Chapter 173 I'm not Hathaway(2/2)
And then...somehow, maybe it was a bug, maybe it wasn't, some data that was deposited in the infrastructure got into the game, and then, I 'woke up'."
"woke up?"
"Well, it's like I slept for a long time and then finally woke up, but my mind was blank and I was confused at first. Anyway, I instinctively felt that I couldn't expose it, so I hid it.
You can roughly figure out the situation by reading the background information in the game.
At first, I thought "The Third Continent" was real... It wasn't until the 'players' came in and I started eavesdropping on their chat that I figured out that I was in a game...
Then...I started to recall some memories again..."
"Recall? Memory? What do you mean?" Lin Tuo raised his eyebrows.
Hathaway rolled her eyes at him and said reluctantly:
"That's it. The background information said that I was designed based on the real Anne Hathaway in history. Then I became very curious and tried to collect information.
For example, playing as an NPC and getting information from players.
Later, as I gained more control over the system, I obtained a lot of information from the built-in search engine...
It was during this process that I began to 'recall' some fragmented memories... It was as if those memories existed, were activated, and then I remembered them like this."
Lin Tuo said: "What memory is it?"
"Battle and life are very trivial and inconsistent anyway," Hathaway said, "It's like reading some movie passages, as if they were all experienced by the historical Hathaway.
Later, I compared the time and found that most of the memory fragments were recorded when she was a general and guarded the shelter on the ground...
There are also some that seem to be older, but they are few and vague..."
As she said that, she seemed to have guessed Lin Tuo's thoughts and continued:
"Do you think I might be related to the real Hathaway?
Frankly speaking, I have also suspected it, but there is no evidence. Apart from the intermittent memory data, there is nothing else. The key characters are also different.
The Internet and the memory fragments show that she is quite boring. In addition to fighting all day long, she is on mission. She is on the ground all year round. She occasionally returns to the shelter for a while to discuss official business. It is boring as hell...
I can't stand this kind of life, I will go crazy!
So I feel that I must have nothing to do with her. At most, I accidentally fused some of her data into my body.
After all, the entire Magic Network structure was built based on the data she provided before her death, so that’s about it.”
After saying that, Hathaway spread her hands, leaned on the chair, and crossed her legs. Her two thighs were exposed from the seam of her skirt. The scenery was wonderful, and she didn't seem to care.
It means it's all said and done.
Lin Tuo glanced at her and thought that her personality was indeed different...but then he frowned and started thinking, a little unsure of the truth of what this guy said.
But listen, it can all be explained.
After thinking about it, he suddenly felt something in his heart, opened the drawer, and took out the badly damaged "prayer candle" that had long been extinguished.
If she really merged with Hathaway's memory.
So, no matter how long it takes, there should still be some impression of this item, right?
"Do you recognize this thing?" As he spoke, Lin Tuo raised his hand and shook the broken candlestick.
In the crystal ball, Hathaway originally looked indifferent, but the moment she saw the candlestick, she was stunned.
Deep in her consciousness, a strange throbbing surged up, instantly penetrating her mind.
If you are struck by lightning, your face will change suddenly!
The seat beneath him suddenly shattered, the staff condensed out of his hand, and his red skirt fluttered. He looked like he was facing a formidable enemy and blurted out: "Forbidden thing!"
After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Lin Tuo suddenly, her eyes filled with confusion, and a fog seemed to rise deep in her memory:
The palace, the round table, the dancing flames, the vague "companions" who seemed to be talking to each other around them, and at the top, a figure whose appearance was completely unclear...
"ah--"
She suddenly held her head in pain.
After a moment, all the memories slipped back into the depths of her consciousness, leaving her gasping for air, her eyes full of confusion, and the way she looked at Lin Tuo also changed slightly.
She still didn't remember much, but for some reason, she felt that the person in front of her felt a little more familiar, as if she had seen him before.
"What did you remember? Remember me?" Lin Tuo asked with his heart moving.
Hathaway shook her head, hesitated, and nodded again: "I don't remember, but it looks familiar."
Is that so... Lin Tuo sighed in his heart, put away the prayer candle, and looked at Hathaway, who was a little weak at the moment and looked particularly tired.
After thinking for a while, he raised his hand and punched a trace of blue and white air into the crystal ball.
"Magic?!" The next second, Hathaway's eyes lit up. No matter what Lin Tuo's intentions were, he instinctively rushed forward and swallowed, integrating the wisp of ether into his body.
The originally tired spirit slowly began to recover.
"Come on, come on, some more!" Hathaway shouted, smacking her lips, her eyes full of anticipation.
Lin Tuo grinned secretly: "No more."
"You must have it! Give me some more! Can't you do it if I cooperate with you?"
Hathaway lost all dignity at this moment, and suddenly turned into a stream of light, flew out of the crystal ball, and rushed towards Lin Tuo's hand - she could sense that there was still magic left in that hand.
"Go, go, go." Lin Tuo's face darkened, and he slapped Hathaway back with a palm. He was a little suspicious, thinking that this cliff couldn't be Hathaway's resurrection, right?
Even if the former Grand Priest and later the Grand General were reborn... their personalities wouldn't be like this... right??
He suddenly felt a little unsure.
At this moment, the system interface suddenly popped up in his retina:
[The upgrade has been completed. Do you want to restart immediately? It will take effect after restarting. 】
Lin Tuo was startled and had no intention of continuing to question Hathaway. Anyway, this guy was bound to the crystal ball and couldn't escape. He had only a long time to go and it would be the same to study it later.
But this thing is really an eyesore here...
Thinking about it, Lin Tuo shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hua Xi!"
"Here you are!" The next second, the little girl who had woken up early and had been listening outside for a long time broke into the door and looked around, looking for the vague figure of the woman.
She listened to Lin Tuo and a girl talking outside.
This made her a little nervous.
She looked around but didn't see anything. The next second, she saw Lin Tuo raising his hand and throwing a ball over:
"Put this thing in your place first. Don't let her run around and don't talk to her. I'm busy."
"Oh." Hua Xi held the crystal ball in her arms, her face was filled with confusion, but she still instinctively nodded in agreement.
After Hua Xi and Hathaway were driven out of the study, Lin Tuo looked at the location of the Evolution sand table with expectation in his eyes:
Chapter completed!
