The Past of the Past (I)
(Chen Mengzhou's Boyhood)
Chen Mengzhou held a dark blue potion in her hand. It was a Neuron III induction potion. She had just stolen it from Dr. Adrian. Its main effect was memory recall... She wanted to check something.
When does the end of the world begin?
Does that memory of a bustling city really exist?
Implanting a false memory is easy. You don't even need supernatural powers, just a little hypnosis...
The Anchor is real, the dream is real, to a certain extent. Chronos... Time.
In one timeline, she lived an ordinary urban office worker's life; in another, she traveled through the apocalypse. Perhaps in yet another timeline... Chronos came because of her.
Chen Mengzhou, who has been busy all the time since he "traveled through time", finally has a chance to think carefully.
This medicine needed to be injected. Chen Mengzhou felt the dark blue medicine flowing through his veins...it began to take effect.
She became a shadow, a ghost from the future... traveling through time. She stopped and began to go back.
(The following are the memories of Chen Mengzhou. The young Chen Mengzhou had a physical body, but the current Chen Mengzhou is a ghost that cannot be seen.)
"Zhou Zhou, take the children and hide, quickly!" the middle-aged woman shouted anxiously. Chen Mengzhou answered naturally, took the two children and hid in the room, locking the door. Outside the door, the woman muttered nervously: "Kronos will bless us..."
Ghost Chen Mengzhou frowned slightly. Kronos showed up so early? And who was that middle-aged woman?
Why the blessing? Before the physical Chen Mengzhou could figure this out, he fell heavily to the ground, his head spinning. Was it an earthquake, a tornado, or something else? It shouldn't be... Chen Mengzhou remembered his geography teacher saying that H City was located in a certain area... In short, it wasn't prone to earthquakes.
Unless...this isn't H City.
The feeling of trembling... Ghost Chen Mengzhou was very familiar with this feeling. She had experienced it countless times in her future dreams. It was a sign of time and space disorder.
The corporeal Chen Mengzhou looked out the window. Shaking, spinning, a tall tower... a black and gray tower collapsed with a loud bang, sending up clouds of dust. londonbridgeisfallingdownfallingdownfallingdownlondonbridgeisfallingdownmyfairlady
Blood-red sky...
Weird, why are those two little ghosts so quiet? Chen Mengzhou turned around and saw the two little ghosts sitting side by side on the bed. This is the bedroom. They giggled and said, "Sister, don't look out the window~"
Why not, there's...
insect.
The window was open, and dozens—maybe hundreds—of bugs hung upside down from the screen. They were pitch black, had wings, and had poisonous stingers. Disgusting, and dangerous.
At that time, Chen Mengzhou probably didn't recognize them. This insect is called delirium, and it can invade people's dreams. So... this is a dream within a dream memory, a dream within a dream.
"Sister, go find mom—"
Yes, go find the "Mom" the children were talking about. This should be the middle-aged woman from earlier. Chen Mengzhou walked to the door, turned the doorknob, and opened it.
Chen Mengzhou was in a trance. Before her eyes was... her own home. She had just emerged from a bedroom. But why were those people in her home? ...The middle-aged woman was wandering aimlessly.
Chen Mengzhou ran into the living room, to her desk. A physics book lay spread out on the table, covered with her own notes: the double-slit interference experiment... The woman suddenly stopped running around and stood quietly on the balcony. Following her gaze, Chen Mengzhou saw the same bugs, crawling on the window screen, more numerous than in the bedroom... They were gnawing at the screen, already chewing a hole...
There was a glass of lemonade on the windowsill, and Chen Mengzhou casually threw it at the bug. Unfortunately, it didn't hit the bug, but instead splashed on a pedestrian, who cursed... Wait, isn't there an earthquake outside? Pedestrian...
The pedestrians, dressed in bulky black clothes, looked like insects. Shen Mengzhou suddenly understood why the woman was running around. She shook her hands and feet, trying to shake off the insects. Until... until Shen Mengzhou woke up in her bedroom. She glanced at the clock. It was five thirteen.
Chen Mengzhou closed her eyes again, but she couldn't sleep well. Finally, the alarm clock rang. Chen Mengzhou ran to the desk and picked up her schoolbag, only to find...her physics book had fallen on the desk.
The lemonade she had placed by the balcony was gone, and there were holes in the screen window.
The fusion of dreams and reality...Chen Mengzhou still possesses this ability now, but the connection between the so-called "future dream" and reality is far less strong. It's as if...it's just a remnant of the ability in the past.
Can a person's supernatural powers be changed?
......
Arriving at school, Chen Mengzhou was still immersed in her dream. She couldn't recall the facial features of the characters in the dream, but it didn't matter...
