[APH Mega Bu Ying Lu Zhong] Fools' Carnival

18 day

"So we press forward, but like sailing against the current, we are doomed to keep going back in time." - "The Great Gatsby"

Ivan sat in a narrow glass box and had to curl up his limbs. He looked around, and outside the box was a pitch-black void, only a fluorescent lamp above his head could clearly see him from head to toe.There was a gun in his hand against his heart, and he couldn't turn the muzzle of the gun, so he pierced through the chest and the glass together, and he fell into the void.

The gun that appeared in the first act will definitely be fired in the third act. In the endless fall, he looked up at himself. It was a movie theater screen with silent movies flashing on it. He silently watched how Alfred interacted with How did the "terrorists" meet and decide to set out to rescue Matthew.Although Alfred changed the fate of Simon being killed yesterday, he is as lucky as he can't change the future that he can't save Matthew - Ivan has foreseen all the possibilities, none of which is Alfred alone. The power to save Matthew, happy end in the real world is always harder than bad end.As for the other twin...

The screen distorted for a while, as if switching TV programs, it immediately showed a completely different image:

"Bang!" The lights went out, Matthew fell to his knees, and the wizards in white surrounded him, holding up the stick and swinging it down again and again.Matthew tightly guarded a small red, dripping, and burning heart in his arms. The red liquid spread from under his feet, dyeing the white space overwhelmingly red, and the more intense red finally changed. For the ultimate black, he raised his head and inevitably melted into the turbid black.Someone slapped him gently.

"Are you okay?" Matthew was almost moved to tears when he heard this voice of sincere concern, but he lifted his heavy eyelids, and what he saw was the doctor's eyes with halos and disgusting, sick eyes. white light.Matthew sat paralyzed in place—in fact, he was tied up and couldn’t move at all—expressed his resistance in silence, and let the doctor wipe his head and face with a hot towel: "You are very bad now, if your spirit does not give in again , your body will collapse first. We have practiced special treatments many times. According to my observation, those who will succumb will obey once or twice, and those who will succumb more than three or four times will never pay attention to us again. You It's the latter, Matthew."

Matthew turned his face away in pain, hoping that the doctor would shut up his stinking mouth quickly, and he would not hand himself over to them.However, the doctor is still chattering: "Your attitude is very suspicious. I am more and more interested in you, but I can't bear to torture you anymore, and your body is on the verge of collapse. What do you think I should do? What else? Can the method stimulate your potential..." He rubbed his hands and circled around the shivering mouse like a vicious cat.

"Anyway, you've worked hard, let's go to sleep first." Accompanied by a doctor's lullaby-like voice, Matthew was lifted up by a gentle force and moved to the soft bed. The needle kissed the crescent of the elbow, irresistible Matthew couldn't remember how long he slept, maybe he never woke up, he was having a long dream from the womb, when he woke up he could live it all over again, but there was still a new life Alfred and shared memories with Alfred?Matthew was willing to become Alfred, repeatedly rescuing himself from storage cabinets when they were nine years old.Alfred, who is most afraid of the dark, lies down in the tomb-like cabinet for Matthew, so Matthew can be grateful to him for the rest of his life, and there will be no second Alfred in the world.

Matthew woke up in tears and found himself shaking, and there was a lingering cold in his body.He had been moved to a strange room, divided in half by a glass wall, Matthew in one half, and in his half a table with a delicate but dead pocket watch, a Potted plants, a small aquarium with goldfish swimming in it, and a burning candle. There was no light in the other half of the room. Matthew couldn't see clearly, only felt that there was something vague.As soon as he stood up, the doctor's voice came from the stereo on the ceiling: "Matthew, I regret to inform you that although your body has not fully recovered, we have decided to continue the test. There are several samples in front of you Test supplies, if you have power beyond science to influence them, please show us."

Matthew sat there motionless with his legs crossed.The voice in the stereo seemed a little lonely: "It's expected. So I'm sorry, we're going to take some drastic measures, and you forced us. Alas, it took us a lot of effort to get this person, why don't you Guess who?" Matthew's heart skipped a beat, "person"—who?Who did they catch again?What are they going to do... Alf?Impossible, they don't know Alf, and if it's him, Matthew can feel it.Arthur?Francis?This is even more wrong... who the hell?

"Three, two, one, welcome." As if announcing the grand opening of the play, the other half of the room instantly became brightly lit, and the situation on the opposite side came into Matthew's eyes, causing him to scream on the spot: "Meg!"

The young girl restrained in the tiger chair twisted her head uneasily. Like Matthew, she was put into a plastic suit and had bracelets on her hands. Her caramel-colored curly hair was cut as short as a man's. Tear stains, those blue eyes burst out with hope as soon as they saw Matthew.This gentle girl who cried and confessed to Matthew nearly half a month ago—the terrified Meg seemed to be yelling at Matthew, but the glass blocked her voice, and Matthew felt that she was asking for help. But Matthew is in the same situation as her.Matthew was going crazy: "What did you do to her?! Let her go!" No, no, how is this possible? !How would they know about Meg!

"It's up to you what we do with her, Matthew. But don't think about breaking the glass to save her. You can't break this special barrier. The test equipment is on your right. If you have other needs, don't hesitate." Order." The speaker made a cold and distorted voice.Matthew froze, despair came to his mind: "Don't touch her!"

"We'll do to her everything we've done to you, and you know it's not good. The first thing is to use water—" A man in white walked into the opposite side and quickly put a water tank on Meg, and Matthew threw himself on the glass Slapped on the wall: "Stop! Stop!" The water level of the water tank gradually rose, and Meg cried and raised her face desperately to prevent the water from flooding her nose. Matthew from before, but she obviously did nothing wrong!The sound continued: "You don't know how to help her, and we don't want to. It's your fault for making her suffer, Matthew, if you continue to keep silent, your important people will one by one..."

"Shut up!" Matthew roared while holding his head. At the same time, several test equipment on the table vibrated inexplicably, floating slightly in mid-air, and the flames of the candles exploded like fireworks. fire!The voice of the stereo became excited in an instant: "As expected, you are a genius! Go on and let us see your strength!" Meg's elongated neck was full of veins, and Matthew stretched out his hand to the stereo:

"Quickly stop—!" The stereo and the objects on the table all exploded in an instant, and the live goldfish splashed on the ground and turned into a bloody mass of meat. The world became distorted, and a large number of strange-shaped things overflowed from Matthew. Splashing all around, he screamed in collapse, his telekinetics completely lost control and threw things in the air until he was injected with anesthesia by the heavily armed "Penguin" who rushed in.Tears filled Matthew's eyes. He was pinned to the ground and tied up. At the last moment, he vaguely saw Meg's water tank untied. The tears finally burst: "Meg... Meg... I'm sorry..."

A vague shadow was reflected in the glass, and Steve maintained the posture of roaring and beating.Fortunately, the anesthetic soon took effect, and Matthew fell into a deep sleep again. The flying things in the room crackled and hit the ground, turning into a mess, and people still had lingering fears.

"We will do anything to conquer you. We will do everything we can to smooth your edge, break your heart, dull your mind. And finally turn you into a caged bird, my God's favorite .” The doctor muttered to himself while sitting in the monitoring room.

"Ugh—" Matthew vomited on the white floor, a dying goldfish wriggled in the scarlet liquid, he managed to get up, and walked while leaning on the wall, leaving mottled footprints, the passage was far and endless, moving forward And retreat blurred the concept, obviously walking hard, but the status quo has not changed, if the world is rising, then Matthew is falling into the abyss.Matthew squatted down like a child, hugged his head and cried loudly. All of this was meaningless. Although he cherished everything before losing it, things would eventually go away irresistibly, and he couldn't hold on to anything.The unspeakable secret was exposed, and he was finally caught, and the torture that was a hundred times more cruel than before would fall on him.At this time, Matthew's figure was reflected on the smooth ceiling, and Steve's voice echoed from above his head: "I am here, tell me your wish."

"Meg..." However, Matthew cried more and more and shrunk into a small ball. He changed from a youth to a teenager, and from a teenager to a child. The sobbing boy with his head bowed was sobbing that he couldn't speak.Steve frowned, as if he had seen the same scene many years ago. He wanted to reach out to touch Matthew, but was blocked by the barrier of the mirror. He knocked on the mirror again and again in a fit of anger, but couldn't attract Matthew's attention , Cracks appeared on the mirror, and the cracks continued to deepen, and the reflected face became distorted and hideous: "I will help them find you, except Alfred." After saying this, the mirror was completely shattered, Steve's The shadow dissipated into the void, and his wordless gaze melted into one last sigh:

"As long as you want, you can call me anytime, even ten thousand times."

"Sneeze!" Alfred sneezed, and Tino gave him a blanket and told him to take a good rest.Alfred looked around. Under the bright fluorescent lights, people in the assembly hall were bustling and mobilized to pack up for the action team. They were preparing to set off tomorrow. Tino said: "Tomorrow there will be a fierce battle, although you don't have to rush ahead, But it is necessary to be full of energy." Alfred wiped his nose: "I suddenly felt a chill... I have to say that I have a bad feeling. I said before that my brother and I are twins. There is a heart between us. Inductive, I want to find him as soon as possible."

"Alfred!" Simon's voice came from the tent, where they were planning their route.Alfred got into the tent, and there was a map of the United States on the table. Amir drew three circles on it with a red marker, marking three locations respectively. He explained: "According to the information you provided ——You were attacked in Sacramento, and Waxiu and his sister were separated in the laboratory in San Francisco—and the place where we first met, it can be preliminarily inferred that your family is in one of these three research institutes, maybe the two people you are looking for It just happened to be in the same place. Isn’t your ability lucky? Then you choose one to be the first target to attack. Be careful, the association is pressing hard, and supplies are limited. We only have one chance this year. If we make a mistake, we can only Let’s talk next spring.”

"Alfred, please." Wasiu, who was standing aside, suddenly grabbed Alfred's arm tightly, staring at his eyes flickeringly, almost kneeling down to pray.Alfred took a deep breath: "I see." He approached the map, borrowed a coin to toss, and with the silent recitation of "God bless", the lucky coin landed on a spot exactly, and Simon shot up : "That's the decision! Who will take those two rookies to practice a few more times, don't die there..."

After a while, the crowd dispersed, Lucas took off his clothes, and Simon helped him apply the medicine. The young man had three bullet sores on his back, two for protecting Simon and one for Amir.Simon flexibly tied a bow on the gauze, and pushed Lucas: "Okay." Lucas didn't get up immediately, but turned his back to Simon and said angrily, "I said I won't do anything this year, Have you fed your words to the dogs? You know how dangerous your situation is... Just like that time, you are as nosy as ever."

"If I didn't do this, I wouldn't be able to get acquainted with you." Simon stood up with a smile on his face. "If I didn't do this, I wouldn't be here today." Lucas put on his shirt slowly and tied it Button: "If you always hold such a naive idea, you will suffer sooner or later. But even so..." He turned his head and put his fist on Simon's chest, and said with bright eyes: "If you want to fight, I will follow you. If you want to hide I'll accompany you even if you leave, just remember this."

Simon slapped his forehead carelessly: "I'm such a happy man! I'm so envious of myself..." He reached out and rubbed the back of Lucas's head, and involuntarily softened his tone, "Thank you, partner."

About ten years ago, there were three alien teenagers in a certain alien "school" set up by ordinary people, two belonged to the bodyguard department and one belonged to the sniper department.The ordinary instructor who works in the school brought his son to the school to train together, so the ordinary son met the alien teenagers. At first, he just felt that being friends was very happy, but day after day, year after year , ordinary children became more and more unbearable to see the children of other people being discriminated against and used. They finally ran away together, and later went to another school to rescue the younger brother of one of the teenagers.One of the teenagers suggested: "Why don't we do this job from now on."

A few years later, Simon's Squad was born.

Antonio, who was barefoot in the hanging chair, plucked the strings of the ukulele, and the sultry strings immediately echoed in the cold winter night. Gilbert sat on the steps and looked up at the bright night sky, kicking his boots on the ground. The beat, the sound of the wind is the endless silence.Gilbert rubbed a ring in the palm of his hand. The letter "EH" was engraved on the inside of the ring. Today is his birthday, but the party is over, the crowd and carnival have long since dispersed, and only the broken grass remains on the grass. Ribbons and discarded gift wrapping paper, whether it is the past few years or the next few decades, life should eventually return to tranquility like a party, let it flow away slowly, he only hopes that the one he loves can have a clear heart .

"Oh, I couldn't say it today..." Glancing at the hand-sewn chicken kitchen gloves Elizabeth gave him, Antonio's voice was teasing.Gilbert picked up something and hit him: "I want you to talk!"

"Kill obviously looks carefree at ordinary times, but he is inexplicably sensitive at critical moments." Antonio strummed, and even the grass trembled.Gilbert spread his legs and leaned his head on his knees, and pressed his hand on his right arm with the black eagle tattoo: "I am a pilot, and a pilot must be cautious. Although I can no longer fly, there are no pilots in this era..." He Uncommonly becoming frustrated, Antonio shrugged helplessly: "I think it's better to act first, after all Elizabeth is so beautiful, isn't it enough that you have been cautious for more than ten years!" Gilbert jumped up and beat him: "Everyone said You are annoying!"

"I've been working for you all day, can't you let me gossip about it?" Antonio deftly blocked it with his ukulele, and even tripped Gilbert with his legs, "If you panic, you'll be messed up. Gil." Gilbert kicked back: "Four years ago, two of your ribs were broken!"

"Thank you for your mercy." Antonio laughed while covering his ribs, "I heard from Elizabeth that you fought for the first place in everything at the National Defense University, which made her very angry and wanted to hit the back of your head with a frying pan. In the end, you took the first place in the physical test, but she took the first place in the written test. I said, if you stay in the army like this, you don’t know what kind of life you will live. You must be very nervous, and there are challenges every day. And it's completely different from us..." Gilbert brushed away the debris on the ground with his feet, sat back on the steps and poked the ground without saying a word, Antonio then joked again with understanding: "Hey, so what am I Can I have the wedding cake sometime?" Gilbert understood, and replied without looking back: "Why don't you go get married yourself if you want to eat it?!"

At this time, a strange light in the distance interrupted their frolic. Gilbert looked back and saw a sports car with high beams running on the rugged field path. The dazzling red was very familiar.Antonio was taken aback: "Ferry's car?!"

"Happy birthday, brother." Ludwig gave Gilbert a big hug as soon as he got out of the car, and Gilbert grinned: "You remember!" Feliciano and Antonio also rushed over , the four of them got together like a family, Honda Ju stood aside and joined them only after hesitating for a moment.Gilbert patted Ludwig on the shoulder: "It's better to see you so energetic, but why are you back?"

"Actually, it's about Ju's plane... We have a request." Ludwig said seriously, and the three people from "Rocket Parade" suddenly stood together and bowed deeply, "Please brother, please teach Ju to fly the plane! "

"Huh? What are you talking about..." Gilbert was confused at first, but after listening to Ludwig's explanation, his eyes became serious, "If you are serious, this matter It's not impossible, but you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you will persevere." Honda Ju bowed for the second time, and he had bowed his head countless times to go home: "Yes!"

"But, have you got the plane? You can't do anything without the key plane." Antonio said worriedly.Feliciano raised his hand: "There is nothing to worry about about the plane, it will probably come later!"

"'Later'?" Gilbert raised his eyebrows. At this time, there was an unusual roar in the distance, and a little light appeared on the dark ridge. Antonio pointed to the sky and began to yell: "Oh, that's What?!" A huge black shadow floated towards them, and Feliciano's explanation was drowned out by the vibration of the engine and the spinning of the propeller: "We met many kind-hearted people in towns with airplanes, and one of them The old pilot...although he couldn't bring Chrysanthemum home, he promised to help us drive the plane to Los Angeles..."

"My God..." Under the shadow of the huge man-made flying bird and the hurricane, Gilbert's eyes widened. A familiar smell of rust seemed to float from the empty training airport in the early morning in his memory, circling around countless times. The lonely figure running around the airport made his heart beat continuously and expand from the darkness, bursting out with intense light and heat... Gilbert rushed to the room to fetch something, and fired it into the sky——"Boom!" signal The firelight of the gun illuminates the night sky and the eyes of the young man, guiding the plane from afar to land on the large baseball field that Gilbert has recently tidied up. Gilbert opens his hands to the vast sky, breathing freely Burnt air.Ludwig was slightly taken aback: "Brother, have you been hiding such things?"

"It's considered a retirement fee." Gilbert gave a military salute to the plane that was slowly landing, his eyes were shining like torches, as if reunited with his old comrades from many years ago, he turned to Ludwig, "Assi, thank you." Luther Vichy and Gilbert looked at each other quietly in the middle of the night, and the night wind couldn't blow away the flame in Gilbert's eyes. Ludwig suddenly understood some kind of his will, and said in a deep voice:

"My brother came back from the army after 'Judgment Day' and my parents were happy, but I always felt like something important had been ripped from my brother since then... Now, welcome back, Gilbert Besh Corporal Mick."
