Chapter 106 CC and An Qing

Memories that don’t belong to this world?

Lin Xian heard this familiar word.

When I met CC for the last time in the first dream, CC once said that there were many fragments of memories in her mind that did not belong to her.

One memory is the "ONE PIECE Declaration" by a middle-aged man with long hair and a big beard...

No matter what, if you want to know the whole truth and the past, just come and open Lin Xian’s safe!
This is the only part of CC's memory fragments that has something to do with herself. She said that the voice of the long-haired and bearded man was very similar to hers.

That's it.

In the first dream, Lin Xian asked CC many times whether she recognized him and whether she had seen her own face.

CC’s answers were always firm.

No.

Even when a gun was pointed at his head, he spoke very firmly.

No.

but……

Why did CC of the second dream change his words directly?
She directly admitted that she had seen herself in the memory fragment.

and so……

Was it CC in the first dream who lied?
Or……

Is there another hidden story?
"Tell me exactly what happened."

Lin Xian took the initiative and asked, let's listen to what CC has to say first.

"It's just that my memory has been confused since I was a child." CC said softly:

"I can't describe the feeling. It's like there are a lot of memories in my mind that don't belong to me, but they are also the life I have experienced. It's like... another life in another world."

"I have never been able to figure out what these fragmented memory fragments are all about. They are all very real, and the girl in the memory is also me. But those people and those things, I am sure I have never seen or experienced them. Until-"

CC stared straight at Lin Xian:

"Until I met you today. There are things about you in my memory fragments."

"What is the specific plot?" Lin Xian asked.

"This memory is very short and fragmentary, but the general plot is... you, me, and Big Face Cat used a flamethrower to burn the safe, but it didn't burn in the end."

"This feeling is very strange... I know this is not something I have experienced, and it cannot happen in this real world. Although this memory fragment is very real in every aspect, my mind knows clearly that it is not real, which is very contradictory."

"But today, you actually showed up. And you look familiar to me. Can you tell me what that memory fragment is all about?"

Ok……

Lin Xian didn't say anything.

He was very surprised.

I had thought of many possibilities of CC having seen him before...but I never expected this to be the case!
In CC's mind in the second dream, a fragment of memory from the first dream suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
He looked down at the ants crawling out of the ant nest on the ground, watching their antennae collide with each other, and then enter another ant nest...

The "burning safe" plot that CC mentioned was indeed one of the countless reincarnation cycles in the first dream.

For Lin Xian, this was something that happened just a few days ago.

But according to CC, this fragment of memory has been in her mind since she was born.

She had always felt that this fragment of memory, like all other fragments of memory, was unreal, at least... in the world she now lived in, it was unreal.

but.

After seeing herself today, the idea she had always believed in was shaken.

Because she, a living person, jumped into reality from her imaginary memory fragments.

This may be a big shock to her.

"Hey, why don't you say something?"

CC elbowed Lin Xian and frowned:

"What on earth are these fragments of my broken memories? Do you know anything?"

Lin Xian raised his head and looked at CC:

"Then in your memory fragments, is there still the memory of the middle-aged man with long hair and a big beard telling you that all the past and the truth are in the safe?"

"Yes, you know a lot."

CC looked at Lin Xian in surprise:

"Do you know something else? Can you tell me the truth about these memory fragments?"

"Okay, but let me think about it first."

Lin Xian stretched out his hand and motioned CC to be quiet.

Then start summarizing your thoughts.

At present, one thing is certain:

[In CC's mind in the second dream, there is a plot that she actually experienced in the first dream. ]

This matter is unbelievable.

In the first dream, the collaboration between Lin Xian and CC, in which their relationship was the best and their favorability was the one when they burned the safe.

During that operation, everyone shared a common hatred of the enemy and united together in an unprecedented way.

Although the safe was not opened in the end.

But the trust and friendship between each other reached a peak, and CC was able to open his heart to me and even smiled at me for the first time.

Perhaps it is because of this fragment of memory...

That's why CC was so nice to me today and was willing to cooperate with my questions and answers.

But, then again.

The first dream had been repeated so many times, why was it that CC only had fragments of memory of the burning safe in his mind?
This is the question that Lin Xian can’t understand the most.

Not much to say.

There are five or six versions of the story between him and CC alone, each one is different.

Logically speaking, there is nothing special about this plot. Even from the perspective of time and space changes, there is no pattern to be found.

The time and space changes in the first dream happened many times, including the Rhine cat, Academician Gao Wen, the material of the safe... and so on. I discovered them clearly three times, and there may be many more that I haven't discovered.

Every time time and space changes, it will leave memory fragments in CC's mind.

Then there should be many fragments of memories about the first dream in her mind, not just this one.

Moreover, this only fragment of memory is also incomplete.

In the complete plot of that day, CC had already explained many things to himself.

But today I brought up the matter of the bearded man.

CC was still surprised that he knew this.

This means...

The only fragment of her memory was also incomplete.

This is also very strange.

Lin Xian couldn't figure out what the mechanism was.

"That's pretty much what I thought."

Lin Xian raised his head and looked at the black hand with the index finger extended above the full moon in the sky:
"According to my understanding, these memory fragments in your brain should come from other parallel time and space."

"No... Actually, the term parallel time and space is not quite accurate. It should be said that it comes from other time and space that have changed, or the time and space before the change."

"I can't explain the details to you, but I think you are right about one thing—"

Lin Xian lowered his head and looked at CC who was listening attentively:

"[These memories in your mind are indeed you in another world, and another life you experienced. They are all real.]"

"But why are these memories fragmented and incomplete, and why is it this memory... I still can't figure it out."

……

CC nodded after hearing this:
"I've thought so before, but I just lacked evidence. But after talking to you today... I think this might be the case you're talking about."

“In fact, this is why I came here.”

CC turned his head and looked at the wall of the garbage disposal plant in front of him, the steel wall that was hundreds of meters high, and the high-rise buildings of New Donghai City that reached into the clouds and could not be seen:

"I want to open that safe, to know the truth about it all, to know the past of it all, and to know what is going on with me."

Lin Xian also followed her gaze and looked at the neon buildings disappearing into the sky.

From this angle, you can't see the MX Twin Towers in the center of New Donghai City. But in Lin Xian's opinion... every building is no different from the MX Building.

They are equally mysterious, equally unpredictable, and equally uncomfortable.

"But isn't it too risky for you?"

Lin Xian turned his head and expressed his doubts:

"Just out of curiosity, just to find out a truth that has no impact, risking your life to open the safe... isn't that a bit too irrational?"

"maybe."

CC replied calmly:

“But I have to do it.”

She stared straight at the high wall of the garbage disposal plant. Her strong and clear eyes seemed to see through the wall, staring at the garbage trucks and safes that had not yet arrived:

"I am not here just out of curiosity. I have something very important to confirm. This matter is very important to me."

"Is it more important than life?" Lin Xian asked.

“More important than life.”

CC answered affirmatively without any hesitation:
"[The things in the safe...maybe they are the meaning of my life.]"

……

Lin Xian looked at CC, unable to figure out the riddle.

The contents of this safe...

Why is it becoming more and more confusing?

CC thinks the things in the safe belong to her.

Lin Xian felt that this safe was for him.

If we speculate based on the situation where both of them guessed correctly, this safe might be a safe that was saved and set with a password by oneself at some stage in the future, and the things inside were stored and given to CC.

But this doesn't make sense from the perspective of time logic.

CC's memory of birth and growth is complete. She should have been born into this world around 260X.

So when did I deposit it in the safe?

Could it be that I used a hibernation capsule or some other means to travel to the future?
What did you save for CC?
Could the middle-aged man with long hair and a big beard in CC’s memory really be himself?
He looked back.

Together with CC, I stared at the high walls of the garbage disposal plant and recalled the scene of the garbage truck unloading the hafnium alloy safe yesterday.

I guess the answers to these questions...

It is very likely that it is also hidden in that safe.

……

"Do you have any other questions?" Lin Xian looked at CC.

CC shook his head:
"It's your turn now. It's your turn to ask."

Lin Xian nodded.

He has a lot of questions to ask CC.

But the most important one is...

"CC."

Lin Xian looked through the Rhine Cat mask at Ultraman, who was so close yet 600 years apart, even across two time and space:
"[Your real name... is Chu Anqing?]"
