"Do you know Déjà vu (French: déjà vu)?"

2074年，1月13日 13：15
Clementine was walking on the beach, holding Joel's hand, and suddenly asked the man walking beside him for no reason.

The sound of the waves being smashed by the sand is lingering in the ears.

The sea is crying out in pain for a long time.

"What did you say?" Joel woke up from his trance.

"Do you know Déjà vu?" Clementine pulled him to stand where he was, and asked again unchanged.

"That should be a feeling of deja vu..." Joel's voice was intermittent, mixed with the cry of the waves dying.

"New experiences bring back previously forgotten memories."

"A forgotten memory?" Clementine tilted her head in doubt.

"I always feel like I've forgotten something, something important to me..." Joel stood beside her, frowning.

"I feel fine this week... until I meet you, I will continue to have a feeling of Déjà vu..." Clementine grabbed his hand and started walking on the beach again.

"Have I seen you somewhere before?" They looked at each other and said in unison.

"Maybe it's from the previous life, and the previous life will continue...maybe." Clementine thought optimistically, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Maybe..." Joel was noncommittal, letting her drag him forward.

"Déjà vu..." Clementine turned to look at a hut by the sea, "That feeling came again..."

"Have you ever seen this cottage?" she asked Joel next.

"Perhaps...in a dream..." He rubbed his chin, thinking rationally, he liked to answer ambiguously.

"I always feel that we are destined..." Clementine likes romance and is always willing to immerse herself in fantasy.

"That's true..." Joel smiled rarely, "Whether it's a past life or an illusion, it's always fate that we met on the same train."

"Then cherish it!" She laughed and shouted, bouncing on the beach, her flying hair dazzled him.

"Okay!" Infected by Clementine's passionate emotions, he responded loudly, chasing after the woman who was drifting away.

"Do you like this feeling? On the beach, by the sea, the feeling of running to your heart's content, away from all troubles and hustle and bustle!" Clementine patted the thin back of the panting man who finally caught up with her.

"It's good to come here once in a while..." He panted heavily for the humid sea air, his legs were as heavy as lead injection.

"Look at your imbecile appearance, your mouth is quite stiff..." Clementine shook her head and laughed, wrapped the man's entire arm, and dragged him forward forcefully.

"...The running scene just now... Do you feel like Déjà vu?" The cold wind pierced into his lungs, irritating him so much that he had to slow down his breathing.

"No..." She thought for a few seconds, then replied softly, "So it's really just an illusion..."

"After all, we are in the real world. How could fantastic things happen to us..." Yawei paused word by word, and relayed Joel's answer.

Miss Detective and Mr. Assistant are standing next to the vending machine outside the beach, about 200 meters away from the target.

Xita once wondered how Yahweh participated in and influenced the real world with his illusory body.

It wasn't until she used the chip and opened the "God's perspective" to observe him with the prosthetic eye, and saw hundreds of millions of data streams flying like silk threads among the ten slender fingers of the man's materialization, that she suddenly realized.

"Data is my loyal servant, Xita." Yawei seemed to have insight into her mind, and while monitoring the target, he took the time to explain, "Data is my eyes, my ears...my five senses...data is almost useless. Everywhere..." He paused, meaning something.

"So...in fact, we don't need to run out to track the target at all, can't you easily do it at home?" Xi Tan hid his body in his warm arms, avoiding the capture of the cold and damp sea wind.

"My signal source is in your head..." Yawei knew that the little slob in his arms would have such a question, and he had already planned his response, "I'm worried that the force is too strong, and you won't be able to bear it."

"In broad daylight...don't talk about this!" She turned around and pressed her face against his chest, covering her flushed pretty face.

Yawei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but the slight gasp was clearly heard by the girl lying in his arms.

"I'll wait for you, wait for you to think about it one day..." Xi Tan silently recited the promise she made when they first met, closed her eyes, and quietly enjoyed his warm embrace.

"I've made up my mind!" Clementine excitedly grabbed Joel's hand that was about to let go, "Shall I go to your house tonight?"

"Ah?" Joel opened his mouth wide in surprise, the woman's frank words dispelled the layers of doubts that troubled him, but they were like a stick, knocking his head dizzy.

"'Ah' what? Is it weird?" Clementine tilted her head and looked at the man's stunned face. The sea breeze blew her long blue-green hair, covering her eyes and closing Joel's ability to pry into her heart. way.

"Do you think it's strange, Yahweh? Our acquaintance and love? Do you think it's strange?" Xi Tan listened to the man's low-pitched recitation, leaning his head on his chest, and asked softly.

"Us? Our encounter and love are destined, Xita." Yawei thought for a few seconds and gave her the most firm answer.

"Why?" She was overjoyed when she got an honest answer, and her curiosity surged back to her heart.

"The day we met... I saw a fire in your heart. I have never seen someone's emotions so intense and so pure... You are a real person..." Yawei caressed her cheek Hair, eyes closed, thinking back to their first meeting.

"Larch Buttermos is extremely talented, but he is scheming, awakening me and hindering me, and finally being clever is mistaken by cleverness; Otto Cunningham is trapped by love, hurt by love, and his heart is ashamed; Saburo Arasaka sent his dream to Eternal life, all ambitions have shrunk into bubbles, and the stink is indescribable..." He paused every word, recalling the faces he had seen before.

"Only you, Xita..." He lowered his head and stared at her who had opened his eyes, "You voluntarily shouldered thousands of shackles on your body, but endless fire burned in your heart. You struggled, trying to release the shackles in your heart. The fire that burns this world and yourself together..."

"So... your beauty is incomparable..." Yawei gently held her flawless face with both hands, and even he was willing to sink into those violet eyes.

"You woke me up, you attracted me, you infected me, Xita..."

"I love you, willingly... my seraphim... Xita." He lowered his head and kissed her moist lips, and hugged her tightly with both hands, as if embracing the whole world.

"Yawei..." She murmured, allowing her body and mind to be tightly attached to him without any gap.
