Chapter 55 Similar.

Shu Mo didn't even know how he was going on.

He only remembered that when he came to his senses, he was already standing in front of Xi, looking up at the man in front of him.

This is the back garden of the laboratory. It's already the end of the day. Only people on shift are still working in the laboratory. Almost no one comes to hang out in this remote corner. It seems that they are the only two people left in the whole world.

Xi raised his face and glanced behind him with his pure white eyes. The next second, a force surged around him, blocking out other sounds. Xi lowered his eyes and looked at the nervous black-haired young man in front of him. , the smile on his lips became deeper.

"Shu Mo." The two looked at each other. After a while, Xi was the first to speak. Shu Mo on the opposite side looked a little nervous: "Long time no see."

His voice was ethereal and sweet, with an unspeakable tenderness. , is a kind of timbre that initially feels warm in the ears, but after a while, you can feel a subtle cold feeling. But in Shu Mo's ears, it was completely warm. He looked at the people in front of him, and suddenly realized in his excitement that he didn't know what to say. Speaking of which, he and Xi had only met once. The last time they met, the other party had rescued him, and then let him come to the second place. layer.

Everything he experienced on the second floor originated from that chance encounter with Hexi. If the other party hadn't recommended him, then he might never have come to the second floor in his life, let alone enter the research institute.

After the last meeting, Shu Mo never saw the other person in person again. Shu Mo still felt an unspeakable excitement in his heart. This was not a poster bought in a mall; nor was it only a few times on TV. Under the camera, it seemed like there was some distance between him and him, no one could be seen or touched, but Xi was standing in front of him alive, smiling at him.

Shu Mo looked at him and was almost speechless for a moment. At this moment, he vaguely heard a hoarse scream, but it seemed to be an illusion caused by him being too excited. On the ground, Xi's shadow showed an unnatural crawling feeling, as if something was coming. It seemed to have emerged from below, but the man's long boots stepped on it very lightly, and the wave was stepped on by his feet, and then it stopped moving.

Shu Mo glanced down and saw the shadow. He paused, his green eyes blinking slowly, watching the ferocious shadow forming Xi's shadow in front of him. At this time, the man's voice came from above his head, drawing his attention back.

"What are you looking at?" Xi asked gently. He was a perfect creature standing in the sun, with no trace of dirt on his body. Even his eyes were as warm white as sunlight, with colorful spots in his pupils.

The man said: "How does it feel to be in the laboratory? Shu Mo."

Xi's voice gave people a sense of thoughtfulness, like a gentle senior asking about his life. Shu Mo finally stopped looking at the shadow, but looked at him and said, "Thank you for your concern."

He paused, and then replied, "I think it's very good here. The work here is very easy. It's very convenient for me. " It's very comfortable."

Shu Mo's words were not polite, but sincere. But he may be the first and only person who can say this, but at the same time, Shu Mo can feel how satisfying this job is to him, and this is the best job for him.

"I like it here very much." After saying this, Shu Mo showed a happy smile on his face. Xi Que slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at him. Shu Mo, who had been observing his expression, blinked, wondering if he had said something wrong.

But in the next second, Xi's expression returned to its original appearance, with a slightly raised smile sticking to his face like a mask.

"That's good." Xi said: "After I contacted you, I knew you would like it here. The laboratory is a very suitable place for you. In the lower laboratory, you cannot use your talents."

" You should have a better position that belongs to you. "Xi said: "I heard the director praise your ability, I believe you can live a better life here."

Xi said this, his voice paused. He realized that Shu Mo in front of him had been looking at him, and when he said something, the black-haired young man nodded. He looked hopeful, even doubting whether Shu Mo was listening to him. The young man's eyes were full of admiration, like a puppy looking at its master eagerly and eagerly.

Look at him with those soft, glowing eyes.

Xi's fingers trembled slightly, and he almost forced himself to look away. His eyes only fell on Shu Mo's spinning head. He didn't dare to look at him again, as if he was afraid that if he looked at him one more time, he would lose control. of.

Where Shu Mo couldn't see, Xi's eyes darkened a little, and he was suddenly sure. At this moment, Xi was completely sure of one thing: Shu Mo liked him.

In other words, Shu Mo worshiped him, and Shu Mo worshiped "Xi".

He likes me.

The black-haired young man didn't even hide this, or in other words, Shu Mo was trying his best to hide it, but it didn't stop him from acting like a puppy wagging its tail in front of Xi.

That kind of hard-to-conceal love, almost pure admiration and admiration cannot be disguised, and the other party will not pretend it either. Xi understands Shu Mo's character very well. Rather than saying that he can act, it's better to say that even if Shu Mo tries hard to perform, his acting skills will be like a clumsy newcomer on stage, so stiff that he doesn't even know how to move his hands and feet. .

So Shu Mo likes him.

Thinking of this, Xi's eyes slowly moved in circles. Even Shu Mo, who was standing in front of him and looking at him unblinkingly, couldn't tell what he was thinking at this time, or in other words, what he was thinking. In Shu Mo's eyes, Xi's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, still so gentle.

"Shu Mo." After realizing this, Xi planned to give up some of the decisions he had made before coming, and instead came up with new ideas. Shu Mo heard the person in front of him say: "Speaking of which, this time I came to the laboratory, Just for one thing."

Shu Mo looked at Xi. His expression remained unchanged, but at that moment he seemed to have lost some disguise, and his aura changed from gentle to slightly thicker and sharper. Shu Mo had an intuition. The other party would say something important to him, but he didn't expect that Xi suddenly changed his previous greetings and said directly:

"——I'm here to find you."

Shu Mo's spirit perked up, and he finally felt relieved to see him. He was pulled away from Xi's joy. His first reaction was to subconsciously raise his head and observe the surrounding environment. There was no one else around. The flowers in the distance swayed, but it was only the wind. Shu Mo raised his head and looked at Xi. The other person was more perceptive than him. If there were other people around, Xi would be prepared. Thinking of this, Shu Mo asked,

"You come here to find me?"

What do you need ? Does he do it?

Shu Mo thought, is there something that requires Xi to come to him instead of someone else? Shu Mo was very keen. He looked at

the man in front of him and pinched the corner of his clothes: "Did any pollutants escape?"

Looking uncertain, Shu Mo looked at him and said hesitantly: "Or are there some level five pollutants that are born, so I need to deal with them?"

Xi stretched out his hand and suddenly touched Shu Mo's hair with his fingers. , Shu Mo didn't like other people touching him, but he still didn't avoid it when the man's fingertips stretched out. The other person's fingers were pressed in the middle of his hair, it was very itchy, and he pulled out the black-haired young man's hair. A flower petal flew to his head. During the whole process, Shu Mo just stood there and looked at him doubtfully, without any reaction to his actions.

So Xi withdrew his hand, kneaded and crushed the petals on his fingertips, and the light red color seeped out from his silver-gray gloves. Like a ball of blood, the action just now seemed unintentional, but Xi had already determined a lot of things.

Shu Mo likes him.

Xi chewed on these words, and for a moment, he could hardly hide his inner emotions. The man shook his head. What just happened only happened for a short moment: "No."

Xi said, "Do you know the saint?" This

was the second time Shu Mo heard this word today. Even before, He had never come across this word and had no idea what it meant. In the past, Shu Mo didn't know what this word meant, but now he knew: "You are also here to see the saint...?"

Shu Mo raised his face and looked at the man in front of him. He seemed to want to say something. What, but in the end, the young man turned his face and rolled his eyes: "He is not in the laboratory."

"Is there anyone else looking for him?" Xi looked at him quietly: "Is this how you answered them?"

"The Saint is not in the laboratory?"

"Then where can he be?"

Xi's words were so frank that Shu Mo even felt that the other party had seen through everything, and that all privacy was completely controlled. The feeling in the other person's hand was very uncomfortable. Shu Mo looked at him in confusion: Even he only knew about the existence of the Saint recently. Why did Xi know about this?

The cloak behind Xi was fluttering in the wind, and the gorgeous lines on it reflected the gorgeous patterns in the sunlight. Xi hummed lightly and looked at the person in front of him with a smile on his lips. Shu Mo seemed to be frightened in front of him. After hesitating for a while, he saw that the person did not make any move. The next second, he hesitated and lowered his head again, saying vaguely: "You came to him, do you want him to do something?"

"I came to protect him. "Xi said: "Do you believe me? Shu Mo."

For someone who has only met twice or even never met before, talking about the topic of trust will feel a bit ridiculous, but Shu Mo. But he looked at the person in front of him and nodded lightly.

"I believe you."

Xi's breathing became heavier, and his eyes became darker, so dark that they almost formed a thick texture. Under that layer of white, a bit of silvery black was struggling looming, and then, Xi's expression returned to normal, and he continued:

"If you believe me, then you should know that the saint is in a very dangerous situation now."

Shu Mo put his hands in his pockets, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. "

Why did you say that?"

"I don't know much about the Saint..."

"Did he do something, or have something of great and special value, that made you... Do you care about him so much?"

"Is he important to you?" Shu Mo said vaguely, "Or did he save you before?"

After saying this, Shu Mo wanted to slap himself. The next few words should not have been uttered, and he should not have mentioned them, but at this moment the young man suddenly had an extremely strong impulse. He no longer even cared about how Xi knew the existence of the saint and was looking for it. What was he doing for that? The moment he finished those two sentences, Shu Mo should have realized his problem, but instead he was concentrating on it. His whole body was completely tense, and he could hardly control his every move. , pay close attention to what the person in front of you will say next.

Then, in front of Shu Mo, Xi raised her lips, still with a faint smile on her face. The man's face was so perfect that it made people lose their minds. That look, wrapped in a sea of ​​thousands of flowers, almost took away the beauty of Shu Mo. With Mo's full attention, Shu Mo couldn't help but care about what he said. Then, Shu Mo could even feel the sweat flowing down the side of his face. He was almost trembling. The young man tilted his head and said,

"Okay, I You shouldn't ask this, actually I..."

"He is very important to me."

Then, Shu Mo heard the person in front of him lower his head and lean down, and the warm fragrance of Xi's body came, giving people an indescribable feeling. With the warmth of the sun, Shu Mo turned his face and almost bumped into Xi. He took a step back, but his body was suddenly restrained because a hand held his shoulder. The force was very light, but it made him unable to move.

"He is very, very important to me."

"Do you know how important a person's existence is to other people?" Xi said softly: "If it weren't for him, I might die."

Xi said. The voice sounded extremely determined. The firm emotion and the unhesitating and unshakable voice made Shu Mo instantly confirm that the other party's words were true and could not be faked.

"So, I want to come here to find him and protect him."

Shu Mo looked at the person in front of him blankly, and even Xi had no time to react when he was so close to him. His brain was a little dazed. The next second, the young man heard his own voice hesitating and saying dryly:

"That's it..."

"Is this true?" Shu Mo actually didn't know what he was saying. Something, but he saw Xi nodded slightly. Shu Mo felt that at that moment, a wave of ecstasy surged down his limbs and towards his heart, stretching it so tightly that it almost exploded, blowing him into pieces.

However, the real situation is that when the emotion surged to its strongest point, it seemed to be overflowing at that moment, and the tide suddenly disappeared. Understanding Shu Mo's reaction, the black-haired young man hesitated for a while and then pushed his hand away. He pressed his forehead, no longer caring about how strange his performance looked.

He should feel happy, right?

but why.

Even Shu Mo himself only learned about this a few days ago. He couldn't completely connect this word with himself. Shu Mo was a little happy, but more at a loss.

He was almost getting into the corner of the horn. Shu Mo even began to have random thoughts in his mind. His expression was hesitant, and the expression on Xi's face, which was looking at Shu Mo, began to change slightly. The man used that Looking at the person in front of him with his white eyes, he turned his head and thought: Is Shu Mo so unhappy after hearing what he said?

The smile on Xi's face was like a flawless mask, with some cracks slowly bursting out from the inside, and then a slight cracking sound was made. He was still smiling, but the white eyes in his eyes were shallow and cold, and his smile With an expression completely opposite to his eyes, Shu Mo was still competing with himself. He turned back to look at the person in front of him, almost wanting to ask: What did the saint do to make Xi care about him so much.

Then, Shu Mo turned around and saw that beautiful face and the man's gentle expression.

Shu Mo's brain froze.

"Is that so? If he knows, the Saint will definitely be very happy."

Shu Mo heard himself say blankly: "I think he will be very happy..."

"Really?" Xi stretched out his hand and touched it. The corners of his raised lips seemed to be touching the cracks in the mask.

"Really, if you are so good, he will definitely like you."

Shu Mo suddenly woke up, looked at Xi and nodded. Xi said that the saint was very important to him, so he was also very important to Xi.

very nice. Shu Mo thought, feeling an unusually sweet feeling spreading in his heart. As long as he saw Xi, he would forget everything.

Xi stared at him. After a moment, the corners of the man's lips deepened and he hummed softly.

All the jealousy, doubts, and entanglements seemed to disappear under Xi's eyes. Shu Mo felt that even his fingertips were warm. He couldn't help but become happy because of Xi's words, and Xi also laughed. .

"You said you came to him to protect him?" Shu Mo didn't even know how long he had been laughing. After a while, he realized what was going on and asked, "Did something happen?"

" He is very dangerous now," Xi said. "The existence of the saint is very special and important."

"He has the power to soothe and purify all pollutants." Xi continued, Shu Mo heard others describe him like this. It still felt a little strange: "So the Trial House needs to find him, and I need to take him away before the Trial House."

Shu Mo frowned, and when he heard the Trial House, his frown deepened: "The Trial House What are you looking for? What if he refuses?"

After hearing Shu Mo's words, Xi slowly raised his body and told Shu Mo something: "This is what I want to say."

"You know those who disobey the trial. What kind of treatment will they receive? "

"They will first use benefits to seduce the other party, and use threats and intimidation to stimulate him."

"If he does not comply, then he will choose to use violence to force him to comply.

" Do you know the saint who was in the trial?"

Xi said: "The saint is a hunter with special abilities. She can absorb filth and turn it into power. When the trial found this, they first let her She joined the trial and was forced to deal with the filth day and night.

"But this kind of absorption has a limit after all," Xi told Shu Mo about the cruel and bloody things that had happened in the trial. The deepest darkness: "So they transformed her and made her a 'saint'."

Shu Mo opened his eyes slightly, maybe because he was in the same situation, or because he felt sympathy for the same disease. When the fox heard the fate of the rabbit, Knowing that there was not much difference between himself and the other person, he seemed to be able to feel that feeling more personally.

"They discovered that the hunter's ability came from her bones." Xi said in a calm tone: "So they dug out the opponent's spine and made her into a sacred instrument to absorb the filth to the greatest extent."

Shu Mo His breath was suffocated, and he almost felt a sharp pain coming from his back, as if his bones had been cut out. Xi looked at the appearance of the person in front of him and continued:

"The saint only has the ability to absorb filth. The power is treated so crazily, but the saint can directly purify the pollutants.

"So, I am very worried."

"They... won't find the Saint." Shu Mo said, "They can't find him."

"They can find him." Xi Que refuted his words and said, "Soon, they will find him. "

The Trial House is going crazy. You don't know what the Saint means to the Trial House - the current Trial House can do anything."

"Those hunters and the Seven Commandments will be like overwhelming red ants." They rushed out and tore apart anything in front of them." Xi lowered his head and suddenly pinched Shu Mo's face off guard: "Of course, I also have my own selfish motives. I want to find the Saint, at least better than them. Find him first."

"How long do you think you can hide?"

Shu Mo was still digesting Xi's words, but when he suddenly heard the man say this, Shu Mo stared at Xi's expression. , there was a moment of panic.

"The Saint is not in the Trial House. Is that what you told them?" Xi said, "Your acting skills can't fool even the stupidest fool."

"Lord Saint." The man said softly: "Be the Bishop of the Trial House. When they come to you, are you going to say this to them?"

Shu Mo's breathing was rapid. He looked at the man in front of him and gritted his teeth. The next second, Shu Mo seemed to have lost all his strength. He slapped Xi's hand away angrily and said dejectedly: "You... knew about this from the beginning?"

"Are you teasing me?"

Shu Mo glared at Xi, but because it was Xi, he only dared to stare a few times. eyes, and lowered his head again.

"I've been looking for you." The man's voice was still very gentle: "I'm afraid that you are in danger."

"If the identity of the God-blasphemer is only worthy of a few hunters sent by the Tribunal to hunt down, then the Saint is enough to make them Crazy."

"You don't know what those people will do to you."

"Even if you can control the pollutants or purify the filth, the people in the Tribunal know how to deal with you - the power they show now is just that. It's just a small part."

Xi put her hands in front of her, pointing her fingers at each other: "I don't want you to become the next 'Saint', nor do I want to see you being made into a tool and tied to the pillar of the trial center day and night. Clean up the filth."

"Your throat will burst from singing, and your body will collapse due to excessive pressure, and then they will heal you, and then the cycle starts again." "

How do I know... you are telling the truth."

Xi, and is willing to believe every word he says, but he is not sure whether the other party is hiding something. This does not mean that he has a better impression of the Trial House. Between the Trial House and Xi, who will he choose? Of course, there is no need to go Ask something.

But Xi was too kind to him.

This kind of good thing made Shu Mo a little at a loss. They have only met twice. No matter what Xi said, the most important fact is: is he worthy of Xi treating him like this?

Xi is wooing him, and Xi needs his ability?

He needed to think. Shu Mo realized this clearly at this moment. At the same time, he suddenly thought of Greed and Xi. Shu Mo's mind was a little confused. Everything Xi said about the trial center made Shu Mo's spirit tense. .

Then, Xi whispered: "As a blasphemer, don't you know what the trial will do?"

"Speaking of it, Shu Mo." Xi raised his face and said suddenly: "What do you think a blasphemer is? ?"

Shu Mo immediately raised his face and looked at Xi: "What do you mean?"

"Do you think what the trial said is correct?"

Xi looked up at him. At this time, the sun was gradually setting and the sunlight was dimming. It was a little larger and was divided by the windows on the roof, so that Xi's face was divided by it. Half of the face was in the sun, while the other half of the face fell in the shadow, which was completely dark.

"Come, tell me, Shu Mo."

"What do you think the blasphemer is?"

Shu Mo took a step back and watched the person in front of him suddenly change his gentle attitude, and then began to press forward step by step. He took a step back, The person in front took a step forward, and the distance between the two people widened and narrowed. An indescribable sense of oppression came. Xi's attitude suddenly became sharp and oppressive, as if to say: You are an obscenity? God, if you don’t believe in me, why should you believe in the Judgment Hall?

"Do you think you are filthy, evil, disgusting, and despised by others?"

"The judgment rejects blasphemers. Do you know how they describe blasphemers? - They say, that is not A dirty thing that should be born and thrown into hell."

Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was saying something interesting. Shu Mo stared at him, his expression gradually becoming unhappy: "That's enough."

"Do you know how the Tribunal treats the blasphemers? They say that they are acting for God and to remove the filth from the tower, so they have to carry out a great cleansing to deal with all the filth."

"Will you be part of that?"

"That's enough!" Shu Mo raised his voice and glared at Xi, not understanding why he said that: "You..."

"Why did you..."

Shu Mo shook his head. Shaking his head, the impact he received today was a bit too great. The young man took a few steps back, looked at Xi, and then wanted to turn around and leave. He needed to be alone.

"It seems you don't think so."

Xi's voice came from behind: "So, I think so too, Shu Mo."

"Look back."

Xi stopped where he was, watching Shu Mo turn and walk away, but he didn't. To chase, he didn't even make any extra moves. The man just made one move: he stretched out his hand and took off his gloves.

Shu Mo turned his face a little disappointed, with an expression of hesitation and anger mixed on his face. Hearing Xi's words, he stopped in his steps. The young man stood in the sun, turned his head and looked at the man standing there. Then, at that moment, Shu Mo opened his eyes wide. A look that had never appeared before, that was almost shocking and made him speechless. A look of complete disbelief appeared on Shu Mo's face. For a moment, Shu Mo It even feels like I'm dreaming.

The Tower Sun Pillar was rumored to be a new god in the future. It was the object of worship for countless people. It was a flawless person who was admired by everyone. He took off his gloves and stretched out his hand to Shu Mo.

"Come here."

Xi stretched out his right hand - the hand with ferocious black lines wrapped around it, and said to Shu Mo: "Come to my side."

Shu Mo stared at this scene in a daze, and he stood blankly. In the same place, the next second, Shu Mo's body began to tremble, and then his mind went blank and he ran in the direction of Xi. All the sounds and everything else seemed to have become phantoms. In Shu Mo's eyes, there was only Xi's figure. He ran towards the man, stretched out his hand and took hold of the palm. When he held Xi's wrist tightly with his hand, pressed the hand uncontrollably, and stroked the black lines above, Shu Mo She pressed her face against his warm palm and suddenly lost her breath completely for a moment.

Tears fell drop by drop on Xi's palm, and the man caught them. Shu Mo held him tightly, so hard that even if it was cut off, the hand would still be clasped on Xi's body.

"You...I..."

Shu Mo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out. Xi looked at him and wiped the tears from Shu Mo's face with his hands. Then, Xi said,

"Now, do you believe me?"

Shu Mo looked at him and nodded. He kept nodding his head, and Xi looked at him quietly. After the two of them stared for a moment, Shu Mo couldn't control himself anymore. He opened his hands and hugged the person in front of him tightly. Xi also opened his arms. , took the person into his arms, and the two of them hugged each other tightly in the garden. For a moment, Shu Mo could hear his own heartbeat, thump, thump, thump, and then it started beating like never before.

"I believe you," he said.
