Chapter 42: Dream Past Life 42
Luo Ye couldn't remember how he got through the beginning of his supernatural awakening.
That day and night was the longest day in his twenty-year life.
On the one hand, the flames burned his body, and on the other hand, the ice was biting to the bone. When he woke up again, he was numb to the point where he could not perceive the temperature.
Because he couldn't control his own abilities, he often hurt others after losing control. In the first days, he locked himself in the room. Wei Hao and the three were afraid of his accident and sat outside the room with him day and night.
Later, the senior Liu Min, who was in the same school as them, also awakened the ability, and the ability was swallowing. Wei Hao and the others brought the senior to help him temporarily stabilize the ability, and he gradually learned to control it.
For Liu Min, he is grateful.
The people from the Drum Tower Rescue Team found them trapped in Yicheng. The commander was a female captain who had been critical of Luo Yeduo from the very beginning.
Because of this, the two did not like each other, and it was Liu Min who came to him personally to do ideological work and persuaded him.
On the way to evacuate, because of Li Tong's wrong command, all of them were surrounded by mutants and suffered heavy casualties.
After they arrived at the Drum Tower in Pengcheng, Luo Ye was favored by the head of the Drum Tower because of his outstanding performance during the evacuation, and he was directly promoted to the squadron commander of the first district combat team and served as the executive officer.
However, he was promoted too fast, and because of his ignorant temperament, he offended many people, and offended all the officers and executive officers of the first district. In the end, there were many people who complained about him, and even General Li treated him. Nothing can be done.
It was Liu Min, who was in the same district, who helped him make apologies everywhere, so it didn't make things worse. After the mission was over, several times when his powers got out of control, it was Liu Min who helped him through it.
Back then, they were close friends.
Later, the variant became stronger, and the base was at stake. Luo Ye was ordered to lead the team to carry out the task of clearing and suppressing.
As he used his powers frequently and excessively, the powers became more and more unstable, often requiring Liu Min's help to be barely controlled.
Later, more and more people lost control of their supernatural powers because of overload. Liu Min became the only person who could rectify the out-of-control supernatural powers.
Luo Ye knew that he had a heavy responsibility. In order not to add a heavy burden to him, sometimes the ability would get out of control and he would bet on it by himself.
Participating in battles frequently, each time they exhausted their abilities. Among those with abilities, maddeners appeared. The madness caused by overloading turned into irrational monsters. They were violent and ruthless. Teammates are killed.
There are hardly any Berserkers appearing in the base every day, which makes the base a mess. Many people are slandered by the Berserkers. The soldiers who once protected the base, and the teammates who fought side by side, do not know when they will backstab themselves, and the people in the base are panicking. , the headquarters had to order the surveillance and control of all those whose abilities were out of control. Once they became mad, they would be shot on the spot.
As the strongest and most dangerous element of the base, Luo Ye was also being watched.
He doesn't feel much about this decision made by the headquarters. If he turns into such an irrational monster someday, in order not to hurt the people around him, he will hope that someone can kill him instead of waking up. , found his hands covered in blood, while his friends and companions lay in a pool of blood, all dead at his hands.
He began to reduce the number of times he used his abilities, and regularly went to Liu Min's place to "pacify", and the abilities really stabilized a lot.
But suddenly one day, a particularly powerful madman appeared in the base. He had hurt dozens of innocent people, but no matter how the Ministry of Public Security searched, they could not find any trace of the madman.
Until the technical department conducted an autopsy on the corpses and found that the fatal injuries on their bodies were caused by fire-type abilities, and Liu Min was very familiar with the abilities of the out-of-control people who had been "pacified" by him, and finally found out that the fatal injuries were The powers of Luo Ye are of the same origin.
Luo Ye was locked up. That night, he went crazy again, seriously injured the guards, and escaped. Li Yan, who had seen him hurt people before the surveillance, finally ordered to kill Luo Ye at all costs.
On that day, the power users in the entire first district were dispatched, and the fire light illuminated the entire city. Thousands of power users aimed their weapons at the former No. 1 powerhouse.
However, despite this, the entire city was unable to take him down, and finally Liu Min stood up.
His ability can temporarily stun Luo Ye, who is in madness.
Liu Min told General Li that he would take Luo Ye away from the base and would never come back, seeing that Luo Ye had spared his life for the base's sake.
In the end, General Li agreed to his request and agreed to take Luo Ye away.
They left the Drum Tower and went to a lonely city with no one.
After Luo Ye woke up, he was told what he had done, Liu Min comforted him, this is not something he can control, and he should not be blamed. The reason why he became like this is to protect everyone.
Liu Min promised Luo Ye that he would continue to help him with treatment. If he hurts people again, he will definitely stop him, end his life if necessary, and don't let him hurt anyone again.
During the treatment, he was often in a semi-conscious state, and he didn't even know what day and night it was. One day, he heard Wei Hao and the others' voices in a trance, but he couldn't wake up.
He heard their quarrel with Liu Min, as well as their screams, and felt something sprayed on his face, with a strong smell of blood, he thought, if he could sense the temperature, it should be boiling hot.
He never thought that the person he trusted would one day betray him, push him into the abyss, the best brother would rise because of him, and the lonely city would never have a future.
After his brothers and companions fell one by one while he couldn't wake up, he finally broke through the restraint on his body and woke up under Liu Min's surprised eyes.
Liu Min didn't expect him to wake up at this time, just like he didn't expect Wei Hao and the others to follow Luo Ye here despite the danger, and found out what he had done to Luo Ye, forcing him to kill them.
Luo Ye opened his eyes and saw them lying in a pool of blood covered in blood.
That young man who was always energetic and active, his throat was cut, and blood was still bleeding from the outside. Seeing him recovering, he moved his lips with the last strength and said:
Luo Ge, run!
The boy closed his eyes forever, no one rushed into his room recklessly, no one would be chased by Zhou's mother with a feather duster every morning to run around the yard, and no one would rush into his room every morning. Brother called him.
Wei Hao, Hou Jun, Zhong Wenjie, Cui Yu, Zhou Ma, they did not believe that he would be a madman who killed so many people, and followed him, but was brutally killed by Liu Min.
They are just a group of ordinary people without powers, whether they are his brothers, partners, or family members.
With red eyes, he questioned Liu Min why.
Liu Min spread out his hands and said indifferently, "Because they saw something they shouldn't see."
They came by coincidence and happened to see Liu Min attacking other power users. Most of those power users were people who disappeared after becoming mad in the Drum Tower.
From the moment the ability got out of control, everything that happened later was just a game arranged by Liu Min.
In order to devour other people's powers for his own use, he gradually created the current situation.
At first, his abilities could only be used to appease those who were out of control. In this apocalypse where the strong are respected, his abilities were almost useless and could not bring him any help, in order to survive decently at the base , he has both sides, flattering and flattering, and he has lived into the kind of person he once hated the most.
He envied Luo Ye's powerful abilities, and envied that even if he didn't understand the world, he was not slick and unrestrained, and he could still enjoy the splendid life given by the base even after offending everyone, and was admired and admired by others.
He had the idea to replace him.
He began to ponder his own abilities. Since he can devour other people's redundant abilities to achieve a soothing effect, can he use these abilities for his own use?
During that time, Luoye's ability was very unstable. He tried during the treatment for him and found that he could not only use it for his own use, but also control them, making their abilities more chaotic, so he had frequent abilities after class. Things out of control.
He came into contact with more and more power users, and after losing control, more people came to him to comfort him. He devoured their powers. As more and more people devoured, he found that he could further control them and let them enter In the state of "madness", the power user in this state is irrational and does not distinguish between enemy and self. At the same time, it is also the most uncontrolled period of power, and he can change their power from "devour" to "deprivation", completely make it their own.
Under the pretext of treating maddeners, he deprived several people of their abilities, and those who were deprived of their abilities would be completely crippled and exploded to death.
He "treated" Luo Ye the most times, but no matter what he did, he couldn't make him go crazy, and it was quite difficult to transform after swallowing, and he found a problem from it, the stronger the ability user, The harder it is for him to transform their powers.
The ability deprived from others can only retain 30% of their original strength, which is not enough for him. His goal is Luo Ye from beginning to end, even if it is only 30% of Luo Ye's strength, that is Others are 100% incomparable. If he can deprive Luo Ye of his ability, plus other people's, he won't have what he wants.
Build your own base and be your own leader.
He started a comprehensive layout, causing more and more madmen to disrupt the base. Even if Luo Ye didn't come to him for treatment for a while, he would take the initiative to find Luo Ye and interfere with him from the side.
Because of Luo Ye's trust in him, he never guarded against him. Many times, even a person with strong willpower like Luo Ye was influenced by him, causing a trance feeling, temporarily losing consciousness and being controlled by him.
He used the power transformed from Luo Ye to secretly kill dozens of people, which attracted the attention of the headquarters, and then led the people in the technical department to conduct an autopsy, pointed out the source of the power, and controlled Luo Ye.
Then he interfered with his consciousness, controlled him to injure the guards and escaped, and it was more logical to take him away later.
After he took Luo Ye away, he coaxed him to accept the so-called treatment, but it was just to constantly erode his will, thereby depriving him of his abilities.
It's just that he didn't expect that Luo Ye is one body and two types, with abilities of two attributes.
That's why Luo Ye was able to break through the ban and wake up. He lost half of his fire-type abilities. In addition, he was controlled by Liu Min for a long time, and his body was very weak.
After Liu Min was constantly deprived and possessed more than a dozen abilities, they were tied. Luo Ye wanted to fight him desperately, but Liu Min finally escaped.
Luo Ye sat beside the corpse for seven days and seven nights, then buried them one by one with his own hands, and embarked on a wandering journey to find Liu Min's revenge.
He was alone, and he thought that there would be no more people in this world worthy of his nostalgia and devotion, and the meaning of life was only for revenge, and then go down to accompany them.
If he knew that he would provoke such a clingy spirit in that small broken city, he probably wouldn't have saved her cheaply.
That day was when he had tracked Liu Min's whereabouts for a long time and lost clues again. He was in a very bad mood. He happened to encounter a ruined city, so he went into the city to kill and vent.
Walking to an alley, he accidentally saw a girl who was surrounded by mutants and hid between two narrow walls. For some reason, he might simply think the mutants were annoying, so he indirectly rescued the girl.
She has been stuck with her ever since.
Wherever he went, she followed, in order to let her retreat, he deliberately took those difficult mountain roads, and the girl who seemed to be very squeamish not only gritted her teeth and persevered, but also followed closely. follow him.
He has a blood feud, and he has no energy or mood to take a squeamish and delicate girl.
He took her to a city, watched her hide at the entrance of the mutant's lair, didn't remind her, didn't save her until she was attacked by mutants and nearly died, pointed her in the direction, and drove her away coldly.
The little girl had not suffered any grievances, but after being accused by him, she turned and ran away.
He entered the lair alone, slashing numbly all the way.
He thought that she would never come back this time.
The little tail behind him that gave him a headache was gone, and suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable.
He uncontrollably remembered the scene where the girl followed him and stumbled with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Even if his feet were bleeding, his face was pale with hunger, and he was so tired that he was out of breath, he didn't dare to stop the next step, for fear of losing him. .
Thinking of how she was so scared to death when she was silent at night, she pretended to be calm next to him and muttered to herself, saying that she was afraid that he would feel lonely.
Thinking of her sleeping in a small ball because of the cold, she moved towards his position in a daze at night.
Then she thought of the way she encountered the mutant being killed and lying in a pool of blood dripping with blood.
As if stunned, he rushed out of the mutant's lair and chased in the direction she left.
She didn't stop until she saw her squatting on the road crying.
He stood quietly behind her for half an hour when the girl suddenly turned around and ran towards her.
He subconsciously hid, looked at the direction the girl was running, and silently returned to the cave where he lived in advance.
The silly girl was shivering from the cold outside the cave, but she didn't dare to approach. A mutant rabbit appeared behind her, and she was so frightened that she screamed, calling his name.
He killed the rabbit, roasted the rabbit meat, left some, left the cave, and went back after she fell asleep.
The next day, the girl looked as if nothing had happened, and followed him as before.
The dangerous road to Guanshan, the trials and the hardships, never flinched.
Sometimes he couldn't understand, what kind of power was hidden in her small body to endure these life that sometimes even he thought was boring.
It is obviously small, but it has inexhaustible power.
Her existence made him, who originally only wanted revenge, have a little more thought in his heart that he had never had before.
She was disheartened, she was gnashing her teeth, she was thinking brokenly, she was about to cry... She held his hand to blow air when he was injured, and said "Blowing on it doesn't hurt" like a child. With her indescribable dressing skills and cooking skills, she is full of vivid colors, dyeing his dull and stagnant black and white world into colorful colors.
Like the wind, she invaded silently, blowing across the lonely field and shattering the frozen lake of ice.
He began to wickedly want to drag her into the abyss with him, into the city of eternal night, let her live in his barren wasteland, and never be able to escape.
But looking at her with distinct colors and his lifeless self, he was reluctant to let her fall with him.
He met Shao Jing in the Drum Tower, so he could be regarded as a friend, anyway, no matter how many times he denied it, that fellow would still claim to be his friend to the outside world.
At that time, he was taken away by Liu Min, the Drum Tower was in chaos, Shao Jing was seriously injured and disfigured when he was on a mission, and his teammates left him one by one. The home is not what it used to be.
After the injury, he left the Gulou, and his personality changed a lot. He changed his name and surname, and started again. He found a small town by himself, took in some brothers, and became the leader of the base. Many refugees even managed the base in a decent manner.
Luo Ye passed by his base several times to supply supplies there. Shao Jing persuaded him not to look for Liu Min again. He should live for himself. If Wei Hao and the others knew, they would not want him to do this.
Luo Ye didn't listen and beat him up.
On the day he made up his mind, he found a car and took the girl to Shao Jing's base. The girl thought he was going to live here and was very happy about it.
He didn't speak, seeing her so happy, he felt that his decision was the right one.
should be right.
He shouldn't take her by his side so selfishly. A fresh person like her should live in the base instead of wandering aimlessly with him.
He asked Shao Jing to help him take good care of the girl, tried to hide it after he left, and stopped her if she wanted to find her. Shao Jing disagreed at first.
Shao Jing could see that he had unusual feelings for the girl, maybe she would be his salvation, and maybe it would change him.
He treats Luo Ye as a brother, naturally hoping that he will have a good life, no longer so lonely and only know revenge, but it also means that the girl will suffer a lot.
In the end, between selfishness and a sense of morality, he handed over the choice to the girl. When the girl found out that Luo Ye was missing and asked him, he answered truthfully.
Regardless of the obstacles, the girl must chase out. According to the time when Luo Ye left, she must not be able to catch up now, but Shao Jing knew that Luo Ye must not have left.
As expected, this guy had been hiding near the base, and followed the girl all the way after she chased out.
Seeing people stumbling after him, he even laughed.
Shao Jing was right next to him at the time, and he wanted to punch him when he saw it. It was so realistic.
In the end, the girl caught up with exhaustion and fell down. She cried so hard that he sighed and went out to help him up.
Shao Jing looked at the two hugging in the rain curtain from a distance, and suddenly his eyes became hot.
He used to be the captain of the nine-district combat team, and he always felt that it was their responsibility to pay for the people, so he never felt that Luo Ye's efforts were wrong.
It was not until later that he understood how tired Luo Ye was living at that time.
When he was in the Drum Tower, because he was the No. 1 powerhouse, he rushed to the front of all the dangerous tasks and lived for the base. In the end, what he got was just a killing order from the superior. .
After that, he was stabbed in the back by Liu Min again. His brother died for him. Now he lives with hatred. The whole world is looking for Liu Min. He has no desire to live anymore, he is just a walking dead supported by hatred.
Fortunately, now there is a girl who is willing to accompany him with all his heart.
…
After bidding farewell from Shao Jing's base, the two embarked on a wandering journey again.
Luo Ye no longer deliberately chooses those difficult paths, he wants to give his girl the most comfortable life possible, even though nothing can compare to being in the base.
It's not that he didn't want to settle down, but he couldn't adapt to the life at the base, nor could he live for a long time, so he could only take her to the base to live for a few days at intervals.
He is still tracking Liu Min's whereabouts, but Liu Min is uncertain about his movements, and has already changed his name and surname.
He thought that if he couldn't find it, he would stop chasing her and spend the rest of his life with her.
But sometimes in the middle of the night, he would still remember the scene of that day. If he didn't get his revenge, he would never be able to get out of that nightmare for the rest of his life.
The girl is squeamish, afraid of the heat and cold. He takes her to the north in the spring, and returns to the south in the fall. He travels through thousands of rivers, thousands of mountains, and thousands of miles. They come and go for several years. Shao Jingdu will wait at the gate of the base in the late summer and winter seasons, welcoming them when they arrive and watching them leave.
There was a kind of tacit understanding between them, no one asked about the return date, and no one mentioned Liu Min, but no one forgot the deep blood feud.
A few years later, Shao Jing asked Luo Ye when he planned to give her a home.
He watched them walk all the way, from when he was a bachelor to now the child is three years old, these two are still like this, every year like geese, going back and forth between the north and south, and sometimes detouring to the no-man's land in the northwest , even if he has seen the wind and waves like this, he sweats for them.
Luo Ye leaned back against the railing, looked up at the sky, Yunjuan Yunshu, and did not reply for a long time.
When Shao Jing thought he would not answer, he jokingly said: "When I find Liu Min and understand the matter, I will bring her to live with you, eat your food, drink your food, and have another child. , grab your son's bottle."
Luo Ye never admitted that Shao Jing was his friend. Now that he said this, even if it was a joking tone, Shao Jing was moved in a mess, but he still wanted to say something heart-wrenching: "When your child is born, my son will They're all weaned off."
Luo Ye asked quietly: "How do you know that the one who is now is not the son?"
In terms of piercing the heart, no one can make up for the knife better than Luo Ye.
Shao Jing had always wanted a daughter. His wife had just conceived a second child. When Luo Ye said this, he felt bad.
One stinky boy is enough for him to worry about losing his hair, and if he has another one, he must not be bald.
Who knows that next year will really give him a whole second boy.
At the turn of spring and summer that year, Shao Jing stood on the city wall with his young son in his arms, waiting to greet his old friend, and by the way, scolded Luo Ye's crow mouth.
But he waited all summer and they didn't come.
Winter is over and they still haven't come.
The two most important friends of his life lost their appointment for the first time—
Luo Ye died in the mutant beast tide.
Liu Min thought that Luo Ye had given up looking for him in the past so many years, so he stopped living secretly, built a base, became the leader, and lived a happy life, so high-profile nearby cities were spreading his story.
There probably won't be a second power user with the ability to "devour" in this world.
Luo Ye has been looking for him for six years and has never given up looking for him.
In that duel, both lost.
Liu Min has also done an even crazier thing over the years. He has raised mutants, using his compatriots as nourishment, and the mutants with sufficient food, each of which is very powerful.
Before Liu Min died, he released all the variants, and the place where they were raised was near where Luo Ye and the others lived.
Chu Chu had never known that he wanted revenge, and today duel, he left her there alone.
He hurried back as fast as possible, and before the mutants engulfed them, he used the remaining power to summon the ice dragon and send her to a safe place.
Before meeting her, he regarded hatred as the only driving force to live, and regarded death as his home. After meeting her, he wanted to live a long life with her.
It's a pity that he can't accompany her on the next road.
In the second year, the spring grass grew very lush. There were two small graves in the lonely mountain forest. They were close to each other, like lovers leaning on each other. The taller one embraced the shorter one.
Live in the same quilt, die in the same hole.
…
The blue petal fireflies are like a star-dotted ribbon, swept up into the air by the wind, and the rich fragrance slowly dissipates, leaving only the bare branches and stalks in the yard, and no flowers are seen in the leaves.
Two tears fell from the corner of the man's eyes, and the sadness was like a wave, drowning him in an instant.
"Aye..." The girl in her arms woke up. She rubbed her eyes and asked vaguely, "What's wrong with you?"
She felt drops of water falling on her face.
The man suddenly tightened his arms, so tight that he felt his waist was about to break at the beginning, and he immediately woke up.
She raised her hand and touched the man's face, and she really felt the moist touch. She didn't know what he dreamed, but she actually cried in the dream.
Chu Chu was so distressed that he patted him on the back and coaxed loudly: "It's alright, I'm not afraid, I'll be alright when I wake up, my dreams are all fake."
The man miraculously calmed down, opened his eyes, and woke up.
Chu Chu didn't know yet, and was still coaxing him with the tone of coaxing a child, pulling him back to reality and escaping the nightmare-like dream.
The man was quiet in the darkness for a long time, then suddenly lowered his head and kissed the top of the girl's hair in his arms, with the joy of cherishing and regaining it.
I am glad that they can come back again, and I am glad that all the nightmares have not yet begun.
Glad she's still here.
Chu Chu was so confused that he touched the top of his head blankly: "Are you awake or dreaming?"
"It wasn't me who was dreaming, was it?"
Aye actually took the initiative to kiss her!
She must be dreaming.
Luo Ye held up her face, and dropped a question on her forehead with a hoarse voice: "Chuchu."
Even more confused at first.
Not dreaming.
Why did he call her by her full name, strangely alienated.
"You are not allowed to die." The man said suddenly.
"Ah?" Chu Chu was about to close himself, what was this all about? She scratched her head, thinking he was dreaming that she was dead, so she followed his words to comfort him, "Okay, not dead, definitely not. Die, whoever dies is a puppy."
Luo Ye knew that she must be thinking crooked, but he didn't correct her, he just hugged the person tightly without leaving any small cracks.
He finally understood where those déjà vu and paradoxical feelings came from.
Although he had not recovered his memory before, he was subconsciously trying to avoid what happened in his previous life. He refused to stay in District 1 and chose to live in District 9, which is far away, reducing contact with Liu Min and avoiding his control. At the mercy of him, what surprised him most was that she would come to him in advance.
Everything has changed and history will not repeat itself.
…
Chutu squatted in front of the bare pot of flowers and fell into contemplation. It was obviously full of beautiful flowers last night, but when I woke up today, only the branches were left.
Could it be that someone even steals flowers?
"The flower of dreams, also called the flower of nightmares, has gorgeous petals with fluorescent light. When the flowers are at their peak, the fragrance is strong, smelling it, attracting people to dream, and often accompanied by nightmares." Luo Ye walked behind her and hugged her, "Nightmare beast. The companion plant, which only grows near the Nightmare beast's lair, is a relatively rare mutant plant, used together with the Nightmare beast's venom, it has hallucinogenic effects, and is most common in the southwest."
At the beginning, she suddenly realized, she said how she felt familiar, she had seen Mengsheng flower, but the color of the flower she had met was a gorgeous orange, so she didn't recognize it for a while.
Variants are mainly mutated animals, but there are also a small number of mutated plants in the world. Most of these plants are accompanied by alien animals, and the two complement each other to achieve the best effect.
Shao Jing has never seen a mutated variety of plants. In fact, many people don't know that plants can also mutate. It should be said that he was lucky. At that time, he didn't encounter the full bloom of Mengsheng Flower, otherwise he would not have been able to bring this flower to him. return.
In their previous life, they had been to Yuncheng in the southwest, where there is always a fascinating sea of flowers, but they accidentally fell into the beautiful "trap" of the two in the beginning. Then I was fascinated by the illusion and trapped in the illusion.
It was Luo Ye who found something wrong, destroyed the flower, and pulled her out of the illusion.
At first I thought of the nightmare that Luo Ye had suddenly had last night, and guessed that it must have been caused by this dream. There was no other impact, otherwise she would be to blame.
The flowering period of this dreaming flower has failed, and it will no longer affect people, but at the beginning, I didn't want to keep it, worried that it would affect them again, so I dug a hole and broke the flower branch and buried it in the soil.
Luo Ye saw that she had been looking at the flower since she woke up and didn't look at herself, she was slightly upset, and turned the face of the girl who was thinking about burying the flower to look at him.
"What's wrong?" Chu Chu was puzzled, glanced at him and saw that he had nothing to do, then turned back and continued to "bury the flowers".
Luo Ye was in a depressed mood. He didn't expect that one day he would compete with a flower for favor, but he couldn't compete!
"Wife," he called.
Chu Chu naturally responded, "Ah."
"Look at me."
"Husband, wait, I'm going to fix it..." Chu Tiao said and suddenly paused. After realizing it, the shovel in her hand fell to the ground, and she turned around in disbelief.
wife!
He called her wife!
