Red Mist Games

Chapter 12 Tears
Entrance 10A, 10th Floor, Building A, Future Apartment.

"Can I go in?" Chen Shui asked.

Lin You nodded and invited him into the dark room.

"Aren't you going to turn on the light?" Chen Shui asked again.

"It doesn't matter if it's open or not, it's all black."

Lin You sat back by the window, and from her tone, it could be heard that she was still in a bad mood.

Chen Shui looked at her back alone, didn't reply, just went to the water dispenser and got a glass of water.

"Do you really want to disband?" He stopped a meter away from Lin You. Maybe it was too dark and the temperature was too cold. This glass of ordinary cold water from the drinking machine seemed to have been filled with ice cubes. His palms were cold.

"Ah."

Lin You lowered her head, the emptiness of the lights made it impossible to see her expression clearly, she seemed to be one with the night.

"I want to know the reason." Chen Shui said.

"She refuses to accept me, you are too weak."

"It's not this." Chen Shui walked to her side, handed the ice water to her hand, and said, "I want to know the reason for your sadness, not the reason for disbanding."

The white moonlight poured into the window, Lin You only felt that his eyes were pricked and hurt.

She asked: "Do you know how the Red Mist game developed in the end?"

"do not know."

"Supernatural beings occupy all resources, and others bow down to them." Lin You's voice was a little hoarse, as if from a long time ago, hoarse and vicissitudes: "In order to obtain resources, everyone will give everything... Money, dignity, trust...everyone is no longer human, human becomes non-human, and every non-human is more terrifying than an evolutionary."

She suddenly grabbed Chen Shui's sleeve and said loudly, "That's endless! Do you understand?! There is red mist in every underground place! The most terrifying one! I only spent a month The time has witnessed the death of all!!"

She swallowed her saliva, her tone became agitated, and she was very scared: "Doctor...the doctor is probably not dead! His laboratory is the most powerful murder weapon in the world!!"

Chen Shui's brows twitched in confusion, he followed Lin You and took his hand, knelt down on one knee, and asked, "So, Lin You, did you escape from there?"

"Ah."

"How long have you been in there?"

"Forever." Lin You looked at his empty eyes and said, "I stayed there for the rest of my life."

……

Lin You asked again: "Do you know what is the most ironic thing?"

Chen Shui shook his head.

There was a self-deprecating smile on the corner of Lin You's mouth, and she said: "The most ironic thing is that in their eyes, my painful life is just a data with certain value."

"They let people into the experimental cabin before the experiment started, and called it the most interesting game, but they never participated. After obtaining the desired data, they welcomed you out enthusiastically, and told you with mercy... "Congratulations on surviving, you can live a normal life for a while. "... This life is yet another prison, a prison without red mist."

She looked at Chen Shui, with some kind of deep emotion in her eyes, Chen Shui recognized that emotion, it was fear, sadness, anger, and despair.

"There, I met my benefactor. She tried her best to protect me and help me escape. Even if the matter was revealed and I was in danger of being executed, she never revealed my whereabouts. What I told you before "never miss the dead" , was the first thing she taught me... and the last thing she taught me."

Chen Shui looked at her without saying a word.

The room fell into dead silence.

Lin You turned her head away, and her emotions returned from turmoil to calm. When she turned her head again, her expression had returned to indifference: "Have you finished what you want to know? You can go."

After saying this emotionally, she also regained that feeling.

The feeling of not caring about other things in the red mist experiment except for his own death.

That unforgiving feeling.

Yes, that's the way...you have to be ruthless...to survive to the end in this never-ending "Red Mist Game"...

"Lin You." Chen Shui turned his head around at some point, looked at her calmly with his delicate eyes, and said, "You said two things wrong."

The glare of moonlight spilled into the window again, but this time, Chen Shui blocked it.

He outlined the shadow with his body, covering Lin You who was sitting.

He smiled.

This is the first time Lin You saw him smile, even when he and Chen Yiping reunited in Building B 10A, he didn't smile.

He said: "First, I'm not here to talk, I really want to know the reason for your sadness."

Lin You asked: "Then do you know now?"

Chen Shui bent down, held her hand with both hands, held the glass of ice water in her hand, and said, "Got it. That's why I laughed... You don't want to disband the team at all, and my brother, that idiot, is not afraid." People brought..."

Chen Shui understood that all of Lin You's emotions came from the past.Past fears, past sorrows, past anger, past despair...

Suddenly, the glass of ice water in Lin You's hand seemed not so cold anymore.

Chen Shui continued: "Second, you didn't stay there your whole life."

He put his face close to Lin You's, getting closer and closer... until his artfully curly bangs fell on Lin You's face, he continued: "Lin You, here This is not the Red Mist Experiment Cabin, this is reality, this is the future apartment, this is your home! This is not only your home, but also Zhao Tietie’s home, Chen Yiping’s and me’s home, and Mu Chang’s home... this Yes, the home of the survival team on the tenth floor of Building A of our future apartment."

It was rare for his eyes to not be dark, and instead of deep, there was a little bit of starlight: "Lin You, no one here will call you "the game is over". Because the game here has never started."

……

The moonlight was blocked, but Lin You still felt it was dazzling.

She pushed the man in front of her away, her vision gradually blurred, as if something heavy was about to fall from her eye sockets, she tried hard to stop it, but it was of no avail.

is it?

Is that so?

So this game never started?
She remembered how she felt when she took the key from Xia's mother and walked into 10A, Building A, the future apartment for the first time.

She had indeed escaped, and what she was in now was reality, a reality in which the red mist had just begun.

Tears fell from the corners of her eyes, taking away the sadness, remorse and depression that had been suppressed for many years.

Seeing her finally crying, Chen Shui secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

I can cry...

If you can cry, there's nothing wrong with it.

"Lin You." Chen Shui said the last sentence he had prepared: "That day you said to me: "I am optimistic about you, let's live together to the end." Now I will answer your sentence: Let's live together to the end, Lin You, live with all of us until the end!"

"..."

"Speak out if you have anything, there is nothing that everyone can't solve."

"I'm afraid I can't protect you well..."

"what?"

"I said... I'm afraid I'll make the wrong decision..." Lin You's voice was a little choked up, and he spoke intermittently: "This Red Mist game definitely has experienced players like me... the one I met today "Wen Ye" means...I'm afraid I'll make a wrong decision...and push you into the abyss..."

She couldn't imagine what the apocalyptic society in the red mist experiment would look like when it was enlarged in reality. It must be a darkness she couldn't face, and it must be darker than tonight's night...

Chen Shui encouraged and said: "It's okay, I believe in you, just like Mu Shang. I don't think your decision is wrong. Whether it's today's decision or tomorrow's decision, at least you are the most correct decision-maker in our team. The tallest person, because you have experienced the red mist experiment, you know the background of the red mist. I believe that it is out of your consideration that you let go of the food today."

Hearing his words, Lin You stopped crying.

Chen Shui continued to output: "I asked you during the first meeting at 10A, "Do you protect us whether we are supernatural beings or ordinary people? "At that time you gave me a positive answer, and I knew then that you would not make a wrong decision."

Lin You looked up at him.

Chen Shui said: "Let's put it this way...you will not make decisions that violate human nature. You are not a brutal person, and you can lead us to a bright future."

Chen Shui's eyes were full of trust, and he said: "I believe in you, Lin You! Not only me, everyone in the team believes in you! Even Mu Chang believed in you before he quarreled with you! Cheer up! Live up to the trust of all of us! In the future, the survival team on the tenth floor of Apartment Building A will definitely persevere... Let's live together until the end! Together with all of us!"

despair--

The 10A lamp was turned on, and the dazzling light was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

Zhao Tietie, who had listened to the corner for a long time, was finally relieved at this moment. The crisis of disbanding the survival team on the tenth floor of Building A was finally lifted temporarily... Zhao Tietie was not worried at all that Mu Shang would continue to be angry unilaterally. Just fix that.

Zhao Tietie lay back on the bed with his earphones on. Probably because he hadn't had a good rest these two days, he could always hear the rustling sounds outside the window, which was scary.

Next door to him, Chen Shui made another glass of water for Lin You, this time it was lukewarm water.

Chen Shui asked Lin You: "Mu Chang, what are you going to do?"

Lin You has completely returned to normal. She replied directly: "I will apologize. No one will come out tomorrow. I will sincerely apologize to her and explain what happened today."

"Aren't you afraid that she will be unforgiving?"

Lin You took a sip of water and said, "She's not this kind of person, at least so far I don't think so. Although the time we get along is short, I think she is more reliable than Zhao Tietie and Chen Yiping, and she is not unreasonable."

"They're not comparable."

"……Too."

"Give me something to eat." Chen Shui said suddenly.

"Aren't you full?"

"It's Chen Yiping." Chen Shui took out a bag of crispy noodles and three bottles of eight-treasure porridge from the kitchen, and said, "See you tomorrow, I'll go back first, otherwise Chen Yiping will starve to death."

Lin You raised the phone and finally said: "Let me ask one last question, why did you call your name so good?"

If Chen Shui's friend application had no remarks, she would have thought that Chen Shui was Zhao Tietie's alias... Because the second she received Chen Shui's friend application, Zhao Tietie started bombarding her with text messages.

Chen Shui was stunned for a moment, never expecting that she would ask this question.He thought for a moment and replied, "Because a good name can make it easier for your friends to remember you."

"..."

10D, 10th Floor, Building A, Future Apartment.

Mu Xiangrong's voice penetrated the roof: "Who will follow you to your villa! Stop dreaming!!"

If 10A, which just finished the long talk, is a shining star in the dark night, then at this time, 10D is no less bright than it.

The living room of Mu's house is brightly lit. This is the electricity borrowed from Lin You. Mu Chang is standing in the living room and rushing to pack his things.
