"Mengling, it's time to come out for dinner."
Her mother's shout came from outside the room, but Li Mengling didn't seem to hear it. She was sitting at her desk writing a math mock test paper. The draft paper was filled with dense formulas and calculation processes.
"Hey -" Mother walked into the room carrying a bowl of fried rice, "Mengling, studying is a good thing, but you also have to pay attention to your health. How can you do it without eating?"
"I know, Mom, leave it there, I'll eat it later." Li Mengling held the pen in her hand without even raising her head. After finishing the math paper, she changed to a set of physics papers.
The mother put the bowls and chopsticks aside and did not leave. Instead, she sat by the bed and looked at her worriedly, "Mengling, was your mother too strict with you in the past? She always forced you to do your homework."
"When? You have never made strict demands on me." Li Mengling lowered her head and stared at the test paper, "But sister, you used to force me to stay in the room to study."
Hearing this, my mother was a little confused, "Sister?"
Li Mengling reacted. She sighed and put her pen gently on the table, "Mom, I really don't have time to chat with you. Tower University's admission score is ridiculously high, so we can't slack off at all."
"What is Tawo again? I have never heard of the name of this university, and neither have any of my friends... Meng Ling, where did you know about this school? You won't be deceived, right?"
"The whole world knows about this world-class university. Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it isn't famous. Just look it up online."
"Okay, okay, I don't care which university you want to take." Mother stood up, picked up the bowl and pressed it directly on the test paper Li Mengling was answering, "But your eyes can't stand it if you stare at the book motionlessly every day! Since today During the holiday, why don't you just have a good meal and go out to have fun? A few days ago, that classmate named Zheng Zhe came to see you. You didn't even meet him, so you just took the opportunity to ask him out today. If you don't have the money, mom for you……"
"Mom!" Li Mengling couldn't help shouting, "Can you stop being so childish? Do you know how ignorant you are?!"
The mother was stunned for a long time, turned around and left the room without saying a word.
Li Mengling moved the bowl away and read the test paper for a while, then dropped her pen on the table in frustration.
She doesn't want to study either.
She hates studying.
But how should she explain all this to her mother? The existence of her sister, the possibility of her father's resurrection, as well as parasitic races, artificial intelligence and towers... Even if she tried her best to describe these to her mother, the final result would probably be the same as Aunt Xiaoyu, and she would be sent to a mental hospital. .
At this moment, the image of Fang Xiaoling suddenly flashed through her mind, as if a "tendon" deep in her soul was suddenly stretched by some force. She couldn't help but shudder, and then concentrated Li searched for Fang Xiaoling in her mind, and it wasn't until an obvious colorful light appeared in her mind that she confirmed that it was not her imagination.
"Sister Xiaoling, can you hear my voice?"
"Mengling?" As soon as Fang Xiaoling found herself back in the Rainbow Corridor, Mengling's voice appeared in her mind.
"Oh my god... you really came out of the prison of souls." Li Mengling didn't know how to express her surprise for a while, but in her subconscious, she remembered the words spoken by the artificial intelligence, "This is too It’s amazing, it’s incredible!”
Fang Xiaoling stroked the wall of the Rainbow Corridor, always feeling that the touch under her palm was breathing with vitality, "How do you know about the Soul Prison? Meng Ling, what happened to you over there?"
Li Mengling told what happened to her. She had been holding back these words that had been edited in her mind for a long time. In this world, she had no one to tell her, and finally someone could express her feelings.
Fang Xiaoling looked at the wall she was touching with her fingers. She was fascinated, as if her attention was half taken away. However, Li Mengling's affairs on the other side also made her very concerned, so she asked in a daze, "Why should artificial intelligence help us?" Woolen cloth?"
"Because the agreement between Sister Luolan and it has now become an agreement between all of us and it. No matter who enters the tower first, they must rescue Xiaozhi and set it free..." Li Mengling said As she said that, she suddenly felt that Fang Xiaoling, standing with colorful lights in her mind, began to loom, and she immediately realized that this feeling was exactly the same as when Fang Xiaoling entered the soul prison, so she shouted: "Sister Xiaoling! You must never Don't focus casually. The Rainbow Tunnel you are in is actually a huge database connecting countless worlds! Xiaozhi cannot keep in touch with me at any time. It has told me all the information that is useful to you in these days. , let me re-establish contact with you before conveying it to you."
Fang Xiaoling in the rainbow corridor came back to her senses and blinked. The colorful light emitted by the wall was like a pet she hadn't seen for a long time, vying for Fang Xiaoling's attention. So Fang Xiaoling simply squatted down and just looked at the ground, " Just tell me Meng Ling, if I don’t look at the surrounding walls, I won’t be distracted anymore.”
"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaoling, you still have to put your hands on the wall, because Xiaozhi purely relies on data to analyze various possibilities. What he told me are all ways to deal with different situations." Meng Ling said from the table He took out a thick notebook, which contained important records of his calls with Xiaozhi these days. "You need to do what I said, and then tell me what happened. I will then compare and convey Xiaozhi's analysis results to you." .”
"Mengling, you have changed a lot recently. It seems that even the way you speak has become mature." Fang Xiaoling placed her palms on the wall of the Rainbow Corridor, feeling inexplicably friendly, but she restrained her urge to throw herself into the wall. Say in your mind, "I've put my hand on it, you tell me."
"Each wall in the Rainbow Corridor is a portal. After you press your palm on it, don't focus on the wall. That is the way to enter the portal, but before entering, you must first learn to look inside the door. What kind of world is it?" Li Mengling said clearly, "You have to focus on your palms, just like there are a pair of eyes in your soul hand, to see what kind of world is inside."
After Fang Xiaoling did this, she really felt the world on the other side of the portal. She said in surprise, "I felt Meng Ling! But it's so dense... I mean, there are so many worlds, it's simply too many. This is not Not one world, but countless worlds!”
Li Mengling was somewhat impressed by this. She immediately looked for her notes in her notebook. After flipping through the pages and comparing them for a while, she read, "If you see a dense window of the world, don't be nervous. It's actually the same world. It's just the same world." However, countless parallel worlds are split. If you look at them as a whole, you can see the image of a tree. The trunk in the middle will have a long window. That is the trunk world of this world, and other parallel worlds. It’s just branches and leaves that grow from the division of the main world.”
