The alarm sounded, and the whole room shook violently like an earthquake. Kou Tong leaned against the wall and felt a crack in the wall behind him. He knew that this was the beginning of the chain collapse. Caused by the collapsed space flushing back to its original dimension.
He looked at the people who were swaying in the shaking space and unstable frequency, and thought to himself, in this world, nothing is invincible.
Any kind of thing is mutually reinforcing, such as unforgettable love, which seems to be very powerful, but in fact it still loses to time. Time will degenerate everything, imperceptibly, and no one knows the mechanism of this reaction. However, Deeper hatred can always penetrate time, making people hold the same thing in their hearts for decades, even if they are like a demon, they will never regret it, but no matter how deep the hatred is, they will encounter the warmth that will linger to death. But it will always be slowly melted...
All things, courage, determination, dreams, hatred, grief, suffering, all seem so powerful, able to overcome many others, and easily overcome by many others, like a never-ending game of rock-paper-scissors.
Just like the sudden burst of fear and despair in all of them, one of the few things that can transcend survival instincts, it is always suppressed by a stronger lock in the rules of space.
Kou Tong sighed softly: "Xiaozhi, put down the glass, have you forgotten, here, even if you cut your head in two, you won't die, the program has already started, and no one can stop it. ."
He Xiaozhi was fooled, stared at him blankly, full of tears, suddenly knocked Huang Jinchen away, rushed into the study, grabbed Qin Qin, who had not regained consciousness, and shook her desperately: "Wake up! You have the ability to stop, don't you? You have so many cards, you must have the ability to stop this thing!"
He used to feel great comfort because he could save his comrades. Even if he was afraid, even if he didn't have self-confidence, he worked very hard to protect his comrades, but at the last moment he turned to his enemies.
But no one blamed him, because everyone was very dumb, Kou Tong's mother raised her hand and put Manman in her arms - in fact, for her, Kou Tong should also be Manman as well-behaved and occasionally naughty as to her son's true memory The little thing is, but in a blink of an eye, he is already so big.
Huang Jinchen sighed, squatted beside Lao Yao, patted his shoulder and said, "Think about your women and children, how would they live without you?"
Kou Tong gave him a toe, and Huang Jinchen realized that he, a layman, had said the wrong thing.
If it wasn't for his own women and children, who would have the leisure to take care of their lives? It was because he knew that without him, they couldn't live, and after a long time, he was carrying such a heavy shackle on his body.
Kou Tong looked at his curled up back and said, "People will always grow old, just like children will always grow up, when you are too old to do anything to protect them, your blood will be on your son. continue to flow in his body."
Yao Shuo didn't move.
Kou Tong smiled: "Actually, I envy your son, sometimes I think, if only I had a father like you, I would secretly buy water guns for me when I was a child. I don't smile, but I know if I have any difficulties. I can still call you for help... Even one day, I know that you are not so omnipotent."
There was another rush of alarms, the room began to shake for the second time, and the second layer of chains on him broke.
Kou Tong is not in a hurry. The path of manual disassembly is not as good as the memory chip. In the five minutes of buffer time, it takes 30 seconds for each layer of locks to be released to the cooling and freezing space. Ten layers of locks are enough to support them. At the moment of leaving here, the problems that can be solved with simple four arithmetic operations are not big problems.
Qin Qin was finally awakened early by the chaotic spatial frequency and chaotic environment. She stared at the unfamiliar people and rooms around her, as well as He Xiaozhi, who looked like a mad snot and tears. He Xiaozhi clenched her clothes tightly: " Please, I beg you, let it stop, I don't want to go, I don't want to get out of here!"
Qin Qin subconsciously grabbed a handful on the control box, but it was empty, and his fingers passed through the box.
"The control box counts down to jump in space. In order to prevent unexpected situations, it will become substance C." Kou Tong said softly.
Qin Qin glanced at him, bit her lip fiercely, and suddenly stretched out her hand and took out a lot of cards from her pocket: "Kou Tong! You traitor, don't try to run!"
Huang Jinchen frowned, took a step to the side, blocked the door, and looked at her coldly, Qin Qin couldn't help but take a step back, all the cards floated in front of her, Huang Jinchen's hand was already clasped at her. With the loaded gun on, when I remember that there will be a lot of ghosts and snakes coming from nowhere in this house, I feel that my head is abnormally large, and I really want to shoot this stinky woman to death. thing.
But before they could confront each other, the floating tarot card seemed to have been struck by lightning. Suddenly, there was a screeching noise, and then it fell to the ground like charcoal. Qin Qin's face immediately paled. The illusion that originated from the imagination, as if some kind of power in the body was suddenly drawn out.
Huang Jinchen was stunned, and heard a person behind him say in a low voice, "When the contradiction between your own paranoia and the inherent meaning on the card reaches a critical point, this will happen."
He turned around in surprise and found that Yao Shuo had already stood up against the wall. The fragmented space and the resulting mirror had cut a long cut on the back of his hand, but he didn't notice it.
Even though he looked tired, he still tried his best to straighten his shoulders. He has lived his whole life with this attitude, and if nothing else, he will continue to live like this - that's who he is.
Putting a hand on his shoulder, Lao Yao shook off Kou Tong without even looking, and said coldly, "I'm not a little girl who is queuing outside the consultation room, crying and waiting to be comforted by a psychiatrist, I don't need it. You fake good intentions with those bullshit theories."
... being mean, but still so inhumane, holding his self-esteem tightly.
He Xiaozhi's face was dull, but Qin Qin cried with a "wow".
I just imagined one of her protective shells. She has now become a shellless son of a bitch, and her true form has been revealed.
The third alarm sounded—this time the vibration was stronger than any other time, because the process of retracing the path of the control box was about to end, and the frequency was immediately obliterated.
Like a weak little girl, Qin Qin let out a thin, pitiful cry, choked and said, "Doctor Kou... Doctor Kou..."
Kou Tong's heart suddenly softened.
Each of them, in this space full of retrospectives, memories and dreams, got what they thought and suffered the same pain as Ling Chi, not the "empathy" they said.
Any therapist is not a machine, even by nature or experience, he is more sensitive than others.
This is a sudden countertransference... but Kou Tong didn't realize it.
He was silent for a while, walked over, squatted down and hugged Qin Qin's shoulders - her shoulders are very narrow, every time he hugged a girl, Kou Tong would be very careful, he couldn't figure out why their bones were so slender, it seemed It can be measured with two palms, so fragile, like... a person who is smiling like a flower in memory.
Women in his heart... always had some kind of almost deified meaning.
Qin Qin plunged into his arms, Huang Jinchen frowned fiercely, but he felt that this trivial matter was not easy to care about, so he stuffed the gun back, turned his head, out of sight and out of mind.
Kou Tong patted her back, looked up at the path on the control box - it was almost the end.
He sighed in mixed relief.
Kou Tong knew that there would be a violent peeling of the spatial frequency immediately—the mirrors would all shatter, and at that moment, the second timeline completely disintegrated, Laotian’s stagnant time began to move forward again, and Manman would no longer be able to speak.
And she also...
Qin Qin suddenly grabbed Kou Tong's collar with one hand, and raised her head from his arms. There was no water in her eyes, but they were shining... She moved her lips and said in a strange tone: "You tell me why you..."
At this moment, Kou Tong's mother suddenly rushed over and pushed her away. The sharp mirror fragments pierced her body, and the blood beads flew out together with the fragments, and then suddenly froze in the air.
Her eyes turned halfway, and she hadn't had time to turn in the direction of her son to make sure he was safe.
Only... A mother's eyes will stay on her son forever.
All the mirrors collapsed at the same time, the path bar reached the end, and a small line of small words jumped out of the control box: retrieval completed, command execution.
When the feeling of falling came, everyone's eyes went black. I don't know if it was his illusion. Kou Tong felt a little girl screaming like a kitten behind him. She said, "Mom..."
The voice was extremely hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for many years, and his pronunciation was even a little vague.
Kou Tong closed his eyes, and was caught by a pair of hands, his eyes suddenly brightened, his pupils contracted violently, and he almost burst into tears. Uncontrollably, his legs softened and he took a half step back, before he had time to fall. was hugged tightly.
A group of people shouted in his ears: "Come out, come out! My God... It's not easy!"
