CHAPTER XX
When dawn came, everyone woke up.
It seems that similar habits have been cultivated, and more and more tacit understanding with each other's existence.
Cheng Jiyun drove the car and drove on the road, the sky was overcast, and there was no trace of the sunrise. It seems that I am going back somewhere, and I am getting farther and farther away from the sun.
Lin Yan was the same as always, his cap obscured most of his expression, he didn't know what he was thinking, he just leaned quietly against the car door. Sunny behind him was much quieter than when he first met, and not long after he hit the road, he lay in the back seat of the car and closed his eyes.
"Did you sleep last night?" Cheng Jiyun asked, also testing whether Lin Yan was asleep.
"Nope." Lin Yan replied indifferently.
"Huh." Cheng Jiyun laughed, "I don't have either." ”
Lin Yan moved his body and found a more comfortable position.
"I feel like I've become an immortal." Cheng Jiyun said in a joking tone, "If you don't eat, you won't feel hungry, and now you won't feel sleepy even if you don't sleep, funny, right?" Hahaha. ”
Lin Yan was silent and did not respond.
"What about you?" Cheng Jiyun asked him.
"Same." Lin Yan turned his head out the window, seemingly unwilling to talk more about this kind of problem.
Cheng Jiyun glanced back at Sunny, who seemed to have slept soundly, but she didn't know if she was like them, in fact, she had never fallen into a deep sleep.
"You say, is she normal?" Cheng Jiyun asked in a low voice, and Lin Yan raised his head and glanced at him.
"That's not what I mean, I'm asking you, do you think she's the same as us?" Cheng Jiyun explained.
Lin Yan shook his head: "I don't know. ”
"Okay." Cheng Jiyun pursed her mouth, it seemed that Lin Yan was not interested in the questions she asked.
The car drove down an empty road, and it seemed as if the three of them were the only ones left in the world.
"Do you want to go back?" Cheng Jiyun's tone was disappointed.
"Go back?"
"yes." Cheng Jiyun sighed, "You know, the more you have no direction, the more you want to go back to the original place." This feeling is called 'falling leaves back to their roots'. ”
Lin Yan was still silent, but his fingers twitched inadvertently.
"Where are your two friends?" Cheng Jiyun asked.
Lin Yan's breathing slowed down, and he didn't know if he was thinking about his memories or unwilling to reveal more, so he just replied to him: "I don't know either." ”
"Haha, just like me." Cheng Jiyun used laughter to hide her emotions, "I don't know where my girlfriend has gone, but I always remember her contact information, and I feel like I can always find her again." ”
"What would you do if you found her?" Lin Yan asked.
"If you don't do anything, you can do whatever you want." He replied lightly, "I never boast about what I say about the sea alliance, after all, I haven't been able to protect her in the years I was away." Of course, she never had to be protected. ”
Speaking of Shi Wei, Cheng Jiyun began to talk endlessly.
"But, I just want to know how she's doing."
Lin Yan listened silently, and then looked at the backward scenery outside the car window: "Only by leaving here can you find her." ”
"Leave?" Cheng Jiyun heard this, and then giggled again, "Ah, I feel like I can't leave this ghost place!" ”
Lin Yan turned his head and glanced at Cheng Jiyun.
"How?" Cheng Jiyun laughed, "Don't you think we feel like we're trapped here?" ”
Lin Yan looked at him suspiciously.
"These landscapes, this road, seem to have no end, but in fact it takes us in circles." Cheng Jiyun pointed out the car window, "Those trees, those grasses, and even the cracks on the ground are repeated. ”
Lin Yan straightened up and asked in surprise, "What did you find?" ”
Cheng Jiyun shrugged his shoulders: "It's nothing, either I'm lost, or the world is lost, anyway, that's it." ”
"What about you...... Do you still know the way back? Lin Yan asked cautiously.
"Know, why don't you know?" Cheng Jiyun replied, "When you came, you left like this, isn't it different when you go back?" Unless I'm really stupid. ”
At that moment, Sunny in the back seat seemed to wake up, got up from his seat, and stretched.
She grinned and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
"Nothing." Lin Yan quickly finished answering and continued to look out the window.
On the contrary, Cheng Jiyun didn't care, he didn't want to deal with any problems with Sunny before, but now that's it.
"We're talking about when we can get out of here."
"Get out of here?" Sunny leaned in closer, "Are you crossing the border?" ”
"Boundary?" Cheng Jiyun laughed again, "Who knows if that ghost place is true or not." Besides, if the world is divided and people are divided into three, six, nine, and so on, then it is not something that people like me can go to. ”
"Why can't you go?" Sunny looked at him, "I think you're good." ”
"Okay?" Cheng Jiyun sneered, "Thank you." ”
Cheng Jiyun suddenly reversed direction, turned down from the road, and drove on a wasteland, preparing to go in a different direction.
"Where are you going?" Sunny asked.
"Does it matter where you go?" Cheng Jiyun asked, "Now the question is not where to go, but who to go with, hahaha." ”
Cheng Jiyun finally let it go and drove the car on the wasteland, seemingly satisfying what he wanted to do whatever he wanted.
"Why do you have to drive along the road? Since there is no direction, why not take an unusual path? Cheng Jiyun said with a smile, the expression on his face was much more relaxed, "Who knows where we will go, there is nowhere to go anyway." ”
Sunny sat in the back seat and didn't say a word. Look at the wasteland in front of you, like an endless ocean, already connected to the sky.
In this way, the three of them were silent in the car, like ants in a desolate world, crawling without a clue. Finally, it stopped in the earthy yellow world, with the messy wind and messy grass, helpless.
Cheng Jiyun sat in the car, looked at the boundless world in front of him, and slapped the car horn hard.
The sound of the horn resounded all around, but there was no response.
Cheng Jiyun opened the car door, stepped out of the car, and shouted to the sky on this land: "Fuck the world!" ”
How long has it been suppressed? Behold.
It's just that a kind of despair arises spontaneously, thinking that everything is over, just waiting for a new start, but it turns out that only I am waiting.
The world, the most desperate, is not destroyed, but not completely destroyed.
Lin Yan silently got out of the car, came to his side, and patted him on the shoulder: "I'll drive." ”
Cheng Jiyun looked back at Lin Yan, this guy was a stranger to him. He really didn't understand him, what he had done before, what he had been through...... However, he never interfered with who he was or what he did......
"You know what?" Cheng Jiyun looked at him, "I feel like I'm dead." ”
Lin Yan looked at him suspiciously: "Why do you say that?" ”
"I don't even feel it." Cheng Jiyun said, and he couldn't help laughing, "Have you counted?" How long has it been since we've eaten? I don't even need to drink a sip of water, so I don't feel it, it's not dead, what is it? ”
Lin Yan didn't speak, he wouldn't admit this.
"Don't you have an idea?" Cheng Jiyun asked.
"Smack." Lin Yan didn't make a sound, and Cheng Jiyun was slapped in the face.
"What are you doing!" Cheng Jiyun roared.
"Does it hurt?" Lin Yan asked.
"Nonsense!" Cheng Jiyun covered his face and said.
"Don't talk nonsense if it hurts." Lin Yan turned around and returned to the driver's seat, closed the door, "Get in the car!" ”
Cheng Jiyun was like an aggrieved little daughter-in-law, twisted a little, and still got into the car.
"We're all alive, don't think about that mess." Lin Yan started the car and said to Cheng Jiyun, "Little girls are not as hypocritical as you." ”
"What's wrong with me being hypocritical?" Cheng Jiyun asked.
"It doesn't matter what world this world is, it's not your world anyway."
Lin Yan's words surprised Cheng Jiyun.
"Not mine?"
"It's not yours." Lin Yan added, "You don't belong here." ”
"What the hell?"
Cheng Jiyun just wanted to ask something, but was suddenly pushed by Sunny: "Uncle, you have a really bad temper!" Take a break! ”
"What......" Cheng Jiyun glanced back at Sunny, her trademark smile was like hypnosis, making him sleepy all of a sudden.
"Cheng Jiyun, take a break, you're thinking too much!"
Sunny's sweet voice ended what he was looking for, and he felt only the body moving, but he was already asleep.
Is it because I didn't get a good night's sleep? Why did you fall asleep so easily this time?
Strangely, in the dream, there was a snow-white world, snow-white walls, and the sound of dripping in his ears, and before he could focus his eyes and take a good look at where he was, he suddenly woke up, as if he had just taken a nap.
The car was already driving on the road lined with lush trees, Lin Yan was driving, and Sunny was humming a little tune in the back seat.
"Look, there's a house over there!" Sunny said abruptly pointing ahead.
Cheng Jiyun looked out of the window and saw that there really was a white house at one end of the road. So Lin Yan sped up and drove forward, wanting to get there quickly.
Finally, as they got closer and closer to the white house, they realized that it was a commercial building.
The three got out of the car and looked up at the building.
"What is this place?" Cheng Jiyun muttered.
The other two didn't respond to him, but walked inside vigorously.
"Hey!" Cheng Jiyun shouted, "Why are you walking so fast?" Before they could respond, the two men had already walked inside the house.
What was this building in the past? Now all that remains is a white shell.
Cheng Jiyun looked up at the building, the white walls and transparent glass echoed each other, a sense of overlap between modernity and technology.
"What is this place?" Cheng Jiyun couldn't help but sigh, "It looks like a big company." ”
Sunny didn't care what the place was, but walked towards a place with a purpose.
"Where are you going?" Cheng Jiyun asked.
Sunny turned around and smiled at him, "Are you coming with me?" ”
Cheng Jiyun glanced at Lin Yan who was standing at the door, and he didn't seem to have any intention of following.
"Let's go with you." Lin Yan lowered his voice, and the brim of his hat had covered his eyes.
"Cheng Jiyun!" Sunny shouted again, "You come with me." ”
Cheng Jiyun asked impatiently, "Why are you going?" ”
"I'm looking for something useful." Sunny replied with a smile.
"Useful?" Cheng Jiyun glanced around, "This looks like a big company, it's not like a place where there will be useful things, let's change places." ”
Sunny stood there looking at him, as if waiting for his answer.
Suddenly, he just had a strange feeling that both of them were waiting to make a decision about where he should go.
"What are you two doing?" Cheng Jiyun smiled far-fetchedly, "Aren't we okay together?" ”
"I want to walk outside." Lin Yan said, turned around and walked out of here.
"Lin ......"
"Cheng Jiyun!" Sunny added, "Let's go and find the office building, there will be useful equipment!" ”
"Equipment?" Cheng Jiyun frowned, shouldn't this be what Lin Yan has been looking for? But this guy is not interested at all this time?
"You wait." Cheng Jiyun said, "I'll go to Lin Yan, he knows more about equipment......"
"Cheng Jiyun." Sunny shouted his name again, and this time the voice was much quieter than before, and it struck him strangely.
"Lin Yan, he's going to go back to Longzhen." Sunny said, "It's just the two of us. ”
"What the hell?" Cheng Jiyun was inexplicably uneasy by these words, "He wants to go back?" What are you going back for? ”
Just as they were talking, there was a sudden sound of a car outside the door, and when Cheng Jiyun ran out of the door, Lin Yan had already driven out of here.
"Lin Yan!" He shouted, even if Lin Yan could hear it, he wouldn't be doing anything at the moment.
"Cheng Jiyun ......" Sunny tugged at the corner of his clothes.
"What are you doing!" Cheng Jiyun shook off her hand angrily, "Have you two discussed it?" Help me bring it here? ”
Sunny blinked her big innocent eyes and said, "No, we agreed to let him go back." ”
"What about me?" Cheng Jiyun only felt that he was extremely angry, "I can also go back with him, I have nowhere to go, I can also choose!" ”
"Then why don't you choose to come with me?"
Cheng Jiyun was about to burst out of anger, but he couldn't get angry in the face of Sunny's innocent face. Because, he had no reason to accuse her, she never thought that Cheng Jiyun was a chic and free person, and she should have nothing to rely on or even go back.
However, she didn't know that hidden under his mask, he wanted to return to the heart, and wanted to rely on the warm feelings.
At the end of the day, they're strangers.
"Sunny, you don't know me, you don't know the real me." Cheng Jiyun repeated what he had said to her several times, "You can completely break away from me, maybe you will be qualified to go to another world, but I will not have such a possibility." ”
Sunny looked at him, surprisingly quiet, maybe she didn't figure out what he was saying, maybe she was just trying to answer the question, she was thinking.
"Remember where you started?"
