"Me, or You?"

sequence

"The connection is about to begin!"

In the dimly lit room with large equipment, there are two machines connected to helmets and electrocardiograms, and in front of them are white beds, on each bed are a teenager and a young girl. The electrocardiogram beats steadily, proving that the boy is still alive, but motionless, with a strange helmet on his head, covering his eyes, he looks a little thin, like a child of working people living in slums in Europe and the United States, he wears white short sleeves, bare shriveled but muscular arms, which makes people feel at first glance that he has been in a state of malnutrition for a long time. The girl, on the other hand, has long black and beautiful hair, a pair of bright and firm eyes, adorned with a beautiful face, and her skin is very fair but not delicate.

The weather is in the cold winter, the goose feather snow is drifting outside the window, and the cedar trees are piled up with a thick layer of white. However, there is no need to worry about the temperature suddenly getting cold, because the room is at a constant temperature, and the temperature indicator at the door flashes prominently, and the temperature can also be controlled from there.

A crowd gathered around the girl, who was awake and seemed to be about to put on her helmet for an earth-shattering operation, and from time to time people looked at the boy, barely able to see his still handsome face in the dim light. Looking at the electrocardiogram beating steadily, the chest is also rising and falling steadily, and the nutrition hanging bottle is still flowing smoothly, I reluctantly retracted my gaze and nodded to encourage each other.

"The energy is sufficient, the equipment is functioning properly, and the system is detecting correctly. A muscular man reported to the woman with glasses, the woman nodded, and told the girl sitting on the bed, "Prepare Lingyun, this is a bad luck, you must bring him back safely, and keep yourself safe......!" Don't be tough when you meet them, even in the imaginary world, they are as powerful as reality!"

The woman's dark eyes were rendered more obvious in the dim light, and her lips could not hide her haggard even if she was smeared with radiant lipstick, and it was obvious that she had been working hard for a long time.

"Well, got it. She looked at the young man sleeping beside her, then turned her face to look at the woman, "Don't worry, I'll try." ”

The woman said no more, only nodded back with an encouraging and determined look, and then she slowly sat down on the stool beside her, closed her eyes, rubbed her temples, and finally looked a little more relaxed in her nervous expression. Several young people and uncles on the side also gave encouraging eyes. She was still smiling just now, but she couldn't help but moisten her eyes at this moment.

"Come on!" shouted in unison, dozens of smiling faces.

Although she also wanted to return her gaze with a determined victory, her consciousness became blurry, her eyes closed in a hurry, and she began to shuttle through the other dimensional space......

One

Outside the window, the pale yellow moonlight that is as clear as a spring is like a light gauze scarf. The boy reached out to touch it, but it was a cold tile.

"Alas~ insomnia. The person who spoke was called Mucar, and he struggled, got up from the head of the bed, stared at the heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his left eyelid still beat violently from time to time, like a ghost who had not closed his eyes for a hundred years.

The young man looked at the bright moon, thinking about life, full of sorrow, but unfortunately there was no wine to drink......

I always felt like something was missing.

He walked to the windowsill and closed his eyes, feeling the temperature of the moonlight as the breeze blew in his hair. Out of nowhere, a long old elegy was heard, and the sad tune was like the feather of a lonely bird trapped in a blizzard in the dead of winter, and the strings of the wind and snow broke the feather sadly, and fell to the surface of the lake that was already raging.

The elegy stopped suddenly, just like the feather just entering the Taojiang River and suddenly frozen, which made him suffocate in an instant, and his heart suddenly ached.

When I was struggling with how to alleviate it, I suddenly felt a teasing feeling of being gently touched on my face, which was itchy but comfortable. Suddenly, he was stunned, what was it that relieved him from the pain, and after thinking about the surrounding situation for a while, he guessed that the curtains were doing the trick.

But it's a bit like a human hand......

"Hey boy, do you feel like you're missing something?"

The sudden sound startled him, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and the sight before him threw all his thoughts away, and the owner of the voice had the same face as his!

"What the hell, like you've seen a ghost. The guy sneered and mocked him, but wasn't it? In the middle of the night, he suddenly saw a person who looked exactly like himself, what the hell could it be? He calmed down, letting his brain rac, contemplating possibilities.

"Who are you?" Before the words fell, he saw the woodcut frowning and suddenly closed the window, but "he" seemed to be able to guess what the woodcut was thinking, and reached out in time to block the moving window.

The woodcut exhausted all his strength, but the window did not move, and the two were at a stalemate, and the balance that the teacher had demonstrated in class was being staged at this time.

"Wait! Clever you should be able to guess. ”

"Is even the arm strength the same?" thought to the woodcut, and suddenly a bold guess popped into his mind. "Could it be that 'he' me?"

"Bingo!"

"He" smiled slightly, even the dimples that were exposed were exactly the same. "I am you, you are me!" and then narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding a shining firmness and sincerity.

How does he know what's going on in my heart?

"Why should I trust you?"

Because the world is so big, there are no wonders. Perhaps a terrifying conspiracy lurks around him, or perhaps he has inadvertently touched the key to a certain world...... Maybe the next road is long and full of crises, and the straight and ordinary life in front of him will be far away from him. But he didn't have the slightest fear, on the contrary, he was a little excited for some reason.

A warm smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and the bright, big-eyed people and animals looked at him harmlessly, not in a hurry. "Don't be in a hurry to trust me, because you'll understand. "He" exhaled softly, and the woodcut immediately felt sleepy, and after a while, his body naturally relaxed, and he collapsed to the ground, interrupting his consciousness in a daze.

A few translucent crystal beads fell from the window, hitting the countertop, shattering and emitting a variety of soft lights.

"He" is like a bright moon breeze that is not hindered by the security window and passes through a small space. did not incarnate as a ghost in the movie, but with a gratified face, like visiting an old friend who had sworn together as a child, caressing his cheeks, with the warm flow of the Milky Way soft waves in his eyes, and the sparkling starlight undulating and rippling, "It's still the same, it hasn't changed!" suddenly became a slightly trembling voice, and said excitedly: "Half of your and my wishes have been fulfilled, and the rest will be left to me to help you complete it! Good dream, good night." ”

"Where did the elegy come from, who sang it, and what ...... is this boy who is similar to me?"

One

Jingle bell~

The alarm clock woke him up and he got out of bed, his head aching.

Pushing the quilt away, he looked around, everything was normal.

"Looks like I had a strange dream. ”

Coming to the window and remembering what happened in the dream felt too real.

And so on, the position of the window stagnation is impartial, which coincides with the memory. Don't...... No, no, I must be too tired and have a delusion.

After thinking about it repeatedly, combined with the position where he woke up, he was more determined to confirm that the memory of last night was a dream.

It seems that you have to get a good night's sleep, and dreaming is not a good thing.

"Did you sleep well? ”

A familiar voice came to my ears.

"Thanks to you, everything is fine...... Eh, why are you? You're here?!" Woodcut looked at "him" sitting lazily in front of the computer desk in surprise, and the real self would never make such an uncivilized action, but now it is 4D real people in front of him, making him have a sense of realistic disobedience and strong visual impact.

There is a feeling of being ruined......

"Why not me? Where can I go if I'm not here?"

He jumped up from the boss's chair and tilted his head in reply. The expression on his face was as if he was mocking him for asking some stupid question.

"He" replied so that he couldn't refute...... "Mumu, it's a wave for breakfast, mom wants to come in!" Before he could ask urgently, there was a sharp knock at the door, which made him overwhelmed.

"Hide, stupid!"

The woodcut scolded and stuffed "him" under the bed, and on the way, "he" resisted, and was ruthlessly ignored by him.

"What are the family hiding? "Before he died, he wanted to arch his head out, and the scene was very funny.

"Don't talk nonsense!" he glared at "him" fiercely, and "he" shrank in with interest, but his mouth was unforgiving: "Masochism!"

"Oh, come in. With that, the mother pushed the door in, and the woodcut stepped on the outstretched hand of "his", and the bed was slammed.

"It's Monday, so remember to wear your uniform. Mom handed him the folded clothes and the morning, and was immediately attracted by the sound under the bed. "What happened just now?"

"Oh~ That's what I just ...... I accidentally touched it, yes, I accidentally touched it. He quickly explained.

Although there were many loopholes, Mucar's mother didn't care, and told him to be careful on the way to school and left.

"What the hell, you! almost exposed!" Woodcut blamed "him" for his recklessness.

"It's not because you stepped on my ......"

"Who told you to stretch out your hand?"

Looking at the woodcut of "his" grievance, I don't know what to say.

"By the way, I almost forgot! Tell me, who are you?" he looked down at him with his hands on his hips, like an official interrogating a prisoner in a public court in an ancient drama.

"He" pursed his lips, looking a little innocent, and said, "Didn't you say it, I am you." Then he whispered, "Come and save your ......," and "You can call me Muke, Mukeke." ”

"Let's explain, what's the matter with 'come to save you!'" He crossed his arms and crossed his chest, stepping in front of the man who claimed to be Mu Ke, and his cold and arrogant face was raised high, looking down on the "prisoner".

"Hmm...... It's literal......" Mu Ke swallowed his saliva violently, is this playing some kind of shameful play? The heart instantly appeared, this leg he can play for a year, "Hehe, don't care about these details!" Mu Ke hurriedly looked out the window and whistled very clichΓ©dly, "he" didn't notice it, and a little heaviness flashed in his eyes in an instant.

"Such a rotten, you also want to perfunctory me. Tell me honestly!"

"Hey, this can't fool you, it's a smart person. To be honest, that year, the sky was gloomy, and it was pouring rain outside the window, and you operated a high-speed particle collision separator using the latest technology and the most perfect method to input separation data, and in a super machine, I was born. Mu Ke blinked, as if to say, "Reluctantly, who called you my enemy", and then told the truth that sounded very false. The woodcarving seems to have done something sad to force the good to become a prostitute.

"Oh~ So you and I were created?"

"Yes, he is a smart man, he understands everything. ”

The woodcut apparently questioned the absurdity of the claim: "How do you feel like my IQ has been insulted?"

"Hey, no, it's a real compliment!" the woodcut waved his hand.

"Oh, yes, how did I suddenly find out you're cute?

"No, no, I'm not cute at all!"

Despite talking about such a serious topic, the two still scuffled together without reducing their friendship, and the scene was very fragrant.

"Mumu, I'm going to be late for school. Mom urged at the door.

"Ah, I see, Mom. ”

looked at the clock on the wall, it was too late, so he glared at Mu Ke, and the two of them loosened their intertwined limbs very tacitly, and hurriedly sorted out the housekeeping.

"What's wrong with this child, I usually go to school so early that I don't even want my mother, but today is good, and I get up late and rely on the house...... Wait, the baby is 16 today, is it ...... That's right, boys have reached puberty, and they are full of vitality! Hey, you should understand, you should understand. The child has really grown up, and he shows off to the baby and his father......"

Mother's "impassioned statement" embarrassed the woodcut, and the culprit who looked exactly like him snickered silently on the side, if he wanted to describe it, then it only took two words - underwhelming!

"You...... I can laugh!"

The woodcut was so angry that his face was red and he was smoking, but the guy who was not beaten still did not change his face...... sneered, there is this guy in the chicken dog is not at peace, in front of this guy is really easy to get angry, it is simply an improved version of himself...... No, it's a scumbag perverted version!

"Ahem, stop laughing. Mu Ke began to be serious, and for the first time, his serious expression found a sense of disobedience on "him" (his) face.

It really ruined his image in an instant.

"Alas~" He sighed with a sad face, looking like a down-and-out poet, and said with a bitter smile: "God sent you to fix me, right?"

When he heard this, he looked at him with a surprised face, and then shook his head violently with an expression of "Ahhhhh

"Sure enough......"

"Joking ......," the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly appeared, empty but fleeting, and his gaze was faintly dim. Seeing it in his eyes, he unconsciously frowned slightly, he wanted to continue asking, but he was afraid of touching the reverse scales that Mu Ke desperately hid and didn't want to be seen. He only asked in a soft tone, "What?"

Mu Ke's mouth was slightly open, and he wanted to stop talking, as if he noticed his gaze, so he stiffly pulled out a bright smile and said playfully, "...... Oh no, don't worry, how can I be willing to fix you? Heaven just sent me to destroy you!"

β€œ......”

There was no unexpected fight, but once again fell into embarrassment and speechlessness. After a long silence, Mu Ke finally said something that seemed to be irrelevant: "But Mom still looks so young!" After speaking, he smiled at him, and when he laughed, his eyes suddenly returned to an unusually calm state, staring out the window intently.

"It seems that this is true when you say this" Although the woodcut did not understand the meaning of the sentence and where the turning point was, he also followed Mu Ke's gaze, so he was stunned by the distant scenery, as if everyone was unsurpassable on the paper with a faint sunset red smoke cloud, surrounding the blue and purple, tearing through the dim sky, and couldn't help but burst out of a mood in his heart, which was called hope. Perhaps he used the wrong noun to describe the "master" who paints in the sky, naturally he is a painter who cannot be surpassed, and people are just imitating her, but then he wants to find some more accurate words, but he is attracted by this mood and beauty and has no time to estimate, and an emotion that does not belong to him is spontaneously born. He subconsciously looked at Mu Ke, but Mu Ke's intention at this time was not in the beautiful scenery, although his eyes were trembling, his heart no longer knew where to fly, it turned out that he was also worried!

"Who are you thinking?" asked the woodcut cautiously, for fear of touching his sensitive place again.

"It's fine. ”

β€œ......”

After another moment of silence, Mu Ke turned his face and asked, "Have you ever wondered if this world is real?"

Although the woodcut has been very mad about the problem of not knowing what it means, and intends to re-recognize himself in front of him like the old man, but he is still shocked by this face that laughs at the beginning and somehow changes his temperament, at this moment the complexity of his face is beyond his peers and even ordinary adults' emotions, in the calm contains turbulent waves, a thousand gold burdens, just like an old man who has experienced a shocking catastrophe, that kind of complexity is to look down on all the ups and downs of the world, as if carrying the expectations and long-cherished wishes of tens of millions of people to survive, so that he unconsciously awe!

β€œ...... Well, there have been ...... of "he has struggled to find the words like a baby stumbling like a baby, "we have experienced it...... There is hypocrisy at every moment, and the world ...... Perhaps, perhaps, it is hypocrisy...... Whether it's pain or happiness, it doesn't always work out...... But this is the world! It is both real and false, the real is the earth and the sky, and the false is the human heart......."

"There is some truth in what you say, but the world is also unexpected, and sometimes, the real is the same as the hypocrisy, just like the present and the future. After speaking, Mu Ke gradually disappeared into the space, "Okay, go to school happily, you will understand in the future!"

The woodcut stood in the empty room, the things sealed in his heart seemed to be pulled by something, and the frozen shell seemed to be quietly melting...... He didn't know if this mood was his own, but he felt that everything came too suddenly...... "Woodcut, are you dead?" Finally woke him up, as if in a dream, he hurriedly answered, grabbed his schoolbag and went downstairs, repeating the daily and ordinary road to school, but the difference was that the scene around him suddenly became unfamiliar......
