Youthful Memories

I confessed my feelings to Wanrou.

She rejected me.

"I mobilized my resources to create a 20-kilometer-long sea of roses for her."

She rejected me.

"I bribed her husband with money, and he abandoned her."

She still rejected me.

Human Stick Jiao Shensan, spoke calmly.

Jingye Meinan's eyes widened. "And then?"

"Then I kidnapped her."

Human Stick Jiao Shensan, spoke calmly.

"Jingye Meinan tsk tsk, "And then you become a pervert because you can't have the girl you love, so you kidnap her and force her to like you? This story... is so cliché. Where's the author? Drag him out and shoot him."

Jiao Shensan then added, "To be precise, it's technological hijacking."

Jingye Meinan was taken aback. "Technology hijacking? What's that?"

"I placed Wanrou... in one of my technological inventions."

That device is called the ' God Clock '.

"A technology that can only exist in the Metaverse."

"I can adjust the flow of time within it, making the ratio of time within it to the external time 2.6 million:1."

"In other words, those 2.6 million years are merely one year in the outside world."

Human Stick Jiao Shensan, still 'looking' into the distance, said, "After I put Wanrou inside, I gave her a large amount of medication, including Serotonin and more than a dozen other drugs."

Serotonin?

The boy was very familiar with this medicine.

Dr. House prescribed a lot of Serotonin for the boy!

The boy didn't eat a single one, and named it ' Happy Pill '!

Human Stick Jiao Shensan, slowly said, "Those are drugs that inhibit human brain nerve activity. After Wanrou took them, her brain nerve activity was drastically reduced, and her intelligence and cognition were equivalent to that of an infant."

"Then."

"I designed a virtual world for her within God Clock, including her parents and her family, so that she could 'grow'."

"When she grows up to be 26 years old, which is her actual age."

I gave her the medication again.

"Let her return to Child... to grow up again."

"This process was repeated a million times."

Jingye Meinan horrified.

Qin Yiguan echoed, "According to the machine's time scale, after you did all this, only one year actually passed? And that poor Wanrou girl is repeating her life over and over again, experiencing endless reincarnation, a million times in total? She didn't die, but... isn't that painful? What are you doing this for?!"

"I did this to collect her data."

Human Stick Jiao Shensan, said calmly, "I want every single detail about her from childhood to adulthood: how she would react if she fell, whether she actually liked dogs, how her gentle personality developed, why she likes pink silk dresses—I want everything about her! Not a single thing can be missing!"

"While doing all this..."

"I also created a Digital Human that looks just like Wanrou."

"And in the heart of this Digital Human, I only edited one piece of data... that is, she loves me, loves me unconditionally, and will only love one person in this life, and that is me, Jiao Shensan!"

Qin Yiguan's eyes flickered. "Then, you will inject those ten thousand ' Wanrou data' into this Digital Human brain?"

"Right."

Human Stick Jiao Shensan's voice trembled slightly, "I have achieved great things in my life, and I have the right to be Pride! But my Pride absolutely forbids the woman I like from not liking me!"

Since the real Wanrou doesn't like me, I can't change her.

"Then I'll... recreate her!"

"Not only is she just like the real Wanrou."

"And it's genuine, from the bottom of my heart, that I truly love you!"

"This is the kind of love that Jiao Shensan deserves!"

now.

The boy and the Jingye Meinan froze again.

Is this what's called technological hijacking?

Jingye Meinan trembled slightly—this story is so perverted, I've never heard of it before!

Despite being deeply shaken.

But the boy hadn't forgotten his surroundings and subconsciously glanced at his wrist.

"Mr. Qin."

"Don't worry about the time."

The Information Management Bureau can't find this place.

Human Stick Jiao Shensan, said calmly.

The boy looked up upon hearing this, "Why do you say that?"

"Time is a magical thing."

But human consciousness is more wondrous than time.

"I'm 29 years old... I only felt the power of my consciousness a few days ago."

Human Stick Jiao Shensan, turned his head slightly and 'looked' in the direction of the boy. "Just a few days ago, many memories suddenly appeared in my mind."

"At 18, I was incredibly Sloth, spending all my time lying in bed, my consciousness drifting into the Metaverse."

"At 24, I became a hacker, consumed by Envy, constantly plotting to assassinate my 18-year-old self."

"At 25, I was an extreme Gluttony, spending my days sitting on a high platform, consuming tons and tons of food."

"At 23, I became the owner of a Source Matter Ore, but I was framed by one of my laborers named Lu Yi and turned into a puppet with no way to express my suffering."

"And I, at 28, grew up in a City of Lust, worked as a waiter for 11 years. It was through his memory that I learned your name was Mr. Qin, and that Jingye Meinan was a level 47 VIP, extremely lecherous."

Jingye Meinan was completely dumbfounded.

The boy was also somewhat confused, trying hard to sort things out, but still couldn't quite make sense of it.

I guess.

"We Jiao Shensan."

"Like Wanrou, she has had her 'life' simulated multiple times."

"And I am one of them."

"Although I no longer have legs, I still remember my number—AE237."

Human Stick Jiao Shensan, smiled bitterly and said, "But the mastermind behind this probably never imagined that human consciousness would exceed the scope of his understanding."

"Because we are all Jiao Shensan."

"Therefore, our memories, traversing different timelines, shattered all barriers... and merged."

"At 29, I can actually remember every single moment from before."

The boy was stunned, then suddenly realized.

He suddenly recalled the first time he met 68-year-old Jiao Shensan at the Research Society Fortress.

Jiao Shensan seemed to be seeing an old friend. He said, "You don't know me now, but I've known you for many years."

Is it because of these memories from my youth?!

He's the oldest, and multiple timelines have converged!

Mysterious!

But within its mystery lies a self-consistent logic.
