Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

Li Shen pretended to be casual and asked, "Then do you know what kind of feelings she has for me..."

But he couldn't bring himself to ask the rest of the questions. He was afraid that the answer he would hear would be hard for him to accept. If he could still deceive himself by treating it as a dream before.

But when Xiao Meng appeared, he could no longer deceive himself.

He knew clearly that the dream was real. She was in another world and was in love with a man who looked like him. He was just a thief who was peeping into other people's lives.

It's shameful that a thief like him even dares to dream of getting her.

Compared to the hesitation and concerns of the main consciousness, Xiao Meng's thought was obviously much simpler. After guessing what question Li Shen wanted to ask, he spoke without hesitation.

"She likes you."

Li Shen, who was still feeling a little self-deprecating, was stunned when he heard the answer, and then Xiao Meng dropped an even more explosive bomb.

"Let me see." She was scrolling through her memories. "Oh, yes, she also thought about jumping on you and this and that."

【The picture is not suitable for display~】

"Varied...?"

Li Shen realized something and his calm expression suddenly changed. He tried hard to control his expression, but he couldn't hide the red tip of his ear that was dripping with blood.

He is an adult, how could he not know what the "this and that" in the little dream talk means.

She really treated him...

"Is it because I look like him?"

"Why do you think so? You two are not the same person." Xiao Meng noticed the emotions hidden in his words and replied.

"And the difference between you two is so obvious."

It's so obvious that even if they look exactly the same, you can tell the difference at a glance.

Li Shen in this world seems cold and powerful, but in fact he also has feelings of loneliness and self-abandonment. After all, his previous life was not very good.

Xiao Meng understands this feeling very well, especially the feeling of longing for the sun but also fear of being disturbed.

This kind of person needs countless simple and direct affirmative answers to make them feel at ease.

"But I look just like him."

Li Shen pursed his lips. He didn't want her to like him just because of this face that looked like everyone else's.

"Looking alike doesn't mean anything. I like you, the seemingly cold but actually lovable killer Li Shen. I like you, so why should I care?"

Li Shen felt a little sore in his throat when he heard this.

Does liking mean liking?

It was so simple and direct that it seemed a little insincere, but he was damn touched.

"But my hands are covered in blood."

Li Shen lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice. He was the eraser that others were afraid of. His hands were no longer qualified to touch that clean and bright person. How could he be qualified to be liked?

Seeing him like this, Xiao Meng jumped onto his lap and sat down, saying nonchalantly, "You're just killing the mutants. This is normal until there's a better solution."

If we don't kill them, will we let those mutated people hurt more people? That would be a real sin =-=.

Being too kind makes you look like a saint.

Xiao Meng's words touched something in Li Shen's heart, making him feel sour and swollen.

The first time someone mentioned him, it wasn't disgust or fear, but...

"Besides, you're actually protecting them in disguise." Xiao Meng continued, "After all, if you weren't so decisive, more people might get hurt."

When the mutated wandering bodies attack and spread among the crowd, it is not something that can be solved simply by a few people dying.

Li Shen's behavior may seem cold-blooded and ruthless, but from a certain perspective it is indeed the most appropriate choice in the current situation, and it can curb large-scale dangers in advance.

When facing a disaster, there are few people who can remain sober and rational, and Li Shen happens to be one of them.

Li Shen stared at the little white tiger sitting on her legs. Her eyes were clear and bright, full of sincerity and determination.

It turned out that he was not the cold-blooded, terrifying eraser in her eyes.

On the contrary, she saw herself as just a silent guardian.

This discovery surprised him a little but also made him feel it was natural, because the girl he fell in love with was naturally different from others.

But this realization made his previous inferiority and caution gradually dissipate, and was replaced by a warm power.

He gently curled his lips and stroked Xiao Meng's hair gently, feeling the warmth in his palm.

He thought he knew what the meaning of his future life would be.

That is to love her and protect this girl who believes in him.

"I see. You said she would come. When?"

Xiao Meng shook her head. "I don't know about that either, but it will definitely come!"

What if she doesn't come? What about Li Shen?

Must come!

"Okay, I believe you. Is there anything else you want to do?"

Li Shen asked her, after all, she had said before that the main consciousness separated her for other reasons besides accompanying him.

"Yes, collecting data and the situation of this world."

"why?"

"Well~ realize the dream of saving the world with Li Shen." Xiao Meng thought for a while and said with a smile.

"Okay, so how do we collect it?"

"Let's learn about the layout and forces of this world, as well as the information about wandering bodies."

"I'll take you there tomorrow. It's getting late now, so go to bed first." Li Shen picked her up and carried her back to the bedroom and put her on the soft big bed.

Xiao Meng stepped on the soft and comfortable pillow and couldn't help but burst into tears. Finally! He believed it!

Woohoo, considering how much he loves the main consciousness, I will finally be treated well in the future!

Li Shen: Am I not doing it right now?

That shabby sofa is not comfortable at all. The bed is better.

Xiao Meng lay down on the bed very consciously, with her head resting on the pillow and her body lying flat on her back like a human.

"Is it okay to sleep like this?" Li Shen looked at her strange sleeping posture with some concern.

Is it really okay to sleep like this?

"It's okay~ I'm not a real little white tiger anyway."

So don’t understand it in the normal way.

Seeing her expression of "I have my limits", Li Shen swallowed the words he wanted to say, reached out and pulled the quilt to cover her before going to sleep himself.

Perhaps because he was accompanied by someone important to him, he slept well that night.

*

【Wow, there's a place like this in this city? 】

Xiao Meng hugged Li Shen's neck and looked at the bustling market in front of them through his shoulders with an amazed look on her face.

"kindness."

Li Shen responded softly, then took out a pair of headphones and put them on.

Xiao Meng's words were conveyed through spiritual communication so that others would not be frightened.

But he couldn't communicate mentally, so if he wanted to respond to Xiao Meng's words he could only speak them out loud, but that would make him look weird. In order to cover it up, he put on headphones so that others would think he was on the phone.

[With so many people here, aren't you afraid there might be stray bodies?]

"This trading market was established by a team of high-level evolutors from Lincheng. They are very powerful and have energy stabilizers, so there won't be any stray bodies."

"Even if it happens, they can handle it."

Although the safe city does not accept outsiders and strictly controls the items within the city, money is attractive and there will always be people who can get good things.

[Is that so? Then why don’t you come shopping here? ]

【Also, why is it built underground? 】

She had never seen him come to these places. Even strolling around the city at night was desolate and dark. Who would have thought that there was such a place underground?

"People had been living underground for many years to avoid wandering bodies, but after learning that the strange energy and core substances in the air could cause humans to mutate, and that wandering bodies had also appeared underground, everyone simply returned to live above ground."

You can't hide away, so why are you still staying underground?

"I don't have many needs in life." So he doesn't need to go shopping.

His life is really simple, eating, resting, and playing.

[Okay, you're boring, but you can add a few more things to your life from now on.]

"Okay." Li Shen looked at the little white tiger in his arms tenderly.

If she wanted, he would be willing to accompany her in anything.

Li Shen took her for a stroll aimlessly through the crowded crowd.

The market is in an underground square, which is very large. There are shops, stalls, and even people standing on the street selling things with baskets.

[What's that? Why are there so many people?] Xiao Meng pointed at a stall packed with people.

Li Shen looked up and said calmly, "Selling obsolete weapons."

The safe city is rich in resources, and many damaged or obsolete weapons are recycled and given to people outside the city in exchange for supplies or cores.

Those people will trade what they can’t use themselves.

[Is that so? Let's go check it out.] Xiao Meng was curious about what weapons the people in this world used to defeat the Wandering Body. Was it the Evol energy gun?

Li Shen nodded and carried her to the front of the stall, while the coldness from his body dissipated slightly.

In front of the stall.

"Boss, I'm an old customer too. Can you give me a little discount?" A handsome man pointed at a pile of worn weapons in front of him and said to a burly man with a rough appearance and full of muscles.

It seems that this burly man is the boss.
