Chapter 272 Epilogue - New World Arc (Sixty-Nine)
reality……
After undergoing multiple memory revisions, Yu Qingzhou was almost apprehensive about this word.
Once the truth has been overturned, it is very difficult to rebuild trust.
Who can guarantee that everything that exists won't be torn down and started over?
Since a more convincing truth has already existed, it's hard to guarantee there won't be a second, a third...
It can even be recursively applied indefinitely.
Trapped in a precarious, collapsing so-called reality, they gradually lose their ability to judge reality until they completely lose themselves and become madmen.
This possibility is slim, but not impossible.
Yu Qingzhou doesn't consider herself a person with a resilient character.
Otherwise, the boy wouldn't have remained completely unmoved when Dr. Shen extended an olive branch earlier.
Although the days spent in the ward were tedious and monotonous, there was a sense of security that could be seen from beginning to end.
Life and death have predetermined templates.
Yu Qingzhou could drift along like this until the day the end came.
As for the exact date and form, that's not something he needs to worry about... or can worry about.
But now, everything seems different.
He had thought that only death could take him away from that place.
However, today, Yu Qingzhou truly stands outside the ward, facing not the rumored cruel human experiments, but... a declaration about the real world.
This is absolutely absurd.
Could it be—
A strange thought flashed through Yu Qingzhou's mind.
The same was true for those people before; those horrific deaths did not actually occur.
The real ones are still alive and well somewhere in this world, like actors taking their final bows, each living their own lives...
Yu Qingzhou was in a daze for a moment, then suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Yes.
Because he... as Yu Qingzhou himself, committed real crimes.
If those people were really just actors, then the crimes they committed should not be established.
So what is the purpose of their existence?
Playing along with my own act?
Yu Qingzhou had read similar scenes in literary works.
They meticulously set up a reality show stage, all for the purpose of a grand live broadcast spanning a person's life from birth to death.
Yu Qingzhou didn't think anyone would be that bored.
Yu Qingzhou was already bored enough, so she couldn't imagine that there would be someone in the world so bored that they would find pleasure in observing her like this.
so……
What do you need me to do?
This was the first question Yu Qingzhou asked after being given the opportunity to ask a question.
Hearing this, Shen Yun was clearly surprised, and as she looked at the boy, she unconsciously raised one eyebrow.
“I thought you would be more curious about your current situation, why you came here, and what exactly happened.”
After a brief pause, Shen Yun leaned forward and, taking advantage of her height, looked down at the boy.
The way he looked so interested didn't seem like he was looking at a person, but rather like he was observing some interesting cat or dog.
This action carried a somewhat oppressive feel.
But Yu Qingzhou did not retreat; she simply stood still until the cold fragrance stopped right in front of her eyes before she slightly turned her head.
To avoid unnecessary collisions.
"I'll find out about that kind of thing when I have the chance," the boy replied truthfully.
There is no such thing as a thing without a reason.
Since Shen Yun would be waiting for him here, it's because, on some level, he is useful to this person.
Rather than knowing the so-called "truth of the world" at this stage, which would only increase inner turmoil, Yu Qingzhou wanted to clarify the other party's purpose for this trip.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yun smiled.
A faint smile spread across her face, which bore a striking resemblance to Dr. Shen's; she truly deserved the description of a face as beautiful as a peach blossom.
"You're more pragmatic than I imagined. And more interesting too."
Shen Yun looked into the boy's eyes and said slowly, "What should I do? I feel like I'm starting to miss you."
--what to do?
How could Yu Qingzhou possibly know such a thing?
However, at least from the young man's ambiguous questions, it can be inferred that he had other plans and that the other party was only there to see him off.
So, all I need to do is follow in the footsteps of the others and not cause any trouble along the way.
besides--
Unlike her first impression, Yu Qingzhou found that this copy of Dr. Shen seemed to laugh more, and when she laughed... she seemed more carefree.
"Are you thinking about that Dr. Shen from before?"
Shen Yun's words revealed what the young man was thinking. A hint of interest flashed in his slightly narrowed dark eyes, as if he was looking forward to the latter's possible flustered reaction.
However, Yu Qingzhou only paused slightly before looking directly at the young man's face and asking, "Is it not allowed?"
"……sure."
Shen Yun shrugged indifferently.
Then, in the instant the boy relaxed, he revealed a cryptic smile: "Anyway, it's all the same me."
"..."
