Doomsday Wonderland

When Lin Sanjiu looked back behind her, she could still see the goddess and the painter sitting on the ground in the distance - the former, out of curiosity, picked up the book she had just taken out of the card library, and looked at it with her head turned upside down. It was shaking and he didn't know whether he could read or not; the painter was bored and groped for things on the blanket one by one. Sure enough, he knocked over half a can of beer when he raised his hand. He immediately went to take out a pen and paper in a panic, as if he was going to Use the painting to "suck" the beer out of the blanket.

She sighed inwardly.

She took those things out for her own enjoyment; but somehow, humanoid objects that didn't know how to enjoy took over for her, and she went to work outside the edge of the Astronomical Park.

At this time, this humanoid object that looked like a fitness instructor was looking at her with an expression full of encouragement and hope, and asked her as if inspiring: "How is it? Have you thought of the answer?"

"...What's the problem?" Lin Sanjiu came back to her senses.

To be honest, she needs to get some sleep now; she has discovered enough answers and truths today, so she has to leave some mysteries in the world.

The instructor is very patient with students who are not motivated. "Do you understand how you triggered the memory? Think about it carefully. You are actually very clever. I have confidence in you."

"Actually" is very clever, does that mean she looks stupid?

"I've thought about it before, but I really couldn't guess it."

Lin Sanjiu spread his hands, indicating that he had exhausted his talents. She pointed to the Astronomical Park, which was just a stone's throw away but did not dare to enter, and said: "Sometimes it triggers as soon as I enter, and sometimes it doesn't trigger after walking for a long time. I have never touched anything randomly, and there are no switches on the ground. , as I was walking, it suddenly slipped into my memory, and I don’t know why.”

The instructor was not impatient at all when he was teaching me. He said, "There is more, you can continue talking."

"What else can you say?"

"Anything about 'triggered memory', just say whatever comes to mind," he inspired, raising his hands to his ears, spreading his fingers wide open, shaking them like starfish a few times, and said, "If you want to think divergently, the answer is In it!"

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but sigh. She could only think about it and said: "Well... the last second when the memory was triggered, there was basically no sign. After the memory was triggered, I was already attached to the memory owner, and everything felt natural at that time. , I won’t even have the regret of triggering a memory... It won’t be until the end of a memory that I suddenly wake up next to the owner of the memory. After triggering it once, as long as I don’t go out in the same memory territory, I won’t It will trigger memories again, you know this."

After she finished speaking, there was silence for a few seconds.

The instructor looked at her with wide eyes, as if he could barely suppress his expectation.

"Hmm...? That's not right," Lin Sanjiu tilted her head and said to herself: "Before I triggered the memory... it seems that the memory owner did not exist."

She wasn't sure, but she felt that it shouldn't exist - otherwise she would have been wary when she saw a figure in the distance, and would never have walked all the way to the memory owner.

She was a little stunned. Whenever she wakes up from a memory, she has spent several years with the memory owner; at that time, the memory owner will appear next to her, and it feels so natural - as if they were meant to be here.

What's more, taking the fat old man as an example, the moment before triggering his memory seemed like eight years ago to Lin Sanjiu. After such a long period of time has passed in one's sanity, it is actually blurry to think back to what this place was like eight years ago.

"It's true," Teacher Yi promptly solved her last doubt.

"Wait, let's put it this way, after I walked into the forest for the first time, I woke up from Yaichi Liu. The second time I was on the sidewalk, my memory was triggered. When I woke up, I found Heidi standing next to her. Behind the door on the first floor of the apartment building, looking at the sidewalk through the anti-theft railing..."

Heidi was the owner of the second memory - Lin Sanjiu compared the distance between him and her at that time and said: "Although we are separated by a door, the distance between us will not exceed two meters at most. "

The third time, she woke up in front of the fat old man. Now she remembered: At that time, she saw a bookstore here from a distance, and she habitually wanted to come over to see if she could collect the books. The memory was triggered at the door of the bookstore.

At that time, the door of the bookstore was empty; it was not until the end of the memory that the fat old man appeared from the door.

...It turns out the answer is so simple.

"Does it mean that once I get close to the owner of the memory, the memory will be triggered?" She stared at her life mentor with a bit of disbelief and said, "Before the trigger, I couldn't see these guys?"

The instructor smiled comfortingly: "Look, you once again proved that my confidence in you is correct."

"Then the memory owner itself is equivalent to a switch?" Lin Sanjiu murmured, "It's just like an ordinary light switch. If you don't reset it, it will always remain in the same state when it is turned on or off. The state of being shut down..."

When she figured this out, she vaguely guessed the intention of the life mentor.

No matter what is going on in this memory space, it must have a set of rules and logic for its own operation - although Lin Sanjiu still doesn't understand what the logic of this set of rules is.

When it was running smoothly according to its own orbit, Lin Sanjiu couldn't get out, let alone how to find the gift bag and Yu Yuan; if she wanted to get out, she had to try to disrupt the operation of this space first, and inside it Create chaos - only with chaos can there be gaps.

As for "where to start", that was the reason why the instructor asked her to put away the fat old man.

"Not bad, your ideas are starting to take shape," the life coach praised, "If we were a little more bold, imagine letting one switch trigger another switch... what would happen?"

They are essentially objects, and even if they were to intentionally find the memory owner, they probably would not be able to trigger memories. But the memory owners are all the same thing. Will they react to each other?

I’m afraid you won’t know until you try it.

Although Lin Sanjiu needed rest and recovery physically and mentally, but seeing that a plan was taking shape and would be realized soon, she couldn't find any reason not to do it - she really looked for it with all her heart.

For example, there is a problem at hand that needs to be solved first: the fat old man is there, but where is the memory owner of the Astronomical Park?

"I couldn't see him before I triggered it, and it's useless after I triggered it -" Lin Sanjiu said half of the sentence, his eyes fell on the smiling face of the life mentor, and then looked at the Astronomical Park, the second half of the sentence finally became A long drawn out: "...Oh."

"You have thought of it too, right?" The instructor waved his hand, passing through the boundary between the two memory territories in mid-air, and then took it back.

She had thought of it.

The astronomical park in front of us may be on a holiday or weekend, and there are many people coming and going. A vending truck selling hot dogs and ice cream, a girl playing skateboard, a young couple sitting on the long steps, parents with their children looking up at the stars, a tour guide wearing a red hat and a group of tourists behind her... Like this: Wontons, that's not a problem; it's just that the crowd is really dense enough.

The advantage of having many people is that each person is equivalent to a mark of "there is no memory owner here".

"Strangers tend to keep a certain distance between each other," Lin Sanjiu could feel his own reluctance as he spoke: "I can use the park visitors as a foothold, and release the fat old man to test them in the open space next to them. , looking for the location of the memory owner..."

Of course, it is also very possible that the memory owner came with someone and was walking next to a tourist in an invisible state; but if that is the case, firstly, we can tell the clues from the tourist's demeanor, and secondly, he is walking past. Before that, you can also use the fat old man to "clear mines".

"What if the owner of the memory doesn't trigger the memory, but when I walk over, it's me who triggers the memory," Lin Sanjiu asked with a face, "Wouldn't I have to experience the memories of a stranger again?"

"There is no plan in the world that is absolutely successful and will not cause any surprises." The life coach clapped his hands and said, "Any action has risks. When we are more sure of winning, we must attack decisively!"

Isn't this just using a stick to detect landmines, costing her a bowl of noodles?

"I just think this plan is tiring and risky," Lin Sanjiu couldn't arouse much interest and said, "I almost slept during this time..."

That being said, she was already prepared to this point, so she just did it so that her mentor could shut up.

Her body has always been faster than her brain. With this thought, her feet first crossed the dividing line between Tianxiang Park and Twelve Worlds Bookstore - as soon as her left foot was placed, she suddenly remembered the humanoid object behind her and was still worried about leaving it behind. .

"Painter, Goddess," Lin Sanjiu turned her head and shouted to the back: "You two, bring the things up here!"

While shouting, she prepared to take back her left foot.

However, it was at this moment that she felt her left foot slowly moving forward.

Lin Sanjiu was horrified and suddenly understood: the Astronomical Park was going to float away.

She must never let the Astronomical Park drift away - who knows what the next memory field will be like? The memory territory full of tourists is too ideal and rare; and this plan can only be implemented in places with many people. UU reading www.uｕkanshu. net

But it had begun to float outward. What could she do?

Lin Sanjiu's whole body tensed up for a moment. Her left foot was still firmly planted on the slowly moving ground, and her mind was a little confused. In desperation, she quickly turned around again and urged: "Hurry up, hit me." I’ll get it!”

At this time, the painter and the goddess also realized that the situation was not good - they didn't even have time to wipe off the "dumbfounded" look on their faces, they jumped up hurriedly, swept and rolled up the things on the ground, and gathered them in their arms. He ran towards Lin Sanjiu with a clanking clang, rolling down things as he ran: peanuts, beer cans, playing cards...

The life coach was very knowledgeable about the current situation. He had already touched her hand and turned it back into a card.

Lin Sanjiu's left foot seemed to be defecting, getting farther and farther away from her little by little; one foot was in the Astronomical Park, and the other was in the Twelve Realms. Her legs were spreading further and further apart, and her body was gradually getting closer and closer. Lowered it - looking down, there was already gray mist coming up between the gaps.

She almost laughed out of anger for a moment, wishing she could be thrown into the gray mist by her life mentor; she turned around and shouted: "Come here before my fork strikes!"
