Fugue

The long line of ferris wheels rushed forward, and in the blink of an eye, the people who had been in sight suddenly disappeared.Gan Luan got up subconsciously, just as Bian You sat down, the scene was very awkward.Bian You said: "What, you want to go?"

"No." Gan Luan sat back calmly, staring at Bian You seemingly seriously: "It's okay. I knew you would come today." He didn't know what to say, so he looked down at his phone.When Bianyou asked him "what are you looking at", he realized that he was staring at the map of the positioning system in a daze, the little blue dot representing Gan Lan was blinking, and his heartbeat seemed to be slowing down; The heartbeat also slowed down.

Gan Luan thought: I have a lot of questions to ask, and he must have a lot to say.So Gan Luan said:

"I believe you in everything you say, please tell me the truth. I will do my best to help you."

It seems that Bian You's whole body is trapped in deep tiredness: "Thank you, Gan Luan." He said sincerely: "You are still like this."

"how?"

Bian You didn't say any more.He lowered his voice: "First of all, I didn't kill people."

However, Bian You watched Gan Xiao die.It was like witnessing the disappearance of a raging fire, the blazing flame faded to the curling smoke, and the sparks in the dense green smoke flickered like a slow breath. He woke up at that time, and he let the breath become weak to nothing, until it turned into ashes ; He was the witness of Gan Xiao's demise.

Gan Luan's Nie Yuan started acting as a demon—that is, the day he met Gan Lan, that night.After Bian You left the hospital, he went straight to Gan Xiao's Tibetan residence. He said to Gan Luan, "I knew about that place a long time ago. You are clear about this, right." Waste of time on details.Bian You continued: "After I found the document proving Gan Lan's identity, I called you." Gan Luan nodded, "But the call was cut off suddenly."

Bianyou's pale lips parted into a sad smile: "Who hung up, I don't know. I don't know if I was dizzy or fell asleep. Now that I think about it, that memory stopped abruptly, just like a video clip. It seemed like a while. When I woke up again, Gan Xiao was out of breath, lying in front of me. Then I watched him die... To be honest, I might be an accomplice... I recognized Gan Xiao, look Seeing the medicine scattered around him, I realized what was going on, and found that he was dying. At first, I didn't know what to do. I just woke up at that time, my mind was blank, and I was dizzy. But, facing a dying Shouldn't the person who is in love save him, but I thought again, and immediately thought, it would be no good to keep him alive, so I gave up without hesitation. I was deciding a person's life or death, but I did not hesitate. I was Watching him die. Is this equal to...equal to..." He stopped talking, as if saying that conclusion would burn himself.

"So, Gan Xiao may have committed suicide?"

Bian You shook his head: "I don't know. It was cut off... It's like, during that time, I was dead too." As he spoke, his expression became dazed.

You are still the same - but I have changed.Looking at Bian You, Gan Luan suddenly understood why he said he was "still like this" in the first place.

Originally wanted to ask Bian You why he ran away, but Gan Luan temporarily changed the order of his words, "After the incident happened, I went to the scene to investigate. If we are lucky, Bian You, we will have a chance to restore the truth."

Bian You came back to his senses and asked, "What?"

"Gan Xiao's apartment has installed a lot of cameras, but not a single one remains, and the traces of demolition are very new. You don't know, Gan Xiao has no motive, so we preliminarily speculated that it was a third party who did it. It’s late.” Gan Luan added, “Furthermore, after hearing your description, I can almost confirm the existence of a third party.” He thought about his words: “After that, I found out that Gan Xiao was still watching me.” Bian You frowned, and Gan Luan spoke vaguely: "I have found the video record of my surveillance, which was automatically sent to Gan Xiao's notebook through the network on a regular basis, but we haven't found the surveillance record from the apartment. "Although he spoke vaguely, his statement still achieved the purpose: "It is very time-consuming and laborious to remove all the cameras, but the third party did this, and he must have a reason to do it-I think, what happened that night It is very likely that the incident has already been recorded. The third party does not know where the recording is going, so they can only dismantle the camera."

Bian You said: "However, it is also possible that a third party dismantled it before committing the crime, in order not to be photographed."

Gan Luan shook his head: "You think, if he found the camera before committing the crime, then he only needs to dismantle the part that can capture him. But, as if we don't want people to find out that this house used to have a camera, He not only mutilated the body—destroyed everything, but also wiped out the traces—if I hadn’t brought an 'expert' to investigate, I wouldn't have found the camera. You see, the police didn't find it either."

Bian You didn't speak, just thinking.Gan Luan continued: "So please don't give up, we still have hope to prove your innocence, as long as we can find that video."

"Thank you for believing in me, and thank you for what you have done for me." Bian You's pale expression revealed a trace of puzzlement: "But I——have you forgotten..." He stopped talking, as if this matter was just a random talk Said he didn't really care.

Gan Luan didn't understand him: "What do you want to say?"

"No..." Bian You hesitated.

"Bian You." Gan Luan asked, "Why did you run away that night?"

"I've got to give you the papers. It's best that the papers come straight to you, I think so."

"I got the document, it's very useful..." He suddenly felt that this description was too much, "Thank you, you still understand me. But why did you hide from everyone during the following period?"

"I understand... Maybe you don't know about it." Bian You lowered his head, his eyes were dodging, which made Gan Luan feel that Bian You was really tired, so tired that he became thin and dull; It seems that it has been smashed and pieced together again, and it is no longer a mess."Because there's something only I can do," he said.

"what's up?"

There was a commotion from the crowd, Gan Luan turned his head as if feeling something, and saw the ferris wheel in the distance that was supposed to be resting began to rotate.Bian You's voice was close to his ears at this moment: "Take Gan Lan away from your side."

He has yet to respond.Bian You's words were like a crooked filament, hard and cold, twisting and entering into his brain, and he felt a twinge of pain.After that, he lost his balance and lost gravity, as if trapped in a void, time slowed down, the whole world slowed down, and he fell slowly.Unable to open eyes, unable to make a sound, thousands of words "it's too late" came to my mind at that moment, overlapping, overloading, and disappearing.

"Everything is as you wish."

This sentence becomes the end of sobriety.

The color of dusk is dim yellow.Impure yellow, dizzy with a layer of mist, everything in the field of vision has a circle of fine hairs, as if separated by polished glass.There is a sense of distance, and everything has a distance.He is far away from them, although they are close in front of his eyes, close in front of his eyes but unable to touch, extremely familiar but unable to recall, just like the world on the other side of the mirror.

He is chasing him.That back view attracted him, and he couldn't let go.who is he?It's Gan Luan.That's right, Luan who is up and down.He is Gan Luan, and he is the one he is chasing.

A light in the distance blinked, turned on, then drew one or two circles of colored light, spread out and then went out; it bloomed like fireworks, but it was brilliant again and again.

This is... a ferris wheel.

The back figure stopped under the Ferris wheel, the brim of the peaked cap was raised, and the slanted side face showed a little hair, which was light golden and tended to be transparent.That being the case, he also stopped.It seems that as long as you stay in your eyes, look at him, look at the back, and never let go of it, but you must stay vigilant and never go forward.The instinctively perceived danger is trembling, and the anticipation makes people feel fear.

Just as he was hesitating on the spot, his back turned around.Now he is no longer the back, he is... Gan Lan's face.Gan Lan raised her small face towards him...then he is Gan Luan.Gan Luan standing here.

Gan Lan, who was under the Ferris wheel, made a "V" gesture to Gan Luan, leaning her upper body forward, as if someone was taking a group photo with her.Who is it... The person Gan Lan is looking at is not him, he is looking through him, looking at a farther place.Gan Luan also turned his head, he thought there was someone behind him, the person Gan Lan was looking at.Unexpectedly, the moment he looked away, there was a loud noise behind him, and when he turned his head, Gan Lan had already fallen, with a huge iron block pressing him down, and metal debris shone in the air, dazzling and blurring his vision, and the dark plasma Like wild soldiers scattered on their journey, they occupied a vast territory under Gan Lan in a blink of an eye.

"No! I won't allow it!"

This is obviously my dream!

"It's getting late, Mr. Kimball."

It's a dream.Knowing that it was a dream, but struggling because of indulging in regrets, unwilling to wake up.Even if it is a dream, I want to save it.I can't tell if it's because I can't let go of the false image of my eyes being closed, or because I'm afraid of the truth of opening my eyes.

"Mr. Gan."

you can not!I disagree!

Do not sleep!Gan Lan!

Gan Lan!

But his feet seemed to be stuck, it was difficult to move, he tripped and fell forward, this fall suddenly felt like a heavy weight, Gan Luan couldn't lift his head up.Why...why stop!He should catch up and stand with him.What is the reason for this?

Suddenly, he felt a chill behind his back.

"Your coat." When Gan Luan was struggling to wake up, he interrupted from time to time in a cold voice, "Are you awake?"

Open your eyes, the picture is reconstructed, what dusk, Ferris wheel, back view, giant iron block, silver flying catkins, pool of blood, all dizzy, replaced by a little brother dressed as a clerk, standing in front of him, holding a coat in both hands .

The clerk is waiting for Gan Luan.Gan Luan barely supported his stiff upper body, opened his mouth to respond, but couldn't make a sound.A cold wind poured into the trachea, and the coolness penetrated into the chest cavity.

That terrifying dream seemed to cast a curse on him, so that all the people he saw were the faces of Gan Lan, such as this lonely shop assistant brother: except for an extra mole on the bridge of the nose, their faces were almost the same. exactly the same.That mole gave the clerk a little bit of a monster, and it also made Gan Luan sober.The clerk nodded to him with Gan Lan's face, but said in a cold voice: "Mr. Gan, Mr. Bian has something to tell you."

Bian You actually left a message saying that he would bear all the crimes by himself, but he didn't explain the reason. For Gan Luan, this was like waking up to a sudden change.Gan Lanlian, the clerk, said: "He hopes to see you for the last time, under 'Hugh', the old place."

But no.He looked at Gan Lan's face: "Thank you. What's your name." Gan Lan's face froze, and then returned to indifference: "Gao Wei."

Gan Luan got up and walked in the opposite direction of 'Xiu'.Gao Wei's voice followed in a fluttering manner: "Mr. Gan." Gan Luan turned his head, and Gao Wei continued, "Your coat."

Gan Luan said, "That's not mine." He suddenly smiled, the corners of his mouth curled up, and there were red marks on his cheeks from lying on his stomach for a long time.He said to Gao Wei: "My direction is not wrong." He understood the meaning of Gao Wei's sudden voice.He understands. "Bianyou's side... I'll go there later." It's just that before seeing Bianyou, he has to "break the curse".

Along the way, Gan Luan avoided countless tumblers and saw countless faces of Gan Lan.He had to go to break the spell, and he had no choice but to choose this path.This is helpless.If the aftermath of the nightmare is always there, how can he identify Bian You in the crowd?Gan Lan is positioned at the other end of the Ferris wheel "Xiu", which is under the old Ferris wheel "Xi".The strike Ferris wheel turned suddenly when Gan Luan saw Bian You, and it still does until now.Even though it was dark—he actually slept all afternoon.Gan Luan quickened his pace and finally started to run.The phone couldn't be dialed. Looking at the location, the dot was only flickering weakly, without any sign of movement.That dream... He suddenly felt hard to breathe, and the wind on his face grabbed his neck.Gan Lan must be seen immediately.

If he could still see Gan Lan...he couldn't help thinking.He had already thought of this.I haven't gotten the result yet, but I feel hopeless.What exactly happened here.

The old park was unguarded, and Gan Luan entered without much effort.The night is getting darker. Compared with the dark trail, the quietly rotating Ferris wheel in the distant sky looks extremely bright, like a never-ending firework.When he got closer, he saw Gan Lan under the fireworks.He took off his hat, and the blond hair under the colored lights was constantly changing, like water stains that were constantly blooming.Gan Lan was looking up at something, she didn't even notice Gan Luan's approaching.It seems that the gaudy "colorful sedan chair" cockpit is drawing Gan Lan's attention, and Gan Luan is also looking at it together. Looking at it, the exclusive cockpit that belonged to him back then is about to reach its peak.

The time when the disaster happened, and the few seconds before it happened, were like a long water bottle dangling back and forth. Together, in no particular order, regardless of you and me.This is like when people are about to face extremely dangerous situations, they usually have an instant premonition; the premonition is like the return of time.

When the cockpit they were staring at rose to the top, Gan Luan and Gan Lan were still five steps away.The ferris wheel was rotating at a constant speed, and they raised their heads together, one behind the other, Gan Lan's back seemed to be waiting for Gan Luan, waiting for him to come at a leisurely pace.This quiet and beautiful moment was actually an omen, and in the next second, Gan Luan's time flowed back.An invisible weight enveloped his whole body, making Gan Luan tremble uncontrollably. To cross the five steps, it seemed that he had to use up all his strength in his life, but the heavier the steps, the more desperate he became, "Gan Lan—— "Everything became extremely clear, like a slow-moving camera—Gan Lan turned his head, but he had an unbelievable expression on his face. What was he surprised, did he think he would not come to save him—he wanted Gan Lan Lan pulled behind him, but Gan Lan was unwilling, he refused him with confusion—but Gan Luan would not do what he wanted at this time—without any hesitation, when he realized it, Gan Luan had already stretched out his hand and grasped it tightly. Gan Lan's shoulders pulled him behind him - back up, back up again!In time!Must be in time!If there is still time, he admits that choosing this "wrong" direction is not a helpless move——

The inertia was too great, they fell to the ground, turned several times, there was a loud crashing sound behind them, some flying debris flew past their ears, the smell of rust and dust filled their nostrils, Gan Luan felt a hard object cut into him The calf, couldn't help but protect the person under him even tighter.He covered the neck of the person under him with his hands, and his heartbeat gradually synchronized with the pulsation under his fingertips—it caught up with... really... really great.

"Gan Luan?" the person below asked, "Is it really you?"

"Nonsense." Gan Luan's voice was low, mixed with heavy breathing, wrapped around Gan Lan with tiredness: "Who else could it be if it's not me?"

"The Great Demon King." Gan Lan looked at the starry sky: "I thought the Demon King was coming."

Gan Luan was really tired, and his words were very soft: "Don't tell stories at this time." The angle was just right, and he put his noble head, temporarily, reluctantly, into Gan Lan's shoulder socket.It is very warm, with a hint of tea fragrance, which covers the dusty rust smell, and relaxes the nerves.Tonight, for a moment, he was almost sure—

Gan Lan laughed silently, as if she was afraid of disturbing Gan Luan, "He told me to meet your death... I just stood there and didn't dare to move. I once thought that if this day really came, if I We can’t do anything anymore... It’s good for us to die together.” His voice was soft but rhyming, and his tone was gentle, like the curvature of a feather curled up. He said the poem: “How could they not die like this? They Therefore, they will die together." The poems that reside in their hearts together.

After resting, he pulled him up. Gan Lan's movements were rarely slow, as stiff as a puppet. Gan Luan bent down to pat him ashes, and found a black puddle at his feet. He didn't care, and was busy training the cub: " Listen to what you mean, do you still want to die? Your life is in my hands, who would dare to ask you to die? Who is the devil king?” Who cares who the devil king is.To monopolize this little sweet potato in the cold wind——

"I'm not telling a story. The stars came out...the moon? It's still there. Gan Luan, you've come to save me again...so we're all still alive." His hand reached out to Gan Luan's face, and his ring finger stroked slowly Under Gan Luan's right eye, an inverted triangle was outlined, "Or, this is just a new dream I entered."

"Gan—Lan—" The tone of voice dragged on for a long time, and it was as helpless as it could be.

Gan Lan withdrew her hand and shook, "Brother."

"Ah."

"Ok?"

"I said, um." His eyes were filled with the starry sky, the slowly turning Ferris wheel, and Gan Lan's gaze, and he said, "Well, I'm your... interracial... human brother." He was a little displeased She smiled sheepishly: "Do you still dislike human beings?"

——Shouldn’t, can’t, can’t be done.

Gan Lan shook her head: "Except for you."

Well, this landscape tree is time for pruning.He looked back and nodded: "If you are with me, do you want to live a good life?"

——Take it as the only thing to work hard for in your life.

Gan Lan grabbed his sleeve, pulled off the cuff button with a single effort, and her hands were hanging in the air. This situation made Gan Luan feel like laughing, so she smiled, her eyes were very bright, like staring at the stars.So he heard Gan Lan say: "...I think so."

As long as you think about it.

"it is good."

If you want to make a movie, a guy with his temperament will definitely not be able to get a good role.In the stories of gods and demons, he must be a demon who will swallow Gan Lan's soul; in the legend of the blood clan, he must be the one who embraced Gan Lan for the first time; even if they are all human, he must make the best use of everything——

"Then give me the rest of your life."

--anyway.

A loud noise behind him stopped the conversation, and Gan Luan turned around. He lowered his head, and saw the black puddle of unknown object at his feet again. It was shaped like a mouse, curled up, and it would be more appropriate to say it was a dead mouse.The tail of the dead rat was so long that it reached the point where the Ferris wheel's cockpit fell.Yes, just now almost hit Gan Lan's giant, which was the exclusive cockpit of the sedan chair he was riding in back then.At first glance, this matter, this arrangement, seems to ooze with the conspiracy of shameful fate.

The sudden loud noise was due to the collapse of the unsupported cockpit door. Now, the situation in the cockpit can be seen at a glance. There seems to be a figure, or there is no one, because the light is too dim, you have to get closer to see clearly.Gan Luan stopped Gan Lan, and walked forward alone, towards the source of the darkness.When he found that the black at his feet was not black but deep red, he finally saw the person sitting in the cockpit, the person who said he would be waiting for him under the Ferris wheel at the other end——

The figure stayed quietly in the cockpit, with its head lowered, one hand hanging by its side, and the other supporting its head. "Boom." The hand supporting his head suddenly loosened, and he fell down softly, and his lowered head shook accordingly, just like the hallucination that Gan Luan suddenly fell into at the gate of the amusement city in the morning. Saying goodbye to his body, "Gulu Gulu" rolled to his feet, raised his head, and faced him, as if welcoming him.

—Welcome to your paradise...

"... Bianyou?" The question was so light that only breath remained.

It's a pity that this incomplete body can no longer respond to him.

#Next chapter preview:

"So that's how Ye Li came from." He remembered that Ye Li's identity was rather vague, but he didn't expect that Ye Li and Gan Lan were so similar. less than real.
