After Dawn Chapter 78: The rest of my life (end)

In the early morning, Rhett woke up at a fixed time. He turned his head and looked at the watch by the bedside. It was six thirty, not much, not much. His life has always been so regular and fixed, even when it comes to getting up, and since he can remember, he doesn't seem to have overslept.

But since he woke up today, he felt something was wrong.

He pressed his temples, carefully recalling everything that happened yesterday, and replaying the picture frame by frame in his mind like a videotape, but did not find any abnormality.

He remembered that he went to the laboratory as usual, and then processed the data brought up by the research institute. In the afternoon, he sat at the table as usual, and read the unfinished story for the eternal life the day before, when it was time to eat Leave at dinner time.

Every detail is magnified in his mind, nothing strange.

Swiped the door card and came to the laboratory, a familiar female voice came: "Welcome, Mr. Reid."

"Eternal life, how was yesterday?"

"Not bad." This is Eternal Life's usual answer.

He still felt something was wrong. He subconsciously looked at the surrounding environment, which was no different from what he remembered. The table and chairs were exactly the same as when he left yesterday. He walked over, took out a book from the bookshelf, and sat next to the table. He opened the book but didn't know where his eyes landed.

He suddenly raised his head, and there seemed to be a young girl staring with her cheeks supported. Her eyes were bright and dazzling, in the darkness, like the morning light outside the window that did not fall in.

……

As soon as Qing Ran returned to the mission space, she fell into an embrace.

Before she had time to struggle, the words that fell in her ears made her lose her strength. She reached out and hugged the person who came, then put her head on his shoulder: "Jiang Jin."

Jiang Jin's shoulders are broad and warm, and the black dress is just right soft, Qing Ran hugged his waist tightly, wishing to embed herself in his body.

"How did you show up."

Jiang Jin did not speak. Qing Ran is not blaming or questioning, she is just suffering, she has traveled one world after another, seen a series of relationships, and her beloved is in a place she can't find.

"I'm sorry." He rested his head on top of hers and could only hold her silently.

Qing Ran did not answer. Neither of the two of them is sorry for the other, but each other's identities make this love too hard.

"Jiang Jin, don't let me forget you." Qing Ran said, "No matter what, let me remember you, I don't want to forget like Reid."

"No," Jiang Jin murmured, "there will never be that day, trust me."

……

Jiang Jin didn't stay in the mission space for too long, and soon disappeared again as if he suddenly appeared. Qing Ran looked at the empty mission space, there was nothing missing, there was no Jiang Jin, only her in the huge space One person, an unprecedented sense of loneliness struck.

She clutched her chest, feeling a dull pain inside.

I don't know when these days will come to an end.

The picture of the last mission world has not disappeared, and there is still Rhett's figure in it. He is like a machine that has been wound up. He works and rests at a fixed time every day. He does similar work. The expressions on his face seem to be exactly the same. He rarely smiles, but every afternoon he still works at a fixed time In time, read for eternal life.

Qing Ran doesn't know why she doesn't want to close the window of this world.

She looked at Reid's face a little bit old, and suddenly remembered the words of immortality, maybe it was the right choice to let Reid forget her, and immortality had the experience of that day, maybe it was only for her it's the best. If she maintains her love for Rhett, but sees her beloved getting old day by day, she has no way of doing it. She was only able to accompany her for two hundred years, what a cruel thing.

Rid is sitting in front of Eternal Life. This will be his last contact with Eternal Life. The Institute has dispatched another person who has obtained Eternal Life permission from elsewhere to take over his work, although Eternal Life's operation permission is extremely difficult to obtain. , but in the screening based on all human beings, there will always be a few smart people who have obtained this qualification. Although he is the earliest batch, he is not the only one.

The leap of his fingers on the keyboard is still flexible. Although he can't change the fact that he is getting old, he can delay the degree of physical weakness, but he knows that this is the number of days he can continue to endure. not much. Once his vital function reaches the limit, his body, which was originally only slowly exhausted, will quickly wither in just a few days, until death.

He enters a document deftly, when suddenly his fingers rest on the keyboard.

Because he found something unexpected.

Permissions from another person.

"Is it difficult?"

"Am I a normal person?"

A girl's voice sounded in his mind, but Rhett couldn't remember it.

He subconsciously asked: "Eternal life, can you tell me who this authority comes from?"

Eternal life didn't answer for a long time. Just when Rhett thought she wouldn't answer, he heard her somewhat puzzled voice.

"Although it may seem strange to you to say this," she said, "this authority does come from me."

"Why?" Rhett's voice was dry.

Yongsheng explained: "Although I can't remember this operation, this permission is indeed obtained by myself, because the permissions you have obtained are all distributed through my measurement of your abilities, but this permission is the highest. , and imposed by myself."

"It's weird..."

Ryder suddenly slumped into the chair.

Many images began to flash through his mind.

Qing Ran saw his lips open and close. Although he couldn't hear the sound, he could see the name he shouted through the shape of his lips - eternal life.

Although Eternal Life uses Qingran's identity and Qingran's name to enter the research institute, it is just a code name. Those who love her will know what is hidden in that virtual body. a soul.

Qing Ran couldn't bear it. She tapped her fingertips on the screen, and then the events that happened that day were infused into Rhett's mind in the form of memories.

She knew she was breaking the rules, but she didn't know where the courage came from, making her feel like it was the right thing to do.

The sudden picture hit Reid's mind, and he curled up on the ground in pain, accepting this memory that belongs to eternal life.

"Can you start here?"

Qing Ran heard his answer.

"It's an honor."

The afterglow of the sunset fell on him, Reid stopped struggling, he raised his head hard, and looked out the window.

"...In the past time, my memory is getting worse and worse, often forgetting many people and forgetting many things. I look in the mirror and my face becomes ugly like a withering petal, and In my memory, her appearance is still the same as in the past. I can even remember the first time I saw her, when she smiled, the shallow pear eddies on her cheeks, and the faint light in her eyes, bright and bright. It's warm and shines into my heart at once. My life is about to come to an end, but I don't feel sad, because I know that in another world, there are people I love."

My beloved, forgive me for thinking of you at the end of my life.

Qing Ran lightly touches the screen, and the mission world belonging to immortality turns into black and white. If you look closely, you can find that Rhett in the picture has turned into fly ash.

This is the price she paid for helping Reid think of immortality. People who came into contact with the main **** space, unless a tasker like Qingran, faced the price of ashes.

But she thought it was the right thing to do.

Because she saw Rhett's last smile, she was happy and satisfied.

This memory, two people who love each other, each can only keep less than a day, but everyone is willing to pay all the price for it.

What is love? For Immortality and Rhett, love is the willingness to use everything in your power to remember every minute of your time with you.

……

"What does it feel like?" In the darkness, two people stood opposite each other, and one asked.

"I can't tell," the other replied, looking a little dazed.

……

Qing Ran woke up in a jolt.

"Are you awake?" a cold voice asked. She followed the voice, but only saw a pair of black eyes. The woman's face was hidden under the black cloth, and she looked through her eyes. To disgust and disdain.

Qing Ran didn't want to talk to her, but just turned her head and looked at the surrounding environment. It was in a very narrow space, like a box, according to the sound of the reel from outside, and the constant shaking , she speculated that she should be inside a closed carriage, and the only source of light and fresh air was the three finger-sized holes next to the woman in black. In fact, it looks like those three holes were directly penetrated by people's fingers.

She moved her body and was not tied, but she could feel a burst of weakness and her head was dizzy. She thought that she had been ingested with medicine, and her stomach was empty. Qing Ran guessed that her weakness at this time should not only Only because of the drugs, but also because of hunger.

She looked at the woman sitting across from her. The woman's clothes were clean and her eyes were clear. Obviously, she was not a prisoner like her, so in all likelihood she was her watcher.

"I'm hungry," she said, staring at the woman.

There was a touch of disgust and contempt in the woman's eyes, but she didn't speak, just turned her eyes in another direction.

"I'm hungry." Qing Ran repeated again.

The woman remains motionless.

"I'm just a servant, what qualifications do you have to show your face to me?" Qing Ran said, the corners of his lips curved slightly, with just the right sarcasm.

"You!" The woman turned her head fiercely, reached out her hand and grabbed her collar, Qing Ran was caught off guard and was dragged over, she coughed with shortness of breath, her face turned pale in an instant, The moving carriage suddenly stopped, and she hit the woman in black. Before fainting, she heard a loud male voice saying, "Jueyan, what are you doing?"
