Doomsday Wonderland

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 sunk 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 swept away any satisfaction that people had in their own existence - the black sea was 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 in a daze at the edge of the city, trembling unexplainedly as he watched the black sea rise and fall in the thick fog, approaching his head in the blink of an eye. For a moment, he actually forgot who he 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, he 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 memoir 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 floating in the sea in the distance, his shadow 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. 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.”

Just as Lin Sanjiu was about to take a step, she suddenly understood the meaning of his words. "I...I have to walk over to wake him up? Can't you 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 take you away." Push it out by force."

In other words, once she decided to wake up Yu Yuan, she had 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 and steps on a certain possibility, it is actually meaningless.

This is how things are in the world: 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 say.

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 over?"

This question hung 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 was even prepared 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, light and 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 and rushed towards 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 reached out her hand and did something she would never do to a data object: she rubbed Yu Yuan's hair.

"Let's not waste time now," 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. 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 said "Hello" and jumped up from the ground. Now the entire space had returned to its original state. She could only see a dozen meters away, and it was completely impossible to distinguish the shape and direction. She thought for a moment, then simply turned around and followed the path she felt was correct. He walked away and shouted: "Ah Quan! If you make a sound, I can't see the way back."

After walking for a while, 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 running in the right direction. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net 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 Quan's voice still sounded as subtle as a thread in the wind.

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

Lin Sanjiu stopped.

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

"yes."

Ah Quan's voice came through from the formless chaos and said: "I took over the memoirs 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 run into me, you will fall into the endless memories of the things I have seen. Although I think you are a good person, I can't risk getting you back. As the creator of this copy And as a steward, I have a responsibility to fulfill as the custodian of people’s memories.”
