Yan Xiu was eventually taken to a room.

The character at the door of the room, the search and rescue team explained to him, but he did not understand.

"Government Advisory Office." The whole phrase is made up of three words, government, consulting, office.

Yan Xiu could barely understand the consultation, but he didn't understand the government affairs and office.

It didn't matter, though, he had been brought here only because the search and rescue team believed that Yan Xiu, or rather, the flown people here, had a clear connection to the station, such as their personal belongings that could unlock the privileges of the place, which most likely meant that they had lived here before, though no one ever remembered it.

There was a flying piece of steel in the room, and Yan Xiu closed his eyes, and could feel that the steel seemed to be some kind of communicative artifact—but he didn't have a responsive spiritual root to control it, or maybe the artifact itself already had an owner.

"It's not a magic weapon," the search and rescue team reminded Yan Xiu, "it's a robot." ”

Machines, people.

Again, this is a completely foreign concept, and it may sound a bit absurd and incredible.

The "robot" glasses in front of him suddenly emitted a faint light, and then a voice appeared from his body, but Yan Xiu didn't see his mouth open and close, as if his mouth was hidden in his stomach, this voice was rough and dull, but I don't know why, it felt so familiar to my ears—but if I thought about it carefully, I didn't understand what it meant at all.

The search and rescue team helped him translate the entire text.

"He's asking you," the search and rescue team said, "do you remember your community number?" ”

Numbers, are numbers, he probably knows, but community, what does it mean?

The robot made a sound again.

"He's asking you, do you remember the civilization you once belonged to?"

Civilization? All Yan Xiu could do was shake his head.

The robot speaks for the third time.

"He asks you if you remember any fragments of your life here, any fragments. This includes, but is not limited to, any form of poetry, music, games, or other information that represents the life scene here. ”

Poetry, music, games...... These words and phrases were like nails, and after they got into Yan Xiu's mind, they could no longer be pulled out, as if they only fit together with some fragments in his mind - but when he tried to capture them, he found that they were just blanks.

At this moment, Yan Xiu felt that he had a lot of things accumulated in his mind, just like the flying sword when returning to the sword, reaching the highest speed, and it seemed that he could hit the enemy who was locked by the divine mind in the next second—but the next second, Yan Xiu found that the enemy had completely disappeared.

When he tried to capture that information again, Yan Xiu seemed to only feel that all the desire to talk at that moment was just some kind of illusion.

Yan Xiu opened his mouth, but in the end he only said: "I don't know ......"

The robot shook its head at him slightly, and the meaning of this action was clear. Then he stretched out a hand, put it in front of Yan Xiu, and said another string of words.

"Would you like to undergo a passive memory scan, which will help me determine your personality identity."

Yan Xiu was a little hesitant.

The rescue team paused: "I think about agreeing in my head, Yan Xiu." ”

Yan Xiu nodded.

The robot stretched out his other hand, which completely wrapped the back of Yan Xiu's head, and then used the hand that was stretched out before to put it very close to his face, without touching it, but Yan Xiu could feel the coldness of the hand in front of him.

Yan Xiu's eyes widened, looking at the hand in front of him, but he subconsciously thought of his Bai Jiao Sword - he suddenly felt that he seemed to understand the meaning of the so-called robot, his body was made of metal, and he had no body temperature and no breathing, but it looked like a person.

After a few minutes, the robot withdrew his hand, and he began to speak, saying so many things that the search and rescue team didn't have time to translate for him.

Knowing that the robot had said all this, Wu Xiaoqing turned his head and said to Yan Xiu: "Things are a little complicated. ”

Yan Xiu heard it, and he felt very difficult to understand when he translated it to him sentence by sentence before, and this time the tirade must be even more so-but he was still ready to listen to it.

"You used to live here, so you're going to feel familiar with everything here," he said.

"Then why don't I remember again?"

"That's the problem," the search and rescue team said, "you've been here for too long, so you don't want to live here anymore, you want to get out." ”

Wu Xiaoqing pointed to the wall of the space station and said, "You think life here is too depressing, you want to go out and live a free life." So among you, there are proposals to forget about life here and to live a whole new way. And then a lot of people did it. ”

Up to this point, all words and practices can be understood.

But the next sentence made him, and Wu Xiaoqing, completely shocked: "But the person who really forgot the past has become a person from another world." Not only do they forget their past lives, but they also distort their own memories and regard those who remain to live as people who are one level below them—they call themselves immortals and call others mortals. ”

"There were fewer and fewer mortals, more and more immortals, and it became a trend that eventually swept everyone. After this, everyone chose to completely forget their experience as mortals - they decided to live forever in the world of immortals, here, the world of mortals, has become a forbidden place. ”

This last paragraph, Yan Xiu is still difficult to understand: "What does Mr. Wu mean? I don't remember my past because of my past...... Don't want to remember? ”

That's what it means. But strictly speaking, it's not that you don't want to, it's that you don't want to — it's a collective act, and as far as you are personal, maybe you are skeptical about it — but at the time, you didn't insist on that skepticism. ”

"Eventually, all of you opted for amnestics and modifications - from now on, all you remember is the fact that you are immortals, and that you once belonged here."

"The reason why you feel familiar here is because all memories are associated with data — some data that can't be deleted is associated here — and you don't need to understand it, you just need to know that the feeling in your head is an illusion and you can't remember it anymore. These memories have been permanently erased. ”

Yan Xiu didn't know what to say.

He had been a mortal, but he had forgotten, completely forgotten. What does it mean to forget? He couldn't figure it out, but it made him feel extremely confused and frightened—as if the world had completely changed all at once.

"Although your memory no longer exists, there are still many fragments of your life in the community at that time, and according to the rules of the community, you have the right to browse these files." The search and rescue team said, asking Wu Xiaoqing to open a menu in his watch, from which he found a large amount of data information that he had just received, he looked at Yan Xiu, and then opened one of them.

It's video.

In the picture, Yan Xiu is still a teenager, and he is in a room, looking carefully at a screen in front of him. The text in it is completely incomprehensible, but the animation is very easy to understand.

What appears on the screen is a galaxy with a star and three planets - Shen Changwen on the side has begun to get excited after seeing the translation of the search and rescue team - this is the history lesson of this civilization, the content of this lesson, the time that happened in the video, more than 3,000 years ago.

On the second planet, civilizations and humans were born, and they lived comfortably, because the whole planet was large in size, there was plenty of food, and they lived well even if they did not develop agriculture. But at this time, at an ordinary sunset, a large flock of iron birds appeared in the sky, fell to the ground, and picked up the people.

A robot appears in the picture, exactly like the robot in front of them, telling people: "A chance to change your destiny is in front of you, choose." ”

They were told that they only had to give the earth and the sky to receive innumerable knowledge, endless life, and infinite joy. Sickness and calamity will leave their lives forever, and each of them will have a long life span of tens of thousands of years.

They couldn't wait to agree. - 99.99 percent, an absolute high vote of approval.

Then, a whole new life appeared, and their entire planet was hollowed out, and they lived in a steel-made city, where they were educated and civilized—and so on for 3,000 years.

That's the whole history of this civilization. From a primitive society, through a transaction, step into the age of galaxies.

But this does not mean that luck, after the progress of the whole society, everyone realizes what the cost of their leapfrog development is.

In the universe, matter is the basis of everything.

They no longer have this foundation, their stars and planets have all been hollowed out and turned into fragile empty shells that do not have a natural gravitational pull. The developers only have enough energy left for them to use for tens of thousands of years, and when this energy is completely consumed, their civilization will inevitably fall into decline.

"Minor civilizations," the search and rescue team said, "are most likely the work of the planet's developers...... They always like to plunder a lot of material energy in the universe in the name of trading. Prior to the X-CC3ZV sub-crisis era, this behavior had been judged by search and rescue teams to be an act of quasi-war against civilization. ”

Looking further back, everything falls into place. The better a life of a hopeless civilization, the more unwilling it is.

There is a kind of rebellion in society - everyone thinks that the current way of life is the life that the civilization that deceived them, set for them, and they need to change this way of life completely.

They don't want to eat here anymore! So the digestive system was transformed.

They don't drink any more of the water here! So a cooling condensate system was designed.

They don't want to sleep in a bed here! As a result, the brain operation mode has been improved, and there is no need to sleep.

And becoming the current flyer and leaving this world completely is what this kind of movement looks like to the end. Everyone chose to forget – stupidity was a much more acceptable option than endless remorse and despair.
