It seems that because of Christmas, the town is very lively tonight.
Snowflakes are floating in the sky, dyeing the whole world white, and the air is filled with joy. Pedestrians in twos and threes walk through the white streets together, singing festive songs.
"Hey! Deputy Director! Don't drink, you drank too much! You can't speak clearly!"
"Don't pull me, Connor! I'm not drunk—I'm not drunk! ...Hi! Oh my god, my head hurts..."
"Huh? Peart! Why are you back! Didn't you go to work in a big city!"
"I feel homesick after going out for a long time, isn't it Christmas today! Of course I want to go home for such an important holiday!"
"Long time no see! Come, come, let's have a drink, and then visit your house!"
…
Rhine sat alone by the window of the VIP suite and looked down. All of this seemed so warm to him, and when he thought of who was responsible for their warmth not being destroyed by those SCPs, the corners of Rhine's mouth unconsciously Put on a smile.
But suddenly, he was a little lonely.
"When can I go home and see...oh yes, I'm homeless..."
It’s probably like this. His parents lost their lives because of the SCP. The young Rhine was recruited by the Foundation because of his abilities during the investigation. Since then... he rarely goes to containment The places outside the site are endless experiments every day. Watching human lives disappearing in front of my eyes, even my heart becomes numb. Small personal goals are no longer goals. Struggle has become everyone's ideal.
But it’s obvious that everyone can’t do anything except to have ideals. They lost their lives trying to prevent the SCP from escaping, but there will always be a next time. Sometimes even Rhine thinks it’s better to learn from the GOC to kill the SCP by keeping the SCP for research. Let everyone live a normal life.
But in fact... He knows very well that even if all the SCPs are wiped out, a truly normal life will not come. This is like many people. The machete is coming for you.
Only when they see these ordinary people living a happy life can they feel some comfort, the hard work is not in vain, and the sacrifices made by the dead are not without value.
Ah, it's obviously a holiday today, so thinking about this kind of ruins the atmosphere.
So, looking at the members of Sword-9 who were thoroughly excited, Cao Li Lailai took two sips of vodka to suppress his shock.
Suddenly, Cao Li Lailai noticed an unknown object hitting his face at high speed. He was tasting wine at that time, and hurriedly opened his eyes to dodge, but it was too late. The milky white slammed into his face hard.
Well, it's actually just a cake.
"..."
With a blank expression on his face, the cake slowly slid down to the ground. Cao Li Lailai with a creamy face looked at Gaiya and fell silent.
"How does it taste?" Gaia asked with a smile.
"I hate you... Forget it, there are children here, so you can't swear... Oh, it's very sweet, isn't this a hot pot restaurant? How come there are cakes?"
"It's not just cakes, everything is sold here." As he said, Gaia picked up a fork and put a piece of cake on the table beside him into his mouth.
Detroit Green Hot Pot Restaurant...Well, it deserves to be a five-star.........
"It's shameful to waste, do you know?" Cao Li Lailai took a towel and wiped his face after looking at the cake under his feet.
"Why? We were having fun here, but when we turned around and saw you thinking about your life, it was as if someone had stolen your house." Gaia took a sip of his wine and said, "What are you thinking about? It's okay."
"It's okay." Cao Li Lailai shook his head and then stood up. He looked around: "It's Christmas, shouldn't you give Lili some presents or something?"
"Huh? The one who gave the gift is Santa Claus. What does it have to do with Gaia?" Gaia gave Cao Li Lailai a look: ""
Cao Li Lailai: ""
Suddenly, Rhine covered his head with his hands.
"Hello? What's the matter with you?"
"I have a bit of a headache. I'm still sick, but I should be fine after taking two pills."
Gaiya looked up and down Cao Li Lailai suspiciously several times: "You said it's okay, don't look for me if you die suddenly..." Then Gaiya found Xili who was sitting on the sofa and playing with her mobile phone Ya — before he left, he turned his head again: "Sooner or later you will die suddenly..."
CNM, it's like I like cultivating immortals... Cursing me to death every day, I think you are deliberately making things difficult for me, Rhine.
Alas, I'm so envious, Gaia already has girlfriends... This reminded Cao Li Lailai of a joke:
A D-class personnel once asked an older single doctor such a question: "Doctor, why don't you find a girlfriend? Aren't you afraid of being lonely?"
As he said that, the doctor took out his pistol and shot the D-class personnel in the head: "Why don't you dodge the bullet? Aren't you afraid of death?"
...extremely true.
"I don't have much appetite..." The table was full of delicious food and drink, but Cao Li Lailai couldn't arouse his appetite, and his head became a little groggy.
He shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up: "...it's quite early, it's rare to come out... go outside."
The room is too noisy, although Cao Li Lailai has long been used to it, but it feels unbearable tonight, he would rather go out and buy something by himself than continue to sit here...Of course, not for himself , he doesn’t want anything at all, he has two boxes of hair growth cream at home, if he wants to buy it, he will buy it for others...
Thinking about it, Cao Li Lailai glanced at his wallet—hey, local tyrant.
Finally, Rhine glanced at the carnival crowd and left quietly, just as he came quietly, only taking a bottle of Gaia's vodka.
Gaia: "!?"
…
The weather was quite cold, and Rhine carefully observed the snowflakes. He was bored in the underground storage site all year round. He hadn't seen snow for a long time.
The pain in his head gradually deepened, which made Rhine frowned. I'm afraid there is no chance to spend the holiday with other people today. He needs to return to the containment site to rest as soon as possible... I don't know if I will wake up one day. Will really come to heaven as Gaia said, and then see a white-bearded grandfather God staring at the women's bathhouse with a telescope.
But before that, let's get things done...just a violin away and everything's ok.
Thinking of this, Rhine stopped a pedestrian and decided to ask for directions.
"Hello, miss, where can I find..."
The girl who was younger than Rhine turned her head. She carefully observed Rhine's face several times before she was startled: "Senior Rhine!?"
Rhine was taken aback: "You know me?"
The girl's eyes lit up and she nodded: "Our junior high school is in the same school! Have you forgotten? Although you may not remember me, I will always remember you! Your grades have always been the first in the school. I don't want to remember It’s hard for you! It’s just that you skipped a grade to Cambridge University!...Do you remember? The girl who fainted on the street that night was me! If you hadn’t saved me, the consequences would have been disastrous!”
"...Ah, that's it..." Old Rhine blushed and scratched the back of his head, as if such a thing really happened. He was still young at that time, but he was much more aggressive than now : "I remembered... You don't have to thank me, you should do everything, but then why are you here? This is America."
As she said that, the girl was able to show off the ring on her finger: "Because of love!...Then why are you here, senior?"
"......Work reasons."
"Ah! Someone as talented as a senior must be a good job!"
Thinking of the hideous faces that died tragically under the light, Rhine twitched his eyebrows and forced a smile: "Well, it's not bad. Although I encountered some difficulties, I overcame them."
In fact, at this time, as long as you pay a little attention, you can find that Rhine's complexion is wrong, but because it is late and the girl is quite nervous, she didn't notice this.
"That's good! Then again, senior, what did you want to ask me just now?"
"Oh, I want to know if there is a musical instrument store around here. I want to buy some musical instruments for a friend of mine."
"Ah, go straight and see the intersection, then turn left and there is a family about 50 meters away! I learned piano there before... Oh, senior, senior, are you okay?"
"..." Hearing this, Rhine shook his head to wake himself up, unknowingly, the pain had made him bend down... It seemed that he was hallucinating again, what kind of disease is this? ? Mingming's doctor confirmed that everything was normal when he checked his body...: "It's all right, I just have a headache, I have some things to do, so I'm leaving first."
"Well, it's time for me to go too, see you senior! …Merry Christmas!"
"......Merry Chrismas."
Rhine walked alone on the street and sighed, the world is not worth it.
"Life!...It's really lonely like snow."
One disadvantage of working in the foundation is that when you have gone a long way, when you look back, you either find yourself in heaven, or you find that all the people around you have gone to heaven...not every Individuals are resurrected like Bright, they have only one life, and once they give their lives for the continuation of mankind, they will never have another.
Use your life to protect the continuation of the human race. Although the Foundation always uses D-class personnel inhumanely for experiments and watches them die in despair, they really secretly protect those innocent people who still live in the light , it can be said that without the foundation, there would be no harmonious world as it is now.
Thinking about life, but soon Rhine was awakened by a loud horn, and he had come to the intersection before he knew it. The weather is very cold. Immediately after the snow melts, it freezes on the streets, which makes the ground very slippery. Some cars can't stop because they are driving too fast, which is extremely easy to cause traffic accidents.
Rhine, who was awakened by the sound of the horn, looked towards the middle of the street, and saw a little girl holding a teddy bear standing in the middle of the street shivering. She looked at the big truck rushing straight ahead like a wild beast and honking like a roaring horn. Shocked and dumbfounded, he stood there in a daze and didn't react for a long time.
Rhine's pupils shrank, and he quickly estimated the distance between him and the little girl and the distance between the truck and the little girl. Although the truck was fast, Rhine thought he could still catch up.
"Tsk..."
After hesitating for a moment, Rhine rushed out at a much faster speed than he predicted~www.mtlnovel.com~ so that when he reached the little girl, the truck was still some distance away from the two of them.
But suddenly, the sharp pain in his head made Rhine's body jerk. He pushed the little girl far away with all his strength and then froze in place until the heavy impact was felt.
Rhine can also feel that he was knocked out, and the angle of view rotates rapidly. No matter what he sees, it is a piece of white, which is very dazzling. When he reacted, he fell hard to the ground.
It's just a momentary thing.
Then, Rhine's vision gradually changed from white to black, and soon it became pitch black - he heard cries amidst the buzzing of his ears... followed by the sound of a musical instrument - it seemed to be the sound of bells , and it seems to be something else, Rhine is a little hard to tell.
"...Lexington...go there and see, Lexington..."
There was a female voice in his mind, the voice was melodious and crisp with the ringtone, even though his consciousness had become drowsy, Rhine was very clear that it was not what he heard... because the voice was too loud clear.
"Ha...ha..." Rhine opened his mouth wide and breathed in the air vigorously, but this caused his body to become weaker and weaker, as if everything was about to be sucked out of his body. The female voice was still echoing in his mind, even though he was almost fainted, it never stopped.
And just before he fell into a coma, what Rhine heard was a blessing accompanied by a crisp bell:
"happy holidays."
