In the Jiu'an underground laboratory, a group of people stood in the dimly lit laboratory, all in a dull state looking at the old black and white photo projected on the white wall——

Perhaps due to the limitation of photography technology from a hundred years ago, this black and white photo still looks a bit blurry even if it is restored to the extreme with the technology mastered by Luo Yunfan.

But this blur has no impact on their ability to clearly recognize the people in the picture.

There are two men and one woman in the photo. They are smiling at today's people despite more than a hundred years of time and countless spaces. The smiles should have been gentle and approachable, but in this situation, they always seem to feel...

Somewhat mocking. From left to right, their names are Qi Rui, Ye Ruoxue, and Dengying Lushan.

If the appearance of Qi Rui and Dengying Lu Shan was reasonable, then Ye Ruoxue's face was completely unexpected.

Ye Ruoxue, the Ye Ruoxue that everyone is familiar with, the young lady who always looks cold on the outside, but is actually very gentle at heart. Now, this Ye Ruoxue that they are familiar with yet unfamiliar to them is showing her heart with a cheerful smile that they have never seen before.

The traces left by old photos from over a hundred years ago smiled at them.

Familiar yet unfamiliar, that was Ye Ruoxue's face, but it was not like the Ye Ruoxue they knew. Compared with today's Ye Ruoxue, that pretty face lacked the vicissitudes brought by the years, but the youthfulness and youthfulness in that smile

Vitality was a feature they had never seen on that face.

It was as if there was a completely different soul living in Ye Ruoxue's body back then.

"Ye Ruoxue" in the black and white photo maintains a smile that has not changed for a hundred years, as if she is mocking.

Yes, there is indeed a hint of ridicule, mocking the powerlessness of weak humans in the face of fate and time.

For a moment, Luo Yunfan felt as if he was falling into an endless abyss. It was as if he had been living in a huge situation all his life. The invisible and undefeable hand of the man who laid out the plan a hundred years ago had already destroyed this hundred years.

The fateful cycle of the past years has been written down.

Chaos... so much chaos...

The messy and sensational clues are mixed into skeins one after another, being teased and played with by the naughty cat of destiny, and no one can restore any organized truth from them.

A hundred years ago, these three boys and girls launched a mortal study of the extraordinary with full enthusiasm. They were the first people to "steal fire from heaven". This was an unprecedented study, and their courage is worthy of praise, but their

The purpose remains a mystery, and why their research failed remains unknown.

The only thing that can be known is that what they did back then was so huge that it was unimaginable, and their shadow has been dragged to this day.

What happened a hundred years ago has long been unknown. Luo Yunfan only knows that in the past hundred years, the Dengying family has used certain unknown technologies to create the extraordinary system of passers from scratch.

The strength is extremely expanded; Ye Ruoxue becomes dead and is lost on the other side until she is awakened by the mysterious Yiyi, who has a great connection with the Dengying family; Qi Rui cuts off his own memory for some reason, loses a battle with Dengying Lushan, and is

He was locked in a "prison" for a hundred years until he was brought out by Xiao Yao and Dong Bin.

Ye Ruoxue was actually one of the first researchers a hundred years ago. Does Ye Ruoxue still retain some of the secrets from those years? Dengying Lushan did not plagiarize the experimental results here, he is simply one of the researchers! Qi Rui

What happened back then, broke up with Dengying Lushan, and even took the initiative to cut off his own memory?

"What happened in the past hundred years? What happened to Sister Xue..." Luo Mengyun murmured to himself, looking at Luo Yunfan in confusion.

When things have reached this point, I can tell with my fingers that there are definitely unknown secrets in Ye Ruoxue's past, and even Ye Ruoxue's own position may be...

There is a problem... But Luo Mengyun still doesn't want to doubt Ye Ruoxue. The bond between friends doesn't allow her to think so.

Luo Yunfan shook his head: "Don't look at me like this. This time, I can't know anything. The information is too confusing, and there are even many contradictions."

"Boss, things seem to be a bit troublesome now..." James smiled bitterly, "I think we shouldn't act rashly first. It's best to restore other photos together. Maybe we can see something else.

Useful information.”

"You're right... Then let's restore this one." Luo Yunfan picked up the pile of old black and white photos and rummaged through them carefully.

Soon, Luo Yunfan found his target. He slowly pulled out the yellowed and brittle photo and placed it on the table.

The photo wasn't particularly blurry, it looked like there was a spinning vortex in it, but if you look more closely, you'd feel... it was an eyeball, a huge eyeball.

Luo Yunfan said in a deep voice: "My consciousness tells me...this photo seems to be the most important one at the moment..."

This photo was found in a document bag that had been gnawed by insects. The documents in the document bag were incomplete. However, among the incomplete documents at that time, Luo Yunfan remembered a sentence that still impressed him to this day -

—

She will not hurt you, she will only devour you little by little... Be careful of the realities that originally belonged to you...

…

Today...is the sixth day...

But, today is the sixth day of what?

I don't remember. Every time I try to concentrate on recalling these things, I always encounter all kinds of sudden trivial matters, and I can't concentrate on thinking at all. However, the young man can still know that this count must be a very big one.

Important information, I seem to have forgotten something very important without even realizing it.

After spending a day shopping with his childhood sweetheart, the boy returned to the villa where he lived.

According to the neighbors, my family of three, three siblings, grew up here when I was a child. Later I went out to travel and write books. I moved back to Wudu a few years ago, mainly to be treated by the wizards of Wudu.

I suffered from an eye disease and have been living here ever since.

Everyone says so... it should be... right?

is that so?

That feeling came again, always feeling like I had forgotten something, but when I thought about it carefully I couldn't remember anything; everything around me was reasonable, but I just felt that there was something extremely unreasonable in this period of reasonableness.

When I got home, my home was a small villa. It seemed that the neighbors helped decorate it... but the layout was a bit like a hotel. The eldest sister, who is best at streamlining housekeeping, had always planned to find an opportunity to officially open a hotel, and the name was...

Everyone had a disagreement on this point. The eldest sister always named the hotel "Yi Yi reluctant to leave", while she preferred the Western-style "Elizabeth".

Throwing those trivial matters behind his mind, once again, when he tried to recall some of the information he had forgotten before, he would inexplicably think of many meaningless trivial matters. The young man returned to his room and gently opened the pages.

I kept my own diary, which only recorded the contents of two or three days. They were all things I jotted down after returning home every day.

There should have been more originally, but I don't know when those previous records were torn out.

Who tore it off? The boy didn't know.

Opening the diary, the boy wrote down some of the things that came to his mind when he was shopping with his childhood sweetheart Xiao Lian today——

Xiao Lian was talking about some things that happened when we were young. It was strange. I seemed to have an impression, but I couldn't feel the sense of familiarity.

We went out of the city in the afternoon...at least in theory we went hiking on the outskirts of the city

But I don’t know why. Thinking about it now, I can’t remember what the scenery of the mountains and forests outside looks like.

Today I ate some food that I was told I liked in the past. It tasted really good, but my tongue was a little numb. I probably don’t like spicy food very much... Why does Xiao Lian think that I have always liked spicy food?

In the end, is there something wrong with my brain, or is there something wrong with the world?

If there is something wrong with my brain, then in order to prevent my memory from being lost that day, then I will continue to write my name again today——

My name is Xiao Yao.

…

After finishing writing the diary, Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief and checked it again. At least according to his current memory, there was no problem. There was one time before when he came back and encountered some things that delayed him. As a result, when he wanted to write the diary at night, he found that he didn't know what to do.

When did you forget what you wanted to record?

"It really gives me a headache. I even wonder if I need to find a chance to look into my brain..." Xiao Yao sighed. This feeling was really unpleasant, as if he was living in "The Truman Show".

The whole world you live in is a drama dominated by others.

"The Truman Show"...wait, what is that? Have you really been exposed to that kind of thing?

It's a story... a story written in a book? A story played by a singer? No, no! I have witnessed that story in some way that I don't know now, and I seem to be filled with emotions...

But...when and where did I see it?

No, this is a very important question and must be written down!

Xiao Yao just turned his head and as soon as he picked up the pen, he realized that he couldn't remember what he wanted to record.

Here we go again... The young man smiled bitterly and flipped through the diary casually: "If this happens a few more times, this diary will probably be accidentally burned that day."

"Brother, go downstairs for dinner! The eldest sister made fish head stew today!" The younger brother's voice came from downstairs. It was Dong Bin, the bratty brother who didn't learn well and spent all day in bars. But the eldest sister Ye Ruoxue is very strict with the housekeeper.

, How come the little brother who is so social outside is like a complete follower of his elder sister at home, and he is obedient to death.

"Okay, okay, I'll come right now... right now..." Xiao Yao's voice gradually became quieter, his eyes widened and he stopped flipping through the diary.

Originally, he just flipped through it casually, until that page passed before his eyes - the page was dark and densely filled with words.

Leaving the diary on that page, Xiao Yao frowned——

Black fog, black fog, black fog, black fog, black fog, black fog, black fog, black fog, black fog, black fog, black fog, black fog, black fog, black fog, black fog, black fog, black fog, black fog, black fog...

On that page, the word "Black Mist" was written in wild and scrawled handwriting. It was densely packed and chaotic. You could almost see from the handwriting how crazy and desperate the person who wrote these words felt in his heart.

But--

"This is my handwriting... But I don't remember at all when I wrote these things... Just before today, there were no such words in this diary..." Xiao Yao murmured to himself, in disbelief.

Look at those words that exude a sense of madness.

It was as if the crazy breath in the words seeped into his brain, causing severe pain to spread from the inside out. It seemed as if everything around him was melting. He vaguely saw a towering tree growing on the withered corpse, and countless indescribable things.

The famous monster danced wildly, looking at himself with bloodshot eyeballs...

"There is no doubt that sometimes, madness and chaos are the true nature of the world... The so-called normality is just that you have been invaded by the hypocrisy of this world." A clear female voice echoed in my ears.
