"Yes, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." He rubbed his hands on the ground desperately, trying to avoid the light, as if he didn't realize that the source of the light was himself.
"I, I seemed to have lost consciousness for a while, I..."
Ah Yue immediately stepped forward, knelt down and hugged him tightly.
The moment he hugged him, Jianxing finally broke out into hysterical screams.
That scream made A Yue deaf for several days. When he finally recovered his hearing, Jian Xing, whose mental strength had returned to stable, said to him: "Stay away from me."
An Yu was about to continue reading, but the sudden sound of the piano made his consciousness drift.
He has been looking back along Ah Yue's first memory. In this timeline, Li Yin should be dead. Where did the sound of the piano come from?
In shock, he finally realized what was wrong.
This sound is different from Li Yin's playing in countless memory fragments. This is...
As soon as his thoughts sank, he suddenly broke away from Ah Yue's memory.
Ah Yue was still staring in the mirror in a daze. The abnormal tide not far away had been almost eliminated, and the sound of everyone's gasping could be heard on the channel.
The sky became darker, and a pale light was projected from the window behind him. The light source was a star.
The sound of the piano also came from that window.
The sound of the acoustic guitar is simple and soft, and the strings are very old, making a dull noise when plucked.
But it is as gentle as an illusion and makes people's hearts sink.
An Yu had almost never listened to music in his previous life, and after entering the main city, he could not understand the lawful people's hobby of wearing headphones and immersed in electronic rock.
This was the first time that he listened carefully to a piece of music played on an instrument in the real world.
A thin melody, but it passed through the howling wind and snow.
The frosted window obscured the scene inside, and the light coming from the window was gradually weakening.
Ah Yue asked cautiously, "How do you..."
An Yu suddenly turned around and strode towards the building. His mind was a little blank. He didn't know what he was chasing. He just felt that he was walking faster and faster.
The moment he finally pushed open the activity room door, the lights in the door were completely turned off.
The activity room fell into darkness, with only the faint moonlight coming in from outside.
The music has stopped, but Qin Zhilu's hand is still on the strings.
He sat on the ground holding Qin, his back still as straight, but it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of desolation. It was an atmosphere that An Yu had never seen before and could not understand.
"Sir..."
Qin Zhilu nodded slightly and said, "I fell asleep when I saw the stars."
When I fell asleep, the lights were temporarily turned off.
The channel suddenly buzzed for a while, and Jiang Xiao gasped slightly: "Have you killed Jian Xing?"
An Yu was stunned, "Not yet, how..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly understood.
"Not killed?" Jiang Xiao said in surprise: "But the second broken lens has fallen from the air wall."
Qin Zhilu said clearly: "Bai Jing doesn't know Jian Xing, he just accepted Li Yin's instructions. Maybe from the very beginning, Li Yin didn't ask Bai Jing to protect Jian Xing, but hoped that Jian Xing would be safe every night." Go to sleep."
Disarrayed footsteps approached from behind, An Yu was pushed and staggered, Ah Yue rushed into the room and stood in front of Jian Xing, as if she wanted to squat down and hug him, but when she heard the faint sound of sleeping, she suddenly Stand firm.
He covered his mouth with his hands and burst into tears.
Qin Zhilu put down his guitar, stood up and looked at Jianxing's sleeping face.
The white hair was tangled down, covering the black spots left under his eyes after years of sleeplessness, and also hiding the familiar pair of golden eyes.
"Go to sleep." Qin Zhilu said softly, "It seems that many people want you to sleep well."
After saying that, he walked lightly and left the room.
An Yu chased after him, "Sir..."
Qin Zhilu said calmly: "It seems that we have no chance of committing a crime this time."
It was a joke, but An Yu felt that he was not in a relaxed mood.
He looked at him quietly from the side for a while and asked softly, "Sir, did you play a piece of music to coax him to sleep?"
Qin Zhilu said calmly: "I accompanied him to recall some past events."
"What past events?"
"Gene risk test, and killing Li Yin." Qin Zhilu's tone was as calm as ever, "Insomnia is just a disease. The orphan has no knowledge. I taught him some ways to fall asleep, that's all."
An Yu was silent for a moment, "In Area 53, you reminded me that I might suffer from insomnia and nightmares after the induction test. I asked you what to do, but you said you just reminded me and let me figure out how to deal with it myself."
Qin Zhilu paused.
He turned back to look at An Yu, his eyes hard to distinguish. After a while, he suddenly lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
The corridor was dark, and An Yu tried hard to trace the officer's expression with his eyes.
The feeling of desolation seems to have dissipated a bit.
Qin Zhilu nodded and admitted, "That's right. Are you unhappy?"
"No." An Yu stared at him persistently, "I just think you treat me differently."
"At that time, you were just a person who was to be inspected by me." Qin Zhilu raised his feet and continued walking forward, "But the stars are different."
An Yu frowned and followed, "What's the difference?"
"He is a bit similar to the person I am currently supervising, so I really want to give him some extra care." Qin Zhilu replied casually, "Do you have any comments?"
An Yu paused.
He was slightly startled, watching the tall figure walking forward.
In a daze, this long and narrow corridor reminded him of the gene injection test he underwent in the brain not long ago - although the people in the Black Tower and the brain had already respected him at that time, and the pain of the test was negligible, but when he walked out of that corridor When I walked through the metal door, I was still enveloped by the familiar insecurity. I could only try to clear my mind, and stuffed glutinous rice dumplings into my mouth while walking out mechanically.
When he stepped out of the last isolation door that day, the figure in front of him was waiting for him in the corridor.
The outline in my memory gradually overlapped with the shadow in front of me.
An Yu's ears suddenly echoed with Ah Yue's memory. On that night long ago, Jian Xing whispered to Ah Yue: "I always hope that when I come out of the physical examination room, there will be someone waiting for me outside. Take me back. No matter where you go."
Qin Zhilu stopped again and looked back helplessly.
"Are you really unhappy?" He sighed, "My powers haven't been awakened much yet, but my temper is getting worse and worse. What do you think..."
"No, sir." An Yu shook his head gently, took two quick steps to his side, and said meekly: "I'm sorry for making you wait for me. I was just distracted, and suddenly I felt something I've never felt before."
Qin Zhilu nodded and asked casually: "How do you feel?"
An Yu shook his head, "It was just for a moment, I can't remember it."
Qin Zhilu laughed angrily, "You are too close to Tao Tao, and you learned a lot from him."
An Yu remained silent, as if acquiescing, and continued walking beside him.
The feeling was indeed short-lived, but it was not instantly forgotten.
It's just too abstract and thick to describe clearly.
Just like hearing the ticking of countless clocks in the guardian mirror - at that moment, An Yu seemed to hear the sound of fate intertwining.
The author has something to say:
【Snowflakes】Seeing the Stars (2/2) It’s Hard to Sleep Well
The man in black clothes is cold and solemn, making people afraid to look directly at him.
I was convinced that his arrival meant the end of my life.
But I seem to have thought wrong.
Just like more than ten years ago, Ah Yue and I looked at each other from a distance in the medical examination room. I thought that was just another child who was scared by me.
What's wrong today is what was wrong then.
I can never seem to believe that God will suddenly send a lifeline.
But I have always been favored by God.
He said the most heart-wrenching words in a calm tone.
Then he took off the coldness all over his body and played a gentle and desolate melody.
I don't even know when I fell asleep.
But when I fell asleep, the dazzling light suddenly disappeared.
The world seems to be embracing me with the returning darkness.
Tell me I can be forgiven too.

[Scrap Book Pages] 27 Universe Mirror
Occasionally, without warning, people meet people who are very similar to themselves and who are going through similar things to themselves.
Although their actions and endings may not be the same.
But it was like the intersection of parallel time and space, a time that was replicated.
Like a mirror of the universe.
It happens to people who are cherished by the universe, or whom the universe also regrets.
Chapter 45 Orphanage with High Deformation Risk·45
Walking out of the activity room, An Yu paused.
Children surrounded the small building. Under the gloomy night, the uniforms of the orphanage were fluttering in the wind. On those thin and sunken faces, pairs of hollow and bulging eyes stared straight at them.
