(For Silver Alliance, random update cannot be used, completion progress 59/100.)
Bai Wu sorted out the clues he had obtained and quickly asked some questions:
"The person who escaped from the farm... There are three Ks? This doesn't seem to match the information I got."
"Ah... It seems that you have encountered some powerful opponents. How about it? Are you sure you can defeat them?" The first generation's focus is always strange.
Bai Wu said:
"I'm not sure. Even if the weakest one is a waste, I'm still no match for him. But in the few times we've fought, I've always won."
"A righteous man has many supporters, while an unrighteous man has few. You are better than me."
How can you defeat an enemy that you can't defeat? Of course, you have to cling to someone powerful, and the first generation saw through this keenly.
Because Bai Yuan did the same before. When he encountered an enemy, he hid behind the first generation and cheered them on with a clear conscience.
The first generation smiled and said:
"Regarding the question you just raised, it involves the secret of dried fish and Lao Bai's scam. Although I know the details, everyone has their own secrets. Let the person involved tell you."
It seems that Xiao Yugan is a very special existence. Although his abilities are not as good as Bai Yuan, it seems that his potential is higher than Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan is already a very powerful being in the spiritual realm. Although Bai Wu has never really seen it...
But when he faced Zhong Xu, he was attacked by the nine-tailed fox; when he faced the Lake God, he and Hong Yin planned in the other world; when he faced Jing Wu, he arranged the fusion between himself and Zero...
Finally, when we went to the sixth floor of the tower and passed through the bloody path, Bai Yuan was also in charge.
Judging from these aspects, in the spiritual realm, Bai Yuan is as powerful as a god.
Maybe beyond the Tic Tac Toe level. Although physically... he's pretty weak, can only play with needles and stuff.
It is hard to imagine that there is someone more powerful than Bai Yuan, who just fails to fully utilize his abilities.
However, the first generation in the memory world is the first generation seven hundred years ago. But the dried fish in the memory world is the dried fish in the real world.
Because Xiao Yugan is an "outsider" like herself, and she is also the pioneer of this world.
Seven hundred years later, no one knows to what extent Dong Yugan's abilities, or the application of his abilities, have grown.
Bai Wu said:
"So where is she most likely hiding?"
The world of memory is so vast, countless individuals are countless worlds, and one person has a complex network of relationships...
And we have to consider that different eras have different memories, so the multidimensionality of this world is too complicated, much more complicated than the real world outside.
How could we find this Ms. Dong without a means to narrow the scope
The first generation recalled and said seriously:
"If I had known she would leave, I should have asked her where she was going. But she lost contact with me. However, the most likely place is the Ark."
I am looking for the ark in the ark
Is it possible that there is another memory world within the memory world
Doesn't it feel like there is a picture of a person on the cover of a book, and that person is holding the book in his hand, and there is also a picture of a person on the cover of the book, also holding the book... an infinite loop.
No... I can't find this person at all.
So later on, Jingsan failed in his search for dried fish. It wasn’t because Jingsan couldn’t find dried fish, but because he had searched for it too many times and forgot what he was trying to do.
So the same thing happened to the invader that Wen Hao mentioned later.
This place is just as Bai Yuan had originally imagined. Once you enter, you can't leave. Once you leave, you become a different person, a person with human thinking and human memory.
Thinking of this, Bai Wu did not dare to enter a certain door rashly. You think that entering a door is very close to the truth, but in fact, there are countless doors behind it.
This is the same as Bing Duoduo's routine, telling you that as long as you win one more dollar, you can withdraw 500 yuan in cash.
Then you need to bring in a customer in exchange for a chance to draw a lottery. You win ten cents each time, but when you draw for the ninth time, the ten cents becomes a gold coin. You need to collect ten gold coins to redeem the ten cents.
So you pulled ten more people, but when you drew the last one, the gold coins turned into points, and you were told that ten points would be exchanged for one gold coin...
Over and over again, endlessly...
The same was true for this maze. Bai Wu was very glad that he chose a method of waiting for the opportunity and directly met the first generation.
So Bai Wu quickly thought about whether he could do it again
Since I am the son of your ex-lover, you should come to me as long as you notice me, right
"Is there any way to get her to come see us?"
"Unless you let Walter White appear in this world, but that's unlikely."
The first generation said with a tone that it must be so.
Bai Wu thought about it...it might not be impossible.
But in front of the old first generation, Bai Wu couldn't do this. It seemed that he had to say goodbye.
There are many things to say and many things to learn, but as the first generation said...
Don't focus on the past, look to the future.
"I have finished asking all the questions I wanted to ask. We will meet here at this time tomorrow. But next, I need to take care of something."
The first generation stood up, and Bai Wu also stood up.
"I thought you had a lot of questions?"
"Yes, I want to know how powerful the enemy you are facing is, and what you have discovered... I want to know the origin of this distortion, and what the person who gave you the power said."
"I could tell you everything. But then..."
"If that happens, I will fall into the same dilemma as you. I will be obsessed with the past and think that tracing back to the origin will solve the problem at the source, but in the end I will find that there are origins within the origins... It's like a book with a person on the cover, and that person is holding the book in his hand... It's endless."
The first generation was stunned.
Bai Wu continued:
"Then I realized... the past is the past. There is no way back from the past. The future is the only way out. But it's too late now."
These words are also an inspiration to the first generation, because he is a person who travels back in time.
Later, Lin Rui was also like this. When he fell asleep, he would return to the past...
Lin Rui and the first generation both like to reverse cause and effect in the past, but they find that no matter what they do, they cannot change the future.
The first generation said:
"It's really great that you have such awareness. Let's let those of our era belong to this era forever."
Bai Wu nodded and said goodbye to the first generation. Before parting, he said:
"If I don't show up here tomorrow, it means I have completed my mission and you don't have to wait for me."
"Got it. Go ahead. I don't know what you're looking for dried fish for, but I wish you good luck."
The first generation waved goodbye.
Bai Wu also didn't know when he would see Lin Rui next time.
I thought about Lin Rui's fate, what he did later, and I also thought that there was no need to save this world. This was just a memory.
He couldn't help it:
"Maybe Bai Yuan is right. Why do you have to be a hero? Why do you have to save the world? Lao K, you must be able to leave and get out of this, right? You must be able to go to a place where Jing Yi can't find you, right?"
Bai Wu's tone was actually a little excited, but the first generation just shrugged, then patted Bai Wu on the shoulder and said:
"Why do we have to save the world? That's a good question."
The first generation began to talk about their original intentions:
"The children on the farm are all very happy. If we hadn't discovered some secrets, we would probably have been deceived by Jingyi, happy for more than ten years, and then suffering for only a moment."
"But in the end, Walter and I found out the truth. When I thought about the countless happy people out there who were living in a distorted world, I couldn't convince myself not to save them."
"I am different from Walter White. Walter White has no heart, but I do."
When the first generation said this, Bai Wu felt that the moonlight became brighter.
The clouds drifted away, and the bright moon disappeared, and the light in the room became a little brighter.
Maybe it’s because of the moonlight, maybe it’s because of... the invisible existence next to the white fog.
Bai Yuan was looking at the first generation with a smile and no guilt.
Bai Wu was very surprised. Why did he come out at this time and not before? He thought that Bai Yuan did not come out before because he had a premonition that he would meet someone he was afraid to face.
But looking at Bai Yuan's playful face that made him want to kick him a few times, Bai Wu was sure that this person did not have the human ability of empathy.
At least he had never seen Bai Yuan angry.
"As for whether or not to stop trying to change something since nothing can be changed anyway, I have never considered it. If I back down at this moment because of what you said, wouldn't your future be even more difficult? I always believe that what I do will bear fruit."
"Even if I can't see the results, you and your friends will be able to see them for me many years later."
Seven hundred years ago, on the streets of Food City, Bai Wu also put his hand on Lin Rui's shoulder, conveying his will to Lin Rui.
In this world of memory, everything seems to be turned upside down.
Bai Wu could feel the determination of the first generation.
He nodded without saying anything, not knowing what to say.
After a long time, the first generation left.
Bai Wu also left without speaking to Bai Yuan.
He walked along the seaside road in the food city, thinking about some issues as he walked.
Bai Yuan appeared nearby, leisurely admiring the street scene from seven hundred years ago.
The father and son walked for a long time, passing many passers-by with "doors" and many buildings with flashing lights. Bai Wu finally spoke:
"Aren't you ashamed to hear your former friend say 'You have no heart'?"
Bai Yuan felt a little bored:
“Don’t ask this kind of question anymore. A friend is what you think he is, or what he thinks he is.
"I am nice to someone because of interest, and I am not nice to someone because of interest. But no matter what, what does it have to do with me whether he is nice to me or not?"
"Dried fish too?" Bai Wu's eyes were a little cold.
Bai Yuan was still smiling like that, as if the world was beautiful, his life was happy, and everything made him feel comfortable.
"Of course, what difference can she make? She is only useful to me."
"To complete this memory world, I need her strength. She is too introverted and it is difficult for her to leave the farm. I can't bear to leave those stupid children, so I have to have absolute say in her world."
"Let her become dependent on you?"
"If I have to leave the farm, even if it makes her hate me deeply, I don't mind, but if that happens, the subsequent plans cannot be implemented. After comprehensive consideration, I chose the former."
The scumbag has a good reason.
Bai Wu said:
"Maybe she really has been waiting for you for seven hundred years."
"Oh, but I'm dead. I didn't expect you to pick up the fragments of the full moon and become obsessed with me. Why would a dead person care so much?"
Bai Yuan's tone remained calm throughout, without any unnaturalness.
Bai Wu knew that this person might be telling the truth. He really had no guilt.
"If the first generation knew your true thoughts... they would be ashamed to be friends with you."
"No, no, no, you don't understand Old K. Old K is the kind of person who wants to love the world even if the world doesn't love him. I don't value him, but he values me."
Bai Yuan's tone was a little mocking:
"This person is really strange. It seems that just because I experienced something with him, I could become his friend unilaterally."
"Shut up!" Bai Wu shouted.
"Angry? Well... not angry. Although you are slowly regaining your anger, it is still difficult to control this emotion."
"I see. You think I'm annoying, but you're the one who keeps asking me to come out, right? I'm helping you."
Bai Yuan shrugged, looking quite helpless.
Bai Wu suddenly realized that he might be fundamentally wrong. He thought that this person did not appear in front of him because he was afraid to face him.
But this person is Bai Yuan, a man who dares to commit atrocities in front of his son and who can deceive a little girl in order to achieve his own goals.
What would you be afraid of facing such a person
It's just that I feel bored.
"So what are you doing out here?"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so cold. I really don't care much about them, but at least for you, I helped a lot."
"help me?"
"You will also have memories in the memory world, memories you have, or experiences you have. And these experiences will help her come to you. When she finds out that you are talking to me, she will definitely come to you."
Bai Yuan stopped, feeling the sea breeze from afar, looking contented:
"She may be here soon. This world is actually equivalent to the world she built. Isn't it amazingly huge? Although it contains the memories of countless people, she can cross doors in an instant."
"In a sense, her mental power can indeed carry a world. Do you want to know my advice?"
"What suggestions?" Bai Wu had a feeling that this was probably not a good suggestion.
Sure enough, Bai Yuan said something that disgusted him.
"Don't really sympathize with her, but pretend to sympathize with her. Make good use of your identity as my son and let her tell you all the information you want to know. You can even tell her that I have my own difficulties. Although she is autistic, she will easily believe you."
"Hmm... probably just like what you do to those evil people. Yes, just treat her as an evil person who can be deceived."
Bai Yuan said these words as if it were a matter of course.
Bai Wu stopped and looked at Bai Yuan seriously:
"I am now convinced that you really have no heart. But I am curious, why did you agree to help build the Ark?"
"Well, since I'm already dead, I'll tell you the truth."
"For me, the Ark's memory world is a second choice. If I can't live in another world, then the memory world is a good safe haven. Here I can experience many lives and live different lives in many memories."
"Of course, if I want Old K to help me, to help me resist the forces from the Well when I complete the memory world, I need a lofty reason. A reason that he will find pessimistic, but necessary."
Bai Wu sneered:
"The reason is that humans are bound to fail. You are pessimistic. Why not preserve the memory of humans?"
"Bingo~ You got it right. He is such a person with a strong sense of justice. If he thinks what I say makes sense, he will do his best to protect me."
"Let me think about it. It's probably like what that little dwarf did to you."
"Of course, I'm different from you. I won't give my heart to you. I suggest you don't give your heart to me either. After all, heroic people don't live long."
Bai Wu looked at Bai Yuan and asked a soul-searching question:
“Is there anything in this world that you really care about?”
But a person without a heart will never be tortured. Bai Yuan said:
"I care about my own happiness, my lovely child. Everything in the world, including you, is just a prop to make me happy. Of course, my expectations of you are a little higher."
An answer that fits Bai Yuan very well.
However, when Bai Wu was about to speak up for Chudai and Xiao Yugan, Bai Yuan disappeared.
And the scene in this memory world... is undergoing earth-shaking changes.
The street lights instantly turned into stone pillars, the night sky turned into a cloudless blue, and some timeless yellow sand floated in the place where there were once streets... but now there are only rocks.
When the sea breeze blows, the world changes unexpectedly.
The doors that originally only appeared above the memory's head... appeared one after another in a vortex shape around it.
In this strange... space filled with yellow sand and building ruins, there is a huge cruise ship.
Bai Wu knew what this meant.
He felt helpless. He would rather solve the puzzles and find the dried fish on his own.
But just as Bai Yuan said, when Bai Yuan appears, Xiao Yugan will definitely come over.
