After the projection of No. 1 disappeared, Chu Yunsheng fell silent for a long time. Standing alone in front of the window, he rubbed his finger in the gap between the window edges until it was covered with dirty dust. He then rubbed the dust back and forth between his index finger and thumb, feeling the existence of particles.
How could he imagine such a realistic world? However, if this was in a dream, how many people knew that they were in a dream? Even if there was a big loophole, the person in the dream would not be able to expose it. This was determined by the nature of the dream. If it was exposed, it would no longer be a dream.
At this time, he thought of Song Ying who was originally lying on the hospital bed again. She once confidently and weakly said, “No matter what you become, I can recognize it, even in the next life…”
Next life? Does she mean the endless reincarnation in the simulation? .
Chu Yunsheng took a deep breath. He always thought that when Song Ying said this sentence, she was just talking nonsense, but now that he thought about it again, it may not be that simple. If she could really see the previous life and the endless reincarnation from his eyes, then it would explain why that lawyer would suddenly want to commit suicide.
Maybe, he also saw the endless hellish reincarnation; maybe he also couldn’t tell what was real and what was fake anymore, so he committed suicide; and maybe he just wanted to wake up from this terrible dream.
When Chu Yunsheng had just woke up in this world, and during the period when he had chaotic and conflicted memories, Song Ying also asked him similar questions,
“Who am I!”
“Take the name away, who am I?”
“Why am I here? … have I existed before but I couldn’t remember it anymore?”
Your eyes told me that you knew it, please, I’m begging you.”
“If I died, is it me who would disappear, or is it this world that would disappear?”
…
“I believe you because your eyes told me!”
What exactly did she and the lawyer see in his eyes? Why did Old Youling also claim to have seen something, but didn’t react like them?
He then remembered some other things Song Ying said to him at the scientific research base:
“Am I dying?”
“What are you talking about, how can you die if I am here? I will take you back even if the grim reaper takes you away.”
“You are so sweet.”
…
Chu Yunsheng couldn’t help but shudder. If every reincarnation was like going to hell, then wouldn’t it mean that he was trying to drag Song Ying out of the hell every time?!
However, this was not something that he should feel fortunate about, because it was a very cruel torture.
Chu Yunsheng felt a chill running down his spine, making him feel cold all over. At least, there was one thing that No.1 said was right. He had been trying to avoid getting too entangled with the people in the Pseudo-Monolith, but he did not expect that the entanglement had already occurred in the previous life!
But why did old man No.1 tell him this? According to what No. 1 said, if he wanted him to wake up as soon as possible and face reality, he shouldn’t have told him about this. Otherwise, if he became entangled with the world, it would not be easy for him to wake up.
Chu Yunsheng suddenly realized that perhaps the real purpose of No.1 was hidden behind this incident! He didn’t believe that No. 1 was a kind person. A man who had spent all his time trying to murder most of the lives on the earth, no matter how he argued, he would not believe him.
He glanced at Old Youling. Song Ying has gone missing, but he couldn’t blame it. Although it was Old Youling, who came up with the idea, it was he himself made the final decision. So he couldn’t shift the blame to Old Youling.
However, Old Youling didn’t know what he was thinking. It was so nervous that it hurriedly said, “I didn’t expect that she was injured so badly, and we had so many people watching her, but she could still go missing.”
Chu Yunsheng sighed, “We have underestimated her. Did you forget what her ability is? It is not a difficult task for her to distort other people’s minds. I am just wondering where she could go.”
Seeing that Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to blame it, Old Youling heaved a sigh of relief and said, “The military has started searching the whole city. I don’t think she would leave the city, but what I am worried about the most is that she may hide somewhere. And with her ability, there is no way we will be able to find her.”
Chu Yunsheng frowned and said, “Xiaohai has been with her all the time, so he should know something.”
Old Youling thought and said, “Boss, if she really decides to leave by herself, it would be hard to tell if she is an enemy or a friend now. The treatment we used before is really… I’m afraid that…”
Chu Yunsheng didn’t say anything. After a moment of silence, he threw the miniature robot that had lost its energy to it and changed the topic, “ask the scientists at the scientific research base to study this thing and build a detection instrument as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will all become clowns on other people’s screens.”
Apart from what he had in his mind, No.1 seemed to know everything about him. However, he would rather believe that it was all because of those tiny robots.
Before figuring out what the actual facts were, he would not completely believe what he said.
Before the projection of No.1 ended, he also said that the attack on Shanghai from the Arctic base would soon arrive, and it would be stronger and more violent than the last time. According to what he told Chu Yunsheng, this was Chu Yunsheng’s subconscious’ request. It made Chu Yunsheng speechless for quite a while. Because it sounded very ridiculous.
Of course, No.1 also had an explanation. It said that even with the help of Cambrian Soul Mark, it was only able to find this opportunity to talk to him. After this conversation, Chu Yunsheng’s subconscious would regain the upper hand, making him become the No.1 that it wanted…
Thinking of these problems, Chu Yunsheng and Old Youling split into two groups. He went to the resting tent to see Yu Xiaohai. At the moment, the city was still filled with chaotic frightened people, and all military and police forces had been transferred to suppress the chaos. Temporarily the wounded could not be transferred, but Old Youling was able to hurry back to the scientific research base with the mini robot.
As soon as Chu Yunsheng entered the tent, he saw a nurse in white clothes helping Yu Xiaohai to put on woolen trousers. And standing opposite him was the person Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to see the most at this moment – Su Su. Her cold eyes instantly made the tent become an icy cave.
Chu Yunsheng glanced at Yu Xiaohai. Seeing that he had finally woken up, he felt relieved. Knowing that he would eventually need to face Song Ying’s mother, he said in a deep voice, “Let’s talk outside.”
Su Su seemed to be very angry. With her white teeth biting her glittering lips, she glared at Chu Yunsheng angrily, but did not move half a step, “No need.”
Chu Yunsheng frowned. He was ready to be scolded, but unexpectedly, she didn’t want to talk to him. Did she not want to know what happened? After thinking about this, he realized it and said calmly, “so she talked to you already?”
Su Su still ignored him. Turning around to face Yu Xioahai, she said, “Take care of yourself, I will see you again in two days.”
After speaking, she picked up her bag and prepared to leave the tent. She didn’t even look at Chu Yunsheng.
Chu Yunsheng felt very strange, so he grabbed her arm and said seriously: “Is she with you? This is very important! I need-”
Su Su wrested away Chu Yunsheng’s right hand and said coldly, “Mr. Chu, that’s none of your business!”
“I know what you want to say. I’ve asked Mr. Youling already. But can that be called a treatment plan? Are you two psychologists? If you don’t have any professional knowledge and experience, then what you did was not different than a murder!”
“Actually, she means nothing to you, right?! If she were your daughter, would you do it hastily? Would you humiliate her like that? You keep saying that she regards herself as a slave, but it is you who actually regard her as a slave.”
“You want to know what she told me? Do you really want to know!”
There was a trace of pain on her pale face, “You! Even after what you did to her, she is still trying to help you to find an excuse!”
“She even wanted me to forgive you for what you have done to her!”
“Do you know why she didn’t want to see you now!? It is not that she is angry! She told me that she is sick and she is not pretty anymore, so that must be the reason why you were mad at her. She didn’t want to make you angry, and she didn’t want to make you unhappy…”
“She is my daughter. I know her better than anyone! Mr. Chu, I don’t know where she is now, but if you want her to live, don’t go look for her, otherwise, she would rather die than make you unhappy.”
“I… Mr. Chu, if you can… please just leave her alone if you still want her to live. As a mother, I am begging you.”
After speaking, she gave Chu Yunsheng a last cold look and then left the tent.
After a long silence, Yu Xiaohai, who had put on his trousers, coughed and said: “Brother Chu, there is something I want to say, but I have been holding back for a long time. I don’t know if I should say it.”
Chu Yunsheng turned around and looked at Yu Xiaohai.
The nurse in white clothes did not dare to look at Chu Yunsheng. She lowered her head and hurriedly left the tent as well.
Yu Xiaohai’s face still looked very pale. He was still very weak at this moment. Seeing Chu Yunsheng nodded, he said with hesitation, “Recently, I always feel that you have changed, and I almost don’t recognize you.”
Chu Yunsheng was silent for a moment, and said, “Did you hear the incident yesterday?”
Yu Xiaohai nodded without concealment and said: “Brother Chu, not just what happened yesterday, but also many other things… I know you must have encountered something difficult. You are my mentor and my brother, so I trust you, but I want to help you even more. I know that you may not want to get me involved, but if you always keep everything in your mind, sooner or later, you will lose your mind.”
Chu Yunsheng smiled, and said helplessly: “But, there are some things that can’t be said clearly…”
…
Two days later, Song Ying was still missing, and the chaos in the city gradually subsided.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of a building, overlooking the entire crowded and dark city, Fang Yuehou appeared behind Chu Yunsheng. Hearing the faint cry of the breeze, he suddenly said in a low voice, “Mr. Chu, I have also read the information about you that General Zhu Xirui had collected, but I have different ideas from them, so I have a request.”
Chu Yunsheng didn’t speak, but nodded, still looking at the dense crowd and army on the street outside the window.
Fang Yuehou said with cloudy eyes, “If possible, I hope you will give them a future.”
Future?
Chu Yunsheng looked towards the dark sky, with a complex expression on his stern face.
That night, he, who hadn’t dreamed for a long time, had another nightmare. In the dream, he arrived at the end of the world. Standing in the sky that was drenched in tears, the swords were cast in all directions, the sun and moon disappeared without a trace; the world began to crack, mountains began to collapse, countless fragments formed endless tornadoes causing havoc around Earth…
Vaguely, there seemed to be a person with disheveled hair struggling to climb the top of a mountain that was made of countless bodies, in a sea of blood. The person pointed her heart while facing up to the sky, looking at him desperately and sadly with those distressing eyes.
