Imperial Journey

Chapter 30

... "

"Yu Wenliu didn't come back either." Liu Ci's voice was a little tired, "I think this matter is no longer just about Dihua, I went there again three days ago..."

"Then how did you come back?" Yu Wenhui finally asked again, "Since the Lost Forest won't let anyone come out, how did you come back?"

The surroundings fell into silence again, Liu Ci buried his face in his palms, at first his shoulders trembled, and then there was a whimpering sound, a big boy was crying badly.

Father Yu seemed to know something, and patted Liu Ci on the shoulder.

There seemed to be a trace of sadness in the air. Yu Wenyuan supported his father's shoulders. His father had been in the army all year round. Although life and death had been separated, but in the absence of parents and children, ordinary people would not have to bear it.

The strong man broke his wrist, and the pain penetrated his bone marrow.

"Why? What happened?" Yu Wenqing's eyes were full of tears. He was still young and couldn't accept that his brother would never come back. On his finger was the ring that his brother gave him on his birthday. A pair of rings. It is my brother's blessing to me.

The words are still in my ears, but the person is no longer there.

"What we met was a lich." Liu Ci calmed down his emotions, "The spread of the Lost Forest, Yu Wenliu said, brought another virus. The reason why I was able to come out was him, and he used an exchange condition." He replaced me." The voice behind him became lower and lower, "The [-]th lucky person is just a reason to lie to me." He was always lying to himself, cheating, I really want to be deceived.

I'm willing to cheat for a lifetime, but it's already gone for a lifetime.

"Lich, are you sure you're not telling a fairy tale?" Yu Wenhui sneered, and Yu Wenyuan reprimanded him beside him, "Wen Hui!"

"I don't believe that the second child won't come back." Yu Wenhui put down such a cold sentence, and then zoomed in on the projection, "This is the last image left by Suzaku, brother, the things you gave to the military have been sent back , The Academy of Sciences conducted a second imitation study on the things in this image, and it was unanimously determined that Liu Ci, the virus you just mentioned has indeed appeared."

The image conveys a lot of information, "You are in a coma because there is a kind of congealed particle in the forest, which looks like a black mist, but this is already an intelligent creature. It can be understood as a virus, or it can be understood as a virus. It understands as a particle wave."

"This is not an attribute." Yu Wenqing's attention began to shift.

"I don't know the specific situation, but we have made many inferences based on the images, and finally came up with several possibilities. Liu Ci, although your information sounds like a fairy tale, I should thank you for the information you brought. The point is at least useful. It opened my mind a lot.”

"This virus, or particle wave, is a kind of intelligence wave. When you are in a coma, it is the intelligence wave that covers up the fluctuations of your brain. It operates physiologically under the condition of micro-electricity, but it no longer has the thinking ability possessed by advanced intelligence. You can act autonomously when the wave band no longer affects you." Yu Wenhui explained, "According to what you said, the tree has begun to have aggressive|behavior, I infer that the tree's thinking has been eroded. And the previous Everyone's disappearance—" he paused here, "it should be its food."

The word "eating" made several people shudder.

Liu Ci looked at Yu Wenhui in shock, and murmured, "That person did say that he has already digested Wenliu's body..."

"That person?" Yu Wenhui grasped the word keenly, his eyes were cold, and the frowning of his brows could relieve the cold feeling, "He can actually be an adult..." He looked at Liu Ci, "Go on."

"The place I arrived three days ago is Walker Town." Liu Ci continued, "There is no trace of people in the town. I picked up Suzaku's communicator, so I knew they had been here. The communicator disappeared. People should ..."

"All the people in the mixed system haven't come back." Father Yu said, "They went to investigate the reason why Walker Town disappeared. Liu Ci, you didn't return to the team on time this time, and you will be punished accordingly. You, go back and report tomorrow." He quickly organized his thoughts, "If you combine your statements together, then what we are facing this time will be a catastrophe."

"The continued spread of the Lost Forest will bring catastrophe to the entire continent." Yu Wenhui said, "Continuing to expand will be the downfall of the entire human race. I still need to investigate the specific situation."

"You can't go to detect it yourself." Father Yu said directly, "The disappearance of the mixed formation is already a huge loss, and the military department will not let you take risks."

"Do you have to wait until all human beings are extinct before you go?" Yu Wenhui confronted each other, sarcastically retorted, "It's always a bit late, if I went there in time, maybe I could have saved my second brother! Kloss Why didn't you send someone to rescue the second brother? You're not worried about our family..."

Liu Ci's heart seemed to have been severely whipped, "I'm sorry," he whispered, "I am incompetent."

"You are indeed incompetent." Yu Wenhui said without hesitation, "You just left him alone in that damned forest. I really don't understand. Aren't you in love? How could you put He left alone? Go to hell with your love!"

"That's enough, stop arguing, this is an order!" Yu's father resembled a lion, his hair standing tall, "The bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders!"

Yu Wenhui just threw up his sleeves and quit, stood up, the light brain snapped and folded automatically, and finally put it on Yu Wenhui's hand like a watch, "I have something to do, I don't want to accompany you." After saying that, he slammed the door and left .

Father Yu was sitting on the sofa, his chest wheezing like a bellows.

"Dad, don't be angry. The third brother also wants the second brother to come back." Yu Wenqing comforted Yu's father, the eldest saw the situation at home, "Dad, I will take Liu Ci back to the military headquarters, you should have a good rest." Said, "There will always be a way for the second child's affairs."

Liu Ci didn't know what he should say or write, or he should say nothing, because no matter what he said now, he couldn't change the situation.After escaping for so long, the problem that should have been faced long ago has finally been put on the table. The only thing he is grateful for is that they didn't dwell on why he didn't show up until three months later.

That was his cowardice.

Don't be afraid when you pass by the edge of death, but you will be afraid later.

Soon he and Yu Wenqing were the only ones left in the living room. Yu Wenqing was still a young boy, no matter how precocious he was, he would not easily accept the news of the death of his relatives.

"I'm sorry." Liu Ci repeated again.

Yu Wenqing shook her head, and sat next to him, "You don't need to say sorry, you feel as bad as I do."

Liu Ci bowed his head in silence, with a trace of despair in his lifeless eyes.

"You treat him as a family member, don't you? We also regard you as a family member." Yu Wenqing wrapped his right hand around him and put his head on his shoulder, Liu Ci felt that his clothes were wet.

Yu Wenqing cried.

Liu Ci murmured into the air, listened carefully, and kept repeating the same sentence, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Sitting in the interrogation room, Liu Ci had a smile on his lips. The surrounding light was dazzling, which was specially set up to stimulate nerves. Although his "confession attitude" was good, he still couldn't escape the court-martial. The shame of the soldier, he has since been tied to the pillar of shame.

"What is your name."

"Liu Ci."

"Why didn't you come back?"

"I am afraid."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of dying."

"But you are not dead."

"I'm terrified of dying in the future."

"Then why did you come back?"

"Because I'm not afraid anymore."

"What gave you courage?"

"The death of a lover."

"Can you explain?"

"If I die, I will be with him; if I live, I will be with him in the future."

After Liu Ci finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly, staring at the hands in front of him.

The doctor stood up and turned on his communicator, "He is mentally normal and has never been mentally polluted."

The voice over there was silent for a while, "Transfer the communicator."

The doctor pressed a button on the back of the chair, the voice rang in Liu Ci's ear, and the doctor went out directly.

"Where's Bloody Greedy Wolf?"

"The mission failed, the blood-pupil Greedy Wolf was lost halfway."

There was a fluctuation in the air, and Liu Ci's eyes flickered unconsciously.

"you're lying."

Greedy Wolf ([-])

Xie Xingjue went back and saw Yu Wenqing sitting on the bed, his eye circles were slightly red, like a sad bear.Xie Xingjue never comforted others, so he walked over gently and sat beside him.

The two of them remained silent like this, and Xie Xingjue sat like a statue based on the principle of not talking and not asking.

"My second brother is gone." After a while, Yu Wenqing said this, and the ring on his right index finger flashed, "When I disappeared before, I still had a glimmer of hope. As long as there is no last and worst news, I will Don't expect the worst, I was told today that he will never come back."

Xie Xingjue held back for a long time, and finally said, "My condolences."

Yu Wenqing looked at him sideways, "You really don't know how to comfort people."

Seeing Xie Xingjue like this, he didn't know how to place his hands and feet. Yu Wenqing's eyes were like obsidian, black and bluish, like a boundless ocean—no, like a universe inlaid with stars, enveloping everything in the world.

And now this universe, exuding a faint brilliance,
