Chapter 63: The last promise-next

Shu Jun remembered every detail of the separation. +++All Tanmei Novels: EbookFREE.me
In fact, he had a faint hunch about their separation. After the reunion festival, Yanchen's mood is getting worse and worse. For this, Yanchen's own explanation was that his mother was seriously ill and worried, but Shu Jun knew that was not all.
What secret did the man hide, like burying a blade in the heart, and concealing the pain (strong qiang). Seeing him sad, Shu Jun became anxious, and it was not a good idea to (强qiang) to force him--he asked how many times, but Yanchen did not want to say.
Yanchen is usually closest to him, so he must have his own reasons.
He had to treat the smoke better, trying to dilute the other's sadness.
Shu Jun has always been (sleeping Shui) very fast, but before they parted, he gradually lost (sleeping Shui). He will deliberately listen to the breathing rate of the smoke and dust. Once he finds that the other party is not (sleeping Shui), he (chest xiong) has a blocked mouth and has to pretend to be (sleeping Shui)-if smoke is found out, smoke and dust will definitely take the impact. It's a bit sadder for myself.
Thinking that he (sleeping Shui) is ripe, Yanchen will gently (kiss wen) the top of his hair, holding him restrained and desperately. Shu Jun let him hold him, and was strangled without saying a word. Make sure that the smoke (sleep Shui) is over, he will get up and pull the quilt, and then gently hug the person in the mouth of (xiong).
As long as you do this, the tangled brows of the smoke and dust will stretch out.
Shu Jun made every effort and tried to share all the interesting things he encountered with Yanchen. I don't know why, but the sorrow in his eyes darkened even more.
"Tomorrow I have something to tell you, a very important thing." Yan Chen said so when they knew each other for a year.
It seemed that Yanchen finally couldn't hold it, planning to show off with him.
Shu Jun sat down at home early, and even made two cups of tea and added some sugar. But the tea was so cool, and the smoke did not come—the smoke was a punctual person and he had never been late this year.
Finally, when Shu Jun was thinking about whether to go out to find someone, the door was finally knocked.
The appearance of the smoke frightened Shu Jun-he was panting, his body was sweaty, and his expression looked frightened and hopeless.
"Come in." Shu Jun quickly fetched a hot towel, poured two cups of herbal tea together, mixed the heated tea warmly, and handed it to the smoke. "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
"I can't stay here long."
The smoke poured into half a cup of tea, wiped his face, and pressed his hands on Shujun's shoulders.
"I'm sorry." He choked for a long time before finally speaking, his eye circles a little red. "... "Erosion" is not a game, your world is."
"Ayan, what are you talking about?"
"I lied to you. I am not from this world, I come from "Erosion". Shu Jun, this world is all fake. Its education and propaganda all fall to "Erosion". But have you seen other games? There is only such a dominant family, and it has lasted for more than a hundred years. This is simply not normal..."
Shu Jun never expected that the smoke and dust held in his heart was such a terrifying thing. The other party's condition does not seem right. Maybe it is a stimulus. Should he apply for medical assistance?
"Please." Yanchen's voice choked, "Trust me."
Shu Jun bit his lip and retracted his hand: "You continue talking."
"You are the'living weapons' trained by us. They are so much more than ordinary people (strong qiang) that they are carefully controlled like this. When you die in "Erosion", people are really gone. There is no career change, real Life players simply don’t exist..."
"But on the day of the reunion festival, we all saw Xu Kan." Shu Jun murmured, "Ayan, are you uncomfortable? Xu Kan did die in "Erosion", and he looks okay. Here it is. Multiplayer, not everyone is a player..."
"That's not Xu Kan at all, it's artificially made NPCs. They belong to the family. Most people in this city are real NPCs." Yanchen closed his eyes painfully, "Remember that at the beginning, you brought Did I go home the night?"
"remember."
"My mother is too ill. Come here to escape from the illness and I will accompany her." Zhu Yanchen said softly, "She kept asking me to walk more. The night we met, I was sad alone and got on the bus while walking. . You should have noticed something that day."
Indeed, Shu Jun felt something was wrong with the mention of Smoke. The security of this city has always been good, and the night lighting is also sufficient. There are many shops open 24 hours a day, and there are people on the street at all times. He encountered smoke and dust near the city center, but the smoke and dust looked terrified.
Having known each other for so long, Shu Jun is quite clear about Yanchen's (sexual xing) pattern. Yanchen didn't like to trouble others. They had only one side at the beginning, and his request for lodging was a little abrupt.
This is not a big deal. Shu Jun had fun, and gradually forgot about it.
"I also learned later. In order to reduce the difficulty of monitoring, only the world around the'player' is running. There is a player near his mother's residence. The bus drove out of his perception and everyone in the car stopped moving. I was scared. It’s broken, so I want to go with you...As long as I’m around you, the world is normal."
Shu Jun's brain buzzed, he instinctively felt that these were not credible. But when you listen carefully, the smoke doesn't seem to be talking nonsense. Years of common sense and trust in friends fought together, and it was difficult to distinguish victory or defeat for a while: "I...I don't know, I will think about..."
Smoke exhales a long breath. He picked up the fruit knife on the table and pierced directly towards the mouth.
Shu Jun was so scared that his soul flew away, and quickly grabbed the knife. Before he could make a move, the tip of the knife stopped at Zhu Yanchen's mouth-a barrier appeared out of thin air, blocking the tip of the knife, and let out a 　. The tip of the knife can pierce the skin, bleeding a little blood (color).
"Are you (gan gan)?!" Shu Jun grabbed the knife and carefully inspected the wound.
"This is the special insurance given over there as a ‘human’." Yanchen clenched his fist and put his chin on Shu Jun’s shoulder, his voice choked completely. "Neither my mother nor I will be fatally injured here, I..."
It's a pity that Shu Jun didn't hear these words, and he felt a pain in the back of his head, as if he had been beaten with a sap. The world turned over, he opened his eyes wide and tried to look in the direction of the smoke and dust
In the blurred vision, a circle of blue light flashed from the soles of Smoke and Dust's feet and disappeared directly into the room.
When he woke up again, Shu Jun was paralyzed on the back chair and the room was empty. There is no blood (color) on the fruit knife, and two cups of herbal tea are still on the table. Everything about (fafa) seems to be an illusion, only time flows by.
Is it a dream?
The hot towel is in place, and the floor is as clean as new. Shu Jun slowly (touches Mo) on his shoulder. There are some unnatural water stains on his shoulders, (touching Mo) it is a bit cold, like tears.
Shu Jun took a deep breath.
That night, he entered (sleeping Shui) alone for the first time. Shu Jun tossed over and over again (sleeping Shui), Yanchen's words echoed in his mind.
It's too ridiculous, it makes people feel like it is not at all true. But Smoke and Dust suffered from this for several months, not like a whim or a sudden collapse. The verification is actually very simple. If he could see the smoke again, it would be nice to ask about tonight.
It's just that Shu Jun had a bad hunch, he didn't know if they could still meet.
Shu Jun covered his head with a pillow, hugged the soot cup, and began to think seriously. It's nothing more than fake, what if what Yanchen said is true? The tears of the smoke and dust on the reunion night, the changes in the smoke and dust for more than half a year, the strange rules of "Erosion"... all have an explanation.
Shu Jun closed his eyes, his heart sinking slowly.
The smoke did not come the next day, nor did the third day. He passed through his life like a ghost that never existed. About a week later, the winter snow completely melted, and the final simulation test was about to start, and the smoke did not appear as usual.
Two pots of Platycodon grandiflorum are close to each other, and they are growing well. Shu Jun stared at the sandbox game that lacked opponents for a while and stood up.
A Yan gave him enough clues that he could use-Yanchen's mother to recuperate, and he would definitely choose a ready-made place with a nice view outside the window. Yanchen arrived here by bus that night. He was scared at the time, and he certainly didn't take too long.
And there are players who live near his residence.
Shu Jun changed the sand table to a map of the city center and began to investigate one by one.
There is only one place that meets all the conditions. In the garden hotel in the city center, a member of the Blackbird team had booked a room there and lived there for a long time.
"A shy and delicate little boy?" When asked by Shu Jun, the team member was stunned for a while. "I have no impression, but besides me, there are indeed people who live here for a long time. Several times, I saw a maid bringing up a meal. I spoke to her and her employer lived in v4... When is v4 coming? Anyway, it is the v4 area, I don't know anything else."
"Thank you."
v4 is the most upscale area with only 5 rooms. Shu Jun didn't knock on the door for the first time. He quietly followed behind the cleaning staff and peered into every room.
Only the v41 room has not been cleaned. The cleaning staff seemed to be hypnotized, without even looking at it.
"What are you doing (gan)?" Shu Jun was just about to investigate further when he was caught by a man dressed as a manager. "This is a VIP area, not a place for children to play."
Shu Jun gave a haha ​​and was pulled to the front door by the collar.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He grinned, "I just came to look for the brother of the Blackbirds and found the wrong room."
The manager nodded sullenly and turned back to the hotel.
......There are ghosts when you make mistakes. Shu Jun rolled his eyes and, with a cheeky face, quietly pasted back like a brown candy. The manager Xu did not expect to return the carbine so quickly. After returning to his seat, he neatly activated the light screen, completely unaware of Shu Jun squatting in the decorative bushes.
"Shu Jun, no, s-001 is still looking for Zhu Yanchen's trace, and has found the v4 zone so far."
"Empty the room as soon as possible."
"What happened to Zhu Yanchen?"
"Mr. Zhu has already educated him. Zhu Yanchen will come to deal with Mrs. Xia's belongings on the 17th and save the data as a thought."
"Why are you dragging it to the 17th? Wouldn't it be possible to fix it early? It will take three days."
"The 17th is the simulation test time of the training school, s-001 will not come (gan gan) to disturb."
"Understood, then I will be the manager for three more days. About s-001..."
Shu Jun didn't look any further.
He just remembered that he had slipped a few laps nearby, so it seemed natural. After that, he didn't remember how he got home, and he lost the feeling of hunger or (gan) thirst. His world was completely broken, but the surrounding environment was so peaceful and beautiful, the impact became more and more false.
In the previous days, he only had to worry about school grades and three meals a day. Now he looks at the busy people in the distance, and he will feel terrified.
... After the loss of smoke and dust for so long, Shu Jun's heart twisted into a ball.
Yanchen had been here that night and was discovered by the family. The people of "Erosion" certainly don't want the players to discover the truth. Smoke and dust can be regarded as telling him, and 80% will be punished. Seeing this, they are unlikely to meet again.
I know something I shouldn't know. Once he behaves too obviously, or tells others about it... Let's not say whether others will believe it, maybe everyone will be dealt with.
Perhaps this is the most reasonable ending. The smoke disappeared, like a cluster of fireworks in his life. And he holds this terrible secret in his arms, pretending that he doesn't know anything, slowly looking for a back path, or (gan) just accept his life.
... pretend to be a fart, admit your fate
He was powerless to change reality, and the smoke and dust born on the "other side" seemed to be overwhelmed by guilt.
He is too weak now to save his compatriots. But at least he still has the power to save his most important person.
Knowing that this world is fake makes many things much easier. Shu Jun looked at the luxurious hotel building and had an idea in his mind.
He does not accept such a distinction.
The mock test is held in the school. The test is divided into single-player simulation battle and tactical planning. For children, monster projection and sand table miniature are enough. The school does not open an examination room in "Erosion".
Shu Jun put on the ability simulation bracelet, and the examiner activated it. It stands to reason that he will enter the fighting room next to fight the monster projection.
As a result, Shu Jun smiled at the examiner, flying into the sky.
This is the "game", and the so-called "ability simulation" bracelet is the real skill item. And this bracelet can theoretically be used off the court, so let him use it well.
Shu Jun ignored the examiner's angry shouts and flew to the downtown hotel.
The v4 area is on the top floor of the hotel, with a great view and beautiful large windows. Shu Jun floated in the air and looked into the window.
His smoke is standing on the other side of the window. I haven't seen it for more than ten days, the smoke and dust has become haggard, and finally the firmer body has become thin again. He looked at Shu Jun in amazement, but his eyes were still red and swollen.
Shu Jun could hear the alarm from far and near, and he took a few deep breaths and smiled at the smoke.
"Ayan, stand further."
The smoke and dust just stepped back, the wind blade flew out, and the glass shattered.
"Shu Jun, you..."
"Let's go." Shu Jun supported the window frame that lost the glass, "I will take you away."
Yanchen shook his head vigorously: "Father already knows about you, I...I pleaded with him, if you continue like this, you will—"
Shu Jun smiled.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed Yanchen's wrist. The wind gathered between his body and the wall and bounced him away from the window.
Once the skill is activated, it cannot be stopped immediately. The wind pushed Shu Jun out of the city, his best friend with a pale face still hung on his wrist. The two were flying over the city, and countless guard trackers followed from behind and were shot down one by one by Shu Jun's wind blade.
The remaining trackers began to counterattack, and the hot beam passed through Shu Jun's body. The blood drenched his student uniform so much, but Shu Jun just grinned, his eyes always looking forward, without screaming.
Fearing to let go of the smoke and dust in the pain, Shu Jun grabbed his waist to make him hold more firmly.
"Stop it." Yanchen roared, "Stop it!"
"I know, I want to let you go, so you ran away... Ayan, what kind of love did you beg for?"
"..."
"Tell me." Shu Jun took another blow, gasping with pain.
"Father asked me to choose." As if a century had passed, Yanchen looked away. "As long as you don't make things worse, he can only erase your memory of me and the truth... I can also choose to take you out, in his words, be a'pet' and keep it at home."
This word was squeezed from his teeth.
"Your wind power is very (strong qiang), he wants to keep it. He will choose an inferior body that he doesn't use and stuff your mind into it."
"Oh, you can already do this." Shu Jun smiled stiffly, spinning around flexibly in the air, and dodge a few beams. A light hit the back of his instep and it hurt.
But he has never been so sober.
"So which one did you choose?" he asked.
Yanchen stretched out his hand and covered his eyes: "You guessed it."
Shu Jun sighed and kissed the top of his hair: "Yes, I guess."
"But I don't want to choose either." Yanchen's (bodyshen) body trembled a little. "I--"
"Very good, we have at least time to say goodbye." Shu Jun grinned, "I also know what you think, and it's the same if I change... A Yan, you chose the right one. You really want me to be your pet, I I will hate you sooner or later...I don't want to hate you."
He speeds up the sprint suddenly, leaving all the guard trackers behind him. Against the pressure of the wind, Smoke buried his face in his neck, and he cried silently as usual, with more and more tears.
"If I get better..." he whispered.
"Here." Shu Jun interrupted him.
Yanchen raised his head, and his whole person was stunned.
Shu Jun flew all the way to the outside of the city, easily surpassed the ground level, and flew to the outside garden that only adult players have the right to touch.
The flower field is endless, and there are many round glass domes embedded in it. Shu Jun stopped on the highest dome and opened his arms. The flowers swayed gently around him, and the sweet and refreshing colors collided with each other. A thin mist spread against the ground. Set against the clear blue sky and fragrant wind, the picture in front of it is like a fairyland.
That is a scene that would never exist in "Erosion".
"I planned to come together as an adult." He wiped the blood from his lips. "Now it seems that we have limited time... It seems that you really didn't lie to me. The world is really not very real."
The smoke and dust are protected by "human protection", but he doesn't. Those guard trackers almost beat Shu Jun into a sieve. He shed a lot of blood, but he didn't see the slightest feeling of weakness, only a burst of pain.
The evidence is as strong as a mountain.
"You are my most important person. I want to bid you farewell." Seeing the smoke and dust did not say a word, he said again.
Yanchen sat on the glass dome, staring blankly at the blooming flowers around him, and at Shu Jun's scarred body. His whole body was stained with Shu Jun's blood, the whole figure seemed to be stunned by reality, and he couldn't say anything.
"Don't you hate me?"
After a while, he carefully confirmed that his voice was shaking.
"I knew these things for a long time, and I kept hiding it from you...Don't you hate me?"
"Hate, you should have said it earlier." Shu Jun sat down in front of him, and the bright red blood slid down the glass dome. "Although I understand, you must have difficulties-but if you told me earlier, you won't be alone for so long."
"you……"
"You haven't done anything yet, have you?"
"You don't understand!" This time Yanchen did not conceal her cry again, "I...I have been studying lately, studying hard. But the more I learn, the more clearly I can't save you, Shu Jun, I can't save you!"
The flowers and leaves rubbed, and the nice rustle wrapped everything. The pain for a long time broke through a point and burst out from the crack.
"Even if I...I don't eat or sleep (Shui), I'm a genius once in a thousand years, and I can't save you. I will only be able to access advanced equipment until I reach adulthood, and my father will not allow me to concentrate. To study these, I will not have the support of a formal team... There are too many things to be studied. According to the current progress, it is not something that a single generation can complete... Why are we about the same age?
The sound of smoke and dust seemed to be bloody, and his hands slowly clenched into fists on the glass dome.
"...I can't save you..."
"Ayan." Shu Jun stretched out his hand and wiped the tears from the smoke, rubbing the other's face even more. "On the night of the reunion festival, you asked me. You asked me, ‘everyone tells you that this is right, but what do you think is not right, what would you do’—"
Smoke choked twice and nodded.
"I want to answer again." Shu Jun blinked hard so that he wouldn't cry together. "If you think the player system is not good, as long as you can stick to your own ideas, it will be great."
He tried to make his voice sound light.
"I can't save me and I don't have a (guanguan) department. Xu Kan can work hard for so long, so surely I can. How about we make an agreement."
"what……?"
"I made an agreement with you." Shu Jun raised his blood-stained little finger, "The ones you taught me are carved in my bones. They are my things. Even if I forget you, I will keep winning. Even if I can’t be with you, I will stay with you as long as possible, okay?"
"You, you haven't seen the battlefield, you can't guarantee..."
"If I do it, I will always be alive." Shu Jun suppressed another wave of sour eyes. "In exchange, don't forget me, and don't forget your current thoughts. I like friends from school, brothers and sisters who like the team...When you grow up, for my sake, be kind to them. Okay. ?"
"You can't win forever." Yanchen wiped her tears casually, "I can't climb much."
"Hurry up (gou)." Shu Jun raised his voice. "What nonsense. You are the most handsome and the most powerful I have ever seen. You can definitely become a great person."
Smoke was silent for a long time, until the shadow of the guard tracker appeared on the horizon.
He stretched out his cold and trembling hand, and gently pulled Shu Jun (gou): "Okay, this is what you promised me"
His voice shook harder: "You will never lose."
"We can say goodbye." Shu Jun took a sigh of relief, "I have said everything I want to say, at least...at least there is no regret."
The guard tracker is getting closer.
His heart beats wildly in pain, not like this, Shu Jun thought. This is not what he wants to say, he—
The smoke moved.
"Did you know?" He was still choking, with a cold hand stroking Shu Jun's face. "My teacher told me that if you leave behind a huge... huge emotional shock, you might remember a little bit about me."
He got closer, leaned forward awkwardly, and (kissed) Jun's cheek.
[Our teacher said, kiss (kiss wen) means "like". 】
[Kissing on the cheek means "like". 】
Something exploded in the (chest xiong) mouth, and Shu Jun could no longer maintain his smiling face. He hugged the smoke and dust tightly.
"I like you too!" He cried loudly, "Can you not leave, I don't want you to go, I don't want to forget you."
He hugged him with all his strength, crying with tears and nose.
"I don't want to forget you, Ayan—"
Then his world plunged into darkness. It is no longer the black of nothingness, but the real darkness. When he woke up again, he was faced with the school mock test make-up exam.
Since that day, he has forgotten the most special person in his life.
Now he finally found the man back.
The and miserable images are still spinning in his mind, and Shu Jun can't feel his body. The memory was completely restored, and his body was also completely shattered and dissolved in the swamp. His mind no longer functions like a human being, his brain seems to spread out, and his body melts into every place. He stretched his bodyshen) body", and his soul floated up like a drink. Despair and hatred become exciting, and Shu Jun has never been so relaxed.
The nightmare that was once condensed into a substance, accompanied by despair and hatred, whispered to him.
No, maybe it's not a nightmare, maybe he himself. Since he destroyed the other two marshes and turned into marshes, a lot of information similar to instinct has poured in. At the center of the dark whirlpool, the silent voice grew louder and louder.
This is your new life, you can become anything. Just like Tianfeng or a mirror eroding the swamp, you get a brand new form, (强qiang) big form.
If you make the right choice, you can destroy sigma, destroy everything-sweep away all enemies, and live forever in such a comfortable form.
Dip in a strong hatred, this proposal is indeed heartwarming. It's just that he could feel the body temperature of the other person. Zhu Yanchen's body temperature was lowering. He knelt in the cold corrosive mass, as desperate as they were when they parted.
"Very tempting proposal."
He answered very (dry) crisply.
"But I like my original look better-things can be troublesome if I can't hold the person I like."
Zhu Yanchen's black (colored) hands gradually merged and twisted. The erosive surging is transformed into human bones and skin, followed by clothing. Shu Jun stretched out his arms and hugged him tightly.
The heavy negative emotions made him a little dizzy, and the restored memory made his (chest xiong) sting. In the process of recovering his figure, Shu Jun thought about countless long talks, but after he hugged Zhu Yanchen, he just couldn't say a word.
He sighed, lowered his head, and firmly (kissed) the lips of the opponent.
