The cold touch disappeared in an instant, and Yang Yiyi turned around, but there was no one in the room behind her.
But she believed that it was not her illusion just now, so she lowered her head and looked at the shadow beneath her.
After hesitating for a moment, she gently touched Xiaoye's head and said with a smile: "Thank you, Xiaoye, you have helped my sister a lot."
Xiaoye was stunned, then blushed, and said sheepishly: "Is there... is there? But I can't even remember how many people lived in the room... But now I remember clearly, there are four people living in the room!"
"
"Me, Xiaomeng, Xiaohu, Xiaoxiao..." She stretched out her fingers uncertainly, then nodded firmly, "Yes, Sister Yiyi, there are four of us!"
"I understand, you go pack your things first, by the way..." After thinking about it, Yang Yiyi reminded in a low voice, "Don't tell anyone else about this first."
"Oh...I know."
Xiaoye nodded hesitantly. Although she didn't know why Sister Yiyi asked this question and asked her to hide it from others, she still agreed.
After removing Xiao Ye, Yang Yiyi took a deep breath, walked into the child's room, and closed the door.
The moment she turned around, an expressionless man appeared on a small bed. He seemed to have been sitting there for a long time.
Although she had already guessed it, Bai Mo's sudden appearance still startled Yang Yiyi - this guy actually followed her all the way here, obviously because he was worried about her. Of course she was very happy in her heart, but her face was natural
It's impossible to show it.
So she turned her head and curled her lips and said, "Sneaky... what are you doing here?"
She vaguely guessed that something was wrong with the situation here, otherwise Bai Mo's gloomy character would not have suddenly appeared, so she deliberately lowered her voice.
As expected, Bai Mo's first words made her expression change drastically.
"If I don't show up, you won't even know when you will die."
"What do you mean?" Yang Yiyi was shocked, "Why did I die? Is there something wrong with the children?"
She is more concerned about the latter issue.
"Of course they have problems."
Bai Mo said calmly, "Otherwise, why do you think that everyone else died, but only four children were left, and you were able to bring them back unscathed?"
Yang Yiyi's heart sank - she had also suspected this before. She encountered a lot of troubles when she went to find the children, but the process of returning after finding the children was so smooth that it was unreal...
…
However, this was not really a doubt. After all, the danger was almost eliminated during her search for the child. It was normal for everything to be calm when she came back, so she didn't take it too seriously.
However, since Bai Mo suddenly mentioned this matter now, it shows that there is indeed a problem.
She will not doubt the other person's judgment.
Yang Yiyi quickly walked to the bed in front of Bai Mo and sat down, and quickly asked: "What's the problem? Has anything happened to the children?"
What she was most worried about at the moment was not whether she would die, because she was already safe after Bai Mo appeared. She didn't know where the confidence came from, but what she was most worried about at this moment was the problem of her children.
She promised Sister Miaomiao that she would send these children to the city. If something went wrong before then, she didn't know what to do.
Compared to her anxiety, Bai Mo seemed calm and calm, and said, "Didn't you guess something?"
Yang Yiyi's heart skipped a beat: "What are you referring to?"
"Like the number of children, like...why they weren't killed."
This guy obviously followed her all the way after they separated, so he knew everything that happened to him later. While Yang Yiyi felt warm in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "I don't want to guess, just tell me the conclusion!"
Bai Mo smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the children are fine."
Yang Yiyi was stunned for a moment.
Just listen to Bai Mo continue to say: "The reason why I followed you is not just because I want to help you, but also because I heard the name Bei Jiulin."
"Is there anything strange about this name?"
"Of course..." Bai Mo said mysteriously, "Because this is a name that has disappeared."
Yang Yiyi frowned: "The name that disappeared?"
"This is a record I saw in the Boundless Library."
Bai Mo said, "The specific time is not clear, but there once was a place called Beijiulin in a corner of this world. However, at that time it was not synonymous with weirdness, but a collection of all the beautiful things, which everyone was fascinated by.
It even reached the point where no one knew about it and no one knew about it.”
Yang Yiyi felt a little confused when she heard this: "Since it is a place that no one knows, it should leave a mark in history. How could this name disappear?"
You must know that even big-ass places can leave traces in history.
"You've actually become smarter."
Bai Mo glanced at her and said calmly, "Yes, it is such a well-known place, but it has not left any traces in history. It is only recorded in a book in the Wuji Library... Very
Weird, right?”
"Of course it's weird! Stop showing off, I want to hear the key points!"
Yang Yiyi glared at her fiercely, "What does it mean to become smarter? Does this mean that I wasn't smart before?"
Bai Mo ignored her, but said to himself: "Do you know that people actually have three meanings of death?"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Yang Yiyi was slightly startled: "I seem to have heard a little bit..."
Bai Mo looked at her for a while and said calmly: "The first is when the doctor announces your death. This is physiological death;"
"The second is when your family and friends start crying for you and hold a funeral for you. This is a social death;"
"The third kind of death is when the last person who remembers you leaves this world. When you are forgotten by everyone, you will say goodbye to this world completely."
"Has it been forgotten by everyone..."
I don't know why, but when she heard this sentence, Yang Yiyi felt inexplicably sad.
But she soon realized what the other party wanted to say, widened her eyes, and asked in an incredible tone: "Do you mean... Bei Jiulin is completely dead?"
Using death to describe a place is not appropriate, but Bai Mo still nodded.
"To be precise, that place is not completely dead. After all, there are only remaining records of it in the Infinite Library, so it is in a state of infinite near-death."
Yang Yiyi seemed to understand, and thought: "So when the name Bei Jiulin reappears, it means that it is resurrected, right?"
"Your understanding is much stronger than I thought."
Bai Mo seemed a little surprised, and did not give the other party time to get angry, and continued, "But to be more precise, a certain existence in Beijulin is resurrecting, and the changes in Beijulin are also related to him."
Sure enough, these inexplicable existences are involved again...
Yang Yiyi had been mentally prepared before, so she was not too surprised, so she wondered: "So someone killed this existence before and completely erased everyone's memory of him, hoping to completely erase him."
To the point of elimination?”
"No, you are wrong. He was not killed by others, but killed himself."
"Kill yourself?"
"That guy's ability is very strange and closely related to memory."
Bai Mo solemnly said, "His power seems to be linked to memory. Bei Jiulin is his former residence and one of the sources of his strength. Therefore, he has been expanding Bei Jiulin's influence. When Bei Jiulin reaches the point where everyone in the world
When he reached the level of knowledge, his power also reached its peak."
Yang Yiyi looked dull: "Getting power from memory, an unheard of ability..."
She knew that Bai Mo was a person from ten thousand years ago, so she had imagined what the world was like ten thousand years ago, but she really couldn't imagine it.
It's not because her imagination is not rich enough, but because she knows too little about that period of history, and the information she occasionally learns is too shocking. The more she pieces it together, the more unimaginable it becomes.
Bai Mo continued: "The records in the book are very vague. It only mentions that during that time, there was a big problem in the whole world. The world will die, everyone will face an unprecedented doomsday, and there is only one way to avoid this doomsday -
—”
"die."
Yang Yiyi accepted his words with a heavy heart.
Bai Mo was noncommittal.
An apocalypse that only death can escape... represents an era that was completely destroyed and no longer exists in anyone's memory.
"So in order to avoid that doomsday, the being in Beijiu Forest used a certain method to make everyone forget the memories related to him, so that he could reach death in the third sense, and he survived.
…”
"And the reappearance of Bei Jiulin means that the memories he left in the world will also be restored, so he is awakening. As for the medium of resurrection...it is among these four children, right?"
Yang Yiyi had roughly guessed the whole story.
"That's right."
Bai Modan said: "Since Bei Jiulin appeared, strange legends have been circulating. This is to let more people remember Bei Jiulin, thereby accelerating the process of that being's recovery. The reason why no one has ever really seen it is
He passed the so-called ghost, firstly because the opponent's strength has not yet recovered, and secondly because he was afraid of scaring people away, thus making Bei Jiulin gradually forgotten."
After a pause, he sighed softly, "Perhaps only those who have experienced the third kind of death can truly understand the fear of being forgotten."
Hearing these words, Yang Yiyi once again felt an inexplicable sadness.
Bai Mo continued: "According to my guess, that guy's strength has barely recovered to a sufficient level recently, so he started to revive himself."
Yang Yiyi asked in confusion: "He hasn't recovered yet?"
"Of course, there is almost no difference between his fake death and real death. Naturally, it is not an easy thing to come back to life."
Bai Mo explained, "He should be very happy that the group of people you know can live in the Beijiu Forest, because this allows him to finally find a medium that can remember him."
"Under the continued influence of his power, the group gradually remembered the three children as four children, and this was a good preparation for his one day recovery."
Yang Yiyi nodded. Sister Miaomiao did say that there were four children here before, but she only saw three beds. At first, she thought there was a child living alone in another room, but she did not find this after.
signs.
This shows that there were indeed only three children here at the beginning.
"I said, that guy's ability is related to memory. He can rely on memory to do many incredible things, including fake death or resurrection."
Bai Mo said, "Leaving the memory of the four children is only the first step. Next, in order to stabilize this memory, he set up many important memory anchor points to deepen the world's impression of him."
"So after accumulating strength for a period of time, he manipulated Bei Jiulin to take the child away and create a monster killing incident. As for the death of those protectors, it was to deepen the impact of this incident."
"I think according to that guy's original plan, he planned to wait until the parents of these children came back to rescue the children, so that he could blend in among the children, so that everyone could take away the impression of him from the illusory memory.
In order to achieve the initial recovery of the world - but what he didn't expect was that everyone else died, and in the end only you came."
"But this seems to be more in line with his thoughts, because you have never seen these three children. It is much easier to implant the memory of 'there are actually four children' into your mind, so that he has more spare energy.
Go do other things."
"What's up?"
"For example, making that vine allows you to watch a person die in pain, deepening your pain and anger - painful memories are often more profound, which is conducive to building his existence trajectory."
"Another example is spending part of your energy on yourself to make yourself stand out, so that you can remember him more deeply."
"Three children are too young, and their memories will be blurred, so you have to understand that you are the only one who can remember them now. It can be said that before leaving Beijulin, his life was completely involved with you.
, otherwise he can only accumulate strength and wait for the next recovery, so he will definitely try his best to make you remember him."
Let me remember him...
Yang Yiyi was stunned, and the figure of a child suddenly appeared in her heart, and she asked tentatively: "The person you are referring to...is Xiaoxiao?"
The first one to wake up, his eyes are as pure as glass, he is rare strong, and his memory is extremely outstanding. Some people can even identify the direction without any reference at all...
——This child really left a deep impression on her.
In comparison, even Sister Miaomiao's daughter Xiaoye didn't leave much of an impression on her.
And she suddenly remembered something. When she asked Han Xiao what his father was like in the cave, the other person seemed confused for a while. This was not in line with the behavior of a child with outstanding memory.
Xiaoxiao is very suspicious...
Bai Mo did not answer, but said with a smile: "You need to think about it yourself."
All in all, although some people want to use their own resurrection, fortunately the children are safe and sound. They can also be used as memory anchors. I don't think that guy will take action against them...
Yang Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly said suspiciously: "By the way, why did you say that I was about to die?"
——Since that guy’s resurrection is inseparable from him, why would he still want his own life before he tried his best to protect himself?
And she doesn’t know when she started to feel that something was wrong...
What's wrong...
"Of course you will die."
While thinking, Bai Mo's calm voice sounded.
"The moment you leave Beiju Forest, you will fall into death - death in every sense of the word."
