Chapter 1011: Long-lost neighbor
Long-lost neighbor
Xie Yang is back.
It's hard to say if this is good news, but at least when Cheng Shi finished his trip to the archive and returned to the rest area to see this long-lost neighbor, he smiled.
Once a person completes a huge identity transformation, such as changing from a male university student who is "unemployed" upon graduation to a "mother," they become steady. Clearly, Xie Yang has become steady.
But Cheng Shi didn't make any comments on this, because he knew well that this wasn't a good joke, but an inescapable shadow in the other party's heart.
However, Xie Yang looked clearly like he had overcome these psychological shadows. His expression and demeanor were no different from before, and there was even a strange firmness in his eyes, firmer than when he was looking for his white moonlight.
Cheng Shi was very curious about what this 【War】 believer had experienced during these days, but he was troubled by not knowing how to open his mouth. Fortunately, Xie Yang spoke first.
He stood on the edge of the roof and waved enthusiastically at Cheng Shi:
"Buddy, I'm back!
Regardless of whether you deceived me or not, thank you again for saving me!"
Oh ho, so he knows my identity?
Also, the guise of a necromancer has been used for so long, it's time for it to become the past.
Cheng Shi smiled, also walked to the edge of the roof, looked across the building at this neighbor and said: "Where have you been gallivanting recently?"
Xie Yang's smile faded, his face became serious and said:
"Went to do a few meaningful things.
After experiencing so much, I finally found the meaning of my own existence, and finally figured out my positioning in this game.
Did too many stupid things when I was young, now it's time to make some compensation for the past self, and also contribute a share of repairing power to this broken world."
"......?"
Not buddy, I just asked casually, and you're directly giving me value-up?
Let alone what the situation of repairing the world is, are you talking about yourself two months ago when you say "when I was young"?
What's up, stopped playing simp literature and started playing awkward stuff?
Cheng Shi's mouth twitched, and he nodded in response:
"Very good, people should have some goals, otherwise it's easy to get into trouble from being idle.
But I'm still very curious, Xiao Li... was she saved back?"
Xie Yang had just found some feeling and wanted to express his feelings again, but hearing Cheng Shi ask about Xiao Li, his face collapsed instantly.
"No, my white moonlight finally left me far away."
"My condolences..."
"But A-Mian told me that people can't just dwell on the past, everything must look forward!" Xie Yang's smile became brilliant again.
"...... My ass!" Cheng Shi was stunned. He blinked rapidly, "A... Mian, who is that again?"
"She is my white moonlight!
Remember the beast tamer I told you about who once wanted to tame me?
He died!!
Just when my friends and I were besieging him, he accidentally died in a trial, and from then on, he never had a chance to do evil again.
And it was his death that allowed us to occupy his space and save many poor people who hadn't had time to be tamed from those perverted cages.
A-Mian is one of them. She is a particularly good girl, strong, brave, decisive, and most importantly, never gives up. She..."
Xie Yang had many praises, but Cheng Shi was completely speechless at this time.
It could be heard that A-Mian was indeed a very good girl, because the last time he heard this set of words was when the other party introduced Xiao Li, um, to be precise, when he introduced Xiao Li's corpse.
Not buddy, you've experienced so much, why can't you still let go of your abstract essence?
Thought this was a story of a "prodigal son returning," who would have thought the prodigal son didn't intend to return at all, and had a trend of directly hitting the south wall and breaking it.
"...... But A-Mian suffered too much mental trauma and hasn't adapted to the liberated life yet. I have to constantly comfort her and care for her, let her know that this world still has love and beauty!"
Cheng Shi's face twitched, looking at the opposite side with strange eyes:
"Is this what you call 'contributing a bit of repairing power to this broken world'?
Repairing it onto the window of a little girl's soul?"
Speaking of this, Xie Yang's face stiffened again: "Of course not! Repairing the world is the cause I will struggle for all my life, and A-Mian is the love I will persist in. How can they be confused!"
Although the other party's words were still full of slots, Cheng Shi still heard some clues from them.
This Xie Yang seems to have really found a direction to struggle for, but this thing about repairing the world... how is the sense of déjà vu so strong?
"Right!" Xie Yang put away his firm demeanor, took out a broken experimental manuscript from his personal space, and threw it toward Cheng Shi.
Cheng Shi was taken aback, took the manuscript and flipped through two pages, um, don't recognize it.
He pursed his lips and looked at the other party. Xie Yang understood and said:
"Buddy, no matter what, without your rescue, there wouldn't be the reborn me today.
This is an experimental manuscript I collected in the 0221 experimental field. I'm not sure if it's useful to you, but I think things that can make the Great Marshal and Da Yi fight for them should be a bit useful."
"?"
Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "How about it, did you snatch this from the hands of those two?"
"Doesn't count..." Xie Yang hesitated and didn't choose to lie, "Originally wanted to snatch it. They found the manuscript one step ahead of me, but they gave up the contention for the manuscript when they knew I was preparing a thank-you gift for you.
If you feel this manuscript is not enough, I can still..."
"Enough, of course enough. Having this heart is very good." Cheng Shi smiled brilliantly on his face, but in his heart, he was thinking it would be even better if he could say what this was.
From just now, he had been asking Brother Mouth what this manuscript recorded, but Brother Mouth just ignored him. Helplessly, Cheng Shi had to put it aside first, and wait until he saw the Doctor and the others to ask which of 0221's experimental manuscripts this was.
Thought this short neighbor exchange was about to end here, Cheng Shi had many things to think about, and Xie Yang had A-Mian to take care of, but just as Cheng Shi was about to turn around, Xie Yang suddenly called him and said something inexplicable again:
"Buddy... I know you are a good person."
"?"
"You... forget it, I'm a straightforward person, so I'll just say it. Since you were willing to save those experimental subjects trapped by 0221 at that time, then now, have you ever thought about saving more people?"
Cheng Shi frowned, feeling that his constitution of attracting associations was starting to take effect again.
He looked at Xie Yang and shook his head with a laugh:
"So, which organization's invitation is this again?"
"It is...
Sorry, I can't say yet, but as long as you have this idea, join us, no, it should be join them with me, and then we can work together to repair this broken world."
"And then?"
"Ah?" Xie Yang blinked blankly.
Cheng Shi snorted and laughed:
"I mean, repair the world and then what? Repair the broken pasture grazed by the gods into a complete pasture?
Since they are all pastures, what is the meaning of repairing or not?"
"Of course there is meaning!" Xie Yang straightened his back and said seriously, "Without repair, there will never be completeness. Besides, repair is a means, not an end. When the weeds in the pasture grow wildly and cover the sky, who can guarantee that the sky of this pasture won't change!?"
So it was them?
They actually found Xie Yang?
Cheng Shi frowned, thinking that by their standards, wasn't Xie Yang's love history a bit too flawed?
Of course, it's also possible that he guessed wrong, but no matter what, at least this 【War】 believer was walking on a difficult road that made people admire.
"Good idea, hope we can wait for that day."
Saying that, Cheng Shi turned and left.
Looking at the neighbor's back, Xie Yang's eyes became firmer.
