2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

"We walked around the village several times and didn't find anything strange. When I called you, you didn't respond. So I thought about boarding the equipment and looking at the detection records. I found that there were no suspicious reports at all, so I thought it was It’s not that Team Xing made a mistake. Then as soon as we gathered together, we planned to come back to see the situation..."

Chang'an looked around at the scattered corpses around him and swallowed: "It turned out that something big happened."

Xing Xiuxian said expressionlessly: "They will tell you the details of this matter. You don't have to worry about anything now. Go back to the guest house first."

"Go back to the guest house first?" Wei Min was shocked and even began to think that the other party was a little unreasonable.

A dozen people died at the grandest sacrificial banquet in a village. It was explosive news no matter where it was placed. He didn't understand how the other party could remain calm under such circumstances.

And the most bizarre thing is that Xing Xiuxian, Yan Muyun and Ye Buyu were clearly present, but watched the entire tragedy, which is really incomprehensible.

Sensing the looks that Wei Min and Yan Long were looking at, Yan Muyun shook his head helplessly: "This matter is very complicated. I will explain it to you later."

Seeing that he had said this, the two of them could not continue to insist, so they could only suppress the surprise in their hearts.

"So...you don't have a brother?" Yan Muyun looked at Chang'an.

"I do." Three identical figures suddenly appeared next to Chang'an: "We are quadruplets, the eldest brother grows out, the second brother grows in, the third brother grows up, I am Chang'an..."

Needless to say, this guy is also a big-hearted boss with no bounds, and he can still make jokes to this day.

"I should have guessed it earlier." Yan Muyun held his forehead.

Chang'an once served as Zhang Xiaotian's tutor. This clue alone is enough to guess something.

What is Zhang Xiaotian’s superpower?

Doppelgänger.

Chang'an was proactively hired as a tutor. If he wanted to tutor in normal subjects, the Zhang family's financial resources could not hire any teacher, so why hire a college student who had not yet graduated.

So it is conceivable that Chang'an's superpower is most likely also a clone.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaotian seemed to have used his clones to play tricks on them at the beginning, but now that he thought about it, it turned out that he was the one who led them astray.

"My power is that I can summon clones anywhere within a hundred meters, so sometimes it looks like teleportation. Unlike Zhang Xiaotian's clone ability, my clones are all fake and have no heartbeat. Breathe, and it can last for about five hours at most before you need to summon it again..."

Halfway through the words, Chang An's expression suddenly changed slightly and his brows furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Wei Min noticed something strange about him.

"Maybe he drank rice wine." Yan Muyun sighed.

"How do you... know..." Chang An slowly turned his head to look at Yan Long.

Yan Long spread his hands to indicate that he was not the one who told the secret.

"Someone put laxatives in the wine. It's pretty impressive that you can persist until now and react." Yan Muyun explained.

Changan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but as his stomach growled, he turned around and ran outside the venue without hesitation, leaving only one sentence: "No, I can't."

Having such an unobtrusive guy livens up the atmosphere and makes the surrounding air a little more relaxed.

"Then let's go back first?" Wei Min asked.

"You can stay if you want, but don't interfere in anything else." Xing Xiuxian said calmly.

Behind a table not far from a few people, Ye Buyu and Mrs. Liu were sitting side by side, and they were talking about something.

Seeing Xing Xiuxian coming over, Mrs. Liu stood up as if she had seen a savior and said, "Xiao Xing, is that young man who pushed me down just now really okay?"

Xing Xiuxian's voice became softer: "It's okay, Mom, he is a dummy, and the real owner was not harmed at all."

"That's good...that's good..." Mrs. Liu had a reassuring smile on her face.

Ye Buyu on the side was a little helpless. She had said the same thing three or four times, but it was of no use. But Xing Xiuxian just said this indifferently, and the old lady was completely relieved.

Ye Buyu looked at the corpses of the surrounding villagers and couldn't help but feel curious. What on earth did these people do to make such a kind old man miss him for so long? I would rather live in such a remote place for nearly ten years than kill them all.

"Xiao Xing...take me to your dad's place, okay?"

Old Mrs. Liu stretched out her hand tremblingly and pointed at the lonely figure sitting cross-legged on the high platform.

When Chang'an caught her before, she bumped when she landed, which caused some pain in her back. It was a little difficult to walk at this time.

Xing Xiuxian took off the ability suppressor. Ye Buyu didn't stop him, but just reached out and took it.

Xing Xiuxian nodded, bent down and carried Mrs. Liu on his back, and then walked towards the high platform.

Yan Muyun came to Ye Buyu's side and asked softly: "Is this really what you want?"

"For her, this may be the best ending." The girl pursed her lips.

When she was alone just now, she heard the old lady's voice.

The content may be a little confusing due to Alzheimer's disease, but the gist is still very clear.

I have avenged my daughter, and the energy I have held for more than ten years is released. In addition, her wife who had been by her side for decades was gone, and it was impossible for her to continue living.

"Don't they have a son?" Yan Muyun asked.

Ye Buyu gave him a strange look: "Who do you think their son is?"

Yan Muyun realized later: "Oh..."

Xing Xiuxian had already carried Old Mrs. Liu onto the high platform and came to Old Man Liu's side.

"Xiao Xing." Old man Liu raised his eyelids and glanced at him.

"Who do you think you are now?" Xing Xiuxian said lightly.

"After such a long time, my consciousness has actually become clearer, but I still want to die." Old Man Liu sighed: "You humans' emotions are too complicated."

"Old Liu Tou, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Liu tilted her head slightly and narrowed her eyes.

Old man Liu smiled: "Your mother's condition seems to be getting worse, and her brain is getting more and more unclear."

Xing Xiuxian's expression remained serious: "So, should I kill you directly?"

"Of course you should. You are from the Special Branch and I am a mutant. Your job is to kill me."

Old Man Liu stood up slowly. His body was not like that of an old man at all: "But before that, let me 'eat' her. It is their common wish to be buried together after death."

Xing Xiuxian's fists were clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

He originally thought he had looked past all this, but when something was about to happen before his eyes, he found that his rotten heart could still squeeze out a few drops of blood.

Mrs. Liu seemed to have noticed something, and stretched out her hand to hold his face: "Xiao Xing, you should be happy...because our wish has come true."

"yes."

"If you can't bear it, then turn your head." Old man Liu said softly.

So Xing Xiuxian turned around and walked towards the shrine.

He opened the tulle that was fluttering in the wind, moved the statue of the goddess in Luo Yi with fairy aura closer to him, and then sat down cross-legged.

"it's all over."

Xing Xiuxian stretched out his hand to touch the goddess's face. Where his fingertips brushed, orange-red sparks dissipated in the breeze, and a delicate female face gradually emerged in his palm.

No need to pull out photos or even reminisce.

This face would appear in his dreams every day, and it had been carved deep into his soul by his own hands.

"That's great, just like Xiaoyou." This is the voice of Mrs. Liu

Xing Xiuxian did not look back, but stretched out his hand again and carved the words "Liu Youhe" on the base of the stone statue.

After writing the last stroke, he turned around.

Old man Liu and Mrs. Liu stood together hand in hand with kind smiles on their faces.

"Do you want to see her again?" the two old men said at the same time.

Xing Xiuxian's breathing suddenly became heavy, and countless voices were shouting in his heart, almost overwhelming his reason.

But he finally took a deep breath and shook his head: "No."

"good."

The bodies of Old Man Liu and Old Mrs. Liu gradually merged into one, and finally turned into a gel-like sphere, which slowly fell into Xing Xiuxian's hands.
