Chapter 39: The Search for the Truth
The old man seemed to notice the change in my mood, and he sighed softly, "Hey, it seems that we all have our own unbearable pasts." ”
"And why did you get here?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, "I'm a lot more selfish than you, I came here to convey a word." As if thinking of something, the old man's eyes slowly softened, "I can't remember the specifics, I just remember that I seemed to be very old at that time, and my mother was the only one in my family to take care of me, which was not easy, but I have always been very naughty, undisciplined, and often made my mother anxious." ”
Because she has been the only one to work alone, the pressure of life has all been pressed on her, and her mother, who was already in poor health, finally fell ill after accumulating over time. I took my mother to the hospital, but she was found to be terminally ill, and I told her that it would be cured, and she just smiled at me. ”
"I worked hard everywhere, and in order to heal my mother, I sold everything I could sell, and spent all the money I could, but in vain. She left me when I was about to turn twenty, and on her deathbed she told me that I was old enough to live on my own, and that she could finally rest. ”
The old man's voice stopped, and I, who was immersed in his past, realized that he was already in tears. I lifted my hand and quietly put it down, maybe it would be better to let him take a break by himself now.
He took a piece of paper from the side, wiped his tears, and continued: "I can't remember what happened after that, I don't even know how I got here, I only remember what I wanted to fulfill. My mother has always taken good care of me since I was born, and I just want to tell her that I love her and that I want her to be my mother if there is another life. ”
"It's not selfish at all." I wrote.
The old man smiled, "Perhaps, I also thought about bringing her back to life, but according to her temper of hard work, I am afraid it will only make her more tired." Hey, it's useless to talk about this now, and I can't find the truth of this world until now. With that, he turned his head to look at me, and there seemed to be an emotion in his eyes that wanted to convey to me.
I looked the old man in the eyes, and I knew exactly what he wanted to convey to me, because that emotion I had before, and that was hope, which shone in his eyes like a dawn.
"You are the reincarnation of this generation of this world, and you give me the feeling that you are different from the seven before us, maybe you can find the true secret of the world of Tisball, and you may be the first person in a hundred years to leave here."
"Why are you so sure it's not someone else, I've met two reincarnated people before, but they're ......"
"No, I'm pretty sure it's you, based on previous experience, there will only be one reincarnation in every era in the world of Tisbor, and every era will revolve around this one reincarnation, you shouldn't be the first time you've come to me."
"How do you know?"
"Huh." The old man smiled, "I knew from the action you took the note before, obviously you knew in advance that the note was there, although I am old, but I am not really that confused." ”
"But I don't know anything about it, because this era revolves around you, and everyone else, even if they are reincarnated, will be brought into this vortex by a force of this world, and if you die then everything will start again until you are completely gone."
Disappearance here refers to two meanings, one is probably to fulfill one's wish to leave here, and the other is to die here forever. After listening to the old man's words, I realized that there were far more secrets of this world than I knew, such as why the dragon merged into the crystal, and if it did fulfill its wish and left this world, it was unknown whether the soul had dissipated or where it had gone.
Before I knew it, a page was full, and I turned a new page and wrote again: "I have a question I want to ask you why I can be resurrected, and I have been resurrected twice so far. ”
The old man thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "I don't know this, or since the moment of the resurrection of the reincarnated person, this question has been bothering us, among the reincarnated people, at least the people I know can only be resurrected once, and after the resurrection, they will obviously feel that they have become weak, so we can only judge that the price of resurrection is to consume the soul, and when the soul is exhausted, it will die, but we don't know anything else." And you seem to remember what you meant from the past, I don't know if it's an individual difference, but the reincarnated people I know will lose most of their memories after the resurrection, and it's hard to recall them again. ”
I was lost in thought, I didn't think I had any special abilities, but I couldn't explain what was happening to me. Reincarnation, Limitations of the World of Tisball, Soul ...... All kinds of questions began to arise to me, what is the meaning of our rebirth here?
The moment this idea came to me, I was shocked, not because it was too ridiculous, but because if I thought about it this way, many problems would have a basic explanation. I haven't thought about this since I came here, and I've always subconsciously thought that I came here to resurrect my Cher, but this is only for me, not for the being who reincarnated me.
If we really want us to fulfill our wishes, why create such a complex world? According to the old man's account, it seems that from the first reincarnation, all six of them have died here one after another, and the old man in front of him will probably die here sooner or later. In this way, except for me, the chance of failure is as high as 100%, and all reincarnated people do not survive, is this a bit too large?
So what if the purpose of sending us here was to make us die in the first place? I don't dare to continue thinking about it, because if I continue to think like this, then I am afraid that there will be no truth in this world at all, let alone anything to leave. I can only hope that my conjectures are wrong.
"Oh yes, little machine." The old man suddenly asked abruptly, interrupting my thoughts, and I looked up at him, "I heard you say that you seem to have met two reincarnateds?" ”
I nodded. Those two guys are dead, one in the interests of his own companions, and the other at my hands, in fact, I killed them all by me.
"What are they like?"
"Two robots, look like this one of mine, one dark red and one purple, the first time I saw them, they had the top half of your notebook in their hands, both of them are dead now."
The old man's brows furrowed slightly, "That's weird, why are there two more people, I also used to be a soldier in the army, and I also know the model and appearance of intelligent machines, listen to what you mean, these two reincarnated people should have come in at about the same time as you, according to past experience, there will only be one reincarnated person in each era, why is this ......happening?"
I also don't understand a lot about Baals and the purple robot, when I first met Baars, he had already taken out the note, and looking at the action, he obviously knew that the first half of the note was hidden there, how did he know?
Another point is that on the way to the Dragon's Lair with Bars, I also asked him about his past after we had established a relationship, and he was also secretive about it. What I can't understand the most is his name.,The name Bals doesn't sound like a robot should have.,It's very likely that he used to be called Bals.,Plus those disguised actions.,This guy should keep his previous memories.,Why does he remember?
"I don't know, I don't understand this matter very well, but since I'm dead, I can't ask, the most important thing at the moment is to find the truth of this world, which is also my mission."
"Since you are the reincarnation of this era, then the clues should be around you, and now that the dragon's lair has confirmed that it is not what we thought, is there anything worth noting around you besides this? Even the smallest things can do. ”
The notable thing? Ever since I woke up, I've followed Ode all the way to the underground city, and the most noteworthy person is Ode, who seems to be plotting something, as can be seen between him and the officer named Crewe.
"To say strange things, my maker seems to have some secrets, his name is Ode, I can tell that he has an unusual relationship with an officer named Crewe, I was burned to death by an incandescent flame when I was about to touch the crystal in my first life, and before I set out for the Dragon's Lair, Ode seemed to be in a hurry to leave Tisball with his sister."
"What's so special about him...... Ahem! Before he had finished speaking, the old man began to cough again, this time more violently, and his wrinkled face was flushed.
I stepped forward to help the old man and wanted to bring another glass of water, but he raised his hand to stop me.
"It's okay, don't drink it, let's answer me quickly."
"He's an avid machine enthusiast, and he seems to be a lot more skilled as a mechanic than other professions, and that's ...... He takes great care of his sister, before I wanted to kill myself on the spaceship, his sister Ouya pounced on me, almost fell off the flying ship with me, and then I rescued Ouya back on the ship, if it wasn't for Ouya to stop me, I guess I would have been dismantled by Oude into parts. ”
The old man seemed to be lost in thought, and I didn't bother him, just waited quietly, while I kept looking for other anomalies in my mind.
