Chapter 758 Lost Memories
Pushing open the rough door, it was as if the thick fog had been dispersed, my pupils were beating, and a ray of light shone in my eyes.
The moonlight slid down the tip of her hair like water. In a cold and lonely room, a girl sat alone at the window.
She was facing me sideways, and her earthly aura was incompatible with the entire reincarnation.
The door opened, she heard a noise, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked back.
Her appearance is not outstanding, but she possesses a kind of classical beauty unique to the East, as clear as dew and as clear as a still pond.
Unlike all the women I have seen, her beauty is not the kind that is aggressive and will immediately occupy all your eyes. It is as dazzling as a diamond. But like jade, gentle and strong, it is difficult to find such a girl in the materialistic modern society.
"Junsheng?" She was a little surprised when she saw me coming in. Her voice was like beads falling on a jade plate, crisp but not annoying.
I looked at her face and stared for a long time. The old woman seemed to have forgotten everything in the world, and I was not sure whether the girl in front of me was the one I was looking for.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the girl smiled and said, "You can't sleep either?"
She never showed any anxiety or uneasiness from beginning to end, but her eyes contained a complex emotion that could not be concealed.
Looking at the girl in front of me, I couldn't take out the cloth strip from my pocket no matter what. I clenched my fingers and then slowly loosened them. I took a deep breath and my eyes became firm.
Turning around and closing the door, I walked over to the girl and lowered my voice: "Tonight, you are leaving Longchang with me."
The tone was low, but there was no doubt that the girl probably didn't expect that her younger brother who always needed to be taken care of could suddenly become so strong. She didn't speak for a while, and after a long time she put her hand on my shoulder: "Is it them? What did I say to you?"
My fingers holding the strip of cloth suddenly tightened. This girl was much smarter than I thought. As soon as I opened my mouth, she almost understood what I meant.
"I am the chosen one, right?" Faced with the cruel fate that was about to come, the girl didn't take it seriously. She took away the bamboo basket on her lap, put the needlework and satin aside, stood up and pinched my face: "This day has finally come."
"You come with me tonight, let's get out of here." I pushed the girl's hand away, and when I touched her skin, I actually felt a rare warmth. Her body was not completely cold like a dead person. , and still maintains a certain temperature!
The girl blinked her bright eyes and shook her head stubbornly.
"Why?" In my opinion, even if you die on the border and are blasted to pieces by artillery fire, it is much better than becoming food for others to eat.
"The war situation is changing rapidly. In the past few days, artillery fire has been raging and the fighting has been fierce. It is estimated that the blockade outside will be lifted soon. We have survived in Longchang for so many years, aren't we just waiting for this moment?"
"Tomorrow you will be eaten, you will die! Why are you thinking about this?!" Even if the war situation changes, opening the blockade on the border cannot be done in a day or two.
"Yeah, I'm about to be eaten." The girl raised her arm that I pushed away and gently held my cheek: "But you are different..."
No one spoke in the room, but I could hear her shallow breathing.
"What's the difference? After you are eaten, it will be my turn next. Staying in Longchang is just waiting for death." I pushed her hand away again: "Only by escaping from here can you have a chance of survival, no matter what What do you say, you must come with me tonight.”
The girl was not annoyed after being pushed away twice in a row. Her character was like a gurgling stream, making people unable to get angry. She also took everything lightly and never got angry.
The bright smile could not hide the complexity in her eyes. I knew that the girl had countless things to say to Jun Sheng, but she didn’t know where to start. She looked at me quietly, as if she was preparing to put this face into her mouth. Engraved in mind.
"Since half a year ago, there have been fewer and fewer children in the Red Mansion. Do you know why?" The girl did not answer my words. Instead, she mentioned a seemingly unrelated matter.
"The war is chaotic, there is not enough food, no warmth, and the children are weak. It is normal that there are fewer and fewer."
"You are wrong." The girl shook her head: "We are just food in their eyes. There is no order and no morality. Only the strongest people can survive here."
She looked at me, with that complicated look in her eyes. It was only now that I slowly understood: "Our lives are not in our own hands. The reason why we haven't been killed yet is just because they treat us as captive livestock." , will be slaughtered when necessary.”
The girl saw even more thoroughly than I did, which was an incredible thing for her at that age.
"Everyone in this building lives like an animal, or in other words, everyone is a domestic animal waiting to be slaughtered. No one can escape. It has been doomed since the first piece of 'meat' was eaten. Yes." She paused for a moment, and her voice changed: "No one will allow captive livestock to escape. There are guards all around this building. If we leave without authorization, you and I will be eaten if we are caught. "
If you stay here, you will be waiting for death. If you escape, there is only a 1% chance of survival. The girl is not willing to drag Junsheng into trouble just for her 1% chance of survival.
In her heart, it can even be said that everyone living in Longchang still retains a trace of luck - the war may end "tomorrow".
This should be what the old woman really thought at the time. Now that she has lost her memory, she naturally tells everything.
Thinking of this, I didn't rush to persuade her, but realized another problem.
After seeing the two "pigs" just now, I discovered that the Longchang Apartment in the Animal Lane seemed to be repeating that horrific experience. After the old lady and the tenant of the red building came back, it was like throwing a pebble into a deep pool, causing a few ripples, but they soon returned to calm. Their appearance did not disturb the reincarnation side. Pig Everything in the cage apartment is still going according to the original script.
That group of people had been planning for so many years. The fundamental purpose of returning to the animal realm was to reincarnate, but they didn't seem to make much noise after they came back.
I secretly glanced at the girl. If this child was the old woman, as a key figure, she was not taken away by obsession, and there was no obsession around her to guard her. This was so unreasonable.
"Unless the obsession is the same as that of the old grandma, after returning to the animal realm, the memory is temporarily sealed and I can't remember anything..." Thinking of this, a flash of lightning flashed in my mind: "Jun Sheng appears in the Red Mansion every night and leaves during the day , and his memory can only stay for one night. Could the reason for this be related to reincarnation? If you want to enter and exit reincarnation, your memory will definitely be sealed?"
"No wonder Junsheng had to combine the hydrangea on both sides of the reincarnation into one before entering the bronze mirror and absorb my will. He has been in and out of reincarnation so many times, he must know that as long as he enters that door, he will forget everything! He is afraid He forgot about saving the old grandma, so he was willing to use his body and memory as a boat to carry my mind across reincarnation. He forgot everything again, but I retained my memory."
He knew clearly that he would forget everything every time he entered and exited the bronze mirror, but he still entered that mirror every day and forgot the same thing over and over again. Perhaps only this kind of emotion could transcend reincarnation and be immortal in time.
Thinking of this, I feel more sympathy for this little guy. I have lost my memory and can understand this feeling very well. I have experienced it but cannot remember it. It feels like my whole life has been torn apart.
"Jun Sheng?"
The girl's voice came to my ears. I looked at her slightly worried eyes and stretched out my hands to press on her shoulders: "I will definitely take you away."
"What happened to you all of a sudden? I feel that you are a little unusual today. You must not do anything stupid."
The girl held her hand, and the warmth in her palm was unique in this world.
She may be the only person on this side of reincarnation whose yang energy has not been cut off.
I gently pulled out my hand and said nothing, but I was thinking in my heart: "All people who enter reincarnation will have their memories sealed, and the same goes for the tenants of the Red Mansion. However, they have been plotting this for decades, and they must have back-ups. The corpse of that pig should be the key. Sooner or later, these demons will awaken their memories, and by then the situation will completely deteriorate."
Obsession originally originated from Longchang. If they recall everything, they will probably drive the entire "pig" in Longchang to arrest them. Even if I have three trump cards, they probably won't be enough.
"This is the beast's path. It's impossible to escape towards the building. There is only one way back, and that is to wait until dawn and return to the earth at the moment when the bronze mirror is activated." The inability to escape limits the scope. I need to take the girl with me. Just avoid all the monsters before then.
"It's very difficult." I used Jun Sheng's remnant soul to act, and most of my skills were of no use, and the three things I brought had various problems.
I still don’t know what the mirror fragments are used for; when the black jade pig strangled my neck, there was no vision of a protector; the last underworld order is very powerful, but it can only be used for one year. Once, it's far from ready to use.
"It's a bit troublesome." I weighed the strengths of both parties. My only advantage was that I retained my memory and had the upper hand: "I must leave before the memory of the tenant in the red building wakes up and hide in a place where no one can find it." place, and besides, that place cannot be too far away from the bronze mirror on the top floor.”
It will be dawn in the world in another hour or two, and I must seize that moment. If I miss it, not to mention the old lady, even my own will will be trapped here.
Having made up my mind, I no longer hesitated and grabbed the girl's wrist without giving her a chance to refuse: "Follow me!"
