Chapter 574 He Woke Up

This clip depicts a heartwarming scene—Melos is carefully taking care of little Lin Xiyue.

In the video, little Lin Xiyue is intently watching a small, exquisite children's terminal, while Molos sits beside her patiently watching with her.

This terminal, resembling a thin, paper-like device with a magazine-like appearance, was held securely in Lin Xiyue's small, delicate hands.

With a gentle swipe of her slender fingertip, countless adorable 3D images instantly appeared at the top of the screen, as if encapsulating all the beauty and joy of the world.

However, it is precisely this seemingly ordinary detail that reveals a hint of the strange.

It's important to know that on MapleStar, these early childhood terminals are typically only used by children around three or four years old as tools for early education and intellectual development.

When children reach the age of seven or eight, they often switch to other types of electronic devices specifically designed for children, and almost without exception, these devices exist in a virtual form rather than a physical one.

Just then, Lin Xiyue was suddenly jolted back into view by this image.

This startled Lin Xiyue, but she quickly regained her senses and fell into deep thought.

After a moment's thought, she reached out without hesitation, trying to capture the images that kept rushing past her.

After several failed attempts, she finally succeeded in capturing one of the images.

This time, having taken precautions beforehand, Lin Xiyue did not panic as before when the image swallowed her up again. Instead, she calmly allowed herself to be sucked into that mysterious and unpredictable image space.

In this scene, the first thing that catches Lin Xiyue's eye is Moros's large face, right in front of her, very close.

Lin Xiyue could now clearly sense that the perspective in this scene was much higher than in the previous one.

It seems that at least one or two years have passed since the previous images to show such a significant change in height.

Back then, little Lin Xiyue's perspective only reached the table legs, and she had to stand on tiptoe to see even the things on the table.

From this angle, the desktop is now easily visible, and even taller cabinets are no problem.

But then something strange happened.

As far as Lin Xiyue could see, the room was still filled with all sorts of anti-collision and protective facilities. The surfaces of those anti-collision strips were still brand new, without any signs of wear or collision, indicating that they had just been replaced recently.

This shows that even after at least a year, these anti-collision strips are still very useful in the room.

Otherwise, how could we get timely updates?

Soon, Lin Xiyue only saw a few scenes of daily life in this clip before she was ejected again.

After being ejected from the screen again, Lin Xiyue did not rush to take the next step. Instead, she stared blankly at the images flashing by like a tide.

These images seem incredibly real, each one like a precious memory.

As time went by and she saw more and more, Lin Xiyue felt an indescribable sense of intimacy growing stronger deep within her heart.

Although she had no recollection of the experiences depicted in these images, her body involuntarily felt a strange sense of identification and belonging to them.

Baby, baby, wake up!

Meros called out anxiously, his voice seemingly transcending time and space, directly entering Lin Xiyue's chaotic mind.

This time, Lin Xiyue seemed to have touched a nerve, making her realize that someone was calling her in reality.

In her subconscious, she wanted to open her eyes and see Meros calling her.

At the same time, a dazzling white light shot out from Lin Xiyue's side like lightning, sweeping over at an astonishing speed and instantly engulfing her entire vision in a white haze.

This sudden turn of events caught Lin Xiyue completely off guard. Before she could even react, she instinctively closed her eyes tightly, fearing that she might be harmed.

When Lin Xiyue finally noticed that the light around her was gradually dimming, she dared to relax her guard slightly and gently open her eyes in an extremely slow and cautious manner.

However, this time, she still couldn't see anything.

It turned out that Meros's broad and powerful hands were now completely covering her eyes.

In this way, all she could see was the faint, slightly reddish light passing through her palm.

Are you more awake now?

As a deep and magnetic voice drifted into Lin Xiyue's ears again, Moros's question seemed to linger with some kind of magic.

Um......

Still half-asleep, Lin Xiyue only managed a mumbled reply, her consciousness seemingly still immersed in chaos.

Immediately afterwards, an almost instinctive reaction drove her to reach out and tightly grasp the large hand that Meros had placed over her face, and she even subconsciously touched it gently.

Hehe, judging from this, she must have already woken up.

Melos clearly noticed Lin Xiyue's little actions and couldn't help but chuckle softly before speaking.

As soon as he finished speaking, he began to slowly move his hand, which had been pressed against Lin Xiyue's eyes, so that she would have enough time to gradually adapt to the bright light outside.

Lin Xiyue frowned, trying to clear her mind, but her thoughts remained a tangled mess.

"Um... I just saw it..."

She blinked hard, trying to see the blurry scene before her, before slowly and hesitantly speaking.

"What did you see?"

"Meros asked softly, his tone revealing a hint of barely perceptible anticipation and nervousness."

He gazed at Lin Xiyue quietly, his eyes gentle and deep, as if trying to see something.

“I saw... you when I was a child, you turned into a black cat and came to find me. Hmm... no, you came to... to find the original body.”

Lin Xiyue murmured to herself as she recalled the scene she had just witnessed deep within her consciousness.

She shook her head, but still felt dizzy, as if the whole room was shaking.

"Baby, are you alright? Why don't we stop thinking about it and rest for a bit? Is it possible that they were actually looking for you?"

Melos quickly reached out to support her and asked with concern.

Lin Xiyue, however, remained oblivious, continuing to immerse herself in the strange images she had witnessed.

She shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off the chaotic thoughts, but the more she did so, the more dizzy she felt, as if countless needles were darting around in her brain.

"No...it's impossible. Back then, I shouldn't have been...not in this world."

Lin Xiyue finally snapped out of her daze. Her eyes widened as she stared at Molos in astonishment, her voice rising an octave involuntarily.
