Sound into the Heart·Grey Hours

10

The turbid mist was like vines growing in the darkness, entangled little by little up the wooden ladder, wrapping around his ankles.When Cai Chengyu realized that he had entered an illusion, Gong Ziqi and Li Xiangzhe were no longer behind him.

Surrounded by deep indigo without impurities, it is more like walking into a void.A soft spot of light in front of him floated up and down, Feidi entered a little closer to him, circled around, and flew forward again.Cai Chengyu raised his foot and took a light step forward, and there was no creaking noise of the wooden ladder when he landed.

It's a fantasy, that's right.Instead, Cai Chengyu felt relieved. Mask taught him many ways to break through the illusion over the years. In fact, all illusions are a net. As long as you find the exit, it is very easy to break it with Cai Chengyu's current Evol.

Then, it is the question of how to find the exit.

Cai Chengyu followed the spot of light and walked forward for an unknown amount of time. Tiredness slowly swept through his consciousness, dragging down his heavy steps.Finally, the spot of light stopped moving forward, but stopped in place, and when Cai Chengyu followed up, the spot of light slowly flew into Cai Chengyu's heart.

The strong sense of sleepiness made him close his heavy eyes, and the indigo void rippled and dissipated circle after circle at the moment he fell.

In the mist, Cai Chengyu was lying in the warm soft quilt, and suddenly a small piece of his side sank, and then the warm breath approached, a kiss fell on his lips, enfolding his lower lip, tenderly lingering.

Cai Chengyu woke up in an instant, and opened his eyes blankly, and this strong embrace used skill to pry open his lips and teeth, and kissed him deeper.

A numb itching rose from the bottom of my heart, and my body under the quilt softened.Tasting the forbidden fruit of Eden for the first time, this feeling is too... indescribable.It seems to be long-awaited, and it seems to be natural.

After the long kiss was over, it was obvious that he had no intention of letting him go.In a daze, I heard a familiar voice, lazily sticking to the earlobe, scratching the bottom of my heart bit by bit: "Are you awake?"

Cai Chengyu's eyes widened instantly.

The person in front of him is Gong Ziqi, and this is his bedroom.He was nestled under the quilt, just woken up by a kiss.

At least in this case, Cai Chengyu couldn't think.It's more like an out-of-body feeling, watching a voice say to him, maybe he should think about something, like this is his first kiss, like it seems like they have some kind of sleep relationship, like he can't help but feel A certain reaction from the bodies of the two people and the sweeter breath between the two.

But another voice said loudly again, Cai Chengyu, wake up, this is an illusion, this is not Gong Ziqi in front of you.

The soul has become a bystander, but Cai Chengyu has completely lost the ability to think.

Gong Ziqi seemed to understand his bewildered reaction as he was still asleep, so he smiled lightly, pulled back the quilt and pressed him into his arms.

Cai Chengyu's ears were so red that they were about to bleed.His consciousness completely broke free from his body, and when his chaotic thoughts became more and more complicated, he silently allowed Gong Ziqi to continue.

The darkest bedroom is entwined with the deepest love, and rightfully so.The mysterious and seductive feeling gently brushed the reason aside, and the thought of looking for the exit of the illusion disappeared quietly in the intertwined breath.

Gong Ziqi was awakened by the sunlight.He watched Cai Chengyu disappear under the wooden ladder, and only had time to remind Li Xiangzhe to be careful.

His body seemed to be stained with the turbidity of the world and became heavier. The indigo sky did not leave any more information for him. When he woke up again, his mind was still groggy, but the bright sunlight shone in front of his eyes.

He wanted to raise his hand to block the sunlight, but suddenly found that there was a person sleeping with his head buried in his arms.The sound of calm breathing fell on his chest, his hair was a little frizzy, and his neck was a little itchy.And his own hand was originally around his waist, and he could touch the thin bones on his back.

Gong Ziqi froze.Of course he saw Cai Chengyu sleeping in his arms, and the loose neckline of his pajamas, the traces of ambiguity dotted on the white chest, and there was still the smell of being together in the air.

The person in his arms was like a sleeping beast, moving restlessly and leaning into his arms.He didn't know if the word Fuzhixin could be used to describe his current state of mind, but Gong Ziqi hugged him tightly.Smelling the scent on him made me feel a little relieved.

Li Xiangzhe stopped time at the fastest speed when the two of them disappeared one after another.The mist just stopped in front of him without further movement.

"This……"

Li Xiangzhe avoided the fog and walked forward step by step.The further you go underground, the colder the air gets.The fog became heavier, and at the same time, the smell of blood gradually rose.Finally reached the end of the wooden ladder, the moment Li Xiangzhe stepped on the patterned floor tiles, the darkness seemed to brighten a little.

Then Li Xiangzhe saw the most spectacular scene in his life.

On the pure black double door is a round dial with only a second hand, which is spinning endlessly.But the hour and minute hands always stay together and stop at the middle of twelve o'clock.

The time here is not under Li Xiangzhe's control.But in a sense, time stands still here.

"Da da da……"

Li Xiangzhe stepped forward and reached out to touch the second hand.

After this touch, the dial slowly disappeared before his eyes like a phantom.The door opened slowly.

Behind the door is a river.Li Xiangzhe approached, and saw that what was gone and never returned was time, which was going away in a mighty way, and he could only let it go by.

Li Xiangzhe stared at the rushing time, and slowly he finally discovered the clues. It seemed that the same scene appeared in all the timelines: the explosion in the chemical plant three years ago.After that explosion, Desire was never seen again.

Li Xiangzhe stretched out his hand to block it, and firmly grasped the time point three years ago. Surprisingly, he held that time point in his hand.

In this timeline, Gong Ziqi did not die, and the whole team got merit after healed their injuries, and then spent the rest of their lives in peace and stability.

Li Xiangzhe let go of his hand, and time passed.

He does the same, grabbing different timelines, they always have different stories.

"So, what do you choose?"

A strange voice suddenly sounded, Li Xiangzhe was so frightened that he almost fell into the stream of time.He subconsciously pulled out his pistol, but suddenly found that he couldn't find the source of the sound.

"You can't kill me. Because I'm already dead." The voice came from all directions, quite helplessly: "I am Desire."

Li Xiangzhe looked around cautiously, Desire sneered: "I have no reason to lie to you, as you can see, all the timelines happened after my death. Stranger's Gate is my end."

Li Xiangzhe finally realized that the explosion three years ago was set at twelve midnight.

"Time Controller, you are very powerful, you didn't enter the illusion." Desire joked with great interest: "But your two companions may not think so, well, they seem to be... very happy in the illusion, The ultimate joy." After speaking, he laughed twice.

Li Xiangzhe said coldly, "What are you going to do?"

"I can't do anything, and I don't have the ability to set up illusions." Desire's tone was very innocent, but he smiled triumphantly: "I just made slight adjustments to make the life of illusions their greatest desire. Ah, desire, what a beautiful thing, don't you think?"

Li Xiangzhe squeezed the trigger: "I'm not interested in talking nonsense with you."

"Well, I'll be gone soon." Desire smiled and said, "My new partner will become the next Desire, and he has the most powerful ability, none of you can stop it."

Li Xiangzhe heard more and more vaguely, but Desire's voice gradually faded away.The flow of time is still moving, Li Xiangzhe was contemplating, and suddenly a thin thought moved in his mind.

"Life in an illusion..."

The life in the illusion also has a timeline.

Li Xiangzhe stood up and looked at the flow of time, and raised his hand.

"Ziqi, come out of the illusion!!!"

Gong Ziqi suddenly heard this call from the bottom of his heart.He sat up suddenly, waking Cai Chengyu beside him.

"Why so early?" The voice was soft, and her hands were dazedly grabbing his arm.

Gong Ziqi stared blankly at the dazed Cai Chengyu, his eyes gradually cleared up.

This is of course an illusion.

"You are not Cai Chengyu..."

Cai Chengyu leaned closer: "You didn't wake up, you..."

Gong Ziqi pushed him away violently.Cai Chengyu opened his eyes at the same time, and a pair of golden eyes looked at him with a half-smile: "Isn't this bad? Don't you just want life to be like this?"

"Let go." Gong Ziqi pulled out his hand and looked at him, the sunlight outside the window gradually faded, and the rainstorm was about to come.

"Isn't that what you long for in your heart?" Cai Chengyu looked at him without blinking his golden eyes, Gong Ziqi gritted his back teeth, and stepped back step by step.

"Why are you so hypocritical and dare not face the desire in your heart? Huh?" Cai Chengyu approached: "From the first moment we met, you have already hidden him in your heart, and you still say no?"

"That's... because of your absolute attraction, because of Evol..."

Cai Chengyu tilted his head: "If you can convince your heart with this kind of rhetoric, I can't help it."

Gong Ziqi was silent, he couldn't persuade.

Cai Chengyu approached again, the two of them were close to each other, breathing slowly, he said in a low voice, "Don't say anything else, do you want to spend the rest of your life with me?"

That voice was too confusing.

"I think."

"But with the real Cai Chengyu, not with you in the illusion."

A powerful deterrent force suddenly fell on Cai Chengyu, Gong Ziqi endured the pain in his heart, and strangled his neck.

The surroundings gradually twisted, and the sharp screams were about to pierce the eardrums, but Gong Ziqi still didn't let go.A moment later a strong thrust pushed him out.

He knelt heavily on the stone brick floor, and the damp cold wind blew over his burned cheeks.

"Ziqi!!" Li Xiangzhe turned his head and saw Gong Ziqi coming through the void, and hurried forward.

It took Gong Ziqi a while to come back to his senses, his hands were still trembling.

"How are you?" Li Xiangzhe clasped his trembling wrist.

Gong Ziqi felt a bit fishy and sweet in his throat.He only asked, "Where's Cai Chengyu?"

"I don't know." Li Xiangzhe turned his head to look for it: "It should... still be in the illusion."

As soon as the words fell, there was a huge cracking sound from the front, and then a figure fell out, groaning muffled.

"Cai Chengyu!" Gong Ziqi stood up while holding his knees and went forward.

"Don't come here!!!" Cai Chengyu almost yelled.Gong Ziqi stood there in shock, watching him from afar.

With his back to them, Cai Chengyu knelt for a moment before slowly standing up.

The black robe blocked his body, and his expression was unpredictable under the hood.It's just that the voice is still a little trembling: "I'm sorry, I... I was...sorry..."

Gong Ziqi felt worried when he heard the voice: "Are you okay?"

"I...it's okay." Cai Chengyu stumbled, sniffed and forced himself to sound okay: "Let's go, Stranger would be happy to see us... the remnants of the defeated army." He lightly took the black robe and took the lead Go out along the flow of time.

Wang Xi saw the birth of Stranger with his own eyes.

Even with only a little bit of vision and consciousness left, he still tried hard to see Commander Liao's every move clearly.

Over the past year, all the Evols he collected were injected into himself, including Wang Xi's consciousness control.In a way, as he was laughing now, he seemed invincible.

Desire shapes Stranger, and the realization of desire depends on the bloody darkness.

Footsteps came soon, Wang Xi wanted to turn around but couldn't move.

Commander Liao turned around slowly: "It's pretty fast."

It wasn't until the three of them walked into the Altar of Desire that Wang Xi saw their figures clearly.Li Xiangzhe and Gong Ziqi looked at Commander Liao cautiously, but the man in black robe standing in front of them... clearly belonged to C&C...

"Gold, it can be seen that you are a smart boy, I am very optimistic about you." Commander Liao did not hide his appreciation at all.

It's a pity that to the chief executive of C&C, such words are not even as true as the flattery of ordinary waiters.

"You have become a Stranger." Cai Chengyu said calmly, "I think you must know what it means to be a Stranger."

"What does it mean?" Commander Liao seemed to be thinking carefully: "It means that I will be enemies with C&C? Oh, haven't we been enemies a long time ago?"

"You are violating the Basic Law. Forcing an ordinary person to turn Evol into a Stranger will cause irreparable consequences."

"Is there a difference?" Commander Liao suddenly sneered: "Otherwise, wait for your C&C's Pure plan to start, purify ordinary people all over the world and make them disappear, so as to build a world exclusive to Evolver?" Commander Liao smiled His voice became even more rustling: "Gold, think about it clearly. I turn ordinary people into Evolvers to save people, but your Belief is to kill people."

"The way you save people is to kill Evolvers and take their Evols? Don't give yourself a high-sounding reason. You became a Stranger just to satisfy the desire in your heart." Cai Chengyu said coldly: "Let everyone surrender to your desire."

Cai Chengyu flicked his robe lightly, avoiding an electric shock.In the next second, Gong Ziqi and Li Xiangzhe fired at the same time.

Commander Liao waved his hand, and Wang Xi stood in front of him indifferently.

"Captain!" Li Xiangzhe was shocked, but this call attracted the puppet's attention. Wang Xi's eyes were filled with black mist, as sharp as a knife, and he rushed straight at Li Xiangzhe.He couldn't dodge in time, and his arm was severely scratched.

"...under control." Cai Chengyu raised his hand and shouted at Wang Xi: "Captain Wang, trust your consciousness! Zhou Shen is still waiting for you!!!"

The golden light directly approached the black mist in his eyes, and shallow shattered crumbs exploded between the two of them.The entire space vibrated violently, and Wang Xi's eyes gradually became clearer.

"Deeply... in..." He gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words.But Commander Liao behind him only said softly: "Kill them."

Wang Xi's eyes were red and black, and because he was not afraid of death and unconscious, he attacked them like crazy.

Gong Ziqi glanced at Cai Chengyu from a distance, and walked around to approach Commander Liao.

Li Xiangzhe is still struggling against Wang Xi.

"Captain, Captain, can you hear me!" Li Xiangzhe avoided the black mist, not to mention looking directly into his eyes: "Zhou Shen is safe, wake up quickly, he is waiting for you!!"

Gong Ziqi shot suddenly in the dark, directly hitting Commander Liao's heart.

Commander Liao raised his hand and pulled Gong Ziqi in front of him from the air, and grabbed his neck: "It's up to you?"

But in the blink of a second, Wang Xi turned and rushed towards Commander Liao, and directly inserted a silver knife into Commander Liao's heart.

Gong Ziqi turned his head and saw Cai Chengyu kneeling on the ground, and his wrist was bleeding.At the same time, there was a smear of blood on the middle of Wang Xi's forehead.

Commander Liao was stunned for a while, then laughed softly.

"Gold's blood... I actually forgot that there is such a use."

Wang Xi held the silver knife and did not let go, but his expression suddenly froze.

"Forget my mistake." Commander Liao laughed loudly: "But do you guys think so naively that I'm the only Stranger?"

Cai Chengyu was exhausted, but he suddenly raised his head when he heard this. He finally realized what he had misjudged.

"The real Stranger is Wang Xi..."

"Wang Xi don't look into his eyes!!!"

This moment is short of time.

Wang Xi saw a red light flash in Liao Changyong's eyes, and then he completely lost consciousness.

But Cai Chengyu, Gong Ziqi and Li Xiangzhe saw Wang Xi turn around slowly, with black and red wind blades spinning around him.

The real Stranger, awakened.
