Infinity Throne

Yi Lin slowly turned her head.

The neck is slightly stiff.

He was still holding the question mark scepter in his hand.

——Edward's scepter.

"Little old man Edward, what's your problem?"

Yi Lin asked.

Edward flipped all the playing cards to the ground in a playful manner.

Showdown.

He doesn't play anymore!

"?"

"NONONONONO——!"

Edward lay on the ground and refused to get up.

The corners of Yi Lin's mouth twitched slightly.

What does this mean, you can't play but why are you cheating?

Although Yi Lin won this little game, there was an element of cheating.

But didn't Edward cheat too?

Games, isn’t it about technology?

"Let's compete again!"

Edward lay on the ground, staring at Yi Lin with his eyes wide open.

"Compare?"

Yi Lin pondered for a moment.

He weighed the question mark scepter in his hand and glanced at Edward who was lying on the ground and refused to get up.

Weighed it and looked at it again.

After a few seconds, he smiled slightly and tapped the ground several times with his scepter.

"Haha, Edward, isn't it just a crutch? It's pretty handy to hold on to, but it's not like I won't change it, so why do you need to be so mean?"

"You are a swindler, and your whole family is a swindler!" Edward suddenly sat up, his waist crackling, and he suddenly smiled coldly: "You can borrow that rag as long as you like, I, the wise Edward, have neat hands and feet, no need That crap."

After a pause in his tone, a glint flashed in Edward's eyes: "I, the wise Edward, just want to prove to you my wisdom."

Yi Lin's smile widened a little: "If you are really smart, why do you need to prove it?"

"..."

Poor old Edward, how to deal with this kind of complaints from the new era.

There is nothing fuc... to say at the moment.

"And..." Yi Lin added seriously: "And I can only borrow it for a few days. Really, I will definitely pay it back, so there is no comparison."

"You want that crappy thing?" Edward was a little confused as to what the crutch was for.

"No, I'm just borrowing the pestle for a few days. I'm an honest old man."

"If you win, you don't have to return that broken stick."

"Isn't this... bad?" Yi Lin hesitated for a second, and then immediately said: "Okay, to what?"

"!"

Edward stayed for a few seconds, his face turned a little dark, but he quickly reacted.

Edward stood up slowly, picked up the green gentleman's hat that fell at his feet, and put it on his head again.

He patted the non-existent dust on his body and smoothed the green suit carefully.

Straighten your tie.

The brim of the hat is lowered.

Under the brim of the hat, a pair of eyes full of wisdom were revealed.

There is a faint hint of evil charm.

A bad old man who leaked his evil charm.

But no matter what, after Edward finished tidying up his clothes, the temperament he inadvertently revealed was something that no ordinary old man could possess.

Of course, the premise is that Yi Lin can completely forget the scene where this guy was lying on the ground and acting recklessly.

Edward bowed and took off his hat, and gave Yi Lin the courtesy of an aristocratic gentleman.

Gentle and polite.

If he wasn't an old man, he would be pretty cool.

Edward smiled slightly and put on his gentleman's hat again: "Forgive me for only formally introducing myself now. I, the Riddler who once filled Gotham with question marks, the embodiment of wisdom, the wise Edward Nygma. Mr. Yilin, The wisdom you display is like the waves of the Splendid River, and you have my recognition."

"Oh, what then?"

"hey-hey--"

Edward chuckled and gradually entered the state.

A state that is unique to him.

"who I am?"

"?"

Edward closed his eyes, as if recalling his past glory.

I saw him speak slowly: "I can fill an entire room, or a heart. Others can have me, but I cannot be shared... What am I?"

The Riddler?

riddle?

Hidden mission?

Yi Lin's eyes flashed.

I vaguely grasped some tricks.

I see.

"Lonely."

"I will accompany you from birth to death. Who am I?"

Yi Lin thought for a moment: "Name."

"I cannot be bought, but I can be stolen at a glance. I am worthless to one person, but priceless to two people... What am I?"

"love."

"If you know me, you want to share me. If you share me, I will disappear. What am I?"

"secret."

Yilin answered four of Edward's riddles correctly.

Edward's expression gradually became serious.

But he did not stop and continued: "I can bring tears to your eyes, resurrect the dead, I will be formed in an instant and last a lifetime... What am I?"

Yi Lin lowered her head slightly.

There was a moment of silence.

After a few seconds, he raised his head again.

His expression was calm: "Memory."

"!!!"

"……who I am?"

"who I am?"

"..."

The two of them asked and answered questions.

Ten riddles passed in the blink of an eye.

Yi Lin actually answered them all without missing a beat.

"Old man, you, you cheated!"

Edward suddenly shouted.

"?"

Yi Lin gave Edward a strange look.

Is this considered cheating?

These are old-fashioned riddles, and in Yi Lin's impression, they seem to have been seen in some enlightenment electronic books when she was a child.

If Yi Lin was before becoming an apostle, she might not remember it.

But now that Yi Lin's mental strength has increased greatly, her memory has been horribly strengthened. Some weak memories, after a little recall and simple reasoning, these riddles are not too complicated.

Furthermore, these riddles are clearly from the same template, okay!

Is it difficult to draw inferences from one example?

——No surprises.

"you're old."

Yi Lin gently patted Edward's shoulder and comforted him.

"..."

"You have completed Wise Edward's challenge, and it is yours!"

Edward sat down slowly.

A look of frustration.

It seems that he is really old.

It’s a young person’s world now.

Nonsence.

etc.

Edward looked up again.

He glanced at Yi Lin.

He looked left and right, but he couldn't see why this bad old man who had defeated him was younger than him.

Just when the Riddler said those words, a long-awaited reminder finally appeared in front of Yi Lin's eyes.

[Side plot mission "Old...Edward's Riddle Challenge", successfully obtained ownership of the "Question Mark Scepter"! 】

The moment the task is completed.

The question mark scepter in her hand that originally belonged to Edward made Yi Lin feel a little more intimate and connected by blood.

Just a little bit.

Before Yi Lin had time to carefully check the properties of the [Question Mark Scepter], she felt a slight vibration from the "Death Mark" on her chest.

It's Pan Xiaozheng.

Yilin silently turned on the communication function.

There is only one brief sentence above.

"Come to Room 1132, Area A!"

Area A?

Among the chaotic corridors in the maze of different memories here, this building is neatly organized, and there is even a map of the entire building thoughtfully hung on the wall.

Yi Lin closed her eyes and displayed the map in detail in her mind.

It didn't take much time to locate the location Pan Xiaozheng mentioned.

There……

It seems to be a waste disposal room?

Why is it there?

Although Yi Lin doesn't understand.

But after all, Pan Xiaozheng is a relatively normal version of "Pan Zhengyi". He can communicate and communicate, so he shouldn't be too screwed up.

Unless...the medicine has worn off.

Yi Lin walked as quickly as possible towards the place Pan Xiaozheng mentioned based on the map in her mind.

Of course, the so-called fastest speed... is only a little faster than the speed of cherry blossoms falling.

Speed ​​10 centimeters per second.

There is no other reason than waist and leg pain.

But Yi Lin already felt lucky.

He took the mental route. Although he fell into an aging state inexplicably, he did not suffer from Alzheimer's disease, stroke sequelae and other negative states that affect the brain.

Although the power of telekinesis is limited, it can still be used.

Not so passive.

Compared to others, the situation should have some advantages.

on the way.

Yi Lin passed by many wards.

As he passed by, he also glanced at the small sign above the room.

"Harley Quinn".

"Bane".

"...Cobot".

This prefix was too long and Yi Lin didn't look carefully.

"Victor Frith".

"Dr. Jonathan Crane."

"..."

Yi Lin, a little old man walking in the corridor, wearing a patient uniform, no one paid attention to him.

The journey was smooth.

When Yi Lin came to the place Pan Xiaozheng mentioned, she found that the place was deserted and deserted.

Ten meters away is the waste disposal room.

Yi Lin stopped and took a few breaths.

By the way, I released my senses and looked around.

Nothing unusual.

Yi Lin frowned and walked into the waste disposal room.

This is a small room of only ten square meters, with all kinds of garbage piled on the four walls.

There is domestic waste and medical waste, which are not strictly classified according to the type of waste.

This is not environmentally friendly.

"?"

suddenly.

Yi Lin's eyes narrowed.

In the corner it seems...

"Presbyopia is really troublesome..."

Yi Lin shook her head helplessly, and when she got closer, she saw that there was indeed a pool of blood on the ground.

The blood was dark red and had not yet dried up.

Yi Lin carefully knelt down and touched the blood with her hand.

There was a hint of warmth on the fingertips that had not yet completely cooled down.

Whose blood?

Yi Lin frowned slightly.

Open the communication list and take a look.

Pan Zhengyi’s name is still lit.

It means he's not dead yet.

Yi Lin moved her fingers and sent a private message to Pan Zhengyi on the chat interface.

…

Yi Lin: Where are the people?

Pan Zhengyi: Yo ho ho ho.

Yi Lin:?

Pan Zhengyi: Hehehehehe.

Yi Lin: Not dead yet?

Pan Zhengyi: Boy! You are very ill!

…

Yi Lin silently closed the chat window.

It seems that Pan Zhengyi is not dead.

It's just...the medicine has worn off.

Yi Lin calculated the time carefully. Although he spent some time happily playing a small game with the Riddler, it should not have been more than an hour.

In other words, due to the influence of aging, the efficacy of NT-046 has been compromised.

Or... has developed drug resistance?

"Yirin?"

Unexpectedly, a voice sounded behind Yi Lin.

Yi Lin slowly turned her head.

I saw Dr. Jack standing at the door with a smile on his face, looking at him with a kind look.

"How will you be here?"

Although Dr. Jack is old, his physical fitness seems to be much tougher than Yi Lin's, and his actions are crisp and clear.

"I'm lost."

Yi Lin chuckled.

Doctor Jack didn't ask any more questions, and Yi Lin didn't plan to stay here.

The effect of Pan Zhengyi's medicine has expired, and the NT-046 is all in Pan Zhengyi's storage space. It will not be possible for Pan Zhengyi to return to a state where he can communicate for a while.

So Yi Lin could only speculate in her mind about the story of that pool of blood.

Yi Lin silently followed Dr. Jack.

Not a word was spoken.

Yi Lin's fingers trembled slightly.

There were two bloody filaments suddenly and silently entangled there.

It can cut gold, break stone, and draw blood.

Follow me like a shadow!

Yi Lin took two steps in quietly.

Only half a meter away from Dr. Jack.

His bloodshot fingers slowly moved towards Dr. Jack's neck.

Getting closer.

In theory, with a slight shake, a tug, and a tug, the head would fall off Dr. Jack's neck.

Even if Yi Lin strikes quickly enough and Jack dies simply enough, the fallen head might still be able to blink and bounce around for a few more seconds.

10 cm.

5 cm.

3 cm.

Yi Lin's fingers and the blood on them almost touched the skin of Jack's neck.

"correct……"

Dr. Jack suddenly turned his head.

He saw Yi Lin walking slowly behind him, about one meter away from him.

"Do you feel uncomfortable now?"

Yi Lin smiled slightly, with a warm smile: "It's nothing uncomfortable. By the way, when can I finish the treatment?"

Jack chuckled: "Don't worry, your treatment is almost over. You will have a few more treatments..."

suddenly.

boom--

There was a loud bang from the end of the corridor.

"Fuck ahhhhhhh--"

Almost at the same time, there was a miserable scream.

Immediately afterwards, a somewhat familiar figure, accompanied by a pillar of blood, quickly passed over the heads of Jack and Yi Lin.

call out--

boom.

Boom! Boom...boom.

The figure bounced a few times at the end of the corridor, and then stopped moving in an instant.

Yi Lin looked back expressionlessly.

In an instant, my scalp felt slightly numb.

He has squinty eyes and a big belly!

Dead or not?

Yi Lin didn't have time to distinguish the condition of her big belly.

He turned around quickly.

"Hehehe... Dare to steal my stick? Are you looking for death?"

A mature and charming voice reached Yi Lin's ears.

Tap tap tap.

I saw a tall and enchanting figure, twisting her slender waist, walking slowly from the direction where the big belly came from.

The enchanting woman wore black leather boots, her fair skin looming out of the fishnet stockings, and her lower body wore crotch-length hot pants. Looking further up, her belly button was exposed on her waist, and there was a ring in her belly button. Her upper body wore A sexy T-shirt. There is a huge "heart" pattern printed on the T-shirt, and there is a line of ferocious letters "Fuckkkk" in the center of the heart.

I don’t know why, but the heart pattern and the line “Fuckkkk” look a little distorted, with the middle protruding out, making it look very three-dimensional.

It turns out to be a sexy...old lady.

Although the old woman seemed to be of a certain age, she seemed to be well-maintained. She had exaggerated heavy makeup on her face and two shoulder-length double ponytails on her silver-pink hair.

"Harry! Why did you hit someone again?"

Harley?

Yi Lin quickly retrieved the relevant information from her memory.

Passed by a room while passing by.

There is a name tag on it.

Harley Quinn?

Harley Quinn was carrying a regular metal baseball bat in her hand, which was pitted and seemed to be stained with blood.

Yi Lin observed three seconds of silence for the big belly.

Harley Quinn stepped on her leather boots, twisted her waist, walked up to Jack, and giggled: "Who let this ugly guy want to steal my dick? He really wants to steal it. This long night makes me How to spend it? Hehehe~Dr. Jack, you know..."

"..."

"..."

Yi Lin looked away from Harley Quinn and fell on the baseball bat.

——A bit thick.

But that doesn't matter.

What's important is that he can roughly guess why Big Belly wanted to steal the metal baseball bat.

Just like the Question Mark Scepter he "won" from Edward... it's most likely an epic piece of equipment!

Yi Lin was secretly grateful.

Fortunately, he felt that there was something wrong with that thing being placed casually in the corner.

So I chose a safer way and won the victory from Edward's hands openly.

Well, relatively speaking, it's more above board.

Otherwise, it will be like a big belly, triggering some kind of death FLAG.

This facility, which looks like a nursing home, seems to have simple folk customs, but in fact it is full of crises.

Memory maze.

The missing Pan Zhengyi.

Blood stains in the garbage room.

There was also a big belly that was knocked away more than ten meters away by a stick.

"Huh!"

suddenly.

Harley Quinn's eyes lit up when she noticed Yi Lin following Jack.

She walked towards Yi Lin, looked up and down a few times, and there was actually a little more interest in her eyes.

Yi Lin silently moved back a few centimeters.

Harley Quinn suddenly stuck out her scarlet tongue, licked her lower lip painted with bright lipstick, and giggled: "Are you getting married?"

Yi Lin was stunned: "?"

"Aha... let's forget it."

Harley Quinn suddenly shook her head again.

Yi Lin: "???"

Harley Quinn waved to Dr. Jack and blew a kiss, then twisted her waist and stepped on her long high heels and left.

He didn't even look at the pot-bellied old man whose life or death was uncertain.

"Harry is a bit of a joker, don't mind."

Jack explained with a smile and continued to leave with Yi Lin.

joke?

Yi Lin quietly looked back.

The two of them walked through the corridors.

Finally arrived at Dr. Jack's office.

suddenly.

Yi Lin's eyes moved slightly.

This is a bright office.

The configuration is simple.

It's just a desk, a bed, and a bathroom.

Hey, wait?

Why are there beds in the office?

"You can sit down wherever you like and wait a moment. I will record today's medical history for you soon."

Dr. Jack picked a folder from his desk.

There was a thick layer of documents sandwiched inside.

Yi Lin hesitated for a second and decided not to let Bai Xiaoyi out for the time being.

After all, Jack doesn't seem to be as easy to fool as Edward.

"Huh?"

Quite suddenly.

With a puzzled look on his face, Jack lowered his head and touched the pockets of his white coat, and then rummaged through his trouser pockets a few more times.

"Where are my keys?"

Yi Lin raised her hand with a calm expression: "Dr. Jack, when you came to see me just now, I saw that something fell out of you."

"Damn it! Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Dr. Jack cursed in a low voice at first, then realized that he seemed to be a little out of sorts, so he smiled slightly, asked Yi Lin to wait where he was, and hurriedly left the room.

After Dr. Jack leaves.

Yi Lin sat quietly on the chair without making any movement.

There was silence in Jack's office.

It was so quiet that you could faintly hear the moans next door.

The next door seems to be Harley Quinn's room?

30 seconds later.

Suddenly the door opened again.

Jack asked behind the door with a smile: "Are you sure it's the garbage disposal room?"

"That should be correct, Dr. Jack."

Yi Lin smiled slightly.

"good!"

Jack finally left.

"call--"

After seeing that Jack was finally willing to leave, Yi Lin slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Next..."

Yi Lin ignored the weird noise coming from next door and walked straight to the desk.

This desk is clearly the same as Jack's desk in his Memory Maze!

Even the computer on the desk is the same model.

Theoretically, everything that happens in the memory maze comes from Yi Lin's "memory".

However, Dr. Jack and this table were not in Yi Lin's original memory.

unless……

On the desk, there are five folders.

The meaning...is self-evident.

Yi Lin was with Jack just now.

Jack's average pace has already been memorized.

The distance from here to the garbage room is one round trip.

Simple calculation, and assuming that Jack will speed up...

There is about 412 seconds of solid time!
