abyss rose

The strange beast flew away.

At the moment when the will of human beings completely disappeared, a pair of wings that did not belong to human beings finally took the body that may still have human memory to the boundless sky, broke through the thick fog, and flew away from the bondage.

Chai Yuening never spoke a word to him, but she still remembered the morning when she saw this elder for the first time.

In his memory, he seemed to have just come out of that gentleman's room, and he greeted An Li in an approachable tone.

Many people in the fog zone base like him, and he should be a very good teacher.

It's a pity that he can no longer fly to the sky with those little guys who hang around him every day to have a good look at this deep mountain and wild forest, and he can no longer fly to the group living outside with the news of the base in the foggy area. multi-human world.

People in the foggy area can never hope for the same kind on the other side of the world.

The motorcade that saw Uncle Liu off began to return.

People are silent, only the sound of the wind whistling in their ears.

The road ahead is vast, and you can't see the distance at a glance.

Chai Yuening felt a little bored, and she found herself hating this sense of no direction even more.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when the truck drove back to the base.

Chai Yuening saw Chu Ci standing at the gate of the base from a distance. As soon as the car arrived, she turned over and jumped off, and ran to Chu Ci's side in a few steps.

"When I went out, it wasn't very bright yet, you fell asleep..." She explained without confidence.

Chu Ci shook his head, didn't blame anything, just said lightly: "Lan Yi made soup at noon and sent us some."

Chai Yuening: "Is it delicious?"

Chu Ci: "I don't know."

Don't know, just haven't tried it yet.

Chai Yuening came to his senses and asked a silly question, and Chu Ci was waiting for her to come back to eat together.

"Is it cold? Go back and heat it up, let's taste it together."

"Ah."

Chai Yuening walked ahead. She seemed to have something to say to Chu Ci, but her heart was very messy, and she couldn't find a clue after thinking about it.

She warmed up the soup that Lan Yi sent, broke some noodles into it, and filled her stomach full.

She felt that facing Chu Ci, her thoughts might not be hidden, but after a long time of uncontrollable hesitation, she felt more and more that she didn't know where to start with some thoughts—after all, she didn't even know why she was depressed. I can't figure it out.

Chai Yuening suppressed the unexplained boredom in her heart silently.

She was cleaning the thermos of Lan Yi's house, thinking about sending it to someone in a while, and thanking her by the way.

But Chu Ci did not know when he stood behind her: "Today, my husband is looking for me."

Chai Yuening's hand washing the dishes couldn't help but pause, a mess of thoughts flashed through her mind, but she seemed to be unable to catch anything, except for nervousness, there was nothing left.

She quickly came back to her senses and pretended to be nonchalant: "What did you say, sir?"

"He took me to do some tests, and said that I am exactly the same as I was more than 50 years ago. I have clearly incorporated non-human characteristics, but the test results of various indexes are no different from those of ordinary uninfected humans." Chu Ci said, " He began to understand why outside researchers have been unable to find the truth from me... From the perspective of research, I really don't like oil and salt."

Chu Ci's words were as plain as ever, but Chai Yuening seemed to be able to hear her self-blame.

The humans outside have not treated her kindly, but she always blames herself for not being able to help them.

Chai Yuening turned the washed thermos upside down on a dry towel, wiped her hands, turned around and said, "It's not your fault, it's them who want you, and you don't have to force yourself to be what they expect."

"Sir also said so." Chu Ci lowered his eyebrows.

"There are a lot of 'what if' things in this world." Chai Yuening shrugged, "I don't understand those messy technical terms, but I know that probability is random, everything is accidental, no one can copy the 'what if' '."

"You don't need to comfort me. Actually, I'm not sad, and I don't really mind." Chu Ci raised his eyes and looked at Chai Yuening seriously, "I just want to say it, and tell you."

"Ah..." Chai Yuening was a little overwhelmed.

"Not only this matter, but also other things." Chu Ci said, turned and walked out of the kitchen, and sat at the small table by the window.

Chai Yuening came out and sat down beside her: "What else?"

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows and looked out the window, but he couldn't see through the thick fog covering the world.

"The day I first came here, my husband said that he had seen me, which doesn't match the files of Floating Void City." Chu Ci said softly, and fell into a short silence.

Chai Yuening didn't interrupt her silence, but just quietly waited for the next sentence.

The silence didn't last long, and Chu Ci suddenly said quietly: "Sir, I found some old information about me, which are a few fragments of pages that were hastily transferred from the secret research institute. It turns out that in 2177, I did experience a great Field Fusion Experimental Surgery."

"..."

"What Mr. said is true. The surgery happened before the destruction of the old world. At that time, the base of the floating city had not yet been established." Chu Ci said lightly, "The history of the floating city related to me is false, and it was written for me. My files are fake, even my memory is fake...they are hiding something, something must have been erased from my memory."

She frowned, her eyes were a little more sad: "They lied to me, I don't understand why they lied to me."

Obviously she is already very obedient, but some people still want her to lose her memory, emotion, and judgment and thinking that should belong to human beings.

Looking back now, in the past 50 years, she did not live much different from a dead thing.

If Shi Wenlin hadn't found out those yellowed old materials, she wouldn't even have the slightest doubt about the "has a vague past" in her memory.

She just felt that she had lived too long and couldn't remember many things clearly.

Or, she would naturally think that during the time she met Chai Yuening, she had indeed lost her memory, and it was normal that some of her memories could not be recovered.

It's just that some things really don't exist if they are not mentioned.

"Do you hate them?" Chai Yuening asked softly.

Chu Ci was slightly taken aback.

She thought for a long time, and finally just shook her head: "I just couldn't help thinking, what did they make me forget, are those memories important to me?"

"I want to find that answer," she said. "I want to go back there."

She looked at Chai Yuening and asked seriously: "Can I go back?"

For the first time, she had questioned the man who seemed to forever respect her every choice before making a decision.

Her eyes were expectant.

The next second, she saw Chai Yuening suddenly smiled with relief.

He smiled and said to her, "I'll accompany you."

In this crazy world, they have similar crazy thoughts.

—Go back to that cage and do something.
