Blade and Swift

Soon, the people in the theater were squeezed out like running water, leaving only Yan Xichen in the empty theater.

He reacted belatedly, this time everyone had already left, even Du Yachen left without even looking at him.

Yan Xichen threw away the knife, threw the gun, and untied the bulletproof vest and gun belt on his body... He took off those loads one by one, until all the equipment was unloaded by him, he slowly sat down with his knees hugged On the ground, he turned back to the little boy in his memory.

It's strange, people always become very brave when they are alone, as if they can take on anything, but when they think of someone, they will become children again.

A figure slowly appeared in the darkness, it was Fang Shuo who had disappeared for a long time just now.He was like a silent shadow in the dark, on whom the blood and death of the theater were projected.Probably anyone would be afraid of him, except Yan Xichen.

Fang Shuo silently appeared behind Yan Xichen, walked around him twice playfully, and finally squatted down in front of him, level with him.

Yan Xichen still hugged his knees and buried his head, a buzzing voice came from his arms: "Brother, why?"

"Do you think that if I drive everyone away now, I will be happy?" Fang Shuo laughed viciously, "Yes, that's right, I am very happy. Just now your expression was very exciting. I was sitting in the audience , can't help applauding you."

Yan Xichen didn't speak, he curled himself closer.

"sorry."

"Why?" Fang Shuo tilted his head.

"For everything."

Fang Shuo stretched out his hand to stroke his head. If there was a third person present, seeing the gentleness on his face, he would probably feel shuddering.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm sorry...at that time, I couldn't rush to your side."

Yan Xichen finally raised his head from the crook of his arms, and grinned a smile uglier than crying.Except for him, no one knows the torment and pain in his heart.The consumption of thousands of days and nights, the torment of every minute and every second in the memories, all came back to him again.

Fang Shuo looked at him expressionlessly, as if examining the truth of what he said.

His expression gradually became ferocious and distorted. The anger and hatred that had been suppressed for so long finally poured out on Yan Xichen.

"Do you know how I survived those eighteen days?" He smiled so that his white teeth were exposed, and his eyes stared at Yan Xichen as if they were about to pierce something, "The ulceration of the skin is nothing, anyway, at that time I know, my days are numbered. My little swallow is always the fastest one, I think I can wait for him to fly to me no matter what. Just one look, even if he takes one last look at me before I leave , I don’t care about anything.”

"My skin began to fester on the third day, and on the fifth day my skin began to peel off. I was like a piece of moldy and rotten cheese. At that time, I was terrified. I thought, the little swallow loves beauty so much, but I am so ugly now, so Oops, will he dislike me? Why hasn't he come? I think it's delayed by something on the way. I wish I could see you before the skin festers, so that I can die in peace right away. The me in your impression will always be It's beautiful."

Yan Xichen's eyes were filled with tears, and he opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He tightly grasped the front of his chest, as if the pain was unbearable.

He thought of Fang Shuo many years ago, who blocked bullets and was knifed for him, and was even punished by the leader of Hawkeye. He just gritted his teeth and said he didn't care. The minister will blame himself.

Injury and time can really change a person, Yan Xichen never thought that one day Fang Shuo would be willing to be so cruel to him.

Seeing Yan Xichen's painful expression, Fang Shuo seemed to become very excited. He got closer to Yan Xichen, as if enjoying his pain very much.

"But I couldn't wait for my little swallow. He is in Somalia far away, and he is with the little lover who is pursuing him."

Yan Xichen covered his ears: "No, it's not like this..."

"On the seventh day, I started to cough up blood, and what I coughed up was my own internal organs."

"Pharmaceuticals are useless to me, but I still want to persevere. I will persevere until I see you for the last time. I still have a lot to say to you."

"No. 12 days, I couldn't hold on anymore. People in the same period began to die one after another. Some of them were still alive, and under the arrangement of Hawkeye, they began to take the euthanasia they got."

"I was the only one who rejected Hawkeye's offer, and they were all surprised. They told me that I had a few days left to live, that is, these two days, and the Da Luo Immortal would not be able to save me. They asked me to accept them I refused, and they asked me why. At that time, my eyes were rotten, my tongue was rotten, and my esophagus was already rotting, so I could still hear some words. They So I asked me if I was waiting for someone, and I nodded. Someone cried and asked me if I was waiting for you, and I nodded again. Then they told me that you would not come, and asked me not to wait any longer."

Yan Xichen opened his mouth wide, raised his head, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Stop talking." His lips trembled, his face collapsed, "Please."

He stood up abruptly, admiring Yan Xichen's collapsed face from top to bottom, his eyes glowed with excitement.

"But what they said is not all accurate. I insist on living because I am eager to tell myself at the last moment of my life that I am alive not because no one loves me. Those who died, all, even if they wrote very Painful, but there are relatives, friends, or wives by my side."

"I said to myself, it doesn't matter, I can wait until you. It doesn't matter if the skin is rotten. But in the end, my heart will also rot."

"My heart is broken! Little Swallow, but I still haven't seen you."

"I died alone in that smelly ward. It is said that people who are about to die say good things. I am also thinking, my heart is really not bad in my life. At least I have never failed you, never .”

"But you didn't come. I ended up dead as a pile of garbage. They packed me in a huge radiation bag, then put it in a glass bag, and put it in a coffin. They buried me hundreds of feet underground like garbage, and later In the other world, Du Yachen blew up my bones like he blew up trash."

"Enough!" Yan Xichen stood up abruptly, "Stop talking!"

He picked up the gun, pointed it at himself, and handed the other side to Fang Shuo: "You gave me my life. If you hadn't been a bullet for me, I would have died long ago! You hate me, you Kill me now."

His gaze is the hole left by the great pain, just like Kiev after the nuclear leak that year, which became a ruin, without a blade of grass.

"I saved your life, so how can I take it back?" Fang Shuo smiled suddenly, like a spring breeze, he looked at Yan Xichen with the softest eyes, and reached out to touch his face, "I know why they are in the Basilica Did you find nothing in the Grand Theater? Do you know what is distorting everything here?"

Yan Xichen rolled his eyes and mechanically looked at Fang Shuo.

Fang Shuo smiled maliciously, and he circled around Yan Xichen again, with exaggerated movements and tone as if he was actually performing on stage: "It's your memory!"

"You can't remember it anymore, you buried your own memories yourself, and I hid them in this place again. So they can't find any secrets, and when you see me, you will be returned all my memories! Everyone, everyone will never find your god-killing rib!"

"What do you want?" Yan Xichen lowered his head.

"I want you to live, live well, and be with me!" Fang Shuo's pupils suddenly dilated, and he looked at Yan Xichen almost excitedly, "Don't you want to make it up to me? Don't you feel guilty? Stay in the watch world forever Come with me, okay?"

Yan Xichen looked at him blankly for a while, then moved his lips.His 'good' was almost on his lips, but he couldn't say it.

He thought of many people, Duan Mingyi who had a bad temper, Duan Yun who made cakes, Rose and Lawson, and Du Yachen who looked at him with love in his eyes.

If you say yes, you always feel that something is really irreversible.Will they disappear, will they die, or will they be trapped here forever with a never-ending hatred for him?

"A lot of people are still trapped in this space."

"Some of them just want to go out, and many don't, don't they?" Fang Shuo asked back.

Yan Xichen was speechless, a disgusting smell of blood rose from his throat, which made him feel disgusted.

Fang Shuo grabbed Yan Xichen's shoulders, almost forcing him to face him: "Have you forgotten what I did to you before? I am the only one, even if the whole world wants to kill you, I will still People who stand in your way. Look at you now, do you think it’s okay to throw away everything about me and hide yourself? I tell you Yan Xichen, you can’t convince me! I will always remember that day, when I died On that day, the day I will be buried underground as garbage!"

Suddenly, there was the sound of being pierced by a sharp wind in the air, which was very short and obvious, interrupting Fang Shuo's shouting in an instant.

The excited and overflowing expression remained on Fang Shuo's face, but the arteries in his neck were accurately pierced by the bullets.

The blood flowed three meters high, and the broken body fell down, and soon merged with the ground of the stage and became smooth.

Yan Xichen came back to his senses, and he looked at the opened door at the end of the theater.

The light is very narrow, and someone stands between that light.

Du Yachen blocked the light, the shadow was very dark, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.He threw the pistol away after firing.

He looked into the dark void and said, "You are not a god, so you don't have to pretend to be a god. You are just an angry and ugly maggot."

Yan Xichen stared at the spot of light closely, as if seeing the real light in the darkness.

He stretched out his hand, and his body involuntarily ran two steps forward, as if he wanted to pursue the light.

But the person in the light didn't approach him, he just stood at the door and didn't intend to approach.Hearing Yan Xichen's voice, he only tilted his head slightly, probably looking at Yan Xichen.

Yan Xichen had countless things to say to him, so he took another two steps forward, but before he could get off the stage, the shadow at the door disappeared when he raised his head again.

This time, only Yanxi was left in the empty theater.

He looked around in a daze, and called Du Yachen's name twice, but there was no answer, only the lingering sound.He turned around again and called Fang Shuo's name twice, but there was no answer.

Where Fang Shuo fell just now, there was not even a corpse.

No one responded to him.

Yan Xichen's knees were numb, and he didn't realize how he slumped on the floor.

He stared into the darkness for a long time, sat in the empty theater until his legs were numb, and no one came back.

Fang Shuo didn't come back, neither did Du Yachen.

If it wasn't for the blood stains still on the ground, he would almost suspect that what he saw just now was a hallucination.

He sat for a long time, until the sun went down, and he felt sleepy, so he fell asleep on the floor of the theater.

In the dream, he saw himself in the real world, including Du Yachen and Fang Shuo, and everything was fine back then.

When the slanting shadow shone in the west, Yan Xichen walked out of the theater, and the lead-colored sky and heavy clouds pressed down from a high place, as if to swallow the earth.

He saw a scene of fiasco, dead people everywhere.

Those corpses and trees, buildings, ground, everything that can be seen merges into everything.

Yan Xichen felt a little nauseous, the world changed in front of him, and when he went to the surrounding buildings, they seemed to be piled up with bones and heads.

He finally knew where the world's continuous energy came from, and why so many people kept falling into the watch world.This world is fed with human flesh and blood, forming an unbreakable siege.

Some people want to go out, some people die here and become nourishment.

Yan Xichen supported the tree beside him and began to retch viciously.

He vomited until he couldn't vomit anything, his face was flushed, his stomach was convulsed, and he still felt nauseous.

My head hurts, my body hurts...everywhere.

The faint smell of cigarettes wafted over, Yan Xichen supported the tree and stood up, raising his eyes.He is not a bit of beautiful now, even his eyes are so depressed.

A figure, leaning against a tree on the other side, is smoking a cigarette very slowly.

"I came here five years ago. When I met her, she was not what she is now." The man was smoking a cigarette, quietly watching the stars appearing in the sky, "She looks like any The girl next door will smile shyly at you and make delicious cheesecake."

Yan Xichen limped up to the man, sat down, and sat in his shadow.

This is a gesture of silent listening.

"Later, a good friend of hers died and was dismembered. The reason was that when they went to represent the jurisdiction of the world forces, they joked about how to seduce Cain and was overheard by a pervert. She was very scared, and in the trash can She hid for a whole night, and when she came out, her friend had disappeared. She searched almost all the alleys, but she couldn't find his friend's body."

"What happened next?" Yan Xichen asked wearily.

"She forgot more and more things, and one day she even forgot her own name." The man took a puff of smoke when he said this, his eyes drifted with the smoke, and his thoughts seemed to drift far away, "But people always need A name, she asked me to choose a name. I said, let’s call it Rose. It’s a beautiful vision to give someone a rose and leave a fragrance in your hand.”

"Later, I don't remember when, she picked up the knife, the gun is also good, and the body is getting better and better." Rosen paused for two seconds, "It's just that she no longer smiles so shyly at anyone. No more cute cheesecakes."

Rosen pointed around with his finger holding a cigarette, and said in a hoarse voice: "This is a terrible and cruel world. You may not know that even when you went to the chaotic area, the boss has been watching you from behind. You may I have really seen many cruel things, but when you don't know, there is always someone standing behind you. You don't know, it's just because someone pampers you."

Rosen quietly finished smoking a cigarette, turned around and left without saying goodbye.

Yan Xichen raised his head and saw a huge sunset floating on the edge of the city, and the earth gave birth from a fiery red circle, as if it had been quietly burning for half a century.
