First Player

13. He finally smiled happily. "

Su Mingan immediately said: "Look!"

Si Que's past must be very "exciting" if you don't look at it in vain.

Si Que smiled: "What I activated was not memory reading, but real time reversal, commonly known as...'quick travel'."

"Because I have time authority, if you look at my memories at different points in time, it is equivalent to you personally going to that point in time. So if you do something different from history, it is equivalent to directly changing history."

"You can call it the "Sique Growth Plan", which is an interactive memory reading."

"The remaining twelve stories are basically in my memory. Let's see if you can collect them all."

"I won't see any content that is inappropriate for children, right?" Su Ming'an pointed out. Who knew how "full of tricks" Si Que had in his past.

"If you want to see it, this is a private bird, and it's an extra price." Si Que smiled mysteriously.

"...It's true." Su Mingan was shocked.

The next moment, black water swallowed him, and the scene in front of him was colorful. Time surged around him, taking him into memory——

Si Que leaned on the recliner and slowly closed his eyes. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth:

"Mr. Lighthouse, now we can be completely honest with each other, and then we can say goodbye..."

…

["The young man pried open the first window."]

["Outside is the dark forest, greedy eagle, reckless bear, lazy lion, dangerous tiger, insidious wolf, hypocritical deer, cruel snake, despicable spider, selfish rabbit, stubborn butterfly, cunning Fox, jealous shark"]

["He held an oil lamp, covered himself with a bright red cloak, carefully pushed aside the ears of wheat, and walked out."]

["'You are lucky'."]

["The butterfly in the forest said to him:"]

["'As a young child, you were chosen by civilization.'"]

["'Happiness has landed in the palm of your hand'."]

["Twelve animals sang:"]

["'As long as you keep walking in the forest, no one will be harmed.'"]

["Really? This way no one will get hurt."]

["The young man is picking mushrooms and adding lamp oil in his hand."]

["He sang:"]

["'As long as the white girl is allowed to go to the marriage hall, loneliness will not happen.'"]

["'As long as the airship flies up to the clouds with cheers, nothing painful will happen.'"]

"'As long as you let the flowers wait to bloom in the mud, nothing regrettable will happen.'"]

["'As long as the source of the world is poured into the pure white system, nothing sad will happen.'"]

["'I want everyone to be happy.'"]

["He stretched out his hand and put his hand into the lamp oil."]

["He lit his little finger and walked forward."]

[“The Sword of Damocles no longer hangs in the air.”]

["He lit his palms on fire and walked forward."]

["Prometheus stole fire (Prometheus)."]

["He lit his arms and walked forward."]

[“Don Quixote defeated the windmill (Don Quixote).”]

["He lit up his chest and walked forward."]

[“Sisyphus pushed the boulder.”]

["He lit up his legs and walked forward."]

[“Plato’s Cave split the skylight (Allegory of the Cave).”]

["He lit his head on fire and walked forward."]

[“The Ship of Theseus has reached its end.”]

["Ah, ah, it turns out that happiness is such a simple thing."]

["'I have seen everyone get happiness'."]

["The boy in the red cloak, forgotten by all living beings, finally smiled happily in the fire..."]

[——Twelve stories of Si Que·Olivis·Part 4·"The Boy in the Red Cloak"]

…

["Si Que Development Plan"]

[Time: Year 143 of the Second Era]

[Age: 4 years old]

…

Su Mingan opened his eyes.

At this moment, "he" becomes "you".

…

You pinched a woman.

A woman with an intoxicated look and a desire for death.

You put your hands on her neck, feeling her beating pulse. Her hands hold yours, forcing your fingers to tighten, tighten...

"Please, please, kill mom quickly, please..." the woman said affectionately.

She has long purple hair and golden eyes - she is your mother. Ninety percent of your appearance is inherited from hers, and your beauty is as stunning as a blooming mandala flower.

You subconsciously want to let go, but the next moment, her hands are clenched and her eyelids are rolled up, like a dying deer——

"Click."

So easily, you killed her with your own hands.

…

"I heard that subject T-1230 strangled his mother to death with his own hands?"

"Yes...it's simply shocking. However, I heard that his mother forced him to pinch him..."

"Is our recent experiment too cruel? Siqin is the best test subject. She gave birth to such an outstanding child, T-1230, after 3030 pregnancies. Why did she commit suicide..."

"What do you think? Let you give birth to a child 3030 times and see?"

"Alas... We researchers are also forced to work here. If we quit, we will be fired at any time. How can we sympathize with the test subjects..."

...

"How is the situation of T-1230 test subject recently?"

"Even though he strangled his mother to death, his emotions are still stable. He is worthy of being the most perfect test subject of this generation! His wisdom, emotional intelligence, charm, and potential are all top-notch. Our 'selection plan' was successful! We really created the most perfect genius!"

"Great! From now on From now on, there will be only geniuses and no mediocre people! Only geniuses will be selected and born, and mediocre people will be eliminated in the gestation stage! The future must be a brilliant world! "

...

"Look, what is T-1230 doing?"

"He is reading the story of Sisyphus."

"Sisyphus, the man who pushes the stone? A seven-year-old child can actually read a philosophical story."

"After all, he is a genius."

"...But I have begun to doubt recently, is he really a genius? Other children in the same batch can already do advanced math problems, but he can't even do elementary school math problems."

"This..."

"He seems to be quite talented in the field of literature...Is there something wrong with the experiment, and he is just a genius in the field of literature?"

"Literary genius...what's the use, it's not as good as the one next door who can do advanced math problems 's children. "

"Yes, various higher races are eyeing us covetously. Power and force are the most important. Scientific thinking and hands-on ability are also important. As for literature? What's the use? Reciting a few sour poems?"

"Unlucky..."

...

"The higher-ups have decided to downgrade the treatment of T-1230."

"Originally it was the highest-level training resource, but it was directly downgraded to the lowest level... It seems that the higher-ups have really given up on him. Yes, what's the use of a child who can only write stories. Other children have begun to understand nuclear energy."

"I saw that he could still eat high-level nutritional supplements a few days ago, but now he can only eat steamed buns. The caregiver is too lazy to even give him water."

"Alas, if he is really only good at literature, he will probably be useless soon. The laboratory does not keep idle people. He is a magpie, right? He can still eat a meal. Roasted magpie, slurp..."

"By the way, Myrna, I heard that some scientific formulas have failed recently?"

"What nonsense are you talking about. How can scientific formulas fail? Vivian, you old drunkard, drink less! Our rigorous and precise scientific world will last for a long time!"

"That's right, haha."

...

"'The boy in the bright red cloak took the golden lamp given by the nightingale. The nightingale told him that as long as he lit himself, he could walk in the dark forest'..."

"Myrna, what are you reading?"

"Vivian, the story written by T-1230 is called "The Boy in the Red Cloak", which is really good..."

"Let me take a look... Well, it's good, a story about a boy in a red cloak walking in the forest... It makes me feel warm in my heart. I haven't felt this way for a long time."

"Every time I read the stories he wrote, I feel... an indescribable touch in my heart. His writing is not particularly beautiful, and his sentence structure is not particularly rigorous, but the true meaning and emotions revealed in it... always make my eyes wet. Although it was written by a child, it made me feel like I was back in my childhood and touched the first emotion in my life. "

"This is a story written sincerely and with spirit. People like us who have become numb and rigid can't write it."

"Yes."

"..."

"...Milan, you don't have any sympathy, do you?"

"Vivian, I..."

"The higher-ups have decided to get rid of T-1230 in a month. The laboratory doesn't need geniuses in the field of literature, which is the most useless talent."

"..."

"Put away your sympathy and don't do things that will make you regret."

...

"Milan, you walked out of room T-1230 again."

"I brought him some candy today, he liked it very much, he wrote a new story, it's about a jellyfish's adventure in the sea, I'll read it to you!"

"No, Milan... I like his story very much, and there are many people in the laboratory who like his story... but this can't change the decision of the higher-ups. In a few days, he will be disposed of... You know, literature is the most useless thing. Now even the Normal College does not recruit students majoring in Chinese language and literature! "

"...Vivian."

"Hmm?"

"Vivian. When I was very young, I loved literature... It made me feel like a bird or a gust of wind, flying freely in a world that has not yet been created... Erasing the mediocre daily life, cutting out the most exquisite adventures, and writing the most free and romantic narratives, the "they" in my heart gradually have souls, which makes me feel that I am not living alone in this world. Every time I read, I feel like I have lived the entire life of the protagonist and experienced the renewal of my soul again and again. "

"..."

"And every time I read No. T-1230...oh, he named himself Si Que. Every time I read Si Que's story, I can feel that I am alive. I can be the boy in the red cloak, or I can be a jellyfish in the sea. Or it could be a girl in the palace."

"..."

"Have you ever thought that literature seems useless now, but maybe in the future, its importance will suddenly rise. Si Que's literary talent is the most powerful I have ever seen, even far surpassing the talents of other children in science . I don’t want a rising star to be eliminated in a short-sighted manner just because it is “useless at the moment.”

"..."

"Sorry, I talked too much..."

"You're right, Myrna."

"I...huh?"

"——When exactly did I forget the little red cloak of my childhood?"

"you……"

"I have been an alcoholic all my life. I have been helpless, without a father or a mother. I have been cautious and useless... It's time to do something that makes me respect myself before I go to the grave."

"Vivian, you will always be my best friend."

"Milna. Come up with a rescue plan while I'm still hot-blooded. Little Sique is not taken seriously now, but it's still very difficult to rescue him... You are still a young girl in your early twenties, you There is still a bright future. When the time comes, just blame this bad old man like me."

…

"Vivian, tomorrow the robot will take little Sique out of the laboratory and send it to the incinerator for disposal. In the process, I will replace the robot's chip and send little Sique out of the door. But how far can it run? , it’s up to him.”

"Chip? Where did you get it?"

"Captain Parry and Ms. Laco brought it in the name of the mission. There is also Seagate, who is responsible for exploring the lines. Ronaldinho got the password to open the door. Merck will mobilize the patrol team, and Motosan will be responsible for the aftermath... "

"They all actually..."

"Yeah, maybe the story of little Sique really moved these old guys. Little Sique stayed here for four years and wrote more than seventy stories. We read each story carefully during breakfast time But...should I put it in a disgusting way...Haha, this is the power of literature. Everyone decided to help him survive!"

“That’s the power of empathy.”

"Originally, we planned to hold some storytelling seminars for little Sique in the future, so that everyone could discuss his story together... However, there is no chance."

…

"Vivian, have you ever thought about why we need to help him?"

"Because the story is very interesting? Because we can't bear to let the pearl fall? Because we have had enough of this kind of life?"

"Because...his story has a magical power to awaken empathy."

"The power of words is shocking."

…

"Let's go, Myrna! The time is up, let's go to our battlefield!"

"Do you believe that little Sique will have great achievements in the future?"

"I don't know. But no matter what - we are doing something we won't regret!"

"We are doing something great!"

"Confirm the replacement chip... Enter the password... Enter the administrator command... Set the escort direction of T-1230 from the incinerator to the back door of the experimental city! There is a vast golden wilderness! As long as you run hard, you can reach anywhere in the world. Go!”

"Yes...little Sique, you are free, let's go, let's go...go to your future..."

"Okay, good boy, walk faster, walk faster!"

"After you go out, run towards the vast golden wilderness, start running! Fly, little Sique, fly!"

…

You run in the golden wheat field and look back.

Under the mountain-white experimental city, two figures wave to you. An old man with gray hair and a girl with black braids.
