I Live Forever in Memory

"is it?"

Li Lin suddenly sneered, but his eyes were extremely cold, "I was born as an orphan, and the national policy requires each school to give special admission places, so I can go to school here, right?"

The class teacher frowned: "What do you want to say?"

"Are you sure that your so-called school leaders dare to expel orphan students like me at will? Do you want me to cry and complain on social media? Or go to pretend to be crazy and wear a depression hat? Public opinion exploded that the school discriminates against special students Can the leader bear the crime of causing students to be depressed, or can you? You know that I am an orphan... Do you want to have any hatred with a man who has nothing to worry about, but is in good health? teacher?"

"You, you..." The head teacher's face changed drastically, as if he didn't expect Li Lin to say these words.

Li Lin put away his smile, looked at the head teacher who didn't dare to say a word, turned around and left with the materials.

Yes, he accepted Bai Xiahua's proposal.

The latter has already arranged for him to go abroad with a visa, go to the private high school in Ridao, and arrange everything for school accommodation and language learning.Will come back in the future, probably not.Even if he returns to his country, he will never return to this city.

This is not his hometown, but he has lived here far more than his hometown.As for his hometown, he didn't want to go back either, there was no one for him to wait for, or anyone waiting for him.

After returning home and leaving tomorrow, sitting at the desk, watching the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window, he opened the second drawer of the desk.

Take out a small box from it, and there is a light blue hairpin inside.It was not sent out back then, and there is no need to send it out now.

The palm was raised high, and when it was about to be smashed down, Li Lin's eyes suddenly became speckled.

The world was distorted for a while, and then restored.

Some future memories gradually emerged in his mind, he paused for dozens of seconds, and when he came back to his senses, his whole temperament changed.

He lowered his hand that was raised in mid-air, and gently fiddled with the hairpin.

"These memories... I will forget them myself."

"You're lying." An intellectual voice sounded from the side, and at some point, a girl with white hair reaching her waist and wearing a long black dress sat beside the bed, smiling.

"This trial will bring up the challenger's deepest and most unresolved past. If he could forget it so easily, he wouldn't appear here."

"Then I have passed the test now."

"Well. If you fail, your sealed future memories will not appear—congratulations."

Echidna tilted her head and explained to Li Lin: "In my original memory, you will smash the hairpin with one punch at the end, right. This is the 'knot'. Everyone who fails the challenge will watch You lost control when you reached the 'knot' in your memory, but you didn't. Instead, you accepted it too quickly."

"……yes."

"Can I guess why?"

"Whatever." Li Lin said, turning his head to look at her, "But I want to ask a question first. You have read the memory just now, right. Do you have any feelings about this 'technical world'?"

Indeed, compared to the different world from Zero.Li Lin's original world is undoubtedly subversive and completely different.If Echidna was not curious about the "world" itself, there would only be one answer.

"Thoughts, there will be. But most of them were published when I saw them for the first time."

The answer is that she has seen the modern world before.

"...It seems that if I want to ask you where you came from, or whose memory you know from, you won't tell me."

Echidna blinked, "Yes. Can I continue to guess?"

"what ever."

"Hmm..." Echidna put her finger on her lips, looked sideways out of the window, and said what she wanted to say: "Your parents passed away in an accident very early, and you have no contact with other relatives. .The girl named 'Bai Xiahua' lived with you in an orphanage for a period of time... The original ending was that you were going to smash the hairpin... It's already obvious."

"what?"

"You like that girl—no, it should be more 'dependent'."

"..."

"Even after so many years, you can still recognize her at the first sight. It's not dependence... After your parents passed away, you grew up in an orphanage. Since then, until you became an adult at the age of eighteen, She is the only person who has been kind to you. There is no other life-saving straw to grasp, so I can only hold on to her tightly."

Li Lin was silent.

"——But, she has already forgotten you." Echidna's face was full of sarcasm. Very tortured, right? Even though I know 'it's normal not to remember', I still can't control my emotions."

"'Unlike me, she was picked up by the kind of rich people. Naturally, she will receive an excellent education and know countless peers who are excellent in all aspects. In this case, it is normal to forget a little playmate in the worst years. But it's nothing.'...Is that what you said to yourself? But you still can't lie to your own heart, so you use 'smashing the hairpin' to force yourself to break with her from now on... Am I right?"

Li Lin didn't hide it and nodded.

"Correct."

Echidna was also a little surprised by his frankness, but she became even more curious, "Then I want to know what happened later, so that you...became so relieved about this matter."

"Can't you check your memory?"

"It's strange, I can only check your previous memories. I can see that you studied in Ridao for a year, and then returned to China, staying in the rented house every day without going out, spending it decadently. But suddenly one day later If it falls off, I can’t check the ones behind, and there is a force that I can’t reach to block it.” Echidna sighed, “It’s very distressing. I really want to know what happened that day.”

Hearing this, Li Lin immediately understood that Echidna could only call up his memories before time travel.And after time travelling, Echidna can't spy on the power of the goddess when it comes to it.

"No wonder..." Li Lin was silent for a moment and said, "You're right. After my parents left, she was the only one who treated me well. The others were either hypocritical, or they were doing it to satisfy their own "benevolence" ' And be nice to me. That's why I'm so... angry that she forgot about me."

Li Lin looked at the hairpin in his hand, "However, I don't feel anything now, only gratitude and relief. I am grateful for meeting her in my life, but we are two people in different worlds, and we are destined not to meet. Now I I just wish her a good life, because I no longer depend on her."

"If you can retrieve the memory behind me, you can understand..."

Many figures appeared in Li Lin's mind, Hystria, Ani, Ymir, Allen, Yui, and Kizmel.Elsa...he already has new reliance, new people who treat him well.

The paranoid Li Lin who clung to a life-saving straw has long since passed away, and now he has been reborn.For his past self, he just accepted it calmly, so he easily passed the first test.

"Do you know." Li Lin looked at Echidna and picked up the little hairpin, "If you can retrieve the memory behind me as a challenge level, I may fail. Because... the memory in the back , there are things that I can't let go of and can't let go of than this thing."
