The end game [Zhongyingmei]

"........."

Sisley stood in the void not far away, watching the huge black cat that spoke human words put the basket next to the gate, and rang the doorbell with its paw.

Everything in the scene visibly began to flow again, and as the blades landed on the stone pavement, the first electric bells also pierced the air.

The black cat's figure faded into the air like smoke, leaving only the baby in the basket giggling unconsciously, curiously reaching out to grab the part of the black cat that disappeared into the air.

As the door swings open, what happens next is like a silent stop-motion animation, as a black figure in a butler's tuxedo steps out, pauses, and stoops to retrieve the envelope from the basket, pulling it out to read.

The master in nightgown stood far away by the door, only a dim silhouette remained, the black figure in the butler's clothes turned around and said something to him, then turned back again, staring at the baby in the basket with a black face without facial features I watched for a while.

"........."

The host finally started to walk down the steps. The butler silently stepped aside. The former carefully picked up the basket and walked back to the mansion. The door closed behind him. With the strong smoke and air current, the Wayne mansion was re-sheltered Get up, like the curtain call of a stage play.

—————— But Sisley knew that what happened just now was not a stage play.

Her birth, the death of her biological mother, and the black cat all happened in real life and were completely forgotten by her.

———————Dr. Krishna knows this?

This was the first thought that appeared in Sisley's mind.

Standing in the mist, she thought as calmly as she could.

All the information in the black cat's mouth was too huge, especially the word it mentioned at the last moment: "Fountain of Eternal Life", which really hit Sisley like a thunderbolt.

From beginning to end, the word has only been associated with two things: Cain and the laboratory.

"Pass on the Fountain of Eternal Life on your body..." And that's what the black cat said.

The Sisleys in the past always believed that the Fountain of Eternal Life was a place, because Cain, played by Abaddon, had emphasized his rich and beautiful hometown countless times, but the words of the black cat made Sisley think of more possibilities, Especially when it refers to her father, he uses an unusual word, [ordinary], and the opposite word is [special].

Spring water———it is flowing, just like another fluid contained in the human body: blood.

So does the fountain of eternal life actually refer to people?Sisley thought in bewilderment, the fog was so silent as the end of the world, that she could even hear her own breathing, but this time Sisley didn't feel frightened, because another worry had already hit her in advance.

——————— Are these information that the laboratory obtained early, or Dr. Krigena did not know if "she is the spring of eternal life"?

When Mephisto made a fuss about the Arkham Asylum for the first time in order to sneak into the abandoned laboratory, the beauty Rose once found the experimenter's report on Sisley's stem cells, red blood cells and bone marrow from below, which is enough to prove that They had checked everything about Sisley.

But in contrast, it was almost as if something was beyond the existing detection range, so that those experimental reports did not draw any clear conclusions, and they all led to fog or dead ends.

It all goes back to the original question: Does Dr. Krishna know this?

For some reason, standing in this fog, Sisley's intuition told her that everything that happened at this moment was only in her brain and could not be pryed into.

A long time ago, when Earl Gray was still the uncle wearing the white protective suit in the laboratory, Sisley remembered that she once held a book of anatomy and asked him a question curiously.

"If I cut my brain open, can others see what I'm thinking?"

"The human brain is the most mysterious part, especially the way it stores memories..."

Earl Gray sat down with her at that time, and did not refuse to answer her question, "To your question, my answer is, no. Memories cannot be read in detail in the form of pictures, because the brain is too delicate. Creation, no machine can imitate 'everything in memory', what can be extracted is only emotional fluctuations, and what can be instilled is only false storylines... At least, for now."

————————The memory ended here, and Sisley heard her heartbeat gradually calm down.

Dr. Krishna will not know because he purposely put her in a place that triggers her memory and everything that happened here is real.

He thought she would linger in those beautiful memories, but in fact, she resolutely rejected those golden shadows, and chose the only black memory that represented despair.

It was like grasping a rope made of nettles with bare hands, even though her palm was scratched all over, Sisley still held onto it tightly, no matter where the rope would lead her in the dense fog.

【………】

The voice that had been lingering in Sisley's mind finally stopped, falling into silence.

Sisley: ...?

She had just noticed this unusual silence when a pair of warm hands gently embraced her shoulders from behind, turning her body around with an irresistible force.

Sisley:? !

Everything happened in a blink of an eye, and just as she was about to break free, the scene suddenly began to change again. The solid marble-inlaid gold floor tiles replaced the misty touch of mist, and the air began to be filled with the fragrance of drinks and flowers.

"sweetheart."

When Sisley was completely turned around, the old father's handsome face was smiling at her.

"What are you looking at? Those fireworks?"

This false memory that looks exactly like Bruce is wearing a suit, like a playboy in the true sense, he is holding Sisley's wrist, leading her to shake gently in the middle of the ballroom, his steel blue eyes reflect the ballroom Looking at Sisley lovingly, "As your father, you know how much I wish I could dance this opening dance with you."

——— Sisley looked down, and only then noticed that she was wearing an evening dress.

She moved her gaze upwards, scanned the cursive banners hanging from the ceiling that read "Congratulations on graduating from high school", the cherubs and flower statues at the door, and the crowds of people in the ballroom, circling back to this false memory.

——————He looked so real, even the lines in the corners of his eyes and the expectations in his eyes were clear, so like a father who wanted to dance with his daughter.

【Don't you want to use your healthy body to dance with your father? 】

The voice that had been silent for a while reappeared, lingering, bewitching like a whisper from hell.

"........."

Sisley stared into his face in silence.

Tears flickered in her icy blue eyes, and she lowered her head deeply before this false memory noticed and wiped away the tears for her.

If it wasn't because of the black cat before, if it wasn't because of the preparations Mephisto made in advance, then Sisley, who was too scared and panicked, would naturally plunge into the arms of those golden figures, indulging in the warm In memory, never want to leave - because Dr. Krishna did just that.

After the real memory of the past was exhausted, he seamlessly arranged a false memory, a dream that didn't belong to Sisley but was happy enough to make her lost.

In this dream, she had a happy family, a happy life, went to a certain high school peacefully, had a healthy body, and could stand in the middle of the crowd without fear, and dance an opening dance with her father.

If Sisley was not sober enough, it was almost predictable that she would spend her whole life as a guinea pig under observation in this simulated crystal ball created by Dr. Krishna.

Maybe just once, maybe forever.

The musicians began to play the piano. It was a melodious waltz, and people ended up playing happily. This false memory led Sisley to rotate gently on the floor of the ballroom. She could feel her heart Healthy throbbing, while the false memory above still awaits a response.

"I can't dance with you."

Sisley finally raised her head.With tears in her eyes, she smiled.

"……sweetheart?"

False memories showed an expression of disbelief, and this expression stayed on his face for a moment, enough for Sisley to capture the flash of injury.

In her silence, Bruce managed to straighten his expression and smiled, "...you don't want to dance with me anymore? Or do you have a boy you like—you don't like proms like this—I can change--"

"It's not like that." Sisley said softly, trying to break free from Bruce's grasp, "It's not what you said."

"What's that for?"

False Memory asked, his expression extremely puzzled.

"Because I don't have a prom."

Sisley finally freed herself from the shackles of memory, and staring at this false memory, she calmly replied, "Actually, I don't have everything in this dream, even so, I want to go home, Because my family is waiting for me."

"What are you talking about, sweetheart?"

The false memory laughed twice in astonishment, raised his hand, and carefully touched her forehead, "Did you drink the champagne tower over there secretly? I knew something was wrong with you today..." He He frowned, and after a while, he slowly let go, "We can talk about the punishment later, you come with me first, and I will send you some hangover medicine."

Sisley watched all the expressions on his face, felt the warmth he left on her forehead, took one last look at the decoration of the entire high school ballroom, from the flowers to the fountain, and took one last look at the perfect evening dress on her body .

"Goodbye."

She shook her head and said softly, "I won't stay for these."

"Sisley? Where are you going—Sisley! Come back!"

The false memory wanted to grab her arm again, Sisley turned around without hesitation, lifted her skirt and ran.

"Sisley!" The voice chased after her, "Sweetheart! Come back!"

At Bruce's shout, she passed through the crowd and the small doors of the dance hall, which evaporated before her eyes until the fog of silence filled her eyes again.

Only then did Sisley stop running, coughing out of breath, and almost fell to the ground because her eyes were dark.The gorgeous long skirt disappeared, and Sisley squatted down, laughing inexplicably.

Laughing and laughing, her voice turned into a sob.

—————The dance hall disappeared.
