Chapter 54 Gently

In front of Tang Xin’s grave, with its “Alpenliebe” lollipop marker.

Lin Xian closed his eyes and pondered after hearing Du Yao's story. For a long time.

He took a deep breath. "I remember now." Du Yao was incredulous.

"You... you really remembered? Just a simple keyword, and you remembered the past with Tang Xin?" "Yes."

Lin Xian slowly opened his eyes. "Thank you, Long Yi." Tang Xin shook her head.

Tang Xin squinted and looked to the other side of the small fissure. Qi Zi

Gently, born in the Dragon Country's East Sea in 2222, her writing style is sharp, and her touch is moving, a natural-born word-crafting prodigy. She vows to use her virgin work, *Devouring Heavens Demon Emperor*, to get a contract, shock the literary world, and attain godhood.

"It seems that the so-called flash of inspiration you've been waiting for doesn't come from you, but from him."

Because of the canyon fissure, the original underground hibernation base was torn in two. Since that half yielded nothing, might as well check out the other half. "Huh—"

"Honestly, Lin Xian, I was already mentally prepared that you wouldn't remember anything about that lollipop." Began to think.

He searched thoroughly but couldn't find a fully operational hibernation pod.

"I've seen in the Eighth Dream Realm how Big-Face Cat wakes up a hibernation pod. The steps aren't complicated; I memorized them after seeing them twice." "That friend of yours, the class monitor, is a ruthless guy." "Holy crap."

"He... he even told her..."

"You don't need to be so graphic. I already have a picture in my mind." This kind of Qi Zi is either exclusive to great gods or standard for street writers; she's really aiming for an epic masterpiece! He took a deep breath—

For a moment, Tang Xin felt like he was in 2624, not 2004. "Huh?"

Tang Xin perked up again, flipping to the next page of the manuscript.

Hibernation can cause amnesia, but a lot of evidence shows that emotions are retained.

But then he saw...

The East Sea isn't an area prone to earthquakes, let alone where I am now, which should be within Fujian province. What kind of tectonic movement could form such a large fissure?

Long Yi put her hands together, prayed, and made a wish.

Now there's no landmark or elevator shaft above ground; I can't locate where the underground base is.

"It really isn't."

This is the unfamiliar underground hibernation base.

Du Yao stood there, stunned.

He found that the nameplate, made of indestructible hafnium alloy, had been smashed into the hibernation pod by a falling rock, leaving only half of it visible.

Lin Xian interrupted Tang Xin:

"Then I went to the convenience store to buy lollipops, seven mao apiece. I bought two. Later, because I gave one to Du Yao, I only had one left, so I tore it open and put it in my mouth, and I lied to Gao Yang, saying the price had gone up and the money was only enough to buy one."

"Because it was a profound memory, even a psychological shadow." Started to work.

"Too awesome."

"Long Yi explained it to him in such detail, and he didn't feel anything, but from the lollipop, thinking of Gao Yang, thinking of the unforgettable disgusting thing, and then thinking of Long Yi, he was immediately immersed and completely remembered everything he had forgotten."

Unsure.

Long Yi sighed.

He threw the hard drive from a white bone on the ground.

"The Super Disaster of 2600 was only 24 years ago; in this kind of environment, it's normal for bones to remain." He bent down.

He had hoped to find useful information in the storage cabinet. He clenched his fists.

"The key is to break through the field of neurocerebral science as soon as possible and create a neurocerebral electroshock helmet, which would be the greatest comfort for Du Yao."

"Yes."

Jump!

Tang Xin covered his forehead, feeling mentally polluted again:

Long Yi finally found a fully operational hibernation pod in the corner of the outermost wall!

"It's like this."

"The reason I have such a strong impression of Alpenliebe lollipops isn't because of Du Yao, but because Gao Yang did something that disgusted me so much that I still feel nauseous and have a vivid memory of it."

"A godsend."

Everywhere was collapsed rubble and walls; there wasn't a single intact hibernation pod in sight.

This isn't a natural cave.

I don't even have a small shovel, let alone dig dozens or hundreds of meters deep to find those hibernation bases.

"Gao Wen's neurocerebral electroshock helmet manuscript has already completed the external equipment; the only thing blocking it is the neurocerebral field; I don't know where to start or how to use electricity for stimulation." When you mentioned lollipops, the first thing I thought of wasn't Du Yao, but..." Checked the nameplate.

Tang Xin nodded.

This is an unpublished online novel!

He couldn't bear to read any further and glanced at the bottom left corner of the Qi Zi, seeing the final sentence labeled:

White mist began to appear on the glass of the hibernation pod.

Judging by the look of it, this heavy white metal object looks like a mobile hard drive. She really couldn't understand.

Why do online novels Long Yi read in middle school not dare to write Qi Zi? Isn't it better to jump directly into the plot at the beginning?

He looked up. "Real-life event?" No, it's not.

Even if it was a modern urban novel, it would be fine; at least it would provide some background information about the era. But this young lady, who also goes by the pen name Gently, is writing a xuanhuan novel; what's the point?

He hurriedly ran over. But.

What ancient name is that for a xuanhuan novel? "Goodbye, Motorcycle-kun."

Watching the face sleeping in the hibernation pod fluid under the extremely weak light:

Because the terrain was too steep, and the speed was too fast, plus driving while fatigued, Tang Xin noticed it too late. Alas.

Several beeping sounds, the warm yellow light inside the hibernation pod lit up, and the temperature of the hibernation pod filling fluid also rose.

This is a doomsday exclusive to humans, a world without humans.

Those thick vines provide convenience for me, even if the height of the fall is a little high.

As long as I can grab the vines, I can climb back up.

"Hmm, that's indeed a good idea: stimulate, associate memories, emotions... emotions!" Lin Xian said softly.

The interface is also a model that Long Yi has never seen. Broken, broken, broken. Tang Xin sincerely sighed.

"What a familiar name." Tang Xin gasped; this man is truly terrifying. So

But it looks like the damage is minor, horizontally and vertically, and it's uncertain if there are any survivors.

Everything is going smoothly. Unexpectedly.

But only, there are fewer humans. Ditch the bike!

However.

For parkour prince Long Yi, on the premise of being fearless and not afraid of death, climbing without safety measures is a basic operation.

Can it really be popular? He began to tell Lin Xian: "Somewhat tragic."

Standing beside the ravine that appeared out of nowhere in the plain, looking down.

Long Yi had become accustomed to driving on rough roads, always with the accelerator floored, but he never expected...

"Lost memories are really found through empathy and immersion."

"He even told her that eating a candy would make it feel better."

Can a living person really be found in this underground hibernation base in the fissure canyon?

Tang Xin innocently spread his hands.

Two large characters, sonorous and forceful, like a thunderbolt—

Lin Xian bent down, rearranged the bunch of lilies, and stood up.

Tang Xin knocked on the glass of the hibernation pod.

If everyone could leave behind a memory notebook, I could still investigate some information; now that all the equipment is destroyed, forget about it. *Devouring Heavens Demon Emperor* After that, I never ate a lollipop again; it was really too disgusting, so I said that this incident was a psychological shadow for me.

"The humans who died on the surface were either buried in the ground to decompose, or their bones were taken away by animals; at least a complete corpse, no, a complete skeleton, can be left in this broken underground hibernation base." Just

He quickly ran, shortening the straight-line distance, and carefully observed. Tang Xin opened his eyes wide:

"Gao Yang chased me around half the playground, pounced on me and knocked me down into the grass, and then, holy crap..."

Tang Xin could also feel the surface temperature of the glass slowly increasing.

"I understand. It's because that incident had too much of a mental impact on you, so whenever you see or hear the words 'Alpenliebe' lollipop, you have some kind of overreaction and immediately think of Gao Yang."

"Then Gao Yang directly pried open my mouth, took out the lollipop, shook it, and put it in his own mouth and sucked on it before leaving."

It's also a wasteland and chaos, and many hibernation pods were smashed by falling rocks. "But even so, even if the memory was lost at the time, the feeling of fear and emotion were retained. Psychological trauma... perhaps, we can start from this angle!"

Maybe it's a retro style. Opened his eyes!

"Alas."

"Living person!"

A huge, bottomless ravine suddenly appeared in the plain ahead, like a cracked canyon. "Holy crap!"

"So, from that point of view..." "Still not contracted?" "That kind of ravine obviously comes from very violent geological movement, most likely an earthquake."

This time, he really disgusted me. You just finished sucking, and he sucked. If he had wiped it clean, that would have been fine, but he directly put it in his mouth and licked it. At the time, sigh, I really felt...

A sense of defilement."

Walked closer and saw many white bones inside. Is there no hope?"

Before today, Long Yi called this magical phenomenon obsession. "People's memory search pattern is very vague. And forgetting is the brain's instinct and protection mechanism; as time goes by, people will inevitably forget many things. The more distant the memory, the more cleanly it is forgotten, and there is no sense of reality at all." Couldn't understand this memory mechanism:

This is... a real event from April 17, 2025? "Must try my luck." This wave is truly blessed by heaven. Gently

He looked incredulously at the manuscript that spanned 400 years, not knowing how to evaluate it.

"See you tomorrow."

"Hey, no, what era does this girl named Gently come from?" There, many vine plants grow, covering the entrance tightly, but careful observation makes it easy to distinguish that the other half of the underground hibernation base is indeed there.

He looked back again with some doubt. No mistake, she is indeed a girl born in 2222.

"But before, you clearly forgot everything, and even if Du Yao explained it so clearly, you couldn't remember. Why, only when you heard the words 'Alpenliebe' lollipop, could you remember it instantly?"

That's unbelievable!

As long as it's a living person, it's good. Living people are familiar. It has to be said that micro-nuclear batteries are really powerful.

"Just now, his prompt triggered my memories again, and that feeling of disgust came over me. Because the memory was too deep, I followed the image and thought backwards, and I remembered Du Yao's matter and the fact that she gave me a lollipop. The whole thing came back to me."

"What a little angel."

More like a modern underground base was torn apart from the middle, forcibly torn in half and broken in the canyon. 2

Going forward a few days, in the dream realm, Tang Xin still rode his motorcycle every day, exploring aimlessly.

But Long Yi could roughly understand and experience it. Tang Xin closed this street novel. Full of anticipation, he looked at the cover—

At the beginning, I thought it was a great god writer after reading the description in the front. Lin Xian listened and felt disgusted, revealing a contemptuous expression: Finally.

Tang Xin patiently turned another page. Long Yi read her name aloud.

When I finally found a good angle and saw the equipment inside, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. "What the heck?"

This is the biggest gain in months! Lin Xian didn't understand:

I stepped up, relying on arm strength to climb upwards, and finally entered the half of the hibernation base as I wished.

Tang Xin deflated.

Also to try his luck on the other side. Maybe.

Although he still slid down several meters before stabilizing himself, as long as he stabilized, the rest would be simple.

Heaven never disappoints those who put their heart into it. He suddenly thought of

The motorcycle that had accompanied him for countless days and nights plunged into the abyss ravine like a shooting star; it took a long time before the sound of landing came. There's actually a modern cave!

"It's necessary to thank Du Yao for giving us inspiration and allowing us to grasp that last straw." Demons, sects, four-foot divine weapons—

One story, based on real events. Tang Xin moved his hands and feet.

But it's not the end of the world for Earth, because everything is so peaceful and gentle, the sun is shining brightly, and there is vitality. Di di di di.

"It's time to wake up, little friend Gently! I'm really looking forward to how you, who have amnesia, will evaluate this *Devouring Heavens Demon Emperor*. Don't blush in a while."

Indeed very deep.

Without exception, all were ruined in the collapse, so naturally, there were no survivors. Before that, Tang Xin had indeed thought that there should be underground hibernation bases deep in the earth.

"Ah, no, it's a boy."

What Long Yi meant was, could he reactivate forgotten memories from those obsessions, emotions, and feelings through reverse stimulation?

That book...

"That was a physical education class. Gao Yang only had one yuan left of pocket money and gave it to me, saying, 'Let's buy two Alpenliebe lollipops; I'll treat you to one.'"

Tang Xin was stunned again.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if I die; I can just start over. With anticipation.

Lin Xian opened his eyes wide, stood up suddenly, and looked at Long Yi.

Half an hour passed.

If I didn't copy this epoch-making invention back, I really wouldn't be able to see a single living person in the Fourth Dream Realm. 2

After that.

Tang Xin was a little confused. He will completely open that door!

Nowadays, various clues are unclear, so I can only blame the Super Disaster of 2600 for now.

"That distance, I can jump across."

The light was very dim, and Tang Xin didn't see the facial features and the hair covered in the hairnet at first. It was indeed a boy, who looked very young, only eleven or twelve years old. "Gao Yang."

No mistake.

Turned towards the warm sun of early spring, leaving the fields where tender buds were sprouting. Tang Xin analyzed. This is the real end of the world. So

Doomsday.

In 2600, an unknown earthquake tore the earth apart, also exposing this underground hibernation base in front of us. The author's pen name: Gently

"Such a green past, why do you call it a psychological shadow? Is it because of Du Yao that you have such a deep memory of Alpenliebe lollipops?" Long Yi was dumbfounded. There were many hibernation pods inside. But not quite like it.

This is the lucky girl who survived a great disaster.

In the underground hibernation bases of the previous dream realms, we dug out Gao Wen, Girl No. 17, Smith, the unlucky guy, and Angelica. "Too incredible." "I'm also shocked." He looked at it again.

In this deserted dream realm, where he has been searching alone for months, Tang Xin would feel familiar even if he could find a living person named "Wooden Board."

She stood from a scientific point of view and couldn't quite understand it: "That's too disgusting! How dare he!" Long Yi frowned. "Indeed, that was the side door of the playground, not far from the small store in the corner of the school. I took off my school uniform there and wrapped it around Tang Xin's waist; then she squatted down in pain, and I gave her an Alpenliebe lollipop."

Her eyes hesitated:

Discovered.

Lin Xian didn't speak.

The eleven- or twelve-year-old boy named Gently in the hibernation pod...

"Then through Gao Yang, I constantly extended my memory, extended it, and extended it until finally, I unearthed the sealed memories about Long Yi." "Let's go back, Tang Xin."

Thanks to the countless life-and-death experiences in the First Dream Realm, Tang Xin decisively jumped out of the car and rolled several times on the ground before grabbing a rock and barely stopping. That little boy is really lucky. Squeak, squeak.

2222...

Long Yi was a little incoherent.

Almost, that falling rock would have smashed the hibernation pod glass, also turning you into a pile of white bones.

After that.

Tang Xin was a little dazed. Will completely open that big door!

Now, the various clues are unclear, so I can only first blame the Super Disaster of 2600.

"That distance, I can jump over."

The light is very dim. At first, Tang Xin couldn't see the features and the hair covered by the hair net. It was indeed a boy, who looked very young, only eleven or twelve years old. "Gao Yang."

No mistake.

Turned and walked towards the warm sun of early spring, leaving the fields where tender buds were sprouting. Tang Xin analyzed. This is the real apocalypse. So

Apocalypse.

In 2600, an unknown earthquake tore the earth apart, also exposing the underground hibernation base in front of us. The author's pen name: Gently
