The smoky gray sky gradually replaced the dark blue, and the stars gradually changed from dark to bright.

The once peaceful and quiet town has gradually turned into a magical high-rise with neon flashes, and the highly saturated lights pierce the mist, reflect on the puddles of the streets, and are trampled by pedestrians.

New buildings are constantly being erected, new shop doors are opened, and new pedestrians are appearing.

In this constant replacement of the old and the new, Ning Yuan's memory, cognition, and consciousness are also being replaced little by little.

"Ning Yuan, where are you?"

"Ningyuan ......"

"Are you in the eternal night?"

“…… Code execution error, no target pointer retrieved......"

“…… Error, code 0x21124......"

“…… Cognitive defense program initiation failed ......"

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Ning Yuan asked suspiciously.

"I said, why are you so stupid?" The purple-haired girl knocked on Ning Yuan's skull angrily and said, "What do you think, rush in directly?" ”

Ning Yuan raised his head, looked at the brightly lit supermarket in front of him, and asked very suspiciously: "If we don't go in, how can we fill our stomachs." ”

"Look at the two of us wearing this, can the security guard let us in?" The purple-haired girl said angrily: "They don't want us to dirty the floor of the supermarket, they will throw us out." ”

Ning Yuan lowered his head, looked at the tattered clothes on his body, and said angrily: "These guys who look down on people. ”

As he spoke, a store around the supermarket quietly turned into a children's clothing store, and from time to time parents led their children into the children's clothing store, and after a while, the child walked out with a look on his face.

Afterwards, their family happily walked into the supermarket next to them, and Ning Yuan was envious.

At the moment he wanted a new dress, a new pair of shoes, but he simply didn't have the money.

"No way, who told us that we don't have any money?" The purple-haired girl shrugged.

Ning Yuan asked suspiciously: "There is a monitoring system in the supermarket, what should we do?" ”

"Don't worry, I have a way." The purple-haired girl smiled slightly and pointed not far away: "What do you see is that?" ”

Ning Yuan looked in the direction of the purple-haired girl's finger and found a huge box-type substation.

He looked at the little girl in surprise: "You don't want to ......"

"yes, yes, if you short-circuit that thing, the street will go without power." The purple-haired girl smiled and said, "At that time, we can sneak in quietly through the back door, how about it, I'm amazing!" ”

"Huh?" Ning Yuan was very frightened and said, "We won't be electrocuted." ”

"What are you coercing? What, you don't want to eat at night? You don't want to make money anymore? The purple-haired girl said speechlessly: "You are so cowardly, how can you do big things?" ”

Ning Yuan was a little timid: "But, if they find out that we did it, won't they beat us?" ”

"If only I had been beaten." The purple-haired girl lowered her head and said, "They will send us to a welfare institution, didn't Xiao Luo just be sent in, and then died, it is said that he was engaged in some kind of medical experiment......" ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz

"You're scary." Ning Yuan scratched his head: "I wanted to refute you just now, making black films and doing human experiments, the welfare institutions I remember are obviously not like this." ”

"Stupid! They need to make a profit. The purple-haired girl said speechlessly.

"Isn't there a fund and donations......"

"You're stupid, that's just a capital operation, and the welfare agency has no money." The purple-haired girl smiled bitterly and said, "Believe me, in this place of Yuanxu, none of those welfare institutions are real, and they are all lies. ”

"Ah, that's ......"

"Do you want to make any money?" The purple-haired girl said speechlessly, "I haven't seen you talk so much!" If you don't do it, I'll do it myself! ”

"I just want to eat!" Ning Yuan said loudly: "Why do I have to risk my life when I eat? You can't ......."

"So what else can I do? Dead? ”

"No, I mean find a place to ......" Ning Yuan's face was slightly red: "Begging ......"

"Begging for a fart!" The purple-haired girl scolded angrily: "You don't want to think about it, what is the begging like now?" Either the body is disabled to the point that the five organs are lacking, and the limbs do not exist, or the skin is white and beautiful, and there are long legs, and they can speak, sing, and dance...... Will we? ”

“……”

"And there are too many liars, who believes that begging people really have nothing to eat, you forgot, the day before yesterday, there was a young lady with short legs, who took off her legs in the morning and went around the bridge in the morning, and took her legs to go around the red light district at night."

"......" Ning Yuan was speechless for a while: "It feels different from what I thought." ”

"Didn't we have to have dinner before!" The purple-haired girl said speechlessly: "It's because I can't do it that I find other ways to live!" ”

“……”

Seeing that Ning Yuan was silent, the purple-haired girl asked, "If you have a better way, you say, if you can't say it, we'll do this." ”

Ning Yuan shook his head, and his expression suddenly became a little trance-like.

He didn't want much, just a new dress, a pair of shoes, a meal.

In my memory, these are obviously low-hanging fruit, how can I ...... now? How hard it is to get these yourself?

Clearly...... Just ask for it and you will have it.

Although it is not a delicacies from the mountains and seas, brocade clothes, but a simple clean clothes and a bowl of rice, as long as you ask them, you will have it.

To whom?

In the process of recalling, he suddenly felt a splitting headache.

The world in front of me is fading rapidly, the heavy and realistic colors are gradually monotonous, and the world is back to the state of ink painting.

Not far away, two figures were slowly walking towards him.

One man and one woman.

The man is tall and cold, with a majestic complexion, and the woman is petite and thin, with a gentle complexion.

The moment he saw them, Ning Yuan couldn't help but shout in his heart.

"Father, Mother......"

Parents?

Who are they?

"Brother! What are you in a daze! The purple-haired girl knocked on Ning Yuan's head and asked, "Do you still want to eat?" Do you still want to get rich? ”

Ning Yuan came back to his senses, looked at the purple-haired girl in front of him, and asked with some hesitation: "Sister, are we really going to kill the substation?" ”

"Then let's set a fire?" The purple-haired girl thought for a moment and said, "But if you set it on fire, it's easy to get caught......"

Ning Yuan thought for a moment and whispered, "Let's go and knock out the substation box." ”

The purple-haired girl kicked Ning Yuan's ass and said, "Then let's not go quickly!" ”

"Okay."

Under the billboard on the corner of the street, there are piles of cleaning tools, left behind by sanitation workers, just in time for the two children to wreak havoc.

After Ning Yuan and the purple-haired girl took the bucket, they collected some stagnant water from the street, and then came to the substation box.

The bucket was so large that it almost reached the chests of the two of them, but fortunately, there was little water in it, and the two children could still splash the water out when they worked together.

The purple-haired girl excitedly shouted the slogan: "One, two, three!" Walk you! ”

When water spills into the box-type substation, there is a burst of bright sparks from the substation, and then the lights of the entire street are dimmed.

The originally bright world was instantly gone.

The purple-haired girl took Ning Yuan's hand and said, "Come, brother, let's hurry up and enter through the back door, and the power will be restored in a while!" ”

"Hmm."

Ning Yuan ran after the purple-haired girl.

……

In the darkness, a little starlight shines on the earth.

The monk stood on the roof of the building, silently watching the two children running downstairs.

Beside him, there stood a woman with a graceful figure, who was now looking at the monk with a displeased face.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping me from waking him up? ”

The woman asked with a calm face.

The monk glanced at her indifferently and said calmly, "It's not time." ”

The woman shouted angrily, "Then look at it like this? Watching Ning Yuan's memory be tampered with little by little, his outlook on life, morality, and values being distorted a little bit, and his consciousness and cognition being destroyed little by little? ”

"Yes, look." The monk said extremely calmly.

"Why!" The woman asked with a cold face, "Tell me, why?" ”

“……”

The monk lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and then raised his head and said, "Guan Ya, you shouldn't have come. Shouldn't have come, Stewart shouldn't have unlocked the cognitive lock of the master and let you in. ”

"Are you ......" Guan Ya asked, "who are you?" ”

"You should be in the Anomaly Chip, you should." The monk said, "He can't wake up at this time. ”

"Answer me, who are you?"

The monk turned his head, looked at Guan Ya's eyes, and smiled: "Don't you have the answer in your heart?" ”

"Are you another personality of Ning Yuan?" Guan Ya's eyes widened, and she said angrily, "Are you looking forward to Ning Yuan's consciousness being demolished so that you can dominate the body?" ”

"One of the personalities, to be exact." The monk continued, "However, it is his decision to go to death. ”

Guan Ya frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

"What shall I say?" The monk scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's talk about the premise first, the reason why you can't wake him up. ”

"I'm listening." Guan Ya said with a cold face.

"Rock Dahl has given Ning Yuan a death hint, and if you wake him up now, you will get a dead Ning Yuan."

"Dead?"

"Yes, die." The monk said calmly: "If we enter that state, Rock Dahl can easily turn us into William Dahl, and there is no power to return to heaven." ”

Immediately afterward, he said with a wry smile: "Maybe the one in the eternal night can live, but it has nothing to do with the ruins. ”

"Death hints? I don't quite understand ......"

"The closer you get to the central nervous system, the closer to the brain, and the closer to the mind, the more mysterious the vocabulary becomes. The monk smiled slightly and said, "In other words, brain dead, vegetative, do you understand?" ”

"I ......" Guan Ya bit her lip, she thought for a moment and nodded: "People are alive, but consciousness thinks that they are dead, right." ”

"That's right." The monk nodded.

"Then let's just watch, Ning Yuan is replaced by William Dahl little by little?"

The monk smiled, "No, this is exactly his plan, a plan that amazes me. ”

Guan Ya frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

"His perception was shocked by death, and I didn't, and his mind was defenced into seeing Locke Dahl as a god, and I wasn't." The monk said calmly, "So, Locke Dahl can't do anything. ”

"You ......" Guan Ya frowned: "I...... I don't understand. ”

"Dreams are the process of combing memories by the human brain, have you ever thought about what the dreams of patients with multiple personalities are like?" The monk asked with a smile.

"I don't know."

"People with multiple personalities, each personality has an independent memory, and usually does not interfere with each other, but if two consciousnesses wake up in a dream, then their cognition and memory will blend."

The monk smiled and said, "This is all the knowledge of the one in the eternal night, and it happens to be used now, and I don't know what he is doing with this." ”

"So...... You're ......"

"Yes, at the last moment, he woke me up and made a hint to himself, regarding me as a god, but with a premise." The monk looked at Ning Yuan below and said, "Accept everything he has, and from now on, he and I, regardless of each other, will become one." ”

"Treat you as a god?"

"Yes, if I don't, I don't have the authority to do it." The monk smiled and said, "While Rock Dahl is dismantling his consciousness, I am also receiving his consciousness and his memory, so I can know you and know Stewart." ”

Guan Ya bit her lip, frowned and said, "But you're not him after all, he always called Stuart Gary, you...... Even if you have his memories, it's not him. ”

"That's why I say his plan is amazing, from the motivation to the surprise." The monk smiled bitterly and said, "He has subverted everything, subverted cognition and consciousness, subverted life and death, I will die, and he will live." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"When he made the decision...... He wanted me to live for him, to protect Stuart from being trapped in the shadow world and never coming out. The monk smiled bitterly and said, "But this also hurt me, and he didn't realize that the thinking he passed on was poisonous." ”

"Poisonous?"

"Yes, in his cognition, there is a toxin called death, and when I accept his thoughts, I will ...... Slowly sinking into death. The monk smiled wryly and said, "But I can't stop all this......"

The monk sighed and continued, "If I don't accept it, Locke Dahl will turn him into William Dahl, and when the memories change, we personalities will be like rootless water, unable to survive." ”

"Memory ......," Guan Ya groaned.

"Memory is a key part of personality." The monk said, "Without episodic memory, we personalities are only a bunch of experiential memories and cannot exist on their own. ”

"You're all going to die......"

"It's not just us, everyone is going to die. Sooner or later, Rock Dahl's tampering will spread to the essentia of the Eternal Night, and William Dahl's mind will not be able to withstand the Old God, and this body will become the minions of the Eternal Night, dying in the fire of the ruins. The monk said, "So I have to accept this poisonous thinking." ”

"Then why, are you going to die? And he will live? ”

The monk smiled bitterly: "Have you ever heard of Schrödinger's cat?" ”

"What does this theory have to do with your situation?" Guan Ya was puzzled: "Are you ......?"

"Yes, I will become a superposition of life and death, neither born nor dead, I can wake up at any time, and I will die at any time." The monk smiled wryly and said, "My cognition and his, together enjoy life and death, unless there is an additional consciousness that transfers death to one of us and then strips it away. ”

Guan Ya's eyes widened suddenly.

"Obviously, Rock Dahl won't do that, and that bastard in the eternal night can't touch here, so where can I find an extra consciousness?" The monk smiled bitterly: "Now there is an answer. ”

He paused, and then said, "Stewart unlocked the cognitive lock on Ning Yuan's main control and let you in, and you, which person's consciousness will you choose to strip away?" ”

Guan Ya closed her eyes and said without hesitation: "Peel it off...... Your consciousness. ”

The monk lowered his head, looked at the supermarket not far away, and said, "So, I choose the third path. ”
