Chapter 205 Congratulations, the stars and I are free
"Xingxing, the mission is over. Have you decided which world to visit? How about we go to the fairy tale planet first? I heard from the seniors that it is very beautiful there, very special..."
The round ball of light floated in the air in front of the little zombie, talking and leading the way to Xingxing.
They have to submit mission reports for these worlds to the boss of the General Administration.
Qiuqiu had prepared everything in advance. This time she just had to go through a process and get the leave note and transfer application approval from her boss.
Xingxing was not familiar with this road and had never actually seen what the boss of the General Administration looked like.
It was a little curious and a little expectant, but it felt more of a strange sense of loss.
Before setting off, Qiuqiu helped it unlock the memories of every past mission world. The huge impact of soul energy made its head feel dizzy all the way, as if countless memory fragments were mixed together and drilled into its head, trying desperately to integrate into its originally thin and tender soul.
Probably more than half an hour had passed since the start, and Xingxing had finally managed to integrate his huge and fragmented memories.
It remembered the warm sunflower father, the glowing tree mother, and the brother, sister, and grandfather...
The memories of each world are familiar yet strange, as if hundreds or thousands of years have passed, but the people in the memory are still alive, without any fading.
The moment she stepped into the General Administration and looked up to see the so-called "boss", Xingxing subconsciously abandoned all the chaotic and complicated memories in her mind, and finally stopped at those familiar and tender little faces.
It's the stars.
"...Do you know me?" the little zombie spoke suddenly. When Qiuqiu looked back blankly, it stared at the blurry and huge figure in front of it with its clear and clean silver-white eyes.
The figure moved, as if it was looking down at him. After a moment, the voice replied gently, "No, Xingxing, this is the first time we meet."
This time, Xingxing didn't need to speak again, as the other party had already begun to explain slowly.
"I believe you have already sensed the weight of your soul. Until this moment, your soul has been completely completed."
"You shouldn't have been born in that world, but humans' overly outstanding creativity and destructive power are always underestimated. They relied on the power of a few individuals to forcibly catalyze the birth of your existence, bringing disaster to their entire race and affecting other innocent lives on the same planet."
It was confusing, but Xingxing understood it immediately.
It knows that it is the product of a mysterious substance extracted from meteorites in outer space and combined with human genes. It was not even conceived in a human womb, but is one of the "fruits" nurtured in a nutrient dish.
Xingxing remembered his experimental number, 08.
It is the eighth "fruit" that has been ripened.
There are more than 8 fruits, far more than that.
But only No. 08 struggled to survive because of his special pair of eyes.
The other dead fruits, like No. 08, all had the same name.
They are all called stars.
The stars faded and disappeared one by one, and the star also wondered whether they would become real stars and secretly watch itself in the sky.
The stars never dreamed that they could live.
I never thought that there would be a day when I would meet them again.
But now, the mysterious boss in front of it, the controller of the General Administration of Space and Time, told it that different stars were hidden in the small mission worlds it visited, which were derived from novels.
And, when it knew nothing, it allowed one star after another to escape their originally predetermined fate, took back its separated soul energy, and allowed the stars to finally freely choose the life they wanted.
"Boss, did you hide them?" Xingxing raised her fair and tender little face, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the huge and blurry figure in front of her, her tone revealing a little excitement that could not be concealed.
It doesn't care at all about how miserable a fate the humans who once created and hurt it will face.
It just wants to know, is it the existence in front of it that makes the stars shine again?
There are so many stars...Does He hide them one by one?
Boss: “…”
The feeling of being called boss by a little guy...is really good!
The figure was silent for a moment, then nodded, with a hint of smile in his voice, "To be precise, you hid them."
I?
Xingxing looked up in confusion, not quite understanding.
Why doesn't it remember hiding from us?
The figure raised his hand and gently landed on top of Xingxing's head.
Xingxing did not feel the warmth and weight of the palm. Instead, it was like a faint and gentle breeze passing by, causing only his soft hair to move across his forehead.
"You hid them with your soul."
The figure said slowly, "Before you were discovered and found by the world consciousness, you hid the living stars in advance, and then used your own superpowers to create a catastrophe in the entire laboratory. The genetic virus leaked, and the organisms in the laboratory followed your orders to create chaos and flee outside. Only you did not escape."
"I'm actually very curious, why don't you run away?" The boss seemed to be confused about this as well, so he asked the confused little zombie back at this moment.
Xingxing didn't remember what He said at all, not a single recollection of it. But when she heard Him asking the question, she still stood there, holding the ball and thinking seriously.
After a long while, the child said softly, not particularly sure, "…Because if I run away, the stars won't be able to hide anymore, right?"
It does not remember the past, but it knows exactly what actions it will take.
So, the little zombie repeated softly but firmly: "The stars are good, I want them to keep shining, I am not afraid of death, I hope they can all live."
It clearly remembered the confusion and panic it felt when every familiar star was pushed away by the laboratory staff.
After a long and fruitless wait, the stars will definitely find a way to hide the stars that have not yet died.
But……
Where will it hide?
There was no need for the boss to tell Xingxing more about his past memories. The little zombie squatted on the ground holding the ball and began to think quietly.
Where is it hidden?
At that time, it was the empty Experiment No. 08 in the laboratory.
At that time, its supernatural powers were not very strong, and it knew nothing about the outside world. All its knowledge came from the communication and chatting with researchers in the laboratory.
So where could it hide the stars?
As he was thinking, the little zombie who was originally holding the ball raised his hand in a trance, and his soft fingertips gently touched his trembling eyelashes.
"Will I hide them in my eyes...?" It looked up and asked uncertainly, its little hands still gently placed on its once injured eyes.
It covered its eyes, hiding its silver-white pupils with its palms, and without needing the boss's answer, it reiterated its certainty of its guess.
"I will hide the stars in my eyes," it reiterated quietly but firmly.
Because at that time the stars had nothing, and the only thing they had was a pair of eyes that were completely different from other stars.
Silvery white eyes.
But, but...
How to hide it?
Xingxing looked at the figure in front of him blankly. His brain, which had just recovered its memory, was once again confused by his own logical chain.
Seeing this, the head of the General Administration couldn't help but chuckle and sigh, and gently reminded it: "There are so many worlds, and you have never thought about why only your eyes are special? Is it just a different color? Doesn't it have any other function?"
Star:"……"
The little zombie looked back in confusion.
Having lost its memory, it can't even empathize with its past self.
I don’t know. How should I know?
I only know that my eyes have been like this since I became conscious...
Qiuqiu was silent until now, and suddenly realized it earlier than Xingxing.
"I know!" It said loudly, flying out from Xingxing's palm, approaching the child's silver-white pupils, and its body was flashing with light-colored light. "Xingxing's eyes also have a power! It appeared earlier than Xingxing's supernatural power, but Xingxing has already used it, and then the bad guys destroyed his eyes and lost his memory, so Xingxing knows nothing! !"
Reminded by Qiuqiu, Xingxing slowly recalled the more distant memories. During the time when he became a little blind, he really knew nothing and had no memory at all. He didn't even know that he was an experimental subject.
However, it thought it had recovered all its memories after its advancement.
So there isn't any?
Xingxing thought about it, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his eyes. He still felt a little confused in his heart, but it seemed that he finally felt at ease as the emptiness and desolation were filled.
The human researcher who was responsible for recording his own data said: "Your eyes are too special. I will help you destroy them."
Later, she added: "Congratulations, you are free."
Xingxing’s memory of these two sentences is too deep.
But it was not until today that it realized that the reason why it remembered it so vividly was not only because of the pain that penetrated its bones at that time, but also because it really deserved this congratulation.
Congratulations, I and the stars are free.
The moment those special eyes were destroyed, the stars hidden in them were completely free. No one would ever discover their existence again, including the stars themselves.
"Because you used your greatest ability to hide them."
The figure seemed to recall the original scene, and sighed to the little zombie in front of him who was covering his eyes in a daze: "Time and Space Zombie King, you were born with the right to dominate your destiny, but you used your biggest trump card to hide and protect it."
The level zero little zombie's use of super-time and space abilities not only attracted the attention of the world consciousness, but also attracted the attention of the General Administration of Space and Time.
From that time on, He knew the existence of the stars.
"So I made a deal with the world consciousness."
“He” also squatted down in front of Xingxing and whispered to the zombie cub, which was still tiny after its memory was restored, “I exchanged you with the salvation system and world consciousness, but neither of us expected that fate would be more interesting than we imagined, full of surprises and miracles.”
So the salvation system that was originally traded to save the world was accidentally bound to the little zombies that were born to destroy the world.
