Chapter 1: The Lost World
"I'm so thirsty... Where there is water, I want water, water..."Xu Ming's consciousness began to blur, the crisis of dehydration made Xu Ming gradually lose consciousness, it seemed that the end of his life was about to come, and Xu Ming finally couldn't support it anymore, so he collapsed.
I don't know how long it has been, a day, a week, or a month? Anyway, Xu Ming has lost consciousness, of course, he is not dead yet, but he is almost done playing.
"Grandpa, grandpa, he's doing it, he's going to wake up..."A crisp girl's voice sounded in Xu Ming's ears.
Xu Ming tried hard to open his eyes and see if he had reached heaven or hell, but unfortunately he couldn't seem to do it.
Xu Ming smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart, he was still dead, no wonder he couldn't open his eyes, this so-called heaven or hell place, gravity is too great.
I tried hard to move my eyelids again, and finally it was no longer without a reaction, my eyelashes moved, and then my eyes slowly opened, and I hadn't seen this so-called afterlife clearly, and the dazzling light made Xu Ming close his eyes honestly.
Damn it! Xu Ming cursed in his heart.
After a few more minutes, Xu Ming felt that he should be able to adapt to the dazzling light, so he slowly opened his eyes again, Xu Ming finally saw the environment he was in, a slightly dilapidated earthen leather house, the furnishings in the house were very simple, a large bed, a dilapidated table, and two chairs that seemed to fall apart at any time.
This made Xu Ming stunned, this is heaven or hell?
There are no imaginary cute angels, and there is no purgatory oil pot, is it not dead yet? Xu Ming suddenly became excited.
"The lad is awake?" A slightly old voice sounded in his ears.
Xu Ming tilted his head and saw the old man who was talking, Xu Ming opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"No need to speak, you have a good rest first, and I'll tell you what's going on."
Xu Ming wanted to say thank you, but opened his mouth and found that he still didn't have the strength to speak.
I always feel that I will die if I delay! 'Will you die?!' Why do I have such thoughts?! Xu Ming was taken aback by his own thoughts, and shook his head secretly in his heart.
Maybe my brain became nervous after I fell into a coma. Xu Ming thought to himself.
The fatigue after waking up from a dehydrated coma began to become obvious, Xu Ming had no choice but to fall asleep again, and when he woke up, it was already noon the next day.
After a simple meal, Xu Ming chatted with the old man.
The old man's name is Daniel Zhang, and his son and daughter-in-law encountered a sandstorm while traveling with a caravan and died on the vast Gobi Desert, fortunately, leaving a lovely daughter and the old man to depend on each other.
The old man's town was surrounded by desert on almost all sides, and God knows how these people in the town survived from generation to generation, which surprised Xu Ming.
The old man's inquiry also confused Xu Ming's heart, and Xu Ming found that all his memories had been lost?! He didn't even know why he had come to this place, much to the old man's confusion as well as himself.
Fortunately, Xu Ming is also more optimistic, and now his task is to recuperate, and then set off with the caravan in the town to find his memories.
After two days of recuperation, the fatigue of dehydration finally recovered, and Xu Ming also decided to say goodbye to the old man, and then go out with the caravan to find his lost memories.
At the time of parting, the old man said something to Xu Ming that made him scratch his head, "Young man, if the darkness makes you forget, then remember who you are, and what you have lost will come back one day." ’
The old man's words made Xu Ming feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity, maybe he had read it in some book.
If you can't figure it out for the time being, don't think about it again, and there will be a day when you will understand.
An hour later, the crisp sound of camel bells sounded on the unobstructed Gobi Desert, melodiously spreading into the distance, just like the expectation and joy of the caravan when they set off.
………
"Brother, you said you were going to look for your lost memories, so where are you going to find them? The caravan didn't go too far, in case..."The rough voice exploded in Xu Ming's ears, waking up Xu Ming, who was deep in thought.
"Ah, Brother Wei, I don't know this, how far can I go, I will stop and stop all the way, maybe I can recall my memories somewhere." Xu Ming turned his head and said to the big man sitting next to him.
The big man's name is Wei Hu, and his sturdy figure is worthy of his name.
"That's... The brothers are ready to leave at the end of the caravan, right? Wei Hu said.
"Hmm... Maybe, if I can get my memories back, then I'll come back and see, if I can't find it, then... Haha, I'm thinking too much, who knows what will happen in the future" After speaking, Xu Ming fell silent, and Wei Hu was smart when he saw this, and he didn't ask any more.
Yes, if you can't find it, then you may be looking for it for the rest of your life, and then die unexplained, and I feel a little sad when I think about it.
After nearly three days of travel, the caravan arrived at the destination of the trip, and in another relatively large town, Xu Ming also said goodbye to everyone, carrying a backpack given by the caravan, containing a few bottles of the most precious water in the desert and some dry food.
Xu Ming stayed in this town for three days, and turned around many places that could be turned, but there was no familiar feeling, which made Xu Ming feel a little disappointed, but this was the first place to arrive, and maybe the next place would allow Xu Ming to recall something.
After communicating with the people in the town, Xu Ming received gifts from the townspeople, food and water, and a very rare map in the desert, which gave Xu Ming a certain confidence to go out of the town and go to other places to find his lost memories.
Without too much preparation and hesitation, Xu Ming hit the road again, at least I hope that Xu Ming will not give up until he breaks off.
Xu Ming began his long road of retrieving his memories, every time he arrived at a place, he would stay for a few days, go around, and see if there was anything that could make him recall something, but he was disappointed, it seemed that none of these places he had visited made him feel a little familiar, and his memory was still blank.
A week, two weeks, a month, two months, a year and two years... From the beginning of the full expectation, to the later loss, to the disappointment, and to the final confusion, Xu Ming began to forget why he was running around like this, forgetting what he was looking for, and even in the end, he forgot who he was and what his name was.
I have to say that looking for memories, finding and finally forgetting who I am, what a sad thing, and Xu Ming is in such a state at this moment, but there is not even a person who mourns for him, maybe he has been looking for thirty or forty years, or maybe he has been looking for fifty or sixty years, from youth to middle age, and then to old age, in short, what is the difference? It's just a fruitless ending.
The white-haired Xu Ming stood on the street in a daze, this is a bustling small city, which has been out of the scope of the desert, Xu Ming just stood on the side of the road in a daze, watching the flow of people, he didn't know why he was standing here, he didn't know what he was standing here for, he didn't know where he was going next, and he forgot who he was.
Xu Ming tried hard to remember who he was, why he was standing in this place, and what he was doing, all of which confused him and made him a little annoyed.
As the time of thinking became longer and longer, Xu Ming began to be irritable, he didn't understand why he had such a violent mood, he wanted to try to restrain himself, but found that the current situation of thinking fruitless made him more and more unable to suppress his irritability, and finally the excited emotions completely exploded, the beating heart, the sound of the bang smashed in his mind one by one, the rapid congestion of the brain made Xu Ming's consciousness begin to blur, and at this time he was still thinking about who he was!
The convulsions of the body made the old body fall to the ground, and the consciousness began to blur, a person forgets himself, loses himself, loses his heart, then the heart is absent, the consciousness will be scattered, just like those patients with depression, this is a mental collapse, once it starts, it cannot be stopped.
In the desert, somewhere far away, an old man raised his head and muttered: "Oh~ lost again? It's really weak, how many times has this been? Are you going to die again? It looks like he can't get out, forget it, help him. The old man's eyes flashed, and an astonishing momentum emanated from the old man, at this time the old man was no longer an old and weak old man, but looked more majestic and imposing of the superior!
A white light shot out from the old man's hand and flew in the direction of Xu Ming, "Really, I was hit by the stone I lifted, little guy, grow up quickly, I don't know if I can wait until the day you grow up, alas... I don't know if I can get through this crisis! The old man seemed to have been drained of his energy, and in an instant he became the old man who was old and weak.
Losing himself made his consciousness begin to collapse, but this did not stop Xu Ming's thinking, even if his consciousness began to blur, Xu Ming was still thinking, just when Xu Ming's consciousness was about to disappear, a white light shot into Xu Ming's body, and stayed in Xu Ming's body, suddenly a sentence slammed into his mind, and the roaring sound echoed in his mind, and the sound became louder and louder.
"If the darkness makes you forget, young man, then remember who you are, and what you have lost will come back one day... Will be back... Will be back..."
"Ah!!h A hoarse old voice came out of Xu Ming's mouth, like the last struggle of a dying beast. Of course, this is not the last struggle, but Xu Ming remembered who he was at the last moment of losing consciousness! Yes, Xu Ming is his name, and the reason why he is standing here is because he is looking for the memories he once lost!
And I don't know how many times this kind of reincarnation has been, every time Xu Ming will eventually lose himself, and the price of losing himself is death, and then reincarnate again until the soul power is exhausted!
The old man's words when he left made Xu Ming puzzled, but now Xu Ming has a kind of realization in his heart: since he can't retrieve his former memories, it is best to be his current self, and one day those who are lost will come back. It's a pity that the song is over, and it seems that all this is coming to an end.
The so-called loss of memory is nothing more than one's own heart, one's own questioning of oneself, if you are firmer, if you believe in yourself more, these problems will no longer exist.
Bitter smile, in addition to a bitter smile or a bitter smile, just when Xu Ming thought that he was about to kick his legs to see God, a melodious and ethereal voice suddenly came out of his mind, making it impossible to tell whether the owner of the voice was a man or a woman.
"Congratulations on passing the Dream Space Trial Mission, the task reward: 1500 Dream Points, a Level 2 Dream Enhancement, obtaining the title of Dream Enterer, obtaining the qualification to enter the Dream Space, and obtaining ...... The quest is complete, and the trialist will teleport out of the quest world in ten seconds, and the countdown begins 10, 9... 4,3,2,1 start teleporting ......"
A soft white light wrapped Xu Ming's old body, and at the same time, it was repairing this tattered body, the wrinkles on Xu Ming's face disappeared quickly, and at the same time, his body was gradually blurred under the white light......
