Chapter 41: The Powerless God
Hugo's train of thought was disrupted by the appearance of the illusory object of memory, the self-proclaimed agent of Thirteen, formless and insubstantial, but according to it, it had been dormant in his body for a very long time, even longer than Dicard's soul.
So now I am recovering my memory not only because I think I am empathetic with Sayuri's memory, but also because this memory implanted in my body also allows me to see more content.
Thinking of this, Hugo understood why he was able to see so many memories that were neither his own nor seem to belong to Sayuri.
Hugo frowned slightly, "Even so, I wonder why you are here now?"
The memory said: "Your nerves are sometimes really sensitive to the extreme, and the existence of everything in the world does not have to have any special meaning, I think therefore I am, it's as simple as that." ”
Hugo looked at the memory like a candle with a blank expression, he didn't believe in such a coincidence, and Hugo, who had regained his memory, was also full of doubts about more things in the world.
"I don't blame you if you question the way or when I appeared, I wouldn't have been there unless something special happened. ”
Hugo raised an eyebrow, waiting for the memory's explanation.
"Sayuri has taken the risk of sharing memories with you, but she still overestimates her mental ability, and she can't stabilize it while building a shared world, although she has always struggled to support, but the gap in strength can't be made up by any amount of effort. ”
Hugo frowned, his mind was still very chaotic in the fantasy world, and one memory after another made him unable to distinguish the specific direction of time, and could only vaguely estimate it.
For Sayuri, Hugo only remembers that the last time he saw her was in the rain of ruins, and finally he entered the world of his own memories completely, remembering everything that happened to Thirteen and himself.
The memory said: "The world built by Sayuri has collapsed, and now it is estimated that she herself is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, if you continue like this, I am afraid that both of you will be lost in this stream of memory." ”
Hugo said: "You mean... Will we never wake up again?" is now like a big dream, recovering his memory in the dream, and if he is completely trapped in the dream, he will become a vegetative person who will sleep forever.
The memory flickered as if someone were nodding yes.
"So in order to prevent you from getting into such a predicament, I showed up, maybe in a more abrupt time, but to ensure your safety. ”
Hugo said, "You're going to take me out of here?"
The memory said, "I'm part of Thirteen, and you think I'm going to hurt Nima?"
Hugo's words obviously questioned the memory, and the other party directly pointed out his own position, thus dispelling Hugo's concerns.
Yes, Thirteen can be the enemy of everyone in the world, but how can he hurt Zero?
Hugo never questioned this.
After a moment of silence, Hugo said: "I still want to stay here for a while, although my memory has been restored, but there are many things I want to experience again, so maybe I will not forget..."
The memory body seemed to smile bitterly and said: "Why bother, it's good to have experienced the world, and another experience is just another torture." ”
"I insist. Hugo said firmly.
The memory did not continue to contradict Hugo, saying to him: "When you are tired of remembering and want to leave here, call me, I will try to bring you back to reality, but I advise you not to dwell too much on the past, after all, it is a reality that has happened and cannot be changed." ”
Hugo nodded and said to the memory, "Why did Thirteen keep you in my body?"
The memory smiled and said, "Maybe she had expected this day to come." Hugo was silent.
The memory body flashed like a spiritual fire, and disappeared into Thirteen's body in the world of memories.
The world is like a movie that has been paused, and the play button is activated again, and it starts to move again with the turn of the hour hand.
...
ZERO SLOWLY OPENED HIS EYES, HIS PREVIOUSLY PALE FACE TURNED ROSY, AND HE LOOKED THE SAME AS HE HAD BEEN IN GOOD HEALTH.
Energetic, ZERO stretched his body well, and then saw Thirteen, who was also sitting next to him, Thirteen's face was pale, much better than before.
"Thirteen...", ZERO whispered to him as he hurried up to him.
Thirteen woke up faintly after hearing the soft call, and smiled at ZERO, "You're awake." ”
Thirteen's concern made ZERO's heart sour, and tears almost fell.
Thirteen stroked ZERO's face and said, "Don't worry, things are over as expected, and it's going a lot smoother than expected." ”
ZERO SAID, "THAT'S WHAT MADE ME... Become a god?"
Thirteen nodded, "You're a god now?"
"BUT I HAVEN'T CHANGED," ZERO WHISPERED, PUZZLED.
Thirteen said: "The angel cannot show his strength in the heavenly kingdom full of miracles, and can only be admired by thousands in the mortal world." The word God is not necessarily for the world, and it may be only human beings who recognize God. ”
ZERO was a little confused, but after a closer look, he understood the meaning of Thirteen's words.
He has become a god in the eyes of others.
Thirteen smiled, "So, go back." ”
Back in the mortal world, ZERO is a god!
ZERO grabbed Thirteen's palm and said, "Okay, let's go back together." However, he suddenly sensed that Thirteen's palm was like an ice stone in the cold winter, and ZERO subconsciously let go of Thirteen's palm.
Thirteen smiled and shook his head, "I'm sorry ZERO, you have to go back by yourself, I need to stay here." ”
"Why! Let's go together!" ZERO said excitedly, stepping forward to grab Thirteen's palm again, but Thirteen dodged him.
Thirteen shook his head helplessly and said, "Now is not the time to be willful, ZERO, I can't leave here, the laws here only allow those who have the ability to leave, and I don't have that ability now, so I can only stay here." ”
"What kind of ability is that, why do I have it and you don't?" asked ZERO, confused, and then realized, "Could it be that you passed that ability on to me?"
Thirteen shook his head and said, "There has never been any ability that belongs to me, I said that power belongs to you, everything is the fortune of fate, for this we can only choose to be respectful." ”
Zero had something else to say, and Thirteen said, "I understand your feelings, and I'm grateful for it, but if you really want to save me, you can only get out of here first, look for a solution outside, and listen to me, get out of here!"
