Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

Chapter 277 Dream or... Memory?

At first, these were just intermittent and blurry images, but soon they became clearer and slowly intertwined into real scenes.

It is so real and vivid, with sound, emotion, touch, temperature and smell.

Those fragments came together to form a complete line, which was the past, emotions, choices and mission that this body had truly experienced, which she was unaware of....

These fragments transcend the barriers of time and space and are integrated into her current life trajectory, becoming a part of her.

The stars dissipated, Xia Jiumeng covered her chest, her heart beating violently, and it took a long time for it to slowly calm down.

Only at this moment did she truly feel like she had integrated into this world.

The sea returned to calm and Xia Jiumeng breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's time to go back. My consciousness has been out of my body for so long, and I don't know if it exists in the lab. Will my body stink?"

Yu Mi is dead, and there is no one in control of the laboratory. The previous power collision was so great that no one knows what is happening outside.

Xia Jiumeng's consciousness was floating, and she suddenly opened her eyes. What she saw was the familiar black and red mist. It enveloped the entire space and blocked the falling brick and steel frame from above.

Meeting her somewhat dazed eyes, Qin Che's frown relaxed and he smiled with interest.

"You're really good at bombing, little bomb."

The teasing words were a little bit impolite.

“...Qin Che.”

"This place is going to collapse, hold me."

The hand Qin Che extended to her overlapped with the hand that passed through the cracked barrier in her memory, but the difference was that this time she would hold it tightly.

Xia Jiumeng suddenly grabbed Qin Che's big hand and let him pull her out of the collision cabin and hold her in his arms.

He tightened his arms and bent his knees in a half-squat.

"Don't close your eyes this time. Watch clearly how we 'escape', and then..."

"Remember this."

"Yeah." Xia Jiumeng responded sullenly, hugging Qin Che's neck.

It turns out that he appeared in his life very early.

The tremendous energy dragged him down, brutally crushing all obstacles, passing over the collapsed rubble, and flew upwards from his brother's position. The loud explosion was buried underground.

Standing at the side of the arena, she saw clearly how terrifying Zhao Cheng's explosion was because he had not controlled the energy overflowing from his body.

The center of the entire arena has collapsed into a bottomless pit, and the collapse of the edge of the pit is still continuing.

She fell to the ground from Qin Che's arms, and the dazed state she had been in before had completely disappeared.

Qin Che stretched out his hand, and a black and red mist wrapped around a figure and flew up.

It’s Yu Mi.

"He's really lucky. I dragged him into an energy vortex before, but he didn't die."

Xia Jiumeng curled her lips.

Although he didn't die, Yu Mi would probably not have a good ending if he fell into Qin Che's hands.

Qin Che held Xia Jiumeng's waist with one hand and controlled the mist with the other hand to throw Yu Mi in front of them, looking down at him condescendingly.

"Our deal is done. Now, it's your turn to offer me your soul."

"Ahem...monster..."

"There are two in front of you, which one are you talking about?"

Yu Mi's eyes were so cloudy that he seemed to no longer be able to see where the enemy was. He stretched out his arms with difficulty to grab the black mist around his neck.

"The terms of the deal between you and me...have not been reached yet!"

"Back then, I only promised to bring her to you. Foolishness and arrogance are your nature, but that's no reason for you to break your promise."

Qin Che lifted him up suddenly, and more black mist wrapped around his neck.

"You underestimated her growth and still think she's the little girl who let you decide her life and death at will."

"You're just like those gamblers who think highly of themselves. You're not as smart as you think you are."

Yu Mi struggled and said, "I...I know who provided the anti-gravity...let me go..."

Qin Che sneered disdainfully when he heard this, and forced Yu Mi's head to turn towards her.

"Take one last look and remember who you were defeated by."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black and red mist completely engulfed him until he turned into scattered light dust.

Xia Jiumeng's gaze fell on the pit in the middle of the arena again.

There, dull explosions came one after another from deep underground.

It seems that this place will no longer exist after today.

This exploration not only found a lot of memories, but also solved a hidden danger. Although it was disgusting, it was not a big problem.

Overall it's a good thing.

Qin Che looked at the dazed little person in his arms and leaned his chin on it.

"How much do you remember?"

"It's quite a lot, but it's very messy and I'm afraid it will take a long time to digest."

"By the way, when did Yu Mi make the deal with you?"

"After I escaped Gaia?"

Qin Che: "Yeah."

"You sent me to him so that I could recall those memories?" She looked at Qin Che.

"You'll take this step to find yourself, sooner or later."

Xia Jiumeng was silent for a moment. Looking for herself?

She really seems to care about her past, whether it's her here or... her before.

She is always looking for information about her past and why she was left behind.

Maybe it's because he's unwilling or maybe he just wants an answer.

"So, aren't you afraid that once I find myself, my power will destroy both the world and you?"

"Should I worry?" Qin Che raised his eyebrows.

"unnecessary."

"That's it."

"Walk?"

"Where?"

"Let's call it a day and go home." Qin Che bent down and held her in his arms and walked in the direction they came from.

Xia Jiumeng leaned on the man's reliable chest and curled her lips.

Compared to the past and the future, the present is the most important.

Qin Che's steps were so steady that she didn't even realize when she fell asleep.

In a trance, she seemed to have a dream.

In the magnificent Colosseum set among the nebulae of the universe, many young men and women, covered in blood, greeted the crowd with cheers.

In this carnival place where life and death meet, she and Qin Che have the highest tacit understanding on such matters as dissecting the wandering body.

Qin Che's face was already outstanding at a young age. He looked at the equally delicate little girl in front of him and said arrogantly, "Will you team up with me this time?"

The girl Zou Mei refused, "I hate teammates who will steal points from me."

This guy would take away a lot of her points in every battle, and she didn't want to team up with him this time.

The boy didn't care about being rejected. He just crossed his arms and said, "Which do you hate more: teammates who compete with you for points or teammates who can't keep up with your pace?"

The girl's nose wrinkled. ".......You're really annoying! If you try to steal my points, I'll definitely throw you into Tartarus!"

"Oh."

The girl said angrily, "Hold out your hands! Form a team!"

The boy quickly reached out and said, "Yeah."

The next second the picture was disrupted, turning into a completely unrelated scene that was sometimes blurry and sometimes clear.

The familiar little boy has now grown into a tall figure.

He descended from the sky with an arrogant and ferocious look and appeared before her.

In the ruined laboratory, he stared at the collision chamber in silence, then smashed the barrier with his fist...
