Chapter 73: memory and dreams

Even in a dream, Ling Chengmu could still see Qin Ce's eyes clearly at that moment.

The eyes are intertwined with struggle and intolerance, but in the end they return to cold and gloomy eyes.

Gunshots sounded.

She opened her eyes and sat up suddenly from the bed.

The pain was real, as if she had been hit like that again.

The quartz clock on the wall showed that it was only two hours before she fell asleep.

She was silent for a while, looked up, and saw Qin Ce sitting on the sofa opposite, with her hands folded in front of her knees, watching herself calmly.

In the room with the lights turned off, only the early morning moonlight shone through the gaps in the curtains and sprinkled on the ground under his feet.

The two looked at each other in the dim darkness.

She asked him in a low voice, "Have you not slept yet?"

"no."

"What's that doing?"

Qin Ce lowered his eyes, with a very depressed sigh at the end of the words: "I'm sharing your memory."

Ling Orange was stunned.

"The data of the real crystal chip has shared characteristics. Once a member's memory is restored, other members who have experienced the same scene as her can also be restored."

For example, in the memory she recovered in her dream, only she and Qin Ce existed.

So when she remembered it, it meant that Qin Ce also remembered.

She was speechless for a while, then thoughtfully replied, "Yeah."

"You don't have anything to tell me?"

"What do you want to hear?" She smiled bitterly, "Actually, I had expected that, you fired that shot."

"Xu Xiao once told me that when you were assigned to the dense forest system, you were seriously injured." Qin Ce said solemnly, "It turns out..."

It was really his hand.

He didn't say anything after that.

Since the confirmation of their relationship, the atmosphere between the two has never been so suppressed to suffocation at any moment.

The suffocation was impossible to resolve.

After a long silence, Ling Chengmu finally proposed.

"Want to have a drink? I still have FE points."

"go."

Wu Shijiu originally thought that the contents of the C-level memory card had nothing to do with him. The brothers and sisters in the team were all people with stories. Only he was a rookie who stepped in in the middle. It would be good to cheer everyone.

Before she went to sleep, her head started to hurt.

She was lying on the bed, and Lu Ling, who was on the opposite side of the bed, didn't understand what she said, and she lost consciousness in a daze after a while.

The night seemed long enough to dream many things.

For example, the time-space prison with copper walls and iron walls, and the school training ground that is tightly sealed on all sides.

There is always dark night, only strong light replaces the sun, and it is always covered with a dark flowing enchantment.

Heaven and earth are cages with nowhere to escape.

In the vast white fog, the vision gradually turned from blurred to clear.

In the distance is the school training ground. Behind the tall building in the control center, there is a small open space surrounded by metal fences. There are many pots of green plants and flowers in the open space, all of which are growing vigorously.

The young warden is lying in the soft chair, the dark green uniform is cut to fit, which complements her thin and handsome figure. She looks up at the barrier above her head with a cigarette in her mouth, her fox eyes are cold and charming, her face is expressionless, she doesn't know what she is thinking something.

She had a neat high bun, with a fine-textured mahogany hairpin inserted in her hair, and the head of the hairpin was carved with a high-flying flower, which matched her very well.

Not far from her, stood a pair of teenagers and girls. The teenagers looked like they were eighteen or nineteen years old. At best, the girls were only fifteen or sixteen years old.

It was Wu Shijiu and Lu Ling.

Although Wu Shijiu at that time still had short ear-length hair and a little baby fat on his charming face; although at that time Lu Ling had neither dyed silver hair nor pierced ear studs, his black hair was soft and fell before his forehead, and his eyebrows were still green. .

But it was them, not wrong.

The warden slowly exhaled a breath of smoke, and finally turned his head with a smile.

Her voice was quiet and lazy, and seemed a little ethereal in this dream, like a distant echo from the horizon.

- Don't be nervous, this is a monitoring blind spot specially opened by the information officer, and even people in black will not come to patrol.

- Instructor Chang will come to pick you up later. Life at the school training ground is not easy, but it's better than being imprisoned in a time-space prison, right?

—Oh yes, you need a name, just…

-You are good at everything, but you are not good at everything, let's call it Wu Shijiu; your little brother's talent and strength are a little bit stronger, let's call it Lu Ling.

Pass or fail, or a couple's name.

Lu Ling smiled and quietly took Wu Shijiu's hand from behind.

Then the picture turned black, and the strong tingling feeling in my mind suddenly disappeared.

The dream sinks.

... Wu Shijiu opened his eyes.

The dimly yellow bedside lamp next to her was still on, and by the light, she saw that Lu Ling also lifted the quilt and sat up.

Four eyes met, both of them were stunned, and they didn't speak for a long time.

What to say?

She, who has always been eloquent, could not utter half a word clumsily at this time.

In the end, Lu Ling finally summoned up the courage to explain reluctantly.

"I... I heard Brother Qin mentioned that the memory data of the real crystal chip can be shared, as long as the members are in the same scene."

"Oh." Wu Shijiu nodded dully, and she asked blankly, "So you also dreamed just now?"

"right."

"But the question shouldn't be, why do I also have a real crystal chip in my body?"

Only members of the Time and Space Inspection Bureau will have real crystal chips.

"Being able to enter the school's training ground means that you are already a member of the Supervision Bureau. Maybe Prison Chief Ling gave us the green light."

"In the dream, Sister Orange said that the instructor... The instructor will come to pick us up. What's the instructor's last name?"

"often."

In fact, Wu Shijiu knew it was often.

The more I heard it, the more incredible it became.

She rubbed her face, mechanically got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked towards the door like sleepwalking.

Lu Ling called her from behind: "Where are you going?"

"Go to Brother Chang."

"Wait, I'm going too!"

In Chang Su's dream, there were three vague figures.

Black uniform, dark green uniform, white uniform, plus his dark blue uniform.

The four chief inspectors form the four-star encircling totem on the shoulder emblem.

He was sitting behind the high-rise building in the control center, on the clean and tidy open space, and was concentrating on watering one of the pots of green plants.

The pot of green plants is called Yunwu, which is delicate and vigorous. It seems that the executive officer brought it back from a parallel space. There are two pots, one is kept here, and the other is placed on the warden's desk.

At the warden's place, there are dolls, porcelain cups and small necklaces.

All from the executive.

The Time and Space Supervision Bureau prohibits smoking and drinking, prohibits meaningless entertainment activities, does not allow too close communication between the chiefs, and does not allow the chiefs to develop feelings.

As a result, the four of them, relying on this secret base opened by the information officer, just committed all the bans.

Someone put two cans of beer in front of him and whispered: "Brother Chang, they went on a mission today, I'll accompany you to drink some."

"Okay, I've been sitting at the school's training ground every day for equestrian assessments. It's annoying me."

"went well?"

"I can't talk about whether it's going well or not. It's the little girl sent by Warden Ling last time. She can't learn to ride a horse. I'm afraid of crossing the gang, so I closed my eyes and counted her passing—hey, this wine is good."

Chang Su heard his own voice and spoke fluently, unlike today.

It's a pity that he didn't have time to listen to a few more words, and he woke up from the dream.

When he woke up, he saw Xu Xiao sitting by the bed with a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

He looked at Xu Xiao, and then at the coffee in Xu Xiao's hand. He looked like he was crying instead of laughing, and there was a hint of helplessness.

"Don't drink coffee...let's drink."

Xu Xiao smiled: "If you are free tomorrow, let's go have a drink."

The two stared at each other for a while, then sighed at the same time.

Chang Su said, "It's really you, you are... an information officer, right?"

In the dream, although he did not see the appearance of the information officer, he could hear it, it was a man's voice.

Moreover, the slow and gentle tone is very similar to Xu Xiao.

"I don't know if I'm an information officer, but I did share your memory." Xu Xiao shook his head, extremely troubled, "This is very strange, shouldn't the chief inspector of that session be based on the ranking of the hunting plan? The fourth place is Ayako, why didn't she become an information officer, but me?"

However, Chang Su could not give him the answer to this question.

Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door outside, Chang Su Zhuo pulled his slippers and got up to open the door. Unexpectedly, when the door opened, Wu Shijiu was full of him.

"Brother Chang! Brother Chang, are you an instructor?!"

"…"

Lu Ling also followed behind and asked cautiously, "Are you?"

Chang Su glanced at Xu Xiao and sighed in annoyance.

"I'm alright... I think so?"

"Then what did you dream about?"

"I dreamed..." He lowered his head to meet Wu Shijiu's gaze, hesitated for a moment, and answered seriously, "Girl, you are really...you have no talent...you have to help...you cheat."

Wu Shijiu: "?"

In the bar of the city that never sleeps, each person needs to pay 200 points to drink freely.

Naturally, Qin Ce's account should also be counted on Ling Chengmu's side.

"I found that as long as the survivor benefits are turned on, you have to live on me."

"thanks."

The lights and shadows in the bar changed, the band on the stage was playing rock music, the rhythm set off a heat wave, and the players under the stage reveled.

The two found a corner away from the stage, and there was a row of wine on the table in front of them.

Every time the bottle edge hits, it is bound to be drained in one gulp.

Ling Chengmu raised her eyes to look at Qin Ce: "Isn't the Time and Space Supervision Bureau smoking ban and prohibiting alcohol? Your alcohol intake is quite good."

"Maybe practiced before."

"Do you smoke?"

"Don't smoke."

"That's why you like candy?"

Qin Ce closed his eyes, and the light and shadow flickered, and his expression became dark and indistinct.

"Because it's sweet."

Being trapped in a cage for too long, the more bitter my heart is, the more I look forward to every sweetness.

He had no choice.

"What about you, why do you like candy?"

"I also want to know that whenever I want to put something in my mouth, I can only think of candy." Ling Chengmu said, "I should probably smoke, but I can't remember who persuaded me. Me, 'smoking is not good for health, quit it'?"

Such vague words have always echoed vaguely in her ears for many years. She has thought more than once, who would be so boring, boring enough to mind her own business?

And she actually adopted it, still impressed?

Qin Ce nodded when he heard the words: "Smoking does hurt the body, so quitting is fine."

"If you can quit smoking, can people quit?"

"…"

Ling Chengmu put down the bottle of wine and leaned on the table with both hands to approach him. It was close at hand, probably due to the effect of alcohol, her eyes were surprisingly clear.

"Qin Ce." She called his name and asked word by word, "The four chiefs, three are no longer in the Supervision Bureau, why are you the only one staying there?"

The silence at this moment was especially long.

Longer than the bottom line can bear.

Qin Ce stared at her with a rare look of daze and confusion in his eyes. The feeling of powerlessness that he wanted to talk about made him feel uncontrollable sadness from the bottom of his heart.

"I can't answer you," he said.

If I could answer, I would have answered it long ago, and there is no need to wait until now.

"I am sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry for, the apology between us is meaningless." Ling Chengmu sighed, "I just had a premonition of the future, if there is a day when all your memories are restored, and you remember your true position, you still have to fight with me. enemy."

If history repeats itself, and he and her make the same mistakes, no matter what she does, it will be contrary to his current responsibilities.

Ask herself, can she accept that ending?

"Qin Ce, when the time comes..."

"No matter what I think of, your position in the future will always be mine." Qin Ce cut off her words seriously, "Take ten thousand steps back, if there is such a day, you will kill me with your own hands, don't be soft-- Just like when I shot you."

He cares.

Ling Chengmu folded her fingers on the table, and she didn't say a word.

The two of them clearly knew very well that the shot from that year, from tonight, would become a thorn in each other's hearts.

Even if Ling Chengmu didn't hold grudges, Qin Ce would definitely feel guilty.

It is a chasm, a storm that does not know when it will come, and it cannot be eliminated.

Ling Chengmu unconsciously clenched her teeth for a moment, she pushed away the empty wine bottles in front of her, got up and left her seat.

"I will."

Just as he was about to open the door of the bar, Wu Shijiu's memory in his dream was shared with her through the real crystal chip.

She stood there for a long time, until the pictures around her seemed to freeze.

Then she walked down the steps of the bar and saw that on the opposite square, her teammates were using the positioning function of the watch to find them all the way.

All are ancestors.

We used to know each other.

What a blessing to meet again today.

The road ahead is still full of thorns, and this is a new beginning.
