Infinite Throne

   Chapter 428 The **** of this world...Xiao Xi? (2 in 1)

   After the event.

   Molly yawned.

   "Although the DNA has not been tested, the conclusion is basically this: You are no longer a human being."

  “…”

   "As for the further testing of the prismatic structure in the blood, I will give you an answer later... No hurry?"

"Not urgent."

   "That's OK." Molly quickly emptied the microscopic examination data on the computer, and stored the remaining blood of Yi Rin in a refrigerator, and said hurriedly: "Then I will go out to see my grandpa first."

   "Huh? Mo Rendi? What happened to Mo Rendi?"

  Irin noticed that Molly had changed into a set of clothes for going out. Apparently, he was just about to go out, but was intercepted by Yiren one step ahead.

   Molly waved her hand: "It shouldn't be a big deal, I just heard that Grandpa is feeling a little sick these days."

   "Uncomfortable? Impossible?"

   That old and strong old man will still be uncomfortable?

"What's impossible?...Wait a minute, what's your expression like? Do you think everyone is not a human being like you? My grandfather is a serious and pure human being, isn't it? Is it surprising to be uncomfortable occasionally? Very Strange?"

   "You haven't seen your grandfather so arrogant..."

  Irin muttered softly.

"What did you say?"

   Molly couldn't hear, and asked with pricked ears.

"nothing."

  Irin waved his hand, since Molly didn't hear it, he assumed he never said it.

"I guess, it should have been a while ago when I was discussing with the old man of the Zhu family. I told him a long time ago, and I am old, so what is the real deal with a group of old men? Go to the park well. Isn't it healthy to play gymnastics for the elderly or find a partner to do square dancing?"

  Irin also had a hard time imagining that Mo Rendi would be uncomfortable.

   After all, the impression that Mo Rendi has always given people is too awesome.

   That was the legendary old man who could climb Mount Everest for a picnic without equipment.

  Even though Irin survived the trial, there are many things I want to discuss with Molly.

   It can be seen that Molly looks so worried, so she can only put it aside for the time being.

   Regarding the bloodline matter, Irin was relieved after Molly came to the conclusion that she was "not a human being".

   As long as it seems stable for now, it's not a big problem.

The    self-healing ability is still there.

   It should be that under the influence of Ouranos, some changes have occurred in the body.

   It seems that before the next trial, Irin has one more thing to do.

   And after the trial, Ning You and Xiao Chuer sent greetings in the communication function respectively, as if they were not surprised that Yi Rin could leave the trial alive.

  Ning You vaguely tested whether Yi Rin played the "HE" ending alone.

  Irin naturally strongly denied it, and regretfully told them the specific experience and mental journey at that time.

  Ningyou and Xiao Chuer seem to believe it.

   After chatting a few words with the two "new friends", they ended the call respectively.

   The little tail left by "Uranos World" is finally a perfect end.

  …

  …

   After Molly left.

  Irin looked at the items in the storage space.

   "Dark Temple Drawings."

   "Mecarlo Pie."

   "There's still a warehouse full of crystals."

   "Death Revolver."

   These are all the props harvested in the trial.

   Among them, because it is a random reward for a D-rank evaluation, the effect of Mecaru pie... Forget it. He also ate a lot in Rab town, and there is nothing to say.

   "Dark Temple Drawings..."

  Irin scrutinized the design drawing, and suddenly came to mind on the back of the wind giant mythical beast, the corner of the temple displayed by the dark mist lingering in the depths, thoughtful.

   "This should be a deliberate reward from Uranus."

   "This is also the reward of the additional quest. In other words, this is most likely the most valuable reward in that world. After all, after accepting the additional quest, the difficulty of the quest has been directly increased to the Eternal Night level."

Currently.

   There are already two blueprint props in Yilin's bag.

   One is the props that Irin bought when the Void Merchant was discounting—【Blueprint of Time and Spirit Cabin】.

   The other one is the one in his hand—【Dark Temple Drawing】.

   "The world is a ship?"

  Irin pondered over the information that Ouranos had revealed.

   This concept is too macroscopic to imagine.

   The more he thought about it, the more confused Irin's mind became.

   In desperation, Yi Rin could only take out a blank piece of paper, draw a clue map on the paper at will, and use a scientific method to organize his thoughts.

   "In 2111, four towers descend."

  Irin drew four circles.

   "In 2125, I am gone."

   A timeline appeared on the paper.

   "In 2121, I came back. But my parents were gone, I was an orphan, and everything changed."

  Irin silently wrote the word "parents", and then drew a big "X" on it.

   "First of all, Ling Yiyi."

  Irin wrote Ling Yiyi's name and marked "01" next to it.

   And his own label is naturally "10".

   "The Ling Yiyi I know exists in another future."

   "The me Ling Yiyi knew existed in a past that I was not familiar with."

   "The handover of our memories is in the year of my rebirth."

   "In other words, the point in time when I came back is a key point."

   What is the time?

  The world, what is it?

ferry?

  The world is a ship?

   Messy clues intertwined.

  Irin could not come up with an answer.

   Then change your mind.

   "On July 8, 2121, Henry Zhang was gone, relieved, and heroic. ... Well, thank you, Henry Zhang."

  Irin marked a date on the paper, and silently gave a like for a long-dead friend.

   "If it's the butterfly effect, it doesn't make sense. It's impossible for Henry Zhang's death to kill my parents together. It's impossible to deduce this process."

  Irin closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

   Then write four words on the paper.

  —【Modify Cognition】.

   After these four words, there was a small question mark.

   Next is "Ghost Mountain, Resentment".

  Guiwushan gave another question mark.

   "Gotham City. Mission correction, two Jokers."

  Irin wrote the name of "Zhu Yun'er" in the circle of Gotham City, and then typed a red "X".

   "Haiting City, Zhao Yulong, Undead. And the Goddess Tower that was finally restored."

   "Caribbean, disqualified people."

   "Styx Junior High School, that hand."

   "Green Town, Green."

   "Litai City, Chimera."

   "By the way, and..."

  Irin suddenly remembered something, and wrote the names of "Gospel Club" and "White Shadow Club" on the timeline in front of "Ghost Mountain".

   The tip of the pen paused, and Yi Rin wrote "Dawning Religion" in the circles of Litai City again.

   At the end of the clue map, Irin wrote "Uranus" heavily.

   In the circle of Uranus, Iren marked the "destroyed world".

   After just ten minutes.

  Irin recalled the experience after his rebirth, and wrote down everything he couldn't figure out on the paper, and a complicated clue map was formed.

   "The world, what is it?"

   Looking at the complicated clue map, Irin felt that everything had returned to the original point.

   Suddenly.

   Yi Rin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pondered:

   "Assuming that the world of Uranus and the world I'm currently in are actually in an equal relationship..."

   "So the tower is equivalent to a passage to other worlds?"

   "boats, rivers, worlds, drawings..."

   A terrible guess gradually formed in Yi Rin's mind.

  Irin wrote another word in the center of the entire clue map.

-【god】.

   Just like every apostle, the prompt given by the initial contact with the "tower" is-【Do you believe in God? ].

   Believe it?

   "Suppose the apostles, in this way of reinforcement, can go far, far, far."

   "The attribute reaches 10, 100, or even 1000. What kind of realm can we finally reach?"

   "Become...God?"

   "This is the 'end' that Uranus called?"

"No." Irin shook her head again, quickly overturning the previous conclusion: "If Uranos is a 'god', it is obviously not the 'end', because her world was also destroyed by a higher existence. "

  What is there outside the world?

   According to the scientific worldview, outside the world is the universe, and outside the universe is a vaster universe, endless and magnificent.

   But since the emergence of the "forbidden zone", the pace of human exploration of the universe has come to an abrupt end.

   "Xiao Wu said that outside the world, there is a river."

  Irin slowly closed her eyes.

When    Oniwushan, because Irin's strength is still very low, he can't get in touch with the deeper existence.

   Gotham City and Caribbean World are the same.

   Ke Minghe Junior High School, the pale palm stretched out from behind the mirror;

   "Green" in Green Town;

   Ouranos in "Game World";

   These are obviously existences that go far beyond the category of "human beings".

   Assuming that every world has a detached existence, then the "reality" where Irin is now should also exist.

  I don't know how long it took.

  Thinking deeply, Irin unconsciously scratched the dead skin on her forehead.

  —This has become Irin's little habit.

  …

   "Xiao Xi can turn this book to the beginning and the middle. Sometimes Xiao Xi likes to turn to the end!"

   "The protagonist of this book, whether it is the past, the present, or the future, Xiaoxi can see it clearly anytime, anywhere!"

   "But sometimes, some books are not well written, and Xiaoxi is so angry that she tears it up, but she gets scolded by Mama!"

  …

  These three words suddenly flashed through Irin's mind.

   Yi Rin's pupils shrank suddenly, and after a moment of stupor, Yi Rin's expression was solemn, and she meticulously wrote a name next to "God".

  —"Xiao Xi".

  …

  …

   A few days later.

  Irin is alone.

   Back to Qingcheng.

   Obviously last time he thought he would never come back.

   The last time I came here, Yi Rin was still in a heavy heart because of the distortion of reality, and came to consult Xu Zhiyong about what he said about his parents.

   This time, Irin felt much more relaxed.

   "Huh? Are you the director?"

  Irin, under the guidance of other police officers, first walked into an office, then quickly exited, repeatedly confirming that it was the "Officer's Office", and then walked in again.

  Xu Zhiyong had a look of exhaustion on his face, and after a long time, Yi Rin teased.

   "Hey, you don't understand, it's so tiring to be the director! If you can choose, this director, it's not worth it!"

   "Then... do you want me to help?"

   "Ah this! No, no, I'll take it seriously!"

  Xu Zhiyong unscrewed the thermos cup on the table, and the smell of wolfberry and red dates wafted from the rising heat.

   "Congratulations, you've been promoted."

   "Hey, it's all about serving the people, serving the people."

   Xu Zhiyong took a big mouthful of wolfberry and red jujube water, straightened his hat, and laughed.

   After taking the position of director, he also understood a lot of things that he was not qualified to know in the past. After knowing the meaning behind Yi Rin, Xu Zhiyong had no pretence in front of Yi Rin, on the contrary, he had a bit of modesty.

  Yi Rin and Xu Zhiyong were in the "real" world, but they hadn't seen each other for only two months, and there were not many topics to talk about, so after a few words of greetings, Yi Rin said it with a smile.

   "Do you remember the time when a mentally ill person came here to make trouble?"

   "Well, remember!"

   "I want to see the surveillance video of the mall that day, is it still there?"

  Irin's request, Xu Zhiyong readily agreed.

"no problem!"

"pause!"

  I was watching the short video with Xu Zhiyong, her pupils shrank suddenly, making Xu Zhiyong press pause.

   Several small videos from different angles faithfully reproduce what happened in the mall at that time.

   "Go back a few frames."

   "Go back again."

"right here."

   In the video, it happened to freeze the scene of the "Xiao Xi" crying and looking for her mother.

But.

   "What happened? Is the file damaged?"

  Xu Zhiyong widened his eyes and looked at the blurred face on the video in confusion, it shouldn't be.

   Although the resolution of the camera used in the shopping mall is not too high, it is not so blurry that it looks like a thin code.

   This is a serious video!

   Serious video, what code?

   Not only Xiaoxi's face, but also her mother's face, which came to the little girl in a hurry, was strangely marked with a thin layer.

  The face after typing the code, except that it can be vaguely identified as a woman, it is impossible to identify who is who through face recognition.

  Irin took a deep breath.

   "It's weird, you wait a moment, I'll ask the Information Section to see if there is a way to restore it."

   Xu Zhiyong was also quite attentive to Yi Rin's request, and quickly got up to prepare to shake people.

   "No need."

  Irin shook his head and smiled.

"What?"

   "I've found what I want."

  Xu Zhiyong looked confused.

   Isn't this not found at all?

   Could it be that in this video, there are hidden little secrets that ordinary people can't see?

   Really deserves to be "that kind" of people.

   Xu Zhiyong was deeply moved.

   Since something happened to the previous director, he became the new director as a matter of course, and he has learned more secrets.

  This world is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

  Many cases that ordinary police can't solve will eventually be handed over to "special people" like Irin.

  —Special exception handling team.

   Of course, there is no secret hidden in the video.

   Even the clues Irin wanted to find were erased in this weird way.

"Do not."

  Irin smiled even deeper, thinking:

   "Accurately, it should be 'deliberately' to remind me that she is the kind of existence I guessed."

If Xiaoxi's true identity is really as Yilin guessed, it is the "god" hidden in the dark in this world, or other similar high-dimensional existence, or the level is so high that Yiren can't imagine "Apostle", it is impossible to leave such a video that is clearly coded and traceable.

   Her ability should be enough to "modify reality".

   Whether it is human cognition of her or memory, she can modify it to some extent.

  Since you can do that, why leave such a coded video?

   Wouldn’t it be easy and quick to simply erase everyone’s memory about this incident, or make this video disappear completely?

   Others do not say.

   Just to make this video evaporate from the world, even Oral can do it, "Xiao Xi", it is impossible not to do it.

   "Finally, I found the true master."

   After getting the answer, Irin felt a deep sense of powerlessness while rejoicing.

   A feeling of powerlessness that cannot even confirm "Who I am" in the face of a terrifying existence.

  Perhaps at such times, ordinary and ignorant human beings like Xu Zhiyong can truly be happy.

   As an old saying goes:

  Ignorance is the greatest happiness.

  …

   After coming out of the bureau, Xu Zhiyong was about to get off work, and warmly greeted Yi Rin to go to his house for a light meal.

   Yi Rin's enthusiasm for Xu Zhiyong made him laugh and cry: "Isn't it necessary?"

   "Hehehe-" Xu Zhiyong's face showed a smile like an old driver: "Don't you think that Lao Xu is trying to curry favor with you?"

"Uh…"

   Not to mention, Yi Rin's first reaction at that time was indeed: Why is Xu Zhiyong so vulgar.

"Wrong!" Xu Zhiyong shook his finger and said with a smile, "I was just thinking, in the future, in case, I mean in case...Bah, although it is a bit unlucky to say that, I still have to say it. In case I am in office, If you encounter something that can’t be solved, I can ask you for help!”

  It was originally the plan.

  Irin smiled: "Actually, if you don't eat this meal, if something happens to you, for the sake of your helping me, I will still help."

"Don't!" Xu Zhiyong was a little anxious: "If you don't eat this meal, it's not embarrassing! Anyway, it's just a meal, and it won't take much time. It just so happens that my daughter also rarely comes home. But I cooked a lot of good dishes!"

  Yi Linao However, after thinking about it, it was just out of the trial, and there was nothing special, so he came to his home with Xu Zhiyong.

  The place where he lives is an ordinary community. With Xu Zhiyong's salary, it is reasonable to live in such a place.

   "Yo! This is Rin! He looks so... simple!"

   A woman with a good figure but many traces of years left on her face, wearing an apron, smiled and opened the door to greet her.

  Irin: "...Auntie Hello. This is a greeting."

  Irin bought a box of milk on the side of the road and put it on the shoe cabinet by the door.

   "Old Xu said that there are distinguished guests who come to our house, and it is rare to come to our house, how can you be polite!"

   Mrs. Xu, complained in her mouth, but showed a happy expression on her face.

   "It's just a box of milk, it's not a bribe, it's not a bribe, just accept it, wife!" Xu Zhiyong laughed at himself, apparently rejecting many other "gifts".

  …

"My wife, isn't she beautiful?" The two sat on the sofa, Xu Zhiyong quietly pointed to his wife's back, and showed off, "I think back then, my wife was a famous flower in the police force! She has a gentle and virtuous personality, and also I don't know what kind of **** luck I had in the past to marry my wife! Hey!"

   Lao Xu quietly hammered his waist while showing off.

   This is the last stubbornness of a middle-aged man.

   As soon as he talked about his "glorious deeds", Xu Zhiyong couldn't stop, and kept showing off the cases he solved when he was young in front of Yi Rin.

  Xu Zhiyong's wife was busy in the kitchen, complaining from time to time, revealing the embarrassment of her own old Xu, and it was fun.

   Yi Rin sat in the living room for just half an hour, and Xu Zhiyong and his wife, each one said a word, covered his face with cold dog food, very helpless.

   But this atmosphere made Irin feel very relaxed.

   A faint warmth came spontaneously.

  I don't know when it started, this kind of firewood, rice, oil and salt, this kind of chatter, to Yi Rin, it has become something in another world.

   When Yi Rin pinpointed this strange emotion, he couldn't help laughing.

yes.

This is life.

  I don't know since when, even this ordinary "life" has become a luxury that he can only hope for.

   As an apostle, I am precarious, and I don’t even know if I can survive the next trial. For every apostle, this ordinary stability is the most expensive luxury.

   Of course, not every apostle will feel this way in this atmosphere.

   At least, Irin has.

   A table of colorful dishes dazzled Yi Rin.

  To be honest, this is something Molly can't do in the lab.

  When it was time for dinner, a girl in a pink home uniform jumped out of the room.

  The girl has a cute appearance, delicate facial features, and thick, wet lips. Similar to Xu Zhiyong's wife.

   It can be seen from the appearance of the girl that Xu Zhiyong said that his wife was a flower of the police force when she was young, not just bragging.

   Xu Zhiyong grabbed Yi Rin's shoulders and laughed: "My daughter, Xu Jingjing, she looks like me, pretty!"

  Irin heard the words, the corners of his mouth twitched. Aren't you tired of talking nonsense with your eyes open?

   "Come, come! Jinger, come over and give your uncle... er no, say hello to Brother Rin."

   "Pfft!" When Yi Rin heard the word "Uncle", she spit out the tea in her mouth.

  Xu An Jing looked at Yi Rin in surprise.

   After listening to Lao Xu's words, he rolled his eyes subconsciously and sneered, "Brother? Who is older and who is younger?"

   After saying that, Xu Jingjing stared straight at Yi Rin: "What year are you from?"

  Irin recalled his "life experience" in this timeline, with a bit of uncertainty in his tone: "2103?"

   "Oh, the post-zero generation." Xu Jingjing looked at Xu Zhiyong in a demonstrative manner: "Dad, see, let him call him sister."

   "Nonsense! People are more senior than you!"

   Xu Zhiyong stared.

   "It doesn't matter, it's all the same."

   It seems that Xu Zhiyong's daughter seems a little rebellious. Irin didn't care, and smiled and rounded up the court.

   Xu Zhiyong knew that Yi Rin's "identity" was very secret, and it was impossible to reveal the so-called "generation". At the moment, he smacked his lips helplessly, and sighed: "This period of rebellion is really long."

   "Jing'er, don't fool around!" Seeing this, Xu Zhiyong's wife brought green vegetables to the table, and also pretended to be sullen and reprimanded: "Xiao Lin is your father's guest. How do you usually teach you to be polite."

   "Cut, I'm still a guest."

  A trace of disdain flashed in Xu Jingjing's eyes, but he still kept his face calm and sat on his seat to eat.

   It seems that women are in charge of this family.

   Yi Rin watched his nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, but did not make a sound, but secretly mourned for Lao Xu for a few seconds.

   In the end, the rebellious girl didn't make a fuss.

  Look at Lao Xu's face.

   "Come, come, come! Let's go! It's not my old Xu bragging. In the bureau, my old Xu is notoriously massive, and those who can drink me down... are all transferred!"

   "Old Xu, isn't it agreed that the daughter, Hong, will be born when Jing'er gets married!" Mrs. Xu exclaimed in a low voice when she saw that Lao Xu took out the good wine that had been treasured for a long time.

   "It's alright, this wild boy didn't say a word, he's going to get married early!"

   "Drink less, drink less, you are getting old, really! You are not a child."

   Xu Jingjing: "…"

   觥 Chips staggered.

  Old Xu was promoted, and he didn't seem to be celebrating properly. He said a lot by drinking alcohol.

  Irin was also dizzy, and since he became an apostle, he had never tried drinking so much alcohol.

   Lao Xu was completely paralyzed and vomited.

  Yi Rin is also alright. However, Mrs. Xu was so enthusiastic that she could only stay overnight in Xu Zhiyong's guest room.

   After tossing Lao Xu, it was late at night.

   After taking a shower, Yi Rin passed by Lao Xu's room when he heard his wife complaining through the door.

   smiled, and Irin quickly climbed into bed and fell asleep.

   In fact, Yi Rin was able to drink "massive" Xu Zhiyong, not because he had a good amount of alcohol.

   But because, Irin's power attribute has far surpassed that of ordinary people. Even if he is not strengthened on the strength side, this physique is not comparable to ordinary people. How can Lao Xu, a mediocre director, compare with Yi Rin.

  “…”

   was speechless all night.

…speechless?

   "Hu...hu...hu..."

   Midnight.

  Irin's locked door was pushed open without a sound.

  A petite shadow came in, like a ghost.

  The lips of the coming person are plump and attractive, and there is a faint light in the darkness.

   A bright dagger, reflecting a icy dim light, slowly approached Irin's neck.

   (end of this chapter)
