Unknowingly turned around ten times under the tree, but still found nothing, Xu Mo couldn't help but feel half discouraged.
If this continues, won't this time and space become an unsolvable puzzle, trapping myself here forever? Thinking of this, Xu Mo hurriedly shook his head, cheered up and continued to look for a breakthrough.
This huge human face tree is the most special existence seen in the entire forest area, and Xu Mo intuitively believes that this breakthrough must be related to it...
Since looking around is fruitless, how about climbing up to have a look? Xu Mo looked around, finally raised his head, and fixed his eyes on the densely stacked branches and leaves, which seemed so deep and bottomless.
As soon as the idea was settled, Xu Mo immediately took action—trying to avoid the faces of people on the tree trunk, and began to climb up with ingenuity. As a cat clan, he has always maintained the characteristics of lightness and agility. Naturally, climbing trees is not difficult for him. With his arms and legs open, it didn't take much effort. He climbed up the branch a few meters away, and then jumped into the dense leaves middle.
Drilling into the crown of the tree composed of branches and leaves, Xu Mo discovered that this place is like a new time and space—
Originally, the space that was tightly covered by thick leaves should be pitch black, but there are blossoming "guiding cherry blossoms" flowers in it, which only emit pink and gray halos of two different colors, illuminating the space. The branches are intertwined and combined into various strange geometric shapes, and it looks like it has a sense of technology...
Those glowing flowers quickly attracted Xu Mo's attention. After all, they were exactly the same shape as the cherry blossoms with "memory fragments" seen in the cherry blossom snow field, but the light color was different. It's easy to guess, could these flowers provide hints on what to do next
Xu Mo is a man of action, once he thinks about it, he will definitely implement it. So, he quickly climbed up to a cherry blossom with a pink halo, and touched the stamen with his fingers—

The sky was pitch black, with no stars to be seen, and the air was stuffy and humid. One or two people who occasionally passed by in front of them were in a hurry. None of them looked down, and it seemed that there were signs of rain. Looking down, he was wearing a dirty yellow dress, with blond hair hanging down on both sides. He didn't need to look through the glass window on one side, but he knew that he seemed to be possessed by Nolan, and he was using her perspective...
This was when Nolan was ten years old? ... Xu Mo is a little uncertain, after all, what happened more than eight years ago has gradually begun to blur.
The little girl must have sat on the steps and waited for a long time, but the person she was waiting for hadn't come out. She twisted her left and right index fingers interlacedly, then stood up, turned around and pushed open a blue-gray door.
Twelve-year-old Xu Mo suddenly appeared in front of him, scratching his head and apologizing to the owner of the restaurant—
"I'm sorry, I'm three minutes late today, I won't do it next time, please don't deduct money from me..."
"Tell me about you. If you didn't pity you for picking up rubbish outside, you wouldn't be able to give you this opportunity to make money. I agreed to come over on time at 4 pm every day to take over. I've been late three times this month. Do you still want to do it? You At this age, it is illegal to hire you, do you know how much risk I have taken?… "
"Yes, it's my fault, as long as the boss doesn't withhold money from me, he can scold you any way you want!" Xu Mo scratched his head again, showing a sorry boyish smile.
"Brother..." Nolan suddenly uttered a call, perhaps seeing the scene where his brother was being scolded, he couldn't hold back his voice.
"Nolan? You wait outside for another minute for brother, and brother will come out soon!" Twelve-year-old Xu Mo then gestured "Everything is OK".
Nolan obviously hesitated, and the owner of the restaurant who stood facing the young man Xumo couldn't help but sigh heavily: "Okay, okay, I won't deduct your wages today, hurry up and take your sister home to sleep!"
"Thank you boss! I won't do it next time!"
Twelve-year-old Xu Mo laughed happily, and was about to run towards his sister, but was stopped by the boss.
"Take it." The boss stuffed a bag of leftover bread into his arms, "At least let the little girl be full."
"thank you boss!"
Twelve-year-old Xu Mo took the young Nolan's hand out of the restaurant door, and the two impatiently walked to the corner of the steps and opened the bag containing the bread.
"Hurry up and eat." He stuffed the bread into his younger sister's little hand, "Dinner has been delayed until now, it's my brother's fault, is he starving?"
"Brother won't you eat?" the little girl asked while gobbling.
"Brother is not hungry, wait until you are full." Twelve-year-old Xumo replied with a smile, and then promised, "I will definitely work hard to earn money so that you can live a good life in the future, I will!"
At this time, the little girl had already swallowed the first bite of bread, looked at the boy, and said, "Nolan also promises that he will earn a lot of money in the future, so that my brother will never be scolded again!"
The boy smiled knowingly, and couldn't help but reach out and rub the little girl's fluffy blond hair...
As his vision blurred, his consciousness returned to the canopy of the giant tree with human faces.

It turns out that this pink flower is a fragment of Nolan's memory... Xu Mo thought for a while, then moved his eyes to the flower emitting a gray halo, and asked himself—then... are these also hers
These gray flowers can't help being different from pink in luminous color, and even their shape is quite different - pink is a blooming posture, while gray is in the shape of a closed petal, which seems to hide an unsightly secret…
