Chapter 55: Memories

Pharaoh Street,. //

Hong Lang and the others stood in front of the ancient building and stared blankly, with strange expressions on their faces at the same time.

Wen Rou widened her moving eyes: "The library? You let us come to the library?"

Shen Yi has already gone ahead of everyone: "Los Angeles Central Library, one of the three largest national libraries in the United States, is also the oldest public building in Los Angeles. It was built in 1926. There was a fire in 1980, and it was reborn six years later. , reopened with twice the size. When I was on earth, I came here once and liked the atmosphere here, but unfortunately I never came back after that. I didn’t expect to have the opportunity to revisit the old place today.”

"But..." A Kai pointed at the library and stammered for a long time before saying, "But is this place suitable for hiding?"

"Why isn't it suitable?" Shen Yi asked back: "Los Angeles is so big, where is hiding? Whether Hercules can find us depends not on our ability to hide, but on their ability to track. Since where to hide It's all the same, why not find a place you like?"

Speaking of this, Shen Yi smiled: "The battle has been going on for a long time, and the spirit has been in a state of tension for a long time. Find a quiet place to sit, drink a cup of tea, read a book, refresh your mind, and relieve your tension. Isn't it good? ?"

The fat man stuck out his tongue: "I thought you would give a location that the enemy would never think of killing... For example, the most dangerous place is the safest place."

Shen Yi curled his mouth: "Why would you believe in that kind of thing? You can't hide anywhere in Nuo Da, you have to hide under the noses of the enemy to feel safe? It's enough to listen to this kind of nonsense as a joke. You don’t know how to die when you become the truth. Remember next time, the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, it’s nonsense! You can never expect me to be neighbors with Hercules, and then pray that his eyes will go out when he goes out It won't lean sideways!"

Hong Lang suddenly realized, pointing at Shen Yi: "Because it's the same wherever you hide, so you've come here to enjoy yourself by pretending to be public servants?"

Shen Yi laughed: "Longqiu still understands me."

Gentle said: "If that's the case, then let's go. It's been a long time since I entered the city and I haven't calmed down to read a book. By the way, Shen Yi, since you have been here once, then lead the way."

The Los Angeles Central Library has four floors above and below ground. Each floor has different book classifications and reading rooms. The reading rooms are not all long tables, but more small seats like coffee shops. After arriving at the book, you can find a place you like to sit down, order a cup of coffee, and then sit there quietly to spend the whole afternoon.

Shen Yi chose to come here,

One reason is that there are not many people here, even if there are people, most of them pay attention to the book itself, and rarely pay attention to other people. /Very literary/Secondly, this is a relatively quiet environment. The quiet environment is good for them to discover the situation outside at the first time, and it can also keep people like Hong Lang calm.

The big battle is coming, and peace of mind will help them fight at their best.

After entering the library, everyone spread out to choose some books they like, of course, most of them are novels to pass the time.

Shen Yi walked alone on the second floor of the library.

He didn't look for the book he wanted to read, but strolled in the library, walking casually, looking around, as if he was looking for something.

Until his eyes fell on the young blonde, a smile finally appeared on his face.

The blond woman was looking down at a book, and there happened to be an empty seat opposite the coffee table. Shen Yi took the book casually and walked over, and sat down in the empty seat.

He looked down at the books in his hand, and at the same time said something casually: "If I remember correctly, this is a reading room for construction machinery rather than art, why did I see a man holding a Norman The girl from the Rockwell picture book is sitting here?"

The blonde girl in front of her slightly raised her head to look at Shen Yi, she said: "There are fewer people here, and it's quieter."

Shen Yi looked at the blonde girl: "So I'm bothering you?"

The blonde girl said casually: "It depends on who they are, some people are not welcome, and some people can enjoy special treatment."

"Hopefully I'm the latter."

The girl looked up at Shen Yi again, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes: "It's not a coincidence that you're sitting here, is it?"

Shen Yi shrugged: "There are enough vacancies here, but when there is a choice, sitting in front of a beautiful girl is always more pleasing to the eye."

"It seems that you are not here to read the book." The girl snorted, stood up and sent the album back, and when she pulled out another album, she was already sitting on the other side.

Shen Yi sat on the seat, but his eyes followed the girl's figure, his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

There was a crisp sound of high heels behind her.

A gentle voice sounded: "She doesn't seem to welcome you?"

"It's not surprising, she has this kind of personality, she is always wary of strangers, but if you get to know her well, you will find that she is actually a very easy-going girl, very warm and gentle." Shen Yi answered casually.

"From your tone, it seems that you know her." Rou Rou walked around Shen Yi, and sat down where the blonde girl was sitting before.

"Yes." Shen Yi replied: "Do you still remember that I said that I have been here before?"

Rou Rou looked back at the blonde girl, and she understood a little: "Is she a real existence on Earth? Did you know her before you entered the city?"

"Her name is Mia." Shen Yi replied casually: "Mia Korezi is a mixed American and Russian. Two years before I came to the city, I came to Los Angeles on a business trip, and it happened that the client was troublesome at that time. , it will take some time to solve, so when I am free, I go to the nearby Central Library. It was then that I met her. Mia is the daughter of the library director, so she will be in the library every day She grew up here and developed the habit of reading books every day. During that time, I came here every day, so I gradually got to know her."

"But now she doesn't know you."

"It's not surprising, after all, she is not the real Mia, but a copy of the city." Shen Yi drank a cup of coffee.

"I know you came here for a reason." Gentle smiled. She knew that the relationship between Shen Yi and Mia might not be as simple as he said, but a smart woman would never chase after her man's past, and Shen Yi was obviously not the kind who would fall for a copy lover. A man who delays business.

Sure enough, Shen Yi nodded: "I just want to see my old friend."

"what's the result?"

"...you see, it's not welcome."

Shen Yi looked at the blonde girl in the distance, lowered his head and smiled: "When I met Mia, she was only eighteen years old, and now she has grown up."

"You mean, the world created by the city is actually based on the current situation of the earth as a template. Every time it is created, it simply removes some content related to missions and adventurers?"

"Yes." Shen Yi replied: "When I met her, she was at the most desperate moment in her life. Her mother passed away, she failed to enter the Polytechnic University, and she broke up with her first boyfriend because of her Her boyfriend was seduced by a cheerleader, and she was in the most disappointing and decadent period of her life, and she even wanted to commit suicide at one point."

Listen gently and quietly.

Shen Yi continued: "I met her when she was most frustrated in her life. I told her my experience and let her know that in her life, the hardships she went through were nothing at all...I have accompanied her for a long time. For about half a month, during that time we met in the library every day, then went out for a walk together and became good friends."

"Maybe it's not just a good friend." Rourou finally couldn't help but say something.

Shen Yi pretended not to hear, and continued: "She came out of the shadow of life, and I went back to China because of work. But we kept in touch after that, until I entered the city, and then with another way to get here."

"Are you disappointed?"

Shen Yi shook his head: "Some, but it's not important. The important thing is how the current Mia spent that dark time after she lost her memory of me."

Gentle froze: "What did you say?"

Shen Yi said leisurely: "The background of the city is based on the earth, and at the same time erase the memories of everyone related to missions and adventurers, but there is mutual influence between people, and some influences can never be erased... …Like your parents, like your love.”

He looked at the blonde in the distance, and sighed leisurely: "Tell me, if I try to wake up her sleeping memory, will she become another system moth?"

Gentle snorted softly: "You must have left an indelible mark on her...or eliminated a certain mark, but don't try to use this as an excuse to relive old dreams. Also, the Supreme Council will not like you to do this."

"I didn't intend to do it. I said I was only here to see old friends."

"But I always feel that it is not that simple."

Shen Yi smiled: "I really didn't think that way. A few days before I entered the city, I received an email from Mia. She told me that she was married and she was pregnant. Do you think I will find What does the mother of a child do?"

Gentle and stunned, she looked at the blonde girl and blurted out: "Then she doesn't look like a mother."

Shen Yi smiled: "It really doesn't look like it."

Ding,.

The bloody emblem sounded a reminder:

"The duration of the non-war agreement ends."

The time has finally come for the non-war agreement signed with Hercules and the others.

Shen Yi didn't seem to be worried at all about Hercules' possible pursuit, but just stared at Mia Korezi in the distance, as if his mind traveled through time and space, and returned to the beautiful memory of the former acquaintance.

For one thing, he lied.

That is, he has not only been to Los Angeles once, but several times.

And before he returned to China from Germany to carry out his revenge plan, he visited Los Angeles once.

That was the last time he saw Mia.

Mia is not married.
