After hanging up the phone, Yan Xiao stopped Qin Manjiang, who was about to set off together immediately.

"You have more important things to do."

He said to Qin Manjiang.

Qin Manjiang was about to speak when Yan Xiao turned to Abyss and said, "Can you please go with him to find out the latest news about Guanyin Lake?"

Abyss was silent and nodded, agreeing to the matter.

Shen Ku smiled and patted Qin Manjiang on the shoulder: "He finally said one of the few good words. Your time now should be spent investigating Guanyin Lake. As far as I know, that place is well-known to everyone for its weirdness. The reputation is as good as your hometown, Xiajiang Village."

"And five days later it will be January 22nd, which happens to be the Spring Festival. It is probably not a coincidence that [Tongjie] set the time on that day." Xia Nan also added.

Qin Manjiang was speechless.

He knew that it was useless to say anything now. After all, he did not have a car. If these people were determined not to take him there, there would be nothing he could do.

"Don't worry, this is in the real world, call me if you have any questions." Shen Mu made a call gesture with his right hand, turned around, opened the door, and got in the car.

There is indeed no time to delay now. It is almost four o'clock now, and it will be at least six o'clock when we arrive to watch the Little Double Ninth Festival. At this time of year, it is almost dark at six o'clock.

Zhong Xueran's matter was obviously extremely urgent, and he had to get there as soon as possible.

Xia Nan, Shen Kui, and Yan Xiao immediately set off to the northwest of Fucheng.

Only Qin Manjiang and Shenyuan remained in place.

After Qin Manjiang watched their car disappear, he turned his head and glanced at the abyss: "Let's go too."

————

After leaving the club by the river, Qin Manjiang did not rush to the direction of Guanyin Lake immediately.

Instead, let Shen Yuan drive back to Qingtong Bar first.

Along the way, Abyss seemed to want to say something to him, but hesitated several times.

Qin Manjiang looked at the car window: "Just tell me if you have anything to say, you're welcome."

Although it is not dark yet, it is raining today and the sky is already gloomy. At this moment, the vehicles passing by on the road have already turned on their headlights, shining on the delicate raindrops. The raindrops on the car window glass blur the light, making it hazy and mottled. Only the faint shadow of the city can be seen.

"Why do you believe me so much?" Abyss's voice was very low, so low that it didn't fit the character of "Qin Manjiang" at all.

The "Qin Manjiang" he plays at this moment should be a character who has been set in all aspects. He will not be ecstatic, sad, disappointed, or hesitant. All his emotions are just plain, and all his expressions are Just mediocre.

But... Qin Manjiang clearly felt the depression in Abyss at this moment.

"Why...I don't know. Maybe we share the same problem."

Qin Manjiang stretched out his fingers and wrote on the fog on the car window.

He first wrote a one, then added a stroke vertically, making it ten.

"Before I got to know you, I had a lot of guesses. For example, you were one of the top ten people in Moon City with a certain one-character code name, or you were Jiang Du himself. So... for a long time, I did have feelings for you. No small amount of malice.”

"But...then I discovered that you are just yourself, not them, and not me."

Qin Manjiang retracted his fingers and closed his eyes:

"I know what you want to ask. How can a fleshly doll that is not even a substitute now have its own consciousness and self-understanding? Right?"

Without waiting for his answer, Qin Manjiang said to himself:

"In the beginning, I wasn't even confused. All my actions were subconscious."

"Subconsciously, I obeyed the values ​​set in my body. After realizing this, I subconsciously resisted, not wanting to become like Jiang Du."

"But I won't be anyone but Edu."

"[Qin Manjiang]'s personality and thoughts have been a weakened version of Jiang Du from the beginning. When I didn't want to become Jiang Du, I found that I didn't know who I was at all, that is... what [I] should be. Look."

"So, I unconsciously learned, imitated, and clumsily acted every person I met that I thought was good to me. For example... Yang, Xu Yi, Shen Su, Yan Xiao, Zhong Xueran, and even Li Xi... …My personality is all kinds of weird, and I feel awkward.”

"Until one day, I realized..."

"This is me."

Qin Manjiang turned his head and glanced at the abyss, only to see this guy staring at him intently.

"Hey, look at the road! You're driving!"

Abyss turned back and shook his head: "I don't understand."

Qin Manjiang breathed a sigh of relief. He still had so much to do. If he had to deal with a car accident, that would be a real shame.

"Because you...me, we don't have an infant stage," Qin Manjiang gave an explanation that made the abyss even more puzzling. "A human baby is a blank sheet of paper from the moment it falls on the ground. But we are different. We start from As soon as we are born, certain fixed values ​​are set, and those values ​​will subtly affect our behavior and thoughts as we grow up, turning us into the person we are destined to be."

"My reservation...is Jiang Du, and your reservation...is me."

"So, we are not a blank piece of paper, we are a piece of paper filled with characters. Why I am willing to tell you this now is because you have also realized that... you are not [the abyss], you are you, You gave birth to [my] consciousness.”

"Although we are still very immature, from the moment [my] consciousness was born, we have truly become a blank piece of paper. In other words... we have turned over the paper that was originally filled with characters."

"Human babies have started imitating behavior since they were born. The first object of imitation is the mother. From the first imitation, it will grow with the human body until it becomes a person with independent thoughts."

"But we... started imitating after we had [my] consciousness, so... Yang is me, Li Xi is me, Shen Ku is me, Xu Yi is me, Yan Xiao is me, Jiang Du It's me, Zhong Xueran is me, Qin Yiyi is me...including you, it's me too."

"My imitation started from the moment I became aware of [me]. I unconsciously imitated everyone I was interested in. So, you don't have to hide your confusion."

"Imitation is the first step in life."

"That piece of paper is the background of our character. Any outline on it will create a brand new you, so..."

"Except for the data you set, which is [Qin Manjiang]'s data, who is the person who impressed you the most and interested you the most?"

Qin Manjiang looked at him and asked such a strange question.

It's like a parent asking a child who has just entered kindergarten which classmate in the class they like best.

He was silent for a long time and then slowly said a name: "Dr. Yi..."

It's him again... The obvious title of doctor forced Qin Manjiang to connect him with the "doctor" who gave Jiang Du's relics to him.

However, before Qin Manjiang could think deeply, another name slowly came out of his mouth.

Just this name gave Qin Manjiang goosebumps.

"Xu...yi..."

His eyes were dull, as if he didn't know why he said this name.

However, in a daze, Qin Manjiang felt that this figure looked familiar!

He...the abyss...

He is the person created by Dr. Zhou. In "Seven Children", his body can trigger the "touching the corpse" reaction.

In other words, he himself was made from a corpse.

This person...this person who is driving a car, could it be that...

Xu Yi’s body? !
