Although he didn't understand what happened from beginning to end, Ji Leshui obeyed his friend and left the community. He watched several black cars drive into the community, and Lin Banxia, who was standing beside him, held his breath, as if he saw something unbearable.

It should be that something happened to Song Qingluo. Ji Leshui thought, what are those people going to do to Song Qingluo? Does what's going on around have anything to do with this group of people? Countless thoughts flooded Ji Leshui's mind, making him a mess, and he couldn't help but cast his gaze at Lin Banxia.

In his impression, Lin Banxia has always been a reliable friend, calm and courageous. Sure enough, even though the surrounding was such a messy and miserable scene, Lin Banxia's face didn't change much. He was expressionless and even looked a little indifferent, only the blue veins appeared on the hand holding the box, which seemed to be used. great effort...

"Panxia?" Ji Leshui whispered, "What are we going to do?"

Lin Banxia said, "Let's go, find a safe place first."

The two walked slowly into the distance.

Although I had seen chaotic scenes on TV before, but when I really walked on the street, Ji Leshui was once again shocked.

On weekdays, the busy roads are full of messy vehicles, most of which are parked on the side of the road, and some are still making harsh horns. The air was filled with an unpleasant burnt smell, and there were constantly black smoke and open flames coming from the windows of the nearby residential buildings. At this time, no one was walking on the road, and there were still wounded lying around on the street, which was like hell.

The rain was still falling, and in Lin Banxia's eyes, green had eroded the whole world. He and Ji Leshui were also contaminated with these things. Fortunately, there was not much change for the time being. In Ji Leshui's field of vision, it was even more terrifying. His spiritual value was polluted to 100, and he saw a completely different world, distorted human beings, mutated dead objects, and even the ground that his feet stepped on. With life, the touch is soft, and the constant ups and downs make people stand upside down.

I have to say, this was an unspeakable torture for Ji Leshui, who was already timid. He felt that he was going to go completely crazy in the next moment. He was shaking all over, and he didn't dare to leave Lin Banxia. step.

If it wasn't necessary, Lin Banxia didn't want to pull the mentally sensitive Ji Leshui out of the house. He didn't know why those people were looking for them, but since Li Ye called them to let them leave, it was obviously not a good thing. Naturally, Lin Banxia could not safely leave Ji Leshui at home alone.

Thinking quickly, Lin Banxia decided to find a hotel to live in, and settle Ji Leshui first before making other plans.

The two of them were lucky. There was an express hotel near the community, and the door was closed, but the two of them knocked on the door abruptly with perseverance.

"One thousand yuan per room." Lin Banxia said to the security guard who opened the door, "As long as the cheapest standard room is available, you can take the extra money."

There is chaos everywhere at the moment, but few people can resist the temptation of RMB. After listening to Lin Banxia's words, the security guard just hesitated for a moment and put the two in.

So the two successfully got the room card, and when they paid, Ji Leshui looked at Lin Banxia, and Lin Banxia looked at Ji Leshui.

"Hey? What are you looking at me for?" Ji Leshui was shocked.

Lin Banxia said, "I don't have a bank card, so I can borrow you?"

Ji Leshui: "...Are you going to bring a bank card?!"

Lin Banxia calmly said, "I really forgot." He stared at Ji Leshui, trying his best to make his eyes look more sincere.

However, based on Ji Leshui's understanding of his friend, he felt that even if Lin Banxia forgot to put on his clothes, he would not forget to bring his bank card, so he became more suspicious: "Tell me the truth, you really didn't bring it?"

Lin Banxia gave up: "Okay, I'll take it."

"But there's no money in it."

"So I can only brush yours."

Ji Leshui stared at Lin Banxia resentfully: "..." Do you really want to take me to escape, or do you treat me as a credit card that can be overdrawn.

The grievances returned to the grievances, Ji Leshui still chose to pay with the card, even if he spent a little money, the inside was much better than the outside...

At last there was a fairly safe hiding place, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the first day of rain. Although there is chaos everywhere, fortunately, the social order has not collapsed, and the currency has not lost its proper value. But if the rain doesn't stop, Lin Banxia really doesn't dare to think about what will happen next. Crazy seems to be the best ending, at least you don't have to face those tragic situations that are only unbearable to watch. .

When will this rain stop? Lin Banxia stood in front of the window holding the box for a while, lowered her head and re-entered the password, and saw the flowers and caves hiding in the box. He stretched out his hand and carefully carried the two little ones out of it...

"Brother." Xiaohua felt something, she blinked and said vaguely, "Where are you going?"

Lin Banxia said, "Be good, my brother is not going anywhere."

"You lied." Xiaohua said, "Brother is already leaving secretly." She felt aggrieved and sobbed softly, "It's already obvious, I plan to leave..."

Lin Banxia didn't know what to say, so she touched Xiaohua's head: "Brother has something to do."

Xiaohua said, "But when my brother went, I didn't know Xiaohua."

Lin Banxia didn't know what to say. He was indeed going to leave, not to the vague place Xiaohua had mentioned, but to the base. He didn't know what happened to Song Qingluo, but in the dark, he could feel that Song Qingluo needed him very much at this time—he had to go—

The biggest problem now is that he can't manipulate time like Ji Feng, it seems that the infection on his body has not exceeded a certain limit. When that limit is exceeded, maybe he can save Song Qingluo, which also means that he has made a choice.

Lin Banxia tried to call Li Su, but unfortunately, as he thought, the phone could not be connected. He didn't dare to call Song Qingluo, for fear of being called by those people and finding himself on the phone. So all that can be done at this time seems to be waiting quietly... Lin Banxia knew that it was coming soon.

Lin Banxia sat silently by the window holding Xiaohua Xiaokuo. Ji Leshui couldn't stand the silence in the room, so he turned on the TV again.

There are no news programs on TV these days, either bubble dramas or cluttered commercials to whitewash the final peace. Ji Leshui received a lot of stimulation just now, and now he shrunk down on the bedside holding the soft quilt, like a frightened chick. From time to time, he cast his gaze at Lin Banxia. His friend was sitting in front of the window with his back to him, watching the chaotic street outside. He looked so earnestly, as if there was something on the street that he could not see. .

Ji Leshui knew that Lin Banxia was worried about Song Qingluo, but looking at Lin Banxia's back, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. The two are close friends, and he naturally knows how strong his friend is. Lin Pinxia loves life, just like a weed seed thrown into the soil, no matter how bad the surrounding environment is, it will struggling to sprout. Ji Leshui liked Lin Banxia's enthusiastic attitude towards life, and also liked the worldly atmosphere in him.

However, at this time, those breaths were gradually dissipating... becoming unfamiliar and cold, Ji Leshui saw the green lines in Lin Banxia's pupils through the reflective glass.

Those were eyes he had never seen before, glowing with cold brilliance, like icy emeralds, without the softness that belonged to human beings, but rather like gods and Buddhas without sadness and joy.

A creepy sense of oppression suddenly appeared in the room, as if an invisible giant suddenly appeared in the void. Ji Leshui shivered violently, trying to call Lin Banxia's name, but when those three words got into his throat, he couldn't say it. He couldn't move.

Banxia... Lin Banxia... Ji Leshui shouted silently, his eyes flushed anxiously, and at this moment, a crisp "brother" sounded in Lin Banxia's arms.

"Brother." It was Xiaohua's voice, she softly called to Lin Banxia, "Brother." She reached out and grabbed Lin Banxia's wrist, then raised her head, lowered her head and whispered in Lin Banxia's ear, "The things you throw away are very important. If you don't want it, you can hide it here with Xiaohua, okay?" The voice was so small that only the two of them could hear it.

Lin Banxia flicked her eyes, but didn't have much reaction to Xiao Hua's words.

"When you come back, Xiaohua will return it to you." Xiaohua looked at Lin Banxia with nostalgia and sadness in her eyes, "Don't tell others, this is our secret..."

Lin Banxia hummed inaudibly, the voice was too soft, it always made people feel that his response was just an illusion.

I don't know how long the solidified breath in the room lasted. Just when Ji Leshui thought he was going to die from suffocation, that oppressive feeling finally disappeared. He immediately gasped in embarrassment, and called out in a trembling voice, "Panxia—"

Lin Banxia looked back at Ji Leshui.

The moment he saw Lin Banxia's eyes from the front, Ji Leshui's breathing stopped again. Lin Banxia's eyes had completely turned into pure dark green, and there was no gentleness that he was familiar with, only the indifference of staring at a dead thing.

This is not the Lin Banxia he knew. Ji Leshui felt his body trembling involuntarily. He opened his mouth and found that he could no longer call out that familiar name.

Lin Banxia didn't realize his problem. Just now, he felt that it had come for a short time, and the mysterious feeling that appeared in the dream surfaced from the subconscious again. His senses became very wonderful, and his eyes passed through the wall in front of him and looked into the distance.

He even saw Song Qingluo.

Song Qingluo was lying on the cold bed, weak as if she was about to die, her hands and feet were tightly bound, the skin on her body was neatly cut and separated, and then transported out like a transport material... Then, unknown The drug was injected into his body, and he struggled violently like a dehydrated fish. However, this kind of struggle was meaningless in the face of confinement. Lin Banxia saw Song Qingluo's slightly open mouth and half-drooping eyes. His beloved black eyes had lost their color and never returned to when they first met. gloss flow.

Lin Banxia felt a throbbing pain in her forehead. The pain was very strong, but it was not as good as one-tenth of what Song Qingluo experienced. His beloved, who is reluctant to hurt his lover in the slightest, has become the material for making weapons in others. It is like a piece of delicate cloth without dignity, and can only be slaughtered by others.

The pain intensified again, until the soft little hand attached to Lin Banxia's forehead, and Xiaohua whispered in his ear. Lin Banxia was very awake, but couldn't hear what Xiao Hua said. He seemed to agree, but he didn't seem to say anything. When the pain disappeared from his body, he finally heard the call coming from behind him.

"Panxia—" Someone was calling his name.

Lin Banxia turned her head and saw Ji Leshui calling his name. The moment she saw him, she showed a look of shrinking and fear. This fear is not intentional, it is just human instinct when faced with danger.

Lin Banxia blinked: "Leshui?"

"Are you all right?" Ji Leshui asked in a trembling voice.

"It's okay." Lin Banxia tilted her head, not quite understanding what happened to Ji Leshui, "I think it's alright."

Ji Leshui said blankly, "What's the matter?"

Lin Banxia said, "It's all over." After he finished speaking, he raised his hand slightly and snapped his fingers as lightly as Ji Feng.

The next moment, in Ji Leshui's blank eyes, time stopped.

Lin Banxia stood up and gently placed the motionless flowers and caves together in his arms. He stroked them and dropped a gentle kiss on their foreheads as he usually did.

After the kiss ended, Lin Banxia turned around, walked to the door and held the doorknob of the room. There was a momentary pause in his movements, and it was only for a moment. The next moment, Lin Banxia opened the door of the room—as he had done countless times.

What should have been the corridor outside the house became an empty wilderness, with a white building standing on it, like a cold tomb.

Lin Banxia took a step forward, stepped out of the room, and then closed the door lightly, cutting off Ji Leshui's last sight.

Abandoning some heavy things that bound his body, Lin Banxia felt that his body became very light, he closed his eyes, and the light spots hovering in the air around him were so afraid that he seemed to keep fleeing into the distance. leave. Lin Banxia ignored these changes. He knew that he still had important things to do.

Because of a sudden change, the base was heavily guarded.

But this kind of vigilance was of no use to Lin Banxia. He walked in as easily as he walked into his own house.

The time was stopped by him at 16:37, and if he wanted, he could stay at this moment forever.

There was chaos inside the base, injured and dead people could be seen everywhere, and there were even corpses piled up in the corners before they could be dealt with. It seemed that it was no easier here than outside. Although he was not familiar with this place, Lin Banxia knew very well where Song Qingluo was, and it took him almost a few minutes to reach that special room.

This house is much stronger than the house next to it. Even the doors have four or five doors. You don't need to think about it to know that there must be treasures cherished in the base hidden inside.

It is also a treasure that Lin Banxia is thinking about.

Pushing open the heavy door with ease, Lin Banxia smelled the strong smell of blood. He looked up and saw the finished leather hanging on the wall. The leather was soft, and it didn't have the hideous appearance it had when I first saw it. It seemed like it was just an ordinary leather material. Just a glance made Lin Banxia's eyelids jump.

Going further inside, it is Song Qingluo. Just like what Lin Banxia saw just now, he was lying on the bed weakly, the wound on his back had not healed, and he could see the bright red texture exposed outside. How painful is it to be skinned alive? Lin Banxia neither wanted nor dared to think about it.

Stopping in front of Song Qingluo, Lin Banxia's fingers in the void, please be gentle, those wounds healed quickly, he untied the chains that imprisoned Song Qingluo, and put him in his arms.

It's still so light, like a piece of soft paper, Lin Banxia thought, how on earth has he survived all these years. So many boxes, so many heretical things, how many times Song Qingluo has experienced such torture, from the bones to the flesh, every part of the body is being used as a tool.

Lin Banxia slowly lowered her head and dropped a trembling kiss on his back. He blinked his eyes and felt something fall from his eye sockets, hitting Song Qingluo's back heavily. After a while, Lin Banxia realized that he was crying, but it was strange that he didn't feel too much sadness, as if his emotions had gradually left his body, and those grief and sorrow finally turned into pity. , not between lovers, but God showing mercy to the people he cares for.

The wonderful sound of music reached his ears again, distant and distant, as if coming from the void, and Lin Banxia's eyes were full of green light. He was silent for a moment, picked up the person in his arms, and turned to leave.

When walking out of the base, Lin Banxia met Ji Feng in the huge courtyard.

Ji Feng's time was actually stopped. With a posture of looking up at the sky, he was fascinated by the falling raindrops above his head, like a statue of pious prayer.

Lin Banxia passed by in front of him, bringing a breeze, the wind swept up Ji Feng's clothes, his eyes blinked suddenly, and soon solidified again.

This is the sadness of defective products. I have seen a wider world, but I am destined to be unable to reach there...

Lin Banxia left the base with Song Qingluo in his arms. In the empty wasteland, he raised his hand and opened an invisible door out of thin air. Behind the door were Ji Leshui and two children who were frozen in the hotel.

Lin Banxia did not go in, but leaned over and placed Song Qingluo on the soft carpet. His movements were very light and light, afraid of hurting him, so he put Song Qingluo down like a fragile china.

The music began to get louder, as if urging, Lin Banxia knew that she didn't have much time, so she placed a soft kiss on Song Qingluo's lips.

It won't hurt anymore, Lin Banxia thought, he wants to suspend all this, even if it is only a moment in the long river of human beings, but for some people, it is already a long life.

I don't know if there is still time to come back, but even if he comes back, the one who came back may not be him anymore.

Some regrets, but also the price to end the pain.

Lin Banxia gently closed the door, disappearing into the green light that filled the sky.

The rain started to fall again, and the time returned to normal. After Song Qingluo's eyelashes trembled slightly, she opened it blankly, as if she had a long dream.

There was some pain in the dream, but luckily it wasn't too hard, because there was a person named Lin Banxia.

The author has something to say:

Ji Leshui: Pinellia, are you leaving now

Lin Banxia: Yes, don't miss me

Ji Leshui: Did you come to me to borrow money after you decided not to come back? ?

Lin Banxia: Oh, my dear friend, that's really nothing.

Ji Leshui: I'll go back to—
