Chapter 87 True or False Date

Su Xi sank into the deep sea, and tracked down the glowing blue insect core in the turbid sea water.

She stretched out her hands to reach for the beautiful crystal core, and summoned a dexterous mechanical arm from the backpack of the mecha to help her steadily grab the huge crystal core that was half a person's height.

I looked up at the dark sea. I had just dived to a depth of 800 meters in one breath. How should I get up now?

Beep, beep—the smart interface in the helmet popped up automatically, and dark blue data flashed on the tiny light screen, informing her of the current sea pressure and oxygen reserve time.

Su Xi's eyes trembled slightly, and she selected the pupil vision recognition mode of the intelligent system, and countless selection menus unfolded -

At this moment, the girl in the deep sea sighed slightly, and she thought of Xiguang.

After a brief run-in with the mecha AI, EXO's AI quickly adjusted to the auxiliary mode that best suits Su Xi's current condition.

Instantly, the booster power pack switched to the mode of walking in the water, the orange-red micro energy turbine ignited, and the faint red light illuminated the turbid and dark underwater continental shelf.

She pushed her feet lightly on the reef, and like a light flashing in the darkness, the tiny orange light went straight to the still turbulent sea surface.

With the help of the powerful thrust, the tiny figure kept rising up and up again...

In the deep sea where everything was silent and only the sound of her own breathing could be heard, Su Xi was alert to the fact that the surrounding environment had quietly changed.

The originally turbid sea water began to clear up, and the originally dead and primitive ocean gradually appeared with beautiful fish schools shining with phosphorescence that were impossible to appear before, long floating transparent tube jellyfish, and anglerfish flashing by with "small lanterns" beside them...

Su Xi paused hesitantly, she turned off the main engine and looked around hesitantly.

At an inexplicable call, she suddenly looked up at the sea. A ray of beautiful sunlight shone through layers of sea water, and tiny halos of light scattered all around. The dark seabed became completely clear, a familiar and beautiful azure blue.

The sunlight gradually became stronger and stronger as it shone through the sea.

It's so strong that I can still smell the unique flavor of the tropical ocean...

Su Xi started the turbine engine again and suddenly rushed out of the sea!

The waves gradually scattered under the clear sky. Su Xi shook off the water droplets on her head, opened her eyes, and was completely stunned!

"Su Xi! Be careful!"

Bang--

A water volleyball hit her. She came to her senses and looked down. She was only wearing a one-piece sun-proof swimsuit. There was no EXO mecha exoskeleton underwater equipment. She just had snorkeling equipment hanging around her neck.

Here is——

Not far away, a square-faced, short-haired girl swam over, chased the volleyball back with a smile, and scolded her: "Stupid Xi! Catch the ball! Stop daydreaming!"

"Su Xi - I'm sorry, are you hurt?" another good friend shouted at her, her youthful and energetic voice floating in the warm sea breeze.

Then the square-faced girl picked up the ball and pulled her towards the shore.

Su Xi was pulled by her and staggered two steps. Then when the sea water just reached her calves, Su Xi stopped.

The square-faced girl pulled harder, but Su Xi just stood there without moving. The girl's back froze for a moment.

The sea breeze gradually died down.

"Okay," the square-faced girl slowly released Su Xi's hand, "You've always been the most opinionated among us, I don't want to care about you!"

She let go completely, without even looking back, and walked away holding the ball.

Su Xi opened her lips but said nothing. She just watched the girl blend into the crowd on the shore and watched the cheers from the jubilant crowd. They seemed to have found some fun games and started to call their companions who were playing sea sports to come ashore.

But the cheerful short-haired girl in the front never looked back. She waved to Su Xi with her back and joined the game being played on the shore.

Only a vague sentence floated in the sea breeze: "No matter where you are, Su Xi, you must take good care of yourself."

Su Xi blinked hard, taking back the liquid that she didn't know whether it was sea water or tears.

Here is the Earth.

Su Xi froze for a long time before she shifted her gaze away from the joyous crowd on the shore and slowly looked around.

The island. The coconut grove. The blue sky and white clouds. The dazzling and hot sunshine. The iconic fish-mouth-shaped reef fortress not far away...

This is Earth, this is an island in the east of the Anderman Sea. It is an indigenous island that is being developed. There are not many tourists, and the cost is cheap. Most of them are backpackers who are just looking for a good vacation.

This was a graduation trip for four people that she had planned, but it ended up not being so perfect.

"Su Xi, come quickly, your favorite salt-baked prawns are ready!"

Looking at the three friends who were having a barbecue on the beach, Su Xi blinked hard again and said tremblingly, "Okay."

But she never went there until the sea water gradually cooled down.

The sun is setting.

"Suxi."

A familiar voice called her, and Su Xi turned around. Her gentle mother was waiting for her on the shore with a big towel. She looked very young, having not yet experienced the hardships of life.

"Don't stay out for so long when you just learned how to snorkel. Mom will get worried."

"Come on, dry yourself and then we'll go eat."

Finally, tears welled up uncontrollably. No matter how hard I blinked, I couldn't hold back those uncontrollable tears.

My shoulders began to tremble.

But she knew it was fake. But she also knew it was real.

This is the most real memory. It was the extremely unforgettable and enjoyable long trip that our family took in a seaside town during the summer vacation of my second year of high school.

But how could she have forgotten everything since landing in this interstellar era? How could she think that as long as she "deliberately" forgot, she could live well in the new body?

"Su Xi? What's wrong?"

"Why are you crying? Did you get bitten by a jellyfish or something?"

"Let me see it!"

She asked anxiously again and again, facing the hands stretched out to her, with the waves rolling under her feet, Su Xi finally couldn't help but took a few anxious steps forward.

The sea water gradually receded from the calves to the ankles.

However, she couldn't go any further. She knew clearly that this was an illusion, but the emotions surging deep in her heart made her unable to help but move closer and closer...

"Su Xi, come home and have dinner."

Finally, her mother couldn't help herself and went into the water and came to her. Su Xi looked down and saw that the sea water had wet her mother's favorite pair of handmade cloth shoes. She wanted to say something, but only an incoherent sob came out.

Her mother held her with her soft yet slightly rough hands and whispered, "You don't like to come back after you go to college. Let me take a good look at you."

"If you encounter any difficulties while away from home, you must tell your family."

"Don't be so stubborn."

One sentence after another of admonition, a warm and dry towel covering my face, and such gentle wiping force.

All of this made Su Xi's memories, which had faded for more than 20 years, gradually regain their bright colors in this warm breeze that seemed real and fake.

In the cleansing of tears, the heart that has been confused since landing in another world is like dust falling to the ground.

Su Xi's spiritual world, the 'primordial soup' that was originally chaotic and unopened after her advancement, now suddenly became clear and distinct.

All the changes are also reflected truthfully in the current environment that seems real and fake.

The sky was rippling with strange ripples. She looked up at the sky above her head. That was her newly formed "spiritual ocean", a gorgeous and bright world. It was like the two ends of a mirror reflecting each other with this seemingly real and fake illusion.

No, or rather, the "spiritual ocean" above his head was even more vast and powerful. It was now gradually approaching this illusory world with a firm swallowing force.

Really.

How could I have thought that I had simply forgotten the past twenty years of my life? Su Xi suddenly covered her face and laughed. She whispered to herself:

'I am Su Xi, and that must be the Su Xi who has experienced more than 20 years of life on Earth.'

'The past is not a vague memory, nor is it a false memory that cannot be clearly determined whether it exists or not.'

The past is 'I'.

"Su Xi," the gentle figure of her mother gradually faded away, but the warm touch of her hand tightly held remained in her hand. The mother, whose figure was looming, choked up and said, "I know you are grown up and independent. But if you have time, remember to come home more often, okay?"

"Okay." Su Xi said crying.

Of course she remembered those words, which were her mother's last instructions to her when she chose to work in another place after graduation.

"I'm sorry, I always thought I had a long life ahead of me, with endless time and opportunities..."

But unexpectedly, what was left for the gray-haired mother in the end was a broken body after the car accident.

Unable to hold back her tears any longer, she looked at the figure that was almost disappearing, and the last string of her rationality snapped. Su Xi couldn't help but chase after him. The seawater only reached her ankles...

At this moment, a hot big hand grabbed her hand, and a low shout came from behind Su Xi: "Don't go!"

Su Xi paused for a moment, then turned around and saw the sun setting over the sea in the magnificent afterglow.

The tall figure of the man stood against the light. He pulled her into his arms and then lowered his head to look down at her.

He held her shoulders, her flaming hair fell on her cheeks, and he kissed her forehead before gently parting.

He said, "Don't go."

"You know, that's just the past."

"Yeah." Su Xi looked at the person in front of her carefully and replied softly, "Of course I know."

"Never dwell on the past, stay with me." The handsome man smiled at her and promised solemnly, "We will have a great future."

"I will never leave you again."

"I will always protect you and will never let you get hurt again."

Very sincere and touching love words, one after another.

Su Xi asked: "If you encounter a worm core incident similar to the 'Sun Swallow' again, and you need to make a choice and sacrifice, what will you do?"

The handsome and perfect man looked at her affectionately and murmured, "I'm sorry, I made a wrong decision at that time..."

Su Xi smiled and continued to ask: "Between 'me' and 'Empire', how do you choose?"

The red-haired alpha answered without hesitation: "Of course it's you."

However, Su Xi burst out laughing.

She took a half step back.
