Chapter 32: Clues
At this moment, Merlin and the Red Witch are not at the wizard's bar, Char sits at the bar, chats with the bartender Bob, orders a beer, and relaxes his mood to the soothing music of the bar.
Only in the virtual space of the Wizard's Bar can Char's mind be momentarily peaceful.
He needs some time to refresh his recent encounters.
It all started with Char's amnesia...
"The truth is meaningless..."
Char muttered these words, and the corners of his mouth turned into a wry smile.
"What happened to me, what danger did I encounter, and what kind of truth did I know to make me seem so panicked?"
Char recalled his panicked expression and the fear in his eyes in the hologram, and couldn't help but think.
Char was the Grand Hermit of Shadow Street before he lost his memory, and he was the best among hackers.
At that time, he didn't want to be so weak and helpless now.
In this cyberpunk world, top hackers have a lot of information at their disposal and can do almost anything.
"The question is..."
Char's brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly felt that there was something unusual about the situation.
Suppose Char knows some terrible truth, fears a powerful being, and has no choice but to delete his own memories.
So, why did Char leave images for herself, telling herself not to pursue the truth?
There is also the account password of the Great Witch Hermit.
If Char is really afraid of the truth, he decides to forget everything and restart his life. Well, he shouldn't have kept the account and password to Shadow Street to himself.
Char narrowed her eyes, thought quietly for a while, and came to two conclusions.
The first conclusion is that Char at that time was under the threat of death, in a panic, his brain was almost out of order, he was in a state of semi-madness, and his actions had fallen into confusion and could not be handled by common sense.
However, Char, as a great witch hermit, a top hacker with rigorous thinking and caution, should not be so flustered. It's not very likely.
The second conclusion is that the image left by Char actually has another deep meaning.
But Char replayed the images over and over again in his mind, observing his every move and every detail, but he felt that his situation at that time was a little abnormal, and he didn't see any deep meaning. Only in the end, the holographic projector burned, and the flames turned into the account password of the hermit, which was a little abnormal.
"The answer may be hidden in the hermit." Char pursed her lips and opened the friend system.
In addition to the Scarlet Witch and Merlin, Char has another person on Char's friends list whose name is "Deep Blue".
The dark blue head is like an endless sea, seeing this picture, Char's heart has an extremely familiar feeling, and there is a trace of warmth.
Before Char lost his memory, he deleted all information about himself and all of his friends.
Except for navy.
“HI。”
Char greeted Deep Blue again, but still didn't respond.
Char was a little disappointed, but suddenly found that there was a message in the chat box between himself and Deep Blue that was not successfully sent.
This message was sent a week ago!
At that point in time, Char had not lost his memory.
"Is this the clue?"
Char was a little excited, his fingers trembling slightly, and he recovered the unsent message.
A message is a hologram.
A teenager wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, with messy hair, extremely dark circles under his eyes, and deep-set eye sockets, appears in the frame.
That's Char herself.
"Future me, if you read this message, it means that my plan has succeeded and you have survived. You lose your memory, but it's all worth it. To live, there is hope! ”
In the picture, Char's eyes shone with wisdom, and he spoke slowly and calmly.
Judging from what he was wearing, this video is not far from the time when the previous one was taken.
One is crazy and frightened, and the other is calm and wise, just like two people.
"You must have seen the last video, seen my madness and fear. I did learn some truths about the world, and I came across something horrible that I couldn't look at! You are me! You should understand that I will not give in! When hell freezes over! That image is not only for you, but also for them. I'm going to deceive them and let them know that I've yielded! Let them believe that I will not continue to pursue the truth, so that it is possible to avoid obliteration! ”
In the hologram, Char blinked his eyes slyly and said with a smile, "I succeeded, didn't I?" I have deceived those who think they are great. You're alive, that's proof. ”
"I have to admit that Deep Blue is right. Before I gained power, I knew too many truths and touched those taboos, and it was only then that I caused disaster and put myself in danger. I underestimated them, the darkness that lurked behind this world. Listen to me, you have restarted your life and got a new opportunity. This time, you must be more careful and become strong before touching the truth! Be as powerful as you can! Evolution is the only way to gain power. If I'm not mistaken, now you, under the influence of AND drugs, have successfully embarked on the path of evolution and become a reader of Sequence 1. ”
"The reader seems to be a very weak sequence, but it is very practical. At least, you won't die because of the collapse of genes. The reader's second sequence is the Dream Builder, and like the reader, the Dream Builder is not a combat sequence, but a good one..."
"It's not enough to evolve in the Dream Builder's sequence. Our enemies are terrifying, and we must gain strength! Evolve as fast as you can, enter a higher sequence, and at least gain the ability to protect yourself! ”
"I hacked into hundreds of big corporations and federal computer systems, and searched for countless top-secret documents. I've finally found the answer! The secret of evolution is hidden in Dr. Kakule's diary! That's right, it's Dr. Kakule, who wrote the map of the inverted tree and is known as the 'father of evolution', 'the wisest brain of mankind', and the 'greatest scientist of all time'.
"Dr. Kakule's life is legendary, and his most important research result, the Atlas of the Inverted Tree, caused a sensation throughout human society. Soon after, he disappeared, and no one knows where he went. Later, many researchers believed that Dr. Kakule was a true genius whose wisdom was ahead of his time! His research is more than just an inverted tree atlas. He had a habit of keeping a diary, which was written in a special cipher, and over the centuries very few parts had been deciphered. But just a few words have caused a sensation in the scientific community again and again! ”
"With the help of Deep Blue, I made a decoder that can decipher Dr. Kakule's diary!"
"Find Dr. Kakule's diary! This is my only hope! ”
