Chapter 23: Finding Your True Self

"Are you better?" After sitting on the bench for a long time, Huo Miki asked Zhao Bai'an.

The temperature of the marble chair was just right, and it was slightly cool, allowing Zhao Baian to calm down well. Her nausea finally faded away.

"Miki, why are you the Red Queen this time?"

It can't be because the image inventory in her mind has been used up, right? Zhao Bai'an didn't believe that her brain could be so barren.

"Oh, this. Since you asked, I'll tell you first, I wanted to talk to you later. I want to remind you not to forget to discuss the banquet with me, who is the Red Queen. ”

"Banquet?" Zhao Bai'an remembered that last time in Red Heart Island, Huo Miki also mentioned this.

"yes, it's because I couldn't discuss it with you last time, and I've been thinking about it for the past few days."

"Then you can just say no to me now?"

"Oh no, I see." Zhao Baian figured it out when he blurted out the last sentence.

Huo Miki's memories in the subconscious hall can't be taken out, which is why a simple instruction becomes so complicated.

"Okay. But Miki, why are you here? Or why did I come to my subconscious temple again? What are you talking about? Zhao Bai'an felt a little puzzled.

Not to mention that this subconscious temple has become such a strange look in her eyes. The last time I came here, it was because Zhao Bai'an's spirit almost collapsed because of Siqing's matter.

And what about this time? You don't come here for no reason, do you? Although it is true that she cannot control it.

"I'm here, of course, because you need me." Huo Miki, who had the face of a red queen, smiled at Zhao Bai'an, and couldn't help but make her a little dramatic.

"Huh? I feel like I've been okay lately. ”

"Xiaobai, do you really think that everything is still normal?" Fire Miki asked rhetorically.

"Em, if I really have to say anything that is abnormal, it must be my dream. I've been dreaming about strange things every day lately. Even though some of the experiences felt normal, they seemed to be very different from myself. ”

Fire Miki nodded.

Zhao Bai'an continued to recall: "But I am the protagonist of those dreams. At first, I thought it might be another reading of someone close to me...... But ......"

Zhao Bai'an frowned: "Judging from Zichen's incident, I should be a bystander." And now, every time I am the main character, I feel like I am a person who really lives in that world, and I can clearly feel the thoughts and emotions, as well as the past experiences. ”

"But you actually think it's a little weird, don't you?" Fire Miki said.

"Yes, but aren't dreams supposed to be ridiculous?"

"But when the shark chased you and the Internet celebrity restaurant, did you feel strange when you woke up?"

"Em, not really. It was also an overhead experience, but it felt very natural to me at the time. ”

"That's the problem!" Huo Miki was glad that Zhao Bai'an could have a clear feeling about this.

"You...... It's so easy to hack. ”

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"Maybe it's because you can accept almost any point of view. At the same time, you are very good at empathy. Huo Miki is worthy of being Zhao Bai'an's subconscious doppelganger, she knows Zhao Bai'an better than anyone else, "So some of other people's experiences are actually easy to disturb you." ”

"It's not that you read other people's experiences, it's that you're easily disturbed by them. If you compare some of everyone's experiences to a cold virus, then you are the most vulnerable person in the population, and you are far more vulnerable than ordinary people. ”

"You keep an open mind to the world, so there are no barriers on your outside." Huo Miki emphasized the "outside", and sure enough, it was impossible for Zhao Bai'an's deepest heart, which had no waves in everything, to hide from her.

"So." Huo Miki continued to analyze, "Those fragments that you have experienced recently are actually inadvertently and indirectly received some experiences from other people. That's why you wake up and feel strange, this is the most essential rejection of foreign objects by the body. ”

"But I'm not a bystander, and some things can't be real experiences at all!"

For example, an empty city, an overdrawn pill for happiness, and a person whose sense of presence is low enough to be comparable to that of a transparent person......

"Yes, I know all of that. And I know why. ”

"Why?"

"Because your broken dreams are likely to come from a friend you don't know well, or even just from a passerby. So you can only read a small part and not go deeper. And then you! Huo Miki poked Zhao Bai'an's head, "I will add to the loopholes in this experience according to my own understanding." ”

"Huh? So that's why some of them get so weird? ”

My brain hole is a little too big! Zhao Baian was shocked by this.

"I think sometimes you just keep all the emotions and attitudes of the other person. And then based on these, you create similar but extremely absurd stories. ”

Huo Miki smiled at Zhao Bai'an: "So Xiaobai, do you understand?" The reason for calling me over this time. ”

"It's to sort it all out with me, isn't it?"

Huo Miki continued to smile and shook his head, saying, "It's for you to find the real you." ”

"Huh?"

Which one is this?

"You're about to be overwhelmed by these debris!" It felt like Huo Miki was anxious and helpless, "I know it's absolutely impossible for you to change some of your minds and erect a wall to the world on the surface. After all, you sometimes deliberately blur the differences between people, don't you? ”

"You can be the one who treats everything equally, but you can't lose your true self because of this!" Huo Miki poked Zhao Bai'an's heart with his index finger.

"When you describe to me what this church looks like in your eyes, I already realized the problem: if you let yourself go on like this, you will be eroded by the world and have no complete self!" Miki Huo's tone intensified and became extremely serious.

"So, Xiaobai, go find the real you. You can accept them all, but you must not get lost. What is your attitude towards life? Why do you exist in this world? What does success mean to you? And you, what kind of life do you want? Every word and sentence of her seemed to hit Zhao Bai'an's heart.

"Only then can you put this church back together." Huo Miki stood up from the chair and stretched out his left hand to Zhao Bai'an again, "It's almost time, it's time to go back." ”

Huo Miki pulled Zhao Bai'an up from the bench and led her to the wooden door.

"By the way, Miki, a digression. What exactly do these two doors do? The experience of pushing and pulling the milky white door just now without moving is still vivid for Zhao Bai'an.

"What, don't you know? The gate over there is only to enter, and if you want to get out of here, you have to go through this wooden gate. ”

"But...... So how did you get here? Zhao Bai'an remembered that the fire Miki who looked like Chen Yudi last time was walking towards her from the direction of the wooden door.

"Me? I'll only be in that enclosure when you need me, just like how I was born. This time I arrived too early, and you came too slowly, and I fell asleep in my chair. Miki muttered quietly.

It seems that Zhao Bai'an has a mindset, thinking that those who come from that direction are coming out of the wooden door.

"And what if I didn't find the wooden door when I first came here?"

So hidden, after all.

"Then I'll be stuck here forever." Fire Miki shrugged disapprovingly.

"Huh!"

Don't you think that's a terrible thing! And apparently Zhao Bai'an didn't leave the door when she first came here, although she didn't know how to get there at all.

But if she wants to come here after all, it is her own territory, even if she can't find a hidden exit at that time, Zhao Bai'an shouldn't be able to pit herself, right?

Zhao Bai'an asked again: "Then Miki, have you tried to push and push the milky white gate?" ”

Judging by the fact that the door to the activity room and the door to the bathroom are opened in opposite directions, the door can definitely be opened in both directions.

Zhao Baian added: "Just because I can't push doesn't mean you can't either." ”

"No, I don't want to try either." Unexpectedly, Huo Miki's answer was unusually resolute.

"Well, don't let digressions overshadow the most important thing of the day." Standing in front of the wooden door, Huo Miki grabbed Zhao Bai'an's shoulders, and his fiery red eyes looked directly into her black eyes, "Remember, think hard, find the answer, and don't be swallowed by the world." ”

"Yes, I see! Let's go. ”

Zhao Bai'an and Huo Miki pushed open the wooden door together.
