When Gray Yuan found Tang Ze, he was sitting alone on a bench on the side of the road, quietly watching the procession of floats that crossed the central axis of the amusement park drive far towards the exit.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, why did you come here?" With a sigh of relief, she leaned over to Tang Ze and glanced at the thing beside him with a strange expression, "This is, a puppet costume?" ”

"Hmm." Tang Ze looked at the bear puppet lying on the bench empty, and reached out to tidy up the messy fluff for it, "Mr. Xiong's soul has left for the time being, and I am here to watch the clothes for him, so as not to be taken away." ”

"You're really ......" recognized this familiar puppet costume, and the gray plain mourning who came to his senses looked at Tang Ze with an insightful look, "Sure enough, you were deliberately involved in this accident from beginning to end, right?" ”

"That's pretty much it. It's unlikely I've actually lost my memory, you've seen my medical records, right? Tang Ze narrowed his eyes and smiled, his expression was very gentle.

Perhaps because the light source was only a few fireworks in the sky, which could not illuminate his expression, this smile made Gray Yuan Wai feel a sense of loneliness.

“…… What's wrong? Seeing his expression, Gray Yuanai, who had a bit of a sense of guilt, put down his wrapped arms, "Are you in a bad mood?" ”

"No, I just feel a little ......" Thinking about how to describe his feelings, Tang Ze exhaled slowly, "Lonely." It's just a little annoyance of moaning without illness, it's okay. In short, the recent amnesia also has an element that I deliberately did to worry you, sorry. ”

"I knew you guys always had a good idea." Gray Yuan sighed with a childish cute face, and sat down next to Tang Ze on the other side, "Did you expect it a long time ago, you expected to encounter this kind of memory problem." ”

This bear puppet is the one they had encountered before the roller coaster in the morning.

She was able to understand Tang Ze's memory state, and his cognitive state was no different from that of ordinary people, mainly relying on the habitual operations formed in the long-term training list.

If memory is compared to data, Tang Ze's situation is more like, learning will not forget, then little by little manually classify things and store them in different folders, so as to avoid the consumption and lag caused by too large data calls.

He consciously constructed a system to simulate the normal memory mechanism of the human brain. This is a rather remarkable technique, and to be able to do this, the uncle and aunt who are in charge of the treatment, and Tang Ze himself, who can keep the mechanism running, are amazing.

It was really because of this that when she heard that Tang Ze had amnesia, her panic was especially huge.

Tang Ze's cause is that he can't learn to forget, and once he loses such a huge amount of "memory data", it may directly lead to another collapse of his personality and mental state that he has finally stabilized.

Uncle Tang Ze is no longer here, if he does it again, who can save Tang Ze?

On the way to the hospital when she heard the news, all kinds of bad expectations and emotions that were rising in her mind came to her mind again, but she just lowered her head and knocked Tang Ze's arm with a fist without any lethal force: "But it's still scary!" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Tang Ze flipped his palm, took out Kyosuke Kaze's strange thing, and handed it to Gray Hara, "This is the culprit of my 'amnesia', as compensation, you can play with this thing, maybe there will be some new discoveries." ”

Subconsciously caught what Tang Ze handed over, and it took a few seconds for Gray Yuan Ai to understand what he meant, and his eyes lit up.

"Kyosuke Kado's?"

"Yes."

"Didn't use Alloy X?"

"Nope."

"So, Miss Maori she'll recover......"

"I figured out how it worked, and used some sound, light, and distorted field effects to help her recover."

"So, this is a means of memory modification that can be reproduced......"

"To be precise, it's the blockade of memory, because our memories haven't really erased because of this."

"Great, it's ...... now"

The next words were stuck in his throat, and Gray Yuan glanced at Tang Ze, grabbed the camera in his palm, and did not speak.

If some external means were used to achieve memory blockade, then this research result may be the same as the treatment Tang Ze received at the beginning.

Tang Ze himself has recovered from the most serious memory disorder, but this does not mean that he cannot continue to research better treatment methods for him, further optimize his treatment plan, and reduce his burden.

However, this work could not be carried out. Until now......

"Thank you, great research idea." Ash Yuan held it in the palm of his hand and smiled implicitly, "I'll use it well." ”

Now, she is the only one left who can continue this kind of thing.

Treat Tang Ze and let him live as an ordinary person, healthy, happy, and without burden. This was their first and last wish.

"There's a question I haven't asked you all along." Capturing her sentimental and delicate emotions, Tang Ze felt that the atmosphere was just right, and said, "After my parents died, you stayed in the organization for a while. Is there anything you can tell me about their deaths? Of course, if the answer is very difficult for you, you can not answer me. ”

“…… I haven't been exposed to specific situations. Gray Yuan's voice lowered.

Not only did she not know, but she was also the one who was hidden, and the organization needed her to work hard.

It was precisely because she finally heard the news and sensed their departure that she had a fierce dispute with the organization, and then was stimulated by her sister's death and went to the most extreme step......

However, there is no need to tell Tang Ze about this.

"But I believe they didn't suffer too much." Ash Yuan suppressed the trembling in his voice and said softly, "They were prepared for a long time, and told me that once they found out that something was wrong, they would choose to end their lives, so that I didn't have to feel sorry for them." ”

"That's right." Tilting his head back, Tang Ze looked at the first quarter moon, which was distracted by the fireworks in the sky, and closed his eyes, "That's good, that's enough." ”

He raised his hand, grabbed Gray Yuan's thin shoulder, and gave the little girl who had too many things in her heart a relieved hug.

"I will not live up to their promises." Hugged by Tang Ze and buried in his coat stained with the cold of the night, Gray Yuan said sullenly, "You will get better and better." ”

"Well, we will."

I see, Leon, so for now, be quiet.

Kicking the already empty puppet with his heel, Tang Ze shook his head, led the gray plain mourning, and walked in the direction of the large army.

As he walked, he opened his system interface and checked the tech tree panel that was opened when Gray Yuanai's coop was unlocked.

The very center of the panel, which had been shrouded in a gray mist, was finally revealed.

The thorns and feathers are intertwined and intertwined in the center, forming a chain that is intertwined into the shape of a lock, and the chain itself forms the K-shaped shape of the flower, which exudes an unkind red light in the interlaced lines.

So this part that didn't show direction before...... It's studying me, right?

Indeed, it should not be forgotten that the real intersection of cognitive science and medical research is Tang Ze himself.

In a sense, he belongs to the one who is surrounded by the two major civil sciences, and the blessing is really small.

Pouting, Tang Ze waved his hand and put away the page.

"Although the rank is up, I am not happy, but I feel that you are giving me a puzzle again." Tang Ze looked ahead and whispered in a small voice, "Let's talk less riddles, riddlers will not grow if there are too many riddlers." ”

Behind them, the blonde man who opened the door and walked out from behind the bushes glanced at the backs of the brother and sister, shook his head helplessly, walked to the bench, and picked up the puppet costume that had been abandoned in the middle of nobody.

"Wayward guest." In the same small voice, Leon said, "I'm telling the truth. ”

————

"Who the hell am I......" took a few steps before Leon's voice began to sound slowly.

"No riddles." Tang Ze raised a hand and interrupted Leon's pre-casting shake first, "If you really can't reveal it, just say that you don't know, don't come back to those few words, mirror, accomplice, ears callouse." ”

Regarding the real situation in Leon, Tang Ze naturally doubted and asked about it......

But almost every time, he was beaten back by Leon's riddle.

Asking and asking, it's always the same rhetoric.

As mentioned before, if this is a serious P series sequel, Tang Ze's velvet assistant shouldn't be an adult male like Leon who is obviously older than him, but if Leon is, the conspiracy of the false god or something, it doesn't fit too much.

First of all, he is indeed a serious assistant who can manipulate the whole book of Tang Ze's personality, and secondly, the information he has is too comprehensive, the kind of comprehensiveness that breaks the fourth wall.

Leon not only knows everything about Tang Zezhao, but also knows everything about Tang Ze, he can easily understand the strange words and stalks that come out of Tang Ze's mouth, and it seems that he really knows Tang Ze very well, like his mirror-like existence.

If he is something, a phantom created by a pseudo-god or something, he has obtained so much information through Tang Ze, then Tang Ze is still playing a fart, you can vote.

In principle, Tang Ze absolutely trusts Leon's position, but considering the actual situation, it is difficult for him not to question Leon's identity.

"Are you supposed to be another time-traveler or something?" Tang Ze squinted his eyes, trying to see Leon's expression at the moment through the puppet costume, "Or are you what my parents made up, my other personality?" My shadow or something? Like Noah, the body and the shadow are separated? Ah, no, you're a fragment of my father's consciousness or something...... That's the end of it, it's a mess of generations. ”

"Don't guess." Directly took off the hood on his head, Leon shook off his short blonde hair that was a little wet with sweat, and his face was full of crying and laughing, "Guess again, you should say that I shouldn't be the final boss or something." ”

"Well, so you're there?" Tang Ze was half teasing, half serious staring at Leon's side face.

“…… It's a long story. Let's go sit down there and talk. ”

Slowly moving away from the crowd, the two men sat down on the bench.

The bear puppet's smiling head was rested by Leon's hand, slightly separating Tang Ze from him.

"As you might guess, I do know a lot of things, including some that you don't know yet." Leon blinked, his golden eyes stood out in the dim night, like a cat's eyes, "I don't have permission to tell you much, so I'm hiding something...... That's right. ”

"You really already knew that I was Tang Zezhao." Tang Ze, who was very sure of this, was not surprised, "This is the point of my question, and you must understand what I mean." ”

"Well, who prescribed this 'permission', that's the problem, right?" Leon hooked the corners of his mouth, took out his blue hat, and put it back on his head, "'God', or rather, 'the world', stipulates this authority. My true identity, you have also reasoned and predicted. I am your 'judge', I am the one who is destined to witness all this, to judge all this. ”

"Yes, you're the referee. That's why I haven't questioned your 'omniscience'. Still without any sense of surprise, Tang Ze raised his hand, slapped the puppet's head hard, and narrowed his eyes, "So what exactly do you want to judge, how do you judge me, how do I use my power, and referee whether I will destroy the world?" And why are you doing this? ”

In the final analysis, this is the root of Tang Ze's problems, and the reason why he has doubts about Leon's identity.

The velvet assistants are essentially guides made by the long-nosed old man, and they themselves should not have played such an important role that can directly influence the plot.

Not to mention Leon's sharp comments that haven't stopped since they met.

To say that he is just a created assistant, a brand new, a soul that has been given a mission, just because the identity of the assistant received Tang Ze's memory...... It's a bit unreasonable.

"To ask this question is proof that you've really gained a lot in this world, guests." Without any resentment because of the hostility implied in Tang Ze's words, Leon smiled again, his light-colored pupils, light-colored hair, and pale skin made his whole person feel as transparent and unreal in the moonlight, "You are on guard against me, beware of my existence, which will threaten your current life itself." This is good. ”

"So, what's the answer?" Without being diverted from the topic, Tang Ze continued to ask very seriously, "What will happen if I don't meet your standards?" ”

"Hmm......" Holding his chin with a wide puppet glove, Leon pondered for a moment and replied calmly, "Maybe I'll do it all over again." ”

"Do it all over again?"

"yes, do it all over again." Turning his head and looking directly into Tang Ze's eyes seriously, the golden light in Leon's eyes was more than the fireworks in the sky for a moment, "You are doing a good job at the moment, I don't think you need to worry about this problem, everything has ushered in the best ending at the most appropriate time."

"Yes, I have seen all your efforts to change all this, so I am your accomplice and mirror...... Don't ask me, just ask yourself, guest.

"If something happens that makes you regret it, and you think you can change it, you can save it, but you don't do it, what do you choose?"

Getting this unexpected answer, Tang Ze was slightly stunned.

If he doesn't succeed in doing so......

“…… Do it all over again? ”

"Yes, do it all over again." Hanging his head, Leon closed his eyes and replied sincerely, "My standard is your standard, what you can't accept, I can't accept, and what you are satisfied with, I am equally satisfied."

"You ask me, the standard of my adjudication, you ask who I am. The answer to this question is – I am yourself, Don Ze. A you who has eliminated many elements, a you who knows more than you know. I look at everything you have walked to this day the way you see the world, and you are such a person, so I am such a person. Isn't that weird? ”

Looking at Leon's face, Tang Ze, who was able to speak well, rarely felt speechless.

"Someone's coming." Leon turned his head precisely, looking at the girl who had also left the crowd and groped in their direction, "I should almost ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the empty puppet costume deflated and collapsed on the bench.

He was decisively stuffed back into the velvet room by Tang Ze, who didn't want to see him for the time being.

————

"What the hell are you angry about, I'm telling the truth, guest." Reiterating this principle again, looking at Tang Ze, who was holding a bottle of whiskey and blowing on the bottle, Leon made an innocent expression, "I am yourself, and you have made this judgment." How can you call a riddle? ”

"It's meant to be a riddle." Rolling his eyes, Tang Ze said very unceremoniously, "As a result, my question was not answered, and I got more puzzles, which is very unkind." ”

Although the answer of "do it again" answered some of Tang Ze's questions and made him relax a little, it did not prevent Lyon from essentially still going around the bend.

Indeed, if what Leon said is true, his criterion is that if Don Ze himself is not satisfied with the ending, he can make everything "do it all over again", then Leon's identity is actually more akin to a fallback mechanism than a ruling.

In other words, he may be Tang Ze's real "archive", a kind of guarantee that you can go to SL if the ending is unsatisfactory.

But this sentence I am you, just slightly ruled out a few options that were unlikely to be outrageous, such as Leon is another time-traveler, or Leon is his father, etc., and still doesn't really answer Tang Ze's question.

What kind of form is he the "other Donze"? Personality? Shade? Mask? Or is it his own in other world lines?

Under Tang Ze's scrutinizing gaze, Leon poured some of the same whiskey into his glass, smiled, and replied in a soft tone: "I am you, you are me, I have been telling you the truest answer...... And, after all this time, haven't you gotten used to it? This world is like this, one person makes a question, one person answers, and time will go forward. Who let you have bad luck and came to a world made of mystery stories, pay attention in the next life. ”

"Not only the Riddler, but also the yin and yang, a little too much."

"Who is the person looking in the mirror? Even if I am a yin and yang weird riddler, it only shows that you yourself like to be a yin and yang weird riddler. Who's to blame, guest? ”

“…… Open the door, I'm not sleeping, hurry up, let me out! ”
