Ark of the Immortal

"You don't look very happy to see him."

"PhD?!"

Laurentina couldn't understand what this meant.

Why is the Doctor here?

Gladia couldn't understand it even more.

However, the doctor's attention quickly turned away from the two men.

When he saw the bald head behind Gladia, the doctor paused.

"Patch?"

"We are old acquaintances."

Patch was a little surprised when he saw the doctor, but he quickly lowered his head.

"I should have thought of it earlier. If it hadn't been for you, how could there be so many people..."

Gladia looked at the two of them looking familiar, and her surprise had reached its peak.

The tall deep-sea hunter took a step forward and couldn't help but ask.

"Do you know each other?"

The doctor looked back and nodded.

"Yes, we know each other."

"We've known each other for a long time."

408. Agor is getting closer

The exchange between the four people did not last long.

To put it simply, everyone quickly understood that the doctor and Patch were old acquaintances.

Because Gladia and Laurentina didn't know what this meant.

When Gladia met the Doctor, she had no idea when the Doctor joined Rhode Island.

When Laurentina was still in a coma, she had no impression of the doctor at all.

In the few moments she had to wake up, she heard the operators mention the name Doctor.

Later, when Laurentina finally woke up, the doctor had returned to Rhode Island.

They didn't understand how shocking it was that the Doctor and Patch knew each other.

That means, at least three years ago. Four years ago, when the doctor was still sober, he had already known Patch. And the two of them already knew the facts about the dream.

At that time, Skadi had not even made contact with Rhode Island, and the deep-sea hunters still regarded the dream as their fault.

Under Patch's coaxing and explanation, the two deep-sea hunters went to tinker with the bonfire themselves and test its capabilities.

The doctor and Patch found an open space alone.

They were going to talk.

"When did you wake up?"

Patch asked curiously.

"I remember, the last time you came to this dreamland, it was...well, okay, I can't remember."

"How long have you been mentally here? Of course you can't remember."

The Doctor shook his head as he explained.

"The last time you saw me, I had already woken up once, but that time when I came here, I didn't even realize that this was the idea I proposed."

"And at that time, I had no previous memories and didn't understand what this meant to me."

The doctor seemed a little emotional. He reached out and took off the hood on his face, revealing his original appearance.

He is a very ordinary and normal-looking person. As soon as you see his face, you will understand in your heart that this is a human being, an ordinary person.

And it is this kind of person who is standing with the biggest question in the dream at this time, Patch.

"So, the person I saw last time was you? I thought it was another nightmare."

Patch touched his chin and looked the doctor up and down.

"I remember you were cold and cold before. Why are you back to the same state now?"

"I said, at that time I didn't even have any memories of my past."

The doctor sighed.

"You also know that since Agor was built, I was taken away by Kelsey. Where she took me, I don't know. Where she put me, I don't know either."

"But you told me that she pulled you up again, and this time it seems that she can't remember your identity."

Patch also knew some of the truth about Agor, and there was no barrier to communication between him and the doctor.

"You two, and those old guys, were all so high-spirited when you were working with the undead? How come now, one and two have disappeared, and the other has disappeared, and you are the only one left?"

"Kelsey is here too, but she didn't come in today."

The doctor shook his head.

"You should have seen her yesterday."

"I wasn't here yesterday, I went yesterday..."

Patch said this halfway and then closed his mouth.

"Forget it, it's useless to tell you this now. If you can't get in, no one can get in."

When the doctor heard Patch's sigh, he immediately became interested.

Of course he knew that the one Patch was talking about couldn't get in.

When he woke up last time, although the doctor did not recall the earlier memories, he still had the authority to enter the dreamland due to his superhuman talent and a certain special connection.

I also had a chance to communicate with Patch.

"You told me last time that Agor was blocked. What happened?"

"riot."

Patch took a deep breath and rubbed his palms.

"Some of the gadgets you made back then became Argors. You should have noticed this, but there is another part, those waste products, that are all out of control."

"out of control?"

The doctor said in astonishment.

"Didn't I tell you to destroy them all? Why are they still out of control?"

"It was too urgent at that time. The anchor point of the world barrier needed to be activated, and there were not many people left alive. Kelsey was busy preserving biological seeds, and the time to freeze you was very early. "

Patch explained to the doctor.

"So when the operator executed your order, your voice command was missing, and the destruction procedure was not executed 100%. Some of the waste products flowed into the sea, and those...well, you know."

Patch shrugged his shoulders. He didn't say much, but he knew the doctor must understand what he meant.

As expected, the doctor also reached out and touched his chin twice.

"The undead died too early. It was a week short of the scheduled time."

"That battle was very difficult for him, I can understand that. But the power of the First Fire also disappeared with him. You said it was stolen?"

The doctor looked at Patch, hoping that Patch would give him the answer to this question.

Patch also spoke very decisively.

"This is something beyond his control. The change of generations is not something that humans can achieve."

"The power of the First Fire does not belong to this new generation. But to awaken it, you must be prepared to bear the consequences. Although the result is not bad, it still cannot be changed."

"Even the undead are the same. I think it's not just the deep sea, but also other places. Unrest with the abyss as the core broke out, right?"

Patch seemed to see clearly. He looked at the doctor with deep and powerful eyes.

"Or do you still have the same idea as before, that you can change the world just by relying on your own strength?"

"..."

Hearing this, the doctor fell into a rare silence.

This is indeed what he has always believed. But after experiencing so much, he did change.

The doctor leaned against the wall, standing with his legs crooked.

"I do still have this idea, but I have to change it."

said the doctor.

"Not just me, but also Kelsey, you, and the undead."

"It is the opportunity we have created that gives everyone the opportunity to change the future together."

Patch shook his head and squatted against the wall.

One of the two stood and the other squatted.

Time suddenly stopped here. The two of them stared at the ground in front of them, each thinking about their own matters.

"Do you still have that thing of yours?"

The doctor suddenly turned his head and glanced at Patch.

"That's it, the snack you threw to me before, what do you mean by the ball."

"Moss ball?"

Patch was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed twice.

"Why do you suddenly want to eat this thing at this time?"

As he said that, Patch took out two round objects from behind him.

With a casual wave of his hand, he threw one to the doctor.

This thing called a moss ball is not big, only a thumb. It looks like it can run away when blown by the wind, but in fact it is not light.

The doctor threw the thing into his mouth and chewed it casually.

"Well...it's so painful..."

The expression on the doctor's face suddenly wrinkled.

This stuff is much more bitter than coffee.

"This is a prop that recreates the Age of Fire. It is also a thing that only appears in dreams."

Patch looked at the moss ball in his hand, his tone was slightly nostalgic and softened unconsciously.

"Everything I gave you to eat before was made by myself using other materials. Do you want to know what materials they were made of?"

The doctor paused while chewing the moss ball, and then continued chewing stiffly.

There was a hint of resistance in his voice.

"Forget it, I don't want to hear anything weird."

In the past, when the doctor stayed up late, he relied on this thing called a moss ball to keep himself awake.

At that time, the moss balls Patch gave him had a very refreshing and refreshing taste, which allowed him to stay up for several nights without losing his mind.

The two people's actions seemed like they were squatting in the corner chatting while sneaking out to fish together.

Time suddenly returned to the past. The doctor took a deep breath and felt the bitter taste in his mouth.

The bitter taste turned into a hint of coolness in the end, gradually spreading from the mouth to the whole body.

"How long have you been trapped in a dream?"

The doctor turned his head and looked at Patch.

"Can not remember."
