Chapter 374 Outbreak

Qin Jue's face in his field of vision became blurry and flickered.

Qiao Yu wanted to open her mouth to make amends, but she didn't know what to say.

Under the violent tinnitus, she vaguely caught two extremely bright red spots, blood-like scarlet, coming from... Qin Jue's eyes?

As the world was spinning, Qiao Yu opened her eyes wide in astonishment. Her perception and identification of emotions were extremely sharp at this moment, and she discovered an undeniable fact -

Qin Jue was angry.

She was angry, and her anger seemed to have substance, burning in this space.

It made her sad and made her angry...

How could you do this...

This hurts the most important person to you...

The instinct that seemed to be engraved into her soul finally broke through Qiao Yu's remaining sanity under these successive transgressions. She still didn't know why this happened, but she was dizzy and almost suffocated by the physical discomfort. From the bottom of my heart, I regretted the actions I just made.

A "swish" sound.

It was Qin Jue who stood up and pressed one hand directly into the back of the sofa next to Qiao Yu's head.

Her body, which was slightly larger than the girl, descended with great pressure like a mountain. The cold and fierce intent radiating from the inside out added an element of terror under the suddenly approaching scarlet eyes. Qiao Yu's breathing was blocked. In his throat, he could not help but tremble due to the aura.

"Don't let me settle the account with you."

Qin Jue stared at Qiao Yu, word after word, squeezed out from between his teeth. It could be said that he suppressed his anger to the extreme.

Five ditches were plowed out on the back of the sofa by her fingers that were arched like animal claws. The eyes that she looked at with Qiao Yu were densely covered with bloodshot eyes, piercing into her eyes like vines. Stab into those two eyes that were completely soaked in blood red.

Being stared at by such a pair of eyes that were clearly strange and strange, but also extremely familiar, an even more harsh buzzing suddenly erupted in Qiao Yu's ears.

Her pupils dilated for a moment, and then she completely lost focus and stopped in one place, with only tears flowing down uncontrollably.

"…………"

Qiao Yu's mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out. The indescribable panic took her whole body into it, and there was only a bright red color in front of her eyes, which represented excitement and anger.

She was out of sight.

…

Qiao Yu was like a puppet that had lost its pulling strings, dull and lifeless.

Every part of her body was stiff, her fingers were curled up, and she didn't dare to relax. Except for the sofa she was sitting on, it seemed that she was surrounded by cliffs and abyss. The colors in her eyes were like a thick cloth, covering her. His eyes seemed to be pointing in the same direction up, down, left, south, east, and west, and there was no end in sight in the endless red.

so afraid.

So cold.

I'm out of breath.

There was a soft "pop" sound, which was the sound of snapping fingers.

At the same time, the bright red in Qiao Yu's eyes had a bit of brisk light green in it. She subconsciously looked at the green, and her distracted sight barely had a focus.

She moved her fingers, stretched out her hand, and groped forward cautiously. She didn't know what she touched, but she suddenly retracted her hand as if she had been burned. Her expression was startled and uncertain, her eyes were still empty, and her upper body was desperately retracted. Shivering.

"Don't panic."

The voice came with color, and before Qiao Yu had time to scream, he was carried forward by an arm and buried into the warm chest.

Plop, plop.

The frequency was stable and the slightly faster heartbeat entered her ears through bone conduction, like thunder, deafening.

The familiar, reassuring heartbeat.

It was as if I had listened to this voice quietly for countless days and nights, closing my eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

Qiao Yu's fear due to blindness gradually faded away. She slowly tried to open her hands, groping from the corners of her shirt, and hugged Qin Jue's waist little by little.

She heard a deep blue sigh.

"Don't panic." Qin Jue hugged her and gently stroked the long hair on the back of her head with one hand, "Slow down your breathing, a little slower, don't be anxious..."

Qiao Yu subconsciously listened to this gentle voice, and her rapid breathing gradually became calmer, and her heart did not vibrate as hard as before, almost jumping out of her throat.

She realized belatedly that her tears had not stopped, and the small piece of wet clothing felt cool against her face.

"Close your eyes."

Qin Jue continued speaking with a soothing tone and a gentle voice, "Concentrate...imagine there are small earplugs in both ears..."

Qiao Yu obediently obeyed and obeyed, bit by bit, she controlled the violent explosion of hearing, letting her ears only focus on the sound of the heartbeat that was very close at hand.

Qin Jue's soft words never stopped. Warm orange and light green gradually overshadowed the dazzling bright red, creating a warm and comfortable tone in front of his eyes.

This recovery process lasted half an hour. Qiao Yu's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. She moved her head back, and part of her pajama shirt appeared in her field of vision. The fabric soaked with tears and the buttons next to it were very clear.

She raised her head in confusion, and saw Qin Jue's dark brown eyes filled with concern and distress.

Qin Jue raised his index finger and waved it slowly in front of Qiao Yu's eyes.

Qiao Yu stretched out his hand, curled his fingers slightly, and held it carefully.

"……call."

Qin Jue breathed a sigh of relief. During this period, she was no less nervous than Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu's lips moved and her eye circles turned red again.

"sorry……"

She whispered, tears falling into Qin Jue's palm drop by drop, "Sister... I'm sorry..."

Qin Jue sighed and said nothing. She just hugged her little fox quietly and rubbed the top of the little guy's soft hair.

"Good eyes, if you don't use them to do something serious, you will cry."

She complained in a low voice and said softly, "Remember?"

The little fox shook his head slightly in her arms.

"I can't remember...but...I can vaguely..."

She herself didn't know how to describe it, and she choked intermittently. Qin Jue rubbed her head again and said, "It's okay."

"Stop crying, don't cry so much."

Qin Jue let go of his arms, lowered his upper body, looked at Qiao Yu's face at the same level, and gently rubbed the corners of her eyes with his knuckles.

Qiao Yu sniffed and nodded obediently.

"Sister, I..."

"Don't think too much." Qin Jue's faint smile was a little helpless, but still gentle, "What you said before is right, I should really pay attention."

Ignoring her own wishes in the name of "for someone else's benefit"... Isn't this the same virtue as Jiang Qiuyue? It's a good thing to notice it as soon as possible.

"As for what's behind -" Qin Jue wanted to sigh again, the hand holding half of Qiao Yu's face turned around and pinched her soft and tear-stained face lightly, "You really can't boil the pot. I have to drink from any pot."

There were still tears in Qiao Yu's eyes, and her smile was pitiful.

She pursed her lips, gently rubbed Qin Jue's palm with her side face, and looked at her apologetically.

"I don't remember what I did now, so you came to question me again." Qin Jue snorted, without much blame in his tone, "Well, no matter it was then or now, your ideas and choices were not wrong. , but I have a knot in my mind.”

"Okay, you've been tough, and I haven't been able to control my anger, so it's even."

She breathed a sigh of relief, "No one should blame themselves. It's rare to come back, so live happily."

"Okay." Qiao Yu responded obediently.

"Are you born with synesthesia?" Qin Jue asked again.

She originally thought that the little fox's synesthesia was the result of the deal with the garbage system at that time. Now it seems that it may have been there before, but it was later strengthened by the system.

"Yeah." Qiao Yu nodded, "But... it's not as intense as before."

She had just stopped crying, and her voice had a strong nasal sound: "Ever since I became conscious, I can see the color of the sound from time to time... When I concentrate, or when my emotions fluctuate greatly, I will be more sensitive."

Qin Jue rubbed his forehead: "That's a problem... I'll ask the deputy team to make a copy of the sound-isolating headphones for you to wear."

Synesthesia, also known as synaesthesia, refers to the phenomenon in which stimulation of one sense triggers another sense.

Most people have basic synesthesia. For example, seeing red will make you feel warm, and hearing soft music will bring beautiful scenery to your eyes.

But the little fox's ability is much stronger. Her extraordinary hearing combined with her super-sensitive synesthesia allows her to see the corresponding colors when she hears sounds, and then analyzes the emotions and other information contained in the sounds based on the colors.

When it comes to judging emotions, the little fox is more accurate than any professional instrument. Whether the emotions expressed by others are real or staged are like black dots on a white paper, clearly distinguishable and inescapable to her.

However, having abilities beyond ordinary people has its own drawbacks. Once she focuses her attention on hearing, the accompanying synesthetic colors will directly cover her field of vision. In the most extreme case, hearing and vision can only be chosen. one.

Either you can't see it or you can't hear it.

According to Cheng Zheng's analysis, this should be caused by the auditory nerve being too sensitive, which directly compresses the visual nerve. It is a symptom that only occurs in patients with high-sensitivity synesthesia.

In the apocalypse, before her eyes were blinded, the little fox could still rely on her mental power to suppress this symptom. Now, I'm afraid she won't be able to solve it for a while. She can only try to balance the stimulation received by her two senses as much as possible.

"Relax."

Qin Jue brushed Qiao Yu's hair away from her cheek, "I've reunited with you. It's time to untie the knot in my heart. I won't mind it anymore in the future."

Qiao Yu softly said "hmm", hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "I was...?"

"It's a long story."

Qin Jue leaned forward, put his chin against her forehead, smiled and sighed, "If you really want to know, ask A Ran yourself, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but beat you up if I tell you."

"Well……"

From Qin Jue's reaction, she could guess that it must be a big event, and it also dealt a heavy blow to her. Qiao Yu felt that she had been wronged, so she hugged her sister and nuzzled her, coquettishly and softly to comfort her.

"You unfortunate fox."

Qin Jue tapped her head lightly, "After a while, do you believe me now? It's too late to make up for the surreal part of the past. Don't think so much now, go back to sleep."

"okay."

Seeing with his own eyes Qin Jue's scarlet eyes that were different from ordinary people, he was also stimulated to "awaken his supernatural power". Qiao Yu no longer resisted the instinct from the depths of his soul, nor could he restrain his dependence on Qin Jue.

Although I still don’t know what happened before, but...it’s great to be reunited.

Qiao Yu remembered Qin Jue's strange expression when she asked about her family in the car not long ago. Afterwards, she understood her mood at that time, and couldn't help but hug Qin Jue for a while.

It turns out that she is her family.
