and Aphrodite?"
"If they don't let go of us, I will smash their heads with a golden hoop, and then make the bodies of these two stinky dragons into a yacht. We can travel around the world on it and step on it hard."
A few feet, write with a pen, 'Robert and Qingzhu Lin are here for a visit'."
Xia Mingwei said words that even he found incomprehensible. They were almost incoherent and illogical, like a fairy tale told to children.
But Qingzhu Lin was listening carefully. She hugged her knees and quietly stared at the swaying window shadow on the floor. The afternoon sunlight fell into the attic along with the snowflakes.
"What if... we lose control?" she asked.
"Then let's go crazy together and destroy this damn world." Xia Mingwei answered decisively, his voice as calm as if he was stating the facts.
Qingzhu Lin was stunned for a long time and teased lightly: "Such words... are really strange coming from the mouth of a domestic robot like you."
"I'm sorry, I just went to Russia for further training, and now I'm a combat robot."
"Oh, what about my home Robot?"
"Brother, you can freely switch between the 'household type' and the 'combat type', and you can take action at any time." Xia Mingwei imitated Ji Lang's mean tone.
"Yeah."
"Yes." Xia Mingwei said seriously.
"Well..." Qingzhu Lin catered to him, "You are indeed my personal robot, I approve of you." She said, suddenly picked up the book "Snow Country" and covered the lower half of her face, coughed twice,
It's like he is suppressing a smile.
Xia Mingwei stared at her face seriously and said slowly: "Qing Zhulin, I will protect you."
Qing Zhulin took a long time to raise her eyes and meet his gaze: "Really?"
"Really. So we have to live together. We had sex before, right?"
"Okay, let's live together."
In the narrow attic, they made their vows face to face, like two trapped animals driven into a corner by the world. Outside the window was Tokyo with snow falling.
