During the lunch break, in the school's office, Zhao Xuechao looked at Tong Shuo helplessly and asked: "Since you have seen me when you were young, but the information you observed externally shows that you still have not recovered your memory, why?" Still don't agree with my so-called virtual world statement? ”

"I believe, no, I can't fully believe that everything is really so real in this world. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Tong Shuo felt very entangled.

Zhao Xuechao held Tong Shuo's shoulder, stared at Tong Shuo's dodgy gaze and said, "Look into my eyes and tell me what are you hesitating about?" ”

"I don't know." Tong Shuo didn't know how to express it.

"You're concerned about what's going on in the world, aren't you?" Zhao Xuechao seemed to understand Tong Shuo's thoughts.

Tong Shuo didn't answer, as if acquiescing. No way, as an excellent student, he has a bright future, a warm family, and parents who love him, and he doesn't want to lose these.

Zhao Xuechao sighed: "I understand your feelings, now you only have memories of the virtual world, and naturally have an inexplicable nostalgia for this world." Only when you regain your true memory can you truly see the world clearly. It's just that this opportunity has already been wasted by you. ”

"Why? Wouldn't I just go to the rental house on Wenming Road again to find you when I was young? Tong Shuo felt that as long as he wanted, he could go to No. 32 Wenming Road again at any time to retrieve his memory.

"You're thinking too simply." Zhao Xuechao shook his head: "Do you know why there are two mes in this world------ I was young and I am now?" ”

"This..." Tong Shuo couldn't answer, he hadn't thought about it.

Zhao Xuechao explained while analogizing: "This virtual world is composed of the interconnection of the spiritual consciousness of your twelve experimental subjects. Why twelve, because one person's brain alone cannot support such a large world, so twelve is the safest number. In order to ensure that the experiment proceeds properly, all memories of yourself in your brain are hidden before the experiment, that is, you appear as a new individual, randomly appearing in a world composed of your twelve test subjects. And the people you go through, the things you go through, don't just come from your brain. Your family, friends, and friends in the virtual world are most likely made up of memories in someone else's brain. And in addition to your own memories, all memories of our scientists have also been erased from your brains. In other words, unless I deliberately arranged it, it is impossible for a young me to emerge in this virtual world made up of the twelve of you. ”

Tong Shuo seemed to understand something, and asked, "So you were not specially arranged by you when you were young?" ”

Zhao Xuechao smiled bitterly: "Of course, if I hadn't found out that there was a young me in this virtual world, there would be no need for me to appear here to interfere with the experiment." When I was younger, I appeared in this virtual world, which only means that there is a problem with the amnestic program of one of the test subjects, and if this problem is not solved, this memory that should not appear is likely to affect the balance of the entire virtual world. And when I was young, I was implicated in the memories that you had once erased, and only by coming into contact with him can you slowly awaken the memories hidden in the depths of your brain. ”

Tong Shuo raised his doubts: "But aren't you monitoring this experiment all the time, why don't you eliminate this young you from this virtual world, and instead go around in such a big circle for me to deal with?" ”

Zhao Xuechao frowned, looking very troubled: "I said, if there is a memory in this virtual world that should not appear, it proves that there is a problem with the amnestic program of a certain test subject. If this is not completely solved, then a bigger and more difficult problem may arise next time, and in order to solve the problem completely, it is necessary to find out which subject is the problem. This has to be found by you, who are in the middle of the experiment. Don't you want to regain your previous memories, and don't want to know who you were and what kind of experience you had before entering the experiment? ”

"The old me?" Tong Shuo lowered his head and did not make a sound.

Seeing Tong Shuo like this, Zhao Xuechao could only give an ultimatum: "I understand your feelings, it's just that the stakes are high, listen, once the balance of this world is broken, then the world will collapse at any time, all people, all things will disappear in an instant, and even in reality, you will die in the real sense." ”

Tong Shuo was silent for a while, and finally raised his head: "Say, when will I see you when I am young next time." ”

Zhao Xuechao stretched out his hand and gestured: "Three years later!" As a young person, I would have made a name for myself in three years for my academic research, and if everything was normal, I would have met him again in three years at a presentation at a prestigious university. ”

"In other words, I can spend three years in peace with my family in the virtual world, right?" Tong Shuo felt that since everything could not be saved, it would be good to have a stable time of just three years.

Zhao Xuechao turned his back to Tong Shuo and said in a sad tone: "No, it's three days, and there are only three days left for you and your parents in the virtual world to get along." ”

"What? Why, didn't you just say three years? Tong Shuo thought he had misheard and asked loudly.

Zhao Xuechao did not answer Tong Shuo directly: "The three years I said are the time when you can recover your memory again." And you and your parents ... I hope you can cherish the rest of your time. ”

Tong Shuo seemed to hear something, but he didn't dare to confirm it, so he grabbed Zhao Xuechao's shoulder like crazy and shook it crazily: "Why, tell me!" What will happen to my parents in three days! Tell me! ”

Zhao Xuechao closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Car accident, your parents will be killed in a car accident in three days." ”

Tong Shuo subconsciously stepped back, sweat broke out on his head, and said in a panic: "No, even if it's true." Since you told me, you can avoid a car accident, right? After three days, I will do everything I can to prevent them from driving out. ”

"It's useless." Zhao Xuechao shook his head. "These things are meant to be, and there's nothing you can do to stop them."

"What do you say? You... Tong Shuo's eyes widened, bloodshot appeared in his eyes, and he scolded angrily: "It must be you, it was you who arranged this car accident, right, you are worried that I will not help you, so you arranged this car accident!" ”

As he spoke, Tong Shuo rushed violently towards Zhao Xuechao, put Zhao Xuechao against the wall, pressed his arm against Zhao Xuechao's neck, and said viciously: "You say, this is all your trap, right, say it quickly!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Xuechao was indifferent, Tong Shuo's voice gradually became trembling, tears rolled in his eyes, and slowly, the threat turned into begging for mercy: "Answer me quickly!" Please, answer me, spare my parents! Even if it's all a virtual memory, I don't want to lose them, I listen to you how you say how to help you, please let them go! ”

Zhao Xuechao didn't expect Tong Shuo's reaction to be so intense, and he regretted telling him the news early, but he was afraid that Tong Shuo would have an accident when he saw his parents pass away, no way, this was a difficult situation, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Actually, your parents would not have died in a car accident, at least not in the time I can budget." It's just that the appearance of me when I was young, the memory that shouldn't have appeared, interfered with the normal development of this world. And when you run away from the rental house without recovering your memory, and from the time you get home to see your mother, the car accident will inevitably happen three days later. ”

Tong Shuo was stunned, he couldn't continue all this, looked at his hands, and showed a panicked expression: "Could it be that this tragedy that is about to happen is caused by myself?" ”

Zhao Xuechao helped Tong Shuo, who was already paralyzed on the ground: "I hope you don't do anything stupid, I believe in your willpower, so I chose you among the twelve test subjects." Listen, the real reason for all this is that memory that shouldn't have been, and even if you live as usual, tragedy is still inevitable. Not only you, but the other eleven test subjects will be implicated in this. ”

Seeing that Tong Shuo's mood had improved, Zhao Xuechao comforted Tong Shuo and said, "Go back and calm down, I will explain the reason for your departure to your homeroom teacher." ”

"Thank you."

Tong Shuo took the fake note from Zhao Xuechao's instructions and pushed open the door of the office.
