Life in the Diamond-shaped Base was even more dull than Yun Ge had anticipated. As a result, aside from eating and sleeping, Yun Ge could only spend his time on the spacious square, contemplating life. However, it was frustrating that due to his memory loss, he was unable to reflect much on his past experiences. Consequently, he spent most of his time gazing at the sky, which was deeply concealed by mysterious clouds, and passed the time by letting his thoughts wander.
Since the Diamond-shaped Base was located in a mysterious space, there was no concept of time here. Therefore, Yun Ge had no idea how long he had been in the Diamond-shaped Base since he last woke up. However, it seemed that it was precisely because there was no concept of time in the Diamond-shaped Base that Yun Ge was able to continue staying here despite finding life monotonous. Especially after that eccentric green light suddenly had a change of heart and added several pieces of fitness equipment on the square, allowing Yun Ge to have an outlet for the restless energy within him, he became even more at ease living in the Diamond-shaped Base.
Sleeping, daydreaming, eating, and working out had now become the entirety of Yun Ge's daily life. Apart from these activities, what Yun Ge looked forward to the most was the irregular physical examinations conducted by the green light. This was because during this period, Yun Ge could only see the green light during the physical examinations, and he could not see him at any other time.
"Hey! Can you tell me the truth? What crime did I commit that led you to imprison me in this prison?" Yun Ge took the opportunity when the detection instruments were checking his physical condition through the data cables inserted into his body to ask the floating green light in the air again.
"Hey! I've told you so many times already. You haven't committed any crime, and you're not a criminal! This is not a prison, and you're not being imprisoned here! This is a base exclusively for you, and everything here is at your service!" The green light's electronic synthesized voice answered with an impatient tone.
"Wow! You sure are tight-lipped! There's nothing here, and apart from staying in my room, I can only go to that square surrounded by high walls to get some air. You still say I'm not locked up?" Yun Ge said, pursing his lips.
"I've explained to you so many times! The reason your access area is limited is that you haven't yet reached the ability to access those rooms. It's not a good thing to let you know too much in advance! If you want to enter other rooms in the base, you must at least recover some of your memories first!" The green light explained patiently once again.
"Phew! You always say you hope I can recover my lost memories soon. But how exactly can I do that? Moreover, since the equipment here is so advanced, why can't you use these devices to cure my amnesia?" Yun Ge continued to ask.
"I'm not unwilling to try, but your amnesia is very tricky. Considering your unique situation, I have to be cautious. Otherwise, any reckless move could lead to irreversible consequences," the green light said.
"Even they can't cure my amnesia, can they?" Yun Ge asked again.
"That's right. All they can do is build this base for you and assist you in repairing your damaged memories as much as possible while accompanying you in your growth," the green light said.
"Phew! Is my memory really that important?" Yun Ge sighed.
"Yes, it's very important. The memories you've lost are not only very helpful for their work but also crucial for your future. In simple terms, your memories——"
"Oops! I know! My memories are related to how high I can grow in the future and also determine whether they can entrust me with important tasks in the future! You've already said these things countless times! Can't you give me a different answer?" Yun Ge interrupted the green light impatiently before it could finish speaking.
"But I'm telling the truth! I can't just make up lies to answer your questions, can I?" The green light returned to a calm tone.
"Humph! Even if they are lies, I don't want you to always give me answers that I can't understand! Forget it! Forget it! You're just too tight-lipped! I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore!" Yun Ge waved his hand and said, then gave up asking questions and lay back on the bed again.
Seeing that Yun Ge was lying on the bed and no longer speaking, the green light took the initiative to ask, "By the way, how have you been feeling recently? Have you remembered anything more related to the last mission?"
Yun Ge shook his head and answered very crisply, "No."
Then, Yun Ge sat up again and said with a puzzled look on his face, "Apart from what I told you last time, I really can't remember anything else. However——, recently I often have a strange feeling. Once this feeling comes over me, I always feel like I remember who the person who accompanied me on the mission last time was. But as soon as the information about that person reaches the tip of my tongue, it gets stuck, causing me to instantly forget what I wanted to say."
"At least you can be sure that when you said 'we' at that time, you were referring to you and another person," the green light said.
"Phew! This feeling is really strange. I'm very sure that I know that person, but I just can't remember who that person is, not even whether that person is male or female. Moreover, every time I try to recall the details about that person, an indescribable pain spreads all over my body," Yun Ge said.
"Well! Since you can't remember who that person is, don't force it, or it might affect the system's physical examination of you," the green light floated to the system's light screen to check for a while, then floated back to Yun Ge's side and persuaded.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Yun Ge nodded to show his agreement with the green light's words, and then the two fell silent again. However, Yun Ge didn't stay silent for long before he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Green Light, do you think I will encounter that person again during a mission in the future?"
The green light, emitting a faint mint green glow, stared at Yun Ge for a few seconds before asking, "Why do you say that? Do you think you will see that person again?"
Yun Ge thought very seriously for a moment, then answered cautiously, "I feel like I might encounter that person again because I don't know when it started, but when I try to recall the matters related to the last mission and that person, I suddenly feel a strong sense of familiarity towards that person. Since you said there are only the two of us in this base, if my feeling is correct, then that person must have appeared in my dreams more than once, or rather, in my missions."
After listening to Yun Ge's words, the green light stared at him for a few more seconds before saying, "Very interesting. It seems that everything is developing in a good direction."
Yun Ge frowned, somewhat dissatisfied, and said, "Can you not always say that things are developing in a good direction? Can you specifically explain which good direction things are developing in?"
Yun Ge had thought that the green light would reply evasively as before, but unexpectedly, this time the green light said, "This is the first time you've been able to remember something immediately after waking up and then also remember something related to the last mission. Although the additional information you remembered is only a little bit, this situation does indicate that your memory is recovering in a positive direction."
"Phew! I hope so!" Yun Ge lightly frowned, then immediately smoothed it out.
"By the way, Green Light. Speaking of missions, when can I go on another mission? I don't even know how long I've been cooped up here! I also want to go out and get some fresh air!" Yun Ge continued to ask.
"Even if the mission is a nightmare, do you still yearn to go out and get some fresh air?" The green light asked jestingly.
Yun Ge shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "Sigh! A nightmare is still a nightmare, but at least I can go out and get some fresh air, right? Even if it's just to refresh my spirit, it's better than being suffocated here, isn't it?"
The green light bobbed up and down twice to indicate nodding in agreement, then said, "Rest assured! You will soon be going on another mission! The next suitable world for you to enter has been locked in. Once I complete the final stability test on that world, you can go there to carry out the mission!"
Hearing that he could soon go on another mission, Yun Ge immediately became excited and wanted to jump off the bed, and he also inquired in detail about the details related to the next mission. Seeing this, the green light immediately released a burst of dazzling strong light to stop Yun Ge, while reminding him, "Hey! Can you not move around recklessly? Don't forget that you still have data cables inserted into your body! You know, the purpose of this comprehensive physical examination is to ensure that your health condition is sufficient to support you in carrying out the next mission. If you affect the results of the detection instruments, it might lead to the next mission being postponed!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Ge quickly lay back on the operating platform again, and after making sure that his previous actions had not affected the work of the detection instruments, he said expectantly, "Finally! I can go out and get some fresh air again! I really wonder what kind of mission I will be carrying out this time?"
"Actually, it doesn't matter what mission you will be carrying out next time. What's important is that you must try to remember more of the mission's content. This will help you recover your memory and also help us better complete our work," the green light said.
"I guess you still won't tell me who 'we' are, right?" Yun Ge glanced at the green light and asked.
"That's right," the green light answered very crisply, then shifted its attention to the detection instrument that was sorting out the detected data.
After completing this physical examination, Yun Ge had thought that he would soon be able to go on a new mission. However, after leaving the operating room, the green light did not come to notify him of the mission, which made the anxious Yun Ge feel a hint of unease in his heart, fearing that this was because the green light had found some problem with him through the physical examination. With this mix of anticipation and anxiety, Yun Ge waited for several more days before the green light finally appeared.
As soon as Yun Ge saw the green light appear, he immediately got up from the bench in the center of the square and went over, while to conceal his anxiety, he deliberately raised his voice and asked, "Green Light! You finally showed up! Didn't you say that I would soon be able to go on a mission after the physical examination? Did something go wrong?!"
The green light then slowly floated over to Yun Ge's side and answered leisurely, "I just said that you would soon be able to go on a mission, but I didn't specify when exactly. Moreover, according to the concept of time in the Diamond-shaped Base, when I said 'soon,' it doesn't mean that you can set off to carry out the mission immediately after the physical examination."
Yun Ge impatiently waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to listen to the green light's explanation of the concept of time, then asked, "Alright! Alright! I got it wrong, okay? Then tell me, when can I go on a mission? Staring at these high walls and the starry sky above every day is about to drive me crazy!"
The green light patting its mint green glowing body said, "Rest assured! Everything is normal. In fact, the purpose of my coming this time is to inform you that you can start preparing to set off. Because after a series of tests, I have established a stable spatial connection channel at the location where you are about to carry out the mission. You can safely and boldly go to carry out the mission."
After confirming that his concerns were unfounded and learning that he could leave again, Yun Ge couldn't help but wave his fists and said excitedly, "Great! I can finally go out and get some fresh air! By the way, Green Light, can you tell me what mission I will be carrying out this time?"
As the green light led Yun Ge back to the operating room, it answered, "I can't disclose that. You must explore on your own to understand the mission you need to complete, as this is more conducive to repairing your memory."
Yun Ge curled his lips and said, "Haha! You probably don't even know the content of the mission, do you?"
The green light nodded ambiguously, which made Yun Ge quickly stop in his tracks and chase and ask, "Hey! Are you really saying that you don't even know what mission I'm going to carry out? Are you trying to harm me?!"
The green light turned around and continued to float forward backward while seriously answering, "Of course not. I don't know the mission content for two reasons: one is that my authority is insufficient, and the other is that the mission itself has a certain degree of randomness. But you don't have to worry because I can monitor your physical condition in real-time through the detection instruments. Once you encounter a life-threatening danger, I will, as I have done every time before, pull your consciousness back to reality before the fatal threat can cause you harm."
Yun Ge could tell and also hear that the green light spoke these words very sincerely, and a sense of familiarity also made him feel a sense of security from the bottom of his heart after listening to the green light's answer. Therefore, Yun Ge didn't continue to dwell on this issue and instead followed the green light back to the operating room with excitement and nervousness.
