Chapter 146 It’s not an endless wait
It’s not surprising to see Han Xiaoyan here. She came here with all the long-legged nurses in the ward for reinforcements, but the result was not satisfactory. All the medical staff They are all infected, and the passage in front is almost blocked at this moment.
Luo Xi's approach alarmed the infected, and all of them looked towards Luo Xi with the faces of the fungus on their bodies.
But soon, the target changed.
Did not attack Luo Xi.
The reason is also very simple. Luo Xi is also an infected person now, and there are even more mold faces gathered on his back. It looks like he is carrying several terrifying heads on his back.
At this moment, Luo Xi was almost overwhelmed. He held on to the wall and tried to walk forward. The parasitic mold on his back was heavy, as if he was carrying a person weighing more than 100 kilograms.
When the infected people approached, they also ignored Luo Xi, including Han Xiaoyan, who had no expression at all.
Luo Xi just forced his way out of the crowded crowd.
Now his vision is very blurry, and the dizziness makes everything around him distorted and unreal. Even the touch of the body is lost. For example, he is clearly holding on to the wall, but Luo Xi couldn't feel the wall at all, and he couldn't even feel the existence of his fingers.
What supported Luo Xi at this moment was his willpower.
After finally passing through the crowd of infected people, Luo Xi saw a door at the end of the corridor.
The thick mold around the door is supposed to grow randomly, but at this moment, it actually formed terrifying human faces, as if the door had been framed, and it looked like a fan. The door leading to hell, Luo Xi even thought that he might have had an illusion. The mold on the door had grown extremely exquisite patterns, as if they were the work of some art master.
The distance to the folding door was only a few meters long. For Luo Xi, it was like climbing a peak. He almost tried his best to hold the door handle, using up his last strength. Use your strength to open the door.
There was a creak.
Luo Xi stumbled in, and he raised his eyelids that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and took a look.
The house is clean.
There were no various medical equipment as expected, no isolation beds, and no perverted doctors in white coats. In fact, there was nothing in the room.
There is only a table in the middle of the room. There is a chair behind the table and a man in black clothes is sitting there. The table is covered with all kinds of scratch paper. They are scattered everywhere. The person is holding a pen in his hand as if he is thinking hard.
After hearing the door being opened and someone coming in, the other party acted extremely surprised.
It was as if he never thought that someone would enter from the other side of the door.
He looked at Luo Xi with surprise and seemed to mutter: "Is there a bug? How could someone come in at this time?"
He looked at Luo Xi and shook his head again. He shook his head and said with a sense of indifference: "But it doesn't matter, he is going to die soon. Hey, wait a minute."
The other party seemed to realize what the problem was, and immediately stood up and looked at Luo Xi again.
"The infection is so deep that five ghost faces have gathered together. Not only are you not dead, but you can still find this place, and you can open this door despite all the pain and six desires. Who the hell are you?" Hei The man in clothes walked over with a frown.
After taking just two steps, he suddenly stopped.
Then stared at Luo Xi's face.
At this time Luo Xi's eyes were blank, he was dead.
According to the mechanism of the level scene, when the mold virus condenses into a grimace, the infected person will die, but Luo Xi actually endured a mental attack that would kill a normal person and survived. Five grimaces.
At this moment, the sixth grimace is almost taking shape.
But he died anyway.
Then the body suddenly fell to the ground, like a warrior falling on the road of charge.
But a dead person is a dead person.
Logically speaking, there is nothing to be afraid of, but at this moment, the man in black stared with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
Even for some unknown reason, his body was trembling.
"Am I blinded?" He murmured to himself, unable to help but swallow his saliva, his throat trembling up and down due to nervousness: "I must be blinded, it can't be him."
Black The clothes man said to himself, he tried to convince himself, tried to walk back to his desk, and then perfect the damn scene mechanism.
But when he walked to the seat, he couldn't sit down.
The next moment, he raised his head, quickly walked to the body in a few steps, and squatted down. These actions were all vigorous and resolute, showing a decisiveness and decisiveness. However, when he reached out to turn the body over, he failed. Still showing that tension and entanglement.
Finally, he turned the body over, ignoring the six mold faces and twelve scarlet eyes that had condensed on the body's back.
Unfortunately, the surface of the body was completely covered with mold, including the face and facial features.
The man in black tried to tear off the mold, but he tore off his face and flesh along with it, because the mold had completely transformed the body.
"Grass!"
The man in black cursed angrily. He tried to peel off the mold again, but still to no avail. The body had begun to slowly melt under the corrosion of the mold, and the speed Very fast.
After a while, the entire body disappeared, including the clothes, which were melted by a large amount of mold.
"Damn thing!"
The man in black was furious, and with a wave of his hand, a large amount of fungal viruses burned directly and turned into fly ash.
Many mold viruses including those at the door were similarly affected and a large area was cleared.
The man in black did not determine the result he wanted.
This seems to be a good thing, but to him, it is more like a fish bone stuck in his throat. If it can't go up or come down, it just feels uncomfortable.
"Am I wrong?"
The man in black stood there thinking for a long time before he came back to his senses, ran to the desk like crazy, and picked up the phone that was not connected at all. He carefully dialed a number on the old-fashioned landline phone.
But as soon as I picked up the phone, I quickly pressed it again.
"No, I must have seen it wrong. There is no need for me to make a fuss over an illusion, and there is no need for me to cause trouble for myself. Yes, I must have seen it wrong, I have seen it wrong."
< br>The night of the city is beautiful.
Lights flashed and traffic flowed.
Some people say that roads, people and vehicles are the blood vessels of the city. The city is alive when people are moving through the traffic.
“The prosperity seen by the eyes may be just an illusion. The background of this world is false and a lie. Then everything based on lies, no matter how real it seems, is It’s not true, and our pursuit is to find the truth.”
10:57 pm, Time Conference Center.
Logically speaking, it is already very late, but at this moment, there are many luxury cars and many people rushing towards the Time Meeting House. Some people have already entered it. It is still dark in broad daylight. The rather deserted place actually became more prosperous at midnight near the early morning.
The hall was almost full of people.
Many people knew each other and greeted each other. Some of them were injured and bleeding, but they didn't care at all. They continued to eat meat and drink heavily, as if they would die in the next second. Death, so enjoy it while you're still alive.
A young-looking man was holding a wine glass, drinking extremely expensive red wine, and talking to the people around him, but his tone was very mature.
“Reality is the most precious thing. Although I wear a dress worth hundreds of thousands of yuan and a million-dollar watch, I can even summon the most beautiful female celebrities here to play with me. A whole day, but it’s all fake, just like playing computer games. No matter how good you are, it’s just a false self-satisfaction. What’s more, I don’t get any satisfaction from here.”
The middle-aged man complained loudly.
The people around him seemed to have gotten used to it. Some were listening, while others were simply wandering around, doing their own things.
This young man has a nickname, called Old A.
No one knows his real name, but many real senior memory collectors know that he is the deputy leader of the Time Elders Association and a senior memory collector who has been reincarnated for countless cycle days. .
The people of the Time Elders Association are said to hold the longest memory chain, and even have inheritance. That is to say, there are people in this organization who are responsible for preserving memories.
The person who founded the Time Assembly once said that during the period of imprisonment, memory is the most important and the most real thing, but unfortunately, memory can be tampered with.
For example, the few people who are responsible for preserving various memories. Even the core personnel within the Elders Association do not know the identity of the 'memory keeper'. They do not need to conquer the scene or take risks, and they can get it every cycle day. A sufficient amount of [memory].
What they have to do is write down a lot of things in a safe place.
Keep it in mind.
In addition, there are clerks.
Because there are special card props, some books and papers can avoid the reset of the cycle day and retain the text, so the relatively safe method of verifying memory or 'history' is to correspond to the two.
Only those that can be matched and consistent will be regarded as 'history' that actually happened. Otherwise, there is a possibility of tampering.
During the days of imprisonment, there were people who specialized in this.
Everything that happens in each past cycle day is considered ‘history’ for the present.
As the second-in-command of the Time Presbyterian Church, Old A certainly knows this secret. Moreover, the "Number One" of the Time Presbyterian Church is extremely mysterious. Few people know the identity of "Number One", and this person almost never shows up. Therefore, in fact, many matters of the Presbyterian Church, including the business of the assembly hall, are Old A and the people he arranged are taking care of it.
In a corner from the outer edge of this top circle, several hot women were talking quietly.
Their topic is naturally related to the senior officials of the conference hall over there.
“Did you see that the handsome young man is Old A? He is a being who can stand at the top of the Memory Collectors and is a real strong man. I heard that he has saved memories more than two hundred times. In other words, he has survived two hundred cycle days safely."
"Real or false?"< br>
"Honey, if you can climb up to such a person, you will be safe. Not only will you not have to worry about your future survival, but you will also be able to gain knowledge that others don't know. Not to mention the quality of life, what do you think? All high-quality material comforts imaginable are available.”
"Then what are you waiting for? Come over quickly." A beautiful girl pulled down the clothes on her chest, revealing her plump and deep career line.
“Oh, it’s not that easy. Let’s not talk about Old A. Even the people around him, any one of them, are beyond the reach of ordinary people. What kind of woman have I never seen? , a lot of beauties can be exchanged every cycle day, so in addition to beauty, there must be something else to attract them.”
“For example, ability, a few of us have also survived. After more than twenty cycle days, Xiaoman and I even unlocked professional cards , can be regarded as the upper class among the Memories people. Men like Old A and others are not short of beautiful women, but they are short of capable and beautiful women, so we still have a good chance.”
“In short, remember the main thing The target is Old A, but Old A is a bit difficult, so other people nearby can be alternatives. Any sister who is selected must remember our covenant"
"Share honor and disgrace, help each other"< br>
"Okay, take action!"
The beautiful girls planned to take action, but they had no way to get close. There were many Memory Collectors bodyguards there, and no one else was allowed to get close.
It doesn’t matter whether you say it or not.
There is no other way, these girls who want to find financial sponsors can only continue to wait for the opportunity.
Finally, the opportunity came.
Old A and his people began to walk towards the task wall over there, as if they were taking a leisurely stroll.
The girls immediately arrived early, but even so, they were still driven away by the bodyguards, which was very embarrassing.
The farce here naturally alarmed Old A and others who came over there.
Old A looked over carefully. He was stunned at first, but then he called the curly-haired woman in the lead over.
The latter was ecstatic and hurriedly adjusted her dress, pulled her skirt up and her clothes down, and walked over under the envious and jealous eyes of the other sisters.
The top memory collectors who stayed with Lao A were all surprised.
“Although this woman is not bad in figure and appearance, Brother A does not lack such beautiful women, right?”
“I don’t understand this. You like to conquer the scene, but there are also People like romance, and one of the realms of romance is to pick wild flowers at random, and the fragrance will linger after you smell them. ."
"Oh, I understand, freshness is the most important thing."
Just waiting for the woman to come over, Old A looked at her up and down, with a strange and inexplicable charm in his eyes. It can be said that there are emotions such as scrutiny, curiosity, surprise, and understanding, but there is no 'passion'.
The woman felt uncomfortable being looked at, but she could only laugh along with him.
"Liu Ruyan, I never thought I would meet you again."
".What?" The curly-haired woman opposite was stunned.
Old A actually knows her name.
Many people around him did the same, but they quickly realized what was happening and looked at the curly-haired woman in surprise.
Obviously, Old A knows this woman, but the woman does not know Old A, which can only explain one possibility. This woman named Liu Ruyan was once a memory collector, but later lost her memory, and then became a memory collector again. Pick up people.
Similar things are not uncommon. On the contrary, there are many. It can be said that there are many cases in this time gathering place where people have known each other before, but some of them became amnesiacs.
But the situation of women with curly hair is different.
Because the person who knows her is not an ordinary memory collector, that is Lao A.
Many people say that Old A has achieved [memory] freedom a hundred cycle days ago, because he can get enough [memory] every time, so there is no need to go back. Any level scene.
He is just in the safest place, enjoying life over and over again.
In other words, Old A rarely interacted with strangers later on. So, there is only one possibility for Old A to remember someone who is not yet a high-level member of the Elders Association and the Assembly. It was as early as A memory collector who was active hundreds of cycle days ago.
Furthermore, the strength will not be bad, and if it is bad, it is impossible to get to know old A.
Looking at the astonished expression of the woman opposite, Old A smiled: "That's all, you forgot, it doesn't matter if you can't remember, but I just didn't expect that a woman like you, Liu Ruyan, would actually have A day of collapse, oh, you, you forgot that it was How did you agree to him?"
When Old A talked about 'him', his expression was extremely strange. It was a kind of admiration and nostalgia, a kind of recollection of the past, and it seemed that it was because he saw Liu Ruyan And it reminded him of his unforgettable past.
After a moment of silence, he sighed and murmured: "You guys can't bear the loneliness and the endless waiting, so you gave up one by one, but I can't, I can't give up, Sometimes, I really envy you, but I also hate you, go away!”
Old A said the last sentence with a sullen face.
In an instant, a powerful momentum made everyone around them change their colors in horror.
No one thought that Old A, who only enjoyed life and was drunk all day long, would have such a terrifying side.
On the opposite side, Liu Ruyan's face turned pale with fright, her legs were shaking unconsciously, and she couldn't even speak at this moment.
Firstly, it was because Old A's momentum was as strong as substance, which was a powerful mental suppression; secondly, it was because what Old A said made her doubtful.
Obviously, Old A knew her, so he should also know Old A, and maybe even his former self was still very powerful, standing above all those who recalled memories.
Then, how did you become like this?
Decadent?
Succumbing to self-destruction?
In order to climb high, dress up like a butch to seduce these strong men?
So, which one is you?
"If I am really so powerful, why do I lose my memory?" This is the question Liu Ruyan wants to know the most.
But at this moment, she didn't dare to stay any longer. Old A had already told him to get out, so she could only leave quickly, otherwise, she would definitely get into trouble.
But at this moment, Old A over there suddenly stopped, and then stared straight at the wall.
In other words, he was staring at a note taped to the wall.
This is the mission wall of the Time Assembly Hall.
Every cycle day, there will be a lot of notes posted on it, usually notices about various tasks, or self-recommendations from some card hunters.
Logically speaking, nothing can attract an existence of the level of Old A.
But at this moment, he was indeed staring at one of the notes, his eyes widened, his mouth opened, his expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
In fact, his whole body began to tremble.
The bodyguards around him immediately surrounded him nervously, and even many senior members of the Elder Council were startled.
They have known Old A for a long, long time, but they have never seen this man be so glum.
“Bring Liu Ruyan here.” Old A suddenly shouted at this time.
Immediately, bodyguards brought the curly-haired woman over there who had taken a few steps away.
Judging from the posture of the bodyguard, if Old A said to kill her, he would not hesitate to break the woman's neck, or die in a more cruel way.
"Liu Ruyan!" Old A shouted with his eyes wide open. He came over, grabbed the woman's arm, forced her to the wall, and then pointed with a trembling and excited voice. A note on it said: "Look carefully, look, look."
"What." Liu Ruyan was scared, but she didn't dare to resist, and she was more confused.
She glanced at the note, which only said 'Cocoon Breaking Plan, begin! ’
What does it mean?
She looked at Old A with a puzzled expression.
“You stupid woman, you, all you stupid pigs who chose to give up, haha, do you see, our waiting is not worthless, it is not endless waiting, he is back, he is back I knew he would definitely come back."
At this moment, Old A was acting a little crazy.
Some people even think that he has gone crazy.
"Who, who is back?" Liu Ruyan asked tremblingly. She felt that her wrist was very painful from being grabbed. Old A's strength was very strong, as if her wrist would be broken in the next moment. .
"I don't know his name, but you know, but you, stupid woman, gave up on your own. But that's not important. What's important is that he's back. Our waiting is worth it. It's worth it. It's worth it."
Old A actually cried.
