Blade and Swift

Du Yachen brought Yan Xichen out of the 'home', and Yan Xichen gradually calmed down, reorganized himself, and even felt a little scared.There was a moment in the morning when he actually wondered where the truth was, something he had never worried about before entering the world of watches.Now it seems that he can't take it too lightly.

Duan Mingyi and Luo Sen were not there, Yan Xichen smelled it, and Du Yachen also said he didn't know.

"When I woke up, I was at your milk tea shop, and I ordered a Duoduo."

Yan Xichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and Du Yachen asked again: "Want to go back and have a look?"

"No, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave once I go back, and maybe I'll beg for nothing to ask you to stay with me in the watch world, are you afraid?"

Du Yachen laughed until his shoulders were shaking: "I'm so scared."

Yan Xichen raised his eyebrows.

Du Yachen's eyes darkened, he stared at him and said, "I'm afraid that I would accidentally agree to you with such a heart-warming proposal."

Yan Xichen lowered his head and touched his chest, his heart beat a little fast.

"Duan Mingyi and Luo Sen separated from us again, where can we find them?" Yan Xichen asked.

"It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. It is not recommended to go to them first. Luo Sen and Duan Mingyi were able to find us last time, and they must have their own clues this time. We are going to do business and find someone by the way."

The two of them briefly discussed where to start in the car.The main purpose of coming to the world is to find clues related to Fang Shuo. If it goes well, maybe even find another 'Fang Shuo' in Yan Xichen's memory.

Looking around, the city he lived in was still the familiar environment, so Yan Xichen decided to start with Fang Shuo's 'home' in his memory.

The car turned two or three turns in the alley, and stopped at the gate of a community hidden at the end of the narrow street. The words "Guanghua Community" on the stone sign were old and full of traces of rain.

This place is not much different from Yan Xichen's memory, and nothing has changed.The car was parked at the door, but he sat in the driver's seat for a long time, as if he could still see his young self standing at the door with a schoolbag on his back, waiting for Fang Shuo, and sometimes he would buy a popsicle from a nearby canteen when he was old.In the watch world, the area where Yan Xichen lives is developing rapidly, with high-rise buildings rising from the ground. It is no longer the city he remembered when he was a child.But this place seems to have never changed, it is still the old place in his childhood memory.

Yan Xichen looked at the four characters at the gate of the community with serious eyes, and seemed to have deep feelings for this place.

He found the entrance of the city in Du Aachen's watch world, and then followed the path he remembered to return to the city he was familiar with before becoming a mercenary.Then he followed the roads in the city and found Fang Shuo's address back then.

Yan Xichen looked surprised, but he was no longer as shocked as before.Du Yachen looked at him carefully and knew that he was different from the people who first came to the other world, and after recovering his memory, he was also different from the "Swift" back then.

The two got out of the car and entered the community. Relying on everything Yan Xichen remembered, they found the building and room where Fang Shuo was.

Probably because of the fictional space, the door is not locked, and the decoration is still the decoration of an old Chinese-style home. It seems that Fang Shuo's house has been deserted for a long time.

Yan Xichen wandered around the living room and picked up the photo frame placed above the TV. Inside were Fang Shuo and his mother.

Du Yachen walked behind him, and his eyes stopped on the photo frame in Yan Xichen's hand.

"When I first met him, his parents hadn't divorced yet. His father had a problem with alcoholism. He had no money in the family, and he was angry in his heart. He would do it when he was in a hurry. It was not easy for his mother to live in this family. Later he went to In junior high school, my parents divorced. He didn't tell me about it at first, and I only found out about it later. I know this because I saw him with injuries on his body before. Hurt." Yan Xichen smiled self-deprecatingly, and reached out to touch Fang Shuo in the photo, "I was young at that time, and I didn't know right and wrong. When I grew up, I realized that he had gone to Hawkeye."

Du Yachen didn't say anything, he didn't have much say in Yan Xichen's further past.Sometimes he would envy Fang Shuo, even though he knew that Yan Xichen had different feelings for Fang Shuo, he still envied him, and even envied him standing on Yan Xichen's earlier timeline and knowing about his past that he didn't know.

Yan Xichen put down the photo frame and asked him calmly if he had mentioned his family.Du Yachen said no, so Yan Xichen summed up his family in a few words.He didn't seem to have much desire to talk about it, more like he thought Du Yachen should know and told him.He said that although his parents loved him very much and tried not to let him suffer, but because of poverty when he was a child, he suffered some hardships.Later, my father worked hard outside and became a little rich for a while, but after the economic collapse, the family's conditions were no longer good.After his younger sister Yan Jing was born, his parents always quarreled, and during that time his sister was the only one who made him feel comfortable in the family.Later, her parents divorced, and her mother was diagnosed with tuberculosis. Later, Yan Jing also fell ill.

"You know what happened next." Yan Xichen said, "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. It's probably because childhood was too smooth, and it wasn't until I grew up that I realized the helplessness behind these words."

Yan Xichen glanced at Du Yachen, he didn't want sympathy, comfort or pity, but he really wanted Du Yachen to know for no reason.Unexpectedly, Du Yachen not only did not bring him a sense of oppression, but also glanced at him casually, and said with a smile, it doesn't matter, like me, I don't even have the chance to miss the scriptures, so I am living a good life.

"I said, I will be home in the future, and so will you."

Yan Xichen's heart was ironed at once, he turned his face away pretending to be calm, and secretly smiled.

They wandered around Fang Shuo's room for a while, but they didn't find anything major. Yan Xichen felt that he came here to reminisce about his past.

"No wonder everyone is greedy for the world of watches. I have come back to it now." Yan Xichen commented, "If I can go back in time, I will go to places I have never been or have missed, and even see them and never see them again." People who have been..."

Du Yachen raised his hand and squeezed his mouth: "Your idea is dangerous, little swallow. If you want to go back, go back to the winter of [-], and tell me when you first saw me that your butt is upright, and you also I like it very much."

"Yeah. Back in the winter of [-], it's best to kiss you for the first time when we first meet. If you can't beat it, you'll play tricks, eat tofu, take advantage of it, whatever. We must get rid of you as soon as possible, old rascal. Then we will disarm and return to the field , Put down your guns and wander around the world, change your thick-skinned and dirty habits, and teach you how to make love sooner."

Du Yachen turned around when he heard the words, and raised his eyebrows: "Then I suggest you have sex with me on the spot, and see who can teach who more."

The two left without staying in Fang Shuo's former home for too long. Apart from finding a few photos of Yan Xichen and Fang Shuo together for reference, there was nothing more useful.Du Yachen's explanation for this was that Yan Xichen was indeed very important to the former Fang Shuo, at least the group photo he kept in that family was only with his mother and Yan Xichen.This means seeing him as a family member.

They went to several places that Yan Xichen remembered were related to Fang Shuo when he was a boy.

It's just that although they went to several places one after another, they still failed to find more information and shadows about Fang Shuo.

"Fang Shuo may not necessarily be hidden in my watch world. If there is, how can he not be in the watch world for such a long time?"

"Maybe it's because he hides somewhere deeper in your heart." Du Yachen pointed the steering wheel with his index finger.

When he was talking, he was careless, but he said it with a heart. Yan Xichen observed his expression very carefully, not sure about Du Yachen's mood.

"I must have hidden you very deeply, too."

Du Yachen smiled in Yan Xichen's ear: "I absolutely believe it."

"In short, although there are differences between the external and internal worlds, the entire space is created with your will as the core. You handed over part of the power of your will to Cain, or Fang Shuo, because you feel ashamed of him, Right. The rest, even the surface world born of personal will, is all inspired by your subconscious mind."

Speaking of this, Du Yachen sighed: "You hope to create a utopia that everyone is satisfied with, a beautiful dream. Even you yourself can't explain why such a will space can interfere with the real world, but it does. Dying people Those, or those who are unwilling, full of despair and resentment towards this world, suddenly forget everything one day and enter the beautiful new world you created—”

"Stop talking." Yan Xichen pressed his head with a headache.

"You are the source of the knot in this world, and Fang Shuo is the key to untie this knot, which is why I insist on you finding the real Fang Shuo."

Du Yachen discussed with Yan Xichen for a while, and both of them thought it necessary to go to "Kiev" in Yan Xichen's world.After all, most of the time in memory with Fang Shuo comes from Hawkeye.That was the turning point in Yan Xichen's life. Hawkeye was his second home. To Fang Shuo, who entered Hawkeye earlier, Hawkeye held even more weight.

At that time, Du Yachen and Yan Xichen were making breakfast in the kitchen, and the other was squatting on the stall to check the package. They were both startled by the sound, and the mercenary instinctively reacted.Yan Xichen quickly took out a pistol from behind his apron, and Du Yachen picked up the submachine gun that was placed on the floor stall. They immediately pointed their weapons at the entrance by coincidence, and then saw...

Duan Mingyi and Luo Sen seemed like a bad boy brought his younger brother to kick the gym.Rosen could still restrain himself a bit, and was used to being silent, so he would stand on one side with lowered eyebrows and a pleasing eye.Duan Mingyi looked too much, he was carrying the gun with one hand, and the barrel of the gun was carried on his shoulder with his backhand. It was difficult for him to make such a gesture not to remind people of kicking the court.

Fortunately, the two mercenaries in the room did not shoot the opposite side into a hornet's nest as soon as the door opened. On the contrary, Duan Mingyi at the door saw the posture of the two mercenary couples about to go on a long trip, and immediately became angry. .Of course, Yan Xichen was no less surprised than him.He frowned, and even held the spatula in one hand and the pistol in the other and didn't move until Duan Mingyi couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked in and kicked the door shut.

"It's like this again, the two of you can always meet each other in the watch world first, and we always have to find it hard."

Yan Xichen retracted his gun, tensed his mood for many days, and at this moment he relaxed strangely.He laughed and said, "Maybe it's because we two have a good understanding?"

Duan Mingyi caught off guard and took a mouthful of dog food. He didn't want to pay attention to him, and turned to let Luo Sen behind him come in. Luo Sen nodded respectfully to Du Yachen: "Boss."

Yan Xichen and Du Yachen's original plan was to go out early and hit the road before the noon sun was too hot, but now this plan was interrupted by Luo Sen and Duan Mingyi who had left and returned.Du Yachen didn't say anything, and soon after Rosen entered the door, he pulled him to the other side to talk about Rosen's situation.On the other hand, Yan Xichen, after working with Duan Mingyi twice in the watch world, the distance between him and Duan Mingyi has been shortened a lot, and Duan Mingyi no longer has a dead face.

Not only did they not catch up with the sun's most vicious time, they even missed that time.When the four drove away, the weather was like a steamer.In fact, Luo Sen and Duan Mingyi didn't take long to describe the recent events in the world to them. Du Yachen seemed worried about Rose and asked Rosen a few more questions.After going back and forth, it was a bit late to go on the road.

"Why do you want to go to Kiev?" After getting on the road, Duan Mingyi began to chat with Yan Xichen casually.

Du Yachen was driving, and occasionally glanced at Yan Xichen, every time Yan Xichen could read something from his gaze.

"Kiev is the starting point of everything and the end of everything. I believe what I said in the letter I wrote to the watchmen, and I believe you have read it too." When Yan Xichen replied to Duan Mingyi, he suddenly felt that this scene was a bit familiar.When he first came to the other world, he also asked questions like this. He was both afraid and curious about everything, and it was more of an unacceptable shock.Who would have thought that one day I might be the one who manipulates the puppet, and I feel like I was exploring my inner world at the beginning.

"Cain will be found after returning to Kiev?"

"We all know this is a hypothesis." Du Yachen, who was holding the steering wheel, interjected, "Even if there is no Cain in Kiev, or even Cain in the watch world, we might as well look for it once. After all, the world is in such a mess now, there is nothing worse gone."

Yan Xichen lowered his head, looking at the desolate yellow sand outside.They have driven out of the no-man's land outside the Du Aachen war zone, and are now approaching the edge of the city.The weather was as hot as a steamer. Listening to Luo Sen and Duan Mingyi's occasional discussions about the situation in the other world, Yan Xichen knew that what they said was not an exaggeration at all.

After Duan Yun's death, together with Fang Shuo and Du Yachen's blows to him one after another, and the shock after he recovered all his memories, Yan Xichen did not pay attention to the confrontation between the outside world and the inside world for a long time.Even so, Yan Xichen could judge the terrible state of the other world from their conversation.People keep the world going by hating each other, and their relationship has become deformed.

Du Yachen only said that maybe there is another Fang Shuo hidden here.Yan Xichen thought, if this assumption came true, how would Fang Shuo in the other world explain it?

If he is the will of space, is it possible that Fang Shuo in the other world is a false image fabricated by himself?Just like his parents and sister that he fabricated in his watch world.

Can he really find Fang Shuo here?

Will he really be able to untie that knot in the watch world?He knew his knot was the tragedy of that year in Kiev.

Yan Xichen gazed at the boundless desert and unconsciously fell asleep.
