I, the Memory Master, play with players in my hands

"My past..." Yuqing's body gradually floated up. She floated in the air, shaking her legs. After thinking carefully for a moment, she looked at Xing, "In fact, you already know a lot, don't you?"

"what?"

"Chronicles of Yuanshi Tianzun, List of Great Enemies, Biography of Yuqing, and Daichuang... You should have read these books in Luofu."

Yuqing named several book titles that Xing was very familiar with in one breath. Xing nodded. Indeed, she had read a lot of books in her spare time in Luofu, especially those related to Yuqing. She had read all the books that Yuqing mentioned from beginning to end.

But, these are just books, right?

"The books I mentioned are not fictional stories. They are all true history recorded by successive historians on the Immortal Boat. Although the content about me is more or less artistic, the main content is consistent with history." Yuqing paused for a moment, as if she thought of something else. "Oh, yes, and I don't know if there is a monument to me in Suiyuan on Luofu, but there is a monument to me in the Martyrs' Cemetery. If you have time, you can go and burn some paper money for me and take a look at the words on the monument. They are all introductions to my first half of life."

"In fact, it's not just history books. You can also refer to some novels. For example, in the series of works of Investiture of the Gods, there are characters designed based on me. There are also storytelling and crosstalk related to me..."

"It's not these..."

Xing interrupted Yuqing while she was reading out the dishes.

She bit her lower lip tightly, clenched her fists, and had an extremely tangled expression, as if she had gone through a long inner struggle before making the current decision. She finally raised her head, her eyes did not evade at all, and stared straight into Yuqing's beautiful amber eyes.

"I already know these words by heart."

Xing recalled the time she spent on the immortal boat [Luofu]. Reading had never been her hobby, but she still used her precious free time to read books. The reason was very simple - because those books were all related to Yuqing.

She read the books that recorded Yuqing's life over and over again, and she had already memorized Yuqing's experiences in the first half of his life. She could even remember the year, month, and day when Yuqing became the [Sword Master], and the year, month, and day when he became the [Dai C] General... She could also tell every time Yuqing helped Xianzhou after becoming the envoy.

but……

"What do you like to eat, what are your favorite books, where do you go when you want to go out, what are your friendship preferences... these are what I want to know. I want to see the real Sister Yuqing, not empty history!"

"I just want to know the real Sister Yuqing, that's all!"

Xing almost shouted the last sentence. She didn't know she had missed this opportunity. As she spent more and more time with Yuqing, she wanted to know more about Yuqing. Her original curiosity had already turned into an obsession, so this time, she didn't want to return empty-handed!

"..." Yuqing waited for Xing to finish speaking. The smile on her face gradually faded, and her tone became less lively. She slowly spoke, "The real me..."

“I don’t really know what I am like.”

"So far, I have existed in this world for nearly 7000 years. My life is even longer than that of many civilizations. This extremely long life experience cannot be called a good one."

"Even if my past and experiences are much heavier than you think, even if the real me is very different from what you imagined, do you still want to understand?"

Yuqing's words did not make Xing give up the idea of ​​finding out the truth. Xing only felt her inner excitement growing stronger and stronger. She seemed to have seen the truth she wanted right in front of her, so when faced with Yuqing's repeated questioning, she nodded firmly.

According to the normal routine, the next thing should be that Yuqing reveals his true feelings to her, tells her about the past, and their feelings warm up after a deeper understanding... That's what Xing thought.

Yuqing naturally saw clearly what she was thinking.

However, if what Yuqing did was "normal", then she would not be Yuqing.

"I have one more question."

When Yuqing said this, Xing's heart seemed to click.

And when Yuqing said the next sentence, Xing was absolutely certain that his heart skipped a beat.

"Why do you want to know me so much?" Yuqing smiled again, but this time, the smile seemed rather cunning. "Your footprints have spread across three worlds, the space station [Black Tower], Yalilo VI, the immortal ship [Luofu]..."

"And I, Yuqing, am just an ordinary passer-by on your [pioneering] road, no different from anyone else."

"Then why are you so obsessed with knowing everything about me? Xing, what's the answer?"

Another rhetorical question.

And it was an impeccable rhetorical question.

"Because... because I..."

Xing was stuck, all the momentum she had just had disappeared, she lowered her head to look at the ground, her mouth opened and closed, her voice moved again and again, but she still couldn't utter an answer.

Didn't she know the answer?

No, Xing was extremely sure of the answer in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.

Xing always has a clear self-awareness of himself.

As Yuqing said, her life was longer than many civilizations. In her nearly 7000 years of life, she had met more people than Xing had eaten rice, and many of them were definitely better than Xing. Now, she was just one of the countless canaries that Yuqing casually flirted with.

If she really spoke out her inner thoughts in a self-righteous manner, it might be an act of usurpation for Yuqing, and she would not even be able to maintain this false warmth.

This is a result that Xing absolutely does not want to see.

and so……

"Because Sister Yuqing has always seen through everything about me... so I also want to... get to know you better." After a long psychological struggle, Xing said this sentence hesitantly. This answer had nothing to do with the answer in her mind, and Xing began to feel uneasy after saying this. She knew that Yuqing had the ability to see through people's hearts, and Yuqing must have known the true answer in her heart...

"you are lying."

As expected, Yuqing's four short words completely shattered Xing's defenses. Xing was like a deflated ball, and her whole body was withered. At this moment, her obsession with finding the answer had long been forgotten. All she had in her heart was endless worry.

"It's okay, don't be nervous, everyone lies sometimes." The smile on Yuqing's face did not disappear. She just slowly floated in front of Xing, stretched out her hand and gently lifted Xing's chin, so that Xing, who lowered his head, could look at her again. "But lying is not a good habit."

Xing, who was in close contact with Yuqing, felt no joy in her heart. She stared dejectedly at Yuqing's beautiful amber eyes, with a dim light flashing in her eyes.

This was the first time that Xing observed Yuqing's eyes so closely.

And it was this one glance that made Xing's heart feel like it was sinking into an icy cave.

Although Yuqing's tone sounded so kind and the smile on her face was so friendly.

But Xing couldn't see anything from these eyes.

Just like two bottomless wells, these eyes are so beautiful, but you can't see anything at a glance. Eyes are windows to the soul, and a person's eyes can always reflect her true inner thoughts. Now, Xing has come to her own conclusion.

After "killing" Yuqing, everything was just as she had learned from the messenger on the train.

There is no longer anything called "emotion".

The foundation of Yuqing's life comes from [memory]. Not only her abilities, but even her consciousness and performance are simulated from [memory].

All the "emotions" she had shown so far, whether it was "tenderness" or "anger"... were all imitations of her own [memories].

So, it's all fake.

Then there is no need to get the answer.

Volume 1: Chapter 117 Xing: I test! I fell in love for the second time!

An unprecedented sense of loss hit Xing's heart. She felt as if she had fallen from heaven to the eighteenth level of hell, because she suddenly realized that all the actions of Sister Yuqing, who cared about her so much, were actually fake.

All her obsession and affection for Yuqing, after all, was just wishful thinking.

Xing felt that her world suddenly lost its color. Even though she was in the bustling Beloberg Historical Museum, she could only see gray.

Tired, destroy it.

[I! Can’t stand spicy food!!!]

[Damn it, this is such a big Easter egg. I thought I could eat some candy, but you are here? You are fooling me! ]

[Not only has the mystery not been solved, but our defense has been broken. We live in Bengbu, and we will go to the Xingtie official account to start charging! ]

[Is everything fake? I don't believe it! Sister Yuqing cares so much about Pioneer, and she even praises Pioneer for being cute! Moreover, she also spends time to help Teacher Jizi get over the past. How can all the emotions shown by such Yuqing be fake? ! I don't believe it! ]

[So what if it's fake? All of Yuqing's goodwill so far is genuine. Even if it's fake, the results of these goodwills are real. Why should we care about what's real and what's fake? She is Yuqing, and that's enough.]

"It seems a bit too much."

The [memories] in his mind gushed out like a blowout. Yuqing looked at the star in front of him, who seemed to be petrified and had no desire to live, and sighed slowly.

She put down the hand that was lifting Xing's chin, stretched out her index finger, and tapped it lightly on Xing's forehead.

A cool breath poured into Xing's sea of ​​consciousness, and Xing's chaotic brain instantly became clear. However, the clarity of her brain did not mean that she had returned to normal, and she still needed further help.

"The world is like this. True or false, true or false, truth or lie, in the final analysis, it is all people's subjective conjecture."

"In this world, only memory will not deceive us."

Yuqing's words were like a drop of paint mixed with countless colors, which silently dripped into the world of Xing. The gray-black world in Xing's eyes recovered its original color at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her pupils shrank slightly, and she stared at Yuqing's amber eyes like ancient wells in this world that gradually recovered its color. At a certain moment.

She saw a beam of light from the wellhead.

Although the light only appeared for a moment, Xing could hear his own heartbeat again.

Not fake.

In those eyes that should have shown no emotion, there actually appeared a gleam of light that symbolized the changes in inner emotions!

The moment the world completely regained its color, Xing's consciousness returned to reality. She suddenly came to her senses, but Yuqing was no longer in front of her.

All the tourists around still remembered the moment when Xing called Yuqing, but this incident could not stir up much waves in the noisy museum. Within a few minutes, everyone stopped paying attention to Xing and started to visit the museum. Xing stood alone in the museum, and the tourists around him came and went like water, but they could not stir up any waves in Xing's heart.

The last words Yuqing left her emerged in her mind.

"Xing, don't worry, just like I told you in this city."

“All mysteries will be solved one by one during the journey, and that day is not far away.”

“So now, [please] walk steadily on the path under your feet, and when that day comes, you will know everything you want.”

"And I believe you too. If I ask you the same question again, you won't lie again."

Every word flowed into Xing's mind. She kept every word in mind, and her restless heart gradually calmed down.

Even though this time, she was so close to the truth she wanted, she still didn't get the answer.

However, she felt a peace she had never felt before.

The light that flashed in Yuqing's eyes and the last words she left were like a stimulant that pierced Xing's body. She would no longer be anxious because of her obsession with the "answer", nor would she be afraid of the consequences of Schrödinger's problem. She believed that all this would come to an end in the near future.

Of course, this shot of cardiac stimulant not only entered Xing's body, but was also injected into the [players].

All players who have reached this point will have the achievement icon appear on their screens.

Achievement obtained: Second first love.

[Ah! I'm heartbroken... Ah! I'm in love again! Sister Yuqing, my sister Yuqing, please take me away [crying.jpg]]

[Okay, okay, okay! I said, how could it be fake! Yuqing still has emotions! She must really love us! ]

[Whether it’s true or not, she is Yuqing, and that’s enough]

[Am I the only one who has discovered the key point? Yuqing has emphasized "journey" and "near future" more than once. I seem to understand something.]

【What do you understand? ! 】

[It is impossible that Mi Huyou would be so idle as to make such a large-scale easter egg for Yuqing and even make a whole achievement for it. There must be a deep meaning behind Lao Mi’s doing this.]

[What else could it mean? A companion mission, isn't this easter egg paving the way for Yuqing's companion mission? So when will Yuqing's companion mission come? I can't stand the spiciness! ]

[According to what Sister Xiaoyu said during her last live broadcast, there will be no peers of Yuqing in the short term, so 1.2 is unlikely, so the conservative estimate should be 1.3]

[Doesn't that mean I have to wait another two months? Huh? I can't stay in 1.1 for even a second! ! ]

[Thinking carefully, why do I feel that Mihoyo is preparing a big move for Yuqing's companions? How can a companion mission lay the groundwork like this? In the main story of Yaliluo, Yuqing was given a special role just to lay the groundwork for the companions. The nightmare that the pioneer had at the beginning of the Luofu storyline was probably related to Yuqing's companions, and the sword that Yuqing lost in Luofu was also related. Now there is another big easter egg? The main storyline doesn't need to lay the groundwork like this, right? ]

[I feel even more uncomfortable when you say that. I want to play Yuqing's companion mission now! ]

Well, it seems that everyone is in good spirits.

Outside the Beloberg Historical Museum, Yuqing leaned against a deserted corner, shaking the phantom of the Cosmic Cube in her hand. She looked at these memories from the [Player], but the smile on her face seemed a little dull.

I don’t know why, the memories of the [Player] are just as precious as before, but when I got these memories, Yuqing always felt that the joy in my heart was less.

"Are you worried about something? No, not at all..."

"It should be the effect of the homogenization of [memory]. The novelty is slowly fading. It's harmless..."

Yuqing raised her hand and took back the Cosmic Cube. She heard footsteps and looked up, only to see a tired face.

"Is there water?"

This was the first sentence Xier said after finding Yuqing.

Xier is now extremely busy. She has never thought that there is work more tiring than working in the underground fire.

"Give."

Yuqing picked up a bottle of purified water from the space station and handed it to Xier. Xier took the bottle without saying a word, unscrewed the cap and drank half of it in one gulp. Only after she had finished half the bottle of water did she finally feel alive again.

"Thank you." Xier slowly sat down against the wall. At this moment, she finally felt relieved and looked much more relaxed. "I can't be a volunteer for another day."

"What's wrong? I saw you were quite enthusiastic when you were introducing the exhibits in the downtown area to the tourists." Yuqing sat down next to Xier and handed her a bottle of sports drink. "And I heard from Natasha that you had a lot of fun the past few days."

"Gulp, gulp, gulp..." Xier drank the remaining half bottle of water in her hand, then took the drink handed over by Yuqing, took a sip, and then rolled her eyes to answer Yuqing's question, "Huh? Which eye of yours saw that I was happy?"

Yuqing smiled without saying anything, just staring at Xier. The smile on her face and the pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling gave Xier goose bumps all over her body. She quickly coughed twice and added a few more words:

"Ahem... I was very happy during the first two days. The residents of the Upper Town have never known much about the Lower Town, and of course we in the Lower Town are the same. This museum can be used to help both sides understand each other... I am responsible for the old objects in the Lower Town anyway, so I am happy to help them know more about our Lower Town."
