00196 Shattered Illusion
Lin Sen took the fog Huan, and the two of them ran wildly in the snow, and behind them, more and more tired "people" appeared, and these nightmarish things that were no different from xenos let out a low roar in their throats, and chased the two frantically.
However, because their speed was far inferior to Lin Sen and Wu Huan, they were quickly obscured by the heavy snow, and they could only vaguely hear the sound behind them. But Lin Sen and Wu Huan didn't stop, they continued to run forward until they ran out of the park and returned to the street of their memory.
Finally there, the roar behind him was gone, and everything was calm.
Did the performance have any effect?
Obviously, there is, but there is a little difference from the result that Lin Sen imagined, because the rescue he was expecting did not arrive in time, which made Lin Sen's confidence at the beginning a little collapsed, he locked his eyebrows, and carefully recalled the problems in the whole melody.
Memories are a continuous labyrinth, but in fact they are very far-fetched because this series of memory fragments are disconnected and have no continuity.
Thinking of this, Lin Sen discovered a point that he had ignored before.
This labyrinth...... Isn't it just the memory of the puppets?
They also have no continuous memories, only one part of which is selectively retained by the person who made them, and then repressed the other, which makes their souls appear puppet-like.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Sen discovered that there was indeed a problem in the melody.
The original notes were directly depicted based on Lin Sen's memory of the piano music, but in fact, when he began to influence a memory, it was essentially forcibly rewritten and added to a memory that should not exist.
This way of adding is a bit like traversing.
And when he arrived at the crossing first, Lin Sen's mind flashed, and he suddenly understood a lot of things, or realized a suspicion that he had never carefully understood and analyzed.
That is, the "paradox of time and space" that Lemidia once said.
Although this suspicion has little to do with his current situation for the time being, it is indeed very critical, and it seems that it is necessary for him to consult the beautiful sister after escaping from this labyrinth.
But now......
"What just happened, so many disgusting monsters." Fog asked with a sigh of relief.
Lin Sen touched her head and replied, "It's okay, it's the way I conveyed it that stimulated my own memory roots, and as a result, I released something like a nightmare, these guys are supposed to make me realize that I am still in memory." ”
"Oh?" Wu Huan didn't understand what Lin Sen meant, but whatever he meant, Wu Huan snuggled up to Lin Sen and didn't ask any more questions.
Lin Sen also just figured this out.
This is closely related to the nature of dreams, Lin Sen intends to use melody to guide memory, so that the maze can be connected, so as to restore autonomous consciousness to achieve the purpose of waking and breaking free, but he forgets that memory itself is an irreplaceable existence.
This has been discussed in detail in many books and works.
And not long ago, Dongfang Ruo also demonstrated to Lin Sen the way the human brain thinks.
It's like "don't think about elephants".
You'll remember elephants.
But if you say "don't think about Martians", you can probably only remember some images from film and television works, but you can't outline things that don't exist in the memory system.
Therefore, when Lin Sen uses his deep consciousness to try to break and create new things, the roots of memory begin to resist and strongly repuls, so all the things that Lin Sen is afraid of and do not want to see appear, and they will become more and more until Lin Sen is eliminated as an disturber.
Fortunately, Lin Sen realized this when he ran away, and returned to the main line of memory in time to escape.
"Where are we going now?" The two stood on the street for a while, and Wu Huan began to feel some cold legs and feet.
Lin Sen thought for a moment and replied, "Go to the theater." ”
"Theater?"
"yes, I'm going to try again there."
……
At this time, the theater was empty, with no audience or performers, and only a lone piano on the stage.
Lin Sen hesitated for a while in front of the piano, because in a sense, there is no problem with the instrument itself, whether it is a violin or a piano, it is a medium.
The question is, is it the same act of stimulating the root of memory as before?
Stroking the piano keys, Lin Sen didn't move for a long time, until a person walked into the theater, and then Lin Sen suddenly remembered something, and his pupils contracted suddenly.
After something in the depths of his memory was fluctuating, he looked at the keys again, and his whole body froze.
Walking into the theater was the Olisa, who was defeated by Lin Sen, and her face was still stained with tears.
After passing through the audience, Olisa walked onto the stage and sat down next to Lin Sen.
Then she played the song "Una mattina" again.
The same melody, in a different state of mind, exudes a completely different rhythm, and the song played by Olisa at this time seems very lonely and sad.
The early morning look at each other and smile no more, leaving only the empty room, in the corner, the empty heart.
Halfway through Olisa's performance, a question came from outside the theater, "Who's there?" ”
The voice was familiar, but Lin Sen couldn't remember who it was, but his hand was already on the keys.
When Olisa heard the voice, she got up and fled.
Lin Sen was left alone to watch all this silently, his eyes cold.
Wu Huan stood by the piano, feeling Lin Sen's mood ups and downs, and she found that Lin Sen's heart had another closed door, just like he had done when he deceived Mei Rui before.
This time, Wu Huan still didn't say a word, but she no longer felt scared, but chose to respect Lin Sen's decision to keep herself.
The manager of the theater pushed open the door and looked at it, and left after making sure that no one was there.
Soon after, the theater resounded with the unfinished performance of "Una mattina".
Only this time, the performer is not Olisa, nor is it a little boy, but Lin Sen as an adult.
In the hallway...... The little boy met Olisa, who was listening, and then looked stunned when she saw the little boy, who she had thought was playing.
The little boy was also surprised, he thought it was Olisa playing.
But no one knows who the second half of this piece is.
Because when they walk into the theater after the music is over.
The stage was empty, as if no one had come............
…………
What exactly is memory......
Some say it's the soul......
But why, you won't fall in love with a puppet with the same memories again?
Because you remember......
The person you loved is long dead......
……
If Dongfang put away his long sword, in the empty realm, countless mirrors shattered in an instant.
