Chapter 104
May be an illusion.
The moment the wooden house in memory appeared in the trembling field of vision, Zhu Fu Jingguang inexplicably had a very strange idea in his heart:
I am a brave man who is about to break into the dragon's pool and tiger's lair, and it is very likely that he will never return.
Dragon pond and tiger lair...?
Ah, yes, when you think about it carefully, it makes sense to say that.
Although this place is so remote that it is almost forgotten by everyone, those who have been there have to try their luck and try their best to remember to catch a trace of the pursuit. It seems safe to hide here...
But not so naive.If Qian Mu is really here, then he must have worked so hard to avoid the shadow of the organization. However, whether the shadow was thrown away or silently blocked around, ready to catch them all, is still uneasy. the unknown.
If so, it is indeed likely to be gone forever.
After Zhu Fu Jingguang figured it out, he didn't hesitate at all. Instead, he accelerated his pace, and the eagerness that went hand in hand with reason was throbbing between his brows, like a harbinger of imminent danger.
For friends who are in danger, he has to break into Longtan and Tiger's Den, not to mention, he was ready to fight with the beasts in the dark before he came.
——It’s just that he never thought that the source of danger in the darkness is not a beast but a monster, and that monster with downcast eyes is the person he is most familiar with.
The wooden house stood at the end of the long-abandoned path, surrounded by messy weeds and shrubs, like a bleak oil painting splashed with sewage.
Comparing it with his impression... It's just that he can't remember the details clearly, and he can't compare it. In short, the erosion of the years is too obvious, and the goal is almost a dilapidated house.
No matter how anxious Zhu Fu Jingguang was, he wouldn't be so quick-witted as to kick the door in.
He carefully inspected the [-]-meter range near the wooden house. Except for the fresh footprints left by some small animals, he found no suspicious traces of human activities. The surrounding area of the wooden house has been washed by rain, and at this time it is so clean that there are only fallen leaves, oh, and there are mud pits The little girl's bow that faded in color.
Picking up the bowknot, drying it a little and putting it in his pocket, the man's thoughts surged: the torrential rain was the day before, and it lasted for a whole day. If someone hid in the house before the torrential rain, then the people inside hadn't come out for at least two days Over the house.
"A whole, two days..."
Zhu Fu Jingguang's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition gushed out immediately.
After making sure that no one was watching, he walked to the door of the wooden house in a few steps. The next moment, he found that the door had been damaged and replaced with a new lock. It acts as a windshield, and adults can knock the entire door open without using all their strength.
His hands froze for a moment on the thin door panel covered with sporadic drops of water. The man had already smelled the rotten smell from the inside of the house. At this moment, his heart was half cold, and he almost couldn't get back the heat.
... Sniff it carefully, it's okay.
It should be the smell of plants withering and decomposing silently, mixed with the dampness that has grown from the dark place that has not seen the sun for many years, like an over-oxidized half of a rotten apple in a garbage dump, dark and dirty but no one cares.
Fortunately, it wasn't the corpse that rotted.
Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't know whether he should feel lucky at this moment.
But that doesn't matter.He opened the door without hesitation, and broke into the dark depths that were more dangerous than the dragon's pond and tiger's lair he imagined.
Intruding with him is also the light from outside.
The half-cloudy sky was not bright enough, but it was more than enough to dispel some of the darkness in the house. The black-haired man and the light stepped into the wooden house at the same time, and the smell of decay became stronger. Tensioned eyes looking around.
--Where?
--found it!
The distance between front and back is only an instant, because the space in the wooden house is so narrow.
The old tables and chairs with broken legs seem to have been pushed to the wall a long time ago, leaving a large space full of dust and dust. The depression in the middle was once used to throw firewood for fire, but now there is only a dark and mixed charcoal Crumb potholes.
The only window is on the right wall, and under the window is the only intact furniture in the house, a wooden bed that can't make people sleep at all——
It was at this time that Zhu Fu Jingguang found Yuan Qianmu.
But when this scene came into his eyes, he was stunned, and he probably felt the same way as another friend, Matsuda Jinpei.
It's like... Time seems to be in a dusty wooden house, deserted and cold, but there is a dazzling bonfire lit in an unexpected corner.
Everything that is stale and dim around is separated from that extremely bright color.
The braids of the man lying on the side of the bed were not untied, but the messy part slightly covered his side face.
The light that was not blocked by Zhu Fujingguang also hit his face, the golden halo illuminated the snow-white eyelids almost transparent, and passed through the fine and slightly curled pink eyelashes, showing the mature handsomeness that has accumulated through the years. A thin layer of light shrouded the face, as safe as a holy statue.
It doesn't matter that his body is dirty and messy, he just found a place to take a nap on a whim, and there will be warm sunlight where he is, thus turning himself into a landscape in a tranquil painting.
I was just a little sleepy, so I fell asleep peacefully...?
The friend who returned after three years was too far away from the pale and weak image, so it was naturally at this time, there was no sign of unbearable pain in the eyebrows and eyes, and the red hair against the face was like an active open flame. What I saw was indeed peaceful Comfortable sleep.
Zhu Fu Jingguang almost believed it.
——If he didn't find the mobile phone that fell into the darkest place under the bed board at some time.
Most of my friend's left arm stretched over the edge of the bed. Under the cuff of the shirt, the weak wrist was hanging in the air and tilted downwards. His five fingers were slightly curled up towards the palm, as if he had once grasped something, and then released it silently at a certain moment. .
"..."
this screen.
this person.
...How could it be "calm"!
As if a voice repeated blankly in my mind, what happened?What happened to him in the organization?No, he should never have fallen to this point.
"thousand……"
Zhu Fu Jingguang gritted his teeth after murmuring a single syllable, rushing to his friend without thinking.
But he just took half a step—to be precise, he only had time to make a step forward.
His figure seemed to have been hit by an accident, and he stopped suddenly, with unbelievable astonishment in his raised cat eyes.
Just as the intruder was approaching, at least the sleeper, who was still "calm" on the surface, opened his eyes.
Zhu Fu Jingguang failed to capture the moment when the opponent's eyelids were raised, as if he had just woken up from an uncontrollable trance, and was already locked in the crimson pupil.
The man whose body was inexplicably unable to move any longer suddenly realized that this was just a "lock" and Qian Mu did not "watch" him.
Just like the intuition of a beast, even if the consciousness is precipitated in the dark, the body will still cast a cold warning to the intruders who step into its own territory.
The red-haired man was far from sober.
He just instinctively opened his eyes.
This glance caused Zhu Fu Jingguang to fall into the ice cave in an instant like a severe cold.
"Qian...Mu?"
Sweat dripped from the man's forehead, as cold as his mood at the moment.
no answer.There should be no answer.
The eyes in the dark "locked" the intruder indifferently, they were treacherously red, and the holes deep in the pupils remained unchanged.
Zhu Fu Jingguang thought he was wrong, but no matter how many times he confirmed in shock, his friend's pupils turned from deep red to pure black under the refraction of light.
The black-haired man couldn't accept the reality for a while.
In his impression, every time a friend looks at him and other people, even if there are slight differences due to different scenes, the essence will definitely not change.
Based on the tenderness that is hidden deep and hard to find, add the indifference of performance depending on the situation, and then adjust the appropriate dislike depending on the situation, and then put some joy in making fun of innocent friends Decorate cunningly, and finally put on a thick and sometimes thin layer of glass cover to disguise—well, this is Yuan Qianmu's eyes when he looks at his friends!
In the past, no matter how thick the glass cover was, at least they could see it clearly. But later on, in those eyes that were as beautiful as crimson jewels, they were hazy and couldn't see anything more and more often. so it is.
On the way to find his friend, Zhu Fu Jingguang thought that he wanted to protect the re-blooming rose, but he had to take off the outer glass cover, so he had to be extra cautious in that action, and he had to be more careful to protect it from the wind and rain.
The roses seen through the glass cover are delicate and fresh, as if they are rooted in enough fertile soil, enjoying the beautiful sunshine and rain, no matter how you look at it, you don’t need others to worry about it.
But what the real rose looks like under the glass can only be known after he removes that layer and sees it with his own eyes.
The man had envisioned many possibilities, and he felt that he was mentally prepared, no matter if it was withered or broken, as long as the roots were still alive in the soil, careful maintenance could save it.
Well, definitely no problem, he should be quite good at raising flowers, cats, and people. His cooking skills have also broken through to a new level in these years. It just so happens that Qian Mu hasn’t felt his progress yet, so he simply put aside the sandwich with zero hidden murderous intent , come to him for a change...
... In the end, is it still too optimistic?
Even when they first met under the cherry blossom tree, the red-haired youth didn't hide his disgusted eyes at all, and they were not as cold as they are now.
His heart seemed to be clenched violently, and the distance between the black-haired man and his friend had not been closed for a long time. He seemed to be firmly nailed to the spot by a sense of crisis, his blue eyes struggled and flickered, and his face showed pain.
Can't move.Even if you move a finger, open your mouth a little...it won't work.
As far as the eye can see, there is [Danger], the real [Monster].
[Monster] seems to be thinking calmly, waiting for him to approach.
He will definitely get close, so what the other party is thinking about is how to keep him, break his arm bones and leg bones, and block all his ways to escape——
The shadow cast on the ground by the fingertips hanging from the [monster] will spread to the feet of the prey at any time, devouring it mercilessly.
"..."
... This person is Qian Mu?
The man in a daze seemed to hear the door slam open suddenly, and an emotionless voice descended:
——Zhu Fu Jingguang.
——Are you sure you are ready to face the monster?
"........."
The complicated thoughts that had been in a mess suddenly emptied, and they were burned away by anger.
Zhu Fujing knew that rash actions would bring danger, so he still clenched his fists, with a forbearance of anger appearing on his face.
——It cannot be allowed.
That word is absolutely not allowed to be used on his important friend!
Are you kidding me, this condescending tone... How could Qian Mu be a terrifying [monster]!
But also thanks to this inexplicable danger omen, Zhu Fu Jingguang let go of his fist that made a crackling sound, and suddenly felt much more awake.
Well, he wasn't ready, so what?Maybe the preparation can't affect the result of "he came to rescue Yuan Qianmu".
As for other confusion.
Why keep him?
I don't know, I don't care, he was meant to stay.
Why do you think he will run away?
He can't run, a stray cat that is gone after letting go can become like this in a circle, he was so angry that he tied him up and took him home before it was too late, who the hell would run away? !
Just now, he actually stopped at a distance of a few steps... What was Zhu Fu Jingguang thinking about!
Zhu Fu Jingguang was very concerned about his absence, and when he met his friend's dark eyes, he stared back almost impolitely: "Yuan Qianmu, if you believe your nonsense again, I will be a fool!"
It's okay, it's fine, don't worry - this is what Yuan Qianmu said "it's okay"? !
There are only five steps from the door to the wooden bed.
The black-haired man took firm steps, even though every time he took a step, the strange feeling in his heart that made him feel more at a loss, he never wavered.
The total time was only a few seconds, but during these few seconds, the eyes that locked him didn't seem to blink.
The friend's pupils are a bit like the shape of a feline shrinking into a line when it is frightened, but when you stare at it again, it is closer to the vertical pupils of the snake.
——He "watched" himself walking into his lair, neither welcomed nor resisted, only his straight line of sight finally began to slide.
Zhu Fu Jingguang only caught a few spots where his friend's eyes fell on him.
Landing on the side of the temple, he thought he had become a shattered corpse.
It landed on the vital part of the throat, this time it turned into a corpse with a broken neck.
It landed on his chest facing his heart, and he felt inexplicably shot in the heart, and after falling to the ground, he became a corpse again...
What kind of weird illusions are these?
If it is said that the friend who is obviously wrong is using his eyes to weave the way of death for him, then it is not consistent with other discoveries.
From the beginning to the end, there is no fatal killing intent in the friend's eyes, he does not intend to kill the intruder, but the ignorant intruder still perceives the danger of being drowned——then where does the [danger] come from? ?
It will take a while for Zhu Fu Jingguang to figure it out, after all, he is not as keen as Hagiwara Kenji, and he can't think of the truth for a while.
but it does not matter.
He withstood the erosion of indescribable penetration, and finally walked to his friend's side.
The red-haired man's hanging arm trembled slightly, Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't care whether he wanted to raise his hand to push himself or grab himself, just do it first.
"Qianmu."
He tightly wrapped his friend's palms in the middle with both hands, and passed the strength forcefully: "Don't worry, I'll come..."
There was a sudden burst of speech.
The reason is that Zhu Fu Jingguang realized that he looked like an idiot, and the person he wanted to encourage gently was even more idiot than him.
"?"
"Yuanqianmu you???"
This was the first time that a gentle, considerate and responsible man wanted to yell.
What time is it now?Mid-November!It will snow heavily in Nagano in one month!
It would be nice for a broken house in the forest to keep out the wind and not leak. If you want to keep warm, it is better to dream. How dare Yuan Qianmu wear only a single shirt and lie on a wooden board without a mattress?
The bastard pressed his only windbreaker that could be used as a quilt under his body, and the windbreaker did not see any messy folds, perhaps because he had maintained this quiet posture since he "fallen asleep".
Really fastidious, really good!
Zhu Fu Jingguang almost fainted from anger.
Forcibly rescuing himself from the brink of myocardial infarction, Zhu Fu Jingguang took another look, okay, great! There are still a series of "surprises"!
Yuan Qianmu must have been lying here for more than two days, and he paid him too much!
What was even more frightening was that every corner of the house was lifeless, and no trace of fire or cooking could be found even with the searchlights on, and it was so clean that there were not even food packaging bags.
... This bastard hasn't eaten a mouthful of food or drank a mouthful of water for three days? !
Zhu Fu Jingguang wanted to yell for the second time, but this time he couldn't stand it personally, and immediately yelled: "I have collected the pension for you, why do you still want me to collect your body again?! "
The good-tempered police officer Zhu Fu's eyes turned black and stars appeared, and his hands that turned into grasping hands trembled.
He instantly forgot the extremely [dangerous] truth of the person in front of him to the country of Java, regardless of whether it was a ferocious beast that wanted to eat people or a monster that wanted to kill, he couldn't get over this matter with Yuan Qianmu.
If it weren't for the precarious sanity still there, Zhu Fu Jingguang would have liked to throw the red-haired man into the water immediately—ah, cold water won't work, let's hot water—to wake him up: "You claim to be ready without worrying? Your hint Do you dare to write clearly? After running so far, do you remember to bring a lock, do you remember to bring a bed, mittens, scarves, stove and food? Okay, Yuan Qianmu, if I can’t find you..."
"You don't plan to live anymore, do you? Your poor contact will go on the road with you without saying a word! Let's go together!"
"........."
The man who was so angry that he couldn't choose what to say was really lucky, the danger brushed past him at a very close distance, but retreated away without a sound.
If Qianmu can hear this nagging that has turned into a severe version, he will definitely reply with a smile, thank you for your concern, but my physical fitness is much better than that of you, police officer, it is really nothing if I don’t eat or drink for three days , By the way-I can't think of torturing myself like this, not because I'm not afraid of 1, just in case, worrying that you will encounter that [-]% bad luck, and you will have to send it to your door to seek death.
Qian Mu was really afraid of these people.
Passively slackening his work to save his role and life, when it comes time to throw himself into a trap and seek death, he performs at a super level, stepping on the thunder point of a control freak and dances wildly. If one day his nerves suddenly break down, he will be forced by them .
At present, he can still hold on, isolate himself outside and calm down, and he can go back and continue to smile at them.
And he is very thoughtful, even if the possibility is only 1%, he still has to take some protective measures, lest Zhu Fu Jingguang miraculously enlightened, like Kenji Hagiwara and the others, rushing over regardless, only to be caught by himself whose consciousness is blocked die.
Consciousness is trapped, and the empty body is only left with instincts eroded by negative emotions. Even Qianmu himself is not sure what he will do to the intruder, but it is certain that it will not be a good thing.
Therefore, the protective measures are simple: let him just be quiet and do nothing.
After finishing the preparations, the dark and cold tide finally submerged Qian Mu's soul and dragged him into the whirlpool. What happened to the body that fell on the sea surface is temporarily unknown.
sinking into the deep, lifeless sea.
It seems that I have lost something that I don't want to forget.
It seems that there are some people who don't want to revisit.
The red-haired man seemed to be walking silently on the bottom of the sea. Although he couldn't see it, he knew that the "corpses" piled up at his feet were the "corpses" he imagined.
As long as the script does not end and the irritating and uncertain factors continue to cease, the deep seabed where he falls will never be illuminated. These dead bodies with various methods of death will always be next to him, stubbornly refusing to leave.
Only when he stopped and reached out to touch, the "corpses" would turn into bubbles and collapse, but they couldn't be caught or touched.
'...'
'It's really hard. '
The warmth is taken away, and the time that can only be soaked in the cold sea water seems to last for a long time.
Obviously I felt better last time, but this time it's because... Is it difficult to change from extravagance to frugality?
In the past, I was forced to throw away some and I could barely accept it, but after I came back, my greed doubled.
People and memories are all his [things], and he is not even willing to lose even a little bit of it now...
All right, come here, what else can I do.
He can only endure.
Bear with me a little longer and get through this annoying winter alone.
Knowing that he couldn't touch anything, he still stretched out his hand to the darkness ahead, as if wanting to restore the passing temperature...
'...? '
temperature.
In the hand, I really feel the temperature.
An invisible "corpse" grabbed him suddenly, and was trying to warm up his cold plaster palms, but because the temperature didn't rise after rubbing for a long time, in a hurry, he simply stuffed his hands under his clothes , Use the body's own body temperature to heat up.
— THUMB, THUMB, THUMB.
Under the hand, a fiery hot heart was beating rapidly, and the sound it made was so strong and powerful.
It turned out that it wasn't a "corpse".
He is... a person who is still alive and tenacious.
……
"hiss!"
Zhu Fu Jingguang gasped from the cold.
Stuffing his friend's paws, which were as cold as the corpse's, into his clothes to keep warm, was his impromptu response. He had already thought of a way to raise the fire, but it didn't heat up for a long time, so he could only find a way to forcefully speed up.
However, there is another reason for choosing this method that is not easy to explain.
"...Let me tell you, don't stare at me with dead eyes."
"My heart is still beating, can you feel it?"
The man whispered, pressing his friend's hand on his trembling chest: "Yuan Qianmu, I'm still alive."
The friend still didn't respond, and there was heavy frost and snow between the peaceful brows.
But when Zhu Fu Jingguang looked down again, he didn't know when he lowered his eyelids, which he refused to close.
Although very inconspicuous.
But at this time, he showed, probably, a somewhat "relieved" expression.
"..."
"Sleep peacefully, Qianmu. I'm here."
