Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 168 When the fake is true, the truth is also false

In the laboratory.

After hearing what Li Xiu said, Yi Yuankui said with a strange expression: "Speaking of which, how did Brother Xie obtain his immortal body?"

"Of course it comes from the power of an indescribable creature." Li Xiu glanced at Yi Yuankui at the side and said, "You know, it's the curse of an indescribable creature."

"That power cannot be explained by common sense."

"Okay." Since it was related to the indescribable creature, Yi Yuankui no longer bothered about it.

Everyone continued to observe Xie Shen's condition in the laboratory.

...

I don’t know how much time has passed.

When Xie Shen opened his eyes again, he found himself in a very familiar room.

“This place is.”

Looking at the layout and furnishings in the room, Xie Shen was shocked: "Isn't this the dormitory I lived in when I was in college?"

"I actually traveled back to my old dormitory in my dream??"

If one adds up the time Xie Shen spent on Tianyuan Star and on Earth, he has lived for a total of more than 1200 years.

Those memories of college had long since become blurred in his mind.

Now that the past scenes reappeared, Xie Shen couldn't help but reveal a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

He looked around, and finally followed his instinct to the balcony of the dormitory and looked into the distance.

Xie Shen saw:
People walking on the road, birds flying in the sky, and leaves and branches swaying left and right after being caressed by the breeze.

Everything seemed so real.

He could even smell a hint of laundry detergent in the air.

——That was because some students were too careless when washing clothes and failed to wash away all the detergent residue on the clothes.

have to say.

The dream world derived from the "dream" of an indescribable creature is so real that it is indistinguishable from the real world.

It's really scary when you think about it.
on the balcony.

As Xie Shen was thinking, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor.

The next second, two familiar figures entered the dormitory one after another.

These two people were Xie Shen’s roommates in college.

The fatter one among them said to Xie Shen.

"Son, when your name was called just now, Daddy already called out 'here' for you."

"Do you think daddy is good to you?"

As he said this, he suddenly showed a helpless expression: "I am just a father who dotes on you. There is nothing I can do."

Xie Shen stared at the fat man for a long time.

He tried hard to search for memories in his mind, and finally looked at the other person uncertainly: "Are you Liang Qiuyuan?"

"what?"

The fat man looked confused. He didn't quite understand what Xie Shen was doing.

But Xie Shen looked at the person next to the fat man and said, "You are Hong Chen, right?"

The roommate named Hong Chen looked at Xie Shen strangely and asked, "Xie Shen, what are you doing? Are you pretending not to know us?"

"Ah."

Although everything before him was just a dream, Xie Shen couldn't help but let out a silly laugh after seeing his old friends.

Maybe it's boring.

Seeing that Xie Shen was just smiling foolishly and not saying anything, the two roommates stopped talking to him.

The two of them each held a mobile phone, eating lunch boxes while busy watching short videos on their phones.

Soon, the BGM unique to short videos began to sound in the dormitory.
...

Being in a dreamland derived from the "dream" of an indescribable creature, Xie Shen did not dare to be arrogant at all.

After a brief moment of emotion, he began to think about what he should do to leave this world.

Out of habit, the first thing Xie Shen thought of was to use his spiritual sense to explore the surrounding environment.

but.
Just when he tried to release the spiritual consciousness in his body, he found that not only did he lose his spiritual consciousness, but even his extraordinary cultivation had disappeared without a trace.

So, am I just an ordinary person in my dream?
After realizing this, Xie Shen went to the dormitory balcony again and looked down.

——He thought of committing suicide to force himself to wake up from the dream.

But not long after this thought came to mind, Xie Shen suddenly began to doubt his own understanding for no apparent reason:

What if those memories about time travel and cultivating immortals were false, and everything before our eyes was real?
What if I have never traveled through time at all?

If I jump directly from the building like this, will I really die?
We only have one chance in life. If you die, everything will be gone.

Xie Shen did not dare to take his life as a joke.

So, driven by the desire to survive, he slowly retreated from the balcony back to the dormitory.

Before you reach a dead end, try other methods first.
In the dormitory.

Seeing Xie Shen walking to the balcony as if possessed and looking down, he walked back after a few seconds as if he realized something.

Liang Qiuyuan noticed something was wrong and asked Xie Shen seriously, "Xie Shen, are you okay? Why do I suddenly feel like you're acting weird?"

Xie Shen didn't say anything, but just sat cross-legged on his bed and silently practiced the "Honghuang Swallowing Heaven Art".

as predicted.

This world does not have any spiritual energy or any supernatural power like "painful emotions".

Now Xie Shen was completely at his wits' end.

"Son, what are you doing?"

Seeing that Xie Shen said nothing, he just sat cross-legged on the bed silently.

Liang Qiuyuan was somewhat speechless, but also concerned, "You are meditating on the bed, are you trying to cultivate immortality?"

In Xie Shen's opinion, Liang Qiuyuan and other roommates were just illusions created by indescribable creatures using great magical powers.

None of it is true.

So Xie Shen has always been unwilling to communicate too much with them.

But after seeing that Liang Qiuyuan cared about him so much, Xie Shen began to take him seriously.

He also asked Liang Qiuyuan very seriously: "Think back, do you have any memories of your childhood?"

"Think carefully, do you really exist?"

In order not to let Liang Qiuyuan feel that he was joking.

Xie Shen said, and suddenly added: "I am asking you very seriously now. Please cooperate with me and answer my question."

this.
Although he felt strange, Liang Qiuyuan finally answered: "It's about my childhood memories."

"Too early, like in kindergarten, I'm sure I can't remember it clearly."

"But I still remember what happened in elementary and junior high school."

"Why?" Liang Qiuyuan asked curiously, "Why are you asking this question all of a sudden? You're acting like a philosopher."

Xie Shen continued to speak to Liang Qiuyuan seriously, "Actually, I am now trapped in a dream created by some creature."

"You are all just characters in a dream, created by that creature using its magic power."

"Including your memory and your personality."

"Son." Hearing this, Liang Qiuyuan imitated Xie Shen's tone and said, "Actually, I am Qin Shi Huang. I was framed by Zhao Gao and trapped in a dream."

"As long as you transfer 100 million to me, I can wake up from my dream."

"When I wake up, I will make you a general." "How about it?"

"Can you give me some money?"

Xie Shen ignored Liang Qiuyuan's teasing and just thought in his mind what he should do to leave the dream world.

Suicide is definitely not an option.

I don’t know why.

Xie Shen always had a vague feeling in his heart that the world he lived in was not entirely a dream.

Once he dies in this world, he on the Ark will most likely die with him.

Even though he is immortal.

Since I am in the dream world, I cannot use the cultivation of the Spirit Transformation Stage, nor can I force myself to wake up by committing suicide.

Now, Xie Shen has only one way to go.

In the dormitory.

Xie Shen stood up from the bed and said to Liang Qiuyuan, "Can you help me ask for leave from the counselor?"

"I have something important to do and I have to be away for a few days."

Having said that, Xie Shen suddenly changed his tone.

"Forget it, forget it, you don't need to ask for leave."

"It's just a dream anyway, so asking for leave is unnecessary."

After saying that, Xie Shen picked up his phone and left the dormitory on his own.

Only roommates Liang Qiuyuan and Hong Chen were left, sitting on chairs with confused expressions on their faces.

Liang Qiuyuan pondered for a long time before speaking: "What on earth is Xie Shen trying to do? Is he really crazy?"

"Oh, forget about him." Hong Chen analyzed, "He probably went to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be back before the dormitory closes at night."

...

When Xie Shen first arrived at the Tiangong Space Station, he escorted Li Xiu to a military base deep underground.

——According to Li Xiu, as a product of military experiments, he grew up in that military base since he was a child.

If Xie Shen remembered correctly, the military base should be in Jiaxing, Zhejiang.
Xie Shen's identity at this time is a student.

Since he had no money, he took a green train with very cheap ticket price.

Although the speed was slow, fortunately the university where Xie Shen studied was not far from the destination.

So it took him less than half a day to successfully reach the target city.

Following the memories in his mind, Xie Shen continued searching throughout the city.

It took him two days and two nights, and he finally found the entrance to the military base where Li Xiu was suspected to be.

The entrance is in an inconspicuous underground parking lot.

In the corner of the parking lot, you can see an old man lying on a deck chair and taking a nap.

This is very interesting:

There is neither a public toilet nor any entrance or exit in this corner of the parking lot.

It's summer at this time.

In addition, when Xie Shen arrived, it was already evening.

So there are still quite a lot of mosquitoes in the parking lot.

But the old man was like Mount Tai and never left the corner of the parking lot.

In order to repel mosquitoes, he even lit three mosquito coils beside him.

Obviously.

This old man is guarding something.

For example, the entrance to an underground military base.
Thinking of this, Xie Shen walked straight forward.

He directly asked the old man, "Uncle, there should be a military base under this ground, right?"

On the deck chair.

When the old man, who was resting with his eyes closed, heard Xie Shen's voice, he opened his eyes reluctantly.

He didn't say anything, just looked Xie Shen up and down, and then continued to lie back in the lounge chair and take a nap.

Xie Shen did not give up.

He continued to say to the old man: "I am here to see Li Xiu. I have something very important to tell him. Can you please help inform him?"

The old man fanned Xie Shen with his fan and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't know what you are talking about. I am the security guard here. If you have nothing to do, don't bother me."

Xie Shen is very patient.

He once again said to himself: "Please tell Li Xiu that I know information about the indescribable creatures, the tower prison that will appear on Earth in the future, and many other important secrets. I know everything."

This time the old man no longer had that nonchalant expression.

After hearing what Xie Shen said, he suddenly sat up from the chair and his expression became extremely serious.

The old man shouted at Xie Shen, "Where are you from? Who told you to say these words?"

Xie Shen thought for a moment and said, "Everything that happened to me may be a little complicated to explain."

"Besides, I don't think you are qualified to know given your status."

"So, maybe you can take me to see Li Xiu now?"

There seemed to be listening and monitoring equipment installed in the corner of this parking lot.

Just as Xie Shen was talking to the old man, a familiar voice without a trace of emotion suddenly and inexplicably sounded from the wall.

The voice said calmly: "Uncle Quan, please bring him in."

It was definitely Li Xiu's voice.

After getting Li Xiu's permission, the old man looked Xie Shen up and down again.

After a few seconds.

In front of Xie Shen, he jumped into the compartment of a van and said to Xie Shen, "Come in, I'll take you to see Li Xiu."

So the back of this van is the entrance to the military base?

After realizing this, Xie Shen couldn't help but ask: "I remember that the entrance to the military base should be a bunker door, right?"

"That's the main entrance. Normally people are not allowed to go through it." The old man explained, "This parking lot is busy with people coming and going through the main entrance every day. Wouldn't the military base have been exposed long ago?"

reasonable.

Xie Shen said no more and just followed the old man into a secret door in the carriage.

After passing through the secret door, he felt that the view in front of him suddenly became clear.

Unlike the dilapidated scene in Xie Shen’s memory, what came into his sight at this moment was an underground military base with a very sci-fi feel.

As soon as Xie Shen arrived here, he saw two soldiers in camouflage uniforms approaching him.

Led by the two, Xie Shen soon arrived at a small room that was suspected to be an interrogation room.

Not long after that.

A middle-aged man wearing a white shirt and a pair of metal glasses pushed the door open and walked into the room.

After Xie Shen saw the middle-aged man's appearance clearly, he showed joy on his face.

Then he suddenly realized: "No wonder you were able to develop zirconium metal glasses in such a short time after you went to the space station."

"After all this time, you have already developed these glasses by now."

Xie Shen's words successfully aroused Li Xiu's interest.

He pulled a chair and sat opposite Xie Shen, and said expressionlessly: "From what you said, you are a time traveler? You returned from the future to the present?"
