Chapter 400 Let’s just take a nap
12 month 28 day.
The wind blew from the moonlit sea, gently caressing my cheek.
It was finally cool enough to catch a glimpse of the beach in the distance. Now there was no sound of fireworks exploding or noisy crowds, only the vague sound of the regular coming and going of the waves.
After all, it was two o’clock in the morning.
“…”
Su Ming had never seen the night view of Haidao City.
But I still have some impressions of it. For example, the tall building across from the apartment, which stands proudly among the many buildings, is a building of an insurance company. There is also a tower-like building half-hidden in the hillside to the south, and the whole picture cannot be seen from here.
“That’s the church.”
However, the petite figure beside him will explain.
church.
The place where An Shiyao and I had a makeshift wedding. There was no murderer, no disorder, everything was normal. This was just a first-tier city that was ordinary except for the island-building technology. It was just a little small.
“Big brother, are you reminiscing about marrying Xiaoye? What a shivering wedding.”
“…”
Looking into those pure eyes, Su Ming did have the memory of marrying her in a church. But not here, not in Sea Island City. It was in Florida, Canada.
“I miss it a little bit.”
“Well, Xiaoye, I miss it too.”
The arm was held.
Her figure was not enough to oppress Su Ming’s conscience, but more like a cushion of cotton in a steel plate.
Based on last time’s experience, I can’t just ask questions casually.
To An Shiyao, you can be ambiguous and hint at it…but Xia Ye, with her intelligence.
What will happen if you do nothing according to the saved node?
“Xiaoye, you will grow up too, right?”
Seeing her holding up the non-existent baby canteen, it seemed like she had made some kind of decision.
“No, it’s cute right now.”
“But big brother doesn’t like it, little kid.”
“Are you a child?”
“…”
She was startled for a moment, then smiled mischievously, “No, Xiaoye, it’s an adult.”
Is this the reason why I can’t go back?
An Shiyao.
Then the question arises again, how did I get to know Xiaoye after meeting An Shiyao?
There is no way to ask now.
I can’t treat the petite girl next to me as an obedient girl in reality.
After all, in reality, Xiaoye would at most let himself sleep on the sofa, and it would be impossible for him to be locked up in a small dark room.
“…”
Peep at your wrist a little.
There were also traces of being tied up with restraints.
The real Xiaoye would not do this. It’s different.
“And one more week.”
“It will be unable to hold back and come out. Once Xiaoye eats it, big brother won’t have to go back to class. Xiaoye, you can do anything.”
“…”
By eat, does it mean the monster that caused the disaster in Sea Island City?
What should I learn in class?
12 month 29 day.
early.
The way I was imprisoned last night never happened.
Su Ming stood at the entrance of the apartment, and the petite girl stood on tiptoe to help tie the scarf. It was a light green scarf.
“As long as big brother is here, Xiaoye will succeed.”
“…”
The soft lips are fleeting.
He smiled softly again.
11 month 29 day.
morning.
Driving an SUV that I have never owned in my memory, a Volkswagen.
The back seat was converted into a baby seat. But the truth was, he and Xia Ye had no children. There was no sign of a child in the apartment. Avril didn’t exist either.
Among the contacts in my cell phone, besides Professor xx, there is only Xia Ye.
The same goes for social platforms. I don’t follow anyone except a few public accounts.
[Time reversal generally refers to the closed time-like curve in the theory of relativity. Given a four-dimensional space, the distance between two points in the coordinate system is 0. In Euclidean space, the distance between two points is 0…]
Why should I follow a public account that pushes this kind of metaphysical content?
It seems to come from a foreign public account that summarizes some celebrities’ conjectures about time.
Su Ming had no memory of the university he was going to.
Only the navigation history of the mobile phone can be viewed.
【The First Higher Education College of Haidao City, East District Experimental Branch. 】
It doesn’t look like she is just a student. She doesn’t go to school just for the sake of academic qualifications.
12 month 29 day.
morning.
It was almost 10 o’clock when Su Ming arrived at the experimental branch.
“…”
There were two or three young men inside, and an elderly professor with gray hair.
“Professor, failed?”
“Su Ming is here after all, haha.”
“…”
The students were all laughing, only the professor sighed.
“You only saw that he still came today. Have you ever thought that it might be the reason why I left this letter that affected Quantum?”
“Why else would he be late today?”
“Right, classmate Su Ming.”
“…”
I have no idea what they are laughing at or talking about.
12 month 29 day.
in the afternoon.
Su Ming finally understood the concept of “talk less, watch more” and “ask less, listen more”.
The professor left an invitation yesterday. An invitation that no one has ever told anyone about, and no one knows about except him.
It would be more accurate to say that it is a letter inviting Su Ming to go somewhere else today rather than an invitation letter.
It’s a bit like a celebrity leaving an unsent invitation letter to dinner. If someone comes, it proves how time works…
This is not an institution where you can get a great degree by working here.
It was just a private establishment by the professor, gathering idealists like Su Ming who were free from vulgar tastes.
what.
Own……
Because of his obsession with biology, he gained the professor’s favor despite having the lowest academic qualifications among all the people present.
“Speaking of which, Su Ming.”
“You don’t care about biology at all now?”
“It’s been a while since I saw you going around studying like a madman.”
“…”
“After all, if there really is a virus in the world that can restore the body to its original state no matter what, humans might be able to achieve immortality.”
“…”
No one here is normal.
The young man who just spoke has obtained countless doctoral degrees from prestigious universities at the age of 20, and has received numerous scholarships.
But I have a strong interest in the sense of déjà vu, and I think it is the influence of “time”. Picking up the cup, I always feel that I have done the same thing before… I gave up a high salary for this kind of thing. I became a wild man.
And myself.
I can make sense of the scattered words they say.
I used to be a madman for biology. I asked questions every day and listened to the lectures of various professors. I was driven away… but I was also invited by professors who liked academics to teach in various laboratories.
They said that they were obsessed with turning monsters into humans, and were looking for a way to turn any creature’s body into a human and keep it fixed as a human forever.
Previously, he had a nickname – Fu Rui Kong.
12 month 29 day.
Night.
The apartment was filled with the aroma of food.
There is no burnt smell. After all, too much food is wasted in the trash can.
“Big brother, do you want to eat first, or…Xiaoye?”
“…”
A familiar face, wearing clothes that don’t fit her body shape. It’s not that they are too long or too big.
Mainly because of the maid outfit’s chest, a cafeteria of that size is too hypocritical.
“What did you put in there?”
“No, it’s natural, huh? Xiaoye, you’ll be different when you wake up.”
“…”
Su Ming didn’t say anything, just looked at her.
“Um, silicone.”
“…”
Su Ming took the silicone out of her collar and stuffed it into his own clothes.
“Brother, that’s weird.”
“You know it’s weird too?”
“But, Xiaoye is a girl! No, it’s strange. Big brother, it’s not.”
“So do you want me to touch the silicone, or you?”
“No, Xiaoye, silicone.”
“…”
Seeing her take away the silicone again, she went straight into Su Ming’s short sleeves, unable to stick her head out of the collar. It was a stretch anyway.
“What are you doing?”
“Answer, big brother’s question. No, silicone.”
“…”
The soft face pressed against my chest actually felt quite itchy.
But Su Ming also felt that even though he seemed to be imprisoned for something yesterday, his relationship with her was still very good.
12 month 29 day.
late at night.
Take a bath in a bathtub that’s just big enough for two people.
If you want to know why you are fascinated by biology and time, you can’t just ask directly. Try another way.
such as……
“Have you figured out how you became a girl?”
“Because, big brother’s, love.”
“except this.”
“do not know.”
“No clue at all?”
“Um… Xiaoye, I just remember that big brother said he would find a way to make Xiaoye become a human. Go to school. Feel like, here.”
Seeing her holding her hands over the baby canteen, “It’s warm here, and my skin changes, and my vision changes from black and white to color.”
“Xiaoye can’t change it. The virus has stabilized in an instant.”
“Wow.”
She sat on Su Ming’s lap again.
The drum moves deliberately.
“Also, big brother will do shishige things with Xiaoye. It’s very heartwarming.”
“As long as you feel it, as you do now, you will be at peace.”
“…”
In order to transform her into a human form, did she have to go to school everywhere?
So why should we pay attention to the lesson of ‘time’ now?
“Big brother, don’t think about it, okay?”
“As long as Xiaoye eats it, you will become more powerful. You can restore the dead.”
“…”
The dead person?
“Big brother, after our parents are resurrected, Xiaoye will also play the role of daughter-in-law.”
“…”
Before Su Ming could ask further, she had already said it.
But Su Ming always felt that this answer was wrong.
parents?
Su Ming had no recollection of it at all. All his memories disappeared when he was young and immature.
Or did I have a good relationship with my parents before I was reborn?
But would most people do this?
After adulthood, when parents pass away, no matter how good the relationship was, one will only choose to accept the grief and continue to work hard to live.
The memory is really faint…
After being reborn, I remember it very clearly. They all died one after another when they were very young, and I lived on alone.
Did you have parents before you were reborn? Or did you forget them for some reason?
1 month 5 day.
morning.
Su Ming did nothing.
Go to the laboratory according to the procedures.
There is no way to change the original node. As long as you change it… the game will immediately prompt you whether you want to continue here and abandon all saves after this node.
“Su Ming, you are a hidden talent.”
As soon as he arrived at the laboratory, someone came over and patted Su Ming on the shoulder.
“?”
There is no need to explain what is hidden.
Because the guests were waiting in the reception room next to the laboratory.
“You, how did you become so thin?”
“…”
Su Ming was totally unprepared.
Without any psychological preparation, I unilaterally believed that this file belonged to Xia Ye. An Shiyao should still be waiting in the Snow Country.
But that’s right, right?
After confirming the relationship with An Shiyao, it doesn’t necessarily mean that she has never been here. What I mean is that among all the files, there may be one that she has been here.
“speak!”
“Didn’t you say you would take good care of yourself?”
“Or am I just unable to wait and coming here without permission… and I’m annoying?”
“…”
Before Su Ming could answer, she started crying.
He hugged her tightly without caring that there were other people watching.
1 month 5 day.
Night.
How did you originally do it?
Will you tell Xiaoye the truth?
How did you tell An Shiyao?
“How does Mr. Su Ming know Professor Wang? I looked it up and found that he is a very famous professor in biology all over the world.”
“Uh, well, by chance.”
“You’re lying. I asked them all. They said Mr. Su Ming wanted to revive someone. That’s why he was interested in biology and philosophy. That’s why they were there. A professor with a worldwide reputation would be interested in Mr. Su Ming, who only graduated from college. It can only be because of his personality charm.”
“…”
“Mr. Su Ming, it is indeed incredible to me that you want to resurrect your parents. But why did you hide it from me? It’s not something to be ashamed of, but it’s amazing. Besides, can’t I help? I have money! After all, I am considered a lady.”
She seemed very angry.
1 month 5 day.
late at night.
Su Ming is still in the hotel.
He didn’t tell An Shiyao that he had a “wife” waiting for him at home.
“Can I stay here, too?”
“…Have you finished dealing with the matter in Winter City?”
“It’s dealt with.”
Her eyes were obviously evasive.
“to be honest.”
“…ran away from home. Actually, I don’t have much money…my bank cards are all frozen.”
“No wonder no one rushed to pay the bill when we checked in just now.”
“The man should pay the bill. Why would you do that with someone else… and still want me to pay the bill?”
“You bought it before. You also bought the safety measures.”
“Shut up! Things are different now! I’m very poor now! But as long as Mr. Su Ming is willing to go back with me, the bank card will not be frozen, then… well.”
There was no need to be too tactful when asking her.
Her experience was no different from the previous one, except that it happened earlier.
The relationship was confirmed earlier.
And… I seem to be more proactive. Is there a possibility?
The last time I read the game, it wasn’t the first time I was with An Shiyao. It was many times before. Last time, I deliberately delayed confirming the relationship until after I was about to leave. I deliberately tried to make her like me less.
Even if you disappear, you can still walk out of the shadows and find your next home.
This… seems like something I could do.
“Mr. Su Ming, can you only eat one bowl of rice now? No wonder you are so thin.”
Her hand rested on Su Ming’s cheek.
“People who only eat half a bowl of rice have no right to make irresponsible comments.”
“I need to stay in shape, so I have to eat less at night. But Mr. Su Ming is a man. He needs to be healthy and strong. Otherwise… if even someone as weak as me can’t be satisfied…”
“…”
She would say strange things, but she would also be shy. She wasn’t as open as An Shiyao in real life.
“Wait, wait a minute. Turn off the light.”
“A rustling–“
I heard her rubbing at the takeout bag and tearing open the packaging of something.
“I just… bought food, and used your money to buy that.”
“Which one?”
“…Black stockings. Idiot. You don’t like…that kind.”
“…”
1 month 6 day.
early morning.
Su Ming returned to the apartment only after An Shiyao fell asleep.
This can’t be hidden any longer. Judging from the fact that the only contacts are Xia Ye and the professor, Xiao Ye here… must be possessive.
In reality, I never thought of hiding it, and it was impossible to hide it. It was the same here…
In the apartment, only the living room had a small light on.
“…”
The girl who would come up to me excitedly yesterday and ask whether I should eat first or eat her first, now sat on the sofa in a daze.
“Big brother, I won’t go back. But, she will still be there.”
“…”
That slightly childish voice also turned cold.
“Xiaoye, I can do anything. Is that not possible?”
“…”
How should I answer?
How should I answer to be the right choice for this file?
“Actually, Xiaoye can feel it.”
“…”
Su Ming sat opposite her silently.
“Big brother, it’s very strange. He’s not angry, but Xiaoye locked him in the room.”
“All of a sudden, he changed. Like a big brother. But not like a big brother. But obviously, he is a big brother.”
“…”
A changed person?
Su Ming instantly perked up.
No way?
I already pay attention to every detail, how could she notice it?
“I also observed the relationship between my elder brother and her. It was the same. He seemed to like her, but also seemed to treat her as air.”
“It’s said in human books that when people feel disappointed, they will dislike and hate each other. They will treat the other person as air. It’s cold and violent. But it’s so strange that the big brother treats Xiaoye as air, but at the same time, he will shiver and react.”
Those pupils stared straight at Su Ming.
“Did Xiaoye do something wrong? Is it painful for big brother to be with Xiaoye?”
“Absolutely not.”
No, no.
Xiaoye is like this.
She acted immature only for herself to see, in an attempt to deceive her… just like when she had just gone over in her mind whether or not to hide the matter of An Shiyao from her, and rejected it immediately.
It’s better to be sincere than to lie.
“Brother, it’s not our parents who need to be resurrected.”
“?”
“Xiaoye secretly checked. Big brother, no parents. Nothing. Big brother, who is the one who is so persistent? Someone else, a female human?”
“…”
Su Ming wanted to say something, but she had already stood up, wearing only short white socks.
“If I’m not happy with Xiaoye, then I’ll choose her. When Xiaoye accomplishes what I want, I’ll like her.”
“Ah.”
“I will only be your wife when Xiaoye is done. This is what I promised Big Brother. Xiaoye will definitely become a useful wife.”
“…”
Su Ming couldn’t say anything.
A helpful wife?
What kind of agreement is this? It’s shameful that she has such a strong purpose. Would I… make such an agreement with her?
11 month 6 day.
early.
There was no sign of Xia Ye in the apartment.
The professors from the laboratory seemed to be planning to go to Columbia to participate in a three-month period of public discussions and experiments.
Su Ming couldn’t go.
“Why do you always have a bitter face? You’ll get forehead wrinkles.”
“…”
Therefore, I had to go to the hotel and buy breakfast before An Shiyao became suspicious.
The clothes and torn socks that were thrown around yesterday had long been taken away by her. They were tidied up and there was no sign that anything had happened last night.
“Actually, I’ve never been to the beach. Won’t you take me for a walk?”
“Also, you’ve been here for so long, you wouldn’t be staying in a hotel all the time, right? Humph, your home must be a mess. You don’t dare to take me back?”
“…”
The days when both sides are cheating.
This was the first time for Su Ming.
But it’s not like he knows nothing. First, he chose to hide the fact from Xiaoye, and the person he wanted to revive or save… should be a woman.
Second, this person must exist, and his relationship with me is no less close than that with An Shiyao or Xiaoye.
“Yao.”
“Eh? Why are you suddenly… calling me that? We’re outside! Idiot.”
“I have a question.”
“?”
“Have you ever seen any close women around me?”
“…”
An Shiyao’s cheeks puffed up instantly. “I’ve seen her before. She was a female colleague in Dong City. We often walked together. I was very unhappy, especially when someone would stare at other people’s legs with lustful eyes.”
“No, what I want to say is…”
what exactly is it?
1 month 10 day.
Night.
Su Ming cleaned up the apartment and hid all of Xia Ye’s things.
“Then it’s a deal. We must go back to Winter City to celebrate the Spring Festival.”
“Actually. I… well, it will come suddenly.”
“I just want to know if you’ve been dumped. Five days, and you’ve done so many things…pervert. Only I would accept you.”
“Don’t say I took the initiative! Girls don’t take the initiative in things like that!”
“…”
no solution anymore.
If An Shiyao doesn’t go back, it seems that Xia Ye will never appear. She can’t find him at all.
I didn’t care if it would affect the save options. If this continued, it would sooner or later turn into some kind of Shura field.
1 month 10 day.
Just as An Shiyao boarded the ship and left, Xia Ye returned to the apartment.
He looked very lonely.
“Big brother, I like her very much.”
“……Um.”
Su Ming did not choose to lie.
“She only has a few decades to live. Xiaoye, I won’t be jealous. As long as, big brother, is happy, that’s all.”
“…”
Su Ming seemed to have heard this kind of talk before.
“It’s coming, huh? Big brother wants it. Xiaoye will definitely succeed. As long as you eat it, you can evolve into Super Xiaoye. Super awesome.”
1 month 13 day.
The game doesn’t have any hints.
Presumably, the choice did not deviate from the subsequent development of this archive.
But eating it or something like that is all lies.
Before Xia Ye could face the monsters in Haidao City, she escaped first. She escaped by force… imprisoning herself.
“I’m sorry…brother.”
“Xiaoye, be scared. There’s no way to protect you, big brother. It’s… scary.”
“It’s not that it’s afraid of Xiaoye. It’s waiting…waiting for Xiaoye to go back by herself. To go back without any loss. It doesn’t want to go back. It doesn’t want to go back.”
“…”
Imprisoned in the bud of her tail.
If I were to say it was surprising, it wasn’t that surprising.
Xiaoye usually won’t do anything without certainty. If it’s extremely difficult… or even there’s a chance that she might die, then her choice will 100% go against her own ideas.
“Big brother.”
“Ok?”
“Can you give Xiaoye’s big brother back to Xiaoye?”
“…”
That cautious question made Su Ming tremble.
“What are you talking about?”
“Brother, that’s weird. Very gentle… No.”
“…”
What kind of person is ‘myself’?
“If it was a big brother, in front of a female human, he would say that as long as Xiaoye was obedient, he would only like Xiaoye.”
“…”
Probably, birth.
Suddenly, some images flashed through Su Ming’s mind.
Probably the scene where I met Xiaoye in this file. I also found her in the garbage dump, but… the purpose was very strong. After teaching her to speak, I immediately came to Haidao City.
There is only one request for her: become stronger and do yourself a favor.
If you don’t learn, you will be scolded. If you learn, you can touch her hair. You can become husband and wife just like that. Because she only has ‘herself’.
The timing is totally wrong. If I have to find Xiaoye in Neon first and then bring her to Haidao City, I won’t have time to get to know An Shiyao.
Then we can only say that… two different timelines are entangled together. Or even multiple timelines. In Taoist terms, cause and effect are entangled into a knot.
It felt like I didn’t care about them at all for the sake of my goal… or rather, I could give up on them.
Is he really “Su Ming”? In this file.
“Xiaoye, I had a very strange dream.”
“Ok?”
“Big brother, with many female humans, Xiaoye, is not angry.”
“…”
“Big brother, where are you from?”
“……Um.”
“As long as, Xiaoye, works hard, you can go there too?”
“…”
do not know.
Su Ming couldn’t answer any more.
[Please confirm, do you want to read the current node? After reading, all files after this node will be invalidated. ]
You know, once there is a trend that goes against the development of the original file, a prompt will pop up immediately.
The experience of meeting her, and the reason for studying was to turn her out of control into a human being… I remember all these now.
But the only thing he urged her to do was to become stronger, and what he wanted was… someone to be saved.
“Master, are you dissatisfied?”
‘I deleted all the xx, bt and website bookmarks. I will become weak if I watch less.’
Who said this to me?
–
reality.
Winter City, Laboratory.
No one paid attention to the cuts of meat in the window.
Summer nights are very busy, as I keep writing experimental data.
【She has remembered. She is reenacting what she did before.】
【…】
[He is not what you said, a person who only gets excited after three minutes. ]
【…】
[You took the ability I gave you and turned it into something scary like this. In a sense, I underestimated you humans. But it’s useless. My things are not something humans can control.]
[That can’t be helped. If a brother is a sister-con, then he is a sister-con. There is nothing I can do about it. It’s very troublesome. ]
[Please beg for mercy.]
[After begging for mercy, do you still have to be eaten immediately? 】
[Of course, I have been patient for a long time. ]
【Then why are you begging for mercy? Ugly bastard.】
[…I hope he can be so lively after breaking out of the cage you created.]
[Oh, I didn’t say that I didn’t like you thinking of me. I’m actually quite happy. You should be able to remember nothing, but you still have to look for me.]
【…】
[Don’t you know? Humans are divided into pragmatists and romanticists. My brother didn’t think of me, which is pragmatism, and he thought of me, which is romanticism. He is sad, and he will lose many sisters. I have no loss. ]
[…Are you a human being? ]
【If you like, you can call me mom. 】
【…】
I regret.
It’s really a pity to know that my brother is actually a sister-con.
But like I said, nothing to lose. The worst that can happen is… starting over. Or, there’s no starting over, so there’s that.
I’ve been through enough.
I, and everyone else, are just a handful of ash. We should have died long ago. If we live a bad life, we will become ugly.
Pity.
Through various means, the sister, who was destined to be with the brother at a certain time, was able to achieve a happy ending. As a result, the brother is obsessed with his sister. As the saying goes, you can’t have both love and family affection. If you are too greedy… you will end up like this.
I watched Sister Xia Ye’s busy back.
I think of a lot of things.
When I saw her before, her petite figure looked very haggard. She tried her best to recover her body and use the thing she refined to turn back time.
I admire you very much.
So, tell her that besides her, there are several other sisters who are using their own methods to try to save their promiscuous brother.
Who knows?
Because of this kind of thing, I would develop a strange product that I could never imagine. Everyone died, except me.
So, I am the only one in control.
Actually, I am the only one who is suitable… Because I don’t ask for anything in return, and I don’t care whether I can see or bump into each other. After all, we are brother and sister. No matter how close you are before marriage, you will become strangers after marriage. It is the strangest relationship in the world.
In the TV series, Long Kui doesn’t care about becoming a sword spirit.
Jingtian could accept his sister becoming a sword spirit.
Why can’t my brother accept it?
what.
After thinking about it, there is only one reason.
Maybe Jingtian is not a sister complex. Ah… I feel embarrassed to say this.
But this time, I really have no other choice. This strange product…will gradually turn people into puppets. Being a puppet or being eaten by monsters, neither outcome is good. I can no longer run it.
Forget it.
【Hello, I’m your mother. 】
【? 】
【…】
[I didn’t say anything! Why are you scolding me again! ]
【Because I’m bored.】
[I will definitely eat you from head to toe! I will use what humans call lingchi to eat you! ]
God knows what it will turn out like in the end.
This may be… the fate of this stinky brother. He will always be a beast of burden, and will never enjoy a happy life.
Everyone works hard and has tried hard. Yeah, that’s right, I haven’t thought about saving the world.
All the people on this planet were eaten together. Just think about it… it’s not like they were targeted. And it’s not easy to survive so many times under the general trend.
I really wish… I had never grown up. Then, maybe my brother and one of the sisters would have lived an ordinary life. They wouldn’t have to deal with these messes until their lives faded away. Wouldn’t it be nice to die as an idiot?
Sleepy.
Just take a nap. Don’t think about or care about anything anymore.
