Chapter 259
decoding?
Shona crossed her hands and tilted her head, not wanting to understand the meaning of this word.
"And, Will? Why is it Little Will's data? Where did that woman Treya throw me? Isn't this her dungeon?"
After Xiuna heard this, she quickly had some "guesses" in her mind.
Since demons are entities that control emotions, memories and contracts, is there a possibility here...
Was it Will's memory that she extracted?
If so, wouldn't it be possible to see something very cute?
Like Will in newborn baby form?
For example, Will was super serious when he first wrote her that letter?
For example, when he was still in school, Will was bullied to the point of crying?
But, in the next moment, she was clearly just standing there, but the white scene around her began to move crazily and quickly——
These scenes have something like "photos" printed on them, but they move very fast, and the continuous still "photos" move at high speed in front of Shona's eyes.
"It should be just a still picture, but if it moves at this speed, it becomes a dynamic picture...?"
At the same time, a "language" that Shona couldn't understand was being played throughout the space.
"▆▆W▆▆Chuang▆▆▆Yige▆▆▆..."
The reason why she was able to recognize that this was "language" was because she could hear that the pronunciation had some regularity and was not a series of "garbled characters".
"It's normal to hear unintelligible languages in the dungeon. But...if this is Will's memory, why are there so many brand-new languages that I don't understand?"
She is very confident!
Although she has never communicated with others face to face, she has learned at least four or five languages through books. This is the first time she has seen a brand new language.
She remained calm, folded her hands, and stared very, very, very carefully at every "photo" that flashed before her eyes.
"Can't see clearly, will Will's memory be so blurry?"
It's different from what Shona thought.
She didn't see "baby" Will.
You can't even see the picture above clearly.
The clarity of these "photos" was worrying. She could only see the "colors" and "figures" on most of them, let alone recognize them.
only……
These colors and figures gave Shona a "strange" feeling, as if they didn't exist in this world.
"If it were my memory, from the time I came to this world to now... it should be very clear."
After saying this to herself, she paused.
"Ah hahaha, that's right. After all, I have no memory before the age of thirteen, and I have no way of knowing how an ordinary person recalls his childhood."
but……
suddenly...
Countless flashing photos stopped on a certain one——
The noisy sounds around him also stopped at this moment.
It was like the ending of the last page of a book suddenly reversed when she was browsing it quickly, so this "ending" would stay in front of her for a long time.
"Um?"
The place where this "photo" is located is very large, like a four-meter-high wall standing in front of Shona.
above……
It was a "painting" that seemed to be only a rough draft. Compared with other photos Shona had seen, it was unexpectedly very clear.
The girl with black hair and eyes, but slightly messy lines, held a dagger in one hand, pointing it at her neck. The dagger in the other hand was facing the camera, and the light of the knife was shining.
"..."
Shona's mind began to spin rapidly——
Although it is just a "drawing", it seems to have only a few rough strokes, and even the expression is only an outline.
but……
She recognized it instantly.
"This is...me?"
The moment she said these words, strange sounds sounded around her.
Dong dong dong dong dong dong——
Heartbeat.
The sound of intense heartbeats came from the whole room, but Xiuna could tell that this heartbeat was not normal. It was very "disordered" and kept accelerating...
Accompanied by her heartbeat was a language she didn't understand at all, as if she was reciting a three-syllable "word".
"▆▆▆, ▆▆▆...▆▆▆!"
As if some "accident" was accelerating, the entire screen began to shake violently.
bite--
"What is this sound?"
A bell-like sound sounded, and when she finished speaking, the white space suddenly turned off the lights, causing her to fall into "darkness" for an instant.
"..."
Although she couldn't see or even feel anything, she didn't move or do anything.
Just stood there.
"Don't worry, it should light up in a while."
For some reason, when she knew that this was "Will's" memory, she still held the thought that this was a dungeon after all, and super monsters might appear there, and she remained vigilant.
But when she saw the unfinished painting, which looked like a "draft", she became very "reassured".
She felt that standing here, nothing would dare to do anything to her again.
Extraordinarily "safe".
"Wow--"
Finally, she waited, the baby's cry.
The black space where she stood, like a newborn child opening its eyes, opened a "hole" from a distant direction like the horizon.
Then, she was in a complete room, and what she saw before her eyes seemed to be restored to the scene in her memory.
The whole room looks more luxurious, like a house where only "nobles" live. Combined with the baby's cry I heard before, this should be...
Where Will was born.
That--
Sure enough, she turned around and saw the "child" lying in a small crib.
"Little little little little little little Will—!"
But he neither cried nor fussed, and his dark blue eyes kept spinning, as if he was trying his best to obtain information about "this world".
"Okay, it seems like you can't see me. That's right. This is 'memory' and not the past, so I can't interfere with you."
"Master, I'm sorry. We tried our best, but Madam..."
The doctor standing next to Will spoke "behind" Shona. From this moment on, Shona was able to understand the words in her memory.
"Wait... Could it be..."
She turned her head and saw a man with light blond hair and gold-rimmed glasses standing behind her.
"There is no doubt...Carver System. However, he is much younger."
Of course, there will be no adventurer who does not know the president of the association. Especially in this age of photos, he is a star.
"Master, please forgive me."
However, although I can understand what they are saying, the shape of their mouths is a bit off. Upon closer inspection, the positions of several people in the room were a bit strange.
Like, Carver was floating on top of the chair, and the doctor was sitting on the crib rail, or something like that.
It's like listening to someone else's retelling later, then putting the people present into a seemingly correct scene, and then filling in the words.
"It doesn't matter. I came back just to see her for the last time."
Carver's tone was particularly cold.
"As for him—let's call him Will. After all, she wants this child to survive on his own determination and will."
He didn't hesitate at all when he picked the name. After saying this, he turned around without any nostalgia.
"I have other things to go on a business trip, and I'll leave them to you to take care of."
"...It makes people feel a little uncomfortable."
Crossing her arms, Shona stared at Carver's back.
When Shona was investigating the System family, she heard that there was actually only Will, the son of Carver's current wife. But she also died in childbirth. Since then, Carver has not only had no children, but has even lost contact with the women around him.
but……
I don’t know if it’s because this is Will’s memory, but in Shona’s opinion, Carver’s mood is very abnormal.
If he really loved his wife, shouldn't he be sad when she died in childbirth?
If he was just trying to show off his affectionate persona, then he should at least take an excited look at his child, right?
but……
In this memory, Shona could only see... the "numbness" in him. It seems that he has no emotion for this matter, and some are just...
"Just go through it and get through it. Well...that's the mentality he had."
Before she could think about why, the room she was standing in began to "rotate" rapidly.
Just like the photos just played, some are blurry and some are clear, scene by scene is like a stage play, showing her how little Will learned to stand, walk, and speak, until he was four or five years old... …
At this point, Shouna can be sure of one thing——
Memories are played in "chronological order".
It's not a messy mess.
The fuzzy parts are probably memories that Will doesn't think are important, and the clear parts... For example, when he used acceleration magic for the first time in winter, he fell and lay in bed for three days. This was probably the one that left the deepest impression on him. part.
"Then...if the memories are played here in chronological order. The memory of seeing Carver just now is birth. Then the memory I saw before the black screen...even the memory of my own existence, what exactly is it?"
Several possibilities have emerged in Xiuna's mind.
for example--
Previous life?
"Ahaha, how could something like this happen?"
Now tell her that before Will was born, he may have had a memory of more than 20 years, and the most important thing is that in that memory, she actually appeared - even the ones sold on the street No romantic novel would dare to write like this.
"Forget it, let's see the cute little Will~"
Shona knelt down and looked at the little Will holding his teddy bear and sitting on the ground as if playing with its arms seriously.
"She has a little baby fat, but... her eyes are still as beautiful as now."
…
People's childhood is often a period of time that feels long when passing by, but short when looking back.
The same goes for Will.
In the blink of an eye, Xiuna had watched him spend countless spring, summer, autumn and winter.
It's winter again.
