“That’s debatable if you’re planning to help another jailbreak at the Zerg Royal Prison.” Cen Zhen did not refuse Lian Yu’s touch. Although he behaved as usual, like Lian Yu, he was still under the influence of heat, and the Sentinel’s pheromones made him feel much better.
After a few words, Lian Yu’s sitting position has changed from being a docile little daughter-in-law to a superior man lying on his side on the bed. He supported his chin with one hand and lightly rubbed the other hand against the back of Cen Zhen’s hand, flirting. “I can’t help it. I owed him a favor in my previous life. If I die thoroughly in that fire, I wouldn’t have to pay it back, but who would’ve known that I’d be reborn again?”
As he spoke, he poked the raised bone on Cen Zhen’s wrist with his index finger, “Why, are you interested in him?”
Lian Yu deliberately spoke ambiguously, and Cen Zhen noticed it, so he also deliberately delayed the two sentences very far: “A little… After all, I have never seen the Zerg.”
“Hmph.” Lian Yu retracted his hand, “That’s a male insect. I don’t know where he and his little female insect are hiding in the wilderness.”
“…Your description sounded very much like two grasshoppers.”
Lian Yu thought for a moment, “That’s about right. Female insects of the Zerg tribe have wings on their backs. When they flutter…”
“Stop.” Cen Zhen didn’t want to continue this topic any longer. Lian Yu smiled mischievously, “Why, are you afraid of insects?”
“I’m just more concerned about other things,” Cen Zhen said. “This is your third life? Are you reborn from birth? What did you do in your second and first lives?”
“No, in this life I was reborn the day before the match-making party. I was at a loss, exhausted, and didn’t know why I had to wake up again.” In front of Cen Zhen, Lian Yu didn’t hide a single bit anymore. It was unnecessary, and he didn’t want to. “In my first life, I learned about my illness on the day I entered the Tower at the age of 18. I didn’t care about it. I occasionally participated in the matching-making party according to the credit requirements. I was very talented. My mental strength was S and my physical strength was S. No one was up to my standard.
But in the seventh grade, my atrophy was so severe that I had to drop out of school. I used the union’s system to screen any Guide who met the baseline compatibility with me from every source available.
At that time, I was very eager to live, a true Sentinel in their twenties, with a bright future and good wishes. I actively cooperated with the attending doctor to do all the treatments that might delay the shrinkage of my spiritual space. ”
Lian Yu took a deep breath and said slowly: “In the last year and a half, I have been unable to see a single spiritual body. My mental health is also very poor. I am sleepy all the time. There is no news from the union. I have dropped out of school for many years. My classmates have all graduated, and almost no students from Class 1 stayed on the planet after graduation… I seem to have been forgotten by the whole world.”
“One day when I was 30 years old, I did something that I regret deeply.”
This sentence caused a change in Cen Zhen’s eyes. He originally lowered his eyes to listen, but before Lian Yu finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Lian Yu. The other party was actually smiling, full of sarcasm, “I went to the hospital and found my attending physician. The doctor I trusted wholeheartedly, and I still refused to give up any hope and insisted on waiting until the last moment. I asked him to kill me when it was time for me to finally fall into the deep sleep.”
“He broke the promise.” Cen Zhen made a judgment from the few words Lian Yu said before. These are all information that was not mentioned in the novel. These also explain the strange behaviors of Dark Sentinel 1802 in the story. What he did was aimless, with nothing to gain, not for money, and not for sex. The wantonness makes people confused. In the end, it blooms with dazzling light like a flame at its last moment and burns out.
“I was reborn at the age of 18 in my second life, in first grade. The day after I learned that I had Spiritual Space Atrophy, what do you think was the first thing I did?”
“…Find that doctor.”
“You should be bolder and use a different verb.”
“……”
“I killed him.” Lian Yu said with a smile: “I blindfolded his eyes, cut his blood vessels, and kept him awake to feel his blood flow cleanly bit by bit… He kept shouting that he had done no injustice to me. Asked me why I wanted to kill him. He was just a Guide doctor who treated diseases and saved people. He shouted so hard that I softened my heart… Then, I saw thousands of books and papers on spiritual black holes in his terminal. I saw him discussing the Sentinel’s spiritual black hole with other doctors, but unfortunately, there was no entity for them to study… So he let me stay alone in the eternal darkness for decades just to satisfy these doctors’ curiosity about the spiritual black hole?!
“I live in torture every minute of the day for so long, and the endless pain I have suffered has become the capital of their research. Whenever I think of the possibility that they might become famous using my eternal pain as a stepping stone……”
Lian Yu lost control of his emotions…Cen Zhen silently increased the release of his pheromones and forcefully changed the subject: “I also have something to confess to you.”
“……” Lian Yu was stunned for a moment, then said in hindsight, “What happens afterward in the second life…”
“I know a little about it.” Cen Zhen made a gesture, and the smart housekeeper in the dormitory immediately woke up. A piece of roof suddenly protruded, and then the brick embedded in the ceiling slowly floated down. On it was a physical paper-base book with only the cover and no title.
“Such a coincidence… you are someone who is reborn and I am a transmigrator.” Cen Zhen let Lian Yu lie down and tucked him in. The past has happened and he cannot change it. He only hopes that his existence can make him feel a bit better.
“Transmigration…you don’t belong here?” Lian Yu picked up the book. In this world, paper books are rare. He squinted his eyes. “The two people on the cover look familiar.”
“You can be bold and call them by their names.”
“…” Lian Yu’s face twisted for a moment, “Yao Jin, and… Pan?”
“Um.”
Lian Yu opened the book and scanned through the book ten lines at a time, “…Did you write this?”
“No, our world is just a book.” Cen Zhen said directly, not caring whether Lian Yu would be unable to accept such heavy information when he was unprepared. He believed in the psychological quality of Dark Sentinel 1802, “This should be the story of your second life. The protagonist is Yao Jin and Pan, and you are the villain boss. Boss is a language in the world where I was born, which means the one ruling, the person who gives out orders.”
“Quite intriguing. Who is the person who wrote this story? The master of the world?” Lian Yu’s ability to accept was as expected by Cen Zhen. He was very adaptable to Cen Zhen’s statement and believed it without a doubt. There was only unconcealed excitement in his eyes.
Maybe he doesn’t care whether he is a character in the book or not. It doesn’t matter what he is. Lian Yu is very satisfied with his current situation. As long as it can be maintained and continued, he doesn’t mind being a character in a book at all.
“I don’t know. This book was in my arms when I just got here. The author of the book didn’t leave any other clues for me, contact me, or give me any restrictions.”
“I saw you!” With these words, Lian Yu’s reading speed slowed down. After reading two pages, he frowned and then slowly relaxed, “No, this is not you… it’s the ‘Cen Zhen’ in my second life.”
“Well, it’s Cen Zhen in the book.”
“…” Lian Yu didn’t have the patience to read the entire book like Cen Zhen did. He thought and said: “If this is the case, many strange things about you can be answered… Then what about the current world line, still progressing according to the book?”
Cen Zhen shook his head, “You and I have changed it. At least no one should want to take advantage of my glands now. But the place where the butterfly’s wings are not fluttering is still the same as the plot line.”
“…For example?”
“For example, in a few days, a beautiful princess from the Jiao tribe will come to the Special Planet and become an exchange student in the White Tower, for a period of three months, to represent the friendship between the two tribes.”
“Huh?” Lian Yu raised the end tone, meaning: what’s so important about that?
“The princess fell in love with Yao Jin at first sight. Before she left, she knocked Yao Jin out when he was not paying attention, and took him back to Jiao Planet with her.”
Lian Yu: “……”
Lian Yu was so frightened by this horrific plot that he pressed his forehead: “…This is the folk custom of the Jiao tribe. If you have a liking for it, just take it home. What happened next?”
“Then Pan spent forty chapters chasing his husband for thousands of miles, and finally made Princess Jiao moved by their true love.”
“…What kind of story is this book?”
“Love story.”
“…” Lian Yu rubbed his forehead again. He suspected that Cen Zhen’s frequent temple twitching had been transmitted to him,
“What role did you say I had before?”
“The villain boss died early but refused to stop making trouble even after the death. You left many problems behind. The majority of the rest of the book was about the protagonists solving the troubles caused by you.”
Cen Zhen’s summary was simply the best compliment to Lian Yu in his previous life. He was happy and smiled, “Really?”
“You can see for yourself.”
“Don’t read it.” Lian Yu put the eye-catching romance novel back in its place with disgust, “I’m not interested in either of them at all. Why do you have such a soft spot for that little fool… I’m more interested in you, Cen Zhen, tell me about your original world, where are you from?”
“I come from the past, and technology is far inferior to the current era.” Cen Zhen was as honest as Lian Yu to him, “We can only live on the planet under our feet for the rest of our lives, isolated from other planets, let alone other galaxies.”
Lian Yu turned sideways and put his head on Cen Zhen’s shoulder affectionately, “What is the name of your planet?”
“Earth.”
“Many races call their ancestral planet this way.”
“Well,” Cen Zhen continued: “There is only one race on earth, humans, who are the ancestors of us Sentinels and Guides thousands of years ago.”
“You are a human?” Lian Yu raised his head in surprise, “There are only humans on your earth?”
“Correct.”
“That… was a long time ago.” Lian Yu raised a strand of his long hair, “I’m not good at history, but humans don’t have glands, right?”
“That’s right, there is no spiritual body or spiritual space either. There are only two genders, male and female. Most children are conceived in the womb of women. There are also in vitro fertilization children similar to Special Planet, but very backward. We have the concept of family, usually, a family consists of parents and children.”
Lian Yu listened with great interest. The Sentinels and Guides of the Special Planet were born for war. The concept of family is inherently weak, and there is no need for the existence of a family. The reproductive function of women has also gradually deteriorated. The current pregnancy rate is very low, and it is easy to have dystocia. Therefore, even if one becomes pregnant, one will choose to have an abortion. Most of them are born in the gene room. Before the age of six, the code name is randomly selected by the AI system. After the age of six, they can name themselves. Before the age of eighteen, they live in school and learn basic knowledge such as writing. After the age of eighteen, they enter the Tower or White Tower and learn everything related to combat.
For Lian Yu, he had never heard of what Cen Zhen had described, “Parents… Cen Zhen, you also have parents, right?”
“…” Cen Zhen moved his arm which was slightly numb from being the pillow. Lian Yu immediately raised his head, wrapped his long arms around him, and pulled Cen Zhen into his arms. It’s either you pillowing on me or I pillowing on you. At least one of them has to be a pillow.
“Of course I do.” After twenty years of growth, Cen Zhen’s heart has long been hardened. Even if he uncovers this past incident, he can only feel as if it was a lifetime ago. The pain of his childhood can no longer hurt him, “But I have never met my father, and my mother abandoned me in a wilderness on the border between China and Russia when I was six years old.”
Original Author’s Note:
I estimate they still need another chapter to uncover all the information. After all, there is just too much to talk about, and it will take a long time.
I adjusted their age again. I was writing in such a hurry yesterday that I forgot that Catfish dropped out of school for three years.
A summary for now is that he lived for 30 years in his first life, and dropped out of school at the age of 24 when he was in the seventh grade, to seek treatment. Hardly made it to 30 years old with treatment.
In his second life, he was reborn at the age of 18 and lived to the age of 29, enjoyed creating all kinds of trouble during this lifetime. Knowing he was going to die at the age of 30, he committed suicide a year early.
Not counting the time he spent in the spiritual black hole, he lived for a total of 41 years? ? ?
Cen Zhen is 21 years old, and their age difference is 20 years… a handsome uncle and a handsome young man? ? ?
