The truth was confirmed.
This was indeed the world inside the Pseudo-Monolith, and the outside world was the real world.
But …
Why did he feel a tinge of disappointment? Or somewhere deep in his heart, he hoped that the memory outside was just a dream? A cruel and huge dream?
So that he could cherish those people and things that he had lost?
Chu Yunsheng couldn't help but feel ridiculous for the thoughts deep in his heart. He turned his head and looked out of the window.
Through the window, he could see the rows of buildings under the viaduct. Some of them were gray, some of them were white, and the glass outside the walls was reflecting dazzling sunlight. A zigzagging water divided these towering steel forests into two. The warm sunlight sprinkled on the Huangpu River in the middle, showing the peace and prosperity of a modern civilization.
If there was a dream, then under the sunlight, the ridiculous thoughts deep in his heart were the real daydreams!
If there was no dumb dumb insect, if there was no Liu Li who waited for him until she died, if there was no Dark who regarded him as his father, if there was no Edgar who never betrayed him, if … if there was no them, even if the world in front of him was real, how many "colors" would there be!?
Chu Yunsheng didn't know, but he knew that the life that he had experienced was not necessarily more wonderful than the original one. What's more, he was just in the world deduced from his own memory.
However, even if he could see through this, how should he face his relatives in the Pseudo-Monolith, and how should he face Liu Li who was still alive in this world?
This was a problem that Chu Yunsheng had to consider. Because so far, the people he had seen, the people he had dealt with, including the taxi driver in the car, were all living people!
Before entering the Pseudo-Monolith, he didn't have much time to think about this problem, and he didn't expect that the world inside the Pseudo-Monolith was so real. After waking up, he deliberately avoided this problem. Even in front of Yu Jian, he didn't ask about his aunt's family. But now, he had to face this problem. What should he do?
He restrained himself from going to the First People's Hospital immediately. This was the most direct reason. On the one hand, he really wanted to see his aunt's family, but on the other hand, he didn't know what he should do …
Gradually, Chu Yunsheng fell into contemplation.
…
Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped, and the driver turned his head and said, "Sir, we are here!"
Chu Yunsheng woke up from his contemplation and looked at the tall buildings outside the window. Just when he was about to take out money from his pocket, his body suddenly moved.
"Master, what did you just say?"
The driver knitted his brows. Today's road conditions were terrible, and there were car accidents everywhere. But he had no choice but to drive for the sake of the heavy money. Thus, his mood was covered with dust as he said in annoyance, "We've arrived! Ruijin Restaurant is in front. That's 46 RMB! "
Chu Yunsheng suddenly smiled. He had been pondering on the way here, but after hearing the driver's words, he suddenly understood everything.
The world deduced by the Pseudo-Monolith, no matter how huge, rich, and detailed it was, just like a taxi, it also had an end. Thirty years later, everything here would come to an end.
The more greedy he was, the deeper he would sink. He wanted to get the jade pendant, but he also wanted the illusory relatives in the Pseudo-Monolith. If he wanted to have the best of both worlds, he wouldn't be able to do anything well.
The purpose of coming to the Pseudo-Monolith was to find the fifth jade pendant, and it was his first priority. For this, he had to be cold and decisive, even everything in the Pseudo-Monolith could be sacrificed!
As long as he was alive, he would still have a chance to enter the Pseudo-Monolith again. Just like a taxi, he could rent it repeatedly. As long as he had money, if he wanted to, he would still have a chance to see them in the Pseudo-Monolith in the future. But outside the Pseudo-Monolith, his daughter only had less than three months to live.
Handing a fifty Yuan bill to the driver, Chu Yunsheng opened the door and said, "Thank you, keep the change."
Money no longer had any meaning for him.
Today was the 22nd, the first time the sun disappeared, the chaos was still raging on the media and the Internet. When the sun disappeared for another half an hour tomorrow, the whole city would completely fall into chaos. After that, it would not take long for money to become a piece of waste paper, and fists and weapons would become the hard currency.
Chu Yunsheng clearly remembered that in the original trajectory, Yu Xiaohai would call him tomorrow and tell him that the sun disappeared for another half an hour. Then people from all over the world would rush to the streets to withdraw cash and swipe their credit cards. All the supermarkets would be swept away, even the toilet paper would not be spared.
The chaos would last until the 24th. After the sun disappeared for another hour without warning, riots would break out all over the world. Excited and frightened people would go everywhere to inquire about the news and look for supplies. People were extremely frightened, and the crime rate would soar.
And in the early morning of the 25th, he was not sure about other cities, but Shanghai would implement a citywide martial law, and then the army would enter the city. That morning, he heard the sound of real bullets for the first time …
Chu Yunsheng had experienced countless bloody battles, so he was very sensitive and accurate about the comparison of power. After carefully checking his own state, he made an estimation. With his current state, he could protect himself, but if he wanted to fight against a mechanized army, it would be suicide.
Therefore, his only chance would be the chaos tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, which was before the army entered the city.
Once the army entered the city, he would have to cultivate his Yuan Qi and break through the next stage as soon as possible. Only when he reached Yuan Tian stage two would he have enough capital to fight against the army and the insect army.
Of course, it was not that he had to fight against the army. It was just that, just in case, he still remembered that Du Qishan from the 218th Regiment that entered Shanghai. He hated him a lot at that time. Secondly, he must have enough strength to prove himself to the army, so that he could carry out the plan he had made before he entered the Pseudo-Monolith.
And among all these things, the first thing that he needed to solve was the problem of Lin Shuiyao.
His trajectory had changed twenty days ago, so now he was not sure whether Lin Shuiyao would still "obediently" stay in the Ruijin Hotel. This situation must be figured out, and the first four jade pendants must be collected as soon as possible.
After that, he planned to take advantage of the chaos in the next two days to rob some food and supplies, especially cigarettes. He still had at least thirty years in the Pseudo-Monolith, and he didn't know how he could survive without cigarettes.
Of course, he also needed to find a bow. The senior practitioner's bow was probably still in the hands of that woman in Hong Kong. For the time being, he didn't have the time and strength to get it back. So he just needed to find an ordinary one. It was enough to deal with the red-shelled insects that appeared the first time. His archery skill was now very good. He was no longer a beginner who couldn't hit the target in the 8th building of Mingdu Garden.
Now it was the age of light. It was very difficult to find a person in a five-star hotel with more than thirty floors, let alone a celebrity.
He had seen an American movie before, it was very vague. One of the plots was that the protagonist was looking for the target who just stayed in a hotel in a strange city. The method was very clever. First, he found the phone number of all the luxury hotels in the city from a travel magazine, and then made up an excuse to call the service desk one by one. At this time, the service desk would only say whether the person was there or not, but it would not disclose other information. Then the protagonist found the hotel that said the person was there, and then made an excuse to ask the service desk to transfer the call to the target's room. After the call was connected, he didn't hang up the phone. Instead, he walked straight to the service desk, told the service desk the name of the target, and then found an excuse to answer the phone. At this time, because the phone was not hung up, the service desk's phone naturally couldn't get through, but the extension number that the service desk dialed revealed the room number.
Originally, Chu Yunsheng wanted to use this method to find Lin Shuiyao's room, but when he dialed Ruijin Hotel, the waiter politely said, "I'm sorry, sir, we have a rule that does not allow us to inquire about the customer's name and other private information. If you want to know the room number, please tell me directly, thank you."
Feeling depressed, Chu Yunsheng had to call Yu Jian. If he guessed correctly, Yu Jian's people must have been following him all the time.
Sure enough, after hearing Chu Yunsheng's request, a blue car with an ordinary photo sign drove into the entrance of Ruijin Hotel. A man with a flattop haircut and a bluetooth headset got out of the car and waved to him.
Chu Yunsheng only told Yu Jian that he wanted to stay in Ruijin Hotel, but he didn't have an ID card, so he asked him to help him. The matter of the jade plate was very important, so he couldn't tell anyone about it for the time being. However, he estimated that Yu Jian would soon investigate all the guests in Ruijin Hotel in private. Just as Yu Jian said, this was their territory.
As long as he stayed in the hotel first, he would definitely have a way to inquire about Lin Shuiyao. She was very popular right now, so it was impossible for her to stay in the hotel without any news.
Of course, for Jian, it was a good thing that Chu Yunsheng had a fixed place to live, and he didn't have to run around all the time. It also saved them the trouble of following him around all day.
The procedures were quickly completed. The room was naturally an ordinary standard room. Yu Jian's group did not have that much money to let him live in the presidential suite.
After taking a hot shower and changing into new clothes that he bought from a nearby store, Chu Yunsheng opened all the curtains and let the long-lost sunshine shine on the table, sofa, and carpet.
This morning, he was awakened by the blood sun. There were many things that he didn't have time to carefully analyze. Most of his energy was spent on determining whether he was really awake or not, whether he was dreaming or not, whether this was the real world, and whether this was the world deduced by the Pseudo-Monolith, and so on. Therefore, he couldn't wait to rush back to the city, hoping to use the ancient book to immediately determine whether he was awake or dreaming, and which world was real.
When the dust settled, Chu Yunsheng was able to calm down and enjoy the sunshine that he hadn't seen for thirty years. At the same time, he analyzed the situation after his trajectory had changed, so that he could revise his plan.
It was really good to have sunshine in the world!
Facing the sun through his eyelids, he could feel the warmth of the sun. This was the memory that he had been dreaming about in the dark world for many years, but he didn't expect that it would appear so vividly in the world of the Pseudo-Monolith.
"It's a pity that Hanwu can't imagine what sunshine looks like in his entire life. However, if there is a chance, he can see Dong 'er again …"
Chu Yunsheng blinked his warm eyelids and sighed. He took out a piece of snow-white paper from the table and wrote the word "Zhao Ling" first. Then when he just wrote the word "Mu", the pen suddenly stopped.
On the right side of the sofa, the TV was still on. In addition to the factor that he hadn't watched TV for thirty years, he also needed to know the latest situation.
At this moment, the TV was broadcasting the authoritative news from CCTV. Chu Yunsheng heard something that surprised him.
"Now let's contact Sun Fei in Europe, we need to know the situation over there."
"Hello, host!"
"Hello, Sun Fei, can you tell us the situation in Paris now?"
"Okay, it's like this. Since this afternoon, a large number of people have gathered in front of the Elysee Palace in Paris, holding all kinds of slogans, and then asking the government to disclose the truth of the matter. We can now see that a large number of police have gathered in front of the presidential palace. In order to prevent the situation from escalating, President Francois Hollande has canceled his visit to the Middle East, and he called on the people to calm down through a televised speech …"
！！！
"Isn't it Sarkozy? Why is it Hollande? Who is Hollande!? "
"Is it because the judgment of the ancient book is wrong, or someone changed my memory!?" Chu Yunsheng was so shocked that he didn't even notice that the pencil had fallen to the ground.
