Chapter 442: Terrible Answer
Hey? What's going on? I, have I always been so good at analytical? Before I knew it, I was able to analyze so many things...... Is such a strong analytical and reasoning ability possessed by ordinary people? Or am I like that as I usually do? This has been the case in the past?
Damn, I can't remember, I can't remember, I can't remember, except for what happened recently, all the memories of the earlier ones are gone, why? Why is this happening!?
………
At present, Chen Wen is in a state of confusion, but the more he does this, the more he thinks that he may really be another person!
After being stunned for about a minute, Chen Wen suddenly came back to his senses, and his expression froze as if he suddenly remembered something, came to the door, quietly pushed open the door and came to the living room, looking at the coffee table, and sure enough, his father's mobile phone was still placed on the coffee table table as usual.
This is his father's old habit, the other party often forgets his mobile phone in the living room because he watches the football game too late, but this time it provides great convenience for Chen Wen, because ......
He wanted to prove one thing!
Picked up the mobile phone and returned to the bedroom, fiddled for a while, opened the phonebook interface of his father's mobile phone, and saw that there were many groups in it, including family members, friends and colleagues.
After thinking for a while, Chen Wen dialed the landline phone at his grandfather's house.
Honk...... Honk...... Honk......
The call rang for a long time, and no one answered, after all, the time had entered about 1 o'clock in the morning, and it was estimated that the vast majority of people who were on the night shift were sleeping during this time period, although it was immoral to disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night, but for the current Chen Wen, he couldn't take care of it so much.
Speaking of his grandfather and grandmother, in Chen Wen's memory that I don't know whether it is true or false, it is quite impressive, grandma died of illness a few years ago, and grandpa is a very kind old man, who worked as an accountant in a factory before retirement, and has always loved fishing after retirement, and loves his only grandson Chen Wen very much.
Honk...... Honk......
Crash.
Coincidentally, the call continued, and no one answered for a long time, just when Chen Wen thought that no one would answer in the middle of the night and was about to hang up, as the landline phone was picked up, an old voice came out of the phone:
"Hello? Who? ...... in the middle of the night"
There is no doubt that the other party was slightly dissatisfied because he was disturbed in the middle of the night, in addition to instinctive inquiry, he also added an additional complaining whisper, Chen Wen thought about it, after all, some old-fashioned landlines do not have caller ID, so grandpa didn't know who the other party was, thinking of this, Chen Wen did not hesitate, and hurriedly put his mobile phone next to his ear and replied: "Grandpa, it's me, I'm Wenwen!" ”
After Chen Wen's words were finished, the other end of the phone did not answer immediately, it seemed that the old man was a little surprised to receive a call from his grandson in the middle of the night, and then the surprise was surprised, and the accident was an accident, confirming the other party's favorite grandson, and soon, the old man's voice came again:
"Ah, it turned out to be Wenwen, I've been missing you lately, I dreamed of you when I slept a few days ago, oh, by the way, why did you call grandpa in the middle of the night? Is there something wrong? ”
"Uh...... That, it's okay grandpa, I have insomnia tonight, and I suddenly miss you a little, so I'll call you with my dad's mobile phone that he forgot in the living room. ”
"Hehe, I miss grandpa, it's okay, don't look at grandpa's place far away from you, but won't you be able to come to see grandpa when you have a holiday?"
The grandfather and grandson chatted, and during the chat, Chen Wen kept intentionally or unintentionally introducing the topic to his relatives, and sure enough, as the topic continued to shift, Chen Wen saw the opportunity to interject: "By the way, grandpa, when it comes to my aunt's family, I want to ask you a question." ”
"Just ask what's going on."
With the other party's consent, Chen Wen first thought for a moment, and then asked in a slightly dignified tone:
"Grandpa, can you tell me something about my cousin?"
Obviously, in order to confirm a certain speculation, coupled with the frequent dreams that have appeared recently, the young man is full of curiosity about the cousin Ye Wei who once gave him a ring, and he has learned too little news from his parents, in this case, why not get clues from others?
So, with curiosity and anticipation, Chen Wen asked his grandfather a question, expecting that the old man would answer casually as he had just chatted, and then say everything he wanted to know......
The other party did not answer casually as expected, but was silent for the time being, and after about seven or eight seconds, the old man asked over the phone as if he didn't hear clearly:
"Wenwen, what are you talking about? Your cousin? ”
The old man's words were full of suspicion, and Chen Wen instinctively thought that the other party was old and a little forgetful, so the other party's voice fell, and Chen Wen reminded while nodding: "Yes, yes, it's my cousin Ye Wei, who is studying at a business university in another province." ”
This time, Rao was reminded by Chen Wen that Rao is grandson had directly said the other party's name, but the grandfather on the other end of the phone was still as silent as he had just now, feeling that the grandfather on the other end seemed to be looking up to recall, and then tried to think of something as much as possible.
The young man thought so, and this is indeed the case, in fact, when he heard the name of his cousin Ye Wei from his grandson, the old man raised his head and fell into a state of memory, after all, he was old, and the memory of the old man was indeed a little inferior compared to when he was young.
For a while, the two sides of the call fell silent, the only difference was that one of the two sides was waiting and the other was thinking about memories.
"Ahem."
Nearly a minute passed, and finally, with a light cough, Grandpa's voice came again, or the question that Chen Wen had been curious about for a long time was about to be answered, however, who would have thought ......
After coughing lightly, the other party said a word, a word that exceeded expectations, and a suspicious word that directly caused Chen Wenru to fall into the ice cellar:
"Cousin? Ye Wei? I said Wenwen, your aunt and your uncle have a daughter, but the other party is younger than you, and she is still in the first year of junior high school, that is your cousin, you ......"
"You don't have a cousin at all, do you?"
Silence, silence, silence.
There was a trace of coldness in the air, the coldness entered the soles of the feet, and then climbed all the way from the soles of the feet like lightning, sweeping the whole body, reaching the top of the head, the frozen Chen Wenwen could make a cold meal, and the startled young man was stunned for a while.
Finally, the cold sweat that had disappeared for a long time resurfaced, and this time, the sweat was more than before!
"Hello? Feed? Text? Wenwen, why don't you speak? ”
As mentioned above, hearing this, Chen Wen's forehead began to break out in a cold sweat, and the whole person held the mobile phone as if he had been immobilized, until the old man on the other end of the phone asked, suddenly came back to his senses, swallowed saliva, Xu Wei still thought that his grandfather had forgotten because of his old age and Xu Wei still had a certain bit of luck, with the last trace of unwillingness, Chen Wen hurriedly asked: "Then, what is my cousin's name?" ”
Confirming that the grandson finally replied, and listened to the other party's perseverance and continued to ask, although he wanted to answer the other party, but before answering, the old man couldn't help but say in a slightly complaining tone: "You kid shouldn't have forgotten your cousin's name, right?" I haven't even forgotten my age, you're young......"
"Grandpa, tell me first, tell me what my cousin's name is?"
"Well, okay, your uncle is not surnamed Ye, but Zhou, and your cousin is called Zhou Zhenzhen."
After getting all the answers from his grandfather, and after the other party said the true answer that Chen Wen wanted to know, Chen Wen's body shook, and then he walked to the bed and sat down slowly, the whole person fell silent and did not speak for a long time.
"Hello? Wenwen, what's wrong with you? ”
Sensing that there was no movement on the other end of the phone for half a day, the old man asked worriedly.
Chen Wen picked up the phone again and replied with a reluctant smile: "Ah, it's okay, it's okay grandpa, that, I'm so sleepy now, I'm going to sleep." ”
"Hey, you kid, it turned out that you were sleepy, you just scared me, that's okay, Wenwen, you sleep, I'm going back to sleep."
After getting his grandson's reply, the old man was relieved, and after the two parties agreed to return to his hometown during the holiday, Chen Wen hung up the phone.
And then......
Chen Wen set off a turbulent wave in his heart!
Yes, through the conversation with his grandfather just now, Chen Wen is now 100% sure of that matter, and then concludes that there is an amazing fact that Rao does not want to believe and must believe, that is......
Not only was his memory tampered with, but even his parents' memories were tampered with!
Otherwise, why did his father and mother tell him that he had a cousin named Ye Wei in the first place?
In fact?
In fact, I don't have a cousin at all!
Why do parents lie to themselves?
The answer is that there is no need to lie to yourself, since parents do not need to deceive themselves, then, the only answer is:
Crabs!
In addition to himself and all the students in Class 2 of the third year of high school, the mantis also manipulated his parents and partially tampered with his memory.
But......
The so-called hundred secrets must be sparse, just like there are few mortal situations in the world, even if the mysterious creature has the ability to tamper with human memory, but fortunately, the other party only moved the memory of Chen Wen and his surrounding relatives or acquaintances, and the scope of influence is not large, maybe the mantis is not capable enough or the mantis don't care too much, Rao modified the memories of Chen Wen and his parents, but it did not affect Chen Wen's relatives who are far away, and it is because of this that Chen Wenhui learned the truth from his grandfather.
What is the truth?
The truth is that Ye Wei does not exist, and he Chen Wen has never had a cousin.
That's right, it's just that in this way, that's ......
What about the ring on his hand?
Thinking of this, he lowered his head slightly, looked at his left hand, and looked at the sapphire ring on his ring finger.
(Well, since we can't figure out the ring, let's put it aside for now.) )
Because he knew that only a fool would do such a thing, and he really couldn't figure out the origin of the ring, he shook his head, and the young man temporarily suppressed this doubt, not to mention that the biggest problem at present is not to investigate the source of the ring, but to continue to confirm and confirm the second thing.
Namely......
Is he Chen Wen or not!!
Thinking of this, sure enough, Chen Wen picked up the mobile phone again, browsed the number and thought for a while, and finally dialed his uncle's mobile phone, and the reason why he chose to call his uncle this time was also very simple, first of all, the other party lived far away like his grandfather, and secondly, the other party's profession was a teacher.
Honk...... Honk...... Honk......
As said earlier, the middle of the night is during the rest, it is conceivable that at this time to get up and listen to the phone, presumably anyone will be unhappy, and even many people are reluctant to answer, however, in order to confirm the speculation in his heart, but also to solve this terrible incident as soon as possible, Rao is mobile phone is busy ringing, Rao has not answered the other party for a long time, but Chen Wen still dialed repeatedly, finally, when the fourth dial passed, after waiting for a while, the other end of the phone was finally answered, and the first thing that came from the earpiece was indeed a sleepy voice:
"Hello? Brother-in-law, what's wrong? What's the matter with you calling my phone in the middle of the night? I have a class tomorrow. "Yes, because the owner of this mobile phone is Chen Wen's father, so after the phone is connected, he instinctively mistook the identity of the convenience, seeing this, Chen Wen was slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly corrected: "Eh, uncle, I am Wenwen." ”
After hearing that it was not his brother-in-law but his nephew, on the other end of the phone, his uncle's originally helpless voice instantly changed 180 degrees, and suddenly turned to stern:
"What? Feifei? What are you kid doing with your dad's phone if you don't sleep in the middle of the night!? I'm going to go back to work tomorrow, okay, okay, hang up the phone! ”
"Wait! Wait a minute! I'm in trouble! ”
"Can't you talk about it tomorrow? I'm so sleepy right now. ”
"That's right, I'm calling you this time to ask you a question, as long as you answer me, then I'll hang up immediately and won't disturb your rest, if you hang up now......"
"Then I'll fight hard!"
"Damn! You kid, you ...... What do you want me to say about you, hey, okay, what questions to ask quickly, don't delay my sleep. ”
After confirming that the 'threat' was valid, and after getting his uncle's consent, Chen Wenzi, who had already made up his mind in his heart, followed up and asked: "Uncle, how is my usual academic performance?" ”
I didn't expect my nephew to ask such a strange question, after hearing it, the other party was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a puzzled tone: "Huh? Why do you ask this? What do you mean? Don't you know how well you are doing in your own studies? ”
"Nothing interesting, huh? It's just a question, and if you finish answering, I'll hang up the phone immediately and won't disturb your uncle's rest. ”
Yes, Chen Wen's purpose is very clear, since the mantis has tampered with the memories of his parents, teachers and classmates who have to be in contact all day long, then some questions asked to the people around him are destined to not get real answers, based on this, after thinking about it, Chen Wen remembered Huishan City, which borders Zhenping City, and his uncle is a teacher in Huishan City, perhaps, you can get real answers from the other party!
Xu was too sleepy and didn't want to think about it, and his nephew kept urging, and finally, the uncle on the other end of the phone finally stopped worrying about why the other party asked such a strange question, and then answered truthfully: "You kid is embarrassed to ask me how your academic performance is?" Your academic performance has never been good since you were a child, and you have never passed almost every exam in mathematics, English, history and other subjects, if I hadn't asked my old classmate who was the director of teaching in 21 to go through the back door for you, I guess you wouldn't even be able to go to high school! And you failed most of the exams last year, so I really don't know what you will do in the future...... You kid, hey, sad people......"
"Eh, let's do this first, don't disturb my uncle's rest, I'll hang up first."
Without waiting for the uncle's gushing sound on the phone to end, Chen Wen took the initiative to end the call and put the phone back on the table, and then the young man got up and walked to the bedroom window and exhaled deeply.
As mentioned before, in Chen Wen's personal memory, in the impression of his parents, teachers, classmates and even everyone, Chen Wen's academic performance has always been at the upper level of the class, and his academic performance can be said to be very good, although it is not outstanding, but it can be regarded as excellent.
However......
Just now, in that phone call, Chen Wen was a student with poor academic performance in his uncle's mouth!
The contrast is too great!
So......
At this moment, Chen Wen understood, understood, and he could finally be completely sure......
You are not yourself!
Chen Wen is not the real Chen Wen!
Since you are sure that you are not Chen Wen, where is the real Chen Wen? And ...... for yourself
And who?
No, I don't know, I don't know, maybe the real Chen Wen has died or been transferred to another place, as for the parents, classmates and acquaintances around Chen Wen still regard him as the real Chen Wen, it is also due to the interference of the mantis, because of the mantis's memory tampering, he still thinks that he is the real Chen Wen.
It's a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it's true.
(Leaving aside where is the real Chen Wen for the time being?) If all of the above is true, then who am I, the person who bears the identity of Chen Wen? )
Who am I?
Who the hell am I!?
How does a person react when they suddenly learn that they are not themselves but someone else?
How does a person react when he suddenly learns that not only himself, but also his acquaintances have been indoctrinated with false memories?
Fear!
Fear never before, even more than death!
What could be more terrifying? Perhaps the weirdest and most terrible thing in the world is like this!
At this moment, staring at the night outside the window, the more Chen Wen thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and then, the young man turned around, he moved, as if he wanted to go out and do something, however......
At this moment, at the moment when the frightened Chen Wen was about to leave the bedroom and then plan to do something, sleepiness struck.
A sudden and irresistible intense sleepiness suddenly swept through the young man's brain!
Yes, the sleepiness came too suddenly, too quickly, causing Chen Wen, who was still awake just now, to be unstable in an instant, his steps staggered, and the whole person retreated again and again, until there was no way to retreat, until he retreated to the side of the bed, and then ......
Poof.
Chen Wen fell on his back, and just lay flat on the bed and fell asleep on the spot.
At the same time, when Chen Wen falls asleep quickly because he can't bear the sleepiness, if he looks at the wall and looks at the clock, then he will find that the time displayed by the clock at this moment is:
Two o'clock in the morning.
