This endless world

——When is the most embarrassing moment for a person?

Just think about it, probably all the secrets in your heart have been exposed by others, and the most secret places in your heart have been completely taken out by others and put into broad daylight for analysis. From then on, there is no more privacy that belongs to "self". It can be said.

——And when is the most terrifying moment for a person?

Probably, I learned that everything I say, do, and do is actually controlled by others. In fact, they are all "scripts" written in the hands of others. And he was like a prisoner in a cage... no, like a virtual character in a computer.

Thoughts, actions, words, and feelings are all just playthings in the hands of others. Together with their own existence, they are all created by others, characters in games or novels.

However, Zheng Zha is not like that.

Although when Dr. Manhattan read the first sentence of the book, Zheng Zha understood that what was written in that book was his own life, a "story" that recorded everything about him. This man He still showed an unexpected calmness... It was as if he had already known that he was just a character in a novel.

"You don't seem surprised."

"There's nothing surprising, so what if I'm the protagonist of a novel?"

Facing Dr. Manhattan's words, Zheng Zha nodded: "Although my brain told me that this was the first time I heard this statement; my body, my feelings, and my heart told me Me, this is not a secret at all..."

"Although it's hard to imagine the specific details now, if I'm right, Yang Yun should have told me a long time ago."

It was obviously a question, but it was in an affirmative tone. When there were corresponding deviations in memory and feeling, Zheng Zha firmly believed in his sixth sense: "So, where did Yang Yun go... And my missing friends, they went Where?"

"All your companions, they are all in my world."

Following Dr. Manhattan's words, a picture instantly unfolded in front of Zheng Zha. It was Zhan Lan, Zhang Heng and others who woke up at the top of the building. They looked around in confusion to confirm whether they were hypnotized or mentally affected. Attack... But this time, not only the clock tower that Zheng Zha saw first when he woke up pointed to the normal time, but also the Lord God's watch on everyone's hands also showed normal information.

"Survive for twenty-four hours and return to the main god space."

This is the message Zheng Zha saw on Zhan Lan's Lord God watch. But when he glanced at his watch, he found that it was completely blank, not even a word was left on it. It seems that in this pure white space, even the power of the Lord God has completely lost its effect.

"What on earth did you do...?"

"Entrusted by others."

Dr. Manhattan answered Zheng Zha's question with four simple words, and at some point a shabby diary appeared in his hand, and then he sandwiched the diary into a thick book.

The next moment, as the pages of the book flipped, countless papers flew around and appeared in front of Zheng Zha. Every time Zheng Zha saw the content on a piece of paper, countless memories would naturally appear in his mind, which were his adventure experiences in various worlds since he entered the Lord God Space——

"I inserted Rorschach's diary into your original book, making it a part of your story, just like the world you once experienced."

Listening to Dr. Manhattan's explanation, Zheng Zha couldn't help but murmur to himself: "Can even this kind of thing be possible..."

"Yes, because quantum is everywhere."

Dr. Manhattan glanced at Zheng Zha with emotionless eyes and continued to talk about "Watchmen": "My story has come to an end for the time being. Just like Advian's plan, I am really not suitable to continue. Stay in that world.”

Obviously he was talking about his own past, but Dr. Manhattan calmly acted as if he was not talking about his own affairs, but about others who had nothing to do with him: "So, I left my own world and went to the Almighty The universe watches over the stories that have happened or are happening in many worlds, and for some reason, this multiverse came into my sight..."

"Where is Yang Yun? How is he doing now?"

Although he knew that what Dr. Manhattan was talking about now was a deep secret related to the entire multiverse, the majestic emotion that suddenly surged in his heart still prompted Zheng Zha to speak suddenly, interrupting Dr. Manhattan's words: "Yang Yun's situation Isn't it different from Zhan Lan and others? Why did he never enter this world from the beginning, and why do we all forget the memory of him? "

"Because according to normal historical development, Yang Yun should not have participated in the story of the 'Zhongzhou Team'."

Dr. Manhattan was not angry because of Zheng Zha's interruption. In fact, in Zheng Zha's view, it was still undecided whether this god-like blue man had the emotion of "anger". He just said what Zheng Zha half-understood as always: "And the existence of 'Yang Yun' is not a good thing for 'Zheng Zha', especially the original 'protagonist' Zheng Zha in this multiverse."

"What the hell are you talking about... I'm so fed up with the Riddler!"

Anxiety and restlessness were surging in Zheng Zha's heart. Although he himself didn't know why these emotions suddenly surged up, it seemed that something he didn't know was happening in a distant place, making it difficult for him to contain his anxiety. Emotion: "What does Yang Yun's existence have to do with me? What is the original 'protagonist'——"

"Don't you understand yet? This is a story started by you. In fact, this multiverse relies on you to be officially born."

Speaking of the ground-breaking words that made Zheng Zha's pupils suddenly shrink, Dr. Manhattan said calmly: "If you still can't understand, then listen to the story that has not been changed from the beginning and is also your own story. Here In the space I created, ‘time’ is the most indispensable thing.”

"...What story?"

"It's the story in which you are the 'sole protagonist'."

Under Zheng Zha's gaze, the book in Dr. Manhattan's hand changed and he opened it again——

"A story called "Infinite Horror"." (End of this chapter)
