Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

After Zhang Jie returned, he grasped all the changes in this world with a single mental scan and then seamlessly integrated into it.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he handled things with ease, and even the presence of Deep Blue seemed superfluous.

Zhang Jie skillfully opened his phone and found a restaurant that was both nearby and highly rated.

A delightful lunch for both host and guests.

Li Xiao, being perceptive, left first, leaving the time for the man and woman who had been separated for so long to reunite.

Li Xiao waved as the two people approached the mall.

As I turned around, a voice echoed in my heart.

"You altered her memories?"

Zhang Jie replied, "No, it must be a side effect of the safety rope; it blurred my memories before I died."

"We only have two days, how are you going to tell her?"

"We'll see when the time comes."

"At least, she's truly living in the real world, and it's safe enough here, isn't it!"

As his mind disconnected, Li Xiao sighed.

However, seeing the bustling streets around him, he quickly smiled again.

The shopping mall was bustling with people, but perhaps because it was Wednesday, there weren't many shoppers.

"Did you smoke again?"

Na'er sniffed and looked at the man beside her.

Zhang Jie was also very decisive. With an embarrassed smile, he took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter and threw them into the trash can next to him.

Seeing this, Na'er finally smiled with satisfaction.

"Ah Jie, I also met a little sister at the hospital, named Tuan Tuan, she's very cute."

Zhang Jie laughed when he heard this and said:

"Should we prepare a gift for her?"

"What do you think little girls like these days?"

"A bow? Or a hair clip?"

"Why don't we just take them both?"

Na'er looked at the person next to her in surprise.

"you've changed."

"You didn't have this high emotional intelligence before."

Zhang Jie burst into laughter: "Isn't this all thanks to you? You've taught me so well."

Hearing this, Na'er happily took Zhang Jie's arm.

Before long, the two entered a nicely decorated cosmetics store and began to select products.

After putting away the packaged gift box, Zhang Jie looked at the promotional poster beside him:
"Any movies you'd like to see?"

"Want to see a movie?"

Na'er nodded happily.

"Look, look, it's been so long since we went to the movies together."

Zhang Jie and Na'er were no different from any other ordinary couple in this shopping mall.

If there are any differences...

That probably means that everyone around Zhang Jie had a smile on their face.

Even some busy office workers who seemed to be walking at a fast pace subconsciously slowed down when they got closer.

Then he revealed a long-lost relaxed expression.

Moreover, this range is gradually expanding over time without anyone noticing.

It continued until it covered the entire city before stopping.

Li Xiao, in a corner of the city, seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky.

He muttered to himself, "Those with mental abilities are truly terrifying!"
-
The darkness was illuminated by the screen, and one by one, people stood up from their chairs and stretched their stiff bodies.

Na'er rubbed her eyes: "Is the movie over?"

Why didn't you call me?

Zhang Jie, who was holding popcorn and milk tea next to him, replied:
"I was just afraid of disturbing your sleep."

"And I also hope you can rest more."

Seeing his tired face, Zhang Jie asked with concern:

"Did you not get enough rest yesterday?"

You look a little tired.

Na'er looked at the last subtitle on the big screen and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"Maybe I was sleepy because I ate too much at lunch, but I just had a dream."

Zhang Jie took Na'er's hand and stood up, following the flow of people leaving the venue.

You asked casually, "Did you have a dream?"

So, am I in your dreams?

Na'er nodded vigorously: "You're definitely in, and you're the undisputed protagonist, the male lead."

"Of course, I'm the female lead."

Na'er laughed as she spoke, "Maybe it's because it's in a movie theater, but my dream was just like a movie."

"But for some reason, we ended up in America."

“I dreamt that after you left the military, you became an American police officer and even a squad leader, and then we got married.”

“You left early and came home late every day, and that went on for a long, long time. Then one morning I got up early and made you a meal…”

Na'er spoke as she tried to recall.

However, they did not notice that the figures around them had frozen in place.

When she realized the hand she was holding wasn't moving, she turned her head and asked, "Hmm?"

"Ah Jie, what's wrong?"

Zhang Jie took two steps forward.

The smile on his face turned into a serious expression.

"Let's go to the hotel!"

Upon hearing this, Na'er immediately forgot what she was going to say, and her face instantly turned red.

She was like a puppet as Zhang Jie pulled her toward the elevator.

"Upwards? Are there any hotels in the mall?"

Na'er blushed and asked softly.

Zhang Jie nodded: "There is an external corridor on the third floor of this shopping mall that leads to the hotel next door."

Na'er wanted to ask how you knew, but thinking about what might happen later, she didn't know how to start the conversation.

Strangely, Na'er discovered that from approaching the hotel to getting the room key at the counter...

Throughout the entire process, the staff simply smiled and watched them, and none of the staff they encountered said a word.

It went so smoothly that it didn't feel like being outside, but like being home.

This is a demonstration of the abilities of a master-level mental power user.

Without the restrictions of the main god, Zhang Jie now has plenty of options.

Even if it knocked the entire city unconscious in an instant, it would be a piece of cake.

Not to mention this level of hypnosis.

After closing the door.

Everyone in the hotel began to leave.

Some went home, some took a holiday, and others had urgent matters that required their immediate attention, forcing them to leave.

Even some who were already asleep woke up.

It hasn't been more than ten minutes.

This bustling hotel in the heart of the city was now empty except for Zhang Jie and Na'er.

in the room.

"Na'er, lie flat on the bed, close your eyes, and then start to recall the dream you just had."

"what happened?"

"Listen to me first!"

"Recall as much as you can, the more detailed the better."

Na'er took a deep breath, realizing she might have misunderstood, and calmed down. Then, as Zhang Jie had instructed, she lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and began to recall the dream she could barely remember.

Seeing Na'er close her eyes, Zhang Jie's fingers emitted a solid white light and touched Na'er's forehead.

What Zhang Jie didn't know was that at this very moment...

Those dreams that were originally fragmented began to become clearer and more coherent with his intervention.

Na'er, who should have died, also began to experience an inexplicable change in her memories.

Since the word "philosophy" was coined by humankind, a topic has emerged.

That is, what exactly is the relationship between people and memories?

Humans are not the same as memories, but humans are indeed beings built from memories.

So what's standing in front of you is actually a bunch of memories.

Or is it the person you want?

Li Xiao was unaware of what was happening at the hotel at that moment.

Because he also learned how to operate like a "modern person," using a phone with the Deep Blue logo to buy milk tea one minute and order two fried skewers the next.

It takes about ten minutes for some, and about twenty minutes for others.

Perhaps because it was just after the Lunar New Year, the pedestrian street was still as lively as ever.

As the sunlight faded.

Neon lights filled the view.

The drones hovering overhead, the robots dancing in the streets, and the AI ​​on each pedestrian's phone gave Li Xiao a slight sense of time travel.

Li Xiao learned through the internet that even so, war still exists in this world, and it has not decreased at all compared to before.

Watching the news broadcast from the battlefield.

You hit me, I hit you; Li Xiao even had the illusion that there was a constant war going on.

It wasn't just the war; the roadside barbecue stalls and the tea-flavored beer also intrigued Li Xiao.

In this rapidly changing world, Li Xiao also acknowledged a fact.

That means Chu Xuan's choice seems to be correct.

One day later.

Li Xiao fell from the air and re-entered the room.

He stood still for less than a second before his figure faded away.

It vanished from this world like a dream, without a trace.

The phrase "dreamlike illusion" was the only thought that came to Li Xiao's mind when he opened his eyes and looked at the Supreme God.

This is exactly what he experienced in the past two days.

And just as the two returned.

Na'er, who was chatting and laughing with Zhu Wen, disappeared again without warning, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Zhongzhou team.

It's as if this person never existed at all.

That's why.

When Zhang Jie and Li Xiao opened their eyes from their daze, they were both so startled that they took a step back.

no way.

Saito Hajime, Chen Zilong, Zhu Wen, and even Lingdian and Zhao Yingkong all gathered around—it was too close.

And they all had expressions of barely suppressed excitement.

"He's already gone back, so what exactly happened to Brother Jie?"

Looking at Saito Hajime who spoke up, and his teammates around him.

Li Xiao broke the silence, pulled everyone down to sit, and first recounted the story of Na'er that he had seen in the real world.

However, this explanation only made everyone more confused after they learned about Na'er's situation.

There is a living, breathing person in the real world.

Why did it reappear in the Main God Space?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yingkong also overturned her initial idea.

When everyone's attention turned to Zhang Jie again.

He habitually pulled out a pack of cigarettes, lit one skillfully, and then spoke:
"Sometimes having too much mental strength isn't a good thing."

"The Nar I created, without a doubt, disappeared because of my 'death' during The Matrix."

"The Na'er that Li Xiao mentioned in the real world is my wife, and also the original form of Na'er in the God Space."

"When I asked the God to create Na'er, the Na'er in the real world was already dead."

"This is also one of the reasons why I entered the Main God Space."

"So in my understanding, the Na'er that appeared in the Main God Space is the same Na'er in the real world, the only difference is that she came to life."

"They are one person, that's my opinion."

Hearing this, and seeing Zhang Jie exhale a puff of smoke, Li Xiao couldn't help but speak:
"What was that just now?"

"And what has appeared in front of me these past two days?"

Zhang Jie paused for a moment before speaking.

"When Nar was created in the Main God Space, according to His words..."

This image of Na'er is based on my impression of the real Na'er from the real world.

“It’s not just Na’er, but also Zheng Zha’s loli, and Xin’er created by Xiao Honglu.”

Do you believe that the person created based on this process is the same as the original being in the real world?

Seeing the thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, Zhang Jie smiled wryly: "Actually, we all know that's not the case."

"They may seem the same to us, but they are fundamentally different."

As he spoke, a different light suddenly appeared in Zhang Jie's eyes.

"But that's what I was thinking before I returned to the real world."

"I don't think that way anymore."

"Because in the real world, Na'er suddenly gained an extra set of memories after my appearance."

"A memory from the perspective of the android Nar."

"So I was thinking, is there a possibility?"

For the supreme god, creating an artificial human out of thin air is extremely difficult.

Wouldn't it be simpler to resurrect an ordinary person and then drag them into the God Realm?

"So, my Na'er, Zheng Zha's little girl, is actually the one from the real world!"

"It's as if they were truly resurrected, rather than created based on our imagination!"

"As for the other teams of androids, they are all people who died in the real world or even in the world of horror movies."

"As long as the base number is large enough, there will definitely be composite requirements."

"For example, Arno, created by Chu Xuan. Of course, there is no way to verify this, and it is just my speculation."

"After all, this involves the rules governing the operation of the Main God Space."

As he spoke, Zhang Jie became excited again.

"But I think the possibility is very high."

The Supreme God has actually been subtly manipulating our understanding. After all, if things like the Demon-Refining Pot and the Will-Controlling Ironclad Soldier can appear, then the Book of Life and Death and the Underworld might also have them.

"Therefore, for a God Realm with such capabilities, instead of expending a great deal of effort to create a non-existent person, it would be better to..."

Seeing the increasingly outrageous content, Li Xiao quickly interrupted, regardless of what happened to the others.

"Wait a minute, Brother Jie, let's not talk about the logic behind the androids in the God Space."

"Since you didn't recreate Na'er, then what exactly happened to Na'er these past two days...?"

Zhang Jie finally revealed a name.

"Thoughts Form!"

"I think it's appropriate to address him/her."

"I just said that having too much mental strength is not good either, and it also has side effects."

"And the 'thought body' is one of the side effects."

Li Xiao nodded: "As the name suggests, so you mean that because you miss Na'er, your spiritual power unintentionally materialized a Na'er in the past two days?"

"And this Na'er is just like a real person, we didn't notice anything?"

"So this was a passive illusion from beginning to end?"

Zhang Jie thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Yes, that's one way to understand it." (End of Chapter)
