Chapter 692 - Future and Nightmare (1/2)
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 h.e.l.lish 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 h.e.l.l, then wouldn’t it mean that he was trying to drag Song Ying out of the h.e.l.l 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 s.h.i.+ft 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…
