Chapter 136 Spend the night

Shen Ti has been pretending to be a human who can empathize with them.

Laughing and cursing, he learned everything very well, but only he knew that, except for An Wu Jiu, he couldn't understand or empathize with anyone else's emotions. He was just relying on his experience to make a fairly normal reaction.

But at this moment, facing Wu You, who had become a pollutant and still didn't know that Nan Shan was dead, Shen Ti felt it.

Wu You himself didn't even feel the pain, because he didn't know it yet, but Shen Ti felt it.

"He..." Shen Ti clenched the spell in his hand, "He's going to help Wu Gui."

This is the hardest lie Shen Ti has told since he became a human.

He saw Wu You supporting his body with his long tentacles, probably trying to get out of the car, Shen Ti took the initiative to help Nan Shan up and keep him away from Wu You as much as possible.

[But I feel like he's by my side. ]

Wu You's voice came from Shen Ti's mind.

"He is indeed nearby." Shen Ti's tone was convincing, even though he still hadn't figured it out yet, leaving Wu You behind, what should he do next.

Whether Wu You, who has been polluted, will suddenly cut off contact with him, or whether he will go crazy and attack others, he has no way of judging.

Shen Ti only knew that if An Wu Jiu was here, he would definitely not want to kill Wu You.

"I want to tell you something first." Shen Ti closed the door on Nanshan's side and walked around the front of the car to the other side. The pollutants that were intended to be surrounded by Shen Ti's movement also retreated. They didn't seem to intend to leave, nor dared to approach easily. An animal instinct from the same kind made them stop here and observe Shen Ti's every move.

Shen Ti opened the door on Wu You's side and tried to let him out. He honestly told Wu You, "You have been contaminated, so you can't see."

[how is this possible……]

Wu You couldn't accept this, he tried to recall what happened before the coma, but his mind was blank.

[But I can still talk to you. ]

"So you are different from them." Shen Ti unfastened the seat belt that trapped him, "so you also remember this."

Wu You suddenly understood something. Having lost his vision, the sensitivity of his other senses has greatly increased, and the sound of Shen Ti, the breathing and gasping of the pollutants around him, everything is extremely clear.

He tried to reach out and touch his face, but at this time he found that it was not human hands that reached out and touched his cheeks, but many smooth tentacles.

Shen Ti looked at him and knew that he was obviously frightened by him.

"Don't think about this, you will change back, it's only temporary."

Shen Ti used another lie to temporarily appease Wu You.

Not far away, he saw An Wu Jiu who had killed him, his face was covered in blood, and the bamboo leaf green in his hand was covered with the monster's slime.

At the same time, he also saw An Wu Jiu's stunned expression after discovering Wu You.

Shen Ti withdrew the gun, the last bullet was useless after all. There was a wind in the lonely wilderness, and the dust was blowing in his face. He saw that the pollutants left here in unison. When he looked around, he could no longer see the masked man. It seemed that he was under the cover of these chess pieces. left.

"Wu You..."

Shen Ti saw An Wu Jiu's frown after discovering Nan Shan, the lingering sadness and remorse in his eyes, as if everything in front of him was his fault and caused by him.

Zhong Yirou didn't recognize Wu You at first, she only saw a tall "monster" standing beside Shen Ti. Those tentacles made her scalp numb, so she didn't notice the monster's head at all. When she calmed down, she looked over carefully. , only to find out it was Wu You.

She couldn't understand. She didn't understand what happened that night, and she couldn't accept it.

"Wu You's sanity has been cleared? Is that right?"

Shen Ti nodded.

"That Nanshan..."

Shen Ti shook his head at her, and his eyes signaled her not to say anything.

An Wu Jiu lowered his eyes, his eyes were dry.

He didn't understand why things had turned out like this, could it be that his decision this time was also wrong.

So what exactly is correct?

[Brother Wu blame? ]

Hearing Wu You's voice suddenly, An Wu Jiu raised his head in surprise, looked over in disbelief, and walked towards the contaminated Wu You in front of him.

"Wu You? Can you hear my voice?"

[audible. ]

Wu You stretched out his long tentacles and touched An Wu Jiu's shoulder.

[Brother Wu Jiu, where did Nan Shan go? I can not find him. What about Miss Rou? And Miss Erci...]

“Yirou is by our side.” An Wu Jiu saw Shen Ti’s eyes and understood what he meant, “Nan Shan and Er Ci, they have split up.”

[Why separate? What are they going to do? ]

Wu You didn't believe it at first, but suddenly, he thought of his current appearance, and was afraid of being seen by Nanshan.

He is already a monster, Nanshan is a Taoist priest, isn't his duty to get rid of monsters like him?

[Then he... when will he turn with us? ]

"Tomorrow," An Wujiu held one of his tentacles, "tomorrow at noon."

At this time, Zhong Yirou found out that An Wujiu seemed to be talking to Wu You who had become a pollutant, and she could only hear what An Wujiu said. Judging from the reaction, Wu You seemed to be able to communicate with him.

This place has been discovered by masked people and cannot be regarded as a safe area. Although they don’t know why the masked people escaped, they still plan to get in the car and leave first, but they don’t know the destination for the time being. They can only stay away from the city and go to a remote place. Walk.

Shen Ti sat in the driver's seat, looking at An Wugui through the rearview mirror while driving.

An Wujiu's arm was injured, blood was dripping down, his face was not good. Zhong Yirou carried the gun on her back, buried her head and shook her hands and opened the medical box she brought from home.

"I'll give you an injection to relieve pain first." Zhong Yirou picked up an ampoule and was about to break it when she heard An Wujiu say no.

"Don't waste it." An Wujiu told her, "Just help me sew it up, I'm not afraid of pain."

Shen Ti's hand on the steering wheel clenched even tighter.

Zhong Yirou had to agree, put back the analgesic, disinfected and sutured him.

"sorry."

In the quiet compartment, An Wu Jiu spoke in a low voice.

"Why are you apologizing?" Zhong Yirou checked the wound, Yang Erci's face lingered in front of her, but she comforted An Wujiu, "It's not your fault."

Shen Ti could vaguely feel something, An Wujiu might be different from them, starting from the vending machine, An Wujiu's eyes showed a different kind of emotion, like a pessimistic prophet.

An Wu Jiu looked out the window and struggled in his heart, but decided to tell them about his reincarnation.

He sorted out his emotions and told everything he had experienced from the beginning.

After hearing this, Zhong Yirou frowned, "That is to say, you were killed by a monster that suddenly appeared because of the expiration of the time in the last round, but you didn't die, but returned to before. Why is it only you who have this ability?"

An Wu Jiu shook his head, "I don't know."

[Then... can this ability still be used? ]

Wu You asked, what An Wujiu said ignited a glimmer of hope in his dead heart.

He really didn't want to be a monster.

"I'm not sure." An Wujiu told them truthfully, "But I still have a Time Back Card, which may be my last hole card."

He had already thought about it, even if he drained his life to the last point, he would use up this card. He couldn't let Nan Shan and Yang Erci just disappear like this.

They passed a gas station, Shen Ti drove very fast, but he still saw with his own eyes that the staff who turned into pollutants devoured other humans, his arms merged with the gas pipe, and slammed into the human's chest.

“Let’s not talk about this card for now.” Shen Ti directly skipped what An Wujiu said, and cut off his risky thoughts, “I felt something was wrong before, what you said, I feel that I There are also some memories, such as your arm being corroded, and Wu You, whose throat was cut, including that factory, I have an impression."

He wondered if other people felt the same way, so maybe they all had backtracking, but An Wu Jiao had the clearest memory.

But the result of the discussion was that neither Wu You nor Zhong Yirou had any memory of the "last time", not at all.

"That's weird." Zhong Yirou thought for a while and told them, "It's not just about this, after Wu You was contaminated, I couldn't hear his voice at all, but it seems that you and Wu Jiu can still communicate with him. I Guess Wu You can't hear my voice either."

After verification, they found that this was indeed the case.

These phenomena undoubtedly point to the fact that An Wu Jiu and Shen Ti are special.

They have abilities that are different from others, and in terms of performance, An Wujiu is slightly stronger, he backtracked the whole person, while Shen Ti only kept a part of his memory.

This point is not logically reasonable, An Wu Jiu knows exactly who Shen Ti is, and his abilities must be higher than his own.

"There seems to be a farm in front." Shen Ti said to the crowd, "Would you like to stop there and take a rest."

The lights on the farm were off, it was dark, and it seemed very silent. Shen Ti parked the car on the side of the road, "I'll go down and have a look first."

The door was closed, An Wu Jiu sat in the car, holding the handle of the knife.

Shen Ti left for about ten minutes, and when he came back, he had a new pair in his hand.

"There's no one inside, get out of the car and come to the house first."

They only got off the bus together. Wu You managed to squeeze herself into the co-pilot, and it is very inconvenient to get out now. He felt like a squid in a can, with no room to breathe.

With the flashlight, Shen Ti walked at the front, An Wu Jiu was at the back, they entered the house and found a room where they could escape easily.

"Do you still have enough time?" Shen Ti said to Zhong Yirou.

"I can survive tonight." Zhong Yirou gave him a look, and the inside of her wrist indicated that there were 8 hours left, "It was Wu blame taking me to kill a lot of pollutants with a gun, and that's how much time was accumulated."

But also because the battle had to face those monsters, Zhong Yirou's sanity was only half left, she had slight dizziness and hallucinations, but didn't tell them.

An Wu Jiu glanced at his wrist, there are twelve hours left.

[I probably don't need time anymore. ]

"Well." Shen Ti also smiled, "You are like a bug now. Although there are still people's consciousness, there is no time limit, and there is no need to worry about the reduction of Sanity."

"I still have 4 hours." Shen Ti said.

His time was clearly not enough.

"Then what should we do?" Zhong Yirou said to him, "Otherwise, we will only rest for two hours and then go back to the city."

"No need." Shen Ti stood up, checked the bullets in the sniper rifle's chamber, and put the sniper rifle on his back, "There's not much oil in the car, we passed a gas station when we just arrived, no matter what. , I always make a trip to the city, killing some pollutants on the road to make up for the time."

An Wu Jiu also stood up and grabbed Shen Ti's wrist, "I'll go."

Shen Ti turned around, raised his hand and touched his face, "You stay to protect them, I'll be back soon."

His voice was gentle, with a little warm smile, "You are waiting for me here, okay?"

An Wu Jiu can only compromise, for everyone's survival, he cannot be selfish.

"it is good."

He stood by the window, watching Shen Ti leave the farm alone, drive the broken truck away from here, and head towards the road he came from.

Wu You's body became much larger than before, and he could only rest against the wall. He was under a lot of load and was very tired, so he fell asleep just leaning on it.

An Wujiu let Zhong Yirou sleep on the bed and leaned against Wu You. He found a green light insecticidal lamp that farmers used to disperse pests in the room, so he turned off the flashlight and put the lamp in front of him as the only light source.

He said he was going to sleep, but he didn't intend to close his eyes at all.

It all happened so fast, not without life and death at the altar, but not once in reality, not once in a way that left him confused and out of control.

Losing control means that behind it all lies a terrifying unknown.

Those were perhaps things he couldn't comprehend as a normal human being.

Born as human beings, they accept the chicken soup for the soul that man will conquer the sky, believe that they are the spirits of all things that are above everything, that they know the working laws of the world, that they are familiar with the natural logic summarized by their predecessors, and that everything on earth has laws. , as Nanshan said, this is destiny.

His father, mother, all living beings, probably are like this.

An Wujiu thought that maybe they were the turkey thinking in Russell's mouth, because they saw that the farmer who raised them came to feed them at nine o'clock every morning, no matter the weather, no matter what happened, this event would come, so the turkeys concluded Make a "rule" - someone will feed them at nine o'clock every day.

They believe that this law will work normally and will continue in the future.

But in the eyes of the farmer, it is only a temporary feeding. One day, these turkeys who think they have known regularity will be caught, their heads will be cut off, and they will become a delicacy on the table.

That day was the day when the logical beliefs of the turkeys collapsed.

What could be more terrifying than breaking everything a man knows?

For example, fish should live in the sky, seabirds are native creatures, 1 plus 1 does not equal 2, human beings feed on soil and live in the earth's crust. Killed by creatures from another world, made into special food for festivals, and all the impossible and counterintuitive facts.

What if these were the real world?

It was probably not the true face of God that caused his father to collapse back then, but the moment when the tower of science that he believed in completely collapsed.

They have the courage and ability to explore the unknown, but they accidentally touched a world that should have been forbidden, and witnessed the absolute gap between humans and unknown gods in all directions, so they fell into madness.

No, the turkey analogy is even overkill.

They may just exist on a plane, a line that cannot cross the dimension to look at the "God".

What about the rules.

An Wu Jiu stared at the light in front of him, easily accepting that he was just a speck of dust in the vast unknown.

He grew up in a small experimental prison, the product of scientific intervention, and even his breathing was measured. He is not a normal human being, and he doesn't believe in anything.

So An Wu Jiu is not afraid of anything.

Only Shen Ti.

He is the only certain unknown in An Wu Jiu's tiny life.

is his God.

Zhong Yirou woke up in the middle of the night, she seemed to have a nightmare. An Wu Jiu looked up in concern and saw that she sat up from the bed and covered her face.

An Wu Jiu held the lamp and brought her a small glass of water found in the house.

"Are you all right?"

Zhong Yirou raised her head, her face full of tears.

"Can you really go back in time?"

An Wu Jiu was stung by her words for a moment.

Zhong Yirou wiped her tears and said with a smile, "If there is another time, can you help me tell her that I... I actually like her very much."

Her hands were clenched tightly around the cup, her fingertips turning white.

"I haven't had time to say..."

Zhong Yirou closed her eyes, and all she saw was Yang Erci's blood-stained face, a picture of her body becoming cold and stiff in his arms.

Even if she exhausted what she had learned in her life, she could not get her heartbeat back.

An Wu Jiu suddenly thought of Yang Erci standing on the rooftop, he knew the news of his father's death, he had to rely on smoking to relieve it, but he still remembered that Zhong Yirou hated the smell of smoke.

"How can I help with this kind of thing." He sat beside the bed and said to Zhong Yirou softly, "If there is a next time, you have to say it yourself."

Zhong Yirou raised her eyes to look at him, "But... if there is a next time, I don't remember it."

I will remind you. An Wujiu gave her a smile, “I will supervise you, you have to confess to her yourself. "

Saying that, he stretched out his hand and made a pull hook gesture.

"An Wujiu, I'm not a little girl." Zhong Yirou sniffed, pushed An Wujiu's hand away, and smiled.

An Wu Jiu also smiled, "The eldest sister, rest for a while."

"Go to sleep too, don't watch the night." Zhong Yirou pointed to his arm, "If you don't sleep, you won't recover well."

An Wu Jiu nodded and returned to the position just now.

Even if Zhong Yirou said this, if Shen Ti didn't come back, An Wu Jiu couldn't fall asleep.

He stared at the green light in front of him. After a long time, his eyes became a little blurry, so he had to close his eyes temporarily.

Some sights shook before his eyes.

Suddenly, some hallucinations emerged from his mind and appeared in front of An Wujiu. He seemed to have changed back to a child, very small, lying in a white room with the long beep of the heart rate monitor stopping in his ears.

Long beep.

The cries were isolated from the wall, as if there was nothing, as if it were a mother.

Soon, a clear voice appeared in An Wujiu's ear.

[No blame. ]

An Wu Jiu wanted to open his eyes and wanted to break free, but he couldn't.

Those hallucinations froze and became incoherent fragments, and even the sound in the hallucinations was broken.

He could only hear fragmented fragments.

[Of course...we will definitely...]

The voice was interrupted, when it disappeared, An Wu Jiu was sure that it was Shen Ti's voice.

He opened his eyes, and a voice came from outside the door in front of him.

An Wu Jiu woke up instantly, raised the gun in his hand at the fastest speed, and lowered his head to aim.

The next second who pushed the door and entered was Shen Ti, who was covered in blood.
