“Just now in the corridor, I was calling your name from behind, but you didn’t turn around.” Nan Zhu said seriously, “When you were talking to me just now, you kept staring at my mouth. Were you trying to read my lips?”
"I didn't see your lip movements when I was thinking with my head down, so I didn't hear you call me." Shi Yin's expression relaxed a little.
“Yes.” Nan Zhu bowed slightly to Shi Yin. “I’ll go get you the music box…”
“No need, I don’t need that this time,” Shi Yin refused. “Don’t give me that kind of thing, otherwise I won’t be able to fall into a deep sleep.”
Moreover, it's best not to sleep.
“You’ve crossed the line, Nanzhu.” Shi Yin’s expression was icy. “You’re just my secretary. Besides, I’m only helping you. We’re not really on the same side. You should keep your distance from me.”
After saying that, Shi Yin turned around and went into the room, closing the door and shutting everything out.
Shi Yin knew that she couldn't go out and continue giving orders right now.
Shi Yin walked towards the window. In the wall next to the window was an exquisite full-length mirror. An exquisite mask covered Shi Yin's entire face, except for the upper left corner, which was broken, revealing her forehead and left eye.
The entire mask, starting from the broken corner, was covered with fine, dense cracks like spider silk, and shattered completely as Shi Yin removed it.
Jade-white fragments scattered on the soft carpet without making a sound. Shi Yin looked indifferently at the person in the mirror.
No, that might no longer be considered human.
Or rather, only his exposed forehead and left eye were intact; the rest of his face was in a transparent, jelly-like state, with the outlines of his features vaguely visible, resembling a strange liquid.
Shi Yin took off her clothes, one piece at a time, and stood in front of the full-length mirror.
If anyone were present, they would probably be shocked. Shi Yin's body could no longer be considered human flesh; only her right arm and the left third of her face were still intact.
The bluish veins, like the veins of tree branches, support these translucent liquids, making one wonder if these translucent substances would simply scatter if they lost the support of these "branches".
Shi Yin raised her right arm, clenching and unclenching her fist.
She seemed quite satisfied. Shi Yin casually touched her body, which had become semi-transparent. As Shi Yin stroked it, the semi-transparent liquid rippled in circles.
With each ripple, a cacophony of sounds seemed to be heard, but unlike the agonizing wails, these seemed to be laughter and joy. The light patterns refracted by the lamplight faintly revealed the joyful and excited faces of the people.
"Stop talking."
Shi Yin covered her ears with her right hand. She couldn't use her left hand; it had become a torrent of memories that would only make her hear louder sounds.
I don't want to hear her wailing; it will disturb her mind and cause her pain.
I don't want to hear laughter either, because it will make her sink into despair and dwell on the past.
Her world should be silent; she should walk her own path to death alone.
Shi Yin lifted the carpet, and thankfully, the floor tiles underneath were clean. She then took off all her clothes and shoes, which were already stained with water.
It's not real water. This memory crystal won't soak the blanket like real water; it will just be absorbed. The rougher and softer the material, the more it will be absorbed.
It's very troublesome.
Therefore, Shi Yin chose to sleep in the corner.
"Knock knock knock".
There was a knock on the door, but no one came in immediately. It wasn't Nan Zhu or the Chief Commander; the other ordinary people and those who needed to awaken their abilities were probably still unconscious. So, who was knocking now...?
A very dangerous aura.
Shi Yin remained silent, not even in the mood to stand up.
The knocking stopped, and the presence outside the door vanished as well, as if anticipating that no one would open the door. The presence outside disappeared and reappeared inside.
Shi Yin sat on the ground without moving. She seemed to be in better condition. Half of her face had returned to normal, and every strand of her hair was emitting a blue light that adhered to her body.
"Shiyin, I remember now..." The black muzzle of the gun was pointed at Shiyin's temple.
Shi Yin turned around coldly and met Gu Changge's pained eyes.
"I remember now, you'll kill everyone, you'll kill everyone..." Gu Changge looked pained, clutching her forehead, veins bulging: "Shi Yin! Tell me, why weren't you chosen by the world! Is it what I saw!"
She lowered her head and sobbed. Shi Yin looked at the necklace on Gu Changge's chest, her eyes slightly cold.
This advanced space, where trust is placed and an anchor is planted, is really troublesome. It hinders the retrieval of memories. I should have known better than to give Gu Changge special treatment in the previous lives.
Shi Yin thought absentmindedly.
To combat the meteorites and asteroids, Toki exhausted too much of her power, and the dissipation of her memories allowed some people to possess those memories.
However, Shi Yin acted even faster, retrieval all the memories before anyone could react. Gu Changge was a bit surprised, though, because her space was a high-level space that Shi Yin had filtered out, which would act as a protective anchor point.
Therefore, Gu Changge probably has more than a hundred lifetimes of memories now, which explains why she is in so much pain.
"Shi Yin, speak up! Why did you lie to us!" Gu Changge pressed a gun against Shi Yin's temple.
In fact, because of the overwhelming amount of memories, Gu Changge is now overwhelmed and has almost lost her mind.
Shi Yin just stared indifferently at the crazed Gu Changge. At this moment, Gu Changge's mind went blank. She seemed to see herself killing Shi Yin, more than once.
With a tremor in his hand, Gu Changge instinctively dropped the gun.
“It’s not a wise thing to make eye contact with someone who has memory abilities.” Shi Yin remained sitting in the corner, not even glancing at Gu Changge directly. “The space allowed you to pass through the wall to see me, but you still don’t learn your lesson.”
"You cold-blooded, ruthless dictator!" Gu Changge gritted her teeth in anguish, tears streaming down her face. "You are...you are..."
Gu Changge's voice disappeared, and she fainted again.
A small ball of light in Shi Yin's hand emitted a strange halo. It was something that had been peeled off from Gu Changge and merged into Shi Yin's body as she moved.
Shi Yin snapped her fingers, and Gu Changge disappeared.
The world fell silent again. Shi Yin leaned against the wall. Her left hand had almost recovered, and the recovery was not slow. Shi Yin moved her fingers, and everything was normal.
"I suppose this guy is the thirty-second one to tell me that he can lead humanity to find hope." Shi Yin slowly let out a long sigh, it was hard to tell whether it was impatience or helplessness: "He's a little different from others, so he thinks he can lead humanity."
In my memory, countless guns were pointed at her, each one accusing her of ruthlessness and questioning her ability to lead humanity toward the light.
Hey, humanity is on the verge of extinction, we can't even survive, and you still care about whether the future is bright or not?
Even she couldn't defeat him, yet he claimed he would save the world. When the meteorite struck, some hid in air-raid shelters, while others ran to safe places. Why didn't anyone come with him?
"Sure enough, we should produce a proposal." Shi Yin muttered to herself casually, "Let these rebels who claim they can do it make a PowerPoint presentation on a ten-year plan, along with a detailed proposal, and then we can talk about me stepping down."
She has been reborn over a thousand times, made over a thousand PowerPoint presentations without complaint, and always submitted her assignments on time before doing her own thing. Yet this group of self-proclaimed protagonists just barged in.
No rules.
Forget it, let's check if these people's memories have been completely erased. We're still counting on them to do the work.
