Doomsday Wonderland

Chapter 2426 Finale and Prelude

"How do you feel?"

Lin Sanjiu's nose was still choked with air, but her tears had stopped. She also didn't expect that she would cry so hard for a stranger in her dream. When she first heard Nuwa's question, she didn't even react - why should she ask? She was already sad just by looking at it, right?

Nuwa was very patient.

"My own abilities are about to create a world for you. How do you feel about it?"

[Flat World] is only a few minutes away from final completion...

As the dream faded away, Lin Sanjiu's mood gradually calmed down. She thought for a while and said with a nasal voice: "There is no sense of reality."

Nuwa looked at her and said nothing.

Lin Sanjiu also stayed quiet for a while, sniffing occasionally.

"When [Flat World] was last upgraded, it turned into a blank card. At that time, Yuan Xiangxi gave me an idea and asked me to draw a hair on the card to see if it would remove the card. After the transformation, it really turns into a piece of hair.

"I tried the hair, but it didn't work, but the ghost insisted that it was because of my poor painting skills... So I called the painter and asked him to draw a chocolate cake. I wanted to be as realistic as possible, but it didn't work."

The things in [Flat World] couldn't be called out for the time being, so she lifted up the hem of her vest and wiped her face in confusion.

"Later, when I met the enemy, I was imprisoned in the bubble space. Unexpectedly, I saw the chocolate cake in the bubble space... I thought about it for a long time and didn't know what it was about. What I drew , will randomly select a sub-space to come true? What’s the use of that?…Today, I finally understand.”

The chocolate cake came true in the bubble space because it had nowhere to go and could only turn into a real thing the next time Lin Sanjiu entered the sub-space.

When the [Flat World] changes qualitatively and becomes a vast, real world, all the "chocolate cakes" will naturally have a place to go.

"But, it's one thing to have seen chocolate cake, but it's another thing to see the world created by me." Lin Sanjiu still felt that everything was not real yet, and whispered: "No matter how many times I think about it, it will never be real." It feels like...I haven't woken up from a dream."

Nuwa actually smiled slightly - it was not a change in her skin and muscles, but a real smile that brought back memories.

"Yes. I felt the same way when I experienced my first qualitative change in ability."

Nuwa turns out to have more than one qualitatively changed ability? If they are all abilities of the same level as "creating the world", no wonder Lin Sanjiu couldn't even understand it before.

However, questions like how strong she is... seem to be very far away from me at the moment, like a story I heard occasionally in my previous life, and it doesn't matter if I forget it now.

"Ah," Lin Sanjiu raised her hands, looked at it, turned to Nuwa and said, "...it's done."

The qualitative change of [Flat World] ended quietly and normally without any wind or waves; there was neither a sudden enlightenment nor a sense of divinity looking down on mortals.

Even if she can create a world, she is still Lin Sanjiu.

Under the night, Nuwa leaned over. "how?"

Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at her hands on her legs for a while. After a few seconds, a drop of cool water hit her palms.

"I...I'm happy."

She whispered: "I understand everything...the specific shape of the Ark, the way to create a new world, and how to bring everyone back...I understand it all. So it is like this...It turns out to be like this..."

She couldn't help herself for a moment, leaning down and sinking into the rich and moist smell of grass - as if it was a metaphor for this apocalyptic world; even in such a dark and cruel night, there was still a little tenderness.

As if with great hesitation, Nuwa gently raised her hand, as if uncertain, and landed on Lin Sanjiu's shoulder.

He lifted it up again and dropped it again; twice, it turned out to be a pat on her shoulder.

"You must really want to know, right?" Lin Sanjiu got up and said with a smile while wiping away tears. "Let me call out today's [Flat World]—I want to tell you all the details. You have intuition about abilities, and maybe you can help me understand it better."

Nuwa's help is only a small part of the reason. The bigger reason is that she wants to use her own voice and actions to truly carve the "Ark" into the world - if she speaks it, it will be true, and from now on, the Ark will exist.

Under the dark night sky, a piece of white paper stood up silently on the grass beside the two of them.

It is nearly two people tall and more than one person wide; but apart from its size and its ability to stand upright, there seems to be nothing surprising about it.

"This..." Nuwa stared at it and whispered: "It's really a piece of paper?"

"yes."

Lin Sanjiu laughed. She never thought she would see Nuwa like this again. "To put it simply, what I can draw on white paper is no longer just objects."

She stretched out a hand and touched the new form of [Flat World] for the first time, her ark.

The white paper is cold, smooth, and flat; only as thin as paper, yet standing between heaven and earth like a mountain.

"Today's white paper is an undesigned chaotic space. If what falls on the paper is a speck of dust, then there is a speck of dust in the chaotic space.

“I can start from one piece of dust, and slowly add a second piece of dust, or a stone, or a piece of soil... As long as I take the time to shape it little by little, it can eventually become a universe containing countless galaxies and galaxies.

"I can create a room with words and pictures on this white paper, then the new world is just a room. If I slide the words and pictures on the paper aside, and add a A balcony connected to a room...Then the world is a room plus a balcony.

"I can add a corridor outside the door, or a sky outside the window. I can keep adding to the original foundation, because [the flat world] is infinite."

Yes, as long as she keeps writing new descriptions, her world is infinite and has no end.

"When its conditions are mature, it will also produce heavy rain and lightning, change the landform, and give birth to life. It will be a real world, not only the product of my ability. When the conditions for allowing human existence are met, even I can Think of it as a door into a new world."

Lin Sanjiu felt like she was standing in another dream and whispered: "Even after I die, that world will still truly exist in a corner of the universe forever and will not disappear with me."

"You need to have a certain understanding of the world in order to keep adding... No," Nuwa suddenly changed her mind, "Can you continue to 'create'? However, 'understanding' is not difficult."

"Yes, it seems that you understand its essence." Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but laugh, "Look, you used the word 'creation' instead of creation.

"You're right... If I can only build a 'world', no matter how big it is, it will still be just a space, an empty shell, not an ark. I still don't know the whereabouts of my relatives and friends, I don't know their fate, no Knowing how to bring them back... So the second quality of [Flat World] is what's really important to me and what makes it the Ark."

Nuwa nodded, looked at the white paper, and asked: "It is indeed very strange. Where does the second characteristic of this form... come from?"

"Ah, I haven't told you yet."

Lin Sanjiu stroked the white paper and whispered: "That memory is not mine. I have never even met the memory owner. It was when I experienced other people's memories and listened to the memories of the person in that person's memory. The past... was like a rabbit hole, layer by layer.

"The memory owner's name is Qiao Yuanji."

Lin Sanjiu briefly recounted the memory of Qiao Yuanji and Sakura Mizugan that he learned from Yaichi Liu's memory.

"When she finally left, she used a special item called [Story on Paper]. The way she left at the end of her life has always stayed in my mind and I can never forget it... For a long time, I always think of her involuntarily and don’t know whether to cry for her or laugh for her.”

His fingertips made a rustling sound as he rubbed the paper; it seemed that he was the one receiving the comfort and caress.

"My [Flat World] was probably inspired by [Stories Falling on Paper], which led to the current form of white paper. However, it is not the same as that item."

Nuwa raised her head and stared at the white paper. "When you put the story completely on paper, the new world you create will open a door in front of the protagonist of the story...right?"

"As expected of you."

Lin Sanjiu admired and whispered: "Things put down on paper will become part of the new world. When it comes to people, it will be slightly different... When I put what I know and everyone's experience and stories are written on paper, their fate will also be led to me, to the new world.

"No matter where they live, as long as they are alive, when the story catches up with them, this white paper will appear in front of them, forming a door. When they walk in, it is a new world. You see, the size of this paper, It looks a lot like a door, right? The so-called stepping onto the Ark... is to allow them to pass through the [Flat World] and enter a new world."

She thought of the sleeping goddess in the card library.

The goddess told everyone one by one at that time that when they saw the "door", they must walk in... It turned out to be a foreshadowing and prediction of the future.

What she wants to do from now on is clear.

"So as you said, in this case, the person I forgot... is very difficult."

Lin Sanjiu recalled that tired and heavy dream, as well as the black hair and silver earrings swaying in the wind.

"When I forgot about Lu Ze, I almost didn't feel it. After all, I only got along with him for a short period of time. But this time... it seemed that my soul was injured, but I didn't know it. When I saw him again, even if it was just in a dream , the memory is also desperately clamoring, wanting to come back."

She didn’t know how deep her bond was with that “mad dog” who was feared by everyone in the Twelve Worlds; she didn’t know whether he would be willing to walk in; she didn’t even know whether she would find him first or whether she would find him first. Death found him first...

All she knew was that she would never let go.

"I can't live without the Karma Museum. Libao should be the first person to come back to find me. When fighting with Oasis, Libao returned to his body once, so he knows where I am. It won't take long. , will separate another small bunch and come to me.

"He once interpreted my data, even though it was a long time ago...but that's okay. With the memory in that data, I at least have a place to start."

"It seems that you already know what kind of world you want to create?"

Lin Sanjiu thought about it and couldn't help but smile.

Things are so weird and interesting.

"Yes," she replied, "There is only one most suitable answer, right?"

Nuwa nodded, as if she understood what she meant without any explanation.

"I once said that my promise is divided into two parts. The first part is that you create the Ark...and now you have it. You should have thought about what the second part of my promise is, right?"

Lin Sanjiu was silent for a while.

"I don't need to write detailed memoirs of their lives to lead them to a new world. I just need to write down everything I know and try to follow their final footsteps - of course, only what I know. The final steps."

If she had finished writing about her journey with Bohemia now, then when she finished writing tonight, a door would have appeared in front of Bohemia who had wandered to nowhere.

"But this means that the later I finish it, the further their lives will go on alone, and the 'story' I wrote will be only a smaller part of it for them.

"If we use an analogy, the story I wrote on paper is a magnetic stone. This magnetic stone is actually a part of their lives. It only has 'magnetism' because it is related to me who created the new world. .The more they write, the bigger the magnet becomes and the easier it is to bring them into the new world.

"But if they live in a place I don't know for many years after tonight, then the magnetic stone I can write on will be a very small piece for them... and it can take them smoothly. To the new world? It will definitely be harder.

"What's more, what if their lives are in danger during the time I am writing? If it takes me nine or ten years to complete, but they die during this time, what will happen to [Flat World]?" Can it be called an ark?"

She said so much in one breath, but Nuwa was not impatient and still listened quietly.

Lin Sanjiu asked in a low voice: "So I guess, the second part of your promise... is 'time'?"

Nuwa smiled slowly.

"Yes. Have you noticed? It's been so long, but the morning has never come."

She took two steps away from the white paper, and the grass rustled in the night.

Lin Sanjiu was startled. Her mind was completely occupied by [Flat World], and after being reminded, she realized that it was indeed the morning that seemed to have come long ago, but night still shrouded the earth.

Countdown to energy delivery—00:54

Nuwa stopped, turned her back to Lin Sanjiu, looked at the light blue night sky, and said: "Consider it my blessing and thank you... I will do my best to serve you in the widest possible range. Catch the passage of time.”

Even though Lin Sanjiu had made a guess, she never expected such an answer. She couldn't help but take a breath and murmured, "Are you willing to freeze time for us? For how long...?"

"When I can no longer continue." Nuwa said calmly, "But even if I just stand here, my ability cannot cover every world in every layer of the universe. I will continue to embark on the journey, I will It is also a big challenge for me to stop time wherever I go.

"Oh, of course, you need that data body named Ji Shanqing to come to you, right? I will pay attention to it and let his time pass normally.

"You know what to do while I'm anchoring you, right?"

Lin Sanjiu laughed.

"Yes, I have to work hard to speed up the process, create the world, and finish the story." She whispered, "Thank you...I am very satisfied."

When Nuwa's time freeze ends, the new world she created must already have companions - by the time they finish writing tonight, they will be able to go home.

"No need to thank me. Speaking of which, I do need to thank you."

Under the misty moonlight, the moment Nuwa turned her head and looked at Lin Sanjiu, it seemed that she was still a human being with the same joys and sorrows.

"Perhaps I came to you as a subject for experimental observation... But now, you have given me a comfort that I did not expect."

"comfort?"

"There are still people like you among humans... When I think of this, I feel that the fact that I was once a human is not entirely a shame."

…Have you ever felt ashamed before?

Lin Sanjiu didn't quite understand it, but it didn't seem like he didn't understand it completely. The feeling of "being ashamed to be associated with someone" seemed to have occurred to her in the distant past.

However, that is no longer important.

When she raised her eyes and found that there was no one between the sky and the earth in front of her, Lin Sanjiu was not surprised.

Nuwa embarked on a journey... This moment was the time for her to take root for herself.

Countdown to energy delivery - suspended indefinitely.

For her, tomorrow would be a long, long time away; but that didn't matter.

When tomorrow's sunshine illuminates her, the grass, and Exodus, it will be a new world.

"Painter," Lin Sanjiu whispered, "I'm going to have to work hard for you next."

The artist, who had just been released from the card and was still confused, said "Ah" after hearing this - he was much more alert. As soon as he saw the huge white paper standing quietly between the sky and the earth, his eyes immediately became glued, as if he already knew , this is where he will paint.

"It's so wonderful...Have you seen this night a long time ago, Goddess?"

"Of course," the goddess turned her eyes to the side, as if she felt guilty. "From the unpredictability and changes of fate, I have already found a small path..."

"Just looking at you, I think you are unreliable." Lin Sanjiu commented.

The life coach sat cross-legged on the ground, nodded in sympathy, then suddenly raised his head, looked around and asked, "Eh? What's going on now?"

"It's time to create a world." Lin Sanjiu said softly. "But where to start?"

She knew that the people who were also in the Karma Museum included Lou Qin, Mather and Wu Yiliu; if she went to them now and showed them the new world, would they be willing to let go of their obsession?

Oh, no, their time has also been frozen. There is no point in looking for them...

So, start with the world around you? A lot of things did happen to her in the Karma Museum, including the human farm, the battle with Oasis... Even in the "One Hundred Thousand World Shift Dream", there was a message from Gong Daichi waiting for her to read.

"However, I always feel that it is convenient to start with the Karma Museum to create the world, but it is a bit confusing to record the various experiences along the way... Well, it would be great if the gift package is here. Is there a place to start that is both convenient and convenient? What about creating a world that is suitable for recording experiences?”

"Wait a minute," the life instructor was confused, "What world are you creating?"

Lin Sanjiu glanced at him.

"Of course it's the end of the world." She said with a smile. "I am about to create a new world through [Flat World]... In that world, I will first recreate every apocalyptic world I have experienced. Because only in this way can I make the 'door' appear In front of every partner on the road...it is the end of the world, but it is also our future home and paradise.

"When the story is finished, the apocalypse will be over. The world after that will be filled with infinite possibilities and infinite rebirths that all of us will continue to expand together.

"I know the last chapter of the story is tonight. But what about the beginning?"

She thought carefully for a moment.

"Eh...the most reasonable answer is to start from the beginning, right?"

Lin Sanjiu suddenly became energetic and called out to the painter: "Hey, do you know what McDonald's is?"

The painter was startled by the light in her eyes and quickly shook his head.

"Hey, it would be convenient if the gift package came earlier." Lin Sanjiu grunted, patted the painter's shoulder, and said: "It doesn't matter, I'll explain it to you in detail... I can also draw a picture for you, as long as you don't You think I'm not good at drawing. Oh, by the way, don't draw on my card yet. You get a piece of paper first. I think you can move it to the [Flat World] if it's qualified. The first location in the new world can't be I'll make you look different."

"Why draw Mai..." The life coach thought for a while without giving up, "Medrao?"

"Because the beginning of the story happened in McDonald's. In addition to paintings, text is also necessary."

Lin Sanjiu walked to the white paper in a few steps and sat down on the grass.

There is no need to actually hold a pen and write word by word. She just needs to form an idea in her mind and print it on a white paper.

"I'm going to start," she raised her head and announced loudly to the night sky, "Just wait for me! We will meet in the final chapter!"

"What's wrong with her?" The life mentor has not received an explanation yet, so he whispered to the goddess.

Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes and smiled.

The people who have passed away from this world will be remembered by her forever in this way; the path she has walked will be engraved in the new world; the people who are just parting for a while at this time will soon have a home to return to.

The first sentence has existed in her heart for a long time.

Words gradually appeared on the white paper.

"I feel like my boyfriend... wants to kill me."

Complete book -

There are so many reflections that I couldn’t help but shed tears when I finished writing the three words of the book... I won’t say more, I will write a chapter of reflections and post them.
