On the Seven Towers

Chapter 9 Past Memories

Xiao Chen stood in the stone path outside the hall, surrounded by broken and twisted armored warriors, and it was almost impossible to see their original shapes. And less than ten meters in front of him, there was a thin figure with a slightly hunched back, clenched fists, and stared at him without blinking.

That was Zhou He, who killed all the armored warriors alone. Her figure did not change much, but the feeling she gave people was changed from a naughty kitten to a man-eating tiger.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the sense of danger made him dare not move easily. He stared at her for five minutes. He tried to call her name a few times, but there was no response. Instead, he was frightened by her momentum and didn't know how to continue speaking.

At this time, he heard footsteps behind him. Zhou He let out a low roar and squinted his eyes to look behind him. He had only seen that look on the beasts in the animal world.

Xiao Chen looked back in horror and saw Luo Ling squeezed out of the cracks in the stone and walked towards them.

"What are you doing out here?" Xiao Chen said angrily.

Luo Ling didn't look at him, but looked at Zhou He with a gentle expression, raised her hands, indicated that it was harmless, and walked slowly.

"I saw that you were not moving, come to help." She whispered.

"Danger!" Xiao Chen stretched out his arm to stop her aside, looked back at Zhou He, and saw that she didn't seem to have the intention of hurting anyone, so he slowly exhaled.

"Maybe she is more willing to accept me than you." Luo Ling smiled and called softly: "Zhou He. Do you still recognize me?"

Zhou He seemed to have some reaction this time. She tilted her head, raised her eyebrows, and showed a confused expression on her face.

"I am Luo Ling, you are Zhou He." Luo Ling pointed at herself and nodded at her, "Remember?"

"Zhou..., Zhou..." Zhou He scratched his face, looked down at his body, raised his hands again, and looked at it repeatedly in confusion.

"Are you hungry? You just spent so much energy, do you want to eat something?" Luo Ling took out two packs of biscuits from her bag and was about to unpack them, but she saw a shadow flashing in front of her eyes, and the things in her hands disappeared. Only a gust of wind from nowhere blew the ends of her hair.

She looked up and saw that the biscuits were indeed in Zhou He's hands.

"Oh my God! What speed is this, Flash?!" Xiao Chen didn't react at all. He didn't rush to stand in front of Luo Ling until Zhou He snatched the biscuits and retreated.

Zhou He ignored them at all and stuffed the biscuits with the packaging directly into his mouth. After chewing for a while, he took the plastic paper out of his mouth and threw it on the ground and stepped on it a few times in disgust, as if this transparent thing ruined her wonderful meal. She finished eating two packs of biscuits, stared at Luo Ling's bag with a covetous look, and swallowed her saliva.

Luo Ling decisively opened the bag and prepared to take out the remaining food.

Zhou He's eyes sparkled and she grinned, "Eat..., eat..." She said incoherently. Suddenly, she kicked her feet, rushed over quickly, and snatched the bag. She happily sat on the ground holding the bag, and with a pull of her hands, Luo Ling's bag was split into two pieces. She pushed her wallet, keys and cosmetics aside like sweeping away garbage, and grabbed the remaining biscuits and bread. This time she learned her lesson, tore open the plastic wrapping, and began to eat heartily.

When the bag was split in two, Luo Ling's face darkened, "I lost two months' salary..."

"Your bag has been put to good use since it can temporarily appease Supergirl." Xiao Chen stroked his forehead and said, "But it won't work this way. She even forgot how to eat biscuits. Will she still be so quiet after eating all that?"

"At least she recognized that those were food, and she improved the second time, which shows that she is rational. And she didn't attack us actively. She treated us completely differently from those tin cans, which shows that she doesn't think we are a threat. I have a feeling that she is just temporarily confused, and maybe familiar things can evoke her memory." Luo Ling said.

"Familiar things? Aren't these foods all? And the clothes we wear, these are all things she should be familiar with." Xiao Chen asked back.

"No, that's not the case." Luo Ling shook her head and said, "These things are just necessities of life, and they don't occupy too much space in her heart. Would you have strong emotions about a pack of biscuits? Would you have a deep impression of a shirt? We'd better find something that she likes or hates strongly, and touch her subconscious emotions."

"Emotions..., am I considered? She blushed for me earlier." Xiao Chen pointed at his nose.

"Your position in her heart is obviously not as important as biscuits. How many times have you called her? She doesn't care about you at all." Luo Ling answered mercilessly.

Xiao Chen smiled, scratched his head and thought for a moment, and said: "Didn't she talk about the work in the printing shop? From what she said, she was very dissatisfied with this repetitive life every day. I guess she hates that job. Do you think she will remember anything when she sees the printed manuscript? There are some printed thesis materials in my schoolbag."

"That makes sense, we can try it!" Luo Ling agreed.

The two took Zhou He's package and Xiao Chen's backpack. Xiao Chen took out a few documents from his bag and waved them in front of Zhou He, "Zhou He, look at what this is, do you recognize it?"

However, Zhou He continued to eat by himself, ignoring Xiao Chen's expression.

"It's useless."

"Wait, give me your documents." Luo Ling took the documents, untied the staples, and stuffed them into Zhou He's food package.

She waited until Zhou He finished the previous food, then pointed to the package on the ground and said, "Zhou He, are you still hungry? There is more food here."

The desire for food is indeed engraved in the instinct of animals. Zhou He patted her belly and felt that she was not full yet, so she jumped up and came to the package. She raised the package high, grabbed both sides of the package as usual, and pushed it with all her strength. pull. With a "crack" sound, the package fell apart, the food fell down, and dozens of pieces of printing paper were scattered in the air with the force of tearing, and fell one after another.

This is..., a somewhat familiar feeling... Zhou He was attracted by these white papers. Instead of picking up the food, she watched them fall to the ground in ecstasy until she was surrounded by black and white words on the ground.

Seeing this, Luo Ling immediately asked: "Zhou He, do you still remember the days when you worked in the pile of printing paper every day? Do you still remember those manuscripts that were never finished printing?"

Zhou He's eyes became more and more confused. She shook her head vigorously and waved her hands in front of her eyes like flies, as if she wanted to get something annoying out of her mind.

Luo Ling's voice turned cold and she continued to ask: "Do you still remember that feeling of boredom and depression? Do you remember that uncontrollable sense of inferiority? Do you remember the envy and jealousy you looked at those students?"

Xiao Chen frowned and whispered: "How can you say that? It's too disrespectful. Be careful to anger her."

"Strong medicine is used for severe cases! We are attacking her heart and directly pointing to the most primitive emotions in her heart. Uncovered words are the most powerful! Look! She seems to be a little touched."

Zhou He's face changed, sometimes helpless, sometimes sad, sometimes angry. Her emotions turned into actions. She began to grab the white papers on the ground and tear them into pieces one by one. However, the torn pieces of paper were still scattered around her. She tore the paper into more and more pieces, but the pieces of paper on the ground were still scattered around her. Not diminished at all.

Finally, she became angry and started to roar...

"You are Zhou He, the one who squeezed into a big city from the countryside, but can only live in a print shop. Your life has no goals and no hope! You have no idea where you are going!"

"Ah~~" Zhou He hugged her head and yelled. While shaking her body, she shouted in a sharp voice: "Who am I...? Who... is Zhou He? I... What to do? Where do I go?

"You are Zhou He. You are in pain, but we will help you calm down and find yourself. We will help you and stand by your side!" Luo Ling said in a gentle tone again.

Zhou He's eyes looked blankly in the direction of Luo Ling, as if he was looking at her, or looking at the endless distance behind her, "I... don't know..., I am Zhou He."

"It seems to be working. She can speak now." Xiao Chen said happily. Although Luo Ling's words were harsh and unpleasant, it seemed that they really touched her heart?

Luo Ling slowly stretched out her hand, "You are Zhou He, let us help you."

Zhou He looked at the slender palm, her face tangled, but in the end she slowly stretched out her hand, "I am Zhou He."

"Yes, you are Zhou He." Luo Ling smiled and was about to hold her hand.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred. Zhou He let out a loud cry, and her eyes were covered with a layer of white. Then, white light ignited all over her body. The white light was like clouds, flowing and billowing. Zhou He stepped back step by step. Every time he took a step back, a footprint would crack on the floor. As she walked, she muttered a few strange syllables.

After she took four or five steps back, she suddenly turned around and ran towards the depths of the stone path.

"What's going on!" Luo Ling took back her hand, at a loss.

"I don't know, follow me and have a look!" Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and said.

————————————————————————

The two followed the footprints on the ground and ran for nearly a hundred meters on the winding stone path. They came to a small hall. The iron door of the small hall had been knocked down to the ground. Zhou He, who was like a white torch, was carrying Standing in the room facing them.

The floor of the entire room was covered with complex runes. These runes formed a circle, and Zhou He stood in the center of the circle. The white air flow from Zhou He's body spread out in all directions and poured into these runes. Like a dry river bed moistened by rain, these runes flashed on and off.

In the blink of an eye, those runes turned into dazzling white, and countless rune lights and shadows rose from the ground, gathering around Zhou He's body, starting from her legs, slowly wrapping her up, eroding her, and disappearing into the air. Thighs, hips, waist, when everything disappeared from her chest down, she suddenly looked back and said that group of syllables again...

Then, it disappeared into the room together with the white light. Only rune grooves all over the ground were left.

"Is this... teleportation? Where did she go?" Xiao Chen whispered.

Luo Ling stared at the dots of white light floating in the space and said: "I seem to understand what she said, which is the kind of mutated Spanish. She repeatedly said: teleportation..., trial place..., battle... …”
