Chapter 357: Goodbye Angel
The next day, inside the Shell Street apartments. Chen Xiao woke up early, went into the bathroom to clean himself, got dressed, and twisted the handles of the idle and boring pots and pans in one direction, stood up, sat down, in short, seemed to be preoccupied.
In fact, he didn't sleep much after tossing and turning all night, although he tried his best to hide his excitement, raised his style, and told himself in a high-profile manner: "Isn't it just to get back your memory, what's the big deal!" "But in the end, he was defeated.
Yesterday, after leaving C-211 and Eyeball Jun in the Insurgency's base, the postman sent everyone back to his home, and as for Chen Xiao, of course, he was yelling to wake up C-211 so that he could regain his memory......
But after all, after such a long time of action, everyone's spirits were tense to the limit, and the postman also told Chen Xiao that he needed some preparation work before this, and there was no way to start immediately, so he could only wait at home for another day.
The sun gradually climbed up, and just when Chen Xiao was anxious to scold the street, the postman finally appeared with a pop.
"Ready!" He said briefly, grabbing Chen Xiao's wrist.
The latter didn't move, only felt that the scene in front of him was a slide switch, and he came to the base of the insurgency.
All of the people who acted together yesterday and the eyeball-kun were scattered near the computer called "Aniak", huh...... It seems that there is no nurse in sight, but there are more Qiu Mujin and Ah Ming in the crowd. Not far away, the steel coffin stood quietly, C-211 still with his eyes closed, and it didn't look like it had changed from yesterday. Everyone seemed to be waiting for something, until Chen Xiao appeared, and all eyes turned to this side in unison.
"Waiting for me?" Chen Xiao asked knowingly, and his eyes were already looking at Ah Ming and Qiu Mujin without hesitation.
"Of course, and as far as I'm concerned, this day has been a long time coming." Qiu Mujin said lightly.
"Uh...... So, are you really a member of the Raven Order? And me too? But I remember the first time you came to see me as a writer...... You've asked a lot of questions, and I don't think you seem to know me. β
Qiu Mujin nodded: "Yes, I really can't get you, but this is because you don't know much about the organization of 'Raven', it is not like the Foundation or the Insurgency, all people gather together and have a common goal; I didn't know who you were before the Dimensional Manifestation Proposal, but each of us had our own thoughts, whether it was to save the world, or we were committed to enslavement or destruction, or we were more likely to do nothing and do what we thought was interesting every day. That's who we are. β
"Huh?" Chen Xiao looked pained: "In other words, any of us have it, what kind of organization is this, if we all do our own things, it would be good to disband, why do we have to make one that seems to have something to do with it." β
"I thought so too, but we've passed it down in such a mess for thousands of years, and I think it's probably to let each other know who is qualified enough to be their allies in some special circumstances...... Or the enemy. β
"Okay." Chen Xiao hung his head, looking defeated: "Then how did this ghost organization survive, you have to find a successor, don't you." β
"Each raven will have its own card, just give it to the person you think will inherit you and tell him that you will be a raven from now on."
"Huh? Is that okay? It feels like he's joking, so I'll give the card to my downstairs fat house now, and he'll be the next raven? Chen Xiao shouted a little unacceptably.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Mujin nodded: "Yes, and it is said that many people have done this in the past, and some people even died without looking for a successor, but the process of time is extremely magical, and it seems that in the end, these cards will return to the most suitable person...... Over time, it will always evolve into the result it wants, whoever it wants or not. Well, I know you have a lot of questions. About the raven, about your so-called plan, about the causes and consequences of a lot of things, but that's too cumbersome for me to explain, and you won't necessarily believe it anyway, so ...... Ask yourself. β
Chen Xiao shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, that's exactly what I wanted, then...... To get started, what do I need to do? Beat up this old man? Let him spit out my memories? Chen Xiao said, already gearing up.
Suddenly...... A voice came from behind him.
"Don't bother, I'll help you ......"
Chen Xiao's expression changed, and then he actually smiled: "Hehe, I knew it was like this." As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the "Angel Sister" behind him. At this moment, the other party is sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a white dress, and on both sides of the wheelchair, there are several shelves for hanging bottles in the hospital, and the internal organs on them are put into a bag full of liquid, swaying with the progress of the wheelchair. The pair of vascular wings did not spread, but converged obediently, entrenched in her own lap, and above that, she held a glassware with a brain full of electrodes.
And the ...... pushing the wheelchair Exactly the nurse.
"Hi...... It's been a long time, and it seems that blessings such as good health don't have the slightest effect on you. Chen Xiao seemed to have prepared a greeting.
And the others are naturally not as calm as Chen Xiao, because the body in front of them is too terrifying, so no matter how many times they have seen it, they still can't accept it. But the nurse is okay, because her body has not been dismantled like this back then.
"Yes, it's that this body is getting worse and worse, if it weren't for the nurse sister here, I might have died......" The angel squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, don't enter your dementia mode again, I don't have the ability to read people's minds now, even if I have, I won't bother to use it on you, your mind is too chaotic, and it is more difficult to extract that useful information in it than to pick glue in egg whites, Now my body can't handle that intense work. β
At this time, the eyeball king has already run to the angel sister's side, and the latter also gently caresses its head (eye?). This behavior is very warm, but the appearance of these two guys really makes people feel a little girlish.
Chen Xiao slipped into his pocket: "Oh? So you're not far from death. So why don't you change your body again? Chen Xiao said, and said tentatively in his heart: "The guy behind you is very good, and he also has the ability to heal himself." β
The angel shook his head, "The space I created has been discovered, and thanks to your Foundation, I am trapped in this body and cannot be replaced. β
Chen Xiao listened to the other party's answer, and was slightly puzzled for a while: "Hmm...... Well, whether what you're saying is true or not, so be it for now, so how are you going to get my memories back? β
"Oh, it's pretty simple about this...... When I was still in the Foundation, I happened to see an object in containment, an old book, which recorded a scientific system that was completely contrary to what you call technology, no steam, electricity, or steel, just some different traces outlined in ink, and the route they took was not simply to transform nature for convenience, but to be closer to the origin of this world and their own soul. For me, when I came to this world, I was unfamiliar with any knowledge, so it was natural for me to start learning these things, and it just so happened that there were some of them that could help you. β
As she spoke, she looked at Qiu Mujian on the side: "Can you use your pen?" β
"Of course, but it's not cheap." Qiu Mujin replied as if he had known about it for a long time.
The angel smiled: "Hehe, it's okay, it's not for me." β
As soon as the words fell, the eyeball king walked over to the other party.
Chen Xiao looked at this posture: "Hey, what are you going to do, let me tell you, if you don't explain it this time, I will never let you around me!" β
"Oh? Explain? I can certainly explain it to you. The angel said with a smile, and at this moment the eyeball king had already taken Qiu Mujian's pen, held it in one hand, and came to the box where C-211 was being held in a "one-legged" posture with the other, and began to draw something on it.
"If you follow your original plan, we will organize another 'containment looting', rush to the base of the Foundation's Afro-European joint team, and snatch out a B-class item, which is a sacrificial product of an ancient Mayan civilization that can transfer human memories, but you know, we have just attacked the Pacific Division, and the defenses of the entire Foundation have been further upgraded...... If you go to do something at this time, the consequences can be imagined, and it is not a place where support like the deep sea cannot reach in time, as long as your whereabouts are exposed, there is no possibility of escape. β
Chen Xiao frowned: "What does that mean?" I was left with an unsolvable question for myself? It's also a plan? β
"Of course, it's not incomprehensible, in fact, you were originally going to slowly promote to the A rank, and then you will make a move on this item, you have left a permission in the Foundation's database, and at that time, you will naturally have a chance to get close to it, but ...... You'll have to wait another half a year or so. β
The angel said casually, and Chen Xiao was already unhappy: "Half a year? Cut, I understand this, now I have two paths to choose, the first is: my memory is here, but I can only watch, and I can't get back what belongs to me until half a year later. And the second way is to use these runes the way you do, and you can get your wish right now, right? β
The angel nodded: "That's what it means, but I want to correct it, half a year is a conservative estimate, in fact, it may be longer......"
Chen Xiao raised his eyes: "You already knew my plan, but you still rescued this old man in advance during this time period...... Ahh β
"Whatever you want...... Now the choice is yours, and besides, is this level a conspiracy? You may not know what kind of person you were before, you calculate everything, everyone, you are a real bastard, I even doubt that you took the initiative to participate in the 'Dimensional Manifestation Proposal' is some ulterior motive, you left a message for yourself before the amnestic, you know that what you left behind at that time is all true? You're going to lie to yourself! You're a madman, before and now...... You're the scariest of ravens this time! How do you think we died? How do you think we, the beings of the higher dimensions, have come to have to have a carrier to survive? We were originally the highest beings in this world, but now we have become so embarrassed...... Who do you think did all this? β
The angel said lightly, his hand gently stroking the brain in his arms, like stroking a sleeping cat.
"Yes...... Is that so? Hey...... Ahhh Chen Xiao's slender eyes widened: "Really! It's so much fun! Oh my God! I can't wait, I know, I'm definitely the funniest person, yes, it must be. Hahahaha, oh, I'm sorry, I seem to have lost a bit of a gaffe. Ahem. Chen Xiao suddenly squeaked and screamed, and then quickly reined in a little: "So...... According to you, the separation of your soul from your body should be counted as mine. Hehe, don't you hate me? β
"Hate?" The angel was puzzled for a moment: "Don't speculate about us with the kind of emotions that you humans have, we are abstract, we are concepts, we should not have a body or life in the first place, but since human beings have pulled us into this world, then for us all experiences are a kind of enjoyment, even if pain, death, displacement, being chased, are wonderful...... The only thing we can't accept is doing nothing, because we have to do something, whatever we want. So in a way, I want to thank you. β
"Hmm...... It's hard to understand your thinking...... Hey, hey, or our thinking is too one-dimensional in the established model. But whatever! Chen Xiao said after a while.
At this moment, there was a sound of several "knocks" behind him. Chen Xiao turned his head and saw that the coffin was already densely painted with symbols that he couldn't distinguish at all.....
"Well, it looks like it's done......" the angel said with a smile.
"Soβare you ready?"
