Chapter 2 Cherry blossoms will hear
Hua Zhijie retreated again and again: "You can't kill me just because I like you!" ”
"No, I'll kill you more than once, Hua Zhijie." Shen Jiayan called out his name.
Hua Zhijie seemed to understand, and he asked tentatively: "Did you do the poisoning and shooting before?" ”
These words evoked Shen Jiayan's memories again, and she fell into that painful situation all of a sudden.
Qi took all of this into his eyes, opened his mouth and concluded: "This matter is more complicated. ”
Hua Zhijie intercepted Qi's words and asked preemptively, "Are you a system?" ”
"I'm a new system, and the previous one was too unreliable and has been replaced. I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, you listen to me explain slowly. ”
Qi Xiang Hua Zhijie told the ins and outs, to the effect that the original system found the wrong person, the mission failed many times, and the one thousand and first attempt just started two days ago.
Hua Shijie always felt that something was wrong after hearing this: "You said two days ago? But I came here five years ago. ”
Kai felt confused and asked, "You came here five years ago?" No, I don't have any record at all. ”
"I know this, the other company's move, you check by the way whether the original one is an undercover agent on the other side." Hua Zhijie opened his mouth and came.
"So ......" Shen Jia was about to summarize, trying to find the answer.
"That's why I've had a crush on you for a long time, sister." Hua Zhijie looked at each other with those puppy eyes, and Shen Jiayan looked away from the fiery eyes.
With the words "crush" and "sister", coupled with the huge amount of information just now, Qi has already thought about applying for a work-related injury first and then handing in his resignation. "It's so exciting, I haven't encountered anything like this in my 30 years in the industry." Kai was amazed on the side.
On the contrary, Shen Jiayan was much more serious, and now finding out the truth is more important than anything else, and asked: "How much do you remember what happened before?" ”
At the mention of this, Hua Zhijie was particularly aggrieved and complained: "You don't know how strange this game is, I really experience ......"
"Games? What game do you say? Shen Jiayan was even more anxious.
Hua Zhijie and Qi exchanged glances and replied tentatively, "It's a game...... You're an NPC, but you're a great NPC! He was afraid that Shen Jiayan would lose his mind, so he sped up his speech and told him how he found this game and how he came to it.
After listening to his words, Shen Jiayan was completely out of strength. She understood, it turned out that she was just an NPC, and she was found by the system only because the other party was unreliable and recognized the wrong person, in fact, the real savior has been killed by herself, and even the "Hua Zhijie" who supported her countless times has been replaced.
She looked at the man in front of her, he was not the former "Hua Zhijie", in this life, the original "Hua Zhijie" disappeared out of thin air as early as five years ago.
His faith collapsed, he was no longer the savior, his lover was no longer coming back, he was replaced by someone else who looked exactly the same, and he would stop at the age of twenty forever, no wonder this time he behaved so abnormally.
Shen Jiayan felt that he was being played by the two people in front of him, and he only felt that anger occupied the high ground of IQ and kicked down reason, but he didn't know who to be angry at, and the other two also felt that her aura had become depressed, and they didn't dare to speak.
After a while, Shen Jiayan spoke: "I don't like my little brother, it's not good if it's two years younger than me, we're not suitable." ”
Hua Zhijie was choked, isn't the original owner also two years younger than you?
Shen Jiayan handed the pendant to Hua Zhijie, and his tone was a little unnatural: "Give it back to you, and it can be regarded as returning the thing to its original owner." ”
Hua Zhijie was completely stunned and took the pendant in a daze.
The atmosphere of the scene was unnatural, and Qi couldn't stand it, so he said: "I'm done, I'll shake people when I'm done." ”
Shake people? To save us? Shen and Hua both looked at Qi at the same time.
"Don't save it." There is nothing to love about the flowers.
The two of them were in the mood to die to tell the truth, but they had just made another show, and the mood of reopening such an embarrassing atmosphere was particularly strong.
"Don't underestimate the privileges of our excellent employees, shake it off, wait for your people to pick you up, I'll go first." After Kai finished speaking, he disappeared. The pendant was closed and lay quietly on Hua Zhijie's hand, and the two stared at the pendant in a daze.
Hua Zhijie handed his hand to Shen Jiayan and said, "I'll give it back to you, I think it's still suitable for you." Seeing that Shen Jiayan didn't react, he continued, "I'm serious, since it will admit its mistakes, it proves that we have something in common, besides...... Never mind. ”
He didn't dare to continue, because he was afraid that Shen Jiayan would know that he had failed many times in this game, and maybe Shen Jiayan would have a relationship with him so many times.
Looking at the "Hua Zhijie" in front of him, Shen Jiayan still took back the pendant.
"Sister...... My chest hurts so much......" Hua Zhijie suddenly became weak, his eyelids were so tired, and a second before his eyelids were completely closed, he saw Shen Jiayan's panicked face.
"He had three broken ribs and needed some rest. His brain is also somewhat damaged, and he may have a brief period of amnesia, which should be fine on his own later. The doctor said to Shen Jiayan on the side. At this time, Hua Zhijie's eyelids moved imperceptibly, and he felt a little itchy on the sole of his left foot, and scratched it with his right toe.
"Awake?" Shen Jiayan walked to the side of the bed and asked. The doctor also left the room after a routine examination.
"Where am I, how am I hurt?" Hua Zhijie looked confused.
Shen Jiayan sighed, it seemed that he had really forgotten, and said what happened in the man-made tunnel and information about Qi, but he didn't say a word about the confession.
There were only two people left in the entire ward. The wind lifts the curtain through the window, lowers it again, and waits until the curtain touches the wall sooner, and then lifts the curtain again, and so on. There were also two bouquets of daisies on the windowsill, and there was dew on the petals, as if they had just been picked this morning. It was brought by Shen Jiayan, and he said that he saw it on the way in the morning, so he took it off.
Hua Zhijie saw the daisies on the windowsill and wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh, because his chest hurt when he laughed: "It turns out that our Major Shen also likes Xiaohuahua, the iron man is tender." ”
"Didn't you take a language class when you were a kid?" Shen Jiayan was facing the hospital bed, her hands on her elbows, she turned her head to look at the windowsill, and then said, "The ward is lifeless, bring some living creatures to increase vitality." After speaking, he looked at Hua Zhijie again.
The sun shone on her body, and it outlined her facial features very well, Hua Zhijie looked at this face, and remembered the scene of Shen Jiayan's training on the training ground, as well as her high-spirited appearance in every group activity in the past five years. He had already seen Shen Jiayan in the game, and he could be an evenly matched opponent or a partner who supported each other. Shen Jiayan's delicate face always exudes a temperament of not admitting defeat, and his neat short hair has never grown long in memory. That bravery, responsibility, and wisdom have long made her a treasure. That's right, why do the most popular female characters in the game have to be good-looking?
"It's spring, and a lot of flowers are blooming." Hua Zhijie complained, "The outer city is not only about fighting and killing, they also planted a small cherry blossom forest a few years ago, and now it is the flowering season, do you want to go together?" ”
Shen Jiayan wanted to reject this person who had just confessed to him, but he thought that he had forgotten that if he was abnormal, he might still remind him of something. She really wanted to go see Sakura, and she missed him again.
I still remember that the last life was also in the outer city, and it was also the familiar cherry blossom forest, the two sat leaning against the trunk under the cherry blossom tree, and Hua Zhijie and Shen Jiayan chatted about a fairy tale. The gist of it was that the prince needed to kill enough hundred dragons to marry the princess, and the princess went to the forest alone to slash ninety-nine dragons because she loved the prince deeply, and when the last one was missing, the princess asked the prince why he didn't act, and the prince replied......
"If you love me enough, you'll help me kill all these hundred dragons." Hua Zhijie read out the content of the article.
Hearing this, Shen Jiayan was very angry, obviously the evil dragon was his own business, how could he push it to others.
In retrospect, in addition to doing your own thing, shared responsibility is also one of the cores of this story. The contribution of one partner alone will not prolong a relationship, but on the contrary, it will hasten its demise.
She remembered that Hua Zhijie in the previous life would think of the law to make her happy, would get up early to cook for her, pick the most beautiful flower in the yard and put it next to the bed, he wanted to find a solution to the human crisis as soon as possible, just because Shen Jiayan said that he wanted to experience ordinary life on the earth. After the two confirmed their relationship, they would tell the secret of their life experience in time, but they didn't want to deceive Shen Jiayan. But Shen Jiayan kept him in the dark from beginning to end, and didn't even say it before he died.
It was very strange to go to the black market and be attacked by sneak attack, and after visiting Hua Zhijie, Shen Jiayan went to the commander-in-chief of the outer city base to report. Shen Jiayan also guessed that this arrangement was related to his father, but he always said that tiger poison does not eat children, how could it harm Shen Jiayan together? She felt that there was no evidence for the time being, so it was better to be careful.
The commander-in-chief of the base is surnamed Zhang, and his name is Zhang Tiefan. As the name suggests, even if he is nearly fifty years old, he is still covered in tendon meat, with a height of 1.95 meters and well-developed muscles, standing in front of Shen Jiayan like a wall. Zhang Tiefan doesn't like to take care of his hair, his whole life is inch, and his hair is hard, and his hair is like a hedgehog's thorn. Shen Jiayan felt that with his image, going to an outsider to be an undercover agent and pretending to be a gangster, mixed up with the high-level was simply a pinch.
Zhang Tiefan was originally a native of the sub-planet C area, and later joined the army because of his outstanding personal ability, and his position in it was also very high, but because he was too upright, he was framed by several other current commanders and sent here, Shen Huan was also involved at that time, and Shen Jiayan also knew about it.
"Commander Zhang." Shen Jiayan saluted.
Zhang Tiefan nodded at her and said, "Sit down, I have something to ask you." ”
"I know what happened to you and Q on the way to the black market this time, but the whole mission is kept secret from the outside world, no one should know, we also opened the skylight and said something, I think someone is collaborating with the enemy."
After listening to this, Shen Jiayan thought of what Shen Huan said to herself before leaving, she knew that these people were arranged by Shen Huan, but in the past experience, it should not be that Shen Jiayan would not be involved.
"The outer city is mixed, and in the past two years, outsiders have become rampant, and a sneak attack is possible." Shen Jiayan tried to reduce Commander Zhang's suspicion and pushed the matter to the accident, "Besides, it is the time when the external troubles disturb the internal, and we will not have too much suspicion about the internal so as not to discourage people." ”
"And what are you going to do?" Zhang Tiefan's eyes flickered.
"Now it's time to tighten security, but the plan is still the same, and we're going to lure the snake out of the hole. Q is now suffering, but according to the hospital's technology, he can recover in a week at most, and he plans to continue in a week. ”
"You're not afraid of death?"
"I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid of killing others because of my cowardice."
Zhang Tiefan snorted and said, "You don't look like your father at all." ”
Shen Jiayan heard the meaning of his words: "Commander Zhang is too pretty. ”
After Shen Jiayan left, Zhang Tiefan lit a cigar and took out the top-secret document from the locked drawer, which was written with evidence of Shen Huan's dealings with outsiders, including the accidental killing of Shen Jiayan and Q. He can't do it right now, because there is also a mention of a secret experimental base. He needed to grasp this handle, through Shen Jiayan's hand.
There was a week of free time, Shen Jiayan was bored and terrible, and he walked to the training ground by surprise and saw a familiar figure - it was Su Tian. Su Tian stayed in an orphanage in the outer city for as long as he could remember, and was later selected by the military to enter the sub-planet, and he had a bunk relationship with Shen Jiayan.
"Hello, from now on we will be comrades-in-arms and roommates." Shen Jiayan stretched out his hand and said.
"Hello." Su Tian's voice looked like it had been plucked from some mature man.
Shen Jiayan quickly looked around and felt strange: "How can there be men in the girls' dormitory?" "Don't look for it, it's me." A deeper figure came from below, it was Su Tian, the weak woman who looked like a rabbit.
Su Tian was devoting himself to training at this time, and he didn't notice Shen Jiayan at all. When I first entered the barracks, I was half a head shorter than my peers because I often didn't have enough to eat in the orphanage, and now I don't seem to have grown much taller, but my fighting skills seem to have improved a lot.
Shen Jiayan watched like this, watching Su Tian face the attack of a one-meter-eighty-five man, lightly dodging, standing firm, and then raising her leg close to the ground, she seemed to hear the sound of her calf bone breaking. Su Tian realized that his hand was a little heavy, so he immediately stopped it, and the other party sat down on the ground with a scream and covered his calf, and opened his trouser leg to see that although there was no fracture, a layer of skin had also fallen off.
Su Tian was at a loss for a moment, how could he have such a ruthless hand under training, the other party waved his hand and didn't say anything, he went to the hospital with the help of others, leaving Su Tian alone in the same place.
As if feeling Shen Jiayan's gaze, Su Tian turned around, and when he saw this familiar figure, Su Tian wanted to admit it but didn't dare, and remembered what had just happened, so he left quickly. Seeing Su Tian leave, Shen Jiayan also took a breath, after all, the current one can't be exposed.
She really wanted to talk to Su Tian, since the garrison to the present, the two have been separated for five years.
In the evening, Shen Jiayan walked into Hua Zhijie's ward with two game chips, and a bottle of hot milk in his hand. As soon as he entered the ward, he saw Hua Zhijie's smug little eyes, he took the milk and raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say that I can't come to trouble?" ”
"I'm afraid you're bombarded with news." After Shen Jiayan finished speaking, he took out a chip from his pocket and gave it to Hua Zhijie.
"It's better that the technology is developed, and you can use anything with a chip reader implanted in your hand." Hua Zhijie put aside the half-drunk milk, "Come with me, this game needs to be played by two people." ”
Shen Jiayan looked at the chip in his hand and fell into deep thought, and refused: "I don't know how to play games." ”
"It's very simple, I'm an agent in there, you can be a hacker. When the time comes, I'll report back to you what I saw, and you tell me what you know, and we'll just get through each other. ”
"What do you mean?" Shen Jiayan was a little foggy when he heard it.
"Because the perspective is the same, communication is very important. Of course, I can't express it clearly, but I'll know if I try it. After speaking, Hua Zhijie opened the chip reader and put in the chip, the chip was activated, and the indicator on the side emitted a blue light, indicating that Shen Jiayan was ready.
After both of them enter the game, Hua Zhijie finds that even the character image will change with the user.
"Wow, I'm pretty handsome in this agent suit." He saw Shen Jiayan's hacker outfit again, "You are more handsome than me, give you a thumbs up." ”
Shen Jiayan was helpless: "Don't be poor, fight quickly." ”
The first level is simple, the game requires the hacker to provide information to the agent, the agent reports back on the situation, and finally helps the agent escape from the base where he is being held.
At first, the two of them cooperated tacitly, unlocking the password door from the beginning to disarming the mechanism later, but the last part went wrong.
According to the plot, the agent will trigger the alarm and be wanted by the whole base, and at this time, hackers will need to help escape through the map that has already been stolen, but herein lies the problem.
"You keep running." Shen Jiayan was a little anxious.
Hua Zhijie didn't dare to move, because there was a high wall in front of him, and it seemed that he couldn't climb over it, so he asked: "Is there a mistake, this is a wall, and it can't be climbed." ”
"Where is the wall, did you run by mistake?"
"You're mistaken, I've been doing what you say."
Shen Jiayan didn't believe himself very much, and spent another two seconds fumbling, and slowly spoke: "Wait for death, the map is 3D, I see it as 2D, and the place where you are now is a dead end." ”
When he came out of the game, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and Shen Jiayan was a little ashamed because of the mistake just now, and sat on the hospital bed next to him without speaking.
Hua Zhijie handed her an apple: "Eat, the ones that Daqiang brought when he came to see me in the morning were all washed." Shen Jiayan was not polite and gnawed.
"That's how interesting this game is, after all, no one will live from God's point of view, and communication is the key here."
"I know, it's really interesting, because communication is so important, so our ancestors invented language." Shen Jiayan continued.
"So the two of us have to communicate more."
"Why?" Shen Jiayan was a little puzzled.
"Let's save the world together." Hua Zhijie leaned in her direction slightly, "This is our common goal." After saying that, he tried to wink, but his eye muscles were not developed, and it looked like cramps.
"You haven't recovered your brain yet?" Shen Jiayan didn't want to have too much to do with him anymore.
"I'm serious, I've been through it so many times, and I know at a glance that I can't succeed on my own. Have you ever heard a saying that you can't lead a team, you can only work until you die. The last few words, Hua Zhijie looked very serious.
"Whatever you want, anyway, you can't continue the mission until you're healed."
"I've heard it all, let's go see the cherry blossoms together in two days, I'm almost fine." Hua Zhijie sent an invitation to the other party.
"If you're well, go straight to the task." Shen Jiayan really couldn't see through what he was thinking.
"If you die on a mission, give me hospice care!"
Shen Jiayan really didn't want to hear these words anymore, and said, "Hurry up and go to enjoy the cherry blossoms the day after tomorrow." ”
"Bah, I'll see you the day after tomorrow." Hua Zhijie drank the remaining half bottle of milk.
On the day of the appointment, Shen Jiayan took off the military uniform he usually wears, changed into a white shirt and black long skirt, put on white casual shoes, and drove to the woods with Hua Zhijie.
Hua Zhijie is also a simple outfit, but he has a camera hanging around his neck.
Shen Jiayan has never understood that today, when technology is so developed, it is possible to shoot and record with glasses and cameras, but instead of declining, the popularity of handheld cameras has gradually risen.
The two talked about this topic, and Hua Shijie recalled: "There are many people who like photography in our country, including myself, who can record daily life and thousands of beautiful scenery when they travel. Some people think it's just a tool, while others think it's meaningful. ”
"Then what are you bringing it for today?" Shen Jiayan asked.
"Because of the great significance, I finally came out to relax once." Hua Zhijie looked at Shen Jiayan, "It's here, get out of the car." ”
The cherry blossom tree is still the same as in her memory, Shen Jiayan doesn't know if it is appropriate to describe it as "the face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze", after all, she has not figured out how to "classify" these two flower masters. But it's really not suitable, because it's cherry blossoms here.
In the process of cherry blossom viewing, Hua Zhijie told her many stories about his past. Tell me about my experience of surfing in the sea, choosing not to wear sunscreen for fear of polluting the environment and getting tanned, telling the story of taking pictures and painting on the high oxygen inhalation on the plateau, and all kinds of things I heard during my trip.
"One year when I was worshipping the Buddha in the temple, when I was climbing the pagoda, I heard the monks inside say that if you recite your wish while climbing the pagoda, then your wish will come true in the end."
"Did you finally make it happen?"
Hua Zhijie scratched his head a little embarrassedly, a little shy: "I forgot to meditate on this matter halfway through, and I didn't remember it until I was almost at the end." ”
"So it's not anyone else who helps make your wish come true, it's yourself." Shen Jiayan stared at the cherry blossoms and slowly spoke.
"What do you mean?" Hua Zhijie looked at Shen Jiayan, who was watching the cherry blossoms.
"Where there is a will, there is a way, or if you don't forget, there will be an echo, because if you desperately want to achieve your wishes, you will take action, and climbing the tower is just a positive hint."
Shen Jiayan looked at Shanghua Zhijie, and then said: "People from the outer city come here at this time of year, not only to enjoy the flowers, but also to make wishes. ”
"Why, make a wish to the cherry blossoms?"
"They see this as the only holy place in the outer city, but who can hear the prayers here?"
The two of you glanced at me and said a word, which made Shen Jiayan suddenly think that the previous life was also here, Hua Zhijie told Shen Jiayan that people came here to pray, and it was Shen Jiayan who asked why.
Shen Jiayan had a smile in his eyes, and he was gentle, Hua Zhijie looked at her and felt as if she was glowing.
"Since they're all here, make a wish." Shen Jiayan looked at him.
The two stood under the oldest tree, their hands folded and their heads bowed slightly.
The spring breeze trotted in the woods, attracting countless cherry blossoms to follow, and one petal fell on the top of Shen Jiayan's hair, and was blown away by the spring breeze and fell to the ground.
"Sakura will hear it." Hua Zhijie replied firmly.
