Chapter Index

    Black hole of numbers: 6174

    “,.”

    Senior Sister Yu was sure that it was definitely not the same language, but Qi Ruiqing understood it so easily.

    “What did he say?” “He was answering my question…”

    Because he was just answering a question, this instinct was carried over?

    “,.”

    The familiar feeling…that is what is impacting my worldview and values.Answers that didn’t belong to her, even if they poured into her body like this, would only increase the pain.

    On the execution rack, the last thing she saw before she passed out was the executioner’s indifferent look and the applause of the onlookers.

    A fish that is hooked will keep its food in its mouth until it dies…

    “,.”

    At the intersection of dreams and reality, she heard these words again, just like the monster that looked like Shen Molin but was definitely not him was leaning against her ear, leaving an open ending.

    She was suffocated and struggled to press the call bell.

    The situation suddenly worsened, and she suddenly forgot how to breathe with her lungs like a human.

    After breathing in oxygen, she felt a little more comfortable, but fatigue and weakness came over her again. Half asleep, she seemed to hear those words again:

    “A black hole, not a black hole.”

    A black hole is not a black hole?So what is it?

    “A collective consciousness, a careerist, a terrible enemy…” The voice paused, took a deep breath, and sighed, “One person.”

    alone?

    Senior Sister Yu finally realized that she could understand these words.She forced herself to wake up and tried to open her eyes.

    “Senior.”

    But the person she was talking to was not any individual who looked like Shen Molin in her imagination – it was just Qi Ruiqing who vaguely existed, sitting beside her bed.

    He called Senior Sister Yu softly without raising his eyes, and then turned to the next page of the notebook on his lap.

    “Why are you here?” Was it the laboratory, medical staff or the military that called you?

    “Ha…” Qi Ruiqing shook his head, smiling superficially.

    He didn’t lie.Senior Sister Yu tried her best to get up and look around, but she couldn’t find anyone other than them.

    “Where is Shen Molin? He didn’t come with you?”

    Qi Ruiqing finally raised his face.Senior Sister Yu looked at him, or rather he looked at Senior Sister Yu, and then some unexpected expressions appeared under his overly calm expression.

    “Shen Molin?”

    He tilted his head.

    “Why…why did he come?”

    It didn’t look like he was joking, and he certainly wasn’t a joker.He posed this question to Senior Sister Yu like a normal lunatic.

    Senior Sister Yu doesn’t know, isn’t this a matter of course?They were always inseparable… But he was right, Shen Molin shouldn’t have come because he was dead long ago…

    Qi Ruiqing stood up, and what he said convinced Senior Sister Yu that he could read minds.

    “You’re the only one who remembers so much.”

    Senior Sister Yu has seen this kind of scrutinizing gaze from many people.

    Fortunately, in the end, Qi Ruiqing just sat down again.

    “None of them thinks that Shen Molin has come back; only you, only you have not forgotten.”

    “So where did he go?”

    Presumptuous question, Qi Ruiqing said, he “came back” but left again; he was “forgotten”, just like the name that was not engraved on the tombstone and dispersed…

    “The black hole is going to take us away. He sent me out to face it on my own,” Qi Ruiqing was unusually calm, as if he was staying out of the situation. He took a sip of water and said, “And there is a high probability that he will lose.”

    When his fingertips brushed against the leather cover of the black notebook, Senior Sister Yu finally saw some deserved nostalgia.

    “Senior sister still remembers that it may be because your distortion was not caused by the black hole, and you are not under his control.”

    The feeling I feel when getting along with Qi Ruiqing now is exactly the same as the first month after the accident…

    “I’m going to save him.” Qi Ruiqing lowered his eyes, “Use this notebook.”

    So this must be the relic left by Shen Molin to him: “What’s in this note?”

    “There are some properties of black holes summarized by Shen Molin…” Qi Ruiqing stopped talking as if he realized that language would further blur reality.

    He glanced at the bedside, and just by looking, Senior Yu’s bedside was shaken up.He held the notebook in front of her, but did not hand it over completely.

    “Quantum Ghost State”, “Master Personality”, “Desire”, “Roche Limit”, “Selective Devouring”…

    “Don’t read it.” Qi Ruiqing retracted his hand and closed the book, and later began to explain, “You only need to broadly understand it as ‘his characteristics’. Understanding it too detailedly will be detrimental to the future.”

    Understanding it would be disadvantageous?

    “Because everything related to him is unknowable, defining him is unscientific and one-sided.”

    Where did this conclusion come from?

    Senior Sister Yu lamented that she did not know when she had become an outdated idiot.

    “Then I can understand that everything in this book is uncertain?”

    Qi Ruiqing acquiesced, but he was not negative or confused. In his eyes, the unpredictability automatically drove away the fog, leaving only the rules of connection that could be exploited.

    “So, we can peek into his changes based on this notebook.”

    “Is this really feasible?” Senior Sister Yu’s question comes from the caution of a normal person.

    But she could see that Qi Ruiqing, who had given up doubts, had long given up on distracting thoughts.Whether it works or not, it works.

    “That’s it.” He said to Senior Sister Yu, and also to himself, and then took out an ordinary black pen from his coat pocket.

    Pressing the end of the pen, he poked the notebook with the tip of the pen to try to draw out the ink, and then opened a blank page.Senior Sister Yu looked at him and tilted his head slightly to think, then hesitantly started writing.

    “I’m still not sure if I should call him another Shen Molin…”

    “Is the black hole another Shen Molin?” Senior Sister Yu was shocked, but that was all she could do.Qi Ruiqing just talked to himself, showing no interest in her shock.

    He just hesitated and wrote a “black hole” with quotation marks on the paper.

    …no change.

    So Qi Ruiqing crossed out the quotation marks.

    …no change.

    “Mere words have no direction, right or wrong… I need a proposition, a sentence…”

    Qi Ruiqing added a word after the word to form the sentence that Senior Yu has always heard: A black hole is not a black hole.

    His hand shook, and the pen rolled along the curved pages and fell to the ground.

    Qi Ruiqing bent down to pick it up, and the covered sky outside the window was revealed to Senior Sister Yu again.Perhaps the sky and the sea are the same, and they are filled with water that is intangible and invisible.

    Qi Ruiqing sat up again, holding the pen in both hands.Is that also a relic given to him by Shen Molin?

    “Changed…”

    Qi Ruiqing picked up the book, and Senior Sister Yu followed his gaze. All she saw was the word “black hole” with the quotation marks removed.

    “A black hole is still a black hole? … No, it’s because I’m awake, but that’s not enough.”

    Does it mean not awake enough?Or is it not enough for you to be awake?

    “There is a certain relationship between Shen Molin and his definition… Maybe I can also find his location in this way.”

    “So Shen Molin is really part of the black hole?” Senior Sister Yu just guessed.

    Inappropriate guess, Qi Ruiqing looked up at her with a somewhat unhappy expression.

    “You are aiding the evildoer.”

    Unfortunately, Qi Ruiqing didn’t give any reasons, so Senior Sister Yu could only keep silent, no longer participate, let alone raise any opinions.She didn’t dare to say it was paranoia, but she couldn’t be so sensitive and unfounded.

    She could only watch Qi Ruiqing write again: Shen Molin…

    He wanted to write something else.

    But the stunned pen showed the dilemma he faced.

    Senior Sister Yu turned her head to look, but she didn’t see any new marks on the page.

    What is here is that Qi Ruiqing took a sharp breath, and then finally wrote a second time in a panic and disbelief.

    He carefully added quotation marks: “Shen Molin”…

    Just after writing the second word, the pen jammed.Qi Ruiqing shook it and tried again, but even though he was carving it with force like a carving knife, the pen still resisted.

    “How could…” he said, suddenly raising his head and asking Senior Sister Yu, “You remember him, right?”

    “Yes, Shen Molin.”

    Qi Ruiqing also said: “Yes, Shen Molin.”

    His handwriting was randomly scratched on the corner of the page like a line. It slid so smoothly, but it still refused to give in on the name.

    The anger broke out instantly. Qi Ruiqing grabbed the pen and threw it on the notebook.

    “Ink” finally appeared in some form.The black liquid is like blood vessels crawling on the surface of the human body, and like mud, it quickly seeps into the inside of the paper based on the capillary effect, penetrating and oozing out until the next page.

    The black hole disappeared into the denser darkness, and the next thing was the word “sink”.

    It’s really too much.

    Qi Ruiqing panicked and used his hands to wipe away the ink and cover the words, but all he got was his fingertips stained black.He couldn’t do it, just like he couldn’t fish out the two-dimensional mirror flowers and water moon on the paper, and he couldn’t save the virtual Shen Molin.

    “I can do it… I will save him!!” Qi Ruiqing started shouting uncontrollably. He must have collapsed a long time ago.

    “How do you save him? Enter a black hole? But you are an entity, you can’t get in.”

    “That’s not a black hole! Shen Molin died because you all thought so much! I have indeed entered a black hole, more than once!!”

    Come again, come again, hysterical, and then come up to kill everyone else who he imagined would kill Shen Molin.The lessons learned from the past are clearly visible, and no matter how stupid Senior Sister Yu is, she knows how to avoid their sharp edges.

    Qi Ruiqing lowered his body and held the edge of the bed, he was also fighting.The trembling was suppressed by his will, and he weakly fell back into his chair, picked up his pen and book, and sat there for a while.

    “…Your oxygen tube fell off.” He pointed to the bedside, and his voice after releasing his strength was as soft as a patient’s.

    “No need…” After doing this, Senior Sister Yu also remembered that the human body can breathe on its own.

    It was obvious that Senior Yu was just a fish dying of thirst on the shore, but Qi Ruiqing looked at her with a bit of envy in his eyes.

    “Senior…” he said, “What’s your name?”

    “You don’t remember?” It’s normal, “Yu Qiaoyin.”

    Qi Ruiqing laughed suddenly and inexplicably.

    “Okay.” He said, not looking at the book because there was nothing there.”Okay.” He closed his eyes and groped around, making sure there was something else there.

    “Shen Molin…I found him.”

    He was there, hidden in the darkness but able to penetrate the back of the paper.

    He rubbed the ink on his hands and secretly made up his mind: “I want to go in too.”

    “Are you going to die again?” Senior Sister Yu panicked and quickly grabbed his hand, “Qi Ruiqing, don’t go.”

    “He is not Shen Molin, and even he knows it. He is just playing the role of your dead lover for you, to please you.” Senior Sister Yu didn’t intend to say so much – peace and quiet was the prerequisite for her to keep silent, and the agreement she and Shen Molin made has always been like this.

    “I can’t watch you die anymore, because Shen Molin is already dead.” If she hadn’t suddenly wanted to bring Qi Ruiqing to the laboratory, maybe the experiment would not have been affected, and Shen Molin would not have died.

    “And, since he has Shen Molin’s memory, he will definitely hope that you will let go and stop taking risks.”

    “Go quickly”, isn’t it?

    “But I regret it, if I leave.” He has already regretted it, regretting it every day, “I only think that you are putting yourself in my shoes. I know that Shen Molin will definitely hope that I will retreat in spite of difficulties. He always hides everything from me…”

    “But I promised him that I would go back to save him.” This has nothing to do with it, it’s just a promise.

    Qi Ruiqing had already made up his mind to leave, but he still patiently listened to her words, and then objected: “He is a staged lover, but his love is not staged.”

    “I won’t die either. I have other ways.” He pulled out the tape in the book. “I have already fixed it.”

    When he said this, Senior Sister Yu knew that there was no way she could stop him.

    I just hope that Qi Ruiqing is indeed different from before… At this time, Qi Ruiqing is more “purposeful” and “logical”. He knows his illness, his current situation, and what is useful.

    “In that case, I have nothing to say.” Senior Sister Yu leaned into the soft pillow, closed her eyes and couldn’t bear to look anymore.

    Benevolence and righteousness are exhausted, and everyone has his own destiny.

    Qi Ruiqing insisted on dying for love, so Senior Sister Yu could only give her blessings.

    It’s a pity…it’s a pity what a good friend and person…

    “There is one thing I want to ask of you.”

    Qi Ruiqing has stood up, but the black notebook he is holding is no longer in his hand.

    The leather cover was falling to the ground, with nothing else in it.

    “After I leave, help me hand over the virtual body theory and black hole information to the higher ups.”

    “Why don’t you hand it over to Captain Yan yourself?” This is not a difficult task, but Senior Sister Yu must ask carefully.

    “Because Yan Yu is dead, and now only Captain Yan exists.” Qi Ruiqing said calmly, “I did kill people and erased their biological attributes other than their professional identities.”

    “Just like they will forget everything Shen Molin created after Shen Molin leaves, after I leave, the living people will die as they are.”

    Senior Sister Yu, who was not created by the black hole’s virtual body, has become the only person Qi Ruiqing can rely on now.

    That woman actually did a “good thing”.

    “I don’t want it.” Senior Sister Yu resisted and refused to accept it. “Do you have to leave? Do you have to leave me alone?”

    “I only do this for money. I just want a stable, upper-class life to study the incorporeal… I don’t want to take on such a heavy responsibility! I am a selfish person!”

    When she secretly changed the concentration of the potion, she realized that she could not bear the weight of her “life”.

    “Then don’t hand it in. There is no surveillance here and no one knows what you have done.”

    So cold, so hateful.Senior Sister Yu refused to answer the question, so Qi Ruiqing placed the pile of information on the bed.

    “Then hate me, don’t hate yourself. I am avoiding responsibility and being selfish.”

    But the “fate” Qi Ruiqing carries is never easy.

    “I will save Shen Molin…and if this method can really change the past time, then I will try to find an optimal solution where no one will die. I promise you, Yu Qiaoyin.”

    The tape dangled in his hand.She saw Qi Ruiqing lowering his eyes and smiling softly, as if he finally got what he wanted.

    “But if I fail, then the aftermath will be left to you. I don’t know what the black hole will become after satisfying its desires, but for you, it should never change again. At that time, senior sister, please try to live with it and solve the problem according to the rules summarized in the notes.”

    Senior Sister Yu could only look at him with confusion.

    “Sorry…for leaving you alone.”

    Qi Ruiqing turned around, and the rising wind gently rolled up the corners of the paper, and then landed slowly on the ground.

    “Qi Ruiqing!!!” Senior Sister Yu finally shouted her last plea to stay.

    “Oh… Also, during the Qingming Festival, come and check on my mother for me.”

    He smiled decisively in the end.

    Then left.

    The pile of information was just thrown there. Yu Qiaoyin reached for them with some difficulty and took them into his hands.

    “Assholes…men are all bastards…”

    She just thought about what else she could do for them…

    She sighed, waiting for the direction of the world.She wanted to look outside to see if the sky was still so blue…

    But what she saw was not the sky.

    Qi Ruiqing didn’t leave?His body was still leaning against the back of the chair, his head lowered unconsciously, motionless.

    “Qi…” Senior Sister Yu realized what was happening and stretched out her hand tremblingly.

    But she couldn’t reach it.

    Qi Ruiqing’s body tilted and fell from the chair.The rot appeared almost instantaneously, his neck nearly severed, and the blood dried up as it drained.

    How could she forget?Qi Ruiqing had already left no escape route for himself.

    She also forgot that she should press the call bell to announce his death.

    When Qi Ruiqing was carried out, she just held the documents blankly and did not respond to anyone’s calls.

    “Qi Ruiqing, Shen Molin, what else can I do for you?”

    Do something.
