【Zhou Fumei】Walk left and stand right

15.

In fact, even Mephisto himself had similar doubts.

If the Faust in this life is no longer "Faust", then who exactly do I like?

Mephisto felt that she should talk to someone, but Tallulah was so busy that she disappeared. Mephisto left her countless communication requests, but she only replied with a series of numbers.

[message] Talula: I've been very busy recently.This is the invitation code for the internal test of the game, you play first, good boy.

Mephisto withdrew from the communication conversation with a dark face, and cut to the chat box with Faust.

[message] Mephisto: Send me the room number, and I'll find you.

[message] Faust: Good.

Carrying the room card, Mephisto slipped all the way to Faust's room.Even though it's an annual school trip, the nerd student is still playing games on the bed, dismissive of the sea and the sun.

Xiao Baimao leaned forward and tried to lure the handsome boy: "Give me a chance for a date?"

Faust didn't even look up: "Only in places with no sunlight and air conditioning."

It means that before the fireworks display, neither of them can get out of here.Mephisto couldn't move him, so he simply climbed onto the corner of the bed, and secretly stuck himself on Faust's body: "Let's talk about it after the sun goes down."

The smell of Faust lingered around him, and Mephisto sank into the mattress, becoming obsessed with the people around him.

A school trip sounds like a good opportunity, suitable for holding hands and stealing kisses or something.

Faust didn't realize the little Jiujiu in his heart, and the upright Xueba clicked on the next copy, letting Xiao Baimao curl up beside him.Mephisto glanced at the screen inadvertently, but saw something familiar on the plot screen.

"……what is this?"

"A new game, currently in closed beta. The name is Monster Ark, produced by a company called Longmen..."

new game.closed beta.Longmen's company.

Mephisto popped up suddenly, and clicked on the chat dialog box with Tallulah, and the pattern of the dragon's head appeared on the screen immediately, next to the game invitation code that Tallulah sent him.

The same dragon head logo is lying across the upper right corner of the game interface.Not only that, the former commander even saw the coat of arms of the Integral Movement, which was printed on the armbands of the two standing figures, who were wearing black and white military uniforms, and their fluttering armbands were as red as blood.

He once thought that he could calmly face everything in his previous life.But when those pictures really appeared in front of his eyes, Mephisto found that he couldn't do it.

The origin stone mine was too cold, and the brand of Ursus was too painful, and the world of Terra never gave them the dawn.In his previous life, he messed up everything, failed to protect Tallulah, failed to keep his promise to live and die together, and did not lay even a small burial ground for the infected until his death.

Everything in the previous life was like the longest and darkest nightmare, and even the little warmth that remained had become a shackle in this life. The person who accompanied him through the dark night no longer belonged to him.

He knew he must be very upset right now.Faust even hid the phone behind his back, looking at him with cautious eyes that he had never seen before:

"Stop playing, shall we go out for a walk?"

The action of the body preceded the consciousness. When Mephisto reacted, he had already grabbed the collar of the man in front of him and bit his lip.

Faust's lips were as cold as he imagined, but the smell was minty, not the tobacco smell that Mephisto had expected.The former commander was pulled back to reality, he glanced at Faust in front of him, and wiped his face lightly.

"I'll go out and calm down. You can continue to play."

He didn't dare to look at Faust's expression again.The former commander calmly walked out of the room, but slowly squatted down outside the door, holding the back of his head with both hands.

...what did he do?

16.

Before the school trip, the head teacher sent an itinerary to the students, and Mephisto saw the optional fireworks show at a glance.On the bus to the hotel, Mephisto held the thin piece of paper, planning to invite Faust to spend a romantic time with him.

All plans collapse in one impulsive kiss.Mephisto stayed at the door of the hotel for a while, and many teenagers and girls who tried to invite him in the middle of the way scattered away knowingly after seeing his dead eyes.

The sun was dim, and the evening glow stained the clear blue sky.Mephisto's terminal rang, and Tallulah's name lay across the center of the screen. Xiao Baimao stared at the answer symbol for a long time, but finally did not press it.

The world is quiet.Mephisto stood up and decided to go out and have some fun.

He couldn't blame Tallula, the leader's decision had always been well thought out.Mephisto knew he was venting his anger, but now that the wound had been reopened, he really couldn't face her.

The city is not far from Longmen, and there is a high-speed railway bridge directly to Longmen across the sea.Mephisto walked around the coastline for a long time, and sat down on a reef where he could see the bridge.

The sky darkened quickly, and the bonfires of the dinner party were lit one by one, and bright flowers bloomed on the beach.Mephisto rested his chin and looked into the distance, involuntarily recalling the days of the picnic in the sand field, he tapped the rocks under him lightly, and hummed Ursas's folk tunes.

The singing attracted many passing tourists. They stopped under the rocks and left quickly.Mephisto didn't care, but when the song was over, he found an unexpected audience.

Faust didn't know how long he waited under the reef. After the last note fell, he climbed up the reef, sat beside Mephisto, and handed him a familiar cigarette case: "Here."

Faust seemed to hope to make him feel better, but he happened to touch the back scales of the young master.Mephisto threw away the cigarette angrily, as if he wanted to throw away the shadow that was smoking with his back turned to him in the previous life: "What about the lighter, throw it away together."

Faust shook his head: "Since you don't want to light a cigarette, use a lighter to light something else."

Only then did Mephisto notice the fireworks in the bag.The sophomore in high school fiddled with the lighter with his head down, the young master watched his hair twirling, and couldn't help but think of the mobile game he played just now.

That game completely restored everything in the world of Terra. Tallulah is very detailed, and even their vertical paintings are exactly the same as in the previous life.Mephistopheles thought that Faust should have read the short story and understood the reasons why he was so persistent.

I don't know how he will feel?

Naturally, Mephisto would not ask, and Faust did not take the initiative to mention it.The two have their own concerns but tacitly, maintaining a harmonious silence.

Mephisto watched the fireworks carefully for a while.The glowing flames illuminated Faust's face, but a high-speed train passed the bridge at this moment, dragging a slender strip of light in the night. From the perspective of Mephistopheles, the train seemed to be integrated into Faust's face. The fireworks in your hand extend the shining light to the distance.

He had seen Faust holding a balloon.That "Faust" was translucent, obviously a ray of unconscious living soul, but he would instinctively raise his hand, trying to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Mephisto's face brightened and darkened, he glanced at the cloth bag, and found the same incense sticks as at Kisaragi Station.

According to the patriots, Kisaragi Station is a gray area between life and death, the fog is the boundary between the two worlds, the train is the link connecting the two worlds, and the incense sticks are the only tokens for entering and leaving the two worlds.Not only is Faust in the state of living soul, when he left the station, the patriot also handed him a stick of incense.

Mephisto sighed a little.He pointed to the cloth bag: "I want to see the one in the shape of incense sticks."

Faust looked at him and replied in a low voice:

"Yes."

Mephisto's heart stopped beating for half a beat.This sentence is very similar to the sniper in the previous life from the tone to the intonation, but the boy in the second year of high school was unaware of it. He pulled out the incense stick and stuffed another stick in Mephisto's hand: "Don't just look at it." , Fireworks are for fun."

The two sticks of incense were lit at the same time, Mephisto looked at the two balls of warm light, and thought of the general wearing the antler mask again.He lowered his eyes and prayed silently to the gods.

Hello, old man.You have already saved Faust's life, how about saving my love, right?

The sea breeze was a bit strong, so the two surrounded the incense sticks so that the wick would not go out.Faust's forehead almost touched his bangs, and the man's minty breath mingled with the brackish air, and Mephistopheles knew that Faust was watching him.

"Mephisto."

His heart pounded.Mephisto knew that the time had come to face the verdict.

"……Um."

"Just now, I met your 'Faust'."

Mephisto paused.

Sure enough, Faust already knew the story of the world of Terra, as well as the torture and deceit to him by the commander.Mephisto's heart was flustered, he bit his lip, and responded sullenly: "...um."

"He said something to me."

This is what Mephisto did not expect: "What?"

The moment he raised his head, he was caught off guard by a pair of gentle red pupils.Mephisto recognized this look. When they were wearing military uniforms, there was a little black snake looking at him with love.

At that moment, Mephisto knew Faust's answer.

"He said that although I am no longer him in this world, he still hopes to ask me to take good care of his favorite person."

After the words fell, the sophomore boy in high school seemed a little shy. He hastily rolled his green eyes and touched his nose as a cover-up.

Even so, Mephisto still saw the seriousness in his expression.The love gushing out of that pair of pupils is no less than in the previous life.

Mountains move and seas dry up, human beings have gone from war to peace, but the unchanging night wind blows here from the continent of Terra, bringing him lost and found love.The sniper was within his reach, without military uniform or crossbow, but his clear red pupils reflected his figure as before.

The sparkling sea danced and shone with the fireworks, but Mephisto felt that the moonlight fell into his eyes.He blinked, and wanted to show a reunion smile to the person he hadn't seen for a long time, but tears went against his will, ruining the curvature of the corner of his mouth.

Faust was startled, searched all over his body but found no tissue, so he held his face in one hand and wiped his tears clumsily: "...don't, don't cry."

He wanted to raise his hand to wipe away his tears, holding on to the unburned incense stick, but he was no longer the living soul who neither cried nor laughed.It wasn't until this moment that Mephisto really confirmed that his Faust had returned to him completely, no matter whether it was memory or love, nothing was missing at all.

Mephisto's heart fell to the ground.The commander of that world flung himself into his lover's arms, weeping wantonly.

"Faust, I've been looking for you for a long time... really long time!"

The sound of fireworks sounded behind him, and the sky was illuminated brightly and broadly, like the belated dawn of the world of Terra.Mephisto had no time to watch, he held the lost and recovered sniper, crying faintly in his arms.

Faust opened his coat and wrapped him in his arms, his movements were as careful and gentle as ever.

"I'm sorry to make you feel wronged."

17.

Once upon a time, there was a foolish black snake who foolishly knelt in the cave outside the quicksand pond and confessed to him foolishly like his last words.

"...I can't stop liking you.

Until now I still like you and still want to stay by your side.

Wherever you go, I will follow you. "

These promises were engraved in his bones and blood. For this reason, the former commander gave up his position as a god and chose to come here with his lover.When his obsession blossomed, Mephisto bathed in the morning light, looked into Faust's eyes, and made a promise word by word.

"Faust, I love you.

"I swear, from now on, no matter where you are, I will stay by your side.

"Wherever you go, I will follow you there."

His Faust blinked red pupils, and the five-color morning glow reflected in his eyes.Mephisto touched his cheek, feeling the warmth of the living.

Great, they're still alive.

"So, Faust, shall we officially date?"

The sophomore in high school didn't answer immediately.He moved closer, rubbed Mephisto's forehead, his brows and eyes slightly curved.

-End-
