Lin Sen followed Chenguang for more than twenty minutes, passing through bars, restaurants, bakeries, and shoe shops, passing through these tranquilitys, and also feeling the restlessness behind this tranquility.

Lin Sen remembered Chenguang's advice, did not talk to anyone, and did not look at anyone.

His gaze scurried over the city and the crowd, and finally landed on a very dilapidated pitch-black gate.

It was a dilapidated house forgotten in the middle of the intersection, and Lin Sen and the others were standing in front of the door outside.

But such a dilapidated house dared to be blatantly built on the road leading to the palace, and it was still in the middle of the road.

Lin Sen looked at this dilapidated house that seemed to fall down at any time, and everyone who passed by but still paid tribute to it, and the doubts in his heart reached a peak.

Men take off their hats, women bow slightly, no exception.

Curiosity tickled annoyingly in Lin Sen's heart.

What kind of place is this? Lin Sen frowned.

Chenguang stepped forward and knocked on the door, followed three steps back, and motioned for Lin Sen to step back as well.

Then in Lin Sen's expectant eyes, the room only squeaked and opened its broken mouth.

When the door opened, a man came out of the room, covered in black robes, revealing only a pair of beautiful blue eyes, and carrying a delicate lantern even in the city-state where there seemed to be no night.

The flame in the lantern emitted a faint blue halo, which was very dazzling, but Lin Sen noticed something strange, that is, the luster did not reflect the shadow.

After seeing this black-robed man, Chenguang folded his hands and bowed slightly, as a sign of courtesy.

Lin Sen saw it in his eyes, and when the black-robed man looked at him, he also learned to bow and salute him.

The black-robed man also bowed slightly, and then held the lantern aloft.

When Lin Sen looked over suspiciously, Chen Guang approached the hand that grabbed him and whispered, "Close your eyes, remember, don't open your eyes no matter what you hear, until I let go!" ”

Lin Sen closed his eyes with doubt.

Then, the noise of the crowd began to thicken, so dense that Lin Sen felt as if he was in the middle of the city.

And as the complexity of the voice expanded, the quarrel and anger began to fill Lin Sen's mind, and it felt very tormenting.

However, Lin Sen forcibly endured it.

Until, all the sounds seemed to suddenly disappear, and curiosity made Lin Sen almost open his eyes, but the pain in his wrist made him realize that it was not over.

His eyes were still closed, and it didn't take long for the silence in his ears to be broken, and the familiar melody slowly and logically burst in.

Is that......

The sound of a piano? Lin Sen trembled in his heart.

His fingers involuntarily followed the notes up and down, even though the familiar tune was not played by him. But out of his love for music, Lin Sen's dusty past is showing signs of awakening.

"Lin Sen?"

Sound?

Familiar sounds? Lin Sen had a hazy feeling that he couldn't distinguish.

Is it over?

I tried to feel my wrist, and it was empty, as if Tatsuko had let go of his hand.

After a little hesitation, Lin Sen decided to open his eyes.

But when he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting in front of a piano, with no sheet music, only the lights and the breath of the stage.

Of course, there are countless double bated gazes from the audience.

Lin Sen watched his fingers throb between black and white, and his body was expressing emotions with the ups and downs of the movement.

The audience, some of them closed their eyes drunk, and some of them looked at the boy on the stage with adoring amazement.

Under the stage, a little girl lay quietly in front of the stage, she turned her head sideways and held her face in her hands, watching the boy's performance in fascination, and behind her, there were three other people.

A teenage girl with a little boy and a little girl.

The little boy is very amused, and the little girl is immersed in the music with her eyes closed, her face serious, and she holds her violin and jumps her fingers to the notes.

The girl looked at the boy on the stage with her left hand on her cheek, her eyes full of pampering.

"What is this?" Lin Sen panicked to find that he was actually overlapping his own memory, and he couldn't control this memory, so he could only relive it as clearly as a bystander.

The familiarity conveyed by the gradually high-pitched movement made Lin Sen even more ambiguous.

What's going on? Could it be because I opened my eyes unexpectedly?

Where is this?

Why do you want me to see it again!?

Lin Sen's panic turned into anger, and instead of being relieved to see his family and his younger self, he felt bitter and disgusted because of the ending of this memory!

Because it was at the end of this performance that bad news struck, and he lost his brother and mother forever.

Stop it! Lin Sen tried his best to stop the performance, returning to a painful memory is as torturous as revealing a scar for anyone, Lin Sen closed his eyes, trying to find his true self and get rid of the torment of the nightmare.

But no matter how hard he tried, it only felt clearer and more real.

Even in the end, he had even gradually forgotten about a series of things such as following Chenguang into the Dusk City-State.

Driven by the movement, in the excitement one after another, Lin Sen's fingers felt the keys, his heartbeat began to accelerate, and his breath began to be heavy.

Until, just before the curtain came down, the familiar pain finally came from the wrist.

Then, a sharp stinging pain pierced Lin Sen's mind, and the drowning pain spread, and Lin Sen coughed violently and fell to the ground.

After a while, Lin Sen finally recognized the eager voice in his ears.

It was Chenguang's noisy voice......

Lin Sen opened his eyes, and before he could see the world clearly, his ears were stuffed.

"Stinky boy! Wake up! Wake up! If you don't wake up, I'm going to give you artificial respiration! Chen Guang said, "Hey", and then as if he had made a great sacrifice, he pouted and kissed Lin Sen.

Lin Sen was shocked and slapped it without hesitation.

With a crisp "pop".

Chenguang straightened up with a sigh of relief, extremely aggrieved.

Lin Sen finally woke up from the nightmare, he held his forehead, straightened out the complicated worldview, and then looked around.

As a result, when he saw not far away, another self in the mirror, was also looking over.

Lin Sen hurriedly got up and looked in other directions, there was another self in other directions.

In this world like a maze of mirrors, Lin Sen could hardly determine his location.

It wasn't until he saw the black-robed man, the mysterious place where there was no shadow under the blue light of the lantern, that he suddenly remembered something.

……

"How is it possible to have a world created by light?" The little girl was lying on the bed, her little white feet curled up cutely.

Lin Sen, who was at the head of the bed, pushed the book over to show her.

"You see, it's written here, when Prometheus first met Kui, Kui was very enthusiastic about the guests and invited him to his home, Prometheus narrowly thought it was some kind of architecture, but Kui brought him into a world created by light, where space is no longer a constraint, and time is therefore still, where the studious Prometheus learned all the history of mankind and asked Kui about their civilization, until time came again, he had to say goodbye and start a new era for mankind."

Lin Sen carefully read the entire record.

However, the little girl patted Lin Sen on the shoulder like a little adult and said, "Brother, that's just a legend, the stories in this book are all made up, if you read this to Dad, Dad will definitely punish you for copying the sheet music again!" ”

Lin Sen pouted: "This is given to me by Alya, she said that the official history is a trick to deceive, and these legends are true." ”

"But Arya's words don't make you unpunished." The little girl raised her hand and closed the book.

……

Lin Sen, who had never had such a real memory experience, felt the tingling in his mind again.

Seeing this, Chenguang leaned over and said, "Don't think about it, in Kui's house, time is still, if you keep recalling, you will overlap your personality, and you will die." ”

After Lin Sen was reminded, he didn't dare to indulge his thoughts anymore.

And all the unscientific experiences that I have experienced before seem to have answers......

Is it another Kui?

Will there be a 1+1 this time? Lin Sen's naughty thoughts stinged his mind again.

Don't think about it! Don't think about it!

Lin Sen pondered silently and followed Chenguang behind the black-robed "Kui".

In this completely mirrored world, as Lin Sen's thoughts calmed down, he slowly disappeared in the mirror, replaced by a vast blank space.

This kind of empty realm gives Lin Sen the feeling that it is not empty, but a sense of accommodation.

Walking in this blank world, because there is no concept of time, Lin Sen is completely unaware of how long he has walked, and can only instinctively guess, probably a few minutes, or even days, or even years.

However, all speculation slowly turned into a blank slate.

Until the infinite crosses appeared in the empty world.

The crosses are suspended at a height of about half a meter above the ground, and each one is similar in size.

From a direct view, the crosses were empty, but when Lin Sen walked through them, Lin Sen almost vomited when he turned around.

Because behind these crosses are bound countless broken human beings.

Some of this mutilation is the damage of the limbs, some of the hollowness of the soul, and the blood slides down the cross, but it stands still when it drips.

"These are humans who have failed to evolve, and after being absorbed, Qui has buried them here, and when time returns to this world, they will be sublimated to a state of 'nothing' in an instant. This special funeral can be much more rapid than other forms. Chenguang was already surprised by all this.

When he explained it to Lin Sen, he even had the heart to take a sip of wine.

Lin Sen felt an inexplicable horror, why did Kui do this?

Burying a broken human body in such a way as a cross would look more like sin being judged after death in human perception?

After this kind of question appeared, Lin Sen suddenly understood.

Sins are judged by the body after death? This doctrinal inheritance that was silent in ancient civilizations.

Is Kui copying?

He's learning about humans?! Lin Sen looked at Kui in front of him, and for the first time he had a sense of crisis in his understanding of them.

"1+1 never equals 2" is it...... Lin Sen repeated this sentence silently, his expression turned cold.
