Parallel World No. ZS562, June 4, 2002, Canglan City Flower Kindergarten.
The little boy looked at the question on the blackboard, scratched his head and said, "8 plus 3 equals... 83?"
"Hey -" the teacher shook his head and looked at Li Mengling who was sleeping on the table, "Mengling, you answer."
Five-year-old Li Mengling rubbed her eyes. She didn't fall asleep, she just felt too bored.
When she heard the teacher's roll call, she stood up unsteadily, looked at the question for a while, and said, "8 plus 3 equals 5, right?"
The teacher was speechless. Why are all the children in this class so stupid?
She reminded: "Mengling, if you think about it again, it is addition, not subtraction."
Li Mengling yawned and said, "It's equal to 24."
"You'd better sit down."
After Li Mengling sat down, she looked out the window boredly, with memories of her infancy emerging in her mind.
Those scenes appeared from a third-person perspective, and Li Mengling could even see herself as a baby, being held in her mother's arms and holding a bottle in her hand to suck.
Boom, boom, boom!
A quick knock on the door.
Li Hai sighed helplessly and did not open the door.
But the knocking on the door kept ringing.
"Go and drive, it's so annoying." Mother said.
Li Hai opened the door, and there was a young man wearing glasses standing outside. He said excitedly: "Hello! I am the editor of "Unsolved Mysteries of the World" and I would like to know..."
"Get out!" Li Hai interrupted him and said impatiently, "If you dare to knock on the door again, I will break your legs."
After saying that, Li Hai slammed the door shut.
"Dad is not angry." Li Mengli tugged on her father's sleeves. Just after she finished speaking, there was another knock on the door.
"Didn't I say..." Li Hai opened the door angrily, only to see a beautiful woman standing outside the door, "Sorry to bother you, I am from the Alien Exploration Newspaper..."
Bang!
Li Guanhai came to the door.
"Husband, why don't we just move?" Mother said dullly, "If this continues, we really won't be able to live a good life."
"I don't want to move!" Li Mengli shouted, "I like this home and I won't go anywhere!"
Li Mengling found that her sister was staring at her resentfully when she spoke.
Even though she was just a baby at the time, she still understood what was going on.
After that, she didn't speak another word for two years.
Slower and duller than his peers.
Li Mengling has always thought this way.
Before she knew it, she had long been accustomed to disguising herself.
"Idiot..." When her sister said this to her, there was love in her eyes.
Since my sister doesn't like that Mengling is smart, then Mengling should always be a fool.
Her thoughts gradually returned to reality. Among the flying catkins outside the window, her aunt Xiaoyu was looking at her.
"School is over!" After the teacher said that, Li Mengling immediately rushed out of the kindergarten and fell into the arms of her aunt.
"Sister-in-law! I miss you so much!" Li Mengling hugged Xiaoyu's neck, like a kitten, and kept rubbing her shoulder with her face.
"My sister-in-law misses you too, Mengling." Li Xiaoyu smiled happily, "Your father has something to do today, so please ask me to pick you up and take you home, but don't forget our agreement."
"Yeah! I promise I won't tell mom!" Li Mengling pointed to the stall across the road from the kindergarten, "Sister-in-law, I want to eat ice cream."
"Okay, it's the old rule, let's each eat half." Li Xiaoyu put her down, took her hand, and walked to the ice cream stall together, "Huh? It seems to be closed?"
The ice cream machine under the umbrella was still plugged in, but there was no salesperson.
"You must have gone to the toilet, right?" Li Xiaoyu didn't pay attention and said, "Mengling, let's go home first. There are several ice cream vendors on the road."
"Yes!" Li Mengling nodded obediently and took her sister-in-law's hand to go home together.
But the ice cream places on the road were either closed or no one was there at all.
When the two of them were about to reach the gate of the community, Li Mengling suddenly pointed to the other side of the road excitedly and said, "Look, sister! She sells ice cream!"
"It's true, but the clothes they wear are so strange..." Li Xiaoyu looked at the attire of the two people next to the ice cream machine in confusion. It was clearly a cloudless and clear sky, but they were wearing raincoats on their bodies. On the raincoats, there were still Printed with stars.
"Sister-in-law, hurry up!" Li Mengling had already run over and said excitedly, "I want an ice cream cone!"
"Okay." The man placed the cone at the hole where the ice cream could be squeezed out, and then said, "Three pieces."
Li Xiaoyu walked over and found that the stars on the raincoat were actually moving. Was it a visual error?
She asked in surprise: "Three yuan? So expensive?"
"Just kidding." The man thought for a moment and said, "One piece."
"Brother, our ice cream has always been sold for five cents, have you forgotten?" The girl sitting next to her held a newspaper and covered her face.
Five-year-old Li Mengling looked at the girl and walked over unconsciously.
"Don't come over!" The girl suddenly shouted, startling Li Mengling.
Li Xiaoyu immediately picked up Li Mengling and looked at them warily.
"Don't be nervous. We are plainclothes and we are handling a case. This ice cream doesn't cost you any money. Take it and leave." The man stretched out his hand and handed the ice cream to Li Xiaoyu.
"No need!" Li Xiaoyu hugged Li Mengling and quickly ran into Nandou Community.
"What are you doing? You almost got betrayed!" The girl threw the newspaper on the ground. "The little me just came over, it was so scary! I got goosebumps all over my body."
"Who knew there was still fifty cents in this era? This kind of ice cream cone cost ten yuan when I was a kid." Wang Chenyu handed her the ice cream in his hand, "Are you sure you want this Li Xiaoyu?"
"Don't treat her like an object." Li Mengling took the ice cream and picked up the schoolbag on the ground, "Has the data backup been successful?"
"The distance just now was close enough." A palm-sized hard drive appeared in Wang Chenyu's hand, "The data is all here. If you agree to my proposal, we can go back to Carnival Island now."
"I don't agree." Li Mengling said firmly, "Li Xiaoyu must be saved, and the same goes for my sister. Even if the replica looks like it, it is not them."
"That's the case again..." Wang Chenyu said helplessly, "Are you three sisters born to the same mother? There is no difference between the replica and the original body. Just like Carnival Island and Canglan City, except for the difference in longitude and latitude, what is the difference? ?
According to you, even if you save Li Xiaoyu, she is no longer herself.
Don't forget, after returning to Carnival Island, she will have to modify her memory data and fabricate memories that did not exist ten years ago. "
"Dignified Demon Leader, why are you so nagging? I think it is, then it is! I think it is not, then it is not!" Li Mengling looked at the guard room of the community, "Let's go there to hide first, my sister-in-law put the five-year-old I'll come out after I deliver it to your door, and then we'll take action."
"I got it." Wang Chenyu walked in front, "But I have something to say first. If you want to mention the demon clan again, I won't help you."
The two men walked outside the wall of the guard room and walked in directly through the wall.
Before the doorman inside could be surprised, he was instantly knocked unconscious by Wang Chenyu with his fist.
Li Mengling pushed him and complained: "Can you be gentler? I am already so old!"
"Don't make any noise. If you knock him to death, I'll pay for a replica." Wang Chenyu knelt down and looked at the two people standing at the door of the unit.
"Then if I kill you, will I give you a chance to restore your character?"
"Whatever, hasn't Fang Xiaoling done that before?" Wang Chenyu said nonchalantly, "According to your concept, my real body was burned to death by her when we were in Bingso Continent."
"I'm too lazy to argue with people like you." Li Mengling squinted at the two people at the door of the unit and wondered, "Why don't they go in? What are they doing?"
Wang Chenyu frowned and said, "Li Xiaoyu seems to be massaging your shoulders when you were a child?"
"No! She is strangling that Li Mengling!"
