Chapter 523: The Crack in the Wall
Insisting on believing in his memory, Long Yun is not stubborn.
From a rational point of view, he is of course well aware of the fact that human memory is not always 100% reliable, but a relatively coarse, even implicitly distorted image of the objective world. If the memory is really completely reliable, then those with amnesia and delusions will not have to suffer anymore.
But then again, the most certain thing a person can be sure of is his own memory; If you can't even rely on this thing, then what else can you believe?
Denying his memory, of course he will subconsciously avoid this terrible thought, and the evidence that supports his denial of this idea is that Su Xue and the two of them have completely consistent memories of this matter. After all, the two of them had read the relevant materials together that night; Because it is about Lyudmila who travels through the world, the two of them also look very carefully, and the memories left behind should be said to be absolutely not so outrageous.
In this case, after ruling out all these two possibilities, a seemingly fanciful speculation left in his consciousness naturally came to his mind:
Could it be that the event itself, what has changed?
――But what does that mean, and does it mean that what has already happened will change?!
"Long Yun, what you just said...... What is the meaning? ”
Unconsciously spied into Long Yun's inner thoughts, Su Xue was also quite shocked, but she didn't quite believe in such speculation; Or rather, this speculation is so weird that she doesn't want to and doesn't dare to believe it.
Facing Su Xue's inquiring gaze, Long Yun did not answer immediately.
Because at this moment, it seems to be a lightning bolt in the night sky. Suddenly, he remembered something else that seemed unrelated.
That was more than two months ago. He was hit by Erich Rudolph while crossing and parachuted. After a brief adventure in the French escape, he was rescued from the Brittany estate; Just after the end of that trip back to reality and being in the real world of the Brittany manor, he accompanied Shangguan Ling out for a walk, and found it in the trunk of a big tree.
A 5.45 mm caliber warhead.
The rusted twisted warhead, the scene of being pried out of the trunk wood seems to be extremely real in front of you; The fragment of memory that had been sealed in the dust in his memory and might never be intentionally mentioned again in his life came out of the deepest part of his consciousness with a slight chill at this time, making Long Yun shiver unconsciously.
That extremely strange warhead had caused him great horror at that time. Although he also comforted himself later, it was just a coincidence, but ......
But today, isn't the bizarre scene in front of me a little similar to the warhead?
If all this qiē is a coincidence—and a coincidence, how can this be a coincidence, how is it possible!
In the previous encounter, he first shot outside the manor in the parallel world, and then in reality, a bullet embedded in the trunk of a tree appeared; Now, in the real world he's in. The singer who inexplicably resembles Lyudmila in the parallel world, and the details of the murder that led to her death have inexplicably changed. Think about two things together. Long Yun suddenly had a vague conjecture, the warhead that had been dug out of the trunk by himself earlier, it-
Most likely, it wasn't there all the time, but for some reason it popped up.
So in other words, could it be that the warhead, as well as the changes in the details of the current murder, were all caused by his actions in the parallel world?
Aren't these two worlds completely isolated from each other and have no connection with each other......
As the consciousness deepened, a strange and terrifying idea seemed to be suddenly awakened by the mind. His vision became a little blurred in a trance, and Long Yun only felt that something in his consciousness was collapsing; He stood up a little staggeringly, and the qiē he saw in front of him seemed to be changing into strange lights, all of them were transforming and emitting inexplicable light.
In the middle of the whirlwind, he was almost unstable and staggered.
It was now, with great horror and utter powerlessness, that there had been more than one rift in the solid wall that had always held him apart from these two so-called parallel worlds.
This—this is really ......
Completely shocked by his own assumptions, Long Yun collapsed on the sofa, almost thinking down on the spot.
Seeing that the face of the man in front of him was indescribably terrifying, and the thoughts of his consciousness snooping back were also extremely disordered, Su Xue couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him and let him slowly lie down on the sofa.
"Y-What's wrong with you? - Don't get up yet, I'll pour you a glass of water! ”
Because the consciousness of the two people is connected, Su Xue probably knows what Long Yun is afraid of now; However, probably because of the natural calmness and calmness of a girl, she was not completely overwhelmed like Long Yun, but ran to the water dispenser with her hands and feet to pour a glass of cold lemonade.
Reaching out to take the water cup, Long Yun took a small sip and slowly sipped it; The cold sensation seeped through his throat and along the fine blood vessels into his brain, and he felt that his mind was still a little more normal. The consciousness that was originally completely short-circuited has finally gradually recovered some of its normal functioning abilities.
Sitting next to her lover, feeling that he was a little better now, Su Xue didn't rashly mention the terrible topic just now, but just took out a tissue to gently wipe the cold sweat on Long Yun's forehead. After a while, she gathered her thoughts, and then slowly said her thoughts about this unbelievable event with some hesitation, of course, in a way that would not cause him to be nervous again:
"Long Yun, how is it, do you feel better now?"
"I ...... Much better. ”
Long Yun raised his hand and rubbed his temples, as if he was about to fall into thinking about the whole thing again, but was slapped by Su Xue raising his hand, "Ah, what's wrong?" ”
"You take a rest first, don't think about it so much," Su Xue's consciousness came clearly, and it seemed to have a sense of calming him for the time being: "Just now, I felt that you thought of another thing, related to what warhead; Now you straighten out your thoughts, don't get too nervous, can you tell us what it is? ”
"Oh...... Okay, I'll think about it. ”
Focusing on one thing is much better for Long Yun now.
So he settled down and first told Su Xue in detail about what happened in Brittany Manor in a confiding tone. Especially when he mentioned that he was walking on the outskirts of the manor with Shangguan Ling, saw the tree by the small bridge, and dug out the warhead from the tree, he spoke in great detail, and the corners of his eyes seemed to twitch slightly.
yes, how could that not make him tremble?
That strange parallel world, there are too many strange things to happen in it; And then now, there are signs of affecting the real world, so isn't the whole world they live in now in an inexplicable danger all the time, as fragile as fragile glass? (To be continued......)
