Is it really the Ark of Tomorrow?

: Sleep

“No, how should I put it…it doesn’t seem to be what I imagined.”

Pushing the cart and walking in the dark alley, Li Lin said to the yawning Sui Xiang lying on the cart, with a confused expression on his face:

“I originally thought that this was the life I wanted. After all, this is the life I’ve always dreamed of. But now, I seem to feel that this kind of life makes me unmotivated.”

“yes?”

“That’s it.”

Turning the driver of the rattling car, Li Lin wandered aimlessly in the alleys of Longmen.

Although it looks like midnight, for some special practitioners, now is the time for them to start working.

Some tired-looking women were smoking long cigarettes, rolling their eyes numbly, staring at Li Lin who was pushing the cart. Some vicious-looking thugs squatted in the corner of the alley, lighting cigarettes, staring blankly at the twisted smoke under the lights.

There were also some weak and thin figures who kept wandering around the gates of other people’s yards, their faces full of longing, fear, and even a little fear as they watched Li Lin passing by pushing the cart. The last ones were those beggars who had nothing at all, curled up in the shadows due to illness and torture, wailing and panting indistinctly.

Compared to the relatively gentle corner of the dragon gate that he saw just now, Mo Yang at the edge of the sewer looks more like a real dragon gate.

But this is actually one-sided.

Prosperity and wealth are the dragon’s gate, adventure and freedom are the dragon’s gate, and today’s starvation and poverty are also the dragon’s gate.

Under the complex love and hatred involved in a city, the charm of a few people can easily be submerged in such a huge torrent.

Pushing the small cart through the streets, Li Lin finally arrived at a corner that looked deep and dark.

This is the hollow of the underground facilities in the lower urban area, which is close to the grassroots level. You can even vaguely hear the roar from the power zone at the bottom of the mobile city. Between the unfinished high-rise and the opened underground area collapsed a small room just right.

It’s as if this shack has been waiting for Li Lin, this just right dilapidated place is neither too cold nor too hot. Seeing such an empty and uncomfortable space, Li Lin nodded, and casually pulled out the shabby-looking quilt from the interlayer of the car.

And seeing Li Lin carrying the shabby quilt and starting to look up and down, Ling wiped the drink from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the man in surprise.

“You don’t really want to sleep in this kind of place, do you?”

“I just plan to sleep like this. Is there any problem?”

“Why is this?”

“Since I said that I escaped, I have to understand the feelings of these people. Compared with those who really escaped, my current conditions are already very good.”

Responding to the order, Li Lin looked at the square space, searched for a corner where the cold wind could not blow, stretched out his hand to spread out the old backrest and quilt, and stared at the simple bed in a daze. for a while.

Looking at Li Lin who was a little dazed, Ling who was squatting on the car shook his head, jumped down and tapped on the open space casually.

An iron drum with unknown burning inside, a small windshield area piled up with broken stones, and another torn bedding also appeared in this space.

After doing all this, Ling returned to her original blue dress with flowery arms, exquisite and glamorous. Seeing Li Lin who seemed to be in a daze, he directly pulled him over and pressed him on the worn-out quilt.

“If there is no heat source at night, even if there is no cold wind blowing, it is easy to die suddenly in sleep. Moreover, the wind-shielding area not only blocks the wind outside, but also prevents the heat inside from dissipating. It has been a long time since you Sleeping, these things are mostly forgotten, right?”

“……Feel sorry.”

“Why do you have to apologize to me? Now you are not seeking desire, but you have already died, and you are instinctively seeking to live.”

Looking at the dejected figure standing on the edge of the quilt, Ling looked at the bewildered person and said in a low voice:

“You are no longer the original you, even though you are still persistently pursuing the pastThe phantom of the past, but you know very well that you are no longer who you used to be. ”

“When I was young, I naturally liked beautiful people. I liked beautiful people. When I grew up, I became mature and hoped to find someone capable and supportive. When I was old, I only hoped that someone would accompany me on my journey.”

“And Li Lin, you go further, you don’t need anything anymore. You have died in your own cognition. What remains of you now is only an obsession, an idea. I would not say this is a mature expression , you are already too tired, and you have done too many things and thought too much, you should get some sleep.”

“……yes?”

Then go to sleep.

Looking at the extremely worn-out quilt on the ground, Li Lin sighed, sat down slowly, and got into the quilt.

It’s like peeling off the cocoon. Layers of abilities and concepts are being gradually stripped from Li Lin’s brain and body, and slowly reintegrated into the space.

The body that was blocked and driven gradually showed its truest appearance. The thin one can even clearly see the skeletal joints of the arms, the deeply sunken cheeks, the rugged breastbone and the almost black eye sockets.

After the last layer of sleepless protection was taken away by Li Lin, this huge figure suddenly fell into a deep sleep. Although he was still struggling on the surface, he kept his eyes open and shook his head. But under Ling’s gaze, accompanied by the crackling of the bonfire, the huge body finally fell down slowly.

“Sleep… sleep…”

You should also take a nap.

Looking at the figure slowly falling asleep in the old bedding and the bonfire of the iron barrel, a heartache flashed across Ling’s face, and he knelt down slowly on the edge, reaching out to stroke his cheek.

Under the reflection of the flickering flames, the figure that lost its ability and fell into a deep sleep was only in its twenties. For Vajvan, that’s not even the full-grown moment. The slightly immature face was full of tiredness and pain.

“I wish you a peaceful sleep.”

Facing the young man who was gradually curling up and seemed to be very insecure, Ling sighed slightly and bent down.

Countless light spots dissipated in the space, and the intoxicating mist gradually engulfed the entire area, absorbing all sound and light, leaving only a gentle moist feeling.
