Qizi

Chapter 125 Infinite

Even Yingfeng, who was reincarnated as a lone star with incomplete emotions, felt this lack from the depths of his soul, as if a place of belonging suddenly disappeared, and it was clear that his feet were his own land, but he felt a strong sense of wandering.

It suddenly occurred to him that Fu Yao said that soul traction is limited by the distance from the lighthouse, so what will happen to the Tianxiu people who lost the lighthouse?

He turned around and looked around. People supported each other with grief, but there were also some people who knelt and refused to get up. His eyes fell on someone, and he rushed over suddenly and grabbed Daixuan's wrist. In his frail and boneless hands, he tightly held a sharp dagger.

"You're crazy," he snapped, "you'll lose your mind if you do this."

Only then did Daixuan raise her head, looking at the aloof Yingfeng, her face was covered with tears, her voice was so depressing that it was unbearable to listen to it.

"Then if you continue to live, won't your soul fly away?"

Yingfeng was at a loss for words, he froze even holding the opponent's hand, not knowing whether to grasp or let go.

Fu Yao came over, took the dagger from her hand without saying a word, and casually threw it aside.Yingfeng let go of her hand, this time Daixuan didn't pick it up again, but lowered her head again, Yingfeng clearly saw tears dripping silently on the ground below her.

"Who the hell are they?" Fu Yao asked, and Nie Yun also came over at this time. They risked hitting the ground and forcibly jumped back, but they still didn't catch up with the last moment of the enemy's self-destructive attack.

Yingfeng didn't know much about this, "It's the same race as us, not afraid of injury, not afraid of death, and can be reincarnated after death."

Everyone promoted to general will be told the truth about the Tianxiu race, and will pass on the secrets of the base from generation to generation. Fu Yao naturally knows that they are not a natural species, but the Tianxiu people wiped out their creators. At the moment, only Yingfeng knew the truth through Ling Xiao's senses, and he didn't tell anyone afterwards, not even Fu Yao.

"Could it be that our genes have been cloned?" Nie Yun's first reaction was also this.

"Impossible," Fu Yao positively denied this possibility, "I'm sure no one has disappeared during this period."

The last time someone tried to take Tianxiu hostage, it was Taiyin and Huangsu people plotting against Yingfeng, that was decades ago.

"Then what are we going to do now? Could it really be..."

Sit and wait to perish?Nie Yun rarely felt at a loss about the future.

Fu Yao took a step forward with a solemn expression, looking at the direction where the soul tree fell, the enemy was also completely wiped out in the destructive attack just now, who is this kind of person who wants to destroy them at all costs?

Yingfeng always felt that something was missing around him. He kept looking around, until Nie Yun asked him what he was looking for, and suddenly thought, "Did any of you see a gray wolf?"

Fu Yao and Nie Yun looked at each other inexplicably, and shook their heads in unison.

Yingfeng was very worried, he left Fu Yao and the two of them and hurried away, rarely asked anyone they met, but no one noticed Xiao Hui's trace.

He remembered that Xiao Hui had been following him to the base before, so he walked along the same road, and daggers fell on the ground along the way, each dagger was a life, at first glance, it seemed as if corpses were scattered all over the field, which was shocking.

The base was destroyed beyond recognition by the war. Yingfeng still remembered the shock brought by those majestic buildings when he first visited when he was a baby, but now he only sees desolation.

He walked among the rough rubble and potholes, calling Xiao Hui's name while walking, the surroundings were dead silent, even the rustling sound caused by the wind blowing through the leaves of the collapsed Soul Tree was very clear.

It was only then that Yingfeng realized that he had already walked in front of the tree of souls. He originally thought that there would be no one here, but he didn't expect that there were two people standing in front of the tree's body with their backs to him, one with his hands behind his back, and his hair was A very rare pale yellow color, another person stood upright obliquely behind him.

"I'm sorry, may I ask you..."

He stopped abruptly in the middle of a sentence, and the person standing in front slowly turned around when he heard the sound, and when his true face was refreshed in front of Yingfeng little by little, Yingfeng involuntarily opened his eyes wide.

"Zhuyue? How could it be you?!" Since the Eagle Eagle blew up, he had no news of this person.

Zhuyue's demeanor has changed since the last time he saw him. At that time, Yingfeng thought he was a madman, but the person in front of him was full of danger that Yingfeng could feel.

Compared with Yingfeng's vigilance, Zhuyue smiled disapprovingly and took two steps forward. The person behind him also turned around. Although they had exactly the same face as Zhenhe, they were expressionless, and their eyes were icy cold. There is no human temperature to speak of.

Yingfeng had a hunch that he was not a good person, "Why are you here?"

"Come to pay homage to the tree of souls," Zhuyue said without any change in her tone, "Long time no see, the sunglasses on your face are really ridiculous."

Yingfeng's eyes darkened when he was reminded of the past by his words, of course Zhuyue couldn't see it.

"Where's Ling Xiao? Did he die in the explosion that year?" Zhuyue knew nothing about what happened after he left, "It's really pitiful to die as a baby."

He paused, then asked again, "What about you? After so many years, you still haven't formed a bond with anyone? Otherwise, you might have taken off your sunglasses long ago." The person I disdain, but I am willing to die for another person, even if Ling Xiao is gone, I am still a little jealous of him."

Yingfeng glanced at the eye-pillow crane calmly, "His eyes are black."

"Ah," Zhuyue didn't deny it at all, "because he's not Zhenhe. Although I still call him the same name, it's either or it's not. I know this better than you."

"What about the Crane Man?"

"Like Ling Xiao, the soul is gone, right in front of me." He narrated the incident expressionlessly, as if he was talking about someone who had nothing to do with him.

Yingfeng didn't make a sound, let alone correct him, but Zhuyue continued on by herself, as if she had waited too long and desperately needed an audience.

"I think you must be wondering, where did we go after that incident?"

He lowered his eyes, and without waiting for Yingfeng to ask, he fell into memory, "Zihe was forced to form a bond by me, and he never forgave me. Although I am the owner of the contract, I am wary of my contract day and night, but how come?" I didn't expect that he would rather lose his own life than die with me."

"After my plan failed, I was calculated by him during the escape. He set the destination of the escape ship to Mars, a place that the Tianxiu people would never be able to reach. Breaking through the distance drawn by the soul, our bodies will gradually Decline and perish, not even the soul can return."

"Although I can't move, my senses are still awake, so I can clearly see every detail of his departure." He lowered his head and giggled strangely, "The fragments of his soul just disappeared into the vast universe, Can't get together anymore, as Qizi, he is not even as resistant to soul pulling as Qizhu, do you think it's ridiculous?"

Yingfeng laughed so hard that his hairs stood on end. If that Zhuyue was a paranoid lunatic back then, by now he has completely lost human reason.What is going on in his mind is completely incomprehensible to normal people. He is immersed in his own world, either driving the people around him crazy or killing himself.

"Yingfeng, I admit that I was infatuated with you when I was a baby, but I can only say that the code of loyalty engraved in the genes of Tianxiu people is too powerful. Even an impure Tianxiu person like me is influenced by it, even if it is used by myself. When we are together, we gradually start to be single-minded towards him.”

"I believe he treats me the same way, but he can't let go of the hatred in his heart. How does it feel to love and hate a person? I think it's probably the same as how I felt about you when you first formed a bond with Ling Xiao. .”

He raised his head, "Yingfeng, do you still remember what you said to me at that time? You asked me not to interfere in your housework. Even if you were forced to come together without any feelings, you would still be together from the very beginning." Treat him as a family member, just from that sentence, let me never forgive you no matter what."

"I have nothing to do with you." Yingfeng didn't interrupt until then.

"You're right," Zhuyue continued, "I've been weaker than others since I woke up. The gap is so big that I can't catch up even if I try hard. People either laugh at me or bully me. But you who are the biggest gap with me Saved me at that time. My wishful thinking for you started from then on. No matter how much I was ridiculed and insulted by others, as long as I hid in the fantasy of being with you, everything around me was not so important, even fists and feet. It doesn't seem that painful."

His naked confession made Yingfeng uncomfortable, but Zhuyue was not ashamed of it.

"I know you must think I'm disgusting, but if I really have fantasies about you, I can spend every day in the junior college with hope. I know that even if you saved me, you still look down on me in your heart, even if I I feel disdainful even if you take the initiative to ask for your heart and soul, only Ling Xiao, who is on par with you, can get more attention from you."

"As for me, no one has ever looked at me seriously, and no one has encouraged me. Although I have acquired the ability of the pillow crane, and even recovered the memory of being an ancient Tianxiu person, I still can't get rid of the old psychology. On such occasions, no matter who they are facing, they dare not raise their heads.”

"The first person who told me to walk with my head up was Nail Crane. Whether he was out of malicious sarcasm or whatever, at least he really changed me bit by bit. I thought my college career I will continue my days in Bikong, but under his whipping, I gradually regained my confidence, and finally I can look directly into the eyes of others."

It was only then that Yingfeng realized that those words just now were said by Zhuyue staring into his own eyes. This simple thing for others, it only appeared briefly when he mustered up the courage to confess many years ago. , but even then it was flickering and restless.The pillow crane really left a huge mark on Zhuyue's body, and Yingfeng finally knew what the most obvious contrast between the two periods before and after was.

Zhuyue closed her eyes, as if she had returned to many years ago, the familiar voice reprimanded him through gritted teeth, you have obtained my ability, and you are so timid, even I feel ashamed for you!

——If you don’t want to be looked down upon forever, walk with your head up. If you can’t even lift your head up, who will look at you!

"He was the first person to see me," Zhuyue murmured to herself, "maybe I'm lonely to this extent, even if it's just doing this, it's enough to satisfy me, the genetic code is loyal to each other or something, It’s all just a self-deceiving excuse.”

"And you," he slowly opened his eyes again, "Ling Xiao was the only person I saw from the beginning to the end. From a certain point of view, we really have a certain degree of similarity."

Yingfeng didn't want to listen to his crazy memories anymore, he only cared about one question, "Then how did you survive?"

"Me?" Zhuyue said casually, "I was rescued at the last moment. You must have heard of them. They are the descendants of the ancient Tianxiu people who immigrated to Mars thousands of years ago. They It will not only continue the bloodline of the ancient Tianxiu people, but also develop a thriving population and make the country rich and strong, which is absolutely impossible for the rebel army back then."

"For them, I can be regarded as a compatriot who was forced to use Lone Star to survive back then. My good colleague who fled from the Academy of Sciences had already secretly copied the code of Lone Star, not to mention my joining to reshape artificial intelligence. It’s so easy for people.”

Yingfeng was startled, "Those people just now, could it be..."

"That's right," Zhuyue admitted frankly, "I've been dormant for so long just to give you this fatal blow. What we created are Lone Stars, the first version of you. They have no feelings, are absolutely obedient, and have no souls. With the existence of traction, even if the order is to self-destruct, it will follow without hesitation."

"So this person is the lonely star that you cloned by imitating the appearance of the pillow crane?" Yingfeng couldn't understand, "Why don't you give him human affection, so that he is closer to the person you miss?"

"Feelings?" Zhuyue repeated it disdainfully, turning her head to look at that face obsessively, but this kind of look could never be answered, "What's the use of feelings? Without feelings there is no betrayal, he will always obey Me, whatever I say, he executes without thinking."

He turned back, "It was the worst decision I made to let you have feelings. If it weren't for being too confident in the ability to control human beings, there would be no tragedy of the creator being wiped out by the product."

After saying this, he grinned, "But everything is over here, you are born from my hands, and you will end in my hands. Without the tree of souls, without the lighthouse, the soul-drawn Symptoms will soon appear on every Tianxiu person. You will lose your mobility little by little until you die completely. I have experienced that feeling personally, just like the power of the battery is slowly running out. I assure you that It's a taste, it won't be a good feeling."

"You don't have to think about immigrating to Mars and repeating history. In order to prevent you from doing so, I personally modified the function of the lighthouse. Only the souls of the lone star can be guided, and we are firmly excluded."

Yingfeng noticed that his pronoun had changed from you to us, "You can't even reincarnate yourself if you do this."

"I am just an ordinary human being. Without you, I would have died of old age more than 4000 years ago. I am content with living for so long. Someone once buried me with their souls, but I failed to die. Today, I will sleep all day buried with his soul."

He had finished what he wanted to say, turned around and walked towards the small aircraft parked aside, only then did Yingfeng realize that he could not be let go.

"Don't go!" He rushed up to stop him, but the fake pillow crane was in front of him. After such a delay, he had already boarded the aircraft.

"We are going to the end anyway, does it make any difference whether you kill me now or not?" Zhuyue finally turned around and said, "But unfortunately, I still want to stay a little longer and see the end of the Tianxiu people's demise with my own eyes. .”

He raised his voice, "Come back, pillow crane."

The person who was given the same name jumped a few steps facing Yingfeng, and quickly closed the hatch after entering the aircraft. Yingfeng just hesitated, and they left in front of him. Fu Yao and others who came later Only one shadow was captured.

"Who was that just now?" Fu Yao asked Ying Feng.

Yingfeng calmed down and sorted out Zhuyue's words, and repeated the key parts. Sure enough, everyone who heard it showed panic. The facts were too shocking, even well-trained soldiers could not accept it for a while.

"I believe what he said is true," Fu Yao's eyes fluctuated rapidly, which is the expression of his thinking, "but we can't sit still like this."

He thought for a moment, "Although this is a bit risky..."

"No matter what you want to do, I will follow." Nie Yun stood up without hesitation.

His loyal subordinates also stood up one by one, "Marshal Long Yin is no longer here, and you are the new Marshal who succeeds us. No matter what the Marshal's orders are, we will obey them unconditionally."

Fu Yao solemnly nodded to the trusting eyes of the crowd.

"There used to be a tree species in the military headquarters, but its whereabouts are still unknown. Although the properties of the Martian lighthouse have been modified, there must be a soul tree there, and it was planted in a short period of time. It is impossible to grow very fast."

"I know that the probability of getting it is very slim, and it is very likely that we will not come back after we go this time, but as long as there is one person who can bring it back, those who stay here can live."

"Since staying is death, and leaving is death, we can only die to survive, and gather the remaining forces of the military department. As long as anyone is willing to go together, one more person will have a higher probability."

Yingfeng took a step forward, "I'll go too."

"You're still a baby." Nie Yun retorted subconsciously.

"Is there still a difference between a baby and a baby?"

Fu Yao hesitated, "Are you sure? You have waited for Ling Xiao for decades at the risk of losing your soul, maybe he will come back in the next moment. If he comes back and you leave, what are you waiting for for decades? significance?"

Yingfeng's expression was calm, "If he goes back and sees me struggling to survive alone to wait for him before the country is in danger, he will also be disappointed for me."

Fu Yao hesitated for a while, and finally made a decision.

"Okay, I respect your choice."

The surviving forces of the military headquarters came from all directions one after another, and Yingfeng reunited with his former classmates again, Bingcan, Hongmao, Yuji, Shuangfeng...their hands were tightly held together, and they gathered again after many years. But to die together.

Yuji misses Xiaohui in his heart, besides Yingfeng and the pastor, he is the closest person to him all these years, so he can't help but ask Yingfeng when he sees him.

This reminded Yingfeng Xiaohui's disappearance again, he reported it to Fu Yao, and several people split up to look for it.

Today was probably the day when Yingfeng took the initiative to chat with different people the most. A burly man was not far away. Yingfeng walked over and asked him.

"Excuse me, did you see a gray wolf around here?"

The man turned around, and Yingfeng was stunned. This rare person who was taller than him actually had a pair of light gray eyes. Even Yingfeng, a well-developed subcontractor, would look up at him. What kind of owner would have such a heavy taste.

After seeing Yingfeng, this burly Qizi unexpectedly had an imperceptible look of fear in his eyes, and subconsciously leaned back.

"No." He replied in a standard Tianxiu dialect.

Yingfeng, who had something on his mind, didn't notice that much, but noticed the other person behind him, who was completely blocked just now, which shows how thick the person in front of him is.

Will he be the owner of this person?Ying Feng looked at the man's back uncertainly. He obviously looked a few centimeters shorter than himself, but when he thought of Fu Yao and Nie Yun, he thought it was possible.

Yingfeng asked for the answer. He should have left here to look for it elsewhere, but for some reason, he stood firmly in place, and his eyes kept falling on that person. The more he looked at it, the more familiar his back seemed.

"Excuse me..." He opened his mouth in a deep voice, and the person who had always turned his back to him also slowly turned around in his voice, and the face that he had missed for decades appeared like this miraculously in sight.

"Ling Xiao!" Yingfeng couldn't believe his eyes, subconsciously took a step forward, but stopped abruptly.

Ling Xiao, who had turned around completely, still had his old appearance and his iconic smile, except for the light gray eyes that Yingfeng was used to, but now they were pitch black and bottomless.

As for Ling Xiao, who turned around, after seeing Yingfeng, the corners of his mouth became even more curved, revealing a mouthful of white teeth playfully, and his eyes blinked like playing slow motion. The slender eyelashes seemed to be able to Stirring the air, the scorching temperature around Yingfeng was instantly fanned to freezing point.

"Hi," Ling Xiao said with a smile to the dumbfounded Yingfeng, "Long time no see."
