Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1659 The Price of Principle

Lin Sanjiu couldn't forget that scene for a long time afterwards.

She had heard the saying before that if there is anything worth living for in this world, it is only beauty—when Yu Yuan’s memoirs emerged from the turbulent gray mist, she suddenly remembered this sentence talk.

It was a black sea under heavy rain, breaking through the thick fog, and the pitch-black waves rose high from the gray fog, wrapped in a frightening force that shattered the frame of the world, roaring and roaring in the silence, as if Thousands of angers born from the depths of the universe swept away any satisfaction of human beings with their own existence—the black sea is like the destruction and judgment of the dark world pressing on the head. If there is a kind of beauty that comes from the extreme, then there is no other Destroying even more extreme beauty.

Lin Sanjiu stood on the edge of the city in a daze, trembling for no reason, watching the Black Sea rising, falling, and approaching in a blink of an eye in the thick fog, for a moment he even forgot who he was.

"Memoirs often change forms, especially after being triggered by someone." Ah Quan's words woke her up from the state of being insane, "I will turn him around and give it to you. Look."

When Lin Sanjiu looked back at the Black Sea again, he found that there was a small figure among the waves of different shades like ink, and from a distance, it seemed to be Yu Yuan.

When that piece of memoir met the city and the two joined each other, it no longer looked like an endless raging sea pressing down from the sky, and lost the thrilling beauty; The streets and alleys of the city are a sea of ​​black rain and waves. Yu Yuan is sinking and floating in the distant sea, and his shadow is as small as a black dove falling into the water.

"I can suspend the memoir," Ah Quan and Lin Sanjiu were standing at the junction of the narrow alley and the sea, he explained: "When you step over, all the progress of the memoir will be suspended, the memoir It will disappear temporarily and return to the original state before it was engraved into memory. At that time, he can also be awakened. To be honest, it is rare for someone to be so immersed that he completely forgets his identity , otherwise, generally speaking, when memoirs stop, people should wake up.”

Just as Lin Sanjiu was about to step up, he suddenly understood the meaning of his words. "I...I have to walk over to wake him up? Can't you bring him here?"

Ah Quan turned his head to look at her and smiled.

"I can control the memoir, but I can't control the people in it." He seemed to fully understand what Lin Sanjiu was thinking, and replied with a smile: "For example, just now, no matter how much I want you to leave, I can't make you go away." Force it out."

In other words, once she decides to wake up Yu Yuan, she has to take the initiative to leave Ah Quan's Memoirs of the City.After leaving, whether Ah Quan will stay where he is...that is a question.

Lin Sanjiu clenched her lips and hesitated for a moment.

There may be many intentions for him, but even if he guesses or steps on a certain possibility, it is actually meaningless.

Things in the world are like this: any situation has potential restrictions and risks. When a person is at a crossroads, how to choose and where to go, even if he has thought about it in advance, he cannot predict and control the result afterwards.

Of course, she can catch Ah Quan first, then everything will be easy.

But Lin Sanjiu is unwilling—no matter what the consequences are, she hopes to act according to her own principles.

"I destroyed your memoir. I really hoped to find some truth and get back my friend. Meeting you is really unexpected." She glanced at Ah Quan and said, "Then another..."

"I'll call over his memoir now," Ah Quan replied immediately.After a pause, he looked at Lin Sanjiu and asked, "So, do you want to go there?"

This question froze for a moment as if hanging in the air.

Lin Sanjiu turned around and smiled at him, and stepped across the dividing line between the memoirs.

She thought she would suddenly fall into the water, and she was even ready to swim there, but she didn't expect that when she took a step, the sea water receded instantly, and her steps landed on an indescribable texture: It's like clouds and mist can suddenly support weight, light and loose, invisible but firm.

Lin Sanjiu glanced back, Ah Quan still had that foolish look, smiled and pointed to the distance——she turned around and rushed towards Yu Yuan.

"It's irrational behavior,"

It took 17 seconds for Yu Yuan to calm down after being awakened by her. At this time, he said with a kind of precision and indifference like a scalpel: "If I have been immersed in memories and can't come out, which leads to the disorder of my own consciousness, yes For you, there is no real loss. You saved me, and you are not the Yu Yuan in your memory. But if you leave the urban memoir, it means that you have lost the only way to check and balance the controller, and the possibility of leaving has dropped sharply. No matter how you look at it, I don't understand it."

After hearing his opinion, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help laughing.She stretched out her hand and did something she would never do to the data body: she rubbed Yu Yuan's hair.

"Let's not waste time now," Yu Yuan said with a straight face, admonishing her, "Let's go separately, you go and see if Ah Quan's urban memoirs are still there, and I'll go and see where Ji Shanqing is. Has the memoir been transferred here? You have met Ah Quan, and you can talk to him, so it is more effective for you to go to him than me."

Lin Sanjiu said hello and jumped up from the ground.Now the entire space has turned into the original state, and the eyes can only see more than ten meters away, it is completely impossible to distinguish the shape and direction; she thought about it, and simply turned her head to follow the path she thought was correct Walking away, he shouted, "Ah Quan! If you make a noise, I won't be able to see the way back."

After walking for a while, Ah Quan seemed to have finally heard her cry; far away, a voice came from an invisible distance: "I am here."

Lin Sanjiu was relieved when he realized that he was running in the right direction, and stepped up to run a few steps, but his pace gradually slowed down.

There is no other reason, because the voice is too far away.

She had walked back quite a distance, but Ah Quan's voice still sounded as thin as a thread in the wind.

"I'm sorry," Ah Quan said remotely.

Lin Sanjiu stopped in his tracks.

"... Have you separated?" When she asked, she wasn't surprised at all—this was the price she was willing to pay to get her friend back.

"Yes."

Ah Quan's voice came through the formless chaos, saying: "I took over the memoir of another child, and you will find him soon. I am very grateful that you didn't attack me just now, and you should too." Thank yourself, because if you meet me, you will fall into the endless memories I have seen. Although I think you are a good person, I can't take the risk of letting you come back. I, as the creator of this copy And the custodian, as the caretaker of people's memories, I have a responsibility to fulfill."

　I specially bought a set of small pots for herbs. They are beautiful and look great in the kitchen. I can’t wait to plant the coriander and shallots. I will be in a hurry after that. I have to go to see them every hour and urge the seeds Germinate early.The natural world is really not good, the efficiency is not high enough, and the seeds do not sprout after several hours.There are three pots in total. I planted two kinds of seasoning herbs, and the other one, what do you think is better?I am in a hurry with whoever leaves a message to plant pumpkins.
