Chapter 412 Past
Gu Pingsheng looked at the heavy rain outside, and what echoed in his mind was Bai Yanren's instructions back then...
————
"There are not many people I can trust, and you are one of them in my life." Bai Yanren said with a smile.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do again?" Gu Pingsheng was a little helpless, but he had long been accustomed to agreeing to the other party's requests. After all, after living and dying together for so long, he could no longer tell whether he had saved Bai Yanren. Compared to others, Bai Yan saved himself more.
"From now on, you will follow Dr. Zhou Tian," Bai Yanren said with rare seriousness, "He has a problem."
"You are obviously the one with the problem," Gu Pingsheng was even more speechless. "Look carefully, you are the most unique one. Even now, I don't know why Wuji chooses you every time."
"Haha, you want to know?" Bai Yanren suddenly asked.
"Are you willing to say it?" Gu Pingsheng didn't believe that Bai Yanren would say it, because he felt that Bai Yanren himself didn't know why.
"If you want to know, I'll tell you." Bai Yanren said mysteriously.
"You..." Seeing that Bai Yanren seemed to be really planning to tell him some secrets, Gu Pingsheng suddenly flinched, "You better not tell me anymore. I promise you that I will keep an eye on Zhou Tian from now on."
< br>
"No, it's not to keep an eye on him, but to join him. No matter what Dr. Zhou Tian wants to do, you have to join him." Bai Yanren emphasized.
"Why? Do you think Zhou Tian will need me? I don't have the confidence to fully join his [career]."
"It's okay...I will help you." Just after Bai Yanren said this, he suddenly leaned into Gu Pingsheng's ear.
"Hey, in my life, let me tell you, in fact... I am a living person."
Gu Pingsheng's heart skipped a beat. He took a serious look at Bai Yanren and suddenly smiled: "Don't be kidding, all of us entered the fog set after experiencing death. Therefore, although we are afraid of all kinds of ghosts, we can To be honest, we should all be grateful to Wuji for being alive now. It gave us the chance to continue living.”
"But, what I said is true, you should be able to feel it, right? I'm not joking..." Bai Yanren continued.
"I really didn't enter Wuji after death. I pushed the door open and entered."
"Push the door?" Gu Pingsheng was confused.
Bai Yanren was speechless. In a flash, he seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at Gu Pingsheng and said, "In your lifetime, ten years later, you will also have the opportunity to push the door and enter Wuji. If this really happens, , then...my speculation may come true."
"What speculation?"
Gu Pingsheng asked.
"Aside from the bloody words every time, I suspect that the fog collection itself is also an extremely obscure long-term mission."
"If in ten years, everyone enters the foggy environment through the door, I will be right."
When Bai Yanren said this, he looked seriously into Gu Pingsheng's eyes: "In my life, strictly speaking, you can't enter the fog set ten years later, but I really don't know what to do. I will find a way to let you in. In addition to you, there are other old people who will enter the fog set ten years later. You...just pretend not to know them.”
"Then, apart from keeping an eye on Dr. Zhou Tian and verifying whether I can push the door into the fog set ten years later, what exactly do you want me to do?" Gu Pingsheng asked.
He knew very well that Bai Yanren's requests until now were only to observe a certain phenomenon and did not reach the specific next step of operation. Gu Pingsheng did not believe that Bai Yanren had no next step plan at all.
"Hehe... Dr. Zhou Tian, as long as you get the news that I'm back, you can ignore him, because my return means that he has failed." At this point, Bai Yanren murmured with laughter. In one sentence, "Whether I come back at that time is still not me."
Gu Pingsheng's eyelids twitched.
"As for whether the observation has turned into pushing the door into the fog set, as long as I confirm this, it proves that I have succeeded. I have completed a certain stage of the long-term mission of the fog set itself and advanced it to the next stage...or It is said that fog gathering itself should have two stages.”
"It is an intertwined existence between the material world and the conscious world..." When Gu Pingsheng heard this, he immediately thought of what Bai Yanren had just mentioned, that he was a living person who entered the fog.
Now I heard him whispering in a low voice that Fog is the place where the material world and the world of consciousness intersect. Fog itself should have two stages... It is difficult for Gu Pingsheng not to have some conjectures.
For example...the previous stage was the rule when the fog set was dominated by the fog world.
And the latter stage... is the rule when Wuji is dominated by humans.
Gu Pingsheng's serious expression completely fell into Bai Yanren's eyes.
His so-called "whispers" were of course meant for Gu Pingsheng to hear.
He did not lie.
Wuji... In other words, this group of Wuji people have been reincarnated seven times.
After each "clearance" of the fog collection, time and memory seem to be reset. Except for an extra key obtained when clearing the level, nothing has changed at all.
What's even worse is that, except for himself, no one else remembers that they have cleared the Fog Collection many times.
Baiyan people are lonely.
Through repeated investigations, he had already learned most of the situation.
It was also confirmed that apart from himself, there was only one doctor named Zhou Tian who retained all the memories of the past.
But...it didn't work.
He and Zhou Tian were locked in a closed, endless loop of time and space.
Even if you clear the fog set, you can't break the cycle. The so-called escape is just starting the next reincarnation again.
This kind of thing has happened seven times.
And soon, it will be the eighth time.
This time, it is also Bai Yanren’s last attempt.
He has been trying since the third time, but none of them have been successful. This world... seems real and vivid, but in fact, it is just a "dead" space. Even the companions he is familiar with have been dead for a long time. .
And what he wanted to try was the last solution he came up with after discussing with Zhou Tian.
"Time in this world will not flow forward, it will only detour and cycle again." Zhou Tian looked at the unchanging starry sky, "I can be sure that this is a world formed by the original power of the mist world, and you, as this world, The only living person in this game is you who hinders the continuation of the game. In other words, if the world is completely dead and everyone becomes dead, it will be natural to clear the fog set again at this time. Advance to the next stage.”
"However, I won't let you really die. During this period of time, I have thought of many ways, and finally I found a gap in time and space." Zhou Tian's eyes fell from the starry sky back to Bai Yanren, "Hidden Entering the gap in time and space creates the illusion that you are dead, but... you need to avoid the detection of the fog world and the fog set, and the time and space that allows you to hide is not comfortable. "
"How long do you need to hide?" Bai Yanren asked.
"About... ten years."
Zhou Tian replied.
