Chapter Ninety-Two: The Plan
"That's not right." Duan Xu looked at the person in front of him, "According to what you said, all the people who appear on the train now have been reincarnated countless times, and their memories will be like mine, and there will be problems." ”
He shook his head: "Not every reincarnation, the people who get on the car are the same people, over the years, there are countless people who get on the bus intentionally or unintentionally, but there are very few who can survive to the end." And only those who live to the end have the right to choose. Not everyone is as tired as Li Jingnian, and only people who completely erase themselves like him can retain some fragmentary memories after each reincarnation. ”
"What about those who chose to get off with their memories? Will the next reincarnation or death erase their memories? Duan Xu asked suspiciously.
"No, it won't." He affirmed Duan Xu's speculation, "But those who choose to get off the train permanently will no longer be eligible to enter the train." ”
"So what you meet on the train can only be the person who appears for the first time in this reincarnation, or...... People who have been reincarnated, but do not want to sink into the eternal stagnant world. ”
Duan Xu was silent for a long time, he looked around Guishou Mountain, and said in a low voice, "It's still hard for me to believe everything you said. ”
"That'...... You look me in the eye. He spoke.
Although Duan Xu had doubts, he still did as he said.
The moment he stared into his eyes, Duan Xu only felt that his eyes were scarlet, and the strange color made his eyelids hot.
After a "hum-" sound, Duan Xu's heart jumped suddenly, and the surroundings suddenly became dark, and there were ...... Absolute silence.
His soul seemed to be pulled out and projected into an unknown space as a particle.
A dazzling brilliance enveloped his whole person, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be spinning, and constantly deriving a thousand scenes.
I don't know how long it took, Duan Xu's brain banged loudly, and his consciousness finally recovered with difficulty.
And everything in front of me gradually became clear.
This is......
Duan Xu's eyes widened subconsciously, and everything in front of him made him completely unfamiliar.
Colorful seeds sprout on the ground, transparent trees grow knotted roots, and thick and large clouds are suspended in the sky.
"This is ......"
Duan continued to murmur.
"Li Jingnian, they call it the Fog Realm, this is the world that collapsed, what you see now is the memory that Li Jingnian once saw and preserved."
He explained slowly, as if there was nothing in the world that made him anxious.
He said that people are independent individuals, and no one has the right to demand that everyone must be consistent in the face of choice. Over the years, there have been people who, like him, have explored from the real world to the fog realm, and they have gone deeper and deeper step by step, just to make time flow again. ”
He looked at the colorful clouds and said calmly: "There are also people who choose to get off the car permanently with their memories after the end of nineteen years of reincarnation, enjoy all kinds of life, and experience all kinds of possibilities. ”
"There's nothing wrong with that." Duan Xu's expression was a little dazed, and he thought of the Duan family.
"Yes, but people who can get off the bus permanently with their memories are not stupid, they know it's just a cycle. The process of human life from the unknown finite to the established eternity is a more cruel path than imagined. ”
He answered, and suddenly, Duan Xu only felt that the surroundings suddenly sank, and the cone-shaped red peaks in front of him were densely arranged, and the two of them were standing on an island.
"If it were you, which path would you choose? A short but unknown life, or a dull but established eternity? ”
He looked at Duan Xu quietly.
Duan Xu shook his head and looked into the distance.
He could see a silver-white disc falling to the horizon, half-hidden and half-visible at sea level.
The sea in the fog realm is half red and half blue, if it is bright and dark.
A rosy mist stretched across the surface of the sea, stretching towards the horizon, hazy into a bleak twilight.
"I'm not Li Jingnian, and if it weren't for his memory, I wouldn't even be able to perceive that this world is stagnant. It is also a kind of happiness to be reincarnated again and again in ignorance. ”
Duan Xu's eyes were a little dazed, and he said in a low voice.
"Once, someone also said to Li Jingnian that he almost made the decision to get off the car permanently."
His voice was full of memories.
Duan Xu heard the meaning of his words and asked, "What changed his decision?" ”
He was silent for the first time, and after a long while, he looked at Duan Xu.
"I should do what he tells me, after all, I was originally some kind of emotion of his, but...... Because I was a part of him, I knew that if he could see his 'self' as he is, he would never tell you about it. Because you are not him, you already have your own memories, character, life. It is his will, not your choice, to involve you. ”
"Li Jingnian doesn't force people to make choices, so he keeps the problem to himself. But he didn't expect that the current 'self' had become someone else. His words were very tongue-twisting, but Duan Xu understood.
Doesn't force people to make choices......
Duan Xu suddenly thought of himself and Zhao Wei.
When he was in Huaicun, what qualifications did he have to force Zhao Wei to make a choice?
Maybe...... This is the biggest difference between him and Li Jingnian.
"Tell me......" Duan Xu looked at him and said slowly, "It's my own choice." ”
He seemed stunned, and after a moment, he suddenly smiled: "Although it has become a new soul, there is something...... But it's still the same as before. ”
"Since it's your decision, then I can tell you. The reason for Li Jingnian to change his mind of getting off the bus permanently and looking for a way to restore the flow of time is that these two worlds are going to die out completely. ”
The smile on his lips gradually took on irony: "People who choose to get off the bus forever think that the stagnation of time is infinite, although everything in the world is repeating, always so boring, but at least they can live forever with their memories." ”
"But...... They don't know what the people on the train have discovered, the world is dissipating, and every reincarnation is consuming some kind of power, and this power is almost exhausted. ”
Duan Xu was stunned for a moment, and he thought of the man wearing the white mask.
That man...... Is it the one who chose to get off permanently?
So he wants to kill himself, and what he wants to stop is the re-flow of time in this world.
"I met a person who saw that Li Jingnian had disappeared, and he said to me that time flowed again, and Li Jingnian succeeded, and he said...... Let me stop the world from withering. ”
Duan Xu didn't hide it from him and expressed his doubts.
He shook his head after hearing this: "I probably know who you are talking about, he is the one who chose to get off after knowing that the world was about to die." He knows something, but he doesn't believe that the process of the world's demise can be reversed, so it's better to live for himself. ”
"That'...... Is time really flowing again? ”
"No, the flow of time he perceives is just a plan, a plan that brings together the full strength of all the survivors, and there is no way back." He seemed to remember something, and his voice was a little deeper.
"What's the plan?" Duan Xu subconsciously asked, his heart beating extremely violently, and it was difficult to suppress it.
"Li Jingnian didn't leave me that memory, that is, he didn't plan to tell you about that plan." He shook his head, but looked at Duan Xu again, "But...... I remember the name of that program. ”
At this time, four words flashed in Duan Xu's mind like thunder, and before the man next to him could speak, he already knew the answer.
"I remember......"
"Its name is...... Die. ”
