Shen Zhihe opened the door with a blank expression, walked slowly to the sofa in the living room and sat down, and then began to instinctively observe the surrounding environment.
The main components of this living room are basically from his residence before he was thirty-four years old, and about 10% are from his childhood residence. Finally, there are a very few from some places that have no meaning.
The TV and table were nearly 90% similar to what he remembered. There were also a few familiar and beautiful potted plants huddled in the corners of the house. In reality, they should have been placed on the balcony. There were also a few that he had never seen before. The origin of the chairs could no longer be traced by any living creature, but their unique style still left a deep enough impression on him.
The brown clock was not hung on the wall like a memory, but was thrown on the corner of the table as softly as a rag. The second hand and hour hand both transformed into several curves as it deformed. This scene was spontaneous. Based on the works of a certain surrealist painter, and following the memory into Shen Zhihe's world.
In the two corners behind Shen Zhihe, there were two strangers standing there respectively. One was a young male member of the Salvation Alliance who betrayed them not long ago, and the other was Shen Zhihe who was a few years ago. He had seen a face on the street years ago, but the face of the woman standing in the house was somewhat unclear - just like his memory of it.
The man among them just stared ahead with a dull face, like a mentally ill person imprisoned. Although the woman's face could not be seen clearly, Shen Zhihe always felt that her eyes were falling on him.
seem……
Is there anything unusual?
He showed some vigilance, and as his brain thought hard and slowly, some thoughts were constantly emerging and flowing in his mind.
Tomorrow's breakfast, violet, unreasonable, 52, unreal, hyena...
I no longer live here!
Suddenly, Shen Zhihe's expression became nervous, and alertness occupied all of his eyes. Then he instinctively used his own skills to fight against the enemy as if seeing a tiger of the same kind, and a feeling of drowsiness suddenly rushed into his chest. in his mind, but the idea of waking up had already arisen in his heart.
Crunch.
At this moment, there was the sound of the door being opened behind him, which temporarily defeated all Shen Zhi and Gang's thoughts and drew his attention to the position behind him.
Shen Zhihe stood up, turned around and looked at the door that was pushed inward. There was a reassuring rustling sound inside, which made his guard down a bit again. Then he stood there and tried to put his The thinking is a little "clearer".
But suddenly there was a roar of wild beasts inside the door. Hearing the deepness of the sound, he rushed towards the inward-opening bedroom door without hesitation.
Shen Zhihe opened the door completely in a panic, and then a warm scene came into his eyes. A ten-year-old girl was lying on the bed, holding a watercolor pen in her hand and describing the imaginary world.
He breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
She was safe - this thought instantly made all his guard and vigilance disappear.
Shen Zhihe raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously, walked quietly behind his daughter, and said in a gentle voice:
"Xiao Ling?"
"Dad!" The girl turned around in surprise, and then happily threw herself into his arms.
Shen Zhihe gently picked up his daughter, and at the same time a slight guilt surged into his heart, as if he was still in the afternoon when he suddenly returned home.
He suddenly remembered that he had not seen his daughter for a long time. He had been busy with work these days, and due to its special nature, although he was not short of money at all, he had no way to ask for leave.
He can't quit.
"Baby." He touched his daughter's hair, then put her down gently, "What are you doing?"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
The girl did not answer his question immediately, but said expectantly:
"Dad, how long can you stay when you come back this time..."
After hearing this, Shen Zhihe opened his mouth with some guilt, but still overcame the difficulty and said:
"It should only be today. Our work is progressing to an important level. I am passing by here temporarily to see you, but I promise that it won't be long before I have a long vacation. I have already made an agreement with my boss. She is A reasonable lady.”
The girl nodded a little disappointedly at first, but after hearing the second half, she laughed happily, as if she was looking forward to the happy time she would have with her father soon:
"Dad, by the way, let me show you this."
Shen Zhihe watched her child running and jumping back to the bed with a doting look on her face, then took the drawing board she had just painted on and handed it to her father, with a look of anticipation in her eyes.
Until then, everything was still basically the same as in his memory.
Shen Zhihe lowered his head and looked at the pictures on the drawing book. There were several little figures drawn with different colored pencils. The second one on the right was himself. The little figure had the casual clothes he usually wears at home, and his left hand She was also tightly holding the short-haired little girl on the far right - her daughter.
A few steps in the air to his left, stood a young woman with tied up hair. Behind her were two other people. The man looked a little old, while the woman was dressed very smartly. They looked It’s also normal…
But on the far left of the drawing paper, there is something that looks like a humanoid standing there. His body composition is simpler than the others, with just a few ordinary black lines, and his face is blocked by messy black lines. , and these seemingly graffiti lines faintly formed two "horns" on his head, making him look like some kind of terrifying monster.
Shen Zhihe bent down and asked his daughter gently:
"The two people you drew are me and you."
The girl nodded heavily, feeling particularly happy that her father could figure out what it was:
"Yeah! This is me and dad."
He did not reveal his worries, and pointed to several other people and asked curiously:
"Who are these?"
The girl said happily:
"It's those uncles and sisters who have been to our house."
Shen Zhihe asked with some confusion:
"What uncle and sister?"
Snapped.
The girl suddenly grabbed him and pulled him outside.
Shen Zhihe cooperated very well and allowed his daughter to lead him forward.
There was no resistance.
They returned to the living room. The girl raised her arm and pointed at the three people who didn't exist just now and said:
"That's them."
Shen Zhihe looked at her finger.
The person standing at the front was Qin Lan. Feng Shaoying and Tao He stood half a step behind her, looking calmly ahead, as if they were talking to someone.
"It turns out it's them." Shen Zhihe nodded, "Baby, do you know who they are?"
The girl looked serious and thoughtful:
"Dad's friend?"
He nodded and said:
"Yes, and they are also my father's colleagues. These uncles and sisters are very good people. If you encounter any problems, you can ask them for help."
The girl asked puzzledly:
"Can't I just go to Dad?"
He reached out and touched the girl's head:
"Silly boy, you might not be able to find me. What if I'm at work?"
He was in a dangerous war and could die at any time. What put him in danger was not the terrible world outside. There was nothing worth fighting for, but he still couldn't bear the price of defeat.
The girl nodded in understanding:
"Yeah, I remember it!"
Shen Zhihe pointed to the little man whose face was cut off and asked:
"Then who is this?"
The girl showed a confused look after hearing the question, and then said doubtfully:
"I remember it was an uncle named Ma En, but I couldn't remember what he looked like.
"Dad, do you remember?"
When this question was raised by the girl, an eighth person quietly appeared in the room, and the two people standing in the corner also looked at where Ma En appeared.
A man dressed in ordinary clothes appeared in the house.
But the place on his face was empty.
No eyes, no nose, no eyebrows, no mouth, no ears.
Luna's eyes showed long-awaited surprise. In her original expectation, Ma En's face should have basically taken shape at this time. She should be able to use Shen Zhihe as a springboard to close the distance between herself and Ma En, and as long as After doing this a few times, you can try to invade his mind.
But now she has encountered obstacles blocking her way, and they are not the kind that can be easily overcome.
It seems that Ma En has been prepared, but she also has other means to achieve her goal.
No mortal can escape the clutches of a god.
The girl asked with some fear:
"Dad, what does he look like?"
Shen Zhihe paused, and then began to recall Ma En's appearance. At this moment, his slow thinking was no longer restrained for a short time, and he passed through every memory of Ma En in his mind at a normal speed.
This is when he suddenly noticed that Ma En usually wears basically the same clothes, and there are some elements about him that never change. His face is so ordinary that people don't want to pay attention to it, but now he remembered...
I didn't remember his appearance at all, as if I was a face blind patient.
"Don't be afraid." Shen Zhihe comforted him, "Although he looks a little scary, he is a very good young man. Ma En has great ambitions and is willing to take risks and invest in them. This is not something he does casually. It can be done.”
He has seen many compatriots who could no longer hold on.
The girl showed a surprised look:
"Then he is dad's colleague?"
Shen Zhihe looked at the faceless Ma En and said:
"Yes, I'm working with him now. We can go home after we finish the current project."
The girl asked curiously:
"What kind of project will it take?"
Shen Zhihe looked at his daughter with a smile and said:
"Dad's job needs to be kept secret."
She said with innocent eyes:
"Then what if I don't tell Gou?"
Shen Zhihe chuckled twice, showing an expression that said she had no choice:
“Okay, daddy, let me tell you.
"He and I are planning to rescue our boss Qin Luan. Recently we found a foreign dimension. There are many terrifying monsters living in it, but there are also many magical weapons from other worlds that can allow us to defeat our competitors."
The girl asked:
"What monster is it? Is it the Titan mentioned in the book?"
Shen Zhihe shook his head:
"The Titans are just myths, and those monsters are something else."
The girl suddenly lost interest in the specific content of her work:
"Dad, what kind of person is your colleague Ma En?"
Shen Zhihe squinted his eyes as he recalled, and once again he felt that his thoughts were flowing smoothly in a short period of time.
"I remember he is..." he said with some confusion, "Qin Lan brought a new person, but there is nothing else. There seems to be something wrong. These are not the only images I have of him. Is it a regular inspection? side effects, or what he did.”
While Shen Zhihe was talking, most of the families in the living room suddenly changed several times. The surrounding air gradually became distorted, and the whole room showed signs of melting in anxiety...
"Dad!" the girl shouted dissatisfiedly to her father who looked confused, "did you hear me?"
He quickly reacted and said:
"Baby, what did you just say?"
Everything is business as usual.
"You just said you didn't know anything about Ma En." the girl reminded.
"Oh..." Shen Zhihe said slowly, "Yes, after all, I have only known him for a few days, so it is normal to not know him well."
Moon God did not expect that Ma En would actively influence the surrounding ability users, causing them to continuously reduce their understanding of him. Moreover, he also quietly affected a level IV telepath under the premise that his own strength was not high. Did some manipulation.
Until now, she had never considered Ma En as an opponent worthy of note.
It seems that he deserves to invest more energy in dealing with it. For this reason, she may even have to delay her other plans. If he maintains his current investment, he may escape to a place he can't find at any time.
Ma En is like a poisonous and flexible young snake. Although he looks weak, if you are too careless when dealing with him, he will show unexpected dangers.
Of course, no matter what, there is no real possibility for him to survive. After all, she was careful enough in her earliest contact and penetration, which also means that he cannot be the first to notice his existence, and she will definitely be as careful as she is now. Test out Ma En's strength and weakness.
And he is only a mortal after all.
Ma En is of the same species as Shen Zhihe, who is half-kneeling in front of her daughter. With a little time, she can completely evade his carefully arranged defense system and disintegrate his mind in the gentlest way.
"It's time." Shen Zhihe said apologetically to his daughter, "I'm going to work."
The girl asked:
"Then next time you go home, can you take me to see the moon?"
"Of course." Shen Zhihe promised, "I will fulfill all your wishes."
Only the things that mortals most want to forget fall into this soil, and there are always weaknesses in the hearts of these miserable and fragile creatures that can be easily exploited and defeated.
So they were mortals and she was a god.
