A distant cry rushed through the waves, heavy rain, and darkness. The voice seemed to grab Xie Feng and stop her from sinking any further, and stop her from falling into the depths of the endless black sea.
But it's too late.
Her mother, her sister, her best friend, her partner... were gradually moving away and sinking in the waves, and she had no other choice but to follow them.
"Yu Yuan, it's me, are you okay?"
The voice still didn't give up or dissipate. Instead, it approached in a moment - from the black turbulence rolling under the sea, someone firmly grabbed her shoulder; the hand pressed against her skin and clothes, unexpectedly
The ground is dry, which makes people feel refreshed and their mind is pulled back.
...Yu Yuan blinked slowly.
The night disappeared, the sea disappeared, and the bright sky reflected in his eyes. For a moment, he didn't know where he was or where Dongluo Rongchen had gone - no, that's not right, the data seemed to be confused.
He has never known a woman named Dong Luorong.
It was a memory from "Xie Feng" in a data package. He just accidentally let it run in his mind; before the complete operation was completed, it was interrupted.
"Yu Yuan?"
The woman who abruptly woke him up from that dreamlike state - now he recognized it, she was Lin Sanjiu - was bending down and standing in front of him, with a heavy layer of worry on her face.
And surprise, and... and how happy?
Is she happy to be reunited?
Although the data volume discards emotions, as long as there is sufficient pattern analysis, the emotional expressions on human faces can be identified. After his data processing returned to normal, Yu Yuan quickly recalled everything, so accurately that even
It can be finalized in seconds - he accidentally triggered a person's memory. At the beginning, he still had some self-awareness, and even thought about the cause of the doomsday of those two planets; but what happened later?
Since when did he really think of himself as Xie Feng?
So much so that he even felt a little empty in his arms - the person who should have been hugged tightly by him turned out to have nothing to do with him?
When Yu Yuan was tracing back the "backstage records" in his mind, Lin Sanjiu suddenly plopped down and knelt down beside him, and then he realized that he was half lying on the ground.
Yu Yuan blinked again. At this time, the look on Lin Sanjiu's face was really weird.
She stretched out a hand, a little trembling and hesitant, but she still reached over and landed on his face very carefully.
Yu Yuan was stunned and felt her fingertips gently swiping on the skin a few times.
"You...you are crying."
Lin Sanjiu lowered his head, looked at his fingertips wet with tears, and murmured.
When she raised her head, her eye circles were slightly red; she pursed her lips unconsciously, and all the details showed that she seemed to be about to cry.
This is really baffling.
As a data body, Yu Yuan could shed tears, which already showed that there was something wrong in his body; and when Lin Sanjiu saw him shed tears, she would also shed tears, which is really incomprehensible.
However, something even more inexplicable was yet to come: Yu Yuan raised his hand and touched his face, and found that tears were still pouring out hotly, with no intention of stopping. The tears came so fiercely that they blurred Lin Sanjiu's eyes one after another.
He didn't even have time to clearly see the environment around him at the moment, and he didn't know how to deal with this mistake. He could only sit there for a while, at a loss, and let the tears keep rolling down.
"It's okay, it's okay,"
Lin Sanjiu's tone sounded as if she had been stabbed. She took out a pack of tissues from somewhere and hurriedly pressed several pieces of tea-scented paper onto Yu Yuan's face.
"You must have been affected by someone else's memories. Those are other people's memories. It's okay. You are out now...you will be able to calm down soon."
Such a simple conclusion, Yu Yuan thought of it immediately after regaining consciousness, and there was no need for Lin Sanjiu to say it. However, he remained silent and allowed her to wipe a wad of paper towels on his face several times.
It also pushed his head back and forth.
He shed tears for a total of seventeen seconds.
After confirming that his tears had finally stopped, Lin Sanjiu seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief. She put away the paper and looked at Yu Yuan closely - Yu Yuan had already returned to normal at this time, and he thought his expression was definitely
He also returned to his usual expressionless face.
Lin Sanjiu seemed to be searching for something on his face, but couldn't find anything. She sat back a little disappointed. "It's okay," she said again, and patted his hand: "You will never step into another place again.
It’s a memory, and I’ve thought of ways to make sure we’re all safe.”
...Has she cracked this weird space and found an absolutely safe path?
Before speaking, Yu Yuan turned around and looked around where he was.
Not long after he fell into this weird space, he analyzed its general nature from various signs. The existence of the memory scene itself does not mean that the memory data is running; he estimated that there is a "core" that needs to be triggered by someone.
Only then will the memory data actually start running.
He didn't understand what this "core" was and where it was, so when traveling between "bubbles", Yu Yuan was always very cautious and only walked close to the edge - according to his analysis, this was
A safer route.
However, such a route naturally brings considerable restrictions. When Yu Yuan followed the edge of the previous bubble and stepped forward into the next bubble, he came to a sea - under his feet was a long and narrow dock.
, stretched straight into the sea. He had no other choice but to walk along the dock towards the sea.
But when Yu Yuan stopped crying, he realized that he was not sitting on that dock.
Along with the dock, the sea and the sky disappeared. In fact, he was now sitting on an ordinary piece of ground, with a gray sky above his head. Lin Sanjiu sat next to him and looked out more than ten meters into the distance.
I can't see anything clearly.
This was really strange, because he didn't know what he was seeing clearly.
No matter how ordinary the ground is, it must have a certain appearance. For example, the cement floor is plastered, and the land is also divided into black soil and loess, whether there are weeds or not. But Yu Yuan stared at the floor under him for a long time, and found that
I can't describe it myself.
He couldn't tell what this floor looked like, as if it was too ordinary, too ordinary, and even if he stared at it without blinking, it would slip away from the gap between his attention.
Probably noticing his gaze, Lin Sanjiu seemed to understand his doubts and explained: "That kind of memory territory, before it is shaped by people's memories, is like this in its original and original state... I also
I can’t tell what it looks like, but I think it may be because of its chaotic state that it can be shaped into various scenes.”
Yu Yuan was not used to Lin Sanjiu being the one providing answers.
He now needed to ask Lin Sanjiu how she cracked this space and obtained as much space information as possible. When he opened his mouth, he thought he was going to do this.
However, what he heard himself say was: "...she is dead."
"Who?" Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment, then reacted. "Is it the person in the memory you triggered?"
Yu Yuan nodded, although he still didn't understand why he made frequent mistakes, but as soon as he started talking, continuing to talk seemed to become a smooth and natural thing. "I recognized Xie Feng from the very early part of my memory.
The planet where it is located also knows what happened on that planet...Those two planets are both in my database."
For some unknown reason, he then briefly told Lin Sanjiu about Xie Feng's experience.
"The cause of Morning Star's doomsday, as Xie Feng deduced, is the giant red maple trees that are native to that planet. Part of their roots are distributed on the ground. When dead bodies appear on the ground, they absorb the dead bodies and fuse biological information...
To use an analogy you can understand, after absorbing a large number of dead bodies, they become spirits."
"Where did so many dead bodies come from?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but ask.
"Random deaths caused by extreme climate change are becoming more and more frequent." Yu Yuan replied briefly, "But that is the cause. The ultimate direct destruction of the human world is to absorb more biological information - human information -
And the red maple trees are in crazy activity.”
"Are you active?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help being surprised and asked: "Then... what about Xie Feng's world?"
Yu Yuan paused for a moment. "That is a very special cause of doomsday. Even in my database, the only human world that was ended by this cause is Xie Feng's planet."
Lin Sanjiu listened with rapt attention and leaned forward slightly. Her curiosity made her amber pupils shine with clear luster - she had this look in her eyes when he and she broke through the dream dungeon together. It seems that they have been there for so many years.
, has never changed.
"...it's water poisoning."
"ah?"
"Excessive precipitation in a short period of time poisoned the planet's water. This is the most convenient way for humans to understand." Yu Yuan said in a realistic tone, "You see, Morning Star is a planet in the standard sense, but Noon Star is a planet in the standard sense.
The star is not. The Noon Star is a living organism, and it is probably the result of its choice to be so close to the Morning Star. But no one knows about it."
Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes wide and murmured: "Like...like Sibaan's queen mother?"
"It can be said that." Yu Yuan explained, "Just like there are countless bacterial communities on the human body, originally the planet and humans could continue to coexist. But after Wu Xing was poisoned by water, a series of... well,
Physiological changes. The toxins it produces are expanded and doubled due to continuous precipitation, and are spread to every corner of the planet along with the water.
"That memory was interrupted before it reached the final point," Yu Yuan said while looking around, "But I think it is very close to the end... Dong Luorong is already dead, and later
I don’t think the matter is important anymore. What I really can’t understand is why I was so affected and even fully accepted Xie Feng’s identity... However, this can all be discussed later. How did you find it?
mine?"
Faced with this question, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but smile.
