nightmare exec

It was an unbearable wandering.

Since ancient times, people have been willing to call people who travel long distances "travelers".Even if there is no clear destination ahead of them.But at least they know where they come from, and they have made some preparations for the journey, so that they will not be too difficult and embarrassing during the long journey.

Rangers, however, are different.

Most of the opportunities that force the homeless to go on the road are sadness and helplessness. Even if they know where they came from, they can no longer or are unwilling to return to the original place.

They are ragged, hungry, sleepy and tired, without the slightest sense of security in their hearts, only dazed and fearful.

If this is the case for wanderers in the world and on the earth, how long will the wanderers who leave the world experience?

Song Yin didn't dare to think about it, because it would make his heart hurt.

"Nine years."

Qi Zhengnan in front of him suddenly stretched out his hand and compared a number: "I found out later that I wandered behind the star gate for nine full years.

"Every day during these nine years, I was lost and wandering in a world that didn't belong to me, but I slowly forgot what I left behind and what I longed for.

"I just can't wait to look for that door in every different world, and then mechanically push it open, walk in...and start wandering in the next part of the other world blankly.

"Until the day nine years later, when the star gate died. I pushed open the last door and found myself standing in a place that was both strange and familiar. It took me days and nights of painful recollection before I remembered that here is In my own dreams."

"..."

These were obviously extremely restrained words, but when Song Yin heard this, his heart twitched twice, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand to hold Qi Zhengnan's arm.

"But you are a specially selected executive officer, you should not be a victim of the star gate."

Although some speculations had arisen in his heart, even if he laughed at him for "not seeing the Yellow River, he would never die", he still wanted to hear Qi Zhengnan tell the cruel truth himself.

Qi Zhengnan finally turned his eyes back to Song Yin from his distant memory, and seemed to be looking at another person behind him through Song Yin.

"Because of your father, he took away a chosen person in spite of everything, and escaped from purgatory with the help of some forces. And as one of the few surviving executives of the Stargate dungeon at that time, he was also the same as your father. Of Yu Gutai's comrades in arms, no one is more suitable than me to fill this gap, isn't there?"

This is a question that does not need to be answered, and Song Yin is not qualified to respond.

The tragedy was cast more than 20 years ago. Not only can he not change it, but he is even a vested interest in it-if Qi Zhengnan is not sacrificed, the person wandering in the star gate will be replaced by Song Yin's mother, so Song Yin It is impossible to be born, and he and Qi Zhengnan cannot meet...

"Brother Nan..."

Song Yin's fingers holding Qi Zhengnan's sleeve slowly tightened, and leaned on him, then stretched out his other hand, and hugged Qi Zhengnan silently from behind.

Qi Zhengnan didn't refuse his hug, but he didn't turn around to return him a hug either.

"You should understand now? So I did hate you... It should be said that what I should hate more is your selfish father."

"sorry."

Song Yin clung to his back, like a devout believer leaning on the wall of repentance. Although his voice was like a mosquito, it reached his heart.

"You hate me...you have the right to be angry with me. No one deserves that horrible vagrancy, much less betrayal. But...after all, it was my mother who was saved by you, and I cannot hypocritically You made a trade-off with her before. But I can compensate you, instead of my family and myself, no matter what the cost..."

"No, you don't need to compensate me." Qi Zhengnan corrected him, "As early as 15 years ago, I had already recovered this debt with my own hands."

"But 15 years ago, you should have been only six years old. To recover your debts? How to recover..."

Song Yin carefully chewed the logical relationship among them, and suddenly felt a sudden burst in his heart.

Fifteen years ago, that was precisely the year when he met Qi Zhengnan, and it was also the year when his family was ruined and he followed Qi Zhengnan to the north and south.

"Is it the kidnapping case when I was a child..." He felt that he was approaching the most terrifying truth: "That kidnapping was aimed at our house?"

"No, it was indeed just an accident, but the truth is worse than you think."

Speaking of this, Qi Zhengnan paused for a moment, and said four words very simply: "It's the resurrection of the dead - now I have not reincarnated again, and I have been born again since I was 0 years old. It's just like you were taken by Sisyphus a while ago. Back in the real world, stuffed into a corpse."

"The corpse... ah!"

Song Yin suddenly remembered the nightmare that he often had in the past——

At the age of six, I carried Qi Zhengnan on my back and escaped from the abandoned restaurant occupied by the kidnappers.Along the way, Qi Zhengnan lay on his back, never moving a bit, his body was cold, his limbs were limp, his skin was pale, and he couldn't even feel his heartbeat or breathing.

However, when the kidnappers came after them and they had to hide together in the trunk of the abandoned car, not long after that, Qi Zhengnan beside him suddenly started to move.

To be honest, the scene at that time was really terrible—the kidnappers were beating on the car body outside, the smelly trunk was pitch black, Song Yin was trembling all over, and was very nervous, but at this moment, a cold hand clasped his arm.

Not screaming is really Song Yin's greatest restraint in his life.But in the following years, this nightmare was still circling and lingering in his mind, which indirectly caused his abnormal fear of ghosts.

But having said that, he always thought that Qi Zhengnan just woke up from a coma at that time, but he never expected that the truth itself was a horror movie.

"At that time, the real child of the Qi family had already been torn up by the kidnappers. What you carried out from the small building with all your might was just a corpse."

Up to now, Qi Zhengnan has no reason to hide anything.

"In the nine years after the copy of the Stargate, Purgatory has actually been tracking down your father who became a traitor. But he chose to live away from the city and live in isolation. Relying on his strong anti-reconnaissance and self-sufficiency capabilities, his life In the ruins of the resort, in order to avoid the monitoring of dreams by the Aksha system, he even forcibly formed the habit of time-sharing and short-term sleep.

"However, you can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime. Nine years later, your family was found by the enforcement forces in the world. The system decided to impose the most severe punishment—deprivation of your father and mother's right to life."

When he said this, he clearly felt Song Yin behind him twitch slightly.Although there was no further sound coming, he could fully guess Song Yin's expression at the moment.

Qi Zhengnan took a deep breath, but continued to speak cruelly.

"The kidnapping of the rich and the young in the resort was just a coincidence, but Purgatory did take advantage of this coincidence—the children of the Qi family also came to the airport of the world after being torn apart. There, the Aksha system reincarnated with favorable conditions. In exchange for the price, he obtained the right to arbitrarily control the body he left behind. In the original plan, the system wanted to send an 'observer' to attach himself to the child of Qi's family to supervise the arrest of the human execution force. , the news of the star gate's decline came, and the Aksha system selected me who returned after nine years of wandering."

Unlike Song Yin's father, who became a traitor in Purgatory, Mu Hui, who was once the executive officer of the special selection group and spent nine years sealing the star gate, has become an unsung hero in Purgatory.

Nine years ago, he was bound tightly like a mummy, and was sent to an asylum under the "escort" of a group of "white pigeon people".And nine years later, the group of "white dove people" still surrounded him and sent him back to Purgatory respectfully.

In purgatory, he won the highest recognition and respect of the system, just like Odysseus who was blessed by the gods.

However, Mu Hui's body was destroyed in the containment incident nine years ago, and he could not return to the real world, so the system gave him a brand new body and a brand new identity.

"The cognition of a six-year-old child is very limited. Before I left, the system instilled the most important part of it for me, and the rest can be used as a prevarication with brain damage... Anyway, that evening, you braved the rain to carry me back Back to your home. It was there that I saw your father again—the good brother who betrayed me."

Qi Zhengnan's memories came to an abrupt end here, but Song Yin's head was buzzing, as if there was still a terrible echo.

"So...it wasn't the robbers who broke into my house that night and killed my parents. It was the human execution force..."

He chewed the terrible truth: "But I don't know anything, don't remember anything?!"

"Your memory was wiped out overnight by the mortal army," Qi Zhengnan explained: "That was your parents' last request. They don't want you to be involved in that incident. They hope that you can live a safe and smooth life and stay away from Purgatory, be an ordinary, ordinary person."

"But what's the use of this? I've been kept a secret for more than ten years, and I'm still here."

Song Yin let out a long sigh, sucked his nose, and rubbed Qi Zhengnan's back: "If they know that I have become an executive officer now, they will definitely be very, very worried and angry."

"Maybe." Qi Zhengnan let out a wry smile, "But what should come will come after all, no one can stop it."

"Can't you stop it..."

Song Yin chewed these three words, and raised his head suddenly: "So back then... in the bathroom of the executive club, you said angrily, if you knew that I was destined to belong to this purgatory, why would you bother me two years ago? You gave up your life for me—so the shot you blocked for me two years ago was actually because of..."

"Because you are such a worry-free guy." Qi Zhengnan obviously avoided this topic on purpose, but the cover-up was really clumsy.

Of course, Song Yin was not perfunctory by him, but made the question more straightforward: "Brother Nan, the Aksha system punished my parents, so how is it going to treat me at that time?"

"Give you to your relatives." Qi Zhengnan replied.

"Nonsense. I haven't seen any relatives since I was six years old. Even if I did, how are they going to explain my mother's disappearance for nine years and my father's incident?"

"Then transfer you to the orphanage."

"Welfare home." Song Yin bit these three words, "How likely are the children of the two executive officers to be selected as career?"

Seeing that his mind was as clear as a mirror, Qi Zhengnan also changed his mind of continuing to perfunctory.

"Indeed... the system once considered training you to be an executive officer of the special group. On the one hand, it was because your other relatives could not be found at that time, and on the other hand, it also hoped that you could atone for your father."

"No, my dad doesn't owe Akesha anything!"

Song Yin's attitude suddenly became tough: "Didn't it mean that people are born free? Everyone has the right to find a way out for themselves. My parents just want to live, and they are punished because they don't want to die. I can't agree with that!"

Having said that, he tightened his grip on Qi Zhengnan more and more: "But no one has the right to push others into death in order to survive. So the person they owe is you, and only you can judge them, not the system, not purgatory! "

"Man is born free, but he is always in chains①. Even the most normal death is the result of surrendering to the laws of nature." Qi Zhengnan sighed in a low voice, "Sisyphus, the foolish god, will always push heavy objects up the mountain, steal Prometheus of fire is tied to a precipice, and punishment is never meant to make up for the victims, but rather the machine of power to consolidate its own rule."

Having said that, he gently patted Song Yin's hands wrapped around his waist: "You know everything you want to know, let's go, get out of here."

Saying that, a small door appeared on the other wall of the room.Qi Zhengnan led Song Yin through it, and suddenly returned to the corridor of the safe house.

"Do you regret it now?" The man who told everything, turned around.

"I was shocked, heavy, but in no way regretted."

The answer Song Yin gave was firm and clear word by word: "On the contrary, because of this heaviness, I feel closer to you."

After saying this, he suddenly moved towards Qi Zhengnan, raised his head and kissed his lips.

The aggressive kiss was gentle and lingering.Not only appease the other party, but also seek comfort.

Song Yin understood that her actions were equivalent to sending out an invitation.However, 1 minute passed, and the lower bodies of himself and Qi Zhengnan were all limp, without any reaction.

This is a little embarrassing...

In the end, Qi Zhengnan pressed his shoulder silently, and pushed him away a little: "In the future, I'm not in the mood now."

"...Today doesn't seem like an auspicious day for doing this."

Song Yin also laughed a few times, and sniffed again.

The author has something to say: ① Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains - Rousseau.

Song Yin: The culprit of my fear of ghosts is you, the ghost! ! ! !

Qi Zhengnan: I'm really sorry

Song Yin: You were still sleeping when I watched ghost movies! ! !

Qi Zhengnan: Then watch ghost movies when I sleep with you

As of today, the mystery of Brother Nan's body has basically been solved.

Regarding the grievances between him and Song's father, it is actually a replica of an ethical dilemma, which will be mentioned later.

I don't have a clear judgment of right or wrong.Dad Song did harm him, but Dad Song saved his lover, so from a certain point of view, he was right.I suggest that everyone can go back and read the chapters on the gambling boat, and you can see why Brother Nan hated being betrayed so much.

Do you still remember the white dove people?I mentioned Brother Nan's nightmare earlier.That's what happened when he was contained with the stargate.
