Abyss game

Under his yelling and struggling, his mother and grandma slowly disappeared, and the surrounding scenery began to distort and rotate, and finally turned into a mess of pixels, and nothing else could be seen except messy colors.

Qiao Jingting discovered that as long as his consciousness fights hard, he can break the illusion of memory, but the premise is that he must realize that the scene in front of him is fake, but even so, he still doesn't know how to get rid of the illusion.

He didn't know how much time this lengthy memory took in reality, maybe it was only a few tenths of a second, but it didn't last long enough for the ayahuasca to hang him alive, but if it continued like this, their lives would be in jeopardy.

Thinking of this, he struggled again with all his strength, but in this abstract world, he didn't even know what he was trying to break free from.

The memories of the past turned into falling snowflakes, falling one by one around him, and then the snowflakes were swept up by the wind, and the wind became stronger and stronger, and the memory began to be confused again. Qiao Jingting glimpsed many scenes that he had no impression of at all. In the sense of age of those pictures, he judged that they were memories from his childhood. It was probably before he could remember, and he couldn't remember them at all, but because of the power of Ayahuasca, his deepest memory was activated.

With an idea, he began to search for his grandfather in those messy memories.

Who gave him this crucial Tai Sui necklace?He desperately wanted to know.

He searched for a long time, but he couldn't find the kind old man in his memory. He didn't remember his appearance, voice, even his grandfather gave him the necklace, and the origin of the necklace was told to him by his grandmother when he grew up. As for now, he deeply doubts whether his grandfather exists.

Why can't I find the slightest picture of this person?

Qiao Jingting desperately recalled, and he began to dig deeper memories on his own. If he even had memories of when he was three or five years old, then he shouldn't have seen his grandfather—as long as he really existed.

Qiao Jingting felt that his brain was drowning in a very dense air, and the oppression was obvious, but his thoughts became clearer under that oppression.

He saw more strange pictures again.

In those pictures, he actually saw his younger mother. At that time, she had a beautiful face, elegant clothes, no jewels, but she was smiling sweetly with the ignorance and innocence of a small town girl.

This is... This is what it looked like when he was so fucking old?Qiao Jingting couldn't judge for a moment, after all, in his memory, his mother had always been carefully groomed.

In another scene, he saw Qiao Ruidu. In fact, there are many fragments about Qiao Ruidu in his memory, but this fragment is unusual. It was Qiao Ruidu when he was a baby, still lying in the cradle. Qiao Ruidu's appearance can be barely discerned from his well-developed facial features, but his perspective is looking down.He remembered that when he met Qiao Ruidu for the first time, Qiao Ruidu was at least three or four years old. Could it be that he met Qiao Ruidu again when he didn't remember anything?

Fragments of memory fragments continued to fly like snowflakes, and Qiao Jingting tried hard to find valuable information among them.

Soon, he discovered a special picture.It was a laboratory, with pure white and metal as the main color, with all kinds of complicated instruments, and a laboratory full of futuristic technology. He had only seen such a place in the mechanical city, but this experiment The room is obviously not the silkworm's one.

Several people in white lab coats walked around, and finally stopped in front of him. This time, his perspective was looking up, and those people were looking down at him.

Qiao Ting was shocked beyond measure.Is this also his memory when he didn't remember anything?He is sure that he was not tied to a bed in the Mechanic City, and he has never entered such a place. All the weird, puzzling, and strange memories he saw came from his childhood?

Qiao Jingting panicked a little. Are these memories true or false?Is it an illusion created by Ayahuasca?If it is true, what did he experience in his childhood?The more flustered he was, the more eager he was to find answers, so he desperately searched for more strange memories.

In that vast memory bank, he saw many of his past experiences. He wanted to find out the pictures mixed with weird information from those real and familiar experiences. They must be conveying something!

After a while, he saw a strange picture again. It was a spacious conference room, the walls were made of dark blue soundproof materials, the floor was made of high-grade marble, and in the center of the conference room was a huge solid wood round table. His perspective was A person sitting in front of a round table, he looked around, the seat was more than half empty, there were only about six or seven people, his eyes swept away, Qiao Jingting felt as if he saw a familiar person, he wanted to turn around and take a closer look , but the angle of view did not follow his heart, and turned to the projection cloth.

The picture on the projection cloth shocked Qiao Jing, because it was the picture they saw when they washed their souls!The transparent human body connected by meridians and acupuncture points is like a transparent jellyfish suspended in mid-air.

He will never forget this scene for the rest of his life, because during the few hours of washing the essence, he watched the phantom split from his body, and then gradually merged into one in severe pain.

Why?Why did he see this picture here?When is this, where is it, what meeting is it?Who are the people in the meeting and what are they discussing? !

Judging from the perspective of this time, he is definitely not a toddler anymore, but in his adult memory, there is absolutely no such experience.

These memories, these memories!What went wrong? !Why does he have so many completely unfamiliar memories?Had he forgotten, or were these memories fabricated by Ayahuasca?

The fragment of that memory flickered again, looking down, he saw suit pants and leather shoes flashing by, as well as the shoes of the person sitting next door.

shoe!

Qiao Jingting's eyes widened. The shoes looked familiar, as if...

The fragments of that memory began to be replayed, and just when he wanted to take a closer look at the familiar person and the familiar shoes, all the images disappeared suddenly, and a strong light shot into his eyes, and he felt severe pain in both eyes , difficult to open.

The cold air was mixed with a strange high temperature, which made his goosebumps explode.He felt temperature and pain again, as well as suffocation. He barely opened his eyes and found that his torso, limbs and neck were all strangled by dead vines.But those dead vines didn't tighten any further, instead they stopped moving.

There was a strong scorching smell coming from the ground, like a piece of platycodon was burned at one time, and there were still scattered sparks on the ground, all the snow had been melted, all the dead vines were stiff, and His companions were all bound, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

Qiao Jingting's brain was still drowning in the ocean of memory, unable to digest the picture in front of him, he didn't even know if it was reality or another hallucination.

Then, he saw the only person who could move - Zhixuan.

The child with an extremely delicate face and an extremely weird temper stood unscathed on a piece of scorched land, holding a jug with a bored expression on his face.

Qiao Jingting stared at him dumbfounded, Zhixuan noticed that he was awake, and said two words coldly: "Trash."

Qiao Jingting blushed, but he didn't have the strength to get angry.Comparing the situation of the two, he is indeed more like a waste. He gathered his muscle strength and broke the ayahuasca one by one.With the strength of the ayahuasca, he couldn't restrain him, but there are too many ayahuasca, one is broken and the other is replaced, there is no limit, no matter how strong the strength is, it will be exhausted.

After he broke free, his companions woke up one by one. Qiao Jingting looked around and found that everyone was still alive, so he was relieved.He picked up the knife and went to help Shuai escape.

Shu Ai was very smart, she curled up and hid in the protective barrier. Ayahuasca wrapped her into a ball, just like a fetus was born in a mother's womb.

Qiao Jingting looked at Shu Ai's eyes closed tightly, with an unconcealable tiredness on his face, and suddenly remembered the scene when he saw her for the first time, because he recalled it in his memory bank just now, even if the impression The hideous burn scar in the middle is not too dazzling, because he can see the beauty of this girl through the scar.He gently woke up Shuai.

Shu Ai opened her eyes with a frightened expression. Seeing Qiao Jingting, she was stunned for a moment, then choked up and said, "Is it you?"

Qiao Jingting didn't know what memory she saw, and it might not be a good memory, maybe worse than his, he said softly: "Shu Ai, it's me."

Shu Ai threw herself into Qiao Jingting's arms and hugged his waist tightly, her body trembling.

Qiao Jingting sighed softly, feeling pity in his heart, raised his hand, hesitated in the air for three or four seconds, and then gently lowered it, resisting the urge to hug her back, and patted her on the back : "It's okay, everyone is awake."

How could he not understand Shu Ai's thoughts, how could he not understand Shu Ai's eyes, but he couldn't give her stability and happiness, so he couldn't give her any response or promise.

Unless, unless one day they can leave here alive...

Shu Ai sobbed a few times, and probably felt embarrassed, so she let go of Qiao Jingting. She lowered her head and wiped away her tears, and changed the subject under cover: "How is everyone?"

Qiao Jingting took a look. Everyone's face was pale, their heads were downcast, and they all seemed to be exhausted. They couldn't recover for a long time. He said with a wry smile: "It's not very good."

His own mind is also in a mess now, he is still thinking about everything he saw just now. Of course, what he cares most about is a memory fragment. In that meeting room, there is a familiar person among the meeting participants. The picture on the screen, as well as the familiar pair of shoes, made him rack his brains.

Shoes... Shoes... They were a pair of soft black leather shoes. They were not business leather shoes, but more like black cloth shoes in the old society. The shoes were soft, but they had the high-quality texture of leather.

A white light suddenly flashed in Qiao Jingting's mind, his heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered where he had seen similar shoes.

On... Bai Er's feet!

That's right, Bai Er wore that kind of shoes, that kind of old and weird shoes, he had never seen them before, and Bai Er only wore them when he first entered the game, and later changed to ones that could increase his speed. Boots, so he wasn't very impressed, but he was sure that those were the shoes worn by Bai Er.He also asked Bai Er why he wore such strange shoes, and Bai Er said that they were handmade rhinoceros leather shoes that have been handed down by the Bai family for hundreds of years. !

In that meeting room, sitting next to him, could it be Bai Er?No, it could be other White Nethers as well.

why?

Qiao Jingting's mind was filled with thousands of reasons.Did Ayahuasca dig out his deepest memories that he didn't realize, or did Ayahuasca create these weird memories?

If it is fake, why does Ayahuasca create these memories, and what is the point?What is the purpose?If it's true...if this fucking is true, then he's going to doubt his whole life!

Qiao Jingting felt that his head might explode at any moment, so Shuai called him several times before he came back to his senses.

Shu Ai looked at him worriedly: "Jing Ting, you must have seen a lot of bad memories, right? Don't think about it, we have experienced what we should experience, and what we haven't experienced is all fake."

Qiao Jingting nodded hesitantly, is it true, is it true?

The others recovered one after another, but everyone looked depressed, especially Zou Yidao and Bai Er, they were like two puppets without souls, and there was no luster in their eyes.

Everyone can fully imagine what they have experienced. The most painful memories buried in their hearts were stripped out naked by Ayahuasca, and the wounds that had barely scabbed were dripping with blood again.

Qiao Jingting walked over, spread his arms, and hugged them from left to right.

Zou Yidao lit a cigarette for himself with trembling hands, and said softly, "This is the copy that I regret the most."

"I know." Qiao Jingting said softly.

Bai You closed his eyes, and leaned his head on Qiao Jingting's shoulder. Qiao Jingting rubbed his head, but he was thinking about the pair of rhinoceros leather soft-soled shoes.

Jiang Chao Ge came over, holding Zhi Xuan in his arms, but the child fell asleep: "Hey, are you all right?"

Qiao Jingting said: "It should be all right." He glanced at Zhi Xuan, "Is he all right?" He has never seen Zhi Xuan showing fatigue, and he has never seen him tired after a whole day's journey. .

Jiang Chao Ge touched Zhi Xuan's head, his eyes rarely showed tenderness: "It's nothing, I'm just tired."

"How did we get out of trouble?" Han Kaiyu looked at the scorched ground, "The root system of the ayahuasca seems to have been burned to death, and it was burned to death from the ground, but the one on the surface was preserved intact, how did this happen? "

Jiang Chaoge narrowed his eyes slightly, probably because he recalled a bad memory just now, he was in a bad mood, and said in a cold tone: "Are you still going to continue pretending?"

Han Kaiyu was slightly stunned, he didn't know how to answer this sentence for a while, he turned his head to look at Shen Wufei, the others were also tense, not knowing what Jiang Chaoge meant.

Shen Wufei's face was also ugly, and he was so weak that he would fall if the wind blows, he said slowly: "Mr. Jiang, I know our identities are a little suspicious, and we can't explain too much, and you may not believe it if we explain it, but Please believe that we are really here to escort you."

Jiang Chaoge smiled mockingly: "'Escort', well, it's a pity that you were almost wiped out just now." He put down these words, turned around and left.

Jinglei and the others were listless, they had no strength to refute or get angry after being ridiculed like this, Jiang Chaoge was right, they were really almost wiped out just now.

How on earth did they get rescued in the first place?

Shen Wufei saw the confusion on their faces at a glance, and he whispered, "It's Zhixuan."

"What? The kid?"

"Do you really think he is human?" Shen Wufei sighed, "Actually, I was awake just now, at least most of the time, but I didn't move, just to see Zhixuan's ability."

"You mean that Zhixuan is Jiang Chaoge's...soul beast?!"

Shen Wufei nodded: "I saw Zhixuan, put his palm against the ground, and then sparks appeared on the surface, and the roots of the ayahuasca were burned to death just like that."

Everyone was shocked.

According to Shen Wufei's description, Zhixuan seemed to have easily killed the root system of the ayahuasca which stretched for more than ten miles underground. They fought hard for a long time, but they were almost hanged in the end.

"Zhi Xuan is so powerful, what kind of soul beast is it? Why didn't you save us in the first place?"

Shen Wufei shook his head: "I don't know what kind of soul beast. Anyway, Jiang Chaoge is the protagonist, so he must be a very powerful ancient beast. Look at the attitudes of Jiang Chaoge and Yu Renshu towards him. Jiang Chaoge doesn't say anything, a dignified prince will treat him Is a child so polite? As for why he didn't save us in the first place, I don't know, maybe he was testing our strength?"

Han Kaiyu curled his lips: "This is a bit embarrassing, no wonder our protagonist is so upset."

Several people also felt a little guilty, obviously they wanted to escort Jiang Chaoge, but in the end they had to be rescued instead.

Shen Wufei smiled wryly: "Actually, I wasn't trapped just now... Forget it, it's a bit of an afterthought."

Qiao Jing said: "I believe you, you said you were sober just now?"

Shen Wufei nodded: "My mental strength is enough to keep me awake. In fact, you have been bound for no more than 1 minute. I originally wanted to summon more mechanical spiders, but when I saw Zhixuan's movement, I just wanted to see him What are you going to do, I already guessed that he is a soul beast, but I don't know what kind of soul beast it is, but he still doesn't appear."

Qiao Jingting doesn't care at all whether Zhixuan is a soul beast or not. His mind is full of those memories. He asked, "So you didn't enter the memory of the ayahuasca structure."

Shen Wufei said: "Do you want to ask something?"

"I want to know how to distinguish between real and fake memories I see."

Shen Wufei frowned: "I went in, I went in to see what kind of memory Ayahuasca would construct, but because my mental power is too strong, all the memories are under my own control, without the power of Ayahuasca. Therefore, I don’t know what memories you have seen that are both true and false.”

Qiao Jingting sighed in disappointment.

"However, one thing is for sure." Shen Wufei said, "Ayahuasca's ability strengthens the memory neurons in our cerebral cortex, allowing us to remember more and longer things. I even saw me in the mother's womb. Those memories never really disappeared, they were just buried too deep for us to recall."

Bai Er said: "I also discovered this, I saw my childhood memories."

Qiao Jingting sighed. It seems that those childhood memories are definitely true. Then the origin of the Tai Sui necklace may also be true. If he has all the memories, then there is no reason why he can’t remember his relatives when he was a child. The only possibility is that his grandfather never existed. Someone told him about that memory, and repeated and fabricated it over and over again, so that he can have it. He has gained a substantial sense of the picture, and over time, he has no doubts about it.

So, what about the memory of the last meeting room?Qiao's shocked eyes shifted to Bai Er.

Bai Er also looked at him with a dazed look in his eyes.

Just as Qiao Jingting was about to open his mouth about why, Yu Renshu told them to leave as soon as possible. Qiao Jingting held back the words in his stomach. He planned to change a suitable time to sort it out, or ask Shen Wufei to help him sort it out. , it's really about to die.
