Chapter 294: The Echo of the Aftersound
Chapter 294
The echo of the aftersound
In this world, we who are ignorant can only know a very small part of what is true. Our knowledge of history basically comes from textbooks or historical facts compiled by others. We never know if that's true because we can't go back. Even if we see it with our own eyes, can we be sure that it is true? []
We, can't.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
At the door of the "report", a girl in a military uniform stood straight. Judging by her appearance, she is still just a teenage girl, no matter where she looks, she is just a young girl. But the two bars and one star she carried on her shoulders clearly told others that she was not as ordinary as she seemed.
"Come in." Inside, an old voice said slowly.
The girl walked in with her head held high, and stood up and gave a military salute with a "snap".
The furnishings in the room were plain, except for an old-fashioned desk and a wooden chair. In addition to this, there is only one old man standing in front of the window with his back hand in this small room. The old man's hair was gray, but his body was still as straight as a pine. The crisp military uniform looked extremely appropriate on him, as if he was born to wear it.
"Report to the General, Mission Accomplished"
The old man turned around, revealing a face that was not unkind in his majesty. He nodded approvingly and said yes, that's good. You go down first, Duoduo is waiting for you. β
The girl gave another military salute and walked out of the door without looking back.
It's a low, ordinary bungalow with some verdant vegetables growing at the back of the house. Aside from this house, most of the facilities outside are indistinguishable from ordinary villages. In fact, it is also marked on the map, and the place name is "Surabaya Village". Who would have thought that there would be an underground military base hidden beneath an ordinary hamlet?
Of course, if anyone underestimates the defense here, then the price he will have to pay will only be his life.
The girl sighed and walked slowly to another bungalow.
"Duoduo...... Are you feeling better now? The girl whispered to herself.
Duoduo is her best and the only one. Other people who belong to the same combat team can only be called "of the same kind", not even comrades. Everyone only gets together when they go on a mission, and they usually have a circle of life. There is no warmth in this team, there is only iron discipline.
Therefore, a true friendship is valuable.
No one was the superior, and the old man who gave them the order only allowed them to call him "general". The tasks assigned by the general were varied, ranging from the execution of the leaders of the reactionary forces to the elimination of some old men with little reputation. Everyone in the squad can be said to be bloody, and the lives that die under their hands are not a problem to form a regiment.
Duoduo was also a member of the special combat unit, but now she can only stay in the base. The reason is simple, she suffered a serious head injury during a mission. If it weren't for the girl's desperate back, I'm afraid she would have been humanely destroyed by the captain. However, Duoduo became very strange after that mission.
The girl walked through the camouflage of the base and came to a facility located deep underground. Judging by her skillful appearance, it was clear that she did this a lot. Soon, she was in a dark room. The lighting in the underground facilities is all about lighting, and the sun outside the window is just a very realistic wallpaper.
"Duoduo, you don't turn on the lights." The girl sighed and pressed the switch on the light.
The lights are not on.
"Strange, is it broken again?"
"Ayu, you're here." In the dark corner, a girl's faint voice was heard.
"Duoduo, do you still think my name is Lin Yu?" The girl gave up trying and closed the door.
Darkness envelops everything.
The girl seemed to smile.
"That's what I should say. Ayu, your name is really Wang Tianyi? Ha, Tianyi, Tianyi...... Tianzi belongs to No. 1, and this clichΓ© code name is used as a name, which is ridiculous. The girl's voice was full of sarcasm. What's even more ridiculous is that the best of mine is to believe in it.
"Duoduo, our names were all taken by the dean. As orphans, we can only have a name, you can't force too much. β
"Orphans?"
"Yes, orphans abandoned by their parents. Don't talk about that. Duoduo, how have you been these days? β
"It's the same as before." The girl was plain and authentic.
"Have you been hungry for many days? You're going to die like this. β
"Dead? They wish I was dead. Birds hide their bows, rabbits die and dogs cook, isn't there only a dead end for useless tools? β
"Duoduo"
"Ayu, give me another big meal, just like it was a long time ago."
"Don't say any more, I'll get you something to eat, you wait first." The girl bit her lip and fled from the desert.
Banquet? We've had that kind of flower, my best, you......
At night, in the little house.
The girl lay on the bed with a dull gaze, thinking about all the things that were going on. She remembers very well, she has lived in this place for as long as she can remember. According to the dean, they were all orphans abandoned by their parents. When she was a child, Duoduo always listened to stories with her, and they were always the best.
"Where, exactly, did it come from? Hey, tell me okay? The girl muttered.
Next to her, countless white figures floated in mid-air, staring down at him. The faces of the human figures were very vague, and only a little bit could be discerned. Everyone felt familiar and familiar to her, as if they had spoken to her a long time ago. But now, none of them could speak, just watched her quietly.
The girl doesn't want to know where these white figures come from, and she doesn't want to.
"You guys, how nice it would be......" The more the girl thought about it, the more irritated she became, and she pulled up the quilt and put it over her head. Suddenly, she felt a hard object in her hand.
"What is this?"
Diary, very old, old diary. The cover of the diary was rubbed and tattered, as if someone used it regularly.
By the devil's hand, she opened the diary.
"November 3, 2006, fine.
Today we learned 1+1=2, so happy. β
The girl was slightly stunned.
"A schoolboy's diary?"
No, the childish words made her feel like she couldn't stop.
"On October 29, 2010, the weather was unknown.
My name is Lin Yu and this is my diary. I'm not the person called Wang Tianyi, that person is not me at all. The memories of the past were vague, and the same is true of the present. I can only rely on paper and pen to recall the real one, not Wang Tianyi. My companions are the same as me, but they can't write. β
"Huh? Lin Yu? This, is this Lin Yu's diary? But my name appeared in it. The girl frowned slightly. The Lin Yu inside made her feel terrified, because both had the same ability. If what the diary says is true...... Not only was she Wang Tianyi not an orphan, but she also killed her mother's heinous criminal.
Probably, it must be fake. Ha, it must be my broken ability that is in play again.
"On November 3, 2010, the weather was unknown.
I'm Lin Yu. Today, I have an extra companion, not those stupid people, but a real companion Everyone else calls her Wang Tianer, but she told me that her name is Qian Duoduo, and I am very happy, because I am finally not the only one like this. We ate the story meal together, played with the story toys together, and we were all very happy. β
The exclamation mark full of exclamation points sent chills through the girl's heart.
What's more, a "big meal" appeared inside.
"No, no, it's not good, it must be that Duoduo's ability hasn't disappeared yet, it's too good, I and Duoduo can fight side by side again" The girl forced herself to suppress the panic in her heart and shouted happily. Duoduo can see other people's thoughts, which is why she can enter the special combat unit, not one of them.
"On November 4, 2010, the weather was unknown.
I'm Lin Yu. Duoduo was taken away, and I was scared at that time. I thought they wanted to take away my only one. I wanted to tell them ghost stories, but Duoduo was always there, and I didn't dare. Me, whenever I tell a bad story, someone turns white. I'm afraid that Duoduo will also become the white person who can't. β
Seeing this, the girl subconsciously looked at the white figures surrounding her.
There are no flowers in it.
"On November 6, 2010, the weather was unknown.
I'm Lin Yu. Today, I was taken into the white room. They asked me to tell ghost stories to a little girl. No, I think that girl looks very familiar, a lot like me when I was a child. I told a ghost story, and then the little girl told one too. β
Storytelling? Could it be the "equivalence test" that the dean talked about? Hah, then this must be the most primitive experimental archive. Clones have only a small chance of possessing the abilities of the Primordial, and the clones they possess are not very good. Even if you can use the ability of the main body, it is only a disposable, just like a disposable item.
It seems that this so-called diary must be an experimental archive created from my memory.
"On November 7, 2010, the weather was unknown.
I'm Lin Yu. Yesterday I had a nightmare about a ghost story told by a little girl. Today, I'm going to tell a story to two little girls who look like me. β
Two? It's still too little.
"On November 30, 2010, the weather was unknown.
Am I Lin Yu? I don't. I should obviously be called Wang Tianyi, because I always thought it was Lin Yu? The little girls kept telling me stories, telling me the story of Wang Tianyi. I think the person in the story is me. Is it me, or is it Lin Yu? β
β¦β¦ Interesting experiment archive, isn't it?
Control ...... with the ability Think no more, it's just an experiment file
"On December 1, 2010, the weather was unknown.
I'm Lin Yu, Duoduo told me so. I'm her, I'm just her.
On December 2, 2010, the weather was unknown.
Duoduo said that with her, there is no need to write a diary. I think, that's right. β
The girl froze.
"It's ...... Duoduo's mind manipulation? β
Duoduo, have you ever used a power on me?
No, it's all fake, it's fake
But maybe Duoduo was just controlled by drugs? I have also used this drug and have used it to many people
No, no, that drug was developed in the last two months, and it doesn't match the diary at all
But this experiment file ......
Fake, this is what I can create, it's all fake
I'm an orphan, and I'm definitely not the murderer of my mother
The girl threw the diary far away, but a white female figure picked it up without saying a word, still holding a pencil with only one tip left.
It's like...... I've been using a pencil for a long time.
"You want me to do it?" The girl looked blankly at the white figure. She is a ghost, and these white people who have been with her for many years are not ghosts. To take the simplest example, they have entities. Ghosts don't have a physical body, but they do. She doesn't have these exactly, just using them can do things well.
The white figure flipped the journal to a blank page.
"You want me to keep a diary?"
The white humanoid figure is motionless.
The girl hesitated for a moment and took it.
"The weather is unknown.
I'm starting to journal again. During this period, Duoduo always told me about a person named Lin Yu, who I am not. Her name was written in her diary before, and I think it was someone else's. I am Wang Tianyi, a member of the special combat unit, an orphan. But the white figures that appeared in the diaries kept looking at me. β
The girl casually wrote a few sentences on it, then closed the journal and looked up at the white figures.
"Satisfied?"
The next day.
The "report" girl stood in front of the door, very excited in her heart.
"Come in." There was not a trace of emotion in the general's voice.
The girl gave a military salute and reported loudly to the general, Colonel Wang Tianyi has a special situation to report"
"Say."
"According to my observation, Major Qian Duoduo's ability has not disappeared"
The general's expression did not move, and he faintly authenticated the evidence. β
The girl's doubts flashed away. The previous generals obviously liked me and Duoduo the most, because our abilities can be said to be invincible together. If she hadn't been ambushed by the enemy, Duoduo wouldn't have ...... Strange, now the general is so cold? Aren't we his right-hand men? Forget it, it's important to get Duoduo back to normal
The girl told everything that happened yesterday in detail, and even took out the diary.
The general grabbed the diary with some eagerness and kept looking through it.
"Smack"
The general slammed the diary on the table, frowned and shouted Colonel Wang Tianyi"
The girl snorted.
"Yes"
"What did you take? A bunch of blank paper"
The girl was stunned for a moment, her mouth opened, but she couldn't speak.
"They can't see what I've written."
In the diary...... Is that true?
No, it's all fake, it's all my senses
"I'm worried about Major Qian Duoduo, but you can't forcibly pull her out of the base. Her illness is difficult to treat, and staying outside will only cause a lot of inconvenience. She's there for her good and for your good. Okay, let's go down first. The general waved his hand and stopped looking at her.
The girl could only bow and retreat.
It didn't take long for a piece of bad news to reach her ears.
Duoduo suffers from a strange terminal illness. The iron in her blood was rapidly decreasing, and it would all be gone in less than a month. When the time comes, only the most painful death awaits her. In order to prevent this man who had made a significant contribution to the country from suffering on the last leg of his life, the general decided to let her die quietly.
Performed by maidens.
She can give people the most painful way to die in the world, and she can also make people die quietly in peace.
The difference is just the content of the story.
At night, in a dark room.
"Duoduo?"
"I'm here."
"You...... Feeling unwell? "Don't skip words.
"It's not uncomfortable, it's just a little cold lately. Finish? β
Cold? If you don't have iron in your blood, you will feel cold
"Duoduo, I don't want to lose you," the girl said with her head in her hands, choked up.
The girl seemed calm.
"Oh? Is it finally going to do something to me? β
"It's not above, it's you who have a terminal illness, you can only ......"
"Ten days, or half a month?"
"One month ......"
"Good, kind. Who is the one who executes me? The girl sneered.
"Duoduo, the general asked me to tell you a story......"
The girl didn't, she seemed to be stunned.
"Really...... It's good. Ayu, then you can tell me a story. β
"I don't want to"
The girl's voice suddenly became gentle.
"Rather than die at the hands of those beasts, you should kill me. Perhaps, this is the best way for me to die......" The girl's voice grew weaker and weaker.
This is the end of the dialogue.
Before going to bed, the girl took out her diary and wrote today's diary on it.
"The weather is unknown.
Today, the chief asked me to tell Duoduo a ghost story. I don't want to talk about it, because Duoduo is the only one for me. I, after the story, she would turn into a white person and be there watching me all the time, because it was said in the diary. But Duoduo wants me to tell me, I shouldn't still be a diary. β
Duoduo, will you also become the white humanoid mentioned in the diary?
No, I don't
Those white ones are just tools of battle, but you are mine
My one and best
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The next day, the girl stayed with Duoduo all day. Duoduo has been there, but what she said was all about Lin Yu.
It was still dark in the house and the heating was on sufficiently. But Duoduo kept saying that it was cold, and it was still the same with three layers of quilts on her body.
Maiden, her situation is worse than she imagined.
"Ayu, we are the best and the only one. Do you remember these? Ha, you must not remember. Our memories are all false, and I am the one who makes you forget everything...... Is this punishment? Hit the best, and finally let me recover my memory alone. Such a punishment,
Just right for me. β
"Duoduo, don't talk about it......"
"Why can't you say? The truth is in my words, but you have not listened. β
"Duoduo, I'm Tianyi, it's Wang Tianyi, you don't call me Xiao Yiyi like before, but call me Ayu"
"Because that's the truth."
"Fake, those are all fake"
The girl's cold hand caressed the girl's face and rubbed it gently.
"Ayu ......"
"I'm not Ayu" The girl slapped the girl's hand away and ran out of the door.
"Ayu, what should be faced, after all, must be faced. Don't worry, I'll be with you as I did before......"
On the ground, the general's room.
"General, Duoduo, Duoduo she ......" The girl bit her lip and couldn't cry.
Why, why do you want to call me Ayu until the end? I'm not Lin Yu, I'm not the murderer who killed my mother
Aren't we? Isn't it the best?
"Tianyi, Duoduo is no longer the person you know. The disease robbed her of her sanity, but you were still awake. You're the best, and you don't want to watch her suffer like this all the time, do you? The general sat beside the maiden, his well-maintained hand caressing the top of her head.
"But, but let me ......"
Really, do you want me to kill Duoduo?
The general sighed and recalled, I still remember, when you were young, you always lay on my lap, let me tell you stories. Although the two of you are not close, you are closer than kisses. Alas, it's all mine, I shouldn't have let you go to war......" Tears slid down his face.
"General, since we have the ability that others do not have, we naturally have to do our part for the motherland."
"But, now Duoduo she's crazy......"
"I should do it."
Duoduo, we're the best, right?
Since it is, I can't watch you suffer so much
Let me carry all the pain, even if you don't remember me anymore.
Just, that's it......
"The weather is unknown.
Duoduo talked to me a lot, and the words were all about the person named Lin Yu. She said, I am Lin Yu, her best and the only one. The chief said, Duoduo has gone crazy, and is no longer the Duoduo I know. I think so too, because Lin Yu doesn't exist at all. There is only Wang Tianyi in the world, and there is no Lin Yu. I don't want to see her in pain, because she's mine too. I think it's time to tell her ghost stories. β
That day, it was still the same dark room.
The girl is calm, always calm.
"Ayu, are you going to tell me a story today? I don't want Snow White, because the Queen's apple is so poisonous that it must have hurt. You, I'm afraid of pain. Well, let's talk about the little match girl, I like that. Oh, by the way, the last grandmother remember to replace you, that must be the best ending for me. β
"Duoduo, aren't you calling me by my real name at this time?" Don't skip words.
"I've been calling you by your real name......"
However, there is only Wang Tianyi in the world, and there is no Lin Yu......
The girl no more, but quietly tells the story.
"The Little Match Girl".
The first match was polished.
In the firelight, a room full of toys was reflected.
"What a nostalgic puppet, we used to call it Jigi the bear."
The second match was polished.
In the firelight, a sumptuous feast was reflected.
"Ha, I really want to take a bite. That taste, I won't get tired of eating it for a lifetime. β
The third match was polished.
In the firelight, the girl's quietly smiling face was reflected.
There was no sound.
"Duoduo...... Hmm"
Headache, headache
These memories, yes?
"Mom, someone will ask you a question when you go to the bathroom. Do you want white tissue paper or red paper? β
"November 7, 2006, fine.
This morning, Mom was gone. The toilet was red. I was scared, but my dad hit me. β
Oh my God, don't
"On November 3, 2010, the weather was unknown.
I'm Lin Yu. Today, I have an extra companion, not those stupid people, but a real companion Everyone else calls her Wang Tianer, but she told me that her name is Qian Duoduo, and I am very happy, because I am finally not the only one like this. We ate the story meal together, played with the story toys together, and we were all very happy. β
Please, don't
"No, none of these are me, none of them are me."
Isn't it me?
I'm Wang Tianyi?
No, I'm Lin Yu, the classmate who killed him, the mother who killed him, and now the only villain
It's not just them, there's more, more......
I am?
I am an executioner, an executioner who wields only a butcher's knife at those who care for me
yes, Duoduo, you've been calling me by name.
It's me, and I haven't responded to you
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
The white humanoids were just staring at her in mid-air.
Duoduo is also among them.
The girl fell to her knees weakly and wrote her last diary in her diary.
"The weather is unknown.
Duoduo is dead.
I'm Lin Yu.
An executioner. β
