Because of Tang Feng's words, Mr. Long made his choice.
Seeing the door, this is progress.
Leaving the door open is an attitude.
After making the choice, a door was added to the infinite space of the door wall. Mr. Long himself was not sure what this 'door' held. In fact, half of the things it contained were similar to Mr. Long's old days.
The other half is related to memory, and the other half is related to Mr. Long’s pursuit. Inside it, the foundation is the world that Mr. Long belongs to, but the addition is what Mr. Long yearns for.
Since Mr. Long didn't go in to explore, no one knew.
Maybe, someday.
When an unknown traveler breaks in accidentally, he will discover this new and different world. However, he definitely doesn't know that this place has anything to do with Mr. Long.
Because of this choice, three different changes occurred here.
The first is that there is an extra door in the wall of doors.
Then.
Secondly, Mr. Long's strength and realm have also changed slightly at this time. It can be said that at this moment he truly saw the 'first level' door wall. He was able to break through the first level before because of his strength and
Luck doesn't mean he can successfully break through every door. Now, he is familiar with the first level of the door wall and has the confidence to break through any door.
Leaving a door behind is equivalent to adding a passable save file to the first wall.
This is not a huge benefit.
But in a way, this is actually a proof of the completion of a stage. It can't let you get anything, but it can let you know what you have accomplished.
The third change.
"Um...I'm sorry to ask, are we partners? We've been together for a long time, right?"
"Why do you ask so suddenly?"
"Can you please reintroduce yourself, I...I don't remember your name now." Tang Feng asked from his soul. This is not a lie or a joke. At this moment, Tang Feng really does not remember Mr. Long's name.
Name, I only vaguely remember that I have been traveling with this person for a long time.
Mr. Long was very surprised to hear this.
but.
After thinking about it again, it seems that it is not so surprising.
Looking at the door that was left behind in the distance, I had a vague feeling that... something of myself was 'left' with it. Although I didn't lose anything, I felt that something of myself was left behind with the 'door'.
.
suddenly.
Mr. Long had an unusual idea: If he changed his name and identity, would he be a 'new' nameless person?
I met an unknown traveler before.
Perhaps, it is not that he is really unknown, but because he has reached the fifth level of the door at the farthest, and he has left at least four doors. In this case, not to mention outsiders, his closest friends and children are probably all
I can't recognize him. He didn't mention his name. Firstly, there was no need to mention it. Secondly, it also meant to 'continue' forward. If he goes further, the 'identity' he uses again will disappear again.
Simply, he could just call himself the Nameless Traveler.
"My name is Long..." Mr. Long explained to Tang Feng again, still using the name 'Long'.
and.
Mr. Long not only explained his identity, but also retold his origins and the reason for the name Long. Furthermore, Mr. Long also talked about his achievements and the choice of leaving a door.
"So, we are not just peers, we have also accomplished something?" Tang Feng was surprised, but he didn't feel that Mr. Long was lying to him.
"Yes, we once met an unknown traveler who told us..."
"Is this so..."
"Well, there are a few more things..."
During the conversation, Mr. Long re-explained things that Tang Feng didn't remember. During this period, he kept asking to know how much Tang Feng had forgotten. Because they promised to go together, and also promised to find answers other than 'forgetting' together. The two of them.
Both believe that there is another answer besides forgetting. On this goal, the two will remain allies until some kind of truth is found.
Tang Feng also listened very carefully.
No doubt.
It was like listening to the nameless traveler's story. There was no need to doubt the truth or falsehood. Because of the difference in strength, and also because there was no need to lie at such a high level. Therefore, the two of them 're' recalled and sorted it out from beginning to end.
, looking for the key points.
"I personally feel, Long, maybe we take the word 'forgetting' too one-sidedly."
"What's the meaning?"
In terms of spiritual practice, Mr. Long is better at it. When it comes to thinking about problems, Tang Feng is better at it.
The two of them don't say who is in charge and who is in charge, they each have different roles.
"The unknown traveler once said that he had seen a team of 72. In our understanding of that team, they belong to the existence of 'death and disappearance', right? In other words, they are no longer in their original space
, belongs to a group that disappeared." Tang Feng mentioned the example of the unknown traveler.
"That's right." Mr. Long agreed with this guess.
"But, it's obvious that someone restored them... or 'recalled' them again. No matter what the reason, they were recalled by someone. Of course, there is another possibility. The wall of the door originally had this
A kind of record and archive can preserve some disappearing celebrities. In any case, there must be a reason for this return. We don't ask the reason, just talk about the reality. Then, the reality is... the disappearing celebrities never really disappear. As long as someone remembers,
Or if there is something they remember, there is always the possibility that they will reappear in the world."
"Including ordinary people." Mr. Long nodded.
There is no need to doubt this guess.
It is completely reasonable to change the target, for example, to...the Seven Relics of the Past World.
If the 72-man team is not a 72-man team, but the Seven Relics of the Last World, then their return is completely reasonable, because the Seven Relics of the Last World are like this. Since 'things' can return, why can't 'people'? This answer
, even without personal verification, I know: it can be done, and people can do it too.
a suitable condition.
A suitable opportunity.
A suitable person or thing.
When various factors add up to each other, what disappears will reappear in the world.
"Perhaps, the 72 people are no longer the original 72 people."
"Yes. But, maybe I am not the original me now. I left the door, but I don't know what that 'door' holds. In other words, it is possible that it was not me who left the door, but
I stayed behind, and then 'The Door' took my place and started again." Mr. Long suddenly talked about himself.
"This is just a possibility." Tang Feng smiled and did not refute.
"That's right, I didn't leave that door behind anyway, so I don't know what it holds. So, it could be anything. If you don't remember me, maybe it's not that you don't know me, but that the me I am now is not the me you knew before.
.When you enter that door, you may find another me you know. Of course, it is also possible. There is no absolute definition of whether we go in or out of the door in the wall of doors."
"By extension, there is no absolute definition of leaving the door behind and leaving oneself behind." Tang Feng continued.
"Yes, that's right..."
"If this conjecture is true, forgetting is not necessarily forgetting, but what we see and hear is not the original one. We run slower, and those who run faster leave a footprint. We cannot say that this footprint is theirs.
Me. However, even if we can think of this, it is just a conjecture and we have no way to prove it. After all, it is me who is the footprints, and we cannot define it." Tang Feng sighed slightly.
"So we need to move on."
"Um."
Without practice, too many ideas are useless. Mr. Long and Tang Feng continued to work hard.
During this period, Tang Feng also saw the ‘door’.
Then.
Just like Mr. Long did, Tang Feng also chose to stay at the door. This time, Mr. Long was well prepared. However, he still didn't remember Tang Feng's name, but he clearly remembered what he and Tang Feng had done together.
.This is not simply forgetting the name, but Tang Feng's entire identity has been forgotten. At that moment, Tang Feng was like someone in a 'dream' to Mr. Long. You knew exactly what you did with him,
But I just can't remember who it is.
Of course.
Tang Feng also explained everything about himself to Mr. Long and reorganized the past.
Unfortunately, this is still of little use.
It can only be said that the two of them were not knocked down by this 'difficulty', and still continued to move forward together. They both believed that one day in the future, they would gain more after meeting and staying with the 'door' again.
a little.
that's all.
In the days that followed, the two of them worked together and practiced together. Slowly, their strength improved, and the number of people in the team also increased. Originally there were only two people, but soon a third, fourth, and fifth person were added.
.
"My name is Katsuo, I think... I should use this title."
"I don't have a name, call me Sameji."
"Yuan Xiao, a random name."
The team got bigger.
Strength and exploration also gradually increased. After the first door appeared, Mr. Long saw the second door. Soon after, Tang Feng, Shengnan and others also succeeded. However, after joint research and joint recording,
, some things are under control, and some things are beyond everyone's expectations.
Under control.
Everyone left the door open and everyone shared their knowledge.
Out of control...
"Tang Feng, Long, Katsuo, Sameji, have you noticed anything strange?"
"What's the matter, Xingdou?"
"We have been a team of five during this period, right?"
"yes."
"But, I accidentally checked the storage, and I found a nameplate that said 'Yuanxiao'. I have the nameplates of Tang Feng, Long, Shengnan, Shark Ji and myself, 'Xingdou', but this sixth piece is
who?"
"Let me flip through it... Hey, I have it too."
"I have one too."
"Me too...who is this Yuan Xiao?"
"..."
There are five people in the group, but they have six nameplates recording the team.
Who does this sixth film belong to?
"This can't be just a coincidence. We have agreed before that we can only store and check our belongings by ourselves. You can't know what I own. Now, the five of us all have the nameplate of 'Yuan Xiao', which proves that
The five of us all have the same experience." Tang Feng was the first to confirm that these were inappropriate and said that it could not be a coincidence.
"But what is our common experience?" Xingdou asked, having discovered the problem.
"Or, we once had a teammate named 'Yuan Xiao'. But for some reason, we forgot about him." Sheng Nan put forward his own idea.
"I guess he left the team." Mr. Long disagreed.
"If you leave the team, why don't we remember it? We don't have any punishment. It's stipulated that if you leave the team, your memory will be cleared. It's definitely not that simple." Xing Dou objected.
"I don't think it's because he left the team. There's no reason why he left the team but asked us to erase his memories." Sameji also objected to this argument.
"Then, no more arguing, let's keep walking. Since we can't figure it out for the time being, if we walk a little more and get more clues, one day we will figure it out. Maybe we won't figure it out in the end, but it will always be better than
We know more now." Tang Feng doesn't want to argue now, because not everything has the answer.
Learn more and think more.
You won't know all the answers by doing this, but you will certainly know more.
