Chapter 52 Memory
After learning about the backtracking, Gao Qingzhu learned that what he said about "hanging his last breath" meant that he used his ability to go back and constantly restore his memories to the state before he died.
Since this is the case, then Mo Shaoyan's matter is much easier to explain.
Remembering keeps people seeing their former selves, and the longer they go, the more they see them, and the more they see them, the more they stop until they die.
And Mo Shaoyan hadn't seen him for a while before, and then another him suddenly appeared at home, presumably because it happened to be backtracked at that time.
"How did Memory die? Where is he? Gao Qingzhu asked, and Banzai listened quietly on the side.
"He is more than 300,000 years old and has died of old age. It's a pity that I don't know where he is, so I can only use my backtracking ability to help him constantly. The retrospective eyes were gloomy.
"Alien creatures die of old age?"
"Absolutely." Retrospectively answered Gao Qingzhu's question, "Don't look at me in the eyes of ordinary people, I am only thirty or forty years old, but I am more than 100,000 years old." ”
Maybe it was too long, Gao Qingzhu couldn't understand what the concept of more than 100,000 years or more than 300,000 years was, but when she thought that there was a man almost the same age as the world sitting next to her, the curiosity she expressed was still captured by Banzai.
His still cold voice sounded: "You won't want to know. ”
Banzai's eyes were always staring back, he knew that the other party was also a person who had lived for a long time, oh no, alien creature, but compared to himself, he was not very long.
I sympathize with him in my heart, but catching alien creatures is also the job of the Linhai Station to help the Demon Binding Division, and the public and private are also clear.
So he asked, "You really don't know where he is?" ”
Retrospective shook his head: "I really don't know, I'm also looking for him, since he escaped from the Time Stream, he has completely disappeared, and I came to this community entirely because the residents here have been affected by the ability to remember." ”
"Anyway, the Demon Binding Division has increased its efforts to search for alien creatures, so they haven't found Memories?" Looking back, he was curious, after all, he had been hiding from the pursuit of the search order all day long, and with such an intensive search work, he couldn't even catch a strange creature that was about to die.
Should they be said to be incapable? Or should I say that the memory is too powerful?
However, this sentence was not spoken, and if the two of them listened to it and said it to the people who bound the demon division, then he would not be happy.
"It's all like this, then I definitely haven't found it, but I don't know how many people are affected at the moment, if there are too many people, the work of the Demon Binding Division will be troublesome." Gao Qingzhu looked at the retrospective eyes and said, "You have to clean up the mess left by memories, otherwise those ordinary humans affected by memories will almost think that they have some kind of mental illness." ”
Gao Qingzhu is right, if you are not sick, you have to be driven crazy.
Imagine that so many of you suddenly appear around you, don't you feel a little infiltrating?
Go back and remember what would happen if you were caught.
He will be thrown back into the river of time, and in the end he can only wait for death slowly, as his best friend, he doesn't want to see him die, as long as he still has the ability, even if he dies, he will continue to retrace his state, so that Yi can feel the beauty of life.
Thinking of this, this decadent-looking middle-aged uncle actually cried again.
Seeing him crying and crying, Gao Qingzhu wanted to say that he was too different from a man, but when he thought of the things he remembered, he couldn't say some things.
Why don't you look for it at all?
Gao Qingzhu glanced at Banzai who was standing on the side, wanting to see what his reaction was, but he didn't expect that this guy was holding the white booklet and flipping through it at this time, as if he was looking for an explanation of the alien creatures.
Anyway, what is there in this book, is it the information of all alien creatures?
Gao Qingzhu was very curious, she couldn't see that Banzai was so serious, and she actually made notes.
As soon as I wanted to lean over to take a look, the book was closed with a "snap", and then his voice sounded: "You didn't say everything, you can not only trace the state of things, but also trace your memory." ”
As soon as he heard this, Gao Qingzhu didn't understand, what does it mean to go back to memory? Reset the memory?
And the backtracking on the side was also stunned after listening to it, he never expected that he would be pierced by Banzai on the spot.
After all, there are many alien creatures, and they are just like people, each of them is a completely different individual, and their abilities are all different.
Looking back at Banzai with a scrutinizing look, he felt that this young man exuded an unusual aura all over his body, but it was certain that he was just an ordinary person, or else, just run away like this? According to the retrospective, Gao Qingzhu and Banzai are obviously not powerful characters, and it doesn't seem to be difficult to escape.
"I advise you not to think about it." Gao Qingzhu saw his thoughts, "Long live is very powerful, otherwise I wouldn't have called him here, you better explain the matter of retrospective memory, right?" ”
Gao Qingzhu still clearly remembers the subway incident that day, long live's posture and infinite strength are difficult to forget, and he is a ruthless character.
I don't know if I haven't seen it with my own eyes, in his eyes, Banzai is an ordinary human being, a little hairy child, and he would never have imagined that he would be a person who has lived longer than himself.
In this case, let's run away, Retrospection will never leave Yi alone to die of old age, even if his energy is exhausted, Retrospection has made up his mind, unless he dies, he will definitely ensure that Memory lives well.
So without answering Gao Qingzhu's question, he quietly used his ability - memory backtracking.
Gao Qingzhu only felt that his eyes suddenly blurred, everything around him began to shake, the lake began to muddy, the ground meandered and shook, and even the people in front of him twisted and rotated, until the bottom of his heart sank, and he was no longer conscious.
……
The cold wind howled, constantly whipping the girl in the snow, her lips were chapped and bleeding, and her sickly white cheeks lost their due luster under the raging wind and snow.
The cry for help from her throat was swallowed up by the strong wind, and in the vast whiteness, her struggle was like a gravel in the majestic world, allowing reality to polish and destroy it, until it floated to any corner of the world, and she could never be found again.
Under the endless despair, she lost the meaning of life.
Lying in the white snow, she was ready to accept death.
"I promise you, in three years, I will definitely come back." In my ears, familiar voices kept echoing, lingering in this frost valley like ghosts.
The corners of the girl's mouth were raised, revealing a self-deprecating smile, she laughed at herself for being careful all her life, but she was still planted under carelessness, deceived, and used, and in the end she could only end up like this, which is ridiculous!
Chills, disappointments, remorse, complex emotions constantly hit the mind, unbearable pain, just when it was about to crush everything, a voice appeared.
"Come back with me, I won't let you get hurt again."
Suddenly opened his eyelids and disappeared, Gao Qingzhu realized that he had become this girl in the snow.
Suddenly, she remembered who the voice was coming from.
The gentle and magnetic voice is clearly Yan Hua.
But what is this empathy? The girl's despair and hatred seemed to be buried deep in Gao Qingzhu's heart, making her painful and sad.
"I hate you, I hate you......" were the words that burst out of the girl's mouth, weak but determined.
Gao Qingzhu couldn't control it, she could feel that she was in her body, letting the girl in the snow have tears in her eyes, her eyes changed from the original fierce to gloomy, and finally lost her luster under the tyranny of the wind and snow......
……
"Gao Qingzhu! Wake up! Before he opened his eyes, Xu Nanxing's voice came, listening anxiously and worriedly.
Slowly sitting up from the sofa, Gao Qingzhu realized that he was just a dream, and he had arrived at Linhai Station safely at this time.
It's just that dream, the real one is a bit excessive, Gao Qingzhu can even feel his open pores, and there is a faint cold.
She looked indifferent, the fear of waiting for death in the ice and snow did not bring her any emotional fluctuations, only frowned slightly, and then shifted her gaze to Xu Nanxing, who was squatting aside, he was looking at herself, with worry written on his face.
"Are you alright?" Xu Nanxing greeted with concern, and Gao Qingzhu shook his head and said that he was okay.
The two haven't seen each other for a few days, and Xu Nanxing, who was still thinking about when to find a chance to ask her out, can be regarded as extremely missed, and there are many things to say to Gao Qingzhu with uncomfortable feelings, but at the moment the two of them are not alone, just opposite the two of them, there is still a long live.
This light bulb has been sitting here expressionless for nearly half an hour, and the atmosphere is very embarrassing.
"What's wrong with me?" Recalling that he was still in Mo Shaoyan's community before, but he arrived here in a blink of an eye, Gao Qingzhu was puzzled, "By the way, what about the backtrack?" ”
"He ran away." Hooray replied.
Xu Nanxing: "Long live told me, saying that you encountered a backtrack, and he used memory backtracking to trap you, but he escaped." ”
"What is memory backtracking?" Gao Qingzhu asked again.
"It can make people trapped in previous memories, but the time is very short, usually not more than an hour, and after the time will soon return to reality." Xu Nanxing explained.
"Is that a memory?" Incomprehensible, Gao Qingzhu recalled that "dream", the excessive realism made it difficult for her to distinguish the real from the fake, and the biting cold wind and the touch in the snow were almost immersive.
But if it is really a memory as Xu Nanxing said, then how to explain this past that obviously does not belong to Gao Qingzhu?
Have you forgotten something very important?
Gao Qingzhu did not say the above, but chose to keep it in his heart, intending to digest it slowly.
"What about backtracking? Are you going to look for him in the future? She wanted to know where the backtracking was going, and she wanted to ask if it was her memory.
Seeing that her expression changed slightly, Xu Nanxing said: "I have already reported this matter to the Demon Binding Division, and we will pay more attention to it here." ”
As soon as the words fell, Banzai's mobile phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone: "Su Mu, what's wrong?" ”
It was Su Mu who called, and his expression had not changed, and Gao Qingzhu and Xu Nanxing couldn't read anything from his expression.
"Okay, I got it." After only listening to Banzai finally saying only one sentence, the phone was hung up.
He looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Su Mu said that the Demon Binding Division found Yi, but it's a pity that ......"
Seeing that Banzai paused and didn't say any more, Xu Nanxing hurriedly asked, "What is a pity?" ”
"It's a pity that Memory is dying, and he begged the Demon Binding Division not to capture the backtrack back to the Time River, and said that he didn't want to see the backtrack again."
"Where do you remember now? Demon Binding Division? Gao Qingzhu asked.
Banzai nodded: "It should be locked up in a place where the ability of alien creatures can be blocked, so that he can no longer be affected by the ability to backtrack." ”
"He doesn't want to live anymore? Looking back to help him continue his life, shouldn't he be thanked? Xu Nanxing didn't understand.
Gao Qingzhu said helplessly: "Because sometimes it is more painful to live than to die." ”
While saying this, Gao Qingzhu kept staring at Xu Nanxing, what she wanted to know was that Xu Nanxing might not live to be thirty years old, but he only had a short lifespan of several decades, was he happy to live?
