After blinking several times in a row, Lin Sanjiu slowly landed back into her own body.
She was sitting in a spaceship restaurant, immersed in the dull light, with a thin layer of cold sweat on her back.
The loud female voice that spread through the whole town in the dark night, "If you don't listen, you can't go out, close the windows and draw the curtains to get through the hard times...", faded from her ears; the sound of the engine of the spaceship under her feet carried her steadily, sailing towards the distant place.
Broad sea and blue sky.
There are no more Peanut Town and Black Mountain. Under the endless sky and on the sea, it is still the world she is familiar with: the strong wind that stirs up dust and sand when running, the strange colors and hairstyles on passers-by, the long hair swaying out from the broken wall.
Oil paint, a map of the world where you can choose your destination and come and go.
In the porthole not far from the restaurant, a bright sky was revealed, which was intensely blue. On this ship, there was also a puppeteer who was probably sleeping soundly; beside her, Jotense and the life mentor were stretching their heads.
Looked at her.
Opposite her—opposite her—
Lin Sanjiu suddenly jumped up from his chair, threw himself across the table, stretched out his arms and hugged Yu Yuan who was caught off guard.
Even the smell on his body was in her memory: different from the aura created by his tattoos, he always smelled like peach wine that had melted in the cold wind of early spring, cold and biting - she knew where to look for it.
People can find a little sweetness.
Yu Yuan honestly let her hold him, then returned his hand and patted her shoulder comfortingly.
"Is it really you?" She paused, feeling a little embarrassed to show her emotions, so she let go and sat back.
In fact, Lin Sanjiu knew the answer without him having to answer; even though they have exactly the same facial features, face and body shape, the Yu Yuan at this moment and the Yu Yuan of the data body are two completely different creatures - just embracing each other.
He let go after a moment, as if she was tainted by the heat of his breath.
"It's me," Yu Yuan replied patiently, "The me in the data body no longer exists. Now he is a part of me."
When Lin Sanjiu spoke, her voice was like a thin thread that was trembling slightly. She had to press it hard to maintain balance. "What on earth...is going on? I know you explained it, but it's still incredible.
.”
"Then let me pour some cold water on you?" Yu Yuan laughed and said, "To me, no matter what kind of me you successfully reshape, my feeling is 'I'm back'."
Lin Sanjiu really felt like she had been plunged into cold water.
"But how to describe it," Yu Yuan thought for a moment, "You know, my memory has always been basically intact... Looking at the memory, I feel like I took out an old piece of clothing and put it on.
After putting it on, I found that it still fits perfectly.”
That is to say, the difference is not big?
That's great.
"We have been sitting here just now?" Lin Sanjiu looked around and received unanimous nods from Qiaotans and the life instructor. "So real life and experience... are just the effects of objects?"
"Fortunately, it was the effect of the item, not reality," Yu Yuan moved his neck a few times and said, "Otherwise, your life would have been lost trying to save others."
"Eh?" Lin Sanjiu was surprised, "How do you say that?"
"Because the effect of the item is cast on you, it starts and ends on you. 'Life Reshaping' has accumulated enough information to restore me; when you decided to go and save people,
In a moment, we were discovered by the town police and hit by their bullets."
Lin Sanjiu pointed to her nose and asked, "Am I dead?"
"I'll die one step behind you," Yu Yuan nodded, probably remembering the last scene he saw. For a moment, it was like dried cement, with hard edges forming. He paused for a moment, then
He continued: "It's quite interesting that the reshaped life begins with my own death."
"But that woman, no one went to save her?" After saying that, Lin Sanjiu realized it herself, "Oh, fortunately... fortunately it's not true."
Yu Yuan nodded silently, turned away his eyes, and looked at the sky that continued to stretch outside the ship for a while.
Qiaotense and the life coach had been waiting for a long time. When they saw that there was a gap in the conversation, they looked at each other and immediately inserted more than fifty questions in one breath - "Is this person really Yu Yuan? Just now he was in the head
"Grown?" "What town police? What bullets?" "Does he still have the ability of a data body?"
If Jotense was not familiar with him yet, he was relatively shy and restrained, while the life mentor was almost like a rapid-fire barrage; the two hurriedly answered questions, and finally Yu Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said: "The data body's ability is gone.
All my previous abilities are back. However, as a data body, the part of the knowledge that I saved from the great flood is still there."
"Is this why you said you can only write one [Life Reshaping] and we only have one chance?" Lin Sanjiu frowned and asked, "Because you will lose the ability to write?"
"That's not true." Yu Yuan tapped the table with one finger and explained: "The item [Life Reshaping]... is a rare existence. For example, every [Life Reshaping] is an item with
Products with unique numbers must be activated according to the number before they can be used. No matter how many products you copy, if they all have the same number, they can only be used once, and all subsequent products will be scrapped."
This was the first time Lin Sanjiu had heard that there were special items that could be used in this way in the apocalyptic world.
"Can't you 'create' a number based on the number?"
"If the 'created' number is not recognized, it will naturally not be used." Yu Yuan shook his head and said, "What's more, the words, numbers and symbols used in the number are irregular, and the possibilities are endless, so even if it is data
The body cannot make one more [Life Reshaping]. The one I used was because a data body got a [Life Reshaping] by chance. I found this item very interesting, interpreted it, and then
By storing its data in the data flow management library, I got a huge advantage."
Lin Sanjiu really wanted to offer a stick of incense to the data body that had probably passed away.
"Speaking of the data flow library," after the initial surprise and excitement gradually faded, she couldn't help but feel a little worried again. "It was washed away by the flood?"
"It was the cracks and cracks in the space where it existed that caused the great flood." Yu Yuan corrected.
"Okay," Lin Sanjiu waved her hand. After all, she was not concerned about the data flow management library. "I have wanted to ask you for a long time... isn't the gift bag also in that space? How... is he doing now?
"
When the last words came out of her mouth, she felt like a mountain climber looking down at the gravel crushed by her step, falling into clusters into an abyss that could not be explored to the bottom.
Yu Yuan looked at her expression and said slowly: "This is another reason why I must find you..."
Lin Sanjiu didn't know if she was about to fall from the edge of the abyss; she could only keep staring at Yu Yuan, waiting for her fate to be revealed.
"After I brought that small part of Ji Shanqing back to him," Yu Yuan said slowly, "when I set off for the data flow management warehouse, Ji Shanqing was still in the same place... From the ever-expanding flood
Judging from the scale and secondary impacts, there is no doubt that the area where Ji Shanqing is located should have been hit by the flood."
Lin Sanjiu stood there, motionless. The direction of the world's rotation seemed to be opposite to the blood flow in her body. She had to remain absolutely still, otherwise she was afraid that she would be torn apart and become countless fragments in the swirling water.
"I know you have a deep relationship," Yu Yuan spoke a little faster and said, "So I don't want to give you too much hope, because I didn't see it with my own eyes... But after I managed to escape from the data flow management library,
At that time, I got some news from other data entities."
Lin Sanjiu raised her head.
"More than one data body sent a message to track down Ji Shanqing - at that time, the data flow library had been swallowed up by the flood, and we realized in a very short time how big our data loss was.
"When Yu Yuan mentioned the data bodies now, he still seemed to subconsciously think that they were his companions. "The only possible way to save the data is to force his data out of Ji Shanqing's hands."
Seeing that Lin Sanjiu didn't speak for a while, Yu Yuan said again: "...I think this means that Ji Shanqing escaped the flood in time and was targeted by the data body."
I was talking about my new home again today: My landlord is an opportunist who welcomes tenants to bring cats to his house to repel rats. He is a really good person. He is a pilot by profession. He bought a building for rent in his spare time. This is not enough. He also has to pay for himself.
I opened an online ticketing company... I'm already in my 40s and 50s. Isn't this much more energetic than me? I can't even get up in the morning...
