Chapter 14: The Battle for Memories IV
With the sound of "coo", Chen Xiao's memory was lost little by little, and finally, he fell into a coma.
......
A white space, surrounded by nothingness.
In the void, there is a cage floating in which a man is kept.
The man was thin, wearing a purple gown, but crumpled and crumpled. At this moment, he is lying in the center of the cage, with large characters on his back.
He's sleeping.
With a pointed nose and a pointed chin, his face was frighteningly white, the corners of his mouth were enough to grin to the base of his ears, and he was scarlet with something he didn't know, and he looked like a ridiculous clown.
Suddenly.
A man silently appeared in the void, standing quietly in front of the cage.
The man had a hooked nose and a slightly wide chin, and he wore a deer-hunting hat, a dark brown cape, and a pipe.
He looked at the "clown" in the cage lightly, and his eyes were extremely calm......
"Hey, brother, you're finally here......." the clown began, his voice sharp and annoying.
He opened his eyes.
The inverted triangle, with a lot of whites of the eyes, and the miserable white face is not beautiful, but anyone who has seen these eyes will not care about this.
Because people will only notice what is shown in his gaze.
No one could tell what was in his eyes, in short, strange and chaotic, one second still exuding bitterness and sadness, and the next second it became a murderer-like bloodthirsty. Countless emotions kept changing in these eyes, mixing together haphazardly, and finally there was only one word left to describe.
Crazy!
The clown threw himself directly to the cage with his hands and feet, desperately trying to squeeze his head through the gap in the fence, of course, everyone knew that it was impossible, but he still tried very hard to do it, and said as he did it.
"Please! Let me out! Please! I can't stand it! Ahhh ”
He prayed and cried out, sounding in pain, but his expression seemed to be extremely excited, and ...... He's laughing!
The smile is ugly and can be described as creepy.
But the pipe man standing outside the cage didn't react.
"I know, you're going to let me out." The clown continued: "Don't pretend, I know you, because we are the same kind of people!" ”
The pipe man still didn't speak, and his eyes didn't even change. He hides all his emotions in the deepest depths, and no one can know what he thinks.
The clown didn't care about the indifference of the man in front of him, he was still desperately sticking his face to the fence, staring at his backwater eyes with inverted triangular eyes.
"You...... It's boring, isn't it? ”
The pipe man took the pipe from his mouth and poured the ash into the white void beneath his feet.
"Hahahaha!!" The clown watched him do this and laughed maniacally. Holding his stomach, he rolled straight in the cage.
"Last time I let you out, you bit a man to death and cut his mouth with a knife!" The pipe man said lightly.
When the clown heard this, he put on an innocent look: "You can't blame me, you see the way he looked at the time, he wasn't happy at all, I have to help him!" You see, now he's always laughing! ”
The pipe man is silent......
"There's nothing you can do, there are some things that only I can do!" The clown continued to babble, "You and I both know that we are now in a dead end. He will never get out, he can only think about the same question day after day, and oh my God, this is the most terrible torture for you. ”
"So...... You can't take it anymore, let me out! Let me have some fun for you! ”
The pipe man didn't answer him, just put the pipe back into his cloak, turned around, and disappeared into the void.
"Hahahahaha——————"
The entire space, only the clown's crazy laughter echoed.
......
......
......
Chen Xiao opened his eyes, a strange ceiling.
He sat up and rubbed his face. The finger rested slightly on the wound at the corner of the mouth.
"Hey, hey, hey~"
He smiled inexplicably, then fell silent again.
"Knock knock!" The sound of a baton banging on the iron door sounded punctually, and then a breakfast slipped in through the window under the door.
Chen Xiao walked over, took a look, then picked up the bread and took a bite.
"Hmm~~" He let out a very comfortable sound and nodded with satisfaction.
After that, he threw away the bread, and spit it out on the ground in his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the glass of milk, regardless of the temperature of the hot hand through the cup, and raised his head to drink it cleanly.
"Hiccup~~~"
Chen Xiao hiccuped contentedly and licked her lips again.
Next, he picked up an apple and began to wander around the room boringly.
Time passed.
For lunch, he ate two bites casually. Just lying on the bed tossing and turning.
In the afternoon, he rolled the sheet into a strip and folded it into the shape of a puppy, like the long balloon sellers in the park.
All day, he did meaningless things, didn't think about his lost memories, didn't make any marks, just like a kid waiting to go to a party.
It's boring, but it's more about anticipation and excitement.
Half an hour after dinner, footsteps rang out the door again. for two.
In other words, it's finally about to begin! Chen Xiao was very excited, the corners of his mouth turned up unnaturally twice, and he was immediately pressed back again.
The door opened. The two guards shook their batons as they do every day.
"Hey, come out!"
Chen Xiao didn't say anything, and walked out of the cell obediently.
The three of them walked like this, Chen Xiao in front, and the guards on the left and right in the back.
On the way, I passed the blackened hallway. The cleaners had almost cleaned up, but there were still slight signs of blackening.
"Hey! You went to check the duty schedule after work yesterday, right? Guard A said to the cleaner, his tone full of schadenfreude.
The cleaner put down the cleaning spray in his hand and turned around, his eye sockets were obviously beaten and swollen purple.
But he was in a good mood: "Well, we talked! You know, he weighs less than 160 pounds! ”
"Hahaha, so what?" Guard A asked, he was super interested in hearing about the gossip.
The cleaner straightened his back as if to show off: "He had to apologize to me in the end and invite me to a few more drinks!" ”
As he spoke, he waved his fist like a victor: "Because that's what I asked for!" ”
Although Guard B didn't like to mix these things up, he still thought it was interesting, so he interjected.
"You can't imagine what he's going to suffer when he comes home, he's so scared of his wife!"
"Hahaha!" All three laughed.
At this time, in the midst of laughter, there was suddenly a sharp and piercing sound
"Hey, hey, hey, hey!"
The three of them stared at Chen Xiao inexplicably.
"What are you happy about?"
Chen Xiao slowed down, and said with a breath that had not yet been breathed: "This ...... Funny, isn't it! ”
All three of them froze. They thought Chen Xiao was amused by the conversation between them.
But no, Chen Xiao was laughing at the three of them, who were still laughing here before fear came.
It's so funny!
"Hey, hey, hey, hey!" Chen Xiao started laughing again, and he couldn't stop at all.
One of the guards couldn't stand it anymore and pushed him with a frown: "Hey! Stop laughing, you're laughing so ugly, oh, and your disgusting face. ”
The other guard also had a disgusted expression on his face: "Let's go, finish today's business." This freak! ”
After a while, the three of them came to the door of the room labeled "D-391". The guard expertly entered the code and opened the door to the room.
"Get in!" As usual, another guard pushed Chen Xiao into the room. And closed the door with his hand.
Chen Xiao still wanted to laugh at this time, but he held it hard, which made his face look particularly strange.
The old man put down the newspaper and looked at Chen Xiao with a puzzled expression.
"What's the matter, you seem happy today?"
When Chen Xiao heard this, he finally couldn't hold it back, and he began to laugh again, as if he had lost his strength from laughter, lying on the table, laughing and hammering the table.
"Hehe~ What's wrong?" The old man didn't know what was going on at all, but looking at Chen Xiao's appearance, he also felt like laughing.
"Haha, what's so funny like this...... Hahaha! ”
Laughter is contagious, so the old man laughed too.
"Haha
"Hahaha—"
......
......
After a while, the two of them finally had enough laughter.
Chen Xiao suddenly raised his head and asked, "You're going to eat my memories in a while, right!" ”。
Uncle was stunned.
"You...... How do you know? ”
Chen Xiao grinned and replied, "Whatever, it doesn't matter, let's start now, I'm running out of time!" ”
The uncle frowned, he felt that this young man was a little different today, but he couldn't say what it was.
"Time is running out?" What does that mean?
The uncle just thought about it for a moment and didn't pay much attention to it.
It's like no one cares about Chen Xiao's somewhat abnormal behavior today.
No one cared about the smile on his lips again and again.
No one cared about the madness that was deliberately hidden in his eyes.
No one cared about the corner of the cell, and it wasn't an apple core that was sitting today, but an apple that had only been bitten in one bite.
The bite was in the shape of a crescent moon, intentionally or unintentionally, and it looked like a big mouth laughing wildly.
......
