Chapter 7, The Mysterious Girl

Zhang Yu hurriedly finished his breakfast and began to contemplate what he should do next

Thus, in the end, it made a decision to extract all events that could lead to the destruction of humanity from the long flow of time and space, transforming them into an independently existing legendary world, in order to preserve the reproduction and existence of humanity. Do you understand this?

The stunning beauty before him left Zhang Yu momentarily stunned, and it was only after a moment that he regained his composure: "May I ask... who are you looking for?"

Who exactly is she

She suddenly appeared at the door, claiming to be looking for herself, but Zhang Yu had no recollection of ever having seen her, which naturally made him more cautious.

Zhang Yu sat opposite her, his mind in turmoil, constantly churning with thoughts. He carefully observed the girl, trying hard to recall her image from memory, but to no avail

Zhang Yu lowered his head, his gaze fixed on the floor, while his mind was racing. After a long while, he finally raised his head: "If we were to use the terminology from computers, those worlds you mentioned that have been extracted are like a sandbox, or... a quarantine zone. All detected viruses would be placed in that sandbox, so they wouldn't interfere with the system's operation"

Zhang Yu quickly took two steps back, clearing the way for the girl, his heart racing.

Zhang Yu was taken aback, unsure of what Luo Jiyao's question meant. He squinted at her, did not answer immediately, and after a long contemplation, cautiously said: "I... used to be an atheist, not believing that the world was created by a deity. But now... I am not certain. At the very least, the disappearance of Ling Weiping and Zhang Yan must be due to some supernatural force, right"

Luo Jiyao said: "Yes. Do you know that this world, as well as the humans in it, were not created by God? On the contrary, it is humanity that has created God"

Zhang Yu took a deep breath and fired off a series of questions in quick succession: "Ling Weiping, and my younger brother Zhang Yan, why did they disappear? Why has everyone forgotten about them, to the extent that there is no trace of their existence in this world? Why is it that only I can remember them? And you... how do you know about them?"

When the beautiful woman smiled, it was as if lotus flowers were blooming on the surface of the lake: "Zhang Yu, right? I came here to find you." As she spoke, she lowered her head to look at Zhang Yu's feet in front of her: "What, are you not planning to let me in?"

The next day, Zhang Yu slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up. Upon stepping out of his room, he discovered that his parents had already left for work, leaving only two fried eggs and a bowl of thin rice porridge on the table

"Looking for me? You are..." Although Zhang Yu was momentarily stunned by her appearance, he did not lose his composure. After regaining his senses, he still stood at the door, not making way for her.

My name is Luo Jiyao. Although this is our first meeting, I have known about you for a long time. The girl smiled slightly and said, I believe you must have many questions right now. I can answer all these questions for you, but whether you ultimately believe it or not depends on yourself

As Zhang Yu was in a state of confusion, he heard two soft knocks on the door. Zhang Yu was taken aback; his parents had gone to work, so who could it be at this hour?

Do not worry, I am neither a scammer nor a honey trap.

The girl paused here, raised her head, and saw that Zhang Yu's eyes were already filled with shock. She smiled slightly and said, "What, do you still plan to make me stand here and finish speaking?"

Zhang Yu opened the door, and suddenly, his eyes were met with a dazzling sight—a stunning beauty was standing outside!

She wore a fitted T-shirt and a pair of slim jeans, which accentuated her exquisite curves with remarkable clarity. Her long hair cascaded down to her waist, as dark as polished ebony. With a straight and delicate nose, skin as smooth as silk, and lips that were a luscious red, especially her bright, large eyes that were gazing intently at Zhang Yu

The girl walked into the living room confidently, sitting down on the sofa without waiting for Zhang Yu to greet her, her face adorned with a smile as she looked Zhang Yu up and down, her expression full of warmth and cheerfulness

Luo Jiyao spoke at length, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Zhang Yu.

"So that is... the god created by humans, as you say?" Zhang Yu asked, nodding his head

Luo Jiyao did not answer directly; instead, she countered with a question: "Zhang Yu, do you think... is there a god existing in this world?"

It cannot be said to be creation; 'Qian' is the aggregation of human collective consciousness, it is the essence of humanity itself. Since its birth, it has continuously sheltered humanity, fulfilling human desires, but it has also discovered humanity's tendency towards self-destruction. Humanity is fundamentally unable to control its greed and foolishness, as well as various malicious thoughts. 'Qian' has always been protecting humanity, in order to prolong human existence and to delay its own collapse, it has made various efforts for salvation.

The girl at the door smiled, as if she could see the thoughts in Zhang Yu's heart: "Although you do not know me, I know you very well. Your name is Zhang Yu, born in 1991, and you are twenty-five years old this year. You have a younger brother named Zhang Yan, and a close friend named Ling Weiping. However, recently, you have suddenly found that they have disappeared from your life."

Zhang Yu keenly captured the key point in Luo Jiyao's words: "Others? Are you saying that there are others who have encountered the same experience as mine?"

The income from his previous job was considered decent, and since he had always been single, despite regularly sending money home each month to support his parents, Zhang Yu still managed to save some money. Even if he was not in a hurry to find a job for the time being, he did not have to worry about starving.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's mind erupted with a thunderous sound, as if struck by five bolts of lightning

In one crisis after another, it finally discovered that the tendency for destruction is also a part of human consciousness, and as part of human consciousness itself, it cannot act against its own nature

Moreover, Zhang Yu's return home this time was originally intended to relax and take a break. Given this, there is no need to rush to look for jobs and submit resumes. The disappearance of his close friend and younger brother is what concerns Zhang Yu the most at present. If he cannot uncover the truth, he will never be able to live a peaceful life again.

Zhang Yujing quietly waited for Luo Jiyao to continue speaking

She ...! ... She knows about the matter between Zhang Yan and Ling Weiping! She knows that they once existed!

Luo Jiyao nodded in appreciation: "Very good, at least you have quickly accepted reality and are not as stubborn as others."

After the birth of humanity, each individual is an independent entity, possessing their own thoughts and pursuing their desired actions. Humans communicate with one another, yet they never consider that what they express is their own thoughts, nor do they believe that the thoughts shared will undergo any transformation. Humanity is also unaware that their thoughts intertwine within the vast river of history, not knowing when or under what circumstances a unique will of their own was born. This will encompasses the consciousness of all humanity, and it is called - 'Qian'!
