Ji Duan's voice did not wake up Xie Jin, who was in a chaotic state. He let the young man shake his body without making any resistance, and his face was full of tears.

"Hey, what's the matter with this man?" Ji Duan gritted his teeth and shouted at the anxious black cat, "think of a way, what's wrong with him!"

"啾!" The black cat jumped on Xie Jin's shoulder, and it stretched out its long purple tongue to lick the man's eyelids. In less than five seconds, Xie Jin suddenly lost consciousness, his body softened, and he fell straight into Ji Duan's arms.

"……what happened to him?"

Fortunately, was able to touch him, otherwise the fall would definitely hurt the man seriously.

Ji Duan picked up the unconscious Xie Jinheng, an adult man was lying in his arms, the weight was ridiculously light.

He stuffed Xie Jin into the musty quilt in the hotel, and then carried the black cat who was standing by the bedside watching the scene: "What did you do to him just now?"

"Chirp!"

The black cat struggled between his fingers, its small body fell to the ground, and there was a bit of contempt in the eyes that stared at Ji Duan.

"Tweet? Okay, I really don't understand how Xie Jin communicated with you." Ji Duan shrugged, feeling unbelievable, "How could I waste my words on a gadget like you that can't speak? ."

As he spoke, he glanced at the black "thing", and always felt that there was some kind of emotion called anger on the black cat's face.

Ji Duan thought it was funny, and stretched out his hand to tease him again. Sure enough, he was bitten again. He shook the bitten hand and raised it over his shoulder: "Stop, let's discuss something now."

The black cat stopped attacking and looked up at him.

"Your master has passed out for unknown reasons. First of all, you and I have to draw a line. It hurts to bite your teeth. Do you agree?" Ji Duan looked down at the black cat, one person and one cat looked at each other for a long time, but the black cat actually He nodded understandingly.

"Secondly, when I said that I wanted to stay by his side, there was nothing more than a place to stay. You don't have to worry about me robbing him from you. This kind of thing can't happen." Ji Duan reached out his hand to touch the black cat's head, and he finally felt the fierceness towards this fierce The little guy smiled, "I will leave after I find my memory, you don't have to worry about that."

Xie Jin had a long dream.

In the dream, there are former members of the Spirit Explorer, as well as the dangerous places they have visited in those years; there is a father who does not care about his own life or death, and there is a landlord who cannot receive the rent and has no choice but to extend the payment date.

These people and events in the past flashed before his eyes one by one like a revolving lantern, and finally Xie Jin saw himself.

The once high-spirited self did not have the shadow of disappointment in life on his face, but wore a hearty smile, standing in the team and bathing in the sun like everyone else.

The dullness in his chest seemed to be about to suffocate, Xie Jin felt his feet sink, his body fell weightlessly uncontrollably, the dark ocean enveloped him, and he felt that he could not breathe.

Help, who will help me...

Xie Jin desperately stretched out his hand, hoping that someone could pull him in this dark seabed, even if it was just one.

But who can come? Nobody is there anymore.

The oppression of the darkness around him surged into his heart. He looked above his head in despair, and let his body fall indefinitely as if resigned to his fate. The feeling of dying alone was amazing. It was so painful that his fingertips were numb, but he had to do this. Do.

Sometimes loneliness is far scarier than death.

"Thanks……"

A vague voice sounded, the voice seemed to be blocked by a solid membrane, Xie Jin closed his eyes and listened for a while, and found that the voice was calling his name.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and the voice became clear in an instant: "Xie Jin, hey Xie Jin! Wake up!"

The voice turned into a pale golden light, coiling around Xie Jin's wrist, and a great strength pulled him upward at this moment.

"Ah!" He opened his eyes suddenly, the lingering fear of just getting rid of the nightmare still filled his heart, and he took a deep breath, like a fish that was almost drowning.

Xie Jin peeled off the shattered hair in front of his forehead, only then did he notice the young man lying in front of the bed looking at him.

"You finally woke up." Ji Duan got up and poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, "I slept so deeply, but I couldn't wake you up just now."

"...Thank you, I'm fine."

Xie Jin lowered his head and stared dully at the water glass in his hand. It turned out that the voice just now was Ji Duan, that is to say, this young man dragged him out of the endless abyss.

"I was a little rude just now, and it made you laugh." Thinking of Cai Cai's out of control emotions, Xie Jin was so ashamed that he wanted to find a place to burrow in and cry with a person he had just met. It was really embarrassing.

But looking at Ji Duan's performance, it seemed that he didn't want to ask at all, and he didn't know if this was a fortune among misfortunes.

"Well, I also brought you out of the abandoned paradise, can you..."

Can you stop following me? I really can't communicate with other people normally. Xie Jin was choked in his throat. He looked at the young man sitting across from him who saved his life, and couldn't say it.

Ji Duan heard the clue in his words, pulled out the chair beside the bed and sat down: "Uncle Xie, are you trying to drive me away? Anyway, I was bitten by your 'cat' several times. Aren't you going to take responsibility for me?"

He pointed his hand in the direction of the chandelier, Xie Jin looked at his posture, and sure enough, Ji Duan's body was more transparent than before, and he didn't know if it was because he was bitten several times.

"I accidentally saw the ticket back to Tan Jiang in your backpack just now. Do you really plan to leave me without external memory in this place where I don't shit, so that I will never be born again?"

There was a trace of grievance on Ji Duan's slightly transparent face. Seeing that Xie Jin's expression was a little moved, he immediately continued to chase after the victory, "I'll follow you until the injury is healed, I'll support you very well."

"I..." Xie Jin pursed his lips, thinking that the other party was indeed his savior, and he couldn't leave Ji Duan here to fend for himself no matter how bad he was.

Can it really work? In the past two years, he had hardly had any contact with the outside world, and he didn't even dare to look at passers-by when he went out. Facing Ji Duan like this, although the other party was no longer alive, could he really do it?

The small single room fell into a brief silence, and Xie Jin sat there with his head down, like a statue in meditation.

Ji Duan was not in a hurry, he sat on the chair with his chin propped up, quietly waiting for the man's answer.

I don't know how long it took, Xie Jin finally moved. He raised the glass of cold water, took a sip to his lips, and said, "Okay, I'll take you out of here."

According to the original plan, Xie Jin went to the hotel's shabby front desk to check out at noon the next day. The kind boss saw that he was shy and drove him to the electric tricycle with the cloak. Airport.

It's just that on the way back this time, there was another Ji Duan who was invisible to the naked eye.

After tossing back and forth for four hours, Xie Jin endured the backache and got off the airport bus. He took off his mask and hat, and said to Ji Duan, who was looking at the old building in front of him, "Come up."

Xie Jin's rental house is on the second floor of a bottom-floor business in the old city. You need to enter a gloomy and deep corridor, and then climb the rusty iron ladder inside to reach the second floor.

"Is this house a few years old, and I don't think anyone lives nearby?" Ji Duan looked at the faded sign downstairs, barely making out that it used to be a barber shop with the words Meimei Haircut printed on it.

"It's a decades-old house, the location is remote and there is no demolition plan, so the rent will be relatively cheaper."

Xie Jin explained softly, he took out the key from his pocket, and a small flashlight hung beside the flimsy key, "There are no lights in the corridor, be careful when going up the stairs."

He turned on the flashlight, avoided the many sundries stacked on the ground, and walked toward the deep corridor first.

Ji Duan was stunned when he heard these words. He stared blankly at Xie Jin's back, and suddenly felt that this man was not ordinary.

Do people usually worry about ghosts, or ghosts who escaped from such a terrifying abandoned paradise? It's hard to say whether he is naive or stupid.

Xie Jin's rental house was as dilapidated as he expected, and the only thing that looked the most valuable in the cluttered cabin was the computer on the desktop.

"Uncle Xie, do you live here?" Ji Duan took out the black briquettes from out of nowhere, held it in his hand and played with it, and then he was bitten hard as he deserved, "It seems that life is a little bit different. It's hard."

"I made you laugh." Xie Jin said with a good temper, reaching out to the old curtain that had not been opened for a long time. His house has no windows for ventilation all year round, and there is always an indescribable damp and musty smell.

In fact, the location of Xie Jin's rental house is very good. As soon as the curtains are opened, the window facing the sun will be covered in sunlight. Even if it can't bring anything else to this cottage, it can at least bring some warmth.

"Really, how on earth do you take care of yourself, why don't you tidy up the house?" Ji Duan bent down, picked up a few musty clothes from the messy floor, and looked carefully at the pair of underwear.

"Ah! That's mine..." Xie Jin rushed over with a blushing face and snatched the private piece of loin cloth from the young man, "Go sit over there, I'll clean up the house."

He pointed to Ji Duan's only bed that looked fairly clean. The plaid quilt was stacked on top of the pillow, and it looked very soft when the sunlight penetrated so loudly.

"Okay, then I'm welcome." Ji Duan took off his shoes and consciously occupied the not-so-big bed. He lay there on his side and watched Xie Jin come to the house to collect and clean up.

He has so many things he wants to ask, but since the man is willing to bring him back, there is no need to rush to ask.

You can take your time.

Ji Duan supported his chin with his palm, thinking to himself.

Ji Duan: got wish and went home with me
