Chapter 476: Eternal Legend
"So you're the source of the unbelievably large amount of money in the Time Game Workshop!" Mr. Z said aloud.
"I can't say that." Teacher Miki said with a smile, "As the founder of Zhao's Spring Cake, I have money, but it is far less than now. It was with your help that I had so much money, so even if it was mine and yours, it belonged to all of us. ”
"With my help?" Mr. Z paused and continued, "Unfortunately, for me, memory is like drawing water with a bamboo basket. No matter how much content you fill in, it will slowly be lost, and eventually nothing will be left. ”
"But even the bamboo basket fetching water is not very empty." Miki-sensei comforted, "Isn't it nice that the walls of the bamboo basket are always in a clean state, even though there is no water left?" What if there were only painful memories of the past? Then there is no memory, but it is a good thing. ”
"In the past, I always thought so. So, that's what I did. Mr. Z whispered, "But now it's different, I need to get my memories back." ”
"Why?"
"I can't tell." Mr. Z looked into the distance of the ice field and said, "I always feel that my health has not been as good as before in recent times. ”
"Really?" Teacher Miki asked with concern, "But you never said that!" ”
"It's not that I don't say it, it's that it's never been before."
"What do you think...... I'm dying? ”
"It's possible." Mr. Z smiled, "That's why I want to get my memories back." You can't just die like this, right? ”
"But you have some scruples, because Qing'er?"
"Yes." Mr. Z said with certainty, "Mr. Miki, you should be the one who knows the two of us the most in the past. Qing'er, she must have something to do with me, right? ”
"That's where the most regrettable thing becomes." Miki said, "Although our relationship is very good, almost to the point where we don't talk about anything, you have always been secretive about your background. ”
"In our 10-year history, haven't we had a single accident?"
“…… Yes. ”
"When?"
"When?" Miki-sensei frowned and recalled, "It was seven or eight years ago. One day we were drinking at the top of the Monkey Tree in the Imperial Capital, and we both drank a lot that day. When sleepiness struck and sleepy eyes struck, I pointed to the unusually small world under the Monkey King Tree and said: I like this kind of place with a view of the mountains, so I built the Spring Cake Building, the third tallest building in the world. But that's all in the past. Although the people in the family wanted to turn the whole world upside down in order to find me, I would never go back. Because I love Time Games, I love my current job, and that's the meaning of my life. When I finished speaking, you rarely sighed: Miki-sensei, congratulations on finding the meaning of life, but where is the meaning of my life? ”
"It's like listening to someone else's story." Mr. Z said softly.
"What? I asked, isn't that what you've been doing? It is your amazing technical support that has allowed us to create such an incredible gaming workshop. Yes, I love it too. You say it out loud, but you always feel that something is wrong, like something is missing in your life. Is it a princess? I asked. What did you say? Suddenly, you stand up like an electric shock! ”
"What did you say?" Mr. Z's eyes widened.
Mr. Miki clearly saw that there were two raging fires in Mr. Z's deep eyes!
"That's right," Miki-sensei said slowly, "that's how you reacted at the time. ”
"Princess? Princess......"
The word princess is like a spell that makes the always calm Mr. Z fall into a state of madness.
"Who is the princess?" Mr. Z asked aloud, his voice unusually clear in the vast ice field.
"Unfortunately, I don't know."
"You, you must tell me." Mr. Z exclaimed, "The princess is like a missing piece in my heart!" ”
"Listen to me."
“…… Good. ”
"How do you know? You question loudly. Know what, princess? I asked. Right! You say it out loud. On the day I met you, you kept thinking about the princess before you fell unconscious, where did the princess go, I, I lost the princess. After listening to my words, you actually poured a whole bottle of spirits into the sky, and then fell into silence, for a long time, for a long time...... It wasn't until the stars were in the sky that you finally spoke. I'm from another world, that's what you say. Well, I nodded slightly. You don't seem surprised at all? yes, I'm not surprised. What you've shown over the years has made me feel like you can do anything. In addition to the incredible amount of knowledge, you also have a godly ability. It would surprise me if you were mortal. Fortunately, you gave the answer, you are from another world. I guess, you're from the future! No, I'm from the distant past. That's what you said at the time. ”
"Far past?" Mr. Z said with some regret, "Even this, I can't remember." ”
"In the past? How could people in the past have such great knowledge of physics? I was very surprised that when I was confused and helpless, in order to better explore the meaning of my life, I once read a little bit of an introductory book on quantum mechanics. But I'm a businessman after all, and I don't know anything about physics, and even simple books for beginners seem to be struggling with me. Once, I casually asked you a question about the uncertainty principle, and you went on and on. You know what, not only does you go much deeper than I understand, but even more so than the book? In the face of my question, you sighed deeply: After all, I built it with the strength of the whole country. What do you mean? I asked out loud. It's a pity you didn't answer. ”
"It's a pity, it's a pity." Mr. Z said, "If I had answered you at the time, all the doubts would have been solved." ”
"yes." Miki-sensei also sighed, "But you didn't say it after all. ”
"Did I do anything?"
"For the next few days, you soaked yourself in the National Library of the Imperial Capital. It was dusk when I came out, and you said something meaningful to me in the face of the setting sun. ”
"What?"
"Is people's current knowledge only at this level? You seem disappointed. And then you say: It seems that everything has been reversed, otherwise it would never be this level. In this way, the world is indeed over. ”
"Which world?" Mr. Z asked.
That's what I asked at the time. You look at the slowly descending sunset and whisper: It's that distant past. That's all I know, and you haven't ever drunk or talked to me about your life after that. ”
"Thank you," Mr. Z said, "that's enough." ”
"Yes, the world of the distant past can have a knowledge system that surpasses the modern one," Miki-sensei paused and continued, "Then, it can only be that world." ”
"Then how did Qing'er come to Time Game Workshop?" Mr. Z asked.
"You brought it." Miki-sensei said, "I don't know the details. All I know is that one day when I was drinking in a flying saucer, you brought in a fairy-like girl, and I couldn't believe there was such a beautiful girl in the world. I was drunk, I muttered. Qing'er looked at me and smiled, Hello Teacher Miki, my name is Xiao Qing. From then on, this Miss Xiao Qing is our colleague, you introduced. Okay, great. I couldn't contain the joy in my heart, it was like a dream. Welcome. I was even incoherent, and I actually poured Qing'er a glass of wine. This, this is the welcome drink. I shuddered, and when the glass was gone, I realized that it was not good, how could there be a wine to welcome a girl? But Qing'er didn't show any displeasure, and she drank the glass of wine generously. Xifeng wine, Qing'er said softly, 1915. ”
"It's not normal." Mr. Z said.
"Yes, things are really not normal when you look at them individually, but when you put everything together, everything is normal." Miki said.
"So, is Qing'er a princess?"
"Quite possibly," Miki-sensei said, "have you ever seen a girl like this before?" ”
"Yes." Mr. Z blurted out.
"What?" Miki-sensei's eyes widened.
"I, I don't know what I'm talking about, just subconsciously." Mr. Z thought for a moment and said, "Are we not the only two who came here from that ancient world?" ”
"Where did you get this game?" Miki-sensei asked suddenly.
"Birdman Market."
"It's the only way to go." Miki-sensei muttered, "It seems that part of the truth was left there. ”
"But it's useless." Mr. Z said, "I dug deep into the Birdman market and didn't find anything special other than this game. ”
"How's that legendary Miss Lili?" Miki-sensei asked.
"She's like an eternal legend."
"What do you mean by that?"
"After all, it's more than 200 years ago, and everyone who saw her should be dead."
"What about herself?"
"Nobody knows." Mr. Z exclaimed, "She's not in the Birdman Market. ”
"So you've been to the Birdman Market?"
"Yes," Mr. Z nodded, "I've been to Miss Lili's bedchamber, and it's been an extremely difficult journey. There are many traps, and there is a lot of fog, and I almost lost it with my skills! ”
"In the end, you still didn't get anything?"
"There is still Miss Lili's body fragrance left in the dormitory, but when the building is empty, I really don't find anything except this game placed on the bed."
"Then it's not for nothing." Miki-sensei said, "Maybe everything is written in this game. ”
