310 Chapter 310, Three Lives Review
Meng Jingtian conveniently placed Jiang Ruxue on his shoulder and walked towards the three lives stone.
It was a large, irregular black rock that was as tall as a person. It stood beside a muddy, Yellow River. There was an ancient and dilapidated stone bridge on the river. The stone bridge was covered in dust, as if no one had walked past it for a long time.
This map should be the legendary river of forgetfulness and bridge of helplessness. However, there was no Meng Po at the end of the bridge, nor were there any ghosts that came and went. There were only all kinds of ghosts and monsters. It seemed like this place had been abandoned for a long time.
The surroundings were filled with level 70-plus ghosts and monsters. It was no wonder that elder Yue had asked him to come. If it were any other player, they would not be able to complete this quest unless they were level 70 or 80.
Taking advantage of the fact that he was still in the heavenly transformation state, Meng Jingtian began to clear out the monsters around him.
These monsters had a 90-point friendliness towards Meng Jingtian. He did not have to clear them out initially, but he could ignore them. Jiang Ruxue could not.
Elder Moon’s quest also required them to review three lives in front of the three lives stone. They needed two people to stand in front of the three lives stone. Otherwise, he would be able to go alone.
After more than ten minutes of clearing, all the wild monsters in the surroundings were finally cleared. With the level of these wild monsters, it would probably take some time for them to respawn again. Meng Jingtian let Jiang Ruxue down from his shoulder.
Around the same time, the time effect of the Dharma Heaven and earth on his body had also passed and he returned to his normal size.
“This thing seems to be just an ordinary stone. How should I use it? Or should I just carry it back?”
The two of them stood in front of the stone. The pitch-black stone did not change at all. Meng Jingtian muttered to himself as he walked around, trying to pick up the stone and put it into his backpack.
However, the stone seemed to grow here. It did not move at all and was directly taken away. The system also notified him that special mission items could not be put into his backpack for the time being.
Just as Meng Jingtian was trying to pick up the stone and move it away, Jiang Ruxue could not help but raise her hand to touch it, she muttered, “So this is the three lives stone? I didn’t expect it to be so ordinary. If it wasn’t written clearly in the information, I wouldn’t have believed it.”
Just as Jiang Ruxue touched the three lives stone, a bright light flashed across the three lives stone.
Jiang Ruxue was shocked and subconsciously withdrew her hand. The three lives stone instantly regained its calm.
“Eh… It really needs two people to trigger it?”Meng Jingtian also noticed the change in this instant. He raised his head and returned to Jiang Ruxue’s side. He placed his hands on his waist and muttered to the three lives stone.
“I heard that there is already a technology that can explore the past life from the deep memories in the brain. It’s just that it’s not mature yet. I wonder if tomorrow has already developed this technology.”
Zhao Lin’s reminder and the various signs in the game and in reality had let Meng Jingtian know that tomorrow was not simple.
However, it was still the same sentence. What was not simple was not something that a commoner like him could know.
He believed that other than him, there were also many players who could sense that this game was not ordinary.
The technology used in this game was too cutting-edge. Many of them were not even civilian technology.
Meng Jingtian even suspected that this thing could not be the product of mankind’s highest technology, right?
Therefore, if this three lives stone really used the technology that he had seen on the internet and only had a few words to describe it, he would not be too surprised.
“It’s a commercial scam. There’s no such technology.”Jiang Ruxue shook her head and said naturally.
Meng Jingtian paused and looked at Jiang Ruxue.
Jiang Ruxue felt his gaze and was stunned for a moment. She raised her head and glanced at him. She stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes. “I saw it on the Internet.”
“Regardless of whether there’s such technology or not, the one in front of us is the three-life stone. Don’t you want to try it out? What about our previous life?”Meng Jingtian didn’t dwell on it and only raised his hand to hug Jiang Ruxue’s shoulder, he smiled.
“It’s just a game. Maybe it’s just a plot.”Jiang Ruxue rolled her eyes and raised her hand to place it on the three lives stone.
Meng Jingtian smiled and also raised his hand to place it on the stone.
He originally thought that he would only be able to see some scenes from the three lives stone. Who knew that with a flash of light on the three lives stone, the two of them instantly disappeared. It was as if they were transported to an unfamiliar place in the blink of an eye.
Meng Jingtian quickly realized that although his consciousness was awake, it could only be trapped in his body in his previous life. It could not cause any changes to the outside world. He was just like a spectator.
In his first life, Meng Jingtian saw a blue sky and white clouds that were rarely seen now. There were lush green mountains and lush forests.
He lived in a small county town. At that time, the tall buildings were not that tall. There were still many people coming and going on the streets. The robots that were widely used today had yet to appear.
He would play games on an antique device called a computer, and he would run around barefoot in the summer.
At the age of thirteen, he had just entered junior high school. At the opening ceremony, he saw that familiar figure. However, as a freshman with excellent grades, she was invited to give a speech. He was just an unknown member of the crowd below.
For three years, he was like all the little boys who admired her in school. He would discuss everything about her in private, but when they passed each other, he did not even dare to glance at her.
For three years, they did not have any interaction.
When they took the graduation photo, he happened to be standing behind her. When he lowered his eyes, he could only see her dark hair. It was also at that time that they had their first conversation.
“Classmate, your nose is dripping on my head!”
“Hehe…”and he only laughed foolishly, which was exchanged for a flirtatious roll of his eyes.
After graduation, the two of them went their separate ways in the vast sea of people. He went to high school for a year before dropping out to work and wander around.
Four years later, the two of them met again in the torrent of the human world.
At that time, he was a school takeaway kebab vendor, and she was a top student in the university.
He recognized her, but she did not recognize him.
She was as lonely and proud as ever, like a fairy that had been left behind in the human world. Her entire body exuded an aura that made people stay away from her.
In this life, he just stood in the crowd and watched her silently. He watched her gloating and frustrated, watched her go through a few failed relationships, and finally, for the sake of his “Career,”he was lonely for his entire life, becoming exquisite and old.
In this life, she was a ray of white moonlight that he could neither obtain nor erase from his heart.
In the Second Life, technology had made great progress. A large number of factories began to use fully automatic machines. Robots, biotechnology, and mysterious brain development began to make progress in stages.
Technology gradually reached the level of consciousness. “Virtual reality”was no longer a sensory touch from the outside to the inside. Instead, it began to act directly on consciousness from the inside out.
Under such technology, blind people could “See”a colorful world, and deaf people could “Hear”sounds, they could experience everything that normal people felt about the outside world in the “Real”illusion in their minds.
