Chapter 148 The Past Self
Luo Xi was basically certain that he was dreaming.
And, should be a nightmare.
This is the unique effect of that numbered card.
The holder will enter dreams when sleeping, and it must be a nightmare.
A nightmare, also known as a nightmare or horror dream, is a dream experience characterized by terror, which can manifest as fear or impatience. It is a sleep disorder that is often accompanied by mental trauma
But Luo Xi is certain that, at least for himself, this is not a nightmare, and it will not cause any mental damage to himself.
If it must be said that there is, then the 'Luo Xi' outside the mirror will be damaged.
Luo Xi looked over.
Luo Xi outside the mirror obviously noticed the strange changes in the mirror, and began to become more frightened and impatient.
He was so frightened that he stood up from his chair and accidentally kicked the wooden chair to the ground.
"Who are you?"
This Luo Xi asked.
Just a little lack of confidence.
“We?” Glasses Luo Xi was good at talking. At this time, he sneered: “We are you. You are Luo Xi, so are we. We are the same thing. You are in trouble and Tell me about your dilemma, and maybe I can help you solve it, but it just requires you to pay a little price."
Luo Xi remembered that the other party seemed to have said this to him at some point.
"Really? You can help me?" The 'Luo Xi' outside the mirror obviously has a tendency to seek medical treatment in a hurry.
"Of course, so just tell me and I will analyze it for you." Glasses Luo Xi further deceived her.
"Wei Si betrayed us and killed us all. What should we do? What should we do?" Luo Xi outside the mirror asked with eyes wide open.
There was a sudden click and a crack opened in the mirror.
At the huge noise, Luo Xi outside the mirror was frightened and ran away hastily. As he moved away, Luo Xi found that herself in the mirror, including other personalities, were also quickly moving away from the mirror, as if she had suddenly sat on a conveyor belt.
The conveyor belt points toward darkness.
“Dimension Four betrayed us”
“It’s Dimension Four again!”
In the darkness, as the cracks on the mirror that could no longer be seen in the distance became more and more severe More and more, the loud noise became more and more intense. Finally, after the sound of the earth falling apart, Luo Xi felt his body sinking down. When he opened his eyes again, he had reached his bedroom.
It was still the same home, still the same bed. I looked at the time, July 29, Monday, 6:09 in the morning.
Luo Xi checked the card ring in his hand, and then as expected, the call came.
And, there’s more than one.
Wu Rui, Mao Ge, Guo Zening, and this time Fatty Qian and Ke Lan are also added.
While making the phone call, Luo Xi looked out the window. The city in the early morning seemed to be waking up. At this moment, there may be many other memory collectors waking up, and there are also many people who have been in the previous cycle. In the day, I lost my memory and became an amnesiac.
After agreeing on a time and place to meet, Luo Xi hung up the phone.
What surprised Luo Xi was that there was a knock on the door at this time.
Is anyone home?
Luo Xi immediately walked over and picked up a pen on the table.
Although Luo Xi doesn't like Wu Rui's killing method, it has to be said that it is still very practical at critical moments.
Opening the door, there was a beautiful woman standing outside. She was wearing an apron. She naturally said hello after seeing Luo Xi.
"It's you!" Luo Xi was a little surprised. This woman was Xu Lin who pretended to be his mother according to the plan he had made.
A rather mysterious woman.
Her ability is to pretend to be another person without any clues.
On the last cycle day, Luo Xi asked the other party to pretend to be a member of the Eternal Society to break into it, but there was no contact after that. Unexpectedly, after a cycle day, Xu Lin actually found her back.
This woman seems to only listen to the instructions arranged by her 'former self'.
So in fact, Luo Xi does not trust the other party 100%.
"Luo Xi, I cooked noodles for you, as well as a poached egg and chopped green onion." Xu Lin pointed to the dining table over there, and there was indeed a bowl of hot noodle soup on it.
Luo Xi smelled the smell, and walked over to see how the bowl of noodles was presented, and it was indeed in line with his taste.
This smell reminds Luo Xi of some deeply buried memories.
In my memory, there is also a bowl of hot noodle soup with poached eggs, and my mother's nagging.
But these memories are like broken glass, not only messy, but also 'hurt' yourself with every touch. .
Luo Xi felt a sting in his head. He couldn't help but put his hand to his temple. He could feel the blood vessels under his temple pulsing with his fingers.
"Luo Xi. Luo Xi"
Xu Lin's shout brought Luo Xi back from an inexplicable state.
Luo Xi looked over, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
"He asked you to come?" Luo Xi asked.
Xu Lin nodded.
"Did he ask you to make noodles?"
"Yes, although I don't know what the meaning of this is." Xu Lin had a trace of curiosity in her eyes.
"So you are indeed just a pawn of his." Luo Xi had returned to normal at this time: "Then, what else did he ask you to do?"
Xu Lin shook her head: "No, just saying, if If you become a memory collector, then after a cycle day, I will come here to make you a bowl of noodles, how to cut the vegetables, how much water to put, how much seasoning, and even green onions. The number of flowers has been determined."
"Can you tell me?"
"Yes, these are not confidential. In fact, I also want to know what the purpose of this is." It can be seen that Xu Lin is really curious as to why Luo Xi would teach her how to make noodles, just to make a bowl of noodles at this time.
Anyway, this matter seemed very baffling to her.
However, no matter what the request is, she will fulfill it without compromise.
Luo Xi looked at Xu Lin and said, "He chose a good person!"
"What?" Xu Lin was stunned.
Luo Xi shook his head, obviously not intending to explain, but went to get a pair of chopsticks and sat at the dining table and started eating noodles.
For a while, the only sound in the room was Luo Xi's eating, which was very slight, even when he was sucking noodles.
Xu Lin spoke again at this time: "The Eternal Society will know that you are back, and they have already begun to make some plans against you. However, I have not found any valuable information. You must be careful, they may attack you at any time." Take action."
"I know this." Luo Xi naturally still remembered the Han Lingling who was at Doudou Bookstore on the last cycle day. The other party had hidden it deeply from the beginning to the end, but he still saw the flaw and borrowed it. An Zhiyan and Aunt Qin destroyed each other with their hands.
Luo Xi knew at that time that Han Lingling might be a member of the Eternal Society.
Because, it’s crazy enough.
"In addition, people from the Eternal Society are also conquering the level scenes. On the recent cycle day, they gathered their strength to conquer the 'Dolphin Mental Hospital'. I heard that you can get at least three numbered cards there."
"Is this what he told you?" Luo Xi asked while eating noodles.
"You told me that you asked me to work as an undercover agent in Eternity. This is the information I found out."
"Is there any other information?"
"It's gone for the time being. Anyway, the people in the Eternal Society are becoming more and more mysterious now, especially after you become a memory collector." "I understand. If there is nothing else, you can continue to do your thing." Luo Xi took a sip. Tang, and at the same time issued an order to expel guests.
Xu Lin nodded awkwardly: "Then I'm leaving."
She walked to the door and took the garbage in the trash can downstairs.
When he heard the footsteps outside, Luo Xi put down his chopsticks and covered his head again.
The pain never eases.
And there are signs of gradual worsening.
It's like something is growing rapidly in my head.
The reason for this unexpected reaction was the seemingly ordinary bowl of poached egg noodle soup on the table.
"Why did I specially arrange for Xu Lin to make noodles for me at this time?" Luo Xi believes that no matter in the past, present or future, the way he does things and the way he thinks about problems will not be the same. Change occurs.
That means not talking nonsense or doing meaningless things.
In fact, the splitting headache is the effect of this bowl of poached egg noodle soup.
It's not because the noodle soup was poisoned.
"It is a memory hidden in the deep consciousness. The noodle soup is just a switch, but it is not clear whether this memory is true or false."
Luo Xi only remembers that she does not have a mother. .
So after discovering that her mother was pretended to be Xu Lin on the first cycle day, Luo Xi thought that her so-called mother was just a set memory.
But now a bowl of noodle soup evokes a lot of broken things, but some of these things are like bubbles, broken before they can be seen clearly, and some are sharp glass fragments. When enduring the pain Go check it out, and you may only see a moment.
This was the main reason why Luo Xi had a splitting headache.
And this is not the only thing that makes people upset.
And the nightmare from before.
Luo Xi summoned the card book with a painful expression. After opening it, he found the [Nightmare] numbered 044.
“How long has it been since you had a dream?”
This is the last line in the card description.
A rhetorical question.
But what comes out of this is worth pondering and exploring.
“If the day of confinement is a false world, people trapped here will not have such a thing as dreams. After death, they will immediately enter the next cycle day. That moment is equivalent to Rebirth, and then it starts over again, so in a false world, there is no need to set up a dream.”
“But this card brings a nightmare, and the elements that make up the dream are also from my memory. Extracted.”
This is easy to infer.
Because the personalities that appear in nightmares and what they say are 'secrets' that only you can know. No one in this world knows the existence of these personalities except yourself.
“In the absence of other clues, I can only regard this as [Nightmare]. The effect of this card, the dream, and the elements that make up the dream are all my memories and experiences. But what’s ridiculous is that this card actually thinks that it can scare me and think that I will be scared by making a setting that swaps me and my personality. This is really too naive and childish. .”
At this time, Luo Xi thought of another possibility.
With a splitting headache, he seemed to be thinking much slower.
He pressed his temples hard with his fingers, as if this could relieve the pain. It seemed that it really had a little effect.
“Another possibility is that everything in the dream was not made up based on memory, nor was it rewoven out of memory because of my fear. Because I have [absolute sanity], so another possibility Sex is that that scene is what really happened. In other words, I am also one of many personalities, and outside the mirror Luo Xi, who was crying in front of him, was the real identity, but later on, I became the subject. Maybe, I killed him?”
“That was me before, the real me.”
These guesses are just guesses without any memory to support them. Luo Xi just made assumptions based on logic and possibility.
But many times, the truth is hidden among many assumptions.
The ringing of the phone interrupted Luo Xi's difficult thoughts in pain.
The number is unfamiliar, but Luo Xi has a good memory. He seems to remember the number, but the pain in his head makes it difficult for him to concentrate and recall.
After answering the phone, Luo Xi pressed the release button, because when the phone was close to his head, his head hurt even more.
"Hey, is it Brother Luo? I'm Ma Ling, do you still remember me?"
"Yes, I remember."
The memory collector I met at Doudou Bookstore was wearing glasses and a plaid shirt. He was a very potential memory collector. In Luo Xi's view, Ma Ling's potential is no less than Ke Lan's, and even better in some aspects.
"Sorry, I died in the hands of an angel on the last cycle day, but it wasn't me who couldn't hold my breath, it was that Han Lingling."
"I know everything, and , I have avenged you."
< br>"Really? Brother Luo, you are as powerful as I thought. I actually don't have any partners, so can I follow you?"
"If it is to explore the day of confinement and conquer the scene, Of course.”
"That's great."
After agreeing on the meeting place and time, Luo Xi hung up the phone.
Drinking some water, the headache symptoms seemed to be relieved a little. Of course, there is also a possibility that Luo Xi has become accustomed to this kind of pain.
"I need to get some painkillers." Luo Xi opened the medicine cabinet at home and found several boxes of unpacked painkillers.
This made him stunned.
In the past, he would never take this kind of medicine, so he would not buy medicine that he never uses and keep it at home.
Did Xu Lin buy it?
It's possible, but she hasn't eaten it either.
Luo Xi recalled that there seemed to be several boxes of painkillers here, which were placed before the cycle day, so every cycle, no matter whether they were moved or not, they were still there. , next time, and the next time, it’s the same.
Luo Xi took it out, opened the package, and ate two slices with water.
After a while, the headache symptoms were relieved a lot.
Luo Xi looked at the painkillers in his hand with a suspicious look on his face. He found that on the back of the medicine box, someone had written a series of numbers with a ballpoint pen.
073216944459006600.
It’s the kind of thing written casually without any meaning.
But Luo Xi stared at this string of numbers, stunned for a moment, then got up and walked to the bookshelf, taking out "Memory" over there.
Then he opened the pages of the book, seemingly searching for something with purpose, and then used another pen to write under the numbers on the medicine box next to him.
When he finished writing the last word, a strange smile appeared on Luo Xi's face.
Then he took the books and medicine with him and walked out of the house.
“I have discovered this problem before, but I just haven’t found the answer. If I was once a memory collector, then when I was a memory collector last time, where and when did I wake up and enter the cycle? It’s unlikely to be in this place, because this place is fake, including my job. And this is the biggest problem. Since I am not a customer service staff and I don’t live here, then I What did I do before? Where is my real home? "
"If this place is fake, then who can have such a terrifying ability in the days of confinement? In the setting mechanism, the identity of a memory collector is forcibly changed and the memory is forged. And the other party seems to know that I will need painkillers on a cycle day, so even the medicine is prepared in advance.”
Luo Xi went downstairs and looked at the breakfast stall in the distance. Instead of walking over, he chose another direction.
“It was the bowl of noodles that caused the headache, and the noodles were the me who taught Xu Lin how to make them and when to make them. So the me in the past was either the initiator of all this, or, He had something to do with it."
"Who was that former self?"
"And he left me an address in a digital password. What did he want to do?"
