Right on Target Chapter 44

Su Heting thought to himself: He must be very touched, and he must want to thank me very much.

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhenshu looked at the watch and said, "Well, you won't log off by yourself either."

Su Heting: "..."

Xie Zhenshu said: "Since Jue has encountered a problem, the daytime is unstable, and it will be dark at any time. It is two kilometers from here to the next refresh point, and we will drive there."

Su Heting sank his chin into the neckline of his jacket, and only used his nose to "hmm", which was regarded as a cold answer.

The supermarket parking lot is open, right next to it. The two climbed over the simple iron fence and picked up a large-capacity truck. Su Heting didn't want to kick the accelerator and overturn the two of them, so he automatically sat in the co-pilot seat.

In broad daylight, they were the only car driving on the road, and there were no traffic lights, so they arrived at the station in a few minutes.

Xie Zhenshu said, "Let's go."

Su Heting unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car first. He raised his hand to block the sun, squinted his eyes, and looked ahead. After a moment, he said, "Oh—Human Cub Learning Garden!"

His tone was pleasantly surprised, as if this was something new and interesting.

This is a retro-style kindergarten, with red paint on the gate and the words "Xiaopu Kindergarten" crooked on the top. The sentry boxes on both sides of the gate look very old, and there are radios on the tables inside, playing old news. The entrance is facing a flower bed, with many cartoon signs inserted, saying "Love Flowers and Plants". The gravel road is paved to the end, and there is a sky-blue teaching building with arched doors and windows, painted in various beautiful colors.

The two entered the garden, passed the flower beds, and walked on the gravel road.

Su Heting had a lot of questions, he first asked: "What is that?"

Xie Zhenshu followed the cat's fingers and said, "Slide down the slide."

Su Heting's expression was subtle and unbelievable: "Huh?"

That's all? Is it slippery enough? As soon as he stretched his legs, he reached the bottom.

Su Heting paused for a while and asked, "What is that?"

Xie Zhenshu said: "Seesaw."

Su Heting said: "So it looks like this, I know this, two people play."

There were a few small cars parked on the gravel road, Xie Zhenshu bypassed them, and from the corner of his eye he saw Su Heting passing by, still staring at the small cars, and said, "That's a twisty car."

Su Heting's cat's ears trembled slightly, he said "oh", and looked away, imagining it as a weird little car that he could twist.

There are no childcare units in the New World, and schools have disappeared. As early as in the old world, successive years of wars have caused the number of humans to drop sharply, the fertility rate in various places has dropped, and even completely deserted stagnation areas have appeared. Today Survival encourages survivors to procreate, but forbids the Splicers to touch any human cubs. Even though Xing Tian promised to give more protection to the families who gave birth to children, there were still very few people born. After all, supplies were scarce and it was difficult for everyone to have enough food.

After Su Heting became a splicing person, he hasn't seen children a few times. The reason why he knew the kindergarten was because he once squatted at the entrance of the supermarket and played cartoon thinking games, which contained many pictures of the old world.

Xie Zhenshu said: "Children aged 3 to 6 will study here."

Su Heting said: "I know the meaning of kindergarten, why does the main **** system set up a kindergarten?"

Xie Zhenshu opened the door of the teaching building and said, "This is not done by the Lord God system."

Su Heting followed into the room, which was even more strange.

If it's not the main **** system, then it's Jue. Why does Jue set up a kindergarten?

Xie Zhenshu went to the stairs and said to Su Heting: "The refresh point is in the storage room on the second floor, you wait for me here."

Su Heting nodded, and when Xie Zhenshu went upstairs, he began to wander around by himself. He first admired the paintings on the wall for a while, they were all simple crayon graffiti, with strange contents, including glass, rabbits and big lions. Su Heting thought to himself: Jue is a super-evolutionary system, which is smarter than the main **** system. Is it using the rabbit and lion holding hands to imply the great harmony of nature?

Um-

You, me, and him create a beautiful new world together.

Su Heting folded his arms and stared at the painting, convinced of this conjecture. He continued browsing until he saw the last one. It was a burning moon, and there were three lines of small characters written underneath.

[Day 2000. 】

[I'm still looking for you. 】

[I will never give up. 】

Su Heting whispered the second line: "I'm still looking for you..."

Was it written by Jue? Who is it looking for?

Su Heting looked at the paintings on the wall again, and felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if Jue was not a system, but a person.

Suddenly footsteps came from behind, Su Heting thought it was Xie Zhenshu, but the direction was wrong, the footsteps came from the other side. At the same time, the open door slammed shut.

Su Heting sighed: "Don't bother me."

The footsteps disappeared, and the hall was dead silent.

Su Heting turned around, the hall was empty and there was nothing. He wasn't sure what it was just now, maybe Jue was joking with him? But he quickly dismissed this idea, because he found that within a few minutes of entering the door, the sky had already turned yellow quietly.

Something is wrong.

Su Heting walked to the stairs and looked up at the second floor. He shouted, "Sir-officer-"

There was no movement upstairs, and Xie Zhenshu didn't answer.

Su Heting stepped upstairs, and when he reached the second floor, he put his hands in his coat pockets and let out an "oh" sound.

No wonder Xie Zhenshu didn't answer, the second floor is still the lobby.

Su Heting went up to another floor, and what he saw was still the hall, and it felt like every floor was a copy and paste of the hall. He became more and more interested, and walked towards the other end of the hall, and at the end was a door. Su Heting opened the door, and the hall was still outside the door.

Su Heting: "..."

The whole space seems to be folded, no matter which direction he goes or how he walks, he will return to the hall, where he is already trapped.

Su Heting returned the same way, and closed the door behind him. He didn't know what this meant, the main **** system was playing tricks? Or is it a bug in the penalty area? He walked past the crayon-painted walls again, looking at the flowers, and when he got to the end, he suddenly found that the burning moon had disappeared, replaced by the sun.

A red sun.

The words below have also changed.

[Day 1950. 】

【Apollo burned me. 】

【I know it's safest to leave. 】

[But I can't leave you. 】

Who are you leaving behind?

Su Heting began to believe that Jue was really looking for someone, but who was it looking for? Su Heting wanted to find out, so he jumped up the stairs in a few steps and entered the hall again.

The painting has also changed this time, into a few clumps of scribbled roses.

[Day 1900. 】

[I am wandering. 】

[Thinking about a date with you. 】

【I am very depressed. 】

Su Heting ran straight to the end and entered the next hall. He sees this entry as a refresh, a refresh of information. Jue must have stayed here for a long time. It recorded things that no one can tell in the painting. This hall is its folded diary.

The crayon drawing becomes a little stick figure looking at the moon.

[Day 1850. 】

[I'm like a ghost, floating and floating. 】

[But I dare not speak. 】

Su Heting continued walking, and the painting changed again, this time it was a bicycle.

[Day 1800. 】

[Memory is terrible. 】

【It makes me lonely. 】

Su Heting was a little tired, and continued to walk towards the next hall, thinking about words while walking. Jue said "lonely", "terrible", and "sad", these are all emotional words, which are expressed like human beings.

What kind of evolution is this? And who gave it these emotions?

Before Su Heting went to the next painting, he found that the page number was wrong this time, jumping directly from 1800 to 0001.

Crayon drawings of two animals, a rabbit and a lion.

【Day 1. 】

[I bless them. 】

【The tyrant invited me, but I can't leave, I have to come here. 】

[Because you are here. 】

who are they? Who is the tyrant?

Su Heting was confused and went to the next hall. This time it's a cat.

[Day 100. 】

[I saw Su Heting! 】

【God, he's still alive. 】

Su Heting's hair was about to stand on end, he closed his eyes and opened them again, making sure that his name was written on the painting. According to Su Heting's calculation based on the time of the first painting, Jue's diary should have been written five years ago. Five years ago was Shinsekai 2001, and he was indeed in the penalty area at that time.

Oh damn!

Su Heting ran wildly, feeling that the lost memory was calling him. He rushed into the next hall, where the painting had turned into a star of the cross.

That's right, it is the cross star worn by Xie Zhenshu.

[The 1000th day. 】

[Death, death! Endless death! 】

[Is this an experiment? 】

[They are too cruel. 】

【How should I face Su Heting? 】

What's the meaning?

Do they refer to the main **** system? On the 1000th day, something related to Xie Zhenshu happened, who died? Thank you for the pillow book? Why did Jue feel unable to face Su Heting?

Su Heting was dazed by the messed up page numbers, so he could only keep running to get as much information as possible.

[Day 150. 】

[I like conquerors. 】

[Su Heting said that this is resistance, and I think he is right. 】

【I will do my best to help them. 】

[Everyone must live. 】

【But Park Lin, where are you? 】

【I created the day and squeezed out the sun. May the sun shine on this land and make you feel warm too. 】

Su Heting pushed open the door, the hall was already very dark this time. Before he rushed to the painting, he was grabbed by someone.

The emotions in Xie Zhenshu's eyes were surging like waves, but he didn't make the next move. He stood there, as if he had been waiting for Su Heting for a long time.

Before Su Heting could react, he was stunned for half a second, then suddenly embraced Xie Zhenshu's arm with his backhand, and squeezed it a few times.

Xie Zhenshu frowned, looked at his arm, and then at the cat.

Su Heting asked: "Does it hurt?!"

Xie Zhenshu said, "It doesn't hurt."

"Understood." Su Heting immediately let go of his hand, retreated vigilantly, and spoke strictly and righteously, "You are a fake!"

Xie Zhenshu was taken aback for a moment, then frowned again, and pulled Su Heting tightly, pulling him back. He said, "Where did you go?"

Su Heting turned his head to look at the wall, the crayon drawing changed back to a burning moon, and the handwriting also returned to the beginning.

[Day 2000. 】

[I'm still looking for you. 】

[I will never give up. 】

The hour of twilight, which fell suddenly, was past, and night was approaching. Because of the complete disappearance of the day, Su Heting finally walked out of the folded space where Jue hid his thoughts, and returned to the very beginning.

Su Heting thought to himself: How the **** should I describe this?

He turned around and looked at Xie Zhenshu. After a while, he said, "...I went to see the exhibition."

Xie Zhenshu: "?"

Before Su Heting explained, there was a "click" on his wrist. He looked down, and the diamond-shaped shards handcuffed him again.

Xie Zhenshu said, "Liar."

His eyes were half downcast, as if he had been let down.
