Chapter 266: Farewell My Love
The Black Ark stopped at the top of a high mountain in the suburbs, and Su Mo and Qi Ling sat side by side, watching the sunrise.
Qi Ling's smiling lips were naturally curled, and her amber pupils reflected the golden sky in the distance.
The morning breeze was blowing slowly, raising the beautiful silver hair, and occasionally a strand of hair brushed across Su Mo's face, and the refreshing fragrance could be faintly smelled.
Su Mo looked at Qi Ling's side face: "How do you feel after revenge?" ”
Qi Ling looked at the eastern canopy, his red lips opened and closed, he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally whispered two words: "Calm."
She stretched out her hand to block it, and her five fingers were slightly closed and rubbed, as if kneading the sunlight between her fingers: "In the years since I escaped from the Garden of Eden, I often have difficulty sleeping, because every time I fall asleep, I have nightmares, and in my dreams I return to that disgusting place. ”
"I hate the world, just being 'alive' makes me sick, and I want to die every moment."
"But I can't die, because I still have unfinished revenge. Those people are still alive, and that's why I'm alive. ”
"Now that they're all dead, I have nothing left in my heart but peace."
Su Mo's childhood was ordinary, but very happy, with parents who loved him and good playmates.
He and Qi Ling don't have the same experience, and if you want to say that you empathize, it must be a lie.
But he could imagine what it would be like.
No relatives, no friends, ravaged from childhood to adulthood, the only light extinguished in the past, and all that remains is painful memories.
Falling asleep is having nightmares about the past, waking up and living in nightmares called reality.
Loneliness to the extreme, loneliness to the extreme.
In the face of something he had never experienced, any so-called enlightenment was self-righteous, so Su Mo didn't say anything, just moved his body slightly to get closer to Qi Ling, and comforted her silently in this way.
Qi Ling leaned his head on Su Mo's shoulder, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he asked softly, "Speaking of which, the night when the Garden of Eden was supposed to explode, you reported the crime, right?" ”
At this point, there was nothing to hide, Su Mo smiled and asked, "How did you know?" ”
Qi Ling: "That day was the anniversary of the Smart Brain Project, and I remember the faces of every guest at the banquet, and you were the only unfamiliar face, so I guessed that it must have something to do with you." ”
Su Mo nodded thoughtfully.
If he hadn't influenced the development of the plot, the businessmen, politicians, and researchers who had contributed to the Brain Project would have been wiped out that night.
As for why this kind of thing was not reported in the original plot, it must be that the authorities found out what Daystar Eden had done afterwards and blocked the news as soon as possible.
In this day and age, it's common not to treat people as human beings.
But a semi-official institution like Eden actually uses children for high-risk human experiments?
This kind of pressure from public opinion, the authorities of Crescent City really can't bear it, and they must have covered the news as soon as possible.
Qi Ling asked curiously, "I thought I hid the bomb very secretly, how did you find it at that time?" ”
Of course, Su Mo couldn't tell anyone about the fact that he was a traverser, so he made up a lie.
"At that time, I was commissioned to investigate the embezzlement of public funds in Daystar Eden, and the detection robot stumbled upon those bombs and quickly reported the crime."
Qi Ling was silent for a while, then suddenly grabbed Su Mo's face and stared straight into his eyes.
"Your eyes blink faster than they used to, and your pupils dilate slightly, which is a physiological phenomenon caused by sympathetic nerve excitation."
She leaned into Su Mo's ear and said faintly, "You lied to me, big liar. ”
Su Mo wanted to continue to quibble, but Qi Ling put his finger against his lips: "Shhhh
She rested her chin on Su Mo's shoulder, closed her eyes and whispered, "It's okay, everyone has secrets." If I can't say it, I won't ask. ”
Qi Ling was so understanding, Su Mo couldn't help but smile and took the initiative to change the topic: "So what was your original plan?" ”
Qi Ling: "As you can see, I'm going to kill everyone with a bomb." As for those who were related to Xiaoqi's death, but not enough to attend the dinner party, they would be left to the virus to be eliminated. ”
Su Mo nodded thoughtfully.
The main participant in the Brain Project, who was supposed to die in the flames that night, was then blocked by the authorities.
And those who are killed by intelligent machines, to be honest, really not worth mentioning.
In Crescent City, where there are dozens of homicides every day alone, and the stock prices of funeral companies often rise and fall, a few people with no money and no status have died, and the Public Security Bureau is afraid that they don't bother to take care of it.
It was supposed to be a precise, silent massacre.
It was entirely because she sabotaged Qi Ling's original plan, which caused her to make things crazy, and there were those vigorous scenes later.
At this time, Su Mo thought of a very critical question: "If I hadn't sabotaged your plan, where would you go after killing those people?" ”
Qi Ling retracted his fingers and gestured for the gun, then fired a shot from the side of his head.
"I bought myself a lovely pink revolver, and I would wear a sleek outfit and watch the flaming flower rise from the Garden of Daystar Eden from the rooftop and shoot a bullet into my head."
Su Mo didn't expect such an answer, and was stunned: "How can you have such a plan..."
Qiling said calmly, "As I said earlier, being alive is torture for me, and I don't want to be freed from this hellish world all the time. Death is not a punishment for me, but a destination. ”
Su Mo smiled after hearing this: "But fate is wonderful, isn't it?" If I hadn't stopped the explosion of Daystar Eden, you would have died quietly, and I would never have known you. ”
"Now we sit here facing each other, experiencing earth-shattering things together, and then quietly watching the rising sun."
Qi Ling pursed his lips and couldn't help but wonder: "Yes, you're right." ”
She raised her head, her eyes reflected Su Mo's figure, full of gentle smiles: "Momo, can you fulfill a wish for me?" ”
Sumer: "You say. ”
Qi Ling: "Hug me." ”
Su Mo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the so-called "wish" to be so simple, he raised his arms to wrap around Qi Ling's waist and hugged her in his arms.
Qi Ling's body trembled slightly because of the sense of happiness, and she leaned her little head on Su Mo's shoulder, rubbing it gently like a coquettish kitten.
The pair of amber eyes were half-open and half-closed, full of misty and intoxicating light: "I haven't told you yet, when I was very young, I suffered from skin hunger, and only by being held can my heart be completely calm." ”
"At the Daystar Eden meeting, Xiaoqi always held me. Then she was gone, and there was no one to hold me. ”
"I've lived in loneliness for half of my life, and before I die, someone can finally hold me again."
"Thank you, my love."
“…… Farewell. ”
She suddenly pulled out the gun from Su Mo's lower back, pressed it against her chin and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
Blood splattered.
