Chapter 144: Nature
In a completely unfamiliar and even unrealistic environment, moving towards a goal that does not know the distance at all is actually an incomparably challenging thing to do, especially after walking for a long time and still not seeing the light of day, and even the concept of time is quite vague.
In such a withdrawn situation, it is easy for a person to have an emotional breakdown.
Fortunately, Fu Jixianli is a little different, not that his inhibition is far from human, but the impact of this "dream" on him can be regarded as a good thing in a sense...... He was very energetic from beginning to end, and even became more and more energetic as time went on without eating, drinking, or sleeping.
If Fu Jixian wants to summarize his performance along the way, he has to use a popular singing tune - eyes as big as copper bells, shooting lightning shrewdness.
This very spiritual feeling is conducive to Fu Jixianli's actions, but things can't be generalized like this...... It is never a good thing to maintain this state for a long time, in fact, as time goes by, Fu Jixianli is no longer just mental, but "excited".
No one can stand stimulants every day, or adrenaline at a high level.
And if you want to make a conclusion, then Fu Ji Xianli still has to say that he is grateful for the "original embryo" in his body, if this thing doesn't exist, then he and even Zhenzhong Aoi will definitely die in this environment......
Therefore, no matter how long the road is, there will always be a time to finish.
…………
When Aoi Machu woke up again, she felt a little groggy in her head.
The surroundings were a little dark, and there was a subtle light shining through the gaps in the undrawn curtains, and after getting used to the light a little, she saw her surroundings...... It seemed to be her own room.
Slightly lifted the duvet covered on her body, and then looked at the clothes she was wearing, well, it was a long T-shirt that she often used as pajamas, which was very ordinary and normal, but the problem was that she seemed to be wearing such a dress naked, and the whole person felt empty.
She leaned sideways, barely raising her head, and then fell back onto the pillow.
Then those vague memories came back to her mind.
She remembered that she and Fu Jixian chased the puppeteer, and then was tricked into the depths of the "Ancient God Dream", and then when she tried to leave the dream again, she was attacked by some kind of monster, and then she lost her mobility.
Then she became sometimes awake and sometimes asleep, and while she was awake, some key memories were still preserved, so she could roughly understand how she had returned to the world.
Then after being taken home, she also took a shower, cleaned her body, changed her clothes, and because she couldn't eat, she was filled with a carton of milk, and then she seemed to brush her teeth before lying down to rest...... Personal hygiene is done, but all this is something she can't do on her own, that is, it's not what she does, but what she does.
Aoi Manaka pursed her lips, feeling the smell of milk fill her mouth, and her cheeks grew redder after roughly recalling the chain of experiences.
Originally, she felt very hungry after waking up, but now Aoi Manaka doesn't care about being hungry.
She subconsciously wanted to bury her head in the bed, but with this movement, she felt that she was holding down something that was not too soft, and when she looked sideways, she realized that she was pillowed on someone's arm.
It looked a little familiar, especially the gauze wrapped around the wrist of this arm made her understand who its owner was.
Aoi Manaka, who was lying on the bed sideways, subconsciously turned around, raised his face, and then saw Fu Ji Xianli's face.
What should she do at this point?
In short, it is best to sneak away while he has not woken up yet. However, just as she was thinking like this, Fu Ji Xianli suddenly opened her eyes.
“……”
Manaka Aoi was thinking about whether she should speak at this time, and what she should say. But she saw Fu Jixian show a smile, then leaned her head forward slightly, pressed her forehead against her forehead and pressed it down gently, and then her face was even more up.
Then Fu Jixianli's lips just came together.
Sister Aoi felt a special temperature, so after Fu Ji Xianli opened her eyes, she subconsciously closed her speech.
After feeling the response, Fu Jixianli's other hand wrapped around her waist.
Two people can escape from a desperate situation without separating each other and working together, so this kind of indifference can continue.
Aoi Manaka turned her head to the side so hard that the long hair that was suppressed might have been torn off a few times, so she couldn't help frowning slightly, pursed her mouth and snorted softly.
…………
In the evening, in an ordinary family restaurant downstairs in Manaka Aoi, Fu Ji Xianli and Manaka Aoi sat at both sides of a table and started their first meal after many days.
"It's hard to say exactly how long I stayed in that dream, but the time of that dream was misaligned with reality, and when I left there, I found that only three days had passed from beginning to end...... Fortunately, it was only three days, otherwise I would have been reported missing. Fu Ji Xianli explained to Manaka Aoi while eating a fried rice.
"Well, from my vague memory, I did stay in there for a long, long time."
Aoi Manaka's reply seemed normal, but in fact she was talking with one hand on her cheek and her whole face facing the glass wall of the restaurant, as if something interesting was happening outside that would attract his attention.
Sister Aoi didn't seem to have much appetite, but after a while, she still had to turn her head and start eating...... In any case, you still have to be hungry.
"Speaking of which, why did you survive in that environment? It's so abnormal. As she spoke, Aoi looked at Fu Ji Xianli's wrapped wrist again.
Fu Jixian should have put a lot of blood for her to drink, which was not only replenishing water, but even supplementing nutrition, so why did he keep persevering? This is unreasonable.
"Actually, I may have something to do with the so-called 'Old Gods,' something I've only recently discovered." Fu Ji Xianli explained like this, he didn't directly say the matter of the "original embryo", "You just treat me as a direct servant of the ancient gods, so I can walk freely in that environment...... It's possible that I received the ethereal energy from the 'Old Gods' directly from that place.
Even though we survived by this bizarre thing, it has to be said that it is not necessarily a good thing. ”
"......" Manaka Aoi thought for a while before he spoke, "It's really not a good thing to be too deeply involved with the 'Old Gods'. ”
"No, I mean it's not a good thing that you drink too much of my blood, Sister Aoi, because I can't guarantee that my body is the same as a normal person, and the devil knows what kind of blood my blood will be." Seeing that Zhenzhong Aoi had some misunderstanding, Fu Jixian said again.
"You mean there's a good chance I'm contaminated by you?" Aoi said in surprise, but after saying it, she felt that what she said was too ambiguous, so she couldn't help blushing and continued to stumble and explain, "I mean blood pollution? ”
"It's hard to say this, maybe I'm fine, maybe Sister Aoi, your digestive system is functioning well...... To say bad things, I'm just telling you to be a little mentally prepared. Fu Ji Xianli stared at Manaka Aoi and said.
His straight gaze made Aoi feel a little uncomfortable, and Sister Aoi subconsciously pulled her collar, as if she wanted to cover some marks on her neck that were or were not there.
At this time, Fu Jixian remembered a famous sentence again...... It looks barren, but it is not lacking in feel, so the "actual" is not as barren as imagined, which is not a kind of plumpness - Lu Shuren.
"Ahem", Aoi Manaka cleared her throat, then brushed back the hair on her left ear with one hand, and at the same time lowered her head, holding a spoon in her right hand and scooping a spoonful of soup to her mouth.
After eating something, Mazhong Aoi said intentionally or unintentionally, "Lijun, you don't have to worry too much, it's normal to have a few boyfriends at my age, so ...... Well, normal things. ”
Hey, what do you mean by that? Sister Kui's attitude of "life senior" made Fu Ji Xianli feel that he seemed to be abandoned...... Well, the scumbag speaks.
But there are some things that can be easily judged...... This is a lie.
"Sister Aoi, it's not that I'm more serious, but I still want to ask...... How many boyfriends are the hell? ”
“…… Six or seven, I don't remember this kind of thing clearly. Aoi continued to drink the soup with her head down, and her hands moved faster and faster.
Fu Jixian smiled and didn't say anything more.
Let's put it this way, if someone is a goblin, then she should at least have a good waist, but that doesn't match the situation.
Only inexperienced people would do clumsy and cute things.
After eating, Fu Ji Xianli sent Manaka Aoi home, she needed to take a good rest, Fu Ji Xianli did not continue to follow, because if he did that, there was a high probability that he would be stopped.
And because Zhenzhong Aoi has been groggy for so long, and some other things, her mind may be more confused now, and she didn't mention much about the period of "puppeteer", but this is a serious matter, and Fu Jixian has not forgotten it.
It's not that they are resentful, the two of them want to catch each other, but the other party almost killed them, this is a relationship, but the matter has not ended here, and Fu Jixianli just thinks that it is time to put an end to this matter.
After coming into contact with the "puppeteer" again, Fu Jixian Li collected some key information, so if he relied on his own special method to judge, he had already roughly guessed the identity of the other party.
After sending Shinaka Aoi upstairs, Fu Ji Xianli sat down on the bench downstairs again.
After Sister Aoi went home, she turned on the light, subconsciously looked down, and then saw this person's figure...... I don't know why she smiled.
Fu Jixian took out his mobile phone and prepared to contact his "tool man".
It's also thanks to the fact that he used to run around a lot, so the three days of missing contact didn't cause any problems, everyone just thought he couldn't sit still and didn't know where to run to play - although Fu Jixian never went elsewhere for the simple purpose of traveling.
"Miss Xia Shi, there is a new commission, can you do me a favor, I want you to check someone's family situation, and what happened in the past year or two......"
Fu Ji Xianli immediately contacted his detective friend, and seemed a little impatient.
"Yes, are there any more specific requirements?"
Soon, Fu Ji Xianli received a response from Natsumi Soya.
Fu Ji Xianli sent the name and corresponding identity of that person to Natsumi Soya, and then continued, "There are no specific requirements, but one thing to remind is that you only need to simply search for general things about the other party, don't get too close, let alone reveal that you are investigating the other party, once you detect any bad signs, you must give up this matter directly." ”
"I see what you mean...... Is this person dangerous? ”
Natsumi Soya has always been very measured and knows how to protect herself, plus the things that make her investigate are very simple and broad things, and there is no need for in-depth investigation, and Natsumi herself is a person who is very good at extracting information from public channels, so there is no problem for her to accept such a commission.
"It can be very dangerous."
"I know what to do, don't worry, I'll tell you the results soon."
“OK。”
After entrusting the matter to Natsumi Soya, Fu Ji Xianli replied to the messages he had received one by one these days, and made up some reasons for his "disappearance", saying that he was very safe, but he was just crazy.
After dealing with these things, he did not go home, but found a nearby hotel to stay...... If possible, he wants to try not to let the "puppeteer" know that he and Manaka Aoi have returned safely.
Three days later, Fu Jixian received an investigation report from Natsumi Soya.
"Is that really the case?"
After reading the email, Fu Jixian finally understood the purpose of the "puppeteer".
After contacting Shinohara, Morinaga again, and confirming certain things, Fu Jixianri took a bouquet of flowers and took a taxi to a hospital in Tokyo that afternoon.
All the way to the inpatient department, after registering his information, he went upstairs with a bouquet of flowers, and finally came to the door of a hospital room.
knocked lightly on the door, and sure enough, there was no response, and then Fu Jixianli directly pushed the door and walked in.
There was only one bed in the ward, and the afternoon sun shone just on it.
Lying on it was a little girl who looked to be only ten years old, and her body was covered in various pipes.
Fu Jixian looked at her, then took a step back with the bouquet in his hand, and once again confirmed the patient's name written on the door number:
Confinement Komiya.
Well, here it is.
Fu Jixian nodded, closed the door again, and then walked to the bedside, and after placing the white bouquet on the bedside table, he made it to the chair next to the bed.
The child seemed to be in a coma, with various instruments connected to her body that Fu Jixian knew or didn't know, and although her chest was undulating, it seemed that the amplitude was very weak, and she felt a little angry.
She was quiet and silent, or rather......
On the verge of death.
