Chapter 274: Seven Days

After a quiet day, night fell, and soon it was time to go to bed.

The apartment for two is only one bedroom and one living room, and in the small bedroom, two single beds are placed side by side, separated by a small light cabinet.

"Good night, brother."

"Good night, winter day."

The brother and sister who said goodnight to each other lay down in their respective beds, turned off the lamp, and the room fell into darkness. A moment later, there was the sound of soft, gentle breathing from the side, and Winter Day fell asleep.

But the summer night still had no intention of sleeping, and she looked at the ceiling in the darkness, as if thinking about something. After a while, the room sounded the sound of the quilt sliding, and Summer Night turned her head to find that "Winter Day" had already sat up.

"Where the hell is this? Who are you? I...... Who is this person? ”

Even if you don't turn on the lights, just listening to the tone, Summer Night knows that Winter Day has become the lord of the city.

To be more precise, it should be that the other party has detached herself from the role of Winter Day, and she will remember everything she has done as "Winter Day", but she will no longer take those experiences for granted.

"It's my memory and it's my dream. If you're referring to the scene, then this is Earth, and I'm Summer Night, a master's student who just got a job after graduation, and you're my sister. ”

“……”

"Don't understand what I'm talking about? Let me go into more detail......"

In the lightless room, Xia Ye told her story in a calm tone, she introduced the city lord to this world without witches and witch contracts, and told about her birth and growth with Dongyang until now.

The city lord listened quietly, and when the summer night was finished, she suddenly spoke:

“P-th-n-ss-m-Fl-m-m-”

It was the witch pronunciation of Witch Flame, but - of course no black flame appeared in her palm.

"As I said, there are no witch contracts in this world." Xia Ye's voice came, "Whether it's Ling or me, I'm afraid that my current combat power can't compare to the most ordinary witch in the lower district." ”

"So what does 'brother' mean? What's the difference between it and 'sister'? Does it have anything to do with what you just said, 'There are two sexes in the human species'? ”

"Yes, although they both mean relatively older offspring, the elder brother is male and the elder sister is female, and as for 'male' it refers to...... And 'female' refers to ......"

"What are 'computers' and 'chips'? If there are no witch contracts in this world, then what power are they driven by? ”

"It's complicated, so I can only talk about it briefly......"

The two asked and answered, and after a while, the city lord finally got a general understanding of the world in which he had lived on this summer night. What she saw in front of her, what Summer Night said, everything fit with each other, and she had to believe that this was indeed the other party's memories, not a made up lie.

But she still had questions.

"Why does your sister look exactly like me? Even the name? ”

"I don't know, that's my question as well." Summer Night said.

"What about you? How did you get to our world? ”

"In our world, there is a concept called 'crossing.'" "To put it simply, a person dies in the original world, and when he wakes up again, he has already arrived in another world, but he still retains his original personality and even memories. But it's just a fictional concept, it has never been proven, and even I can't be 100% sure that I 'crossed' to Debussota. ”

"And how did you die? in this world. ”

"I don't remember either, I've lost a lot of memories from before the time crossing, and I'm getting them back little by little, like this one - but I remember this memory for now, so I doubt ......"

Speaking of this, Xia Ye suddenly lost his words, and the city lord waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "What do you suspect?" ”

"I suspect this time, it's to help you get your memories back."

“…… Do you mean that I also crossed over? Whether in this world, or in Debussota, I am your sister? The city lord reacted, "But why don't I have the slightest memory of your world?" Also, if you are my sister, no matter what world you are in, who is the sister who grew up with me in Debussota? ”

"I don't know, Lord Castle." Summer Night Shakes His Head in the Dark:

"I'm not sure if you're my sister, and I don't know what connection that summer night has to do with me. Perhaps at the end of this memory, we can get some answers. So, no matter what, I will accompany you through this memory until the moment you die seven days later. ”

……

December 27, morning.

"Good morning, brother."

"Good morning, winter day."

When I woke up, the city lord had become winter day again.

Today is Monday, and after a quick breakfast, the siblings walked out of the house together and walked for about 10 minutes to the subway station near their home.

Here, for just 2 credits, everyone can take a state-of-the-art maglev train to any station within a 200km radius. The operating costs of maglev trains are of course much higher, so this can be seen as a benefit that APAC Power gives to all its citizens.

During rush hour, the carriage is so crowded that your feet are in the air, and the summer and winter nights skillfully occupy a corner, building a small territory for the two of them. Standing on the outside of Xia Ye, she remembers that when she was still her "elder brother", she was a head taller than Dong Tian, so as long as she supported the wall of the carriage with her hands, she could block the other party's squeezing from others.

But now, not only is her height almost exactly the same as Dong Tian, but her figure is even a few points thinner than the other party, and the pressure on her back came, and she was immediately squeezed on Dong Tian.

The bodies of the two are firmly attached to each other, like the cookies and cream sauce of Oreo sandwich cookies.

"Hmm......"

"Brother......

"Excuse me, I'll move ...... a little bit"

"No, it's okay for me......"

“……”

About half an hour later, I got off the bus first in the winter day, and continued to ride for twenty minutes in the summer night, and finally arrived at the stop where I got off the train.

Following the flow of people out of the subway station, she was immediately flooded with skyscrapers of different styles, which is the business district in the center of the city, and she works at one of these high-rise buildings, the Asia Pacific Power Building.

"Asia Pacific Power Group Co., Ltd." is the nominal and de facto ruler of the country, just as "Company Z" rules North America and the "United Chamber of Commerce" rules Europe.

Under the jurisdiction of APC, there are more than 15 million square kilometers of territory, more than 2 billion people, more than 30 fusion nuclear power plants, and hundreds of fission nuclear power plants; It has the most powerful industrial production capacity and the most powerful army on the planet. In this land, Asia Power is the only way to the pinnacle of power, with millions of resumes thrown into it every year and less than one percent of them are admitted.

After three rounds of written exams and three rounds of interviews, she managed to secure a position as an analyst — not at headquarters, of course, but at the Tokai Division, but even so, it was enough to outperform most people in the city, just by looking at the office location - the Asia Pacific Power Tower is not only located in the center of the city, but also in the city's height.

Summer Night still remembers the feeling of standing here, excited and apprehensive, dreaming that one day, I can have my own office above the 100th floor, sitting behind the large boss's desk every day, watching the traffic and people below through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

But she knew that her wish would never come true, or rather, in the way she imagined. Now that she saw this magnificent building again, she didn't have much to think about, and after looking up silently for a few seconds, she followed the flow of people into the building.

……

Time flies by in the hustle and blink of an eye, it's 8 p.m.

This is long past the "normal" end time, but in "Asia Pacific Power", it is normal to leave work at an abnormal time, so Summer Night still sits in his seat, pretending to be in a hurry to write his report.

- The report is actually already done, and it may be a bit difficult for a newcomer to the company, but it is just a familiar road for today's summer night.

The phone screen suddenly lights up, indicating that a new message has been received. I opened it on the summer night, and it was sent by the winter day:

"Brother, can I go home early tonight, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Summer Night knew what it was, and it was still here when it was supposed to come.

"Okay, I'll go back now." She replied.
