"There's no way I would change it for the memory of just one person."

"only……"

At this point, the girl in the white dress changed the subject, narrowed her eyes slightly, paused for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"However, just like the stories in the book, I know the outlines of these stories, but after reading the book carefully, I will have more detailed feelings."

"Among all of this, regret seems to have always been the more moving element."

The girl in the white dress stretched out her hands and made a gesture of flipping through books, as if she was really looking at books that did not exist.

"Among these stories, the girl's story is not the most regrettable, nor is it the one that I find most difficult to let go of."

"But maybe because I chose her body, I can't treat her story with a normal heart, but that's all."

"The reason I want to leave is not because of me, but because of your friend."

Hearing this, my expression turned strange and I asked tentatively.

"Are you talking about Qu Yunliu?"

The girl in the white dress nodded expressionlessly and replied.

"Yes, I may be able to continue using this body openly, but he will never be able to take this matter in a normal way."

"This weird feeling makes me question my own existence and feel that this body is separated from me."

Hearing this, I lowered my brows, looked carefully at the girl in the white dress in front of me, and said softly.

"But this body does not belong to you."

The girl in the white dress did not deny it. Instead, she nodded calmly and said.

"It's like this, I don't have a body of flesh and blood of my own."

"No matter which body you use, you are still using someone else's body. This is not something I can change."

Hearing this, I was speechless for a moment. I was left speechless by the frankness of the girl in the white dress, and I also lost the reason to let her stay.

"Well, before you leave, can you confirm one thing for me?"

The girl in the white dress turned her head slightly, looked in my direction, and asked in a cold tone.

"what's up?"

I slowly stood up, walked around the table, and asked slowly.

"Since you can read the memories of those parasitized by Epiphyllum, can you simulate that person's personality in a short period of time?"

The girl in the white dress nodded, confirming my guess, but she also seemed to realize something, frowned, and turned to ask me.

"So, what do you want to do?"

Hearing this, I grinned and spoke softly with what I thought was a kind expression.

"I hate stories without a beginning or an end. After listening to Qu Yunliu's story tonight, I want this story to be more complete."

"Although it's unkind, I did remind that guy of something."

As I said this, I spread my hands, shrugged slightly, and said helplessly.

"It also proves that he wasn't such a twisted person from the beginning."

After hearing this, the girl in the white dress was silent for a moment, nodded, and spoke briefly.

"Okay, I promise you this."

"But you get to choose when. I want to leave tonight."

I scratched my head and looked at the open door. After thinking carefully, I answered.

"Since you've said that, then why not wait for a better day?"

"Someone is going to have trouble sleeping tonight."

……

Half an hour later, I stood in front of the wooden house where Qu Yunliu was with the girl in white dress. I knocked on the wooden door gently and called softly into the house.

"Qu Yunliu? Qu Yunliu?!"

"Wake up, Santa Claus is coming."

Chapter 256

"Qu Yunliu? Qu Yunliu?!"

"Wake up, Santa Claus is coming."

Dong, Dong, Dong, accompanied by a series of rapid knocks on the door, the yellowed wooden door slowly opened.

Under the moonlight, Qu Yunliu's shadowy and handsome face appeared in my sight. He looked at me very vigilantly, and then uncontrollably fixed his gaze on the girl in white dress standing beside me.

Qu Yunliu frowned suddenly, and a hint of complexity flashed across his eyes. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all.

"Do you know what time it is?"

Like an ordinary person who was woken up, Qu Yunliu spoke in a bad tone, full of dissatisfaction and resentment. He forced his gaze away from the girl in the white dress, as if he wanted to pretend to ignore her, but he was the only one who didn't notice the deliberateness.

I forced an awkward smile, squeezed forward, and blocked the door with my feet to prevent Qu Yunliu from closing it.

"Didn't you say before that I could discuss things with you casually?"

Qu Yunliu was stunned when he heard this. After thinking seriously for a moment, he spoke with some uncertainty.

"Really? I don't remember ever saying anything like that. Forget it, just tell me what you want from me."

I put away the awkward smile on my face, coughed lightly a few times, and turned slightly to make way for the girl in the white dress standing behind me.

At this moment, the girl in the white dress still looked cold, her black eyes reflected the starry sky, but without a trace of joy or anger revealed.

"Do you remember this guy? She decided to leave this base."

Qu Yunliu's eyes flashed and he asked subconsciously.

"When?"

I turned to look at the girl in the white dress, only to see her nodding slightly, indicating that she had not changed her mind.

"Tonight, she will leave the Shield Stronghold tonight."

Qu Yunliu's face changed slightly, and perhaps he himself did not realize that he made a gesture as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

After a few seconds, Qu Yunliu grabbed the door handle, trying to close the door, and said to me expressionlessly.

"Why don't you just make the decision yourself? You brought her here, so why bother to consult me?"

My right foot, which had squeezed in ahead of time, stepped forward and blocked the closing wooden door. A hint of doubt flashed across Qu Yunliu's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at me with a puzzled look.

"I think I have to discuss this with you."

Qu Yunliu's expression became a little impatient. He looked at me sideways and said coldly.

"Why? Just because she used my friend's body?"

"Do you think I care about this kind of thing?"

Listening to Qu Yunliu's sneer and ridicule, I had no intention of fighting back. Instead, I nodded seriously, looked at Qu Yunliu deeply, and said softly.

"Yes, you care about it."

Qu Yunliu's face froze, then returned to normal, only for a moment. He raised his chin slightly and said with great disdain.

"This is the most boring joke I have ever heard in my life. If you just want to show off your poor sense of humor to me, please go back."

"I'm going to sleep."

As he spoke, Qu Yunliu increased his strength, trying to force the wooden door shut, completely ignoring my foot that was stuck in the door.

It seems that people who know that I am immortal have a worse attitude towards me. Could it be that a body that can heal itself quickly will not feel pain?

However, Qu Yunliu really doesn't care whether I feel pain or not.

I forcefully held the door open in a somewhat arrogant manner, preventing Qu Yunliu from closing it. As he had been recovering from illness for many years, it was naturally impossible for him to compete with me in strength.

Seeing that closing the door was fruitless, Qu Yunliu lowered his head as if admitting defeat and said helplessly.

"Why are you so attentive? Is there any special reason?"

I grabbed the edge of the wooden door with both hands, like a criminal about to do something bad, and spoke quickly to Qu Yunliu.

"I'll keep my story short."

"My foot got caught in your door."

"It hurts like hell."

Upon hearing this, Qu Yunliu's eyes twitched and he finally let go of the wooden door. I pushed the wooden door aside, freeing my foot which was stuck and almost swollen, and continued speaking.

"I've told you about this special creature called Tan before, but I forgot to tell you some details."

"Tan is like a terminal of a regional network. As the earliest plants, they don't have their own consciousness, at least in the beginning."

"But when the night-blooming cereus is born, it will read the memory of the creatures entangled in its roots."

"Every single one, every living thing, even if the other party was already a corpse before."

Hearing this, Qu Yunliu's face turned pale. He was not a fool and immediately understood the meaning of it. However, he did not say anything else. He just stood there without saying a word.

"Although this may be somewhat unethical, after hearing your story, I felt that I had to tell you in person."

"In that girl's memory, the story is different from what you told me, but that doesn't matter."

"You may not know yet that you have already hinted at your own memory and tampered with it yourself."

"So, I want you to hear the original story."

Qu Yunliu was not surprised at all. He seemed to have realized that there was something wrong with his memory a long time ago, and spoke to me very calmly.

"Since it is something I want to forget, why do you force me to remember it?"

Hearing this, I twisted my neck and said with a smile as if I was joking.

"Because it's not fair. I don't want your memory to become that good. After all, you are not suitable for this kind of thing."

"This makes me very jealous. Why are you the only one who can live so freely? It's time for you to taste the real suffering."

After saying that, I turned my head to look at the girl in the white dress. After getting my signal, the girl in the white dress didn't say anything more. She walked straight towards me, walked to my side, and looked at Qu Yunliu from a close distance.

"Sorry."

The girl in the white dress bowed and apologized, then slowly raised her head. As her little head rose higher and higher, I noticed that her expression had become gentle.

This wasn't like her, and apparently she had begun to mimic the girl's memories.

The face of the girl in the white dress was no longer so cold, but even had a bit of warmth.

After she raised her head completely, she raised her head slightly, looked at Qu Yunliu with a gentle smile, and spoke slowly.

"Long time no see, Mumble."

Upon seeing this, Qu Yunliu's eyes froze, and he looked at the girl in front of him as if in another world. Although he knew that this was probably just a personality imitation, he still responded softly uncontrollably.

"Ah...long time no see."

Chapter 257

The night wind blew, I looked at the two people looking at each other in silence, sighed deeply, and then turned and left.

He seemed to have a thousand words to say, but when they came to his lips he could not utter a word.

The past has become a little blurry. When I recall it, it is no longer so warm. Only a vague regret remains.

I have always been very clear about this feeling. Having lived in this world for such a long time, I know better than anyone that human emotions will gradually fade with memory.

No matter how painful it is when an important person dies, we will slowly forget the pain as time goes by. This is not relief, it's just forgetting.

Our brain memory is limited, including the pain we feel when our loved ones leave. Even if we feel excruciating pain at the time, it will eventually be filled with new memories, squeezing out those painful memories bit by bit.

Time is the best medicine, but I don’t agree with this statement. It is not a good medicine to heal pain, but a poison that forces us to forget important people.

In our life, we are destined to experience countless farewells. With every farewell, we think that we will remember it forever.

But the fact is, we will forget all the partings, forget the feelings we had at that time, and forget the reluctance we felt at that time.
