Chapter 25: The Destruction That Never Happened
When Liu Ye woke up, the sky was already bright, the sun hung high in the sky, the December sun slanted through the light blue curtains, shining on the milky white quilt, he slowly sat up from the bed with his forehead, his temples were beating for a while, his memory of what happened last night was only until he forcibly used magic to pass out, as for how to escape and how to return to the safe house, he had no impression at all.
"Ten o'clock ......" Liu Ye looked at the wall clock in a bit of confusion.
"You're awake. Tang Yin came in with a vial of pink powder and a roll of pressure bandages, sat on the edge of the bed with a bench, smiled at him lightly, and said, "Come on, it's time to change the dressing." ”
The sun shone on Tang Yin's long black shawl hair, shining like golden grains of sand, the purple dress swayed gently in the breeze, her eyes narrowed into two curved crescents, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her smile was like a warm current, which quickly swept away the winter chill in the house, and the tear mole under her left eye, like the finishing touch of Zhang Shengqiu, turned her smile into a perfect painting at this moment.
Liu Ye lost his mind for a while, he had never seen Tang Yinxiao before.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Tang Yin looked at him with wide eyes, and there was a pool of clear water in his eyes, so clear that there was no impurity.
"No, ah, I'll do it myself!" Liu Ye snatched the bandage and the medicine bottle, his heart was beating wildly, the heat on his face was rising, and his fingers were too strong in a panic, and the medicine bottle directly broke the wound that had just healed in his palm, and the blood seeped out again.
"Sit down obediently!" Tang Yin glared at him fiercely, and poked Liu Ye's forehead heavily with her index finger, "Don't move." ”
Liu Ye stopped all his movements and remained motionless obediently, this is the familiar eldest sister's head, pity the heart of the moment just now, and it is gone forever,
"Last night...... What happened later?" A few minutes later, Liu Ye raised his right hand, which was tied into pig's trotters by bandages, and shook it, "I only remember that I got the big square of the underground test site, and I saw Ouyang Gu lying on the ground covered in blood, I forcibly wanted to use magic to take everyone away, and then I fainted, and after that, I don't remember anything." ”
"You're embarrassed to say it. Ouyang Gu knocked on Liu Ye's head with a hand knife.
"Shhh
"If I hadn't saved you until my magic power was exhausted, how could I collapse and faint? If I had gone alone this time, that ugly reptile would have been killed by me as soon as it appeared, how could there be so many things to follow. Fortunately, the eldest sister and Mr. Smith arrived in time, otherwise the three of us would have been drinking tea with Lord Yama in the underworld by now. ”
Last night's life and death, in Ouyang Gu's mouth, it seemed as easy as drinking tea on vacation. Even on such a cold day in December, he still wears only a colorful short-sleeved shirt, revealing the muscles on his arms that are just right. He didn't have a single scar on his body, his hands in his trouser pockets, and he grinned there.
"Who are you talking about? Who was the person who was almost killed by that weird scorpion yesterday?" Although he was refuting on his lips, looking at Ouyang Gu who was alive and well, Liu Ye's heart suddenly warmed, it was really good that he was fine, if Ouyang Gu was not here, he would have died more than once yesterday.
"Uh...... It was an accident, an accident! I was distracted, haha, haha. Ouyang Gu touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Hey, then again, why are you getting better so quickly?" Liu Ye poked the iron-hard abdominal muscles on Ouyang Gu's stomach with his bandaged right hand, "Yesterday your injuries were worse than me and Shi Lan, and I'm still like this, why don't you even have scars?"
"Me, I have a special physique, I will tell you secretly," Ouyang Gu leaned into Liu Ye's ear and whispered, "My body, but the saint has opened the light~"
Liu Ye pulled the corner of his eye with the index finger of his left hand, pursed his lips, and put on an expression of looking at a salted fish, he didn't believe this kind of nonsense.
"Cut, don't believe it. Ouyang Gu stroked his hair in a chic manner, "Excellent people are always lonely, and I am always not believed or understood, alas, I am too good, it is all my fault." ”
Liu Ye had goosebumps all over his body when he heard this, and his facial features were so awkward that he didn't know how to complain.
Tang Yin looked at the two of them, you and I kept talking, smiled lightly, turned her head to look out the window, the sky was blue like a jewel, a few white clouds were floating freely in the air, the road was full of traffic, and some people's life and death last night had been forgotten by this vibrant city when they woke up. A towering white tower stands in the center of the city, overlooking all corners of the city, the city center is lined with high-rise buildings, those are the headquarters of leading companies across the world, the black glass reflects the sunlight, making the whole building look shining, compared to them, 'tears' can only be regarded as an insignificant follower, even if it is not worth a pity for long.
"Alas, stupid people really can't understand a genius like me. Ouyang Gu pulled Liu Ye's bandaged right hand and slapped him hard, "I'm going to see Shilan, see you later." ”
"Yahu-" Liu Ye was so painful that he was about to say something, but Ouyang Gu had already walked out of the room.
"Sister Tang Yin, Shilan, how is she?" Liu Ye asked worriedly, last night Shilan was shot and vomited blood, and she was also seriously injured.
"She's hurt worse than you, and she hasn't woken up yet. Tang Yin, who looked at the scenery outside the window and fell into a mystery, was called by him, came back to her senses, lowered her eyelids, and gently rubbed the medicine bottle in her hand, "There is an obvious bruise on her head, if Shi Lan is not a magician, then she will die." ”
Liu Ye remembered the scene at that time: Shi Lan cast a spell to block the spikes for Ouyang Gu, but he was knocked away by the huge recoil force and slammed into the railing.
Tang Yin squeaked the medicine bottle, lowered her head and said, "If we could have come earlier, she wouldn't have ......"
Liu Ye swallowed a mouthful of saliva in fear, looked at the small medicine bottle in Tang Yin's hand that had cracked, and quietly moved his body to the side.
"What are you doing?" Tang Yin's tone was like a mother who found out that her child was doing something bad.
"Uh......" Liu Ye's eyes rolled, and he changed the topic in a hurry, "Sister Tang Yin is really good to Shilan, is there any reason?"
"There's no particular reason for that. Tang Yin's body was weak, and she lay down on the side of the bed, her slender jade fingers kept turning the few pressure bandages left, her mouth was covered in the quilt, and she replied in a vague voice, "That kid is too pitiful." ”
"Sister Tang Yin, something happened!" Zeng Chen hurriedly rushed in with his computer, he was wearing a white down jacket, and the red over-ear headphones on his head touched the door frame, and fell to the ground with his glasses.
"Slow down, what's wrong?" Tang Yin said complainingly.
Liu Ye blinked, the eldest sister really looked more and more like the mother of these people.
"This, look at this!" Zeng Chen didn't even bother to pick up his glasses, and came to the side of the bed on his knees, turning the computer screen to Tang Yin.
On the screen is the surveillance video of the 'Tears' company, with people coming and going, some employees chatting, some drinking coffee in the lounge, some concentrating on work, the entrance to the underground test site, and some people coming in and out, everything is running normally, just like every daily routine in the past.
Tang Yin's gaze became more and more solemn, and her face was gloomy as if she was about to drip water.
Liu Ye leaned on the bed board, couldn't see the screen, could only see Tang Yin's increasingly serious face, he didn't know what was going on, he had to raise his right hand that was tied like a pig's trotter by bandages, and said timidly: "Can I ask, what's wrong?"
Tang Yin turned the screen to face Liu Ye, Liu Ye opened his eyes wide and looked closer, but he didn't see anything, and winked at Tang Yin for some reason.
"Well, I forgot, you don't know about it. Tang Yin sighed and said, "When Smith and I rescued you in the early morning, we cleared the memories of all the people present about us, but only the memories. ”
"Uh......" Liu Ye still didn't understand what the problem was.
"Look at them, it's like nothing happened. Tang Yin pointed to the screen and said.
Liu Ye nodded.
"It's impossible. Tang Yin turned around and leaned her back on the edge of the bed, looking out the window, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the clear sky that had just been cloudless was shrouded in dark clouds at this time, lightning and thunder, and it was about to rain.
"We only erased their memories of us. Tang Yin's voice was as clear and pleasant as a mountain spring flowing through pebbles, but her tone was very serious, "The facilities of the underground test site have been almost completely destroyed, and so many guards and researchers have died, these are all facts that cannot be concealed, but it can be clearly seen in the surveillance that there are still people in and out of the underground test site, indicating that it is still operating normally." The rest of the staff also showed no signs of nervousness, suggesting that they had no idea of what had happened last night. ”
Tang Yin raised her head and looked at the sky, her dark blue eyes full of worry: "The loss of hundreds of lives was covered up casually, and the huge underground project was restored overnight. Yesterday's events were devastating for Tears, a catastrophe that could have been destroyed. But just a few hours later, the memory of that night only remained in the hearts of a few of us, only you, Xiaogu, and Shilan knew the truth in the dark underground testing ground. In the eyes of others, it was as if it had never happened, and the traces of the incident were erased, erased by an invisible hand. ”
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky and hit the lightning rod on the roof of the apartment building next door, and the next moment, the raindrops fell from the rain, and the raindrops of beans fell and hit the window glass to stir up a warm drumbeat, and the air pressure was very low, Liu Ye suddenly felt a little out of breath.
"The destruction that never happened. Tang Yin slowly stood up and walked to the window, staring at the cloudy sky, a green silk was blown by the whimpering wind, and it landed on his face, "Liu Ye, behind this city, there is enough darkness to cover the sky with one hand. ”
