Chapter 205
Have you lost your memory?
No.
The Doctor clearly remembered that her last memory was of Amiya pushing her into the Sarcophagus.
Why is this happening?
Originium Outbreak.
Her Worldline was thus destroyed.
It's that simple.
Everything is gone.
The moment the Originium Outbreak, no one could react in time.
Even Amiya had to exert all her strength to protect the Doctor.
But what will be the price?
The price was that half of Amiya's body had crystallized, but even so, Amiya persevered, dragging and pulling the Doctor into the Sarcophagus.
'Doctor... even if it's just you alone...'
'Doctor... you must live well...?'
' Doctor... hehehe... I'm fine now... Doctor, you just need to take a nap, and I'll be alright... really...'
Despite being so scared that she choked up and in pain that she cried out, Amiya still managed to put on an innocent and lovely smile.
Then the Sarcophagus closed, and all was silent.
It was Amiya who reached out her hand and woke her from the Sarcophagus.
But this time, when the Doctor reached out his hand, he grasped nothing.
"Was I dreaming again...?"
The Doctor opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling.
Her arm was still outstretched, but there was nothing there.
"Yes... how could I forget... cough cough cough..."
The Doctor coughed a few times and took a while to catch his breath before he could catch his breath.
She knew her body was too weak, otherwise Amiya wouldn't have thought of protecting the Doctor the first thing when the Originium Outbreak and impacted the entire world.
"I want to go back..."
The Doctor knew that her Worldline was beyond saving.
But she still wanted to go back.
Even... just building a simple little grave for Amiya would be fine...
This had almost become an obsession for the Doctor.
She had lost count of how many times she had woken up and how many times she had fallen asleep, but every time she drifted off, this experience would haunt her like a nightmare.
So when he woke up this time, the Doctor didn't want to close his eyes.
She struggled to get up, but she wasn't even fully recovered from a serious illness; her skin was sickly pale, and her limbs were weak. Even a simple turn over was enough to leave her breathless for a while.
Even so, the Doctor still got up.
Grasping the IV pole beside him, he put on slippers and moved step by step toward the outside.
"I want to go back..."
He gently opened the door, and the sunlight streaming in made the Doctor feel dizzy for a moment, as if the world was spinning.
Fortunately, she held onto the IV pole and managed to get used to it after a while.
She shielded her forehead with one hand, trying to adjust her eyes to the sunlight while also taking in her surroundings.
"Uh... where... where is this...?"
The Doctor had expected to find a desolate wasteland upon opening the door.
At the very least, it should be a place of lush green mountains and clear waters, like a paradise on earth.
But what the Doctor saw was an exceptionally bustling town.
This sense of being out of touch with the world, like waking up to find that hundreds of years had passed, left the Doctor stunned for a long time.
Until--
"Gah? Gah gah!"
A few cawing sounds brought the Doctor back to his senses.
She looked down and saw an Ayao, carrying goods on its head, standing right in front of her.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, the Doctor realized that she must have been blocking Ayao's way, so she moved aside a little.
Watching Ayao continue walking forward, the Doctor tilted his head, gazing at Ayao's retreating figure, and pondered for a long time—
"What is this thing?"
The Doctor had certainly met Xi, but Ayao... she probably hadn't.
Despite the fact that the Doctor seems to get along with everyone in the operator's voice lines,
However, in the stories of the Sui family, such as "The Person in the Painting," "Drinking Song," and "Ascending to a High Place," the Doctor was never included in the game.
Even though he had never seen it before, it didn't stop the Doctor from quickly asking after regaining his senses, "Excuse me... cough cough cough... do you... do you know where this is...?"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Ayao turned around to look.
Although Ayao didn't know what was going on with the person in front of him, he still responded with a cackle.
But...
The Doctor couldn't understand it.
Fortunately, in the end, Ayao stretched out his little hand and pointed in a direction.
So the Doctor said goodbye to Ayao, turned around, and used the IV pole as a crutch to walk away into the distance.
Along the way, the Doctor passed by many shops, all well-stocked, and each had one or more Ayao inside... uh... as shop assistants?
But strangely, not a single passerby was seen.
Even though the Doctor was eager and determined to return to her own Worldline,
But in this warm, bustling town, which also exudes a hint of eeriness at all times,
The Doctor still frowned slightly.
Until--
She discovered the truth about this world.
The Doctor walked to the edge of the town, but the road ended there.
"The... end of the world...?"
Standing here, all I can see is emptiness.
Looking down, there was a bottomless abyss.
There was nothing there except for that towering mountain in the distance.
This isn't a small town at all; it's more like a fragment of a world suspended in nothingness?
The Doctor was slightly startled; she instinctively took a step back.
Then she noticed that the towering mountain in the distance had moved.
No, that's not a mountain at all, it's—
"That Lost Cat just told me, ' Doctor, you're awake. Why are you out for a stroll by yourself?'"
Along with that sound came the image of a giant hand reaching out to grab her.
Chapter 322 The Doctor still wants to return to her Worldline.
Actually, Chen Ran had already noticed her when the Doctor came out of the model house.
After all, the size difference is there, and Chen Ran is still using a top-down perspective, which is no different from having the full map view.
At first, Chen Ran didn't pay attention.
I figured that since the Doctor had just recovered from a serious illness, there was no problem with him going out to get some sun and take a stroll.
He can eat and drink as much as he wants at the 'Seaside Resort Town,' and there's even a group of Ayao as shop assistants, so he won't go hungry.
To everyone's surprise, the Doctor didn't eat or drink anything; he just wandered around, even heading straight for the edge of the table.
Standing there, peering down cautiously.
"What's wrong? Have you lost your mind and want to become a flying acrobat?"
Upon seeing this, Chen Ran naturally stopped watching and instead reached out and grabbed the Doctor's hand to prevent her from doing anything rash.
The texture is slightly soft to the touch. While it's not as soft as a cotton candy, it's still quite soft, like the weakness of muscles that haven't been used for years.
But none of that matters.
Chen Ran simply looked at the Doctor in his hand and said, "Why are you wearing a hospital gown? If it weren't for your classic hooded look, I wouldn't have recognized you at first glance."
Doctor:"..."
"Huh? What's wrong? Are you still alive? Say something."
Doctor:"..."
Although Chen Ran already thought he was speaking very softly.
But the Doctor remained silent throughout, simply staring blankly at Chen Ran, as if he had been stunned.
Then, just as Chen Ran was about to reach out and poke her to see if the Doctor was still alive...
Suddenly, the Doctor took a deep breath and then began to cough. He continued coughing until Doctor even reached out and covered her heart before he started to gasp for breath.
"No? Isn't your reaction a bit excessive? Were you so frightened that your heart stopped, or did you have an asthma attack?"
Chen Ran quickly gave the Doctor extra points to prevent her from actually passing out in one breath.
Then he turned around and shouted, "Cat! Lost Cat! Your Doctor is about to die!"
Were you scared?
No, that's not it.
Although the Doctor had almost never met Chen Ran.
After all, Chen Ran used Time Stop when he saved her.
After being rescued, they were given to the three cats for a consultation.
After the consultation, the Doctor immediately fell into a deep sleep.
Not to mention meeting Chen Ran, the Doctor had no idea when the 'Seaside Resort Town' was built.
However, because he woke up several times during the journey, the Doctor was anxious and learned some things about Chen Ran, this 'god,' from Kal'tsit and the others.
So at least the Doctor had some expectations.
But those three cats didn't tell her that Chen Ran was such a person.
There are quite a few on Terra who call themselves 'gods', such as Sui, Yelagund, and the Black Serpent.
But compared to Chen Ran, isn't it a bit ridiculous to call Him 'God'?
Shouldn't such an existence be at the level of a creator?
