This time the other party just looked at her deeply for a while and asked her to watch the sea with him.
There were no more strange things coming out of the sea, and the city was empty and quiet. She looked back and saw that the deserted steel jungle was operating normally, and the high-rise buildings reaching into the sky were electrified and colorful.
Occasionally seeing long and narrow shadows passing through, Tang Rou asked, "Are those humans?"
He shook his head, "No."
It's a brand new creature.
The strange thing is that Tang Rou didn't feel scared, she just looked at this city that no longer belonged to humans calmly, and asked calmly,
"What time is it now?"
He announced a date, but it was blocked by some unknown force.
Tang Rou could only see his mouth moving, but she couldn't hear or distinguish it.
The man looked at her for a while and said quietly, "In your concept, this is the future."
She is in the future.
Seeing Tang Rou's confused look, he raised his hand and touched the top of her hair, and said warmly, "Go back."
This time he didn't do anything, and he didn't act like a monster, but Tang Rou was a little uncomfortable with it.
The corners of her vision were distorted and annihilated inch by inch, and she knew she was about to wake up.
The young man looked back at her, with the bright stars and colorful neon lights behind him, but Tang Rou once again sensed a hint of loneliness from him at an inappropriate time.
He is very lonely.
——Before waking up, this thought flashed through Tang Rou's mind.
.
Tang Rou came out to have breakfast with Aslan, and before leaving, No. 17's eyes wrapped around her wrist pleadingly. The look of separation almost made Tang Rou wonder if she was going to die.
At the dinner table, Aslan told Tang Rou some news.
"Professor Yamada is out of prison and will give a lecture at the Oceanographic Research Institute this afternoon. Will you go?"
The spoon paused for a moment, and Tang Rou fell into deep thought.
Professor Yamada is a scientist with outstanding research results in the field of oceans. In his last paper before going crazy, he clearly pointed out that there is a huge world hidden under the sea, and there is another civilization in this world.
If we do not respect another civilization, save our mistakes in time, or even attempt to conquer the ocean, human blindness will bring devastating disasters.
After publishing the paper, the outstanding scientist jumped into the ocean in a completely crazy manner, intending to drown himself in the waters that haunted him.
But he was captured and taken to a joint military prison.
In a way, Tang Rou and Xiao Ning are brothers and sisters, sharing the same mentor.
Before Professor Yamada was imprisoned, he handed over two important projects to Tang Rou and Xiao Ning, but as a result, many unpleasant rumors spread.
The tutor was imprisoned, and everyone was hurt. Tang Rou was maliciously slandered, and rumors were spread that she, a young girl who had just graduated, had some obscure relationship with the tutor who was in jail.
She found out the lecture time and decided to pay a visit to the professor.
When I returned to Area S, I was told that the circuit in the office was broken again.
Tang Rou put her hand on the electronic door lock to unlock it, but found that the screen was malfunctioning and the door was open.
The young man huddled on the floor behind the door, hugging his legs and feeling uneasy, and shed tears one by one.
Hearing the voice, he suddenly turned his head and looked at her in panic, "Rou..."
Tang Rou was startled and knelt down to wipe his tears, "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
There were dots of water stains on the young man's slender eyelashes. His eyes were red, he held back his tears, and shook his head gently, "No, nothing, I'm fine."
Tang Rou wiped away his tears bit by bit, touched the boy's dry and cold skin, frowned and asked, "Why don't you stay in the water tank?"
The young man raised his eyes, carefully observed her expression, pursed his lips, and asked uneasily, "Rou, are you angry?"
Tang Rou was confused, "Why am I angry?"
Sea Rabbit didn't answer, his eyes turned red again, and he looked away in panic.
He grabbed the blanket left by Tang Rou and curled his fingertips together, "I soiled your blanket, are you angry?"
Tang Rou checked it and became even more confused, "It's not dirty. It's a little wet, but it's very clean."
But Sea Rabbit seemed like he couldn't listen and kept crying, saying that he was wrong and asking Tang Rou not to be angry or abandon him.
He thought she didn't want him anymore.
Those clear and beautiful eyes were full of panic, and her slender and soft fingers tightly grasped her clothes, calling his name repeatedly, as if she would die of heartbreak if she didn't get a response.
A term slowly emerged in Tang Rou's mind, the abandoned cat effect.
Psychologically speaking, when a cat is abandoned by its owner once, it will become particularly well-behaved after being picked up again, because it is afraid of being abandoned again. This is the so-called "abandoned cat effect".
But Tang Rou never abandoned him, and even went to look for him again and again. Strictly speaking, the time they were separated was not that long.
Therefore, Tang Rou quickly came to the conclusion that Zhang Ning must have instilled wrong ideas in him, causing Sea Bunny to think that she had abandoned him.
Anger arose in Tang Rou's heart, but the movements of her hands became more and more gentle, gently stroking the young man's thin and convex spine.
"Don't cry, I won't abandon you."
The sea rabbit still kept crying.
Even when the beautiful young man cried, he remained quiet, clutching the corner of her clothes without saying a word, silently digesting the panic in his heart.
Tang Rou held his face and said again into those clear and moist eyes, "I will not abandon you, Rabbit."
The sea rabbit's eyes were very red. He looked at her intently through a layer of water vapor and asked with a sob, "Really?"
"Really." She wiped the water stains from the end of her eyes, but she couldn't wipe away his anxiety, "So, don't cry."
The young man looked at her with red eyes. After a moment of silence, he slowly stretched out his hand and hugged her gently, like a flower that had been soaked by a heavy rain. He lowered his head and looked timid, and gently leaned his head against her.
on his shoulders, like a rabbit praying for warmth.
His thin shoulders were shaking unnoticeably, and he started crying again, panting non-stop and out of breath.
He couldn't say anything, like a child who had been wronged outside.
Tang Rou patted his back to calm his emotions.
In her heart, she guessed that Sea Hare must have encountered something, something beyond her imagination.
His state was like a stress reaction, maybe it was caused by finding her missing after waking up, but it had only been twelve hours since Tang Rou left this office.
too exaggerated.
Sea Hare was still crying, but there was no sadness in his eyes, they were full of morbid obsession.
It turns out that this is how you can get her hug.
He was so excited that he shed tears.
…
After a long time, Hare's mood finally returned to calmness.
Seeing her packing her things and walking out with her car keys, the young man gently held her hand.
"Rou, where are you going?"
"Meet my teacher." Tang Rou explained patiently, "I'll be back soon, I'll only be there for a few hours."
a couple of hours?
It was a long torture for Habitat. He could no longer bear to be separated from Tang Rou, but at this time, he played his obedient image to the fullest.
He let go of his hand and nodded obediently, "I'll wait for Rou to come back."
The other person touched his head.
Tang Rou didn't know why her access control system was broken again. She called the logistics department and asked them to repair it. The logistics department said that some circuits in her S area had experienced high-intensity electricity and she needed to wait for troubleshooting and asked her to lock the experimental body water tank.
.
Before Zhang Ning arrived at her post, another major accident occurred in Area A. The base probably didn't know that an experimental subject had come to her in Area A.
After Tang Rou left, the young man regained his quiet and well-behaved appearance.
He stood up expressionlessly, climbed out of the water tank, casually wiped the water stains on his body, found the spare uniform jacket Tang Rou left in the office and put it on himself.
