The red circle is still the same as in Chen Nuo's memory.
It was as if I had followed the mercenary team on a mission more than a year ago.
The outline of the modularly assembled shelter-style base is right in front of you.
The bunkers in several defensive positions are also exactly the same as when I went there before.
When Chen Nuo and Xicheng Xun entered the base, they quickly found the central hall according to the location in their memory.
Xicheng Xun saw Chen Nuo walking all the way, as if he was familiar with the road, and couldn't help but ask: "BOSS, are you familiar with this place?"
"Well, didn't I just tell you that I have been here before." Chen Nuo thought for a while and replied: "Just over a year ago, I accepted a mission issued by an octopus monster and infiltrated the client's team.
Here, something happened here..."
"So, what's here?" Xicheng Xun asked
Chen Nuo did not answer immediately. He walked to the door of the central hall, easily opened the door, looked inside the cabin hall, and then tried to turn on the lighting system.
The base's power supply system was obviously still running. Soon the lights in the hall were illuminated.
Chen Nuo walked in first.
In the hall, there are some drawings or documents on the tables in the middle.
Human beings cannot naturally see it - there is no life in this world.
Chen Nuo's expression was very complicated. He quickly walked to the table, picked up the drawings and documents on the table and turned them over carefully.
Just for a moment, a strange smile appeared on his face, and then he slowly dropped the stack of drawings on the table.
Slowly, Chen Nuo pulled a chair next to him and sat down. He crossed the fingers of his hands, rested his elbows on the table, and supported his chin with the back of his hands, as if he was lost in thought.
Xicheng Xun waited patiently for a while, but finally couldn't bear the anxiety in his heart and shouted: "BOSS?"
Chen Nuo turned his eyes and turned to look at Xicheng Xun, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "It just so happens that my mind is a little confused right now. Please help me analyze it."
Xicheng Xun nodded immediately and pulled up a chair to sit next to Chen Nuo.
Chen Nuo thought for a while: "I told you, I came here last year, in this timeline, that is, 2001."
Xicheng Xun: "Well, what happens next?"
"This world..." Chen Nuo said with a smile: "The fourth seed was cut out from my memory. In other words, if this place is cut according to my memory... then this place should also be 2001.
It looks like a year, right?”
"……right."
Chen Nuo pointed to the stack of drawings and documents next to him: "See for yourself."
Xicheng Xun frowned, picked it up and turned it over.
The drawings are not complicated, they are probably the maintenance of some equipment in the base, as well as records of ground surveys of the surrounding environment.
But Xicheng Xun’s eyes soon changed!
These maintenance records, as well as ground survey records, are all marked with time!
"...This is...2007?!"
"right."
Xicheng Xun's expression changed: "The time is wrong!"
"Yes, the time is wrong." Chen Nuo smiled bitterly and said: "If it were cut according to the cognitive world in my memory, then this should be a world in 2001.
But this is 2007! It’s like…”
"Just like your home in Room 504!" Xicheng Xun immediately understood what Chen Nuo meant and quickly said: "So, this Antarctic base..."
"The home of 504 is my home in my previous life. It only exists in my experience in my previous life and in my memory.
Therefore, when the fourth seed cut my cognitive world according to my memory, it also brought it out.
And here, it's the same.
So, in other words, I have been here in this place in my previous life, in 2007!"
Xicheng Xun stopped talking. This neon girl has a very good habit. When encountering complex or strange things, she can always stabilize her mentality, not rush to express opinions, and can control her emotions well.
First seek to obtain more information and intelligence and do sufficient analysis.
Chen Nuo said slowly: "I should have been here in my previous life, in 2007. In my previous life, I led you to struggle and live in this world. So, do you still remember what I did in 2007 and where I went?
?”
Xicheng Xun recalled it carefully and said slowly: "I remember that in 2007, BOSS, you did leave for a while. You said that there was an important entrusted task that you should carry out personally. You also said that that matter was related to
Octopus monster.
However, you didn't tell me the details.
Maybe...if the fox was here, he might know more. After all, the fox has always been responsible for coordinating all our affairs.
Many times, you will leave to deal with some of your personal matters, or you will do something you want to do, and you will not tell us.
But you usually tell the fox."
When Xicheng Xun said this, he suddenly remembered something: "However, whatever you do later, you will usually tell Yu Naitang. The fox once complained, and you became more and more trusting of Niu Tou.
But... in 2007, Yu Naitang had not joined us yet, so even if you had to tell someone what you were going to do, you should just tell the fox."
Chen Nuo smiled bitterly: "But the fox... didn't come over."
Chen Nuo thought for a while and then asked: "So...do you remember anything else about me in 2007?"
Xicheng Xun did not answer immediately, but recalled it seriously for a moment.
Then, her expression became a little complicated.
"BOSS, after 2007, we were actually very dissatisfied privately. We felt that you... had changed!"
"Changed?"
"Yes, you have changed."
"What has changed?"
Xicheng Xun met Chen Nuo's eyes and struggled for a moment: "We had a quarrel about this matter later. It was the only time that we expressed dissatisfaction with something you did after following you.
But your attitude was very firm that time, and we finally reached an agreement, and we will never mention that matter in front of you again."
Chen Nuo's heart sank, and he smiled bitterly: "It's okay, you can say it now."
"About... you and that woman." Xicheng Xun took a deep breath and said a name: "Queen of the Starry Sky, Lu Xixi."
·
"So, Chen Nuo and Lu Xixian are together? And they also gave birth to a daughter?"
Li Yingwan looked at Zhang Linsheng and Brother Lei with a calm expression.
Zhang Linsheng has been tied up again and is sitting next to Brother Lei.
It's just that Brother Haonan's face was gloomy, while Brother Lei looked at Li Yingwan with a strange expression: "No... Li Yingwan, have you also lost your memory?"
"Brother Lei, stop talking... I don't think she is Li Yingwan at all!" Zhang Linsheng said coldly.
"Not Li Yingwan? Then who is she?!" Brother Lei looked like he had seen a ghost.
Zhang Linsheng shook his head: "Do you still remember... Chen Nuo lost his memory for a period of time and seemed to have become another person?"
Brother Lei's scalp suddenly went numb!
How could he not remember that thing?
I even pretended to be Mr. Nuo’s father!!
Although that incident ended with Mr. Nuo regaining his memory.
But Brother Lei didn't say anything, but he knew in his heart... Chen Nuo seemed to be possessed by a ghost.
Seize the body!?
Li Yingwan didn't care about the two people's doubts at all, and just continued to ask: "So, where is Lu Xixi? Are you with Chen Nuo, and are you in Jinling now?"
Seeing that Zhang Linsheng and Brother Lei stopped talking, but judging from their expressions...
Anger suddenly welled up in Li Yingwan's eyes!
She stabbed the dagger in her hand fiercely into the wall, then roared, jumped up, and slashed at the wall with the dagger in a venting style.
He was still yelling angrily: "Idiot! Idiot! Isn't it enough once? I have to be sad for that woman again!!!"
·
"Tell me about what happened after 2007." Chen Nuo looked calm as he sat in his chair.
"Um?"
"It's okay, just say it."
Xicheng Xun's eyes were a little complicated, and he began to speak in a low voice...
"At the end of 2007, you suddenly summoned us.
I was still in Tokyo at that time. You know, I rarely leave Neon. But that time, you suddenly summoned everyone. I thought something important might have happened or been announced, so I went to see you.
That time, I and all of us were gathered together on your boat.
Your situation at that time was very, very bad.
You look very strange...
How should I put it, your strength suddenly became stronger again.
When you met us, you looked very energetic, and your mental telepathy could even cover the entire sea area. We all clearly felt that BOSS, your ability has become more powerful.
But I don’t know why, but we all have a strange feeling, let’s just say... you look very powerful, you are dressed cleanly, your hair is neatly combed, and you even shaved.
But... we just feel that you have an indescribable 'haggard' smell about you.
We are all people who have experienced countless lives and deaths.
We talked in private, and we all felt that BOSS, your eyes seemed to have lost their former sparkle.
You have become silent, and even tend to zone out when talking to us.
You said that you have been suppressing your own strength, and you have not adapted to the speed at which your mental power is increasing.
You also said that after you figure out your own situation, you can sum up a set of methods to improve your strength, and you can teach us in the future...
But we actually don’t care much about what you said.
You even took the initiative to drink with us.
You know, more than a year ago before that time, there was an incident where that guy Li Yingwan took advantage of you to be drunk and climbed into your bed in the middle of the night, but she almost succeeded.
After that, you will never drink with us again.
So that time, when you offered to drink, we were all surprised.
But soon, you announced something, and that incident immediately caused us to explode in a few moments."
·
"What did I say?" Chen Nuo frowned.
Xicheng Xun carefully avoided Chen Nuo's gaze, and then smiled bitterly and said: "BOSS...you are, don't you even remember?"
Li Yingwan punched the wall. The skin and flesh where her fist met the bone were torn and blood dripped.
The girl clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth.
Then, her memory seemed to return to a certain moment...
·
"...I'm going to retire."
Chen Nuo held up his wine glass and looked at the group of mentally ill children in front of him.
silence!
The dining room of the cabin instantly fell into a deathly silence!
The smiles on the faces of several girls froze directly on their faces.
A few seconds later…
Firefly took a deep breath and reluctantly said: "BOSS, I didn't hear what you just said clearly. Do you want to take a vacation?"
Everyone else was also staring closely at Chen Nuo.
Chen Nuo breathed out, put down his wine glass, looked around at several people, and then whispered: "No, it's not a vacation.
Yes, retire.
retire!"
bite!
I don't know who it was, but the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
"...Are you crazy!!!"
The first one to jump up was still Li Yingwan, who has the most paranoid and twisted personality.
Firefly rushed forward, grabbed Chen Nuo's clothes with both hands, and stared at Chen Nuo with a distorted face: "You... you want to..."
"Li Yingwan!"
A hand stretched out from the side and held down Li Yingwan's arm.
Fox grabbed Li Yingwan's arm, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed his emotions: "First, let the boss finish his words."
Although he seemed calm, everyone could hear the fox's voice trembling.
Nivel sat down silently, then grabbed the wine bottle on the table and took a sip. She looked at Chen Nuo with eyes full of sadness.
Xicheng Xun narrowed his eyes, lowered his eyelids and remained silent.
Li Yingwan's hands began to tremble, and finally she loosened Chen Nuo's clothes bit by bit. Her eyes quickly filled with tears, and then the tears started flowing down.
Like a stubborn and wronged child, he bit his lip hard and stared at Chen Nuo.
Chen Nuo looked at everyone, sighed, pulled Li Yingwan, pressed her on the chair and sat down.
Then, Chen Nuo glanced at the fox, and after seeing a trace of nervousness and fear in the fox's eyes, he carefully looked away.
"I... fell in love with a woman." Chen Nuo announced: "I plan to spend the rest of my time by her side."
Everyone fell silent.
Everyone looked at their boss with complicated eyes.
After a while, it was the fox who spoke.
Fox stared at Chen Nuo: "Is she... the Queen of the Starry Sky?"
Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows: "You know?"
"I saw the exchange between you and her on the Octopus Monster website." The fox's tone was obviously suppressing his anger: "I thought you had nothing to do with her!"
"Now we have it." Chen Nuo didn't explain much.
The fox's expression changed: "...but...but you've been quarreling with the octopus monster recently on her website!"
"Just think of it as a quarrel." Chen Nuo still didn't explain much.
"Chen Nuo!" Li Yingwan raised her head and looked at Chen Nuo pitifully. She actually stopped calling him BOSS and called him by his first name. However, her tone sounded extremely weak: "You actually know very well.
of.
No matter what you want, no matter what you want to do, as long as you say it, we will work hard to help you get it!
Even if you want to sit in that seat in the White House, we can go together tonight and win that place!
If you like a woman, even if she refuses, I am willing to catch her, clean her, tie her up, and send her to your bed!
but……
You said, you want to retire for a woman?
Are you leaving us for a woman?!"
Chen Nuo sighed, bent down and gently patted Li Yingwan on the shoulder: "You... you have always been so fond of thinking.
The relationship between a man and a woman is not what you think it is.
Any woman I like, just tie it up and give it to me...
We can no longer have this stupid idea.
and……
Firefly, I gave you this name, have you forgotten it?
Fireflies can emit light by themselves.
Therefore, there is no such thing as "I leave you and give up on you."
Li Yingwan didn't speak, but just gritted her teeth and shook her head vigorously.
"Can I say a few words?"
Xicheng Xun stood up slowly. She bowed carefully and looked at Chen Nuo with the polite manner unique to Japanese girls: "BOSS?"
"Go ahead." Chen Nuo sighed.
"Even if you fall in love with that woman and you want to be with her...but do you really need to retire? Do you plan to only do lovemaking in your future life?"
Xicheng Xun's voice was not loud, but his tone was firm: "I don't think this is a reasonable reason."
As she spoke, she stared into Chen Nuo's eyes: "Don't say this is your private matter.
You are Yama, and we...
We have long been the ghosts around you.
Without Yama, how could it be possible for us ghosts, how could it be possible..."
After all, he still couldn't control his emotions, and Xicheng Xun's eyes turned red.
"Yes, even if you fall in love with that woman, do you have to retire?! Do you have to leave us?" Nivel looked at Chen Nuo excitedly, her voice trembling: "BOSS!!"
Chen Nuo was silent for a while, looked at everyone, then at the fox, and then at Li Yingwan who was crying next to her.
Finally, a sigh.
"Because...a special reason."
"What's the reason?!" Several girls asked at the same time.
Chen Nuo picked up the wine glass on the table, poured a glass, and drank it in one gulp.
After putting down the glass, Chen Nuo said the answer: "Because...she is dying. I don't want to do anything now. I just want to accompany her with all my strength and find a way to save her! Apart from that, don't
I won’t do anything like that again!”
Several girls stopped talking.
There is only one doubt in my mind.
The Queen of the Starry Sky... is about to die?!
·
"What happened that day ended like this." Xicheng Xun looked at Chen Nuo with a helpless tone: "What else can we do?
You fell in love with the Queen of the Starry Sky, and you wanted to be with her, and you also told us that the woman you loved was about to die, and you just wanted to be by her side, take care of her, and save her...
Is there any way we can deny or reject such a reason?
In fact, Firefly told me something later that this woman from South Korea has always been very perverted.
She told me that if you fall in love with another woman and want to retire for her.
She even plans to kill that woman even if she turns against you.
But when you said that she was almost dead...she could feel the sadness in your heart at that time.
So, she chose to give up.
So, after that night, we left, and everyone left helplessly.
You said you want to retire, but we have no choice.
In the next two years, you no longer contacted us and no longer asked about anything.
It's just that we still maintain a single line of communication with the fox,
I don't know about others, but I returned to Tokyo and bought a small martial arts gym. I even opened a small coffee shop.
In two years, I seemed to have returned to the life of an ordinary person.
But only I know that on many nights, I wanted to take off the knife on the wall countless times and take my own life.
I don't know what others think.
All I know is...the only person I care about in this world doesn't want me anymore and has left me."
Xicheng Xun's eyes turned red when he said this, but his tone became harder: "Do you know why we didn't die that time?
Because we are all cruel!
We are cruel to others and to ourselves!
We know very well, you said, that woman is dying!
Since she is dying, maybe we can wait!
Maybe, when she dies and your ridiculous love ends, you will come back!
Become Yama again for us ghosts!"
Having said this, the smile on Xicheng Xun's face became tough and cold, and she slowly raised two fingers.
"Two years! I have waited for two years, and others have also waited for two years!
In the past two years, we have received some news about you from Fox.
You accompany that woman and travel around the world on your boat.
You didn't know that Fox monitored your ship, right? She even hacked the satellites of several countries at any cost, just to know where you were and what you were doing.
You go to sea with that woman and travel around the world.
You even accompany her to fish for sharks.
You spent Carnival with her in South America.
You accompanied her in the Arctic to catch polar bears and watch the aurora.
You take her to Africa...
We all know this!
Then, you gradually lost news, and even the fox couldn't find you.
During those few months when we completely lost news of you, we all went crazy.
Li Yingwan took on nine assassination missions at once, and even went to war-torn areas.
That woman was a lunatic! When I saw her again later, I could smell the blood on her body from a long distance away!
And Hummingbird, she became more and more neurotic, she didn't believe anyone, she refused to have contact with any human beings, she locked herself in the manor and dismissed all the servants.
When I saw her later, I thought I saw a primitive person! She didn't even have a complete piece of clothing on her body, she was wearing a bearskin, you know?
And Fox, she was put on the wanted list by nine countries because she did not hesitate to infiltrate the official satellites of those countries in order to find your whereabouts!
If that period of time continues for a while longer, you will definitely not be able to see us.
We might all go crazy and die.
fortunately……
You finally showed up.
Just before we all went completely crazy, you finally showed up.
After receiving your summoning order again, we rushed over almost immediately.
Then, to my surprise, you brought Yu Naitang.
Naitangjiang...actually, I have no hostility toward her.
But, you told us that she is the disciple of that woman, and that woman is dead. She will join us...
We don't like her, really, we don't like her.
Even if she has no grudges against us, just because she is that woman's disciple, this reason is enough.
It's just that you want us to accept her joining, we will accept it.
Because we understand... at least, you are back!
Compared to the fact that you are back, nothing else in the world is important!"
·
Chen Nuo listened quietly to what Yu Naitang said.
His expression moved slightly.
Then, Chen Nuo sighed softly, leaned forward, and patted Xicheng Xun's thin shoulder hard.
"Actually... I should say sorry to you all.
Well, this is what I owe you.
But at that time... maybe I really had no other choice.
And...it may be too late to say I'm sorry now.
But, let’s talk.
I'm really sorry for you."
Xicheng Xun was shaken, her face was complicated, but her eyes were sad: "BOSS?
You... Actually, you also said these words to us when you came back.
You said you were sorry, but you had no other choice at the time..."
Chen Nuo frowned and scratched his hair: "Did I... say that?"
Then, he stared into Xicheng Xun's eyes and said something that surprised Xicheng Xun.
"Then...I'm really sorry.
Because...the experiences you mentioned, the things you said...
Now, I don't remember it at all.
To be precise, I seem to have lost the memory of those two years.
In 2007, I started my trip to Antarctica, and during that trip I got to know the deer Xixi.
In 2009, after the deer Xixi died, I returned to you...
The memories of the entire two years in between...
