Collapse: Chasing Fire Studio

"Brother Captain?" She seemed to be aware of my strangeness, she raised her head slightly, exhaled blue-like heat from her naked red lips, and just spit it on my sensitive neck.

There was a little cold sweat on my forehead, and I was really flustered in my heart. I was never so scared when I was hung up and beaten by my grandma.

"Did you have a nightmare?" The little guy muttered to himself, stretched out a soft catkin and touched my cheek.

"It's all right (＞﹏＜), with Gracie here, you don't have to be afraid, captain brother, Gracie is by the captain's brother, even if it's a fairy, you'll eat Gracie first (ノ)? Д ?(ヽ)”

. . . . . .

I was stunned, and immediately understood Gracie's purpose for coming to the guest room...

Naturally Ellie wouldn't believe the nonsense that I'm afraid of the dark, but Gracie is different...

Perhaps, the image of the captain's brother is far more important in her heart than I thought...

She is like a piece of white paper, easily stained with other people's colors...

She is also like a star, lighting up the originally dark night...

He doesn't like words, and all his thoughts are under the brush; he doesn't hear about world affairs, and his heart's direction is all in the colors.

One after another, the world of Gracie and her is woven.The colors of the past are spread in the dream painting, until the end of the silver sea. ………………

I do have a fear of the dark.

It was a bone-deep fear that could not be eliminated, only overcome.

In my time, just after the college entrance examination, I was locked in a dark closed room and went through a month-long survival training.

30 days, 720 hours, 43200 minutes, 2 seconds.

It was like a silent prison, where all light and sound were isolated from the outside world.Daily food and water are transported through pipes, and excrement is also disposed of through pipes.

Although it was only 30 days, it felt like more than a year had passed in my consciousness. ...

From curiosity to fear,

The darkness is like a silent wall, blunting people's nerve perception while pushing people into the abyss of loneliness.

I thought that I only needed to rely on sleep for 30 days like a hibernating bear... But when my consciousness gradually became chaotic, I could no longer distinguish the boundary between dream and reality.

I dreamed that my body was covered with bloody beetles, my limbs were swallowed by foul-smelling sewage, and my torso was chewed by ugly ghouls...

The suffocation of death choked my throat and pushed me into the deep abyss... Then the timid man woke up, but there was still only darkness by his side.

From fear to numbness,………………

In the long darkness, I was surprised to find that I had mastered an ability at some point.

My spirit seems to have become an existence beyond the body.

I can feel my body trembling, I can feel the hippocampus in my brain constantly transmitting the memory of fear to the amygdala, I can feel the rapid beating of my heart, I can feel the contraction and eruption of blood vessels, I can feel The trembling and quivering of the bones...

But my spirit is not affected by it at all, maintaining a transparent and keen state. ……………

After that, I tried to use the spirit to influence the body, and finally completely suppressed the emotion called "fear"...

I realized that I seemed to have turned into a monster.

Monkeys evolved into humans, and humans then fed on monkeys.But when humans evolve into another brand new species...

Humans will understand what "humans" look like in the eyes of "monkeys".

That is the abyss of cannibalism. …………

The educational philosophy of Jianjia is that if you want to shape a person, you must first destroy him. …………

That experience really transformed me.

The dark frightens me, so I am the dark. …………

So much so that when the so-called invincible father stood in front of me again... I felt a little doubt from the bottom of my heart.

He is no longer as tall as he used to be, and he is no longer as burly as he used to be.

I stared at him, and immediately understood what Abyss was thinking when he stared at humans.

"That's just a bigger monkey"......

But when I was thinking about my thoughts clearly, my body felt a familiar trembling feeling...

Due to biological defects, it has not "evolved", and can only be used as a "backward" body to carry a "upgraded" soul. ………

This sense of fragmentation made me realize that my "evolution" was actually deformed.

The reason my flesh is afraid, the reason it is terrified... is that it is staring into the abyss, and is being stared at by the abyss all the time.

A flimsy paper cup might hold scalding boiling water, but if injected with hot magma, it would surely be reduced to ashes. ………

A year later, I learned all the kung fu skills of my grandma, and then I defeated my father and left the Kanjia. ………

I want to find a place to be quiet, I don't want to be the "abyss" of the ship...

I just want to live back to being a "human".

Or...to find a path of evolution different from that of the warship.

...............

Under the warm quilt, I stretched out a big hand, gently wrapped around the slender waist of the girl in my arms, and then kissed her smooth forehead intimately.

"Thank you Gracie (.??.)ノ?, but don't worry, the captain brother will definitely protect Gracie. Even if there are fairies and ghosts coming, the captain brother will definitely drive them away!"

"Oh? Isn't the captain brother afraid?" Gracie was a little curious. She stretched out a small white hand and touched my cheek, but found it cool and wet...

"Brother Captain! You, why are you crying!? Is someone bullying you? (=?Д?=) Don't cry, don't cry, Gracie wipes your tears for you!"

"No, it's okay, Brother Captain... No, I won't cry... Why, why are you crying..."

I suddenly choked up, this is a strange feeling, the spirit does not have the previous sense of distortion, but trembles with the heart.

I am afraid……

I've always been afraid...

I'm afraid of the dark, and I'm afraid of myself...

I am afraid that I will become that kind of indifferent machine, and become a demon that eats people without blinking...

That's not evolution at all...

It was a cancer.

It would be great if I could meet you all sooner...

I can't help thinking this way, Eden, Kevin, Patuo, Master Qian, Mo, Gracie, Sakura...and Alicia...

It is because I gaze into the abyss that I become like the abyss...

But if... if it's you guys looking at...

I might...be a spark that illuminates the darkness.

Chapter 29 The Important Thing Says Three Times

Didi Didi~~

beep beep-

beep beep-

The bright sunshine sprinkled on the girl's slim body, warm and comfortable~~

The long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and Alicia dazedly stretched out an arm from the warm bed, picked up the charging phone beside the bed, and pressed the slide button to turn off the alarm clock.

"Hmm(?o????), Captain, it's time to wake up~~"

Alicia subconsciously turned over, wanting her boyfriend to give her a hug...

Right now I'm empty...

Oh... I remembered, the captain was driven to the guest room by himself.

Alicia yawned lazily, pulled up the quilt again, and slept for another 5 minutes (*?﹃“*)…………………………

I seem to have forgotten something (?﹃?), forget it (?3[▓▓], I can’t remember…………………………………………

! ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

What about Gracie? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

The girl flipped over with a squat, hurriedly put on her slippers, and without changing her clothes, she came out of the bedroom in her pajamas and walked towards the guest room.

"Captain!! Gracie..."

crunch————

Alicia froze in place, her mouth gradually opened into an "o" shape...

A 14-year-old girl was sleeping soundly on her boyfriend's body... It was Gracie she was looking for.

"Shh~~" I heard hurried footsteps, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Alicia flustered, and quickly made a silent gesture.

"Hmm(?o???), Brother Captain... are you going to wake up?"

Gracie was still woken up, her head drooping, her sleepy eyes looked like a drunk kitten.

"It's okay, Gracie can still sleep for a while, the captain brother will make breakfast first." I pampered Gracie's head, then gently picked her up, and gently placed her on the empty seat next to her.

After getting up and putting on some clothes, I helped Gracie cover the quilt, exchanged glances with the strange-looking Alicia, and left the guest room.

"What do you want for breakfast?" I hugged the big baby's fragrant body as usual.

"...You can do it as you see. There is still some cold rice in the rice cooker, and there are still some dishes packed yesterday in the refrigerator. How about some fried rice?" Alicia swallowed blankly.

"Okay, I'll wash up first." I nodded and went straight to the bathroom...

"Wait, wait! Captain! Why is Gracie on your bed????" Alicia hurriedly stopped me.

"Um, am I afraid of the dark? The little guy was worried about me, so he came to sleep with me."

The big baby was about to say something when he suddenly noticed my slightly swollen eye sockets...

"Boss, Captain!? Why are your eyes so red??(ノ)???(ヽ)"

"Well...it's okay. Small problem."
