Dr. Chan was stunned.

The sun shines through the window and on the quilt, and the dark clouds of haze disperse...... He didn't know how long it had been since he had seen a morning like this, and the mottled gold was a little harsh.

May 20...... Valentine’s Day.

It was a cloudy day.

Lao Chen looked out the window in a daze, he suddenly realized something, and then he turned to the alarm clock next to the bed......

Morning, 8:10 a.m.

The date is May 21.

Finally...... Passed!

Dr. Chan smiled, after a lot of Valentine's Day that had been going back and forth countless times, he finally ushered in tomorrow, and the excitement made him forget the strange smell of the strangeness around him.

He just wanted to rush out of the bedroom now and tell his mother that he had finally taken a new step.

So he jumped out of bed and quickly pulled open the bedroom door.

The smell was even stronger, like a muddy batter that had been thickened, and poured in from the living room.

Dr. Chen was shocked to see his mother sitting quietly next to the bed, the sun just shone on her quiet and peaceful face, but her body did not feel the slightest temperature.

Only the blood in his chest, Dr. Chen's eyes burned like flames.

What made Dr. Chen even more incredible was that there were two people standing next to his mother.

It was a man and a woman, the man looked to be in his mid-20s, and the woman was younger, dressed in a gorgeous dress, sitting in a wheelchair, and holding a knife in her slender white hand, the tip of which was full of scarlet.

For a moment, Dr. Chen seemed to feel a sense of absurdity, and an inexplicable sense of grief and indignation, and a force that drained all the strength of his body, making him unable to stand steadily, and he stumbled, and he fell to his knees.

A drop of blood dripped from the tip of the knife in the girl's hand, hitting the floor, shaking Dr. Chen's brain like the sky was cracking.

At this moment, he finally knew what that smell was......

Smell of blood......

"You ...... Who are you......"

"Why did you kill her?"

"She's got nothing left!!"

Dr. Chan shouted, his body slowly curled up and he cried, but he didn't make a sound.

He's cowardly, all the time.

Both in this world and in the real world that he had almost forgotten.

Loneliness makes people weak, and this kind of saying that is criticized as 'hypocrisy' by happy people is like an iron law for people in deep loneliness.

Only hope can make people strong.

At this moment, Dr. Chan seemed to think of a girl under the night sky, smiling at herself, the stars in the sky, and the sound of a harmonica.

"Ahhhhh————h

Dr. Chan sprang to his feet, clumsily but with great force at the man in front of him...... Then, by inertia, he fell to the ground.

"You ...... Who is it? Why do you do this? ”

He repeated.

"Have you forgotten?" The man looked at Dr. Chen, who was struggling to get up on the ground..... "That's right, from the perspective of your brain frequency, you have been in this world for too long, always repeating the same scene, it is easy for people to forget the time, and if the time is blurred, then the other cognitions will soon be blurred, as if you keep writing the same word." ”

"What are you talking about?" Dr. Chan yelled and sprang up again, but his lunge was dodged again.

"Repeating a word, repeating the same word, after too many times, the human brain will block this kind of thing as a meaningless thing, so if you keep repeating the same day, then the brain will block more things, and even make you forget who you are."

The man continued, then reached out and grabbed Dr. Chen.

"You're a player!!"

Suddenly, Dr. Chan was stunned, he seemed to recall something.

"It's just a game! Look at me, my name is Lu Yuan, it's just a scene in the game, it's not real. He said, and then pointed to the woman behind him who had closed her eyes: "And her, she's not your mother, it's just an NPC, just a data ......."

Dr. Chan was dazed, and he turned his head to look at his mother beside the bed.

"A piece of data?" He muttered, something he had forgotten coming back to his mind very quickly.

At this moment, he finally remembered that this was actually a game world.

As if he had entered a dream, he forgot who he really was in a short period of time...... Of course, it was like waking up from a big dream, and Dr. Chan recalled everything in an instant.

But...... What about his own mother.

He seemed to have become accustomed to calling the woman sitting by the window "Mother".

"But...... But why did you kill her, woo-woo-woo————"

The pain in Dr. Chen's heart was not relieved in any way, but suddenly became more and more intense, and every time he looked at his mother, his words, and everything in the past, he did not become blurred because of the memory, but became more profound.

"Because...... It was she who begged us like this......" Lu Yuan said, and then took out a letter.

Dr. Chan took the envelope and opened it tremblingly.
