My Endless Life

Li Qi actually didn't have much memory of his childhood.

Perhaps it was because the child's brain capacity was not enough, or it might be because those memories were not important to Li Qi before he awakened his memory.

In short, Li Qi had almost forgotten those memories.

But now when he heard Chris mention it, he miraculously recalled the things back then.

When he was just born, he acted recklessly based on his child's instincts. He was even lifted up by Geer once and accidentally urinated on his face.

When he grew up a little, his childish mentality came up.

Every day he went out clean, and then ran out dirty, with mud all over his body.

But every time Chris would patiently help him clean up the dirt on his body.

When he was a little older, at the age of seven or eight, because Chris and the others were always out and often didn't come home, he would get angry and make a mess of the house.

When he came back, Geer would lecture him angrily, and sometimes even spank him.

Chris was also very angry, but Chris didn't say anything too harsh to Li Qi, but told him earnestly that it was wrong to do so.

It was just that he was still young at that time, and Li Qi hadn't recovered his memories of his previous life, so of course he didn't understand what they were saying, and he just lost his temper.

Until...

They never came back after exploring the fog area.

I don't know if it was emotional stimulation or because of the last moment of his previous life, Li Qi's soul was strengthened, anyway, his memory awakened at that time.

He remembered everything, but he also forgot the "past".

At this time, his past as a child became an unimportant memory to him, placed in a place deep in his mind where no one reads.

And it was covered with dust.

If I hadn't met Chris today, I guess the dust on those memories would never be wiped off.

Then the dust will gradually accumulate and condense, and finally form an indestructible and insurmountable barrier, burying that memory forever.

Li Qi didn't know what his mood was at the moment.

He just felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing Chris talking about himself with great interest, Li Qi opened his mouth several times but didn't dare to tell the fact that he was their child.

There was no need for that.

After all, he was about to leave.

Maybe it would be a kind of happiness for her to feel that her child was living well outside.

"Alas, I don't know if Carol has taken good care of Li Qi... I really want to take a look, even if it's just a glance..."

At the end, Chris said quite melancholy.

Li Qi took a deep breath and said seemingly indifferently:

"Why think about these things? Anyway, we are trapped here and can't leave..."

"That's right, then we can only pray that little Li Qi eats well, studies well, and listens to Carol."

Chris said, and really put her hands together to pray.

Li Qi unconsciously put on a smile, but he quickly restrained it and stood up and said:

"You pray here, I'll go out for a walk."

"Do you want me to accompany you? I can call Geer, and we can go to the grass field at the edge of the village to play together, just as a spring outing."

"No need... By the way, won't your husband be jealous if you run to my place?"

Li Qi turned around and asked.

Chris waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Geer is not such a stingy person, and... well, I don't know why, I always feel that you are different from others."

"Hmm?"

"I think, if Li Qi grows up, he should be similar to you... tall, strong, and looks very beautiful... No, boys should be handsome..."

Chris said to herself, and then said to Li Qi: "Ger probably thinks so too, so he allowed me to come and accompany you."

In the final analysis, they still think that Li Qi is harmless to them, which is probably derived from the induction of blood.

But if it is a blood connection...

The blood connection between the descendants of the creator is very close. Logically speaking, Chris should be able to recognize that this is her child when she sees Li Qi for the first time.

But Chris did not react.

Li Qi has two guesses about this.

The first point is that Chris is fake.

The second point...

This entire End Village is fake!

Li Qi is leaving now to confirm his guess.

The few days with Chris and others have satisfied Li Qi's emotions, and the emotions that had become too emotional have gradually returned to calm.

Therefore, it is time to do business.

"... I'm leaving."

Saying goodbye to Chris, Li Qi prepared to go out.

Chris asked: "Will you come to my house for dinner tonight?"

"It depends... maybe..."

Maybe I won't come back.

Li Qi didn't finish his last words and walked away.

After enjoying a few days of peace, it's time to face the final boss.

...

Ronnie never thought that the manor he saw was just an appearance.

Under the manor, there was a "room" with a strange structure that he had never seen before!

The room was large and long, with huge jars placed on both sides. The jars were filled with liquid, and inside them were the Tanwu family in different clothes.

Some of them wore the badges of the fog explorers, which allowed Ronnie to recognize their level of fog explorers.

And this is where Ronnie was shocked and horrified!

Most of the people here are Mist-level fog explorers, and a few of them even wear the badges of Black Mist-level fog explorers!

Seeing this, Ronnie instantly understood the identities of these people.

They...are all fog explorers who entered the sea of ​​fog before!

"They are..."

Ronnie looked at No. 5, who was leading the way, and asked in shock.

Number 5 replied:

"Without the core, energy is needed to maintain the entire Ark ecosystem, and there is no one more suitable to be an energy source than these fog explorers."

"energy……?"

"Oh, I'm sorry you might not understand, um... use the word nourishment... you might be able to understand?"

Number 5 very 'considerately' changed the nouns in the words.

After hearing this, Ronnie was stunned for two seconds before he understood what he meant, and he suddenly became angry:

"You mean...you treat them all as food!! You guy-!"

Angry Ronnie rushed towards No. 5 on impulse.

He wanted to grab No. 5 by the collar and teach him a lesson.

But he didn't expect that when he touched No. 5, he passed directly through No. 5's body.

"I am just a projection of the Ark system, I have no entity..."

No. 5 said to Ronnie with a speechless expression.

He is the artificial intelligence of Ark. He appears here because the projection system of Ark itself has no entity at all.

But having said that, he has the authority to control all functions in the Ark.

Including but not limited to 'space jump', 'gravity change', 'air production and circulation'...

You can even fight the enemy in another way by controlling certain parts inside the Ark.

Emma was bound by him in this way.

"you--!!"

Ronnie stared at No. 5 with fierce eyes.

But he was just helpless and furious.

After all, he has no means to affect No. 5 now, at least until the hidden intelligence in the chest crystal wakes up, he has no means to affect No. 5 in front of him.

Number 5 waited patiently for Ronnie. After waiting for a while, seeing Ronnie calm down a little, he said to Ronnie:

"I have read the history of mankind and probably know why you are so angry, but I want to ask you a question."

He came to Ronnie, pointed to the fog explorers who were being used as ‘batteries’, and said:

"If I said that this is the only way for humanity to continue, would you still be so angry?"

"…Nonsense!!"

Ronnie subconsciously retorted.

The words of No. 5 reminded him of the Light Chasing Society. The people of the Light Chasing Society always talked about slogans such as the continuation of mankind, but what they did in the end was different from what they shouted. The things are not the same at all!

And so far, he has not seen that the Light Chasing Society has really found a way to continue humanity!

Everything is just an excuse!

Yes, No. 5 is the same as Chasing the Light!

"...The 'Ark' that has lost its core and stayed in the sea of ​​fog will gradually lose its self-circulating ecosystem over a long period of time. Once the self-circulating system is lost, it will be almost impossible to build it again. It's impossible.

"The ecosystem is also related to whether humans can survive in the universe after leaving this world, so... I have no choice but to turn some people with potential and talent into the 'core' that provides energy sources.

"Between sacrificing part of humanity and giving up all humanity, I chose the former... My duty tells me that my choice is not a mistake."

Number 5 said calmly.

"I don't even understand what you are saying! What should I do to get the teacher back, so that you can let Emma go? Let these people go! Just tell me this!!"

"Simple."

Number Five pointed to the crystal on Ronnie's chest: "Give it to me."

"..."

Holding the crystal in his right hand, Ronnie hesitated for a moment, but soon he asked:

"What am I going to do?!"

No. 5 has no body, and even if Ronnie gives him the crystal, he can't catch it.

Number 5 took back his hand and signaled to Ronnie:

"Just follow me."

After saying that, No. 5 walked deeper into the passage.

Walking through the long metal passage, Ronnie followed No. 5 to a large room.

The room was huge, probably bigger than the orphanage where Ronnie once lived in terms of floor space.

It's the kind that includes the courtyard outside.

But in this empty room, there was only one thing.

It was a white energy cylinder located in the center of the room, connected to the ceiling above and the ground below.

The interior of the cylinder is filled with white light, and occasionally arcs flash through.

In front of the white column, there was a sloping platform. Number 5 was standing next to the platform, pointing to a groove in the center of the platform, and said to Ronnie:

"Put your relics here."

"Just put it on...?"

"Yes."

Number Five nodded and stared at Ronnie expressionlessly.

Ronnie held the crystal tightly and was about to take action when he suddenly heard the voice of his teacher Li Qi.

"Then what?"

"teacher?!"

Ronnie turned around in surprise and saw that Li Qi had come into the room at some point and stood behind him. He looked directly at No. 5 and asked softly:

"Then, what are you going to do with Ronnie?"

As soon as these words came out, Ronnie's pupils instantly dilated and he turned his head sharply to look at No. 5.

This guy... is hiding something from him!
