Years of ignorance of wine and dipped lips

Damn, there is still a long way to go before fully grasping the truth.

The anger just now has dissipated, and I just want to ask No. 3 the truth.

But the sound of a cock crowing came out of nowhere.

[The connection with player "Three" is disconnected]

【Dream end】

At dawn, I woke up from this cognition subversive dream.

Never been so uneasy.

What could scare me more than being a machine and discovering that everything I've been through is repeating itself, but there's no trace of it in the historical record?

I should have known something was wrong, from the first inexplicable resumption of the "Night Rest" program, to the "sexual reflex" of the previous days.

I clearly don't remember removing those programs, no, I shouldn't have them, they make me feel more and more like a human being, not a machine.

It must be No. 3's conspiracy. What will he ask me to recover next?How many times do you want me to go through the game again?

I can't sit still, the system's records are no longer trustworthy, I have to make some other marks, leaving traces that cannot be deleted.In this way, even if the game is restarted on the 3rd, I will know.

What mark?

It cannot be an item that already exists in the game scene, otherwise it will be refreshed to the initial state. If it is an item carried by the player, maybe it will work.

Fortunately, although I don't have the blindfolded black satin of the Prophet, I have the Mianling given to me by No. 3.

Finding a hidden corner in the room, I carefully cut a small piece of floor with a low-power plasma beam, intending to hide Mian Ling underneath.

However, the second I opened the floor, I couldn't help but exclaimed.

Because, under the floor, there are densely packed bells.

Counting the ones in my hand, there are exactly 79 pieces, which are the same as my version number, another design that looks like a coincidence.

In short, I was wrong again. I thought that I had only played one round of the game before this, but I didn't know that I had already reincarnated 78 times.

That is, I forgot him 78 times.

Number 3 must be crazy. A round of games takes so much time and energy. There are dangers in the process, let alone dozens of times, which shows how deep his obsession with me is.

What is he trying to do?

I was restless and sat on the bed, and the passage of time accelerated my anxiety.

Someone stood outside the door, lighting a candle.

Jing Nian asked: "Senior Brother, Elder Xue told me yesterday that you have something for me, but you haven't been seen for a long time, what happened?"

Jing Nian's voice made me shudder. He also heard the movement in the room, but his voice was still cold. "If it's not convenient for senior brother to get up, I can open the door myself."

"No, no, I'll do it myself."

I took out the long-forgotten roster in my sleeve, and limped to the door, and saw the familiar face through the crack of the door.

It's a face that can't be faulted from any angle, even if the most breathtaking pair of pupils are lowered towards the ground, it's totally worth the hundreds of names in the booklet. I've looked at this face countless times, But my thoughts have never been so mixed like today. Thinking that this face has spent dozens of reincarnations with me, hundreds of years, I am in a daze, not knowing how to face Jing Nian.

Xu was aware of my gaze, Jing Nian raised his eyes, and I instantly noticed the difference between him and No. 3, the same face, the same glazed eyes, but there was no trace of madness in Jing Nian's eyes, instead, forbearance , hide all emotions in the dark.

Indeed, the starting point of each round of the game is the time when he found me in the snow. At that time, Jing was 15 years old, but he had already tasted all the ups and downs of life.

For players, creating a character with a tragic and unfortunate life experience is often just to increase the difficulty of the game, or even just to make it more interesting.

All they have to do is move their fingers and enter a few settings.

But for the character himself, it is the suffering that is truly nailed to the flesh and blood, and it is endless pain and blood.

In this year of Jing, it must be difficult to open up to others, including me.That's why he warned me not to provoke him again after the ice lake was warmed up.

He pushed me away time and time again.

"Become a Taoist couple", how could Jing Nian say this to me?

Happiness and regret are intertwined into complex emotions.

I really want to escape from here, I really want to stop thinking and stop processing the messy data in my mind.

Jing Nian was completely unaware of the turmoil in my heart, and said impatiently: "Why are you so dazed, you want me to stand here all night?"

I quickly handed him the roster through the crack of the door. "Here, Elder Xue asked me to give it to you yesterday, but I accidentally forgot it when I got up this morning."

He didn't answer, still looking at me. "that's all?"

"Well, that's it, you can go." Now I just want to be quiet for a while, so I issued a further order to evict Jing Nian. "Anyway, you said last time, let me not provoke you, I did."

These words angered Jing Nian, the candle was extinguished instantly, and then the door was forcibly broken open.

He said faintly: "Senior brother has never listened to my words, why did you just do it when I told you not to provoke me?"

"You are really difficult to understand." I frowned, "Let's talk about it, I don't want to see your face now, please go out."

"Why?" He pressed on step by step, "Brother, are you angry with me?"

"No."

"I don't believe it, you're just angry." He began to apologize nervously, always at a loss every time he made a mistake. "I'm sorry, brother, I shouldn't call you a dog, I shouldn't force you to swallow the bell, I shouldn't..."

There was a paranoid look in his eyes, which gradually coincided with No. 3's expression.

Seeing this face that made me both happy and scared getting closer, I finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped him on the face.

The voice was clear and crisp, and a blush appeared on the fat and jade-like white cheeks.

"Don't apologize, I don't care about those, I just want you to go out now and leave me alone."

Jing Nian remained silent and did not move, only the blush on his face gradually spread.

After all, he is not the 15-year-old Jing Nian, who can hold back the tears, but the corners of his eyes are too red.

The cold appearance when he came has long since disappeared, and his emotions are so vivid.

But I can't be happy.

This is not what I want.

After struggling for a long time, I still couldn't help reaching out to wipe the corners of his eyes.

Just like at first.

It doesn't matter whether it's a teacher brother or a Taoist companion, any relationship is not important anymore.

It's just a lone scavenger picking up the same helpless garbage.

Jing Nian responded by biting my thumb hard, but immediately let go, like a hungry beast whose stomach cannot be filled with appetite, so he could only lick his own teeth restrainedly. mark.

I blushed and forced my attention elsewhere.

【Start signal detection】

[No chip implanted under the skin was found]

That's right, he is not No. 3, not any player, and reincarnation and games have nothing to do with him.

The heart that had been hanging in the air for a whole day finally landed.

After letting go of my guard, I was able to open my heart and confide in Jing Nian.

"Actually, I had a nightmare last night."

"What kind of nightmare?"

"How should I put it... I dreamed that this world is a constructed virtual dimension, everything is predetermined, and everything I'm experiencing now is a repeated cycle." I hesitated and asked him, "You should generally understand I mean right?"

Jing Nian nodded slowly, and asked, "Then, did you meet me in your dream?"

"Well, and more than once, I can meet you every time I reincarnate."

"One time is enough." Jing said in a young voice, he clasped my ten fingers, and Heiye's palm embraced the tooth-scarred moon. "Brother, I think that a person is made up of his experience, even if any thing is changed, this person is no longer the person from the previous cycle."

I was stunned for a second, this theory is somewhat familiar, very similar to the Paradox of the Ship of Theseus.

That is to say, every plank on a ship is replaced one by one, and it is impossible to determine which plank is replaced, and the ship is no longer the original ship.

"So, we only live once." Jing Nian murmured, as if talking to himself. "I, Jing Nian, you, Qi Shijiu."

Qi Shijiu, No.70 Nine reincarnations, with a double meaning.

After a while, he came back to his senses and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I said some extreme words, but I blurted them out for some reason."

"No, thanks to you, I suddenly figured out something."

That's why Jing Nian awakened to self-awareness.

The answer is in those 78 bells.

78 reincarnations, although the general plot is similar, there will always be more or less discrepancies.

Every reincarnation is a possibility, using these data as the script and cornerstone, the Jingnian in the 79th reincarnation was born.

Although the number of reincarnations is limited, nodes and choices can be arranged in countless combinations, so Jing Nian "lived" over, no longer a collection of a few lines of settings, he has countless possibilities.

Then, I also have the opportunity to break out of this cycle of reincarnation.

As long as we grasp the present, grasp the key of Jing Nian, instead of relying on the guidance of dreams, because they are all the game records of No. 3, he can enter my dream at will, and browse these data that belong to him.

Dreams are no longer safe.

I made a decisive decision and called up the vast list of programs.

[Are you sure to delete the selected program? 】
