Chapter 116 Chapter 116

For her, it was also true...

This is really meaningful.

The two looked at each other for a long time.

For Xia Meng, the answer was already obvious.

She was asking him, is the reality she had always believed in really reality?

And how did Luo Xunfei respond?

He replied that, for her, it was true.

Meaning, it's not the real world for other people?

So, what are the situations that are true for her but not for others?

Xia Meng had only one answer.

“Is this my mental picture?”

Her tone sounded calm.

Although it has a slightly rising ending tone, the whole sentence is a declarative sentence.

She was already very sure.

Luo Xunfei did not answer immediately, but looked up at her quietly with calm eyes.

It was as if there was a sense of relief, like the liberation of finally reaching the end after walking alone for many years.

"……yes."

Xia Meng lowered her eyes.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to be surprised, confused, or relieved like Luo Xunfei.

This doubt has been in her mind for a long time.

From the moment she woke up, countless people, things and events came to her face.

It was like a landslide or tsunami, leaving no room for her to stop or refuse.

Before, things happened one after another, and she was overwhelmed and had no extra energy to distinguish and explore the truth hidden behind the various doubts.

This time, Luo Xunfei pulled her into the world of retrospection.

She was completely confused at first, but later, the more she saw and experienced, the clearer her guess became.

Why did she never have any mental images after awakening?

Because she is already in the mental picture.

Why is her spiritual manifestation a little white mink?

Because she had a connection with the little white mink a long time ago.

Why is it that after she awakens, she can achieve an 80% match rate with all the Sentinels?

Because those sentinels were originally part of her mental picture.

Why is it that she is only a B-level guide, yet she can guide A-level and even S-level sentinels without any obstacles?

Because she was originally an S-level.

Why can her mental power change into any form at will?

Because in her mental picture, her existence itself is absolute.

There are still too many questions, and they are all answered at this moment.

Xia Meng has always been smart.

Once you have the answer, almost everything else becomes clear.

only……

There were still some questions, and the memories she had seen in the flashbacks were not enough.

She still had to wait and see what happened next.

She wanted to know what Herman's real purpose was.

She wanted to know what happened between her and Li Zhou later.

She also wanted to know, if the world she saw in flashback was the real reality, then why was she now trapped in her own mental picture?

This question is very important.

The mental landscape is a sentinel to the safe zone of the human psyche.

But few people get lost in their own mental picture.

Unless, like the mentally ill Sentinel guides she had met before, she had some mental or other problems.

And then there is…

If the Luo Xunfei in front of her is a person who has stepped from reality into her spiritual picture.

So, besides him?

Are there other people like him in this world?

Hermann?

Li Zhou?

Or someone else?

…

Xia Meng was silent for a long time.

Luo Xunfei thought she had given up asking further questions, but he saw her suddenly look up and stare at him, with a eager light flashing in her eyes.

The look was so bright that it seemed as if the words "try again" were written on his face.

She wanted to use Backtrack on him again!

Luo Xunfei: "..."

He was careless before and she took advantage of him. Did she think that he would be able to succeed the second time?

Luo Xunfei subconsciously took a half step back and cautiously kept his distance.

Backtracking requires physical contact.

He might have been accidentally touched and marked by her at some point before, but this time he wouldn't let her do it again.

In the end, Xia Meng didn't care about his retreat and smiled casually: "Do you think that if you run away, I won't be able to trace you back?"

Luo Xunfei was startled: "You really want to... wait."

Then he remembered that there should be a cooling-off period for retrospectives. Why did she sound as if she could do it again at any time?

"Could it be that... your backtracking doesn't have a cool-down period?"

Xia Meng lowered her eyes to look at her palm and said, "That should be it. I don't feel that kind of mental stagnation. I guess it's probably not the cooling period yet."

Luo Xunfei was a little surprised.

I understand a little bit.

Because she is S-class.

Because this is her world.

Just as Xia Meng was about to raise her hand, Luo Xunfei suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

Xia Meng paused, blinked, and said, "Are you trying to... delay time?"

Luo Xunfei smiled bitterly: "Is there any use in delaying? I know there is no need for me to delay. I just want to remind you."

Xia Meng: "Remind me of what?"

Luo Xunfei hesitated for a moment, then said hesitantly, "I have to confess something to you."

Xia Meng: "Just say it directly."

Luo Xunfei: "I'm sick..."

Xia Meng: “…”

For a moment, it was hard to tell whether he was confessing or making fun of himself.

Luo Xunfei coughed and said, "Mental illness."

Xia Meng raised her eyes: "Time Trek Syndrome?"

Luo Xunfei raised his eyebrows in surprise: "How... did you know?"

It shouldn't be.

Could it be that he discovered it from the memory he just recalled?

No, that was all she had just seen, he knew very well.

The amount of information in that scene should not be enough for her to make such an accurate judgment.

Xia Meng shrugged frankly: "I felt it. When you first dragged me into the flashback, I thought I was being dragged into the mental picture by some mental patient again."

Luo Xunfei: "..."

I suspect you are cursing, but I have no evidence.

Luo Xunfei sighed softly, lamenting that she was too sensitive. After being in contact with her for a long time, he could no longer hide anything in front of her.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel fortunate.

Fortunately, when he finally found her with the help of Hermann's power, he did not approach her rashly at the first time, but chose to prepare everything in a roundabout way and secretly, and collect all the memories he recalled.

Otherwise, his plan would never have been carried out smoothly, and it would have been impossible for her to see the complete memory.

Luo Xunfei nodded and said, "It is indeed time travel syndrome."

This is probably the aftereffect of retrospection.

He awakened early and his superpowers were born early.

When he was young, he was not able to control this kind of power, and he would always accidentally indulge in the memories of the sentry. As time went by, he began to have difficulty distinguishing between memory and reality, and sometimes he could not tell what day it was.

But he kept this secret well.

Not many people know about it.

Apart from his psychiatrist, there is only... Xia Meng.

Not this time.

It was before, when she was still an intern at Black Tower and he was the deputy director of the Black Tower's laboratory department.

At that time, he had just used the Backtracking Technique on Fan Xue. In order to find out Xia Meng's background, he also used it secretly on Mai Xi. Later, in order to obtain evidence in Fan Xue's case, he used it again on the new suspect Jiang Qiongran.

He used it three times in a short period of time, which caused him to become ill.

Mental power is out of control.

It almost dragged him into a chaotic mental picture.

Fortunately, Xia Meng found him and rescued him.

...Luo Xunfei quickly came back to his senses.

Now is not the time to reminisce about the past.

He looked at Xia Meng's eager face and said with a wry smile, "Honestly, if you want to see it, just wait for me to show you my sorted memories through recollection. Why do you have to force yourself to see my memories? I really won't lie to you."

Xia Meng shook her head and said, "I can't wait. Who knows when the second half of the flashback will come? Will it be half an hour later? Or half a day later? Besides, since those memories are real, it means that Bai Ye is real, the white film is real, and everything that happened later is also real. I can't let everything develop to the point of no return. I must stop it from happening as soon as possible."

Luo Xunfei looked at her deeply.

"And..." Xia Meng raised her eyes and looked at him clearly, "Everything in the flashback was too immersive, too real. I'm afraid I can't bear it."

This is the downside of being too empathetic.

She stands at the first-person perspective, and everything she sees and experiences will be reflected in her mind and body in an extremely realistic way.

Depression, pain, despair... these emotions would also crush her spirit uncontrollably.

She doesn't like it.

and.

A single perspective can easily lead to blindness.

She wanted to break away from this perspective and see the real truth through Luo Xunfei's eyes.

Xia Meng did not hide anything and told all the reasons.

After listening to this, Luo Xunfei finally relaxed.

She has a point.

He said, "I can show you, but I can't control what you see. Everything depends on you. Are you sure you can do it?"

Xia Meng smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm not sure."

Luo Xunfei was stunned: "Then you..."

Xia Meng said mischievously, "Then you should teach me. For your own safety, you have to teach me everything you know, right?"

Luo Xunfei: “…” It’s well-reasoned and cannot be refuted.

…

Xia Meng once again stepped into Luo Xunfei's memory.

This time, under Luo Xunfei's hands-on guidance, she made progress more easily.

Moreover, she consciously chose the memory she wanted to know the most - what was the connection between the White Night and Hermann, and what happened before the entire city of Beijing fell on November 28?

In Luo Xunfei's memory, November 25th was a sunny day.

It's a rare autumn day with clear and crisp weather.

The sky is blue and cloudless.

The security center of the Black Tower was in a state of panic.

Since the headquarters and the Beijing Tower formed a special operations team, a carpet search of black towers in China has been carried out.

In the following week, feedback was received from all over the country.

A map of China is displayed on the white wall of the conference room.

Every time a small white piece appears, Lao Wang will mark a red dot on the map.

After a week, the map was already densely packed with hundreds of red dots.

It's shocking when viewed from a distance.

Everyone in the Black Tower was in a panic at this time.

A large amount of manpower and material resources were deployed to intercept, round up, and pursue... However, all the deployments were in vain and achieved little results.

It seemed as if every time he was a step slower, the other party escaped or got there first.

Naturally, some people began to suspect that there was Bai Ye's accomplice in their action team, who was passing information to the outside world.

Lao Wang initially suspected it was Herman.

So, at the risk of offending people, in the subsequent operations, they left out the people from the headquarters and only used the special forces of the Beijing Tower to carry out the operation.

result……

Not only did it fail, but it also cost a lot of lives.

The special forces were either killed or injured.

The losses were heavy.

Until later.

Under Herman's deliberate guidance, Lao Wang, Li Zhou and others finally realized that the traitor hidden in the Seventh Team was Xia Meng.

Before the truth was revealed, it wasn't that no one had doubted it.

After all, her background and her acquaintance with Hermann are indisputable facts.

Her identity couldn't be more suspicious.

Only Li Zhou has been trying to protect her.

After repeated consideration, Wang Xiangyi also decided to trust her.

The result is predictable.

The moment all the clues and evidence pointed to Xia Meng, she was completely labeled a traitor.

She no longer had any reason to stay in Peking Tower.

There is no reason to stay with Li Zhou anymore.

So, before the people in the Beijing Tower reacted and decided to control her, she chose to disappear.

She disappeared from the Beijing Tower, and disappeared right under everyone's noses.

…

Looking back, countless fragments of memories flowed past Xia Meng's eyes like a river.

Xia Meng watched quietly.

From a third-person perspective, watch everything happen clearly.

She knew that Hermann was forcing her to make a choice.

He was forcing "her" to come to him.

Just like the Queen of Hearts at that time.

And what about "she"?

What will “she” do?

With such doubts, she reached out and picked up a corresponding fragment from the river.
