Chapter 6: Dreaming
"Here?"
Sure enough, something went wrong.
In the blue sky, the dandelion sea floated by, and the swallows swam in it, and the bright and even somewhat dazzling sunlight seemed to drive away all the haze in this space.
Standing on the mountainside of the supernatural sky, I looked down at the unobstructed view of the land, the vast and vibrant land, the river between the forest and the grassland, the fresh and expansive atmosphere seemed to release all the stress.
The beautiful world, the bright scenery, the tranquil environment and the vitality that I have never had, this world does not belong to me at all, at least I don't seem to have a dream with such a relaxed and cheerful environment, etc., why is it an impression and not a memory, is it ......
"Pretty, isn't it? I made it according to the aesthetics of the earth. The sudden voice behind me scared me into a cold sweat, I had never met such a person, I still couldn't find it when I was so close and didn't open my mouth.
I suddenly turned and jumped back, only to see a middle-aged man lazily leaning against the stone wall of the mountain road, teasing the dandelions in the sky with great interest, and I had no idea how long he had been here. And what does he mean by that?
"Boy, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you here for two years." As soon as these words came out, they directly touched my most sensitive nerves, and there were two points in time when I had to think deeply: two years ago and four years ago.
I was already concentrating, my limbs were accumulating and retreating slightly, staring at him vigilantly, and there was already murderous intent in my heart: "Could it be that you are the ghost of my situation in the past two years?" "This incident has to arouse my thoughts, how can there be such a coincidence in this world?
"If I say no, do you believe it?" He spread his hands and asked indifferently.
I stared at him for a moment, then lowered my eyes and gathered my strength, "I believe it." β
If such a capable person really wants something, how could he appear at this time and lie to deceive me?
"Hey, boy, you're still too tender, what if I say that just to gain your trust?" Suddenly, he let out a funny laugh again, literally ruining the atmosphere.
ββ¦β¦ Now I really believe it. Although he was unhappy, he was also secretly shocked that he was still not mature enough, and at the same time, he felt that this uncle, who seemed to be a little unscrupulous, seemed to be a little extraordinary.
"No, you're still too tender, what if my last words are just to further gain your trust?"
ββ¦β¦οΌβ A sense of being played with a sense of fire rises, what is extraordinary?!
"So I ask you, do you believe what you know? Do you believe what you believe? He turned a blind eye to my chilly gaze, and instead came to me with this faint sentence, which completely dispelled my anger.
What can I believe? Especially if I have deceived everyone around me, what can I believe? In seeing all the living life around me, the warm interaction is as if the play is paused, and I can even do whatever I want without being discovered, what can I do without any barriers in such a false world?
I didn't know, there was no figure in my head, the original sense of isolation was even more profound, I looked at him blankly, I didn't know what to do, although I knew how stupid it was to look for my own answer from a stranger, but after all, this question was asked by him, maybe he would have some high opinion.
He noticed that I was looking at him, and I saw a smile on his lips, then he turned around and said softly, "Actually, I don't know." β
I tried to turn my face away and take a few deep breaths to relieve the depression in my heart, I was so stupid, really, I would think that this kind of guy would have a high opinion, how can a stranger be trusted?!
"There is never an answer to this question, and there will never be, you have to believe what you think is true, but you also have to always remember that everything you believe is not credible." Another very interesting sentence, twists and turns, but always caused me to think unconsciously, if there really is someone who lives like this, knowing that everything in front of him is not credible but still takes it seriously, then how painful should he be? Who is this, who is this?
"Hey, why would I say such esoteric things?" Once again, my mood and thoughts were ruined, and I couldn't bear it anymore!
"I say, what the hell are you here for?" From just now to now, my consciousness has been passively following, completely unaware that I am still in a dream...... Right?
"Thisβ" Finally, he gave up running the train in the unfathomable way and was about to get back to business: "Who am I?" β
Silence, this is a kind of interaction between the two sides, we all stared at each other, without saying a word, although I don't know what his psychology is, but my patience is limited after all, even in a dream, this is the first time I have entered my own reality consciousness, it is a rare experience, it is definitely a great pity not to conduct an investigation to get some information.
So, I decided to ignore him, turn around and go, and go down the mountain.
"Hey," he saw that I didn't want to continue with him, and immediately became anxious, "This time I really didn't frame you, my memory has suffered a serious loss, and it has been sealed, just like you." The last sentence shook me straight in place.
At this time, I suddenly remembered what he said at the beginning, and also remembered my initial question - what is the "aesthetics of the earth"? I turned around and looked at him, I needed an answer.
"Your memories are sealed, and they're outrageously crude." He was still very intellectual, and I automatically ignored the second half of the sentence: "Who did it?" β
"I don't know, I only woke up two years ago, my energy is seriously lacking, if it weren't for the fact that you suddenly replenished a lot of energy today, I'm afraid it will take a while to get in touch with you, as far as my observation in the past two years, your memory has been in a regular active state, obviously artificially regulated, and this accuracy shows that this technology is still extremely immature."
I couldn't understand his unfinished and unannotated words, and this kind of communication was torture without knowing anything, but these are all I wanted to know. "Speak the Earth! And be detailed! I almost gritted my teeth and spat out those nine words.
"Uh~" He was also stunned for a moment, and then said curtly: "My memory is seriously blocked, so I have been sorting it out for the past two years, and the human technique of sealing my memory is too ingenious, leaving a lot, sealing a lot, and modifying a lot, I know that you are very curious about people's thinking, and you should also understand that consciousness is not isolated, and there is a more or less connection between memories, but I still can't deduce any substantive content from it." β
"But the difference between you, if nothing else, is that sometimes you yourself have subconscious senses about certain things, and this phenomenon clearly shows how bad they are. Not only that, but your mind has been sealed, modified, and unsealed many times, and it is like a beggar suit that has been sewn and broken many times, and there are also problems that make your consciousness split into two pieces that are barely connected, and it is a complete mess. However, this technology is not something that this planet can have, so it is clear that you and I are not from here. In the past two years, although I can't actively communicate with you, but it's okay to passively accept information, the level of civilization here is very low, in my memory can only barely rank to the primary civilization, and your everything, physical fitness, reflexes and brain development have initially reached the level of intermediate civilization, obviously, your past is very problematic, and it is not a trivial matter to face in the future. β
From these few passages, I don't have much useful information to gain at the moment, but I have come to understand one thing - I am in a terrible situation. What is the Mind Seal? Just listening to it is an extremely troublesome thing; What is an "artificially regular active state"? Doesn't that mean that people have been doing things to me all the time, like the perfect time from night to 2 a.m. every night! But what can I do about it?
Inexplicably, two familiar and unfamiliar figures flashed in my mind, and I felt a throbbing pain in my heart, and shook my head fiercely, trying to exclude them, but I couldn't convince myself.
"So, what do you mean by seeing me?" I looked at him and said that this meeting should definitely not be a one-sided exchange of information.
"Yes, you're smart, and you're lucky, I already know what kind of being I am, I have a lot of experience, enough knowledge to satisfy you, and the right way to train you, and you have to help me find the truth about my amnesia - it's a good deal for you and me."
At first glance it does sound like a good deal for me, but I believe it's not that simple, "What do I do?" β
"It's very simple," he slowly rose into the air, floated out of the mountain path, and hung in the vast heavens and earth, "sign a contract with me, a contract of equal coexistence." β
"No," I immediately refused, coexisting as equals? I would never believe that tying my life to someone else is not my style, "It can't be." β
"I know you," he laughed again, his smile always so unscrupulous and harsh, "so I know you're not going to agree this time, and I'm not going to simply let you agree, just for fun." β
"The next time we meet again, you're in a deep crisis, and you have no choice. From here, let's head to the top of the mountain, step by step, through the shadows behind every ray of sunshine, and I'll be waiting for you at the end. With that, he sprang into the air and disappeared before my eyes.
"Next time?" I lowered my eyes, and when I opened them again, a huge quartz clock appeared in front of me, and the silence around me was like that, dead silence with the sound of snapping......
