Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Consciousness of the String Road
The faint white light of the steps, the wheat-yellow time sand, filled the thick darkness everywhere......
This is all the scenery that comes into view, and this is the silent chord road. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
You can't see the end, and you can't see the beginning when you look back!
The steps under his feet were like frozen time, and Chen Zhe walked forward with steps, except for the black ring on his left wrist, he had nothing else in his body.
He had long forgotten the starting point and purpose of this journey, and now he only hoped that the end of the next leg was not far away.
Perhaps after walking for centuries on the string road, Chen Zhe finally stopped, and a series of doubts flashed on his face.
Because what should have been a single channel chord diverged at this node, and at this time there was a crossroads in front of him.
In the center of the intersection is a huge pale cylindrical stone stele, the surface of which is covered with mottled time marks, and faintly emits a dense streamer, and at this time it is quite abruptly blocked in the middle of the road in front of it.
"Amnesiac traveler wandering in the timeline, there are three paths ahead of you at this time: past, present, and future, which one do you choose? Give your answers! ”
On the pale stone tablet was a row of vermilion characters written horizontally from left to right, although Chen Zhe had never seen this font before, he could understand the meaning of it.
Of course, if it was just like this, it would not be enough to make Chen Zhe's face fluctuate, the main reason was that there were two people at the intersection on his left and right!
These two people are like him, and they don't have any clothes to cover their bodies, and their faces are ordinary to the extreme, to put it simply, they are the kind of ordinary types that can no longer be found when thrown into the crowd.
If it weren't for the different frequency of face and primordial fluctuation, maybe even he would have confused the two.
There was also great surprise in the eyes of those two people, obviously they were also surprised that they could meet other people in this kind of place, after all, they had also wandered lonely on this string road for many years, and now it was the first time they had encountered a life other than themselves!
After a brief moment of staring at each other, the three of them remained silent in a tacit manner, and their simple surprise did not change anything, and then they once again set their eyes on the large pale stone tablet.
"Give the answer in your heart, the stele will disappear naturally, and the answer and the end point are not far behind the stele!"
As if sensing the staring gaze of the three people, the font on the pale stone tablet twisted and reorganized like an earthworm, quickly piecing together a new character group.
At the same time, in the moment after the font was reorganized, three translucent screens of light and shadow appeared on the chests of the three people, and the three options of "Future", "Present", and "Past" appeared on the screen.
After Chen Zhe and the others saw the options displayed on the screen, their brows furrowed slightly for a moment, and then they stretched out their hands and pointed at the answer that had already been set in their hearts.
It doesn't matter what the answer behind the stele is, because the three of them have long forgotten the purpose of setting out on the string road, but only the end can still be looked forward to!
The trio are tired of this boring journey, and they want to put an end to it!
The man on Chen Zhe's left chose the future, and the person opposite him chose the present in the past, as for Chen Zhe, he chose the present.
After the three of them chose the answer in their hearts on the screen, the pale stone tablet shook, and cracks opened on the huge stone tablet, and countless pale blue lights burst out from the cracks.
When the intense pale blue light receded, the stele and the screen on his chest had disappeared, and a fist-sized creature floated in the center of the crossroads.
She has several pairs of white wings on her back, and a white wheel of light hovers above her head, like a holy angel in religious mythology.
But the appearance of the angel did not make any surprise appear on the faces of the three people, although it was not known what attitude the other two had towards the winged creature, but Chen Zhe clearly sensed that he was disgusted with this creature.
The angel seemed to be completely unaware of the surrounding situation, and after slightly stirring the wings behind his back a few times, he also straightened his long pale blue hair by the way, and then looked at the three of them with his crystal clear eyes, "Time Traveler, I am the consciousness of the string road, Rhea, and I am in charge of everything on the string road. ”
After a short self-introduction, Rhea cut straight to the point, asking the three of them separately and at the same time, "Why did you choose the future (present) (past)?" Can you give me a reason? If your reasons satisfy me, I'll give you a gift......"
“……”
I didn't expect that this little guy would ask this question in the first sentence after introducing himself, which made Chen Zhe stunned for a while.
Gift?! What a gift?! Nothing to do, always feel like nothing good!
Besides, the little birdman's words are obviously only half of what he said, since there is a reward for answering correctly, what should I do if I answer wrong?
"I don't know, I just chose it by feeling!" The people on Chen Zhe's left and right were silent for a short moment before replying in unison.
"What about you?"
After hearing the answers given by these two people, Rhea's delicate face had no expression, and instead asked Chen Zhe, who had never given a reason.
"Why did you choose now?"
“……”
Why? I can't say that my hand is suddenly out of my control, so I can't help but nod "now".
"Well, I also chose by feeling!"
In fact, Chen Zhe also wanted to answer a little more profoundly, but the words directly became the reason above.
"It's all based on feelings?" Rhea confirmed in a flat tone.
All three nodded at the same time, "Hmm! ”
"Congratulations, your reason makes me ......"
Rhea said this, deliberately taking off her tone for a long time, until it sounded as if she was about to die, Rhea said the last few words, "Very dissatisfied!" ”
Dissatisfied?! What if you're not satisfied? Chen Zhe muttered to himself.
"If I'm not satisfied, it means that only one of the three of you can continue on the string road! As for the rest, they will die here! And I will be a witness! ”
The man who chose to go over walked to the middle of the crossroads, grabbed Rhea's body, and said in a cold voice: "Little guy, I'm not in the mood to say these useless words to you here, please don't pretend to be in front of me!" Believe it or not, I'll pinch you to death right away! ”
Rhea's face did not show the slightest fluster, and he continued to say in that stinky tone: "This is not pretending to be profound, but fate!" I can't be moved by the answers you choose and the reasons you give, so there is only one person who can continue to walk, otherwise there will be huge deviations and confusions on the string path! ”
"What does that have to do with me?" The man who chose the past said coldly.
"Of course it's about you, it's about all three of you! You chose the past because you hated yourself for not wanting to make progress and cowardice at that time, and it was your own incompetence in the past that created the established situation of helplessness, regret and patheticness, so you want to go back to the past to change yourself! ”
Rhea's words made the man's face change, and the hand holding Rhea immediately let go.
"How do you know?" The man took a deep breath and tried to put on a calm expression, but his trembling hands betrayed his heart.
Rhea's expression and answer also shocked Rhea, and sure enough, he could still remember what happened before, it seemed that it must have something to do with the person who appeared in his memory!
Although Rhea's heart was turbulent, there was still an indifferent look on his face, "As long as you can step on the string path, I know your past, didn't I say it before?" I am this string road consciousness! ”
Ignoring the man's somewhat hideous appearance, Rhea turned the conversation to the person who chose the future, and said: "You have known since you were a child that your fate is resistance, but the strong pressure and desperate reality make you retreat and fear, you dare not continue to fight forward, always put everything on the way to tomorrow, in order to see what your future is like, what kind of great things you will achieve, so you beg others to send you to the strings, all in all, you are this one loser!" ”
Rhea's sharp words left the other person speechless, and it was obvious that every word of the little angel's words hit his most cowardly side!
"That's right, I'm what you call a loser, I hate the responsibility I carry, why do they want to impose everything on me, I hate my life and other people's planning, I set foot on the string because I want to see what my future self is like, and what are his choices?"
"You haven't made a choice, how can the future be clearly presented in front of your eyes? Even if you can peek into a corner of the future, it doesn't mean that you will be like that in the future! ”
"It's okay, I just need to see the answers I want!"
“……”
It seems that this person is the same as that person, he has not been robbed of his memory by the string road, and there is also a person in his memory, and these two mysterious people have the same soul breath!
Instead of arguing with the subhuman theory, Rhea turned her gaze to Chen Zhe, her mouth slightly open as if she wanted to continue talking.
Seeing this, Chen Zhe immediately pricked up his ears and was about to listen to it, but he heard Rhea sigh lightly, "Logically speaking, only the primordial essence will not lose its memory when it steps on the string path, but I am curious......
After glancing at the two of them, Rhea wondered, "Why can you keep the memories of the past!" Who did it to you? I can't even know who he is! But I can feel that the person you remember is the same person! ”
“……”
The two didn't seem to expect Rhea to ask that, they couldn't say the identity of that person, they wouldn't tell, and they didn't know what to say!
for they have not seen the man either! However, the little angel just said that the person in their memory turned out to be the same person, is it possible......
The two people standing opposite each other invariably set their eyes on each other after thinking of this.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Seeing that Rhea avoided him and shifted the topic to the other side, Chen Zhe was dissatisfied.
"You've told you all about the past of these two people, why don't you talk about me? I also want to know what I have embarked on this path! ”
"You? You're just a person who remembers all the way, the past is not so important to you, and your past is very plain, and it's just some trivial things to say. ”
Speaking of this, Rhea ignored Chen Zhe, whose face was a little stiff, shook his head and sighed: "Originally, your answer was the most satisfactory to me, but unfortunately the reason and motive disappointed me too much!" I couldn't believe that the correct answer was the result of a slip of the hand! ”
