It's early spring again, Cold Spring Martyrs Cemetery.

The dry and cold wind lifted Fang Chi's long, soft black hair. Xie Weishi helped her pull up her long hair, straighten it out, press it into her windbreaker, and wrap her around with a thick scarf.

"I'm out of breath." She was covered in a scarf and muffled.

"In the hospital, you're out of breath."

"With you, why do I need to go to the hospital?"

"You didn't like talking back that much before."

"You didn't like to control me so much before-" When Fang Chi glanced at Xie Wei, he saw that he didn't show any unhappiness because of these words, but he was also indifferent to her complaints. He took a bunch of chrysanthemum and calla lilies out of the car, and walked beside her elegantly and fragrantly.

The two of them walked in the cemetery—

Fang Chi turned his head to look at Medusa's mausoleum, the person on the tombstone had curly red lips, and there was a bright and fiery beauty. Now she felt strange to that look.

"Why don't you sweep my grave too?" She said, "It's weird and lonely." ”

He dragged her by the way, not letting her go astray.

Sheng Yan's tomb is still the same tomb.

At the end of last year, Sheng Yan's body was secretly transported back to China, and the mausoleum was opened and buried in it.

Fang Chi and Xie Weishi were taken back to China by the 19th Bureau, and after they regained consciousness, they were interrogated. The two have never communicated, but in their oral transcripts, they both denied that Sheng Yan was the ruler between the eyebrows, and denied that Sheng Yan was the initiator of the "Zombie" virus.

This story will be sealed forever with the burial of Sheng Yan's body.

Even Fang Chi and Xie Weishi themselves would not investigate whether everything Sheng Yan did was because he became a ruler between his eyebrows and tasted the taste of power step by step and was deeply trapped in it, or he was revenge against everything out of resentment towards his fate, or whether he really wanted to destroy everything that was blind and rotten and sound a wake-up call to people who were addicted to virtual reality.

There is no trace of everything.

Although dala is in ruins and devastated and devastated, the reborn Avatars have begun to rebuild again.

No one seems to want to give up on Maandala. But everyone is more awake, and there is no longer an atmosphere of revelry and indulgence in Maandala.

"Teng Hua's original intention in founding Maandala was to regain the home lost in the earthquake, and dala is a dream, a dream for people to find what they have lost and get what they can't get. However, only a happy world is an unbalanced world, and in any way, it will be its destiny to collapse and dissolve. ”

There are constantly critics who have made their voices heard in various places in response to the virus incident. But for those who are still alive in this incident, no one thinks so deeply.

Fang Chi sat in front of Sheng Yan's tomb with his knees crossed, and Xie Weishi gently placed the bouquet on the leeward side of the tombstone.

"It's been a whole year...... It's as if everything is back to square one, the tombstone is still the same tombstone, the person is still the same person, as if nothing has changed, but it seems like everything has changed all over again. You said...... Could it really be just a dream? Like you said Yu Rui, a dream implanted in our heads? ”

"I thought so, too." Xie Weishi stood beside her, "When Sheng Yan said that it might be a character in my mind, I was really in a trance. If it was a dream, then the dream began when Long Zhen died. ”

"It's been in virtual reality for too long, and it's always hard to tell the real from the fake." He pulled Fang Chi to his feet, "But this dream, it should be now-"

He paused suddenly.

Fang Chi looked up at him, "What?" ”

Xie Weishi tried to calm his voice and said, "Ither was arrested by the Nineteenth Bureau, did you leave a photo of him?" ”

Fang Chi said, "Yes." ”

Xie Weishi said, "Show me." ”

Fang Chi called up a photo on his phone.

Xie Weishi glanced at it and gave it back to Fang Chi, the expression on his face was unpredictable. He asked, "Where is the ither now?" ”

Fang Chi was a little surprised by his reaction, but still replied: "The Nineteenth Bureau tried him until last month, and he still refused to admit any crimes other than the assassination of Gu Ying and He Xinyi, and since there was no evidence, it was impossible to even confirm his identity, and the Nineteenth Bureau was ready to transfer him to the judicial organs and initiate a public prosecution. But the KGB has been looking for the dignitaries of the 19th Bureau, demanding that he be brought back to Russia for retrial. Last week, the Department of State Security agreed to the KGB's request and has already transferred the ITHER back to China. ”

Xie Weishi's dark brows furrowed. Following his gaze, Fang Chi also saw -

On the other side of Sheng Yan's tombstone, there was a bunch of withered roses, red to black, as dazzling as coagulated blood.

Xie Weishi whispered:

"This ither is not the one I saw who killed Long Zhen."

The bitter north wind was blowing again.

At the same time, a long-haired girl pushes open the door to the courtyard next to the summer palace that seems to be closed forever. The tips of her hair, which still had colorful colors, were blown by the wind, and in that pillar of light, she shouted loudly and confidently: "Old man Shi, I'm here!" You mean what you say! ”

In Shi Zhengrong's office, an image of a girl standing at the door has appeared on the screen.

Hong Jincheng said: "Do you really want to use her? The second Medusa. ”

Shi Zhengrong dusted the long soot into the porcelain jar. He said:

"Someone has to walk this way."
