Blade and Swift

Yan Xichen got up from Du Yachen's body, and he raised a leg to step over him.His body is not very strong, his body is full of marks, and his back has obviously been kneaded.

He threw himself into the soft mattress, and Du Yachen found him from behind, stroked his back, and inserted his hands along his waistline into the gap between his chest and the quilt.You can only see the agitation in his chest.Yan Xichen arched his back, his thin muscles were agitating, and his face was lively.

"Come again? Aren't you tired during the day?" His voice was also a little hoarse.

Du Yachen lowered his head and kissed his ear hidden in his sweaty hair: "Day and night... are different."

Yan Xichen was so tickled by him, turned over and retreated to stop him, stepped on Du Yachen's shoulder and kicked him out: "Okay, I really have no strength."

Du Yachen then carried Yan Xichen to take a bath. The bathroom was full of steam, and the bath water had been put away long ago. It was already a little warm. Du Yachen asked Yan Xichen to sit on the edge of the bathtub, and he added some boiling water.

Yan Xichen sat on the edge of the bathtub, the insteps of his feet soaked in the water slowly turned red, he gently stroked the water: "You talked to Lao Jiang the other day about Cain. There are also other guards in the watch world. People, have you expressed your opinion too?"

Du Yachen held his feet and probed behind the water tank: "Is it hot?"

Yan Xichen shook his head, Du Yachen turned off the water, let him go in and lie down, and sat sideways by the bathtub.

"There's something wrong with Cain, and he can't stand scrutiny. Rosen can see it. Have you thought about it yourself?" Du Yachen dipped into the water, his eyes dimmed, and his fingers rubbed the pale pink scar on Yan Xichen's chest, "Rose What happened, and you saw it with your own eyes at the Basilica Theater, Cain does have some kind of power, he can dominate the world."

The steaming geothermal water made Yan Xichen feel relaxed and satisfied. He moved his body to avoid Du Yachen's fingers.

Yan Xichen understood what Du Yachen was hiding behind.A space cannot be dominated by two wills.He can dominate, so can Fang Shuo, who is the real will of this space?Yan Xichen didn't know, but Du Yachen thought he was, but they couldn't verify Fang Shuo.Fang Shuo's entire relationship with this world is Yan Xichen.

Ever since the Basilica Theater, many things about Fang Shuo have been very weird. If you think about each of them carefully, there are contradictions in them.

"I want to talk to you about this, but not now. I wanted to tell you later. This time, Lao Jiang was impatient and found you before I did." Du Yachen slapped water on Yan Xichen's face. Touched it, "Don't feel pressured, leave it to me."

Yan Xichen shook his head, and pressed his wet cheek against Du Yachen's: "The sooner it is resolved, the sooner the truth can be found, the better. On the day I was injured, I saw my own shadow in the pool of blood, and it turned out to be Fang Shuo's face. I don't know if it's real or my hallucination, so I haven't said it."

After soaking in the bath for a while, Yan Xichen stood up from the bathtub and began to beat soap locusts.Du Yachen patted him on the waist, turned him around, took the saponin from his hand and beat him: "So?"

"I will go to the watch world tomorrow. We have already recalled all the memories about Fang Shuo, including myself. If there is anything that has been missed in the subconscious, then going to the watch world to find the answer is the best choice. "

"You want to go by yourself?" Du Yachen laughed, and the saponins slowly circled on his buttocks.

"Your battlefield is here."

"No, I am the knife in your hand. My battlefield will be by your side."

Yan Xichen turned around and looked at Du Yachen for a while: "Lao Jiang won't agree."

"I'll worry about that."

He couldn't talk to Du Yachen.At least it's not to the liking of Yan Xichen.He woke up early the next day, and originally wanted to stay one more day to find a way to persuade Du Yachen, but suddenly received news that Duan Mingyi had an accident in District O.He came to look for Du Yachen this time, and he was in District O himself. After hearing the news, he rushed there impatiently.

Duan Mingyi's injuries were not fatal, but they were definitely serious injuries. There were three penetrating wounds, and two bullets were still inside his body.When the operation was over, Yan Xichen had already been waiting outside the door for four hours.Du Yachen was still busy, Luo Sen assisted, and also cared about Rose's situation, not to mention watching people, only Mr. Yu could take care of Duan Mingyi.

Duan Mingyi woke up in the middle of the night, while Yan Xichen was lying on the bed and fell asleep.It will take another two days for Mr. Yu to come. During this time, Duan Mingyi cannot be alone. Yan Xichen has been by Duan Mingyi's bedside since he came out of the operating room.

In the darkness, Duan Mingyi was silent for a while, probably because he didn't expect someone to accompany him when he woke up at this time.He raised his hand and put it on Yan Xichen's shoulder with great difficulty.

His body is still weak, but his consciousness is clear enough.He recognized that it was Yan Xichen, and when Yan Xichen woke up, he blinked slowly at him.

"How do you feel?" After a while, Yan Xichen re-entered the room, boiled hot water for him, and brought him some liquid food.

Duan Mingyi could only nod and shake his head, make some simple gestures, but was still speechless.Yan Xichen took care of him meticulously, but he could see from Duan Mingyi's eyes that he wanted to say a lot, and he could do thousands of things at once.

Duan Yun was gone, leaving Duan Mingyi alone.He himself has an unapproachable personality. After Duan Yun left, it seems that he has maintained a sense of alienation from others.Counting as being able to stay by his side and get close to him, Yan Xichen was the only one.

In the early morning, Yan Xichen fell into a drowsy sleep, subconsciously looked at Duan Mingyi's situation, but when he looked up, Duan Mingyi was gone.

Yan Xichen was stunned, then woke up immediately, and ran out of the room to look for someone.Due to Duan Mingyi's physical condition, he couldn't get out of bed yet.

He ran out of the gate and saw Duan Mingyi standing in the middle of the road intact, it seemed that he had only come out not long ago.The expression on his face was confused, frightened and unbelievable.

Yan Xichen was stunned.

Suddenly, he saw a gun protruding from a shop window not far from Duan Mingyi!

The black muzzle of the gun seemed to announce a death.

"Ming Yi! Get down!" Yan Xichen yelled, his voice sounded almost torn, echoing on the street for a long time.

The body was the first to move, and Yan Xichen's blood rushed to the top of his head. He almost had no time to think, and rushed out immediately!

Duan Mingyi didn't react until he heard the gunshot, but it was too late, everything happened in an instant——Yan Xichen's speed reached the limit, and a thousand voices in his chest yelled no.He did so, and his body's reaction was subconscious.He reaches out to...

The air instantly became viscous, the bullet slowed down, and even ballistic traces could be seen.This scene was astonishingly familiar, it happened to Fang Shuo when he was at the Basilica Theater.

The bullet seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall, stagnated in the air for half a second, and then rebounded violently as if it had bottomed out!

The window glass shattered, and the black shadow hidden inside fell down in response.

A series of chain reactions were completed in an instant, so short that Duan Mingyi had just finished his defensive posture, and Yan Xichen had just rushed in front of Yan Xichen, before the inertia had time to recover.The dust settled.

Yan Xichen looked at his fingertips in astonishment, and he immediately realized that the strangeness in front of him was definitely not because of Cain's presence, but because of himself.

He had seen the will of space before in Du Yachen's outer world, but he had never understood what the power of will meant. After returning to the inner world, it had never had any influence on him until just now.He couldn't explain the emotion that erupted in him instantly, it was the desire to survive that was replaced by Duan Mingyi.

"Can you tell me what's going on here?"

Yan Xichen turned around, and Duan Mingyi stared at him intently. He looked healthy and well, not a seriously injured person at all.

Duan Mingyi's next move answered Yan Xichen's doubts.He walked towards Yan Xichen barefoot, stretched out his hand to untie the opening of his hospital gown, opened the two flaps, and then untied the bandages on his body.

There are no horrific wounds, only flesh-pink old scars. This is a complete body, not a seriously injured patient at all.

At dawn, the two stood at the entrance of a narrow alley, and the light of the newborn sun stretched their shadows very long.Yan Xichen leaned in front, the shadow under his feet extended to Duan Mingyi's feet.

At Duan Mingyi's feet, there were seven or eight cigarette butts.

Yan Xichen folded his arms silently, bent one leg, and stepped on the wall.When another cigarette butt fell, Yan Xichen couldn't help it: "Stop smoking."

Duan Mingyi glanced at him over there, and the cigarette in his hand was still lit: "Why don't you provide a better way to calm me down?"

Yan Xichen was at a loss for words, and said for a long time, "You can sleep, take a bath, and wake up."

"I'm sober now, otherwise you might be beaten by me on the ground now."

Duan Mingyi chatted to death again, Yan Xichen had nothing to say, his legs were a little tired from standing.Just as he was about to shift his focus to the other leg, Duan Mingyi took a deep breath: "So, when did you and Du Yachen know about it, and how many of the watchmen knew about it? You have the ability to manipulate space, this news If the truth is spread, the whole world can fuck it."

He couldn't tell when he felt something was wrong, until all the wounds on his body healed, and Yan Xichen lay beside him. If Duan Mingyi was just surprised, then the unbelievable scene in front of him obviously broke all of Duan Mingyi's lucky guesses.Yan Xichen does have the same ability to manipulate space as Cain.

If it was before, Duan Mingyi would stand against Yan Xichen without hesitation, but after experiencing so many things, he knew that Yan Xichen would not be as simple as Cain's person.

Maybe things are more complicated than he imagined.

The real willer of space... Duan Mingyi's scalp tingles when he thinks of this.

Yan Xichen lowered his eyes: "We talked to Lao Jiang as soon as we came back. As for whether Lao Jiang told the other watchmen, I don't know. Du Yachen didn't tell Luo Sen, but Luo Sen and Rosen have something in mind."

Duan Mingyi irritatedly dimmed the cigarette he was smoking on the wall: "When did Lao Jiang come to talk to you about returning to the external world? Are there other things you are hiding from me?"

Yan Xichen didn't like Duan Mingyi's use of the word conceal, but he understood Duan Mingyi's mood: "In two days?"

"tomorrow."

"Boss is going with you?" Now he changed his name to boss, and Yan Xichen knew that his anger had subsided a little.

Seeing Yan Xichen's reaction, Duan Mingyi only knew the answer: "Tomorrow, I will go with you."

The next morning, Yan Xichen stood in front of the second-hand bookstore on No. [-] Street, full of emotion.The first time he came to the inner world was through this door, and the past worlds since then have no fate with him.Then he turned his head and looked at the three people behind him, feeling complicated.

This time back to the world, Yan Xichen meant to go back alone.After all, there are too many secrets hidden in a person's watch world, which is the most intuitive inner world.

He looked at Duan Mingyi, who had 'don't talk nonsense' written all over his face, and then looked at Du Yachen, who also looked at him with a smile.Yan Xichen couldn't say anything to persuade him to go back.As for Rosen, he was fully armed and solemn as if he could rush in and kill Cain as long as Du Yachen gave an order.

Yan Xichen turned around and put his hand on the glass door of the second-hand bookstore.

Du Yachen stepped forward to stand side by side with him, looking at him with dark brown eyes.

Yan Xichen pushed open the door forcefully.

My vision is blurred, familiar taste, fried eggs... and rice porridge?

Yan Xichen opened his eyes, the light strips cut by the blinds spread on his cheeks, and there was a familiar smell in the air.Through the door, the muffled sound of the morning news could be heard.

Too familiar, too long-lost, all the cells in the body are affected.He sat up abruptly, in front of him was a familiar room, a peaceful morning that he hadn't seen for a long time.Looking down, he was even wearing the pajamas he had on when the accident happened that day.

He jumped out of bed and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Yan Jing who was about to knock on the door. She was taken aback by his sudden opening, and stared at him with round eyes. The crystal strawberry hairpin on her head shone brightly with the morning light.

"Brother? You got up so early today?"

Inside and outside the door, one big and one small, all had astonished faces, and they met each other unexpectedly.Yan Xichen stared blankly at his sister for two seconds, then pinched his face hard, it hurt a lot.

Yan Jing was puzzled, and shouted at her mother, brother is stupid.

Yan Xichen walked out of the bedroom and saw a woman poking her head out of the bathroom, her hair was still wet, and the faint fragrance in the air was the scent of a woman's shampoo he was familiar with.

"What are you doing? You wake up your brother, startled." The woman looked at Yan Xichen, "Get up, breakfast is on the table, your father is going out later, why don't you give him a ride?"

calm.

Yan Xichen said to himself.

Everything in front of me is so familiar that my brain freezes for a moment.He knew that this was his outside world, and he returned to the home before he went to the other world.But it was so real that Yan Xichen couldn't react for a moment. Could it be that the other world in his memory was just his dream?

He raised his hand and touched the scar on his chest.That was a wound he healed in the other world not long ago.

Fake, women are fake, Yan Jing is fake.He tried his best to convince himself that everything in front of him was fake.But all these long-lost falsehoods made him too greedy.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Xichen, go and open the door." The man's voice came from the kitchen where the range hood was ringing, and it sounded a little far away, "It's so early, who is it?"

Yan Xichen walked to the door with his slippers on, feeling a little dazed. He opened the door without looking.

Du Yachen stood outside the door, seeing Yan Xichen's face, he seemed relieved.

He dragged the surprised Yan Xichen out of the door: "I found the right direction, I almost thought I couldn't find you. Don't listen, don't look, don't be greedy, you know these are not true."
