Late at night.
Everything was quiet, except for street lights and a few neon signs, nothing else was on.
The dark night covered many unknown changes, and everything looked as usual, but in areas that ordinary people could not perceive, the sea was rough, and black clouds in the distance were carrying huge waves, which were about to hit...
"Zhou Qi, I'm afraid..."
In the room, Li Qingqing's cold and small voice suddenly sounded.
Zhou Qi opened his eyes: "I'm scared too."
"..."
"..."
The air was quiet for a while.
"What are you afraid of?" Li Qing was a little confused.
Zhou Qi's expression was a little innocent: "Shouldn't you be sleeping at my sister's place? When did you come to my bed..."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Li Qing, who was huddled next to him.
"I……"
Li Qing felt her face was a little hot, and she didn't know how to explain it.
"I'm afraid of disturbing Xin'er..."
Li Qing's voice is like a mosquito.
Yes,
Because the college entrance examination is tomorrow, Zhou Xin did not study until very late. She took Li Qing early to get ready for bed. Of course, she chatted on the bed for a while before going to bed, but she must have been too tired recently, so she fell asleep while chatting. Li Qing originally wanted to sleep, but she felt very uneasy, as if staying with the other person for a long time would infect the other person...
In addition, I was suppressing a lot of things mentally and didn't know who to talk to. After hesitating for a long time, I came to see Zhou Qi.
With clothes on, of course.
"...Okay, then what are you afraid of?" Zhou Qi turned around and looked at the ceiling and asked.
Li Qing lay beside his shoulder and murmured in a low voice: "The end of the world... I'm afraid of the end of the world that you mentioned... I still can't believe or imagine the end of the world, I just feel very scared in my heart and I don't know what to do. I don’t know what the future will be like, I just don’t understand why everything has changed when everything was fine..."
She unconsciously started crying and sobbing:
"Zhou Qi, are you really a reborn person who has been reborn countless times? I don't want to believe it, tell me quickly, this is all fake, it's all a dream, okay..."
"Okay. This is all fake, it's a dream."
Zhou Qi was very calm.
"..."
The somewhat sad atmosphere that had been exaggerated suddenly came to an end.
Li Qing sobbed and was speechless.
After a long time, she calmed down a little and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I heard you told them that you would transform Zhonghai City into a doomsday... Is it true? Is this also part of your plan?"
"yes."
"..." Li Qing sniffed and her voice trembled slightly: "What about those people? My parents, our friends, classmates, roommates, those people we care about...don't you care about them?"
"Of course not." Zhou Qi replied: "I have arranged it so that those who don't deserve to die will not die."
"..."
Li Qing didn't reply.
She thought of Su Zhiyun. Zhou Qi said that the other party was not dead but resurrected. Is it true?
She still doesn't know.
When I went to find those people and contacted those superior leaders, they didn't seem to mention these things.
"But won't they turn into monsters?"
Li Qing asked again.
She still remembered the rules Zhou Qi told her.
Several conditions for becoming a monster are being unable to control emotions, being "close" to the doomsday, and "believing" in the doomsday. If you stay in Zhonghai, wouldn't you soon turn into a monster?
But Zhou Qi explained: "If everything goes well, they won't have time to change, but...it's all the same, and they will still have to change in the future anyway."
"..."
Li Qing was silent.
At this time Zhou Qi said again: "There are some things I can't explain. I will go back in a few days. Do you want to come with me?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Li Qing asked in a muffled voice: "Why do I always feel that you don't regard the end of the world as an important thing at all... Isn't Zhonghai going to the end of the world? Why do you want to go back..."
"You should ask me why I came out."
"Why?"
"When I came back this time, I just wanted to go home and take a look and have a rest."
"..."
"Being in Zhonghai is the norm for me... Understand.
So I have to go back in a few days, in order to maintain the situation..." Zhou Qi seemed to be feeling a little emotional:
"0 degree and 100 degree water, peaceful world and doomsday, people and monsters, living and dead... they are all the same to me, so no matter what is there, it will not delay my return.
I just feel that it is a pity that for the first time I encountered a world where the end has not yet come, but it is still going to be destroyed. It is because of me...
So I think, while doing something, try to maintain the original stable state of this world, so that when the end comes, it will be too late to break it..."
Li Qing asked in a low voice: "How do you maintain it? Isn't the world already in chaos...I heard from Professor Su that there is news."
"Oh..." Zhou Qi said thoughtfully: "What they said is not accurate...
There is a saying... When things prosper, the people suffer; when they perish, the people suffer.
Ordinary people will always be the most harmed by the changes in the world. The so-called troubled times are when everyone cannot survive in peace and never know what will happen in the future...
And now? Although it was chaotic, it was the elites of the entire world who were in chaos. Ordinary people were not affected at all, and instead received a lot of benefits. "
"Um...yes!" Li Qing suddenly realized.
Yes.
From the very beginning, Zhou Qi's act of asking the authorities to help him eliminate online public opinion and public influence was not to hide himself. He didn't care whether he was exposed or not, what about the apocalypse or rebirth. If someone asked these questions, he would Never hide it.
He has never done anything to ordinary people, but instead helps them. Whether it is directly saving Zhang Xiansheng, Tang Yu and others, or indirectly saving many many other people through various means, this is Zhou Qi Real help to them.
Later, although everything he did caused a lot of trouble, for ordinary people, it had long been weakened to the point where it had little impact. At most, they felt that the country was taking some actions and there was some big news recently. Like, what should I be doing or what I am doing.
Only the Internet.
It seems that the blockade of the Internet and the real-name system have had a considerable impact on everyone. Many people are unable to live a good life after their online side is exposed. There are also some who commit suicide due to depression.
But honestly speaking... Is this Zhou Qi's fault?
But... who can understand this.
Conservatives see what is in front of them and themselves, and have never looked down. They are worried about the impact on their own status quo and the inability to maintain stability in the future. They are not worried about ordinary people.
But it doesn’t matter anymore.
Zhou Qi didn't feel guilty, repentant, or overflowing with sympathy. He just felt a pity that the world could continue to live for a long time, but it was going to be destroyed early because of him.
In this case, it is appropriate to make some compensation.
Maybe he will be misunderstood, or the compensation may not be effective... That doesn't matter, he doesn't feel anything.
But Zhou Qi didn't say these words to Li Qing.
She already understood what she should know.
"Then I want to go with you."
Li Qing said suddenly.
She didn't know what she was thinking. Maybe she simply wanted to experience more with the other person, or maybe she was afraid that her special existence would affect others.
Of course, what's more, it's a feeling that I know too much, but no one else knows it. It's as if Zhou Qi is the only place in the world where I feel safe.
"Okay." Zhou Qi glanced at her and said, "Okay, let's go to sleep."
After saying that, he closed his eyes.
Li Qing nodded subconsciously: "Yeah, um, okay, good night..."
But just two seconds after closing her eyes, she suddenly opened them again, with a pair of dark eyes moist and shy: "No, no, I can't sleep here, I'm just afraid of finding you. Talking..."
After saying that, he quickly got out of bed and ran out in a hurry.
Looking at that flustered figure, she still looks as elegant and decent as a fairy.
"..."
