"Sea areas" vary from person to person, and the "sea areas" presented by different spiritual worlds are also completely different.

Some are rich, some are barren; Qin Ge has seen mountains, oceans, quiet towns at the foot of snow-capped mountains, and a red balloon slowly floating by in densely packed urban buildings.

But he never thought that he would step into ruins in Xie Zijing's "water area".

The sight of the eyes is full of the remains after the burning fire. Blood-red vines are climbing on the dark and dark walls. On the hazy cemetery, the smelly rain water drops down, passing through Qin Ge's body, and splashing shallow ripples in the pool on the ground. The ripples are like ribs, illuminated by the cold moonlight, spreading from under Qin Ge's feet to the distance.

This is a piece of ruins that cannot be seen at a glance, and a cold silver light leaps hazy in a very distant place. The ruins are soaked in the shallow water, and Qin Ge takes a step forward. There seem to be countless small palms in the water that stick to his shoes tightly, making it difficult to move.

Just like there was an extremely huge city here, it should have been very lively. But now all over this "sea area" is silent death.

Qin Ge couldn't walk anymore. He was blocked by a burned carbonized beam. He wanted to climb under the beam, but the water was full of sharp stones.

In the ruins, a small house suddenly stood, square and flat. The four walls of the house were painted white, pale without any impurities. Xie Zijing stood in front of the house, and he seemed to be covered with a layer of white light, which made his expression blurred.

"You can't walk there." Seeing Qin Ge climbing onto the collapsed wall and crawling towards the silver light in the distance, Xie Zijing shouted, "It's useless! Even I can't walk."

Qin Ge didn't believe it. He gritted his teeth and crawled slowly towards the light. The real body was not moving in the ruins. He was glad for this: there were too many traps in the ruins that could not be touched, but each place could not hurt him. He held his breath and kept crawling forward until he faintly realized that the time to patrol the "sea area" was about to reach its limit, and he was willing to stop.

The silver light was still floating in the distance, and the distance had never changed. Qin Ge looked back and saw that Xie Zijing and the small white house were already far behind him. It was like a white cube among the black and uneven wreckage. Someone placed a white cube and a small man was placed in the cube.

Just as I think of Xie Zijing walking through such ruins every day, the breathless pain instantly clenched Qin Ge's heart.

He climbed back, Xie Zijing walked out a few steps towards him, shouting: "I have warned you!"

Qin Ge's head buzzed. He knew that he was about to leave this "sea area". He was not sure whether he would have the courage to come in next time.

"Have you been here all the time?" Qin Ge shouted, "Xie Zijing! Answer me!"

The cold wind swelled the boy's sportswear, and the cold rain passed through his body and hit the ground. Qin Ge heard Xie Zijing raise a childish voice and answer himself: "Yes, I've been exploring for a long time! Believe me, there is no road here."

Qin Ge's feet were empty and he suddenly fell.

The strong sense of weightlessness and dizziness made his stomach twitch continuously, and there was something that pushed from his abdomen to his throat.

"Qin Ge?"

He heard Xie Zijing call his name. This was the voice he was used to to hear, a little hoarse, and it was the voice that was eroded by nicotine and tobacco.

Qin Ge pushed him away and flushed towards the toilet. He lay on the edge of the toilet and vomited everything in his stomach. Tears kept flowing down. Qin Ge couldn't tell the difference because everything he saw in the "sea area" was caused by vomiting. He reached out to get a tissue, his fingers were weak and weak, and even the gripping action could make his muscles tremble. Cold sweat soaked his clothes, Qin Ge was dizzy and his ears were buzzing.

But what scared him the most was that he could not find any thoughts in his head that cheered him up.

Lifeless depression occupied his head. He knelt on the ground in the bathroom, and began to put his head into the toilet, and then pressed the flush button.

It's too difficult to do it. It's ruins.

It was a ruin that had been completely destroyed. He could not repair it. His ability was not enough to rebuild it. He even began to regret why he had entered Xie Zijing's "water area". Lu Qing was right. It was something deliberately hidden. No one could touch it and no one could do anything.

Hearing the sound coming from behind, Qin Ge turned his head. Xie Zijing stood at the bathroom door and looked at him, but did not come over.

Qin Ge's eyes were blurred. He wiped his eyes with a tissue and sniffed. For the first time, he saw a timid expression on Xie Zijing's face, as if he wanted to ask but didn't dare to speak.

Qin Ge raised his hand and slapped himself, and the pain made him awake for a moment. If he had seen himself like this, Xie Zijing would have rushed in to support him. But this time, Qin Ge was angry and sad. He pulled a tissue to wipe his face and nose, and after finishing everything, he turned his head and hit Xie Zijing's arms.

Xie Zijing subconsciously held him.

"Cold..." Qin Ge wiped his tears with his clothes and put them in his arms and said vaguely, "I'm almost dying."

He stretched out his hand that was shaking slightly, and a chaotic mist rolled in his palm, and it dissipated after a moment. Qin Ge was still unwilling to give up and stared at his palm. This time, the mist did not even appear. Only a weak breath climbed up from his arm, turned around in his hand, and disappeared immediately.

"Useless rabbit..." Qin Ge said, "it can't come out."

Xie Zijing's arm tightened. After hesitating for a while, he finally hugged Qin Ge tightly in his arms like before.

"No need to force it." He pressed against Qin Ge's ear, "I understand."

Qin Ge heard his low sigh, as if he was relieved and relieved.

Your "sea area" is not disgusting at all, and there is nothing abnormal. I don't hate it. Qin Ge planned to tell him carefully so that he could feel completely relieved, but Xie Zijing hugged him too tightly, and he felt it was difficult for him to speak, so he simply buried his head in his arms and sighed like him.

"There is no road here" - 18-year-old Xie Zijing said so. But Qin Ge didn't believe it. If there was no road at all, he would be willing to open up a new path for Xie Zijing that could help him escape from the ruins. The regret and frustration that had just passed slowly disappeared, like the sea water of the ebbing tide, returning to the deep ocean. Qin Ge listened to Xie Zijing's heartbeat, and a new idea arose in a stronger dizziness than another.

He didn't know where the limit of his ability was. But from now on, he planned to explore for Xie Zijing.

If the city in the "water area" is destroyed, he will rebuild one for Xie Zijing.

He washed Qin Ge's face and wiped his hands while sitting by the bathtub. Xie Zijing looked at the bathroom, and then looked at Qin Ge: "Do you want me to help take a shower?"

Qin Ge: "No, get out of here."

Xie Zijing left the bathroom, quickly opened the door again, and leaned in half: "I'll let the lion accompany you."

Qin Ge took off his clothes just to his neck, and his vision was blocked, so he had to nod.

After taking a hot bath, he felt a little more comfortable, at least the temperature of his hands and feet had recovered. It was definitely impossible to fall asleep tonight. He regretted that he didn't ask Xie Zijing to ask Yan Hong for more sleeping pills. Qin Ge, who walked out of the bathroom with the lion, was startled: Xie Zijing was sitting on the floor at the bathroom door, waiting for him.

"I want lemonade," said Qin Ge. "Add more lemons, it's sour."

Xie Zijing immediately got up and rushed into the kitchen.

The lemon water cleaned the throat and stomach, and Qin Ge felt much more comfortable. He and Xie Zijing sat on the balcony. Xie Zijing moved around and couldn't find a comfortable position, so Qin Ge simply leaned on him. Xie Zijing stopped moving and asked for a while, "Don't you rest?"

"I can't sleep." Qin Ge replied, "It's easy to have nightmares when lying down."

After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong and quickly explained: "It's not because of your 'sea area' that I have nightmares. I will patrol abnormal 'sea areas'..."

"I know." Xie Zijing put one hand loose on his waist, rubbed his face against his wet hair, and fell a kiss that seemed to be there.

Qin Ge felt that every word he said struck Xie Zijing's Lei: "I'm not saying that your 'sea area' is not normal."

"It's indeed abnormal." Xie Zijing quickly answered, "Don't care, I'm not afraid of it anymore."

Qin Ge felt that Xie Zijing was more like his own rabbit at this time. He wanted to hold himself, press against him, rub against him, and draw a sense of security from the touch of his skin.

The two of them didn't say anything for a moment. The cool breeze outside the balcony blew a tall poplar tree, and the leaves rustled. Qin Ge covered his hand on the back of Xie Zijing's hand, making his palm press close to his abdomen. Qin Ge suddenly understood Xie Zijing's fear at this moment of speechlessness.

Xie Zijing seemed to be a person who had no past. He woke up from his confusion and found that all his past memories were like fragments, and he couldn't even explain who he was. Then Lu Qing began to add various hints. These negative hints made Xie Zijing deviate from his judgment. He was afraid of other people's explorations and even agreed that his "sea area" should not be shown in front of others.

Until now, he has been recognized by Qin Ge.

"When you woke up in the hospital, did no one explore your 'sea area'?" Qin Ge suddenly remembered something.

"Yes." Xie Zijing said, "Lu Qing comes."

Qin Ge sat up straight: "How could he be there?"

"At that time, the Western Office invited New Hope graduates to do research, and Lu Qinglai happened to be one of the team leaders." Xie Zijing told Qin Ge, "I woke up and found that my parents were missing, and they realized that something was wrong. Lu Qinglai was a mental adjuster, so he asked him to come over to patrol my 'sea area'."

Xie Zijing licked his mouth and said with difficulty: "I lied to you. Although I don't remember what my 'sea area' was like before, Lu Qing came to tell me that my sea area had been destroyed, which may be the reason why my memory was confused."

Lu Qinglai's relationship with Xie Zijing finally showed the thread.

Qin Ge suspected that Lu Qinglai discovered that during that cruise, Xie Zijing's sea area was a good research material. He was dedicated to studying the relationship between personality and "sea area", and there was a sentry in front of him whose "sea area" was destroyed, so Xie Zijing became the best research object: Lu Qinglai could add hints through continuous patrols, and gradually shape Xie Zijing's fragmented personality into the kind he wanted.

"...That night, something unusual happened near Jiwu Temple and Luquan." Qin Ge told Xie Zijing, "It is difficult to destroy the 'water area' in a short time."

"Yes." Xie Zijing carried him into his arms again and whispered in a low voice, "I'll hand over my 'sea area' to you."

He told Qin Ge that after Lu Qinglai patrolled his "water area", he claimed that his memory had faded due to the huge blow, and that he could not remember what happened that day. When the New Hope team left the Western Office, they also took Xie Zijing back. When they learned that Xie Zijing had received the New Hope admission letter, Lu Qinglai seemed very eager and even offered to take care of Xie Zijing's daily life.

Xie Zijing's father is a guide and his mother is an ordinary person. The two settled down here because they worked here and had no other relatives here. Xie Zijing relied on Lu Qinglai very much. Lu Qinglai came forward to help him handle everything as his teacher. His parents' disappearance case was taken over by the Western Office, but there are no clues until now.

Qin Ge couldn't bear to remind Xie Zijing that Lu Qinglai was most likely to have already made hints during the first cruise. He made Xie Zijing feel unconditional trust in him. Qin Ge believed that Lu Qinglai was controlling Xie Zijing, but this could not explain why Lu Qinglai suggested that Xie Zijing work in the Western Office after graduation.

"There are too many mysteries in him." Qin Ge sighed like a moaning, "I want to go to Gao Tianyue again to talk about Lu Qinglai and the four people in our department."

"Actually, I gradually felt something was wrong." Xie Zijing looked at the night and lights outside and slowly said a lot.

After entering university, Lu Qinglai had more contact with him. Xie Zijing's roommates knew that his family was not there, but this teacher Lu was equivalent to half of his father and treated Xie Zijing very carefully. Lu Qinglai told Xie Zijing that because there were problems with his "sea area", he had to conduct a weekly cruise.

"He will explore the complete 'sea area', the one you just saw..." Xie Zijing took a deep breath, "There is my self-awareness in the 'sea area', and Lu Qinglai will say a lot to that consciousness."

Qin Ge: "...For example, your 'water area' is disgusting? No one can accept your 'water area'?"

"More direct." Xie Zijing looked at Qin Ge's eyes and it was a difficult thing for him to tell him about his consciousness. "He will tell me that I am disgusting and I am abnormal. No one is like me. I can still live normally and must be grateful to him. He is my benefactor and I want to trust him."

Qin Ge was very sad. He didn't know that it was because of his fragile spirit that made him easily infected. When he heard Xie Zijing's words, his nose was sore and a wet mist surged in his eyes. He leaned over Xie Zijing and hugged him. Qin Ge whispered: "What he said is wrong."

The mental adjuster can go deep into the sea to get in touch with self-awareness, make requests, ask questions, but he must not use emotional words to affect the self-awareness of sentries and guides. Lu Qinglai had already crossed the line, but Xie Zijing could not resist this influence at the time.

Qin Ge took Xie Zijing's hand and pressed it on his chest. His heartbeat passed through his ribs, muscles and skin and reached Xie Zijing's palm.

"I will also doubt it, but every time I doubt it, he will find it in the next cruise, followed by the next round of persuasion. I always think he is right. My 'sea area' is different from ordinary people, and I am different from others. This idea cannot make me proud, become an alien... It's really terrible. New Hope is full of sentries and guides, and vampires or fountains like Francesco, and occasionally a few are foreign students. I dare not interact with sentries and guides, because I am afraid that they will find my abnormality. So in school, my best friend is Francesco. I only have him."

His voice gradually became low and finally was swallowed by Qin Ge's kiss. They sat on the balcony, leaning against a big lion, kissing constantly and gently. What they exchanged was not love and desire, but all the secret words that were reluctant to tell in words.

．

Even on weekends, the Criminal Investigation Department was still very lively. Lei Chi's entire team gave up tea and used coffee to prosper. The coffee smell was strong and it competed with the tea aroma, forming an extremely strange smell.

When Qin Ge came to find him, he was looking through the information about Cai Mingyue's infant murder case.

The child who did not die at Cai Mingyue's hands in the end was because he could not find any information, so they decided to call him X. Zhou Xuefeng and his wife died one after another, and X lost his trace. Most of the elderly in the village passed away or settled with their children. Some people still remember some things about X, but they couldn't remember his name anyway.

Zhou Xuefeng wouldn't call him his name, and he would be "freaks" when he kept silent.

Hubei has never found any relevant information about X. He is a guide. As long as he does not show his abilities, he can apply for a fake ID and a certificate to disguise himself as an ordinary person. Lei Chi thought about it and felt that it would be difficult for X to find a normal and stable job after he became an adult. He always needs a physical examination and always goes to the hospital. As long as he has a blood test, he can immediately know his identity as a guide; and a guide who has not been entered by the special human population data management system will be noticed by the local crisis office branch in just half an hour.

Maybe he was dead. Lei Chi thought to himself that a child, without any support or ability, left his hometown alone and walked from the mountains to the city. There are too many bad facts that may happen along the way.

Although the section chief and other teams that jointly investigated believed that they should no longer be entangled in X's information, Lei Chi was always unable to feel at ease. He relied on his intuition, and the werewolf's keen intuition was constantly reminding him: Don't let go of this suspicion.

"How long have you been working overtime?" Qin Ge asked while sitting in front of him.
