White Mist Chapter 048 Snowman

"Here it is...... Living room? ”

Looking at the familiar interior layout, and looking at the sunset outside the window, Luo Lei secretly determined the current time point, and it would not be too long before the jump.

After looking back and forth in the room, he realized that the orange rocket painting frame hung on the wall behind him where he had just stood......

"Hmm...... Does it seem that this is the rule of the linear timeline? Jumping through a memory fragment, then the landing place of the next scene must be related to this memory fragment. ”

At this time, the house was empty, it seemed a little quiet, and Ma Ke and Ma Xingkong were not in the house, so Luo Lei didn't know where to start for a while.

But suddenly, Luo Lei, who has a smart ear, heard footsteps outside the house and was moving towards the door......

"Oops!"

This made Luo Lei a little scrambling!

"In broad daylight, a stranger suddenly appears at home, and even a virtual character is bound to react unpredictably."

Hurriedly looking in the living room for a while, Luo Lei had to quickly dodge and run towards the top of the stairs.

But before he could run up, he found that his body began to gradually become transparent, slowly blending in with his surroundings.

"It's ......"

Luo Lei, who found that he had become a "transparent person", slowly stopped, looked at his hands and feet, and then understood what was going on, and complained in a low voice: "Pony, why didn't you tell me in advance if you have this function?" ”

In the real world, Pony doesn't answer this question, as it's just a basic operation.

The next moment, Luo Lei saw the door opened, only to see Marco walking in from the outside, holding a short shovel and a small bucket in his hand, on which there was still snow water, apparently just used.

The old Marco staggered a little, closed the door panting, shook his body, and looked cold and tired.

Because Luo Lei turned into a transparent state, Marco naturally couldn't see him; After entering the door, he randomly found a corner to put down the tools in his hand, then straightened up with difficulty, and after a long sigh of relief, paced to the orange rocket painting, and looked at it with great interest......

The direction of the painting is parallel to the gate, and because Marco's angle is facing away from Luo Lei, the expression on his face cannot be seen clearly.

However, Marco's back made Luo Lei feel a little depressed in his heart for no reason.

Just now he noticed Marco's appearance, which looked very similar to him in the previous scene, revealing a sickly color in his old state, which was enough to prove that time was not far away.

Therefore, he did not stay too long, but looked around, carefully with his hands and feet, so as not to cause some unnecessary movements.

"Hmm...... The orange painting is a memory fragment of the previous scene, so let's look for something else first. ”

Thinking so in his heart, Luo Lei looked elsewhere, and the first thing that caught his eye was the clock with a simple style and elegant texture, and the dial showed 4:28 p.m.

After a rough look, Luo Lei didn't feel any significance.

Worried that he had found nothing in the room, he looked at Marco again, who was staring at the frame by the wall in a daze, and found that there was still snow on his body that had not yet melted, and the backs of his hands and fingers were a little red from the cold......

"Do you mean ......?"

Luo Lei suddenly remembered some of the strange behaviors that Ma Xingkong talked about before, which seemed to mention "building a snowman", when even with a transparent body through the door, came to the courtyard of the manor.

Sure enough, a snowman with a round head and a round head stood in the courtyard.

Two stones for eyes, a carrot for the nose, and two branches of uneven length stuck on the left and right of the body, all seem to tell the same thing......

"Looks like your dad didn't have a good childhood." Luo Lei stared at the snowman's face for a while, touched its nose, and said to Ma Xingkong in the air.

It is true that my father rarely mentioned anything about his childhood...... Suffice it to say, almost nothing was said about me! It was only after this hippocampal memory extraction that I barely managed to see some fragments. ”

"What's it?" Luo Lei asked.

"I can't tell...... Childhood memories in the hippocampus are very disordered, and many nodes are broken. ”

Ma Xingkong said in an accentuated tone: "Pay attention to my wording - broken, not missing!" Memory loss is simply forgetting; And the memory is broken, which means that my father may have been stimulated abnormally at that stage...... Trauma and trauma are all possible. ”

Luo Lei's expression couldn't help but froze, and his words made him begin to feel that this operation was not as easy as he imagined.

And Ma Xingkong reminded again: "Brother Luo, you must be careful of these broken memory points!" Unlike those who have lost their memories, they are completely absent from the hippocampus; These broken memory points are like traps hidden in some corner of the linear timeline, and if triggered, they can cause irreparable and serious consequences to you and my father's mental power! ”

"What consequences?" Luo Lei asked solemnly.

"I'm not sure ......"

Ma Xingkong pondered for a few seconds and said, "The broken memory point is still a memory scene, once you touch the memory fragment related to it, you will jump into it!" It will depend on how much my father was mentally hurt when this memory happened......"

"You just have to tell me the best and the worst outcome." Luo Lei's sword frowned slightly.

"Light is wind and rain, lightning and thunder; At worst, the sky will fall apart, and disillusionment will be shattered! ”

"That means that if it's very serious, my mental power will also be damaged?" Luo Lei felt a little hairy in his heart.

"Theoretically, that's ......"

Ma Xingkong added: "But since the advent of the linear timeline product, it seems that there has not been such a case!" ”

Luo Lei covered his face and said sincerely: "I really hope that what I have entered is the memory of an ordinary person, not your father's!" ”

The more he talked to the pony, the more he panicked, so he decided to keep his mouth shut and began to study the rough snowman in front of him.

Although the pile is very ugly, Luo Lei can indeed see the degree of care of the pilers from some details.

"Marco is very serious."

Thinking in his heart, Luo Lei tried to press his hand on the snowman's head; Not a head, to be exact, but a straw hat on that big bald head.

Sure enough, the system beep sounded again!

"Do you want to activate the memory fragment and perform a timeline jump?"

"Of course!"

Luo Lei is very decisive, at this moment he already has a premonition that the most suitable time to help Marco fulfill his wish is probably really going back a long time ago!

……

After a flash of white light;

Luo Lei opened his eyes again, but found that he was almost in the same place, and he hadn't moved!

In front of him, an old man and a young man were standing quietly in front of a tombstone not far away.

The old man was hunched on his back, his shoulders covered with snow, and he had obviously stood for a long time; The young man beside him was supporting him, holding a large shovel in the other.

In front of Luo Lei, there is still a snowman, but it is not the same as what I saw in the previous memory, maybe because the technique is more rusty, it is even uglier......

At this time, the sound of Ma Xingkong came out.

"This is the day we bury our mother's ashes."

Looking at the backs of the father and son, Luo Lei couldn't help but sigh.
