I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1157 The Butterfly Effect
"Can changing these words change reality?"

Lu Luqi's heart was full of doubts at this moment, but the memories that emerged were so real that he stood there in a daze for a moment.

He relived this brand new memory again and again. Although it was a new memory, it was no different from a normal memory. It would fade with the passage of time and would be mixed with other hazy past memories, making it difficult for him to distinguish whether it was new or something he had already had.

The more carefully Rouqi recalled, the deeper this memory became, and it became mixed with his previous memories. When he was overwhelmed by happiness, a question emerged in Rouqi's mind:
"Why did I come to the Abyss?"

Revenge?
For whom is revenge?

He has a happy family and lives a harmonious life. Why would he abandon his family and fall into the abyss?
Coming into the dangerous abyss, he would be in danger of death. If he couldn't go back, how miserable would his family be?

His dear sister must be very sad, right?

"I don't think I should be in the abyss."

When this thought came to his mind, the words began to change again. Although Routerqi was still pressing the word bugs, their crawling had begun to be out of Routerqi's control...

If his sister were still alive, he would not have come to the abyss.

Although he was curious about the abyss, he would not enter it due to the constraints of his family and the loss of the motivation for revenge.

While he was changing reality, reality was also changing him.

People are made up of memories, and their specific behaviors are the choices made by the conscious entity constructed by memory in accordance with the ideas at the moment.

The option that conforms to the person's concept of "a happy family is the way to go" is not to enter the abyss, but to live well on the surface.

The word worm was wriggling, and after it constructed another reality that did not exist originally, reality also gave it a completely new feedback.

His body is disappearing...

Reality is sending him back to where he should be. He should be on the surface, happily eating with his family, and after dinner, going for a walk in the mall together, pushing a shopping cart in the mall while bickering with his sister.

This was his, the “correct” reality.

Rows of shelves appeared in front of Luqi's eyes, his sister's laughter rang in his ears, and his parents followed slowly behind him with happy smiles on their faces.

He doesn't have to do anything, reality will soon correct itself.

The router that reached the bottom of the abyss will disappear, and in its place will be a router immersed in happiness, who has never felt the pain of losing a loved one, has never lived in sorrow, and has never cried while holding the bottle cap left by his sister.

Lu Qi froze. He looked at his family "around him". This was a scene he dared not even think about in his dreams.

"It would be great if that were true..."

He widened his eyes. His sister's face became clearer and clearer in his memory. The world became more and more beautiful. The wrinkles on his parents' faces became fewer and fewer. They no longer shed tears all day because of his sister's passing. Even their gray hair disappeared, and their faces were full of rosy glow.

A feeling of happiness rushed to his head. Could just a small change allow him to live such a wonderful life?

No need to bear bitter hatred anymore, no need to struggle in pain anymore, no need to remember that sweet Coke anymore, you can taste it every day...

Lu Qi sighed, looked at his sister beside him, and asked:
"Want a Coke?"

The smiling sister was stunned for a moment and replied: "Why are you asking this suddenly? I'm not a child anymore... I won't drink it. I'll get fat if I drink it."

After hearing his sister's answer, Lu Luqi's face froze.

"What's wrong?" my sister asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I'm sorry." Lu Qi lowered his head and said softly.

"Why are you sorry?"

"I'm sorry." Lu Qi repeated again, and then pinched the still squirming word worm with his hand...

This was not the happiness he wanted.

……

"Lu Tingting saw a big rock falling from the sky..."

"She didn't react, her eyes went dark..."

……

It's an easy matter to change the words back to the correct context.

But Lu Luqi had exhausted all his strength. He lay on the ground in pain, his hand still pressing down the moving word worm.

The shelves in the mall were moving away from him, his parents' hair was growing white, the smiles on their faces were disappearing, a trace of hard-to-conceal sadness flashed in their eyes, and his sister's face was slowly blurring.

He no longer remembered what his sister looked like when she grew up. What stood there was just an empty figure, just a non-existent phantom.

"sorry."

Lu said to the virtual image with a trembling voice.

He killed this non-existent reality with his own hands, and also killed his grown-up sister.

"I have more important things to do."

"You can understand me, right?"

He spoke to the increasingly blurry shadow. No one could answer him. He could only ask and answer himself, confirming his choice.

"You must understand me. You have been obedient since you were a child..."

That beautiful world did not belong to him, and he could not take this happiness for granted.

"sorry."

Lu Qi pinched the word bug hard and vented his anger on the squirming words.

"Sorry……"

He kept repeating his apologies, his voice getting smaller and smaller, until he could no longer see those phantoms, the false beauty, until the world returned to normal and the memories that should not have existed in his mind completely disappeared.

The surroundings were still dark, word bugs were crawling on the ground, and the reality was still the same reality. Lu Qi's body was soaked with cold sweat, and his lips were still moving slightly, saying an apology to someone unknown.

He didn't hurt anyone, he just made reality return to its original track, why should he apologize?
The router itself can't figure it out...

After lying on the ground for a while, the guilt that was lingering in his heart slowly subsided, and Lu Qi's hands stopped shaking. He raised his head and looked further away.

Since the words here can change reality and cause a butterfly effect, there must be a better way to "modify" them.

"There are so many words here. I will definitely be able to find more comprehensive records. If I modify these records, maybe I can make the entire abyss 'disappear'!"

Even if we cannot make the abyss disappear, we can make the disaster disappear, or allow humans to predict the occurrence of the disaster in advance.

Thinking of this, Lu Qi began to grope on the ground covered with words again...

In the dimness, a lonely figure is crawling slowly, like a wild beast that has not yet fully evolved, searching for food on the ground with its claws. The glasses that represent wisdom are of no use at this moment. The rough sense of touch becomes the only way to perceive the world. The words that represent civilization slowly wriggle, plucking the strings of reality.
