    Or Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreamed of Zhuang Zhou

    【Overthrow, Reshape】

    “You agreed?”

    In the pale reality, Shen Molin raised his head and looked at Qi Ruiqing with his frighteningly pale face.

    “Not yet, otherwise we would have left here long ago.”

    “Oh… yes.” Shen Molin closed his eyes and looked at him again, “Then do you want to agree?”

    “I want to hear your opinion.”

    Qi Ruiqing used his blue tail to hold himself upright. He was the only color here – pure blue, no red blood.

    “Are you undecided?” Shen Molin’s voice was too soft, and there was clearly only forced tenderness left in his words, “What conditions did they offer?”

    The distortion of the lower limbs started from Qi Ruiqing’s lower body. It was very strange and very long.His tail curled around Shen Molin’s wrist, and the touch was extremely cold.

    “He didn’t say anything. He only said that he could ask the higher authorities to satisfy us in terms of food, clothing, housing, transportation, policies and regulations.”

    “But this is just a general talk…” Shen Molin was unable to complain, so she asked him again, “Then do you have any requests that you want to be fulfilled?”

    “I said I wanted them to get out immediately and never bother us again.”

    So there is nothing here.

    Qi Ruiqing took a deep breath: “We need to talk to them, right?”

    Indeed.

    This alcohol is really a mistake.Shen Molin thought, his head hurt, and he couldn’t remember where he was.

    “We’re not in a dream now, are we?”

    Qi Ruiqing chuckled and shook his head.

    “I…” Shen Molin held her forehead and covered her eyes with the tips of her hair, “I don’t know what request to make…I…can’t even think logically…”

    He wanted to blow the cool breeze, the moist wind, to blow away the turbidity.

    So the autumn wind flowed through his broken wings, reminding him of the freedom to still fly.

    “Ruiqing, is it autumn?”

    Yes, the vines all over the wall have turned yellow and withered, and the weather has become colder and colder.Migratory birds flocked to the south, and rooters built winter nests.But they can neither get out of the disaster area, nor miss a hotbed with nowhere to go.

    “Ruiqing…I can’t let you do anything for me anymore…I can do those evil things, but you can’t.”

    Well, why?Qi Ruiqing looked at him silently.

    “Because…you should obviously be a good boy and a doctor…”

    It’s like this. Qi Ruiqing is a gentle person and a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded.

    “Okay, Qi Ruiqing didn’t kill anyone.” So he lowered his eyes and admitted, “Neither did Shen Molin.”

    “Because of that, they understood our painstaking efforts and wanted to talk to us.”

    Oh…maybe reasonable.

    “Then let’s talk…” Shen Molin sighed.

    But how to talk about it?

    “I want to hear your opinion.” Qi Ruiqing stretched out his hand and told him, “You can think about it slowly.”

    Good…

    “First of all… let’s go together, preferably at night. The meeting location must be remote, such as a small room, and the power must be cut off.”

    Then the surroundings darkened, and only Qi Ruiqing’s snake pupils shone like burning silver.

    Who do you want to talk to?Qi Ruiqing asked.

    “The person to talk to must be…”

    Shen Molin thought of a person he had met who was related to Qi Ruiqing.

    “It’s better to just have that soldier.”

    So the captain stood nervously in an empty room with a serious face.

    Next is the content, let’s take our time.What do you think “harmony” is?Qi Ruiqing is good at teaching.

    and……?

    “Talk about harmony” is okay, but “talk about peace” is not – who knows if the definition of “harmony” is “surrender” that has been tampered with by them?

    “Surrender”?That is also surrender, that is also a defeated army, and it can be completely equated to “war criminals” and “prisoners”.Mutable mutants are not belongings, although they are indeed not “citizens” in every sense of the word…

    On the point of “peace”, Shen Molin’s attitude must be tougher – no creature will have a good look on someone who has bombed him with a grenade, and he cannot live up to the resistance of betraying Qi Ruiqing.

    “You misunderstood, our ‘peace’ is ‘peace’, not ‘concede’. What we want is to seek common ground while reserving differences, and to avoid mutual harm.” So the captain immediately explained, “Don’t be nervous, okay?”

    Next is: Shen Molin, why do you think they asked for peace?Qi Ruiqing prompted.

    “In order to avoid the spread of panic…” Shen Molin tried his best to mobilize the knowledge of social management, “and…to deal with this temporarily uncontrollable expanding energy…”

    “Yes,” the captain expressed the appeal of the higher-ups in society, “We hope to cooperate and apply the black hole theory of thinking.”

    “But what about other than these?” Shen Molin shook his head helplessly, “They must also want to use this to imprison for research…”

    Shh.So Qi Ruiqing’s hand gently covered his mouth.

    “We are not guinea pigs, we are researchers. I will share my results to help control the distortion phenomenon. I also hope to get your technical support and avoid unnecessary communication barriers. Just like we are in the same boat, cooperation should be candid.”

    Qi Ruiqing smiled and told him: “Be confident, we have the strength to compete with them.”

    That’s…certainly.

    “That’s it.” Shen Molin agreed.

    So the captain began to promise: “We will not do anything to you that may endanger your physical or mental health.”

    Then there is life.We can make one more request, right?Qi Ruiqing encouraged Shen Molin.

    But the most beautiful life Shen Molin dreamed of… only existed in the brief time she and Qi Ruiqing returned home.

    “Home…” What on earth is that?Shen Molin didn’t dare to be vague, because it was his and Qi Ruiqing’s home, not just his.

    Shen Molin, do you want a clean environment?

    Um.

    Do you want a supply of food?

    Um.

    Do you want basics like water, electricity and gas?

    Um.

    We can also ask for some good soft furnishings.

    Hmm…

    Best of all, it can also meet our daily entertainment and scientific research needs.

    This is…

    Shen Molin looked around at this comfortable, luxurious house. He felt that it looked familiar.

    He remembered that this was the home where he and Qi Ruiqing used to live together.

    “How is it?” Qi Ruiqing seemed very satisfied… Is he still nostalgic for his youth?

    Has it passed…

    “How could they provide us with such a place to live?” he asked Qi Ruiqing.

    “Yeah…”

    So the big nest shrunk into a small nest, and the hotel-style decoration became more realistic.

    “You only want this?” Qi Ruiqing seemed a little disappointed.

    “I’m satisfied.” Shen Molin said frankly, “This makes me feel at ease.”

    “Okay…” Qi Ruiqing could only improve other details, “That’s it…”

    That’s it?

    “No, maybe it shouldn’t be like this…Are they really going to let us go free?”

    Of course not, because this will only cause greater panic.They will definitely send people to monitor us and monitor us all the time.They must be waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to kill us, and we who have relaxed our vigilance have no time to resist.

    “Perhaps we shouldn’t make peace. It’s too aggressive.” Shen Molin hesitated, “We should be born in sorrow. We cannot become caged birds because of temporary happiness.”

    He looked around the shelter, anxiously trying to find a hidden surveillance camera.

    “Light tubes, sockets, remote controls, there may be cameras hidden in these places. I should also learn about firearms immediately to avoid head-on conflicts…”

    “This won’t happen.” Facing his back on the bed, Qi Ruiqing assured him to calm down.

    “Why?” He looked back at the cunning look in the snake spirit’s eyes.

    Qi Ruiqing’s tail supported him forward, silently and smoothly pushing this smile that seemed to hide a secret in front of Shen Molin.

    “Because I can’t do what I said.”

    He pushed Shen Molin’s chest with his hand, and Shen Molin fell down on the bed.

    “…Eh?” Shen Molin put his arms back and looked up at him in confusion, “Isn’t this reality?”

    Yes.

    “I can negotiate. What you are worried about, they have already made a guarantee.”

    Are they really willing to give in?

    “Shen Molin…” Qi Ruiqing’s expression was subtle. He slowly approached Shen Molin and put his arm on his shoulder.

    “This is reality, it’s all true.” The tail wrapped around Shen Molin’s waist from behind, “But they don’t dare to treat us like you said.”

    “Have you forgotten? You have the ability to use the laws of all things to your advantage.”

    Shen Molin frowned slightly because this sentence was not very rigorous…

    Since this is reality…

    “Shen Molin, believe me.” Qi Ruiqing suddenly became gloomy, “I didn’t lie to you.”

    “Are you going to doubt me again?”

    The spreading pupils dimmed, and in the dark vision, Shen Molin saw the spiraling stairs.

    Macroscopic high latitude defines the majority of “nature”, but probability theory also proves infinite “inclusion”.

    What he wants to say is: Even if the probability of the Kaminqiu’a snail being left-handed is less than one percent, once it exists, it is reasonable.

    “I believe it.”

    What’s more, how could he doubt Qi Ruiqing?This is not a joke!

    “This is reality, right?” “Well, I said it.”

    Shen Molin decided not to ask again.He hugged Qi Ruiqing and fell back on the bed together.

    “I can’t even remember what happened before.” “It’s okay, it’s okay.”

    He didn’t even know the soldier’s last name.

    “His surname is Yan, and I always call him Captain Yan. He has a strong sense of justice. In the previous encounters, he always advocated communication to solve problems.”

    Oh… I don’t know.Shen Molin only remembered the ingredient ratio of the plate of vegetarian meat.

    Among them, the content of soybean protein is the highest, which confirms that this kind of meat is made of soybeans; the protein structure has changed many times, and is compounded with oil, and has obviously been puffed and fried; edible alfalfa is the most important and richest seasoning, and in addition, five-spice powder is specially used to cover up the beany smell…

    “Shen Molin, do you want to eat?”

    Qi Ruiqing had already gotten up from his body and opened the door.Shen Molin crawled out of his thoughts, sat up and saw the lunch box delivered on the small table.

    “The captain just came to deliver food.”

    That’s two box lunches.

    Shen Molin tapped his forehead hard with the heel of his palm: “Can I eat it?”

    “I don’t know…are you willing to give it a try?” Qi Ruiqing handed him the chopsticks.

    Give it a try…

    But Shen Molin had no appetite—including the desire for knowledge.The overflowing energy of the unconscious watched itself die without any hindrance.

    The barbs on the disposable chopsticks pierced his fingers, and the sobs stuck in his throat made his heart feel heavy.

    But the heart… actually has no heart.

    “Qi Ruiqing, how did you enter my body that time?” He suddenly asked Qi Ruiqing in a low voice.

    “Um?” Qi Ruiqing was about to use his chopsticks, “Which… time?”

    “That’s it…” He slowly raised his eyes to look at him, “Before entering the black hole…”

    “Um, why do you suddenly ask this?”

    It seems I shouldn’t ask this.

    “I just…” Shen Molin lowered his head, slightly loosened his fingers on the chopsticks, and touched his chest with the slender tool.

    “Think of…one thing.”

    The buttons on the collar were unbuttoned one by one, and Qi Ruiqing also worriedly moved closer.

    “Do you want to do it again?” Qi Ruiqing sat in front of him with her knees bent, her posture as graceful and gentle as the daughter of the sea.

    “No…” Shen Molin shook his head, “I remember the last time, that’s about it.”

    Qi Ruiqing touched his heart, bringing a sticky feeling, and then Shen Molin seemed to lose consciousness.When he woke up a little, Qi Ruiqing had already come in.

    So just like that, he picked up Qi Ruiqing’s hand and let him touch his “heart”.

    “I was so seriously injured, my internal organs were damaged, and my bones were broken,” he whispered, “But Qi Ruiqing, where is the blood I shed?”

    “You’re bleeding.”

    But the blood was quickly drawn back from the wound.This is not only because of Qi Ruiqing’s ability, but also because of some… physical properties similar to backflow, and the uncontrollable instinct of going upstream.

    Qi Ruiqing remained silent.

    “Then, have you ever observed my insides?” Shen Molin probed, “At that time, in the past.”

    “In…” Qi Ruiqing avoided his gaze, “‘our’ past is not there yet.”

    So, what about the past that was not ‘our’?

    Tsk.Qi Ruiqing tsked in boredom, helplessness, and evasion, then turned around and looked at him seriously, sincerely, but sadly: “‘We’ are us.”

    Really?

    Shen Molin let go of Qi Ruiqing’s wrist and laughed weakly.

    “I think, I think I am Shen Molin.”

    Humans pride themselves on being a noble species that “knows how to use tools”, and the tightly held chopsticks are similar to a dagger held in reverse.

    “I know I am Shen Molin, but I…”

    Still want to be more like that.

    The axial symmetry midline of the human body, the lower half of the sternum, and the midpoint of the line connecting the two breasts.Here is the location of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

    He stabbed hard, using the blunt tip of the chopstick to penetrate the skin.

    “Shen Molin!” Qi Ruiqing was frightened and immediately held his hand, “Don’t…”

    “There won’t be blood.” Shen Molin said calmly, “You know, I didn’t…”

    Shen Molin is just…a skin.

    “But you will always feel pain…”

    The two wooden sticks slid down and moved like scalpels.

    “What does this pain mean?”

    After all, everything has a price.

    “Qi Ruiqing, I beg you.”

    If you want the favor of God’s favor, you must show your matching faith——

    Since Qi Ruiqing loves me so much and thinks that I am Shen Molin, then I must respond, so that I can truly become “Shen Molin”.

    It held up Qi Ruiqing’s hand reverently and clasped his fingers from the back of the hand: “I want the human heart.”

    “Shen, Mo, Lin!” Qi Ruiqing looked at him in shock, “It’s not important, I accept whatever you are!”

    “Oh…if you don’t want to, forget it…” “It’s not that I don’t want to, I just don’t understand! You obviously have your own way of survival, so why bother to imitate it…”

    “It’s always different…” he said discouragedly.

    “Why should you be like everyone else? You are you, you are a species different from human beings, you are unconventional, unique, and unique…”

    “But that’s not someone else, that’s your…lover.”

    Qi Ruiqing’s eyes widened.He was stunned, doubtful, shocked, and unable to accept it.

    “You…”

    He looked at Shen Molin’s face carefully.Is that Shen Molin?

    “Tell me…” His voice trembled, “Would twenty-eight-year-old Shen Molin choose this way?”

    …don’t know.

    Both the twenty-year-old Shen Molin and the twenty-eight-year-old Shen Molin are already dead, right?

    People cannot imagine things beyond their cognition, and those that cannot be imitated can only settle for the next best thing.

    “…Okay.”

    The attending physician’s hands must not shake.

    “Say it again…” He and the guiding hand groped into the chaos together.

    I want the heart.

    As a result, something sticky gathered in Qi Ruiqing’s hand: cardiomyocytes, endocardium, epicardium, sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, atrioventricular valve, aortic valve…

    Shen Molin’s body trembled a little, like his heartbeat, and the pulsating feeling made him feel hot all over.

    I want lungs.

    Therefore, the upper ends of the lung lobes are rounded, the trachea, the left and right main tracheae, the bronchioles, the terminal bronchioles, the respiratory bronchioles, the alveolar ducts…

    Shen Molin opened his mouth involuntarily, breathing moist air into his body.

    I want my stomach…

    As a result, the hollow cavity was rubbed out by Qi Ruiqing’s fingertips like a clay sculpture, including the cardia, fundus of the stomach, body of the stomach, pylorus…

    Sour taste, that’s stomach acid.The feeling of being touched on the inside of the stomach wall is really unpleasant, a little ripple can turn the world upside down.Shen Molin gritted his teeth, but the conditioned reflex of retching still came over him.

    I…want…intestine…

    Therefore, the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon, rectum and anal canal, these delicate ropes have fragile feelings, and at the bottom edge of this nearly ten-meter rock climbing, the exit is almost there.

    Shen Molin’s hand has fallen, and Qi Ruiqing’s expression has become more relaxed and no longer reserved.He arranged it and coiled the nine and eighteen bends into Shen Molin’s body bit by bit.

    His hand touched the bottom layer of the hollow, and then said: “We should start from the bottom…so that the top one will not fall.”

    Shen Molin was speechless.

    “I’ll fill in the others later.”

    Shen Molin’s body fell down like a clock hand running backwards.

    “Shen Molin, are you okay?”

    He couldn’t tell whether it was good or bad, he couldn’t describe it.

    If I had to say it… it would be like “learning”… an instilling satisfaction.

    It was the same as the purest desire, the same as when he was hunting.

    “Ah…blood.”

    The sheets were soaked.

    But the ceiling was still very white. He opened his arms, waited for Qi Ruiqing to finish, and then climbed up from his lap.

    But he seemed to be unable to feel it.

    The closer he is to “living”, the closer he is to death.He understands this and accepts the uncertainty.

    At least he died as a “human” “Shen Molin”.

    Ah…………

    “Shen Molin.”

    He suddenly wondered, was this “lust” that was not clearly written in the book?.

    “Wake up.”

    Red light is pure color light at 615-620 nanometers.His blood was that color, but its taste was not.

    He thought of the fish bubbles of a kind of fish and the smell of trimethylamine.That’s what they smell like now – all over their bodies.

    There was also a thick, stimulating and addictive taste in his mouth.

    “Shen Molin, wake up.”

    Qi Ruiqing held his face and blew into his mouth, waking up Shen Molin.

    “I’m done.” He said softly to Shen Molin, “Look, are you happy?”

    On his hands, the sticky blood touched Shen Molin’s face.

    “Happy…”

    When Qi Ruiqing saw him smiling, he also smiled: “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you smile so sincerely.”

    “Get up, you can eat now.”

    Yes, finally.He was pulled up from the pool of blood by Qi Ruiqing, so he was a little dizzy.

    “Are you anemic?” Qi Ruiqing gave him his chicken legs, “Then eat more.”

    The whole room smelled fishy, milky white.As Shen Molin sucked, the taste rushed back into his body like an ebbing tide, and he felt intoxicated like the fragrance of rice.

    “Thank you for your hard work.” Shen Molin said gratefully.

    The red tips of the two chopsticks picked up the rice, and he ate it, licking away the last bit of the enticing taste.

    “It’s okay, as long as you are happy.” Qi Ruiqing shook his head.

    His hands were clean, never stained with a trace of blood.

    Note
