Chapter 71
Chapter 71
The days are quiet.
The time of power outage in the world is getting longer and longer, and it often falls into darkness at every turn.
Huo Xiuxun is getting more handsome every year. When he was 27 years old, he had slender eyes with slanted eyes. When he was not wearing the black-rimmed glasses that prevent blue light when he was typing on the computer, he always had a lazy look that made people unable to take his eyes off Lazy and beautiful.Pei Lin sometimes even wanted to use the word "beautiful and compelling" to describe him.
The 27-year-old man's temperament is introverted, not as evil or expensive as Pei Lin expected seth to be.
They go to and from get off work, and occasionally go for donuts together.We went on dangerous missions together on ships in the Mediterranean Sea, and when we were on business trips together, we would stop by the square to feed the pigeons.Plant plants together, read books, eat delicious food, wash and cook, and enjoy sweetness.
The most outrageous thing Huo Xiuxun did was to build a snowman for a snowball fight when it was snowing, and play tricks on Professor Pei with his cold hands.
Didn't do anything in private that Alvin Young was silently guarding against him.
There is no sudden collapse, no kidnapping in a small black room, and no quiet and uninhabited third-level world.
The days are quiet.
I didn't propose or get a certificate, but I was definitely "married".
At least one of them thinks so. Huo Xiuxun's birthday last year was completely organized by them as a large-scale wedding venue.Even a large auditorium was used, with champagne balloons, lanterns, colored paper, and more.
Pei Libin and his wife...also think they are "married".
Although they are very opposed to it, parents will of course object to their only baby son going on the "road of no return", but whether it is playing "I will give you 1000 million and you leave my son" or engage in some common wealthy sunglasses thugs Threats, unfortunately, are completely useless to Huo Xiuxun——
After all, Professor Pei is now being raised by him, and he also bought a very expensive house nearby.Professor Pei has always been a civil servant in his previous life. He didn't think about earning a lot of money that could be earned, but he is a nimble trader and businessman.
As for finding someone to threaten him?
sure?Came here to threaten a civil servant of the super powerful Security Bureau who is well-known for fighting with guns?
After all, Tang Caiping liked Xiao Xun who had a similar taste to her from before, and after a few months of holding back at home, she successfully changed her mind.
It would be nice to have one more son, but Xiao Xun is also cute anyway.And with his son being so uncute, it's probably hard to find someone cuter than Xiaoxun.
After thinking about it this way, they have already started to airdrop loving snack packages to their apartments.
Only Pei Libin was still whining "I will never agree" all day long, lamenting that no one would inherit their family's business kingdom.
Pei Lin didn't bother to talk to him either.
Professor Pei recently learned a new skill, helping Huo Xiuxun to trim his hair on the balcony in the sunny afternoon.
Every time he trimmed it slightly, although Huo Xiuxun kept asking him to click his little wolf tail, but he always thought that Seth's brown little wolf tail was a living thing, and it was so fluffy and cute, anyway, he was unwilling.
"Cut it off," Huo Xiuxun glanced at him with amber eyes, "Anyway, I will shave off one day in the future."
This is a speech at the level of a hell joke.
His head will be shaved because he will definitely go to jail when he returns to the real world.But this kind of talk is no taboo between the two of them now.
After all, old couples have been together for too long, and it is impossible to treat each other with respect, romance and warmth all the time. There will always be some hellish speeches and throw something in the face of the opposite party, which is very normal.
When Pei Linyou mowed Huo Xiuxun to bed, Hell spoke a lot: "Hey, dawdle, do you still want to do it?"
"Can you stand up a little bit?"
"As a man, you can't have a bad waist in the virtual world? It doesn't make sense."
"..."
"Speaking of which, you haven't always liked to follow the plots in those messy books. The books you read were all written in one night... how many times?"
"Xiao Xun, you, you have to learn to learn from books."
Then, Huo Xiuxun hit him with a pillow.
Seth, an innocent boy, is usually calm, elegant, powerful and sharp, but he becomes very shy in bed.There was clearly an entire bookshelf of imperial books, but it turned out that it was just a display.
To sum up, this person really can't play the little black house.
And sometimes, when Pei Lin was in a daze after reading the book, he would suddenly kick Huo Xiuxun: "Hey, tell me, in the real world, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, have you ever turned into a ghost or a zombie? Or the possibility of vampires?"
"If the road in the East has indeed been closed, is there still a game in the West?"
"I heard that in the circle of rich people abroad, there are some who play undead summoning or black magic in private. Did you know about these at that time?"
"Maybe if I work hard, I can still struggle in another form."
"Tell me, is there hope?"
"..."
Huo Xiuxun's response to this kind of hell speech was also very frank: "I can go back and try."
"You also work hard, it's best to struggle a bit."
"I can accept the ghost, but I don't know if I can accept it. You may have to fight it."
Doudou was later snatched by Huo Xiuxun and raised, and it should have belonged to Pei Lin's golden retriever.
The cute puppy who was only over ten pounds when he brought him home and could be held up with one hand, grew into a gigantic fifty pounds after only half a year of raising him. Lick his saliva all over his face.
DouDou is usually very cute and well-behaved. The only shortcoming is that he lives in the small apartment that Huo Xiuxun bought in the UK. I can't help but wonder, there is something wrong with that wall, whether the dog can often see things that he can't see.
In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly on the balcony full of green plants, Huo Xiuxun narrowed his eyes.
This is also good.
After he went back, some of them played.
Then he tries out his ghost-summoning skills with an old grimoire from a flea market for ten pounds, while the dog yells wildly at the wall.In this way, you can have a high-quality experience of "maybe the magic has come true".
He can also dream that the ghost Professor Pei is in the house, and he is desperately trying to become a zombie bridegroom and a vampire count through his magic summons again and again, and unexpectedly appears by his bedside one night.
That's pretty good too.
right.
……
Finally, one day in the second half of his 27th year, Shuangjiang Small World completely fell.
Fireflies, boats, nothing left.
As time went on, one day, Ning Ning, who had gone to work in a southern city after graduation, suddenly lost contact.Later, some countries were erased from the world map one after another, and the cities gradually shrank, but no one thought there was a problem.
Soon, the people who were close to them gradually disappeared one by one.
The world is crumbling.
Alvin Yang: "Even we might disappear suddenly one day... Hey, what are you doing, Professor Pei?"
Pei Lin: "Write a diary."
The slender fingers moved on the floating screen, and Alvin Yang leaned over, curious and puzzled: "Hey, this is the floating screen that I can't see?"
"Professor Pei, who is a serious person who keeps a diary?"
Pei Lin didn't speak, but his fingers were still moving rapidly.Strictly speaking, what he wrote was not really a diary, but closer to a... letter to himself.
Alvin Yang: "Writing to yourself? Is reality the one in the world?"
But aren't you dead in the real world?
Pei Lin: "Physical existence or annihilation may not be able to bind everything. There are too many areas that science in this world has not explored."
"Since they can all turn into ghosts. Maybe they can also turn into zombies, vampires, or something else."
What if.
In case this world ends, he can still be conscious and work hard to create miracles.
Alvin Yang: "..."
Alvin Yang: "Is he really that cute?" Pei Lin: "Isn't he cute?"
Alvin Yang shook his head, he is a vengeful person, he still remembers the vengeance of pushing down the cliff PTSD.
Of course, I also remember that they played basketball together at school and went hiking together in other places.
I remember that when Huo Xiuxun was in college, he drove around in the car, often driving him along, and treated him to a lot of meals and drinks after work.He was also rescued at the scene of the explosion.
although.
Even though it's a virtual world, and even though he likes to stick his head out of the window when he goes for a ride, that mean-mouthed criminal always says he looks like a big happy golden retriever.
He patted Pei Lin: "Okay, I've decided. If you really become a zombie or a vampire, I will be your undercover agent in the first place. I will definitely protect you and prevent the lab from arresting you for experiments."
Pei Lin: "..."
Pei Lin: "Thank you so much." =_=
In the summer of that year, both of them took their annual leave and went to the beaches around the city for vacation. It was a pleasant and beautiful vacation.
When I came back, a nearby donut shop was gone.
The shop disappeared suddenly, but not suddenly.Huo Xiuxun had lost some weight recently, he didn't show a big reaction, but his face was slightly pale.Lying on the bed at night, his fingers tightly clenched Pei Lin.
The pointer was almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Pei Lin asked him, "Xiao Xun, are you still awake?"
half an hour.
"Ah."
Pei Lin knew that he was not asleep.
As the days count down day by day, how long has he dared not sleep in the middle of the night.I wasted all day, and bought a pair of black-rimmed glasses to try to cover up my dark circles.
Pei Lin turned over and wrapped him in his arms: "Little Xun, close your eyes."
total darkness.
Then, the surroundings were dimly lit, and the dots of light were like shooting stars in the dark night, falling to the ground.
Huo Xiuxun was stunned, looking at everything around him in disbelief.This is his Frost's Fall small world, but shouldn't this small world have already collapsed?
Pei Lin: "I thought of a way and secretly left a small piece."
"How about technology?"
Huo Xiuxun's eyes were slightly red.
He smiled, bowed and hugged Pei Lin's waist.The two of them were silent for a long time in the still dark night world. Huo Xiuxun put his head on his shoulder: "Professor Pei, you...don't worry about me."
Don't worry about saying it first because you don't want to hear the things you say later.
I don't want to hear you say that after everything is over, I hope I can live well in the original world alone.
In no mood.
don't want to hear.
Huo Xiuxun rarely took the initiative to kiss Pei Lin.He didn't know why, he obviously enjoyed that kind of intimacy, but every time he awkwardly had to wait until the other party asked for a kiss.
He kissed, terrified and reluctant, tears were about to fall, when suddenly he saw a very strange wall in his blurred peripheral vision.There are still wrists and shackles on the wall, which looks like a... small black room for imprisoning people? ? ?
Huo Xiuxun was extremely puzzled.
Professor Pei tried his best to leave such a small piece of Frost's Landing Small World.His choice was not the beautiful boat in the firefly lake, or their little home with the golden retriever dog walking around.
He actually chose a small black room that only exists in his delusions, has never really seen it, and has never planned to put it into use to imprison Professor Pei? !
Pei Lin: "...Oh, I thought you liked this."
The expression on his face at that time, Huo Xiuxun was completely indescribable, as if to say that stealing and looting is not your biggest delusion all the time?Huo Xiuxun's back was hot from him, his teeth were itchy, he was angry and funny, and wanted to bite him to death.
Immediately, he lowered his head and realized that he was also dressed very strangely in the small world.
He stretched out his two claws feebly.
Pei Lin smiled with gray eyes: "Little green-skinned dinosaur, how cute."
Cute is cute, he's going to be stared at to death by someone.So I had no choice but to wave my hand silently, replacing someone's inconvenient big dinosaur skin with a passionate big laser with orange and blue contrasting colors.
Huo Xiuxun: "..."
Pei Lin: "Dissatisfied? You never liked this kind of thing?" In fact, after watching it for a long time, you will get used to it. The contrasting colors of red and blue, and red and green are very cute. The earth is the ocean.
The meteor fell little by little.
Huo Xiuxun was so angry that he didn't want to talk, so if he arrested him, he would kiss him in that suit today!
The tips of their noses collided, and Huo Xiuxun bit his lip hard.
Breathing, hot, dizzy.
He hugged Huo Xiuxun's waist, Huo Xiuxun opened his fingers, inserted them into the gaps of his fingers one by one, until finally interlocking his fingers tightly.
"...Little Xun."
"If you cooperate well with one, the sentence won't last long. Read the agreement several times, and refute all the terms you don't like. They value you very much. Even if it takes longer, you will be free in the office."
"My mother, she has the same personality as in this world..."
"She never liked me very much, but she liked you. Do it all over again, and she will still like you."
"With her personality, she will invite you to my house for New Year's Eve dinner every year." She will also treat you as a substitute for her son and worry about your marriage.
"Let's go to Aunt Tao's bakery too. I heard it's delicious. Let's see how Ning Ning is doing after marriage... Make our dog fatter."
And, there are many more.
There are so many things I want to say, I can't finish them.
The surroundings became extremely quiet, and I couldn't hear anything.
Not even a heartbeat could be heard.
Even the sense of touch became blurred, Pei Lin tried hard to lightly move his fingertips, wanting to touch his slightly long brown hair again.
"Little Xun."
"If this is a story in a book."
"We're actually Happy Ending already, aren't we?"
"..."
Pei Lin felt himself floating lightly, as if being warmly embraced by a lover's hand.It was dark and quiet all around, no breathing, no sound, nothing.
He recalled the noisy chirping of cicadas in the shade of the trees when he was nine years old, the strong citrus fragrance in the car on a rainy night, his muddled life, and those years when he had a little dinosaur.
Xiao Xun.
"Actually, there is one thing that I never told you."
"Thank you for liking me. You don't know how important this liking is to me..."
He has always been like a robot with a missing heart, wanting to learn, understand, and possess the emotions that humans should have.
He had read a lot of books and understood a lot of truths, but he became more and more desperate.Because unless there is a person who loves him unconditionally like a fairy tale in this world, who can fill in everything he lacked since he was a child, otherwise his heart will never be able to function normally.
But in this world, there is no love for no reason.
What his parents can't do, he can't expect the luck of one in a million, one in ten million, someone will overcome all obstacles.
But that day, in the white fantasy world, the small system had a soft voice, saying that someone liked him very much.
Why, as a rational person, he had no inevitable struggle from the beginning to the end of such an absurd thing as entering the "world of books".
Because, he also wanted to see who that person was.
He also wanted to give himself a chance to seize a little bit of luck and miracle.
Grab a baby dinosaur by its tiny green tail.
……
……
"The detection rate is 99.5%, 99.7%... 100%, the Philae Temple system is confirmed to be broken."
"Chu Xun, it's all right, the other party's address information is fully obtained, and the arrest is approved!"
Zhuo Zi slightly bit the straw with a handsome face, and threw the keyboard away.He has been struggling in the unit for a day and a night, and it is finally over!I'm so annoyed, when will I finish this job with less money and more life, I just want to go home and take a bath with my partner.
The newcomers behind him were much more excited than the old man.
There was a burst of cheers, and the grand occasion seemed to be immersed in watching the national team win the game.
"Professor Pei won, Professor Pei won!!!"
"The Philae system has been cracked, and it's a beautiful victory."
Xiaoxin people: "It's too strong, people are still waking up in the hospital, and they can be so strong to connect brain waves ... 艹! Ah ah ah, it's not wonderful!"
Zhuo Zi frowned slightly: "What's the matter, what's the matter?"
Little rookie: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo L L L I was the one who was careless, eh."
Zhuo Ziwei looked over and rolled his eyes.Although the system of the Temple of Philae has collapsed, Seth's pranks are as usual.Zhuo Ziwei still remembers that a few years ago he was once hacked by this person, and was forced to play dozens of hours of humiliatingly boring love games made up by seth to clear the level.
Now, Xiao Xinren's machine has also been hijacked by the new word love game.
[There is one thing that I didn't tell you. 】
【After separation, I will... rewrite many, many worlds. 】
【I will try my best to find you, and you have to come to me too. 】
The screen is black, and a bunch of little ghosts are floating around. [Click to start the game. 】
Zhuo Ziwei: "..."
Zhuo Ziwei: "It was you who were not careful, so you should clear this game by yourself. Come on when I go home."
……
An island in the Atlantic Ocean.
Huo Xiuxun woke up from a strong sense of weightlessness.
A few months ago, the person he loved since he was a child died. When he was severely depressed, he didn't eat or drink at all. Later, his subordinates couldn't see it and gave him some medicine.
But he is not willing to rely on those. Professor Pei wrote on the Internet that he doesn't like psychotic criminals and drug-addicted bastards.
He took half of it, and he couldn't take the other half.
Had to rely on mental opium, entered the system countless times, and simulated self-deception countless times.
In the Philae Temple system, resentment greatly accelerated the infinite reality of illusions, generating various weird plots.The ridiculous thing is that he can imitate everything well, but Professor Pei can't imitate anything like that.
over and over again.
In the end he got bored, and everything was ruined.
He began to recklessly load and upgrade the system of the Philae Temple, and the result of driving everything to the limit was that the risk of the system was completely exposed, and it was so fragile that it could be attacked by anyone.
For the last time, the world in the system is finally terrifyingly real.
Huo Xiuxun remembered a long time ago, when he stood in the corridor of high school at a young age, passing by a meticulous boy, and then watched that person from a distance for many years, he had been secretly hiding the same problem.
"What should I do to get your love?"
"Is it never possible?"
This question now has an answer.
It is possible.
It's entirely possible, and that's enough.
Huo Xiuxun woke up that evening.He got up and drank a glass of water, watched the sunset for a while, and before midnight, the special police broke into his underground laboratory.
He was tied behind the back and put in shackles.A young man from one place followed the special police.Once in a certain virtual world, this person often jumped around him: "I like Director Huo the most!"
The young man is just a simple little straight man, his so-called liking is the kind of liking that is simply respected and admired.
At that time Huo Xiuxun asked him: "Then if I'm not who I am now, what would you think of me?"
The young man didn't understand: "But Huo Chu is Huo Chu?"
He is not.
There is only one person in the world who knows how bad he is and still likes him.
Before being blindfolded, Huo Xiuxun watched the sunset for the last time.
He once asked Pei Lin, how to "do it all over again"?The hard disk is formatted and rewritten once. Whether the past information should be overwritten or not, there are always traces left.
After he said this, Pei Lin only looked at him with a smile.
"But when it reopens, there will be new content."
Yes, no matter how far apart they are, when he thinks of him in the future, he will always think of the sea he has been to, the wheat fields he has stepped on, the sky full of stars, and the setting sun.Roses in a bottle, sweet citrus.
[Knock Knock] He said secretly in his heart.
No one responded to him.
