"Sleep in a room?"

The bright pink neon light shone obliquely on half of An Wujiu's slightly raised eyebrows, making it look both good and evil.

"Otherwise?" Shen Ti raised the corner of his mouth, "Do you still want to trouble Xiao Zhong?"

These words quickly convinced An Wujiu that he had already caused too much trouble for Zhong Yirou.

Shen Ti pointed to a tall building shining with golden light not far away, in German style, it seemed to be the most formal hotel in this area.

An Wujiu thought, in fact, Shen Ti doesn't need to help him with these things, he can completely let him find it himself, although this time went smoothly, but Gabriel is equipped with a gun, in case he makes a mistake and touches the opponent's back , may be really put in danger.

He didn't want to do this, after all, Shen Ti had just come out of a long and dangerous game.

I don't know if we can get together next time.

"Let's go." An Wujiu said to Shen Ti, "I invite you to stay."

So the two walked along the street to the hotel that Shen Ti had just chosen, many aircrafts flew over their heads, An Wujiu didn't look up, he didn't look sideways, but he couldn't stop glancing at Shen Ti from the corner of his eye.

Shen Ti should have been lying just now, there is probably nothing in the bubble gum, otherwise the cost of opening a nightclub would be too high for him to be taken away so easily.

Rao analyzed it like this, but he still didn't let go, hoping in his heart that nothing would happen to Shen Ti.

"What if you can't find your mother?"

Shen Ti, who had finally calmed down, opened his mouth, and asked such a sentence suddenly.

An Wujiu was also stunned.

He actually knew that he was a person with no past and no future.

He didn't know why he entered the altar, he just guessed it was because of his mother's illness.

He didn't know how to leave the Colosseum. He was just a speck of dust that was passively drawn into the vortex. He might die in an unknown checkpoint one day.

"Not finding it is not the worst possibility."

An Wujiu knew that when Shen Ti asked this, he was trying to get around, telling him not to take finding his mother as his only sustenance.

Otherwise, once you are disappointed, you will lose everything.

So he said again: "When I suddenly woke up in the warm-up match of the copy of Red and Black, I actually forgot a lot of things. But at that time, I heard a voice, she said that if you survive, you can retrieve all your memories. "

"If the previous goal can't be achieved, I'll change it to get back all the memories." An Wujiu lowered his eyes.

Shen Ti nodded, "What about after you find it?"

An Wujiu looked at him with a peaceful smile on his face, "If I'm still alive at that time, let's talk about it."

Shen Ti thought in his heart, An Wujiu is more world-weary than himself.

Although he often has abnormal kindness in places like the altar, in essence, he doesn't like this world at all.

He was the one who was pushed away, and he couldn't even find the culprit behind his current situation.

So once he achieves all his goals, maybe he will really disappear.

Thinking of this, Shen Ti couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

He seemed unwilling to see this person disappear, out of a strange instinct.

Crossing a busy road, they came to the very decent-looking hotel. The ratio of the robot security guards at the door was a little out of balance. Along the high marble steps, the two of them went up and were about to enter the revolving door. A burst of infrared rays locked the two of them. .

"Sorry, no access without a citizen chip."

Do you still want these

Shen Ti was a little surprised, "It's fine if I don't have one. Didn't you immigrate here? Didn't you?"

An Wujiu didn't know why, they hit a wall, so they had to leave first.

"Looks like I'm not lucky enough to live in a big hotel." Shen Ti was quite open-minded, "I knew I should go to the black market to buy a chip and install it."

"Can you buy it in the black market?" An Wujiu asked.

"Of course, it's just a sky-high price. Usually, people who have nowhere to go will sell the chip." Shen Ti said while searching for nearby hotels that don't need citizen chips.

Finally, in the corner of the two-person block, I found an unorthodox-looking hotel named after porn stars of the last century, with gaudy neon signs flashing and flashing, and cheap Japanese-style decoration.

"Go in, only this kind of place can take us in."

Hearing Shen Ti's words, An Wujiu couldn't refute, so he had to follow behind, step by step, stepping up the somewhat decayed wooden steps, the light at the front desk of the hotel was purple blue, a red-haired woman who was not young was sitting behind the stage, Watching a movie with a VR device.

It wasn't until Shen Ti leaned against the counter and tapped his fingers on the table that the other party turned off the device and looked at the two of them, "Good evening, handsome guys."

An Wujiu looked upright, "I want two rooms."

A smile that An Wujiu couldn't read appeared on the woman's face, "Two rooms?"

"right."

"Okay." She looked a little disappointed, started a terminal on the counter, swiped her fingers a few times on it, "Do you need any other services?"

An Wujiu thought for a while, "Send some food in."

The woman glanced at him, swiped and pulled her fingers a few more times, "Okay, male or female?"

An Wujiu didn't understand, "Are you talking about me?"

"That's right." She laughed, "If the two of you have the same taste, you can choose together."

Shen Ti also started to smile strangely.

An Wujiu realized something, he probably accidentally uttered a slang term for some kind of service here, "No, I want food, real food."

"Okay." The front desk pouted and pointed the scanning camera at the two of them.

Seeing the result after a while, he frowned, "None of you have chips."

An Wujiu nodded.

"Then we can only open one room." The other party was also very helpless if he couldn't earn much money, "Now it's the deportation period, and the control is strict. If we are found out, we will really have to revoke the license."

Shen Ti smiled, "You still have your license."

The other party glared at him, then patted the counter, "It's just one room, you can't live here."

"Okay." An Wujiu compromised, "The double room."

"We don't have a standard double room here. We only have a big bed. What can we do with two beds?" The other party didn't talk to them, set up a room, and handed them a card with a smile.

"If you have other needs, you can swipe your card to order self-service. I wish you a happy evening."

Because it was a black household, An Wujiu paid double the price for a room, followed the stairs to find the number on the card, it was the room at the end of the corridor on the second floor. There are gaudy adult murals everywhere, Ukiyo-e style, plus the pink lights in the whole corridor, it makes people dizzy.

The door recognized the two and opened automatically. The decoration inside is not much different from the outside, but it is clean and not spacious. There is a conspicuous heart-shaped water bed in the center.

"Finally I can rest for a while." Shen Ti was very open-minded, walked in swaggeringly, and fell headlong on the bed, "It's quite comfortable."

An Wujiu closed the door, checked the cabinet here, there were all kinds of sex toys inside, he took out a pair of handcuffs, and inspected it.

"You really like this kind of thing." Shen Ti sat by the bed and looked at him.

An Wujiu put it down, "I just don't think this kind of leather handcuffs can hold people down."

"It wasn't intended for this purpose."

After closing the cupboard door, An Wujiu entered the bathroom. The inside was so small that he could hardly turn around. Just like that, a large bathtub was installed, which took up almost half of the bathroom space.

He turned around, looked at the mirror on the sink, and saw his own face.

An Wujiu was curious about how the flower lines on his neck and chest were made, so he stretched out his hands and rubbed them, but they couldn't get rid of them. These lines seemed to grow from the depths of the flesh, just like real flowers, except that their The soil is my own body.

He took a shower along the way, avoiding his wrist, the injury was much better than before.

It's just that he suddenly wondered, the injuries he suffered in the game would not be brought into reality, so his injuries were suffered in reality

An Wujiu thought about it, he had no enemies.

But he thought about it again, maybe there really is, just like Gabriel wanted revenge against Maguire, but the other party has been hiding in the altar.

Could it be that he was saved from suffering because he hid in the altar

But in his memory, he was the most ordinary college student, and he was at home on a leave of absence, so he had no chance to make enemies at all.

The more he thought about it, the more An Wujiu felt that his memory was full of contradictions and problems.

Shen Ti had nothing to do and sat cross-legged on the bed, the sound of water in the bathroom made his mind wander, so he turned on the projector, looking for something to look at, only to find that they were all featured videos of our store without exception.

He was about to turn it off, but the touch controls in the hotel didn't work well. He accidentally clicked on one of them, and it happened to be two men.

In less than a minute, the two kissed hard. Shen Ti felt that it was not interesting, and was about to turn it off. Just at this stall, he heard the sound of the bathroom door opening.

The first reaction was to turn around and face An Wujiu who was wiping his hair with his head tilted. He changed into a white flannel nightgown in the bathroom, which was folded and wrapped, with a slender waist drawn out by the ties, and a particularly attractive arc stretched out from the snow-white side neck.

An Wujiu's beautiful black eyes glanced up, looked at the projection behind Shen Ti, then fell back to his face, and finally raised his eyebrows.

Shen Ti didn't intend to explain, turned his head and turned off the projector, and the dry wood and fire turned into darkness.

"finished Wash?"

"Yeah." An Wujiu thought he was going to take a bath too, so he reminded, "The water is a bit cold."

Shen Ti turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, "Do you want to cover yourself with a quilt?"

An Wujiu didn't answer, walked barefoot to the bed, Shen Ti looked over, there was a bunch of wet footprints on the ground, quite cute.

Wrapped in a quilt and sat cross-legged, An Wujiu felt better, remembered something, and said to Shen Ti: "There is only one bathrobe inside, and I've already put it on."

Shen Ti turned his face and asked with a smile, "So what do you mean?"

"It means that you can only wear the previous clothes after taking a shower, or not at all." Very rare, An Wujiu made a small joke, although he is not good at it.

Shen Ti looked at him, thinking he hadn't noticed, and he had changed again.

Actually no, it was An Wujiu who was soft-hearted and easy to handle.

A few strands of his half-dry hair were scattered around his cheeks, which seemed to be very different from his usual calm and self-possessed look. Maybe it's because he just took a shower, his skin is very transparent, his thin upper eyelids are slightly red, and blue blood vessels can be seen.

There was a smile on the corners of his eyes and brows, making Shen Ti lose his mind for a moment.

In fact, the An Wujiu in front of people is kind and modest, absolutely nothing to do with the word cold as ice, but for some reason, no matter how much he helps others and takes over everything like a savior, there will always be a strong sense of alienation in him.

But at this moment, An Wujiu in front of him was more human and less defensive.

Insisting on comparing with those people who struck up a conversation, Shen Ti thought, he should be considered special now, although he couldn't figure out why he would be reduced to comparing with those guys.

Just as he was thinking, a finger suddenly reached between Shen Ti's eyebrows.

It is innocent.

"How on earth is this fixed?" An Wujiu's fingertips pressed the little red dot, a gemstone that looked like a drop of blood.

"You really don't give up." Shen Ti held his fingers naturally, "Of course I had it when I was born, it's amazing."

"You lied to me again." An Wujiu's words were very soft, only his red lips opened and closed slightly, he wanted to retract his fingers, but Shen Ti just kept pulling.

"I haven't lied to you a few times." There was a little helplessness in Shen Ti's smile, "I'm already restrained in front of you."

It seems that it is.

An Wujiu suddenly had some bad intentions, he was a little strange, he felt like he had changed, but he didn't.

So under the instigation of this subconscious, his grasped finger hooked down, hooked Shen Ti's hand, and he also moved closer, closer to Shen Ti's face.

"What are you doing?" Facing An Wujiu's initiative, Shen Ti was not used to it, and even leaned back a little.

"Let me see if your eyes are fake."

An Wujiu's expression was obviously full of thirst for knowledge, but it gave people a seductive misleading.

Those black pupils were like a mirror, reflecting Shen Ti's face.

The red coral beads wavered in his eyes, just like Shen Ti's heart at the moment.

too close.

An Wujiu suddenly realized that this distance was beyond the safe range.

Shen Ti is not like other people, his eyes are wandering around, he doesn't know how to offend, he just looks straight into his own eyes. It seemed that from the first moment he woke up at the altar, these eyes had been watching him.

In his calculations, he and Shen Ti reached a kind of tacit understanding of being both an enemy and a friend, and they formed a bond of trust with each other in times of crisis.

But it doesn't seem to stop there.

Shen Ti is very conniving, he won't get angry when he touches the jewel between his eyebrows, he won't get angry when he says his eyes are fake, and he won't rush if he doesn't speak for a long time.

Looking at each other for a long time, there is always one person who will be defeated first.

"Why did you help me?"

Shen Ti was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect that An Wujiu's mind could jump like this, he thought he was talking about the adult club, "Because I have to do business, otherwise I'll be stuck there forever."

An Wujiu stared at him, "I said everything before."

Shen Ti stopped talking.

After a while, as if he had really thought about it carefully for a long time, he said again: "Maybe it's because you are special, I thought so from the first time I saw you."

Because of enough caution, this sentence will not make An Wujiu suspect that it is a lie.

"You want to survive, find your loved ones, and retrieve your memories. Everything you want to do is meaningful. If I help you, then my life will also have a little meaning."

After speaking, he gave An Wujiu a smile.

"It's strange. So many people of all kinds have never given me this illusion."

An Wujiu is good at planning, and he also understands that he should not easily fall in love with people, at least not people he met in the altar. Perhaps after more than ten hours, he and this person will never meet again.

Probably precisely because of this thought, he suddenly had a trace of determination that he had no future.

"Shen Ti."

"Huh?" Shen Ti was very surprised, why An Wujiu was jumping while talking tonight, and suddenly called his name, everything was abnormal.

"That's not an illusion."

An Wujiu's eyes are clearly clear, but there is a kind of compelling beauty.

"No matter how many levels..."

"Can you survive for me?"
