(Foreword)

The vast universe, the endless you, the endless me.

The eternity of time, the separated you, the separated her.

I sat at the log table and looked at the clock on the wall.

"Char, what are you thinking? His face was full of sorrow. Arthur sat down next to me and placed a wild orange in front of me.

"Give. I picked it outside. ”

I stared carefully at the wild orange in front of me, and thought to myself: It's this wild orange again, Zhou Qiuxian didn't give me a good face for most of the month because of this orange before, and I can't make the same mistake again this time.

"Arthur, where is this orange~ Someone will come to eat it later, and it's a big gluttonous pig, don't you believe it? You see. I smiled mysteriously, and watched with Arthur as Zhou Qiuxian walked over slowly holding his head.

"Huh? Tangerine? It just so happened that I was thirsty. Zhou Qiuxian picked up the wild orange on the table, pulled out the skin, and swallowed it in one gulp.

She ...... She...... Did she really eat it?! Arthur looked at my face in surprise, and then secretly laughed, "She really looks like a big gluttonous pig when she eats." ”

I smiled without saying a word, stood up triumphantly, hummed a little tune, and walked to my room.

June 2, 2050 at 19:10 p.m

The four of us sat around the log table, and Zhou Qiuxian brought roast rabbit meat from outside and put a few wild oranges on the way.

I, shaking my head, watched Zhou Qiuxian swallow the oranges like a greedy cat, picked up the rabbit meat with chopsticks, watched the play, and stuffed it into his mouth.

One night, Zhou Qiuxian sat next to me and watched me play deck cards with the other three.

This time I'm different from before, I already know what cards Xiaoyu will play, so I naturally suppressed her.

Even though it felt like cheating, the sense of accomplishment of winning still carried me away, and I won game after game.

"Ah~~~! Lost again. I didn't expect that Char was a master of playing cards! ”

Arthur lowered his head, looked unwilling, and continued with a muttered mouth:

"Come again! I don't believe I can't beat you! ”

I looked at Arthur, then at the dejected drizzle on the other side, threw the cards in front of them, and accepted Arthur's challenge. Continued to start the next round.

In this way, we played from 19 o'clock to 23 o'clock, and they finally couldn't bear to sleep, and Wu Han left the log table one by one.

"Hey, don't go."

"Come on, you're so strong, I don't want to waste my strength. I'm going to sleep first. Wu Han yawned, scratched his head, and walked towards the stairs. He was followed by Arthur and Xiaoyu, and as soon as he left, they also walked upstairs like ass, leaving me alone to sit here holding the cards.

"This is how it ends...... I held my card aloft, glanced at it, and put it down gently. I'm not playing anymore. ”

I walked slowly upstairs, opened the door to the innermost room on the second floor, and lay on the bed with my eyes open, waiting for Yin Ji to come.

0:00 on June 3, 2050

The wind blew violently, rattling the wooden window. I, standing up, walked in the direction of the window.

Her blood-red eyes reappeared in front of me, and her hair fluttered in the wind as if it were blowing in front of me.

"I've been waiting for you for another day, and that's a long time."

Yin Ji smiled, covering her face with her long sleeves, and then asked, "What are you waiting for me to do?" Did you finish the last question and want to ask it again? ”

"That's nature."

My straightforward answer embarrassed Yin Ji for a moment, only to see her cough twice, clear her throat, and continue: "That...... In that case, you can ask, and I will answer truthfully. ”

I looked at Yin Ji and then at the blood coral on her head—the coral was crystal clear and glowed red, like some kind of crystal.

I asked her, "Who are you?" Where did it come from? And why did you find me and keep me looking for The X?"

My question seemed to poke at the sore spot of Yin Ji, but she lowered her head, a trace of sadness suddenly drifted through her eyes, and replied: "The X, originally not called The X, she does not belong to this world, this plane, this earth like me, and she has no name. We come from an infinite universe, and tens of thousands of years ago we fell into a glacier due to the failure of "BS", and since then we have been sleeping on the Arctic glacier as two mummies embracing each other. Originally, we were supposed to sleep on the Arctic glacier forever, undisturbed by the outside world, but that year we were discovered by a scientific expedition that year, and she was transported to the undersea laboratory, and I was used as a 'particle explosion'.

I don't know how to describe her and me in detail, so let's just call it by your human name

- 'Humanoid Quantum Crystal Manifestation'. ”

"'Humanoid Quantum Crystal Manifestation'......" I repeated Yin Hime's words over and over again.

In other words, they are not human beings, but another substance, or another creature.

I looked at Yin Ji carefully, and she in front of me, judging from her appearance alone, was obviously no different from us, but our essence was very different, and even the age spanned 10,000 years.

"That's me, that's her." Yin Ji smiled slightly, and was about to reach out to touch my face, but the wind blew again, rolling up the fallen leaves outside the window, obscuring my eyes. When I opened my eyes again, Yin Ji disappeared in front of my eyes as if she had never appeared.

I fell on the bed, thinking back to Yin Ji's words, and in my dream I seemed to see the Arctic glacier and the girl in red dressed in red in the glacier.

June 3, 2050 at 10:45 a.m

I, sitting in the living room, looked at the old radio in my hand, and then looked at the fireplace that hid the switch to turn on the secret room in the basement.

"If you don't have matching parts, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to fix." Yu Bo walked up to me at some point, looked at the old-fashioned radio in my hand and said.

I looked at Yu Bo's face, and an evil thought suddenly appeared in my heart, and the corners of my mouth raised, and I said to him:

"Matching parts? Maybe it's in this room. Maybe we can just look around and find one or two secret rooms in this room, and in that secret room there may be parts that match this radio. As I spoke, I stood up and walked up and down the living room, looking here and there, and slowly walking towards the fireplace.

"What are you doing? So busy...... "Arthur, walked over, glanced at Yu Bo and then at me, and asked him.

"Char is looking for a secret room." Yu Bo replied.

"Looking for a secret room? It's fun, count me in. Arthur laughed and got ahead of me, and walked to the fireplace, knocking and bumping, as if he was having fun.

Only to hear a "click" sound, a passage opened at her feet.

"Is there really a secret room?" Yu Bo said to himself.

Arthur smiled shyly, as shy as a little girl who had received a compliment, and stole a few glances at me.

"Since there really is a secret room, there should be parts to replace the radio." I walked to the aisle without a hurry and walked down.

"What to do? He's going down, so let's go down and have a look, right? ”

Yu Bo followed Arthur and walked with her into the underground passage.

"Huh."

The candles lit all around, and I walked leisurely to the front, while the two of them walked cautiously and cautiously, through a narrow passage to a dark basement.

I reached out and turned the candlestick closest to the door, and the dark basement suddenly became brightly lit, revealing its most horrible original appearance.

Arthur grabbed Yu Bo's arm, which was closest to her, his body trembled, and said, "I think this place is a bit evil, let's go back quickly, don't go any further." ”

"Don't be afraid, there's nothing here. Now that you've discovered this place, how can you get out so quickly? Yu Bo said as he opened the first cell on his right hand and walked in. And I followed Yu Bo and slowly walked into the cell.

I stood in the doorway and watched him walk slowly to the handcuffed wall. Then he suddenly pressed his two hands against the wall and cuffed them.

"Char, you bastard! You actually handcuffed me, why don't you let me go quickly! Yu Bo shouted at me, but I swapped my head with him last time, and said in a cold tone, "I want to lock you here forever, so you can't do bad things." ”

Yu Bo was stunned for two seconds, but I laughed out loud and stole his last words:

"Ah, Yu Bo, I'm joking with you. You see your expression is so serious. ”

"Alright, no kidding. Hurry up and let me go. ”

He knew in his heart that there would be a key here.

I suddenly felt bored, grabbed a 01A keychain and walked over to him.

"You're so handy, you just took one and knew it was the key to my handcuffs." Yu Bo looked into my eyes with a sharp gaze, as if he had seen through my whole person, leaving no room for it.

I didn't answer him, but naturally looked at Xiaoyu standing at the door and Arthur, who was gradually coming back to his senses.

Arthur looked at us and then at Xiaoyu, half-squatted down, and gently stroked her head:

"Xiaoyu, why did you come with you? Is there something going on? ”

"Woo~Woo~Woo~"

Xiaoyu made a sound and gestured.

"You mean a few other people are looking for us?"

Xiaoyu nodded.

Arthur took Xiaoyu's hand and said to us, "Let's get out quickly, the others are looking for us." ”

I suddenly crouched down and looked at the box on the ground, ran to another cell, took an axe, and slashed hard at the lock on the green box, and the chain broke.

I opened the box, and it contained parts for the radio.

Yu Bo glanced at the parts in the box, and was not surprised, but continued: "Since your parts have been found, let's hurry up." ”

He should have been here for the first time, but why didn't he react at all as if he had known about this box for a long time.

Could it be that he had arranged all this a long time ago?

I thought alone and followed them to the ground.

"It's amazing that you can still find this secret room." Wu Han stood beside the passage and handed over his hand to Arthur.

"It's terrifying down here, but it's good you didn't go down." Arthur glanced down the tunnel and shuddered.

"Oh, is it? Then I'd like to go down and have a look. Wu Han said with a smile.

"You want to go down and have a look?! There are all kinds of torture instruments in there. A glint flashed in Wu Han's eyes.

June 3, 2050 at 11:17 a.m

"You've finally come out, let's play a game of can-kicking."

Kicking the jar again...... I glanced at Zhou Qiuxian helplessly, the corners of my mouth twitched, and I looked at everyone.

I originally thought that there should be people other than me who would oppose it, but I didn't expect that they all raised their hands in favor of Zhou Qiuxian's proposal one by one.

Zhou Qiuxian continued: "This game is called kicking the jar. The rules are as follows: among several of us, one person is selected by lottery to be a ghost, of course, the others do not know, only he himself knows that he is a ghost, he wants to catch others, and the person who is caught will become a ghost, and the person who is caught by the ghost will naturally become a ghost, and so on. Those who are not turned into ghosts will only win if they kick the jar. ”

I've known her rules for a long time, but she shouldn't hate me in this world, so I shouldn't smoke ghosts.

Thinking like this, I walked in front of Zhou Qiuxian with peace of mind, quickly pulled out a note and pinched it in my hand. I took a sneak look, and it turned out to be a "ghost" word.

God, you're playing with me! Why am I still a ghost?

I looked at Zhou Qiuxian, she lowered her head shyly, and she blushed.

No way? Is that okay too?

As I thought so, she coughed twice and said to us, "Okay, now everyone close your eyes and turn around, the ghosts have to count to 100 before they can start catching people, and the others are going to hide themselves from the ghosts during this time." ”

We closed our eyes together according to Zhou Qiuxian's instructions, turned our backs, and counted 100 in our hearts.

“…… 97, 98, 99, 100, arrived. ”

I opened my eyes and looked around: there was no one.

"Bang dang."

There was a noise coming from inside the toilet.

Hey, it's a light rain.

I walked to the toilet and pushed open the door with a "poof", looked at the light rain curled up inside, and grabbed her arm.

"Got you."

Xiaoyu stood up with a "whin" and walked out with me. I wrote the directions of the other people on her hand, and then I lazily walked up the stairs on the second floor and waited for Zhao Xie to appear in front of me.

"I've become a ghost too, so I'll catch it with you."

I sighed, patted Zhao Xie on the shoulder, and said to him, "Brother, don't pretend anymore, I already know that you are not a ghost." And you've been caught by me now. ”

"What? Did you see through it? Where did I find a flaw? Zhao Xie hugged his head with a look of disbelief, and followed behind me dejectedly.

I yawned and walked into my room casually, lifted the sheet that covered the bed, and looked at Zhou Qiuxian lying under the bed.

"Don't hey, come out quickly."

Zhou Qiuxian pursed his lips in embarrassment and walked out by himself. I slapped her on the shoulder and yawned again.

Just then, there was a sound of kicking a jar from downstairs.

I sighed and walked down with the two of them.

Xiaoyu, Arthur, Yu Bo, and Wu Han stood there looking at the jar lying on the ground together, and turned their heads to look at me.

"Don't look at it, we're all here, no one will kick it." I explained to them.

"Didn't someone from your side kick it?" They looked at me in horror.

"No, it did it on its own."

"Yourself...... Kinetic. Arthur's pupils widened, and he shivered as he looked at the jar.

"Maybe it's blown by the wind, let's not scare ourselves." Yu Bo stood up and comforted us.

"Yes, it must be that! ...... in this world ...... in this world Where there will be ghosts. Arthur's lips turned white, and he muttered to himself.

"Alright, alright, then this game will end with me winning." I just clapped my hands and said this.

This canister kicking contest ended with my victory, and I don't think about who kicked the jar at the time or if it was really the wind that knocked the jar over, maybe it was Yin Ji.
