Jiang Yi and Shi Yan stopped in front of the mighty water waves.

"See clearly, he was sucked in?" Jiang Yi looked solemnly at the water curtain that blocked them out—some kind of powerful invisible force prevented them from going any further, and it was difficult for them to even touch the river water , let alone through the water column.

Shi Yan replied: "Yes."

Actively stepping in or passively inhaling, it seems that the result is the same, but the meanings are not the same.

"Since when did hypnosis fail?"

Annoyed look appeared in Shi Yan's eyes: "After I come in."

This timing is too coincidental, so coincidental that even if you think about it with your toes, you know there is something wrong - this shows that Lin Xiao may have never entered Shi Yan's hypnosis, and he was pretending to cooperate from the beginning.

"He's really willing to pay for it." Jiang Yi didn't look panic-stricken, and only commented lightly.

——In order to deceive them, he did not hesitate to pretend to be drunk, and when he was done, he took a bite on the side of his neck, and used his own blood containing terrifying energy to send him straight to the full level to avenge Wu Ruiliang.

Shi Yan lowered his eyes: "I was careless."

Jiang Yi: "I can't blame you."

"Brother," Shi Yan showed a hint of worry on his usually expressionless face, "He has the same blood as Lin Xiao, and has the same powerful consciousness. If he keeps acting..."

Jiang Yi said firmly, "He won't."

The corner of Shi Yan's mouth curled into a sour arc. Although it was fleeting, the bitter taste in his throat was hard to dissipate.He had always believed in Jiang Yi's judgment, but this time it was different.Before that, he had also been extremely convinced that what Lin Xiao did during this period was due to his hypnosis, and he even indulged in it almost ridiculously, but now it seems that it was just his wishful thinking.

Part of Jiang Yi's understanding of Lin Xiao came from Shi Yan.From the memories of Lin Xiao obtained by Shi Yan and the few words Lin Yuzhen occasionally revealed, it can be seen that the relationship between the two brothers is still very harmonious. Rationally speaking, he doesn't need to worry that Lin Xiao will hurt Lin Yuzhen, but he still can't bear it in his heart. I couldn't stop worrying—it's just that I was used to being the captain in the past few years, and I had developed the ability to keep a calm face no matter what the situation, so this worry didn't show on my face.

Shi Yan: "But the blood on his body can't be faked. Even if he has no intention, once Lin Xiao wakes him up in some way, our troubles will be more than doubled immediately."

Jiang Yi looked at the majestic water vapor in front of him, wondering what he was thinking, and didn't respond.

Shi Yan called softly: "Brother?"

Jiang Yi came back to his senses and said, "That's not right."

Tokihiko: "What...wrong?"

"Compared with Lin Xiao's behavior during this time, compared with before we got close to him, there is nothing inconsistent, and his temper and personality are all consistent." Jiang Yi said, "If it is acting, did it start so early?"

------

"Why you?" There was a trace of cold sadness in Lin Yuzhen's eyes, "When did it start?"

Lin Xiao looked at his younger brother's expression, and said, "You're blaming me."

"Did it start from the day you unlocked the code, or earlier?" Lin Yuzhen said, "On that morning three months ago, when you saw the bloody teeth that I didn't have time to take back, you acted like you didn't know anything about it."

Lin Xiao smiled helplessly, and said, "You suspect that I'm playing you? No."

Lin Yuzhen looked at the familiar face in silence, but now it became a little strange, and heard him say: "Yuzhen, do you know why people have life span?"

This sentence seemed to be off topic, but Lin Yuzhen vaguely sensed something, and just listened quietly without answering.

"You know, in the low-dimensional world, people are limited by time. Cells, organs, nerves... will inevitably decline as time goes by," Lin Xiao said, "This is time, and it is also the body belt." The shackles and restrictions given to us, and our consciousness, or the soul in our body, can actually break free from this shackles."

"This system exists to break this limitation. Your consciousness will become stronger and stronger with the experience of copy after copy, and eventually you can transcend your body and exist in a high-dimensional world." Lin Xiao explained to him seriously He said, "From the day I reached the highest level, I have the qualification to leave the low-dimensional world. The me in this world has been completely separated from the me in that world—of course, it is not unrelated, as long as I am willing, You can manipulate his behavior like a marionette, but I don't have that much time."

Lin Yuzhen looked at him: "Brother, I haven't graduated from kindergarten yet, so I won't listen to such fantasy stories."

Lin Xiao smiled calmly and said, "When I heard the truth, I couldn't believe it. Are you scared? Don't worry, you can think about it slowly and see if I'm making up stories to coax you."

Lin Yuzhen pursed the corner of her lower lip, and some fragments flowed through her mind like a revolving lantern. The childhood Lin Xiao, the adult Lin Xiao, the gloomy and lonely Lin Xiao described by his father because of his mother's death, and the familiar Lin Xiao. That careless, heartless Lin Xiao...

Lin Yuzhen's voice was a little rough: "When did you implant the system in my body?"

"Silly brother," Lin Xiao shook his head and smiled, "You still don't fully understand, but it can't be your fault—it seems that you still haven't been able to try out the password left by your mother. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what it is, After all, I can show you the contents inside."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and flicked lightly in the air, the looming golden thread swam to the direction he pointed, and a room with a faint smell of disinfectant appeared before his eyes.

-[Dear Mrs. Lin, I am the MR intelligence that can realize any wish for you. Any wish you construct in your mind will be displayed by me. ]

The familiar sound of hospice MR equipment rang through the empty space.

- [The experience you want to review, the scenery you want to see, the friends you want to meet, as long as you have needs, I will do my best to realize them for you. ]

- [Now, you can try to draw up a wish. ]

It was the first time to look back at the never-revealed past from such a perspective, and Lin Yuzhen subconsciously held her breath.

The young woman on the hospital bed had pale lips, and a few strands of long hair scattered on her chest. The ink-like hair and pale complexion contrasted with each other, outlining the thin jaw line due to illness, and she had a kind of embarrassing beauty before the flowers withered.

The angle of view changes, the white ward disappears, the tip of the nose can still smell a faint smell of disinfectant, the voice of MR glasses falls in the darkness, and a soft female voice sounds softly in the depths of the darkness: "I want to see... my The appearance of two children grown up."

The MR glasses received instructions and started to operate. After a while, a bloody scene appeared in the darkness:

The labyrinth where you can't see your fingers, the tall man dragging the hammer, the men and women who are out of breath being chased, the sound of rapid breathing and the harsh sound of the hammer across the ground fills the whole space, and the slow running is caught A hammer hit the wall, blood splashed...

She saw that her own children were also being chased.

"What's going on here?" Mrs. Lin was puzzled.

"Ten years from now, the world will undergo a revolution that will turn the world upside down, and everyone will enter the trial of this revolution," the simulated mechanical voice was flat, but it could easily arouse the audience's panic, "This pair For all mankind, it is undoubtedly a blessing, the survival of the fittest will push human society into a new era, isn't it?"

Mrs. Lin was silent for a while: "...from the civilization age to the stone age?"

The mechanical voice seemed to stop for a moment, and then replied in a voice without ups and downs: "No, it is entering an era of higher dimensions."

Mrs. Lin's silence was longer this time, as if silently expressing "I don't believe it".

"This is not a fabrication for no reason," said the voice, "like now, MR technology has taken the first step, you don't need to speak, I can automatically read thoughts in your mind, which is exactly It is because human consciousness itself is a complete and independent existence. More than ten years later, MR technology will reach its peak, and what you see is not a bloody melee fight, but a battle of countless people’s consciousness.”

Mrs. Lin: "What happens to the people who die in this kind of engagement?"

"Since it is the survival of the fittest, those who die will naturally be delisted." The mechanical voice said, "I hope you can understand that consciousness is the main body of human beings. Once consciousness dies, life will also disappear."

Mrs. Lin said: "According to what you said, after the body dies, can the consciousness continue to exist?"

"Of course, ma'am," it said, "it's just a body, and consciousness is the key to survival."

Mrs. Lin paused for a moment: "If there is such a day, what will happen to my child...?"

"Sorry, I can't answer for you," said the mechanical voice, "You have already checked the future once, please don't make the same wish."

"So, what can I do for them?"

"I must remind you that this is the second wish, are you sure you still want to use it on them?"

Mrs. Lin said: "Of course."

"Then, let me make an exception to answer your question," it said, "before they complete the trial, the only thing that will help them is the blood that flows from their bodies. You may say that blood is also part of the body." Part of it. But what I am referring to is actually the energy contained in the conscious body, but in the low-dimensional world, the specific form of this energy is blood..."

Probably the system is too nagging, and Mrs. Lin, who is physically weak, has no time to listen to its long speech patiently, and only said: "If possible, I just hope they can live well."

System: "So, your wish is to provide them with supreme energy, so that they can pass the trial in the future and come to the end?"

Mrs. Lin pondered for a while, and said, "Yes."

She doesn't know whether the wish she made before the end of her life will really take effect, but as a mother who only has a brain and can think freely, she doesn't mind abandoning materialism and idealizing at the last moment.

The voice disappeared for a moment, and when it reappeared, the tone seemed to have some ups and downs: "Ms. Lin, I am very happy to tell you that your wish has been fulfilled. The supreme energy in the blood of the child takes effect, and as the wisher and their mother, you also have blood with double the energy-this is not a cause for celebration for you, because no one can afford this magnitude energy. You may now understand where the heart disease that you can't find out comes from?"

Mrs. Lin's breathing was slightly stagnant, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart—maybe when a person is about to die, he can feel something called fate in the dark.

Destiny is like a chain of beads connected end to end. She stroked them one by one in sequence, and when she reached the last one, she turned around and suddenly realized that there was an invisible and intangible silk thread in the middle, running through it all.

"The wish is fulfilled and cannot be changed. Now, you can make your last wish."

Amidst the verdict, a faint smile appeared on the sickly and pale woman's face.She thought with satisfaction and relief in her heart, even if she was given another chance, she would still make the same choice under the condition of predicting the cause and effect. What is there to regret?

Mrs. Lin's emotions are still soft and firm: "You just said that the body is just a shell, and the consciousness can be independent, then..."

Before the mechanical voice finished speaking for the first time, it interrupted her: "Your illness is the result of causality, and there is no solution."

"I have no intention of changing the cause and effect, I just want to see them and stay with them for a while longer," she said calmly, "One day is fine."

"Is this your last wish?"

"Yes."

The picture gradually faded away, and Lin Yuzhen already knew what happened afterwards. Mrs. Lin, who was able to delay her death, suffered from an illness at home, and finally died in front of Lin Xiao.

"Is it clear now?" Lin Xiao's voice followed, "This is not our choice, but a written destiny."

Even if he forced himself to calm down again, Lin Yuzhen's mood inevitably fluctuated up and down, and his mind was almost in a mess.

After a while, he closed his eyes and tried to find his voice: "...but later, even if you had the opportunity to go back in time, you still couldn't save it..."

"No," Lin Xiao interrupted him impatiently, "You don't understand, the reason for my failure is not at all taking the medicine bottle before the me at that time, nor is it some damn theory of cause and effect, but Because I can't go back to the correct time point again, put the medicine bottle back!"

Lin Yuzhen: "What?"

Didn't he say that after level 99, the timeline is like a timeline that he can drag at will?

"Going back to that time for the second time means that the world at that time point must be able to accommodate two me from the high-dimensional world," Lin Xiao said solemnly, "but that is a low-dimensional world, and it is barely enough to accommodate one. , the two will be confused due to the lack of overall energy."

Lin Yuzhen figured out some ideas in his chaotic brain: "So...you have to let everyone implant the system, screen out those with low blood energy, and make the remaining users' energy continue to increase through upgrades, and finally Get a world where the overall energy can support the second retrospective?"

Lin Xiao's eyes showed approval: "Very good, it seems that you have understood."

"So," he said, "let's work together for that day."

As he spoke, Lin Xiao waved his hand casually, and countless large and small bubbles immediately appeared around them, filled with different scenes: labyrinth, manor, forest... Countless people were wrapped in it , struggling to survive.

"You have the same strong consciousness as me, making such a copy is easy," Lin Xiao showed him his "results" and at the same time glanced meaningfully in a certain direction, "Just right, there are two people outside who can't wait As for the experiencers who want to come in, you can construct a brand new copy for them to give back to them for using and deceiving you during this period of time.”

Lin Yuzhen didn't answer directly, but after a pause, he said, "Brother, Shi Yan...have you been hypnotizing you all this time?"

"He hypnotized the 'I' in the low-dimensional world," Lin Xiao shrugged. "Unfortunately, that has nothing to do with me."

"Even if he stands in front of me now, I don't take any precautions, and that little trick is not worth mentioning." Lin Xiao added sarcastically, "The temporarily boosted energy by relying on other people's blood, and the profound How can you compare with what is in your own flesh and blood?"

Lin Yuzhen said: "I understand."

"Very good. Why don't you leave it to Shi Yan, and use him to gradually familiarize yourself with the feeling of controlling other people's consciousness," Lin Xiao said, "Jiang Yi's attributes are a bit interesting, let me handle them, and you It’s good to see what’s out of sight.”

Lin Yuzhen did not answer.

Lin Xiaoqi said: "Why, you are still reluctant to touch him at this point? What kind of ecstasy potion did he give you, which is more effective than consciousness control?" Lin Yuzhen said: "...No." After a pause, " I have something to ask him."

Lin Xiao nodded to express her understanding, and made a grasping gesture with her fingers in the air, and soon two figures appeared before Lin Yuzhen's eyes.

"Ask." Lin Xiao looked at them playfully.

Lin Yuzhen raised her eyes slightly, and looked at Jiang Yi who was close at hand. Originally, she wanted to ask a lot of things, but when it came to the end, she felt that she had nothing to say.Their eyes met, and there was only endless silence.

After a long time, Lin Yuzhen said, "You already knew."

His figure was reflected in Jiang Yi's dark pupils, and he did not dodge or avoid: "Yes."

Lin Yuzhen: "You have been lying to me."

This time, Jiang Yi paused for two seconds, his gaze still not dodging: "Yes."

Lin Yuzhen's eyes darkened, she pursed her lips and fell silent.

Lin Xiao crossed her arms, watched enough of the good show from the sidelines, and couldn't help laughing: "Yuzhen, if you feel sad for this kind of person..."

Before he could say the following words, Lin Yuzhen suddenly reacted and punched Jiang Yi hard.

——This is a battle of consciousness, not a simple and rough hand-to-hand fight. Lin Yuzhen suppressed the strong and turbulent consciousness that he was not fully used to. With one punch, Jiang Yi's figure was thrown into the endless void by him. The darkness completely disappeared from the field of vision.

"Okay." Lin Xiao laughed twice, very satisfied with his performance, "This is my real brother."

After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to Shi Yan who wanted to save Jiang Yi but was in vain, stretched out his slender five fingers, clasped his fair neck, and said with serious eyes: "Next, it's your turn."

Shi Yan raised his head and looked directly at him without any fear, his eyes were slightly red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You picked up my life in the first place, and I will give it back to you."

After Lin Yuzhen swung that punch just now, he felt that the blood flowing through his limbs and bones seemed to be boiling, slamming left and right crazily, and the severe pain washed over his whole body. , about to explode.

While trying his best to endure this terrible feeling, he paid attention to the conversation between Shi Yan and Lin Xiao. Before he could think about the reason why Shi Yan said "Lin Xiao picked up this life", he heard that Lin Xiao was merciless He sarcastically said: "Why, do you think that entering the core of the system as a full-level identity and forcing me to kill you in this way can destroy this place with the bursting energy? It's a pity that at this time, you still haven't been able to fight right. idea."

From the corner of Lin Yuzhen's eyes, he caught a glimpse of a stiff look in Shi Yan's eyes, and he knew that Lin Xiao guessed right, this was indeed Shi Yan's original plan.

Lin Xiao's fingertips gently rubbed Shiyan's carotid artery, feeling the warmth and regular beating there, and said calmly, "You really don't have any self-knowledge about the little energy in your blood."

Amidst Lin Xiao's mocking voice, Shi Yan's eyes suddenly froze into a line at a certain moment, and a small dagger appeared in his hand from time to time, and the cold light pointed directly at Lin Xiao's heart!

"My energy may not be enough to destroy this place," Shi Yan said in his heart, "but yours must be enough."

The extremely sharp knife light was cut off by Lin Xiao effortlessly halfway, he pinched the thin blade with two fingers, and said with a smile: "Since you are not sure, let's do an experiment."

The blade condensed by consciousness easily turned its direction in the air, and stabbed straight into Shi Yan's chest.

Lin Yuzhen's pupils shrank suddenly, and there was no time to stop him. He stared at Shi Yan's figure—his consciousness exploded under the night, and the red streamer lit up half of the night sky like fireworks.

Then, like sparks, they fell and dissipated.

He had never realized so deeply and soberly that the Lin Xiao in front of him was no longer the elder brother he was familiar with, but had become a crazy and strange monster.

Regardless of adapting to the crazily surging energy all over his body, Lin Yuzhen quickly mobilized his consciousness, which enveloped Lin Xiao's body invisibly. Are you going to help someone else plot against me? I'm really, really disappointed in you."

Before the words fell, a force that became more proficient and more powerful pushed back Lin Yuzhen's attempt to control his consciousness. Turning around, the hand that was used to grasping the brush before slashed at the side of Lin Yuzhen's neck.

At this moment, an inconspicuous bubble drifted and came to them from a distance.

Lin Yuzhen flashed back without hesitation, and jumped into the bubble - the bubble contained an all-too-familiar scene - Black Rose City.

When Lin Xiao saw the scene inside the bubble clearly, her face sank imperceptibly.

Jiang Yi, who was hit by Lin Yuzhen's punch just now, was standing in this bubble, more precisely, standing in front of the fountain in the center of Black Rose City.

What's even more hateful is that he nodded and smiled at Lin Yuzhen lightly, with a smile on his face that is sure to win.

"Lin, Yu, Zhen." The three words were squeezed out of Lin Xiao's teeth, followed by a gritted sneer, "I really didn't expect that for him, you can not only betray your mother, but also take the initiative to give up the leadership The power of time and fate."

"It wasn't him who betrayed and gave up, it was you." Jiang Yi looked at him with a layer of air bubbles apart, and said calmly, "You don't really believe that the day everyone is pulled into the system, you can successfully rescue them." Your own mother? Stop deceiving yourself, Lin Xiao. You have been deceiving yourself for so many years, do you want to continue?"

"You don't need to teach me." Lin Xiao said solemnly, "I know better than you what I want to do, you trash who is willing to be driven away by time."

Jiang Yi smirked slightly, observing the subtle changes in his expression with great interest, knowing that he and Lin Yuzhen had guessed right.

The inside of the water column linking heaven and earth is not the real core of the system. In fact, the real core of the system is hidden in an inconspicuous bubble by Lin Xiao.

Among the thousands of copies, which one is the place they are looking for?

Through the conversation with Lin Xiao, Lin Yuzhen became more and more sure that Black Rose City was their goal.

——Lin Yuzhen clearly remembered that the copy of the underground manor he and Jiang Yi experienced together was a dream created by Shi Yan through double hypnosis.There, Shi Yan used the dream-in-dream method to transform a small piece of memory originally belonging to Lin Xiao into a dream and implanted it in his mind. He dreamed of Usha's mother who appeared in the Black Rose City, and subconsciously believed that she was own mother.This matter was not figured out at the time, until just now, he suddenly realized that it was actually the image of a mother that Lin Xiao subconsciously fabricated for himself—as for whether it was due to the protection mechanism of memory against pain, or was it caused by the truth? The blurred and faded image of her mother is unknown.

Over the years, his mother has become Lin Xiao's lingering obsession. When he constructed the copy, he also inevitably brought "private goods" with him.Then, the Black Rose City, which hides the image of a mother like this, becomes very suspicious.

In addition, there is an image of a "copy constructor" in Black Rose City - the painter Norman.This fits well with Lin Xiao's current identity and profession in the real world.Lin Yuzhen was almost certain immediately that it was the image Lin Xiao made for herself, out of selfishness to stay with her mother, and put them together in the Black Rose City.

Therefore, he pretended to turn against Jiang Yi, took the opportunity to send him into the correct bubble, and waited for the opportunity.

Lin Xiao stood outside the bubble, looked at them and sneered silently: "Don't you think that if you hide in the dungeon, I can't do anything to you?"

"Yes," Jiang Yi said without humility, "otherwise why are you still standing there foolishly waiting? Waiting for my invitation? Then, please crush the bubbles immediately and kill us."

Lin Xiao gritted her teeth hard: "I think crushing your hands is much better than crushing a bubble." After finishing speaking, he flew into the air and jumped into the bubble.

Lin Yuzhen took a deep breath, mobilized his consciousness at the same time, tried to control Lin Xiao again, but was easily blocked by him again.

"Trash." Lin Xiao cursed in a low voice.

"Whether we are wastes driven by time, this matter is still open to debate," Jiang Yi embraced Lin Yuzhen, who was forced to take two steps backward by Lin Xiao's consciousness, and said in a leisurely voice, "But I'm sure, you have run out of time .”

Lin Yuzhen gritted his teeth and endured the more intense pain than last time, and raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yi - at this point, he no longer knew what tricks Jiang Yi had hidden to win, and he could only be so calm when facing a tough opponent .

What he didn't expect was that the moment his eyes met, an ominous premonition rose from his heart—Jiang Yi's deep and peaceful eyes were full of reluctance at this moment, although it was only for a moment, he was very clear. captured.

"I'm sorry." He heard Jiang Yi say softly.

The next moment, Jiang Yi kissed him recklessly, with all the secrets that had never been revealed—those emotions and words that were deliberately suppressed and dared not reveal easily, were released greedily at this moment, and the lips and teeth touched. , brutally bit Lin Yuzhen's lip.

The scorching temperature is mixed with the sweet smell of blood, and the drooping night is dazzling.This domineering kiss happened so quickly that before Lin Yuzhen escaped from the shock, Jiang Yi pushed him away viciously - the force of this palm was no less than the one he used on Jiang Yi before, he In this way, it was pushed out of the bubble range.

——The next second, a scorching cold light pierced Jiang Yi's hands, piercing his own body instantly.In the bloody light that splashed across the sky, Lin Yuzhen was pushed farther by the blatant impact of the explosion.Looking back in amazement, the bubble carrying the black rose city shattered, and all the scenes in it turned into scattered stardust.
