Chapter 25
Jian Chengqi was awakened by the sound of rainstorm outside the window.
He had taken a certain amount of muscle relaxants and special coma-inducing drugs, so even if he opened his eyes, he was still drowsy and motionless, which prevented other people in the car from realizing that he was awake. Those two Alphas were sitting in the co-pilot's cab, and Liu Jiaan was sitting on the other side of the back seat.
He was looking at Jian Chengqi's computer, his fingers kept switching between the touchpad and the keyboard, as if he was doing deletions and additions.It didn't take long for the corner of his mouth to twitch, and the fluorescent light from the screen made his whole face look scary.Jian Chengqi couldn't help but want to move back, trying to get himself further away from him, this movement was captured by the co-pilot's alpha from the rearview mirror, and when he turned his head, Liu Jiaan also noticed that Jian Chengqi had woken up.
"Cheng Kei—"
"Where are you going?" The effect of the medicine that had not completely faded prevented him from making a loud voice, "Where are you taking me?"
"The airport." The alpha who was driving said, "There will be someone there to take the two of you out of the country."
"We... two?" Jian Chengxi couldn't stand up weakly, and asked, "Who are you?"
"We are just following orders, but please rest assured that you will be safe all the way." The person sitting in the co-pilot finished speaking and raised his hand, which seemed to mean that if they had other plans, Jane The activities of Cheng Qi and Liu Jiaan will definitely be restricted by equipment,
After that, the car fell into silence again, which made the sound of the storm outside the car more obvious. Liu Jia'an kept looking at Jian Chengqi, and seeing Jian Chengqi felt a little nervous.
But he has no one to help him now, he can only ask Liu Jiaan after the two alphas get off the car: "Do you really think we are going to the airport?"
They were stuck on a country road with their car's tires stuck in the mud, and the two alphas were standing behind the car in the rain, trying to push the car out of the hollow.They seemed to be very careless about the beta and omega in the car, and they didn't pull out the car key after getting out of the car. They almost succeeded, but after a little, they let Liu Jiaan sit in the cab, they pushed behind, and Liu Jiaan stepped on the gas pedal.
"Do you really think they will let us live?" Jian Chengqi asked Liu Jia'an who held the key again.They have all experienced it, and they all know that only the secret police will break in and take people away without a doubt. Their disappearance tonight does not necessarily mean that they really went abroad, but that they really disappeared.
"For your own sake too," he deduced from the vibration of the car body that the wheels had come out of the mud, and the two alphas would open the car door in a few seconds, and these few seconds were their only chance.He could only place his hopes on the person who had driven him to a point of no return. Liu Jia'an was indeed instigated, or he had always had this intention. As soon as Jian Chengqi finished speaking, he stepped on the gas pedal to the end.
He was driving very fast, especially after the high speed on the way back, he drove desperately to more than 200 yards. Jian Chengxi originally thought that he would return to the city, but he thought the road was complicated and the monitoring system was not perfect. suburbs open.After an unknown amount of time, he stopped the car on a gravel road with only one street light, with his elbows on the steering wheel and his hands grabbing his hair.
"Don't stop, go back to the city," Jian Chengqi suggested, "Give me your phone, I'll call my friends, I can ask them for help."
But Liu Jiaan didn't respond to him, but stepped on the gas pedal again, and dumped the car into the wasteland next to him.Seeing the howling wind and rain blowing weeds more than two meters high to the car window, Jian Chengqi only felt that this place was very familiar, but before he could recall it, Liu Jiaan turned off the engine, got off the car and drove him out of the car window. The back seat helped him out and carried him to the wilderness on the other side of the road.
"What do you want?" Jian Chengqi could use some strength in his legs and feet, but he still couldn't resist, and his voice was not loud.Liu Jia'an didn't hesitate at all, he kept his head down and paid attention to the road under his feet, and walked deep into the weeds step by step.At this time, they were all soaked, and the pouring rain washed away all possible marks and smells. He said that there was a deep pool across the tall weeds, and Jian Chengxi couldn't swim, so he could die there.
Jian Chengqi thought he had heard wrong.
"Even if they found the vehicle, they would never have imagined that we were on the opposite side, and the wind and rain were so violent today..." Liu Jiaan showed a ferocious smile, and held Jian Chengqi's shoulders tightly, "God is helping us."
"I don't understand..." Jian Chengxi struggled to back away, Liu Jiaan let go of his hand, let him fall to the ground, then squatted down, and said in the ear of Jian Chengxi, who was covered in mud and couldn't escape :
"I read what you're writing now, and I deleted all the latter ones. Those were too long-lasting and boring, so I deleted them all, and I also deleted the sentence that he saw Lin Yuan."
"I changed it to what he saw the most at a glance," Liu Jiaan said softly, "He committed suicide in 2019, and he didn't lose."
"How well you wrote earlier, one person against thousands of people, one individual against a set of operating laws, the free will at this moment against the general happiness of the future... Isn't this the year 2278, isn't this just now, You, Jian Chengqi, are Song Qu. If you committed suicide in 2278, you would not have lost."
"I'm not him," Jian Chengqi somewhat understood Liu Jiaan's intentions, but his denial obviously couldn't make Liu Jiaan get out of some kind of madness.
"You can't regard suicide as performance art." He sank his hands into the muddy ground, trying to stand up, "You can't, you...you are not qualified to use one person's sacrifice to serve any purpose, even the most noble cause Neither."
"Why not?" Liu Jiaan exerted a little force on his chest, and Jian Chengqi fell down again without any resistance, and the big raindrops hit his nose and tongue, making him unable to breathe for a while.
"I have already sent the edited article to some foreign media in the capital, and I also said that you wrote it. They will definitely be interested, because it was written by you, you!" He also got down, Leaning closer to Jian Chengqi's ear, he continued, "You are a symbol. If I die, others will die, but you are different. You were the author of "Reminiscence of the Golden Age" four years ago, and now you are After writing such a clip, if you commit suicide, like Song Qu, they will discuss you and discuss how this society drives a person to nowhere."
"But I'm not him...I'm myself, I..." Jian Chengxi shook his head vigorously.His physical condition was very bad, the drugs and the invading chill made him struggling on the verge of losing consciousness, but at the same time, there was also a desperate desire to survive, and he still insisted, "I want to live."
"Then what if others don't want you to live?" Liu Jiaan asked.
"……What do you mean?"
"Do you still want to read your brother's letter?" Liu Jiaan took out the rain-soaked envelope and carefully opened it.The night was too dark, and the light of the small flashlight was so dazzling, clearly illuminating every stroke and every punctuation mark, and it also made the prison visit three years ago vivid.
Because the resentment between the lines in this letter is in the same line as the anger of that visit. The letter confirmed that during the visit, Jian Li repeatedly asked why it was not Jian Chengqi who died. It was not because he was emotional, but because his parents had a car accident. Afterwards, he was already occupied by this thought, and that visit to the prison just exploded.That was the elder brother who had given in to him since he was a child, the elder brother who would give him one if he had two candies, the elder brother who also loved his parents very much, his elder brother wrote over and over in that letter that he should not exist.
"No one expects you," Liu Jia'an turned off the flashlight, and pinched Jian Chengqi's jaw, like holding an inanimate object.Then he grabbed Jian Chengqi's hand and continued to walk towards the pool, whispering in a bewildered manner without looking back.
"This is your best ending, for your parents, for your brother, as long as you die..."
"As long as you die, you can atone for them."
