When Chen Xiaolian finished telling everything, the floor in front of Lan Hai was already scattered with cigarette butts that had been stepped on.

"You mean...... I used to have the same weird abilities as you? And I've died twice?"

"Stronger than me. At least, until I get the power of the Heavenly Sword. Speaking of this, Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "However, now not only the power of the Heavenly Sword, but even my own strength, is temporarily gone." ”

"So...... What evidence do you have?" Lan Hai pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Regarding what you said, the truth of this world, the development team, the players, the awakened, the loopholes, and...... You used to know me. ”

"Evidence?" Chen Xiaolian smiled: "Mr. Lan Hai, as a soldier of the Celestial Empire, you should be a pure atheist." But you didn't disappear when you died, but you came to this strange place, and you saw me, and those monsters, isn't that enough proof?"

"Not enough. Lan Hai shook his head.

"Okay. Chen Xiaolian also lit a cigarette for himself: "Then, after listening to the next incident, you will believe it." ”

"You say it, and I'll judge naturally. ”

"You know, I'm looking for a girl named Jojo, and she's my girlfriend. But did I tell you what her father's name was?"

Lan Hai frowned: "Your girlfriend, how do I know who her father is?"

Chen Xiaolian stared at the blue sea and said word by word: "Qiao Qiao's father is called Qiao Yifeng." ”

Lan Hai's eyes lit up: "Qiao Yifeng, which Qiao Yifeng?"

"Which other Qiao Yifeng can have?" Chen Xiaolian smiled: "That team you have in Zero City is called Daoshan Fire Sea. The mountain is Qiao Yifeng, and the sea is your blue ocean. ”

Lan Hai was silent for a moment: "What about the knife and fire?"

"The names of both of them, I don't know. Chen Xiaolian spread his hands: "I only know that Tiandao has a son, who is a fat man, and the thunderbolt fire ...... It's a woman. Her sister is Qiao Yifeng's wife, that is, Qiao Qiao's mother. ”

......The cigarette in Lan Hai's hand burned between his two fingers, scalding him, before his fingers trembled, threw away the cigarette butt, and stepped on the floor: "I know." It's Liang Feng and ...... Cui Yunyan. But in my memory, Liang Feng did have a son, but although Qiao Yifeng married Cui Yunyan's sister, until her death, the two did not have a daughter. ”

Chen Xiaolian stretched out a finger and pointed to the top of his head: "I told you before that when the Awakened were dying, those guys in the upper world...... Or the system, which will forge a memory for you, including all the relevant memories of ordinary people related to you. But it's different with loopholers like me and Jojo. When we die, the system completely erases all the memories of us in the minds of ordinary people. ”

"You...... Let's go into more detail. Lan Hai pondered intently, not letting go of every word of Chen Xiaolian.

Chen Xiaolian thought for a while: "Heavenly Sword...... That is, Liang Feng in your mouth, died as an awakened person. When he dies, he will be refreshed as an ordinary person. In his mind, and in the minds of others around him, his experience as an Awakened was completely non-existent, but the system would fabricate another experience of his life as an ordinary person, convincing everyone including himself. But all the Awakened who have been in contact with the Heavenly Sword, such as you, can still remember that he was the Heavenly Sword.

But Jojo is not an Awakened, but a Loophole. After her death...... It's to disappear completely. No ordinary person can remember her anymore, as if this person never existed.

In the final battle of City Zero, you, Mr. Blue Ocean, were also killed. Like the Heavenly Sword, you have been assigned a new identity by the system, a new memory. You can still remember Qiao Yifeng and Tiandao, but in your memory, they are just ordinary people, your former comrades-in-arms. But as an ordinary person, you'll never have Jojo's memories again. ”

Lan Hai lowered his head and pondered for a long time before slowly nodding: "What did you say...... There is no problem logically. ”

"These are all facts, of course there is no problem. Chen Xiaolian smiled.

Lan Hai is a smart person, and Chen Xiaolian knows this very well.

Although these things may be a little difficult for ordinary people to accept. But when Blue Ocean first became an awakener, he also experienced such a truth shock.

Since he had successfully accepted these facts, this time, Chen Xiaolian was certainly confident that he would believe this.

"But...... You just said that you deliberately committed suicide in order to find Old Joe's daughter. Lan Hai suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Xiaolian: "But even if you find her, won't you be able to go back?"

“...... Yes. ”

Chen Xiaolian hesitated for a moment and nodded.

He trusted Lan Hai's character enough, but at this time, in addition to him and Lan Hai, there was a third person in this room.

Lan Hai glanced at Chen Xiaolian deeply, but did not speak.

There was an eerie silence in the room.

"So, what are your plans now?"

Blue Ocean cleared his throat and broke the silence.

"I want to ...... Go to that covenant. Chen Xiaolian glanced at Lu Leiya, who was huddled in the corner of the sofa: "I believe that Qiao Qiao will not join their covenant at will, but it is possible that they will be arrested." At least for now, this is the best odds. ”

Lan Hai thought for a moment and nodded: "This judgment is correct." But don't forget, you just killed two of them. The strong man Lu Leia saw said that whoever killed them, they would definitely kill you. ”

"Who knows?" Chen Xiaolian shrugged: "That thin man and vultures are already dead." Who knows, I killed it?"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course not. Chen Xiaolian laughed: "But the opportunity is enough for me to gamble." The supplies at the end of this world are too scarce, and they refresh every once in a while. These loopholes are all so poor that it is impossible for everyone to carry communication tools with them. Others...... Maybe no one knew that the two were dead. ”

"Okay, then...... How can I help?"

"You?" Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "If you are still the Mr. Blue Ocean I know, of course you can." But...... Don't forget, you're just an ordinary person now. ”

Lan Hai also smiled: "Aren't you the same now?"

Chen Xiaolian quickly glanced at Lu Leiya, who was sitting in the corner and had not made a sound: "We...... Let's go for a walk in the yard. ”

Lan Hai nodded, stood up, and walked in front of Lu Leia: "Thank you for telling us such important information. If you're tired, let's take a break. ”

"Hmm......" Lu Leia nodded, stood up, walked to the door, and when he was about to turn back, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen Xiaolian: "That ......"

Chen Xiaolian looked at Lu Leiya and waited for him to continue, but Lu Leiya just shook his head and barely squeezed out a smile: "It's nothing...... I...... I'm leaving. ”

Lu Leia walked out of the room, closed the door, stood on the path between the lawns, took a deep breath, looked up at the sky for a long time, and slowly squatted down softly.

"We ...... It's true...... Anyway...... Are you doomed to die?"

......

In the backyard, Lan Hai and Chen Xiaolian paced side by side on the lawn.

It's a typical American-style small-town home, with a wide lawn in the backyard, just a little cluttered due to a long lack of construction.

"After that fight with the vultures, you're hurt. Lan Hai said lightly: "Although I don't know how seriously injured it is, if it were you, we wouldn't be so embarrassed when we saw that group of ants in the desert." ”

"That's right. Chen Xiaolian nodded.

"So, I doubt that you really have the ability to rescue Old Joe's daughter on your own now. ”

Chen Xiaolian shook his head: "My injuries are slowly recovering, and all I need is time." And...... I'm not going to clash head-on with that covenant either. When I meet the man in the covenant, I just take it with my hands tied. They're going to imprison me, and I'll always have a chance to see Jojo. ”

"Time, do you have this thing?" Lan Hai thought for a moment, "I still have to go with you." ”

"As I said, you're just an ordinary person now. Chen Xiaolian shook his head firmly: "If something happens, you will die." And, you have other things to do. ”

"What's the matter?"

"These ...... Person. The people of the town. Chen Xiaolian stretched out his hand and drew a circle around: "The cleanup work that those loopholes are doing will be here sooner or later." There is no concealment in this town, and if it is discovered, what do you think will happen?"

Lan Hai sneered: "So, what should I do?"

"Of course, I moved with them. Chen Xiaolian was surprised: "You...... Not going to care about them?"

Lan Hai sighed, sat down on a beach chair next to the lawn, and looked at Chen Xiaolian with a strange look: "So, tell me, where to transfer?"

"......" Chen Xiaolian was speechless for a while.

"Did you know that there are very few environments like this in the world? A piece of grass under the blue altitude gently wound around his fingertips: "The copies around this town are either deserts, Gobi, and even ruins after the war. More than 100 of us have left here, do you think we can still live?"

"Yes, you said that. Chen Xiaolian sighed and nodded.

"Do you remember why I took people to the Manhattan dungeon? The food here is almost running out. Lan Hai said lightly: "This town is not big, there is only one commercial street, and the food in those grocery stores has not been replenished, and it has been about to bottom out in the past few months." At first, we didn't think about the long term, and everyone used it casually. It wasn't until recently that we started pooling food together and starting rationing. But even then, it won't last long. Judging from the current reserves, at most I can eat for another week or so. ”

"There are more than a hundred people here......" Chen Xiaolian frowned: "Even if you brought back those foods before, just such a small amount, I'm afraid you won't be able to last even a day, right?"

"It's a little bit to be able to bring it back. The main purpose is to find a place to migrate. Originally, we thought that a Manhattan copy would be a good choice, but ...... You see, there's a Covenant hunt there, and that kind of monster...... I don't know if there are any remnants alive. ”

"Could it be that you're going to keep them all here and die?"

"Waiting for ...... to die?" Lan Hai raised his head and looked at Chen Xiaolian, with a faint smile on his face: "Aren't we already dead?"

“......”

"I've already died twice, haven't I? When I was in City Zero, I died as an Awakened One and was refreshed into an ordinary person with no previous memories, that's what you told me. And then...... More than a month ago, I died from a bombing point that was triggered in advance during a live-fire exercise, which is what I remember. I was ...... I've lived enough. ”

Lan Hai stood up and let out a long breath: "In Manhattan, you talked to the vultures for a long time, and finally the war started. At that time, you just want to protect me. But...... Since this is just a recycle bin, we have only survived until now because of a bug in the operation of this world. Whether we are killed by the loopholes in the covenant or automatically emptied by the system, our fate is already doomed, isn't it?"

“...... Be. ”

Chen Xiaolian could only nod honestly.

In his previous narration, he deliberately brushed this part vaguely and did not go into too much detail.

But even so, Blue Ocean keenly captures the heart of the matter.

Although it has been refreshed back to ordinary people, the blue ocean of the wise will always be the blue ocean of the wise.

"Moreover, this death is eternal, and it will be completely gone. Lan Hai walked towards the backyard door: "Jojo is the daughter of old Joe, and you are my friend." Although there is no memory of these events at all, I believe it is true. Since it will eventually return to nothing, then ......"

He turned his head and smiled at Chen Xiaolian: "Why don't you just shine one last time before that?"
