Lin Sanjiu couldn't forget that scene for a long time.
She had heard a saying before. If there was anything in the world worth living for, it would be beauty. When Yu Yuan's memoir floated up from the churning gray fog, she suddenly remembered this saying.
It was a black sea with heavy rain, breaking through the thick fog. Dark waves rose high from the gray fog, wrapped in a terrifying power that could shatter the framework of the world, roaring and surging in the silence, as if thousands of wrath were born from the depths of the universe, sweeping away any bit of contentment in one's own existence. The black sea was like the destruction and judgment of the dark world pressing down on one's head. If there was a kind of beauty that came from the extreme, then there was no beauty more extreme than destruction.
Lin Sanjiu stood at the edge of the city in a daze. She didn't know why, but she watched as the black sea rose and fell from the fog. In the blink of an eye, it closed in on her. For a moment, she forgot who she was.
"The memoir often changes its form, especially when it is triggered by someone." Ah Quan's words jolted her out of her trance. "I'll turn the place where he was and show it to you."
When Lin Sanjiu turned her head to look at the black sea, she saw a small figure among the ink-like waves. From afar, she could tell that it was Yu Yuan.
When the memoir met the city and the two connected, it was no longer like an endless sea that pressed down from the sky. It had lost its soul-stirring beauty. Next to the narrow and smoke-filled streets of the city was a sea that was billowing with black rain. Yu Yuan was floating in the distant sea. His shadow was as small as a black pigeon that had fallen into the water.
"I can pause the memoir," Quan explained as he and Lin Sanjiu stood at the boundary between the narrow alley and the sea. "The moment you step over it, the memoir will stop. The memoir will disappear temporarily, and it will return to its original state before it is engraved in your memory. At that time, he will be able to wake up. To be honest, it is rare to see someone so immersed in the memoir that he has completely forgotten his own identity. Otherwise, the person would wake up when the memoir stops. "
Lin Sanjiu was about to take a step forward when she suddenly understood what he meant. "I … I have to walk over to wake him up? Can't you bring him here? "
Ah Quan turned his head to look at her and smiled.
"I can control the memoirs, but I can't control the people in them." He seemed to know what Lin Sanjiu was thinking. He smiled and replied, "For example, even if I wanted you to leave just now, I couldn't force you out."
In other words, once she decided to wake Yu Yuan up, she would have to leave Quan's City Memoir. After he left, whether Quan would stay where he was … that was another question.
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip and hesitated for a moment.
He might have many intentions, but even if he guessed it and stepped on a certain possibility, it was actually meaningless.
That was the way of the world. Every situation had potential limitations and risks. When people were at a crossroads, how to choose and where to go, even if they had thought about it in advance, they could not predict and control the consequences.
Of course, she could capture Quan first. Then, everything would be easy.
However, Lin Sanjiu was unwilling to do so. Regardless of the consequences, she wanted to follow her own principles.
"I destroyed your memoir because I wanted to force out the truth and find my friend. Meeting you was really unexpected. "She looked at Quan and said," What about the other … "
"I'll get his memoirs right now," Quan replied immediately. After a pause, he looked at Lin Sanjiu and asked, "So, do you want to go over?"
This question seemed to hang in the air, frozen for a moment.
Lin Sanjiu turned around and smiled at him. Then, she stepped over the boundary line between the two memoirs.
She thought that she would suddenly fall into the water and was even prepared to swim over. Unexpectedly, when she took a step, the seawater retreated. Her feet landed on an indescribable material. It was as if the clouds could suddenly bear weight. It was light, formless, but firm.
Lin Sanjiu turned her head to look at Quan. He was still as carefree as ever. Quan smiled and pointed into the distance. Then, she turned around and dashed towards Yu Yuan's direction.
"That's irrational behavior,"
Yu Yuan, who had only calmed down after being woken up by Lin Sanjiu for 17 seconds, said coldly with the precision of a scalpel, "If I continue to immerse myself in my memories and cause my consciousness to go haywire, you will not suffer any real loss. Even if you save me, you will not be the Yu Yuan in your memories. However, if you leave the Urban Memoir, you will lose the only way to keep the manipulator in check. The possibility of you leaving will be greatly reduced. No matter how I look at it, I don't understand it. "
After Lin Sanjiu heard his opinion, she couldn't help but laugh. She reached out her hand and did something that she would never do to the Veda. She ruffled Yu Yuan's hair.
"Let's not waste any more time," Yu Yuan lectured her with a straight face, "Let's split up. You go check if Quan's Urban Memoir is still there. I will go check if Ji Shanqing's memoir has been transferred over. You have met Quan before, so you can talk to him. It will be more effective for you to look for him. "
"Okay," Lin Sanjiu agreed and leaped up from the ground. Now that the entire space had reverted to its original state, she could only see a dozen meters ahead of her. It was impossible for her to distinguish the direction and shape of the space. Lin Sanjiu pondered for a moment before she turned around and walked in the direction that she thought was right. She shouted, "Quan! If you make a sound, I won't be able to see the way back. "
After walking for a while, Quan seemed to hear her. From afar, a voice called out, "I'm over here."
Lin Sanjiu sighed in relief when she realized that she was heading in the right direction. She quickened her pace, but she slowed down.
There was no other reason than that the voice was simply too far away.
She had already walked quite a distance back, but Quan's voice still sounded as faint as a thread in the wind.
"I'm sorry," Quan said from afar.
Lin Sanjiu stopped running.
"... Have we split up?" When she asked the question, she was not surprised at all. After all, this was the price she was willing to pay to get her friend back.
"Yes."
Quan's voice penetrated through the formless chaos, saying, "I've taken over the memoirs of the other child. You'll be able to find him very soon. I am very grateful that you did not attack me just now. You should thank yourself because if you met me, you would be trapped in the endless memories that I have seen. Even though I think you are a good person, I can't risk letting you come back. As the creator and manager of this pocket dimension, and as the caretaker of the memories of the people, I have a responsibility to fulfill. "
I especially bought a set of small pots for herbs. They were very beautiful and looked very nice when placed in the kitchen. I couldn't wait to plant the coriander and spring onions. In the future, it would be very urgent. I would go over every hour to check on the seeds and urge them to germinate faster. Nature is really not good. It has been a few hours, and the seeds have not sprouted yet. There are three pots in total. I planted two types of seasoning herbs and the last one. What do you guys think I should plant? I will fight whoever leaves a message to plant a pumpkin.
