Bai Wu was quietly waiting for Xiao Yugan to wake up and thinking about many questions. At this time, Bai Yuan appeared again.
He stood aside, clapping his hands, with an expression that seemed encouraging but also teasing, and said a famous line from Frostpunk.
"It took so much effort to save him, but was it all worth it?"
"My anger towards you has not subsided. You'd better be careful with your words. Obsession is not something that cannot be changed."
"Then you are really a filial son, hahahaha..." Bai Yuan laughed happily.
Bai Wu looked at Bai Yuan with disgust.
Bai Yuan shrugged:
"Okay, okay, in order to redeem my image as a loving father, you can ask a few questions before afternoon tea arrives."
Bai Wu did not refuse:
"The dried fish is a split body? You'd better tell me now."
"Yes. This cruise ship is, and so is another cruise ship, but the other cruise ship is not as lucky as this one."
"Lucky? Do you mean Wen Hao or Jing San?" Bai Wu noticed the key point.
"Both. Although Wenhao was weak at first, he later mastered powerful strength and is now a capable villain. As for Jingsan, he is the fundamental reason why the ship was not destroyed directly by the hunters."
Bai Wu understood.
The hunter wants to find Jingsan's memory and kill Xiaoyugan.
But before killing Xiao Yugan, the hunter did not know how powerful Xiao Yugan was. If it were not for Jing San entering the memory world, the hunter would not have entered here.
After entering, I realized that Xiao Yugan was not a small character. So the memory world can be destroyed from the outside... This may be difficult to do.
But the hunter did it. Bai Wu continued to ask:
"Do you know the hunter?"
"I know a little bit about it. I've heard of it before. It's a mysterious ancient organization, but I don't know if it has many people... or just one person."
"Ancient? Are you sure you want to use that word?"
Bai Yuan smiled and said:
“The time when distortion comes is much later than the time when distortion is born, so don’t confuse them.
Before this, the two origin levels had already been restraining each other. However, as more and more people appeared, their desires grew, and their emotions became more and more extreme, it became an opportunity for the well to appear.
Hence, the tower was built, and hence, the end of the world is here."
After Bai Yuan finished speaking, Bai Wu thought about it and found that it was similar to what he had inferred.
Distortion would be born earlier, perhaps ridiculously earlier. But from what Bai Yuan said, it seems that distortion itself is linked to many spiritual aspects of human beings.
This reminded him of the Lake God, a powerful monster that should not have existed but came to the world due to distortion, created by people's superstition, resentment, and various spiritual things.
But whether it was the distortion that created the spiritual monster, or these things from the human spiritual level that created the distortion, judging from Bai Yuan’s words, it seems that it remains to be explored.
Bai Yuan said again:
"It's just that this mysterious ancient organization was almost destroyed later. As for who destroyed it, you should be able to guess. Of course, it was not an absolute annihilation, but a certain kind of suppression."
"Is this also the reason why he is not very active outside? At least this person did not attract my attention before." Bai Wu asked.
Bai Yuan said:
"I don't know how many Dharma bodies he has, but these Dharma bodies all have certain restrictions. However, what is certain is that if one dies in your hands, the next one will definitely become active."
"You said someone destroyed this organization? Was it Jingyi?"
Bai Wu guessed it, but was also a little surprised.
"Yes, he is a respectable opponent, but also a very troublesome opponent. Although I have cheated him more times than he has cheated me, who can blame me and Lao K for not being able to beat him together?"
Bai Yuan's expression did not change, and he seemed to just find it interesting to mention such a powerful figure.
"The enemy that really made you want to give up and had no chance of winning was Jingyi?"
"It's not time for you to know yet." Bai Yuan did not answer the question.
But it also indirectly let Bai Wu know that it was not Jing Yi.
Bai Wu said:
"It seems that every step I take is in the established thread."
“Not really. There were a few times when you jumped out of the chessboard.”
"It was like this on the sixth floor, and it was also like this when facing the Heart of Jing Si. I said that the most dangerous challenge you have ever experienced was that scene. In fact, my appearance was not part of my plan."
“But if you want to be a chess player, you have to make more interesting choices.”
Bai Yuan said this quite seriously, as if it was a kind of agreement, but for Bai Yuan, the greatest significance of some of Bai Wu's choices is to make the story interesting.
The essence of the game is to allow players to make interesting choices.
What he enjoys more is watching players make choices.
Bai Yuan said:
"And the fact that you can survive in Baichuan City is the same. Although the overall situation has not deviated from the chessboard, you are gradually making this drama more interesting. I am looking forward to the day when you can go to a place I have never imagined. This possibility only exists in you.
Of course, I am also looking forward to the bad ending. Think about whether you will be torn apart by Jing Si or Jing Yi, and the human race will eventually perish, and the monster in the tower will appear. It seems to be a very interesting ending. "
Bai Wu thought that Bai Yuan would probably talk about the issue of procreation next. Sure enough, Bai Yuan said:
"So you can consider leaving a seed before you die, so as not to completely interrupt this game. But the girls you know are too mediocre."
Bai Wu was definitely not interested in talking in this direction:
"Which side does the Stalker belong to?"
"Which side? You shouldn't ask that. You should ask what their purpose is."
Bai Wu didn't say anything, but just glanced at Bai Yuan. Bai Yuan said consciously:
"Recycle distortion. Anyone with the power of distortion will be recycled. Don't underestimate the Myriad Dharmakaya, this is a very interesting ability.
You should be aware that the abilities of Heart Demon Parasite, Dimension Reversal, and Rule Seal are all very powerful, as is the Myriad Dharmakaya. The awakening of the first ten sequences requires specific conditions, which you will have to figure out on your own in the future."
After a brief pause, Bai Yuan said:
"The owner of the Myriad Dharmakaya also exists outside. What is his relationship with the hunter in the memory world? Are they the same person? Has he entered the tower? You need to investigate. After all, there are some things I don't know."
"By the way, I should go now, and you should be calm now. I look forward to your next performance."
Bai Yuan wanted to leave as he spoke, Bai Wu said:
"Where are the dried fish?"
"In a place far away that you cannot reach~"
Bai Yuan disappeared.
Bai Wu got what he wanted, and his disgust towards Bai Yuan deepened.
If this person put away his mentality of playing with the world and fully cooperated with the first generation, perhaps everything would be different.
It’s like this person always gives some answers but never goes into details.
Bai Wu originally wanted to ask what the several powers he possessed were.
But Bai Yuan had already left, and even if Bai Yuan appeared, even if I kept asking questions to get information this time, the initiative of the topic was in Bai Yuan's hands.
Like most of the explorations so far, it seems to be following some kind of cause and effect.
But Bai Wu was not anxious about this, he was very open-minded.
Bai Yuan is a game player from an earlier era. In the mixed chessboard of Jing Yi, Jing Liu, Bai Yuan, the creator of the tower, and the source of distortion, Bai Wu is very clear about his position and trajectory. He is just waiting for an opportunity to deviate from the trajectory.
Bai Yuan was also waiting, and really wanted to know what Bai Wu's final choice would be.
…
…
After several hours, Xiao Yugan woke up.
The world that had been distorted and collapsed due to the battle between the white fog and the hunters has now recovered 60% of its appearance.
When Xiao Yugan opened his eyes and sat up, Bai Wu smiled.
Regardless of whether Bai Yuan really didn't care about the dried fish in the end, or was using some kind of provocation to provoke her, in Bai Wu's opinion, he had protected this poor woman.
"The stalker is dead, you don't need to look around."
Just like countless times when she woke up from a dream, or countless times when she was still in a dream, she would always look around uneasily to gain a brief sense of peace of mind.
Listening to Bai Wu's words, Xiao Yugan said:
"You are hurt."
"It's not a big deal, how are you?"
"I'm fine... I was fine, but I'm fine now." Xiao Yugan looked at himself and finally made sure that he was fine.
She still remembered that before she fell into a coma, white mist suddenly appeared from the vortex and saved her:
"Thank you, Bai Wu. I... I thought you wouldn't come back, but I wanted you to come back, and you really came back."
Xiao Yugan lowered his head and looked at the white fog with his face slightly tilted.
"I told you, I won't lie to you." Bai Wu smiled.
It was a very strange feeling, and Bai Wu also felt this way when the sad emotion was triggered.
Even though they had only known each other for a short time, he was unwilling to deceive this woman, even though she had great "deception value".
"The source of the distortion has been eradicated, and the hunters have also been eradicated. This place is protected by the evil in the Ark. You will be safer here. You don't have to worry about it anymore."
"Oh, I'm not afraid..."
When Xiao Yugan subconsciously wanted to say something contradictory, he covered his mouth, and his pale and weak expression revealed a hint of pride.
As if she was really not afraid.
"Really?" Bai Wu asked with a smile.
"Scared, ah!"
Xiao Yugan reacted and told the truth as soon as she opened her mouth. She was indeed scared, and she wanted to act like a mature person like Lao K and Bai Yuan in front of Bai Wu... but she really couldn't do it.
Fortunately, at that time, the dried fish was used to create an image of "I am very mature" in front of the son of his "enemy".
There is no need to be afraid now. I have someone to protect me anyway.
Thinking of this, she laughed again:
"Aren't you afraid?"
"I don't have that ability yet. But I might get scared in the future."
"So pitiful, so envious... No, so pitiful."
In fact, Xiao Yu Gan didn’t know where the logic behind this pitiful sentence came from, but he just felt that it was a bit pitiful for Bai Wu to say this.
Bai Wu was amused. Who was pitying whom here
"I should go now, Xiao Yu Gan. My friends are waiting for me outside."
"I don't want you to leave... Forget it, go ahead, will you come back?"
"Of course, I won't let you wait too long. Can you promise me one thing?" Bai Wu said.
"What's up?"
"Go make some more friends. The next time I see you, I hope to meet some interesting, normal people before the distortion came. Can you do it? This is very important to me. Write a few observation reports on getting along with the memories."
“Why does it matter?”
"All you need to know is that this is important, and it will go a long way toward saving the world."
"Oh... I don't understand. I understand, I understand, I understand!" Xiao Yugan decided to say the important thing three times, but subconsciously wanted to "balance" it out, so he said it three times but still couldn't understand.
Of course she still didn't understand.
After all, Bai Wu was just making it up.
He just hoped that his departure would make this woman feel less lonely.
The world of memory is a very good place. If it were Bai Wu himself, he would probably be happy to live in a world where Zheng Yue is a taxi driver and the captain and the boss's wife are neighbors.
Of course, some key factors cannot be distorted, except that Cain was an honest man.
"Then when will you come to see me?" Xiao Yugan said.
"Because there are many things to do outside, I can only take time to come and see you. When I finish everything outside, I will take you away from here."
"Really? But I really want to wait here for them to come back..."
"When the time comes, we can go find them together."
They, of course, refer to Bai Yuan and Lao K. Even though they have long realized that these two will not come back, they still feel that they will come back.
Because time is infinitely long, this scene may happen in the future. This unreasonable optimism is probably one of her pillars of support.
Xiao Yugan thought about it for a long time before nodding and saying:
"I want to find them too. They kept me waiting for a long time. If they occasionally disobeyed me, you can't blame me, right?"
Bai Wu said in agreement:
"Blame them."
"Yes, blame them."
Almost done, everything has been explained, Bai Wu said:
"Goodbye, dried fish."
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
The dried fish opened a vortex, entered it, and disappeared.
Bai Wu stood there, not knowing what was going on, but soon Xiao Yugan came back, with a piece of debris in his hand.
"This is what Jing San left behind."
Before the note popped up, Bai Wu looked at the fragment with a picture of a carriage printed on it and guessed that it was a piece of the doomsday puzzle.
But why are the pieces of the Doomsday puzzle falling
"Memory?"
"No, it's Jing San."
Bai Wu looked at the fragment and a note quickly popped up:
Following the sacrifice, full moon, and red spider lily, you get another fragment - the Jade Chariot. The power of this fragment is very short-lived, and it is a fragment with a number of uses. It has two remaining times, and a single use lasts for one hour.
And its ability is also very interesting. It allows you to not be restricted by the cause and effect of the whole world. In other words, for the duration of the time, you will no longer have any cause and effect with anything.
Everyone will suddenly forget you. You can briefly reset all causes and effects.
Bai Wu took the fragment and was very surprised why Jing San's fragment fell.
Because normally speaking, if Jing San didn't die, the fragments shouldn't fall.
Judging from the information provided by Bai Yuan and others, Jing San is indeed still alive.
"That's very strange. This fragment is also very strange..."
"What's so strange about that?" Xiao Yugan asked.
"Do you remember where this fragment came from?"
"I don't know, I just sensed it."
Xiao Yu Gan obviously didn't know the situation either, Bai Wu was just guessing... Could it be that this kind of memory "purification" was also recognized as a "kill" by the rules
Bai Wu had no idea about this question, and his attention gradually shifted to the abilities of the fragments.
"It temporarily cuts off the cause and effect of all things... It's a very strange ability, not as intuitive as the previous fragments, but it seems... it can play a very important role in the future."
Bai Wu didn't think for too long. After thanking Xiao Yugan, he prepared to leave.
Xiao Yugan opened the vortex and sent the white mist back.
Watching the white mist disappear little by little, she wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. Eventually, these conflicting emotions disappeared because of the comfort of the white mist.
"Remember what I said? I'll come to see you, and you'll get to know some interesting memories."
She smiled:
"remembered."
The journey to the Memory Museum has come to a temporary end.
Bai Wu still has a long way to go in his exploration. Just after he left the memory world and appeared outside the Ark's restricted area, Bai Wu received a message from Zero, which instantly pulled Bai Wu back from the previous scene to the battlefield of the confrontation farm.
"The Queen of Clubs' mechanical deus ex machina has begun. He is creating fear little by little. I need you to go to a place to complete the real deus ex machina."
