There were still many things she didn't understand.
"Rena told me too little," Lin Sanjiu thought to herself. This was like a movie trailer. Rena only showed her the most fascinating parts. The details, reasons, traps, and the future were all vague to Lin Sanjiu.
However, this trailer was enough.
Lin Sanjiu and Rena were walking side by side down the long corridor of Exodus. Even though it was a circular spaceship, if they kept walking, they should be able to return to where they started. They should be able to hear the voices, figures, and smiles of her friends. However, the more they walked, the further they got from the warm light behind them. Eventually, it became a ripple in another dream on another planet. It was a thousand lifetimes away from her.
Lin Sanjiu really wished that she could turn around and walk back to the part of her life that was supposed to belong to her.
When she made up her mind to leave, she seemed to have used up all her willpower to take a step forward. Now that she had started moving, she couldn't muster the strength to stop and turn around.
"We are about to leave the 'Brain in a Vat'," Rena said almost tenderly. "Can you promise me one thing?"
If Rena didn't have similar facial features, Lin Sanjiu wouldn't have believed that Rena was the same person as the girl from back then. "What is it?"
"Give me a chance to explain myself. Let me finish," Rena said. "When we return to the real world, you might be impulsive. You might be angry at me. You might want to leave... I don't know. However, I hope that you can remain calm for the time being. You will soon understand that things are not what you think. "
Even Lin Sanjiu herself did not know what she was thinking.
She remembered what Xie Feng had said. "Even though some of the shark-type characters have wronged others, they are right." Lin Sanjiu wasn't stupid. She had followed the shark-type characters' clues and destroyed everything in an attempt to force out the person behind the shark-type characters. However, in the end, she had fallen into the 'Brain in a Vat' that Rena had prepared for her. Even if she didn't want to admit it, she couldn't ignore the relationship between the shark-type characters and the shark-type characters.
"Can you explain the actions of the sharks that I saw?" Lin Sanjiu asked with a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Rena looked like she wanted to say something, but she shook her head and smiled.
The two of them seemed to be moving faster and faster, and the surroundings were getting brighter and brighter. Strangely, Lin Sanjiu had been living in warmth and light for the past few years, and her surroundings were brighter than ever before. However, at this moment, she felt like she was floating up from the depths of the sea. Skylight reached out and grabbed her, and the water rippled. When she looked back, she saw that Exodus had retreated into the depths of the dark universe. Together with her friends and the memories of the past few years, they disappeared into the depths of the universe.
Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath and opened her eyes, as if she had really just floated up from the sea.
… Strange, did she close her eyes at all?
She knew that before she fell into the 'brain in a vat', she was walking in Fan Jia City and saw a group of people in biochemical suits watching a row of screens. Lin Sanjiu thought that she had accidentally stepped into a trap or was taken somewhere else. Little did she know that when she opened her eyes, she was still standing at the same spot and in the same position.
One of Lin Sanjiu's hands was still resting on the white wall of the walkway. The incandescent light from the incandescent lamp above her head shone on the machines that were equipped with caterpillar tracks, discs, and metal enclosed tubes in the middle of the walkway.
Even her neck, just like a few years ago — no, only a few moments had passed in reality — was slightly stretched out from behind the corner of the wall, looking outside.
The group of people in biochemical suits did not even notice Lin Sanjiu's presence, nor did they know how many years had passed in her body. They were still staring at the ordinary people on the screen in front of them. As they pointed at them, they whispered to each other, and their recording devices kept ringing. Lin Sanjiu even heard one of them say, "Not bad. Team A succeeded. Let's try the next team."
"What did Team A do? Oh right, where is Rena?"
It was only then that Lin Sanjiu snapped out of her daze. She quickly looked around.
As if the person could hear her thoughts, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure walked out from the depths of the walkway behind Lin Sanjiu. Just like in the 'brain', Rena was wrapped in a windbreaker. Every time she took a step, her black legs would pop out from the windbreaker. The windbreaker and black pants made her look like she was walking on the yellowed piano keys. It was as if this walkway was a piece of music that she had meticulously written and no one could hear.
Lin Sanjiu thought that she might soon be able to hear Rena's music piece in its entirety.
"I have too many questions," Lin Sanjiu said in a low voice before the girl could approach her.
"I know," Rena smiled at her. Rena smiled at her. Her smile was still natural and slightly slanted, but it did not reach her heart's content. "I am willing to answer you. Do you know where to start? "
Lin Sanjiu nodded.
Their voices echoed through the walkway and attracted the attention of the group of people in biochemical suits. One of them quickly asked from afar, "Who's over there?"
Rena walked past the corner of the walkway and said naturally, "You guys continue with your work. I will bring someone over to take a look."
"Ah, yes …" The group of people was stunned. They didn't expect to see Lin Sanjiu here and now.
Rena seemed to have become a very important person. When she led Lin Sanjiu into the walkway, the group of people in biochemical suits behaved themselves. They didn't even look at the two of them. However, Lin Sanjiu could feel that most of their attention had flown away from their screens. They were trying to sense and sense Rena, who was walking behind them. They were amazed by her existence.
"Shark is an organization that we created. In the beginning, we only hoped to gain power and protection in an apocalyptic world … It's really an accident that things have turned out like this." After the two of them walked for a while, Rena led Lin Sanjiu to stroll along the walkway, which was filled with sophisticated instruments and equipment. It looked like a factory or a laboratory at the same time. As they walked, Rena said, "I don't usually appear in public anymore, so they rarely see me."
Lin Sanjiu's introduction to the Shark series wasn't too surprising. Since Rena was able to occupy such an important position in the Shark series, it meant that the Shark series was already in Rena's bag. If there was anything that caught Lin Sanjiu's attention, it was the way Rena used "we".
"Naturally, I have a lot of questions to ask you about Shark. But, the first question I want to ask you is not this." Lin Sanjiu looked at Rena. A myriad of emotions welled up in her heart. They were complicated, gentle and intense. In the end, she could only ask one question, "How have you and Reno been all these years? Are you alright?"
Including Xiang Feng in the "brain in a vat", this was the first time Rena had the same expression as the young girl from many years ago.
Rena looked a little surprised, a little like she wanted to laugh and a little like she wanted to cry. All of a sudden, she came back to life. She had lost all her age and hardened shell. It was as if she wanted to lean on Lin Sanjiu's arm and ask her why she took so long. However, the cheerful and lively Rena disappeared as soon as she saw the mature and cool Rena's face.
"You are still the same... the same. You haven't changed," Rena sighed and smiled. Rena sighed and said with a smile, "I'm already an adult, but you still want to extend your arms and hug us."
Lin Sanjiu really wished that Rena could stretch out her hand and help her wipe away the dust that might have gotten on her face.
"Ever since we parted ways with you, we have suffered a little and taken some risks. But, there's nothing special to talk about. At that time, our goal was very clear... So what if it was an apocalyptic world? So what if life is unpredictable? There are solutions to everything. You can mold people into what you want and place things where they should be. As long as you have power and strength, even an apocalyptic world will prostrate before you. "
Rena suddenly laughed and said self-deprecatingly, "At least, that's what we thought at that time."
"My brother and I were quite lucky. We were quite capable. Plus, we had people to help us. So, gradually, we got closer to our ideal situation..." Rena seemed to be reminiscing as she said softly, "But, I realized later on that we were too naive. If there's something that even power can't tame... it must be fate. "
Lin Sanjiu looked at her without saying a word.
"Who would have thought that something would go wrong even though we had a visa?" This time, Rena's smile seemed to be a subconscious attempt to hide her emotions. "I haven't seen my brother for many years. Even with my power and resources … I still couldn't find any trace of Big Brother. "
Even though the plot is progressing, the writing style is fixed. Open a document, adjust the font and settings, and start writing... It gets boring after a long time. Now, I have found a way to improve this. I can set up a font. I can download all the fonts I like and install them on the computer. The same text will look different if I change the font. It might even affect my choice of words and sentences. Currently, I am using the Ming Garden Style. I feel that the emotions in my words are very delicate...
