Today was supposed to be a day of my routine vacation, sleeping in, making instant noodles for breakfast, and receiving a routine mIv (metamorphosis; infection; Variation; variation) comprehensive inspection ...... Originally, I had planned it this way, but my body still didn't obey and pulled me out of bed at six o'clock.

I just felt like my heart was beating, "Is there something going on......"

I changed into a comfortable suit and walked down the hallway, ready to go to the staff cafeteria to cope with my stomach.

Walking through the crowd of people coming and going, a familiar figure suddenly caught my attention, not only because of her relatively tall figure and beautiful appearance, but more importantly, the red eyes in her eye sockets that glistened with blood like mine.

This person is Ada, Loki's girlfriend. She looked very confused and confused at the moment, and kept talking to the people passing by, and the guys all looked at Ada with a strange look, and hurried away.

I knew I had to help her, and I thought as I made my way through the crowd to her.

Ada recognized me walking towards her at a glance, and shouted excitedly again, "Devona?!" You...... Do you still recognize ......?"

"Shh......hhh I put my arm around her shoulders and whispered to her.

Ida was a very smart woman, and she quickly understood what I meant, and I took her by the arm and slowly pulled her out of the crowd and through the dormitory. During this time, Ida also remained silent intellectually and did not ask me questions.

We were soon walking through the corridors back to my dorm room and closing the door.

"Whew......," I breathed a sigh of relief, and then pointed to the stool in front of the dresser and said politely to Ida, "Sit down, you're welcome." ”

Seeing my reaction, the anxious look on Ada's face gradually dissipated, and she combed her short hair slightly and pulled over the bench and sat down.

"Would you like something to drink? Coffee or tea? I asked her with a smile.

"Tea." Ida said a little shyly, "I'm sorry, I'm really sleepy right now, and I'm not in good spirits." ”

"It's okay." I pulled the mat from the bed and served as a table and placed two cups of brewed tea in front of her. Ida picked up her cup and took a sip.

"Devna, good sister, what the hell is going on?" After regaining some of her spirits, she asked me with a sad face, "All I remember is that I was dealing with a guy who broke into the company and was wearing a suit, and he shot me......"

"And you're here?" I said unhurriedly as I sipped my tea.

"Ah...... Well. "I also had a dream that I was locked in a green jar with a figure in front of me......

"Is it Angela? That AI. ”

"That's right! But how do you know? ”

"Because it's not a dream." I put down the teacup, stared into her eyes and said, "If you think about it carefully, do you have many similar memories?" There's some danger you can't handle, and then everything starts all over again, like a ......," I said, holding out my index finger and drawing circles in the air.

"Loop?!" Ada, who suddenly came to her senses, said in shock.

"Well, loop." I picked up my glass and took another sip, "Everyone here is going through this, going back to the first day here, and the cycle goes on and on. I interrupted Ada, who seemed to be about to say something, and continued, "But we are special, only we are endowed with memories of the past, and ......" I pointed to my eyes, "blood-colored pupils. ”

Ida seemed to understand something, but a new question arose: "Then why did you do this, and why are we again?" ”

I couldn't answer the question, "I don't know, I'm looking for an answer." I said, putting down the teacup, getting up behind Ada, and stroking her ear.

Ida was puzzled: "Daphna, you ......"

"Click......" With a slight mechanical sound, Adamden froze in place. This is the control button of your memory storage manager. I said, "It doesn't seem like you need to recharge, make good use of it." ”

Her eyes widened in realization, and she smiled and nodded to me, "Thank you, sister." ”

"Speaking of which, didn't your minister look for you?" I said as I poured my tea from an empty cup.

"Ah...... It doesn't seem to be. Ida frowned and said, "But I found a transfer letter signed by Minister Yesod at the bedside: I was told to transfer to the Ministry of Intelligence. ”

"Ministry of Intelligence?!" I thought to myself, is this why Loki was so abnormal yesterday? I thought to myself, standing still.

"That's right, sister." Ida suddenly asked me, "You...... Have you met Loki? Is he okay now? ”

I froze, not knowing how to answer, "Ah...... He. Well! Yes, he's fine now. But I quickly came to my senses, and after a little thought, decided to tell her the truth:

He ...... He is now an elite member of the Intelligence Department's containment team. I took a deep breath: "And he's just like us...... It is also a 'returnee'. As I spoke, I pointed to my eyes.

Ida immediately turned to joy when she heard this, "Really?! Great, I went to see him right away. She said, immediately intending to get up, "Daphna, do you know his current house number?" ”

"Ah...... Well. I reluctantly agreed.

"Great! Tell me where it is. Ida seemed more excited, and her eyes lit up.

"This ...... Well, this one. My mind raced, and I finally came to my senses: "By the way, sister, why don't I take you to him!" I suddenly took her hand and said, "But it's not good that you're so disheveled, why don't you dress up with me before you go!" ”

"That's right!" Ada snapped up, "Is it really possible?" ”

"Well, no problem, you can use it here." When I saw her react like this, I breathed a sigh of relief and found an excuse to sneak out of the dormitory.

Unlike me and Gregory, Loki and Ada were a couple before they came here, and are said to have confirmed their relationship back in college. In the company, the two who have long been out of love show great restraint in front of others, but the intimate relationship and soul union have also been fully tested in countless cycles, and they often support each other in times of danger...... And more than once martyred for love. One of them has expressed to me more than once that they want to get married in the L nest after half a year's work, and all of this is really embarrassing from today's perspective.

Coming from the control department, I was quite nimble on my legs, and it didn't take long for me to run to the door of Loki's dormitory, slam on the door gently, and wait.

Loki was awake, but his face was even more haggard than yesterday, his dark circles had deepened, his clothes were disheveled, his hair was disheveled, and it was clear that he still hadn't recovered from his long-lasting gaffe. As soon as he saw me, he opened his shriveled mouth and said, "I knew someone might be back, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”

I wasn't interested in digging into it, so I said straight to the point, "Ada, she's in my room, and she's coming here soon." ”

Loki's eyes widened for a moment, but his head sank: "You...... You told her everything? Ours these. ”

"Tell her? We? I frowned, realizing the oddity, "I didn't say she was a 'returner', how do you know?" ”

"It doesn't matter, she knows your identity now." I pointed to my eyes, "You think about what you're going to do, and I'll try to give you time to prepare." I said, ready to turn and leave.

"Or ...... Forget it......"

Facing me who was in a hurry at the moment, Loki suddenly turned his head and muttered.

I froze in place, a little unable to believe my ears: "What did you say?!" ”

"Forget it." Loki said with blank eyes, "Just say I'm dead, I can't see her." ”

My eyes widened, and a wave of ignorant karmic fire suddenly jumped into my heart, and my brows tightened, "What did you kid just say?!" That's your fiancée! ”

Loki also frowned, and said impatiently, "Daphna, this is my family matter, I advise you to take care of it better......"

"Bang!!"

Before he could finish speaking, a heavy punch slammed into his right cheek, and the whole person staggered to the side.

This punch was undoubtedly a good thing I did, but at this time, I was completely angry, and I was not interested in caring about Loki's situation, so I just shook off a sentence and left:

"Damn me like a man! Ida is your fiancée who has loved you for 10,000 years! Get ready for me! ”

Running down the hallway, I gradually came to my senses, I quickly realized that there was something wrong with what I had just done, at this moment, I was not sure of Loki's next reaction, it was the first time I felt so powerless since I woke up again, but I couldn't stop now, I had to tie the bell to the bell, I had to go back to Ada.

"Ida!" When I pretended to be innocent and walked briskly back to the dormitory, I found Ida already dressed and waiting for me at the door in one of my suits.

"I'm sorry Daphna, but the original outfit didn't look good, so I borrowed your clothes." As soon as she saw me, Ada spoke to me.

"It's okay, good sister, you look so good." I smiled and looked at her, she was indeed a beauty, even if it was just light makeup, it also vividly outlined the liveliness and vitality on her face, my suit was quite suitable for her, if you walked on the street, no one would stop at such a situation.

"Shall we go then?" Ada said, taking my hand.

I took a deep breath and nodded, "Let's go, then." I said.

Soon after, Ada and I were back in and out of the hallway. We walked one after the other, silent, whether intentionally or not, and Ada and I both slowed down, but no one had any intention of backing down, so we walked slowly towards Loki's room.

"Daphna ......" After a long silence, Ada suddenly said to me, "I...... I think of a lot of things, Rocky...... Will he ...... Loki too?"

I stopped, closed my eyes, turned back, and put my arm around both of her shoulders, "Ada, silence doesn't solve anything, do you understand?" Loki needs you now. I said earnestly.

Ada smiled wryly and nodded. "I see, thank you, sister."

We soon headed towards Loki again, but this time, we both inadvertently picked up our pace.

"This is it......" we paused in front of a hidden door, "this is his room." As I spoke, my heart almost jumped to my throat, but I still pretended to be calm: "Quick...... Open the door, he's inside. I said to Ada.

"Hmm." Ada nodded to me and slowly pushed open the hidden door.

My heart was beating harder and harder, and I was even covered in a cold sweat on my back, and I kept taking deep breaths, closing my eyes, and waiting......

"I didn't ...... No one? ”

Ada suddenly walked out of the room with a puzzled look on her face and said.

"No one?!" I snapped my eyes open, "No one...... How so?! ”

"But it's true that no one ......," Ida was a little surprised to see, "could it be that he has already gone to breakfast?" She guessed.

As soon as I heard that, the ignorant karmic fire rose again, "Damn boy. I grunted. A stomp of his foot, pulling up Ada, "Go!" Let's go find him! ”

"Don't work any harder, I'm right here."

Suddenly, there was a familiar voice behind us, and when we turned to look, it was Loki, dressed in a crisp suit, with shiny combed hair and a band-aid on the right side of his face, striding towards us.

"Loki! Honey, you're here......" A light flashed in Ada's eyes, and it dimmed immediately.

"Ada, you're here too." Loki said, pausing in front of us, his head sinking again.

The two were separated like this, looking at each other from a distance, obviously only half a meter away from each other, but it seemed to be separated by a thousand years.

"You...... You look so haggard......" Ida reached out and touched Loki's face.

"Ada......" Loki clenched his hands in confusion, and those distracted eyes looked at me through Ada's shoulders.

I clasped my hands over my chest, my eyes widened, and I pointed to Ada's back and nodded to him slightly.

Loki seemed to understand, and a shallow smile tugged at the corner of my mouth as she nodded at me again.

"Ida!" Loki suddenly hugged Ada tightly, "I'm really sorry. As he spoke, he began to cry.

"What stupid are you talking about, my dear!" Ida also immediately hugged Loki, "It's not your fault, don't blame yourself!" As she spoke, Ada's eyes reddened.

"Ada, I couldn't make you happy and send you to such a hellish place......"

"No...... Loki, it doesn't matter where I go as long as I'm with you...... I don't care what kind of life I have......"

"Ida!"

"Loki!"

“……”

In this way, the two of them hugged each other and cried in the hallway, and I left the place with a sense of humor, leaving the free space to them.

Before I could go to work, I asked Secretary Marcus for a day off with Loki, and then asked for the consent of Secretary of Intelligence Yesod. I yawned and prepared for what wasn't supposed to be today's work.

Loki and Ada had been in Loki's room for the rest of the day, talking to each other, hugging each other, or having fun in the water, it didn't matter anymore.

It wasn't until dinner time today that I met Loki again, and he came out to buy some snacks for tonight, and he met me while he was eating a late-night snack in it.

"You look a lot more energetic." I said to Loki, who was smiling at the corners of his mouth.

"Thanks to you." Loki said, his tone significantly softer, "Thanks to you." He said, pointing to the Band-Aid on the right side of his face.

"Poof...... I didn't think you kid was quite vindictive. I smiled.

He shook his head, "No, it's genuinely grateful. Loki sighed and continued, "In fact, everything you do is far from what an ordinary person should be. Why? You're going to help me like that. ”

"Why?" I took a sip of soda and didn't answer the question.

"Well...... It's okay if you don't want to say it. He put down his snack, sat down in front of me, as if he had made a big decision, took a deep breath, and said:

"Would you like to hear it? My story. ”

I snorted and laughed, "Tell me about it." ”

"Okay." Loki put his hands on his hands and whispered to me, "Where do you start? Just from ...... Let's start with my background......"

It was during the conversation that night that I learned that Loki had indeed been an orphan in the suburbs, and that his father was said to have come from a well-known urban wealthy family, with both a wife and a daughter; And the mother is just an unknown little nanny. On a drunken night, Loki was born out of their unblessed intercourse. After the matter was revealed, it was probably because he was worried that Loki's birth would affect the family's prestige, perhaps because of the deliberate exclusion of his wife and his family, and Loki's father never felt a trace of love and pity for him. As a result, the young Loki was ruthlessly abandoned to the suburbs to fend for himself. Young Loki planted the seeds of hatred in his heart early on.

They thought that Loki would soon be turned into a scavenger's belly, but the strong and intelligent Loki soon survived in the suburbs with the help of leftovers and other orphans, and that time was one of Loki's happiest days, and his peers worked together and helped each other under the leadership of several homeless youths who led the team, and the young people even taught the orphans to read and write, and let them chase and play in the stronghold, frolicking and having fun, although they only barely made ends meet, but Loki was extremely satisfied.

But the happy days soon faded, and on one occasion, when a group of masked and high-tech finishers suddenly broke into Loki and the orphans' small home, and the finishers brutally killed the young leaders and took the orphans into the new L's nest.

It was later learned that the employer of the group was an organization in the city called the "Children's Charity Foundation", which regularly hired people to abduct homeless orphans from the suburbs and send them to large families in the city to satisfy their sick "motherhood" or simply political bargaining chips.

Since then, hatred for urbanites has spread in Loki's heart.

Coming to the city again, Loki meets his new parents who come to greet him - they are both well-known real estate developers, after the old L-nest was completely destroyed by the battle of the mist, the new L-nest has expanded rapidly with the strong rise of the new L-company (that is, the current Brain Leaf Company), and the adoptive parents, as partners of the emerging Brain Leaf Company, naturally make a lot of money in its development.

And Loki,It's just a bargaining chip for them to seek political power.,They soon used the kind character of caring for orphans.,In that election, they became one of the members of the new L-nest.,They began to call for wind and rain in the political arena They quickly ignored the existence of little Loki.,They refused to give Loki a high-cost aristocratic school.,Only sent him to a boarding public school.,In this almost house arrest-like life,Although there is no humanistic care,But at this time he really came into contact with the vast sea of knowledge and the unprecedented vast sky., He soon showed his talent in school, and a few years later he completed his secondary school leaving exams with flying colors.

But just as Loki seemed to be about to leave for the university of his choice and get rid of his financial dependence on his adoptive parents, his adoptive parents, who had never seen him, knocked on the door of his room:

"Our dear little Loki, listen to Mom, you can't go to Nest C No. 1 University to study Demon Zero, you should go to Nest A Central University to study law."

It turned out that Loki was famous for his excellence, and suddenly remembered that his adoptive parents hoped that Loki would become a nail in the side of the head in politics in the future, so as to grab more benefits for the family.

But being a lawyer was never Loki's dream, in fact, as a young man, he hated the sanctimonious hypocrites of the city.

"Then why didn't you refuse?" I asked him at the time.

"Because I like that feeling." Loki replied simply: "I like the way my high parents and adoptive parents, who have changed their normal colors and come to me like a pug in front of me, and that's more satisfying than ever." ”

"But you know, it's an illusory feeling."

Loki shook his head and said, "Yes." ”

But misfortune also condenses luck, and in college, Loki met the most important woman in his life, that is, Ada. According to Ada, she was struck by Loki's coldness and handsomeness when she saw him, and she began a frenzied pursuit of Loki, during which time he received enough flowers to fill a garden, most of which came from Ada. The hard work paid off, and on a rainy night, Loki finally held her hand for the first time. Ada's gentleness, intelligence, integrity and ability made Loki, who was in love, even forget his hatred for the city people for a while, until the day he graduated......

"I've made up my mind, I'm not going to go into politics."

At a press conference, he faced the camera and said directly to his adoptive parents.

As expected, public opinion was in an uproar, and the humiliated adoptive parents kicked Loki out of the house in anger, and Ada's family was also heavily criticized by him, and under the surging public opinion and endless harassment, the unbearable Ada family also announced that they had severed ties with Ada and kicked him out of the house.

Until this time, this pair of bitter mandarin ducks were really together for the first time.

In the future, Loki tried to apply for jobs in other companies, but due to the fear of Loki's popularity and the power of his parents, no company dared to hire him, even World Wings rejected his resume again and again on the grounds of Loki's lack of qualifications, and Ada's situation was not better. Seeing that the long-term unemployed and their savings are about to bottom out, the brain leaf company throws an olive branch to the grief-stricken Loki.

"I knew it would be like this...... I'd rather leave the city with Ada......" Loki clenched his fists whenever he remembered those days.

"We've been circulating here for almost 10,000 years...... It's not alive, and you can't really die. I said, taking a sip of my soda.

"I would have liked to take her to live a peaceful life......"

"It's not your fault. How can a leaf stop itself from rising and falling in the waves of the sea? ”

Loki was silent.

"Then why are we here?" After a long time, he asked me questions again.

"I don't know......" I licked the mouth of the can, "maybe we're really stopping the ups and downs of the sea......"

"No matter what the future holds, as long as Ida is by my side, I will be able to face it bravely!" Loki said firmly: "She gave wings to me, who could not fly—it was that eternal love." ”
