Chapter 43 Viewing the Memory Confession
Gu Yiliu gave the cobra a lot of food and instructed it to "share it with your friends appropriately."
The cobra was shocked by what she gave it. Putting aside everything else, just take the chickens for example; Gu Yiliu gave it an entire cartload.
The cobra was so moved that tears welled up in its eyes, which were truly glistening with tears.
"Hiss! Hiss!" Officer Gu, no one has ever been this kind to us before, you're the first!
"Hiss!" It really is Officer Gu. This is the first time a human has been so kind to us!
Even the little cobra said so. As it spoke, it began to wolf down the chicken.
Seeing its foolish appearance, the cobra became angry and raised its tail to strike the little cobra on the head. Just then, the little cobra, having swallowed a chicken that had reached its neck, choked on it. The chicken was stuck in its neck, and it couldn't swallow it down. The cobra gave it a disdainful look, then coiled its tail around it and shook it vigorously.
After spinning around a few times, the little cobra slowly spat out the chicken.
"Hiss hiss!" I ate it!
"..." The little cobra hadn't even caught its breath when it pitifully opened its mouth and bit the chicken it had just spat out, then quickly crawled to the side and slowly enjoyed it.
Gu Yiliu watched this scene with amusement. This commotion hadn't dispelled the cobra's sadness; in fact, it had made it worse. "Alright, alright, stop crying. You're such a big snake now, why are you still crying!"
Cobra: "Hiss!" Actually, I'm only 20 years old!
"20 years old? That's amazing!" Gu Yiliu genuinely thought it was incredible that Cobra had grown up to be 20. After reassuring Cobra, she said she was leaving.
As soon as Gu Yiliu left, some faint sounds came from the surrounding bushes, and soon after, several snakes crawled out of the bushes.
"Hiss hiss~" Big Head, you can't eat alone, give us a share.
The cobra's eyes narrowed, hissing, "I told you not to call me Big Head, if you want to eat me you have to call me Boss!"
"Okay, boss!"
cobra:"……"
"Hiss hiss!" Okay, boss, you're really something, knowing Officer Gu. With her around, we don't have to worry about getting through the winter!
The cobra glanced at the snake that spoke. To be honest, it looked down on snakes that weren't like it; they were ugly and lacked its charisma. However, considering that the other snake called it "boss," it arrogantly flicked its tongue.
"We can't let Officer Gu spend money. Your snake gallbladders are valuable. Prepare a few for Officer Gu."
The other snakes: "...Are you crazy? Why don't you give it your own gallbladder?!" Snake gallbladders can't be given to others! If you dig it out, you'll die!
The cobra's tail slapped against the grass, knocking down a patch of waist-high weeds and preventing other snakes from advancing further. "Whose snake den doesn't have dead snakes? There can't be none. Save their gallbladders for Officer Gu next time. Unless you eat them yourselves, they really are venomous snakes, they'll eat anything!"
"..." The other snakes were speechless. Had Big Head gotten venom into its brain? None of the snakes present had venom as potent as its infamous king of snakes! If Big Head considered itself a venomous snake, they wouldn't be fighting it for the prize. It really had no self-awareness!
"Hiss hiss!" When it comes to poison, who can out-poison you!
"Hiss hiss hiss!" Let's find something else for her. You can ask her to bring us food; we need food to hibernate.
The cobra gracefully flicked its tongue and slowly nodded, as if in agreement.
Its tail curved up and landed on the chicken that Gu Yiliu had given it. It gently curled one up, threw it out, and tossed it in front of a bamboo viper. With a haughty expression, it flicked its tongue and said, "Take it and go."
After saying that, he threw another snake, then another, and another...
Soon, all the snakes in front of it left. The cobra counted the remaining chickens and found that there were only 72 left. It happily swallowed three of them and then lazily lay down to sunbathe. It planned to wait for the baby cobra to return so that it could carry the chickens to its underground snake nest.
As for the other snakes wanting it to ask Officer Gu for food, it wasn't in a hurry. It would call for Officer Gu when they started to get anxious.
...
Gu Yiliu returned to the hotel where she was staying through the teleportation portal. She still had the snake skin that the cobra had given her. She took the bag to a traditional Chinese medicine shop and sold it for 200 yuan.
Gu Yiliu happily asked the system to give her a KFC roast chicken and a Coke.
He sighed and silently handed her the chicken.
After giving it to her, Dian Dian reminded her, "Yiliu, there's a cat following you."
Is it that mixed-breed cat?
Dian Dian hummed in agreement.
"Leave it for now, let it come to me on its own." The fact that it's hiding and following her now means it hasn't made up its mind yet. Gu Yiliu also wanted to know why it was running away.
Although he decided to leave it alone for the time being, Gu Yiliu placed a piece of the best-tasting chicken breast at the intersection where the cat was bound to follow him when he tried to shake it off.
After releasing her, he quickly hid.
I secretly observed that this fat cat suddenly stopped when it passed the chicken breast. It had already passed the chicken breast, but the aroma was so tempting that it went back, sniffed it again and again, and finally ate the chicken breast.
Gu Yiliu smiled. Seeing that it couldn't find her and darted into the greenery to hide, she went back to the hotel and went to sleep.
She wanted to see what her lost memories were like.
...
Gu Yiliu felt as if he were in a dream. He quickly skimmed through the original owner's memories from birth to her university graduation.
The original owner was a child who was highly anticipated. She didn't speak her first words until she was two years old. Her first words were "I don't want to talk," which shocked everyone. She really didn't speak for several years until she started elementary school. Some people bullied her because she didn't speak, saying she was mute. The original owner spoke for half an hour straight, making the little boy who bullied her cry.
"Who said I'm mute?"
"I'm speaking now, did you hear me?"
The little boy who had been bullying her was intimidated by her assertive attitude and nodded. Little Gu Yiliu glared at him, "I didn't hear you, speak louder!"
The little boy yelled, "I heard you!"
Xiao Gu cornered him against the wall and asked loudly, "Haven't you eaten? Why are you shouting so softly?"
Gu Yiliu stood next to little Gu Yiliu, smiling as she looked at the little face that resembled hers when she was a child. She felt that little Gu Yiliu not only looked like her, but also had a similar personality.
"I said I heard you!" the little boy shouted back, his eyes glistening with tears.
"Am I mute?" Xiao Gu's eyes were truly sharp, not at all like a child's. In the little boy's eyes, he was even more terrifying than a teacher.
He shook his head, crying.
Xiao Gu disdainfully distanced herself from him.
Gu Yiliu saw the little boy crying as he went to complain. Although Gu Yiliu admitted it, she also cried when she saw the little boy crying and blaming her.
In the end, the little boy was forced to apologize to Xiao Gu Yiliu. However, because of this, the little boy also became Xiao Gu Yiliu's little follower.
For a long time, Xiao Gu Yiliu was lively and cheerful, and was favored by many children. At first, Xiao Gu Yiliu took care of the children, but later it became the other children taking care of Xiao Gu Yiliu.
Because Xiao Gu was sick, after recovering he became less talkative. He would sit quietly, finish his work silently, and then go to sleep, spending 10 hours a day sleeping.
At first, the Gu family felt something was wrong, but after observing her, they found that Xiao Gu Yiliu was just quiet and not stupid, so they were relieved and assumed that she had returned to her quiet self from when she was a child.
He was quiet and loved to sleep, a state that continued until he went to university.
Even as an adult, Gu Yiliu still loves to sleep, but dark circles often appear under his eyes. Every time dark circles appear, Gu Yiliu feels that the original owner is very tired. At the same time, Gu Yiliu also discovered that the appearance of the grown-up Gu Yiliu is completely based on her. When she looks at the grown-up Gu Yiliu, it's like looking in a mirror.
"Is sleeping tiring?" Gu Yiliu watched from the side, completely baffled as to how the original owner of this body got those dark circles under her eyes.
With her doubts, Gu Yiliu continued reading until the night of the graduation banquet. She saw the original owner of this body get drunk after drinking a glass of wine, and then silently take the wine and go straight to the boys' table.
The original owner and several boys toasted each other, and the boys were all a little surprised, but they all drank. When it was Han Yi's turn, the original owner sat directly in Han Yi's lap, spilling the rest of the wine, but still brought the glass to Han Yi's lips.
Gu Yiliu bit her lip and looked at him awkwardly; she just felt inexplicably embarrassed.
Han Yi awkwardly dodged and tried to push her away, but the original owner of the body reached out and pressed him down. She cupped his face and kissed him directly, even biting him.
"Wow!"
The people around were stunned, and Gu Yiliu was also stunned.
Just then, Gu Yiliu noticed that there were two other people standing next to the original body—or rather, two phantoms.
She looked at them in shock. "Dian Dian? What are you doing here?"
But she didn't hear a word she said; it was just a memory.
Gu Yiliu looked at the face of the person next to Dian Dian and couldn't help but gasp. Even in her battle-damaged state, she could recognize that this person was wearing her face. It was her!
She looked at Gu Yiliu in Han Yi's arms again. She bit Han Yi's lip, and this time she didn't kiss him, but she was unwilling to get off Han Yi.
She held him in her arms, but her eyes were fixed on the system and her direction.
The human and the illusory figure looked at each other and smiled, then both turned to look at the system.
"I can only retain half of my memories. Which part do you want to keep?" Gu Yiliu heard the system ask a person and a phantom.
"It's about the apocalypse, isn't it? I've experienced both the apocalypse me and the me here."
Gu Yiliu looked at the person in Han Yi's arms and saw her nod to the system. No one around noticed her gesture.
Me in the apocalypse? Me here?
Gu Yiliu was startled by what she saw; she found it extremely strange.
"Ah!" she couldn't help but scream. Gu Yiliu couldn't take it anymore; she didn't want to watch anymore.
"Dian Dian!" Gu Yiliu sat up abruptly and found that the system was already sitting by the bed waiting for her.
Dian Dian sat very upright and greeted the guest very politely: "First-class."
Gu Yiliu, his face pale, demanded, "What's with that memory?!"
Dian Dian looked at her face and sighed, "You are her, and she is you. In your memories, did you see the original owner always looking like she couldn't get enough sleep? Actually, it's because you were fighting zombies in the apocalypse, and you rarely rested, so she was tired too."
"How could I be her?!" Gu Yiliu still didn't believe it. "We are clearly two different people!"
“Anyway, you are one person. I separated you and put you in two different places so that you are two people during the day and occasionally become one person at night,” Dian Dian said.
"Didn't you guess who I am? I am the world consciousness of the apocalypse. I am trying to save myself. I am focusing on everyone in the apocalypse who has the potential to save the world, including you."
I was almost there, but I ran out of power and was trapped. So I chose you and sent you here to help me regain my strength. But the apocalypse can't do without you. It's a world on the verge of collapse, and everyone is part of my plan. So I have to maintain the status quo and can't afford any mistakes. If anything goes wrong, we'll be disconnected, and even I won't be able to recover.
