Chapter 2 Fantasy Rivers and Seas

That one...... How do I go back to my old world?

[I can't go back.] 】

What......?

[You died suddenly while sleeping because of overwork. 】

Jin Jianghai felt his heart beat half a beat slower.

Uh, are you kidding?

Are you kidding?

You must be kidding, right?

The system did not answer Jin Jianghai's words, leaving him alone and muttering to himself.

Or...... It's actually a dream......

It's just a dream......

Jin Jianghai felt a sour nose, but his butterfly head at the moment couldn't shed a single tear at all, and his three extra arms and butterfly head were reminding him to accept reality.

But is it really a dream?

It is said that people wake up from their dreams after being greatly stimulated in their dreams. And Jin Jianghai was killed by the mimic employee just now, and the heart-to-bone pain did not wake Jin Jianghai up.

This is not a dream.

Jin Jianghai bitterly came to a conclusion.

He wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want to die.

He hasn't been able to confess to the people he loves, and he hasn't repaid the people who love him. He is reluctant to give up his old apartment, his relatives who are getting older little by little, the snack bar downstairs, his friends who played games all night together, and everything in his last life.

Jin Jianghai was unwilling to accept the fact of his death and could not face it calmly.

Under the TT2 protocol, time at this moment is infinitely close to standing still. And Jin Jianghai's consciousness seemed to be equally still, and finally, the voice of the system sounded, waking up Jin Jianghai's almost sleeping consciousness.

[Anyway, I wish you all the best of luck here.] 】

Enjoy... Accept...? How is it possible to enjoy it......

It is the world that accepts you, not that you were kidnapped into this world. 】

[If necessary, you can spend lob points to modify your memory.] Since you have just come to this world, this time you can modify your memories for free. 】

Hearing the system's proposal, Jin Jianghai was silent for a long time.

He didn't want to continue to suffer, but he also wanted to be able to live.

In the end, he made a cowardly decision. He decided to run away, as long as he threw away his memories, there would be no pain......

Can you erase the memories of my past life?

[The system can shield your memory to a certain extent.] Memory tweaks are a huge amount of work, and the system will temporarily erase all of your memories. In addition, the system can fill in the sense of dissonance of the memory gap by implanting false memories. Do I need to implant it? 】

I don't need to implant it, I just need to delete the memories of my past life.

[As you wish. 】

Jin Jianghai only felt a headache, and then, his consciousness dissipated.

Since then, as a human individual, Jin Jianghai has completely died, and what survives is only a fantasy that inherits the memory fragments of Jin Jianghai. The hollow sound of the system sounded,

[From now on, your name will be Jiang Hai. 】

I wish you a happy life in this world. 】

——

[Name: Jiang Hai.]

Anomalytes Class: ZAYIN

Abilities Acquired: None

Unlocked Anomaly: Dead Butterfly Funeral (1% Progress)]

Some of the anomalies came across the border between the 'river' and the 'sea', and their origin is unknown, which is the meaning of the name Jianghai.

When he woke up again, he lost the name of Jin Jianghai and all the associated memories that belonged to it, whether good or bad.

Jiang Hai only remembered that he was a human before, but now, he has become an anomaly. At this moment, Jiang Hai's memory has not been adjusted, he only remembers what happened yesterday, and everything else is still blank.

A cold mechanical sound sounded.

[Is it to start a new day?] 】

Be.

【Please select an anomaly】

【Naked Nest】

【Cosmic Fragments】

【Dead Butterfly Funeral】

Dead butterfly funeral rites.

——

Jiang Hai remembered that he had a long dream, but he couldn't recall the slightest bit of the dream.

It vaguely remembers ...... It used to be a human, but now it's an anomaly, and now it's like a lost lamb. I don't know what to do.

The dead butterfly funeral ritual held the coffin, waiting for the staff to enter the containment chamber to work on it. It's about communicating with people and getting them to let it out, it's human, not an anomaly.

They should not suppress it, they are all human beings and should live in harmony.

But this is just wishful thinking on the part of Jiang Hai.

In the eyes of the employees, the dead butterfly funeral is just a dishonest but easy to bully the anomaly, the other party does not have the slightest idea of peaceful coexistence with the anomaly, they only need to work on the anomaly, and it is enough to obtain enkephalins.

Words bordering on pleading, but in exchange for ruthless repression. At this moment, Jiang Hai has no thoughts of resisting, because in its subconscious, it still thinks that it is a human being.

Although the illusion has a strong ability to heal itself, and the wound will disappear after a while, the pain is real.

Stimulated by the pain, Jiang Hai begged for mercy several times, begging the employees to let it go, but the movements of the employees' hands did not slow down at all, and they suppressed Jiang Hai as usual, without any mercy from their subordinates.

Visionaries are illusions after all. All they need to do is stay in the shelter and wait for the staff to work on them to get enkephalin. Let? It's impossible.

The employees were surprised to find that after several beatings, Diego became very honest. It no longer runs out to hand out small butterflies to employees, and it stays in the containment chamber honestly.

In the face of repression, Jiang Hai did not resist at all, but just waited for the employees to give it death.

Such a change has intensified the pressure on the funeral of the dead butterfly.

Die.

Rebirth.

Die.

Rebirth......

In this process, the psychological suggestion of "I am a human being" is slowly fading in Jianghai's psychology. Jiang Hai began to slowly recognize the fact that he was a fantasy, and at the same time, it was absorbing and fusing the remaining memories of Jin Jianghai.

After his 16th death, Jiang Hai suddenly remembered a lot of things: the secret of this place, the story behind the Brain Lobe Company, and the vast amount of redundant information and knowledge that was left behind by Jin Jianghai.

Jiang Hai heard a whisper, not the cold and ruthless machine voice of the system, but a gentle and magnetic voice.

"Where do people go when they die?"

Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment, then fell into thought, and finally, he gave the answer.

"They can't go anywhere."

As soon as Jiang Hai's words fell, time froze again. But it didn't seem to be the moment to settle the settlement, Jiang Hai heard the familiar cold mechanical sound.

[Anomaly System Activation.] 】

[Currently unlocked Anomaly...... Dead Butterfly Funeral Ritual, progress 100%, unlocked Fantasy - Dead Butterfly Funeral Rite. 】

[Do you enter the world of the dead butterfly funeral?] 】

It's not known what's going on, but it's certainly not a bad thing.

Be. Jiang Hai said in his heart.

Space changes, time travels.

Jiang Hai went from the small containment room to another place in an instant.
