nightmare exec

Chapter 141 The Forgotten Place

To be honest, Song Yin doesn't want to conflict with Alexander—at least not now.

Regardless of other things, let's talk about the Mithril in his arms.I don't know when the hypnosis effected by Shaffley will fail, and I don't know what the reaction will be after Mithril wakes up. The top priority should be to transfer people to a safe and secure place.

Besides Qi Zhengnan——Song Yin was too familiar with Qi Zhengnan's routines, his mouth was hard and his heart was soft. If they really fought with Alexander, no matter whether they won or lost, they would not feel good afterwards.

Of course, there are other concerns, such as Alexander's real strength, such as unpredictable future development, and for example, Alexander once provided help for Song Yin's parents...

Maybe everyone in the world can think that Alexander is a cunning and opportunistic villain, but Song Yin is the only one who has no right to say so.

And while Song Yin remained silent, Qi Zhengnan didn't respond any further—had he also considered similar issues?Song Yin has no way of knowing, but "not making a choice" is obviously the most helpless and safest "choice" right now.

Seeing that the two of them hadn't moved for a long time, Alexander understood.He hooked the corner of his mouth, stepped back a few steps, and merged into the vast gray mist.Only two indistinct sentences were left, floating over from a distance——

"Do you still keep the tube of ayahuasca I put in your pocket? Hurry up and use it, you two will have a big surprise together."

"Surprise? What surprise?" Song Yin chased a few steps forward: "What's going on, please speak clearly!"

But Qi Zhengnan grabbed his arm to avoid being separated from him in the white mist.

In an instant, Alexander had disappeared without a trace.In the vast fog, the terrible dead silence was restored again.

Song Yin really couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north, and he wasn't even sure if he was still in purgatory.He carried Mithril, who was still unconscious, and forced himself to remain calm: "There is thick fog all around, where should I go? How to go back?"

"It's okay, I know." Qi Zhengnan wrapped his arms around his arm to prevent him from running around, took out his phone with the other hand, and directly entered a series of numbers on the interface.

At the same time as the confirm button was pressed, the transfer started.In the next second, they escaped from the thick fog and returned to a remote teleportation point near the executive square.

When the familiar streets and Spring Festival decorations came into view, Song Yin shivered several times.His knees suddenly gave way, and he almost fell to his knees on the snow with a plop.

Shaffley has already left, and Mithril will leave tomorrow; the list of retired executive officers has been leaked, and the consequences are unknown; Alexander and Mr. Lin are mother-child relationships, and they are inextricably linked with Sisyphus, who is making trouble in the world strands of contact...

Obviously, that cozy and consummate New Year's Eve has just passed, and everyone sat around the round table, satiated with wine and food, and played absurd games.But suddenly, a huge tornado flew in mid-air, turning the world upside down and making a mess.

No, now is not the time to worry about these things - Song Yin shook her head, trying to get rid of the negative energy.At the same time, he felt his body lighten. It was Qi Zhengnan who took the mithril from his back and gently placed it on the bench under the eaves.

"What's wrong?" Qi Zhengnan turned back to comfort him, "Sit down and take a rest?"

"...It's okay, I just tripped accidentally."

The more he asked this question, the more absolutely Song Yin could not make him worry any more: "Shafelai was taken away by those birdmen in white clothes, so Akesha should have known about the list of gambling boats... we What else should we do now?"

"I have no idea." Qi Zhengnan didn't deliberately conceal his true thoughts: "It's too cold here, let's take Mithril back first."

They quickly got in touch with Yu Gutai's other team members and temporarily hid Mithril in Yu Gutai's combat preparation room.

Shaffley's hypnotic talent seemed very strong, but Mithril was still sleeping peacefully.All the rest of the team gathered together to listen to Qi Zhengnan and Song Yin's report of what happened just now.

Zhen Zhe was the first to express his opinion: "Before I did not support the idea that Sisyphus arrested people for Ayahuasca, because Sisyphus simply did not have the ability to find a large number of retired executives as its seedbed. But now this condition Already mature, the production of ayahuasca may blow out."

"He didn't hesitate to start a war in order to gain profits? Who did Sisyphus think he was? The Eight-Power Allied Forces or Trump?" The pika made a skeptical voice: "Sisyphus provoked Aksha? Is it worth it?"

"What Sisyphus wants to do is not the most important thing." Bison tried to make a new point of view. , you can be prepared.”

"Now, Sisyphus is kidnapping retired executives on a large scale." Qi Zhengnan said the news he just got from the system: "Although the human forces have started protection operations. But the gambling ship list does not include all retired executives. And the base of this group of people is very large. Now it is like picking sesame seeds from the sand, which is not easy.”

"What about the original list of the casino?" Song Yin asked, "If we compare it with that one, it will be more efficient, right?"

"..." Qi Zhengnan didn't say anything, just shook his head.

There was a sudden dead silence all around.

"I didn't expect Lao Sha to do such a thing!" The red-eyed pika said bitterly: "In his eyes, other than little Mithril, don't other people's lives count as life?! Little Mithril is also... Really can't avoid the limelight before going back? Is there really no better way..."

As he spoke, he began to cry again, with snot and tears.

"It's so noisy, shut up." Zhen Zhe lightly punched him on the back, and took advantage of the situation to wrap his arms around his shoulders, comforting him silently.

"Man is lonely after all, man is mortal after all, and life is meaningless after all①." Buffalo said suddenly, "I have known Shaffley longer than all of you. This was before he met Mithril. My mantra. It was Mithril that changed him, but it was just a gleam of light. After the light disappeared, the remaining darkness was still boundless."

"No one wants to see the current result, but it's done and it's useless to regret it. Let's all look forward."

Qi Zhengnan began to adjust the mentality of the team members, guiding them to see the reality in front of them: "Assuming that those hostages have been infected now, it will take at least 24 to 36 hours to actually form a copy of the nightmare -- that is to say, the human execution force is the busiest right now. The moment, and our battle will not officially start until one day at the earliest. Please hurry up and recharge your batteries, and we will officially enter the standby state in 12 hours."

Having said that, he looked down at Mithril lying on the sofa again: "I don't think there is any need to wait for Mithril to wake up again. What was wrong has already been wrong, and what was lost has already been lost, so why let him forget it completely? Go through the pain again. What do you think?"

The others obviously never considered this issue, and no one responded for a while.But judging from the expression, no one thought of a better way.

"I support you." Song Yin expressed his attitude, "Shafelai said that he gave Mithril a sweet dream, so let him return to the real world in the sweet dream."

No one raised a clear objection, and Qi Zhengnan summoned Mithril's assistant officer for the last time in the name of the captain.

"Please send him to the place of oblivion, help him complete his retirement and leave purgatory."

The place of oblivion is the legendary "Forgotten Terrace".For executives who have not retired, it is an absolute forbidden zone.Legend has it that as long as you close the memory in purgatory, you can quickly return to your physical body in the world.

"Understood." The reliable female assistant calmly accepted Qi Zhengnan's commission, "I will ensure that he travels safely until he successfully retires and returns to his correct body."

As she spoke, she hugged Mithril Daheng on the sofa with such strength that it seemed effortless.

"Miss Xia!!" The pika stood up and chased after two steps, and hugged the tall woman who was half a head taller than him from behind: "I will miss you!"

"I'll miss you too."

The assistant officer who was called Xiaoxia looked back at the worried executives, and then returned with a hearty smile: "Why are you unhappy? Isn't this a good thing for you humans?"

"There's a good side, but there's also a sad part." Song Yin suggested, "Do you...do you want to separate from the other assistant officials?"

The assistant officer shook his head: "I said goodbye just now. Like you, we also have our own contact information."

While speaking, she had already walked to the wall of the combat preparation room, and saw a plain wooden door quietly appearing on the wall, and there were calligraphy couplets in black and red on a red background on the left and right sides.

[Flowers bloom after snow and spring is here, and the sweetness of the bitterness comes to swallows and angelica]

No one at the scene knew the origin of this door, but they vaguely understood that it might be inextricably linked with Mithril's real home.Just judging from this pair of couplets, the relatives who stayed in the world are also looking forward to a beautiful miracle day and night.

Soon, their wishes will become reality.When spring comes, the little swallow who stays beside the green-eyed king should indeed fly back to its old nest.

When he reached the teleportation gate, the assistant officer turned around for the last time, embraced the sleeping Mithril in his arms, and bowed to everyone in Yugutai: "Let's go."

Qi Zhengnan also led the crowd to bow deeply in return: "Over the years, you have worked hard. I hope we will have the opportunity to continue to cooperate."

"Probably not." The female assistant officer shook her head, but added a proviso: "However, maybe we will meet again."

After saying this, she stopped delaying and walked towards the wooden door with her head down.And in the next second, there was a flash of white light, and the wooden door disappeared from the wall, no matter whether it was Mithril or the assistant officer, there was no trace to be found.

For several minutes after that, the executive officers who stayed in the combat preparation room fell into an unusually gloomy atmosphere.

As the captain, Qi Zhengnan knew that this was not a good thing. What the players urgently needed now was someone to tell them clearly what to do next.

"Don't stay here and think wildly, go back and have a good rest! Talk to your assistant officer, and do counseling in time for those who should be counseled, and prepare to regroup in 12 hours!"

Indeed, staying any longer would only hurt the scene.The people in Yugutai dispersed one after another.Qi Zhengnan was still the last one to leave. He habitually did the routine inspection before leaving, but found a bunch of inconspicuous light blue flowers left in the corner next to the sofa.

It was the bundle of forget-me-nots that Shaffley gave Mithril.

In just a few hours, both the flower sender and the flower receiver have left forever, leaving only this bouquet of immortal flowers that will never wither, blooming alone in purgatory.Where will it flow?And many years later, whoever sees this bouquet of flowers again, does he know what it has witnessed?

When Song Yin turned his eyes to Qi Zhengnan again, what he saw was such a scene - his lover lowered his head, staring at the bouquet in his hand, although his eyes were blocked by the drooping bangs, but that kind of extreme loneliness and melancholy , still nothing to hide.

Although she was not sure what to do next, Song Yin knew that she couldn't turn a blind eye.

He stepped lightly, came to Qi Zhengnan's side, and then slowly leaned on his shoulder: "...What should I do, I really want to cry now, can you accompany me?"

Qi Zhengnan was quiet for a moment, and soon understood Song Yin's intentions.

"...I'm not as fragile as you think."

He turned around and hugged Song Yin, and the two of them cuddled together in silence for a while.No one really shed a tear, and the lonely may be vulnerable, but they are not alone.

Then, as if regaining courage and motivation from this silent hug, Qi Zhengnan handed the small bouquet to Song Yin, and then patted his arm.

"Let's go, let's take the flowers back and plant them in the flower bed."

The author has something to say: ①Camus: "There is only one really serious philosophical problem and that is suicide" "The Myth of Sisyphus"

By the way, the book "The Myth of Sisyphus" is also the origin of the name of the Sisyphus organization, so Sisyphus is not a symbol of futility, but "tragic heroism that knows what can't be done" in Camus' eyes.

Of course, this is what Sisyphus saw in himself, but in the eyes of others, they are still an organization with brain problems...
