Ember Gun - Chapter 686
Chapter 686 Fictional Life
Countless crystal snowflakes fell outside the window. They convolved together and turned into a turbid and white storm. In a blink of an eye, a layer of white snow was spread on the street, bringing a cold chill.
Because of the existence of the Pillar of the Furnace, the Old Dunling was wrapped in heavy water vapor for many years, and it would be extremely cold in winter.
”This may be the hardest winter in Jiudunling for so many years. I hope you will take measures to keep warm…”
The broadcaster’s worried voice sounded on the radio.
The aftermath of the torrential rain still affects the city. There is still a lot of water in many underground facilities, not to mention the ruins and the remains of the monsters to be dealt with, as well as many more headaches.
The influence of antimeme is still going on. Everyone’s mind is implanted with the horror scene of a rainstorm day. Now many people are fortunate to have survived. Facing the coming winter, there are no more expressions on their faces. , There was only a monotonous numbness.
Some people were obscured by the gloom, and some people found a little brilliance in the gloom.
“After winter, it is the so-called God’s Birthday.”
Sao Liangxi lay comfortably in the corner, covered with warm blankets. The house looked a little rudimentary. There was nothing but necessary furniture. The fireworks in the fireplace were burning quietly, spreading the warmth.
“Well, God’s Birthday is said to be the most grand festival of the year. Everyone will return home and spend the quiet night with their families.”
Shao Liangye’s voice sounded on the other side, and he sat in a chair with his eyes closed and meditated.
In the case of successive severe injuries, the cleaning agency really couldn’t find any extra energy to take care of these nine summer guests, so they could only be temporarily placed here. Fortunately, they felt nothing, after all, they were here to kill the enemy. Instead of vacation.
“Sounds pretty good, family reunion…”
Sao Liangxi muttered. She tried to recall the so-called “family”, but only one vague figure after another appeared in the memory, and a golden lake.
She knew that she didn’t understand, so she didn’t continue to think about it.
“You said, how long shall we stay here until?”
Sao Liangxi asked again, she is a person who can’t take time off, full of vitality all the time, to let such a restless guy stay here all the time, for her, it is simply torture.
“Who knows? Just take a break. There are not many opportunities like this.”
Shao Liangye had a gloomy face. He had been so gloomy for a long time. Although Shou Liangxi was used to this guy’s terrible face, sometimes Shao Liangye still smiled somewhat, but since the rainstorm, he has been like this, as if hiding in his heart. What a secret.
What’s the secret?
Sao Liangxi could guess, but contradictory, she didn’t know what it was.
As an anonymous name, when he woke up from the hospital and saw the amnesia of Rhode and the blur of his own memory, Liang Liangxi noticed everything.
At the end of the rainstorm, something must have happened. After getting his permission, Shao Liangye hid it forever.
Sao Liangxi was very curious and wanted to ask more, but every time she spoke, she couldn’t help but retract. She thought it should be a bad memory, both curious and scared.
“Where is Rod? I remember he was here just now.”
Sao Liangxi looked at the corner of the room, Luo Luo had forgotten more than his own. This unlucky mortal directly lost nearly a month of blankness, as well as his familiarity with Yao Liangxi.
This kind of thing is quite sad, but Liang Liangxi is probably used to all of this, she quickly accepted these, and then started the second acquaintance.
It’s just that this time Liang Liangxi has experience, and she has been very enthusiastic. After all, she and Luo Luo are already acquaintances, but in Luo Luo’s view, the two are just strangers. Such enthusiasm makes Luo Luo very enthusiastic. The trouble and anxiety caused this guy to hide from Sao Liangxi recently.
“I don’t know, maybe I’m busy,” Shao Liangye said, “Now he manages our daily lives.”
“Ah ha ha.”
Siao Liangxi smiled and asked Rod to only serve as an interpreter. In this case, it was obviously a waste of manpower. So recently Rod took charge of the lives of these guests and was called by Sao Liangxi like a babysitter. write.
This is also the place that makes Rod the most uncomfortable. He always feels that this Jiu Xia person is bullying herself, but she doesn’t seem to have such a sense of bullying, so Rod is very confused.
laughed for a while, and Liang Liangxi felt bored again, she leaned against the wall and turned her head crookedly.
”You said, how many times have our memories been cropped?”
Sao Liangxi returned to peace and asked.
”If you think about it carefully, I don’t have any sad memories. It’s as if my life has been so smooth and happy, without a trace of damage.”
Shao Liangye did not speak, but remained silent.
There has always been an appropriate tacit understanding between him and Liang Liang, or it is the same between everyone’s anonymity. They all know what they have lost, but they all pretend that it hasn’t happened before, maintaining a falsehood. peaceful.
“Things that are too perfect always seem a bit false, don’t they?”
Sao Liangxi looked out the window, the snowflakes fell down, clinging to the glass, and it exuded bursts of cold.
Shao Liangye is still silent. He is not good at any language, let alone defending with Liang Liangxi.
“Okay, okay, I know you can’t say anything. After all, this is part of the “creed”. I shouldn’t remember what was erased, but I still have a question, I want to ask you .”
Speaking of this, Liang Liangxi seemed a little hesitant. This matter has bothered her for too long, and recently she even started to have nightmares.
She was on the golden lake, and soon the lake below her feet became restless, and then the monstrous fire swallowed herself.
“In my memory, that golden lake, is it real?”
This is a very bad feeling. After you realize the first flaw, you will begin to doubt, doubt everything in your life, and realize that this is all countless flaws, composed of one false one after another. , Shaky.
“I have no idea.”
At this time, Shao Liangye finally spoke. He had thought about the arrival of this day, but Zuo Zhen was supposed to explain all this to her, but now he replaced it with himself and was caught off guard.
He sighed and looked very tired. Thinking about it, it was really troublesome.
“Then you remember, the golden lake.”
Siu Liangxi asked again, usually she can pretend to be stupid and not think about these things, but with all these things experienced in the Western world, Siu Liangxi has a faint hunch that everything is about to end. If you don’t do it now Clearly, she might never have a chance to know again.
“Well, the golden lake, where we grew and received training.”
Shao Liangye’s words do not carry any emotions.
”Is this true? Or is it another false… even saying that’Baoliangxi’ is false?”
Suspicious one after another, so Liangxi felt uneasy that he had never felt before.
”If you know the creed, believe it blindly and stubbornly. Only in this way can you avoid self-destruction of doubt.” Shao Liangye said.
Situations full of suspicion like Shao Liangxi did not appear in the unknown, so they need to blindly believe in the creed, try not to think more, but stubbornly execute the commands in front of them.
“but……”
Shao Liangye’s words stopped. He felt that this was still too cruel. He felt that he should not be so indifferent. Both he and Shao Liangxi were living people.
“You can wait until after all this is over, Liang Xi.”
Shao Liangye said, and then there was a little light in his eyes, which was not only persuading Shao Liangxi, but also persuading himself.
”As long as all this is over, we can return to Jiu Xia together, no matter what your memory…and the golden lake, whether it is true or not, we will get the answer there.”
Leaving Jiu Xia this time, Shao Liangye felt that the things he had experienced in just a few months were more frightening and perplexing than all he had experienced in the first half of his life.
In addition to Zuozhen’s departure, he seems fragile right now, not knowing what to do.
“Zuo Tang…”
Shao Liangye remembered the leader of the anonymous people. He only knew that Zuo Tang was not dead, but after the heavy rain, Shao Liangye never saw him again, and he didn’t know what this guy was doing.
He may be sad, or he may not have any emotions. Shao Liangye and Zuo Tang have not communicated much, but he generally knows the relationship between him and Zuo Zhen.
Shao Liangye felt that he should have a good talk with him, not only what to do next, but also Zuozhen, Biaoliangxi, and the golden lake…
Just then the door was pushed open, and a sneaky poked his head in.
Like a thief, Rod looked around vigilantly, then opened the door, carrying a pile of chopped wood in his hand.
“I brought some wood back.”
Rode looked at Shao Liangxi and then at Shao Liangye. He completely forgot all his experiences with the two of them, and his expression was slightly nervous.
“Yo! Rod!”
Sao Liangxi suddenly got up, wrapped in a blanket and walked towards Luo directly.
“Ahhhhh!”
Rod exclaimed, like hide-and-seek, walking around Shao Liangye in the middle. He threw the wood in his hand by the fireplace, and then quickly withdrew, but he was obviously going to be a step slower and he was caught by Shao Liangye. Brook caught.
“Oh, why are you shy?”
Sao Liangxi played with Rod deliberately and held Rod vigorously, as if he was a good brother and intimate.
But for Rod, this is a bit embarrassing torture. He always feels that he has seen Biao Liangxi where, but he can’t remember it anyway. It stands to reason that he should be very much to these nine summer visitors. Excitement is right, but in front of the even more excited Sian Liangxi, Rod is a little bit horrified.
I was supposed to observe the Nine Summers by myself, but now all this seems to be the other way around.
“Please… wait a minute!”
Rod whimpered.
I don’t know whether to say that Liang Liangxi has a big heart, or whether she is very good at this kind of performance.
For the past, Shao Liangye may breathe a sigh of relief, but this time, he did not relieve the pressure by half. For the first time, he himself could not see Shao Liangxi clearly, not knowing whether she was really stupid or just a disguise.
“Wait a moment!”
Rod yelled, as if it shook Sou Liangxi and made him crawl out of the tormented hell. He leaned aside and said in a little horror.
“Someone just came over to deliver the letter.”
“letter?”
Sao Liangxi glanced at Shao Liangye, “For you?”
As a stranger from afar, she didn’t think that in this strange Western world, someone would send letters for herself.
“Well, it seems to belong to the Stuarts.”
Rod took out the letter from his arms as he spoke, and the Stuart’s sword and shield were printed on the envelope.
“Stuart?”
Shao Liangye got up. They didn’t have much intersection with this family, but he remembered that the young country builder seemed to come from this family.
“give.”
Rod handed over the letter, and then hid far away.
Under these few days of work, he found that as a translator, he did not have much use at all. On the contrary, he was like a nanny. He also couldn’t understand why the cleaning agency had to send himself to take care of these two strangers. I don’t understand why these two strangers look familiar to them.
Shao Liangxi judged that he was too self-familiar, but Shao Liangye was different. This guy was very indifferent, but in some details, Luo Luo could realize that this guy is also familiar with himself. De had never dealt with them.
“what is this?”
Sao Liangxi also leaned over and supported Shao Liangye’s shoulders.
“Invitation card.”
Shao Liangye simply looked through it and came to this conclusion.
”Invite us? Stuart’s house?”
Sao Liangxi’s eyes shone, and she has had enough of the boredom these few days. For her, this kind of thing is simply a surprise.
“Well, it should be.”
“when?”
“It’s not written on it, but if I say it, someone will be sent to pick it up.”
A dinner?
Rod stood on the side, thinking in his heart that the banquet held by the Stuarts did not seem to be open to the outside world, completely by invitation… This sounded full of wealth and power, and only the upper echelons of the old Dunling. People are eligible to participate.
All sorts of things flashed in his mind for a while, but in the end they all disappeared. Rod felt that he was still a pragmatic person. He rarely cared about such remote things. In his opinion, he could do academic research well and then It would be nice for Jiudunling to buy a house and spend his life in peace.
He thought so, the shouting gradually became clear, and Rod heard Shao Liangye calling him.
“Rod, Rod!”
Shao Liangye shouted several times before calling Rod’s consciousness back.
“what happened?”
”You will be here for a few days, right? Then we will go together.”
Shao Liangye said.
Listening to his words, Rod put on the iconic smile of a service worker.
“OK.”
After speaking, his thoughts froze for a few seconds.
Wait a minute!
“Together?”
Rod showed a surprised expression, Shao Liangye nodded, took out the invitation letter, and pointed to Rod’s name on it.
“Yes, what’s the matter?”
