- If you don't agree, there's no way, no one can stop Qi Jiu, who wants to take a vacation.

On the day of the vacation, Qi Yan returned to his apartment on Dawn Street, and the first thing he did when he got home was that Qi Xiao immediately called Qi Xiaonian and invited him to come to his house for dinner.

"Brother, I thought you..." Although Qi Xiaonian on the other end of the phone was trying to restrain his emotions, his voice sounded a little trembling.

Even though he has done professional actor acting training, in such a situation, it is still difficult for Qi Xiaonian to control his true emotions.

Qi Yan said softly: "You know, I never lie. ”

"yes, I know." Qi Xiaonian on the other end of the phone smiled, "I'll go over with Lu Zhi at night." ”

The meal was as calm as ever, without revelry or emotion, and each other seriously enjoyed the rare gathering and food.

The relationship between the brothers of the Qi family has always been like this, calm and harmonious, in the eyes of uninformed outsiders, they will mistakenly think that there is a gap between their brothers, after all, one of them is a child brought back from the welfare home.

Lu Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Brother Qi, where have you been during this time?" ”

He had a hunch that something terrible had happened to the other party, not even to the extent that he could imagine.

Qi Yan said lightly: "I went on a very long trip. ”

Lu Zhi: "It must have been a very meaningful trip. ”

Qi Yan smiled calmly: "Yes, I also met very important people during the trip. ”

He looked out the window thoughtfully, the endless rain curtain disappeared, and the moonlight fell into the courtyard on a clear night, "Xiao Nian, I met you too." ”

"Me?" Qi Xiaonian was slightly stunned.

Qi Jiu: "Well, you in the hospital bed a long time ago are the day you remember. ”

Although the time may not be too long, in their perception, Qi Xiaonian on the hospital bed is already as long ago as in the previous life.

Lu Zhi was stunned: "What?!" ”

Qi Xiaonian suddenly smiled: "Brother, were you wearing that black windbreaker when you saw me?" It seemed like it was snowing a lot that night."

Qi Yan nodded: "What you remember is what really happened." ”

Qi Xiaonian once mentioned that in his vague impression, Qi Yan once stood in front of his hospital bed in a black windbreaker, it was a snowy night, and there was a smell of blood in the air.

Qi Jiu: "Xiao Nian, I will give you a sum of survival coins next, enough for you to make any choice, you can have the freedom to leave and stay at any time, so I hope you don't shirk." ”

Qi Xiaonian was stunned, he knew very well that Qi Jiu never exaggerated the facts, what he said was enough, that is, it was really a huge amount of money.

"Brother, what should you do then?" Qi Xiaonian asked.

Qi Yan smiled: "I took a job and inherited a large 'inheritance', so I don't have to worry about the survival coin, I can guarantee this." ”

Qi Xiaonian noticed that when Qi Yan described this incident, although his eyelids were slightly drooping, a different gentle look flashed under his eyes.

At this moment, he understood that the work of his brother's mouth was related to that special person.

Qi Xiaonian believed that Qi Jiu would not force himself, and the arrangement made by the other party had always been the most reasonable, so he no longer shirked and nodded: "Brother, thank you." ”

*

Qi Ji began to work in the system as "079", in addition to the tasks assigned by the system itself, Qi Ji is also using this way to make himself more familiar with 079's past.

- Be him, get acquainted with him.

It all happened so naturally.

The legend of the "Grim Reaper" is once again circulating among travelers.

No one knows His name, only that there is such a dangerous and unique being in the current dungeon, he wanders between dungeons, and encounters Him, which not only symbolizes the highest achievement that can be achieved in the dungeon, but at the same time it is extremely dangerous, full of challenges, and desirable.

Li Beizheng said that the most dazzling "Grim Reaper" is back.

Together, they are finally back on track, and the "Rules Illustrated Book" has restored its original order.

It's just that no one knows that the "Grim Reaper" they're talking about now is a temporary worker.

Day after day, Qi Ji has seen too much boring gore and human tests in this job.

The drama of fear and betrayal is repeated every day, and even if the system has been restored, it seems that the human bugs will never be fixed.

But as a former human being, Qi Zhen also knows very well that this is the charm of life, full of possibilities, whether it is despicable or noble.

But in such a cycle, there is an occasional moment when Qi Ji forgets that he is Qi Ji, not 079.

Some feelings fade with time, but others become more and more urgent in the silent waiting.

Just like Qi Jiu's state of mind waiting for 079 at the moment, he knew his suppressed desires.

The system has mentioned that "in the stage of emergency self-repair of bugs in the system, two identical employees are likely to be judged by the main system as mirror bugs, and the data will be erased]

Qi Yan believes that 079, which has not yet fully recovered its ability, is therefore hidden, avoiding the initial turmoil of the main system to repair and avoid unnecessary trouble.

When the repair of the system gradually stabilizes, 079 will appear in front of his eyes and fulfill his promise.

After all, that guy is so narcissistic, he will definitely not let "himself" down.

Qi Zhen believed in 079's promise, as if he could absolutely trust himself.

The seasons in the "Rules Book" are blurred, as the dungeon has its own seasons.

On an uneventful day, he received a call from a copy of the "Don't Dream of Electronic Sheep Tonight" factory, and Professor Damon told him over the phone that the factory had ushered in the spring season, and he invited him to come and witness a new round of miracles.

Qi Yan held the telephone receiver and joked: "As long as you don't go to work, I'm happy to take a vacation." ”

Driven by a certain premonition, Qi Ji arrived at the "Don't Dream of Electronic Sheep Tonight" factory as quickly as possible.

In a sense, this is his hometown.

He was made here, and the laboratory that gave birth to him was the starting point of the cycle.

When Qi Yan stepped into this land again, he found that he had been deceived by Professor Damon.

There is no sign of spring blooming here, and the endless wilderness is covered in snow, clean, vast, yet mournfully quiet.

The overwhelming white blurred the boundaries of time, and the snow reminded Qi Zhen of the day he was killed and killed in the real world.

He reached out to catch the snow, and the snow-white crystals instantly turned into clear droplets of water, slipping between his fingers.

Qi Yan wiped off the melting snow and asked in a half-joking tone, "Professor Damon, is this the spring blossom you mean?" ”

Professor Damon shrugged: "Yes, when this snow stops, spring will come, and then the blue wildflowers will spread across the wilderness, and life is exactly like that, don't believe you wait and see." ”

Qi Yan smiled: "Okay, it's a pity that I don't have so much time to go on vacation and enjoy the spring here." ”

Professor Damon proudly said: "Today is a very special day, a day that you are familiar with, and there is a great work in the institute that is about to be completed, so I invite you to come and witness all this." ”

Qi Yan looked at the white horizon and said with a smile: "I thought that the first experiment was the greatest work in the laboratory. ”

Professor Damon became much more sleek than when he first met, and he glanced at Qi Zhen meaningfully: "It's not conflicting, or it's very similar, you will understand when you see it." ”

Qi Yan followed Professor Damon into the laboratory base, and they walked along the hallway, which ended in a heavy gray door.

Of course, Qi Zhen remembered this place, and the laboratory at the end of the corridor was the place where he was once conceived.

"It's so nostalgic." Qi Jiu's voice was very soft, as if he was worried that he would wake up the life that was being conceived in the laboratory.

Professor Damon laughed: "Of course, miracles are always something to be remembered, aren't they?" ”

Then he opened the gray door and made a "please" gesture towards Qi Yan.

Qi Yan glanced at him suspiciously: "Aren't you going in together?" ”

Professor Damon smiled and shook his head, "I won't bother." ”

Qi Zhen actually had a hunch in his heart, he wanted to release his emotions in the most insipid way, such as joking with Professor Damon.

He didn't want to expect too much because he wasn't sure he could afford to be disappointed.

He was deceiving himself, making himself think he was unaware.

The door to the lab closed behind him, and the familiar smell of culture solution filled the confined space.

The Petri dish placed in the center of the lab cracked, and the viscous solution splattered all over the floor.

Qi Jiu's eyelids jumped, and he subconsciously approached the broken petri dish.

At this moment, the light of the laboratory with stable electricity suddenly flashed, and the light went out with a "zila" sound.

The lab was plunged into darkness.

The sound of breathing, the sound of footsteps.

Someone is approaching.

A familiar aura enveloped behind him.

Qi Yan stopped, he was waiting for the other party to approach.

He closed his eyes.

Closing your eyes has always been a part of their game.

The other party also covered his eyelids with his hands.

The hands were still the same as before, very cold, like snow on the face.

They were silent in the darkness for a long time, until all the senses that had disappeared returned, and the fear of gain and loss completely ebbed—

“79。”

"It's me."

There was silence again, and finally Qi Zhen smiled, but his voice was calm: "You're finally back." ”

"It turns out that you are also the work of Professor Damon, and now we are completely the same."

"Well, I hope this work will satisfy you,"

Sensing Qi Jiu's eyelashes fluttering in his palm, 079 whispered "shh ”

Qi Yan was slightly stunned and smiled: "Okay." ”

The sound of shredded breathing was close at hand.

Through the other party's body temperature, Qi Yan felt his own heat.

It's hotter than ever.

Cold, soft things covered them, and their breaths were entwined with each other.
