Chapter 13 The Battle for Memory 3(1/2)
"These code names are not rooms...people!"
"It may also be an animal! or an item! It's casual! In short, it's all very special things, such as the little guy who likes to listen to nursery rhymes and can spit out fire when the cleaner said!" Chen Xiao immediately confirmed this idea as soon as he thought of this, because this guess has appeared in his mind countless times.
Although it will be forgotten next, it still leaves a little trace to the point.
"So, what are I going to face? I come every day, and I have to clear my memory after every time I come?"
Chen Xiao thought, and had already arrived at the front of a door. The door read: "D-391".
"Stand and don't move!" said a guard, and walked to the touch screen next to the door, "Didi~" pressed the password, took out a magnetic card and stroked it.
After that, the door opened.
"Okay, go in!" said another guard standing behind Chen Xiao, pushing him in directly!
————
With the sound of closing the door, Chen Xiao was already standing in the room marked "D-391".
To his surprise, there was nothing strange and crazy incomprehensible here. On the contrary, it was transformed into a very ordinary, similar to the residential houses in old-fashioned communities, including bookcases, lounge chairs, refrigerators, stoves, and other household facilities.
In the middle of this room is a set of wooden tables and chairs. At this time, there is a pot of tea on the table and an old man is sitting next to it.
He is...reading the newspaper!
Over 60 years old, obese, thin hair, far-sighted eyes, rosacea, long-term smoking, sloppy, love to eat meat, poor liver, diabetes, I haven't seen the sun in the past week.
Chen Xiao knew this just after a glance, so his eyebrows were frowning deeper, because what he saw was an ordinary elderly man, just like all the old man who was walking in the park early in the morning. There was no special place at all!
But it was such an ordinary person who seemed to be slightly nervous.
These are the remaining memories telling him that the person in front of him is very dangerous...
What kind of person is Chen Xiao? For example, he can play the Death Revolver with you (the game where the revolver picks out five bullets and one by one) and plays a thrilling person.
So what would this person do to Chen Xiao, making him feel more fearful than death?
At this time, the old man also finished reading the newspaper. He glanced at Chen Xiao who was still standing at the door.
"Come?" he said
It is very easy to say from these two words, as if the family came back from buying vegetables early in the morning, but Chen Xiao came up with a very important message, that is, this old man... can communicate.
"Yes." He agreed lightly.
The old man put down the newspaper, glanced at Chen Xiao, and pointed to the seat opposite the table with his eyes, which meant: "Sit down quickly! What are you polite!"
Chen Xiao was not moved, and the faint sense of crisis in his heart made him particularly cautious. At this moment, he had carefully observed the surrounding environment. It turned out that this place was really like what was shown on the surface. Except for a camera in the corner of the wall, it was a very ordinary room.
When the old man saw that Chen Xiao was not moving, he couldn't help but put on a very helpless expression.
"Hey! You are like this every day. Next, you have to ask a lot of questions, right! OK, ask quickly!" said the old man, and then added another mouth: "That monitor is broken, there is only image. As long as you don't hit me, you can pretend it doesn't exist!"
Chen Xiao was stunned and could ask questions. It seems that this old man has talked to me a lot. Also, if this monitor is broken, it won’t be repaired!
"What do I usually ask?" Chen Xiao said.
The old man took a sip of tea and replied, "It's just asking where is this place? Who am I? What do I do to you?" Speaking of this, he muttered in a low voice: "It's really annoying to ask it every day."
Chen Xiao was not stunned this time, but was shocked!
Can you ask such questions? Do you not even need some rhetoric? It is straightforward and unreasonable! And they are all very critical questions. Do you answer me? He felt a little complicated, and he felt like he had worked hard to come to the boss of the clerk, and then the boss committed suicide.
However, from this sentence, Chen Xiao got not only good news, but also bad news.
The good news is that the old man doesn't seem to be incompatible with answering his own questions, and he can ask very directly. It seems that he doesn't seem like he doesn't answer or asks.
The bad news is that in such blatant questions and answers, I should know a lot of information, but I didn’t leave anything for myself the next day... In other words, is it useless to know this?
No matter what, at least I can know the whole story now.
So Chen Xiao said lightly: "Let me tell me?"
The old man sat up and wanted to tell stories to the child.
"First of all, I don't know where this place is. In short, people are looking for strange things or creatures all over the world, just like me, and then lock them up."
Chen Xiao didn't make any expression, just listened quietly.
"And what about me, starting about 10 years ago, I felt that I was always hungry and it was useless to eat constantly."
As he said that, he patted his big belly, his face full of regret.
"It was only later that I gradually realized that what I needed to eat was not food... but memory!"
When Chen Xiao heard this, he put on an expression of "So that's how it is".
After hearing the strange thing that the old man needed to eat "memory", he was not very surprised. Perhaps it was because he had known the answer before, but he had forgotten it.
It’s not that he must remember clearly what he saw or did after he did, but that he was brought out every day for dinner.
Thinking of this, he still complained: "By the way, this broken organization has caught a group of strange things. It is also a small luoli who moves objects from the air, and the old man who eats memories. Can these settings be so casual?"
No matter how much you complain, Chen Xiao still has to ask another key question.
"That......"
"No!" As soon as he posted a syllable, the old man refused.
"Well...it seems I've really asked many times!" Chen Xiao thought.
Sure enough, the old man explained: "Every time I eat my memory, I will be detected. I don't know where there will be a machine that repeatedly calls "D-level abnormal reaction, D-level abnormal reaction!" So you can't get away with it! Also, I can't let that machine react without touching your memory. And personally, your memory tastes very good!"
"Abnormal reaction of level D... These words rang out at Miko at that time. It seems that this organization has a machine that can track strange things!" Chen Xiao thought.
At the same time, he was silently complaining in his heart: "I'll go! It turns out that memories can taste it..."
He put on a look of "Okay, okay, you're awesome, you're amazing!" He really wanted to talk to this old man about what memories tasted, but now is not the time.
"...In other words, if I come here, you must eat the memory, right? Then you can't eat it all, can you leave it for me?" Chen Xiao asked.
"I can't control it either. Either don't eat it or it's all!" the old man explained helplessly.
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows. Obviously, he meant: "Old guy, you're playing tricks! You want to lie to me, right?"
When the old man saw it, he naturally knew what he meant. After all, he had done the same thing many times.
"Oh, it's very troublesome every time I explain it here!" The old man looked impatient and helpless again.
"There are some orders of memory, so you have to eat it in order. After eating the first one before you can eat the previous one. Your memory is a little different. About five days ago, there was a memory that was very chaotic and I couldn't touch it.
Since I just ate but couldn't read them, I don't know what happened at that time. In short, that memory was like a big rock, blocking all the previous memory behind!"
Chen Xiao thought about it. After Mr. Zou entered the orphanage that night, he did have a very confusing thought, but now when he thinks about it carefully, he can't remember it clearly.
"Did I get mentally ill at that time?" Chen Xiao thought, but soon, he stopped paying attention to this, as if there was a kind of power to prevent Chen Xiao from thinking too much about this issue.
"So that means, after ordinary people arrive at you, they will be eaten directly into infants and toddlers at one time, right? Does that mean that you can't eat enough for babies' memories, because they don't have much memory at all. And I'm a long-term meal ticket!"
The old man took a sip of tea and nodded: "Well, actually, you already know this the day after you come to me."
Chen Xiao frowned and thought to himself: "So, I have always been standing there!"
So the biggest question in front of me now is how can I get out of this room and keep my memory...
Chen Xiao thought for a while and came up with an answer.
no way!
Can you discuss with this old man and let him convince the guards that they would not bring me here tomorrow... it would be impossible. Isn't this obvious telling others that I'm making trouble?
There must be some way.
Um......
Um......
Chen Xiao thought for a while.
"I'm sorry~ I really can't do anything!" He felt powerless in his heart.
At this time, the old man spoke: "Little brother, it's almost done. You have been thinking about it every day for a long time, but... after a long time, the guards will come in. They don't care about the mess. They just send you in to complete the task, so they will do it at that time."
As he said that, he pointed to Chen Xiao's arm: "You insisted on not believing in evil a few days ago, but you ended up being beaten..."
Chen Xiao thought about the bruises on his arm: "It turns out that I was beaten up here for a desperate attempt!"
Well, now that things have come to this point, it seems that there is really nothing to do. Chen Xiao felt powerless in his heart. Since he was in this room, he would definitely not be able to save his memory, so he could only think of a way for the rest of the time.
Chen Xiao looked at the mark on his arm.
"Well... My memory has gradually become accustomed to it because of repeated thinking about something. In other words, is my current plan to delay time? When I am completely used to it, can I immediately recall these things every morning as soon as I wake up? This is all unknown, and even if I can use this to get rid of the trouble of losing my memory, according to the nature of this organization, the difficulty of escaping is not much easier than swimming out of the toilet with water! Can you only wait for an opportunity..."
While thinking, Chen Xiao sat opposite the old man and stroked "D391" on his arm with his nails.
So now, he still has another question, and it is also the one he is most curious about at the moment.
He looked at the other person with a suspicious look on his face. His memory traces were telling him that you would regret it if you asked the following question, but Chen Xiao still asked it.
"Uh... Speaking of which, how did you eat memory?"
The old man scratched his cheeks a little embarrassedly: "You asked this question every day before, and every time I told you, you regret it. Alas... It's okay, in short, you will forget after I finish eating."
"So, how do you always eat?" Chen Xiao had a very bad premonition.
To be continued...
