Collapse Simulator: Raging at the Imaginary Tree

I wonder if a person who has completely lost his memory can be considered to have died once?

"Sister?" Ling looked at Klein with some confusion.

"These are not within my scope of work. Your sister will explain them to you."

Klein silently returned to her workstation. She still had dozens of documents to process. After she finished them, she could probably go to sleep.

Ling blinked, but still walked towards the laboratory door obediently.

"Amnesia? You mean Xiao Ling is now..." Eden's face showed a bit of relief and confusion after surviving the disaster.

"It's good enough that he survived. You know, countless people with stronger mental strength than him have died. Besides, in this situation, amnesia should be the best outcome. After all, Su said that he was himself..."

Mebius paused as Ling appeared at the door of the laboratory.

"Although there is a possibility of recovery, the chance is very slim. Well, my work is done. Don't bother me unless necessary." Mebius walked past Eden and Ellie and headed outside.

Eden's eyes fell on Ling. She quickly stepped forward and hugged Ling tightly in her arms.

The feeling of losing and regaining made her not want to be separated from Yu Ling for a moment.

"Are you...my sister?" Ling asked in a low voice.

"...Yes, Xiaoling, I am your sister, Eden." Eden composed herself and tried to make herself look less embarrassed.

"Sister..." Ling felt at ease when Eden hugged her.

"I'm your sister Ai Li, do you remember me?" Ai Li walked up and asked expectantly.

Ling shook his head and had no impression of her.

"Aili, I want to take Xiaoling home first and try to see if she can remember anything." Eden said to Ai Li.

"Do you still want him to recover? But..." Ai Li said meaningfully.

After all, Ling committed suicide because of A Quan. If she really remembered it, they couldn't predict what the consequences would be.

"...From now on, just pretend that person doesn't exist." Eden said seriously.

She wanted Ah Quan to completely disappear from this world, leaving behind all traces of him...

She wanted to protect Xiao Ling and not let him get hurt again.

Eden canceled all tours and returned home with Ling.

The once leading classical musician and popular opera singer is now rarely seen.

Time has left some traces on their faces, but one can still vaguely recognize the outstanding appearance they had when they were young.

The two had been waiting at home for a long time. Their clothes were obviously carefully taken care of, and they had used some makeup on their faces to cover up their haggard appearance.

They tried hard to smile and welcomed the arrival of Eden and Ling.

But when she saw Ling's confused look, the sentimental mother couldn't help but hug him and shed tears.

"It's good that everyone is okay, it's good that everyone is okay..."

The always serious father kept groping for the top of his crutch with his fingers and repeating this sentence over and over again, as if he was comforting his mother or himself.

Ling returned home and felt a childlike curiosity about everything around her.

Perhaps it was because of the memories that were originally carried in his body, that when he touched those instruments, he could play them subconsciously.

However, he seemed to have no recollection of his previous life.

Looking at the photo of himself and his sister Eden, he stroked it lightly with his fingers, but there was not a ripple in his mind.

"Eden, you really..."

The harshness and irresistibility that once existed in his father's words had been lost, and only a hint of helplessness remained.

"Well, I don't plan to get married. I will take care of Xiao Ling for the rest of my life."

Eden looked at his father seriously and expressed his most sincere request for the first time in his life.

I had already talked to that talented guy during the previous blind date.

Fortunately, he already had someone in his heart and had no intention of getting married, but unfortunately, both families would not allow such a thing to happen.

The two reached a kind of consensus to put on a show in front of both sides' parents and drag it out as long as possible.

Eden avoids his parents' questions by being busy with his career, and also avoids the forbidden love hidden deep in his heart.

Now is the best time to get rid of the engagement. Although he took advantage of Xiao Ling, Eden can only say sorry for it.

But Eden didn't lie, she really planned to take care of Xiaoling for the rest of her life.

"...All right."

His father didn't say much. Perhaps he had already seen that Eden had no intention of getting married, otherwise he wouldn't have dragged it on like this.

She has the wings of freedom and the power to choose her own future.

……

Chapter 40: Original Sin

"Sister, don't you have a performance?" Ling asked Eden beside her curiously.

After learning a little about the identities of his family members, he found out that Eden was a world-class star. He must be very busy. Is it really okay for him to play with him every day?

"Sister just wants to be with Xiao Ling now." Eden stroked Ling's hair gently. She didn't want to feel the pain of losing Ling again.

"Oh." Ling nodded woodenly and looked out the window quietly.

The scenery outside the window is beautiful, and it would be even better if there were no steel railings.

His sister has always been unwilling to let him come into contact with the outside world, nor has she wanted him to come into contact with his former self.

As expected...I'm still a little curious about what kind of person I used to be.

"Hi, Xiao Ling, Sister Ai Li is here to play with you! I've brought you a new friend!"

A sweet voice sounded, and when I looked in the direction of the sound, I saw the enthusiastic and lively Alicia walking towards me, holding the hand of a plump nun.

"Hello, Sister Ai Li." Ling greeted her, and then his eyes fell on the nun next to Ai Li.

For some reason, when he looked at the other person, he felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

"Is it Aponia? Why are you..." Eden blinked her beautiful eyes, obviously not expecting Aponia's arrival.

She had met Aponia when she first joined the Fire Moth, and because of Ellie, the two had communicated many times.

But shouldn't Aponya be in the prison built by Vivi on the P-21 island right now?

"I was thinking that maybe I could use Aponya's mental abilities to help Xiao Ling recall something. After all... Aponya is an expert in mental matters~" Ai Li explained.

That kind of place cannot hold Aponia at all. After all, at present, the only one who can resist Aponia's mental connection is Alicia.

Even Su couldn't face Aponya's vast spiritual power.

She is also the most powerful psychic-perception fusion warrior among the Fire Moths, no doubt about it.

"I'm not an expert, I just have some experience trying to soothe other people's spirits," Aponya said modestly.

"Okay, okay, you shouldn't be so modest at this time!" Ellie said with a smile.

"Sorry..." A smile appeared on Aponya's lips.

"Thank you, Ellie," Eden said gratefully.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Aponia." Eden looked at Aponia with some hope in his eyes.

"Okay, leave the rest to Aponia for now. Spiritual comfort requires the two of you to be alone together for some time. Maybe tomorrow Xiao Ling will become the Xiao Ling who sticks to you every day." Ellie joked to Eden, then pulled her out.

A slight blush appeared on Eden's delicate face, but she did not make any excuses.

After losing her memory, Xiao Ling was indeed not as affectionate to her as she had been when they were children. Most of the time, she just looked out the window quietly.

This was still a bit uncomfortable for someone who had a brother complex. Although he was not deliberately distancing himself from her, it still hurt Eden a little bit.

"Hello, Xiao Ling, I'm Aponya, you can call me Sister Aponya."

Aponya spoke softly, her lifeless eyes filled with kindness and compassion, making her look like an angel forgiving the sinners of the world, which was intoxicating.

"Hello, Sister Aponiya." Ling sat down opposite Aponiya very politely.

"Xiao Ling, your heart has been churning with restlessness. Can you tell me why?" Aponiya asked.

Ling was stunned. He didn't expect that Aponiya could see through his restlessness at a glance.

But he didn't know how to answer Aponya's question.

"I... don't know. When I saw Sister Aponiya, I felt uneasy inside." Ling told her his feelings truthfully.

"You're like this as soon as you see me..." A hint of doubt appeared in Aponya's eyes.

This is the first time I've heard such a description. Normally, her image wouldn't arouse much hostility.

"Yeah." Ling nodded and answered firmly.

He did begin to feel a little uneasy when he met Aponya.

It was like an emotion called tyranny began to sprout in his heart, making Ling feel a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, Xiao Ling, I will enter your spiritual world and help you soothe your emotions. Please don't resist." Aponya reminded.

An inexplicable feeling spread throughout Ling's body, and he subconsciously began to relax.

This is the power of Aponya called "Discipline", which is like an order that humans cannot resist.

Although she can directly connect with Ling's spirit, if Ling rejects it in his heart, it will easily hurt himself.

Then, from Aponia's fingertips, a transparent butterfly flashed with golden light and flew to Ling's forehead.

Aponia entered Ling's inner world without any hindrance.

There was a pure white world there, as if it was not stained by any color.

Aponya certainly knew what was going on.

According to Su's description, in order to cut off the connection with him and protect the girl named Aquan.

Ling chose to commit suicide directly in the spiritual world.

Logically speaking, his spirit should have dissipated.

And this is indeed the case.

But after Ling's physical characteristics disappeared for a short period of time, he miraculously resurrected.

As a result, he lost all his memories, as if his soul had been completely emptied.

No, to be precise, it was his body that reshaped his soul, but the color of his soul had dissipated and disappeared, which led to his current amnesia.

The feathers now are still the same feathers, and the soul is the same, but the mark engraved on the soul is gone.

It is now impossible to regain past memories.

Aponya sighed softly, then continued to delve deeper into him.

Because Ling mentioned a strange phenomenon just now, that is, he had a strange feeling in his heart when he saw her. She wanted to find out the reason, and then prescribe the right medicine to help him solve this problem.

Everything around is pure white, as pure as a newborn baby.

Until Aponia came to the deepest part of Ling's spiritual world.

Suddenly, Aponya felt her hair stand on end, and an extremely uncomfortable feeling rose in her heart.

At the end of the spiritual world, a black singularity emits a faint light.

It was when Aponya saw this thing that she felt uncomfortable and subconsciously began to issue a warning.

"What is this... Could this be the reason why Xiao Ling is so uneasy?" Aponiya murmured.

She didn't dare to act rashly, but instead carefully used her mental power to test the black singularity.

The next second, the black singularity suddenly began to expand infinitely, and began to entangle Aponya's mental power like a maggot on the tarsal bone.

"!!!"

She knew what it was. It was one of the original sins at the root of human nature, and it could be said to be the most primitive desire of mankind since its birth.

But why did He exist in Xiao Ling's body? And why was He so powerful?

Before Aponya could think, the black mud began to erode her spirit.
