Chapter 396 Memory
Before anyone could think about it, the man whose face he couldn't see clearly said to himself: "However, this is not important. Since you can see me, it means that the end is coming, and it is more appropriate to hand over this key to him." ”
Gu Pingsheng, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked: "Have we met before?"
The man whose face could not be seen clearly was silent for a moment: "In your time, yes."
"What do you mean in my time?" Gu Pingsheng frowned in confusion.
"In my time, it will take some time before I meet you."
He's talking about you.
These two words were not only heard by Gu Pingsheng, but also by everyone else present.
What everyone didn't expect was that although what this mysterious man said sounded like a lunatic, he was very candid and unexpectedly candid. He said whatever he had to say and answered when he could, without any concealment.
But problems also arise.
"Since you haven't seen him during your time, why do you know about this now?" Yu Wenxuan asked.
The mysterious man seemed to smile: "Because at this moment, I have stepped out of time."
"Out of...time?"
Song Que murmured this sentence, which seemed familiar to him.
"Yes, I am dead." He said shockingly, "So, all the memories in my life can be browsed by me at will."
All five of them had seen a lot of strange things, but the appearance of a truly dead person in front of them still caused their brains to shut down for a moment.
They don't think this mysterious man is lying. Firstly, this person has no signs of lying, and secondly, he has no need to lie.
Considering the current situation where people are being treated as flesh and blood, there is no need for the other party to make up such an inexplicable lie to fool them.
"I know you have a lot of questions. I don't have much time, but I can try to answer them as much as possible. However, if you want me to answer questions next, I also need you to agree to two conditions."
"First, you must choose one of you to take away this key."
After he finished speaking, he remained silent.
"Where's the second one?" Gu Pingsheng asked.
He vaguely remembered who this person was.
This way of speaking, this tone, who else but that person?
But... why is that person in the story "Ship sailing under the moon, people dying in the water"?
This is simply impossible. He has obviously returned to Yecheng. From that dark gap...
"I can only say two if I promise one."
The mysterious man continued.
"I promise you." Gu Pingsheng had already guessed the identity of the other party and agreed immediately.
He knew that maybe he and this man had chosen different paths, but the destination was probably the same.
The other four people glanced at Gu Pingsheng, but they didn't deny anything.
After all, you can tell at a glance that this scarlet key is a master key, and even... it is probably the reason why the mysterious person in front of you can open this mysterious space and plunder them here.
"Okay, then I'll tell you."
The mysterious man paused for a moment, and his eyes seemed to scan everyone one by one again.
"You should know a person named Bai Yanliang."
His words made the hearts of everyone present tremble suddenly.
Obviously he and Xu Zhifei jumped into the sea and fell into the moon together, but the reason why Bai Yanliang did not appear here seemed to have an answer.
"Some people released disasters, some saw the future, some walked out of time, some hid in the sea of people..."
He whispered as if chanting, the last few figures almost indistinct.
"Must...kill him."
The mysterious man's voice echoed in the small room:
"Kill him completely."
————
"Dong dong dong——"
"Dong dong dong——"
Bai Yanliang's eyelids were extremely heavy, but his body was very relaxed. He had never slept so comfortably in so many years.
He heard someone knocking on the door and pushed it open.
Opening his eyes lazily, Bai Yanliang looked at the door. He was startled for a moment, and then slowly spoke.
"Brother..."
"It's okay, you can have something to eat and then sleep for a while." Bai Yanren put the soy milk and steamed buns for breakfast on the bedside table and smiled, "You talked a lot last night and seemed very tired, but you were at the grilled fish restaurant. Asleep on the table.”
"Did you carry me home?" "Of course," Bai Yanren pointed to the room next to him with his chin, "Just be careful not to let you meet when you were a child."
He smiled slyly.
Bai Yanliang also tried to smile, and then looked around.
Yes...
This is indeed my home, and the memory is too deep to be erased.
However, the memories are more of stumps and blood.
My brother died here.
Bai Yanren has returned to the living room and seems to be arranging his desk and getting ready to work.
Bai Yanliang glanced at the still steaming soy milk and steamed buns, stood up and walked to the window.
The smell coming in from the window...
It's the smell of decay.
Looking at the sky, black cracks were clearly visible in the blue sky. The deep black in the cracks looked like the vast starry sky or the endless abyss.
On the street, migrant workers with half their faces rotten were walking and talking with their bags under their arms.
The breakfast shop owner with maggots crawling out of his eyes skillfully made steamed buns.
With only half a head left, and the red brain beating constantly, the children were playing in the street with their schoolbags on their backs...
The sun...is dark red.
Like blood about to coagulate.
Is this the real past world?
Bai Yanliang raised his head in confusion.
"Yanliang!" My brother's voice came from the living room, "What do you want to eat for lunch today?"
Want to eat...what?
Bai Yanliang walked out of the room step by step and came to the living room.
The neck, arms, waist, abdomen, chest, knees, ankles... Bai Yanren, who was covered with bloody and horrific scars, looked at him with a smile.
At this moment, Yanren is like a body that has been sewn together and dismembered...
"Brother..."
The next second, Bai Yanliang stepped forward and hugged the terrifying corpse.
"Yanliang..."
Bai Yanren seemed to be startled, but he soon calmed down, hugged Bai Yanliang with his backhand, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you being bullied in the future?"
"I don't know..." Bai Yanliang, who had no emotion at all, suddenly began to choke, but his expression was very ferocious, as if he couldn't make any expression at all, and his eyes were dry, as if he couldn't shed tears at all.
"I seem...to have forgotten a lot of things..."
"I don't remember myself as a child..."
“I don’t even remember what my parents looked like...”
"Can't remember childhood friends..."
"Can't remember the neighbor's name..."
"I only remember..."
Bai Yanliang said nothing more.
His voice was indeed choked with sobs, but not a single tear fell.
His clearest memory was the night Bai Yanren died.
And...everything about being imprisoned in a mental hospital since then.
As for the memory from before, it is like being covered with a veil. It seems that the picture can be vaguely seen, but it cannot be uncovered or penetrated at all...
Bai Yanliang hugged Bai Yanren. At this moment, the surrounding walls were covered with cracks like the sky.
"It's okay, my brother is here, these are not important things..."
Bai Yanren, who seemed to have been sewn together, patted Bai Yanliang's back and said gently: "Don't worry, brother is here... no one can hurt you."
"But... what if I wake up?"
Bai Yanliang, who had no tears at all, burst into tears at this moment.
"..." Bai Yanren's expression suddenly became strange and silent.
"Brother... what if I wake up..." Bai Yanliang cried in pain, "If the person who wants to hurt me is you... what should I do..."
