Oracle [Transmigration Book]

The car was parked under a dilapidated residential building, the surroundings were secluded, and no pedestrians could be seen on the road.Song Si stood still at the entrance of the corridor, looked up at the dark roof, took a deep breath in the twilight, and moved his lips silently.

Chu Mingyi said, "Go home, Xiao Si."

Song Si stepped into the corridor, there was no elevator, so he could only climb up floor by floor.Wu Jin followed behind him in the same oppressive silence, only the sound of footsteps staggered one after the other.

Every time he goes up one floor, the time on Song Si peels off one layer. When he reaches the roof, he already looks like a young man. Compared to when he was in the orphanage, he has grown a lot taller. Neat and tidy, but the facial features have not fully grown, still looks like a little girl.

The roof has been abandoned for a long time, and the dried moss looks like cracked fish scales, crunching underfoot.A large tank for water storage stands in the center, lonely and desolate.Song Si walked to the water tank, which was too high for his current height, so high that he could only see the edge by looking up.

This is the forbidden area of ​​the world, the anchor point of time, the key to the sea of ​​double consciousness, and Song Si's only compass.

When he was trapped in Liu Cenning's sea of ​​consciousness, he saw himself lying beside the tank through Chu Mingyi's eyes in the chaotic time, and finally remembered who he was and what day he rescued him. Live a life that matters.And Chu Mingyi also chose this place as the anchor point with him, and found his way home from the lost sea of ​​consciousness many times.

They never told each other, this is a unique tacit romance.

There is nothing in the vat of this world.Song Si knew it well, but he still moved the stone from the other side of the roof as he did many years ago.His body was not yet fully developed, and the knee-high stones exceeded his physical limit. He had to stop and sweat profusely for a while after moving a few steps.

Wu Jin knew that he was still trying to find his way home, but his years of habit made him want to step forward to help, but he was stopped in place after just two steps.

"Teacher," Wu Jin said, "stay here."

Song Si didn't speak, and carried the stone with difficulty alone, his hands were shaking all the time when he moved to the water tank.Chu Mingyi followed behind him step by step, trying to wipe the sweat off his face through an invisible barrier, Song Si seemed to be aware of it, stretched out his hand to wipe off the sweat, and began to climb up by stepping on the stone.

Chu Mingyi looked gentle: "Go, I'll wait for you inside."

The inaudible voice fell to the ground, and Chu Mingyi's figure gradually faded away from Wu Jin's sea of ​​consciousness.Song Si felt that the power affecting him disappeared, without hesitation, he supported the rim of the tank with both hands, closed his eyes and began to construct a world within a world——

"Song Si, are you going to kill everyone here?"

Song Si's mind was flustered for a second, and the embryonic form immediately fell apart.He opened his eyes and looked at Wu Jin, who was also looking at him with calm and persistent eyes, determinedly waiting for an answer.

Song Si said: "Don't be afraid of death, you will wake up in another world."

"For us, this is no different from death," Wu Jin said, "We have already developed a new life, even if you say that the whole world is fake, but our joys, sorrows and joys here are all real, friends, Family and everything you love is real, no one wants to choose another ghostly 'home', this is our home."

Song Si was silent.

"Teacher..." Wu Jin called him in a low voice.

Song Si looked at his strange yet familiar face in a daze, and heard him call him teacher for 15 years, and he even almost forgot what he called him in the first place.The mind is a little messy, which is not a good sign. Entering the sea of ​​double consciousness requires concentration and concentration without being distracted.

"You're right." Song Si didn't refute, he accepted all accusations frankly, "True and fake are based on subjective relative concepts, my choice is undoubtedly full of despicable selfishness. As compensation, I will erase everyone memories, they'll wake up thinking they've just had a good night's sleep—"

Wu Jin's expression changed.

"—Of course, except you." Song Si said, "Wu Jin, I have always treated you as my family in this world. I hope our 15 years of living together day and night can bring some changes to you."

Wu Jin looked at him, a little dazed.

Then he smiled, his eyes complicated, and he seemed relieved: "What about you? Has it changed you?"

"Yes," Song Si admitted, "We will never forget this memory."

Wu Jin sighed in a low voice, lowered his eyes to look at the ground, seemed to be in a trance.Even though he is just an ordinary young man in this life, he has unknowingly grown stubborn, tenacious, and never knows how to accept it for 20 years.

What he wants is not just a memory, but what he wants to grasp tightly at the moment.There was sadness in his voice: "Teacher, everything you do is meaningless."

Meaning, Song Si couldn't help laughing at himself when he heard the word.Wu Jinzai continued: "Creating this place to save them, and then erasing them from here along with their memories, we are just doing the same thing in a different world, the difference is that I am in the name of destruction, and you are in the name of salvation. "

Well said, Song Si thought, if the real Wu Jin were here, he would probably say the same thing as him.Song Si was almost moved by his persuasion, and his heart felt dull. Wu Jin said again: "I also want to be a savior. I don't want to be so noble. I want to save the world. I just want to save the world that lives in front of me. You. Teacher, stay here, I will accompany you, and do better than the 'me' and 'him' in that world."

Wu Jin's eyes flashed with stubbornness that refused to accept his fate. Song Si climbed down from the rock, walked up to Wu Jin, and stretched out his hand to tidy up his somewhat messy collar. He was still as calm and gentle as the past 15 years.In this world, he is always willing to be his teacher and family, and give him tolerance without hatred. If they return to reality, maybe they will never have the opportunity to confess to each other so peacefully.

"Xiao Jin, I have never been a noble person. My dream is to be an ordinary clerk, to eat ice cream that I like every day, and to live an ordinary life with people I care about. 15 years ago... It was not for saving the world, but just for redemption , this time, no matter what you say, I will make the most selfish choice."

"If you find it unacceptable, then hate me," Song Si said, "You can do it, we have such a relationship."

Wu Jin opened his eyes wide, stared at him firmly, and squeezed out a voice between his teeth: "No."

Song Si, who looked like a teenager, patted him on the back, gave him a hug, then stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear: "Only if I obliterate this world and bring everyone back to reality, the real you will be revealed." No guilt. Do you understand?"

Wu Jin didn't make a sound for a long time, and the body with his arms around Song Si began to tremble slightly.Song Si touched the hair on the back of his head, left his embrace, walked back to the water tank, and climbed up the stone covered with dry moss.

"I regret it," Wu Jin said hoarsely, "you let me get everything I never had, and now you push me back to reality. These 15 years... turned out to be imprisonment and punishment."

"Going back to the real world you said, I will definitely regret it. Song Si, is this your expectation?"

Song Si sighed silently, he closed his eyes...

……

……

The gray clouds cleared completely, and birds flew across the clear blue sky above the water tank.

The sound gradually faded away with the birds, and the surroundings became very quiet, only the cool wind passing through the ears.

Song Si is like a ray of lonely soul that has just been separated from the body. Gradually, he can't see Wu Jin, and he can't see himself. Where is it, where did it come from, and also forgot the purpose of self-exile——

Get lost first, then go home.He let himself get lost in a sea of ​​double consciousness.

The body seems to be still in this world, or it seems to have gone to a different world without coordinates.There are still cracked roofs, stones and water tanks around, but they are like amber frozen in time, so still that there is no life.Song Si stood on the stone, raised his head blankly, and had his first thought in a blank space:

who am I?

Immediately afterwards, a second thought followed.

Why do I have such doubts?

He looked around blankly, then bowed his head in thought.The concept of "I" was planted in the wasteland-like brain, and more and more messy thoughts slowly sprouted from this seed. "Who am I" is a kind of identity cognition, "identity" is an objective birth status information, and "cognition" is the processing and absorption of information by the brain...Identity is objective, cognition is subjective, one comes from the outside, and the other comes from internal……

Where can it be external?

Is it inside this...round thing in front of you?

Song Si's eyes fell on the water tank. This thing has a certain depth, is hollow, and feels very hard. It may be used to store something, but the surface is dirty, and it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

In thinking, one word affects another word, and the brain becomes a web-spinning spider, which begins to grow rapidly, absorbing concepts from nowhere.Round, hollow, stored, abandoned—yes, it's supposed to be a waste tank.

The water tank was his first objective perception of the world.

Me and the water tank, inside and outside, subjective and objective... Song Si bit his lip with his teeth, and tasted the pain and the smell of blood like rust.Blood, an important substance, flows in...human beings.Yes, I am human.

As soon as the word human was coined, countless concepts rushed into his brain like a well, and the huge amount of information made him fall into a daze for several minutes.He saw crying babies, toddlers, orphanages, swings, ice cream... but he didn't know whose life it was, nor did he have any information about the water tank in front of him.Song Si hesitated, and decided to take a look for himself, so he stepped on the stone and began to climb up.

The stone is not high, and the water tank is not high, but no matter what, they can't climb to the top. The mouth of the tank is like a mirage that is close at hand. Whether you stand on tiptoe or jump, you still can't touch the edge.Song Si was sweating, and he slapped anxiously, the water tank made a dull sound, which made his brain throbbing with pain.

He thought of retreating at an inopportune time. He is so obsessed with the water tank. Perhaps it is the trap of this world, or the deception of some "something" at a higher level, luring him to release some kind of monster that will destroy the world. .Song Si stared at the untouchable top of the water tank, panting, jumped off the stone, ran to the edge of the roof, lay down on the fence and looked down, trying to see what the world was like here.

The fog outside the roof was thick, and darkness surged through it, and nothing could be seen.Song Si tried to get closer, and countless evil whispers suddenly poured into his ears. In an instant, his brain went blank, and the deepest fear in his bones welled up in his head. Escape from this rooftop as far as possible.

Running so fast, he didn't even have time to observe, and had already rushed into the corridor.

Darkness enveloped him from all directions, engulfing him in an instant.

Song Si paused, his chest rose and fell violently, but he didn't dare to breathe too loudly.The darkness is thick, as if there is something solid, sticking tightly to his skin, with a warm touch, like a huge tongue slowly licking him.

Song Si's hairs stood up all over his body, and he tried to back up, but he no longer knew where the front and back were.There is a voice in the darkness that seems to be crying and laughing, from far to near, with inaudible whispers.He was surrounded by whispers, his headache was about to explode, and all the negative emotions began to brew and explode.

Even though there was nothing in front of him, he inexplicably "saw" many pairs of eyes and lips, some of which even gave him a sense of familiarity.Eyes looked at him mockingly, lips kept opening and closing, and gradually changed from whispering to raving, Song Si wanted to escape in fear, but his legs were firmly nailed in place, letting the blood boil in his body, and his reason gradually lost control——

When the negative emotions accumulated to the critical point, he began to perceive the world, or in other words, the world became the plasticine in his hands. What he saw, the world also changed step by step.Fear, anxiety, anger, sadness... are all compressed in the corridor like a black hole, and they will explode into fireworks with themselves in almost a second.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

What's the sound?

Is it your own heartbeat?

Song Si opened his blood-red eyes, tried hard to find a trace of clarity, followed the direction of the voice almost instinctively, and stumbled out.

"Boom...boom..."

Light and powerful, like a wooden fish knocked by a monk, every time it hit Song Si's heart, knocking away his lost consciousness, knocking away the dark emotions that were out of control in the deepest part of his heart, and pulling him back to the original anchor point.

What's wrong with me?

The blood in Song Si's eyes gradually faded, his face was dazed, and he wanted to look around the darkness again, but the voice seemed to tell him to concentrate and concentrate, and he felt a little expectation and excitement for no reason, ignored those whispers, and quickened his pace.

Until one foot steps out of the darkness and the other into the sun-drenched roof.

He is back again.

The roof is still dilapidated, unaffected by the world, like a paradise independent here.Song Si's heart suddenly calmed down, reason and calm returned, and his eyes turned to the water tank.

The sound came from the water tank.

This time, without hesitation, he strode towards the water tank.Vaguely, he intuited that he had forgotten a very, very important thing, something so important that he would have to remember it even if the world was destroyed and his self was wiped out.When I put my hand on the water tank, the thought was stronger than ever.

Even if it's a monster inside, he thought, I'll crawl in.

He climbed up the stone and tiptoed to reach the edge of the water tank that he could never reach.Strangely, this time he grasped the edge all of a sudden, leaned his body against the water tank, and his eyes easily fell into the tank.

There was a person lying on the bottom of the tank, looking dying, knocking on the wall of the tank, boom...boom...

Song Si's breathing stopped.

Countless images flooded into his brain, and he remembered them all. All the memories, about the water tank, about the world, about himself, but he didn't even have time to digest them. His body and soul began to float again, and the world also began to float.

He was ascending, his eyes still fell on the bottom of the water tank, the person in the water tank turned over and raised his head, those familiar eyes were staring at him, with a faint smile inside——

The author has something to say:

My procrastination is really getting worse.
