Chapter 62: The last promise-on

The sky was completely dark, and the ground was covered with black corrosion. +++Popular Tanmei novel: EbookFREE.me The world is dim, Zhu Yanchen is motionless, (body shen) body is paralyzed because of loss of temperature.
As if only consciousness is floating in the Black Sea.
The revolving lantern after adulthood is only day after day, he can only think of the past, the past sixteen years ago-the only touch of color in his life.
Since Zhu Yanchen can remember, her mother has been sick in bed most of the time. Her face (color) is often pale, her eyebrows and her eyebrows are worryingly sick, so she rarely speaks. Occasionally mother-child communication time, the two are also light. She would not praise him, most of the time she just looked out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.
Father rarely visits mother. The age difference between the two is more than twenty years old, and they owe a lot of greetings to strangers. The young Zhu Yanchen could see that there was no trace of love between his parents, and he had understood the meaning of "political marriage" early on.
There is a big brother with excellent grades on it. He lives like a shadow and is insignificant. He tried to find some friends of the same age, but considering the safety issue, he could not reach the civilians. In the eyes of others, he is just a mediocre and unremarkable young master. It's okay for the moment to be lively, but long-term friendship is not possible-Zhu Sheng has always been iron and blood, and never gives extra favors to his family.
Before the age of twelve, Zhu Yanchen almost thought he was transparent. Three ordinary meals a day, accompany the mother who talks less, then learn ordinary lessons, and finally go to the bedroom (sleeping in Shui). A fixed and boring cycle.
Zhu Yanchen can see his future. The Zhu family will take good care of him, and he will eventually become an unlearned, unknowing trousers.
This is not his conjecture. He has heard the servants talk behind them, heard strangers whispering, and heard the whispering mumbles of peers—
Zhu Yanchen is occasionally taken to some social occasions. Children are the least good at concealing. Although other children will play with him casually, the boredom and contempt in their eyes cannot be faked. Their eyes will slide down the bridge of their noses and pierce his (chest xiong) mouth diagonally.
He does not understand the "high-end" courses of the military school, nor does he have any brilliant talents, and he does not even take care of himself. His body is weak due to lack of exercise, and people are reticent because of little communication, and the word "boring" is plastered all over his body.
The powerful children who came out of the military school are always interested in fighting. Zhu Yanchen didn't want to participate in those topics, and didn't understand (fuck cao) the fun of indulging (chengcheng) people. Over time, "cowardly" appeared next to the "boring" label.
Until he met Shu Jun.
Maybe Shu Jun would never know, that sentence must have given himself so much bright light-Shu Jun didn't know who his father was, that he (chengcheng) person wandered (die si) at a young age On the verge of death, fighting with monsters, without flattering.
[People in this world, you are the coolest I have ever seen! 】
On your own?
But that person was very sure, his voice with a (gan) smile.
A few months later, his mother Xia Jing's illness became more and more serious. As an adoptive mother, Lu (Lu) couldn’t see it. She paid for her private house and got a dormant cabin. She used the old method two hundred years ago to send people to the "other side", only to leave during treatment (off tuo). , To escape the pain.
I don't know how the old man discovered this method.
Lu (Lu) was once a popular national singer. After she married into Xia's family, she stopped performing, but her influence was still there. Zhu Sheng acquiesced to her practice. Xia Jing did not refuse, only made one request, she asked her son Zhu Yanchen to accompany her regularly.
Zhu Yanchen will obey as usual. Unexpectedly, his life turned another way.
He met Shu Jun again.
To his surprise, his mother had no intention of blocking the two people's communication. In this world, she would also look at the blue sky outside the window, but with a smile on her lips.
From then on, he caught the light.
Shu Jun's feelings for him are pure and eager, and Zhu Yanchen can feel it. This person is as lonely as he is, but Shu Jun is much hotter than himself.
That person remembered all the wishes he had said, remembered every little loss and likes and dislikes. Every time his peeking gaze is found, the other person will always come back with a smile.
Zhu Yanchen could not wait to live in that apartment forever.
After getting acquainted with Shu Jun, he began to deliberately come into contact with the relevant knowledge of the Chengcheng people. Zhu Sheng had a heart on his eldest son, and would basically not live the life of Zhu Yanchen, the second son, which was convenient for Zhu Yanchen. He took out the petty items he had saved for a long time, bought his tutor, and got some textbooks for military schools.
This was supposed to be for a seven or eight-year-old freshman. Zhu Yanchen had never seen it before, and he must have been stopped by his mother. He sneaked into the quilt and read line by line with a flashlight.
For children of seven or eight years old, parents will never lie, and the words in the book are the truth. But in this textbook, he (chengcheng) is clearly positioned as an "animal weapon"
…… "He (cheng) people" are artificially cultivated synthetic beasts with high intelligence and special abilities. They live short lives and cannot have offspring. It's just that the current level of technology is limited, causing them to look similar to humans. They are well kept and maintained by border strongholds, usually do not touch civilians and rarely cause chaos. The civilians don’t know much about this. Because of the special nature of these weapons, it is best to isolate them from the civilians...
……He (chengcheng) people have special activity towns, which are all
special venues
created by the coalition government, and all
town residents
have been properly trained...
...
This is a textbook for senior reserve officers. Zhu Yanchen squeezed the page tightly and almost forgot to breathe. The words are lined up neatly, and there is "logical reason" between the lines.
This is reasonable.
We want to defend our relatives and friends and take back our world. Our compatriots do not need to sacrifice any more, we just need to hold the truth to the civilians. On the other hand, we did not abuse the co-(cheng) people. They are taken care of by special personnel, their spirits are relaxed, and their food, clothing, shelter and transportation are better than most people in the settlements.
This is reasonable. We have done this since 200 years ago.
Zhu Yanchen clenched the quilt so that his teeth would not fight. At the time, his mother did not want his father to take him to the military school, so she hired a tutor and used ordinary teaching materials. By now, Zhu Yanchen finally understood her thoughts.
If he enters a military school, he will probably also regard those concepts as truth. With his own tactical ability, my father will quickly pay attention-his best ending is 80% of being nurtured as a deputy to the older brother.
Then he must make good use of his tactical ability to command the cheng to charge into battle. In order to avoid accidents, the "racial gap" education aimed at him will only be more powerful and thorough.
Zhu Yanchen climbed down from the (bed chuang) and stumbled into the toilet, (dry gan) vomiting for a long time.
For some reason, his mother left him a way. She left him blank and asked him to see for himself.
... But this is too heavy, Zhu Yanchen has some six gods without a master. Like most ordinary people, the existence of Hecheng people is only a distant and vague concept. Shu Jun brought this concept to his eyes, and he couldn't close his eyes.
Then came the Reunion Festival.
For the first time, Zhu Yanchen saw the stars in the clear sky and the fireworks blooming in the night (color). It was the first time he cried in front of Shu Jun.
The next day, he found his mother.
His mother is a beauty and once played the piano well. Now she was lying half-skinned in the illusory world, staring at the birds outside the window.
"You can't tell that kid the truth." Xia Jing didn't look at his son.
"why?"
"I've done similar stupid things." She said lightly, "Once your father finds out, he will deal with your friend."
"But I don't want to hide it from him." Zhu Yanchen's voice was a little hoarse after crying for most of the night.
His mother smiled: "It seems that you have your own judgment about that system?"
"...Mom, I'm sorry, I took a peek at related books."
"What do you think?" Xia Jing did not respond to that apology.
"I don't know." Zhu Yanchen said in confusion, "I don't know what to do."
"It's a pity, no one knows." Xia Jing turned her head, her skinny face was a little scary. "I didn't expect you to do anything, Yanchen. I just want you to see it."
A black bird crossed the blue sky, and she was silent for a long time.
"For you, I am not a good mother, I know." She said without a word, "I'm sorry."
Then she lay down and closed her eyes: "I'm going to rest. On the 6th, she will come in and take care of me. Go and see him."
The second hand tremblingly pointed to the hour, the NPC "No. 6" dressed as a servant walked into the door and skillfully closed the curtains and adjusted the room temperature. At last she turned her head and smiled at Zhu Yanchen: "I'll take you out later, you can go out and wait."
Zhu Yanchen couldn't get the answer from his mother, and he froze in place.
The reality that there is no solution pressed over him, causing him to have a pain in his mouth. He is too young to do anything...but he can't do nothing. The overall situation is good, and the world is good. At that time, he couldn't figure out such complicated things. He only wanted to do one thing-to find a way to tell Shu Jun the truth without being discovered by anyone.
On that day, Zhu Yanchen left the dormant cabin and rarely contacted his father's assistant. He asked for an additional course to focus on the knowledge related to people, and to "make up for the progress."
This time his mother didn't embarrass him again.
However, the system is so complicated, what he has learned before is on the surface, and basically can't understand anything. However, he suppressed his instinctive retreat and forced himself to listen.
Remember if you don't understand, learn if you don't understand. Zhu Yanchen no longer passively accepts all arrangements, and no longer question whether he has talent. He began to pressurize himself-he spent almost all the time outside the dormant cabin for learning.
This is the only solution he can think of.
In this way, after entering the "other side", he can face Shu Jun calmly.
For countless nights, he (Shui Shui) couldn't help, so he could only hold the other person tightly in his arms, thinking about the difficult knowledge. Whenever he is hugged by him, Shu Jun has always been very honest, with a smile on the corners of his mouth.
"Good night." Before he can't hold it (sleeping Shui), he will always secretly (kiss wen) the top of the other's hair.
Zhu Yanchen once thought that if this kind of life lasts for a few years, there may be a turning point. But their separation came quickly.
Not long after the Reunion Festival, his half-brother was assassinated (to kill sha). When the thing (fafa) was born, the eldest brother's wife, newborn child, and the family were all in the car. Zhu Sheng temporarily changed his schedule and escaped.
The eldest brother is ten years older than him, and he has never been a family. In the only few meetings, he didn't say a word to Zhu Yanchen, the two brothers are not much different from strangers. Zhu Yanchen didn't have much emotional shock.
He only felt terrible—this was the world he was about to step into.
But he has no choice.
That night, Zhu Yanchen hugged Shu Jun tightly and almost awoke Shu Jun.
The impact of this tragedy does not stop there. Losing his eldest son and grandson on the same day, Zhu Sheng once again set his sights on this "bad" son. Zhu Yanchen's efforts during this period of time have not been able to conceal Zhu Sheng.
"Not bad." Zhu Sheng said, his tone a little blunt. Compared with the last time the father and son met, his hair is more than half gray. "It's a good thing to have the energy to study. Your mother is very ill. It's useless for you to stay with me anymore. Come with me."
Zhu Yanchen didn't lower his head. For the first time, he looked directly at his father's eyes and shook his head firmly. Zhu Sheng only acts as a child sticking to his mother, without (强qiang) pressure.
After that, Zhu Yanchen had a particularly bad premonition-he might not spend much time with Shu Jun.
But he never thought that everything would come to an abrupt end like that.
...That was the darkest period in his life.
Zhu Yanchen's long-term efforts have been effective. In just six months, he has learned the university courses of the military school all the way.
"In the early stages of production, a chengcheng person will be implanted with specific brain fragments. It is sensitive to specific facts and can stimulate a traumatic stress response, allowing the chengcheng person to avoid specific facts on its own. The existence of the system's form will be forgotten spontaneously. We call this phenomenon'intra-brain shock'..."
"Teacher, is this approach foolproof?"
"Not necessarily. There have been individuals who were not sensitive to brain shocks in history. Even ordinary individuals may have some impressions after being subjected to (strong qiang) emotional shock. To be foolproof, supporting facilities must be complete. . Brain shock is the last line of defense. The best thing to do is not to let the chengcheng people contact sensitive information..."
Zhu Yanchen tensed his face and tried to make himself expressionless: 强qiang) strong emotional impact?"
"The impact that the human brain can accommodate is limited. Two waves (strong qiang) of big impacts come one after another, and they cannot all be handled properly. For the impact in the brain..."
"Is the brain shock related to age?" Zhu Yanchen continued to question.
"It seems that you like this topic very much." The teacher is not annoyed, just pushing his glasses. "Juveniles are more receptive than adults (strong qiang), and their understanding of reality is not deep enough. It is very likely that they can't react (fa) what is born. The impact in the brain takes longer and has fewer side effects. ."
"Then... the brain shock will only appear in the real world, or is it...?"
"What are your problems?" The instructor smiled. "On the'over there' there are only chengcheng people. They will never know the truth out of thin air. In order to better simulate the five senses, the dormant cabin has a certain degree of thinking. The (dry gan) disturbing effect. As long as the person is on the'side', the brain shock will not happen."
"I understand." Zhu Yanchen bit the pen, "Thank you."
He must tell Shu Jun about it while they can still meet on the "other side".
But every time Zhu Yanchen looked at the other party with a smile on his face, Zhu Yanchen couldn't speak. How will Shu Jun react after he tells the truth? Will he be desperate? Will you hate yourself? Would he not laugh like this anymore?
Day after day, Zhu Yanchen studied almost masochistically in reality. When he arrived on the other side, he saw Shu Jun frowning and talking to him about the upcoming "simulation test", and the words he had prepared were rotten in his heart.
Another day, just wait another day. He said to himself.
His father was waiting to pull him into school, and his mother fell into a coma (sleeping Shui) because of illness. This was the last point of his warmth.
"Ayan, look at this!" Shu Jun showed him a strange-looking bracelet. "With this, I can simulate the ability in "Erosion". Ayan, let me tell you, my ability is very powerful! If it is not for outside school, I can't use it casually..."
He put on the bracelet and made vigorous gestures: "I can even fly!"
Zhu Yanchen's heart was sour: "Hmm."
"When we grow up, I will definitely take you to fly once." Shu Jun (touching Mo) (touching Mo) chin. "Speaking of, A Yan, we tomorrow..."
"Tomorrow I have something to tell you." Looking at the other's expectant face, Zhu Yanchen forced himself to sigh. "Very important thing."
"Ah good."
Shu Jun took a closer look at his expression again.
"Ayan... If there is something unhappy, you must tell me."
"……Ok."
On the second day, the guest room of the command center. Zhu Yanchen was fully psychologically prepared. As soon as he stepped into the dormant cabin with one foot, he was pulled out by the nanny.
"Don't go, your mother is in an accident," she said nervously.
Zhu Yanchen's heart beat for a while.
Things are different from what he imagined-his mother is still alive, rather, it is too "lively". Not long ago, his mother fell into a coma and stayed in the dormant cabin for almost 24 hours. At this time, the mother should be on the "other side".
But now she woke up with a face full of confusion, yelling sharply because of pain.
"It is said that the dormant cabin opened by itself and Miss Xia woke up by herself."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"She said she was not Miss Xia, what kind of number six is ​​she, come to see Young Master Zhu..."
"What's the mess?!"
"Ms. Xia's situation... the situation is not right, I can't find anyone. Miss Xia... logs into the game "Erosion" every day, I just want to... just to find Yanchen's reaction situation." No. 6 is against Xia Jing's ( Body shen) body, choked hard. "Why... why does it hurt so much—"
Her cry was so loud that she could hear it clearly outside the door.
"Shhh, here comes the head."
"what happened?"
"Mr. Zhu, your wife... Your wife's situation is too special. She fell into a deep coma, and the image of the'other side' must have changed. The NPC on the'other side' follows the first aid rules and wants to find someone to be a contact person. Zhu Yanchen. It temporarily surpassed the restriction and used the sleeping cabin on the'over side'. It is now... uh..."
"Simply put, the artificial program dominates Xia Jing's body."
"Yes... yes, we never thought that this would happen, so sorry."
"Hmm." Zhu Sheng was silent for a few seconds. He turned his head and saw Zhu Yanchen who was at a loss in the crowd. Then he took a few steps forward and put a hand on it.
"It seems that you have some luck." His unsmiling father commented, "This is an unprecedented breakthrough, Yanchen. If a reasonable training program can replace the'original consciousness', we don't need to engage in brain shock. set."
"This is the good luck you brought, and it seems that the security of the player system (sexing) needs to be further improved."
For a time, Zhu Yanchen didn't know what to despair.
Is the mother's condition worsening again? Is the tone of the father evaluating the mother?
Or is he reluctant to leave "that side" for a long time, causing the player system to be further promoted? Zhu Yanchen is no longer ignorant-now he knows that if the research in this area is successful, people will not only die in lies. They may have been replaced by npc programs earlier because of sexual xing) pattern inappropriate".
He took a deep breath, broke away from his father's hand, turned his head and ran.
There is a father on the mother's side, and he can't do anything. But about the "other side", there are still things he can do--
He must see Shu Jun.
The stumbling figure in the memory rushed into the dark depths, and Zhu Yanchen (Lu) in reality gave a wry smile.
Maybe from that day on, everything will be irreversible. He could feel the clammy eclipse crawling on his (chest xiong), he sighed, interrupted the memory, and released the gun in his hand.
They can't cross the two hundred years of corpse mountain, if this is the end, it will end like this.
But he emptied his brain and waited for a long time, but the pain he expected did not appear. His (body shen) body is getting lighter, the (chest xiong) mouth pain has disappeared, and all the pain has disappeared. His feet were itching, like frostbitten limbs, touching the stove. Zhu Yanchen reacted quickly, his wounds are healing, everything is...
Very warm.
Those weird hands wrapped him awkwardly and carefully, like a hug.
