Are you human?

For a long time after that conversation, Fu Yu didn't speak to Fu Lianyu again, and he didn't even make eye contact. Once again, life became boring again. He spent hours staring at the boy sitting He read a book under the tree without saying a word, but the book in his own hand did not turn over two pages.

Fu Lianyu even began to regret that he had told Fu Yu the truth on the spur of the moment, the child lived in a fairy tale, why let him fall from the clouds.

So he also gave up talking to Fu Yu—actually, it could only be regarded as talking to himself. He was talking, and it was a question of whether the other party was listening—they treated each other as air, and let time run in edges and corners.

This state continued until the next pilgrimage.

Fu Lianyu finally found a chance to have a word or two with Fu Yu. He looked at the boy's indifferent and empty eyes, and shaved his hair hanging from his temples behind his ears: "I still want to be the same as before." Locks you up like that, but I put some cushions on it a while ago to make it easier for you."

Fu Yu reacted a bit, looked at his wrist, Fu Lianyu followed his line of sight, the black shackles were so deep on his snow-white skin that it was dazzling, and the long-term restraint left deep scars on his wrists and ankles. Shallow marks.

Fu Lianyu remembered that the child once told him that in summer, because the locks were too tight and the weather was hot, a prickly heat rash would grow on his arms, and the itching was unbearable, but because of the shackles, he always only Can maintain a posture motionless.

And he knew that the believers kneeling in front of him might have their knees dripping with blood, their foreheads might be bloody, and part of their insides might be corroding little by little because they hadn't been repaired in time, but they used black The robe was covered, pretending nothing happened.

Compared with those people, his discomfort is insignificant.

He talked about these things with a smile, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. He sat on a tall tree, stepped on the trunk with his bare feet, and whistled loudly on the leaves.When Fu Lianyu thought of it at this time, there was a feeling of nostalgia in it.

He thought, why people can't understand the thoughts in other people's minds with the development of technology. If he can understand what is going on in Fu Yu's little head, maybe he can make some effective remedies.

After locking the lock, Fu Lianyu stood up, but the copper bell hadn't rang yet, and he couldn't move: "Fu Yu, don't do anything out of line, do you understand?"

He doesn't know how many fantasies Fu Yu still has about the outside world, but at least he can't let children take risks again, and adults won't let him go again and again. It's hard to get overwhelmed.

But Fu Yu still ignored him, he stared straight ahead, as if he could see the believers kneeling below through his body, through the curtain.

Just as Fu Lianyu turned around, the voice of the person behind him came out for the first time in so many days, hoarse as if his vocal cords had been cut open: "Fu Lianyu, tell me, what do I exist for?"

The crisp copper bell rang slowly, and the curtain was gradually opened. Fu Lianyu turned his head, saw Fu Yu looking at him, and finally there was some taste of the past in his eyes: "Too many, wait until night, I will tell you one by one. listen."

The wooden high platform separated them like a day and a day. He watched the people who came to worship scramble up, while Fu Yu sat there motionless, his expression didn't loosen.

Just like they first met.

Fu Lianyu was thinking of something to say to make Fu Yu happier. He couldn't help but feel a little funny when he thought of this. Not long ago, he was still trying to escape from human life, hoping to go to a place where he would not be disturbed by anyone. Now, every day, he has to rack his brains to find out what weird ideas are in the little guy's little head.

—Maybe he can talk to the little guy about the "hive", the place that is in charge of human reproduction.

The soft and yellowed ground seemed to appear under his feet again. Hexagonal grids were everywhere. The nutrient solution smelled so strong that there were all kinds of mature embryos floating in it.

When Fu Lianyu saw it for the first time, he almost couldn't spit it out. Human cubs are so weird when they are not formed, and they have no sense of beauty at all. Fortunately, the next area is the infant area, where all kinds of children Locked in their own area, with the help of machines, they learn to walk, talk, play, and then be classified, and the "host" decides whether they should be gods of war or messengers.

Younger children are crawling all over the ground, and older ones will learn to form gangs. Only here can we see the human instinct to live in groups without any interference. When children try to protect themselves, they will take the initiative to fight with others. Make friends, this relationship can even help them cooperate with each other in battle and win.

In the deepest part of the "hive", there are some small black grids wrapped up.

"here it is……"

"The confinement room."

The person who walked in front no longer introduced in detail as before, but skipped the description lightly and took him in another direction.

Fu Lianyu didn't follow him, and approached the confinement room, but unexpectedly saw a protruding eye in the corner of the bottom.

That eye had obviously seen him too, and was still pretending to be part of the box, without blinking, but most of the people locked inside were people, and people couldn't insist on not blinking all the time, so Fu Lianyu looked at that eye with a wide Turned red, and blinked away.

Then a small mouth was replaced in the small hole, the mouth was pouted, and the index finger was erected in front of the lips, making a silent gesture towards him.

The fingernail on that index finger was turned up, and the dried blood had solidified into black. It was not difficult to imagine what the other fingers looked like, but the corners of the lips behind the fingers were slightly raised, showing a flamboyant arrogance.

With his thoughts returning, Fu Lianyu looked towards Fu Yu.

——It can’t be such a coincidence, the two of them have met before, right?

Before thinking about this question, he realized that something was wrong with the person on the stage. The person was not communicating with the messenger, but was sitting motionless, and Fu Yu just looked at him quietly.

"Ah—" There was a piercing scream, and the person on the stage suddenly choked his own throat, leaned back, opened his mouth wide, but couldn't utter anything, and a wisp of blue came out of his chest. Smoke burst out of the flames.

"Spontaneous combustion, someone spontaneous combustion!"

Following the exclamation of the crowd in front, waves passed by waves, and the crowd on the whole mountain moved. This time the commotion was more violent than the last time. Once again, the nightmare of human beings happened so vividly before their eyes. Everyone panicked. And fleeing is also afraid of contact with people around him, for fear that the other party is also carrying the virus.

The curtain was pulled down, and people took whatever props they could touch to make way for themselves, and the whole mountain seemed to shake slightly because of the uneasiness.

Fu Lianyu didn't care about this, Fu Yu couldn't move, the long hair of the robe touched the ground, the flames had already shot out from the end, the heat spread up, burning the shackles red, and his flesh was scalded with scars, but the child seemed like As if he couldn't feel it, his eyes were glued to the burning man, watching him burn more and more fiercely, rolling around on the entire altar, and there was a big circle in front of the altar where pilgrims flocked, standing The person at the front looked terrified and backed away step by step.

"That's what you told me..."

"We don't have time to talk about this right now, Fu Yu!"

Fu Yu's long hair was curled up by the fire, and it was no longer as smooth as before. He took a look, took off the hairpin on his head, stuck it to shoulder length, and slid it neatly.

Three thousand blue hairs scattered with the wind, and the boy with short hair stood in the wind in a heroic manner.

"Fu Lianyu, you said you would take me away, does it still count?"

"Do you still want to go?"

Fu Lianyu pointed behind him, "I told you what the world is like, do you still want to leave?"

"Why don't you want to?"

Fu Yu jumped down from his seat, pulled his heavy coat, grabbed Fu Lianyu's hand, and rushed into the crowd.

Fu Lianyu pulled him back into his arms, blocking the collisions from everywhere, and protected the child in his arms: "I thought you were disappointed in this world."

"Disappointed? Why should I be disappointed?" Fu Yu looked up at him with bright eyes, "I will only be disappointed if I stay here. Every day, every minute, every second I sat on that high platform I was thinking, why do I exist, obviously I don’t have any abilities, I am not a messenger at all, I don’t have the ability to talk to the gods, and I can’t fulfill their wishes, I’m just me, an ordinary human being.”

"Then you these few days..."

"Boom—" With a loud noise, a corner of the temple began to collapse, followed by a series of explosions, and in an instant, only ruins remained of a temple.

The young man laughed wildly, Fu Lianyu covered his mouth and nose to prevent the soot from being sucked in: "You did it?"

"That's right. People used to call him a soil bomb. I buried it a long time ago. Ahem, it stinks."

"That man, how did you let him ignite spontaneously?"

"Oh, that's a robot. The robot has an obstacle in processing emotions. After being overloaded, it will develop a high temperature and spontaneously ignite."

"It's all planned by you?"

"When I thought about it, I didn't expect it to be so smooth."

Fu Lianyu glanced at Fu Yu with a complicated expression, and sighed: "Little lunatic."

Fu Yu jumped out of the dividing line of the mountain, turned around two times happily, and imitated the mechanical voice and said, "Welcome Fu Yu to the new world."

Fu Lianyu stepped forward, picked him up, and asked, "Do you know what to do after being as successful as we are in the stories of people in the past?"

"Ok?"

Fu Lianyu pushed him down on the rock next to him, the exposed corners of the rock pierced him, and the man's lips and tongue sucked him, as if trying to tear him apart.

With blurred eyes, he saw that Fu Lianyu passed his finger across his lips in satisfaction, and took the other's thumb in his mouth: "Big lunatic."
