I'm dreaming.
Li Liang was clearly aware of this, and knew that the dream at this moment came from a real experience - the continuous fall he experienced after jumping from an armored vehicle in the Chawu Realm.
One space after another, each time, he fell from the highest point and passed through it the moment he touched the ground.
His consciousness was intermittent, and he still couldn't tell what light and darkness represented, and he couldn't clearly see what the different colorful spaces in front of him looked like.
Just falling again and again.
At some point when he regained consciousness, he saw a figure appearing from behind below him.
It was a man who also fell.
Then he lost consciousness again.
After a long time, he woke up again.
This time, he felt that he had been frozen and could not even move his eyes, but he could clearly see the figure below.
The man was face down, but his limbs were turning upward uncontrollably.
He seemed to be in a coma.
However, he always felt that the figure from behind seemed familiar.
Gray sweatshirt, overalls...
Who is it?
He thought numbly, his consciousness blurred again.
After a long fall, at some point, a burst of warmth enveloped him.
The warmth woke him up.
The pungent smell of sulfur rushed into his nostrils. He raised his eyelids with difficulty and looked to the distant sky. A huge volcano rose from the ground and was erupting violently. Thousands of miles away, the billowing heat waves were still hitting his face.
And he was falling from a high altitude.
Below, the figure is clearer.
Gray sweatshirt, overalls...
As if a bolt of lightning struck his brain, Li Liang's mind came to his senses. He looked down despite the strong wind and saw that he was wearing a gray sweatshirt and overalls.
Who is that? Why are you wearing the same clothes as me?
Li Liang struggled to shake his shoulders and move his arms.
The figure below made the exact same move.
Like a mirror image.
It turns out that it was myself.
As soon as this thought came to mind, the figure below suddenly turned around and his speed dropped sharply. In an instant, he and "himself" below were very close, their chests were close to each other, and their noses were almost touching.
At such a close distance, Li Liang could only see a pair of extremely calm eyes, and from the reflection of the eyeballs, he could see his own panicked eyes.
this moment.
Li Liang suddenly withdrew from his personal experience and watched the seemingly endless fall from the perspective of a bystander, thinking of a question.
What exactly does “I” stand for.
When he was three years old, he would cry bitterly because of small setbacks when playing with toys, and be happy when he got a candy. When he was a little older, the world seemed to him like a fairy tale in black and white, with good people perfect and bad people useless. "" and "lost" are distinct. He was loyal to the simplest desires in his heart. Later, he broke into reality and found that the world was a mottled color against a gray background, depicting an inescapable theory of cause and effect.
perhaps.
"I" is nothing more than the huge inertia of life experience. "Self" moves forward along time, sliding towards an extremely certain future. It starts very fast at first, keeps going over the hills, and then slowly weakens until it stops.
"I" is a huge collection of life experiences, a "subset" in the "now".
this moment.
Li Liang found that he had become the "self" below, staring at the panic-stricken eyes in front of him, feeling extremely calm in his heart.
If you could choose, which "I" would you like to be?
The "me" who is naive but full of confidence, living as if I am immortal, or the "me" who has experienced thousands of sails, seen through this cold world, and is ready to face the end?
A voice rang in my ears: "Li Liang, Leng."
Li Liang instantly recognized that it was Cain's voice, filled with confusion and mourning deep in the darkness, like a soul about to sink into eternal death, trying to grasp the only life-saving straw.
Another voice sounded: "Master, I finally found you."
It was still Cain's voice, but it was as deep as an endless abyss.
Li Liang frowned and asked softly: "Cain?"
Then.
He once again became his "self" above, and was suddenly separated from his "self" below.
He saw the "self" falling on his back showing a relieved smile, and then turned over.
next moment.
Overlapping up and down.
He fell into an ethereal darkness.
A cold and smooth body got into his arms.
He lowered his head, felt a wet kiss, and smelled a mixture of engine oil, mint, and camellia.
He blinked in the darkness and reached out to wipe away her tears.
She whispered in his ear: "Li Liang..."
then.
A bird flying on the wind, passing through a hot thunderstorm, passing through the dense humidity, spreading its wings to its heart's content. Those restrained rain and dew that have not yet come to the earth contain hot greed, supporting the soul endlessly. Soaring until you cross the thick clouds, break free from the shackles, stop lightly and dazedly, and usher in a short but immortal peace in the boundless warmth of the setting sun.
After a long moment of confusion or just a moment of daze, Li Liang heard a "giggle" laugh.
He opened his eyes and saw an old face with a weird smile.
"I go……"
He shrank back suddenly and cursed: "What's wrong?"
"Hehehehe..." Old Tang grinned, the muscles on his face squeezed together, and he covered Child Li's eyes with his hands.
The little girl probably thought she was playing a game and smiled, showing her small white teeth.
Click.
The door to the room was knocked open, and a heavily armed member of the Mayfly rushed in, pointed his gun at Old Tang, and said angrily: "Don't move!"
Wow~
A group of black muzzles appeared at the door.
Old Tang ignored the threat and continued to giggle. Little Li, whose eyes were covered, giggled along with him.
"It's okay," Li Liang waved his hand towards the door and asked casually, "Where's K?"
"Mr. K went to Joint Conference headquarters."
"Okay, I got it," Li Liang rubbed his face and took a deep breath.
The Mayfly member at the door retreated and closed the door behind him.
"Hey hey hey..."
"Hiccup hiccup..."
Li Liang kicked Old Tang, rubbed Child Li's head and said, "Stop burping, you're smiling like a monkey."
Li kid broke away from Old Tang's hand and raised his head with a smile.
Li Liang was stunned for a moment. This little girl was afraid of him before and kept away from him every time. Why didn't she feel afraid at all this time?
He tentatively stretched out his hand again and pinched Li's baby-fat cheeks.
"Uh..." Child Li rubbed his face and continued to giggle.
"..."
Li Liang shook his head, turned around and walked to the fully automatic diagnostic and treatment instrument.
At some point, the diagnostic and treatment instrument stopped working, and the glass cover was open.
Cain's eyes were closed, lying flat on his back, covered with a thin green cloth of unknown material.
Judging from the exposed part of the skin, the trauma has basically healed, leaving only some mottled red marks.
The physiological status monitor on the side of the instrument displayed dozens of indicators. Li Liang glanced at it generally. Many of the items were abbreviations and he didn't know what they represented, but all of them were green, which should mean normal.
Staring at Cain's slightly rosy face, he smiled to himself.
Damn, that dream just now was really...
However, I feel pretty good now... Ahem... He silently explained to himself that he felt good because the strange, uncontrollable feeling of emotions disappeared. It was definitely not...
Withdrawing his gaze, Li Liang walked to the hospital bed next to the wall and looked at each other. Brother Shui, Haos, Lao Zhao, Shui Ye, Balentine, and other familiar or unfamiliar people were all still asleep.
A fully automatic diagnosis and treatment instrument and the director of the Xin'ao Branch of Putnam Laboratory fully represent the highest medical level in Xiacheng District. Those currently lying here are all seriously injured and need to be treated in stages. The other injured are probably placed in other rooms.
In the corner, Saolis still didn't wake up.
Li Liang shook her hand and closed his eyes.
In the spirit's vision, Seolisi's figure was very clear, but the intermittent prayers were always blurry and confusing. Fortunately, the erosion of the undead had stopped, like a faint shadow.
Opening his eyes, Li Liang was about to leave when he suddenly froze and closed his eyes again.
The spiritual vision seems to have become different.
He raised his hand, and there was nothing unusual about the double-ring ring. Since he killed two goblins one after another, and when killing the Dominator, the armed drones destroyed a large number of psychics. Currently, the spirit of the double-ring ring is quite full, and it forms a surging Mobius. ring.
The spirit in the surrounding air is as thin as ever.
He turned his head, and the figures of Brother Shui and Old Tang became much clearer, and the Horcruxes were empty. Then, he noticed that a few rooms away, the Horcruxes of the consultants appeared, and Yalali's "book" , one-seventh of the golden lightning, the magic wand and the entire Saron composed of spirits.
Everything is normal.
What's the difference?
Soon, he discovered... that in Ling's field of vision, the background became void and distant, and the previous shadow with black and white wings disappeared.
Li Liang opened his eyes and frowned.
This change must be related to my repeated "restarts" while in the bunker.
In addition, there are still many problems that need to be solved.
What happened to the team that raided the Nirvana Building, including Cain, Brother Shui, and House? Why did Old Tang choose to get into the water supply and drainage pipes?
What will be the reaction of the Joint Conference next?
Li Liang took a deep breath, pushed the door open and walked out of the treatment room.
Wow.
A group of Mayfly members stood up and lowered their heads at the same time: "Mr. Li Liang."
There was a sense of eagerness in their eyes, because everyone clearly felt that their boss was back.
Li Liang said expressionlessly: "Send a message to Sorge and K. I'll wait for them in the lobby on the first floor."
"OK."
"Also," Li Liang thought for a moment, "well, find me some clean clothes."
——————————
In the treatment room, Cain opened his eyes and slowly sat up.
At the same time, Old Tang, Brother Shui, House, and everyone who participated in the raid on the Nirvana Building and survived all stood up, gathered quietly, and stood with their heads down around the fully automatic diagnostic and treatment equipment.
In the corner, Child Li squatted, holding his chin in his hands, blinking curiously.
At this time.
Cain walked off the instrument with light steps, and the thin cloth on her body fell off. She was not covered in a strand, she stretched out her hand to stir the air, and said with a smile: "So this is the spirit."
next moment.
She frowned and whispered angrily into the air: "Shut up, what master?...I know...Why are you so verbose...Wait a minute! What to do with the other half?...Nonsense, you can't Be more reserved? Huh?" Then she blushed again, "Fart! Who the hell enjoys it?"
