The European Emperor’s character remains standing

Chapter 113 The truth from the past

Calculating the time it took for Lin Shilu and the others to clear the Mao Cafe dungeon, only ten minutes had passed in the real world.

Ten minutes after Zhu Qingxuan entered the room, Hu Shi felt the vibration of the terminal on his wrist. He opened the terminal and found the message pushed by the system, and found that the source was the game forum.

When I clicked on the game forum, I saw a few posts pinned to the top.

[The two major guilds, Sunset Red and Dawn Moon, have accessed the cat cafe dungeon for the first time. 】

[Do you still remember the cat and deer from the closed beta? They are back in the world! 】

[Sunset Red, Dawn Moon won the title of the first guild in the system after the first pass. 】

[The dungeon guide store has launched a wonderful review of the first pass of the Mao Ka dungeon, come quickly! 】

The latest four posts on the home page were all about Lin Shilu and the others who had just cleared the Mao Ka dungeon. Huzi shrunk the relevant page and urged: "Are you okay? Lu Zai and the others have cleared the Mao Ka dungeon for the first time not long ago. .”

The sound was not loud, but it echoed in the corridor.

After Zhu Qingxuan entered the room, the door seemed to be closed tightly, but in fact there was a crack, so he could hear the voices outside.

There was a thin sound from the side, and Hu Shi turned around to see it was Zhu Qingxuan coming out of the room.

"Come, come, I was cleaning up the traces just now. About what I found, go to my room and tell me."

After Zhu Qingxuan came out, he closed the door and canceled the system installed on the door.

After a while, the two entered the room.

"Did you find anything?" There were no extra stools in Zhu Qingxuan's room, so Hu Hu chose to sit on the edge of the bed and asked.

"Yes. According to the records in my sister's notebook, Lu Zai and the others want to fulfill Ling Qixian's obsession and make Ling Qixian and Lu Lu Zai become best friends. Huahua and the others should have mistakenly thought that Ling Qixian wanted to pursue her. Only Lu Zai helped. In addition, there are some trivial sentences in the notebook that I can’t understand. There is a very important person’s name recorded on it: Xi Ling.”

Zhu Qingxuan told Lin Shilu and Su Heng the purpose of the two camps, and then took the pen and paper from the table next to the key person's name in the notebook and wrote it down.

He then shared some other details he saw in the notebook.

"That's all I remember. These are written on the new laptop. The old laptop is equipped with a privacy system. I can't crack it because the decryption system on my terminal is installed on the door, so the camera function of the terminal It cannot be used." Zhu Qingxuan spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Xi Ling, this name feels so familiar. I seem to have heard it before, but I forgot where I heard it." When Hu Shi heard the name, he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it. .

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of something related to this name: "Is your sister's ID called Jin Mu, and if Jin Mu is changed, it will be the word analysis?"

Zhu Qingxuan thought for a moment and replied: "Indeed."

"It seems that this person is indeed very important. Unfortunately, some key words are blacked out and cannot be seen. Without more critical information, we cannot make reasonable speculations."

Hu Shi asked: "What should we do now?"

"Of course it's to watch the show. Isn't our original purpose just to know their secrets?" Zhu Qingxuan said without thinking.

"Right!"

Beards fit their original purpose, indeed.

The next second, the terminal on Hu Shi's wrist rang a timed bell. He opened the ring tone page and saw the note on it, saying: "It's getting late, I'll go back first. I'll go home and take a look."

Zhu Qingxuan also saw the note on the ringtone and asked doubtfully: "Aren't your cats and dogs taken to the company by the two parents?"

After having breakfast at Lu Zai's house, Huzi Shi went back home before accompanying Zhu Qingxuan to his house. He found that his cats and dogs were gone. As expected, they were taken to the company by two parents.

"Yeah, but I don't know if they will bring the cats and dogs back. If some of them are left at home, then I have to be responsible for feeding the cat and dog food. By the way, don't forget to read the forum. !”

"Then I won't send you off. Remember to close the door when you go out." Zhu Qingxuan nodded and warned Hu Shi before he went out.

"Okay!" Huzi Shi waved his hand, and after going out, he closed the bedroom door. After leaving the living room and the door, he also closed the door.

After Hu Shi left, Zhu Qingxuan read the posts on the game forum alone in the bedroom.

When reading the post, he could still recall the self-narration behind Zhu Qingyou's note, and thought: "It's really hard to imagine my sister being moved, and it's also hard to imagine my sister being unable to let go because she's alone. Having said that, my sister's love for Lu Is this the possessiveness between friends, or some other emotion. Is it really difficult to understand? There is no terminal calculation that can make people understand."

They didn't know it at this time, but the gears of fate had already turned.

They are already destined to be in the game.

Zhu Qingxuan never knew that he was in the game, and Zhu Qingyou didn't write anything about Zhu Qingxuan in his new notebook.

Husband Shi didn't even know that he still had Xi Ling's memory fragments attached to him, because the memory fragments he had were rationalized by the rules.

Sooner or later, they will one day change from their current status as bystanders and outsiders to become insiders little by little with their revived emotions.

The ending may be that as the pieces of the body are peeled off, you will change from a participant to a bystander again.

As a bystander and a close friend of Lin Shilu, I watch the intertwining of fates between the fragments, the subject and Lin Shilu.

Their fate is unknown at this moment, but it is destined because of the fragments attached to them.

The red thread of fate will eventually pull the pieces of them back to Lin Shilu's side to fulfill their obsession.

Before entering the Mao Cafe dungeon, Lin Shilu, An Zhe'er and Zhu Qingyou had such a conversation.

Contrary to Hu Zifeng's purpose, Su Heng and the others wanted to bring Lin Shilu and Ling Qixian together on the surface, but secretly they were thinking about how to beat the couple and muddy the waters.

An Zhe'er and Zhu Qingyou wanted to take the opportunity in this dungeon to create time for Lin Shilu and Ling Qixian to get along, so that the fragments could fulfill their own obsessions.

Although An Zhe'er and Zhu Qingyou are participants, the relationship between the fragment and Lin Shilu is still from the perspective of bystanders and cannot directly participate.

It doesn't matter why, if there is, it can only be one reason.

It was Xuan Meng who used various methods to prevent other fragments from completing their obsessions in order to prevent fights between fragments and fragments due to their revived emotions.

If someone wants to interfere between Lin Shilu and the (Ling Qixian) fragment to complete the obsession, all non-assisted actions will cause accidents in various reasonable ways.

For example, Huzi Feng, who didn't know the truth, ostensibly wanted to bring Ling Qixian and Lin Shilu together, but actually wanted to prevent them from interacting and proceed in a different way.

This was still considered a non-assistant behavior by the rules, so Zhu Qingxuan and Hu Shishi knew part of the truth out of their inner curiosity.

After Lin Shilu disappeared, he lived in Xinggui for a period of time due to energy deficiency syndrome.

During this period, Xi Ling learned that Lin Shilu suffered from energy deficiency syndrome because of her. She chose to make a deal with Xuan Meng to cure Lin Shilu's disease and then undergo the adult trial.

The result of this is that the body of Xi Ling disappears and splits into countless fragments.

It was also there that the two brothers Lin Shilu and Huzi Fenghushi got along for a while. They also became neighbors for a period of time. They met several times and played together several times.

Zhu Qingxuan and Zhu Qingyou lived in the same community as Sanhua and Qiye. Among them, Zhu Qingyou had the largest memory fragments and emotions that were not completely closed. She had frequent one-sided contact with Lin Shilu.

Hu Shi and Zhu Qingxuan often visited her because of the fragments attached to their bodies. Occasionally Hu Hu Feng would also visit her. An Zhe'er moved into the community a week after Xi Ling disappeared. Not long after moving in, Lin Shilu went to Xinggui for treatment due to energy deficiency disorder. After the treatment, she returned to the community in Xuanmeng Realm. Met An Zheer.

An Zhe'er also met Lin Shilu during this period and learned about Xiling from her.

Hu Shishi felt that the name Xi Ling was familiar because Lin Shilu had mentioned it when he was undergoing treatment at Xinggui.

In more than ten years, they have changed a lot.

Lin Shilu was hit by the disappearance of Xi Ling. The relevant memories during Xinggui treatment were blurred by the automatic processing of the brain, and he could no longer remember what happened back then.

Zhu Qingyou has the largest memory fragment in her body, and she also has the feelings for Lin Shilu in the fragment of Xi Ling, and her personality is exactly the same as Xi Ling. Under these many conditions, Lin Shilu has no memory of Zhu Qingyou at all. The rest are all closed.

The same was true for Zhu Qingxuan and Hu Shishi. The related memories were blurred and the memory modification was rationalized. She didn't notice it at all after they met. She had met several of them in the past.

Not long after Lin Shilu left Star Orbit, because the trial had not officially started yet, the fragments attached to the three of them were gradually suppressed. After she left, the fragmented memories of them were rationalized and merged with the previous interactions with Lin Shilu, and the emotions in the memory fragments were also blocked.

It wasn't until they were pulled by fate and came to the realm of mysterious dreams that the fragments on their bodies began to revive at the right time, and the chains that suppressed their emotions gradually disappeared.

But when Lin Shilu saw them, he thought it was because of the debris they carried. In fact, this is not entirely correct, because in addition to the fragmented emotions, there is also a part of their own emotions.

There were no fragments in Hu Zi Feng's body, which is what Xi Ling said before leaving. After a brief reunion, Xi Ling also knew about the fragments and Lin Shilu's treatment period.

But the memory of that period is a burden to Lin Shilu. Even if the wound heals, it is still a wound and there is a risk of being torn apart.

She didn't mention it, but vaguely said that she had met the four of them during Star Track therapy.

Lin Shilu also knew that her memory was blurred and rationalized due to trauma, so she understood the hidden meaning of her words after briefly mentioning it in Jiling.

She was very lovable as a child, and even more lovable when she was suffering from energy deficiency.

Later, Hu's father and Hu's mother changed jobs and moved to the same community. When Hu Shi and Hu Feng transferred to Xuanmeng College, Hu Shi knew that Lin Shilu was their neighbor for a while and later moved away. That girl.

Zhu Qingyou and Zhu Qingxuan knew about it no later than these two people, but not long after they found out, Xi Ling's adult trial officially began. Some time before the trial started, Xi Ling had the right to explain everything to Lin Shilu, so she could briefly control Zhu Qingyou, who had her largest memory fragment.

Pulled by the fate of the fragments, and having an inexplicable feeling in her own heart, after Zhu Qingyou knew that Lin Shilu was the person she often visited in the past, she planned to go to Xuanmeng Academy in advance. Prepare lots of gifts.

Just the day before, there were memory fragments, and with the trial premise, Xi Ling briefly gathered all the fragments of consciousness, controlled the body, and used some money she had saved in the Xuanmeng Realm before disappearing to buy Lin Shilu The birthday present she missed.

Before Xi Ling was about to leave again, she took action to suppress the signs of recovery from the fragments on Hu Shi, Zhu Qingxuan and Zhu Qingyou, because it was not yet time.

The memories related to the fragments attached to their bodies were after she and Lin Shilu had been together for a while. The memories of that period were in the middle and late stages, and it was not the time to wake up yet.

Although she suppressed the fragmented memories and emotions that were about to revive in their bodies, this time she acted more rationally, blurring their memories. Unless the fragments attached to them disappear, the rationalized memories will become normal and there will be no interference.

This is also the reason why Hu Shi feels familiar but can't remember it, while Zhu Qingxuan doesn't think the name "Xiling" is familiar.

The emotions revived by the fragments on his body were far more serious than those of Hu Shi, and the emotions and memories brought about by Jiling's suppression of the fragments were the most severe.

When Xi Ling appeared again, she briefly gathered the consciousness of all the fragments, as well as part of the energy of the largest fragment, to form a condensate that ultimately relied on Zhu Qingyou.

It can be understood as a semi-entity state, two completely different people, or it can be understood as one person, with a shell on the outside.

When she controlled her, Zhu Qingyou had no consciousness, but she would have relevant memories after waking up.

Therefore, when the aggregate of energy finally dissipates, it will be like a broken mirror, and then gradually melt into points of light. When the semi-entity state is shattered, the consciousness gathered by other fragments will be dispersed again, and the true ontology will be revealed.

After Xi Ling woke up again, a large part of it borrowed Zhu Qingyou's power. Even if she suppressed the emotions of the memory fragments in the three of them, Zhu Qingyou would still revive the fragments' emotions because of Xi Ling's brief appearance.

This cannot be suppressed, and this recovery is silent. Because emotions are not just the memories attached to the fragments, but also the memories of her and Lin Shilu's previous relationship when they were in Star Orbit.

Unlike Zhu Qingxuan and Hu Shi's vague memories and rationalizations, she clearly remembers that her memory is separate from the fragmented memory, but the emotional boundaries in the memory are blurred.

This is also the reason why Zhu Qingyou said in the diary that she, Xi Ling and Ling Qixian are still the same kind of people after all.

No one who has seen the light is willing to let it go. If I had not seen the light, then my world would be barren, but after seeing the light, my world would be full of flowers.

This passage is just like Zhu Qingyou's current state. She can clearly distinguish between herself and the fragmented memories, but she cannot tell whether the emotions contained in the two are consistent. Therefore, Zhu Qingyou cannot guarantee whether her actions will affect the plan, or whether she will make decisions based on her subconscious behavior and emotions.

She is confused because she does not know her own heart; but because she has insight into her heart, she can accurately predict what will happen next.

The money that Xi Ling bought for Lin Shilu's birthday gift came from her savings. The card where she saved money was something she had been saving for a long time and planned to buy something for Lin Shilu, but she didn't have time to tell him.

Not long after Xi Ling's retreat ended, she discovered Lin Shilu's current state. She made a deal with Xuan Meng to save Lin Shilu from deteriorating. At the same time, she herself had to enter the adult trial in advance, and all the traces she had left behind will disappear and will not reappear until the trial is completed.

She asked Xuan Meng to save that card. As long as she knew the card number and password, she could use it.

The last item Lin Shilu had related to Xi Ling was the bracelet, which was also preserved with the power of rules.

The above is the complete truth about their past.

In the intertwined fate of Xi Ling and Lin Shilu in the past, only a few people knew the truth. Even among the two parties involved, only one Xi Ling who made a deal with Xuanmeng knew all the truth.

Although Lin Shilu didn't know the complete truth, he could still guess the truth from some of the actions everyone showed from time to time.

When she knew the truth, she almost felt that the energy in her body was slowly recovering, the situation stopped deteriorating, and she returned to the realm of Xuanmeng.

The situation almost stopped deteriorating. At Lin Shilu's request, Bai Yunci returned to the realm of Xuanmeng with her.

Bai Yunci learned the complete truth from Xuan Meng. When she returned home, although she concealed it and pretended that she didn't know about Jiling's existence like everyone else, there were still some differences in her behavior.

Lin Shilu also discovered the truth at this time.

Knowing that her condition did not continue to worsen was because of Xi Ling, after several tests, she found that Xi Ling should be fine, but could not make contact, and she felt relieved.

Then, Bai Yunci, who knew the truth but pretended not to know, found a way to save the last item related to Xi Ling in his hand, which was the bracelet.

During the preservation process, Bai Yunci took Lin Shilu to find Xuanmeng and asked her to help preserve it.

This is a piece of cake for Xuan Meng. It just adds the energy of the rules to the bracelet, which offsets the power of the rules that made the bracelet disappear.

But when Lin Shilu saw Xuan Meng reaching out and flicking the bracelet, he felt that the originally unstable energy magnetic field on the bracelet had stabilized, which meant that it would not disappear again.

Lin Shilu still felt a little dreamy and unbelievable, but at least after experiencing such an incident, she was able to sleep well. She no longer had to worry all night long that the bracelet would become unstable due to inexplicable energy. She had to continuously transport the energy in her body, otherwise This thing will suddenly disappear.

When he saw the other party, based on the energy fluctuations at the moment when he took action, Lin Shilu judged that Xuan Meng was the one who helped them.

Although he didn't know the other party's reason, before leaving, Xuan Meng specifically asked Bai Yun to leave and said: "You are a smart child, don't think about it, don't look at it, don't explore anything about her anymore, there is always something wrong with her." One day the person you want will come back. All you have to do is wait and train your body to become better."

At this point, the curtain comes to an end.

　One more thing to add here is that the actions of Nanye and Qingxuan are not behaviors that good children should learn, so please do not imitate them.

　　An An still overestimated herself. This chapter is interspersed with some additions, mainly to remind herself. Let yourself not forget that more than ten chapters ago, Xiao Xuanzi and Qiye were still in the room looking for the truth.
