After losing their memory, they all said she was my girlfriend

Chapter 18 You’ve seen more than me

"Thinking about it now, the negative emotions I felt at that time and that figure were probably the human souls that were turned into mangrove trees."

Chen Li had some guesses in his heart.

"They turned into mangrove trees, were imprisoned here, and were controlled by the red moon..."

"That's why this mission requires me to liberate the creatures here."

At this time, Su Ziying came over holding a book.

"What are you looking at?"

Su Ziying's voice pulled Chen Li back from his thoughts.

To be cautious, he did not say that he could read the words of this world, and it had never been revealed before.

"It's nothing."

Chen Li picked up the painting book and handed it to Su Ziying to read.

"I just think this painting is quite interesting."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Su Ziying looked at the painting Chen Li was holding.

Then I was a little surprised.

She noticed the line.

"Will you turn into a tree if you are taken care of?"

Although I have never seen the scene where humans turned into mangroves like Chen Li.

But she was smart, and she immediately guessed the meaning of this line of words.

"It means that people who are illuminated by the red moon will turn into mangroves?"

Su Ziying said suspiciously.

"Is this... written by someone who was illuminated by the red moon at that time?"

"Is this what this line means?"

Chen Li pretended to be surprised and read the words carefully.

"Correct."

Su Ziying nodded, carefully observed this line of writing, and also discovered something unusual about this line of writing.

"Even the strokes of a word are very different..." She couldn't help frowning: "This line of words was probably written by the person who was illuminated by the red moon at that time. At the last moment of his/her life, he/she wrote Printed this line."

This performance was very consistent with the consequences of being illuminated by the red moon. If she was just an ordinary person, she might not even have time to write these words.

"This should be true."

Su Ziying said: "Being illuminated by the red moon will take away human life very quickly."

"It's just that I didn't expect that after being deprived of life, I would be assimilated into a mangrove by the red moon..."

Hearing this, Chen Li also expressed shock.

"Is that so?!"

"It shouldn't be wrong."

Su Ziying nodded, came to the window, and looked at the mangrove tree in the backyard not far away, her eyes calm.

Human beings in this world have no special powers and are unable to resist the red moon, so they all turn into mangroves.

Su Ziying had mixed emotions when she thought that one of her next plans was to clear the surrounding mangroves.

At this time, Chen Li also came to her side and looked at the mangroves together.

The two of them had a lot of different thoughts.

Suddenly, Su Ziying said.

"I'm not sure if those humans are still alive now."

"I guess that although their bodies are dead, their souls still remain in the world, existing in the mangroves, and they live and die with the mangroves."

"In other words, the current mangroves are their new bodies."

She looked at Chen Li and said calmly: "Before I leave this world, I will clear the surrounding mangroves. If their souls are still there, it will be equivalent to killing them completely with my own hands."

"you……"

Su Ziying didn't know how to ask.

After hesitating for a while, he still said: "What do you think? If it were you... would you do this?"

She didn't know why she asked Chen Li this question.

I just feel... I don't want Chen Li to think that she is a murderous person.

"I?"

Seeing Su Ziying ask him this question, Chen Li felt a little strange for a moment. This kind of thing is just done, do you need to ask for his opinion?
  However, adhering to the attitude of being her companion and answering all questions, Chen Li still answered truthfully.

"If I were you, I would do the same thing."

"No." Su Ziying shook her head, "I don't want you to answer from my perspective."

"I want to ask, do you agree with this approach?"

Hearing this, seeing Su Ziying's inadvertent expression of concern for his answer, Chen Li shook his head and chuckled, looking at Mangrove with twinkling eyes.

"now I know."

Su Ziying asked: "What do you know?"

Chen Li did not answer. He pointed to the mangroves and asked, "Look at those mangroves, what do you see?"

Hearing this, Su Ziying frowned, wondering what Chen Li wanted to ask.

Chen Li didn't wait for Su Ziying to answer, and said to himself: "I saw the mangrove tree."

The scene he saw that night appeared in his mind, and he whispered:

"I also saw the innocent human souls who died tragically under the red moon."

"They are dead, but like you said, the souls are still here."

"The figures I saw that night were their wronged souls."

"I felt their resentment, regret, and desire for life...all the negative emotions before death were frozen."

"I think it was the red moon that imprisoned their souls here, making it impossible for their souls to escape reincarnation and gain relief."

"The mangrove is not their body, but the container that imprisons them."

"Even if their souls are still alive now, they will only suffer pain and torture."

Having said this, Chen Li looked at Su Ziying and looked at her.

"They... need help."

"Just go ahead and do it."

Chen Li closed the drawing book in his hand and gently placed it on the table aside.

Su Ziying put her eyes on the painting book, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.

She didn't know whether what Chen Li said was true or false.

She also didn't know how Chen Li, as an old human without any special powers, could sense things that she couldn't sense.

Therefore, she tended to think that Chen Li was comforting her.

When a person's soul disappears, he is truly dead.

He saw through my thoughts and said these words specifically so that I would not feel guilty...

For a moment, Su Ziying felt a complex emotion that she had never experienced before.

Chen Li's soft words and gentle attitude at this moment converged into a warm current, quietly sneaking into her heart, lingering and warming her heart that had never been entered before.

This feeling made her feel at ease, but at the same time, she felt a little panicked for some reason.

She was silent for a long time, then smiled and said:
  "You've seen...more than I have."

Chen Li smiled and said, "That's right."

……

After knowing the truth about Mangrove, Chen Li was too lazy to look for the electronic facilities here to check whether the network in this world could still be used.

After walking out of the library door and observing these mangroves at close range again, Chen Li's inner perception also changed.

Facing the mangroves, he always felt palpitations and inexplicable excitement.

The palpitations may be due to the fact that the mangroves are full of innocent souls, and he instinctively feels fear.

And the excitement...where does it come from?

This excitement made him want to get close to it and touch it.

But the more this happened, the further Chen Li stayed away from them.

To this day, he has never touched a mangrove tree.

After learning more about the truth, Chen Li had a premonition.

That is, when he touches the mangrove with his own hands, everything will be accelerated, and there will be no possibility of looking back...

The two of them walked side by side on the way back together.

Chen Li knew that it would be almost impossible for him to complete this hidden mission by himself.

Su Ziying's power is an indispensable guarantee.

Therefore, until she recovers, the matter of exploring the truth about the Red Moon and liberating mankind can only be put aside for the time being.
