The Price of the 1654 Principles

Lin Sanjiu could not forget that scene for a long time.

She had heard a saying before that if there was anything worth living for in the world, it would be beauty. When Yu Yuan's memoirs emerged from the churning gray fog, she suddenly remembered this sentence.

talk.

It was a black sea covered by heavy rain, breaking through the dense fog. The dark waves rose high from the gray fog, wrapped in a frightening power that shattered the frame of the world, roaring and surging in the silence, as if

Thousands of anger arising from the depths of the universe sweep away any satisfaction that people have in their own existence - the black sea is like the destruction and judgment of the dark world weighing on their heads. If there is a kind of beauty that comes from the extreme, then there is no comparison.

Destruction is even more beautiful.

Lin Sanjiu stood at the edge of the city, trembling unexplainedly, watching the black sea rise in the thick fog, sinking down, and approaching her head in the blink of an eye. For a moment, she actually forgot who she was.

"Memories often change forms, especially after being triggered by others." Ah Quan's words woke her up from the state of being possessed, "I will turn around and give you the place where he was.

look."

When Lin Sanjiu looked back at the Black Sea, she found a small figure among the waves of different shades of ink-like color. From a distance, it seemed to be Yu Yuan.

When the memory met the city, and the two connected with each other, it no longer seemed like an infinite sea of ​​anger pressing down from the sky, and lost its soul-shuddering beauty; next to the narrow and pyrotechnic

The streets and alleys of the city are like a sea with rolling waves under the black rain. Yu Yuan is rising and falling in the sea in the distance, and his shadow is as small as a black dove falling into the water.

"I can pause the memoirs," Ah Quan and Lin Sanjiu were standing at the junction of the narrow alley and the sea. He explained: "As soon as you step over, all the progress of the memoirs will be suspended, and the memoirs will be suspended."

It will temporarily disappear and return to the original state before it was engraved in the memory. At that time, he can also be awakened. To be honest, it is rare to be so immersed that he has completely forgotten his identity.

, otherwise generally speaking, when the memoirs stop, people should wake up.”

Lin Sanjiu was about to take a step when she suddenly understood the meaning of his words. "I... I have to walk over to wake him up? You can't bring him here?"

Ah Quan turned his head to look at her and smiled.

"I can control the memoirs, but I can't control the people in them." He seemed to fully understand what Lin Sanjiu was thinking, and replied with a smile: "For example, just now, no matter how much I want you to leave, I can't let you go."

Push it out by force."

In other words, once she decides to wake up Yu Yuan, she has to take the initiative to leave Ah Quan's Urban Memoirs. After leaving, whether Ah Quan will stay where he is...that is a question.

Lin Sanjiu bit her lips and hesitated for a moment.

He may have many intentions, but even if he guesses it and hits a certain possibility, it is actually meaningless.

Things in the world are like this: every situation has potential limitations and risks. When a person is at a crossroads, how to choose and where to go? Even if you have thought about everything beforehand, you cannot predict and control the results afterwards.

Of course, she could catch Ah Quan first, and then everything would be easy to follow.

But Lin Sanjiu was unwilling - no matter what the consequences, she hoped to act according to her own principles.

"I destroyed your memoirs, really hoping to force out some truth and get my friends back. Meeting you was really unexpected." She glanced at Ah Quan and said, "Then the other one..."

"I will transfer his memoirs right now," Ah Quan replied immediately. After a pause, he looked at Lin Sanjiu and asked, "So, do you want to go there?"

This question seemed to hang in the air for a moment.

Lin Sanjiu turned back and smiled at him, then raised her foot and crossed the dividing line between memoirs.

She thought she would suddenly fall into the water, and she was even ready to swim over. Unexpectedly, when she fell one step further, the sea water immediately receded and her footsteps landed on an indescribable texture:

It's like clouds and mist can suddenly support weight, dispersing lightly, invisible but firm.

Lin Sanjiu looked back and saw that Ah Quan was still looking carefree, smiling and pointing in the distance - she turned around, took off her feet and rushed in the direction of Yu Yuan.

"This is irrational behavior,"

Yu Yuan, who took seventeen seconds to calm down after being awakened by her, said with a scalpel-like precision and indifference: "If I have been immersed in memories and cannot get out, which has led to the disorder of my own consciousness,

There is no real loss to you. You saved me, and I am not the Yu Yuan in your memory. But if you leave Urban Memoirs, you have lost the only way to check and balance the controller, and the possibility of leaving is drastically reduced.

, no matter which angle you look at it, I can’t understand it.”

After hearing his opinion, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help laughing. She stretched out her hand and did something she would never do to a data object: she rubbed Yu Yuan's hair.

"Now let's not waste time," Yu Yuan, still with a straight face, lectured her: "Let's go separately. You go and see if A Quan's Urban Memoirs is still there, and I'll go and see where Ji Shanqing is.

Has the memoir been transferred here? You have met Ah Quan and can talk to him. It will be more effective for you to go to him than me."

Lin Sanjiu responded with a "Hello" and jumped up from the ground. Now the entire space had turned into its original state. She could only see a dozen meters away. It was completely impossible to distinguish the shape and direction; she thought

After thinking about it, she simply turned around and followed the path she felt was correct, while shouting: "Ah Quan! If you make a sound, I can't see the way back."

After walking for a long time, her shout seemed to be finally heard by Ah Quan; in the distance, a shout came from an invisible distance: "I'm over here."

Lin Sanjiu realized that she was not running in the wrong direction. She breathed a sigh of relief and ran a few steps faster, but her pace gradually slowed down.

There was no other reason than that the sound was too far away.

She had walked back quite a distance, but Ah Quan's voice still sounded as subtle as a thread in the wind.

"I'm sorry," Ah Quan said distantly.

Lin Sanjiu stopped walking.

"...Have they separated?" When she asked, she was not surprised at all - this was the price she was willing to pay in order to find her friends.

"yes."

Ah Quan's voice came through from the formless chaos and said: "I took over the memoir where the other child was, and you can find him soon. I'm very grateful that you didn't take action against me just now, and you should too

Thank yourself, because if you meet me, you will fall into the endless memories of what I have seen. Although I think you are a good person, I can't risk letting you come back. As the creator of this copy, I

As a custodian and caretaker of people’s memories, I have a responsibility to fulfill.”

I specially bought a set of small pots for herbs. They are beautiful and look great in the kitchen. I can’t wait to plant the coriander and green onions. If I am anxious from now on, I will go there every hour to check and urge the seeds.

Germinate early. Nature really doesn’t work. The efficiency is not high enough. The seeds don’t emerge for several hours. There are three pots in total. I planted two kinds of spices and another one. What do you think is better to plant? Who can leave a message for me to plant pumpkins?

Who are you in a hurry with?
