Chapter 29: The Future
"It's so comfortable." Xia Mengyou suddenly spoke. I almost didn't react, I was stunned, and then I said: "Yes, the wind is very comfortable this night, plus there is you by my side." ”
"Cut." Xia Mengyou smiled, but she hadn't taken her head off my shoulders yet, and she didn't care about her hair, letting it fly in the wind. She continued, "When did you become quite a good talker? ”
"Okay."
After a few more minutes, Xia Mengyou raised her head: "What time is it?" ”
I looked at my watch and replied, "It's almost 8:40." ”
"Take me for a walk." She stood up. There's nothing to do anyway, just listen to her, and then I stood up.
……
I don't know how long this step has been scattered, it seems to be a long time, and it seems to be only for a while. I always have this feeling when I chat with Xia Mengyou, obviously I feel that I have only been chatting for a few minutes, but almost half an hour has passed, and it is already nine o'clock when I look at my watch again. Find a topic, and time will pass quickly. We just walked around the square.
"Buzz......" my phone rang suddenly.
"Who?" Xia Mengyou asked.
I took out my phone and glanced at it, and said, "Yun Feiyu, maybe I'm ready to come over." With that, he picked up the phone.
"Where are you?"
"It's right here in the square, take a walk with Xia Mengyou. What about you? ”
"I'm shopping in the mall with Ye Fenglan."
"It's all now and still going to the mall?!" Xia Mengyou also snickered when she heard this.
"She was going shopping, and it wasn't that she didn't buy anything, so she bought some snacks on the way. Eh, by the way, we happen to be in a bubble tea shop, do you want us to bring some for you? ”
"Wait a minute." After I finished speaking, I put down my phone and turned to Xia Mengyou: "They are in a bubble tea shop, what do you want to drink?" ”
"Just a cup of bubble tea, a small cup, at room temperature." It's quite thoughtful.
I picked up my phone again: "Two small cups of bubble tea, both at room temperature." ”
"Okay, we'll get back in touch later."
"Hmm." Hang up the phone.
"Go and sit in the middle of the square and wait for them." I said to Xia Mengyou.
"Okay." She said yes and walked away, and I followed.
We sat down at random again and chatted.
……
"Liu Yaoxi!" Just as he was finishing chatting about the topic, he heard the voice of Yun Feiyu from afar, looked towards the source of the sound, and saw Yun Feiyu and Ye Fenglan walking towards this side. Xia Mengyou and I also stood up and waved at them.
The four of us found a cobblestone table on the side of the square, which was exactly four seats. We chatted for a while, but we waited anyway, waiting for ten o'clock in the evening. I looked at my watch again: 21:34.
"How much longer?" Yun Feiyu looked at me and asked.
"More than twenty minutes to go."
Ye Fenglan took a sip of milk tea and said, "Just wait for them to come to the door now." ”
"Aang." Xia Meng replied.
"What do you think the future will look like?" Yun Feiyu seemed excited.
"Excuse me, let's focus on what you need to focus on." I looked at Yun Feiyu helplessly and said.
"Oh, don't be so depressed, can't you ease the atmosphere?"
I ignored him, turned to the other two women, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
"How else can you see it with your eyes?" Ye Fenglan smiled bitterly.
"Don't be poor." Xia Mengyou said to Ye Fenglan, and then continued, "Actually, I think this trip is mostly bad luck. ”
"How?" I became interested because it was very similar to my thoughts.
"It's clear that we're not going to save the world."
"Nonsense." Yun Feiyu couldn't help but roll his eyes. Ye Fenglan glared at him as soon as she heard this, and Yun Feiyu immediately became serious after feeling the "murderous" gaze, and said to Xia Mengyou: "You continue." Xia Mengyou and I couldn't help but laugh when we saw this scene, and chuckled twice.
"So I think it's not us who saves the world, it's them, it's theirs who saves the world." Xia Mengyou continued, "But one of their indispensable steps is us, and as for what we are for, I really can't think of it." "me, she can read minds? And my thoughts are just a dime! However, I just nodded in agreement and didn't want to say it again.
"Makes sense." Ye Fenglan shouted.
"Why are you so happy?" Yun Feiyu looked at Ye Fenglan suspiciously, "It's very likely that we will never return." ”
"Uh......" Ye Fenglan was stunned, ignored him, and asked again: "Then won't the people around us worry when we leave?" ”
"They said they would find someone to continue living here in our place." I replied.
"Why do you always feel like they won't let us go home safely......" Xia Mengyu said with a wry smile.
"Maybe they really won't let us come back." I said with a wry smile in a joking tone. Neither of them spoke, and I suddenly felt as if I had lowered the atmosphere to zero. There was silence for a while.
"It's nothing, it's like we've saved the world." Yun Feiyu said with a smile, it seemed that he wanted to ease the atmosphere, but the other two women still lowered their heads and did not speak, which already seemed to be very embarrassing. I looked at him for a moment, and there was embarrassment in my eyes. There was nothing we could do about it. I thought they were right at our feet watching us talk, but I didn't know what they were thinking, I didn't know what it would be like to see them later.
"Wow." This is the sound of the phone receiving the message.
"Who's?" I asked.
"Looks like it's mine." Yun Feiyu said and took out his mobile phone.
"Who sent it?" I seem to have asked nonsense. The other two girls also raised their heads and looked at Yun Feiyu.
Yun Feiyu glanced at his phone and spit out two words: "Them." ”
"What are you talking about?" Xia Mengyou asked.
"'Please stand where you were last night.' Yun Feiyu read out the content of the message.
"And then?" Ye Fenglan looked at Yun Feiyu expectantly.
"'The future you.'" Nope. Yun Feiyu put the phone back in his pocket after reading it, "Let's go." With that, he stood up.
"Falling again?" Xia Mengyou reluctantly complained, "Can't you change the way?" ”
Xia Mengyu's voice just fell. "Wow."
"Who is it this time?" Ye Fenglan looked at Yun Feiyu and asked.
"Don't look at me, it's not me." Yun Feiyu said while touching the phone in his pants pocket.
"It's mine." Xia Mengyou replied and took out her mobile phone.
"I'll see." I leaned my face in.
Xia Mengyou clicked on a message, most of which was sent by that group of people. There are only one or two lines on the screen of the phone: since you don't want to "walk" again, then sit and don't move.
"Probably they sent it." Ye Fenglan looked at us and said.
"Hmm." I replied.
"What are you talking about?" Yun Feiyu also asked.
"Let's not move." Xia Mengyou said and put the phone back in his pocket and continued, "I should see them in a while." ”
"Ang ......," I replied, retracting my head. Before I could sit still, the ground began to shake, and this time it was clear that the source of the tremors was beneath our feet.
"Coming?" Ye Fenglan asked cautiously.
"Sure, how could it really be an earthquake." Yun Feiyu said calmly.
After a few seconds of silence, a circular glass cover suddenly rose around the stone table, directly surrounding the four of us and the stone table.
"Let's go." As soon as I finished speaking, we began to fall with the stone table, but instead of free fall, we descended slowly like an elevator, and it was still dark all around.
"Are you still there?" In the sound of the machine operating, Xia Mengyou asked softly. Maybe it's because it's so dark that you can't really see anything.
"Yes." "It's still there." "Hmm." The three of us responded. My hands instinctively grasped the stone table, for fear that something unexpected might happen. Fortunately, it landed safely.
"Arrived?" Ye Fenglan asked cautiously. Before I could answer, a light suddenly appeared behind me, and I turned back to see what appeared to be a door.
"Let's go." I said and stood up and walked to the door. The other three also stood up without saying a word.
The moment we walked in the door, a bright light flashed, and we had to close our eyes again, and when we opened our eyes, we were already standing in the hall on the first floor of the villa we had been standing in, and in front of us were the four future us.
"Let's go?" I coldly spat out a word.
"Let's go." "I" turned away, and the other three followed without saying a word. Looking at their expressions and listening to their tones, why do they seem to feel less "enthusiastic" than before? It can't be because their mission is almost complete. The four of us followed them up to the second floor, bewildered, to the end of the hallway we had been before. Because the other three blocked our view, and the corridor was so narrow, I couldn't see how "I" opened the wall.
Again, they walked straight in without hitting a punctuation mark. We still didn't see anything high-tech, because it was just a cave with a few lights hanging on the wall barely illuminating it. They led us forward, feeling only the endless darkness ahead.
Xia Mengyu on the right hand side had gently grabbed my right arm at some point. Scared? I raised my right hand and grabbed her directly, watching her nod softly. There was a little more trust and comfort in her eyes, and then she came closer to me.
We walked for some time until we finally stopped in front of a glass door. Through the glass door, you can see that it is dark inside, and the light here does not seem to shine through. "I" stepped forward and walked to the wall on the left, and then I saw that there was a button there, which must be the button to open the door.
Sure enough, as soon as "I" pressed the button, the glass door in front of me opened, and before I could see what was inside, I heard "Xia Mengyou" speak: "Go in." With that, the four of them moved out of the way to the left.
The four of us didn't get it. "You're not going?" Yun Feiyu couldn't help but ask.
Yun Feiyu shook his head, and then said, "Someone will pick you up when you get there." "The four of us are still slow to take a step.
"You go in and close your eyes, try to empty your brain, and try to be unconscious. When you open your eyes again, you are already in the future. "Ye Fenglan" explained.
How does this work? Time machine? Although I have some questions in my mind, I don't want to ask anymore, and it doesn't make much sense to ask. The other three seemed to think the same way, and none of them opened their mouths.
The four of us glanced at each other and walked inside. It's really dark inside, and it seems to be a very small autistic space. The four of us turned to face the future us again, the glass door closed, and they didn't make any moves, just looking at us. It was so dark that I could only see four figures outside the glass door.
Then I didn't think much more and closed my eyes. The whole process was quiet, and it seemed like you were really out of the sky. In the last sentence, I will say one more word to myself:
"In the future, I'm coming."
