Chapter 374 Take it back
When he woke up again, everything was dark and his eyes were covered tightly.
After a long time, the blindfold was taken off and he was locked in a narrow metal room. A picture appeared on the panel in front of him, playing the mission information that he needed to remember.
He listened to the noisy sounds outside gradually die down, and accepted his new identity calmly and indifferently.
——His name is Pu Huai, and he is the team leader who lives on the 48th floor.
Personality: He is quiet, expressionless, thoughtful, and occasionally kind-hearted, and he would take on short-term jobs for those who can't find a job.
The neighbors on the left and right were a group of the lowest of the lowest classes, and the neighbors on the right were a pair of grandparents and grandchildren, whom I would help from time to time.
He clicked on the photo information of the grandparents and grandchildren, which showed the withered and dying old lady and the gloomy and taciturn thin girl.
It only took him a second or two to close the message and focus on how to complete the task...
He successfully got on the car back to the Hive. On the way, he didn't care how vast the world was, nor did he feel the refreshing feeling of the wind blowing across his cheeks. He remained sitting in the same position without moving.
He left the lab, but he was always in the lab.
After that, he began to live in the hive, following the original body's logic and applying it to himself exactly, talking and laughing, being tolerant and strict, and he always did well.
Strictly carry out the tasks assigned to him by Ting Baixia.
Until that morning, the girl next door appeared in his room, and according to the original practice, he nodded and allowed her to join the team.
Actually, looking back now, it was a wrong decision.
He shouldn't have agreed to it.
Because he gradually discovered that the girl named Anjiu had a vibrant vitality.
——Fresh.
--vitality.
He couldn't accurately understand his own emotions, he just felt that his heart was a little strange.
I guess he hadn't learned this word at that time, so he must have made it up.
However, when Anjiu appeared, his eyes couldn't help but fly over there. On the surface, he was the same as usual, but only he could feel that the strange feeling was getting stronger and stronger.
At night, he calmly analyzed the reasons for this abnormality.
A conclusion was drawn - Anjiu's soul was tempered after experiencing a different world.
But it’s still a bit inappropriate.
He couldn't find a better explanation.
Moreover, he was standing too close to the wall. Behind him were Anjiu and her grandmother. It was so late, they should be asleep. That vibrant life was asleep, and finally it was not burning. She was too risky today. She actually dared to take off her gloves and touch the crystal...
Wait, what was he thinking? Sleep!
The more people lack something, the more they want to get closer to it.
When he heard Anjiu say that he wanted to learn a few moves from him, he felt his blood flowing backwards and his body began to heat up.
He didn't want to refuse, but he still had to struggle—not with her, but with his own heart.
This feeling of feeling the emotions produced by his body again made him feel both unfamiliar and a little frightened.
As far as memory goes, emotions usually represent suffering and pain.
He was feeling some pain now, a pain he couldn't find the source of, but his body was clearly not hurt.
too weird.
And…he wanted to talk to her.
Is it because I am too immersed in the role?
He was not good at dealing with the emotions produced by his body, and was more familiar with pain, but he tasted pleasure, sweeter than candy, and he pressed his hands to his chest.
It was beating, not mechanically, but heavily, and it contained something that was unfamiliar to him but that he liked very much.
--like?
--what is that?
He seemed to feel that he himself had also been imbued with a touch of life.
He suddenly found that he had a stronger connection with the world. It was amazing. The sky in his eyes seemed bluer, the wind seemed softer, and he seemed to have a mind of his own.
It's... something that belongs to him.
And all this was slowly gained after getting close to Anjiu.
He began to indulge in the sweetness and felt light and fluttery.
Almost forgot the mission.
"We have received inside information that the Hive has discovered a high-grade crystal mine and are preparing to carry out the mission."
"Yes."
He stared out the window for a long time.
Once again, he ignored the surging sadness in his body.
He silently memorized the long list of terms and conditions for serving Ting Bai.
——He couldn't escape, there was a control lock left by the doctor in his body.
——He will contribute his life to the long-term prosperity of Tingbai.
——Slowly...get away, there is still a long time.
……
Anjiu breathed slowly. The overly humid air mixed into her blood through her trachea and rushed all the way to her limbs and bones. It felt as heavy as lead. Her eye sockets were dry, but she truly felt that her body was full of water.
"Anjiu," 1009 suddenly stood up and slowly opened his arms to her, with a begging and desire in his eyes that she had never seen before, "Before we leave, I want to do something that I have never done before but have always wanted to do, is that okay?"
Anjiu couldn't refuse, she spread out her palm and 1009 jumped up.
When their eyes were level, 1009 walked forward and pressed his cheek against hers.
At this moment, any language is powerless. They remain silent, but their hearts are connected.
An awkward warmth, glowing softly, flowed between them.
These are two lonely souls, they are drifting in this desolate land, unable to find their roots and unable to find a place to settle down, like a dandelion or a duckweed, always drifting.
Anjiu is better off than him. She has her grandmother to support her and has found a home for herself.
1009 wanted to land on her, but the wind was too strong. He couldn't land, nor did he dare to land. He was trapped in the wind until he was torn apart.
Just at this moment, the door to go back appeared.
Anjiu saw the guidance in the air and heard the cheers of his classmates outside the door.
She grabbed 1009 and said carefully, "I'll take you back."
1009 didn't say anything, but his expression showed anticipation and joy.
However, as the distance between Anjiu and the door got closer, he became more and more painful, and he stretched out his hands to block the red light that almost melted him.
"No, no, it's too hot."
Fear wrapped around his heart like a tight hoop, and a huge feeling of powerlessness took over his whole body. He hugged Anjiu tightly, rubbing her hard, and said his final goodbye.
Suddenly he let go of her hand, and said with a cold and resolute face: "Let's go back and live a good life with grandma."
He jumped off Anjiu's shoulder regardless of the danger, not giving himself a chance to hesitate.
An Jiu reacted quickly and picked him up from the air, and said in fear: "Don't worry, I have other ways to try."
"any solution?"
"Put you into space."
Anjiu pulled out a bag of snacks from the top layer of her private space, folded up her sweater and laid it on top of the snacks, so that it would be flatter and he wouldn't fall into the gap, and she would be able to see at a glance whether he was taken back to the hive.
After putting 1009 into the space, Anjiu returned to the safe house, picked up the flower pot on the faucet, and ran through the door at the last moment...
