Chapter 20: The Memory of Deviations
Suddenly, in a trance, I took a step back, and sat down on the sleeping pod behind me, which had just stood upright.
"Haha, J7, it looks like your balance system needs to be perfected a little more." The man smiled, picked up a screwdriver from the workbench next to him, and turned around.
"Okay Xiaode, don't make fun of J7, it's going to be sad too! Besides, isn't it because you didn't design it well? A very pleasant female voice sounded from the cabin next to her, and then a petite girl in pajamas walked out of it, with a toothbrush in her mouth, and a picturesque delicate face, no matter how you look at it, she is a beautiful girl.
She is Ouya, and the man is Oude...... Why, why do I know the names of the two of them, and this scene feels like I've seen it before, and it feels like I haven't seen it......
My mind was drowsy, and I thought carefully about what clues I could find in my memory, but in the end it was in vain. Somehow, the place I was in gave me a strong sense of familiarity, as if I had been here before.
"Xiaoya, I'm the captain of the ship, don't call me by a nickname, call me Oude." Odd said to the girl.
"Yes, then you have to call me Ouya, and you are not allowed to call me by my nickname!" Ouya pursed her lips and stuck out her tongue at Oude.
"Doesn't this seem close, after all, I'm your brother." Oude stepped forward and wanted to touch Ouya's head, but Ouya dodged and said, "Don't touch my head, you won't be tall!" ”
Oude smiled helplessly, turned around and continued to play with his parts, Ouya stopped talking, took a book from the bookshelf next to him, turned around and walked back to the cabin.
I walked slowly to the window, looked out, looked around again, and then fell into deep thought.
The two people in front of me undoubtedly knew me, and they were very familiar, and it seemed that I had passed with them, but I had no memory of them.
After listening to the conversation just now and scanning the surroundings, I now seem to be on a flying ship, and I should have ridden this flying ship before, but again, there is no relevant memory. As for why I'm here, I don't know.
There were so many other things that made me feel strange, I seemed to have experienced everything I had just experienced, and I could even know in advance what they were going to say, but some of them seemed to be so different from what I remembered that I wasn't sure if I had actually been here.
I can't remember anything about myself, I'm a robot, at least for now, but I don't seem to be ...... I should have something to do, but I just can't think of it.
I felt a little irritable, these intermittent memories were completely disconnected, and there were many places that were different from reality, so I couldn't tell which was true and which was false, it was like a mess.
While I was struggling, a name popped up in my consciousness.
Cher......
As I pronounced these two words in my heart, a pain so intense that it seemed to tear apart my soul quickly amplified in my spirit, and I struggled and fell to the ground, holding my head in pain even though I didn't feel it.
Because the weight of the metal body was too large, it fell on the metal plate at the bottom of the ship with a loud noise, and the parts that Ode was installing fell to the side.
"J7, what's wrong with you?!" Oude hurried to my side, and he frowned at the sight of me rolling.
"What are you doing, Oude, are you going to dismantle the ship!" Ouya opened the door of the cabin with a dissatisfied face, and when she saw me rolling back and forth on the ground, she also hurriedly ran over, "Oude, what's wrong with J7, it looks so painful, help it!" ”
Oude reached for a special style wrench from the workbench next to him, strained me down, unscrewed the cover on my back with the wrench, and removed the battery. All I felt was darkness in front of my eyes, and then I lost consciousness.
……
"J7, what's wrong?" Ouya looked at me worriedly and asked Oude.
"It's not a big deal.,Brother, don't you believe it?,The internal parts are not damaged.,It should be somewhere stuck.,It seems that you have to find a day to do a big inspection for J7.。
Oude checked a few more important parts of the interior, and then picked up the battery and put it in the battery slot.
"By the way, it's time to try the newly developed hood and battery." Oude muttered to himself, took out the battery he had just pressed in, then removed the cover with a screwdriver, took the battery standing on the side of the workbench and another metal cover, and installed it in three times and dividing it by two.
……
The sound of mechanical gears ringing in my ears, and my consciousness returned. Slowly rising from the ground, next to me, Ode was sitting in a chair, fiddling with his unknown parts that never seemed to leave his hand.
Seeing me get up, Oude glanced up at me and said, "J7, how is it, the fault has been fixed." ”
I nodded at him, and as far as I could see, I could see the monitor on my wrist.
"Oh, J7, try my new and improved battery, this time it should keep you active longer, and in the case of a power outage, it will last for about 5 hours."
I looked at the monitor on my wrist, but my mind was full of doubts. Because it gives me the feeling that I should have owned this device a long time ago, and not just put it on, as Oude said.
What the hell is going on, have I really been here? Or is it that I'm now going through what I once experienced? And that person's name...... Cher......
Who's that...... It seems that you have a deep relationship with me, and you should be a very important person...... No, I can't remember anything......
I don't know where it came from, but it was a tear-jerking, even though I knew I didn't have the ability to cry.
"Hehe, I can't think of itJ7, in fact, I just secretly replaced your cover with a newly developed new cover, I have turned over a lot of books before, and I have been experimenting for a long time, and I found that the glowing ball in the sky is actually overflowing with energy, so I built such an energy-absorbing plate, so that when there is light, your battery can be charged by itself!" With an excited look on his face, Odd explained to me the new parts he had put me in, I already knew what he was going to say by the time I heard the first half of his sentence, and my mind was not here at all.
I found that not only did I know in advance what they were going to say, but I also remembered something inexplicably when I saw something, like the history book on Oudeh's desk.
I'm sure I didn't touch the book before I woke up, but I knew what it contained, the history of the world, and the existence of the "Black Dead Realm." It's like I can get a memory from a specific place, or would it be more appropriate to "retrieve it"?
No, no, no, I should have experienced what I just experienced, and the memories I have now should belong to my past life, or to someone else......
I couldn't figure it out at all, these things were so unreasonable, but I had to think about it, not because of my curiosity, but deep down, there always seemed to be a voice telling me that "you still have things to do".
It's useless to think about it here, it seems that the first thing to do now is to collect more of these "inexplicable memories" and restore them, and the next place we are going should be......
"Xiaode, come on, come on, we seem to be about to come!" Ouya's voice came from the cockpit position, looking a little excited.
"Ah, really! Great, I'm almost throwing up in the sky, it's finally here! Also, don't call me Xiaode, it's not big or small. Ode trotted into the cockpit, and I followed.
"Look at Ode! Look there! Ouya pointed in surprise to the huge glass, between the gaps in the sea of clouds.
"That's right, it's Tisball."
Tisball, known as the largest city of mankind, is just a barren place where industrial manufacturing is constantly carried out on the surface, but in fact, underground, there is a huge city that only exists in fantasy, and it is called the "underground city that never sleeps", the real Tisball.
I have a feeling that all my questions now will be answered there.
Oude came to Ouya's side and began the long explanation of Tisball City with a meaningful expression, and I turned and walked out of the cockpit of the flying ship.
Looking at the sea of clouds, the afterglow of the remnant sun, and the slow dance of the red glow, the mood that had been a little irritable also calmed down, and in the three or four hours before arriving at Tisball, just relax like this, obviously I didn't do anything, but I felt very tired and tired.
The night soon covered the sky, and the sandy yellow of the earth turned a dark blue in the moonlight, and only the starry Milky Way was the only embellishment in the silence.
Our flying ship slowly stopped at the ground dock in Tisball, and as before, a memory suddenly came to my mind when I saw the brightly lit bazaar on the ground.
"Welcome, great mechanic, and may God bless you." A tall man stepped forward and bowed to Ode. Ode's footsteps suddenly paused when he saw him, and his expression became a little strange.
This man's name is Crewe, and he was in charge of taking us to our accommodation here.
"God be with you, hello, I'm Ode."
"You're welcome, Mechanic, just call me Crewe, and I'll lead you the way."
"Fortunately," Oude said, and then he stopped talking.
Crewe walked ahead and led us out of the stop, and as far as I can remember, our group should have gone straight to the platform elevator into Tisball City, and I could already see where it was.
Surprisingly, Crewe didn't go as I expected, but led us in the direction of the above-ground market in Tisbor.
What's going on, why is it different from what I remembered, is there any difference between what I experienced this time and what I remembered?
