time for sysyphus

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

——Ji Xiao's greetings are no strangers to Lin Si.

He struggled to look up, and sure enough, he saw the dark and ruthless face in his memory again, with terrifying hatred hidden in his dark blue eyes.

But when it came time to face the murderer, what immediately came to Lin Si's mind... was actually only Ji Zhongnian's face.

He misses his Master Ji so much, wants to see his Master Ji so much, this emotion even surpasses the fear and anxiety of facing death.

Therefore, he was more peaceful than the last two times, without struggling or trembling, he just quietly watched Ji Xiao in front of him.

As expected, Ji Xiao and Ji Zhongnian are brothers, those eyes are very similar, are they carved out of the same mold?It's just that the charm in the pupils is quite different.

When Lin Si looked at these eyes, he would think that his master Ji had been looking at him with tender and cherishing eyes for many years, while Ji Xiao in front of him only had boundless hatred and murderous thoughts in his eyes.

"We don't see each other much, maybe once or twice? I won't introduce myself. You are someone close to Ji Zhongnian, so you should know who I am, right?" Ji Xiao said coldly.

After that, he slowly raised the stick in his hand and hit Lin Si hard on the head. Lin Si gritted his teeth and grunted in pain, feeling hot liquid flowing from his forehead and dripping on the ground.

"Uh...uh," Lin Si said vaguely.

Seeing that he wanted to talk, Ji Xiao took the cloth strip from his mouth, squatted down like watching an ant that couldn't escape his palm, "Say."

"You..." Lance gasped in pain, and said weakly to him, "Your wife...and your son...I'm sorry..."

Ji Xiao was so irritated by Lin Si that he couldn't bear it until he finished speaking, so he violently beat and kicked Lin Si, like crazy, shouting hysterically: "Don't say these words! You are dead, don't fuck No matter how hypocritical! They should be buried with them!"

A torrent of fists and kicks fell on Lin Si, and he curled up, still unable to avoid being kicked in the abdomen, and all the internal organs seemed to be kicked out of place.

"I feel sad for them, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm extremely sad," Lin Si glared at Ji Xiao with all his strength, and finished his sentence through gritted teeth: "But for you, it's not at all!"

Panting heavily, Ji Xiao poked his face with the end of a stick: "You are dying, are you proud? No one will save you."

"I know," Lince said.

For three years, he has been mentally preparing for death, and the premonition has never disappeared. He has experienced a period of daily panic and anxiety, and he has the despair of knowing that the time is coming...but he can't do anything about it.

Of course, I also had a fluke mentality, thinking that I could compete with God and overcome the obstacles of the time loop.However, after all, he is just a tiny mayfly in this world, which is useless.

Ji Xiao was taken aback by the fearless look in Lin Si's eyes. This man seemed to have foreseen his fate long ago, and he didn't want to put on a gesture of begging for mercy. Extremely.

He hated that look the most.

Ji Xiao burned into anger, and vented all his hatred for Ji Zhongnian on Lin Si, hitting Lin Si hard on the neck and head.

"You are very important to him, right? Lin, this is the cause of your death!" Ji Xiao abused crazily, "People who Ji Zhongnian valued must die!"

Lin Si spit out a mouthful of bright red saliva, his consciousness was blurred due to the heavy blow to his brain, and he muttered: "Master Ji... Zhongnian..."

He subconsciously recalled that dream again, wanting to reach out and meet Ji Zhongnian who can redeem him.But Ji Zhongnian was trapped in a cage, he could only watch him helplessly, they couldn't even touch each other.

"You want to see Ji Zhongnian? Well, that's exactly what I mean," Ji Xiao looked down at the dying Lin Si, and smiled morbidly, "I'll let you meet him."

On the other side of the world, in the top office of a high-rise building, Ji Zhongnian is anxiously waiting for news from Lin Si. Since the phone call with Lin Si that was hung up an hour ago, he has been unable to contact Lin Si for a long time. restless.

Suddenly, his cell phone kept vibrating, and the incoming call showed an unfamiliar number.

He frantically turned off the phone, but soon, the phone screen lit up again, and it was the phone number just now.

Looking at the vibrating phone, Ji Zhongnian felt a strong ominous feeling in his heart. The moment he pressed his finger to answer, he trembled uncontrollably.

"Hey?"

"Be safe, my dear brother."

Ji Zhongnian kept silent, and was about to hang up the phone, but the other party seemed to know his actions, and came a word: "Don't hang up on me in a hurry, let you listen to a person's voice first."

Ji Xiao raised his leg to wrap his arms around Lin Si, the pain made Lin Si moan uncontrollably, and his voice clearly entered Ji Zhongnian's ears.

"Did you hear?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I want you to die, I want the people around you to die with you." Ji Xiao said.

His veins are protruding, and his spirit has long been abnormal.Sadism excited him, and when he thought of Ji Zhongnian's pain at the moment, he felt the pleasure of revenge all the more.

After so many years of grievances and grievances, at this moment, no one wins or loses.Let's all go to hell, everyone is doomed.

Rings was badly injured and had little chance of surviving.He lay weakly on the ground, vaguely hearing what Ji Xiao and Ji Zhongnian said.

He could only vaguely see Ji Xiao pointing the camera at him, synchronizing his pain and dying with Ji Zhongnian.

Lin Si even became numb to this, and experienced the disaster all over again.On the contrary, those days together with Ji Zhongnian in the past three years passed through his mind like a horse, which made him feel soft and warm in his heart.

"Master Ji..." His pupils began to lose focus.

Ji Xiao glanced at Lin Si on the ground, took out a dagger from his body, and said to Ji Zhongnian with a strange smile: "It seems that he has a last word to tell you."

A round black lens was in front of him, and Lin Si was in a trance, thinking instinctively: "I'm fine...I'm okay...really, okay."

Last words?Want to say a last word?

In the past three years, every sleepless night, he would silently prepare his last words for this moment.

There are too many words accumulated in my heart for many years and several lifetimes, all of which are about the love I want to appeal to Ji Zhongnian, but until now, it seems that I can't say anything.

Probably only "reluctant" three words.

On the other side, Ji Zhongnian fell into an unprecedented despair. He didn't even dare to look at Lin Si's miserable situation, fearing that it would be the last time.

He had swept everything on the table to the ground, and the surroundings were in a mess. Uncontrollable tears overflowed from his eyes and slid down his trembling jaw.

After a short silence, he heard Lin Si's voice.

"Master Ji, we...may be separated for a while...but don't worry...we will see you again."

——He is a person who is very afraid of death, but as long as he thinks that he will meet Ji Zhongnian when he opens his eyes again, he will not be afraid of anything.

"Next time, I...I will still go to you, early...waiting for you at that place."

——If he does it all over again, he will pursue Ji Zhongnian from the very beginning, not wasting every minute and every second, and even treat the time with Ji Zhongnian as a good dream, one good dream after another , constantly falling asleep and waking up.

"However, Zhongnian, chasing someone is very hard... At that time, if you like me earlier, then I will work less hard..."

——I also thought about it, maybe if I wasn't with Ji Zhongnian, I wouldn't have experienced these things, and I wouldn't have been killed.But he couldn't do it, he still wanted to never turn back, he still wanted to continue to love each other, thousands of times.

"Don't be sad, and, I... love you very much."

Lin Si didn't say any more, the blood had already poured into his throat, and the feeling of suffocation rose up like a tide, and every time he said a word, he would suffer double the pain.

He heard Ji Zhongnian's cry and Ji Xiao's laughter, so he tried his best to make a sound from his throat, but it was like whimpering and panting.

In vain, the sharp and long blade pierced through the air, aimed at Lin Si's heart exactly, and passed through.

Bright red blood gushed out like a gush, and the fresh heart was pierced suddenly. The moment the blood splashed, it seemed that the entire screen was dyed red.

"Lin Si—!" Ji Zhongnian's pitiful roar was the last sound reaching Lin Si's eardrums.

The man was lying on the dirty ground, all the pain on his body slowly faded away, and the clear pupils gradually lost their color, like a night light going out, without a sound.

A voice that loses color of life pours out the beginning of the time cycle.

The feeling of death is not real, Lin Si is like being trapped in a chaotic nightmare, so he struggles hard, sliding his arms, like a drowning person struggling to surface.

Float, float, float...

Perhaps a person's obsession can really surpass everything, his sanity slowly gathers, and like this, he is pulled back by his own desire to survive.

The gears of time are rolling again.

Lin Si slowly opened his eyes, in front of him were moss and wall dust...

It was still this old, familiar home in a dilapidated slum, fresh air poured into the nostrils again, driving the blood and pulse.

It's again... time loop.

How many times is this?the third time?the fourth time?Or... it's already lost count.

Suddenly, Lin Si was immersed in the chaos, and his mind went back to the past, as if he was inspired by fate.

——"You like me that much?"

——"Let me die eight hundred times, and I still like it."

——"How about eight hundred and one deaths?"

——"If you die countless times, you will like it so much."

Horrible death does not separate lovers, nor does a long time loop, and nothing can stop them from getting back together, as long as, "I love you enough."

Lin Si jumped up suddenly and rushed out of the house.

He has never run so fast like now, like crazy, like a pilgrimage, rushing towards that dark alleyway, with the sound of swift wind roaring in his ears, making him more and more awake as he ran.

There is only one person's name in his heart.

"Zhongnian... Ji Zhongnian, Ji Zhongnian!"

Perhaps, he will be unable to beat time forever, and can only be trapped in an endless loop like a vortex, experiencing the separation of yin and yang over and over again, and will never be able to escape.

Even, in every time loop, he is suffering and happiness coexist.

However, he still wants to meet the person he loves deeply again, and he will still try his best to change death, sacrificing himself for the phrase "grow old together".

In the darkness, a person staggered and walked towards Lin Si.

The two people's footsteps approached quickly, and when Lin Si rushed to the dark alley, the other person was also stumbling here.

Ji Zhongnian was covered in blood, holding the wound on his body tightly, dodging the danger behind him in embarrassment, and as a last resort, he broke into this sparsely populated slum.

He turned into a dark corner, and a second before he fainted from exhaustion, someone who had been waiting here suddenly ran over from the darkness.

The light was extremely insufficient, and the air seemed to freeze instantly.

Ji Zhongnian froze, almost bumping head-on with the familiar figure in front of him, but the other person stretched out his arms, hugging him tightly who was about to fall.

——They stood at the beginning of the time loop again.

Like two characters in a drama, one's love has lasted three lifetimes, while the other's love has just begun.

"Lin Si, save me..." Ji Zhongnian blurted out.

The person who hugged him gave a meal.

Destiny is the thread that binds them tightly together. This is not a fragile silk thread, but an iron thread that keeps cutting and burning.

The infinite number of deaths are connected by this line, spreading out in countless fleeting years. Maybe in the next few decades or even hundreds of years, Lin Si will still be in the cycle continuously.

But he is not afraid.

Because every reunion with Ji Zhongnian after rebirth can bring him great surprises and hopes.

He will cherish every limited love and protect the lover he likes to the core, even in the end, he has read the incomplete script by heart, and the pain of heart-pounding has become a habit...

——Loving you is not because you are afraid of hurting each other, so you choose to retreat step by step, but to be brave and run to you desperately, dying for love.

Love you fearlessly again and again, even knowing that death will tear us apart.

"Zhongnian, I'm here to save you."

The author says:

PS: It can be noted that in the loop at the end, the first sentence Ji Zhongnian said was not "Save me", but "Lin Si, save me."
