Mo Yuan was really taken aback, and finally understood the reason for the indescribable sense of incongruity when he stepped on the shore before—the strangeness of the new environment, and the intimacy of the lake in front of him inadvertently and subconsciously.

Mo Yuan looked around and couldn't help but think of the scene when Wu Xin first traveled to AA University, and the Xingyue Lake he saw at that time was no different from the lake in front of him, except that it felt more comfortable.

"Isn't that the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake?" Mo Yuan found the pavilion at the tip of the lake in the distance, and thought to himself, "I remember that the pillars of the pavilion were engraved with undeciphered inscriptions, and one of the pillars had the same inscription as the one on the stone slab under the sea, but it was interpreted as telling astronomical knowledge. ”

"You've been looking at that pavilion, why don't we go and see it, and I'll lead the way, and be your guide for free?" said the woman, "Anyway, I don't want to jump into the lake for the time being, it's a dead night, and it's boring." ”

"I'm really flattered to have you as my guide, Dean. ”

"Anyway, you can save my life, so you don't have to be polite. ”

The two went to the Lake Pavilion in the distance together.

En route.

"You just said 'AA Academy'?" Mo Yuan confirmed.

"Yes, is there a problem?" the woman was a little puzzled, "Located in the southwest corner of City A, AA College, which specializes in ancient languages and writing, is quite famous in the country. You don't even know?"

"Maybe I haven't recovered from the experience at the bottom of the lake just now," Mo Yuan explained, "So, I couldn't react to AA College for a while, and I felt unfamiliar, and I always felt that AA University was more familiar, maybe it was my delusion." ”

"Ha, your delusion is quite accurate, it is better to be intuitive, AA College, which has received approval from the Federal Department of Education, is about to expand into AA University, and next year, that is, in 2090, if I am still alive, I will be the first president of this university. The woman responded.

"The university was formerly a faculty specializing in ancient languages, and the dean of the faculty was the kind of 'genius codebreaker' I mentioned, and she was a woman. Later, when the college was expanded into a university, she became the first president and the only female president in the university's history. When he visited Wang Cheng of AA University for the first time, Wu Xin's words about the history of the school echoed in Mo Yuan's mind at this moment.

"I think you're going to be the president of this new university. Mo Yuan said confidently.

"Oh, are you sure I'm not going to kill myself by jumping into a lake before I take office?"

"Yes. ”

"Why?"

"Instinct it. ”

Mo Yuan's words after Wu Xin echoed in his mind, "It's a pity that in the same year that she became the principal, she committed suicide by jumping into the lake, as for the reason, there are different opinions. Hey, it's really jealous. ”

"After becoming the principal, did you choose to leave this world after all?" Mo Yuan asked himself, "Is this fate?" and I am just a small pebble thrown into this long river of fate, although I can make some small waves, but I can't change its flow after all. ”

"Why do you look like you're so lost?" the woman asked, puzzled, "I'll live well and become the first president of this university, but as you said, you should be happy, right?"

"I lost it because I couldn't remember the memories I had before I fell into the lake. Mo Yuan explained.

"Don't be in a hurry, it'll surface. The woman comforted, "Memory, that's it." ”

"Hmm. ”

Am I going back in time? No, time travel has never been realized, at least not officially.

Or.

Someone built a "theater" for me in the real world to simulate the past, and I also deliberately chose an actor who looks like Wu Xin, but why did I do this?

Or or.

I'm in a dream constructed by the experience system? But who designed and developed the content of this dream? The woman in front of me, if it is a virtual person simulated by a program, I categorically don't believe it, but if it is a real dream participant, is her memory affected by drugs and hypnosis before entering the dream? In other words, she is an ordinary customer, and she really doesn't know that she is in the dream, and only because of her own reasoning, she begins to doubt the world itself, or- Like me, she can freely access dreams, without the need to be injected with drugs or hypnosis, and her memory is completely unaffected, if so, she should have known that the world she is in is a dream, then, those scenes of jumping into the lake to commit suicide are just acting at the behest of others.

"Wu Xin, Xiao Feng and I, after the three of them took the pill, I don't have a clue what happened. I woke up, after a lot of twists and turns, and my memory was damaged, I came here—the real past, or the real world that simulated the past, or just another dream, or did I not wake up at all?" Mo Yuan felt that if he continued to think like this, he would only let himself fall into the whirlpool of thinking, unable to extricate himself, and there was no benefit, so he stopped thinking about these things for the time being.

"You look confused. The woman asked.

"Drink too much lake water," Mo Yuan joked, "but I really have a point of confusion." ”

"What does the lake have to do with it? Haha, tell me about your confusion. ”

"You are very much like a woman I know......"

"It's Wu Xin in your mouth when you rushed out of the water before, right?"

"Yes", Mo Yuan affirmed, "how should I describe this similarity......

"Twin sisters?" the woman quipped.

"Perhaps. ”

Mo Yuan knew in his heart that Wu Xin and this woman could not be twin sisters, they were people of different eras. The real world is the year 2117, and this world is still in the year 2089.

"Could it be?" Mo Yuan suddenly realized something, as if he had discovered a new continent.
