Ji Yan's eyes widened in shock. He grabbed the woman by the collar and roared, "Who are you?!"
The women instinctively took a step back.
But she showed no panic. She just looked at Ji Yan with a cold and sorrowful gaze: "I am the one relationship she most didn't want to admit before she deleted me—that is her truest obsession and guilt towards you."
Suddenly, all around fell silent.
Time seemed to stand still.
The girl spoke again softly:
“If you are to walk through that door, you cannot go on with the memory of deceiving each other. Now, does anyone still want to continue?”
No one speaks.
After a long while, Ji Yan let go of her hand.
He glanced down at his blood-soaked palms, then slowly raised his gaze to the open door.
His voice was deep, hoarse, yet incredibly firm:
"Enter."
Chenxi sneered: "I've never been afraid of the truth, much less of pain."
"Stop talking like a hero's speech, let's go!" Chu Mo was the first to leap out.
Su Ting sighed deeply and said with a wry smile, "If I could choose a good path in life, I wouldn't have followed this group of lunatics all the way here."
They stepped into the door one by one, their figures swallowed by the light and shadow.
The gate gradually closed.
Outside the door, the little girl stood quietly beside the mysterious woman, gazing up at the lingering shadow of the Heavenly Judge.
"What happens next?"
"They will find all the pieces...and they will encounter the ultimate truth."
The woman lowered her head and gently stroked the little girl's cheek:
"Are you ready, final bearer?"
The girl's eyes were clear and resolute as she answered softly:
“I’ve always known this is not the end.”
The moment Ji Yan stepped through the door, the world spun before his eyes, and his consciousness seemed to be ripped from his body, plunging him into a scene of countless fragments flying around.
He saw the figure of Lin Ruoyu, who had fought alongside him in his youth, suddenly turn away under the dawn.
"I'm sorry... Ji Yan."
Scene changes—she stands atop a high tower, coldly looking down at herself lying on the ground, covered in blood.
That battle was a betrayal.
Or should we choose?
"What the hell is this place?!"
Chu Mo's voice suddenly boomed, pulling everyone back to reality. They found themselves in the ruins of a desolate city, with fragmented data clouds floating in the sky like a rain that would never fall.
Chapter 1113 Someone is waiting for us
Chenxi looked down at the bracelet on her wrist: "Damn, I can't even detect any energy fluctuations... Is this a completely disconnected space?"
Su Ting frowned and looked around: "So... this is not the world we are familiar with, but a closed prison of memories."
Ji Yan remained silent, his gaze piercing through the layers of rubble, settling on a slightly ajar door in the distance. The door was carved with indistinct totems, symbols of a language they had never seen before.
“There,” he said softly, “someone is waiting for us.”
The girl said softly, "It's not 'someone,' it's 'yourselves.'"
"What do you mean?" Chenxi frowned.
Before the words were finished, a cold, electronic voice suddenly rang out, as if descending from the void:
[Welcome back to the first experimental field of the 'Old Era Project'. Revisiters numbered 001 to 006. Identity verification successful.]
The ground suddenly shook, and amidst the rising dust, six stone platforms slowly rose up.
The figures on the platform gradually became clearer—and it was indeed them!
However, those people had no eyes, no emotions, only cold actions and precise operations, like perfectly functioning machines.
Chenxi's eyes widened: "Holy crap... what is this? A replica? A robot? An imposter?"
Ji Yan's gaze was icy: "This is not a copy, it's us from our memories. The way we used to be, the way we least want to face."
The replica looked up, its voice so cold it sent chills down one's spine:
"Mission objective: Eliminate the heretical consciousness and restore system order."
Su Ting gritted his teeth: "Screw your system order! I've broken free from it eight hundred times already, okay?!"
The battle broke out as soon as the words were spoken!
The moment Chenxi faced him, she almost lost her mind: "Would it kill you to say something? Don't just resort to violence!"
The figure didn't answer at all, and the wind from the punch rushed straight at his face!
Chenxi dodged to the side, her fist grazing her cheek, leaving a faint spark in the air. The next moment, her counterattack was already underway.
But strangely enough, every single move the opponent made was exactly the same as hers!
"Holy crap... this is the real mirror image fighting style?!" Chenxi cursed as she dodged, "This is way more frustrating than fighting NPCs!"
On the other side, Ji Yan met the "past self," whose eyes were as empty as an abyss: "Lin Ruoyu was once my faith. I carried out missions for her and cleared obstacles for her. Your memories are just a contaminated virus."
Ji Yan's eyes widened in anger, and he launched a fierce punch!
The fists collided, causing the surrounding bricks to shatter!
"Shut up!! Do you think I survived for revenge? I just wanted to see why she chose to disappear... why she chose to leave me behind!" Ji Yan roared, "You don't deserve to call me the past me! You're just her executioner!"
The two clashed fiercely, neither willing to back down an inch.
Meanwhile, in the distance, Su Ting was barely managing to maintain the battle situation through his wits: "Is this all the monsters produced by your system are capable of? Want me to tell you a joke to relax you?"
The figure remained expressionless: "Mission priority."
"Okay, I won't be polite then."
Su Ting sneered, kicked his opponent in the back of the knee, and then flipped around to his back. Just as the enemy turned around, he had already leaped into the air, a miniature particle dagger in his hand flashing with a cold light.
"Watch closely, this is the kind of adaptability that humans should have."
However, the next second, the figure actually took a defensive stance in advance and blocked the critical blow!
"Holy crap, you can read minds?"
Chapter 1114 is about memory prediction.
"It's not mind reading," Chu Mo roared, turning around breathlessly, "It's memory prediction!! This guy has mastered every skill you've ever used before!!"
Su Ting's expression changed drastically: "Then I can't let you keep remembering like this!!"
The battle intensifies, and everyone begins to confront the shadows of their past. With each attack and each act of resistance, the data streams drifting in the sky gradually solidify into images.
Those are fragments of the past, and hidden secrets are gradually emerging...
Lin Ruoyu was once a test subject of the system.
She was the earliest "dual personality simulator," but a portion of her own will was forcibly sealed away.
That will is the same as that mysterious woman standing outside right now.
She had no name, only a lingering emotion—reluctance to part with Ji Yan, guilt, and regret after her sacrifice.
After erasing the "complete Ji Yan" with her own hands, she chose to completely seal away this memory.
"You think I love you, so I'm willing to bear all the pain? No... I'm just paying for a sin that I can't even forgive myself."
At this moment, in this world of memories where virtuality and reality intertwine, that truth is gradually being revived.
Just as everyone was locked in fierce combat, a girl's voice suddenly exploded in their minds:
"Get out of here immediately!! They are not just the past...they are your choices for the future!"
"What do you mean?!" Ji Yan shouted, only to see the figure suddenly reveal a strange smile.
"Have you ever considered... obeying the system again? As long as you let go of your resistance, you can get her... her whole self."
"who is she?"
"Lin Ruoyu".
Ji Yan's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Bullshit!! If she were still alive, she would definitely walk with me—no matter what lies ahead, whether it's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire."
"But what you're facing now isn't her... it's your soft spot."
Before the words were finished, the illusion suddenly burst forth with a beam of light!
