Chapter 568: The Cage in the Heart
In the edge of an asteroid, Xiao Qiangguang found an asteroid that was free on the edge, and this asteroid was extremely out of place in the edge area, giving people an inexplicable desolation and loneliness.
The asteroid seemed to have no orbit, and was silently suspended in the air, as if it had melted into the eternal darkness.
Elizabeth is close to the asteroid.
Holographic scans show that the asteroid is not round, but irregular, composed of two rugged peaks, in the middle of the peaks, is a small valley, in the valley there is a metal dome less than fifty meters in diameter, around the dome, there is a circle of small portholes, revealing a warm light.
According to the light brain calculation, the location of the asteroid peak should have a small docking dock, but what is presented to people is a mess, the dock has been completely destroyed, and only the dilapidated ruins remain.
Obviously, the owner of the asteroid did not want people from the outside world to disturb her, and destroyed all the passages with the outside world.
"There is no connection, there is no communication equipment on the asteroid." Xiao Qiangguang showed a trace of regret on his face.
"Liu Fei, I want to go up and have a look." Looking at the lonely asteroid, Chenchen's face showed a trace of sadness.
"Hmm."
Liu Fei nodded, inexplicably, his heart was unusually heavy, this feeling was indescribable.
Chenchen changed into a spacesuit, and Xiao Qiao clamored to go up and have a look, and also changed into a spacesuit.
Liu Fei held one in one hand and took the two of them to the asteroid, and when the three of them stepped on the asteroid, they felt gravity, obviously, there was a gravity generator on the asteroid.
This humble asteroid is made up of two steep peaks, and in the middle of the valley, an irregular path is carved out, which is narrow and not beautiful, and stretches towards the valley in a zigzag way.
The three of them walked about 500 meters, and the metal dome, which was almost invisible to the naked eye, appeared in front of them.
On the hologram, the metal dome looks clean and imposing, and the light from the portholes is also extremely warm. In fact, the dome in front of the three of them was covered with dust, and it looked like it had gone through endless years, and the light from the porthole was also extremely weak, and the cold light was so faint that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.
Next to the dome, next to the cliff, there is a small antimatter power chamber, which apparently provides energy for the dome.
Through the portholes, you can see the interior of the dome.
Inside the dome, there is a simple room, in addition to the life circulation system, there are bedrooms, there are halls, there are studies and bathrooms, there is no kitchen, however, there is a self-sufficiency cabin with an area of about 100 square meters, in which some vegetables and fruits and a small amount of grains are grown.
There is no doubt that this is a self-sufficient miniature space.
What made the three of them feel strange was that this dome was completely welded and sealed, and there was no passage to connect with the outside world, that is, the owner of the dome did not think of leaving here at all.
The three of them circled around the dome, and finally, in an empty room next to the cliff, they found Shu Rou.
Shu Rou was wearing a long white robe, wrapping her figure, and her waist-length long black hair formed a huge contrast with the white robe, forming a strong visual impact between black and white. In fact, not only Shu Rou is dressed in black and white, but the entire interior space of the dome is simple black and white, with white walls, black floors, no decorations and other colors, even some essential household items, are also composed of black and white.
The black and white style often gives people a bright feeling, but on this pitch-black asteroid, the black and white style gives people a cold and inexplicable oppression
Shu Rou stood in front of the porthole, closed her eyes and faced the cliff, her thin cheeks were extremely pale, and her figure, which should have been graceful, looked empty under the wide white robe, and from a distance, she looked as weak as a terminal illness.
Inexplicably, Liu Fei felt a tingling pain in his heart.
Time and space seem to be frozen.
As if sensing something, Shu Rou, who closed her eyes tightly, suddenly opened her eyes, and the moment she saw Liu Fei, two lines of tears flowed down from her cheeks without the slightest blemish, and her weak delicate body trembled uncontrollably.
"Liu Fei, take her away." Chen Chen gently tugged at Liu Fei's shirt.
Liu Fei nodded like a puppet.
"Little Joe, let's go back."
"I want to see—"
"Let's go back!" Chenchen said sharply.
"Ahh
Chenchen turned around and left first, Xiao Qiao paused, hesitated, and left with Chenchen, leaving Liu Fei like a stone carving.
The two stared at each other through the porthole.
One minute.
Ten minutes.
Fifty minutes.
Shu Rou's tears seemed to be dry, she just looked at Liu Fei quietly, with a rare trace of warmth on her face, obviously, she was reminiscing about the past years, recalling the days when she got along with a young boy-
Gradually, Liu Fei's mood calmed down.
Next, in front of Shu Rou, an amazing scene appeared.
Liu Fei slowly approached the porthole, like a liquid, squeezing in little by little, and the metal dome and glass porthole were not damaged at all, they were like elastic rubbers.
Under Shu Rou's shocked expression, Liu Fei's body appeared in the dome little by little.
Finally, Liu Fei stood in front of Shu Rou, and the portholes and metal behind him were miraculously intact.
"Please." Shu Rou recovered from the shock and turned to walk towards the other room.
Liu Fei didn't speak, and followed behind Shu Rou.
The two came to a spacious room, which was supposed to be designed as a living room, but the host didn't seem to have thought about entertaining guests at all, and the huge space seemed empty.
Shu Rou poured two cups of tea, and the air was filled with the aroma of tea, adding a warmth to this oppressive space.
"You may be seated."
Shu Rou sat cross-legged on the ground first, and Liu Fei also sat opposite Shu Rou according to the gourd painting.
"Drink tea, this is my own tea leaves, it's very fragrant."
"Well, it's fragrant." Liu Fei took a shallow taste and nodded.
"Are you alright?" Shu Rou looked at Liu Fei and asked softly.
"It's alright, what about you?"
"It's good, I like my life now." Shu Rou looked around and smiled lightly.
"Why?" Liu Fei's deep gaze stared at Shu Rou.
"No why." Shu Rou shook her head.
"Are you atoning for your sins?"
"Can we leave that out of that?" Shu Rou said softly.
"Well, come back with me." Liu Feidao.
"Going back with you?"
"Yes."
"Do you still love me?" Shu Rou's face showed a shy flush.
"I don't know." Liu Fei shook his head.
"Then you told me to go back with you?
"Maybe—"
"If you go back, will you marry me?" Shu Rou smiled.
"This—maybe—" Liu Fei's face ran with a fever.
"What about Chenchen?"
"She- she might have agreed-"
"But I won't say yes." Shu Rou looked at Liu Fei with clear eyes, as if she wanted to see through Liu Fei's internal organs, "I'm not an open-minded Chenchen, but a femme fatale." ”
Liu Fei didn't answer, and there was silence for a while.
In the empty room, you could hear a needle dropping, and the two looked at each other quietly.
"You can't stay here anyway." Liu Fei suddenly made up his mind and stood up suddenly.
"Liu Fei, don't use force, please keep the last bit of dignity for me." Shu Rou immediately realized what Liu Fei was going to do, and looked at Liu Fei beggingly.
Looking at Shu Rou's pleading eyes, Liu Fei's body shook and sat down.
"Liu Fei, thank you, thank you for allowing me to live with dignity." Seeing Liu Fei sit down, Shu Rou was already in tears.
"Why?" Liu Fei's voice was low, as if he was endlessly depressed.
"Liu Fei, you know, I know, you understand. Actually, I love you too, but that kind of love is not enough for me to give everything for you, including my dignity. Also, you have an endless life, and I, how many years do I have? I don't want to grow old in front of you, I don't want you to see my wrinkled face,"
"You can also cultivate the Gate of Evolution."
"No, for me, the longer I live, the more guilty I feel, and living has become a burden. Now I am trying to live, I just use my actions to tell the world that I Shurou is a strong woman, a woman who lives with dignity, not a woman who washes away shame with death. ”
"Why care about other people's opinions—" Liu Fei sighed.
"In this world, there are free and easy people, like you and Li Meng. And in this world, there is no shortage of people like me, who will never be able to get out of the cage in their hearts - okay, Liu Fei, don't convince me, I am Shu Rou, if I can't convince myself, I believe that no one in this world can convince me. Stay with me, like at Drow Mecha University--if you could turn back time--it's a pity--you can't turn back time-" Shu Rou had a lonely wry smile on her face.
Step back in time.
The two sat quietly, staring at each other, as if they had returned to those green years.
