Chapter 49: A Thirty-Minute Love Story
Ever since I saw R5 in the projection, I knew that he was no ordinary alien that I "happened" to meet in the cave. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info, but I didn't expect things to be so ridiculous.
"Can you let me go inside alone?" R5 pointed to the room at the end of the passageway, "I should be able to remember something when I get there." β
The word alone seemed to make Ritsuki hesitate a little. "You mean to get us all out of here?"
"Yes, except for her, stay."
R5 pointed at me.
"Wait a minuteβ" M6 stepped forward, but she stopped in the middle of her sentence and retreated with a red face, perhaps R5 using the contact information of the Van Xi to stop her. She swept back and forth with a pleading gaze on the others, apparently hoping that we would change R5's mind for her.
Aya 17 still covered her eyes, and it seemed that she didn't want to communicate with anyone, and I was afraid that I was the only one who refused.
"Well, I don't think it'......" I hesitated, trying to achieve her goal under M6's eager gaze, but R5 looked at me at the moment, as if there was some anger, and invisibly intimidated me from continuing to speak.
"I think so." Li Yue unexpectedly began to muddy the waters, "I hope you will think about our short and meager friendship and try to prevent him from destroying this research institute." β
"How could I possibly do that?"
"I'm sure you can do it. Since the Van Xi Xing is here, I don't think I need to give you the key. β
R5 nodded at him.
"So, I'll take the rest of you on a tour of the other facilities at the institute." Li Yue motioned for everyone to turn around, and before leaving, he left a sentence in my ear, "Seize the opportunity".
"You ...... man"
"Shh He held up his finger at me, and with a smile of "I already know everything", he pushed M6 and the others, who were hesitant and unwilling to move, to the door. When he touched Aya-17, I saw his body tremble visibly, and then ran to the elevator as if he were running away.
Soon, it was really just me and R5 in this graveyard-like place, so quiet that I could hear my heart beating faster and faster.
No, after all that's happened, it's strange that I still think of him as a human being.
"It's like going back to that day."
This sentence stopped the agitation in my chest, and I did not answer.
"Am I mistaken? No, I was mistaken. "He looked at me with those eyes that hid the universe, and it was clear that I was just a piece of iron now.
Even though I knew he couldn't see my expression, I tried to show my surprised acting, "What the hell are you talking about?" β
"Of the 375 stories you told me, not a single one was an alien who ended up destroying the Earth."
With that, he walked straight to the innermost room, he walked so fast that I had to trot to keep up.
I don't understand why he suddenly recognized me. I couldn't ask, and he didn't seem to want to answer for the time being.
The hallway was surprisingly long, and the distance between the door and us changed like it was slow-forward, perhaps because R5 and I didn't talk to each other anymore. I was terrified of what was behind this milky white door, but I didn't want to be left alone in the middle of this row of coffins. I always felt like something was going to pop out of these cocoons at any moment.
Finally, we stood at the door. R5 pushes it, and the door opens, as if it had never been locked, just waiting for him to come.
I had to rely on the light in the hall outside to see what was inside the room, and there were no exotic beasts coming out of it except for some cold air.
The whole room is a veritable freezer, covered with thick ice on all sides, and in the center are five transparent coffins, which, like the outside, are cocoons inside.
R5 walks over to the first coffin and places his hand on it, and the cocoon slowly begins to become transparent, revealing the face of an old man.
"Swenson?"
Swenson's face in the cocoon was a little more shriveled than I had expected.
"The man who betrayed me has been found." He said calmly.
"What did he do to you?"
"He pushed me down and opened the abyss with me." There was no anger, no unwillingness, he seemed to be telling a story, "Because of that impact, all my sons were divided, and now I am the result of a long period of reorganization." Although the place inside the abyss is also quite fun, I still came back. He removed his hand.
"You're going to ...... Revenge? β
"Do you want to?"
"Of course I ...... I mean, I don't care if I kill this old man, but don't take the earth to the pot, I still want to live well, the longer the better. β
R5 smiled for the first time since he entered the lab.
"My memories have always been confusing, but when I got here, the whole research institute was filled with my, and I could already remember all the things of the past little by little. Including your business, I just wanted to find a chance to be alone with you by the way. β
"What's the matter with me?" I was starting to wonder if I was going to make it to the end.
"I don't understand why M6 told me that the person I met in the cave was a G17, and I don't understand why you also helped me to cheat on me."
"It's the G17 that is in the cave with you."
"Is it really my fault? There are a lot of irrationalities in the G17. M6 told me that she had been greatly stimulated when she returned, causing some of her memory to be confused, which was really convincing to me, who also had a confused memory. β
Everything is clear. M6 was worried that I was really with R5, so I found G17 to replace me, and only then did I and Ayari not disappear.
Everything is reasonable, I have nothing to complain about.
In the cold light, I looked at R5's silhouette hidden in the shadows, and was suddenly glad that he could only see the shell of the biocarapace, not my current expression.
But the more I came into contact, the more I felt that the object of my passion was not her. I was very reluctant to think about it, I was afraid that it was because I was slowly recovering, so the emotional part was gradually abandoned, so I tried harder to pretend to be enthusiastic, but ......"
"Isn't that bad?" I interrupted him in a hoarse voice, "What you met in the cave was just a creature armor, you don't know what she looks like, you will have unrealistic fantasies about her, but the real her may be ordinary, may disappoint you, isn't it good to choose someone who matches you?" That's the perfect ending, and everyone can be happy. β
"I don't think so, I prefer the way you look."
"Okay, shut up, let's go back."
I slammed the door and walked out, a sour joy welling up in my heart, and I didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
At least that's not my delusion.
I've really been liked by him, and that's enough.
Tears began to run wildly, and in the blink of an eye, they would rush out, rampaging and crushing on my face.
It's okay, he won't see me crying.
It's just wonderful.
He followed me in silence, and I didn't dare look at his expression. Just one glance makes me feel unbearable.
"I'm sorry." His voice was quite low, "I didn't expect you to be so upset, presumably in order to avoid continuing to entanglement with me, you entrusted G17 to lie to me." β
"I ......"
I'm used to being in a relationship that will never work out, but I can't bear to let him bear such a setback. There was a moment when I wanted to give up. I wanted to hug him and cry, scold him for being an idiot who only recognized me now, and kicked aside Kazuri and whatever the future was. The flame that can't be killed has always issued a deep and tempting curse to me from the bottom of my heart.
I thought, it's time to make up your mind.
"By the way," I said, turning my head and trying to suppress my choked throat, "can you carry me to the elevator?" Just like then. β
R5 is like an amnesty.
He reached out and picked me up as he had been in the cave, and I, as I had done that day, put my hand around his neck, only this time we both moved harder.
"Slow down." I buried my face in his chest and felt my tears run down my jaw and fall onto him. It's just that no matter how many tears I shed, his clothes will never get wet.
"Hmm."
"I'll tell you a story."
"Hmm."
"There's a female human who falls in love with a male alien."
"Hmm."
"But the future son of the female human will disappear because of this incident, so she must be with the father of the son."
"This human race should not sacrifice their happiness for the sake of the distant future, for the sake of irrelevant people, the aliens will do their best to stop it."
"I knew you would say that."
"Really?"
"It's weird, how many times have we only met?"
"You all need to see each other when you are in love."
"Perhaps."
I tugged at his collar, "There's a place between the gaps...... It's called Yuexia Spring Valley. β
"Hmm."
"There you can replicate people's memories of feelings."
"Hmm."
"You can put ...... Memories related to me...... All...... Where to put it? Such...... You'll be ...... forever Won't forget me. β
"You're shaking."
"Promise me."
"Even if I don't copy it, I won't forget you."
"Promise me."
"Okay."
This road was obviously very long just now, but now it seems that he has not taken a few steps, and he has slowed down, but the elevator door is already close in front of him.
"What exactly is love?" R5 asked suddenly.
What is love? Love is selfishness, poison mixed with sugar water, a sword stabbed to the heart when embracing, a death of self-control, self-destruction that cannot be stopped, a fire that burns the soul, and an untouchable taboo.
"It's the worst thing in the world."
