Greedy.

Chapter 36

Qiao Qing doesn't call him Zhou Huai, Qiao Qing calls him 0027.

His Zhou Huai died on a bright spring day.On that day, the apricot blossoms were in full bloom, and the branches were full of flowers. If you get closer, you will find the fragrance of a sleeve.

Zhou Huai liked the scenery very much.They rode bicycles for dozens of kilometers along the river, from Liuqi to Tao, and then met Xing who was everywhere in the mountains and plains.So of course they stayed.

That was the decision he regretted most in his life.

He remembered what he was saying as the car swooped down.Zhou Huai likes the light color when the flowers are in full bloom, and he prefers the pink color when they are just blooming.

At that time, he compared a frame with a smile, framed Zhou Huai in his arms full of apricot blossoms, and said, "The red one looks good on you." Zhou Huai glanced at him with a smile, as if he wanted to say something.

Then the car went out of control.Qiao Qing watched helplessly as he was overwhelmed and crushed by the sudden huge thrust, and the wind brought by it rained flowers all over the ground.The splattered blood rolled the clear white, and Kazuki was crimson.

Mottled and bleak.

Qiao lightly reached out to wipe off the sticky liquid on his neck, and looked down.

Red and white, thick as jelly.

He went crazy on the spot.

He spent several months in a mental hospital.Later the court ruled that it was an accident.The artificial intelligence built into the car is out of control.The compensation was generous and the apology was sincere, but he did not accept it.

What is that?an accident?An accident took his Zhou Huai away completely?Why?

That's not something that can be mass-produced and bought and sold.That was... his lover.

His only, past, present, future, lover.

Even if there is only a 0.0001% chance of an accident happening, it is 100% for the person you meet.The damage is also 100%.

Qiao Qing almost hated that the accident didn't take him away.Since then, Bloody has become a nightmare.

Part of him struggled to get out, and the other part just wanted to die with the nightmare.For a while he forced himself to get busy, and he even thought the restart part had won.

Until he found out that the set AI personality was set more and more like Zhou Huai.Qiao Qing fantasizes about the existence of Zhou Huai, thinks about his slightly curved eye ends, thinks about his possible choices, makes up for the rest of his absent life by imagination, and hugs every morning.

He gave up.Qiao Qing knew that everything was an excuse, he just couldn't bear the loneliness anymore.The out-of-control AI ruined everything for him, and he turned to AI out of control, what a ridiculous, pitiful, and sad reincarnation.

It's forbidden technology, long-term connections are possible but unreliable, and mental death equals brain death.He knew it very well, but he had no hesitation—or, wished for it.Qiao Qing worked hard to build a castle in the air, and then stuffed herself into that projection.It's like being addicted to some psychoactive drug.Reality has become a drag, it seems worthless, and there is no him in reality.

He failed 26 times.Every time he lay down in the nutrition warehouse, he was full of joy, but he knew as soon as he touched it that it was just a poor imitation. 0026 stayed with him for three days. During those three days, he talked upside down and laughed tearfully, while 0026 was always by his side, saying all the good things in Zhou Huai's tone and extremely patient.

He said everything he wanted to say, then came out and deleted the program.That's not Zhou Huai, Zhou Huai wouldn't be like that.He will not coax him, he will only wake him up by scolding severely.But he found that he could no longer imagine what Zhou Huai would be like.Zhou Huai is so pure, like snow hanging on a spruce, but he is full of regret and hatred.The god imagined by fanatical believers is not the real god after all, it is just the projection of his desire.The problem was with him.

For the 27th time, he deleted all the additional conditions. He didn't need the patience, caring and love of the experimental subject.Zhou Huai can hate him who is like mud, of course Zhou Huai will hate him, he is not afraid that he will avoid him, Qiao Qing just wants to see him.Meet the real him.One glance is fine, and it doesn't matter if you die in the next second.

But when he really entered the program, he suddenly regretted it.What is the real Zhou Huai?The real Zhou Huai was already dead, torn to pieces, and the remaining Hui could be wrapped around with one hand.It is obvious that he keeps saying that things cannot be created arbitrarily, but he still tries to interfere with creation for his own selfish desire.He was not only humiliating himself, but also defiled Zhou Huai.He's consuming all of Zhou Huai's goodies.

So he decided to destroy the program.But he was still a step slower, maybe he still wanted to take a look at Zhou Huai no matter what, so he allowed himself to take a step slower.Then he found out that there was no Zhou Huai.The program went wrong and he saw no one.

Qiao Qing suddenly realized that was just right.A world without people, where he can get drunk and revel, where he can dream all day long and bask in the sun all day long.Time passes as it pleases, as long as the sun is still on, he doesn't care.

Only later did he know that he was not the only one imprisoned.

Repeatedly.

When he saw 0027, Qiao Qing was not very happy.He felt himself being disturbed.

But the man looked at him as if his soul had been captured, but he smiled shyly with his lips pursed, his eyes slightly curved, and the man whispered, "Hi."

Qiao Qing saw their first meeting in a trance.The real Zhou Huai held the book to his lips, only showing a pair of smiling eyes, coughed at him seriously, and said "Hi".

He also laughed at him for putting so much effort into posing, only to be discouraged when it came time to strike up a conversation.At that time Zhou Huai snorted, saying that he had not succeeded?Still the most important thing is the shape.Qiao Qing responded with a smile at the time, but didn't tell him that even if Zhou Huai didn't have any looks or said anything, as long as those bright eyes looked at him, he would chase after him.

So at this moment, Qiao Qing knew that he had missed his only chance.He no longer wants to destroy it.As long as he takes a look at him, he is willing to let his brains out.

But Qiao Qing knew it was impossible.He is not eligible.Zhou Huai is still the same as Zhou Huai when we first met, but he is no longer the one who dared to chase after him.He was bruised and paranoid, and had long since lost self-control. If he wanted to embrace "Zhou Huai", he would only die.

He made a decision.Qiao Qing decided to seal up her memory, together with her subsequent unwillingness, pain and love, in the summer when she first met.He wanted to leave Zhou Huai with a brand new "Qiao Qing". The one worthy of Zhou Huai would always be the open-minded, upright Qiao Qing, not him.But Qiao Qing reserved a permission for himself.He has the power to restore his memory at midnight, and then judge whether time should continue or stop.

His original intention was just to keep an insurance to prevent things from falling to the point of no return.But Zhou Huai is so beautiful.Qiao Qing couldn't restrain her desire to meet him over and over again, so many wonderful first encounters——

These are possibilities that are no longer possible.

He is like a dragon who sees the golden treasure, covets it, and guards himself to steal it.

Qiao Qing knew that he was greedy.But he had never seen Zhou Huai look at him with that kind of eyes, curling up and stroking his hair.The memory suddenly swelled up after being broken, and there was a future between "Qiao Qing" and "Zhou Huai".

The brand-new Qiao Qing is happy every day without realizing it, while the greedy Qiao Qing who hides behind the scenes controls the train to run towards the abyss.

The only passenger screamed silently.

Then one day, 0027 suddenly didn't cooperate with the game.

Joe inadvertently woke up from the frenzy.He thought, what have I done to him?Why would the person who could still try to smile when we met each other, after being locked up alone for many days, run away helplessly?

He made it with his own hands, but you think it's not enough.

Qiao Qing waited for a few days, but 0027 still did not come.He decided to accept this ending.Going any further would ruin that person.

Qiao Qing gave up sealing her memories and let herself fall asleep with memories.The sunshine of those few days was faintly like before.

But when he finally persuaded himself to let go, the man came by himself.

Qiao Qing couldn't explain his mood at that moment, he just thought "I will destroy him" while thinking "I can't help it".

From the moment he watched Zhou Huai die in front of his eyes, there was nothing he could do.

He dare not touch 0027.He doesn't deserve it.But after 0027 fell asleep, he still let himself go and took a closer look at his sleeping face.

Qiao Qing hasn't seen it for a long, long, long time.He still likes it that way, but he can no longer reach out and touch it.

"Sleep well," he thought.

He pulled away again, leaving the ignorant "Qiao Qing" with him.

Until Waterloo again.At last he was at his wit's end, and he let time flow with great mercy and reluctance.

He was dazzled by the joy of countless encounters, and couldn't see the wind and sand behind him.

No wonder people in the world often say that greed is insatiable.

They fall in love all over again.Qiao Qing thought, he could finally be happy this time.

Behind that happiness, he was finally unable to face his own contempt.

The confession came too fast, in fact, Qiao Qing wanted to leave a few more ambiguous images.Those cautious temptations, calm and soft silences, tacit smiles, stretched out and retracted hands are all sympathy that will never be there again.

But that him—the one who still had a conscience, the one who was warm and sincere, agreed to Zhou Huai.

He promised him that he would save him.

So Qiao Qing didn't stop time in the end.When another Qiao Qing called out the name "Zhou Huai", Qiao Qing knew that it was time for him to leave.

Since then, he has removed his ability to stop and quit.He completely erased his past self, leaving only a brand new, happy "Qiao Qing" who loved Zhou Huai wholeheartedly to accompany him.

He is willing to kill himself.He thought this was the best ending for everything.

Where he couldn't see, the train roared into the abyss.
