Chapter 120 Extra Birthday Gift (4188 words in total)

"No, no"

"Run quickly."

In the silent night, Lin Yi once again fell into a painful nightmare, frowning and murmuring.

In the dream, he was standing in a strange place. When he looked up, he could vaguely see a sign hanging on the door, and he could vaguely see the word "ANGEL".

Thick smoke filled the air, and the man-eating flames danced rapidly, lighting the whole place red.

The outer walls of the orphanage were burned by blazing flames, and the glass windows were shattered by the violent heat wave, making a creepy and sharp sound.

Lin Yi saw children shouting and crying in pain among the flames. Their eyes were full of despair and helplessness.

The firelight cast twisted shadows dancing in the empty corridors, and in the light came scalding heat and suffocating smoke.

He could feel the heat of the flames even from a distance.

Lin Yi struggled to run forward and ask for help, but was unable to take a step and lost control of his body.

All he could do was watch the fire getting bigger and bigger, and the painful wails echoed through the sky.

"Why?" He didn't understand the purpose of coming here. Was it just to see this human tragedy?

No one answered the doubts in his heart.

As the fire continued to spread, Lin Yi felt inexplicably short of breath, and the temperature around him continued to rise, as if he was also in a fire.

Only then did he notice that the surrounding scene was changing.

In a certain room in the orphanage, Lin Yi turned into a baby who had lost the ability to move and could only howl and cry.

Watching the smoke and flames spreading densely, expanding the territory wantonly.

The thick black smoke shrouded the entire space in a dark haze.

The picture frames on the wall began to be eroded by the firelight, and the wooden furniture was quickly ignited, making a sharp cracking sound.

The children's dormitory was filled with fear and chaos. They woke up from their beds one after another, restless, trying to find a way out.

And he was wrapped in a small mattress, watching the flames surround him.

There was chaos and chaos all around.

The smoke filled the air quickly, making it difficult for him to breathe.

In the raging sea of ​​fire, Lin Yi vaguely heard someone talking.

"Definitely. Find"

".deal with"

The vague conversation drifted further and further with his confused thoughts, until no sound could be heard anymore.

The next second, Lin Yi opened his eyes suddenly and found himself lying on the bed, with a thick quilt covering his head. No wonder he felt difficulty breathing.

A nightmare made him breathless and his body was covered in sweat.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door, and then someone shouted: "Xiao Lin, are you awake? The dean is looking for you."

"Wake up, I'll be here soon." Lin Yi opened the quilt, sat up, and stared at a place absentmindedly.

Although the person is awake, his thoughts are still occupied by the content of the dream.

Every once in a while, I dream about those scenes, but I can’t remember them clearly after I wake up from the dream.

These strange nightmares are as mysterious as his life experience, and there is always no clue.

Only the feeling of fear and powerlessness deeply affected him.

Lin Yi reached out and rubbed his cheek vigorously, giving up on thinking about the content of the dream.

So many years of attempts have ended in failure. He has never been able to recall any more details, nor can he find any clues related to his life experience.

No one knows where he comes from or who his parents are.

The only clue on his body is a silver plate with the word 01 engraved on it.

Therefore, the old dean named him Lin Yi.

Thinking of this, he walked into the bathroom to freshen up briefly, changed out of his sweat-soaked clothes, and left the room.

"Dean, are you looking for me?" Lin Yi knocked on the door of Tian's office and leaned against the door.

The old, gray-haired dean, who was over sixty years old, stood up and put down the newspaper in his hand, took off his reading glasses and put them on the table. He waved to Lin Yi and said, "Come here, I have something for you."

"What?" Lin Yi couldn't help but be curious.

The old dean took out the key from his pocket, opened the safe behind him, and took out two metal boxes engraved with mysterious patterns, one with a silver-white shell and the other with a pure black shell.

She placed the two metal boxes in front of Lin Yi and said with a serious expression: "Today is your 22nd birthday. It's time for you to choose this birthday gift."

"Children make choices, adults want them all."

Lin Yi smiled and reached out to touch the metal box.

"Be serious, listen to me carefully, and don't be so playful." The old dean frowned and slapped away Lin Yi's extended hand.

"I know." Lin Yi sensed something was wrong and restrained his smile, not daring to be presumptuous again.

The old dean's eyes fell on the metal box and he said faintly: "Do you still remember Daddy-Long-Legs?"

"Daddy-long-legs?" Lin Yiyi was stunned. He had not heard this name for several years.

Growing up, the person closest to him, apart from the old dean, was his uncle-long-legs.

I come to see him every year, and every time I come I bring him lots of delicious and fun things.

When he was a child, he once suspected that the other party was his biological father, but unfortunately it was later confirmed that he was not.

But this does not prevent them from having a good relationship.

It’s just that Daddy-Long-Legs never came again five years ago, and no news came back.

Lin Yi guessed that the other party might have a family of his own, so naturally he would not have much energy to show love to the children in the orphanage.

After all, they are not related by blood.

He did not have the qualifications and status to ask the other party to come to the orphanage to visit him.

In fact, this kind of thing is common in orphanages.

The love of adults changes over time, and few can remain the same forever.

When all their energy is spent elsewhere, few people will remember the children in the orphanage they once cared for.

He had always thought that Daddy-Long-Legs was the same, so even though he was sad for a long time, he still chose to accept the reality.

Unexpectedly, the old dean brought it up again today.

"Did he give me the things?" Lin Yi asked in a low voice, with a hint of unexplainable complex emotions in his tone, "What about others? Why don't they come to see me."

Although he has accepted the reality, it does not mean that his heart will not be touched when he hears the name.

"I don't know." The old dean shook his head. She knew that Daddy-long-legs was actually very important to Lin Yi.

Even though Lin Yi hardly mentioned this name in the past few years, he could still see him sitting on the swing in a daze every time.

The old swing was made by Daddy Long-Legs and Lin Yi when he was seven years old.

There are many wonderful memories of being with each other on it.

It's a pity that time has passed forever. As soon as Lin grew up, there was no news from Daddy-Long-Legs, and the swing became too old to swing anymore. "This birthday present was given to me when he left five years ago."

The old dean touched the pattern on the metal box, with a look of recollection on his face, "He said that on your 22nd birthday, if he hasn't come back yet, he will give you the choice of this birthday gift."

"In the silver metal box is a wonderful life he gives you. Be an ordinary ordinary person and live a happy life. But the price is that you have to leave here and live in a new place."

"Why should I leave? And isn't I just living an ordinary life now?" Lin Yi was very puzzled by the old dean's words. He had lived here for more than ten years, why did he want to leave suddenly.

what's going on?

And why should Daddy-Long-Legs give him the gift he prepared five years ago on his 22nd birthday?

Is there any special significance?

The old dean knew that Lin Yi must have many doubts in his heart. She patted Lin Yi's shoulder and continued: "I know you have many questions in your mind. I don't know much about them, so I can't answer them for you."

"But I guess it has something to do with what happened when you were seven years old."

"Seven years old." When Lin heard this, he tried to recall what he was doing when he was seven years old.

He only remembered that there was something wrong with his eyes at that time, his vision was always blurry, and some inexplicable pictures always appeared.

For this reason, Daddy-Long-Legs specially took him for a physical examination. There was nothing serious wrong with him, but he was a little malnourished.

As a result, for a long time he was asked not to be a picky eater and to eat more vegetables.

It is precisely because of this that he and Daddy Long-Legs agreed that as long as he eats honestly and is not picky about food, he will be rewarded with a swing.

Apart from this incident, nothing special seems to have happened to him.

"What else did he say?" Lin Yi couldn't figure out what this matter had to do with the birthday gift.

"In the black metal box is an opportunity he gives you. An opportunity to explore the truth and find out your life experience."

"But the price is that your life will lose peace from now on. Various dangers may occur during the search. You may lose your life before you find the answer."

The old dean finished his words slowly and watched Lin Yi's reaction quietly.

When the other party told her this, she knew something big was going to happen.

It's just that she still has a glimmer of hope, hoping that the other party can succeed and come back smoothly.

unfortunately

"Then of course I choose the opportunity." Lin Yi pointed to the black metal box without any hesitation, "I have had enough of being tortured by nightmares for so many years."

The old dean sighed. Sure enough, the child's choice was the same as what she had in mind.

"You don't need to answer me now. You still have time to think about it. This road is not easy." The old dean persuaded.

Her heart was full of contradictions, and she was both happy and worried about Lin Yi's choice.

After all, she watched the child grow up, and she also had feelings in her heart. After all, she couldn't bear him to choose a difficult path.

Lin Yi shook his head and looked at the old dean firmly, "I'm sorry, dean. I've thought about it very clearly."

"I don't want to leave here more than having a good life."

"I want to know who I am, what the nightmares I've had over the years are, and what my parents are."

These are things that he has been hiding in his heart and troubled for many years.

After finally getting the chance to find out the answer, he couldn't give up no matter what.

Seeing Lin Yi's firm attitude, the old dean could only smile helplessly and push the black metal box over, "The password is your birthday."

"Thank you, Dean."

Lin reached out and turned the first password on the black metal box, but was interrupted by the old dean's words halfway through.

"You can take it back to your room and take a look."

The old dean stretched out his hand to stop Lin Yi's next move, pushed him out of the office, and whispered: "Don't let others know what's inside."

Although she had already guessed what was inside, as long as she didn't see it, she could still deceive herself, and everything would not develop in the worst direction.

As I get older, I can't stand excitement and can't bear to see things that are easily sentimental.

She watched Lin Yi go away, with a hint of sadness on her face.

Back in the room, Lin Yi sat on the bed holding the black metal box and turned the code.

【0718】

With a click, the combination lock was unlocked.

When he opened the box, there was a bead emitting golden light, the size of a baby's fist.

"Huh?" Lin Yi looked at the beads in front of him in confusion, wondering what this had to do with his life experience.

He curiously reached out to touch it, and as soon as he touched the bead, a burst of dazzling light burst out, blinding people.

After the light disappeared, the box was empty.

Then a strange mechanical sound sounded in his mind.

[Dear master, System 2835 is at your service wholeheartedly. Could you please give me any instructions? 】

Lin Yi looked around fiercely, but there was nothing there, "System? 2835?"

【Dear Master, I am here】

"Who are you? Why are you talking in my head and can't come out? And why do you call me master?" Lin asked several questions as soon as he opened his mouth.

[Dear master, I am your system 2835, not a thing]

[To be precise, I am your closest partner and assistant, and a guide to help you move forward]

[My structure is composed of energy groups and programs, so it can be stored directly in your mind]

[It will consume a lot of energy to come out, and it will not be able to meet the owner's needs for the time being]

[According to the program settings, you are my master]

The system answered all Lin Yi's questions honestly, giving people a feeling that everything was answered, and there didn't seem to be any danger.

"Then do you know who I am?" Lin Yi relaxed his vigilance slightly and asked what he wanted to know most in his heart.

[Dear master, you are the master of system 2835]

"Other than that?"

[Dear Master, the system cannot find other answers]

Hearing this answer, Lin Yi was a little discouraged, thinking that he would know who he was right away.

He sat on the bed in silence, and after a while he spoke, "You said you were my guide. What's the use? What are you going to do?"

[Dear master, please wait patiently for three minutes, data is being transmitted to you]

Sizzle.

Lin Yi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as if a powerful force was surging in his mind.

A large amount of information and data poured in like a flood, filling his consciousness.

The data contained various words, images, and sounds, mixed together, making him feel dizzy and his head felt like it was going to explode.

As the amount of data surged, Lin Yi felt that his head seemed to become heavy, and there seemed to be countless lines intertwined and rumbling in his head.

The pressure of information made it almost impossible for him to think, and every nerve in his mind was throbbing painfully.

The rapid influx of information made it impossible for Lin Yi to distinguish which ones were important and which ones were insignificant. He felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by this wave of information.

In the end, the tremendous pressure caused him to fall completely into a coma.
