"Key?" Ning Gu was a little shocked, "When is this? Didn't I just say that?"
"EXIT is..." Lian Chuan said, "Exit, have you seen this sign somewhere in the main city, many places will have this sign."
"I haven't noticed it," Ning Gu said, "I can't read it even if I see it."
"When did you say that?" Lian Chuan looked at the light in front of him and approached them a little bit. The picture became bigger and clearer, and he could already see the picture like a window was opened What Lining Valley looks like.
"In that 'last second'." Ning Gu said.
"There's no time," Lian Chuan said, "It's true."
"Just now was not the end," Ning Gu said, "it was the beginning, is that what you mean?"
"Yes," Lian Chuan said, "every generation of 'Ninggu' who appeared outside the administrator's door is you, from now on."
"Is this a circle?" Ning Gu said, "A revolving lantern?"
Lian Chuan didn't speak, and looked at more and more lights in front of him, and he couldn't count how many lights there were. If he didn't guess wrong, there was a memory in each light.
They are traveling through Yehee's galaxy of memories.
Countless memories, like a huge revolving lantern, kept rushing towards them and passing by, but there was no sequence, no cause and effect.
Ning Gu stretched out his hand and touched the "window" closest to them.
The light in the window seemed to be pierced by water drops, and suddenly spread out in all directions, covering them in an instant.
It was a room with almost no colors other than white.
The door is closed, and a window is open. Outside the window is green, tall trees that grow from the downstairs to the height of the third floor.
After Ning Gu came back to his senses, he walked to the window: "What's the sound?"
"What animal is calling." Lian Chuan also walked over.
"The birds chirping so loudly this morning, they seem to be very happy." A voice sounded behind him, with a touch of joy.
The two quickly turned their heads, and there was an extra bed in the room, and there was a person sitting on the bed.
It's Ye Xi.
He was looking out the window with his head tilted.
"I don't want to hear it." Ye Xi's voice was completely cold when he spoke again.
"You scared him away." Ye Xi continued talking without seeming to see Lian Chuan and Ning Gu.
"He wanted to hide too," Ye Xi seemed to be talking to himself, "He hasn't come out for a long time."
"They are coming today, the new program has not been tested yet, but the results should be similar..."
"I'll deal with them."
The door of the room was pushed open, and three people walked in. The front one was a very beautiful young woman with a kind smile on her face, followed by two men with serious faces.
"Good morning, Ye Xi," said the woman.
Ye Xi didn't turn her head, she still looked out of the window, but it was not the same as at the beginning.
"How did you sleep?" The woman smiled, walked around to the foot of the bed, and looked at Ye Xi.
"Let's go." Ye Xi said.
"Is Ye Xi not there?" the woman asked.
"He won't see you again," Ye Xi turned his head and looked at her, "don't be so hypocritical with me."
The woman's smile was still on her face, and it took several seconds for it to slowly disappear.
"Well, there will be results within a week. There is no time. Except for this area, everything is out of control, mutations, and fires. Ye Xi can sleep here peacefully, looking at the trees outside, listening to the birds, yes Countless people bought it with their lives, Ye Xi, you have to give everyone an explanation," she tilted her head at the man who followed, "Take him away."
"How can I explain what I can't do?" Ye Xi said, "He has never left here in his life, who are his parents, where did he come from, what does the ice cream taste like, what does it feel like to step on a skateboard, how big is the world? ...One sentence of genius erases a person's existence, and you should give him an explanation."
"Every era has a price," the woman said, "We are unfortunately born in this era that is about to disappear, and we are all the price of this era. I also want to know what you asked, but I am willing to accept the reality. Thinking that I was erased, I just existed in another way."
"That's right," Ye Xi turned to look at her, "You will always exist in another way."
The woman looked at him for a while: "During the program test, please rest first."
"The test doesn't need him," Ye Xi got off the bed and passed between the two men, "You three will exist in another way, a great price."
Everyone in the room walked out.
When Lian Chuan pulled Ning Gu to follow him out, the room disappeared.
They returned to the darkness, to the galaxy of memories, surrounded by lights that kept coming and passing by.
"The administrator is probably not a colleague." Lian Chuan said.
"What is that?" Ning Gu asked, "I also feel..."
"At least Xiaohong should be the same as Ye Xi," Lian Chuan said, "a genius."
"Xiaohong?" Ning Gu was taken aback.
"I named the female administrator," Lian Chuan said, "The other two are Xiaolu and Xiaolan, so it's easy to remember."
"... What a soil." Ning Gu said.
"It's about the same as a small trumpet." Lian Chuan said.
"How is it possible?" Ning Gu was shocked, "How cute the little trumpet is!"
Lian Chuan didn't speak.
"There are three Ye Xi," Ning Gu thought for a while and asked again, "Is that right?"
"The Ye Xi I saw in the room where I couldn't get in and out was the real Ye Xi," Lian Chuan said, "The one I saw just now was Ye Xi who killed three administrators and took out his brain, and the other one, It should be Ye Xi who wrote the ending of the destruction of the main city."
"The one who showed us around wrote the ending?" Ning Gu asked.
"It should be," Lian Chuan said, "but what he said was that only the hospital and the park area were blocked. In fact, it should be the exact opposite..."
"The outside world has been destroyed," Ning Gu said, "Only that one area remains. One or two or a group of geniuses, maybe forced or voluntary, are making a final effort to save the world."
"Ye Xi has never left that area in his life." Ning Gu said.
"I want to see the administrator." A swaying "window" bumped towards the two of them, and Ning Gu heard his own voice again.
He stood in front of the administrator's door in his uniform.
"Key."
"EXIT."
"How on earth did I know this word?" Ning Gu looked at the back that was exactly like himself standing in front of the door.
"Probably..." Lian Chuan said, "I taught it."
The door opened, and the two followed this "Ning Gu" into the administrator's reception room.
There was no one in the reception room, and no brains.
"Ning Gu" stood in the empty room.
"Backup," he said, "for the next generation of the main city."
"Start backup," Xiaohong's voice sounded, "The data is seriously damaged."
"As many as there are, I hope someone can find a way," he said, "the main city system cannot clear the records about 'me', the system will 'cultivate' in a targeted manner, if there is no place to hide, there is no A proper BUG, I will never be able to jump out of this ending."
"This cannot be controlled by humans." Xiaohong replied.
"There will be."
"I always thought that those portraits on the wall," Ning Gu was in a daze again when he returned to the darkness, "it's not me, it's just a... You said, Ye Xi's projection."
"They are all you." Lian Chuan said, "Not just those four, there are countless others. You have to survive every main city, and you did it."
"Lian Chuan!" Ning Gu suddenly became a little nervous, and grabbed his hand tightly, "Are you going to confuse me with them?"
"No," Lian Chuan said, "I probably won't have the chance to know them either."
"Why?" Ning Gu asked, "I will appear in every main city, if..."
"These memories, these fragments of the main city, have no causal relationship, no one comes first," Lian Chuan said, "You are just you, you may be the beginning of everything, or the end of everything, but these events do not will affect each other."
"I don't understand," Ning Gu waved his hand, "Just say you only know me."
"I can only know you," Lian Chuan said, "I am the suitable 'BUG', only for you, 'Ninggu'."
"You are a real existence, not accidental, not a bug, you are inevitable in my clip." Ning Gu said, "We must go back,"
"En." Lian Chuan responded.
"Is that the hole!" Ning Gu suddenly pointed to a piece of light on the right.
"Yes." Lian Chuan saw at a glance the bookshelves and tables he had seen before, as well as the notebook on the table, and the notebook that Ning Gu tore off a corner of.
"I want to see!" Ning Gu stretched out his hand, "You don't need to look at anything else, Nine Wings must know what's going on, and the first person we face when we go back is him."
But at this time, it can be seen that they are still in the dark, and it is these "windows" that move.
Ning Gu went that way several times but failed to bring himself closer to the window of Nine Wings. It was close, but it was absolutely impossible to touch it.
Lian Chuan suddenly pushed him, grabbed his arm and threw him towards the window.
"Even the dog!" Ning Gu yelled out in shock when his arm was grabbed.
I don't want to be separated anymore. Facing these things alone, I am too at a loss, too helpless, and have boundless loneliness.
He really didn't want to experience the despair of not being able to find Lianchuan again.
The moment he crashed into the "window", Lian Chuan grabbed his ankle.
When he fell into the cave, Ning Gu saw Lian Chuan from the corner of his eye, and he could still feel Lian Chuan's hand on his ankle, so he was relieved.
"Can you tell me first!" Ning Gu got up and yelled at Lian Chuan.
"It's too late," Lian Chuan said, "If you go beyond the distance later, you won't be long enough."
Ning Gu raised his hand and shook it: "It's so long, is it enough?"
Lian Chuan smiled and walked to the table.
"Look quickly." Ning Gu followed, leaning on the table with his hands and leaning in front of the book, saw the words on the book, "What was written on it! It's not this page, the page I tore off is full of writing. "
"Just this page," Lian Chuan stared at the words on it, "this is a record."
"What did you record?" Ning Gu said, "Quickly read it! Why can't I read? I can read everything else, but I don't know what EXIT is!"
"I don't know how long I've been stuck here," Lian Chuan began to read, "Jiuyi's handwriting is quite good... There is no way to go back, Sun Yi may appear today, maybe not... I won't talk nonsense Read a waste of time…”
"I don't even know which sentence you are reading is written by Nine Wings! Which sentence is your bullshit!" Ning Gu shouted.
Lian Chuan stared at the words on the notebook and quickly scanned down: "Nine Wings does not exist in the main city of this generation, and this is just his consciousness, where he met Sun Yi... Sun Yi is... Xiaohong. "
"The one we saw just now? Why did you take Ye Xi to test the program?" Ning Gu asked.
"Yes," Lian Chuan nodded, "I thought Sun Yi was Xiaolu or Xiaolan... Nine Wings seems to have been here for a long time, and it's in this cave. This is Sun Yi's consciousness, only this cave."
"Understood," Ning Gu said, "and then?"
"Nine Wings is the one that the real Ye Xi said, the last bug that almost saw him," Lian Chuan said and glanced at Ning Gu, "It's one of the bugs you prepared for yourself."
"... so dangerous." Ning Gu was stunned for a long time, "I almost got mixed up with Jiuyi Tiantian?"
Lian Chuan didn't speak.
"Isn't it annoying?" Ning Gu was shocked, "With Fu Lu Shou Xi, I might give up the exit... What's next?"
"Sun Yi wants him to watch something," Lian Chuan said, "I don't know what to watch, and there will be nothing later."
"We came in for nothing?" Ning Gu looked around.
"It's not over yet," Lian Chuan said, "This paragraph is not over yet."
The bookshelf next to it shook.
Then it slid away to the side, revealing a semicircular hole behind the bookshelf, and a person walked out from it.
"Nine Wings?" Ning Gu noticed at a glance that there was no dog-head mask on this man's face.
Lian Chuan raised his hand and covered the upper half of the man's face in front of his eyes: "Yes."
"It's still... okay." Ning Gu looked at Jiu Yi who walked to the table and sat down. He didn't look stupid or crazy, but his face was tired and bewildered.
Lian Chuan glanced at Ning Gu, probably a little speechless about his concerns.
"Who do you think is more handsome, Jiu Yi or I?" Ning Gu insisted on his focus.
"...you." Lian Chuan was obviously puzzled.
"Nine Wings also said so." Ning Gu laughed.
"What are you two talking about together?" Lian Chuan was a little emotional.
"Is he going to write it!" Ning Gu stared at Nine Wings.
Jiu Yi picked up the pen, twirling it between his fingers, looking at the book in a trance.
Behind the unclosed bookshelf, another person came out, it was Sun Yi.
"I don't want to see you again in my life." Jiu Yi still looked at the book without looking up, "I don't want to remember what happened just now."
"Choose?" Sun Yi asked, "End or go back."
Nine Wings was silent for a long time, the pain and struggle in his eyes were clearly visible.
"I don't have the right to decide whether others exist or disappear," he said, "I don't make choices."
"You, and them," Sun Yi said, "don't exist, you just live in endless destruction, time and time again, you have no right to decide that they disappear, but you decide that they continue to suffer destruction again and again."
"Shut up!" Jiu Yi raised his head, "I entered the Valley of Lost just to live, I think, I think, I just live."
"Don't you really have a second voice in your heart? Why did you see me, and why did you want to see me? You want to end, but you are afraid of despair," Sun Yi walked to the table, "But you don't want to be destroyed headed for destruction."
"Shut up." Jiu Yi's voice became cold.
"What do you do?" Sun Yi asked.
"Choose." Nine Wings said.
"What to choose?" Sun Yi asked.
"Choose to delete," Jiu Yi looked at her, "I may not be me, but I want to live, and I will do whatever it takes to keep this secret forever just a secret."
Sun Yi didn't speak any more.
Nine Wings looked away, and the tip of the pen landed on the paper.
After staring at the book for a while, he scratched the book with his fingers.
"The record has lost its meaning.
I decided to give up the option, seal up all I know and think, whether to end or continue, in this most incredible
In the world, there is no meaning anymore, I just want to live as myself, even if only for a moment, only in my mind
There is nothingness in the inner thought, and it is also alive. PS, Sun Yi is very beautiful, although the savior she was looking forward to
However, it is just a piece of code that runs wrong.
Harder than living is being in despair. "
"No one can push me back to despair." Nine Wings' voice came.
Ning Gu only felt a few familiar silver lights suddenly flashed in the blur in front of his eyes.
The arm was jerked backwards.
When he came back to his senses, Lian Chuan had pulled him to avoid Jiu Yi's attack.
Ning Gu raised his hand, and when he saw the dark silver light gliding towards Nine Wings, he knew that he and Lian Chuan had returned to the Valley of Lost Path.
And the Nine Wings in front of him was no longer the crazy bat he was familiar with.
It is a BUG, at the cost of losing eternal freedom and being trapped in the Valley of Lost, preventing all possibilities of discovering the truth of this world.
A BUG that, like Lian Chuan in the past, took survival as the bottom line to prevent himself from falling into despair again.
