CHAPTER XXXVIII

"Its random punishment is [N years of scene disappearing card], experience... Effective immediately......"

The system's choppy sound is still in my ears.

The young man floated naked in the pale blue liquid, his long eyelashes were gently closed, his lips were pink, his face was soothing, and his black hair was like a clump of soft jellyfish, slowly rubbing past his cheeks.

His limbs are white and slender, and his muscles are thin and attached to his bones, and the proportions are perfect, like the masterpieces of medieval sculptors.

An ugly gunshot wound in the chest not only did not break the slightest, but like Venus's severed arm, it added a touch of mutilation.

Suddenly, the lifeless fingers of the artwork flicked.

The water ripples surged, and Kawashima Ezaki's consciousness gradually returned.

His memory is still stuck in the moment of the explosion, his body was hit by the blast wave, the burning pain of the explosion remained in the nerve endings, and his brain began to process the pain information sent from everywhere, but found that there was no scar on the body at all.

"Treasure! Random penalties are finally over! ”

The young man, soaked in the light blue solution, suddenly opened his eyes.

Before he could understand his environment, he was choked to death by a mouthful of light blue solution, but fortunately, he could swim, and quickly adjusted his posture and floated on the water.

Kawashima Ezaki looked around and found himself in a cylindrical glass laboratory dish about one meter wide and three meters high, with a black metal device firmly sealed from top to bottom, and the light blue solution inside was very deep, leaving only a gap of about thirty centimeters for him to rise.

“？”

Kawashima Esaki picks up a transparent liquid with a little viscosity.

It doesn't taste like it tastes good, and it looks clean, but it makes people mind a little when it's put in a lab dish.

"What is this?"

The system doesn't know either!

The random punishment stands out for being a randomness, and this punishment is that there is no scene in n years, so even he was dumped with Kawashima Esaki to n years later.

"Nutrient solution, presumably?" The system scratches its head.

"It turns out that the location of the appearance is also random, I thought it would appear in the place where it disappeared, and I was thinking that it was the center of a lake, I don't know if you can swim, if you have the strength to swim to the shore."

Although Tokita Ichiro said that he would prepare the search and rescue team, he could not expect the search and rescue team to be stationed there on a yearly basis to prepare for the rescue of people.

"I'll take a look at the forum."

"Hmm."

Kawashima Esaki began to study how to get out.

He is not like a system, because he is an inanimate and has no sense of crisis.

Don't look at the calm in the jar It seems to be safe, but in fact, it is better to appear in the lake.

The young man mentally calculated that if the oxygen content of the air on the water surface was the same as that outside, it would only be enough for him to breathe for ten minutes. If he can't find a way out within ten minutes, he will go into a coma due to lack of oxygen to his brain.

Well.

Should you end up sinking into the water and drowning?

Anyway, compared to being blown up, it's not painful.

The system has been going for a long time, probably because he has seen a lot of things that happened during this time and he doesn't know, so he can't think about it.

Kawashima Ezaki sighed and gave up opening the black metal part on it.

I don't know how many years this thing has been placed, and the metal and metal are almost glued together, not to mention that he is just an ordinary person with mediocre strength, even if it is the world's No. 1 Hercules, his body is suspended in water that cannot be borrowed, and it is impossible to dismantle this thing.

"Bao, I inquired!"

The system burst out of the forum like an excited puppy.

"Now it should be a time period seven years later, when the old thief of Aoyama oo drew you a personal side story, more than 160 pages, too fat, too fat, all your highlight scenes."

"You know what?! After that one sentence came out, your popularity soared to fourth! ”

"Fourth!! That's just a little bit! ”

The system smacked his tongue, "It's a pity that since then, there has been no role for you, not even a memory kill." As time goes by, a lot of new characters appear, and readers have long forgotten about you, and I looked at the latest voting results, and you didn't make the list......"

What a concept is not on the list?

I didn't show my face at the beginning, but I can still be famous on the list with my beautiful side face

The system is very painful, but fortunately, he has always been able to draw big pies, and he swears a promise, "But now that you are back, as long as you appear again, you will definitely be able to evoke the memories of readers, it is not a dream to return to the top, our goal is to surpass the peak!" ”

Kawashima Esaki: "......"

Kawashima Esaki didn't answer the idea.

The system was a little staggering, and found that the young man took a deep breath and dived under the water to search, but to no avail, and then came up with a rapid gasp.

He seemed to be a little uncomfortable, his lips were pursed very tightly, and his wet red lips turned white.

Even in this case.

Kawashima Ezaki's hand movements still did not stop, and after checking the glass jar of the experimental dish, he clenched his fists and beat it hard, one punch, two punches......

The pale blue unidentified solution splashed with droplets, hung on the young man's wet eyelashes and hair, and rolled down again.

Kawashima Ezaki has used all his strength, but to be honest, the culture tanks in the laboratory are all made of very pressure-resistant bulletproof glass, which cannot be broken by physical strength alone.

"What are you doing?"

The young man's right hand, which was very beautiful with distinct joints, turned from pale to congested red, and cracks opened again, and blood spilled from the wound.

He was breathing faster and faster, and his body began to weaken, showing that the oxygen in the air was no longer enough to supply the human body for strenuous activity.

Kawashima Esaki said dumbly, "...... Save oneself. ”

“… Simple...... Say, I'm deprived of oxygen......"

“！”

The system really didn't expect this stubble.

He forgot that humans need to breathe!

Kawashima Ezaki's consciousness seemed to be disconnected for a moment, and then he was forced to wake up by the pain of choking, he half-closed his eyes, and put his hand on the glass jar without hope.

Knuckles are three short, three long, and three short knocks.

Probably before death there will be a marquee?

Kawashima Esaki remembered that on his first day at the police academy, he went out to dinner with Zero and saw this Morse code on the convenience store sign.

"Da-da-da-da-"

The subtle sound of percussion slowly dispersed in the silent space.

At this time.

Zero, who got the APTX4869 message, was walking through the abandoned laboratory after the incineration with a dimly lit flashlight.

He walks so lightly that he can barely hear a sound.

At the end of the empty corridor, there was a burned, twisted black door, and Falling Valley Zero stepped forward and gently pushed it open, and the carbonized door suddenly fell, stirring up a puff of dust.

The blonde man waved his air.

The flashlight looked around.

This is probably a reference room, relatively well preserved, but the contents have long since disappeared, most of the display cases have been overturned, and several glassware such as test tubes and beakers have been shattered aside.

Zero's gray-blue eyes froze on a medicine bottle, and he walked in to pick it up, checking the label on it by the light of a flashlight.

In the silence, Falling Valley Zero heard the sound of "da-da-da".

Stopping and stopping, ignoring the long pauses, add up to the Morse code distress signal.

Is there anyone here?

Subconsciously took out his hand/gun, and according to the sound that came, he found that it was behind the wall of the display case.

There should be a secret room behind the wall, and there may be survivors in it.

Whoever the other party is, whether the members of the organization or the homeless people who strayed into it, is a major discovery.

The percussion became weak.

Falling Valley Zero pushed open the rotten display case, knocked on the wall, and found that there was a hollow area in the middle, and felt that the wall was very thin, so he kicked it.

The wall fell with ash pouring down, and Falling Valley Zero broke a half-man-high hole, and bent into it with guns in both hands.

The dimly lit chamber was dark and windless, and the vents had not been opened for many years, and there was only a musty and dull smell inside, and when I inhaled it into my body, I felt that my lungs were covered with a layer of shadow.

But the valley zero does not feel the condition of the body at all.

He straightened up, raised his head slightly, and looked at the high, pale blue glow of the test jar in front of him with an incredulous gaze.

The two ends of the tank are black metal structures, and in the middle of the supporting part at the bottom, there is a very faint light source that illuminates the tank from the bottom up, which is nearly three meters high.

In the midst of those brilliant blue transparent solutions, the naked youth floated in them, like a beautiful and flawless mermaid.

The young man's head was slightly raised, the slender neck line was fragile and beautiful, and he seemed to be aware of the arrival, his hair floating, and his half-closed eyelashes were lifted a little.

The crow-colored pupils squinted, but they couldn't focus.

"Da-"

Fingers moved.

He knocked on the tank one last time.

As if he had been hit in the soul, his body under the straight suit began to tremble, and he raised his gun to the young man.

Dreams?

It turned out that I was dreaming again.

The calloused hands that have been sharpened by training day after day are shaking so hard that they need to be held with two hands.

The blond man's gray-blue eyes were fixed on the teacher's young face.

He firmly pulled the trigger as if he had saved the teacher thousands of times in a dream. With a "bang", the test tank cracked a few stripes, and the light blue solution seeped out, but it was not broken.

Zero fired a few more shots in quick succession.

With a crisp cracking sound, a hole finally broke under the jar.

The pale blue solution scrambled out of the hole, tearing through the already cracked tank nearby, and finally a huge cavity appeared.

The young man who was not in a wisp followed the liquid out.

Falling Gu Ling was mostly wet, crawled over with his hands and feet, brushed away the wet hair on the teacher's face, and saw that the person was not reacting, and looked down to listen to the heartbeat in his chest.

"Teacher, teacher."

While doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, he lowered his head and held the young man's soft and cold lips, and pushed the other party's lips and teeth into it.

After many cycles, the cough was like a heavenly sound, pulling his soul back from hell.

Even if it's a dream.

Zero could no longer bear the teacher's death in front of his eyes, and time did not heal the wound, but turned it into rotten flesh that could not be touched.

It was the cold moon of Muai when it was young.

After the fall, it will inevitably become a huge scar in the future life, and Drop Valley Zero has long been aware of this.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem—"

Kawashima Esaki coughed and spat water.

He exhaled heavily, unceremoniously plundering the not fresh air, and slowed down for a few seconds before the large dark spots under his eyes began to dissipate.

With the damp coat draped over his body, Kawashima Esaki squinted his eyes and discerned the man in front of him by the faint light.

The silhouette seems to be a little familiar.

Maybe it was just before he died that he remembered a certain blonde black-skinned police academy student, Kawashima Ezaki shouted uncertainly.

“zero？”

"Teacher ......"

Well, sure enough, it's him.

"Let's get out of here, these solutions aren't sure of the ingredients yet, by the way, you're hurt?"

Kawashima Ezaki straightened his clothes and found that there were tears in the sleeves, and although it was a black fabric, he could feel a wet feeling with a fishy sweet smell that was different from the solution.

Injured ......?

Only then did he feel the pain in his forearm, which should have been cut by the glass shards that were flowing in the solution when he crawled towards the teacher.

You can feel the pain, so it's not a dream?

The person in front of you is a living teacher?!

Zero was powerless to think about why the teacher was here, and he looked exactly like he had been seven years ago, his body being filled with great ecstasy, followed by a steady stream of discomfort and self-blame.

Kawashima Ezaki was stared at by the blonde man's complicated emotions and frowned: "? ”

Zero-ichi hugged him, took a deep breath, tried to restrain his emotions, and his tone was hoarse and choked, "So it's not a dream... You're really alive......"

“…… I'm dead, you're kissing the corpse. ”

The strength of the valley was so great that it almost crushed him into his body, and he corrected it with red circles in his eyes: "It's artificial respiration." ”

"Okay."

Kawashima Ezaki patted the student's back comfortingly, he didn't feel the passage of time deeply, and forgot for a moment that it was seven years later, and he only felt that this guy's shoulders had become a little wider.

Tsk, the size seems to be bigger, obviously a junior, hugging him is unexpectedly suitable?

Kawashima Ezaki just wanted to let Tsukitani Zero hug enough to get out quickly, when a figure suddenly appeared in the hole in the wall where the solution gushed out.

The man squatted down, his curly hair was very recognizable, and the light of the flashlight swayed inside, and he was shocked when he saw a certain face.

"You, you!" ：，，
